Not only the big fish and meat, the delicacies comparable to those cooked in the palace, but also the beautiful dancers with fair faces and tender skin in front of them.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Wu Yuan would never have been able to associate everything in the city lord's palace with the refugees outside that they existed in the same city.
Neither Xin Ruyan nor Murong Haitang used their chopsticks because they couldn't eat.
Even Mo Qiaoer just looked at the delicious food in front of him eagerly, but still resisted eating it.
Because Mo Qiaoer knew that if he ate the food here, he would be very sorry for the refugees outside.
Wu Yuan only asked someone to bring them the wine they brought along the way, because they were not used to drinking other wines.
Just quietly watching the officials of the city lord's palace feasting.
Zhang Tianyi did not notice the reactions of Wu Yuan and Xin Ruyan. In his eyes, he had already preconceived the idea that Wu Yuan was the same as them, so there was nothing to show off.
At this time, Wu Yuan took the initiative to ask: "City Lord Zhang, this huge stone city has been fighting for years. Although you are the city lord, it is not easy to provide such fine food. I feel a little embarrassed to treat me like this."
.”
Hearing this, Zhang Tianyi laughed "haha" and said, "To be honest with you, your highness, I and the others are able to be happy today thanks to your highness. If it weren't for you, although we would have done well, we would still be able to live happily ever after."
It’s definitely not that moisturizing.”
These words made Wu Yuan a little confused, "Why is it because of me?"
Regarding this, Zhang Tianyi did not hide anything and said directly: "Your Highness, you are such a noble person and forgetful about things. Previously, the fifth prince came first and brought five million silver to deceive Dayu's people and gain access to the city."
Wu Yuan nodded, "But this happened, what next?"
"Then the second prince came and directly snatched the military power and money from the fifth prince. He also asked someone to give the money to me and asked me to distribute it to the people in the city." Zhang Tianyi said again.
Wu Yuan nodded again, "Then what does this have to do with me? Also, you don't want to tell me that you are able to live so richly because of this money, right?"
"The wisdom in the world is indeed because of this money. For us, this money can be said to be a timely help." At this time, Zhang Tianyi did not notice Wu Yuan's face that had darkened at all.
Still minding his own business, he said: "The second prince told the truth back then, you instructed him to give this money to us for processing."
"I have to say that you are really a great benefactor to us. You not only revitalized our merchants here, but also gave us a chance to breathe. Your Highness, please rest assured that we have decided to follow your orders from today on.
"
Several other officials also stood up immediately to show their loyalty.
Wu Yuan suppressed his anger. If he hadn't felt that this guy still had something to say, he would have shot this bastard to death.
"It's not impossible to show loyalty, but are you going to use these to serve me?" Wu Yuan looked more disdainful.
"Of course not. Don't worry, Your Highness, I have arranged everything." Zhang Tianyi said confidently.
Wu Yuan drank a glass of wine, and then asked with interest: "Then let's talk about it. If you are not satisfied, don't blame me for being unkind."
Zhang Tianyi replied very confidently: "Your Highness, although you can rest assured, we will not vouch for you without absolute certainty. It's just..."
Zhang Tianyi said at the end, hesitatingly looking at Xin Ruyan and the girls, as well as the cuties waiting on the side.
"You all go down!" Wu Yuan deliberately pretended to let the little cuties go down to rest.
Zhang Tianyi was a little speechless. In his eyes, women are not trustworthy. What's more, he knew that Xin Ruyan was the daughter of the first divine general and was absolutely loyal to Dawu. At least that's what he thought.
of.
"Now, Your Highness, should I let Madam take a rest?" Zhang Tianyi asked tactfully.
Wu Yuan waved his hand, then pinched Xin Ruyan's face, and said in a very rogue manner: "Don't worry, I'm just a woman. I can't make any big waves. It just gives them some experience."
Zhang Tianyi's eyes lit up, especially when he saw Xin Ruyan not daring to resist in Wu Yuan's hands, he admired Wu Yuan even more.
"Your Highness is indeed a role model for our generation!"
But Zhang Tianyi didn't see Wu Yuan's expression of winking at Xin Ruyan desperately for cooperation.
"Haha, I'm kidding, stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business." Wu Yuan urged.
This time, Zhang Tianyi was hesitant and said to Wu Yuan extremely excitedly: "His Highness just asked about the second prince Wu Zheng. His Highness must have been anxious to capture the second prince."
"I think so. The Second Prince and you have always been at odds with each other. Now we finally have the opportunity to avoid future troubles forever. It's normal for Your Highness to be anxious."
When Wu Yuan heard this, he remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he felt a moment of silence for Wu Zheng. This old man was probably plotted by the city lord.
Xin Ruyan and Murong Haitang looked at each other and thought about Wu Yuan.
In this way, a few people became more patient and listened to Zhang Tianyi's words.
Zhang Tianyi did not disappoint Wu Yuan and others, and said very proudly: "Your Highness, this second prince is actually a meeting gift from me to you. Now the second prince leads troops and horses to station on the front line. He looks majestic, but in fact
They have reached the point where they have run out of ammunition and food. The food and grass that the Second Prince asked me to prepare were directly detained in my hands. Counting the days, they have been without food and grass for more than three days. At this time, Your Highness can easily take the Second Prince away.
Take it."
"What!" Xin Ruyan finally couldn't hold back and stood up angrily.
Murong Haitang also said coldly: "With such a treacherous minister, even if the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals come, they will be defeated here."
Zhang Tianyi was also shocked by Xin Ruyan and Murong Haitang's reactions.
At this time, he and several others finally noticed Wu Yuan's extremely gloomy expression. Things seemed to be completely different from what they had imagined.
"Your Highness, are you...aren't you happy?" Zhang Tianyi felt a little numb and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Wu Yuan was not in a hurry to speak, but drank by himself.
At this time, Yan Fei walked in.
Ignoring the tense atmosphere around him, he directly reported to Wu Yuanhui: "City Lord Zhang has a big family and a large business. He has a total of eighty-two wives and concubines. Most of them are folk women. Some were sold by the family, but most of them are Zhang Tianyiqiang."
Snatched it."
"There are more than 300 maids escorting you, which can be said to be quite luxurious."
"The children in their thirties are not good birds. Boys as young as five have already learned how to play with young women. They are no better than beasts."
As Yan Fei told, Zhang Tianyi's life as a local emperor was also revealed.
