At night, the Jiang disciples who were surrounding the gate of the Liu family's mansion gradually withdrew.

The disciples held torches and walked through the streets and alleys of Anjing City, creating a unique scenery.

And the key to this scenery is the irrepressible joy of the people along the street.

The conflict was resolved, and the Jiang and Liu clans did not fight.

Many people even squeezed into the queue of Linzi and hugged their relatives, after all, many of their relatives were outer disciples in the Jiang and Liu clans' mansions, and if they really fought, no one could guarantee who would die or live.

The shopkeeper stood at the door of the inn, his hands folded, and the words in his mouth.

When I heard it closer, I knew that he was thanking God for his blessing.

When Qin Lin came back, Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly stepped forward, his face full of gratitude.

"Gongzi Qin, thank you so much, I listened to everything, fortunately, you arrived in time with the merchant team, and you were able to stop the conflict between the Jiang and Liu clans. The shopkeeper said.

Qin Lin waved his hand: "It's all a matter, it's a matter of effort, besides, my post house is about to settle in Anjing City, and it is also beneficial to me to ensure the peace of Anjing City." ”

"It can't be a problem. "The other diners in the inn are also very grateful to Qin Lin.

The diner said: "Qin Gongzi may not know, a few years ago, when there were some conflicts between the Jiang and Liu clans from time to time, people often died, and the younger generation of our Anjing City basically worshiped under the Jiang and Liu clans, if they fought, the children of our common people died. ”

The people have complaints about Jiang and Liu, but no matter what, Jiang Liu is a martial arts clan after all and belongs to the aristocratic class, so what can the people do about Jiang Liu.

Tonight, the people of the whole city were originally terrified of the Jiang Liu conflict, and many people were going to die again. And now that the conflict has been resolved, the people seem to have returned from hell to the church, eager to have a carnival.

At least for now, many people have crowded in front of the inn, and many people have gone to the construction site, and they want to express their gratitude to Qin Lin and the merchant team.

Qin Lin also took advantage of this and took out the cessation agreement of the Jiang and Liu clans in a high-profile manner.

"Fellow villagers, don't worry, as long as I Qin Lin is in Anjing City, there will be no more conflicts in Anjing City, this is a truce agreement signed by the Jiang and Liu clans, and, from tomorrow, my Qin clan and the merchant army will officially intervene in the city guards of Anjing City, until Anjing City is completely stabilized, they will not leave, of course, even if the merchant team leaves, my Qin clan will continue to stay here to protect the peace of the city. ”

Hearing the news, the people were even more overjoyed.

They shouted the name of "Qin".

Qi Li, who came out of the inn, heard the sound of the crowd outside and smiled.

She pulled Qin Lin's sleeve.

Qin Lin looked back at her: "What's wrong?"

Qi Lisheng said, "Master, you won." ”

"Haha, it's inevitable that I won. Qin Lin knew that Qi Li's was "a matter of not lacking blood."

At present, Qin Lin has seized the power of Anjing City, and has won the hearts of the people of Anjing City, but the "knife" in his hand is still not stained with blood.

......

After Jiang Donglin took the strong pill, he was carried back to the Jiang family's mansion.

It didn't take long for him to cough.

A stream of blood spurted out of his throat, and Jiang Donglin showed an extremely painful expression.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to grab the collar of Jiang Qi, who was guarding him and worried about his safety.

"Father, have you signed?" he said, questioningly.

Jiang Qi's face was full of sadness and nodded.

"Father, you are confused, you signed, the Anjing City that our Jiang clan fought for hundreds of years to regain was lost. Jiang Donglin was so angry that his heart and lungs trembled, and a mouthful of blood spit out.

Seeing this, Jiang Qi was busy appeasing: "Son, Donglin, it's important to save your life now." ”

"The city is lost, what's the use of keeping your life!" Jiang Donglin frowned.

Jiang Qi didn't know what else to do, so he could only sigh.

Suddenly, Jiang Donglin stretched out his hand again and grabbed Jiang Qi's collar: "Father, you abdicate, you pass on the position of the head of the family to me, and the position of the lord of Anjing City, I can deal with Qin Lin, and I will definitely take back the military power from him." ”

"It's already like this, how are you going to take it?" Jiang Qi asked.

At the moment, it is the intervention of the merchant team, in Jiang Qi's eyes, this is equivalent to the intervention of the Wei family, no matter what, the Jiang family cannot fight against the Wei family.

However, in Jiang Donglin's eyes, things have not completely entered a desperate situation.

He said: "Father, you have to think about it, isn't that Qin Lin just a businessman? How long can he stay in Anjing City, even if he builds a post house, at most he will send some people to stay behind, and the merchant army is even more so, they are invited by Qin Lin to come, at most after Qin Lin is pacified, they will naturally leave, and when the time comes, we will have the opportunity to regain military power." ”

Jiang Donglin is like a brain suddenly opening up.

In fact, he has always been quite open-minded, but when he was in front of Liu's Mansion before, he was really too impulsive and completely gave up thinking in his mind.

And now, he is sober and has completely figured it out.

He continued to grab Jiang Qi's collar, "Father, pass the seat to me, I believe that I will definitely be able to regain power and give me the seat ......"

Jiang Qi was helpless.

Although Jiang Qi has more than one son, in comparison, the only one who can be qualified for the position of the head of the family and can preside over the situation in Anjing City is only Jiang Donglin.

Jiang Qi thought about it, anyway, he didn't want to be the city lord anymore, and he also knew that he didn't have enough command ability to lead the Quartet, so he could give up the position of city lord.

It's just that Jiang Qi doesn't want to let the position of the head of the Jiang family go.

It's not that he covets this position, but that he understands his son's character, and sometimes he is really impulsive, so Jiang Qi also takes into account the checks and balances.

He said: "Donglin, from tomorrow, you will be the city lord of Anjing City, and you are the master of the people of the city outside, but at home, you are still my son." ”

"Father means, only give me the position of city lord?" Jiang Donglin wanted to bring over both the head of the family and the city lord, he didn't want to have a "Taishang Emperor" on his head.

However, Jiang Qi had already made this decision.

Jiang Donglin was helpless, but he had the title of city lord, and he felt that he was qualified to fight against Qin Lin.

"Donglin, you can recuperate now, the bones on your body are broken a lot, that Qin Lin gave you a strong pill, it seems that that pill is indeed very powerful, you have recovered a lot now. ”

"Father, don't worry, I will go and thank Qin Lin. Jiang Donglin said in a low tone.

......

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

This period of time was the most peaceful time since Qin Lin came to Anjing City.

The Liu Mansion became honest and did not take any other actions except to run their business district well.

Although Jiang announced Jiang Donglin's succession as the lord of Anjing City in a high-profile manner, it was limited to the deployment of troops in the city, and he had never set foot in the inn or been to the construction site, so he deliberately avoided Qin Lin.

Qin Lin walked in the courtyard that had completed most of the construction, looking at the brand-new courtyards, and he was also happy.

"Not bad, not bad. He nodded, then said, "It's just that something is missing." ”

"Brother thinks there's something missing?" asked Chunfen.

"The flowers and the decorations. Qin Lin: "Now that it's almost built, why don't you go and buy some flowers and plants?" ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go to Xiangcheng to buy it. Chunfen said.

In the distance, Qi Li's figure came in a hurry.

Qin Lin frowned slightly.

Chunfen exclaimed: "Qi Li's back, is there any movement on the Wei family's side?"

During this time, Qin Lin sent Qi Li to Lishan to inquire about the Wei family's movements.

If Wei wants to investigate the responsibility, he must first find Lishan, so as long as there is movement in Lishan, it means that Wei has movement.

Qi Li came to Qin Lin's side: "Master, the Wei clan has sent a mission, and it has arrived at Lishan two days ago. ”

"Mission?" Qin Lin was surprised, thinking that it was directly pressed in by the army.

It seems that the Wei family is also afraid of Lishan.

Qi Li said: "Well, yesterday Zhang Weichang told me that the Lord of Wei Pavilion had already received the mission, and also made the matter of your departure from Lishan clear to the mission. ”

"In this way, the Wei clan will soon send a corps to Anjing City to attack us. Qin Lin thought in his heart.

Qi Li said: "It should be delayed for a little longer." ”

"Why?"

"Pavilion Master Wei knows that Master's side is not completely stable, so he follows the mission, after you leave Lishan, you don't know where to go. Qi Li reported.

Hearing this, Qin Lin frowned: "Why did Wei Ying want to make this trouble for herself!"

Qin Lin felt that this was inappropriate, so the Wei clan would still be embarrassed by Lishan.

Qi Li said: "The Wei Pavilion Lord has her own considerations, she left the Wei delegation to live in Lishan, and within ten days, she will definitely find out the whereabouts of the master." ”

"Is the mission convinced?" Qin Lin asked.

Qi Li smiled: "Pavilion Master Wei is an acting school, she showed extreme resentment in front of the mission, and the master killed her two younger brothers, she and the master don't share it, so the mission believed." ”

"Hehe......" Qin Lin was speechless.

Still, that's fine.

The delay of ten times, coupled with the fact that the mission brought the news back to the Wei clan from Lishan, and the Wei clan sent troops to Anjing City, it could be delayed for at least a month or so.

"One month, almost enough for us to stabilize. Qin Lin thought about it again, and then said: "However, we have to speed up our actions and disintegrate the foundation of the Jiang and Liu clans in Anjing City as soon as possible." ”

Qin Lin's basic principle is not to take the initiative to stir up trouble.

During this period of time, the Jiang and Liu clans were too calm, making it difficult for Qin Lin to do anything to them.

After thinking about it, Qin Lin felt that it was necessary to retreat and leak some flaws to Jiang Donglin, so that he could pick on things.

"What about Sakura Mirror and Sakura Xin, why don't these two people see each other at night?" Qin Lin asked Xiang Chunfen.

In the past month or so, the Sakura brothers and sisters refused the accommodation arranged by Qin Lin and rented a courtyard in the city alone, and basically did not interact with Qin Lin at ordinary times, as if they were an outsider.

Chunfen felt embarrassed.

There was a conflict between Qin Lin and Sakura Mirror, and the two didn't speak, but Chunfen still had to go to the courtyard rented by Sakura brothers and sisters from time to time to contact their feelings.

"Brother, you left the two of them in the inn before, and they were busy all night, and they are not made of wood, so you can't wait until you are done before saying a few words to you. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Doesn't it mean that the brothers and sisters are living a very happy life now, and they don't want to get involved in our affairs. Chunfen said.

"Is it the cherry blossom mirror with you?" Qin Lin frowned.

Chunfen said: "Just a few days ago, when I went to their courtyard for dinner, Brother Sakura wanted to practice martial arts well, so let's not disturb him here." ”

"my uncle. Qin Lin was helpless: "Go, take me to his courtyard, I have to talk to him." ”

"Don't talk about it, now Brother Sakura's mood is very good, and I'm very happy, brother, you don't have nothing to quarrel with him. ”

"Why am I going to quarrel with him, I'm going to discuss with him what to do next. "Qin Lin.

Qi Li's side threw out a sentence coldly: "Your plan is never negotiable, you are an order, all the plans are thought about by yourself, and you directly ordered us to do it." ”

"You eat inside and out. Qin Lin glanced at Qi Li.

Qi Li was not stunned, and stretched out his hand to Chunfen: "Senior aunt is still your sister, isn't my senior aunt also helping the Sakura brothers and sisters?"

"You guys!" Qin Lin stopped arguing.

Thinking about it carefully, he felt that Chunfen's was not unreasonable.

If Sakura Mirror's mentality is always like eating dynamite, it is really troublesome, it is better to let him cultivate well, and when his cultivation is improved, his state of mind will naturally be good.

"That's it, then leave this task to Lin Chuyu. Qin Lin looked around the construction site: "What about the first words? Didn't you come together just now?"

"It was probably in the backyard planter, which was built according to her design, and she loved it so much that she would often sit on the edge of it. "Chunfen.

"Isn't the flower pond watered yet?" Qin Lin was a little depressed.

Chunfen didn't answer again and went to the backyard.

Soon, she and Lin Chuyu came back together.

Lin Chuyu asked, "What's the matter?"

"Well, I'll give you a task. Qin Lin: "Go and gather all the people of the merchant team, you are responsible for taking the lead, take them to leave first, and go to the capital school wherever you want"

"Huh?" Lin Chu didn't hear.

Qin Lin: "In this way, you take the merchant team back to Huashan City first, so that you can notice the movements of the Wei clan at any time." ”

Lin Chuyu was still at a loss: "Didn't you hand over the task of paying attention to the movements of the Wei clan to Qi Li? Why do you want me to bring the merchant army over now." ”

"The main purpose is to let the merchant team temporarily leave Anjing City. Qin Lin said.

Lin Chuyu was smart, and as soon as he heard this, he understood a little: "Do you want Jiang Donglin to think that if the merchant martial arts team leaves, you will become easy to bully?"

"That's right!" Qin Lin nodded: "The merchant martial team is here, Jiang Donglin doesn't dare to trouble us at all, and we can't take the initiative to stir up trouble, so the best way is to let the merchant martial team leave first, and when the time comes, maybe Jiang Donglin will arrange a killer to trouble me." ”

"Despicable. The three girls in front of him made disgusted tones at the same time.

Qin Lin shrugged and didn't speak.

......

In Jiang's mansion, Jiang Donglin sat in the main hall of the left hall

Before, his father was the head of the family and the city lord, so official affairs were handled in the front hall, and now, the front hall is still the place where the head of the Jiang family handles official affairs, and Jiang Donglin, the city lord, can only work in the left hall.

The general guarding the city walked into the main hall of the left hall at this time and arched his hand: "Lord of the city, the merchant army is out of the city." ”

Jiang Donglin was originally reading the case sent by the yamen in the city, and when he heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

"What are you? He couldn't hide his excitement.

The general said: "The merchant army has just passed through the West City Gate and gone out of the city, and the subordinates have sent scouts to follow behind to find out where they are going." ”

"Is the scout back?" Jiang Donglin asked.

"Not yet, their subordinates are carrying heavy vehicles, as if the class teacher has returned to West Jinzhou. "The general reports.

Jiang Donglin stood up abruptly and threw the case slip in his hand on the table.

"Okay, very good, the merchant team is gone, haha......" Jiang Donglin has been holding his breath for more than a month.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the general, and said, "Send more scouts, meet them all the way, and find out where they are going for the lord of this city, and see where they are going." ”

"Yes!" replied the general.

Then, the general asked, "City Lord, don't you want to take this opportunity to do something to Gongzi Qin?"

"Who are you doing it to?" Jiang Donglin's face immediately put down.

The general didn't hear anything unusual, and said, "Young Master Qin." ”

"Bullshit Qin Gongzi!" Jiang Donglin scolded.

The general was stunned.

Now, there is no need to ask any more, you can guess that Jiang Donglin is going to take this opportunity to make a move on Qin Lin.

This is a situation that the general does not want to see.

In the past month, although the merchant army has intervened in the city defense soldiers, it is not a domineering intervention, but very friendly, as if it is their own brothers.

In addition, Qin Lin was also very satisfied with the peace of Anjing City this month, and he also rewarded the city defense soldiers.

Therefore, in the eyes of the city defense soldiers, Qin Lin is not a villain.

Although in the eyes of the general, Qin Lin's various good attitudes may just be to buy people's hearts and prepare for the occupation of Anjing City.

But today, watching the Shang Wu team leave, the general felt that Qin Lin did not have the heart to occupy Anjing City. Otherwise, it would be impossible to let such a powerful merchant army leave.

The general stood in the main hall with his hands over, wanting to persuade Jiang Donglin a few words, but he also knew that Jiang Donglin hated Qin Lin so much, and it was useless.

Jiang Donglin took the case slip, pointed to the general and said: "You have shown me the city gate, and without the permission of the city lord, you are not allowed to let the merchant army enter the city." ”
