I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Before setting off, Jian Shi also expressed his objections. He believed that if Zhu Feng insisted on buying books, he should go to the black market to buy books on sword casting, coin minting, and secret techniques, or bring the advanced handicraft technology of the Great Zhou Kingdom back to the Yan Kingdom. At home, either the rich martial arts secrets of the Great Zhou Kingdom were brought back to the country, but in the end Zhu Feng decided to bring a large number of teaching materials back.

Zhu Feng's reason for doing this is very simple. She believes that the reason why Zhou Dynasty has maintained its leadership and strength among other countries for thousands of years has a fundamental relationship with education. She hopes to bring these textbooks from the Great Zhou Dynasty back to the State of Yan to promote the development of the State of Yan in the field of education. Buying textbooks will not bring any benefits in the short term. It will take more than ten years or decades to see the effects, but Zhu Feng has plenty of patience.

After hearing Zhu Feng's reasons, Jian Shi naturally agreed with Zhu Feng's approach. The batch of textbooks purchased by Zhu Feng can transform the education of Yan State and change the fate of countless children of Yan State. This is a real long-term investment that cannot be viewed in terms of immediate small profits. Zhu Feng can see through this, which shows that her thinking and vision have surpassed many people, focusing on the development of the Yan Kingdom hundreds of years from now. This thinking ability is enough to be qualified for the throne of the Yan Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the front is within the territory of my country, Yan." Jian Shi said respectfully.

"Are you getting home soon?" In the car, Princess Zhu Feng of the Yan Kingdom put down a book in her hand, gently opened a corner of the curtain, and looked at the border line in the distance. She saw flaming clouds on the horizon, as if burning the entire sky. , "The last time I returned to the Yan Kingdom was three years ago. I almost forgot how to navigate the streets of the Yan Kingdom."

Zhu Feng has been dormant in the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years. She last returned to the Yan Kingdom three years ago. That time she returned to Yan State and took another business route. At this time, her eyes became a little dazed. In three years, she knew almost everything about the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she also had an extremely good understanding of the intricate relationships between the various factions. While collecting information about the Great Zhou Dynasty, she also obtained information from the Great Zhou Dynasty through trade. Zhou had grabbed a lot of wealth, but this time, when she left Zhou, she really would never come back.

She proved her excellent strategic vision through the Battle of Youzhou. When she returns to the Yan Kingdom this time, she will eliminate all resistance and formally take over the imperial power of the Yan Kingdom. Just like Jiang Linglong, she will become the empress of the Yan Kingdom and create a kingdom of her own. The prosperous age of Yan State.

However, there was someone in Da Zhou that she was reluctant to leave. The man who had been with her for one night was deeply engraved in her heart and imprinted in her soul, and she could never forget him again. Recently, she heard that Lu Yuan had been missing for more than ten days. She was also worried along the way and could only meditate by reading a book. She was really afraid that she would suddenly become soft-hearted and be reluctant to leave Dazhou and live in Youzhou forever.

At this moment, looking at the Yan Kingdom borderline so close at hand, her thoughts became a mess.

"Your Majesty, why are you looking so sad?" Jian Shi was keenly aware of Zhu Feng's thoughts, "You must still feel regretful that you failed to win over County Magistrate Lu? My Majesty, in fact, you have succeeded. In the world, , there are only a few people who can meet Lu Yuan, and you are the only royal person in the country who has met Lu Yuan, and you firmly supported Lu Yuan and Jiang Linglong in the battle of Youzhou. We have formed a profound friendship with you. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, I believe that Magistrate Lu will still treat you as a friend. "

Jian Shi greatly admired Zhu Feng's vision. Under the situation in Youzhou at that time, if it were him, he might have taken refuge in Su Quan and dealt with Lu Yuan and Jiang Linglong, or he would have been opportunistic, without support or help from both sides, and only pursued his own interests, regardless of Lu Yuan and Jiang Linglong. No matter who Su Quan wins or loses, he will be in an invincible position.

However, Zhu Feng firmly supported Lu Yuan and Jiang Linglong, thus doubling the business of Yueyuehua Restaurant. More importantly, through this method, she became acquainted with Jiang Linglong, especially Lu Yuan. The benefits are too great to imagine. During the Battle of Youzhou, Zhu Feng made every decision in the right direction. This ability was something that no one in the Yan Kingdom had. Knowing Lu Yuan is the greatest wealth, and can even be said to be priceless. Therefore, in his opinion, it is unreasonable for Zhu Feng to be so sad.

"Jian Shi, I am fine. Maybe I am about to return to my hometown after three years of absence. When I see my parents and the sisters in the palace, I suddenly feel a little sad." Zhu Feng replied. At this time, of course, she couldn't openly say that she was thinking of Lu Yuan. After all, the accompanying guards and maids could hear her conversation with Jian Shi.

"Empress, the sacrifices you have made for the Yan Kingdom are all worth it. Be happy." Jian Shi said respectfully. Suddenly, he heard a burst of noise coming from the front of the caravan, "It may be the guards coming to greet us. Madam, please wait a moment, I will go and check the situation first."

Zhu Feng, who was sitting in the carriage, heard Jian Shi leaving on his horse. She began to fantasize in her mind, who would come to greet her today? Is it the ministers of Yan State who have always supported her, the sisters in the palace who have a good relationship with her, or the generals guarding the border of Yan State...

"Hey, that's weird. Jian Shi has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back yet?" Zhu Feng, who was in the carriage, waited for a long time but didn't see Jian Shi coming to report the situation, so he began to notice something was wrong. In addition, she also found that the convoy had become quiet, with no noise or neighing of horses. It was eerily quiet, with only the whistling sound of wind and sand.

"Mother, let me go out and take a look." Her personal maid volunteered to go outside, but there was only a sound of wind and sand blowing by, and the maid also lost her movement. Zhu Feng finally determined that their convoy might have encountered an ambush!
"I am Zhu Feng, Crown Princess of Yan State, a friend of the magistrate of Da Zhou Lu. Who are you?" Zhu Feng walked out of the carriage with a weapon in hand. The moment she went out, her heart suddenly twitched, and she saw a large number of corpses lying strewn on the ground. The maid who had just gone out was also among them, and her throat was sealed with a sword.

If it were just the corpses of the maid and caravan members, she wouldn't be frightened. Near the maid's body, she actually saw Jian Shi. To be precise, it was Jian Shi's head!
Jian Shi's expression at the last moment when his head was severed was clearly visible on his head. His eyes were round and his face was full of anger. Jian Shi was killed, but she was in the carriage without knowing it. The murderer was very cruel and powerful, so she reported her name and relationship with Lu Yuan to see if she could frighten him.

"I thought you were so scared that you wet your pants, but you seem to have some backbone, haha." Along with a burst of laughter, a figure gradually appeared from the wind and sand in the distance.

From the appearance and clothing of this person, it was impossible to tell which country he belonged to. It could only be seen that he was an older man. He was wearing a mask, but some silver-white hair could be seen on his temples.

"You are...impossible!" Zhu Feng exclaimed. (End of chapter)
