"Sophia, what's the matter, it seems that Princess Yushuang's health has been poor, it's not because His Royal Highness King Yan failed to ascend the throne as the emperor and fell in anger, right?" Intentionally wanting to break this somewhat stagnant atmosphere, Wufeng Suo grabbed Sophia's wrist and asked casually while carefully checking Sophia's palmistry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Almost only couples can have such intimate behavior, so Sophia subconsciously wanted to break free from Wufeng's big hand, but under Wufeng's strong power, she almost brought Sophia's body into Wufeng's arms, and Sophia's voice trembled a little in a panic, "Your Highness, don't do this!"

"Why can't this be?!" Wu Feng asked the other party with a straight face, "My Fair Lady, good gentleman, is Sophia also of the age of marriage?

Of course, Sophia knows the customs and habits of the Tang River Empire, and a character like Wu Feng is only afraid of being unique in the Tang River Empire, although there are two daughters engaged first, and there is a mysterious hostess in the future, but this does not affect his marriage, as the prince of the empire, maybe he will step to a higher level in the future, and marriage has no longer any restrictive effect for him, as long as it is not a serious violation of the customs and habits of the Tang people.

With a softening in her heart, letting Wufeng clench her slender wrist, Sophia looked into the distance and sighed before saying, "Your Highness, there are already a lot of confidantes around you, Sophia is just a person who has died in the country, why do you care so much?"

Turning his head suddenly, Wu Feng's eyes froze, staring straight at the girl who didn't dare to look at Wu Feng, and said word by word: "If Sophia is unwilling, Li Wufeng will not be reluctant, but I believe in my feelings." ”

Bowing her head to avoid Wu Feng's gaze, Sophia's heart is indescribably bitter and bitter, she is like a duckweed wandering around and never finds a home, but the majestic man in front of her is already in a different embrace, she doesn't want to get involved in the fight with those women anymore, but can she pass the level of her inner emotions?

Shi Yawei stood behind her two sisters with a complicated expression, she regretted coming to this drinking party with her two sisters, looking at the noisy hall full of people singing and dancing, these men gathered around her looked so obscene and ugly, and her heart was indescribably depressed.

Listening to how Xue Xuan had fallen to such a point, a huge group of forces was actually sent to the door and no one received it? In the face of Situ Tai's strength, whether it is the first line of King Qin, the first line of King Xiang or the first line of King Chu who is about to ascend the throne, it seems that they are unwilling to take over the first martial arts sect in Yanjing, which is deeply hated by Situ Tai, Shi Yawei does not believe in this fact, Shi Yayin and Shi Yafu do not believe in this fact, and even Shi Yunyao himself does not want to believe this fact, but the reality in front of him is that both the King of Xiang and the King of Chu have clearly rejected the Shi family's surrender, and the first line of King Qin also put on an expression of refusing to be thousands of miles away, and this time Su Qin, a famous man from Jiangdong who came to Yanjing to be in charge of foreign affairs, did not even want to see Shi Yunyao in person, Maybe they think that with the Aoba faction to rely on, they don't need to spend too much effort on this, of course, the main reason is naturally that they don't want to have a bad relationship with Situ Tai, who has already released his words to deal with the Shi family, because of this matter.

But Ting Xue Xuan is already desperate, if he does not get the support of one of the three major forces in Yanjing, then Ting Xue Xuan, one of the three major factions in Yanjing, is afraid that he will immediately fall from the top three, and now it has shown this decline, the internal affairs department continues to seal the Shi family's business for various reasons, and the deputy director in charge of salt affairs of the Yanjing Economic Development Bureau, who has always maintained a good relationship, suddenly became cold to the Shi family, and even avoided meeting the Shi family's invitation, and it seems that the salt monopoly license that is about to expire also has a tendency to refuse to renew, which makes Shi Yunyao anxious。 Salt trading is the most important and profitable pillar industry in the business run by the Shi family, and the rest such as dart shops, martial arts halls, transportation agencies, etc., seem to be quite powerful in name, but in terms of the profits contributed to Tingxuexuan, all other industries combined are not as good as one-third of the income earned by salt trading for Tingxuexuan.

Shi Yunyao, an old man who has been rolling in the empire's rivers and lakes for decades, knows that once the economic source is cut off, it will be a matter of time before Xue Xuan collapses, no sect in the rivers and lakes can survive without financial resources, even if he is the master of the sect, he is only a lonely person, and it is meaningless for a sect. But now the situation is grim, and if it was a banquet accompanied by the three sisters of the Shi family, why not even run around, but now they have been invited twice, and the answer they got was that they were unwell and could not fulfill the contract. This is obviously someone behind the other party is putting pressure on the other party, but as Shi Yunyao, it is difficult to speak, the right to issue the salt monopoly certificate is originally the privilege of the political axe department, a sentence of suitable conditions can make you rich, the same condition does not meet the non-issuance can also make a family sink, the Shi family has been able to steam for more than ten years, and there is a large extent on the salt business, this deputy director who was picked up by Situ Mingzhi's family and took the line of the Shi family now seems to be planning to draw a clear line with the Shi family, and this blow is enough to make the Shi family irreversible。

What annoys Shi Yunyao is not only this, the two martial arts halls were indefinitely sealed by the police station in the name of undeclared private possession of ordnance, Shi Yunyao twice tried to negotiate with Xue Baiying, the director of the Yanjing Police Department, but failed, and the goods escorted to Dengzhou were robbed halfway, although the value of the goods was not large, but the Shi family lost a few people, the robbers were ruthless, obviously not for the goods, but to attack the guards, this time the Shi family not only had to appease the families of the victims but also deal with the owners of the goods, the reputation of the Shi family dart store was greatly affected, and the business plummeted, all of which made Shi Yunyao feel anxious。

In contrast to this, the alliance of the five factions led by the Luoyue Gate is steaming, with the blatant support of Situ Tai, the Luoyue faction has carried the banner of the first martial arts sect in Yanjing, and several other sects are also constantly expanding their respective scopes in all aspects, constantly encroaching on the circle of influence that originally belonged to Tingxue Xuan, the Qingye faction has the support of the Qin Wang family, and it still maintains its inherent sphere of influence, and there is a tendency to strengthen, even the Zifeng Gate, which has never been able to open the situation in the capital, has also sprung up to become the Tanhualang second only to the Luoyuemen and the Qingye faction in the Yanjing rivers and lakes with the strong support of the Xiangwang family, mercilessly kicked Tingxue Xuan out of the top three of the Yanjing Martial Arts Sect. And the triad with the shadow of the new emperor behind it also began to exert its strength, and there was a great posture to overwhelm Tingxue Xuan to seize several important businesses of Tingxue Xuan in one fell swoop, according to Shi Yunyao's understanding, the battle for the salt monopoly license came from this gang, and they had the support of His Royal Highness the King of Chu behind them.

The rise of the emerging sects will inevitably lead to the change of the power pattern of the entire Yanjing rivers and lakes, there are prosperity and decline, their rise is naturally at the expense of the decline or even decline of some sects, a large number of Jianghu forces led by Tingxue Xuan who were originally attached to Situ Lang almost without exception began to shrink and decline, some small and medium-sized sects have felt the coming of winter, and watching these sects slowly fade out, Shi Yunyao seems to see that tomorrow's Tingxue Xuan may follow in their footsteps.

There is no good opinion on the conversation of the three daughters, this series of troubles that have appeared in a short period of time is not without cause, all kinds of signs indicate that Situ Tai wants to push the Shi family to a dead end step by step, forcing Xue Xuan to kneel in front of him and wagging his tail and begging for mercy, like a cat teasing a mouse in its claws, and it will not stop until it has played enough. It's not a very secret thing that Situ Tai likes his three daughters, Shi Yunyao can't do it, but it is precisely because he knows Situ Tai's cold heart too well that Shi Yunyao can't believe the other party, and it is Situ Tai's creed that the Shi family will repay him, even if the Shi family is now crouching in front of Situ Tai, he may not be able to win the other party's understanding, with his heart and surname, he will only ravage his own family in every way, and then send Tingxue Xuan's family into the eighteenth layer of hell, Shi Yunyao can't take this step.

Li Wufeng's family held a cocktail party seemed to ignite Shi Yunyao's last glimmer of hope, although Su Qin rejected Shi Yunyao's invitation to meet, but Shi Yunyao did not give up, Tingxue Xuan still has a huge strength in Yanjing, even if it is in the entire Central Plains, Tingxuexuan still has considerable influence, Shi Yunyao believes that as long as he shows the value of his side to the other party through the right opportunity, he has a chance to win the trust of the other party, of course, this needs an opportunity, and this time the cocktail party seems to be a godsend. Although the number of places controlled by this drinking party is quite strict, Shi Yunyao still managed to get three invitations from it by virtue of his own skills, as the head of the Shi family and the helmsman of Tingxue Xuan's family, it is not good for him to attend this kind of drinking party without getting an invitation, but his three daughters do not have so many restrictions, no matter which status they can let them come and go freely. The hopes of the Shi family and Tingxue Xuan are pinned on this cocktail party, as the organizer Li Wufeng will definitely attend this cocktail party, finding the right time to communicate directly with Li Wufeng face-to-face is the only opportunity, seeing that the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, I am afraid that if I miss this opportunity, it will never be possible to meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who is a powerful force in the vast western part of the empire.
