As the city closest to Bazhou, Yongqing City has always been the only way for the merchants of Beiyan to go to Bazhou. However, the market in Bazhou has undergone a sudden change, and a group of Beiyan soldiers pretended to be merchants and went to rob. After the failure, all Beiyan merchants were expelled by Zhu Hanqing. Although some merchants returned home quietly when they saw the situation was not good, many still stayed in Yongqing with luck.

For nothing else, those specialty Nanwu goods were huge profits in Beiyan and no one was willing to give up.

But when they stayed, there was a big problem. No one expected that General Xiao Jin, who had just been transferred to Yongqing before the New Year, had two thousand soldiers and horses, would reach an agreement with Gu'an and Anci, and openly announced that he had occupied Shangjing City. The sixth prince who had just ascended the throne was a pseudo-emperor, and he also sent a letter to the world, calling on soldiers from all directions of Northern Yan to serve the king anyway.

At this time, the merchants who were still in Yongqing were too late to run away. The entire Yongqing City entered a state of martial law from the day of the edict, and they were not allowed to enter or leave. They had always had a good relationship with the government. Some people did not give up and wanted to find the gentry in the city to get through the joints, but they got news that shocked them.

The local gentry and gentry were unable to enter and exit the city gate. Not only that, General Xiao put under house arrest in Yongqing County Magistrate and chopped down eight civil officials who disobeyed the orders in one breath. Among them, it is said that there was a brother-in-law of the new prince, the sixth prince!

Knowing that under such circumstances, it might be even more troublesome to leave Yongqing rashly. After all, the sixth prince who dared to rebel would definitely pursue the matter to the end. Therefore, the merchants who were originally in a hurry to leave were all depressed. Not only did they dare not leave, but they instead prayed to God and Buddha to hope that Yongqing City could be saved. The sixth prince could not sit firmly on the throne and collapsed, so that they would not be affected by the disaster in the pond.

But even so, when the prefect's mansion suddenly sent an invitation to the banquet that night, most of them were nervous and restless, and no one wanted to face the cruel General Xiao. However, the soldiers who sent the letter were left directly and could not leave, claiming that they were ordered by the general and escorted them directly to the evening.

Faced with such a tough invitation, even if he was reluctant, a group of merchants who had already tied up their tails and acted as human beings could only go to the banquet unwillingly. Everyone bit the bullet and gave a generous gift, hoping to spend the Hongmen banquet safely. But when cars arrived at the place and found that there were many local gentry and prominent families who were forcibly invited, the group could not calm down.

Fortunately, the escorted soldiers brought them to the yard like escorting them, and then they left nothing. Everyone immediately formed a group of people based on their past friendship and relationships, and soon they came to an almost consistent conclusion.

That young general who looked like a naughty young man would not intend to pay military expenses to them, right?

Just as everyone was talking and gradually feeling a little indignant, a loud voice suddenly rang out: "General, please invite you to the banquet!"

The guests who were "graceful" on the 20th and 30th looked at me, but when I found that there were already many soldiers standing around with their hands pressing their waists, the situation was stronger than others, but I had to sigh and follow the few soldiers who came out to lead the way without expression. Several local gentry used to be guests from the government, and they knew the situation here, but as they walked, they found something was wrong.

The court is naturally not suitable for banquets, and the backyard is suitable for banquets, which is the pavilion they have in mind. But now they look at the direction of the journey, it is not going backwards at all, but it seems to be heading towards the prison where the prisoners are imprisoned!

Now, they were so frightened that they had to quietly tell others about this discovery. Not long after, some people refused to leave. Some of them even gave up and shouted: "Where is General Xiao planning to take us to the banquet? He is about to go to the prison. Is it that the general is now in a hot banquet? "

As soon as the words were finished, the people who were already worried suddenly started to make excuses. However, a few people who were steady, cautious, or timid as mice did not dare to speak found that the personal soldiers around them were all indifferent like stakes, as if they were disdainful to answer at all. The others soon found that their noise had no response, and their voices became smaller without realizing it.

It was not until the crowd died and the silence came to a death-like situation that a personal soldier who had led the way said coldly: "The entrance to the prison is open, and it is just right to have a few banquets. Moreover, the general has also prepared some fun programs."

What does this so-called Yuxing program mean? Everyone present did not have the fuel-saving lamp, so even if they didn't have a mind, it was nothing more than a little bit of a scene to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. But now people are the slaughter and I are the fish. Even if they want to strangle the domineering General Xiao in their hearts, they still have to shut up and follow the personal soldier who led the way with heavy steps.

Soon, everyone arrived at the Yongqing County prison that they were most reluctant to approach on weekdays. Then they saw several square Eight Immortals tables along the wall, with several bowls and plates piled up like beads. However, the one who held the pot was not the handsome maid who was handsome in Qi Nian, but the fully armed personal soldiers. The pressure was naturally extremely obvious.

Although this attitude was scary, the host who was most concerned about by everyone, General Xiao, who had been to Yongqing for less than half a year, did not appear. Therefore, when he found that the seat had been arranged long ago, not according to the status, but according to the relationship between the people, the local prominent clan who thought he was well-known could not help but feel awkward, and the merchants also changed their faces.

How could General Xiao, who was clearly in charge of Yongqing for less than half a year, be so familiar with their affairs?

Especially when two businessmen who were always facing each other and everyone thought they were mortal enemies were actually divided into one table, another fat businessman who had figured out the rules of today's seats and sneered: "Okay, it turns out that the two have been acting for so many years! If General Xiao hadn't been very careful, we wouldn't know when we would be deceived by you!"

Hearing the guests at other tables whispered, the two businessmen sitting opposite each other couldn't help but look extremely ugly. One of them reluctantly cheered up and deliberately sneered: "What acting is it? Everyone knows that I and this guy have been dying for many years, and they are irreconcilable..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a laugh from the corner, followed by a calm voice: "If it were really a long time of death, and the irreconcilable enemy, he would have killed the other party at all costs, and would they both flourish? Well, I remembered a joke, the prince of Nanwu and the Duke of Lanling County of Nanwu, and the prince's left guard led Yue Qianqiu, and seemed to have said he was a mortal enemy."

Everyone looked in the sound, and while recognizing the General Xiao who was stationed in the city, they were also shocked to find that General Xiao, who was said to be from a royal relative and had a high title, was following another young man like a personal servant. While people were looking at the young man strolling in surprise, a bang suddenly came from a table.

A gentry who accidentally smashed a cup looked like a mortal face. Especially when he found countless eyes gathered on him, he trembled as if he was sieve. After a while, he squeezed out a pitiful smile: "Your Highness, King Jin, the villain did not mean it... The villain just hadn't seen you for too long..."

When most people heard the words "His Royal Highness of the King of Jin, they had already taken a deep breath. No one cared about what the person who accidentally dropped the cup said. No one was too slow to ask who the King of Jin was. After all, it had just been half a year since he left Beiyan, and the name Xiao Jingxian would not have been forgotten so quickly, even if these were just local gentry and foreign merchants.

The sound of teeth trembling, the sound of gasping, the sound of clenching fists, and the sound of swallowing saliva... Although these sounds are not so easy to hear, they are clearly in the silence at this moment, so that some people even lighten their breathing, for fear of angering the legendary moody demon king.

"It's not a good habit to throw a cup when you see me." Xiao Jing shrugged and smiled disapprovingly, "I thought it was throwing a cup as a symbol, and prepared a lot of knives and axes to take me!"

Speaking of this, he didn't even look at the unlucky man who had a pale face like a dead person and said without looking back: "Qianqiu, have you seen enough fun? When are you planning to squat on the tree when guests gather?"

"Don't I want to see how you are going to pretend to be a god and scare people?"

With this sound, everyone saw a figure falling from the sky and landing steadily on the ground. The sharp-eyed man noticed that he jumped off the wall on the other side of the cell, while the keen man noticed the name Xiao Jingxian just called him.

Obviously, the Jiu Gongzi of Yue is well-known in Jinling, and is quite famous throughout Southern Wu. In Beiyan, his fame is also not unfamiliar with the well-informed upper class people. Who else in this world can let Emperor Beiyan personally sway around on the streets of Shangjing, and at the same time, the father and son are matched together?

After landing, Yue Qianqiu of course saw all kinds of gazes. Although he was very annoyed that Xiao Jing had slandered the table first, he rolled up his sleeves calmly and said calmly: "Someone seemed to be saying something like a mortal enemy just now, but I thought of a story. There are two shops in a small town, one with one man and one woman, one with one vicious and irritable, and the other with the warmth of the air, and they were incompatible with each other. Naturally, all the customers who were angry at the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the air with the

He paused as he said that, and then smiled and ended with a sudden smile: "So... they are a couple."

Xiao Jingxian smiled immediately: "So that's it. The couple you said are evil and kind, and they are incompatible all the time. They are just acting for people to see, and they can take the opportunity to do business and make money. Just like the two brothers here at this moment."

As soon as these words came out, the two businessmen who were just divided on the same table immediately looked like earth, and the truth was obviously revealed.

Yue Qianqiu found that Xiao Jingxian's eyes were meaningful. He knew that Xiao Jingxian was ridiculing the dramas he and the fat man had acted in over the years. He smiled and looked away. Back then, he really just wanted to stay away from the fat man, but who knew that the evil fate was too messy. Now he was giving up and too lazy to care about so much.

He focused on these guests today. Seeing that the two merchants who had been exposed through the diorama by themselves were extremely upset, the others tried their best to keep their emotions stable, he couldn't help but smile. However, this smile without any evil intentions made many people's faces collapse. Especially those who had heard of the exaggerated rumors of Master Yue Jiu were even more frightened.

Xiao Jingxian successfully ignited a burning fire in people's fearful hearts: "Okay, let's get back to the topic. Today I asked Xiao Jin to invite you to the banquet. The reason is very simple. I went to the south and now I am back. I have to say hello to outsiders. Some of you are from Yongqing locals, and some are businessmen. I heard that they were all very embarrassed because of the news released by Xiao Jin? If that is the case, from tomorrow, Yongqing City will open the city gate, and those who want to leave will leave!"

If the General Xiao Jin, who is now silent, announced the news before the previous announcement, would everyone be grateful and glad that he met a reasonable person. But now Xiao Jingxian is announced, who would believe it? Who dares to believe it? So, after a long period of embarrassing silence, someone suddenly took the courage to praise it.

"Your Highness King Jin, you are here. Yongqing must be as solid as a god. We dare not leave!"

"Since I'm afraid, not unwilling, it means you still want to leave." Xiao Jingxian saw that the guy who was flattering and slapped his horse was also mourning as the guy who had thrown his cup before. Then he glanced at the silent people again and said with a smile, "I left before, and there were probably many people who scolded me for being traitorous and traitorous, and I wouldn't expect me to come back with a big swagger."

His words were smiling, but no one would really listen to them like a joke. Yue Qianqiu snatched his ears without giving him face, then blew a sigh of relief, followed by Xiao Jingxian's words and said, "Yes, no one expected that you, the traitor, would you still carry the imperial edict of Emperor Beiyan. Today, you don't take out so many guests, will you open your eyes?"

As soon as these words were said, I don’t know how many people wanted to scold the guy who said he was afraid to leave. Even if he might cause trouble after leaving Yongqing City, he might be better than seeing the damn imperial edict! However, before they could find a way to push it, Xiao Jingxian actually took a roll of paper from Xiao Jin's hand beside him.

"The emperor's handwriting, whether the seal is authentic or not, probably, may not be found here. But even so, it's better for everyone to pass it on and think it's just a matter of fun. Of course, anyone who wants to be a loyal minister for the fake emperor in Beijing and destroy this imperial edict may as well give it a try."

"How dare we?" The gentry who said the wrong thing just now finally came to his senses, made up his mind, and decided to make a mistake to the end, and stood on Xiao Jingxian's side to gamble. He stood up with a smile on his face, and then knelt down in front of Xiao Jingxian and raised his hands, "Caomin is the emperor's loyal minister. How can he sit and watch the rebel minister rage? I also ask His Highness the King of Jin to give him a view of the imperial edict."

He thought Xiao Jingxian would hesitate, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jingxian would throw the imperial edict to him like a casual toy. He hurriedly put the thing in his arms, and he was excited and distressed. After finally standing up, he didn't care about the many eyes gathering together, and carefully unfolded the roll of white hemp paper. After a glance of ten lines was swept over, he immediately became energetic.
