Everlasting prosperity

After leaving Xi Yuzhou, Ji Anjun and others drove their horses to Yuezhou.Yuezhou is located in the territory of Dawu, close to Xizhou in the territory of Jiuzhao Kingdom. There is a group of mountains on its border, the highest one is called Qishan.

This place is different from Bainiao and Fengming.It is surrounded by mountains, surrounded by high mountains, and in the middle is a clear lake, which is in the shape of a basin.Surrounded by large and small peaks nearby, some are sharp and protruding, some are clumsy and standing, and some have strange shapes, but they have a unique style.

Qishan is located to the west of the lake, like an emperor, overlooking the mountains, standing majestically.According to legend, when Wu was still a vassal state, the then king of Wu met his concubine here, so he named it Qishan, and named it after his title, King Qi.

"Master, there is a boat over there, let's cross it." Xun Lan pointed to the boat not far away, and said to Ji Anjun.

Ji Anjun looked in the direction of her finger and nodded in agreement.

When the boatman saw three people in extraordinary clothes approaching him, he felt happy and asked in a loud voice, "Take a boat!"

"Old man, let's go to Xizhou, three of us." Xun Lan stepped forward and said politely.

The boatman looked at this young girl with a smile on his face, and liked it, so he replied, "Okay! Get on the boat!"

Hearing this, Xun Lan jumped onto the boat first, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the boat, she turned around and said to Ji Anjun, "Master, let's get on the boat."

After hearing this, Ji Anjun stepped on the stern of the boat, stood still, and carefully boarded the boat.Xiao Yizhi quietly followed behind him.

Xun Lan sat by the side of the boat, looking at the surrounding scenery as if she was walking.The sound of paddles across the water sounded in her ears, as if scratching her heart, thin and warm.

Xiao Yizhi stood at the stern of the boat and looked around quietly.This place is different from Fengming, the field of vision is much wider.

Looking at the person standing at the stern, Ji Anjun slowly walked over, and asked softly, "If one day you go to live in seclusion, would you choose this place, or Fengming?"

Xiao Yizhi glanced at Ji Anjun, then turned his eyes away, looked at the mountains in the distance, and replied, "Where did you come from, and where do you go back."

Ji Anjun, who heard this answer, felt a little sad in his heart, why couldn't he answer and didn't go anywhere?Can't choose to stay by my side?

"What about Yuangan?" Xiao Yizhi asked suddenly.

"Me? I don't know where to stay. I travel around and make my home all over the world." Ji Anjun replied, but his heart was extremely bitter.

"So, very good." Xiao Yizhi nodded, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a light smile.

He thought he would say, with you.But, no.

Probably, we are different.

Xun Lan looked at the two people standing at the stern. She saw Ji Anjun's eyes were sour, while Xiao Yizhi's eyes were looking lonely. She didn't know what the two of them said. She only knew that They are in a bad mood right now.

She knew that His Royal Highness cared about Young Master Xiao very much, and he had been carefully watching Young Master Xiao's emotions along the way.For this trip, His Highness wanted to help Young Master Xiao get out of the sadness of family changes, and also to help him get more news from other countries so that he could find out the truth.

But this thought, she became more and more vague. Is what His Highness did for Young Master Xiao, or for himself?

"Are you traveling in Xizhou?" the boatman asked suddenly.

This question broke the silence between the three.

Ji Anjun turned his head and replied, "Yes, look around."

"Let me tell you, when you enter the city, you must be careful! This Jiuzhao Kingdom is arresting people everywhere!" The boatman said nervously.

"Arrest? What happened?" Ji Anjun asked.

A lot of events means a lot of news.

"I heard that Jiuzhao Kingdom has cut off business from our Great Wu. No, no foreign businessmen are allowed to enter Jiuzhao, especially from our Dawu. The road to Xizhou is only our waterway. You guys, be careful." The boatman explained patiently.

"So, thank you for the old man's advice." Ji Anjun clasped his hands together, cupped his hands at the boatman, and replied respectfully.

"Hi! No need." The old man replied with a smile, and then said, "Master, you must be from a different race. I see that your eyes are blue, and you are not from the Central Plains."

"That's true." Ji Anjun squinted his eyes, and replied with some vigilance.

The boatman stopped talking, he felt that this young man was not as talkative as he appeared on the surface.At least, compared to when he first boarded the boat, his eyes are much colder now.

Xizhou of Nine Kingdoms——

"Stop! What are you doing!"

At the gate of the city, Ji Anjun and others were stopped by a soldier at the gate.

"My lord, why were we stopped when others let it in?" Xun Lan stepped forward and asked.

"This road only leads to Yuezhou in the Great Wu. Judging by your attire, you must be a businessman. Come on! Take it!" Xiaobing said, looking back and forth at the three of them, and finally came to a conclusion, and called someone .

Xiao Yizhi stared in astonishment at the few soldiers who came up inexplicably, holding swords and ropes in their hands, with grim faces, as if they were vicious and needed to be imprisoned in time.

He looked at Ji Anjun at the side with a calm expression, as if he had expected it long ago.Xu Shi's eyes were too direct, Ji Anjun turned his head and smiled at him.Suddenly, he was inexplicably flustered, and quickly looked away.

Seeing the person who looked away, Ji Anjun felt amused in his heart, leaned over, and said softly, "Catch them as soon as possible. When they find out, they will naturally let us out."

After hearing this, Xiao Yizhi was still a little puzzled, frowned with a pair of heroic sword eyebrows, looked at Ji Anjun, and said slowly, "I don't want to wrong you."

When Ji Anjun heard this, his heart warmed up, and he replied with a smile, "No."

Under the sunlight, the blue eyes looked extraordinarily bewitching, and the clear and clean smile made Xiao Yizhi's restless heart slowly calm down.

Looking at Xiao Yizhi who stopped talking, Ji Anjun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, turned his head and said to the soldier, "Since the official said so, then I have nothing to say. If you want to arrest, just arrest."

The soldier sneered and waved his hand, several soldiers quickly stepped forward and held the three of them backhanded.The leading soldiers unload their bags and hand them over to the speaking soldier.

"Take me down!"

Ever since, these three people were regarded as Dawu merchants and thrown into prison.

In the dark and damp dungeon, the lights were dim, and there were shouts from all over the place.

Ji Anjun noticed that a cell of only [-] square meters was full of people. Their faces were dirty, their clothes were ragged and tattered, but they all stared at them with resentful eyes.He also found that in some cells, there were also gorgeously dressed people, but they didn't know what they had experienced. There were scratches all over the clothes, as if they had been torn apart.

Xiao Yizhi looked around and frowned tightly. The place was dark and damp, and there was a strange smell.The people in the cell were like ferocious beasts trapped in a prison, with fierce eyes, looking at the three newly arrested people.

Xun Lan, who had never seen such a terrifying place before, shook her body slightly and secretly looked around, looking at Ji Anjun and Xiao Yizhi who were walking in front from time to time.

"go in!"

The soldiers opened a cell, pushed Ji Anjun and Xiao Yizhi inside, and then closed the door again.

And Xun Lan was locked in the women's prison opposite.

Ji Anjun glanced at Xiao Yizhi, then turned his head and looked around. Fortunately, this cell is quite spacious.

The prisoners in this prison saw two well-dressed men being imprisoned in, they could not help but surround them one after another, their eyes were like ferocious beasts, and they wanted to eat them alive.There was only one person sitting in the corner, indifferent.

Seeing this, Xiao Yizhi hurriedly took a step forward, blocking Ji Anjun behind him, making gestures with both hands, ready to attack.

"What do you want to do!" Xiao Yizhi asked in a cold voice, his eyes slowly becoming ruthless.

"Are you merchants?" a prisoner asked.

"What does it have to do with you?" Xiao Yizhi choked back vigilantly, without raising his guard at all.

Looking at this posture, Ji Anjun thought, being arrested, he is already at a disadvantage. If he still makes trouble in this prison, don't even think about getting out.

"Don't be impatient, everyone. We are not merchants, but ordinary tourists. We were mistaken for merchants, so we were arrested." Ji Anjun stopped Xiao Yizhi, walked out, and replied with a smile.

"Hmph, if you tell ghosts this, they won't believe you!" The prisoner snorted coldly.

The rest of the prisoners booed again and again, without taking half a step back.

Xun Lan, who was locked in the opposite cell, was very worried when she saw Ji Anjun and Xiao Yizhi surrounded. She held on to the iron fence with both hands, bit her lip, and looked at them anxiously.

"Then what do you want?" Xiao Yizhi stared at the man and asked in a cold voice.

The prisoner looked at Xiao Yizhi, turned his grunt eyes again, walked aside, spread his legs, stretched out his fingers, pointed to his crotch, raised his chin, and said contemptuously, "Get through here, We just believe it!"

"Yes, yes! Drill through!"

"Drill through!"

"Drill! Drill!"

The surrounding prisoners started booing, their faces full of expressions of watching the show.

"you wanna die!"

Xiao Yizhi raised his fist, said something angrily, and then went forward to beat that disgusting prisoner.

The prisoner looked at the angry Xiao Yizhi and smiled instead of anger.The prisoners around saw Xiao Yizhi rushing towards him, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, trying to catch him.

Ji Anjun who originally wanted to stop Xiao Yizhi, but because Xiao Yizhi was too fast, he stretched out his hand and missed him.What he saw again was Xiao Yizhi wrestling with those filthy prisoners.

So dirty!

Such words flashed through Ji Anjun's mind.The body reacted, reached out and grabbed a prisoner forcefully, and flung it out with all his might.The prisoner hit the iron fence and shrank to the ground in pain, screaming.

Finally getting closer to Xiao Yizhi, Ji Anjun reached out and grabbed his collar, lifted him to his side, protected him behind him, turned around and kicked the two prisoners out.

Seeing Ji Anjun's skill, the prisoners suddenly stopped and looked at each other, no one dared to step forward to strike first.

Looking at these prisoners, Ji Anjun couldn't bear it anymore, the gentleness in his eyes was replaced by cruelty.

"Stop it all!"

A voice came from a corner.The prisoners immediately put down their posture and retreated one after another, but their eyes were still fixed on Ji Anjun and Xiao Yizhi.

The person who spoke was the one who had been sitting in the corner.He stood up leisurely and walked slowly towards Ji Anjun, his eyes were piercing, his steps were steady, his aura did not look like a prisoner at all, but rather like a soldier in the army.

Ji Anjun looked at the man who appeared suddenly with a gloomy face, pursed his thin lips, and said nothing.

But Xiao Yizhi behind him looked at the person who came out suddenly, but he was thinking about Ji Anjun knowing martial arts in his mind.

"I believe what you said." The man said.

Ji Anjun frowned slightly, but let down most of his guard.This person has no evil intentions.

"You don't have the smell of copper from those merchants." The man said again.

His eyes suddenly moved away from Ji Anjun, and turned to Xiao Yizhi behind him, curling the corners of his mouth, saying nothing.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yizhi felt his gaze and asked.The prisoners seemed to listen to this man very much.

The man suddenly glanced at Ji Anjun, and replied, "Me? Before asking others, shouldn't I first report my family name?"

Hearing this, Ji Anjun lowered his head and chuckled, and replied, "We are tourists, and we came to Jiuzhao just for sightseeing."

"What you said doesn't mean you didn't say it? What I'm asking is who are you? Where are you from? What are you here for?" The man stared into Ji Anjun's eyes and asked forcefully.

"You are not an official, why do you press us?" Xiao Yizhi suddenly asked coldly.

Ji Anjun stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Yizhi's sleeve, looked at the man, and said calmly, "We are from Beili, and the purpose is indeed to travel. Now, you can say it."

Hearing this, the man raised his chin and said:

"Your Majesty, Yang An, deputy general of the Xizhou Barracks of the Anyang Army of the Nine Zhao Kingdoms."
