The leader of the Yan Palace was Sun Xun, the Prime Minister. When Zu An and Sang Hong passed by Yi County when they went to Yunzhong County, they had a conflict with Sun Xun's son Sun Ji in Xiaoyao Tower because there were many people with different identities in Xiaoyao Tower. It was kept secret, and Sun Ji didn't know that he was an imperial envoy. Taking advantage of his identity as a local snake, he planned to rob and kill him for money and death.
As a result, people's calculations were not as good as God's calculations, and they encountered an evil master who took advantage of the evil and slaughtered Sun Ji and his party.
Afterwards, Sun Xun was shocked and angry. Based on the conflict in Xiaoyao Tower, he suspected Zu An. Fortunately, Zu An was smart enough to find out the murderer, thus avoiding the conflict between the two parties.
Although Sun Xun accepted the result on the surface, who knows what he was thinking in his heart.
After all, his son had a conflict with him and wanted to deal with him, only to be taken advantage of by the master of the evil sect later on.
If a person is narrow-minded, it is easy to take anger out on him. The fact that he can teach a weird playboy like Sun Ji is evident in their family tradition.
At this time, Sun Xun and his party had already arrived, dismounted from their horses and saluted Zu An and others: "Sun, on behalf of King Yan, is here to greet Mr. Zu and all the generals!"
"Prince Yan, you're welcome!" Zu An responded politely, bowing his hands to him. At the same time, he sighed in his heart that this guy didn't even show any anger points, which shows how deep the city is.
At this time, Zhang Jie, the prefect next to him, suddenly said with a smile: "Master Zu, they are here for the emperor's enthronement. King Yan only sent you here and did not come forward. It is a bit neglectful."
Although King Yan had a high status, this time Zu An was responsible for such a major event as Feng Chan, and he brought with him the emperor's personal guard Yulin Army, who represented the emperor to a certain extent. According to etiquette, he should come to welcome him together.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became awkward. Zu An did not expect that the conflict between the local officials of Yi County and King Yan would reach such a public level.
When I passed by Yunzhong County as an envoy last time, I didn't have in-depth contact with the officialdom of Yi County, so I didn't realize this.
Sun Xun replied calmly: "Of course the prince is also preparing to come to pick up Mr. Zu, but a distinguished guest happened to come to the house and couldn't leave, so he specially sent me to greet him. In addition, the prince specially prepared a welcome dinner in the house. Please come with me, my lords.”
Wang Bolin and Zhang Zijiang couldn't help but frowned when they heard this. What do you mean by distinguished guests?
Doesn't this make it clear that the guest is more important than Zu An and his party?
What could be more embarrassing than this? Prefect Zhang Jie and his party had different expressions, and many of them looked like they were watching the excitement, hoping that both sides would fall out on the spot.
I heard that this Zu An was also a stupid young man who didn't even give the King of Qi face. He even broke the legs of the Crown Prince of Qi. There was a good show today.
However, when everyone was surprised, Zu An smiled and said, "Then I'll ask Master Sun to lead the way."
He was worried that he would not have the chance to investigate Mr. Huo, the guest in Prince Yan's palace. How could he miss such a good opportunity?
Everyone in the officialdom of Yi County did not know this, and their eyes widened, and a hint of disdain suddenly rose in the hearts of many people.
Who said this guy was brave? I think he's just a coward.
Most of those random rumors are false. People from the prince's party must have deliberately released them to blackmail King Qi...
??????????????????They all have different ideas, but Wang Bolin and Zhang Zijiang have other ideas. Lord Zu must have his reasons for doing this.
After all, they had seen Zu An's exaggerated moves, and at this time they were already in admiration for Zu An.
Sun Xun was also stunned. He didn't expect that he would be so easy to talk to, and a hint of contempt arose in his heart. He was just a rising star, how could he dare to show off in front of King Yan.
At the same time, he was a little troubled. He actually said that on purpose just now, just to provoke Zu An's emotions and make him do some irrational behavior, so that he could use the topic as an excuse.
Yijun is the territory of King Yan and himself. Unless the emperor comes in person, who can come and take control of it?
Obviously, he had not completely recovered from the pain of losing his son. He originally wanted to take these opportunities to retaliate against Zu An, but he did not expect that the other party would not accept the move at all.
"Everyone, please come here!" Now that everyone in Yi County's officialdom was watching, he had no choice but to lead everyone to Prince Yan's Mansion in the city.
Anyway, today I destroyed the prestige of my surname ancestor in public, which is a lot of gain. There will be a long time to come, and I can always find opportunities.
The prefect Zhang Jie hesitated for a moment, but decided to go along. He originally wanted to have a fight with King Yan from the imperial court, but now that the envoys from the imperial court were timid, what was the point of insisting on it alone.
Let's deal with this errand first. There is still work to be done to save face. If the feud with King Yan gets too serious and the people in the court know about it, who knows what trouble will happen.
Seeing that he agreed, other officials in Yi County naturally followed suit.
However, it is impossible for so many people from the Yulin Army to enter the city. Duwei Yang Sheng is responsible for taking them to a nearby camp.
Wang Bolin volunteered to stay behind. After all, the military regulations stipulated that three senior officers could not be absent from the army. If something happened and there was no leader, it would be troublesome.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zu An encouraged him by patting him on the shoulder.
Wang Bolin puffed up his chest proudly, and at the same time looked at Zhang Zijiang without revealing any trace, "You are good at flattering me. I can't flatter you, but you must be better than you in doing things. Mr. Zu is so wise and powerful, he will definitely be able to tell who is trustworthy." people.
Feeling his provocative gaze, Zhang Zijiang sneered secretly: "Silly Que!"
Yijun is indeed a big city no less than Mingyue City. The city is extremely prosperous and lively. In addition to the local people, you can also see merchants from all over the world and various spiritual practices. People are everywhere.
However, seeing such a large formation of Zu An and his party, many people gathered around to watch.
"Who is so proud that Prince Yan's Mansion and the County Sheriff's Mansion welcome him together?"
"That man has such a status at such a young age. Is he some prince?"
"Oh, he's so handsome. If I pretend to accidentally fall in front of his horse, will I write a lie about a domineering prince falling in love with me as written in the storybook?"
…
At this time, the two beautiful figures in the inn in the distance were also startled. They both put down their teacups: "Why is he here too?"

One of the two women is young and lively, the other is mature and majestic, but what they have in common is their breathtaking beauty.
"Master, this is really fate destined by God, I want to find him!" the young girl said happily.
The mature woman's face looked a little unnatural: "You have forgotten that our identity cannot be seen in the light. There are so many people in the officialdom around him, how can you find him?"
"At worst, we'll go at night." The girl didn't care.
At this time, the mature woman snorted: "Are you going to watch him show affection with the woman next to him?"
The young woman was startled, and then she noticed Xie Daoyun beside Zu An. The two were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be extremely intimate.
"Ah ah ah, I'm so angry!" The girl suddenly went crazy.
