Chapter 462: Conclave

Wei Xiangyuan secretly went out of the city with Gao Changgong's last hope, and Gao Changgong immediately sent people outside to start hyping that he was suddenly sick, and the Lanling Palace's palace began to close its doors and refuse anyone to come to visit.

On the side of the Qi Imperial Palace, Xiao Yao and Gao Wei were drinking the most! As a modern person, Xiao Yao has always dominated the topics between the two, from all kinds of fun, to all kinds of delicacies, and finally to aesthetic beauty pageants, and even the topic of bed technology, the two talk about almost everything!

And Xiao Yao's direct and explicit opinions and suggestions made Gao Dawei call his confidant, and made him feel like he was late for Xiao Yao!

In the end, Xiao Yao presented Gao Wei with the fireworks and firecrackers, white sugar perfume and other gifts he led from Xuzhou, which made Gao Wei and those harem concubines ecstatic!

You must know that since the war between the two countries, although the general trading house still continues to do business with the Qi country, it is some ordinary commodities that trade with each other, and the supply of sugar and perfume is greatly reduced, and fireworks and firecrackers, which are commodities containing gunpowder, are prohibited from being sold, which makes Gao Wei, who has always been mainly for enjoyment, very uncomfortable not using these novelties!

So now after Xiao Yao dedicated these things to Gao Wei, Gao Wei was so excited that he immediately picked up the fireworks and firecrackers like a child, and ran outside the palace, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was already dark, burning the crackling firecrackers, and setting off colorful and colorful fireworks!

So, on the first day Xiao Yao came to Yecheng, he and Gao Wei drank wine in the palace for a day and a night, the two were like friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, eating, drinking, and having fun, and talking about everything about the topic of the armistice and peace talks, and everyone didn't say a word about these political topics!

The next day, Xiao Yao asked to leave the palace on the grounds that he wanted to go out to discuss the business of the armistice and peace talks with the accompanying negotiators he had brought with him, and to inspect the business of the General Firm's business in Yecheng. And Gao Wei, who was flattered by Xiao Yao for a day and a night, also established absolute trust in Xiao Yao, not only told him to return to the palace as soon as possible and continued to have fun with him last night, but also specially gave Xiao Yao a token of "I am here in person", and also sent a hundred forbidden guards to escort Xiao Yao out of the palace and protect his safety.

Xiao Yao rode a high-headed horse, under the protection of the heavily armed and vicious forbidden army, once again swaggered, and appeared on the bustling streets of Yecheng with great arrogance, and this time it still attracted many onlookers from the people of Yecheng, but they all looked at Xiao Yao with fearful eyes, completely without the kind of common hatred and hatred of yesterday, and the eyes showed a cold light, after all, yesterday's loud explosion and bloody shooting scene did greatly hit the self-confidence of these ordinary people, They left a shadow of extreme fear in their hearts!

Xiao Yao first came to a small hotel under the Honglu Temple, and then after pretending to discuss it with the Xuzhou civil officials led by himself, he took them all to a luxury restaurant built in Yecheng that imitated the general casino-Nanfang Restaurant on the grounds that the small hotel arranged by the Qi people was too shabby!

And in order to welcome the arrival of Xiao Yao, the young owner, the shopkeeper of the Yecheng branch of the General Commercial Bank was also very interested, and immediately prepared a good room for the subordinates of these young owners, and also according to Xiao Yao's instructions, in Yecheng to hold a variety of charitable deeds such as sending steamed buns, sending money, etc.!

As a result, the beggars and poor people in the entire Yecheng City have flocked to the door of the Southern Restaurant, tens of thousands of people, all of them are blocked on the street, fortunately, there are hundreds of forbidden troops armed with spears and knives sent by Gao Wei to maintain order at the scene, and the general trading house also ensures that the steamed buns and copper coins are enough, so the whole scene looks like although there are many people, but it is still very orderly!

And at this time, in the secret room of the Southern Restaurant, Xiao Yao was having a secret meeting with Wang Yi, the leader of the Fuliang Gang, Wang Lin's son, and Li Beiqing, the helmsman of the Beggar Gang in Yecheng! The reason why Xiao Yao let the Southern Restaurant attract a large number of beggars and poor people to come here with the good act of pieping steamed buns is actually to make it easier for these two people to mix in while there are many people!

"Elder Nine Bags of the Beggar Gang, Li Beiqing, the helmsman of Yecheng, see the gang leader!" Li Beiqing saluted the helper in front of him with a respectful face and said to the helper in front of him who had heard it countless times and met it for the first time.

"Wang Yi see the young master!" Wang Yi also saluted Xiao Yao excitedly and said, after all, he had never seen Xiao Yao since Shouyang City said goodbye back then.

"No need to be polite! Wang Yi, about General Wang, I want to say sorry to you personally, I couldn't save him! Xiao Yao looked at this Wang Yi, who was very similar to Wang Lin, and said with a look of self-reproach.

"The young master doesn't have to say this anymore, and he doesn't have to blame himself, my father already had the consciousness of being killed at that time! On the contrary, before he died, it was all thanks to the help of the young master that Wang Yi and his father could enjoy a few more days of family fun, so that his father had no regrets in this world, and now the young master helped transport his father's bones out and handed them over to Wang Yi for burial, so that Wang Yi completed his responsibility as a son of man! The young master's great kindness to our Wang family, Wang Yi, there is nothing to repay, only to be loyal to the young master, contribute his own strength to the young master's major affairs, and die after death! Wang Yi also said with an excited expression of loyalty.

"Thank you! Beiqing, you are also doing well, how many beggar gang disciples have developed here in Yecheng, at least tens of thousands of people came to the door of the restaurant just now, they are all disciples of our beggar gang? Xiao Yao nodded at Li Beiqing and said.

"Thank you for the compliment! The ones outside are not all official disciples of our beggar gang, after all, the gang rules of our beggar gang stipulate that everyone must be assessed before they can be officially accepted as disciples of the beggar gang! But this is mainly because there are too many beggars and poor people here in Yecheng, so when our beggar gang came to Yecheng to set up a rudder to provide protection for these poor people, these poor people are very grateful to our beggar gang and want to join our beggar gang! Li Beiqing said modestly.

"Being able to manage so many disciples, you Li Beiqing have also made a great contribution to our beggar gang! I believe that now you and Wang Yi also know each other, right? Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"The subordinate has already met Brother Wang, and he was personally introduced by Elder Sun at that time, so we all know that we are all working together for the helper!" Li Beiqing nodded and replied.

"The two of you, one is specifically for the intelligence of the upper-class wealthy nobles in Yecheng, and the other is specifically responsible for the co-optation of the poor people at the bottom, so that the entire Yecheng is under our control, and if we want to attack Yecheng at that time, it will be easy!" Xiao Yao said proudly.

"That's right, helper, according to the report of the disciples we arranged in the Lanling Palace, last night, Gao Changgong's henchman Wei Xiangyuan suddenly left the Lanling Palace, rode a fast horse and left Yecheng, heading northwest!" Li Beiqing reported.
