Yan Liqiang's supper was an authentic Ganzhou roasted whole lamb eaten in a restaurant affiliated to the Ganzhou Guild Hall.

In addition to Lu Peien and Shangguin You, there were three other people invited by Shangguin You. The three were also from Ganzhou and were running a business in Dijing. One of them was a fur merchant, one with the surname Wu was a timber merchant, and the other with the surname Wen was a medicinal merchant, fur, medicinal materials, wood, and these things were also things that Ganzhou could make signs outside. In addition to these, although there were many products in Ganzhou, there were very few that could start the business in Dijing.

In this era, people who go out like to gather together. People from the same clan, classmates, classmates, and fellow villagers are most likely to gather together to form complex networks of relationships. Yan Liqiang did not reject this, because unless they are gods who are not in the world, they would inevitably come into contact with these things.

Several people who knew Yan Liqiang's identity were respectful to Yan Liqiang at the dinner table, and even had a bit of flattery. Yan Liqiang was also modest and kind, not arrogant or impatient, and was quite polite and polite to several fellow villagers in Ganzhou. In addition, Lu Peien and Shangguin You were making lubricants on the side, so they were very happy to eat this supper, at least for Shangguin You and other shopkeepers, they were very satisfied.

Having never had contact with these fellow villagers before, Yan Liqiang did not feel how special his current identity was in the Royal Front Horse Staff Centre. But after a dinner today, Yan Liqiang discovered that his current identity was more than just a special one in the eyes of fellow villagers in Ganzhou, and he was simply awesome.

Because according to Zhanggui You, in Ganzhou, there were only three people who could get a job in the Imperial Capital before he came to Ganzhou. One of these three people was the position of the doctor of the Imperial Capital Ministry of War, the chief officer of the Chejiaqing Literature Department of the Ministry of War, the surname Huang, the fifth rank, and the other was the Yuanwailang of the Secretariat, with the surname Cheng and the sixth rank, and the last one was the Imperial Hospital judge, with the surname Ma and the sixth rank. These three people were almost three banners of the Ganzhou people in the Imperial Capital. The three of them not only had a great reputation among the Ganzhou fellow villagers in the Imperial Capital, but also had a great reputation in Ganzhou. Zhanggui You had to visit the three people's mansions every year on the New Year and Festival, and gave some local specialties brought by Ganzhou.

After these three people, Yan Liqiang was the fourth native of Ganzhou who could make a name for himself in the imperial system. The three youngest Ma Yuan in front were all in their forties, so Yan Liqiang was still the youngest among the few people.

Because of my youth, I have a bright future.

Yan Liqiang thought about it carefully and found that if he had not had the relationship between Sun Bingchen, he had not left such a deep impression on Sun Bingchen on the way to Dijing, and he was lucky to make some contributions. If he had just arrived, it would be difficult to get a single official position in a place like Dijing. This is because of everyone's opportunity and luck. Those who have the ability, without this opportunity, cannot get to their position today, and those who have the opportunity, if they do not have the ability, can only miss the great opportunity to put it in front of him. They have just a little ability and opportunity, so they can gain a foothold in Dijing at a young age, which is enviable.

This meal lasted until dark and everyone was over.

Because it was dark, shopkeeper You wanted to send the carriage from the guild to return to Luyuan, but Yan Liqiang did not refuse. When Yan Liqiang left, shopkeeper You, Lu Peien and several shopkeepers from his deskmate came to see him off.

As soon as Yan Liqiang got on the car, Shangguin You handed over a package, "Brother Liqiang, this is a little congratulations from me and several shopkeepers. Even if you congratulate Brother Liqiang for being promoted to the Yingyang Captain of the Royal Mabusi, to win glory for our fellow villagers in Ganzhou, and to wish Brother Liqiang a bright future, this is all our love for fellow villagers, and there is no other meaning. Please don't refuse!"

The small package was pressed on Yan Liqiang's hand, but he didn't feel much weight, only a few pounds. Once Yan Liqiang weighed it, he knew that the heavy weight of the package should be silver notes. Otherwise, the number of honor given to the shopkeepers in the Imperial Capital would be dozens of taels of silver, which would be too shabby, and it would not match the identity of the shopkeepers who could make their business to the Imperial Capital.

Penny Lu smiled aside and said nothing.

"Since it's the intention of several shopkeepers, Liqiang is not pretentious!" Yan Liqiang smiled and took the package. "I usually stay in Luyuan, and my responsibilities are in my place. I don't have much time to come to the Imperial Capital City, and the news is not very good. If there is anything in the Ganzhou Guild Hall in the future, I just need to send someone to Luyuan to send me a letter!"

Hearing Yang Liqiang say this, shopkeeper You and the other shopkeepers showed knowing smiles on their faces. After a few words of politeness, they personally sent Yan Liqiang out of the Ganzhou Guild Hall and watched Yan Liqiang leave in the carriage.

...

"Brother Lu, do you have a wife in Pingxi County?"

After several other shopkeepers also left the Ganzhou Guild Hall, shopkeeper You pulled Lu Peien aside and asked Lu Peien a question in a low voice.

This question is the biggest regret for the Lu family. When he heard about Manager You’s problem, Lu Peien sighed in his heart, but had a smile on his face, "Does Manager You have an idea in his heart?"

Manager You laughed and shook his head again, "I just saw that Brother Liqiang is so young and promising, and I'm a little curious, but if you have any ideas, it's too early. Brother Lu has also known the situation in the imperial capital these days. He fights with dragons and tigers, so how dare others get involved? If Brother Liqiang does not work in the imperial capital, he is indeed a good son-in-law who is hard to find even with lanterns. But because Brother Liqiang has a bright future in the imperial capital, he doesn't dare to take too much presumptuous..."

"So that's it!" Lu Peien nodded, "Brother Li Qiang has no wife in Pingxi City, but..."

"But what..."

"But Brother Liqiang is obsessed with practicing and has a high spirit. He once told me that he would not marry a confidante if he is not a peerless beauty in the future!" Lu Peien said seriously.

...

Yan Liqiang sat in the carriage, looking through the window of the carriage, looking at the brightly lit streets and bustling crowds of people in the imperial capital with an incomprehensible gaze.

Although Yan Liqiang and Shanggui You and others were talking and laughing at the Ganzhou Guild Hall just now, when Yan Liqiang was alone, he could no longer smile at him and pretended to be relaxed. Even every second he had a feeling that all the people and things in front of him were like a fragile colorful bubble, which broke suddenly at some point...

The mysterious face of the Taoist priest named Fang Beidou I met today appeared in Yan Liqiang's mind again...

At some point, a fire rose in the night sky north of the imperial capital, illuminating the sky. Somewhere was caught fire. Teams of defense were blowing whistles, pushing water trucks, holding water guns, and hurriedly crossing Yan Liqiang's carriage, and rushed towards the place where the fire broke out...

Yan Liqiang sat in the carriage, just watching, and didn't care much. After all, there are fires in every city. Since there is already a guard who has rushed over, there is no need to be nervous.

When the carriage arrived outside Xihua Gate, Yan Liqiang found that there were many more soldiers in Xihua Gate at some point, and were strictly inspecting the people and vehicles leaving the city.

When the carriage in Ganzhou Guild Hall left the city, the sergeant outside opened the carriage door directly. He looked inside and outside the carriage, and did not even let the carriage beneath it. In the end, he found nothing, so Yan Liqiang's carriage passed through the city gate.

Not long after leaving the city gate, the sound of thunderous horse hooves rushed up from behind, and then dozens of rhino dragon horses passed the carriage Yan Liqiang was riding on, and rushed towards the road ahead. The riders on the horse were all powerful men in uniform, carrying swords and carrying swords, and were full of fire...

The carriage came directly outside the gate of Luyuan. Yan Liqiang got out of the car, took a piece of silver from his arms and gave it to the coachman. With the help of the coachman's thanks, he walked towards the gate of Luyuan with two small packages.

"Ah, Captain Yan is here, open the door quickly..." Xiaoqi, who was on duty outside Luyuan, saw Yan Liqiang coming back, suddenly smiled and opened the door and let Yan Liqiang enter.

At this time, the whole of Lu Yuan knew that Yan Liqiang was the one that Eunuch Liu liked, so who would dare to be disrespectful?

"Thank you brothers for your hard work!" Yan Liqiang greeted the soldiers at the door politely.

"It should be, it should be!" Xiaoqi, who was guarding the gate, looked flattered.

...

Back in his yard, as soon as he entered the house, Yan Liqiang's eyes froze and found that some of the secret settings he had made in the house had been moved. Someone had quietly come in. In the entire Luyuan, even the two eunuchs around Eunuch Liu, if they were not allowed by him, they would definitely not dare to enter his room at will. Who dared to come in?

Just as Yan Liqiang was thinking about this question, he smelled a faint smell of blood in the room in his nose. He glanced at the room, picked up a sword hanging on the wall, and then went upstairs in an instant.

Without how he looked for it, he had already discovered the intruder.

The intruder was a night walker wearing a black hooded man, lying on the floor of his bedroom, motionless. There was still some blood on the floor of the bedroom, which seemed to have flowed down from the man in black.

In order to prevent fraud, Yan Liqiang did not approach immediately, but came to the man in black who was lying on the ground, and used the sword in his hand to lift the man in black's face away from his face...

A fascinating face appeared in front of Yan Liqiang.

Yan Liqiang was stunned when he saw that face.
