The most difficult system to open in history

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yue's forward steps remained unchanged, and then the cold voice continued to resound in the heavy snow:

"Those who can reproduce in Liuli City must be the remnants of the previous dynasty. Therefore, in other words, the blood of a traitor is flowing in your body. You are very smart, so you can naturally understand the concerns and reasons behind it."

As soon as these words came out, Xue Bancheng's extremely handsome face changed, and then he stared at the tall and straight figure in front of him, and just about to ask, the voice belonging to Jiang Yue continued to come from the front:

"You want to ask why this is the case. My Bei'an Palace will do everything possible to keep you? Because the old man will not know your origin. Now that he knows, but still wants to bring you to Daxia, it means that you There are qualities he particularly appreciates.

"The old man spent all his life in the brothel, did not leave any disciples behind, but he was your guide on the extreme northern snowfield, so in a sense, you are very important to me and the Bei'an Palace. It has an unusual meaning, and it can also be said to be a family."

Jiang Yue's words were not light or heavy, and they were very plain, but they shocked Xue Bancheng who was walking forward behind him, especially the three words "family", which made every cell in the latter's body uneasy. Consciously shivering, as if a never-before-seen heat surged from the heart, and then went straight to the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Hot and fiery!

This was the first time that Xue Bancheng felt this kind of unconditional care. He had never met Jiang Yue in front of him, and the entire Daxia Bei'an Palace, but they walked together under ingenious opportunities.

This mysterious and mysterious feeling of warmth made Xue Bancheng's eyes burst into tears, and then the young Xueman resisted the urge to cry, and followed Jiang Yue silently, all the way forward OK.

The heavy snow fell, and the extremely young figures of the two Taoists did not speak any more after that, and walked out of the palace all the way, and there was already a carriage waiting at the gate of the Bei'an palace.

"Your Majesty is in Nancheng right now, follow me into the carriage."

Accompanied by the faint sound of speaking, Jiang Yue came to the carriage and opened the curtain to step in, but the moment he stepped out, his movements suddenly stopped, hesitated for a while, and asked softly:

"Everything that happened before the old man's death, you said it very clearly during the interrogation, and I have read it, but I still want to ask, is his final state still okay?"

Jiang Yue's sudden question stunned Xue Bancheng, and then the latter nodded, and said word by word with a solemn face:

"The old prince is in very good condition, calm, wise, courageous and extremely powerful!"

"It seems that this bad old man was very serious before his death."

Jiang Yue hid the tears in his eyes without moving darkly, and after a murmur, he stepped into the carriage.

Chapter 0995 oil candle

At Tianmenguan, the night always comes very fast, often giving people a feeling of unfinished business, and when the carriage that stopped at the gate of Bei'an Prince's Mansion started slowly, the last ray of sunlight in the western sky completely disappeared into the sky Under the Hundred Thousand Mountains at the end.

The sun is returning to the mountains, and the darkness is accompanied by blizzards that completely take over this northernmost city in Daxia. However, everyone in the entire Tianmenguan is not surprised by this, because the lights of every household are lit up almost at the same time, completely illuminating Tianmenguan. Especially the Tianmenguan South City, which was already extremely prosperous, was brightly lit, like daytime.

Nancheng Central Avenue, due to the heavy snowfall and the holding of Tomorrow's National Day, the bustling crowds on the wide street have decreased a lot, and the hunters who were originally pulling carts of snow beasts to trade with the chamber of commerce, at this time They all gathered in the restaurant to remember the old King Bei'an.

In the center of some empty avenues, outside the four-story buildings that stand out from the surrounding crowd, the banner with the four characters of the South Merchant Association is flying back and forth in the snow, and at the same time, people are coming in and out under the banner, which seems quite busy .

Ever since the South Merchant Association got on the line of the Imperial Household Department and completed it very beautifully, its development momentum has grown explosively. In addition, some time ago, the Chamber of Commerce's shopkeeper Fang and his men fought against Liuli City, and they were safe and sound. After the news of the return came out, the reputation of the Nanke Chamber of Commerce in the entire Tianmenguan was instantly the same.

For all chambers of commerce in Shenzhou Haotu, the importance of word of mouth is self-evident, and it directly represents the degree of trust in transactions. In the lobby for trading, it was still extremely lively.

In the study room on the top floor of the South Chamber of Commerce, under the bright lights, Mrs. Fang, who was looking down at the accounts, slowly raised her head, then rubbed her brows, and asked softly to the old butler who stepped in from the outside:

"The sun is about to set, the master and Pearl are still asleep?

"Since the father and daughter returned from the extreme northern snowfield, they have eaten and slept every day. They have completely become hands-free shopkeepers. Originally, I expected that I would be able to relax when the master came back, but I didn't expect things to increase instead of decrease."

Although the words of Mrs. Fang behind the desk are slightly complaining, her ordinary face is full of smiles, and if you observe carefully, you will find that the corners of her smiling eyes are more There are many wrinkles, and the white hair on the head has also grown a lot. These were caused by worries a few days ago, and they grew overnight. At this time, her husband and daughter were safe and sound. bright.

After Mrs. Fang's voice fell, the old housekeeper who also had a smile on his face cupped his hands forward, and then the old voice came out:

"Madam, the master and miss have just returned from the northern snowfield, exhausted physically and mentally, and it is time to take a good rest, and according to your instructions, I gave a generous reward to those men who followed the master to the northward snowfield, and at the same time They all took a long vacation to recuperate."

"So good."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Fang nodded, raised her hand and took a sip from the teacup beside her, then slowly got up, while the voice continued to sound in the small study:

"Tomorrow is the great funeral of the old Bei'an King. We will do our best to repay the old prince for taking care of the master and Pearl on the snowy field, and I will wait for the Southern Merchant Association. Follow me to the lobby downstairs to see Let's see how things are prepared."

"Yes, ma'am, there is still a trace of hunters and merchants negotiating in the lobby at this time, but the oil candles and other things to be sent to Beicheng are already being prepared."

The old butler stroked the white beard on his chest, followed Mrs. Fang down the stairs, and the voice continued:

"The number of mourning ceremonies is cumbersome and the scale is huge. This time, according to His Majesty's request, the funeral of the old prince was placed in the north city of Tianmenguan, and our Tianmenguan itself is mainly engaged in fur trade, and many things are extremely scarce. Some time ago, I made a special trip and ordered some things, but fortunately, our chamber of commerce has all those things in stock."

"Do my best to meet the requirements."

There was firmness in Mrs. Fang's voice, and then she walked down the stairs slowly, to the very spacious second-floor lobby, and walked into it.

Compared with the first floor where fur and animal meat are purchased, the second floor of the chamber of commerce, which is mainly used to sell items, is undoubtedly much quieter. A large number of various items are placed in rows, most of which are located in Tianmen Pass. The necessities for life, warmth and lighting, and some are from the Central Plains, which are expensive and in short supply, such as rouge gouache and other rare items in the North.

Suddenly, a young and steady voice came from not far away to the ears of Mrs. Fang who had just stepped into the lobby on the second floor:

"The scale of the South Merchant Association even exceeds most of the shops in Shenjing City. It is not easy."

Hearing the word "Shenjingcheng", Mrs. Fang raised her eyebrows subconsciously, and then she turned her head to look, her complexion changed slightly again, because what directly caught her eyes was an extremely burly figure.

Mrs. Fang who lives in Tianmenguan has never seen the snowmen who are known as the little giants of the snowfield, but those snowmen are still a circle smaller than the figure in front of them, and beside the burly figure, there are two Young and tall figures stood, and all three of them were wearing animal fur felt hats, and the faces under the hats looked extremely young.

Then under Mrs. Fang's gaze, the three young people wandering around on the second floor stopped in front of the cabinet selling oil lamps and candles, and then the young man in the middle raised his hand to pick up a creamy yellow candle wick , after staring at the ebony black eyes for a few breaths, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"The wick of this candle is milky yellow. Could it be that it was refined from the fat of snow beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains?"

The voice of the young man's words was not light or heavy, but there was an imposing power that made people unable to resist worshiping in the calmness. Then he brought the lamp oil in his hand close to his nose and sniffed, and the steady voice continued to sound:

"It's not that our Daxia Ministry of Industry has never thought of using snow animal oil to make lamp oil, but it is said that although there is a lot of snow animal oil, it has an unpleasant stench. The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry have tried countless kinds. It is difficult to get rid of this malpractice with any method, so in the end, it was left alone.”

After the young man's words fell, Mrs. Fang not far away showed a smile, approached slowly and said:

"This young man has really good eyesight. This is indeed a candle made of snow animal fat, and with the unique refining technology of our Southern Merchant Association, it not only burns longer than other candles, but also has no fishy smell. It has a faint fragrance, and the price is very cheap."

After Madam Fang finished speaking, a smile appeared on her face again, she looked at the handsome face of the young man in front of her, and continued to speak apologetically:

"Young master is not an ordinary person at first glance, but it may be difficult to purchase a large number of these snow beast oil candles recently, because our inventory will be shipped to Beicheng, but you can tell the number, and wait for a new batch of oil candles to be made. The South Chamber of Commerce can give you a discount as an apology."

Chapter 0996 the most basic patience

On the second floor of Tianmen Guannan Merchant Association, Zhao Yu, accompanied by Liang Po and Sima Annan, held a creamy yellow snow beast oil candle in his hand, and looked sideways at Mrs. Fang who was walking slowly. A strange color flashed in his eyes.

Next to Zhao Yu, Sima Annan, who was wearing a white shirt inside and a thick snow jacket outside, also had curiosity in his eyes, and then whispered in Zhao Yu's ear:

"Your Majesty, I have seen a different feeling in this female shopkeeper. This feeling is the strongest in Shopkeeper Yue. It is a supernatural power that can empty your wallet at will."

After Sima Annan finished speaking, he still patted the money pouch lining his waist with lingering fear. It can be seen that when he was in Shenjing City, he was often sucked up by Crescent Moon Square.

Then while Sima Annan was muttering, shopkeeper Fang came to Zhao Yu, also reached out to pick up another oil candle from the cabinet, and continued to speak:

"The young masters are very unfamiliar. They shouldn't come to our Tianmenguan very often. Could it be that they came from the capital of God?"

After Mrs. Fang's words fell, Zhao Yu, who was wearing a thick felt hat and covered the cinnabar pattern on the avenue between his brows, became more and more interested, and spoke lightly, and then came out in a steady voice:

"The shopkeeper has good eyesight. We are indeed from Shenjing City, and we are old acquaintances with the head of this chamber of commerce and the little girl named Pearl."

As soon as Zhao Yu said this, after a little thought, the middle-aged woman opposite him suddenly became very friendly, and quickly turned around and raised her hand to pretense, and said with great enthusiasm:

"Young Master, isn't it the monks who once fought side by side with my master on the snowy field?

"Then have a cup of tea first. After the head of the family came back, he just told me very briefly what happened in the depths of the snow field. He said that the great figures and high-ranking monks of our court gathered together, but I am a woman. People don't understand these things, so if there is any negligence, please look at Haihan."

Mrs. Fang's ordinary face was filled with a heartfelt and grateful smile. In fact, shopkeeper Fang didn't reveal too many details to her after returning, but the oath that once resounded throughout the entire Tianmen has always been in her heart. The heart keeps lingering:

Those who are in the great summer will be saved even if they are far away!

Therefore, Mrs. Fang, who was extremely grateful in her heart, did not know the true identity of Zhao Yu and the others, but she also knew that without those soldiers who fought in the snowy field, her husband and daughter would definitely not be able to come back this trip, so this heartfelt After the grateful middle-aged woman finished speaking, she hurriedly continued to speak to the old housekeeper behind:

"Mr. Li, prepare tea quickly, and then go and call the master and Pearl. At the same time, the young master and his party will not charge a cent for the items purchased at the South Merchants Association."

Mrs. Fang's expression of true feelings made Sima Annan beside Zhao Yu secretly nodded. Although a businessman seeks profit, knowing gratitude is the prerequisite for being a human being. Afterwards, the voice from Zhao Yu continued to sound from the corner of the lobby on the second floor:

"The shopkeeper doesn't have to be like this. I'm just waiting here for someone to take a look around. However, the ability of the South Merchant Association to turn waste into treasure is an eye-opener."

"To be honest, my lord, this is also due to my daughter Zhenzhu, who got rid of the fishy smell in the snow beast oil by chance and coincidence."

After Madam Fang finished speaking, a very doting smile appeared on her face, and then she raised her eyes and glanced at Zhao Yu and the others, who looked extremely young but had an extraordinary temperament, her eyes rolled around, and a very serious feeling suddenly appeared in her heart. Bold ideas.

Not to mention Zhao Yu and Sima Annan, the two handsome gentlemen who are facing the wind, even Liang Po, who is extremely tall and burly, has a handsome face when you look closely. On the contrary, most of the people living in the southern city of Tianmenguan are hunters who go hunting in Shiwanda Mountain. On weekdays, not only the face is rough, but most of them are slovenly and slovenly, so Mrs. Fang has a lot of worries about Pearl's marriage on weekdays.

As the saying goes, when a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more she sees her, the happier she is. At this time, shopkeeper Fang, who had a subtle idea in his heart, immediately became more enthusiastic towards Zhao Yu and the others, and led them to a side of the second floor with great strides. Beside the desk where he had a short rest, he poured tea himself, and said loudly:

"If you don't dislike it, you can wait here, Steward Li, go and cut some snow beast meat and bring it here, it's getting late, fill your stomachs first.

"This master and Zhuzhu are really good. They have been here for so long and still haven't come. How can we neglect the distinguished guests? I'll show you. The young masters are waiting here, so don't leave."

After finishing the words, Mrs. Fang smiled at Zhao Yu and the others again, then turned around and walked out in a hurry.

After the back of the extremely enthusiastic lady shopkeeper disappeared outside the door, Sima Annan put down the teacup in his hand, and slowly spit out a sentence very strangely:

"This shopkeeper's wife must have some intentions!"

Then Zhao Yu nodded, raised his hand to take a sip of the steaming tea, and said flatly:

"I don't have money with me, and I'm married, and I'm about to become a father, so I have no money, no color, and nothing to pursue, but you, Sima Aiqing, are different, so you should be more careful.

"However, you have seen that little girl named Pearl. She is lively and pleasant, and her temperament is tough and not squeamish. She is really the choice of a good wife. The most important thing is that the South Merchant Association is just such an only daughter. I really don't think about it. one time?"

As soon as Zhao Yuna's teasing voice came out, Sima Annan's expression turned bitter, and he begged:

"Your Majesty, don't bury me anymore. If this word reaches Rui'er, I will have a hard time. Please let me go to the imperial examination in peace!"

Although Sima Annan's words were full of complaints, his handsome face was full of joy. He thought that during this period of time he recited poems and made friends, accompanied by beauties, and lived a very comfortable life. However, when this man in his heart When the proud young man saw Zhao Yu's black eyes like stars in the night sky, his heart thumped for no reason, and he felt a bad feeling.

Whenever the young emperor showed such eyes, it meant that his good days were about to come to an end. Just as he was about to shrink his neck and beg for mercy, Jiang Yue, who came slowly with Xue Bancheng not far away, took Zhao Yu's life away. At the same time, Sima Annan heaved a sigh of relief.

"Are you the Xue Bancheng who came from Liuli City in the north?"

Zhao Yu stared at the young Xuemin who was kneeling in front of him and saluted with his head bowed. After a flash of thought flashed in his eyes, he continued to ask, and then Emperor Huanghuang's voice came down again:

"I'm very curious. It's been more than ten days since you came from Glazed City in the north, but no matter what kind of situation you encounter, you never make any request and just wait silently. Why?"

The young emperor's calm and majestic inquiry fell, and Xue Bancheng slowly raised his head, revealing his handsome appearance, which was enough to surprise anyone. Then he opened his lips lightly, and responded slowly with a slightly hoarse voice:

"The snowfields in the north are too cold and prey is too scarce, so predators often use ambushes to hunt, and patience is the foundation of the foundation. If you don't even have this, you will starve to death on the snowfields."

Chapter 0997 Guarantee

On Central Avenue, at the gate of the South Customer Chamber of Commerce, under the extremely curious gazes of the surrounding hunters and businessmen, the shopkeeper Fang, whose face was full of excitement, and Mrs. Fang, who was pinching the corners of her clothes with her hands and looking at a loss, respectfully Send several young figures to an extremely large carriage.

After Zhao Yu and the others boarded the carriage, the ordinary-looking Mrs. Fang was still in a trance, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly pulled her daughter Pearl who was walking by her, and whispered in the latter's ear road:

"Pearl, this is the first time His Majesty has come to our Tianmenguan South City for a private visit. You should lead the way carefully, and don't chatter non-stop when you are not asked."

The little girl Pearl is wearing a brand-new snow-white coat today, and there are a little freckles on her fair face, which not only does not affect her appearance, but looks more playful. Afterwards, Pearl smiled and puffed up her chest and responded:

"Don't worry, mother, it's not the first time that Your Majesty and I have met, this time we promise to complete the task!"

As soon as the words fell, Pearl jumped into the carriage under the worried eyes of her mother, and then the carriage moved slowly, before being hidden in the heavy snow after a while.

"Master, Pearl is usually rash, I'm afraid she will appear disrespectful in front of His Majesty."

Mrs. Fang stared closely at the direction where the carriage disappeared, and said some worried words from her mouth. Then the middle-aged woman turned around, and just about to continue speaking, she found that the burly body of shopkeeper Fang had slipped back into the hall. At the door, I suddenly lost my temper, and said loudly:

"Fang Youcai, what are you going to do?"

"I'll go back to sleep."

The shopkeeper Fang not far away yawned, and a lazy voice came, which made Mrs. Fang raise her brows, strode after the former, and continued to speak angrily:

"As the saying goes, companionship with a king is like companionship with a tiger. If you still want to sleep, you will know how to sleep every day."

"Your Majesty is not something scary. There is nothing to worry about. Besides, our Pearl is much more mature and tough than you imagined. As a father, I don't worry at all."

After the shopkeeper Fang finished speaking, he opened his mouth wide and let out a big yawn, and the somewhat hoarse voice continued to sound:

"After coming back from this extreme northern snowfield, I, old man, realized that compared with life, everything else in this world can be put aside, especially money and other external things. Although there is money in my name, but Now, I just want to enjoy life, and during this period of time, I still have to work hard on you, madam."

After Shopkeeper Fang's voice fell, Mrs. Fang came to the former's huge body, stretched out her hand to greet him, and slapped the latter's arm with a slap, and then an angry voice came out:

"It's been a day and night, you really can't sleep to death, since you wake up, let's have a meal first, oops, I almost forgot, our daughter hasn't eaten for almost a day, she must be starving."

Right after Mrs. Fang's exclamation sounded, a rumbling sound from a hungry stomach sounded directly inside the large carriage driving in the snow in the southern city of Tianmenguan, which was particularly abrupt in the extremely silent carriage.

Then the pretty face of the girl Pearl became extremely red, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover her stomach, only to find that the gurgling sound could not be stopped at all, and was still ringing continuously, which made Pearl extremely embarrassed to lower her head, with a face full of embarrassment. Shame.

"It seems that little pearl is hungry, Liang Po, talk to the people outside, and say to find a restaurant to eat something first."

"Your Majesty, I, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

After Pearl's stammering voice fell, Zhao Yu, who was sitting in the carriage flipping through a stack of files, did not raise his head, and spoke in a calm voice:

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm just taking a stroll here in Nancheng. There are a lot of people in this restaurant, and I happen to have a lot of experience, so I'll go and have a look at the largest restaurant in Nancheng."

"No, Your Majesty."

Liang Po's burly body was sitting at the door of the carriage. After agreeing, he lifted the curtain and gestured lightly towards the outside of the carriage. Afterwards, the carriage where everyone was sitting turned to the south side with the most restaurants in Tianmenguan South City at an extremely smooth angle.

At this time, driving the carriage in front was Si Tianjian's commander in chief at Tianmen Pass. He knew everything about Tianmen Pass very well, so he went straight to the largest restaurant in the entire southern city.
