Section 3 Turbulent clouds in border cities

When they flew to the dock, warships flying the big flag of Cai had already appeared on the sea level in the distance. November in Liaodong is cold and windy, and the sun always seems to like to hide behind the clouds, stingy to bring a little warmth to the earth, and even faintly fluttering fine snowflakes in the sky. But Rao is like this, at this moment, Jinxi Wharf is still crowded. Because every citizen of Jinxi City, including Lin Fei, knew in their hearts that the girl envoy who was about to come to Jinxi was not only their parents, but also the lifeblood of all of them.

After the busy summer and autumn seasons just now, Jinxi City has gathered more than 70,000 people. Among them, there are not only the first two groups of Taiping Christians who immigrated from Qingzhou, but also many people from Youzhou who fled the war to settle here. This population may not be counted in the Central Plains, but in Youzhou, in the subject country of Liaodong, it has reached the size of a medium nomadic tribe. It's just that compared with the nomadic tribes where all the people are soldiers, the proportion of old and weak women and children in Jinxi City is relatively high, and the young and middle-aged people who can really be drawn out to participate in the battle only account for 20% of the population. Fortunately, Lin Fei took this into account at the beginning of the construction of the city, and not only built Jinxi City into a closed walled city, but also equipped it with a lot of Momen organs to consolidate the defense. In addition, there are Wang Lie and other Liaodong heroes to help dredge up and deal with the relationship between the upper and lower parts of Liaodong's subject countries. So far, there have been no bandits or nomads who have come to make tooth sacrifices. With the protection of the walled city, many immigrants took up hoes to reclaim wasteland along the Little White Wolf River after experiencing the initial anxiety.

At first, the pleasant climate of summer and autumn and the fertile black soil in eastern Liaoning made the displaced people who immigrated here very amazing, thinking that they would be able to live the long-awaited life of male farmers and female weavers in this strange land from now on. It wasn't until the icy winds blew from the far north and the newly cultivated fields froze almost overnight that people realized the horror of the legendary ice. And just when the people of Jinxi were worried about the cold snap in Siberia that had already shown their fangs, the fleet from Donglai sent grain and grass for the winter to Jinxi City in a timely manner, and at the same time, it once again demonstrated to everyone Donglai's control over Jinxi.

When Cai Ji, who was dressed in a red crane, stepped off the boat from the gangplank, there was a lot of commotion on the dock. It is true that many Taiping Sect members already knew that the parent who helped them immigrate from the Central Plains was a young girl named Cai Anzhen. But there are very few people who really see Cai Ji. People's perception of Cai Ji, the female envoy, comes more from the rumors of gods and monsters such as "turning locusts into shrimp" and "Xuannu descending to earth". As for the homeless people in Youzhou, who were originally closed to news, they couldn't imagine that there would be a female state pastor in this world.

Regardless of how curious the people of Jinxi City were, they were curious about the beauty of the female envoy. As the builder of Jinxi City and the actual manager of Lin Fei, he knew that Cai Ji's coming to Jinxi at this moment was of great significance to him and Jinxi City. No, before Cai Ji approached the crowd, Lin Fei took the lead in leading a group of people in charge of the city, and stepped forward and said, "I've seen the envoy." ”

"Lin Langjun doesn't have to be polite." Cai Ji looked around at the surrounding scenery with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but praise sincerely, "Building a city in two seasons, Lin Langjun is really a good means." ”

"Make the king pass the award. Jinxi City can have today's scale, and all the battles make you strongly support. Flying is just doing what you are told. Lin Fei humbly bowed.

Lin Langjun's words are wrong. The government is far away in Donglai and has no time to take care of the affairs of Liaodong, and the fact that Jinxi can become a city is the great help of Lin Langjun and all the monarchs present. Ji thanked the people for their hard work. Cai Ji said with a graceful smile and nodded his head to the crowd in thanks. The principals present were flattered and said they didn't dare to say again.

However, Lin Fei glanced behind him with the corner of his eye while thanking him. So he quickly pointed to a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain not far away, and explained to Cai Ji, "Daoist Yu is cultivating immortals in the Taiping Palace right now, why don't you fly and send someone to invite Daoist Yu?" ”

Although Lin Fei's tone was respectful, Cai Ji couldn't hear a little bit of extraneous words from the other party's words. At this moment, whether it was Yu Ji's deliberate avoidance or Lin Fei's words in front of him, Cai Ji realized that the current Jinxi City was not simple. But thinking about it, Cai Ji still had a warm smile on her face, and it didn't hurt to see her waving her hand generously at Lin Fei. Yu Daochang is a master in the world, how can we disturb his cultivation of immortals with mundane things. ”

Lin Fei heard Cai Ji say this, but he was not in a hurry to debunk those little Jiujiu in Kedah in front of everyone. In his opinion, since Yu Ji had already had a different heart, he had to have the opportunity to discuss with Cai Ji to deal with that divine stick. Therefore, Lin Fei at this time only bowed his hand lightly, "That is the case, Fei is here to thank the envoy on behalf of the Dao Chief." ”

Seeing Lin Fei's pretended posture, Cai Ji bowed his head slightly tacitly, and then turned his gaze to a strong man standing behind Lin Fei, "Who is this strong man?" ”

"Wang Lie, a native of Qingzhou, has seen Cai Yuanjun." Wang Lie bowed without humility or arrogance. Lin Fei on the side stepped forward in time and introduced, "Wang Langjun is a giant in Liaodong. It was thanks to Wang Langjun's presence in the Liaodong vassal country that Jinxi City was able to live in harmony with the surrounding tribes. ”

Cai Ji didn't know that Wang Lie was Li Min's henchman, the powerful man of Liaodong. It's just that there are many things that are not suitable to talk about here and now, so Cai Ji just said with a greeting, "It turned out to be Wang Langjun who was fighting for righteousness and squandering money." When the government was in Donglai, he had heard people talk about Lang Jun's various righteous deeds in Liaodong. When I saw it today, the Northland Meng Wei really lived up to its reputation. ”

"Don't dare to be. Master Li also often praised Cai Yuanjun for his young and promising. Wang Lie politely complimented Cai Ji.

Cai Ji heard Wang Lie mention Li Min, and couldn't help blurting out, "Oh? Master Li is also in Jinxi? ”

"Don't hide it, Lord Li is now in Yishui Port." Wang Lie responded truthfully.

Cai Ji'er heard that Li Min was at Zhang Qingbu's station, and thought that this was not much different from the previous arrangement, so he also said politely, "I see, this mansion will also go to Yishui Port soon." When the time comes, I will definitely visit Master Lee. ”

Lin Fei on the side saw that Cai Ji and Wang Lie had almost exchanged pleasantries, so he immediately took the opportunity to say, "Envoy, the wharf is windy, why don't you go into the house first to talk." ”

"Then there will be Laurin Langjun leading the way." Cai Ji nodded happily, and then walked all the way through the dock surrounded by Lin Fei and others. During this period, the people who were originally watching the excitement on both sides saw their parents and officials walking by, like layers of waves kneeling down to greet each other. However, Cai Ji himself did not intervene to stop this, nor did he make any touching speech, but with a kind smile and a calm step, he boarded the carriage and walked away under the respectful and curious eyes of the people. It is true that although Cai Ji's soul comes from the modern society after 1,800 years, both the historical books and the experience of living in the Eastern Han Dynasty over the past two years clearly tell SΓΉ Cai Ji that "rank" and "obedience" are the guarantee to maintain her rule at present.

Although Liaodong is a bitter cold place, the reception banquet that Lin Fei set up for Cai Ji that night was not shabby. There are all kinds of beef, mutton and fish, and there are enough wines, but there are too few varieties of vegetables, except for cabbage and radish. This made Pang Tong and others, who had been on the ship for more than a month, somewhat regretful. However, compared with the dishes of the reception banquet, Cai Ji is more concerned about the guests attending the reception banquet. After some careful observation, most of the guests on Cai Ji's banquet were local heroes like Wang Lie, and there were also several officials sent by Liaodong's vassal states. As the main population of Jinxi City, Taiping Dao only sent Wang Yun, a small road boy beside Yu Ji, to congratulate him. Thinking of Lin Fei's statement that Ji was cultivating immortals on the dock during the day, Cai Ji was sure that Yu Ji Na'er must be plotting.

However, Cai Ji did not embarrass Wang Yun at the banquet because of this, and he did not stupidly inquire about how the immortal master cultivated. It's just that after three rounds of drinking, Cai Ji withdrew from the banquet early on the grounds of fatigue from the journey. After a short time, Lin Fei and Wang Lie also slipped out of the banquet without realizing it. As for their destination, it is naturally Cai Ji's study.

"It's really embarrassing to make the boat tired, and we still come to disturb us late at night." Reflecting the dancing candle flames, Lin Fei and Wang Lie both thanked Cai Ji and apologized.

After the episode on the dock during the day, Cai Ji had expected that Lin Fei would come to find her, so she waved her hand disapprenosingly and said, "Business matters." If Lin Langjun and Wang Langjun have something important, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

With Cai Ji's words as the opening remarks, Lin Fei naturally had a little less worries. But seeing him straighten up, he said to Cai Ji with a worried expression, "Lord Mingjian, Fei came to visit late at night today, it is really because Jinxi City is now at a critical juncture of life and death. Therefore, Fei and Wang Langjun hereby implore the envoy to make decisions for tens of thousands of people in Jinxi. ”

After saying that, Lin Fei led Wang Lie to make a deep bow to Cai Ji, causing Cai Ji to hurriedly raise his hand and say, "Why did Lin Langjun say this?" ”

Lin Fei was asked by Cai Ji like this, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "Do you know why Yu Ji didn't show up today?" ”

Although Cai Ji expected that Lin Fei's trip was mostly for Yu Ji's business, he still shook his head in confusion and said, "Didn't Lang Jun say that Daoist Yu cultivated immortals in the Taoist temple and didn't skip words."

"That's just a perfunctory rhetoric from the Demon Dao." Lin Fei sneered and said, "Actually, Yu Ji is not practicing at all. He deliberately avoided the envoy because he wanted to give the envoy a disadvantage. The purpose is to make the people of Jinxi feel that he Yuji does not have to obey the orders of the envoy. ”

Cai Ji didn't expect Lin Fei to get straight to the point as soon as they met, and gave Yu Ji such a big hat. Only half a year ago, Lin Fei was still in an alliance with Yu Ji. But listening to Lin Fei's tone at this moment, the two seem to have become incompatible. Faced with such a big contrast, Cai Ji couldn't help but cautiously set his eyes on Wang Lie, who was sitting next to Lin Fei.

Wang Lie seemed to read the taste of inquiry from Cai Ji's gaze, so he hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Make Jun Mingjian." What Lin Langjun said is true. Yu Ji has always been arrogant and domineering in Jinxi City, with many henchmen, and often uses witchcraft to bewitch the villagers. It is precisely because I am afraid that in the long run, Jinxi will become the forbidden side of Yu Ji, and even repeat the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Therefore, Lin Langjun and Zai Xia ventured together to ask for a meeting, so that the envoy clarified Yu Ji's wolf ambitions. It is hoped that the king will strike in time to destroy this fang. ”

Seeing Lin Fei and Wang Lie singing and harmonizing, the mystery in Cai Ji's heart couldn't help but get bigger and bigger. Could it be that Lin Fei has formed an alliance with Liaodong Haoqiang and intends to borrow a hand to get rid of Yu Ji? Or is it true that Yu Ji is indeed ambitious and wants to use the power of Taiping Dao to monopolize Jinxi City? Whatever the facts may be, given the situation that Cai Ji is new to the situation, it is really not wise to rashly listen to one side against the other. In addition, in Cai Ji's trip to Youzhou, Yu Ji can be regarded as an indispensable and important part of the whole plan. Even if he really had a different heart at this time, Cai Ji didn't want to simply eliminate the other party physically.

So after pondering for a long time, Cai Ji asked Lin Fei tactfully, "Didn't Lin Langjun have a misunderstanding with Dao Chief?" Momen and Taiping Dao are old acquaintances? ”

Lin Fei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when Cai Ji asked him like this. No, Yu Ji was introduced to Cai Ji after all. At this moment, it was suddenly said that there was a problem with the person who introduced him, and it was a motive that any prince would suspect. But Cai Ji didn't know that Lin Fei at this time had indeed reached the point where he was dumb and ate coptis. If Yu Ji was just a nobody when the first batch of Taiping sect members came to settle here earlier, then now the Taoist and Yu Immortal Master can be regarded as a god, the god of Jinxi City. Due to the large number of Taiping people in Jinxi City, and many barbarians in the surrounding area are also bewitched by its "witchcraft" and regard it as a god. Therefore, although Lin Fei had the right to manage Jinxi City on the surface, the entire city was actually obeying Yu Ji's orders. As the founder of Jinxi City, how could Lin Fei endure the hard work of being pocketed by such a divine stick.

Fortunately, Lin Fei is not the only one who realizes this and hates Ji. Led by Wang Lie, Liaodong Haoqiang also did not want the Jinxi City built by money and effort to fall into the hands of a god. And this god stick is still the remnant of the Yellow Turban that caused the chaos today. The two sides soon hit it off, and Yu Ji regarded them as common enemies. It's just that although Lin Fei is proficient in mechanical techniques and has little power, in the face of Yu Ji, who has a large number of supporters, he can't shake such a magic stick with just a few small means. In addition, Yu Ji may also realize that his former collaborators have become taboo. Therefore, after the Taiping Palace outside the city was completed, the immortal master left Wang Yun in the city as a puppet. And he himself led a group of henchmen to move into the Taiping Palace, which is naturally called retreat and cultivation of immortals.

With Yu Ji hiding in the Taiping Palace, Lin Fei and the others understood that the dog had no way to bite Wang Ba. At this time, Cai Ji led his troops to Jinxi. Of course, Lin Fei and others will not let go of this great opportunity to break the deadlock. And the reason why Yu Ji didn't come forward to greet Cai Ji was not because he was afraid that Lin Fei and others would secretly stumble on him.

Faced with Cai Ji's question at this moment, Wang Lie couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and asked, "Do you think that Lin Langjun is framing Yu Ji?" ”

"Lin Langjun of this mansion is a person. However, there are some things that should not be taken lightly. Cai Ji calmly calmed down.

But as soon as Cai Ji's words fell, Lin Fei took out a roll of bamboo slips from his arms and placed it in front of her, "This is what Yu Ji has done in Jinxi City for several months. So that Jun Da can send someone to investigate. If there is half a lie in this book, I am willing to be sanctioned by the envoy."
