Chapter 13: The Second Part of the Hongmen Banquet
will say that Shen Xilin returned to Los Angeles again, and he had nothing but a title, and after the city lord of Los Angeles heard the news, he set up a banquet and prepared to "entertain Shen Xilin", but he didn't want Han Qi's brother to be the brother of the city lord, Han Cheng, who had a thousand catties of strength, and Shen Xilin's first confrontation, he actually fell directly behind.
At this moment, looking at Shen Xilin's surprised appearance of the three of them, he didn't say anything, but silently picked up a glass of wine, took a sip, shook his head leisurely, and said intoxicatedly: "This wine is really good, sweet and delicious, and it is a good wine." ”
Han Qi smiled when he heard this, and arched his hand: "The duke is really a mistake, the duke's cultivation is profound, his breath is delicate and long, his appearance is also handsome and extraordinary, and his bearing is extraordinary, at first glance, he is a heroic figure, a talented person." ”
Shen Xilin smiled when he heard this, gently put down the wine glass, gently dusted off his body, and said indifferently: "The city lord is really polite, the city lord has been living in Los Angeles for many years, and the city is well governed, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, so he is a truly talented person, if I am just valued by King Yan, I am fortunate to win the position of a duke, if I really compare with the city lord, there are still many gaps." ”
After hearing this, Han Qi smiled slightly, and said: "Speaking of me, the city lord, it's just an empty shelf, every day when I open my eyes, there are hundreds of guards and doormen, not to mention the many of them, even those officials in the yamen, all the eating, drinking, and Lazar, which one doesn't need me to serve? Plus, alas......"
When Shen Xilin heard this, he pretended to be puzzled, stepped forward slightly and said, "The city lord seems to have something unspeakable? ”
When Han Qi heard this, he didn't speak, he still lowered his head as an embarrassment, but his eyes were inadvertently on Li Jie, who was beside him. Li Jie immediately understood when he saw it, and quickly got up and picked up the wine jug, while carefully pouring the wine for Shen Xilin, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "The Duke is new here, so I don't know, in fact, there are always three heart problems in my heart that cannot be solved." ”
"Oh, please. Shen Xilin said.
When Li Jie heard this, he gently put down the wine jug, sat down leisurely, looked sad, shook his head and sighed: "One is that the two major families of Lin and Xu in the city have more than ten cities in the city, and most of the gold and silver in the city have entered the hands of these two families, so that the city lord has no money to collect, I am afraid that in the future, the duke will not enter, and he will sit on the empty mountain;"
The second is the three major mountains of Weihu Mountain Yuanlong, Erhu Mountain Qifeng, and Baihu Mountain Baijie outside the city, there is a cottage on each mountain, and there are hundreds of bandits in the village, and there are more than 1,000 people, so it is said that the most Weihu Mountain, there are a full 2,000 people and horses, and the merchants in the past have all suffered from poisoning, and my Los Angeles merchants are also miserable;"
In the end, the 200,000 army of King Yun outside the city is eyeing Luocheng, always staring at Luocheng, ready to attack Luocheng at any time, I am afraid that Luocheng will inevitably be ruined. ”
Shen Xilin smiled when he heard this, took a sip of wine again, and said with a smile: "How dare King Yun's 200,000 army enter Luocheng? If that's the case, it is tantamount to starting a war with King Yan, and King Yan's army of 800,000 is nothing more than a decoration, and this heart disease is really unfounded; besides, the two major families in the city, no matter how much they are just a big rich businessman, the so-called wealth does not compete with officials, if the two families are not fools, how can they be so rampant, or the city lord is too merciful." ”
Han Qi smiled when he heard this, and shouted: "Well said, the Duke's eyes are really vicious, with all due respect, since the Duke has been sealed in Los Angeles, he must need a lot of expenses, and now Los Angeles is already miserable, and he is really unable to support it, but the bandits outside the mountain are a good place to go." ”
"Oh?" Shen Xilin stepped forward as if he was puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Let's hear it." ”
Han Qi smiled when he heard this, and said: "Just as Li Jie said, all the things brought by the merchants in the past have all entered the pockets of the three major mountains, please think about it, how much money do these guys have?"
"In this way, these three village owners seem to be very rich. Shen Xilin said.
"It's not just rich, these three village owners, in terms of wealth, I'm afraid that the general king can't compare to the three of them. ”
Shen Xilin listened to the boasting of the two brothers Han Qi and Han Cheng, and smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything, but looked at Han Qi with a light smile on his face, looking at his next words.
Seeing this, Han Qi smiled and didn't say anything, but continued: "If the Duke dares to go to suppress the bandits, how much money will be needed, not to mention an army at that time, even if it is a country within a country, it will not be a problem." ”
Shen Xilin smiled when he heard this, and before he could say anything, he saw Li Jie hurriedly wave his hand and persuade: "Lord Duke has neither soldiers nor money, where can I go to suppress bandits, but it is still possible to collect some money in the name of suppressing bandits." ”
Han Cheng smiled contemptuously when he heard this, and said loudly: "Hmph, I thought I was some kind of hero, but it turned out that he was just a coward."
Han Qi was furious when he heard this, and he got up and drank: "Han Cheng shut up, I'll talk to the duke, where is your turn to intervene?"
After saying that, Han Qi turned his gaze to Shen Xilin's body and said with a smile: "But if the adults are really powerless to suppress the bandits, I can do you a favor, I will pay for the bait, how much I will pay, how much the two families must give." ”
Shen Xilin heard this: "Then how much are you going to come out?"
Han Qi stretched out his hand and made a gesture: "I will give three million silver, the more I will pay, the more I will earn, and when the time comes, I hope that after the adults are successful, don't forget about the villain." ”
When Shen Xilin heard this, he took a sip of wine again, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about it for the time being, it's not impossible to suppress bandits, it's just that I have neither soldiers nor people, and I have neither the courage nor the heart." ”
Han Qi laughed when he heard this, and said: "My lord really has courage, if my lord has no horses and is worried about it, I still have a place to go, but I need my adult to go in person." ”
"The lord of the city gave advice. ”
Han Qi smiled again when he heard this, and stepped forward and said: "There is one in the city, and it is also the only mercenary group in Los Angeles, the regiment leader's surname is Long Feiyu, cultivated to the peak of the Jade Realm, with three thousand catties of strength in his hand, flying eaves and walking on the wall is a piece of cake, there are not many people in his hands, but there are also about five hundred people, but this person has a very strange temper, and no one can easily invite him out of the mountain. ”
When Shen Xilin heard this, he smiled secretly in his heart, but he was still silent, picked up a glass of wine again, raised it high to signal Han Qi, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the city lord's teaching, and the contemptible people are here to pay tribute to the city lord." ”
Seeing this, Han Qi hurriedly picked up the wine glass, followed Shen Xilin and drank it all, and laughed loudly: "My lord is really heroic, three million silver will be sent to the mansion immediately." ”
"It's too early to collect money. ”
"Come on, serve!" As Han Qi's voice fell, a shadow walked leisurely outside the window, Shen Xilin hurriedly clenched his fists when he saw this, and said leisurely: "City Lord, I can't ask for beautiful women." ”
"I don't want money, I don't want beautiful women, what do you want, the city lord's head?" Han Cheng said angrily when he heard this.
Shen Xilin smiled when he saw this, and when he looked up again, he saw a graceful girl floating to the table of the four of them faintly, holding a small wooden box in her hand, and somehow, the girl suddenly stepped on her skirt and fell down, and two diamonds as big as pigeon eggs fell out.
Seeing this, Han Cheng said angrily: "Something that is not angry." With that, he took out a flying knife from his waist and shot straight at the girl, saying that it was too late, it was too fast, only to see a wine glass fly out in an instant, hit the flying knife impartially, and knocked the flying knife aside.
"Flowers have a reblooming day, no one is young anymore, girls are like flowers and jade, how can Brother Han be so easily angry?"
Shen Xilin's voice fell, only to hear Han Qi's voice suddenly sound: "Hahahaha, sure enough, I hate to meet my lord, don't worry, my lord, three million will be sent to the yamen immediately." ”
"Thank you to the city lord and the two, we won't get drunk tonight!"
