Ouyang Heng saw Zi Yan under a quiet tree.
Zi Yan put her hands on her knees. She was wearing a soft blue dress with a light color between her eyebrows. She did not look like the leader of the hidden guard with bloody hands, but a beautiful Jiangnan woman. Graceful like flowing water on a small bridge.
Ouyang Heng stood nearby, not daring to make a sound. Although a long time had passed, he knew what kind of person Zi Yan was at heart, and he was still somewhat afraid in his heart.
"Ouyang Heng..." Zi Yan's thin voice reached his ears.
"Here!" Ouyang Heng instinctively stirred, put his legs together and saluted.
"Am I that scary?" Zi Yan looked at Ouyang Heng with her clear eyes. She raised her arms, resting her elbows on the stone table in front of her, resting her chin on her palms. A small part of her sleeves slipped down. Revealing jade-like skin.
"My lord, you have the beauty that will overwhelm the country, how can you be scary?" Ouyang Heng said seriously immediately.
No matter what, the attitude must be correct.
But having said that, Ouyang Heng knew that even though Zi Yan was so beautiful and weak on the surface, in fact, this body contained strength like a tyrannosaurus and amazing wisdom.
I heard that the poisonous poison technique that Zi Yan learned from the Saint of the Black Lotus Sect has already entered the palace, and he carries some weird gadgets with him anytime and anywhere.
When he thought about those snakes, insects, scorpions, centipedes and the like, his whole body felt cold and weak.
"Okay, without further ado, let's get down to business first." The faint smile on Zi Yan's face faded.
Ouyang Heng finally felt a little relieved and said that it was better to do business directly.
However, when he sat down, he couldn't help but think about a question, what kind of man would a woman like Zi Yan marry in the future?
In other words, what kind of man can control Zi Yan?
"Three days later, we will leave the grassland and return to Daqi. We will go to the capital first and then go to the south of the Yangtze River." Zi Yan said lightly.
"Go to the capital first?" Ouyang Heng was slightly startled. This was a decision that surprised him.
"Going to see Emperor Daqi, what? Are you afraid?" Zi Yan glanced sideways at Ouyang Heng.
"I'm not even afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of the Emperor of Qi?" When it came to courage, Ouyang Heng felt unconvinced.
He is a killer who is proficient in the art of assassination and has climbed out of the dead. He has cultivated the courage to look death in the eye since he was a child. No matter how dangerous things happen, he can keep his heart beating steadily to avoid excessive panic.
"The Emperor of Daqi is a wise king. I once thought that Daqi was going to collapse and the end of the dynasty was coming. Who would have thought that this emperor would give Daqi a breath of fresh air. In this way, Daqi would have time to Sorting out the internal problems may not even help ZTE."
This is Ouyang Heng's innermost thoughts. Killers like them also need to pay attention to the major events in the world. Many years ago, when Da Qi was still the old emperor, many people in the world thought that Da Qi was about to die.
Even in teahouses in many cities, some people openly discussed and lamented: "This Daqi is going to perish."
But the development in recent years has dispelled people's worries.
Outside Da Qi, Luo Fengtang, the God of War of Da Qi, blocked the Han attack at Tongtian River. Inside, Emperor Qi Xingyun was determined to forge ahead and sort out the government affairs. Da Qi, who was terminally ill and only breathed out, slowly began to feel better. improvement.
Like a few buds sprouting from a dying tree, we can already see the empire rising.
And here, Qi Xingyun is a real core figure.
"However, I heard that Emperor Qi was harsh and vying with the people for profit." Ouyang Heng asked his own question.
"People? What people? Are the people you heard about the landowners in the fish and meat village, or the so-called aristocratic families who inherit poems and books?" Zi Yan sneered.
"I was born into an aristocratic family. I know exactly what those so-called wealthy families have in their bones. They control the right to speak. In their eyes, letting them earn less is 'competing with the people'."
Zi Yan calmly explained the practices of those aristocratic families.
"It turns out that the so-called people are not ordinary people. They are wealthy families and landlords." Ouyang Heng suddenly realized that he had lived in a killer organization all year round and did not know much about the things that were going on like this. If Zi Yan didn't make it clear, he would have taken it seriously. I thought the emperor was competing with the people for profit.
"The aristocratic families in the capital have been suppressed many times by Emperor Qi and have restrained themselves a lot, but the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River... have become lawless for a long time. In Jiangnan, ordinary people only know the four major families and do not know the emperor. "
"The four major families are the government, and what they say is the law."
Disgust flashed in Zi Yan's eyes.
"The purpose of our trip to Jiangnan is to find the whereabouts of the puppet master, right? Do the four major families in Jiangnan have anything to do with us?" Ouyang Heng hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"This time, we are going to Jiangnan to turn it upside down. Do you think we are just looking for a puppet master?" Zi Yan asked.
Ouyang Heng suddenly felt his teeth hurt.
This is really a pirate ship.
Go to Jiangnan to deal with the four major families? Do you think you are tired of living a crooked life?
When he was in the killer organization, he remembered that the four major families were one of the financial backers of the killer organization. They were the ones who often purchased murder package services at high prices!
After offending the four major families, not to mention their own armed forces, they could just hit people with money and beat them to death.
Qi Xingyun, the Emperor of Da Qi, is such a powerful emperor, but he still has nothing to do against the four major families?
In the court, the three bachelors are all closely related to the four major families. Even the six departments of the imperial court, as well as the Yushitai, Dali Temple, etc., are all infiltrated by the four major families like a sieve.
Even if Ouyang Heng is not knowledgeable, he knows that the number one of the killer organization has warned them not to mess with the four major families.
"Didn't you say that you are very brave? Are you afraid now?" Zi Yan's lips raised.
"I'm the most courageous. I have nothing to be afraid of. I'm just worried that things won't work out." Ouyang Heng said.
"With military force, we have the support of Emperor Qi, and we will never be weaker than the four major families in Jiangnan. In terms of financial resources, in addition to being partially supported by the treasury, we also have the support of Yang's Trading Company... The financial resources of Yang's Trading Company are not as strong as those of Jiangnan, the strongest of the four major families. Under the family, financial and military resources can be guaranteed, don't we have the strength to fight?" Zi Yan said lightly.
"Is Yang's Trading Company so powerful?" Ouyang Heng has certainly heard of Yang's Trading Company.
Among the newly emerging trading houses in Daqi, the strongest one is Yang's Trading Company, which was founded by Yang Ruoqing, the wife of General Luo Fengtang.
"The tentacles of Yang's Trading Company have spread all over the country, and its financial resources are astonishing. In just a few years, it has become one of the strongest trading houses in Daqi. Therefore, you don't have to doubt it." Zi Yan said.
