Chen Da didn't understand Li Feng's arrangement, and Li Feng didn't explain to him that he was the boss, not the teacher.

"You follow my arrangements, let passing vendors advertise our prices, and escort them safely to the pass."

"What if Taoist Master Qingfeng comes down to intercept and kill him?"

"What do you think?"

Chen Da suddenly realized: "They rob the way, we protect the way, but we can't defeat them."

Li Feng covered his forehead helplessly. He should find a few smart people as his subordinates, otherwise it would be too tiring to explain to them all the time.

"If you can't beat them, just run away with the merchants. The goods can be lost, but the merchants' lives must be guaranteed. And you promise them that if the goods or money are robbed under your protection, we will be responsible for all losses."

Chen Da seemed to understand, but he always felt that they were at a disadvantage.

After Li Feng finished his instructions, he took the people back to Youzhou City. He modified the set of future generations insurance and brought it over for use, which could greatly win over the hearts and minds of passing merchants.

As long as we get their help and unite them, let alone Qingfeng Taoist's few troops, it will be useless even if Liang Feiyang personally leads his troops.

The development of Youzhou City is proceeding in an orderly manner according to Li Feng's plan, but what happens in the capital is beyond Li Feng's control.

The censor Li Rui sent to Youzhou to patrol the city has returned and reported to Li Rui the changes he has observed in Youzhou these days.

This patrolling censor was unreliable, not from Zhao Yan, and had nothing to do with any of the princes. He was a little transparent in the court, so Li Ruicai secretly asked him to check it out, just to know the truest truth about Youzhou.

Case.

After the city patrol censor finished his report, Li Rui's expression became very complicated. His eldest son would really surprise him.

After hearing what Li Feng had done, Li Rui didn't know what to do with him.

When the bandits attacked the city, he mobilized the people to successfully defend it, which was a great achievement. Moreover, during the Youzhou defense war, Li Feng's methods were extremely brilliant and can be regarded as a model.

Later, in order to prevent the victims from causing trouble, Li Feng set an example and ate and lived with the people. This move made Li Rui applaud.

But later, when Li Rui heard that Li Feng had incorporated the bandit army, formed a Youzhou garrison of 5,000 people, and trained them, Li Rui almost sent troops to conquer.

The vassal king can control a certain amount of military power outside the country, but it must not exceed the limit, otherwise there will be the possibility of rebellion. This is the accumulated experience of past dynasties, and Daqian has a precedent of vassal kings causing rebellion.

Therefore, Li Rui was extremely sensitive in this regard, but his eldest son actually did such a thing, which made Li Rui nervous and suspected that the rebellious son wanted to rebel.

When Li Rui heard that Li Feng was carrying out extensive construction work to build Youwang Palace, as well as bathhouses, playgrounds and other things, Li Rui was already sure in his heart that the rebellious son definitely wanted to rebel.

The censor patrolling the city knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Li Rui's expression.

After waiting for a long time, Li Rui asked: "Do you think there is a possibility that King You will rebel?"

The censor patrolling the city trembled and almost peed in fear. He couldn't answer this. If he said no, if King You rebelled, his whole family would be implicated.

But if you say that you will rebel, but King You doesn't make any move, then you are trying to manipulate the relationship between your majesty and his son, which is also a fatal thing.

"Say it."

The censor who patrolled the city had trouble to express, and he hesitated for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, I dare not say for sure. But the lives of the people in Youzhou City have indeed improved a lot, changing the situation of the previous drought."

"You mean, King You is very popular among the people in Youzhou?"

The censor patrolling the city wanted to slap himself in the mouth. What the king fears most is that the people below him will win the hearts of the people. He is pushing King You under the guillotine.

"Your Majesty, what I want to say is... you call His Highness Prince You and ask, then everything will be clear."

Li Ruixin was right. It was just a good time to test whether the traitor had any antagonism. If so, he would definitely shirk the blame and not dare to come over. If not, he would definitely come back happily.

"Preparing an edict, King Xuanyou returns to the capital."

A decree was quickly written and sent directly from the inn.

According to the decrees of the Qian Dynasty, an imperial edict needs to be drafted by the Shangshu Province, reviewed by the Zhongshu Province, and promulgated by the Menxia Province.

But recalling King You is a private matter for the emperor. You can directly notify King You without going through the three provinces. This is a bit like an old father sending a text message to his son, son, please go home quickly for dinner.

Li Rui's decree was conveyed, and he waved his hand for the censor to go down.

The censor patrolling the city suddenly stopped when he reached the door, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I just missed something."

"What's the matter?"

"During the severe drought in Youzhou, King You once sent people to the south to buy grain, but it is said that the food guard team was all killed and the grain was not transported to Youzhou."

Li Rui frowned: "Is there such a thing? Are there such bold bandits along the way?"

"I don't know much about this matter. You can ask King You again when he comes."

After the censor patrolling the city stepped back, he stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his back. It was really killing him.

In the empty hall, only Li Rui was sitting on the dragon chair, tapping the table with his hands.

Suddenly he said: "Contact your master and ask him what he thinks of Li Feng."

A very slight yes came from the darkness, and then disappeared into darkness again.

"Li Feng, what do you want to do?"

Li Rui muttered to himself, his eyes seemed to see Li Feng in Youzhou through space.

Li Feng, who had returned to Youzhou City, suddenly sneezed: "Why do I feel like someone is scolding me?"

"The temperature has dropped recently. Your Majesty, the wind must be blowing."

Li Feng didn't care. When he returned to the palace, it was completely dark. He broke his promise to do morning exercises with Su Mei, but he could still do night exercises in the evening.

Li Feng chuckled, handed the reins to the guard, and returned home excitedly to fight Su Mei for three hundred rounds.

Li Feng stepped into the threshold of the palace with one foot, but the other could not get in. It was not that Li Feng did not want to return to the palace, but that the long sword around his neck did not allow him to take another step forward.

The person standing by the door with a sword against Li Feng's neck was none other than Wen Xue, who had left and returned.

When the guards saw that Li Feng was being held hostage, they all drew their swords and pointed them at Wen Xue.

"Let the prince go quickly, or we will kill all nine of your clans."

Wen Xue looked unkind, and the sword edge was pressed down a little.

Li Feng shouted quickly: "What are you doing? Can your broken blades do anything to Nuxia Wen? Put your knives away and get out. Nuxia Wen is just testing my martial arts."

The guards looked at each other, but still put away their knives.

After the guards all exited the palace, Wen Xue closed the door with a wave of his hand, and then reached into Li Feng's arms to feel around.

Without the sword around his neck, Li Feng could have taken advantage of Wen Xue, but now he didn't have the guts.

Wen Xue fumbled in Li Feng's arms for a while, then withdrew empty-handed and asked, "Where is the jade pendant?"

"I went out today and didn't bring it with me. I asked the heroine what I wanted for the jade pendant. Could it be that I was short of money and spent it? I'll go to the warehouse to get some silver for you."

Wen Xue snorted coldly and threw her jade pendant to Li Feng: "Bring your jade pendant."

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Li Feng was dumbfounded. What's going on with this girl? I've heard of rape, but I've never heard of forced disciples.

"Nvxia Wen?"
