Long Xiaoyuan's idea was really bad.

He went straight to shadow guard to put on makeup and become a wealthy businessman. Afterwards, he even got a brothel girl to act out a show with him.

That's what the play said.

A wealthy merchant from outside the city had taken a fancy to a brothel lady here. Although this woman was not a character like Hua Kui, she was more popular than this wealthy merchant!

Thus, this rich merchant redeemed the brothel girl and planned to marry her back as a concubine.

However, the wealthy merchant's home was quite far away, so before leaving, he decided to play around here with his future concubine for a while.

This woman was a local, and had always liked the Phoenix Mountain. She hoped that she could be as lucky as the Queen from the previous dynasty.

The wealthy merchant doted on this new concubine and brought her to the Phoenix.

However, when she was on the mountain, she took out the token of love that the wealthy merchant bought for her, a jade pendant. That was a token of love!

The concubine immediately became anxious, but after searching for a long time, she was still unable to find him!

His concubine was so anxious that her expression changed. The wealthy merchant's heart ached for her.

And then, this wealthy merchant was truly worthy of being called a wealthy merchant, he actually recruited people in the city, and then went to Phoenix Mountain to look for jade pendant!

The Phoenix Mountain was so big, and on that day, the wealthy merchants and concubines had visited many places.

The wealthy merchants did not care about spending money, so he looked for a hundred people!

And then the hundred men went to the phoenix.

Zhou Hengliang was shocked when he received the news. What? A hundred people went to Phoenix Mountain? "Why?"

His subordinate reported back, "It was said that a rich merchant's concubine lost her jade pendant in Phoenix Mountain!"

"Lost the jade pendant?" Zhou Hengliang glared. Instinctively, he felt like there was a conspiracy behind this.

However, he still didn't know what exactly had happened.

Zhou Hengliang naturally could not let others know about the secret in Phoenix Mountain.

If only a few people appeared, then he could secretly find someone to execute or send those people down the mountain.

However, a total of a hundred people had appeared. Most importantly, those people were not people from the martial arts world. How could he execute them?

After thinking about it, Zhou Hengliang decided to bring his people and set off. Just say that the mountain was Heaven Concealment Castle's territory, and everything else would be decided by chance!

There was no need to mention the influence that the Heaven Concealment Castle had in the Shuanghua City, but if those commoners wanted to stay in the Shuanghua City safely, they would not, and would not have the guts to offend the Heaven Concealment Castle.

Zhou Hengliang believed that since he had received the news, the entire Heaven Concealment Castle must have received the news as well!

I believe that the Heaven Concealment Castle must have already started moving!

Zhou Hengliang calmed down a little as he thought about this. Afterwards, he brought his subordinates and hurried towards the Phoenix Mountain.

Heaven Concealment Castle had indeed received the news, Castle Owner and Fang Qiuhua were stunned at first, but then they started to worry, but he immediately thought of a way.

Originally, the reason the Heaven Concealment Castle did not become a private part of the Phoenix Mountain was because the Phoenix Mountain was extremely barren. It was simply a barren mountain that did not have much use.

Therefore, the Heaven Concealment Castle did not waste much effort to make that barren mountain a private one, because she did not want to attract attention.

Otherwise, he would definitely be curious. It was clearly a barren mountain, yet Heaven Concealment Castle spent a lot of money to buy it from the authorities.

That's right, the Phoenix Mountain belongs to the government. In other words, it belonged to the imperial government.

In order to buy a mountain from the imperial government, one had to deal with the local government. In addition, the government did not have the right to directly buy and sell the mountain.

They did not want to attract the attention of the imperial government, so naturally, they did not come to buy a barren mountain.

But the situation now was different. With so many people going to the Phoenix Mountain to search for items, if they were careless and discovered the secret of the Phoenix Mountain, wouldn't they be done for?

Thus, Fang Qiuhua quickly brought people to the Phoenix Mountain.

However, both Fang Qiuhua and Zhou Hengliang did not expect Long Xiaoyuan's "damage" to actually have another trump card.

That was … The government!

Although in the Shuanghua City, the officials were basically just decorations. If there were any problems, then the people outside could easily settle them.

However, the government represented the government!

Not only did that rich businessman find so many commoners, but most importantly, he even sought out the government!

Not long after the hundred over citizens entered the Phoenix Mountain, kungfu's yamen followed them up the mountain.

After all, Zhou Hengliang and Fang Qiuhua were a step too late.

Thus, when Zhou Hengliang and Fang Qiuhua led the people to the Phoenix Mountain, it was already filled with commoners.

On the other hand, County Order, Lord Wang, who arrived later, brought a group of yamen from his residence at the foot of the mountain.

Wang County Order was very surprised when he saw Zhou Hengliang and Fang Qiuhua come over.

"Eh? Fang Castle Owner and Master Zhou? Why are you guys here as well? " Wang County Order asked while looking at Phoenix Mountain behind him. What he saw was naturally the scene of the people of Phoenix Mountain looking for jade pendant.

Seeing Wang County Order's expression, it was obvious that they misunderstood that they had come to help look for the jade pendant. This caused Fang Qiuhua and Zhou Hengliang to be embarrassed for a moment.

"Then, it was Zhou Hengliang who opened his mouth." Lord Wang has misunderstood us. We didn't come here to help someone find something. "

"Hmm?" Wang County Order was even more surprised when he heard that. Why have the two of you come to this barren mountain? "

It was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but Wang County Order very "emphasized" the two words, "Desolate Mountain".

Zhou Hengliang met up with Fang Qiuhua on the way here. The two of them discussed and came up with the same idea.

So, Zhou Hengliang said, "Lord Wang, in fact, it is because Heaven Concealment Castle and I wanted to work together on some things in the Phoenix Mountain that the Phoenix Mountain would not be so abandoned. We were just about to go and discuss with the authorities about buying the Phoenix Mountain's land, but we did not expect that Lord Wang would bring people here, so we came here to take a look."

"Ah!" The Heaven Concealment Castle wants to buy the desolate mountain, the Phoenix Mountain? "Why?" Wang County Order said, "Do you really have that much money?" You want to burn your money to play? " Ye Zichen looked at Zhou Hengliang and Fang Qiuhua.

This strange look in his eyes immediately made Zhou Hengliang and Fang Qiuhua, the two old foxes, feel uneasy.

"Cough, cough." Fang Qiuhua coughed. Lord Wang, we only want to make use of this barren mountain peak to do some business, and benefit the citizens of the Shuanghua City. "

"Fang Castle Owner is really considerate towards his people." Wang County Order sighed and looked at Fang Qiuhua with admiration. "I wonder what kind of business Castle Owner is going to do with this barren mountain?"

"This …" Fang Qiuhua hesitated slightly.

Things had happened too suddenly, so of course he hadn't thought it through completely. However, his hesitation could also be treated as a bad way to divulge trade secrets. Otherwise, if he lost the advantage, wouldn't he be snatched away by others?

In that case, the business would be a loss!

Wang County Order said: "I understand the hesitation of Fang Castle Owner, this business opportunity is very important, it's just that, if we really want to succeed in this Phoenix Mountain transaction, I will have to report it to the imperial government. At that time, even if Castle Owner buys Desolate Mountain business, the records will have to be recorded."

Fang Qiuhua hurriedly said when he heard that, "Lord Wang, you're overthinking it. I'm not afraid of you revealing the news or anything else, but I don't have a detailed plan yet. So I don't know how to explain it to Lord Wang."

"So that's how it is." Wang County Order nodded. "However, I would like to ask, what business does Castle Owner want to do?"

"It's medicinal materials." Fang Qiuhua immediately said. Cultivate medicinal herbs in the surrounding areas of the mountain. "

"Ah, this is a good thing." Wang County Order was very excited and then bowed deeply towards Fang Qiuhua. "I must thank Fang Castle Owner well, Fang Castle Owner truly has paid a great price for this Shuanghua City."

He wasn't sure if it was just an illusion, but even though Wang County Order's expression was very sincere and his gratitude seemed to be genuine gratitude, Fang Qiuhua and Zhou Hengliang still felt a little awkward!

Fang Qiuhua quickly waved his hand as the feeling disappeared in a flash.

Zhou Hengliang laughed bitterly and said worriedly, "My lord knows that the herb business is very sophisticated in terms of geology, so we were a bit worried when we heard that so many people came up the mountain."

"Yeah." Fang Qiuhua also sighed. "I'm afraid so many people will trample on something …"

"Fang Castle Owner and Master Zhou are overthinking this." Wang County Order said seriously: "Phoenix Mountain has not fallen for more than a hundred years, it would not break just because of some people stepping on it. "This mountain has already been abandoned for so many times, and there are no valuable things on it yet. Therefore, you don't have to worry about trampling on anything."

Fang Qiuhua wanted to say something, but Wang County Order immediately smiled and said, "Besides, this place is only a barren mountain and is not private. Anyone can go up there. Fang Castle Owner can't possibly chase him down at this time, right?"

Wang County Order could make things difficult for them.

Zhou Hengliang's eyes darkened. He really wanted to take out his saber and dry County Order, but could he?

In broad daylight, not to mention, the eyes of almost all the citizens in the city were fixated on this place!

At this moment, Wang County Order said: "Since the two of you are here, why don't you go up and take a look."

Fang Qiuhua and Zhou Hengliang looked at each other secretly and then agreed.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, the Phoenix Mountain had several more people.

Zhou Hengliang and Fang Qiuhua signaled the men they brought to spread out secretly. They must not let those civilians discover the secret in the mountains!

The people Zhou Hengliang and Fang Qiuhua brought were all his trusted aides, so he understood their thoughts the best.

These people secretly spread out in the Phoenix Mountain.

However, they did not know that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind them. Long Xiaoyuan, Shi Qingzhou, and a bunch of shadow guard were also among the hundreds of commoners!

Moreover, they had been waiting for Fang Qiuhua and Zhou Hengliang to bring their men up here.

Furthermore, they also knew that if there really was a secret in Phoenix Mountain, they would think of a way to prevent the citizens from touching those secrets.

As a result, as long as he paid close attention to these people, he would know where they were getting nervous.

They did not have to discover the secret of the Phoenix Mountain in broad daylight. They only needed to know where these people would stop the common people from going. Therefore, he had to admit that Long Xiaoyuan's method was very damaging.

He had taken everyone into account without leaving a trace.

He clearly didn't know anything, but he could use this method to get a clear understanding of the situation. At the very least, he could find some clues!

The vast crowd searched for more than half a day.

It was not until the sky had turned dark that someone finally cried out in joy. "Ah, I found it! I found it!"

Everyone looked over and saw that it was a man who found the jade pendant.

The woman from the brothel ran over. "Ah, it's really it. I found it!"

"The woman cried tears of joy, and the wealthy merchant's heart ached for her." Don't cry anymore, it's good enough that you found it, it's good that you found it. "

"En!" The girl nodded her head like a chick pecking rice grains and put the jade pendant into her arms.

Although only one jade pendant was found, all the wealthy merchants had paid for it. However, the man who found the jade pendant was the one who got the most.

The rich merchants had thoroughly displayed their affection for the brothel girl.

The large group of people continued to climb up the mountain for a long time before finally setting off down the mountain in a grandiose manner.

There was no helping it, though they did not take the most.

However, the "wages" given by the wealthy merchant was not little!

No one would complain about having too much money, right?

Therefore, everyone was very happy.

Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan also changed and walked in the middle of the group. They were also very happy because their plan was not bad. They had made a big discovery!

Long Xiaoyuan secretly held Shi Qingzhou's hand. Are you tired? "

Shi Qingzhou couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. I should be asking you that, right? "

Long Xiaoyuan shook his head with a silly smile on his face.

Shi Qingzhou couldn't help but shake his head.

The two chatted sweetly for a while, before the group returned to the city. Naturally, they split up.

Shi Qingzhou and Long Xiaoyuan returned to the inn.

The two of them were actually a little tired. After all, they had spent so much time on the mountain.

Anyway, dark guard had already secretly recorded the things wrong with the mountain. As for the rest, he didn't need Long Xiaoyuan and the others to do anything.

Therefore, when they returned to the tavern, Long Xiaoyuan immediately had Scophthalmus bring the Evening meal over.

What Long Xiaoyuan ordered were all things that Shi Qingzhou liked to eat. Shi Qingzhou was also very satisfied with what Long Xiaoyuan remembered and didn't like to eat.

Then, the husband and husband comfortably settled the two people's dinner.

After dinner, Long Xiaoyuan offered to go for a walk, Shi Qingzhou naturally would not refuse.

The husband and the husband walked through the city, occasionally passing by the small stalls and buying some small gadgets.

Of course, because of their status, as long as they left the tavern, they would wear a disguise mask. Otherwise, it would not be fun to be recognized.

"Aren't you worried about home?" Shi Qingzhou asked.

"Hmm? "Home?" Long Xiaoyuan looked at Shi Qingzhou. Didn't they already plan it out when they came out? What's there to worry about? "

Shi Qingzhou said softly, "The plan is just a plan. What if my dad can't hold it?"

"Haha." Long Xiaoyuan laughed. "Qingzhou, don't worry. We will fall behind, but even your father will not. I am very confident in him. Ginger, you have to rest assured."

Shi Qingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Just because of this? "

"Yes, and the light boat, when I left, I gave your father two things."

"What?" Shi Qingzhou asked.

Long Xiaoyuan answered with a smile. The Imperial Jade Seal and the imperial edict. "

Shi Qingzhou was surprised for a moment and then took a deep breath. Do you know what those two items you gave me represent? "

Long Xiaoyuan blinked his eyes. "What?"

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips. "That position."

"Hur hur." Long Xiaoyuan laughed again. Did you think your father would be interested? "It won't happen. Moreover, even if it would happen to be the case, it would still be pretty good. Since we have settled down here, this life of ours should also be very comfortable."

Shi Qingzhou: "..."

Even though Long Xiaoyuan looked like he was joking, he had a serious expression on his face.

Seeing this, the corner of Shi Qingzhou's mouth slowly curled up. He felt that his father being foolish was not wrong. At least, meeting an enlightened monarch meant that his trust would not be let down for nothing.

Since ancient times, the one he feared the most was a loyal official who had met the ungrateful emperor. Today, his father could be considered satisfied.

Long Xiaoyuan, very good.

At this moment, Shi Qingzhou couldn't help but thank the other party for his dream.

If it wasn't that dream, then Long Xiaoyuan definitely wouldn't be like this!
