Yangzhou has been a rich place since ancient times. The Bai family has been an imperial merchant for many years, and they are so rich that it is unrealistic not to be approached.

Although Bai Xia tried to keep a low profile after Bai Yan's death, and dispersed his business in various places, but the business in Yangzhou alone has reached the level of wealth beyond rivals.

The accumulation of the Bai family over the past few generations, coupled with his fairy-like craftsmanship over the years, the Bai family has almost reached its peak in his hands

He also has industries in the Western Regions and overseas, and now he is on the right track.

These are all hidden as much as possible, for fear that one day they will be found in trouble and there will be a way out.

Others don't know how rich his Bai family is, but Bai Xia knows it very well.

In the current situation, it is impossible to transfer a large amount of property, so we have to reluctantly part with each other.

Paying attention to the situation, he has done a good job at several ends. If any regime gets Yangzhou, he will dare to go up and send money at the first time.

Lower your posture first, even if you are a barbarian, you will not reach out to hit the smiling face. His posture is here, and if he turns around a few times, he will not be too miserable.

The turmoil in the world was caused by the prince seizing the throne. Back then, the second prince was defeated, and the third prince took the throne. He reigned for many years, and the prince naturally inherited the throne, but the sons were not convinced, and hid in the court. A few years ago, His Majesty was in poor health, and it got worse one after another. Then it was said that he was killed by his own son.

This has reached the level of killing the father, and he didn't even cover it well, so of course it became a mess.

Bai Xia's uncles and peers were all fighting for the world. When Bai Xia and He Yan separated, the royal family in the court had no time to take care of him, a sick child, and they were all busy with power.

Of course, he paid attention this time not for power, but because of his money.

Bai Xia has no soldiers and horses, only money, like a big piece of fat meat, ready to be slaughtered.

Very bullying.

So he took the initiative, estimated the forces of all parties, waited for people to come to Yangzhou, and drove them away to give money to others.

The most advanced person in Yangzhou is the crown prince, who is now called the King of Liang. He has a direct lineage in his hands and is very powerful.

Bai Xia stared at him, and went to see him as soon as he entered Yangzhou.

King Liang was about to spend money, when the young master of the Bai family came to see him, he was almost sleepy and came to give him a pillow.

The merchants are all soft-witted people, they are always looking for money, and what they get is the royal family's money. In the eyes of King Liang, the Bai family's money is his money.

Now he is even weaker and can be bullied. As soon as he entered Yangzhou, Bai Xia quickly handed over the letter.

It is said that Bai Xia is a sick child, he may die one day, and the family property will fall into other people's hands after death, don't waste it.

It was a sunny day.

It's the time of spring.

The spring day in Yangzhou is very beautiful, and the city is full of flowers.

Bai Xia is not an important person in King Liang's heart, and he is not in the main hall, but in the side hall.

Liang Wang was looking at the map of Yangzhou in the side hall, and when he heard that Bai Xia was coming, he didn't even lift his eyes.

The door was open when entering, and a gray cloth curtain was hung on it, half-hanging in the air. If people entered, they would have to raise the curtain first.

When Bai Xia came, King Liang didn't look up.

But I heard a very kind address.

"Brother Prince."

There was a gentle smile in that voice, like an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and like a junior or younger brother who was always by his side, King Liang couldn't help but raise his head.

I saw the door curtain gently lifted.

First, the snow-white jade hands lightly touched the curtain, before he had time to marvel at what kind of hands they were, he saw Bai Xia walking in with a smile on his face.

At this moment, several people in the room were stunned.

The sick young master of the Bai family is actually a stunning beauty.

Dressed in ice-coloured blue, like a young man who doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, he came over with a smile, and he was already very likable without saying a word.

He still shouted "Brother Prince" in his mouth.

If it is counted, there is a lot of relationship involved, King Liang is Bai Xia's cousin, it is understandable that Bai Xia wants to call "brother", but King Liang has a noble status, how can a small businessman get involved.

And "Prince" is his old name, and it has been a long time since he called it that way.

He didn't like other people yelling like that before, as if the old man on top of him was not dead.

Although Bai Xia yelled like this, he did a good job of etiquette, he had to kneel and worship when he went up, his body was sick, as if it was difficult to walk a few steps, as if he would faint if he knelt down.

Before Bai Xia knelt down, King Liang hurried to help him up.

Just drag the person lightly, and the person gets up, gently, softly, and accidentally touches the hand.

Cold and soft, as delicate as jade pieces.

Just touching it makes my whole body crumble.

Liang Wang stared blankly, and it took him a long time to react.

"Sit down, Xia Xia, sit down..."

Bai Xia couldn't stop trying to evade, and said some things about the scene, but finally couldn't shirk, so he sat on the chair. Liang Wang was originally sitting high and high, but after a while, he sat next to Bai Xia. The two separated a tea table, eagerly Talking about it, it's homely.

"Since I was young, I wanted to go to Beijing to see you. I wanted to see the heroic appearance of the prince's brother. It's just that my status is low, and I have no chance to see you when I go to Beijing. And this body has been dragging me. It is difficult to leave Yangzhou for 20 years. I take too much medicine every day, like a medicine jar, I'm afraid that the past will smoke the nobleman."

King Liang moved closer, and he smelled a medicinal smell on Bai Xia's body.

The smell of the medicine was unusual and very fragrant.

No matter how powerful a perfumer is, he can't make such a good smell. Just staying by his side is very comfortable. If he says a word or two, all three souls and six souls will be hooked by him.

Fragile and beautiful, every word is pitiful. Seeing him coughing several times, King Liang couldn't help but add hot tea for him.

"Drink more hot tea, the weather is cold... Come and get some charcoal fire."

He saw Bai Xia's hand gently resting on the table, without thinking about it, he had already held his hand in the palm of his hand.

Bai Xia lowered her eyes lightly, and saw King Liang's big hands wrapped tightly around his hands, rubbing them together as if to warm his hands.

The calluses in his hand almost hurt him.

Seeing that Bai Xia's face was still pale, King Liang asked for his fur coat to be brought up again. The fur coat was very clean and had no smell, but it was worn by King Liang.

It was so hot that she put it on for Bai Xia, made tea over the charcoal fire, and seemed to have a long conversation with Bai Xia.

After talking for a long time, we finally got to the point.

Bai Xia said: "I'm afraid that the prince's elder brother will lack military rations for the war, so I have stockpiled [-] dan of grain and grass, and specially sent it to the prince's elder brother."

As he said that, he coughed violently, as if his heart and lungs had been coughed out, his cheeks were abnormally flushed, his eyes were a little wet, and a part of his wrist was outside, protruding from the wide sleeve robe, looking pitiful Extremely.

Liang Wang hurriedly went to see him, and shouted eagerly, "Come here! Doctor please come!"

Bai Xia's beautiful eyes were red, and she was still laughing when she saw her, "Brother Prince, don't worry, this is an old problem, just go back and take some medicine, what matters now is your world affairs...Bai Mou You are a grassroots person, you have a noble status, but you have to worry about me, it's really..."

He said it as if he was moved to tears.

I was already thinking in my heart to let me go back quickly, it really didn't feel like staying here for a moment.

But he didn't expect Liang Wang to let him live.

"Brother, there are many doctors here who can treat you. Don't worry, I will cure you."

Bai Xia was about to vomit blood, but King Liang actually detained him!

In this way, he spent several days in the Prince Liang's mansion for treatment, but the treatment got worse and worse, and Bai Xia couldn't get out of bed anymore.

Liang Wang was furious and asked the doctor what the disease was.

The doctor was talking about vague illnesses like "bringing in the womb", "overthinking", and so on.

King Liang went to see him almost every day, "Don't think too much about Xia Xia, treat your illness well."

Bai Xia's brows could not be stretched, and she looked at King Liang with worry in her eyes, "I was afraid of delaying the big business of the prince, and I wanted to do my best to spend my family wealth to help the prince, but now that I am in such a poor health, not only my body I have no time to transport money, food and grass, and I have delayed the time of the prince's elder brother..."

But Bai Xia thought in his heart, King Liang is really greedy, how much more will he need if he is not satisfied with one hundred thousand dans of food and grass?

He had no choice but to say the words "spread away the family wealth", but Liang Wang didn't let go at all.

"You are so worried about me..." King Liang was deeply moved, and coaxed gently, "Don't worry, I have nothing serious to do. I have some strong generals under my command, and the most important thing now is you..."

Bai Xia frowned and did not relax. He is now completely under house arrest, and he can only see King Liang almost every day, and he can't even spread the news.

He didn't know the current situation of the Bai family. Did these traitors go to his house to ransack it?

So more and more worried.

He didn't know that almost all the big and small merchants in Yangzhou City paid "taxes", and the Bai family was the only one left out.

………………

King Liang came late that day. It is said that his general had returned from a great victory, and he was going to reward him.

This is the reliance of King Liang's victory all the way. Leading soldiers and horses is simply a must. He has real skills and is good at attacking. Now he is quite famous in the troubled times.

The military called him "Iron Face Shura".

Taciturn, cold, not smiling, with a terrifying aura.

With him, King Liang is almost sure of winning.

There was no drink for the reward that day, and after a while, King Liang said that he had to leave first.

When King Liang left, his aides were afraid that the general would not like it, so they hurriedly said, "General He, there is a sick person at King Liang's house, and he needs to go back to take care of him."

He Yan nodded, he understood very well.

But where did the sick come from Liang Wang's family?

After the dinner, someone whispered to He Yan.

"The king of Liang recently got a stunning beauty, who fascinated him so much that he spent most of the day in that beauty's house. It's really a critical moment. The king of Liang listens to you the most, why don't you go and persuade her?" advise……………"

He Yan didn't care about King Liang and he didn't have any beauties, so he didn't want to inquire about such private matters at all.

I'm just worried that the situation is so complicated now, how could King Liang suddenly get a beauty at such a critical moment?

Could it be the work of the enemy.

After observing like this for a few days, I saw that King Liang was really fascinated by the beauty as he said. He didn't do business for a day, and once he went to the man's house, he spent most of the day. .

That night, He Yan had a dinner at Prince Liang's Mansion, and stayed overnight at Prince Liang's Mansion.

He was eating outside, and walked to Dongyuan without knowing it.

Dongyuan is the yard of the beauty raised by King Liang. He sometimes guards here for a few days, to see how long King Liang will go to that house, and judge whether King Liang is the Ming Lord.

Throughout the ages, most of the kings who are addicted to beauty are faint kings.

It's the same today, I was just walking casually, but suddenly I saw that the brightly lit Dongyuan became lively.

After a while, I saw the servant girl coming out of the yard, walking ahead as if opening the way.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Liang Wang holding a person in his hand.

Wrapped in fox fur in spring, wrapped in a soft blanket.

The black hair was fluffy, with a few strands hanging down, pouring down from between King Liang's fingers, and his snow-white slender wrists protruding from the wide sleeves.

Slender and beautiful, you can tell that he is a beauty just by looking at his hands.

He Yan stared at that hand.

The beauty was held in King Liang's arms, her face was invisible, only her thin shoulders and thin wrists were seen, leaning against King Liang's arms, as if she had been do something just now, weak and weak, she could only be seen man holding.

When he passed by He Yan, he suddenly smelled a fragrance.

He opened his eyes wide, took a few steps forward hastily, and followed the pace of King Liang.

Finally, he saw half a beautiful face in King Liang's arms.

That was Bai Xia.
