?Wuweizhai, after the inspection, Li Dongjia and Zhangguin Wang came to the private room. They looked at the twelve glass mirrors one by one. Li Dongjia was very satisfied. After a while, Manager Liu brought the others to the private room next door, and the banquets on both sides began at the same time.

"Shopkeeper Wang, the Glass Mirror is indeed a treasure. Li has never seen such a magical thing that can make people shine. Next time, Li will definitely raise more food to buy this treasure."

"If Li Dong's family can really transport food, I believe that Wang's family will be very happy."

"The Duke of Xiyang County is young and promising, and Li is very honored to serve the Duke of County." Li Dongjia said that Yuwen Wen is the owner of the business of glass mirrors, and it is no secret for the wealthy merchants.

"Li Dongjia, Wang Dongjia has now promoted to Duke Zhu."

"It was Li who was ignorant, he was speechless, and he said nothing." Li Dongjia bowed, "Li was entrusted by An. I wonder if the Duke of the State returned to Xiyang? If the Duke of the State has time, Li dared to meet the Duke of the State. What Shu can provide is not just food."

"The Duke of the State has been in a minor condition recently, so I'm afraid it's a coincidence."

"It was Li who was abrupt, rude, and rude... I'll punish three drinks first!"

The guests and hosts began to drink and chat. The transaction was going well. The grain transported by Li Dongjia was of good quality, without sand, and inferior products were used as good or moldy. Thirty-five thousand hu of them were a real weight.

Not to mention the glass mirror, it is well-made and can’t let it go.

Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction and handed over the grain with the other. For Manager Wang, the grain was just transported into the granary. This was in his own territory and it was not difficult. The key was the other party.

"Dongjia Li, do you need to arrange your return?"

"Thank you, Manager Wang, Li has his own way to go back safely."

It is easy to take a boat from upstream to downstream, but it will be much trouble if you return. If you take a boat, you will go upstream. Even a small boat is quite laborious and the boatman needs to row the entire journey.

But the key is that it may not be safe along the way. It is easy to say that the warships of the naval forces of various countries along the way are overturned, just take care of them, because I am afraid of meeting water bandits.

Just as bandits are usually converted from farmers, the bandits and fishermen in various places are just two different faces. Fishermen who make a living by fishing in rivers and lakes can instantly become bandits who kill people and get rich when they see lonely travelers and merchants.

The fishermen along the way may not dare to have evil intentions in a fleet of eighteen ships, but if Li Dong's family and his party ride on several small boats on the way back, they will inevitably meet criminals. The fishermen in the whole village may instantly become vicious water bandits.

Water war is different from land warfare. After a boat capsizes, those land ducks will drown themselves without human beings. People with average water nature will be pulled under the water for a while and people with good water nature can easily kill many people.

This is a relatively safe choice to take the land route, but it is not much better. The mountain villages, powerful territories, and some remote sections along the way are at risk of being killed or robbed.

These days, it is not easy to travel far away. Apart from water, you have to avoid all kinds of bandits and thieves by land. Even if the government is not easy to deal with, there are always bad governors, county magistrates and other local officials who are willing to find money when they see money, it is common for them to kill and seize goods on the charge of "stolen goods".

So Wang Yue admired Li Dong's family very much. He had the experience of traveling thousands of miles to do business, but he was the shopkeeper of a powerful man in Chen State, doing business in Yingzhou, his country.

The other party spans several countries and does big business without fear of hardships. This is the style of a wealthy businessman.

"Shopkeeper Wang, Mr. Li heard from An, that there were also merchants in Yecheng who traveled thousands of miles south to Bazhou to purchase the Glass Mirror?"

"That's right, but thanks to the convenience of water transportation, only Li Dong's family can transport a lot of food."

"If you have the chance, Li will definitely bring more next time."

"That's great, I think I'm very happy to come to the National Guild."

The elderly man sitting next to him was Manager Liang, a subordinate of Li Dong's family. After drinking halfway, he took off his clothes and changed his clothes. When he returned, he secretly made a gesture to Li Dong's family before taking his seat.

"Shopkeeper Wang, Li sent someone to return with a mirror first, but Manager Liang and I stayed in the city for several days to see if we were lucky enough to be summoned by the Duke of the Kingdom."

"Then Li Dongjia and Manager Liang please stay there with peace of mind!"

While the guests and the host and the host were drinking, a waiter came in. Wang Yue heard the whisper in his ear for a moment and said in surprise: "Is this serious?"

"Yes, the little one was ordered to pass on the message, and there was no false statement."

......

Near the Duke of Zhu's Mansion, there were hurried people at the intersection of the street. Since taking office, Yuwen Jun has done many things for the people of Bazhou. He is easy-going and deeply loved by the people. But what is a little surprised is that the defense around the mansion is "overly" strict.

It is also impossible to avoid this. On New Year's Eve at the beginning of last year, Chen Shuling, the King of Shixing of Chen, led the Chen army to cross the river and attack, and besieged the then Xiyang County Duke's Mansion under the leadership of the traitor. Thanks to the strict defense, the opponent did not succeed.

In view of this, the houses near Yuwen Wen's mansion were investigated very strictly, and no one complained. After all, with the mansion of Duke Xiyang County (Duke Zhu) in it, the surrounding security has improved a lot, and thieves have never appeared again.

This is also true. There are often patrols near Duke Zhu’s mansion. All the pedestrians who look at the mansion for no reason can easily attract inquiries from guards. As for carriages and other types, they cannot stay nearby for no reason.

A pedestrian glanced at the direction of the mansion and continued to move forward, turning left and right on the street several times, and entering a small yard.

"How about it, which plan is used for the guarding of the mansion outside today?"

"Man."

"Ding? This morning, the results of our survey were based on Plan B."

"It's changed, probably because it's unusual today, so it's temporarily changed."

"Ten sets of plans, change them every day, and you won't feel tired!"

One person sneered, and others looked contempt when they heard this. They were all wearing ring lock armor and putting on ordinary clothes outside. After careful preparation for a long time, they finally waited for the day to start.

After lurking in Xiyang City for more than half a year, Yuwen Wen's watchdog was extremely crazy. Their countless companions lost their lives and recorded the warning plan of the outer stronghold of Yuwen Wen's mansion with blood and tears.

Xiyang County Duke Mansion has now been renamed the Duke Mansion of Zhu Guo. There are many hidden hills distributed among the neighborhoods and houses of the surrounding neighborhoods. These buildings hidden in the houses form the outer line of defense of the mansion.

Just like the stars in the sky, they form stars according to their respective arrangements. These dark hill buildings do not have people on duty at the same time, and different lines of defense are formed according to different combinations.

After more than a year of statistics, they summarized the arrangements and combinations that appeared in these dark posts, and there were a total of ten sets. In order to facilitate the distinction, they named them separately by the land branches "A, B, C, D...".

Each arrangement and combination will cause different routes to the alleys around the mansion. This arrangement, which is based on unknown psychology, will cause inconvenience to their movements.

It is not to directly block roads and alleys, but as the guards are on duty, those agencies are also on standby. Traps, horse-resistance, tripping horses, fishing nets and even powerful crossbows will become fatal hidden dangers for the attackers at any time.

Fortunately, after more than a year of observation, they determined these arrangements and combinations. The guards who changed their duty every day exposed the rules of opening these dark posts, and of course, they also paid a lot of blood.

"Everyone, it's been more than a year, and today we will decide the winner!"

A man suddenly said, and a tattoo of a strange bird hunting on his wrist was revealed.

"It took half a year to divide it into several groups, and it took countless batches to sneak into this murderous Xiyang City. Do you who are present still remember your friends who died at Zhou's hands!!"

"No!!"

"After they were captured, they all committed suicide on the spot, what was it for!"

"For today's success!!"
