That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 213 Qi Wang Xiaobai Enters Jiangdu

In terms of the quantity and quality of the dignitaries, Jiangdu is not comparable to the imperial capital; in terms of the combat power of the garrison, Jiangdu is not comparable to the central capital; in terms of the long history, Jiangdu is not comparable to the capital of gods; Jiangdu is not comparable to Beidu in terms of treasures, but one thing is, Jiangdu is rich and rich. It is almost the place with the most rich people in the world, and it is also the place where commerce and trade are the most prosperous.

Wealth generates harmony, and harmony generates wealth.

Ever since Murong Xuanyin, the dragon crossing the river, was defeated and left Jiangdu, the city of Jiangdu has become more and more harmonious. Except for the impending arrival of His Royal Highness King Qi, which made this harmony a bit eclipsed, everything else is so happy.

The fresh wind of the grassland can't blow the luxury of Jiangdu, and the flood of Qinghe can't drown the singing and dancing of Jiangdu City.

This is Jiangdu.

Following Murong Xuanyin's two defeats, the status of the three Lafayettes above Jiangdu City has become more and more stable. However, there is a news that has spread rapidly in Jiangdu recently, which makes people quite interesting.

The young master of the Sword Sect who once caused the Demon Town Hall to take over the major industries of the Sword Sect in Jiangdu made many people who knew the inside story feel a little weird.

The Bailian Sect and Wenxiang Sect were not very surprised. Tang Yuerong and Mrs. Luo knew that Zhang Xueyao had already started planning for Xu Beiyou to "succeed". For those who have never been in business, it is better to concentrate on improving one's own cultivation, and to subdue the sword energy Ling Kongtang as soon as possible is the right way.

At this time, Xu Beiyou, who has become the No. [-] figure in Jianzong's name, has rushed back to the Gongsun Mansion in the city from the East Lake Courtyard outside the city. Today's Gongsun Mansion is closed to thank guests, because there are too many people who come to seek an audience. , Xu Beiyou was a little caught off guard, and after Song Guanguan was left to deal with it, he brought Zhang An, who had just come over from Zhang Xueyao, through the corridor to the Houfu.

In fact, the slick Zhang An is better at dealing with these various people than Song Guanguan. It's just that Xu Beiyou still needs Zhang An's help with some things, so Song Guanguan can only reluctantly resist for a while.

When he came to the study, Xu Beiyou sat behind the desk, pointed to a large pile of ledgers on the table, and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and now I have a lot of clues and don't know where to start. The people here are still mainly tempting, and dare not be too presumptuous, but these account books are intended to give me a blow, and it seems that they want me, the young master, to know how powerful they are."

Zhang Anping calmly said: "The people below have been used to being at ease over the years. In the past, they only had to pay their aunt at the end of the year. There were many tricky loopholes that could be exploited. Now suddenly there is a young master on top of their heads. They don't dare to face it." If you say more, you will definitely feel uncomfortable in your heart."

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "Senior Sister Zhang made it clear, so according to Sister Zhang, how should I deal with it?"

Zhang An said in a soft voice: "Seeing the tricks, dismantling the tricks, and adapting to all changes with the same."

Xu Beiyou looked at the ledger piled up on the table thoughtfully.

Song Guanguan suddenly appeared outside the study, and said in a calm voice, "Young master, Li Qinglian is here, see you or not?"

Xu Beiyou pondered for a while, and said, "Let her in."

The mansion had its own servants to guide Li Qinglian, and Xu Beiyou led Zhang An out of the study to meet her.

Compared with Xu Beiyou, Li Qinglian has an inherent advantage. After all, she grew up with Zhang Xueyao in Jiangdu, and she has a pretty good relationship with all parties. helper.

Today's Li Qinglian is wearing a pleated ruyi moon skirt that ladies in the south of the Yangtze River love, and she is wearing plain velvet embroidered shoes. Everyone is a mess, and there are several female disciples and maids of the Sword Sect behind her. Gu Pan seems to be the one. The owner of the mansion.

Song Guanguan followed silently, expressionless, obviously very indifferent to this mistress' direct disciple.

Xu Beiyou said with a smile to Li Qinglian: "Why did Junior Sister Li come to my place? Could it be that she is afraid that Senior Brother will not be able to hold back the scene when I am new here, so she came here specially for me?"

Li Qinglian put on a pretty face coldly, "If Master didn't let me come here, I wouldn't want to come here."

Xu Beiyou nodded, and said with a faint smile: "In the final analysis, you and I are brothers and sisters. Back then, master and mother were also brothers and sisters. They worked together to rebuild the Jianzong. From scratch, we have the big and small fortunes of our Jianzong today. You and I should too. in this way."

Li Qinglian was slightly taken aback, then thought of something, her face suddenly flushed, and she said in embarrassment: "Xu, please explain clearly, what do you mean 'you and I should do the same'? Do you still want to marry me?"

Xu Beiyou was stunned and speechless.

——Forty miles away from Jiangdu, there is a cavalry team winding like a long dragon on the official road, with a thousand elite cavalry.

Everyone wears black black armor and a cloak of the same color. They hold iron spears, crossbows on their backs, and knives at their waists. The aura of hundreds of battles that can only be seen after battles is eye-catching.

At the center position of the entire cavalry, there is a magnificent carriage pulled by four pitch-black horses, with clouds covering vermilion wheels and gold and green tassels. There is no doubt that the real prince is driving. The man in the black python robe looked like he was only in his thirties, but he was able to be a prince and accompanied by his own guards. He was undoubtedly from the clan, and judging by the color of the python robe on his body, he was still the most direct descendant of the clan.

A general dressed in black embroidered with dark gold came galloping on horseback, then slowly slowed down to the side of the carriage, and drove at the same speed as the carriage.

The general bowed on his horseback and said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness, the Jiangdu Third Division and officials from various yamen are waiting twenty miles away to welcome Wang Jia."

The person in the carriage said lightly that he understood.

The general stopped talking, clamped his horse's belly, and galloped forward.

The noble person in the carriage was Xiao Bai, king of Qi, who was going to Jiangdu to raise money and food adjustments at the order of today's emperor Xiao Xuan. Xiao Bai, who was closing his eyes and resting his mind, suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Since the master has come, why don't you show up?" A story?"

Suddenly there was a curl of light smoke rising in the carriage, the smoke slowly circled, and gradually condensed into a human figure, a middle-aged elegant man, sitting opposite Xiao Bai, smiling and saying: "Tai Bai, it is a good time to go to Jiangdu this time." People and Ke are all on your side."

Xiao Bai asked: "How do you say that?"

The scribe smiled and said: "The Qinghe River broke its embankment, and this flood has eroded the land of several states, so that the victims are everywhere. Taibai, you are ordered to raise food for disaster relief. This is a righteous name, and it can be called the right time. Returning, but it also made the few women in Jiangdu city tired of dealing with it. Now they probably won't offend Taibai again, so as not to block all their escape routes. It's been smooth sailing."

Xiao Bai smiled and said, "Then I will borrow a good word from Mr.

The middle-aged scribe smiled calmly, "The right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony of people. If there is no Murong Xuanyin in front of you, Taibai will be in great trouble if you go here. It is not surprising that you are planted in Jiangdu City. Now that you have Murong Xuanyin opened the way, and things will go much smoother. But then again, there is never a perfect thing in the world, at most it is only [-]% expected, [-]% unexpected, I came here this time just to talk to Taibai Tell me about the surprise."

Xiao Bai straightened his face, and said solemnly: "You should listen carefully."

Twenty miles away from Jiangdu City, there was already a light rain falling.

The civil servants of the Sansi yamen, the secret guard government yamen, and the weaving yamen, as well as several powerful right governors of the Jiangdu garrison, have all lined up here in order of official rank.

Greeting Wang Jia is second only to welcoming Sheng Jia, not to mention King Qi who is the most king of all kings, so it is reasonable to have such an array.Except for the position of the left governor of the Jiangdu army, which is still pending, all other officials, big and small, are present.

After a while, the light rain turned into a heavy rain.

The raindrops the size of soybeans fell on the many officials who were driving, and the sound was fierce, but everyone had no intention of taking shelter from the rain temporarily, allowing themselves to be drenched thoroughly by the heavy rain, and still standing in place.

Not long after, there was the sound of horseshoes like thunder.

A thousand cavalry came galloping like a thousand rolling thunders.

At this time, the prince's chariot was no longer seen, only a black python robe riding a horse came first.

When the entire cavalry army passed in front of many welcoming officials, they had no intention of stopping their horses, only a flat voice instantly overwhelmed the sound of the rain.

"Enter the city."
