Chapter 2189 Going to Yanyang City Again

Before, Wu Fan had promised that the army coming back from Shanling Pass would be under Peng Chuan's command, so he would not stop Peng Chuan from commanding that army.

As for the army coming from Nanping, Peng Chuan did not ask Wu Fan where they were, nor did he have any intention of seizing the power to command.

"Very good." Wu Fan said, "In that case, I will leave this to you. I believe you will not let me down."

"Don't worry, sir, I will be in the city. I will die first if the city is broken!" Peng Chuan promised.

Peng Chuan guarded Linshui City not only because of his promise to Wu Fan, but also because this was the capital of his country. He must have feelings for Linshui City. How could he be willing to see it being broken by the army of Shuiyue Country?

Wu Fan nodded and said nothing more.

In terms of battlefield command, he is at best a half-baked one, and is no match for Peng Chuan. He was able to defeat Peng Chuan at Shanling Pass before, which was due to a lot of luck, and of course, his trump card, but in terms of battlefield command, he knew that he was not as good as Peng Chuan, so he did not think of interfering with Peng Chuan's command.

In Linshui City, Wu Fan's stay would not be of much use. In the next period of time, the two sides will enter a stalemate. Although Shi Wenhao is eager to capture Linshui City, Peng Chuan now has reinforcements, morale and military spirit, and it is not a problem to resist Shi Wenhao's fierce attack.

However, the main force of the Shuiyue Kingdom's army is still there, and morale has not been greatly affected. Therefore, Peng Chuan has no ability and opportunity to counterattack for the time being.

In this way, the possibility of the two sides falling into a stalemate is very high, and Wu Fan staying here cannot provide much help.

More importantly, he has more important things to do.

Zhao Qi is about to return to Yanyang City!

Wu Fan has to go to Yanyang City first to see the latest situation there.

Before leaving, Wu Fan went to see Pei Yu again. After seeing that everything was normal there, he teleported to Yanyang City.

The last second was full of war, and the next second was peaceful and quiet. Wu Fan even felt a trance.

It has been a while since he left Yanyang City. When he came back again, Wu Fan did not find much change here.

Of course, Wu Fan also knew that this was only because he was just walking on the street and did not come into contact with officials in the court. Otherwise, he would definitely feel the huge changes here.

The last time he came, the old emperor was still there, and the entire Yanfeng Kingdom was under the rule of the old emperor. Although rebels rose everywhere, they were generally under control. With the old emperor, officials in the court, princes in the palace, etc., were also very well-behaved.

But now, the old emperor has passed away, and everything has changed. Although Wu Fan has not been to Yanyang City before, he has been learning about the information here through other channels and roughly knows some things here.

After entering the city, Wu Fan went straight to Zhou Mansion.

Compared with before, Zhou Mansion has changed a lot now. It has become larger and more luxurious, and it looks quite extraordinary at first glance.

Although Wu Fan had never been to Yanyang City, he had always been paying attention to the things here. Zhou Guang would report to him regularly, so Wu Fan was relatively familiar with Zhou Guang's situation here.

With the support of the resources of the Hermit Village, Zhou Guang developed smoothly in Yanyang City. In addition, with the relationship with Li Ziyang, Zhou Guang's development here was smooth. In a short period of time, he had become a wealthy businessman in Yanyang City, and his wealth and status had greatly improved.

"Who are you looking for?"

When Wu Fan arrived in front of Zhou's house, he was stopped by two guards in front of the door.

"I'm looking for Zhou Guang?" Wu Fan said.

"How dare you, can you call our master's name casually?" One of the guards scolded Wu Fan.

Wu Fan frowned slightly, and his voice became a little colder: "Go and inform Zhou Guang, just say Wu Fan is here, and let him come to greet him."

"Wu Fan? Never heard of him." The guard did not do as Wu Fan asked, and still stopped Wu Fan from entering: "This is Zhou's house, not just any cat or dog can enter casually."

Wu Fan was quite unhappy when he saw this.

Just when Wu Fan was about to get angry, an acquaintance came out of the mansion. It was the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion. The housekeeper had seen Wu Fan before. He didn't know Wu Fan's true identity, but he knew that his master was very humble and even respectful in front of Wu Fan.

"Mr. Wu, you are here? Please come in." The housekeeper hurriedly came to greet him.

However, Wu Fan did not rush in, but said: "Where is Zhou Guangren? Let him come to see me!"

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and replied: "Mr. Wu, wait a moment, I will go to inform the master."

After the housekeeper left, the two guards at the door looked at Wu Fan nervously.

Although they still didn't know Wu Fan's identity, from the attitude of the housekeeper, this person was obviously not an ordinary person. They were just the guards of the mansion. If they really offended someone who should not be offended, they would have to bear the consequences.

Soon, Zhou Guang came. He didn't walk, but trotted all the way. After seeing Wu Fan, Zhou Guang looked humble.

"Sir, you are here?"

Seeing Zhou Guang's attitude, the two guards became even more nervous.

Wu Fan nodded and said, "It's really hard to enter your mansion now."

When Zhou Guang heard this, he knew that Wu Fan had been made difficult. He didn't ask for the details and said to the two guards, "You can leave now. Don't come again in the future."

"Master, I know I was wrong."

"Yes, Master, we didn't know he was your distinguished guest. Please forgive me."

The two hurriedly begged for mercy.

However, Zhou Guang was not moved at all: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter."

The two were still begging for mercy, but Zhou Guang was too lazy to pay attention. He gave the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper immediately called the guards in the mansion and drove the two out of the door.

Wu Fan then walked inside, saying as he walked: "Do you know why I am angry?"

"My lord is not used to their attitude towards people." Zhou Guang said respectfully.

Wu Fan looked at Zhou Guang with a little surprise and said, "It seems that you have grown a lot in Yanyang City during this period of time, and your ability to read people's expressions has improved a lot."

"Sir, please listen to my explanation." Zhou Guang hurriedly said, "The interpersonal relationship in Yanyang City is complicated. If you don't have more caution, it will be difficult to survive."

"No need to explain, I understand, and I don't mean to blame you." Wu Fan said, "If you want to survive here, you really can't be too 'simple'."

Yanyang City is the imperial capital of Yanfeng Country. Here, a large number of dignitaries gather. If Zhou Guang is still stubborn, it's hard to say whether he can stay here, but he will definitely not succeed in doing business.

Seeing that Wu Fan didn't blame himself, Zhou Guang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even though his current status and position have been greatly improved, many people are respectful and polite when they see him, but in front of Wu Fan, he still has awe in his heart.
