“Well, the vision is real, and my husband is also worried about it!
I’m afraid that Xiao Ling’er’s Hundred Days Banquet this time might cause some disturbances and attract some old seniors hidden in Jiuzhou.”
Shang Xiuxun immediately understood what he meant when he heard it.
Knowing that this little niece was no ordinary girl, a hint of worry flashed across her bright eyes like black pearls.
Even Li Shouxi is worried about the situation, so this matter may not be simple.
Otherwise, with the current prestige of Prince Yan's Mansion, even the noble families would not be able to make things so difficult for Li Shouxi.
After all, it is shameful for aristocratic families to rob and kill masters of royal family, or to test the strength of Prince Yan's Mansion in Liaodong last time, which is a shameful act.
But it is impossible to destroy Prince Yan’s Mansion openly!
"Sister-in-law, isn't Xiao Ling'er in danger?"
“Don’t worry, sister, the Prince of Yan’s Mansion can still handle it.
Moreover, Xiao Ling'er was born with extraordinary vision and excellent physique. I believe that the purpose of those old seniors is to accept her as a disciple and will not harm Xiao Ling'er. It's just that the husband should be reluctant or don't want Xiao Ling'er to leave."
Although Shang Xiuxun is Li Shouxi's cousin, she is only two years younger than Li Shouxi and older than Li Sili.
That's why the name is so weird.
One calls the other sister-in-law, while the other calls the other sister.
"My Lord, my Lords!"
At this time, Mei Jian and several maids brought in cold dishes, five bottles of red wine and three bottles of ice wine.
There were also some out-of-season fruit plates served on the table.
At this time, Shang Xiuxun was staring at the fruits on the table in disbelief. Many of them were legendary, such as pineapples, bananas, and lychees, which were fruits only available in the south.
Because of the long journey, the fruit had gone bad before it was halfway there.
Even Shang Xiuxun, a foodie, had only heard of it but had never seen it in person.

"Cousin, these are supposed to be fruits from the south, and they are not in season yet. How could they be on the table?"
"Some small techniques have changed the environment. If you like it, I'll let Ling'er take you to the orchard and you'll see.
This is not something precious, and the technology is not complicated, it’s just that the material is rare.”
Greenhouse technology is simple, but Li Shouxi did not promote it.
Once the production capacity of colored glaze is excessive, the market value of colored glaze will not be high. This is the alchemy machine in Li Shouxi's hands.
At least before the glass technology spreads, Li Shouxi needs to firmly control this technology.
"Really? Thanks cousin!"
I picked up a few lychees without hesitation. Although they were not as delicious as the legendary ones, they were indeed the same as the legendary lychees.
"My dear uncles and aunts, please take a seat!"
The luxury of the top-level imperial banquet was such that even Shang Xiuxun could enjoy a feast.
All kinds of delicacies and top-quality ingredients, which Shang Xiuxun had never even heard of before, made her sigh how many good things she had missed out on over the years!
This should have been her life a long time ago.
The place where all the merchants rest is the inn!
It’s not that Li Shouxi didn’t want to keep the guests, but he didn’t want to involve the merchants. Several old men also knew the situation of Prince Yan’s Mansion at this time.
The Hundred Days Banquet is definitely more than just a banquet.
What the Prince of Yan's Mansion will face by then will be far more terrifying than they have imagined.
Shang Xiuxun moved into the villa of Prince Yan's Mansion, ostensibly because she wanted to eat delicious food in the Mansion, and also eat fruits that were out of season.
But everyone knows the real purpose!
After all, even Zhao Linger was shocked when she found out that Shang Xiuxun was Li Shouxi's real fiancée.
"Is this my cousin's newly built villa? Why?"
"Of course, I am worried that the enemy is too strong, and the remaining energy from the fight may cause harm to the family members in the back garden.
These three-meter-high walls are cast with special materials. Even if a ninth-grade martial arts expert attacks with all his strength, it is difficult to break through the defense of this wall, let alone the aftermath of the Gang Jin. "
Hearing this, Shang Xiuxun stared at the wall in front of him in disbelief. That was the corpse of a ninth-rank expert with all his strength.
Chapter 121: The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun
"Eighteen quasi-ninth-grade masters!"
Yanyun's Eighteen Riders!
A terrifying killer hidden in blood!
Li Shouxi stared at the guards brought by Luo Yi, the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun who roamed across the northern desert and were feared by everyone.
Not only were they strong, but the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun also worked in perfect harmony and were cold-blooded and ruthless. Even if the Grandmaster of Tianxiang faced them, he would only be torn apart alive if he didn't escape in time.
The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun did just that back then.
This is also Luo Yi’s ultimate trump card!
But at this moment, Luo Yi was looking at the heroic young man in front of him with a solemn expression.
Ever since he knew that Li Shouxi was going to be the governor of Youzhou, he had thought of many strategies, but finally found that he only had one way - to give in!
If it were any other prince or vassal king, Luo Yi would still have the confidence to fight him, even just for fun.
The two are simply not at the same level of strength.
But facing Li Shouxi and the ironclad Liaodong, even with the Youzhou cavalry, it would be no match for them.
The most important reason was that he knew that the million cavalrymen Li Shouxi was facing had no chance of survival.
What the world sees as luck is nothing but their ignorance of the grassland cavalry.
Luo Yi had fought against the Grassland Iron Cavalry for thirty years, in countless battles, large and small, but he had never heard of any plague breaking out in the Grassland Iron Cavalry's camp.
The grassland is wild, but it doesn’t mean that we don’t understand anything.
They are just a hunting civilization.
Therefore, this kind of civilization is more aware of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, and it is impossible for it to leave such troubles for itself.
Luo Yi didn't react at first, but after studying the details, he quickly discovered that this was Li Shouxi's evil plan.
It's just that this evil plot cannot be brought to light, which is why everyone regards him as Tianyou.
In fact, this was Li Shouxi's vicious plan with no bottom line.
Such enemies are the most terrifying.
What's more, Li Shouxi is surrounded by many brave generals, including Yuwen Chengdu, Li Shentong, and Li Xuanhu, three vanguard generals, and three thousand black armored cavalry. This is what Luo Yi fears the most.
The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun can defeat a hundred of the Black Armored Cavalry, but they can never defeat a thousand.
What’s more, Li Shouxi had revealed his trump cards such as rockets before.
"Your humble servant Luo Yi pays respects to His Majesty the Prince of Yan!"
"Luo Cheng from Jicheng pays homage to His Royal Highness the King of Yan!"
Without any reluctance or integrity, Luo Yi knelt on one knee with his armor in hand.
The same is true of the handsome young man beside him, with a dignified look and outstanding demeanor, what a handsome young man.
He is also the famous white-robed sharpshooter Qiao Luo Cheng!
At this time Luo Cheng also looked respectful, without the slightest arrogance.
After all, his arrogance is based on his gun, but in front of a real strong man, it is undoubtedly a joke.
Especially someone who is only two years older than him.
He had just touched the seventh level last year and comprehended the meaning of the spear, while Li Shouxi had already reached the pinnacle of the celestial phenomena, not to mention that he was a dual-level grandmaster this year.
Moreover, even if they were at the same realm, Li Shouxi's eighth-grade sword immortal status was a gap he could not overcome.
In front of such a monster, Luo Cheng naturally couldn't raise his head.
"Duke Yan, please stand up and take your seat!"
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Yan, for the chance to sit down!"
Sitting at the upper right, Luo Cheng followed closely behind him. Li Shouxi ordered people to bring him some wine.
Luo Yi came today to congratulate Li Shouxi on his surrender, so Li Shouxi would naturally not be so arrogant as to neglect him, not to mention that Luo Yi's strength should not be underestimated!
"It seems that Duke Yan has good news and has already known the court's decision."
"Is it His Royal Highness Prince Yan's request to be the governor of Youzhou?"
Although Luo Yi is a subordinate, he also has his own pride and doubts in his heart.
Given Liaodong's current situation, it is impossible for it to extend its tentacles to Youzhou innocently, which would be very disadvantageous for Li Shouxi.
"This is the condition given to me by the royal family. It is both a compensation and a test.
But for this king, it is a good thing after all. Using Youzhou as a buffer zone and springboard, I can spy on the entire Yongzhou."
Li Shouxi's denial was not intended to divert Luo Yi's anger, but simply because he didn't want to lie.
Moreover, Youzhou needed Luo Yi to lead it, even though he knew that Luo Yi would definitely rebel in the end. But for Li Shouxi, he would not take action until the last step.
Especially the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun!
The best method is to win without bloodshed, using head-on tactics, which is a reckless approach.
What's more, at the Hundred Days Banquet, Li Shouxi also needed the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun to maintain order.
"Probing? What does Your Highness Prince Yan mean?
Could it be that the imperial court wants to test whether our Luo family is loyal to the royal family?"
Hearing Li Shouxi's guess, Luo Yi suddenly roared excitedly.
After all, the test that Li Shouxi mentioned was most likely a test by the imperial court on their Luo family. Was it to see whether their Luo family would resist?
But Li Shouxi shook his head and chuckled:
"The imperial court is not so foolish as to bring about its own destruction.
The lips and teeth are interdependent. This is not just a matter for the Duke of Yan's Mansion. If the court takes action against the Duke of Yan innocently, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the world.
What the court really wanted to test was the land tax law.
Once I take charge of Youzhou, I will have to reform taxes. Duke Yan, do you think I can withstand the attacks of the nobles?"
fizz
Suddenly Luo Yi's body shook, and something dawned on him.
I immediately understood that the intention of the court in this move was not directed at the Luo family, but at the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
There is no "one country, two systems" at this time, nor is it suitable for "one place, two systems".
Therefore, if Li Shouxi wanted to fully control Youzhou, he would have to reform the land tax, which would make him an enemy of the nobles in the world.
Is this his biological son? A direct descendant of the royal family?
Even enemies who are at war with each other cannot be so cruel in their plots.
Sure enough, the Nine Dragon Throne is not so easy to make.
"Luo Yi thanks His Highness for the guidance!"
"Nothing, but I will not treat Duke Yan unfairly. Duke Yan's Mansion will get 10% of the goods smuggled from Youzhou!"
"Luo Yi thanks His Royal Highness Prince Yan!"
The three major economic pillars of Yanwangfu:
3.3 Black Soil! Border Smuggling, Liaodong Three Major Towns!
Border smuggling is to exchange five-stone powder, silk, and fine salt for fat cattle from the grassland, jewelry, etc., with at least ten times the profit.
