Chapter 382: The Palace, Secrets, and New Frontiers

Jingzhou.

As the news of the Fu family's promotion to a seventh-rank family spread.

The mulberry garden run by Liu Meizhen in the suburbs also has guests every day. In the banquet hall, all the guests dispersed, leaving only Liu Meizhen sitting at the head of the table.

She was wearing a luxurious crimson dress, her face was dignified and beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, but at this moment she looked a little tired.

After seeing off the last guest, Cuizhi gently pushed open the door of the banquet hall. She was wearing a light green dress, with a clever look in her eyes. She walked quietly behind Liu Meizhen, gently placed her hands on her temples, and began to massage her:
"Mother, you have worked hard. You have been busy with the banquet these days and have not even had time to rest. Now that the banquet is over, you should have a good rest."

Liu Meizhen shook her head.

The Fu family was promoted to the seventh rank.

In the future you will be able to take charge of a prefecture.

This is the real beginning for the Fu family:
"Cuizhi, let me have a look at the gift list sent by the guests."

"Yes"

Cuizhi took out a list from her sleeve and handed it over.

Liu Meizhen took a glance.

But he frowned:
"Cuizhi, is there no one from the Prince's Mansion coming to visit?"

"I heard that the Seventh Prince is out, the Princess is ill, and Ningning is pregnant. I guess there is no one to take care of it, or there is a shortage of manpower, so it is possible that it is delayed by one or two days."

Liu Meizhen didn't believe it.

before this.

She also deliberately released the information that her family had been promoted to a seventh-rank family to create momentum.

There is no way the Prince’s Mansion didn’t know about this.

And even if Ningning is pregnant and it is inconvenient, could it be that her son-in-law is also pregnant?

Also.

His eldest son also works in the Prince's Mansion.

She intuitively felt that this matter was not simple.

She was about to tell Cuizhi to investigate what was going on when suddenly there was an unusual movement from the Shadow Gate mask. She stopped talking immediately. Upon seeing this, Cuizhi immediately retreated. Liu Meizhen turned around and returned to the secret room and closed the magic circle.

A spell was cast into the Shadow Gate mask.

hum!
Fu Changsheng's voice came out:
"Meizhen, Ningning must have encountered some problems in the Prince's Mansion. Please find out what happened. If Ningning really suffered injustice in the Prince's Mansion, bring her back directly."

The sound faded away.

Liu Meizhen frowned slightly.

Sitting in the secret room, he seemed to be recalling something.

After a while.

He murmured to himself:
"Is it early?"

Finished.

His face became serious.

He quickly put on an invisibility cloak.

Coming out of the mulberry garden, we arrived at an uninhabited area and rode on the two-headed, green-eyed giant python all the way east.

Liu Meizheng was originally an alchemist, so the two-headed green-eyed giant python was well fed. It had been promoted from the quasi-third level when Fu Changsheng gave it to her to the late third level. She herself had also broken through to the middle stage of the Purple Mansion. There were bulges on both sides of the left side of the two-headed green-eyed giant python's head, and it had the potential to transform into a dragon.

The two-headed green-eyed giant python flies extremely fast.

Less than an hour.

Then they arrived at an inconspicuous stone mountain hundreds of miles away from the mulberry garden.

Liu Meizhen glanced around with her spiritual sense and saw that there was no one around. She took out an ancient token and entered a spell. A ray of light rose from the token and sank into the stone mountain in front.

hum!
The air vibrates.

Then a gap appeared before our eyes.

Liu Meizhen's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

After several hours.

Liu Meizhen then flashed out from the gap and returned to the mulberry garden. It was bright in the sky:
"Cuizhi, please go to the Prince's Mansion and personally deliver this box to Ningning. Also, please help me deliver this letter to Fan Ge'er. The journey is long, so you can ride on the two-headed green-eyed giant python."

"Yes, mother"

Cuizhi saw that the other person's face was solemn.

Knowing that there must be nothing extraordinary in the box, and that something must have happened in the Prince's Mansion, he nodded quickly.

Cuizhi has already opened up the Niwan Palace. After connecting the upper and lower Dantian, she can start to break through the Purple Mansion. Her cultivation is not too low. In addition, she is escorted by a late third-order two-headed green-eyed giant python. Even if someone on the road has some bad intentions, they will think twice and still not dare to act.

The Prince's Mansion is a thousand miles away from Sangyuan.

Even the two-headed green-eyed giant python took several days.

Standing in front of the mansion gate and looking up at the towering mansion, Cuizhi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. The grandeur of the Prince's Mansion was completely different from the tranquility of the mulberry garden. Everything here seemed solemn and even a little depressing.

She took a step forward and was about to report, but was stopped by the guard at the door. The guard looked at her coldly and asked in a bad tone: "Who are you?"

Cuizhi frowned slightly, but remained polite, and said softly: "I am Cuizhi, the daughter of the seventh-rank Fu family's patriarch. My mother learned that Sister Ningning was pregnant, so she asked me to come and give her the pregnancy-nourishing pill and other things."

Although the seventh-rank family cannot compare to the Prince's Mansion, it is by no means a random cat or dog.

however.

After the guard knew Cuizhi's identity, he became even more alert and said coldly:
"Mrs. Seventh Young Master is ill and refuses to see visitors, but I can ask the housekeeper to bring your things in."

Cuizhi had already been written into the Fu family tree.

In a sense.

She is considered Ningning's legitimate sister. After all, Ningning is also registered under Liu Meizhen's name. Cuizhi tightened the box in her hand, watching someone pass by, and raised her voice a little:
"Since my sister is ill, I, as her younger sister, must visit her in person. I came all the way from Tianyun Mansion, but I can't even enter the threshold of the palace. Is this the rule of the palace?!"

This statement came out.

The monks who were passing by, who had wanted to watch the excitement, stopped involuntarily.

Gossip about the wealthy and powerful.

Especially when it comes to things that are difficult for them to access on a daily basis, they are naturally very curious.

Everyone started talking about it:
"I heard that the seventh young master of the palace just took in a new concubine yesterday. Look, the seventh young master's wife immediately called her family members over. Tsk tsk tsk, it's just as the rumors say, she's really jealous."

"It's not"

"I heard that the Seventh Young Master's wife has a bad temper."

"Since the second year after she got married, she relied on her two sons to be favored by the prince, and she has been doing all kinds of evil things every day, causing unrest in the entire palace. I heard that the princess was so angry with her that she almost went crazy while practicing martial arts."

"Tsk tsk tsk, my mother's family has just been promoted to the seventh rank."

"I can't wait to invite my family over, I wonder what kind of trouble they're going to cause."

"If you want me to tell you"

"The Princess of the County has such a good temper. The Seventh Young Master is just a concubine's son. What right does the Seventh Young Master's wife have to make a fuss? If it were an ordinary family, they would have written a divorce letter and sent the man back to his parents' home long ago."

"."

Cuizhi originally wanted to rely on people outside to force the Prince's Mansion to open its doors.

But who could have imagined this would be the case.

just.

She vaguely felt that something was wrong.

No matter how kind-hearted this princess is, she would never allow a daughter-in-law born out of wedlock to bully her.

Seeing this, Cuizhi took a deep breath, took a step back and said:
"My elder brother Fu Yongfan is working in the government. Please let him know."

The words were not finished.

The guard interrupted coldly:
"Master Fu has gone out for something and is not in the mansion."

The eldest brother is not here either.

Cuizhi's heart sank.

Her intuition told her that something must have happened in the palace.

however.

The palace's protective magic circle was difficult to break even for a Jindan Zhenren, and breaking in by force was obviously impossible. Cuizhi turned and left, and had to think of another way.

Fuyong Garden.

A maid came in quickly from the outer gate. When she reached the gate of the garden, she quickly said a few words to the head nanny. The head nanny's eyes turned cold:
"You Wait"

Finished.

He turned around and rushed to the main door like a gust of wind.

Lift the curtain.

She couldn't help but slow down her steps. On the chaise longue in the main room, the princess was lying on her side, dozing off:
"Madam, someone from the Fu family has come. It is Cuizhi, the sister of the Seventh Young Master's wife. Like the Seventh Young Master's wife, she is also registered under the name of the Fu family's mistress, but Cuizhi is an adopted daughter. The guards followed your instructions and did not let the person in."

Upon hearing this, the Princess slowly opened her eyes, but a fierce look flashed in the depths of her eyes.

Upon seeing this, the head nanny reached out and helped the person up.

There is some worry between his eyebrows:
"Madam, the Fu family suddenly sent people here. If they find out something, I'm afraid... Do you think we should speed up? After all, the prince is going to the East Wilderness and may turn back at any time."

After Cuizhi came out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion, she wanted to go to the nearby Qi Wangcheng to find out some information, but she found that after walking a few steps, she vaguely felt that someone was following her. After staying under the name of Liu Meizhen for so many years, she still had this anti-detection ability.

He snorted coldly.

He immediately put on the invisibility cloak.

He immediately turned around and rushed in the opposite direction of Qi Wangcheng.

After a cup of tea.

After realizing that the person following her had been shaken off, she chose a remote place to hide. After setting up a secret formation, she looked at the letter and box in her hands and was in a dilemma for a moment.

This is the Prince's Mansion.

From the current perspective, I am afraid that I won’t be able to get in at all.

Also.

The people in the Prince's Mansion have already set their sights on her. It would be impossible for her to find out any information. If she accidentally loses the things her mother entrusted to her, it would be even more troublesome:
"It seems we can only go back to the mulberry garden!"

Since there is nothing I can do.

The only thing I could do was to return as soon as possible and inform my mother of the situation.

The decision is made.

Cuizhi immediately put away the formation.

After riding on the two-headed, green-eyed giant python, they rushed back to the mulberry garden at full speed day and night without stopping.

fortunately.

In this process.

And was not blocked.

When she returned to the mulberry garden, it was midnight. The situation was urgent, so she did not dare to delay and immediately met with Liu Meizhen:
"Mother, there is something fishy going on in the Prince's Mansion!"

Liu Meizhen looked normal.

Ding Ding Road:
"Tell me everything you saw, don't miss any details."

"Yes, mother"

Cuizhi organized her speech on the way back.

He said it quickly.

the end.

Opening:
"Mother, I'm afraid that if you go to the Prince's Mansion in person, there is a chance that you will see Sister Ningning."

“I can’t see him even if I go.”

Liu Meizhen tapped the table regularly with her index finger.

Cuizhi was a little anxious when she heard this:
"Mother, if that's the case, should we tell father about Sister Ningning's situation?"

Fu Changsheng has many children, but he only has three daughters. Except for her, the adopted daughter, each of them is protected like a jewel in the palm of his hand. If they knew that something was wrong with Sister Ningning in the palace, they would probably take the teleportation array immediately and break into the Prince's Mansion overnight.

Liu Meizhen shook her head:
"The East Wasteland is in turmoil, your father cannot leave easily, I have my own arrangements for this matter."

"Yes, mother"

"Cuizhi, I will be away from Jingzhou for a while. You will be in charge of the mulberry garden."

Less than ten days have passed.

Yaoyao, Fu Yongyi and Fu Changlei were teleported from Jingzhou to Jingzhou City.

Come out from the teleportation hall.

A burst of abundant spiritual energy came over me:

"This concentration of spiritual energy..."

Yaoyao was a little surprised.

It is much thicker than the spiritual vein in their Yunshan County fiefdom.

Take a closer look.

However, the streets in Jingzhou City are wide and clean, with shops lining both sides.

Compared with the shops in Wanning Market in Huainan Prefecture, the buildings here are more simple, large and exquisite, all of them have flying eaves, pointed corners, carved beams and painted buildings.

In the distance, a towering city lord's mansion stood in the center of the city, with a faint light flickering on the top of the tower, as if announcing to the world the city's strength and majesty.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going.

There is a huge flow of people.

Also.

From time to time, one can see one or two Purple Mansion masters in a hurry, and occasionally one can even sense an aura more powerful than that of the Purple Mansion:
"It's worthy of being called Jingzhou City!"

Yaoyao secretly smacked her lips.

Compared to the desolation of the Eastern Wilderness, this place seems like another world.

The three of them walked slowly along the street, hearing the shouts of vendors, the conversations of monks, and the sounds of bells and drums coming from afar.

The three of them had just taken a few steps when they heard a familiar voice:

"Yongyi, Uncle Changlei, Yaoyao!" It was Fu Yongshang who received the message from Fu Changsheng.

Knowing that Yaoyao and the others were coming, he had been waiting for them for a long time.

He was wearing a green robe with an exquisite jade belt tied around his waist, and his eyes showed a calm and capable look. Although he was only at the peak of the foundation building stage, he was already a standout among the Yong generation of the Fu family.

Fu Yongshang walked up to the three people and bowed respectfully, with a tone that was somewhat intimate and cautious.

After all, Yaoyao and the other two have already reached the Purple Mansion.

Fu Yongshang smiled and said, "Yaoyao, did you have a smooth journey?"

Yaoyao nodded and said, "It went very smoothly. The teleportation array sent us directly to Jingzhou City, which saved us a lot of time. Brother Yongshang, Jingzhou is really magnificent."

Fu Yongyi also said: "Yes, the spiritual energy in Jingzhou City is indeed abundant, much stronger than our Jingzhou."

Hearing this, Fu Yongshang smiled slightly and said, "After all, Jingzhou City is the core of Jingzhou Prefecture, so the spiritual energy is naturally rich. Come on, I'll take you to our Fu family's shop, and then we can talk about other arrangements."

After that, Fu Yongshang led the three people to continue walking along the street. The shops on both sides of the street were full of various spiritual medicines, magic tools, and talismans. The street was bustling with people coming and going.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Fu Yongshang stopped in front of a magnificent building. The building was three stories high, with flying eaves and carved beams and painted buildings. On the door plaque were written four big characters "Fu's Business", the characters were vigorous and powerful, revealing a sense of majesty.

"This is our Fu family's shop in Jingzhou City." Fu Yongshang pointed at the door plaque with a hint of pride in his tone.

Yaoyao looked up and saw people coming and going in front of the shop, and the business was quite prosperous. Inside the shop were various magical medicines, magic tools and talismans, which were dazzling and dazzling.

Fu Yongshang led the three people into the shop. When the shop assistants saw Fu Yongshang, they all bowed respectfully and said, "Elder Shang!"

Fu Yongshang nodded and took the three of them to the second floor, which was a private room specially prepared for VIPs and was decorated very elegantly. Fu Yongshang asked the three of them to sit down and asked the waiter to serve spiritual tea and snacks.

Yaoyao hasn't seen her mother for many years.

After seated.

He couldn't wait to say:
"Brother Yongshang, I want to go to the mulberry garden in the suburbs first."

Fu Yongshang shook his head.

Sorry:
"The mistress is out for something and is not in the mulberry garden."

"But what did you say? When will you return?"

"never"

Yaoyao felt a little disappointed when she heard this.

Fu Yongshang continued:
"But before the mistress left, she sent me a message saying that the head of the family has decided to select the prefectures and counties in Wuzhou that were newly opened by the imperial court as fiefdoms. Now there are three newly opened prefectures and counties in Wuzhou that have not been granted, namely Liuzhou Prefecture, Guilin Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture. The mistress left a message for the three of you, saying that you should go to Huizhou Prefecture first to take a look. If it is suitable, you can ask the imperial court to grant the title."

talking.

Fu Yongshang waved his sleeves.

A scroll slowly opened.

This is part of the topographic map of Wuzhou:
"Wuzhou was originally the land of a sect. After the imperial court conquered it, all information was strictly prohibited from being leaked for the sake of confidentiality. Although this topographic map is crude, it took me a lot of effort to get it."

Fu Changlei frowned.

In other words.

The affairs of the fiefdom will be handed over to the three of them.

For a while.

He felt a great sense of responsibility.

before this.

He has never taken charge of such a big thing personally.

Fu Yongyi on the side was eager to try:
"I heard that the land in the far west is rich in resources and has many minerals. If that's the case, Uncle Lei, it's better for us to set off as soon as possible."

If we could discover one or two mineral veins for the tribe.

Then Yu Lian, as well as Zi Qian and the other spiritual objects that helped them break through the Purple Mansion, now had a place to go.

Also.

The eldest son is currently in the late stage of foundation building.

As a father, he also has to make preparations first.

Thinking like this.

Fu Yongyi seemed a little more urgent.

Yaoyao shook her head:
"Once the title is granted, we will have to set up a mountain protection formation in the fiefdom. I suggest that we purchase this formation in Jingzhou City first. Otherwise, it will be too much trouble to go back and forth."

Look at the map.

The distance between Wuzhou and Jingzhou is even farther than that between Jingzhou and Jingzhou.

Fu Yongshang heard this and smiled:
"Yaoyao, you don't have to worry about this"

"Although Wuzhou is newly established, it has also established a teleportation array with Jingzhou. The cost of traveling back and forth is at most a few spirit stones. You can go first. As for finding a mountain protection array, leave it to me."

Fu Yongshang is a business genius.

He also stayed in Jingzhou City for several decades.

It is indeed most appropriate for him to purchase it.

"Okay, then I'll listen to Brother Yongshang."

Yaoyao didn't insist.

Fu Changlei pondered for a while, then took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Yongshang:
"Yongshang, can you help me look at the materials above? Do we have them in our store?"

Fu Yongshang took it and took a look.

All of them are materials for making talismans.

The big package said:
"Uncle Chang Lei, don't worry. Even if you don't have it, I will try to get it for you. You can take a rest for a while. I will be back in half a day."

After getting up.

Only then did I remember to ask Fu Yongyi and Yaoyao if they needed to purchase anything.

Both of them shook their heads.

Wait for someone to leave.

The three of them began to sit cross-legged with their eyes closed in meditation.

really.

Less than half a day.

Fu Yongshang then went upstairs and handed the prepared storage bag to Fu Changlei:
"Uncle Chang Lei, please check carefully, is there anything you missed?"

Fu Changlei took it and scanned it with his spiritual sense. He saw that he had all the materials he needed to refine the [Heaven-shaking Hammer], [Heaven-prisoning Talisman] and the [Thunder-inducing Talisman] that Fu Changsheng later taught him. While he was impressed by Fu Yongshang's ability to do things, he was also somewhat shocked by the rich products of Jingzhou. When he was riding on the teleportation array, he searched around Huainan Prefecture, but he could only barely get together one or two common materials.

This is the case even in Jingzhou.

The prosperity of the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is unimaginable.

He slapped the storage bag, and a flash of light appeared, and then a box floated towards Fu Yongshang:
"This is a third-grade, top-grade talisman that I refined. Yongshang, please take a look and see if it can offset the cost of the materials on my list."

At Fu's house.

It’s always a one-time thing.

Separate public and private matters.

This was decided later by the elders' meeting, so Fu Changsheng would have an extra private treasury. If the clan needed anything, when paying from his private treasury, clear records had to be kept.

Fu Yongshang opened the box and scanned it with his spiritual sense, and exclaimed:
"Uncle Chang Lei's talisman-making skills are truly amazing. All the talismans are of top quality. If there are any extra spirit stones left after selling them, I will put them in your name, Uncle Chang Lei."

After some pleasantries.

The four of them had a meal at Yunxianglou.

Early the next morning.

Fu Yongshang personally sent them to the teleportation hall.

There are nearly a hundred teleportation palaces, leading to different locations, and each palace has a Zifu in charge.

The newest one has the word "Wuzhou" prominently hung on it.

When Yaoyao saw this scene, she had some ambitions in her heart:
"It would be great if the clan could build teleportation arrays in every stronghold in the future!"

but.

The imperial court did not reveal any information about the construction principle of the teleportation array, and the confidentiality level was several levels higher than that of the Purple Mansion spiritual object.

Yaoyao swore secretly in her heart.

When the clan becomes wealthy in the future, they will ask their father to approve the dismantling of a teleportation array for research. As long as they can analyze the structural principle, they can build their own. However, when she had this thought, she felt strange, why no one from the other seventh-grade families had this idea:
"Could it be that there is a secret hidden in this teleportation array that cannot be learned by stealth?"

Therefore.

Wait until you enter the temple.

She observed the teleportation array more attentively.

This look.

But he frowned:
"I see!"

Even the teleportation array managed by the imperial court itself was set up with an array pattern that would automatically self-ignite once it disintegrated, obviously because it did not want other noble families to learn from it:
“It’s true”

The imperial court obviously used this measure to control the major families.

Fu Yongshang bowed to the old man in charge of the teleportation array:
"Master You, three of my clansmen want to go to Wuzhou. Please excuse me, Master."

Liu Meizhen had already spread the news of the Fu family's promotion to the seventh rank throughout Jingzhou.

Therefore, Master You, who always looked indifferent, softened his attitude a little:
"The Wuzhou teleportation array requires five people to activate. Of course, if you are willing to pay for the teleportation of the other two, that is another matter. In addition, the cost of teleporting to Wuzhou is 10,000 low-grade spirit stones per person."

Fu Yongshang was stunned for a moment.

There was no such rule before.

And the price has obviously increased a lot.

this.
That’s 30,000 spirit stones for three people.

It's not something that ordinary people can afford.

Master You saw this and explained:
"This is the new regulation issued yesterday."

For things like this, if you ask around a little, you'll know whether it's true or not, and you can't fool anyone.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yongshang immediately backed out.

Twenty thousand extra spirit stones for no reason.

This is the profit that all shop owners have earned after working hard for one or two months.

Fu Yongshang bowed to Master You:
"Master You, let's not take the bus for now. Let's discuss this first."

"Um"

When Master You heard this, he secretly cursed him as a poor bastard in his heart.

It's just an extra 20,000 spirit stones, but he's still searching for them. Fu Changlei and the other two are all Purple Mansion spirit stones.

The Fu family is indeed from a remote place. Even though they have been promoted to a seventh-rank family, they still have a sense of poverty.

Although I despise it in my heart.

However, Master You showed no expression on his face and simply closed his eyes and meditated.

Coming out of the teleportation hall in Wuzhou, Fu Yongshang immediately communicated with the three people:
"Uncle Chang Lei, I heard that the Lei family also intends to go to Wuzhou in the near future. How about I contact the Lei family?"

The daughter of the Lei family married into the mansion of the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Young Master born to them is Ningning's husband, so the Lei family and their Fu family are considered relatives by marriage.

Fu Changlei shook his head immediately:
"Before I came here, I heard the head of the family mention that the Lei family has also been promoted to a seventh-grade family, but the fiefdom has not yet been decided. Now there are only three places left in Wuzhou that no one has chosen. I don't think it's necessary to save these 20,000 spirit stones."

If it's too late.

The mistress must be regretful that Huizhou Prefecture, which she had her eyes on, was picked by someone else first.

after all.

Once selected.

That prefecture will become the focus of the Fu family's future development and will be directly related to the development in the next hundred years.

Yaoyao and Fu Yongyi on the side also nodded in unison.

Seeing this, Fu Yongshang was reluctant to persuade him any further.

After a pause, he said:
"Okay, Uncle Chang Lei, wait a moment. I'll bring two smarter guys from the shop over to you. When we get to Wuzhou, they can help you run errands."

As a businessman.

Fu Yongshang’s principle is not to waste a penny.

Wait for him to leave.

Yaoyao covered her mouth and smiled:
"No wonder my father trusts Brother Yongshang so much"

Fu Yongshang has been doing business for so many years, and the amount of spirit stones he has traded is not a small amount, but he still keeps his original intention, which is really rare.

just.

Fu Yongshang has been in the business world for many years.

However, it is difficult to calm down the desire to practice.

but.

Fortunately, the other party still has a hundred years to live, so there is still a chance.

Fu Yongshang used the Light Body Technique and returned to his shop at an extremely fast speed, leaving only the elderly clerk outside to solicit business. He called the rest of the young people to the backyard, cast a spell on the formation, and after the formation light curtain rose, he said:
"Every one of you here has grown up under my watch. You have followed me for so many years, but I have not been able to find a good way out for you. Now, there is a great opportunity before you. Are you willing to go to Wuzhou?"

The guys on the field.

They all graduated from the Business Department of Fu Family Wangyue Academy.

After listening to the first half, they were all very excited, but when they heard that they were going to Wuzhou, they subconsciously looked at each other, and then lowered their heads in unison.

Newly established in Wuzhou.

In terms of security, it cannot be compared with Jingzhou at all.

On the Jingzhou side, there is a border barrier, and the Jindan Zhenren from the far west cannot come over. So although there are some minor fights on the border of Jingzhou, the whole place is peaceful.

Went to Wuzhou.

That would mean being truly exposed under the sect's eyes.

A member of the clan has just been promoted to the seventh rank.

The shop business is booming.

There was no need for them to risk their lives and go to Wuzhou.
