Yang Chengye was listening to their conversation, and when he heard that Wanyan Usutu's grandson had arrived, his heart suddenly moved.

  Is this Wanyan Jinchuo the one who wants to force Nalan Yiru into marriage? Is it really that coincidental?

  Yang Chengye also wanted to take a look at what kind of person this Wan Yan Jinshuo was.

  From the conversation of many people, Yang Chengye learned that this Wan Yan Jinshuo was currently in Rucheng County government.

  After dinner, as soon as it got dark, Yang Chengye settled the bill and left, using his lightness skill to hurry towards the county town.

  Rui City, during the Shang Dynasty, belonged to a vassal state called "Rui State". In the early Western Zhou period, it was divided and enfeoffed to Marquis Wei. King Wu of Zhou enfeoffed his younger brother Ji here, who established the State of Wei. The remains of the ancient city of Wei can be found north of the present county seat.

  Weicheng belonged to Jin in the Spring and Autumn period, belonged to Wei in the Warring States period, Qin set up counties, Weicheng belonged to Hedong County.

  Han established Hebei County in Weicheng, still belonging to Hedong Prefecture, which continued until the Jin dynasty.

  In the second year of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, Ruicheng County was first established at the present site of the county seat.

  In the early Sui dynasty, Ruicheng County belonged to Puzhou. In the second year of Tang Wu De (619 AD), Ruizhou was established, governing Ruicheng, Yongle and Pinglu counties.

  In the fourth year of the Chunhua era of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ruicheng and Yongle County belonged to Shaan Prefecture under Yongxing Road.

  In the sixth year of Xi Ning, Yongle County was abolished and merged into He Dong County.

  When Yang Chengye arrived at the city gate of Rucheng, what he saw was a solid city wall and a wide moat flowing slowly, with the river water connected to the Yellow River.

  At the city gate, there were still soldiers guarding, one by one with golden armor and helmets shining brightly, broad shoulders and round waists, strong and powerful.

  It was late at this time, and there were very few people entering or leaving the city gate, which was about to close.

  Yang Chengye hid his long sword in the top of a sturdy big tree on the roadside, then tidied up his clothes and walked towards the city gate.

  "Halt."

  Yang Chengye had just arrived at the city gate tower when he was stopped by soldiers.

  "It's so late, why enter the city?"

  Bing Ding glared at Yang Chengye and asked.

  Yang Chengye put on a smiling face and said: "Bing Ye, I am a silk merchant. Because I missed the ferry, I entered the city a bit late."

  "The city gate is about to close," said Bing Ding in a cold voice. "No one is allowed to enter. You can come back tomorrow!"

  Yang Chengye took out a large piece of silver, weighing over ten taels, and stuffed it into the soldier's hand, saying in a low voice: "Brother soldier, since today is late and the situation outside the city is not peaceful, please be accommodating."

  "These scattered silver coins will serve as an invitation for Master Soldier to have a drink."

  Bing Ding weighed the silver in his hand and was quite satisfied with Yang Chengye's performance.

  "This is the last time, don't let it happen again!"

  Yang Chengye hastily expressed his gratitude and then walked towards the city.

  Rui Cheng is neither big nor small, although it's already nighttime, there are still some people strolling on the streets.

  Originally, Rui City was a bustling commercial center, but now it has been occupied by the Jin State. The Jin army is brutal and looks down on the Han people, thinking that they only understand romance and poetry, and have no sense of crisis at all.

  And they Jurchen people were different, always taking hunting as a hygiene exercise, every single Jin person was a born warrior, thinking that annihilating the Southern Song Dynasty was only a matter of time.

  However, Yue Fei led the Yue Family Army to teach them a lesson. Although they used a plot to kill Yue Fei and disband the Yue Family Army, the Yue Family Army also made it impossible for them to march south in the short term.

  Nowadays, the nomadic Mongols in the north are gradually becoming stronger, which also makes them feel threatened. Therefore, they have gradually put aside their prejudices against the Han people and employed capable Han people to develop their economy, so the northern economy has shown signs of slow recovery.

  Yang Chengye merely browsed through the street scene, he did not forget his true purpose for this trip.

  Rui Cheng County government office occupies a vast area, with luxurious buildings, and Yang Chengye found it without any effort.

  This county government office was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, when the then magistrate was unlearned and untalented, relying on giving gifts to high-ranking officials such as Cai Jing and Tong Guan to take up the position of magistrate.

  During his tenure, he was greedy and tyrannical, setting up many exorbitant taxes and extorting money from merchants and the wealthy everywhere, acquiring a lot of ill-gotten wealth, to the point where the people of Rui City were filled with complaints.

  Jin troops captured Rui city and killed him, with his vast wealth falling into the hands of the Jin army.

  At this time, many Jin soldiers were guarding outside the county government office, with three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounding the county government office so that no water could leak out.

  Yang Chengye relied on his agility and cleverly dodged the guards, darting across the rooftops until he arrived at the reception hall of the county magistrate's office.

  The lights in the living room were shining brightly, as bright as daylight. Inside, people's shadows were faintly visible, and the sounds of silk and bamboo instruments, pipa music, and beautiful rhythms floated out from within.

  Yang Chengye was on the roof of the reception hall, with his feet clamped between the beams and his upper body hanging down, looking through the window paper at the scene inside the reception hall.

  Only in the living room, there was a group of dancers wearing thin gauze and heavy makeup dancing gracefully, with an orchestra playing beside them.

  At the very top, there are two low tables, each with a person sitting on them. One is a tall and sturdy young man wearing a white scholar's robe, holding a folding fan, with a woman in revealing clothing embracing him, smiling like a flower. Behind him, on either side, stands a woman dressed in thin silk, one massaging his back, the other pouring wine for him.

  The young man drank wine, occasionally touching the woman in his arms, provoking the woman's scolding, and the young man burst out laughing.

  Looking at this young man, Yang Chengye thought to himself: "This should be the grandson of Wanyan Usi, Wanyan Jinchuo!"

  On the other hand, there was a young man sitting opposite the youth, wearing a tight-fitting outfit, with a stern expression and a cold demeanor.

  The young man was alone and drinking by himself.

  Upon seeing this young man, Yang Chengye's eyes narrowed slightly. He had seen him before and had even exchanged a palm strike with him.

  He was Qiu Qianren, who had been following the leader of the Iron Palm Sect, Yu Guan Jian Nan, and had attacked Yang Chengye together with Zhao Ji.

  Yang Chengye was puzzled to see Qiu Qianzhen suddenly appear in this place.

  At this time, Wanyan Jinchu swallowed the grape that the woman in his arms had fed him and asked with a smile: "I wonder how the leader of the Qiu family considers my proposal?"

  Qiu Qianzhen slightly closed her eyes and said faintly, "Prince Jin Shuo, didn't you know that I was invited by your uncle?"

  "There is still in the south only iron palm society Lingnan branch of the master, although being summoned back to the headquarters, but also not the leader."

  Haha

  Wanyan Jingshu burst out laughing and said, "Don't belittle yourself, Master Qiu. Your two ultimate skills have shaken the Jianghu, making you the number one master of the Iron Palm Sect. Even Shangguan Jiannan can't be your opponent. It's only a matter of time before you become the leader of the sect. I'm just calling it earlier than expected."

  "As for my imperial uncle, he's already old, otherwise he wouldn't have been sent to Lin'an for so many years."

  "As long as Master Qiu helps me, the prince, achieve an unprecedented great merit, once I ascend to the throne, I will definitely help the Iron Palm Clan become the number one clan in the world, and you, Master Qiu, will also become the first brave warrior of our Great Golden Kingdom, and becoming a king or a marquis will be within reach."

  After listening to Yan Jingshuo's words, Qiu Qianzhen's eyes flickered. He had been in Lingnan all along and was recently summoned back to the headquarters by the leader, Ouyang Jianbei, to participate in the battle to assassinate Zhang Sanqiang, the vice-leader of the Ming Cult. Although they failed, he gained Zhao Ji's appreciation and became her honored guest.
