Traveling through troubled times, he fled with his stepson

When Li Yuan and Cheng Feiyue entered, they covered their faces with something.

Cheng Feiyue insisted on leading the way: "Follow closely, it's easy to get lost here."

This is what they said, but people are heading in a different direction.

Li Yuan gently reached out his hand and pulled the person, then walked around skillfully, finally arriving at a door and knocked.

While waiting, Li Yuan turned around and told Cheng Feiyue: "No matter what you see later, stay quiet and don't say anything. If you have any questions, ask them when you get back."

Before Cheng Feiyue could reply, the door opened.

The person who opened the door was still the same person from last time. Li Yuan had changed a lot and didn't recognize him for a moment. "Who introduced you all..."

"I."

Li Yuan took off his veil. The man who opened the door opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then quickly pulled the two of them in.

"Master Wan!"

"you…"

The man looked carefully, and then looked at the person Li Yuan brought over, "This is..."

"Don't worry, the people Mr. Wan wants to see are all our own people."

After hearing what Li Yuan said, the man felt relieved and took the two people without going in. Instead, he turned in another direction and walked towards another room.

It was the dark room before.

"Mr. Wan just came back not long ago, he is inside."

After saying this, the man bowed and left.

Cheng Feiyue looked very conflicted and confused, but he kept it to himself in accordance with what Li Yuan had said before.

"I'll take you to meet someone."

Li Yuan said as he stretched out his hand and pushed the wooden door open. The door creaked open.

"Who?!"

Someone immediately walked to the door, "Master Wan, it's me, Wan Qi."

Li Yuan spoke, and the guard who came to the door looked at Li Yuan carefully. After confirming his identity, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Young master, you are going to scare me to death."

"Master, the young master is here."

There was a noise from inside, and two people came out soon.

"Manager Ma, Master Wan." Li Yuan clasped his hands together and saluted. Seeing this, Cheng Feiyue beside him followed suit.

"I didn't expect you to come here. We are really lucky. It's a rare opportunity for us to catch up with you."

The person who spoke was a somewhat plump man. He paced over and spoke with a smile on his face.

"It was a coincidence. I brought someone here to see him, but I didn't expect to run into Master Wan."

When Master Wan heard what Li Yuan said, he looked over, only glancing at him, and then looked at him carefully: "Oh, this guy looks familiar."

"Mr. Wan might have seen it before." Li Yuan said, pointing at Cheng Feiyue and lip-syncing silently.

City Lord.

Wan Ye raised his eyebrows when he understood, then his face relaxed: "I didn't expect you to be such a talented young man. Come on, come on, please take a seat."

Then he asked people to sit down.

Shopkeeper Ma knew it was inconvenient to call for help, so he simply poured tea for them himself.

"My name is Wan Ye, and this is my friend, Shopkeeper Ma. If you're bored in the future, you can come over and have a look."

Cheng Feiyue nodded: "Master Wan, Shopkeeper Ma, please give me more guidance in the future."

Since he was here, some things were difficult to discuss. After everyone chatted for a while, Shopkeeper Ma suddenly said, "I wonder if you have ever visited our place. Let's take a look together?"

Cheng Feiyue, who was invited, naturally knew that Wan Ye had something to say to Li Yuan, and nodded in agreement.

After the two men left, Li Yuan brought up the topic: "Master Wan went out on business and came back a little late this time."

Wan Ye's face darkened after hearing these words. He thought of something and said to Li Yuan in an unrecognizable tone, "I almost died."

Li Yuan looked at Wan Ye, whom he had come into contact with by chance. The two had known each other for several years and Li Yuan knew that Wan Ye was an unusual businessman.

He has means and business connections all over the place, and he can get along with everyone.

He was very sharp in doing things, but he almost died.

"But what happened?"

Li Yuan asked the question, and Wan Ye met Li Yuan's gaze because of this question.

When I first met this guy, I almost didn't recognize him as the original one.

There was no change in appearance, except for his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He had grown a lot taller, and most importantly, his temperament was very different from before.

Wan Ye had observed Li Yuan for a long time.

I understand how powerful and patient this kid is, and I know that he will be a hidden dragon in the abyss in the future, and one day he will soar into the sky.

So he got together with this boy early on and became his friend.

"Do you know where I'm going this time?" Wan Ye asked, and without waiting for Li Yuan to answer, he answered first: "The capital."

"I have a few businesses there too. I'll go over and inspect them."

"only……"

"The capital has undergone a drastic change. I heard that the emperor is seriously ill and all seven princes have been summoned to the palace. The entire capital is like an iron barrel, with a murderous aura lingering above."

Li Yuan's face changed.

I had heard that the emperor's health was getting worse day by day, but he managed to hold on for two or three years. I thought there was still some peace, but it turned out to be the end?

"The fight for the throne was brutal, involving many forces, and the capital was in a bloodbath. I ordered the closure of the shops until everything stabilizes."

"Master Wan, how long did it take you to get here from the capital?"

Wan Ye replied: "Because of the fast horse, more than half a month."

"Okay, thank you Master Wan for telling me about today's matter. I will take my leave first and make some preparations."

"Okay, it's better to be prepared."

"Oh, Master Wan, you should get rid of all the shops you can as soon as possible during this period. If you want to make a mess, I'm afraid it will be a big mess."

Hearing his reminder, Wan Ye's originally hesitant heart immediately became alert, "Okay, be careful."

When the two men finished their conversation and came out, Shopkeeper Ma also came over with Cheng Feiyue. The two parties bumped into each other, said goodbye and left.

After coming out of the slum, Cheng Feiyue didn't even have time to ask the questions that were lingering in his mind, before he saw Li Yuan's face becoming increasingly gloomy.

"But what happened?"

Cheng Feiyue asked.

"Is Uncle Cheng at home today?"

"Yes." Cheng Feiyue thought for a moment and replied, "He had nothing to do today and said he wanted to accompany my mother, so I was kicked out."

Li Yuan nodded.

"Remember this place. If you need anything in the future, the shopkeeper inside will help you."

Hearing this, Cheng Feiyue turned around and said, "There are so many contraband items in this place. Do you have a close relationship with this place?"

"Other things are fine, but there are people selling salt illegally here!"

As if he could no longer bear his noise, Li Yuan stopped to see if there was anyone around, and then said, "The private salt here has the approval of your mother and father."

"What?!" Cheng Feiyue screamed, then quickly covered his mouth, his face full of disbelief.

Li Yuan didn't have time to talk to him and walked quickly towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Ling Zizheng, who was strolling alone, saw them and quickly found a place to hide. Then he looked towards the place where they came from after the people left.

slums.

Thinking of how Li Yuan brought a stunningly beautiful woman in through here two years ago, he couldn't help but squint at that place.

Here again, is there something inside?
