After seven years of fiefdom, Li Shimin asked me to return and become the crown prince.

"This stinky boy!"

Li Shimin looked at Li Kuan who kept crying poor in the envelope, and the black lines on his forehead became more and more.

Lingnan was poor, with no clothes to cover the body and no food to fill the stomach? Plague was raging, bandits were rampant, and chieftains invaded....The letter described Lingnan as a horrible place that was so cruel that one could not avoid it.

"Lingnan is too hard, the life of the King of Chu is really miserable!"Wang Fangyi said with empathy, and even his eyes were a little wet.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu went to Lingnan when he was eight years old. It has been several years now. How did he survive these years? He is still a child.

I really can't imagine it.

Lingnan is a place of suffering.

"Humph... is he suffering?" Seeing that his leader of the Baekje Division was also deceived by the contents of Li Kuan's heart, Li Shimin suddenly felt a little relieved.

Wang Fangyi was also deceived, so it was not unacceptable for him to be deceived by Li Kuan.

After reading the letter, Li Shimin took a deep breath and put the envelope on the table.

This kid still portrayed Lingnan so badly. Doesn't he know what he is doing to me? But now, although Li Shimin was angry, he couldn't get angry. He could only suppress the anger in his heart.

This stingy kid, even if he didn't send any precious things, it would be fine to send some tea to his father, but he actually missed it.

"correct...Has any caravan come to Chang'an recently?" Li Shimin was curious. He had traveled all day and night for quite a while. Now that he had reached Chang'an, he should be there soon according to the speed of the Chamber of Commerce.

"Caravan!"Wang Fangyi thought for a while before saying,"A caravan came to the Duke of Lu's mansion this morning, and it seems that there was a little conflict with the guards at the city gate!"

However, Cheng Yaojin did not do anything out of the ordinary. It was also allowed by the court for dukes and earls to do some business. The Baekje

Division was responsible for monitoring all officials. It was not because they trusted Cheng Yaojin, but because of their duty.

"like....Duke Lu emptied out the largest store in Chang'an City for this caravan. This is unbelievable!"Wang Fangyi frowned and couldn't understand it.

The largest store in Duke Lu's mansion was located in the most prosperous area of Chang'an City, with an annual profit of at least 1,000 strings of cash. It was emptied without any warning.

"hehe...It seems that Cheng Yaojin is really going to make a big investment!"Li Shimin smiled disapprovingly. He knew the hidden truth. Things from Lingnan would definitely be popular once they arrived in the capital.

Cheng Yaojin should have collected a lot of Lingnan products this time. Should I ask for some?

Li Shimin rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes.

Wang Fangyi looked at his majesty with his eyes. Is he going to cheat him?

Yiguogong Mansion

"Brother Huaiyu, are you sure no one is coming here?"

The three brothers Cheng Chumo held a few jars of wine in their arms and looked out the door to see if anyone was coming.

"Didn't you invite us to drink? What's the meaning of this? Why does it feel sneaky?"The big black man sitting in the room was a little dissatisfied.

This man was Yuchi Gong's son, Yuchi Baolin.

""Hush~~ Do you think we want to? We three brothers risked our lives to buy my father's good wine for you guys to drink, and you're just like this? Or don't drink at all? Let's go!" Cheng

Chumo said, and made a gesture to leave.

"well...Oh...don't go!" Seeing the three brothers about to leave, Yuchi Baolin stepped forward and stopped them.

The three brothers swore that the wine was the good wine hidden by Cheng Shishu, and they really wanted to taste it.

"Since you won't let us brothers leave, why don't you prepare some snacks to go with the wine!"

Soon, the room was filled with snacks to go with the wine, roast chicken, mutton,...

"Come, try it, try it!"

Cheng Chumo opened the stopper of a wine jar, and immediately a scent of wine spread.

Pour it into a ceramic bowl, it is as clear as water. With a gentle sip, everyone can smell the subtle aroma of wine, which makes people intoxicated.

"Crystal clear, with a mellow aroma, it's obviously a good wine at first glance!"Qin Huaiyu has become somewhat refined under Qin Qiong's instruction. Looking at the clear and mellow wine, he wanted to say a few words in an elegant way.

Yuchi Baolin didn't have so much nonsense. He picked up a bowl of wine and drank it directly. His face turned pale for a moment and then red:"Hiss~~Good wine, it is indeed a good wine!"

"Good wine!"

"cheers!"

"cheers..."

The atmosphere in the room also began to heat up. After a while, they had already drunk a jar of wine and were a little drunk.

If it was ordinary wine, the five of them would have drunk at least one jar, but now they were already drunk after only one jar....

Cheng Yaojin gave the mirror to his wife. Seeing his wife's excited smile, he felt good. He planned to go to the warehouse to get a jar of good wine and taste it slowly. But as soon as he opened the door of the warehouse , he saw the broken wine jar and the mirror....Including the broken one, there were seven jars missing.

He hadn't drunk twenty jars of good wine yet, and only thirteen jars were left.

""Who stole my wine?" Cheng Yaojin shouted angrily, raging like thunder.

After a while, Cheng Fu, who was cleaning the yard in the inner courtyard, rushed over, looked at the furious Cheng Yaojin and asked,"Master, what's wrong?"

"Cheng Fu, did you see anyone take the wine from the warehouse?" Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth, and Cheng Fu was so scared that he trembled.

But Cheng Fu thought for a while before saying,"Not long ago, I saw three young masters each holding two jars and leaving!"

Cheng Fu saw the three young masters sneaking away, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"OK, it is indeed these three brats!" Cheng Yaojin gritted his teeth and said,"Where did they go?"

"It seems to be going to Yiguogong...In the direction of the Duke of E's Mansion!"

Cheng Yaojin was furious. He knew he was in trouble and didn't dare to stay at home.

Don't let me catch these three brats.
