Lan Ling and Yang Jian sat down in the living room behind the Limin Store. The table was prepared with good wine and food. Lan Ling really fulfilled her promise. Qian Duoduo, the head of the chamber of commerce, made a table of mountain delicacies and wild game br        />

The wine and food were all served. Lan Ling patted her chest while slapped her chest and said, "Brother Yang, you scared me just now!"

Yang Jian felt a bitter face when he heard this, and grinned: "I'm not kidding, serious!"

"Uh..." Lan Ling pretended to be a little stunned, and then said in a pretended ignorance: "Brother Yang is really good at joking. You are the son of the dignified general of the Shi Duchy Kingdom. You have a noble status. How can you hug me... and need to seek care from others?"

Although I have never heard of the word "hugging the thigh", he guessed the meaning of Lan Ling's intelligence and Yang Jian's actions.

Yang Jian sneered in his heart when he heard this. Everyone knew his situation. Lan Ling had obviously studied him, but now he was doing this, which made him more clear that the other party must have some plans for him.

Without a look on his face, Yang Jian curled his lips bitterly and said helplessly: "Brother Lan is not a local. If you don't understand the situation, it's okay, hey..."

With a sigh, Yang Jian picked up the wine glass sadly and said, "Don't say these! Come on, Brother Lan, thank you for your unyieldingness and willing to condescend to me. I will toast you for this glass of wine!"

"Okay, drink." Lan Ling curled her lips lightly, picked up the wine glass and touched Yang Jian lightly. After a while, the friendship between the two was as good as a brother, and of course, this was just the surface.

After eating a meal for more than an hour, Yang Jian always wanted to test the other party's origin and get close to his own goals without any trace. Lan Ling was able to deal with it easily and deliberately get closer to him. Even Yang Jian admired this kind of communication ability and mind.

The full moon has passed the sky, the wine and food have already cooled down, and I have drunk a lot of wine. The beautiful face of Lan Ling is covered with red clouds. Even Yang Jian, who is disgusted in his heart, is a little dazed.

"Brother Yang, it's late at night. Why don't you rest here tonight?"

"Okay." Yang Jian nodded in agreement without hesitation. He wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.

As for the danger?

In Yang Jian's opinion, it does not exist for the time being.

After all, if the other party was going to be unfavorable to him, with his strength, he would have been out of nowhere. Even if the other party only had to make some moves in the food and drink just now, he would not have lived to this day.

"Come!" Lan Ling raised her voice and called out the door. An servant immediately pushed the door and bowed and said, "Second Young Master, what are the instructions?"

Lan Ling pointed to Yang Jian, who was slightly drunk, and said, "Take Mr. Yang down to rest."

"Yes!" The servant responded, stepped forward and helped Yang Jian, who was shaking his body, up, and said softly: "Young Master Yang, please come with me."

"Yeah." Yang Jian squinted his eyes and nodded as if he was confused. Then he patted Lan Ling on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Lan, I'll go to rest first, and I'll talk to you tomorrow!"

"Okay." Lan Ling responded with a smile and kindly, and then reminded the servant: "Take good care of Mr. Yang."

"yes."

Yang Jian and the servant had just left, but the middle-aged Qian Duoduo walked in.

"Young Master, although this Yang Jian is the eldest son of the General's Mansion, he is not even as good as a slave. What's the point of making friends with him like this?" Qian Duoduo was very confused. The merchant was pursuing profits. He was a standard and qualified businessman. Even making friends was like doing business, without profits and not doing anything.

Lan Ling laughed and shook her head when she heard this: "Uncle Qian, to be honest, although I just like you, a businessman who is not profitable, but I don't like it." After a pause, he just smiled when he saw Qian Duoduo, and did not care. He stopped talking, but asked a question that was not related to his question: "Have Uncle Qian heard of the 'Canglan Empire'?"

"Canglan Empire?" Qian Duoduo frowned when he heard this, thought seriously, and then shook his head and said, "I only know that the seven empire-level forces of Tianzhou, Tianmen of Tianzhou, Yizhou's Yihuang Palace, Ancient Sword Empire, Knife Empire, Break the Emperor of the Knife Empire, Cross the Ten Thousand Buddha Sects, Demon State, and Cangmang Zhou's seven empire-level forces are in charge of the seven states. This "Canglan Empire" has never been heard of."

Lan Ling smiled without surprise when she heard this and said softly: "In the seven states, the empire is the supreme empire. It is actually the seven major forces, Tianmen, Yihuang Palace, Ancient Sword Empire, Sword Emperor Empire, Wanfo Sect, Heavenly Court, Cangmang Empire, and the subordinates of all major forces, all of which are continued with the system of the kingdom, and under the kingdom, there are even more humble principalities."

"However, whether it is a principality, a kingdom, or the seven empire-level forces, they are actually divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower levels. For example, the predecessor of the Hundred Wars Kingdom was just a mere low-grade kingdom. Now it is divided into four, making the four countries of Shi, Lan, Wu and Rui become low-grade principalities, and the bottom of the bottom."

"Even if it is the peak existence of this Cangmang State, the Cangmang Empire is just a low-level imperial power. It is much weaker than the other six states, and is even more different from the Tianzhou. However, have you ever known that in fact, a long time ago, this vast land was not called Cangmang, but...Canglan!"

"This..." Qian Duoduo was trembling when he heard it. Because of the different levels, these were things he had never heard of, and he didn't know that the forces in the world were actually divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower.

He hesitated for a moment, although he knew that as a qualified subordinate, Qian Duoduo could not help but curiosity in his heart and asked: "Young Master, what do you mean is that the original ruling force here is actually called the 'Canglan Empire'?"

"That's it." Lan Ling nodded with her eyes shining, and said in a somewhat fanatical tone: "The former top-level imperial forces firmly suppressed Tianzhou's transcendence for more than two thousand years! But for some reason, civil strife occurred, causing the royal family to be divided into three branches and compete for power and profit. A few years later, all the emperor's lineage was extinct, and the vassal kings became the master, and from then on, Canglan became vast."

"There is such an empire!" Qian Duoduo was shocked and his curiosity was completely burning. He asked urgently: "What the young master said is that the royal family is divided into three branches, and the emperor's lineage is easy to understand. The vassal kings think they are foreign clans of the royal family for more than a generation. The endings of these two factions, but I don't know what the third branch is there?"

"This is the point." Lan Ling's eyes flashed: "Canglan Empire was successfully usurped by the vassal kings. The emperor's lineage was extinct and he never let go of the baby for several days. However, things always happened. The prince, who was already seven years old at that time, was rescued by the prince, led by Yang Huan, who had always been in trouble. In the chaotic situation where the vassal kings entered the imperial capital to seize profits from each other, he left with the prince's prince and most of the treasury gold and silver treasures, trying to make a comeback."

"However, the accident happened again. Before the prince's lineage and the prince settled down, the prince was unfortunately assassinated successfully. Prince Yang Huan was depressed because of this. He said that there was no lord of the righteous king, and that the country could be restored but the country would no longer be restored. This means that without a legitimate king, even if the country could be recovered, the rebuilt country would no longer be the Canglan Empire in the past."

"The reputation of King Zhongwu Yang Huan is good, and his loyalty is moving the world. When the prince saw that the prince was dead, he begged Yang Huan to take over the treasure and retake the empire. However, Yang Huan was already discouraged and scattered the gold and silver treasures to his subordinates as appropriate, and then he took the remaining wealth, treasures and the prince's corpse from then on."
