At this time, Xiao Rui, Guo Jia, Dian Wei, and Li Yuanfang had already penetrated hundreds of miles into the country of Yan, passed through two counties, and were only five or six days away from the capital of Yan.

Different from the Great Xia Kingdom, the local administration of the Yan Kingdom is divided into counties, prefectures, and counties, but its land area is only half of that of the Great Xia Kingdom, so there are only 36 counties.

Yandu is in the northeast of the entire Great Yan Kingdom, only five counties away from the Great Xia Kingdom, not the central location of the country, and because it is relatively close to the Great Xia Kingdom, once the Great Xia Kingdom turns its face and sends troops south, there will not be too many There is only one big river, the Yanjiang River. Once you cross the river, you can drive straight in. Xia's soldiers and horses are extremely fast, and they can attack the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom in six or seven days. It is very dangerous, so the Great Yan Kingdom has always been Thinking of forming a fraternal alliance with the Great Xia Kingdom.

Among the Seven Kingdoms, Yan Kingdom has the smallest land area and the weakest national strength. It is sandwiched between Wei, Zhao, and Daxia. It has only been established for more than [-] years, and because of the need for balance among the three countries, it has nothing to do with it.

Otherwise, the territory of Yan State must be the stalemate of the three kingdoms' war.

Emperor Yan of all dynasties also realized the weak situation of their country, so they spared no effort to arm themselves and protect themselves.

For example, the Yan Emperors of all dynasties excavated the Yanjiang River. Today's Yanjiang River is ten miles wide, which is a natural barrier, and 20 troops are stationed on the south bank of the Yanjiang River.This is to guard against the Great Xia Kingdom.

The terrain in the south is complex, the swamps are densely covered, and there are a lot of poisonous substances and poisonous insects. This natural barrier has largely prevented Wei. The cracked land gave Wei the opportunity to invade from the north.A long time ago, the land of Yan State belonged to Wei State, and later it was seized by the founding emperor of Yan State to stand on its own, so the enmity between Wei State and Yan State was passed down from the ancestors.

Therefore, Emperor Yan eagerly wanted to form an alliance with Daxia. Now that he had formed an alliance, he transferred back 20 of the 15 troops stationed in Yanjiang, and stationed in the south to guard against Wei.

To the north is the state of Zhao, and the border line is continuous mountains. There is no need for long-term defenses, and only a few pass defenses are needed to guard against the attack of the state of Zhao.

As for the west, there are towering snow-capped mountains, which are natural barriers that cannot be crossed.

The above is the external environment of Yan State, and there are more contradictions in the internal environment.

It is said that Prince Yan is fatuous and the other princes are incompetent.Princess Yan Linglong is intelligent and capable, but she is a girl.

There are many clans in the country, clans are separated, sectarianism is very serious, and local discrimination abounds.

Many of these problems are left over from history. Today's Emperor Yan is not capable enough. If he can have [-]% of Emperor Xia's level, he can manage Yan State in an orderly manner, but it is a pity that he does not have this level.

Now Emperor Yan is in his sixties, and it has been five years since Crown Prince Yan became crown prince, and he is not in good health and suffers from brain disease. Hua Tuo once treated him and suggested opening his head, which scared Emperor Yan to chop Hua Tuo.

You say that you will burp without knowing when, and you still control the throne. Not only will this not stabilize the court, but the undercurrent will be turbulent, and it is not uncommon to form parties for personal gain.

Xiao Rui had inquired about the situation in the country of Yan along the way. At this time, the four of Xiao Rui followed the caravan and entered Zhao County.

After crossing Zhao County, they entered the area of ​​Yandu. The four of them followed the caravan for more than ten days and arrived at the city of Zhao County, where they rested overnight and continued on their way.

After the four of them followed the caravan and settled down at the inn, they wandered around Zhao County.

Zhao County is adjacent to Yandu, which is equivalent to Hangzhou in the Great Xia Kingdom. It is the richest county among the 36 counties in the Yan Kingdom. Walking in the county at this time, Xiao Rui also felt the prosperity here, but compared to Hangzhou, it is not as good as it is!

However, the customs of Yan State are similar to those of Yan State, there is not much difference in basic necessities of life, food, housing, and transportation. The four of them strolled on the street. If they didn't say that they were from Daxia, they would not be able to tell that they were foreigners at all.

The four came to the most prosperous restaurant in the county, and the waiter asked enthusiastically: "What do the four guests eat? Are you going upstairs to the private room, or sitting in the hall?"

At this time, the first floor of the restaurant was very lively, many people were eating, and the four of them simply sat in the hall to listen to the news.

Soon, the food and wine were served, and the four of them ate while drinking.

Most of the diners are talking nonsense from all over the world, talking bragging big words, but the conversation of a table of diners has attracted the ideas of four people.

Just listen to them talking:

"Brother Wu is going to rush to Yandu? Could it be possible to get a high school in Yandu in the future?"

"Where is it? I am ashamed to say that my uncle was honored to be able to participate in the wedding ceremony of Her Royal Highness. You also know that my uncle has no children under his knees, so he asked me to go to Yandu and prepare to show me the world. If he can meet some dignitaries, Excellent too!"

"Ah! Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Wu, on your success! The marriage ceremony of Her Majesty the Princess is still more than half a month away. It is said that Her Majesty has decreed that the entire Yandu will celebrate it. It must be a grander than New Year's Eve! Not long ago! , His Majesty gave the decree to exempt the death penalty from the death penalty and reduce the land tax of the common people for one year, to celebrate the princess."

"Yes, His Majesty's love for Her Royal Highness is obvious to all! Ouyang Fei is so lucky to be favored by Her Royal Highness!"

"That's not true! It's not just the luck of the three lives, it's the smoke from the ancestral grave! Although the Ouyang family is one of the four major clans in the Yan Kingdom, Ouyang Fei is still the young master of the Ouyang family, but he is not worthy of Her Royal Highness!"

"However, Ouyang Fei's appearance is indeed handsome and unrestrained. Could it be that his appearance attracted Her Highness the Princess?"

"Fart! How could the princess be that kind of person!"

......

Xiao Rui touched his cheek, Yan Linglong's fiancé looks handsome?

Dissatisfied!

Xiao Rui absolutely refused to accept it!

Can you have your own prosperous face and handsome face?

When he arrived in Yandu, he wanted to see how Ouyang Fei looked and how he was not as handsome as himself, then he could humiliate Yan Linglong well, scold her for what she looks like!

If he is more handsome than yourself... no, no if!

At this moment, the two who were discussing just now suddenly lowered their voices and started discussing Prince Yan.

"Have you heard? After the princess was pregnant, she was almost killed by the prince?"

"Huh? Really?"

"Of course it's true! Have you forgotten the rumors? His Royal Highness has a very special hobby!"

"So His Royal Highness feels that he is dirty? Has he been insulted?"

"Uh...Shhh, this is a serious crime of beheading! Don't talk nonsense! But I heard that Yue Shuying, the minister of the Crown Prince's aide, has returned to Zhao County! Do you think you are jealous?"

"Yue Shuying is back? His Yue family is the top aristocratic family in Zhao County, and he, Yue Shuying, is the son of the Yue family. Hey, he even went to Yandu to serve as the crown prince's confinement. I heard that the Yue family mainly broke up with him. Father-son relationship!"

"Tsk tsk... I've heard that too, you said Yue Shuying was a victim, or, hehe, you know..."

"Fuck! I haven't tried it! How do I know!"

Just as the two of them were smiling evilly, suddenly, their eyes fixed because they found a person appeared in front of the restaurant.

Not only the two of them, but all the guests in the hall were shocked.

"It's Young Master Yue!"

"It's Mr. Yue Shuying! Why is he here?"

The diners around immediately exclaimed in a low voice.

Xiao Rui became interested, he turned his head to look, and wanted to appreciate what Prince Yan's confinement looks like!

Chapter 330: Pretty boy Yue Shuying

Prince Yan's ban?

Jealous of returning to Zhaojun?

Xiao Rui's fire of gossip was blazing, and he immediately turned his head to look in front of the door, wanting to appreciate who the man Crown Prince Yan is fancying is exactly!
