At the fortress of Weifeng city in Northern Xinjiang, the dark city wall rises into the sky. Under the city gate, cars come and go in an endless stream. Among them are not only the merchants of Beidou Dynasty, but also the merchants of dog army in leather and strange clothes. Since the official establishment of trade relations between King Dugu Wuchang and the Beidou Dynasty, the number of business groups in Weifeng City, whether from the Beidou dynasty or from the Canrong Dynasty, has increased more than ten times.

Tens of thousands of merchants can't wait to come to the north of Xinjiang to buy the ores, jewels, animal skins and medicinal materials of Canrong merchants. And Canrong merchants can't wait to exchange these commodities for hard currency: Yellow Gold!

Naturally, there is another person who is also happy now. That is Ouyang Siqi, the housekeeper of Gu fan. Since the trade between gourong and the Beidou Dynasty returned to normal, many big business groups in the Beidou Dynasty almost took the initiative to find Weifeng city and asked to open a chamber of Commerce in Weifeng City, which also gave a very rich profit share.

After all, after Gufan became a marquis, the prestige of the central court grew stronger and stronger. These big business groups were proud to hold the thigh of the new foreign marquis. As for money, it was a small problem.

When Gu fan returned to Weifeng City, Weifeng City, a Battle Fortress originally built for war, became the largest commercial city in northern China, which was more prosperous than Shenyang City. The daily trade tax revenue is as much as ten thousand yuan. Originally, the trade tax revenue of Gufan Weifeng city was only enough to support the consumption of food and vegetables for the disciples of BEIYAO palace, as well as the salary of local hired ruffians as guards. Now it is 100 times more than before. Rao is so, many backbone of Gufan dare not use the slightest crooked brain, because they have to admit it, Ouyang Siqi, the blacksmith who is in charge of finance, is more sensitive to money than hounds are to turtledoves.

Gu fan began to practice in seclusion when he handed over his financial affairs to Ouyang Siqi, because others didn't know how powerful Dan Tai RUOYE was on Zijin Mountain. However, he had a deep understanding of that kind of overbearing and overbearing power of the star rank, which was beyond everyone's imagination. And as Bai Liyi said before he gave up his power, Dan Tai RUOYE always had a war with him, If you want to survive, you have to have a stronger power, even a power that is completely above the level of xingzun, to reach the level of master ye Xuanji.

But Gu fan's situation at this time is very embarrassing, that is, his realm is just the limit of the star rank, but his strength is far beyond the star rank. He is like a kettle full of water. No matter how hard it is to hold a drop of water, his realm is also difficult to enter. There is no way to break through. This is the problem that plagues Gu fan.

However, his retreat was interrupted by a Jinggong hummingbird from Tianjing City.

Weifeng City, Yiwu Marquis's residence, outside the closed stone chamber of Gufan.

"Dada dada..." a series of rapid footsteps came, and then the stone mechanism "Kala Kala" rang a few times. The heavy stone door slowly opened, but Bai siyao, dressed in plain clothes, walked in quickly and sat down beside the putuan of Gufan.

As soon as she sat down, Gu fan slowly opened his eyes. If he could not detect such a big movement in meditation, he would be dead.

"What happened? "Siyao." Gu fan saw that Bai siyao, who was always in a state of calm, was in a state of panic. He could not help frowning and asking.

Bai siyao squeezed a note from her sleeve and handed it to Gu fan, saying: "the Jinggong hummingbird in Tianjing City is proud of the dust. It seems that the situation is a bit serious. Gufan, take a look““ oh The exquisite hummingbird of his highness xingaochen Gu fan listened to Bai siyao's words, quickly straightened up, took the note, and said: "Your Highness Xing aochen hasn't contacted me for a long time... This..." however, the relaxed expression on his face was frozen at the moment he saw the note, "this... How can this be?"

Bai siyao had read the note before, and when she saw Gu fan's shocked expression, she didn't feel the slightest surprise. Instead, she went on to say, "comet rushes to Beidou, and Yaowu star emperor's life will soon be..."

Gu fan held that piece of paper in his hand and said with some annoyance, "now the world is at peace, and prosperity is about to begin. If your majesty dies, the world will be in chaos. What can you do?"

Seeing Gu fan's troubles, Bai siyao advised him: "Gu fan, now we are in control of the Northeast Yantian army and the fortress of Weifeng City, and we also have a pivotal position among the officials. Even if the world is in chaos, we can at least protect ourselves, so we don't have to worry too much."

Gu fan nodded slightly and continued: "in the letter, Xing aochen hopes that I will lead my troops back to the capital of heaven. Qin Wang, Si Yao, what do you think?"

Bai siyao frowned slightly and said, "the letter says that emperor Yaowu's life will not be long, but after all, he has not died. If he rashly leads his troops to Tianjing City at this time, I'm afraid it's not right?"

Gu fan touched his chin and said, "it's really not right. It might be treacherous to send troops now. But if you wait until emperor Yaowu's death to send troops to Qin Wang, I'm afraid you'll be the first one. At that time, you'll even use this as an excuse to suppress me or even depose me... It's not good."

Bai siyao looked at Gu fan and said with a bitter smile, "Gu fan, are you worried about the evil

"Yes, now he is also the commander-in-chief of yulinwei. He can't hide from him not only the wind and grass in the Imperial City, but also the intelligence network of yulinwei. It's hard to cover his ears and eyes!" Gu fan thought of this, knocked on his forehead and said: "annoying! Is your majesty deliberately arranging Dan Tai RUOYE to that position? It's strange that he doesn't deal with me when he has the eyes and ears of Yu Lin Wei. " Bai siyao frowned and said, "in your opinion, you can't interfere in this matter?" Gu fan beat his left hand with the back of his right hand and said, "but it doesn't matter. If the emperor Yaowu dies, the crown prince xingzhenxuan will succeed him. I have a big holiday with him. I'm afraid the ancient family will suffer cruel revenge. In addition to the fact that the barbarians are now attached to us, I'm afraid that there will be no place for us to stand in the world. Then we will have to fight back, and if we don't fight back, we will have to fight back! " Bai siyao listened to Gu fan's words and said with a smile, "Gu fan, do you want to help Xing aochen?" Gu fan took a deep breath and said, "the arrow is on the string. I have to send it." He walked slowly in his secret room and said: "the letter says that your majesty seems to have regret. I also think that when xingzhenxuan was made the crown prince, there was no bad comment on it. Now, I have completely covered it. The fifth Prince xingaochen is far better than the crown prince xingzhenxuan. As a benevolent and virtuous monarch, It's strange not to regret. Even if I am in a different place, I will think about the problem of my successor again and again... "He stopped for a moment, shook his hand and said:" just, life is a gamble. I've always had good luck. I hope this time is no exception! " Gu fan walked slowly out of the closed stone room and said to the soldiers guarding at the door, "go and invite all the experts above the star steps to the meeting hall. I have something to arrange!" The soldier had never seen Gu fan with such a dignified face. Knowing that something had happened, he rushed to inform them. However, in a quarter of an hour, all the star level masters under Gu fan gathered in the assembly hall of Yiwu Marquis mansion. All of them were dignified, waiting for Gu fan to announce the resolution. At this time, Gufan's star rank strongmen included Xie Yuxiang, Meng Wuchen, Chi Weihan, huodu, Ouyang Siqi, one cloud envoy of xingpo rank, two zhudaoren of Xingjie rank, two mufengyi of Xingjie rank, three jidaoren of Xinghao rank, Bai siyao and Huan Lingyue of Xinghao rank. Even Gufan had twelve star rank strongmen in total. If this number of star rank strongmen were in this game, It's enough to affect a campaign of about 100000 people. When people saw that Gu fan was frowning and saying nothing, they couldn't help beating drums in their hearts. They didn't know what had happened. When Gu fan spoke slowly, they were more shocked than before“ The comet rushes to the Big Dipper. Your majesty may be going to die! "“ What? "“ How is that possible? "“ God, what's going on For a moment, except for Bai siyao who knew in advance and huodu and Jieyun, two puppets who had no independent thinking, the other nine strong stars were all shocked, especially Xie Yuxiang, Meng Wuhen and Chi Weihan, who belonged to the imperial court. This change was too big for them. Once the emperor and his courtiers die, it is unknown which Prince will take power, and whether Gu fan, their master, will be favored or excluded. At this time, Gu Fan said slowly: "the prince is xingzhenxuan, that is to say, before the death of emperor Yaowu, unless he Dethrones xingzhenxuan and sets up another prince, he will inherit the throne of the emperor““ What can we do? " After all, Meng Wuhen and others have been in the imperial court for several years. They are not like the ignorant sects before. They know that once the emperor Yaowu dies, there will be no accident, and the crown prince xingzhenxuan will succeed. Gu fan and Prince xingzhenxuan have a big holiday. They know better than anyone that Prince xingzhenxuan hijacked huanlingyue or huanlingyue wanted to hijack xingzhenxuan. We all remember that. Moreover, when Huan Lingyue was in the northeast, we all knew that the prince had a very small amount of gas, and he would repay him. It would be strange if he didn't retaliate against the ancient family after he was in power“ Marquis... The whole Tianxuan state knows that you have a festival with the prince xingzhenxuan. What can you do? " Xie Yuxiang also said in some embarrassment. But Huan Lingyue snorted coldly: "these people can also be the star emperor of the Beidou Dynasty. I think this day will be over!"
