From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 60 The situation is stronger than people

Picking up the azure teacup again, picked up the lid and blew a few leaves floating on the water, Yan Jingchen said absent-mindedly: "The young general is leading troops everywhere to fight against the Tartars, so he probably doesn't know the rules of Qingfeng Pavilion. Yan Hong , You talk to the major general, and see off the guests after making it clear."

He lowered the tea lid heavily in his hand and made a crisp sound, expressing his dissatisfaction.The next moment Yan Jingchen stood up, waved his sleeves and raised his legs, and walked towards the second floor.

The words are not speculative, half a sentence is too much, and the twisted melons are not sweet.Seeing the impatient look on his face, Mei Xin directly served tea to see off the guests, got up and said, "It seems that the rumors are not wrong, but that the general has a high opinion of Qingfeng Pavilion. The world is wild, it is true."

After finishing speaking, he went out and told Yunying as he walked towards Meixin: "The ground is covered with pigeon dung, and someone fell down yesterday. The order is passed down and the archers will be on standby from today onwards. Anyone in the nineteenth city of Liangzhou Shoot and kill pigeons when they see them.”

Falcons are used to transmit messages in the Mei family army, especially between cities.Therefore, shooting all the pigeons is not a loss to her, but Qingfeng Pavilion, which uses pigeons to convey messages, is miserable.

Qingfeng Pavilion makes a living by buying and selling news. If there are no pigeons, they can only be given away by others, but people can't compare to birds.No matter how fast it is, it is only two legs, and if she shoots and kills all the pigeons in Qingfeng Pavilion, it will be more serious than seizing Qiuji Bank.

In fact, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the pigeons need to be raised and trained, otherwise they will not be able to deliver the letter.But training takes time, especially if it's not just one or two pigeons.Therefore, what Mei Xin did was undoubtedly a drastic move, cutting off all the roads and all eyes and ears of Qingfeng Pavilion in the nineteenth city of Liangzhou.

Qingfeng Pavilion claims to know the affairs of the world, cutting off all the eyes and ears in Liangzhou is tantamount to slapping them in the face, and also driving Qingfeng Pavilion out of Liangzhou, cutting off their way in Liangzhou.And as long as the Mei family is less than a day away, the people from Qingfeng Pavilion will never even think about stepping into Liangzhou City.

Yan Jingchen already had a headache because of a hangover and was upset and irritable, so he immediately became angry when he heard this.Protruding out of his mouth, he couldn't bear to grit his teeth and shouted in hatred: "Mei-Xin!"

"Bold, you dare to call the major general by name directly, come here, take it down for me!" Yunying roared, and the soldiers waiting outside broke into the door.All of them were armed with sabers, full of murderous aura.

In an instant, the female shopkeeper named Yanhong moved, and the shop waiter also ran down, pulling out the long swords hidden under the cabinet one after another, and blocked Yan Jingchen.

Meixin has never been afraid of the sword, and she has never taken a step back when facing the enemy.Therefore, without changing his face, he looked at Yan Jingchen and said: "Yan Jingchen, the master of the Qingfeng Pavilion, assassinated this general and immediately sealed up all the Qiuji Banks in the [-]th City of Liangzhou. All the proceeds of the seizure will be turned over to the state treasury. Everyone in the Qingfeng Pavilion, whoever resists, will be punished on the spot and killed!"

The nineteenth city of Liangzhou is the territory of the Mei family, and she is worried that she has no chance or excuse to get rid of them, except for the eyes and ears of others hiding in the nineteenth city of Liangzhou.So, she wasn't trying to scare him, let alone stand up, but she was really going to uproot them at this moment.

If it was said that when he looked around in the elegant room of the Juyuan building that day, he just felt that Mei Xin was heroic, then Yan Jingchen really saw it at this moment.The female general who commanded thousands of troops, she was like a treasured sword out of its sheath, showing her sharpness and domineering.

"Pavilion Master, you go first, I will stay and hold them back." The deep voice was full of panic and tension, and Yan Hong's hand holding the hilt of the sword involuntarily tightened.

Hearing the sound, Yan Jingchen smiled, twitched the corners of his mouth as if nothing had happened, and said jokingly: "When the emperor is angry, the corpse is buried for thousands of miles, and when the major general is angry, my Qingfeng Pavilion will suffer. Sure enough, the imperial censor impeached me That's right, everyone in Liangzhou only knows the King of Liang but not the Emperor, and the Mei family is even more powerful here."

Every word of punishment is to say that the master of the Mei family is bullying others with his power and covering the sky with his hands.

In her previous life, Mei Xin would definitely be angry, but after going through so much, her temperament has long since changed.Steady as Mount Tai, indifferent, he opened his mouth and said: "At first glance, I thought that the master's skin was as white as snow, and she was more beautiful than a woman. I didn't expect that she was also a mother-in-law. We are all rough people, and we are soldiers. The most unbearable thing is women. That set. So, you don't have to provoke me."

"Qingfeng Pavilion privately collects all kinds of news from the court's important ministers' mansion, which has already constituted the crime of spying on privacy. Outside the [-]th city of Liangzhou, this general has no control, but in these [-] cities, it is still possible for you to destroy Qingfeng Pavilion overnight. Arrived."

"Of course, Master Yan's martial arts is very strong, so we may not be opponents. But brothers practice Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer. It's not just for fun. Liangzhou has [-] troops in the garrison alone. I don't believe you Can walk out of this Liangzhou city alive."

It's not a big talk, let alone an exaggeration, but the Mei family has been operating in Liangzhou for hundreds of years, and it has already taken root like a big tree.For Liangzhou, no one is more familiar with it than the Mei family, and knows how to close the door and catch the turtle in the urn.In other words, if her Mei family couldn't catch anyone in Liangzhou Nineteen City, then the gate of Liangzhou City would have been broken long ago.

Raising his hand to signal Yunying to do it, Mei Xin turned and walked out, Yan Jingchen panicked and annoyed when she saw that she was serious.However, he has always been flexible, and he is quick to laugh.

"The major general came to Qingfeng Pavilion just to ask for an answer. No matter how much you offend me, you won't be able to kill them all." Having been operating in the Nineteenth City of Liangzhou for many years, it is impossible for someone to give up just because of these two sentences. It's too bad.Besides, what Mei Xin said was right, the imperial court had always been critical of Qingfeng Pavilion, and the imperial censor had also impeached her, but Qingfeng Pavilion never answered the court's affairs, thus avoiding catastrophe.

Considering the pros and cons, Yan Jingchen pulled up his open clothes, then went downstairs again and bowed respectfully, saying: "Everyone says that the major general and the prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, so he probably won't care about the next one. There are too many people talking, and the sword has no eyes. If the major general wants to ask anything, please come to the second floor. I will know everything and tell the truth.”

Situation is stronger than people, but he did not expect to compromise.Of course, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and if he wants to hang out in the nineteenth city of Liangzhou, he can't form a relationship with the people of the Mei family.Not only can't he make good friends, but if he can't make good friends, he has to live with face, otherwise he will definitely not be able to continue this business.

Not proud of winning, Mei Xin said expressionlessly: "A man can bend and stretch, no wonder Qingfeng Pavilion's reputation is getting bigger and bigger."

"Yunying, take out the banknotes and exchange them for two boxes of broken silver and put them in the car. Cardamom, come with me." After speaking, Mei Xin signaled them to put away their swords, and walked to Yanhong's shopkeeper without any precautions. before.
