After the fire was extinguished, Li Qingyun didn't say anything and left with people.

Although there were some accidents this time, there were many places he couldn't figure out, but the cottage had been burned down, and they couldn't find anything.

The mountain range is so big, it is too simple to hide a few people, and since the goal has been achieved, the news of the arrival of the army will also spread through the people and merchants they meet along the way, so let this matter go for the time being.

The next step is to meet with the city lords of the Thirty-six Cities of the Northland.

But this time to crack down on bandits, Li Qingyun originally thought that it would take a month or two, but now it has only been less than a month, and the cottage is gone.

There's still so much time left, I really don't know what to do.

"Major General, the person you said last time you asked me to check, there is news. At this time, Xu Jiayin came over.

......

Somewhere, in an unusually wide house, an old man with gray hair was walking in with an expressionless young man in black, and no one spoke along the way.

After a while, the old man stopped in front of the door and knocked lightly.

"Come in. Soon, there was an answer in the room.

The young man in black directly pushed open the door and walked in, the old man looked around, then closed the door and left as if nothing happened.

"What's the matter at this time? Don't forget, we're doing business right now. ”

In the shadow of the room, there sat a man whose face was invisible, and his voice was a little low.

"Borrow someone, take revenge. ”

The man in black looked at the man and replied without a trace of emotion.

"Revenge?" the man sneered, stared at the young man in black with amusement, and shrugged his shoulders very funny, "Why should I help you?" But don't worry, we have always been very disciplined, you have done well these days, and the conditions promised to you will not be less. ”

"I don't need that, I know you're also their people, you just need to report it. ”

The eyes of the man in black could not see a single fluctuation, like stagnant water.

"Everyone made it clear before, after the thing is done, each goes his own way, and if you want us to help you now, it will break our rules. ”

The man chuckled disdainfully, picked up the teacup and took a slow sip.

"I know what you're looking for, and only I know where it is. The man in black continued.

Hearing this, the man's hand tightened suddenly, and then slowly let go, and said with a smile: "I think, you have thought too much, we haven't been looking for anything recently, okay, you can go." ”

"Ten thousand miles of sea. ”

The man in black threw out three words quite calmly.

The man didn't speak, slowly raised his head, looked at the man in black for a long time, finally sighed, and said in a deep voice: "I can't be the master of this matter." ”

"I can wait, hurry. After the man in black finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The man knew how to contact him, and it wasn't safe to stay here.

After the man in black walked away, five more black-robed men with masked faces came out of the shadows next to him, glanced coldly at the door, and asked, "My lord, do you want to ...... subordinates?"

As he spoke, he made a motion to touch his neck.

"No, he's not as easy to deal with as you think, just now, along with this letter, hand it over to the Holy Venerable. ”

The man shook his head and handed the letter he had just written to the black-robed man at the head.

"Yes. ”

......

Returning to the patrol city, Li Qingyun asked Zhou Hai to arrange for the soldiers to celebrate, so he went directly to the study, and then locked himself inside.

The news that Xu Jiayin said aroused some of his thoughts, but these things still need to be planned well, and it is not too late for someone to be invited.

I don't know how long it took, Li Qingyun finally finished planning a little, and just as he stretched his waist, someone knocked on the door, and then Zhao Xue'er's voice came.

"Come in. ”

Li Qingyun sighed and cleaned up the messy desktop.

"It's night, aren't you done yet?"

Zhao Xue'er came in with a food box, and Li Qingyun didn't come out at noon, so she was going to deliver food, but Zhao Yun said that he couldn't starve to death, so she didn't come.

"I'm done, I'll do the rest tomorrow. ”

Li Qingyun put some of the things written into the space ring, walked out, and saw that Zhao Xue'er had already set the dishes and chopsticks, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, he walked to her side, and suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.

"It's still our Xue'er who will feel the most distressed. ”

Then, without waiting for Zhao Xue'er to react, Li Qingyun picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them.

Eating is a great joy in life, and if it is not necessary, Li Qingyun will not treat his stomach badly.

"Less poor mouth. ”

Zhao Xue'er glanced at Li Qingyun, but still poured the soup for him.

"By the way, I have something to tell you at night, don't close the door yet, wait for me. ”

Li Qingyun said vaguely while lowering his head to eat.

"Got it, eat slowly, and no one will rob you. Zhao Xue'er nodded.

After leaving, after talking to Yunyin, Li Qingyun ran to Zhao Xue'er.

"What's the matter?"

Looking at Li Qingyun's hurried appearance, Zhao Xue'er was a little funny.

"Of course I'm in a hurry to have a room with you!"

Li Qingyun picked up Zhao Xue'er, threw her on the bed, and then pounced.

Of course, he just messed with Zhao Xue'er for a while, ate some tofu, and didn't do anything else.

"Don't make a fuss, what the hell is going on. ”

Zhao Xue'er's appetite has been completely whetted by Li Qingyun.

"Hmm......" Li Qingyun thought for a while, took a deep breath, and said, "Xue'er, in fact, your parents are still alive. ”

"What!"

Zhao Xue'er looked at Li Qingyun in disbelief and covered her mouth in surprise.

"But, while alive, I don't know where they are. ”

Li Qingyun sighed.

In fact, when he was in Eagle Spinning City, Li Qingyun knew about it, but he didn't know the whereabouts of Zhao Xue'er's parents at that time, so he never dared to tell her.

And Xu Jiayin, who followed him to Eagle Spiral City, obviously also knew about it, Li Zhenyuan didn't let him make a noise, but asked him to investigate in private.

After all, this is a matter of the Jiuling General's Mansion, and many times, if it is lenient, it will inevitably be criticized.

Therefore, Xu Jiayin has been paying attention to this matter, it just so happened that when he was looking for someone in the north a few days ago, he saw Zhao Xue'er's father and mother, but in the blink of an eye, when Xu Jiayin wanted to chase after him, the two were gone.

Xu Jiayin is also very strange, but people did disappear under his nose.

"Don't worry, Uncle Xu said that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are fine. ”

Li Qingyun hugged Zhao Xue'er's hand tightly, and kissed her forehead with some distress.

"I'm fine, it's good that they're still alive. ”

Zhao Xue'er wiped her tears, she knew that her mother must still be alive, since her father and mother didn't come to her, it means that they still have important things to do.

Anyway, she has Li Qingyun, so they don't have to worry about it.

"Don't worry, sooner or later, they will come to you, rest, it's late. ”

"Hmm. ”

......

Early the next morning, Li Qingyun got up, first wandered around the Molin Army and the Pingxiao Army all morning, played with Yun Yao for a while at noon, and plunged into the study in the afternoon.

There are too many merchants in the north, but they are separated, and many items in many places have different prices.

Just like the grain in Jinyan City, because there are no local people who farm, the price is more expensive than other cities.

For another example, the ironwood forest in Tiemu City is divided into different areas, the best place cannot always be occupied by major families, and the northern land still needs to develop, and the resources are all in the hands of a small number of people, which is very unfavorable.

These days, Li Qingyun has always had an idea, he wants to establish a chamber of commerce in the Northland, let businessmen from all walks of life join, and then formulate some guidelines for all walks of life, requiring everyone to abide by them.

As for any suggestions or ideas they have for the Northland, they can come to him through the president of the Chamber of Commerce.

This can not only avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, prevent some merchants from raising prices in order to grab the voice, but also weaken the control of the major families over the Northland, why not?

Li Qingyun has always felt that the so-called family has indeed brought something to the Yaocheng General's Mansion, but they are also a cancer that grows on Yaocheng.

The major families occupy too many resources, but do not pay their due responsibilities, only by taking them down, can the Northland attract more merchants.

Therefore, this chamber of commerce, Li Qingyun must be established.

As for the candidate for the president, he has already thought about it, since they have helped him with such a favor before, and they know the doorways here, it is obviously very suitable.

is in this position, it will become a thorn in the side of the major families, it is a bit dangerous, and I don't know if he dares to sit or not.

At this time, the little black dragon that had not emerged for a long time finally flew out of Li Qingyun's dantian, stretched comfortably, looked at Li Qingyun's frowning, and a trace of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, what do you think? This expression is like stepping on," the little black dragon flew onto Li Qingyun's shoulder, coiled up comfortably, and stretched out his head to look down, "I thought my progress was fast enough, but I didn't expect you to be slow, and, what did you write this?"

In the past few years, it has been cultivating in Li Qingyun's dantian, and now that the cultivation is over, it is finally liberated.

"This is the general framework of the Chamber of Commerce, and some principled issues," Li Qingyun sighed, "You finally woke up?"

In the past two years, he has been a little unaccustomed to this chatter in his ears, but now that he has come out, Li Qingyun is still very happy.

"I woke up, and besides, I didn't have to sleep anymore. ”

The little black dragon nodded, and found that he couldn't understand what Li Qingyun wrote, sighed, tilted his head and asked,

"Do you have anything to eat? pastries, double portions. ”
