In the early morning, Li Yan was awakened by a gentle knock on the door. Yesterday, I suddenly became addicted to watching TV. I stayed up until midnight. I was too lazy to get up in the morning. At this time, he looked at his watch, but he didn't expect it was already nine o'clock.

When the door was opened, it was Liu Yanyu. Li Yan could only hear the whisper: "Your Highness, we are at Jiangling Wharf. Captain Wu asked me to ask Your Highness if your Highness is planning to go to the wharf for dinner, or if the guards bring it back to Your Highness."

"You arrived in Jiangling so quickly?" Li Yan was a little surprised. Although he knew that the speed of this yacht was very fast, it was too fast. The distance between Jiangling and Yizhou was about a thousand miles, and it arrived in twenty hours. At this speed, it only took two or three days to reach Ryukyu. This yacht really didn't lose money. Li Yan thought so. After all, time is life.

"This is only half the speed. Because we are worried that we will encounter danger when driving in the river, we only control the speed of the yacht at half. When we reach the sea, we can sail without any obstacles." At this time, Li Ran's voice came.

Li Yan was speechless when he heard this. Sure enough, technology is the king.

"Go to the pier to eat!" Li Yan made a decision. From the time of the Tang Dynasty, his life circle had always been on the route from Chang'an to Yizhou. At this time, he wanted to see what other places looked like. Moreover, Jiangling Wharf was also one of the most prosperous piers on the Yangtze River transportation line.

Putting on ordinary clothes, Li Yan dressed himself up like a scholar, took Liu Yanyu and Li Ran out of the cabin. Like Nanhe Wharf, they had just docked at the wharf, and there were many people around him, looking at the fleet of six yachts as if they saw monsters.

Seeing Li Yan coming out, the guards immediately contacted Li Yan through walkie-talkie to form a tight protection network to protect Li Yan. The guards in the front row went to the dock and began to disperse the crowds on the dock. At this time, Li Yan began to regret it again, but compared to the time saved, the embarrassment of being watched by people does not matter. Besides, what they really are the yachts, not the few of them.

Under the protection of the guards, the whole picture of Jiangling Wharf appeared in front of Li Yan. As the merchants in Yizhou said, the prosperity of this Jiangling Wharf is not inferior to that of Yizhou. As a transit station between Yizhou and Yangzhou, Jiangling Wharf's business mainly focuses on food, accommodation and warehousing, because many merchants choose to hand over goods, eat, and accommodation here, and then set out on the road the next day. Li Yan and the guards only walked a short distance and passed many residential buildings.

“殿下,我打听过了,这里最出名的酒楼叫玉箫楼,距离这么不远,而且据说我们益州的菜色那里都有,使用的材料也是都是从益州的那边买过来的,殿下不如就去那里吃吧.”武威离开一会儿很快就回来了,却是去打听消息去了.

"Okay, then go to Yuxiaolou!" These foods that the guards had like the royal palace on weekdays, but they were not used to eating the same food as before.

Wu Wei heard this and said, "Then your Highness wait, I will go to the restaurant to book a seat now. It is said that the business there is very good, and people who eat every day can't squeeze in."

Li Yan nodded. Although the single room of the speedboat was very comfortable, he was very frustrated when staying inside all day long. Now he could go around and get some breath when he came out. So he took Liu Yanyu to walk around Jiangling Wharf casually, while enjoying the beautiful scenery here.

"Your Highness, the Jiangling Wharf is prosperous, but I always feel that it is a little different from the Nanhe Wharf. I can't tell you what it is. It's really strange." Liu Yanyu's eyes searched everywhere after getting off the pier. She had been sold to Yizhou from Silla. She had been staying in the boat and had never seen the scenery along the road. When she was in Yizhou, she just stayed in the palace and had never been to other places. But she still had a deep impression of her glance at Nanhe Wharf. She said after comparing with Jiangling Wharf.

Li Yan's eyes passed by the dock workers who were sweating, ragged and had a sad look on his face. He said, "Although this place is prosperous, the people are very poor. They can't earn a few cents a day after working hard, and they are exploited by the government and bullies from the dock bullies." Li Yan's eyes finally stopped on a dock carrying contractor who was really beaten by Wuhou of Jiangling.

Following Li Yan's gaze, Liu Yanyu showed a sympathetic look, as if she was thinking about something. Her eyes were slightly red and she said, "Your Highness, can we go and help that person?"

"Why? All such people here are like this, we can't help them all." Li Yan looked at Liu Yan in confusion.

"This reminds me of my father. He also works as a contractor on the dock. In order to support our family, his waist was deformed and it was unbearable for the night." Liu Yanyu said sadly.

Since he came to the palace, Liu Yanyu has never revealed his life experience. Unexpectedly, he has opened his heart today, "Then how did you get sold to the Tang Dynasty?" Li Yan continued to ask.

"Because of long-term work, my father's waist still had problems, but for the sake of his livelihood, he secretly went to the dock without hiding it. We didn't know what was going on. My mother later invited a doctor for the disease, but the doctor said he wanted a lot of money to treat it, and after the treatment was cured, I couldn't continue to do such heavy work. In order to treat my father's illness, I went to find human traffickers, because it is said that Silla maids are very popular in the Tang Dynasty, so I..." Speaking of this, Liu Yanyu burst into tears.

Another poor person, the saying that it is not nonsense to be a peaceful dog rather than a troubled person. In such an era, life is really worthless. "So that's it. Don't cry. Maybe you can go back to Silla to see your father in the future!"

"Really!" Liu Yanyu, who was sobbing softly, raised her head suddenly, then lowered her head dejectedly, and said, "Your Highness must be joking with me."

Li Yan said seriously: "I am not kidding. Now our Yizhou fleet is rampant on the sea. You can go there. Maybe I will go to Silla to meet your queen! Then you can go home to visit relatives." Li Yan smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Hearing this, Liu Yanyu showed an excited look and couldn't help but grab Li Yan's hand: "Please go to Silla!"

Li Yan was stunned, feeling the girl's smooth skin, and his heart swayed. Looking at Liu Yanyu and Lin Yuner's faces, he couldn't help but sigh: "This girl is really beautiful!"

As if he felt something wrong, Liu Yanyu took her hand back, her heart pounding, her face covered with red glow, and her charming and charming.

At this embarrassing moment, the people who were beaten by Wuhou suddenly screamed. It turned out that Wuhou actually pulled out a knife and stabbed the people in the leg. When he arrived here, Li Yan finally couldn't bear it anymore. After that, he also had a moral standard in his heart. After this level, he could not ignore it.

"Stop!" Li Yan shouted when the Marquis of Wu was still about to stab the second sword.

This powerful shout shocked everyone on the dock. This Wuhou was a first-class bully on the dock. Later, he spent money to put on his official uniform and was even more lawless here. He specially charged the protection fee for the contracted workers at these docks. As long as he said he would not pay, he would be punching and kicking, and no one dared to mess with him.

Hearing this voice, the Marquis of Wu turned his head and showed a fierce face. No one here dared to talk to him like this. He looked at Li Yan and then at the dozens of guards beside Li Yan. Finally, his eyes remained on Liu Yanyu, and suddenly showed a trace of lewd expression. He said, "Mr., when you see that you are a wealthy family, why bother with this dog slave? No one who is good at meddling in this dock will end up with no good ending." Facing the dozens of guards behind Li Yan, he was completely fearless.

This is a tough character, Li Yan thought, he couldn't see any fear in the eyes of this bully, and his evil temper suddenly came up, and he said, "If I have to worry, you can get the book... how about me?"

He sneered coldly and bullied: "Do you know who I am? Don't think you have the final say here with a few guards. If you annoy me, you will not think of leaving the dock." He thought that Li Yan was just a business trip in the past.

"Bold!" As soon as he finished speaking, the guards beside Li Yan couldn't help it and drew their swords and sheathed them. As long as the bully said another word, the horizontal sword would be bloody.

The bully's face suddenly became gloomy and he felt a little uneasy. These guards were too fierce. They were definitely not the guards brought by ordinary businessmen. He had been staying at the dock for more than ten years without any wink.

"Okay! I'll bypass him this untouchable!" The bully slowly retreated. He believed that if he continued to collide with this young man in Chinese clothing, these guards would definitely kill him mercilessly.

When the bully with the identity of Wuhou left, Li Yan checked the injuries of the contracted worker and asked the guards to withdraw 200 cents for him to go back to see the injuries. It was not that Li Yan was stingy, giving him too much money would only cause him greater trouble, just stop at the right time.

After experiencing this incident, Li Yan was in a very unhappy mood. At this time, Wu Wei rushed over and said that he had already booked the restaurant and asked Li Yan to have a meal.

Li Yan thought to eat early and leave early. After all, this place was not Yizhou, so he would not be troubled, so he followed Wuwei and walked inside. On the way, Wuwei learned about what was happening on the dock and was extremely angry, saying that as long as he was going to make the bully suffer, Li Yan just shook his head and said nothing.

After a while, the group arrived at this Yuxiao Building, which is known as the most luxurious in Jiangling City. Li Yan looked inside and found that there were indeed many merchants. However, when Li Yan saw a pair of poems on both sides of the restaurant, he was stunned!
