Qiantuo City, in the north of Tuhuiguo, was the first large city to Chuhuiguo desert, strangling the transportation routes from south to north, and those who are not capable cannot guard it. Long Yuli survived from the era of the old king Tieku to the new king Tiebu ascended the throne. He has been the Guancheng Envoy of Qiantuo City for twelve years and is the most famous local snake in the city. As Guancheng Envoy, Long Yuli, who has made money well, was once one of the iron subordinates of the old king Tieku.

What made many people feel incredible is that Long Yuli was prosperous during the old king Tieku period, and the new king Tiebu treated him well. The old king Tieku regarded Long Yuli as an important foreign minister, and asked him to guard one side and give him the title of Guancheng Envoy. Because he was successful in suppressing the rebellion, he was granted the title of Qiantuobo. The new king Tiebu ascended the throne, also regarded Long Yuli as an important foreign minister, and still appointed him to guard Qiantuo City and changed his title to Shuncheng Bo.

As a tumbler in the officialdom, Long Yuli was loyal to Tieku during the old king Tieku. After Tieku's death, Long Yuli turned to Tiebu again and made a good fortune in Tiebu. He got the trust of King Tiebu, Prime Minister Ma Qingdong and General Toru Wushu, who protected the country. Tiebu also said the joke that Long Yuli had to be the king of Qiantuo after getting drunk.

Long Yuli was loyal to the court, but he was not stupid and knew how to judge the situation and maximize his interests. When the old king Tieku relied on Tiebu, he tactfully advised Tieku to relied on his three sons Tiehui, Tieling and Tiedun. When the old king disagreed with his opinions, he had no objection and still kept his Qiantuo City honestly. He did not speak out for advice in order not to anger the Lord. Even if he occasionally advised him, he would stand completely on the court's standpoint.

Such a person who can control his mouth and knows what to say and what not to say is not annoying. Moreover, he earns money and mostly uses it to the powerful and wealthy people in the court, and occasionally helps the poor people. Therefore, this person has a very good reputation in the court and among the people. After a sudden return to China, it is not only the third prince Tiedun who has a good impression of Long Yuli.

The reason why the Tie Dun brothers were not killed quickly during the escape was because Long Yuli secretly bought the Blood Hand Group assassins who went to assassinate the three princes. The Blood Hand Group assassins were also human, and they were also jealous of money, so they could chase and kill the three brothers all the way to Da Shang. If Tie Bu and Ma Qingdong had not been able to kill the Tie Dun brothers because the killers of the Blood Hand Group were unable to kill the Tie Dun brothers and suspected that there was an insider and secretly bribed the killers of Luoyu Pavilion, the Tie Dun brothers would have survived.

If he could not escape to Da Shang, Tie Dun would not have the chance to meet Tang Jiusheng at the auction in Huzhou Prefecture, and he would probably be buried in the wilderness like his two brothers. Long Yuli was like Tie Dun's life-saving benefactor, so Tie Dun's favor for Long Yuli was like a surging river. The first thing Tie Dun did when he returned to Tu's country was actually to meet Long Yuli. Today, he finally got what he wanted.

Qiantuo City has a tall city wall with a circumference of sixteen miles, making it the largest city within a radius of three hundred miles. Although the lives of the people who returned to China in the past three to five years have not been very easy, under the governance of Long Yuli, the streets of Qiantuo City are still crowded and bustling, which can be called lively and prosperous, and the lives of ordinary people are still acceptable. At least compared with other cities, the people have food to eat and will not be hungry.

Although the return to China is not considered rich compared to the Da Shang Dynasty, the old king Tieku was relatively clear. During the period when Tieku was in power, only after severe floods and droughts occurred, people would rebel in anger because the local government managed the city and could not afford to provide disaster relief and food. After Tiebu came to power, he only cared about his own enjoyment, regardless of the lives of the people, so the people's livelihood was far inferior to that of the Tieku period. The people secretly scolded the new king for being incompetent.

Tang Jiusheng and Tie Dun were dressed as merchants, and slowly walked on the streets of Qiantuo City on horseback, attracting the attention of seven or eight young children on the street. Tang Jiusheng saw that most of these children were at the age of enlightenment, but he was confused and helped the adults carry firewood and grass on the street to sell them. They were obviously illiterate. So Tang Jiusheng asked quietly: "Tiedan, why don't these children go to school?"

Tie Dun smiled bitterly and said, "My eldest prince, what did you ask, remind me of why not eat meat? The children of the people of the Great Shang Dynasty are not all available to study, let alone returning to China? Tiebu has only cared about living a good life for himself in the past three years, and has been making sudden recurring things. Not to mention studying, even eating is a problem! Isn't there a saying in the Great Shang Dynasty that 'If the granaries are full, you know etiquette, and if you have enough food, you know honor and disgrace.' It's good that they can barely eat enough, so how can they have enough energy to study?"

Tang Jiusheng sighed and said with emotion: "It turns out that the emperor is unlucky and the people are suffering! Looking at Tiebu's virtue, you will know that the people's lives will not be better. Fortunately, you are back!"

Tie Dun was so scared that he quickly whispered: "Boss, speak softly, don't listen to it! Tie Bu and Ma Qingdong have placed eyeliners in the city of Chuhui. What's the name? Especially those who ride tall horses like us, we have to be careful in every move!" Tang Jiusheng shook his head, there was no way. Although Tie Dun was a dignified Chuhui prince, he lost power. It was no wonder that he looked cautious.

Behind, Ling Jianfei, Xiahou Lingyu and others dressed up as caravans and pulled some tea, medicinal materials, silk, ceramics and other items into the city. They had to spend some money to deal with the soldiers at the city gate.

Before entering the city, the brothers of Xiaowei had already set up a front station and arranged a famous inn in the city in advance, called Guangtong Inn. Tang Jiusheng, Tiedun and others were resting at Guangtong Inn. Guangtong Inn was very large, larger than the courtyard of ordinary rich families. The stable was behind the inn, and there was a special groom to serve him. When you got off the horse at the inn, someone would come to greet him immediately.

The boss behind this Guangtong inn is said to be Long Yuli's brother-in-law Philadelphia Quan. Because of this background, he can have a prosperous life in this Qiantuo City. No one in the local yamen dares to come here to harass him. It is precisely because living in Guangtong inn is relatively safe, and merchants traveling from south to north are willing to live here, so most of the guests are rich.

After Tang Jiusheng and Tieton moved into Room No. 6, they ordered some food to fill their stomachs briefly. Then they prepared a heavy gift and went to the direction of Guanzangcheng Mansion together. The rest stayed at the inn. Someone had arranged to arrange the housekeeper Long Qing in Long Yuli's mansion, pretending to be a big merchant from Tuchang Country. They wanted to meet Lord Long, in order to operate in the area of ​​Qiantuo City, Lord Long was surrounded by Lord Long.

Originally, Long Yuli was disdainful to deal with the meeting of merchants, especially the merchants who returned to China who suddenly returned to China ignored them and handed them over to the two wives of the back house and two housekeepers. He did not want to lose the reputation of collusion between officials and businessmen. Long Yuli is now Shun Chengbo, who was sealed by iron-bu, who cherishes his feathers and reputation very much. He is also afraid that he will fall into the hands of some people. The position of the envoy of the Lead Tuo City City is something that some people are thinking about!

But after all, these two merchants came from Changtu. In the past two years, the relationship between Changtu and Tu's return has improved and they have communicated with each other. Long Yuli, as the city envoy of Qiantu City, has the responsibility to manage foreign merchants, so he is unwilling to offend these foreigners. Moreover, Long Yuli has a heart disease, fearing that Tiebu will know about bribing the Blood Hand Group, so he is also secretly planning a retreat and making friends with the officials and businessmen of Changtu and Dashang.

The flower hall of the Guancheng Mansion of Qiantuo City is quite generous, which is comparable to the living room of the middle-aged and rich family of the Shang Dynasty. It is all full of mahogany furniture. Guancheng Mansion Long Yuli sat in the main seat with a warm smile on his face, chatting with Tang Jiusheng and Tie Dun. Tang Jiusheng and Tie Dun were sitting at the table, one left and one right, with tea and fresh fruits in front of him. The three of them were chatting and laughing, talking about the sudden business relationship with Changtu Country, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

The Guancheng envoy of Qiantuo City was about 40 years old. He was in his prime. He was burly, with a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, red face, and a brown brocade robe. He was dressed as a rich man. But his big hands revealed that this man was extraordinary in martial arts. Indeed, Long Yuli was known as the King of Qiantuo Dalong. He survived from the personal soldiers of the lieutenant to Guancheng envoy. He fought nearly thirty battles, and made the bandits frightened.

After chatting for a long time, Long Yuli coughed and smiled and said, "Two, I am busy with official duties during the day and I am a little tired. I can't chat with you again. Let's have time to chat another day, okay?" This is the order to expel the guest.

Tiedun, who was a pseudonym Gulebo, smiled and said, "Yes, Lord Long is busy with official business, so we won't disturb you much. I will definitely invite the adults to enjoy the scenery one day and have a glass of water and wine with us!" Tiedun stood up and bowed, "Lord Long, the villain has another treasure. I want to offer it to the adults, but it is not in the gifts I just now."

Long Yuliqi said, "Oh? There are gifts? The gifts Mr. Gu just now gave is quite precious. I am already ashamed of it. Why do I have gifts?"

Tiedun smiled and said, "Mr. Long is a member of the country, what have you seen before? Those gifts are not expensive. Gu has a pair of golden pills here to offer to the adults. The pair of golden pills were purchased by the villain from the Great Shang Kingdom. It is said that they were originally from the Great Shang Kingdom. I don't know who gave it to the people, so the villain paid a lot of money to buy it. The villain knew that Lord Long loved rare toys the most, so he gave it to Lord Long!"

This time, Long Yuli smiled all over his face, and Long Yuli pretended to say, "Oh, Mr. Gu, you are so polite! Why is Long so embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift?" Tie Dun took two steps forward, took out a green brocade box from his arms, and presented it to Long Yuli with both hands. Long Yuli had already driven out his left and right, so he stood up and took it with both hands.

After Tiedun handed the brocade box to Long Yuli, he smiled and said, "Mr. Long, please appreciate it!"

Long Yuli laughed, put the brocade box on the table, opened the switch on the brocade box with his hand, and with a snap, the lid of the brocade box bounced up, and a golden ball the size of a child's fist flashed brightly. I saw a small golden dragon plate on the golden ball, like a living thing, trembling with its dragon whiskers, the dragon's eyes turned, and its tail swung, emitting golden light. It was indeed finely crafted and very beautiful.

Long Yuli said happily, "It's indeed a treasure! Oh, Mr. Gu has really spent money!" Long Yuli was already extremely happy when he saw this big golden pill, but then his eyes fell on another small golden pill. When Long Yuli saw the golden pill that was more than half smaller, his heart was overturned. Long Yuli took the small golden pill silently, looked at it, nodded and said, "Well, it's not bad, this golden pill is indeed priceless! Mr. Gu, I will collect your big golden pill, please take the small one back!"

Tieton smiled and stepped forward, took Xiao Jin

Maru put it in his arms and bowed, "Sir, when will you have time to go to Baichunlou in the city to have fun together?"

Long Yuli thought for a while and nodded, "Okay! If nothing happens, let's see you tomorrow night!" Long Yuli stood up with a serious look on his face and bowed, "Then I won't give you two, let's see you tomorrow Baichunlou! Longqing, see you off!"

The housekeeper Long Qing agreed outside and came in to invite the two guests out. Tang Jiusheng and Tie Dun both bid farewell to Long and left with Long Qing.

Seeing that the two had already walked away, Long Yuli, who had seen the strong wind and waves, stood there in a daze. It took a long time to recover. Long Yuli gritted his teeth and thought to himself, aren’t all the three high men already killed? This little golden pill was clearly the third emperor, with the word Tiedun engraved on it. The Gu one said that this was a palace forbidden item in the Da Shang Kingdom, which obviously had something else to say.

Moreover, after he said that Xiao Jinmaru was too expensive and asked him to take it back, the Gu man took Xiao Jinmaru back without hesitation, and he didn't even look at Da Jinmaru. Obviously, he knew that this Xiao Jinmaru could not be easily seen. Then he must know the secret of this Jinmaru, otherwise there would be no reason to give it back and take it back? Is he testing me? Is he a person from Tiebu or Ma Qingdong? Or the third prince's person?

Long Yuli looked down at the Dajin Pill in the box. Seeing that the Dajin Pill was extremely exquisite in work, it was obviously a royal property. In other words, this is the golden Pill from the Da Shang Kingdom. If the artistic value alone, this one is obviously ten times better than that one. Long Yuli thought about it again in his mind. Since Gulebo asked him to go to Baichun Tower for entertainment, he obviously could not trust the people in the city lord's mansion and wanted to say something to me privately.

Long Yuli carefully put the green brocade box in his arms, put it in his arms, and sighed slowly, "As long as you go and see it tomorrow, it will naturally come to the bottom of the truth!" Long Yuli put the brocade box in his arms and went back to the house. Long Yuli had something to do, and before he knew it, he walked outside the door of the third concubine, Bolu Chunxiang.

Bolu Chunxiang was playing the piano in the house, but two little maids playing at the door whispered under the eaves of the corridor: "I will see you!" In the house behind the lower residence, the maids and servants only called masters, not masters. However, the two little maids were so loud that they were obviously reminding Bolu Chunxiang.

Long Yuli waved his hand and signaled the two little maids to retreat. The little maid bowed and stepped back. Bolu Chunxiang hurriedly got up, put on a little makeup in the mirror, and then smiled and took it out. Bolu Chunxiang, who was quite beautiful and melodious, bowed to Long Yuli Wanfu, "I've seen the master!"

While walking into the house, Long Yuli laughed and said, "No gift! Chunxiang, I'm a little uneasy today. Why don't you play a song for me!"

Bru Chunxiang smiled and said, "Yes, Master! The master must be busy with official business and is tired. Please sit down and let me play the song "Luo River Water" to relieve my worries and boredom! Master, do you want a dancer to dance with a bride?"

Long Yuli waved his hand, leaned on the couch, and chuckled softly, "No need to call the dancer, I just want to relieve my boredom, just listen to you playing a song!"

Bolu Chunxiang said respectfully: "Yes!" Bolu Chunxiang washed his hands and burned incense, stroked the piano, and a pair of delicate jade hands were flying on the piano. Sure enough, his skills were extraordinary, and his voice was like the sound of nature. Long Yuli was intoxicated by the sound of the piano. After playing the song, Long Yuli was still tilted on the couch and stared blankly. Bolu Chunxiang knew Long Yuli's temper and did not dare to disturb him.

The eldest maid Lu Cha poked his head at the door, nodded to Bolu Chunxiang, indicating that there was something to say. Bolu Chunxiang shook his head gently at her, pointed at Long Yuli quietly, and then used his fingers to make a silent expression. He compared his hand to a heart, indicating that Green Tea would retreat. Green Tea understood and nodded. Bolu Chunxiang sat quietly next to Long Yuli, not daring to disturb him.

After a long time, Long Yuli reacted and asked with a smile: "Have you finished playing so soon? Well, I'll live with you tonight! You told someone to bring my supper here, and I'll have dinner with you tonight!" Bolu Chunxiang agreed respectfully and immediately ordered the little maid Mo Qing to inform the kitchen. Long Yuli took out a green brocade box from his arms and handed it to Bolu Chunxiang, and smiled: "This is the golden pill given by two merchants from Changtu Kingdom. You will collect it first!"

Bolu Chunxiang took the green brocade box, bowed and bowed, carefully opened it, and praised, "Don't say, they are really a treasure! These two merchants are so sensible, it's really good! It seems that the master will take care of them in the future! It's just that such a precious treasure will be kept by the noble concubine. Don't worry? Why not give it to the wife?"

Long Yuli pulled Bru Chunxiang into her arms, shaved her tender face, and laughed and said, "What are you saying? You are also my close friend of the master. You and my wife are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones who are afraid of being jealous when they know what they have? Don't worry, the master, she won't be jealous of the wife, she is a person who knows the importance of the matter!"

Then Bolu Chunxiang struggled to get up and put away the green brocade box. Long Yuli suddenly smiled strangely and said to herself: "It's said that it's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster! Master, I will either be developed or go further or be defeated!" Bolu Chunxiang didn't know what Long Yuli meant and dared not agree.
Chapter completed!
