r Your Majesty's empire. A city only has a few hundred thousand people, while an empire has millions. Your Majesty has already done enough. Let alone anything else, just speaking of..."Fine, leave the...Perhaps using underhanded tactics, the attackers tonight had cultivation at the level of the Second Ring of Qi Meridian Realm. However, their combat strength wasn't high. It was just the poison found on these bodies that made one gasp in shock.

"Are you planning to kill everyone"

Lin Weihua is an old fox, these poisons are rare but potent and extremely dangerous!

"Sir, are you alright"

Guan Fengsi knew these people were targeting He Houde, and Zhang Liyang was with He Houde.

"It's fine."

That wisp of smoke was nearly useless under Zhang Lixiang's double-pupil heavenly aperture minor divine ability.

"Take care of them." Turning to Lin WeiHua, Zhang LiYang said, "Lin gege, didn't I disturb your rest"

The corner of his mouth twitched again, and Lin Weihuai said with a hint of helplessness, "It's fine, it's fine."

Looking at Lin Wei Hua return to the room, Zhang Li Yang also returned to his own room.

He Houde, who had already heard the commotion, was awake and sitting at the edge of his bed. His face was uncertain.

Seeing Zhang Liyang walk in, He Houde's body trembled slightly and he hurriedly leaned back, "I don't know anything."

"Hmm~" Looking at He Houde's reaction, Zhang Liyang felt anger in his heart, but he didn't press him for an answer.

He's only just stepped onto the path of demonic cultivation. A simple decree could have disposed of him directly, so why go through all this trouble of escorting him to the capital And Zhang Liyang was attacked just days after setting out!

There are no other hidden secrets here, Zhang Liyang would never believe it even if he were beaten to death!

But still, the same words, when one's strength is at a weak stage, it is best to restrain one's curiosity!

Eunuch Ancestor Feng Zhen didn't explain anything, that Liyang couldn't go to inquire about privately.

Ignoring He Houde's ever-changing expression, Zhang Liyang directly sat down in a chair with his eyes slightly closed. While he continued to meditate and cultivate, he was also thinking about how to safely escort He Houde to the imperial city.

He Houde didn't close his eyes all night because of this attack, Zhang Liyang also stayed up all night cultivating.

Meanwhile, in a room not far away, Lin Weihua's eyes were wide open as well.

"Uncle Hua, are you thinking about the attack tonight"

"Well," Lin Weihua gave a wry smile and nodded. "I apologize, Miss. I thought we had found a powerful safe haven, but it turns out this haven is also caught in the vortex."

"Actually, this is a good thing for us too."

"Um What did you say, Miss"

"Two groups of people helping each other through a difficult time!"

"Miss said that's right." Lin Weihua was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, but soon his face showed a look of pain, "It's just a pity for those four million taels of silver. It could have been avoided in the first place."

After a wave of assassinations, there were no more attacks. So the next morning, Zhang Liyang came to the dock and chartered a ship directly.

This was a merchant ship, originally intended to transport goods. However, Zhang Liyang's high price made the captain's eyes light up, and he directly abandoned his plans to transport goods.

So after buying some essential supplies, the merchant ship that was supposed to depart in a few days left the dock before noon.

Just as Zhang Liyang and his companions had just left, several others arrived at the pier.

"Are you sure you went by water"

"Yes, I saw them go up myself."

"Sir, shall we pursue them"

"No need to chase, we're not good at water battles. Finding them would only lead to a disadvantage and certain death."

Then our mission…

"There are some people there, just let them handle it. Later, you take a few people to Flying Dragon City."

"Go to Fei Long City"

"Humph! Not those waste of space from last night!" The leader seemed to be enraged by being spooked, "To make He Houde shut up, it doesn't necessarily have to be about killing him."

"Feilong City still has his family..."

Those under him instantly understood their leader's meaning. This was to use He Houdé's family as leverage, threatening them while continuing the assassination attempt, a two-pronged attack!

"Tell them, no matter what means they use, I don't want Ho Houde to live to reach the imperial city."

The pressure that needs to be applied still needs to be applied. Once it is relaxed, the consequences may result in the anger from above burning onto oneself.

"That eunuch..."

"Just a eunuch, kill him together!"

"Yes!"

On the river surface, the moist steam blowing in the gentle breeze feels incredibly refreshing. It's much more comfortable than sitting in a carriage.

Miss Zhang is of refined taste.

At the bow of the boat, Lin Weihu saw Zhang Liyang fishing and smiled as he walked over.

"Brother Lin is here, come sit." Zhang Liyang patted the seat beside him, smiling as he spoke and handing Lin Weihua a fishing rod. "Try it"

"Okay."

Taking the fishing rod, Lin Wei hua didn't stand on ceremony, sat beside Zhang Liyang and cast a line into the river.

"I don't know yet, where is Zhang Gongzi from"

"I come from the Imperial City."

"Oh, that's a distinguished person..."

The two of them chatted while fishing, and in the end, even the person Lin Weihua brought with him came over to fish together.

Looking at the girl who wrapped herself tightly, Zhang Liyang shook his head and smiled, "Aren't you hot"

"I..."

"I know you're a girl, but in the middle of summer, dressing like that will make anyone look at you twice."

"Sorry." Lin Weihua bowed to Zhang Liyang. "Miss, take off your coat. You and Young Master Zhang are now comrades in misfortune, not outsiders."

"Oh, well," he said, taking off his coat. A vision of loveliness, like a lotus flower just emerging from the water, leaped into Zhang Liyang's eyes.

"No hibiscus flower compares to a beauty's makeup, and the water palace is filled with the fragrance of jade as the wind blows!" Looking at the person before him, Zhang Liyang couldn't explain why this poem suddenly popped into his mind.

"Greetings, young master! Dong Lin YaoYao has met you." Now that she was showing her true self, Dong Lin YaoYao did not conceal her identity.

"The Eastern Forest Family of Huai'dong"

Although Zhang Liyang had some guesses in his heart, when it was really confirmed, it still made Zhang Liyang's heart skip a beat.

"Who are you, Donglinhai"

"That's my uncle."

"Who is your master"

"East Forest's Aid."

"Long time no see!" Zhang Liyang bowed to Dong Lin Yao Yao, and at the same time, he had some guesses about the reason why Dong Lin Yao Yao would come.

The Donglin family in Huai'dong Dao was a prominent force, ranking among the top ten in the entire region. They were most renowned for their extensive and successful commercial operations.

The Donglin clan's wealth, spread throughout the entire Dagan dynasty through commerce, ranked among the highest in the empire.

But that's not the most interesting part. What's really interesting is Donglin Hai and Donglin Fu, the brothers of the Donglin family.

Just like an idiotic plot setup, the eldest son Dong Linhai is incredibly capable, yet he's the eldest.

And Dong Lin's business acumen is outstanding, with great potential to surpass Dong Lin Hai and become the next head of the family!ky, two iron nails shot towards Zhang Liyang at high speed. Right behind the iron nails was Qing Shi Dao Ren, his face contorted in a ferocious grin.Whoosh!Footsteps moved, the Earth Emperor's step tr...
