  The name of Shangguo Kingdom is Shangcheng. The name of the city is derived from the name of the country. However, the people in the southern border are not called Shangcheng, they are only called Lake City.

   The reason is that Shang Guoguo is located in the middle of the largest lake in the southern border.

  Zhou Ran went to the capital of Shang Guo, also by boat.

   came under the wall, and an old man immediately greeted him.

   is none other than Jia Jiagui, the merchant of the royal family.

  Although Zhou Ran’s appearance changed, Jia Gui recognized Zhou Ran and whispered, "Champion, the host asked me to welcome you."

"Ok."

   Zhou Ran said lightly, Jia Gui was so careful, it seems that there should be Jianzong's eyeliner in the lake city?

   "Please follow me!"

  Jia Gui brought Zhou Ran into the Lake City.

  Huzhong City deserves to be the capital of the Shang Kingdom, and its luxury is comparable to the heavenly city of the Western Song Dynasty.

   is not the same as the Tianfeng City built on the water. The lake center island in the lake city is huge. There is no waterway in the city, but it is full of traffic.

   Although Jianzong was overcast, it did not affect the crowds in the city, and there were countless markets.

  Jia Gui brought Zhou Ran into the inner city. As a merchant, Jia Gui has a mansion in the inner city, which shows that he is respected in the country.

  Zhou Ran came to Jia Gui's house and admired the view in the mansion.

  Jia Gui hurriedly said: "Champion Hou, please go to the inner hall to recount, I have prepared wine and food, I hope to drink with the champion Hou until dawn!"

"it is good!"

  Zhou Ran was also unambiguous, so he followed Jia Gui to the inner hall.

   Wine and food have been served, and Zhou Ran and Jia Gui sat down and enjoyed themselves.

   was eating while Jia Gui was talking.

"Sovereign Lord knows you are coming, but this matter is extremely secret and cannot be said to outsiders, so the Lord does not dare to see you. He knows that I am a friend of the champion Hou, so I have been waiting outside the city gate, early tomorrow morning, The Sovereign will meet you one day and meet you alone."

   "So good!"

   Zhou Ran nodded.

  The three countries in the southern border are under the control of Jianzong, and all countries are naturally full of Jianzong ears and eyes.

  Shang Guo Guozhu is cautious and reasonable.

Jia Gui said: "Champion Hou, you are in the Lake City for a day, and I will be responsible for all the food and daily life! What I want to eat and drink, despite the opening! In addition, if the Champ Hou feels empty and lonely, Shang Guo’s beauties can be picked casually. Even the royal princess, I can find you for you!"

"No, thanks!"

   Zhou Ran refused, and the royal merchant was really capable.

  After three tours, Zhou Ran asked again: "Brother Jia, Jianzong seizes the southern border. The masters of the three countries are suffering miserably. Why is Shang Guoguo still prosperous? Isn't everyone's life affected?"

"How could it be?" Jia Gui saw that no one was around, and she began to suffer. "In the past, merchants traded for only 30% of their profits, but after Jianzong came, they had to take 70% of their profits! The merchants were busy for a lifetime, But how did you convince the sword sect to marry clothes? Unfortunately, even the lord did not dare to provoke the sword sect, let alone the local merchants? Thanks to me, Shang Guo, the royal merchant, responsible for purchasing materials for the royal family, the sword sect’s I have also waived the 70% miscellaneous tax, but the other friends are getting harder and harder. Thanks to the initiative of the host, the market in Lake City just barely continued, but in the end it was a false prosperity. It won't last for a few days."

   "It turns out so."

   Zhou Ran's mouth slightly tilted, and the wine in the glass immediately flew out.

  Jia Gui was surprised when he saw this.

   "Champion, what do you mean?"

  Zhou Ran ignored Jia Gui. When Zhenyuan vomited, the wine was like a sword and shot at the wall beside him.

   "Wow!"

   The wall was smashed by the drink, and the person hidden behind the wall was invisible and injured by the drink.

  Zhou Ran stood up and led the man to Jia Gui.

  Jia Gui was dumbfounded at the sight.

   "Jia An, why are you?"

   "Who is this person?" Zhou Ran asked.

   "He is my housekeeper, and has followed me for many years, I did not expect him to overhear the conversation between you and me."

  Zhou Ran looked at the housekeeper and said, "Speak, who sent you?"

Jia An gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "Who else? Of course it is Jianzong! Jianzong is the biggest sect in Southland. All those who violate Jianzong will die without a burial place! I want to live alive, Only by working for Jianzong can I survive!"

  Jia An's words made Jia Gui sad.

   did not expect to have betrayed with the housekeeper for so many years, how can he trust others from now on?

   "Are you really Jianzong's eyes and ears?" Zhou Ran said coldly.

"Yes!"

  Jia An is decisive, without any hesitation.

   "Since that is the case, go to die!"

   said, Zhou Ran waved his palm and was about to take a hard shot, but Jia An suddenly fell to the ground.

  Look again, the Jia family steward has spit foam, and is motionless.

Seeing this, Jia Gui couldn't help but feel frustrated and said, "I didn't expect my housekeeper to also play for Jianzong. Champion, thank you for cleaning the portal for Jia's family!"

   "You are wrong, I did not kill him." Zhou Ran shook his head.

   "You didn't kill him? How did he die?" Jia Gui wondered.

   "If I didn't guess wrong, his body should be poisoned, and once the trail is exposed, he will be poisoned and killed!"

  Jia Gui pulls his fist fiercely~www.novelhall.com~A good sword sect, using others as his eyes and ears, but he does not even give a chance to live! Once it fails, it will be ruined! "

"You're wrong again!" Zhou Ran smiled, "This guy was not sent by Jianzong. If so, how could he shake Jianzong out at once? Besides, I don't think a merchant is worth it. Jianzong sent eyeliners to monitor."

   Zhou Ran's words made Jia Gui silent.

  If Jianzong really did not do these things, who is the initiator behind the scenes?

  Jia Gui wanted to ask in detail, but Zhou Ran said it all.

  Zhou Ran returned to the table and continued to drink and eat meat. Jia Gui was confused, but he could not neglect the guests, and began to drink with Zhou Ran.

   The two had been drinking until midnight, and then they lay down with their clothes together.

   Early the next morning, Jia Gui quietly took Zhou Ran into the palace.

   Due to the strike of the sovereign, the palace of King Shang was extremely quiet, except for the palace and guards, and no other people.

  The carriage driver drove straight in and drove straight into the palace of the sovereign, and then stopped.

   There is not even one person in the palace. Jia Gui was careful to let Zhou Ran get out of the carriage and took Zhou Ran into the bedroom of the sovereign.

  Shang Guo Guo Xiang Xiang Shang has been waiting for a long time, see Zhou Ran came, and suddenly smiled.

   "Championship, we meet again."

   Zhou Ran canceled the disguise on his face, revealing his true colors.

   "Master of the country, after I received your book of honor, I rushed nonstop."
