readx;? The four words of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, a few days ago, were still unknown, but almost overnight they became a household name, and now no one knows that in addition to a strong emperor in the southwest today, there is also an Southwest Chamber of Commerce that came out of nowhere.

The Southwest Chamber of Commerce planted a flag in the territory of the Emperor Sect, which can be described as a moment of fame, and it can expand at such a speed in such a short period of time, even the original Emperor Sect is afraid that this speed will be beyond the reach of the dust. In less than half a month's effort, the people of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce actually walked through the fourteen cities one by one, and their purpose was simple and direct, that is, to raise a million silver shells, among them, some smart city lords followed the example of Fang Chengtian after hearing Lu Yifan's name and the purpose of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, and some city lords ignored the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, and the two sides had to be forced to stalemate, and some of them had even made trouble to the point where the water and fire could not be broken, and finally I hated that these silver shells were squeezed out from under the knife。

Therefore, it is easy to say that the expansion of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce is easy, because it only took less than half a month to successfully raise more than 10 million silver shells, and it can be said that all the tribute silver that the Southwest Fourteen Cities originally planned to hand over to the emperor was collected into his own pocket. And it's not easy to say, in fact, it's not easy, in this half a month, only four of the fourteen cities in the southwest happily promised a group of peace, and the other eight cities almost all had some conflicts, there were no things that hurt people's lives, but the things that hurt the muscles and bones, broken hands and feet did not happen less, and the Southwest Chamber of Commerce borrowed money with the nature of robbery, which can be said to have made these hard-boned city lords suffer.

Salute first and then soldier is the rule set by Lu Yifan for the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, so in the team sent to various cities to borrow money, there will generally be a text and a martial arts, for example, there will be a Lu Wencai next to Lu Jun, Chu Ding will definitely send a hundred miles of wind next to him, and Qin Qingyu will be followed by a relatively conservative Li Duan. With such a combination in front of these city lords, one sings black face and the other sings white face, and it can barely be regarded as handy when it comes to doing things. Necessary threats are allowed, but they must not hurt people's lives, this is also the rule set by Lu Yifan.

Under such rules, the vast majority of city lords will choose to comply, but they will inevitably encounter some extremely difficult people, among which Dong Gu, the city lord of Lizhou City, is the most prominent.

Dong Gu, as his name suggests, is a complete old stubborn. Now he is over sixty years old, dry and thin, although he is stubborn, he is definitely a good city lord. He would rather die in the name of protecting the people of Lizhou City, and refused to lend one million silver shells to the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, saying that he would leave it to the people of the emperor.

And the reason why Dong Gu is so jealous of Huangzong is precisely because when Huangzong just set foot in Lizhou City a year ago, Dong Gu took his son and a thousand city troops to resist to the death, and as a result, the thousand city army died eight hundred, not to mention, even Dong Gu's only son died tragically at the hands of the emperor's protector, and the emperor left a message "If there is a next time, Lizhou will be bleeding." Therefore, although Dong Gu hated the emperor in his heart, he had to compromise with the emperor for the sake of the people of Lizhou, and it was precisely because of this that he now swore to fight against the Southwest Chamber of Commerce.

I have to mention here that the reason why the Southwest Chamber of Commerce was able to quickly gain a foothold in the Fourteen Cities in the Southwest with lightning speed this time was actually thanks to the thunderous methods of the Emperor Sect at that time. When the emperor rose, he almost beat the fourteen cities in the southwest one by one, and most of the city troops in each city were killed or injured at that time, because of this, in the face of the current Southwest Chamber of Commerce, even if the city lords had the heart to resist, they had no more soldiers and horses in their hands.

Dong Gu is difficult, but he can't help the Southwest Chamber of Commerce to come to the door again and again, the first time Mo Bai took people there, and Mo Bai's temper killed him in a few words, and then they fought with the house slave guards in Dong Gu's mansion, Mo Bai even broke a few ribs of Dong Gu in a fit of anger, and finally broke up unhappily. The second time was Xie Yun and Lu Jun who took people together, but the result was not satisfactory, Rao is Xie Yun had already poked the tip of the gun on Dong Gu's head, but this old stubborn still preferred to die. The third time was Lu Yifan personally brought people there, this time he didn't move again, but brought a generous gift, he and Dong Gu talked secretly in the hall alone for a whole afternoon, and the final result was also direct, that is, Dong Gu no longer preferred to die, but it is not to compromise now, but to wait until the other thirteen cities all lend money to the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, and he Dong Gu is the last to pay.

In fact, it is not uncommon for Dong Gu to think like this, the fourteen cities in the southwest are in the same breath, if the other thirteen cities are on the side of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce and plan to fight against the emperor together, then he Dong Gu will naturally not be stupid enough to continue to stay by the enemy's side, after all, the emperor has a common hatred for him to kill his son, in fact, deep down in his heart, Dong Gu wants to find an opportunity to deal with Lou Zong, but he is conservative and stubborn, so he and the Southwest Chamber of Commerce have been stalemate until the last moment.

Now that half a month has passed, the thirteen cities in the southwest have all compromised, and now there is only one Lizhou City left. This time, Lu Yifan did not go in person, but only sent Yin Xi to take Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu brothers to Lizhou Hou Mansion to meet Dong Gu.

This time, Dong Gu did not make it difficult for half a point, and directly handed over all the one million silver shells prepared in advance to Yin Xi, Yin Xi and the three of them took less than a cup of tea from entering the house to leaving the house, this time the matter can be said to have been done extremely smoothly, and in the end, Dong Gu, who was injured, even personally sent Yin Xi and the three out of the house with the support of the domestic slaves.

"City Lord Dong, if you are injured, you should go back and rest quickly!" Yin Xi said in a loud voice, "This is only half a day's journey from the Western Imperial City, let's go back!"

"This time the old decay is desperate, I hope the Southwest Chamber of Commerce will not disappoint the people of Lizhou!" Dong Gu said with a faint breath, " Go back and tell Lu Yifan, although the Fourteen Cities in the Southwest gave him the money, it doesn't mean that we are in the same boat with him, this time you shot quickly, and everything was in front of the front to catch the Emperor off guard, but now almost every city will put the responsibility on your Southwest Chamber of Commerce, and they all say that they are forced to be helpless, so the Emperor has now noticed that you are not good, and none of the Fourteen Cities in the Southwest have paid tribute to the Emperor this month, I think this account will definitely be counted on your head!"

"We Lu Gongzi had expected these things long before they did it, and this matter should not be bothered by City Lord Dong!" Yin Xi replied expressionlessly, "I will tell Lu Gongzi what you say!"

After saying that, Yin Xi casually arched his hand at Dong Gu, who had a gloomy face, and then took the Zhou brothers to leave the Lizhou Hou Mansion with their feet.

"City Lord, five days ago, you had already refused to be sent by the Imperial Sect to collect tribute silver on the grounds of lending money to the Southwest Chamber of Commerce, but at that time, this million silver shells were still in our mansion, why did you deliberately deceive them?" asked an entourage beside Dong Gu with a puzzled face.

"I'm leaving a way back for us!" Dong Gu sighed softly, "Actually, from the bottom of my heart, I hope that Lu Yifan can defeat the Emperor Sect this time, but there is a Sacred Domain Sect Master behind the Emperor Sect secretly presiding, and the power is far from being comparable to the Lou Sect back then, Lu Yifan wants to repeat the old tricks, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult!"

"Then why didn't we report the Southwest Chamber of Commerce before this? In this way, we can still do a favor to the Emperor, now that the other thirteen cities in the Southwest are all on Lu Yifan's side, if we can always insist on the Emperor's side, then won't we be able to take this opportunity to show goodwill to the Emperor?"

"Show favor to the Emperor Sect?" Dong Gu snorted coldly with a disdainful expression, "There are no eggs under the nest, if the other thirteen cities are finished, do you think that our small Lizhou City can live alone? What's more, if the Emperor Sect doesn't die, no matter how much we show goodwill, we won't have a bright future!"

"The lord of the castle means ......"

"This time, the fourteen city lords in the southwest actually thought very clearly, it seems that Lu Yifan is using us now, and why aren't we using Lu Yifan?" Dong Gu said as he said, and a trace of cunning light inadvertently flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly turned around and walked towards the mansion, "What is the most important thing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? But once we choose the right one, then we will be able to reap the benefits! Now that someone wants to be the first bird for us, why don't we do it? Look at it! A good show between the Emperor Sect and the Southwest Chamber of Commerce is about to come!"

......

"Hey, wood!"

At dusk, Yin Xi took the Zhou brothers back to the Western Imperial City, and they had just stepped into the city gate, a crisp shout suddenly came from the lively street, and then I saw a girl in a yellow skirt and a beautiful face walking towards Yin Xi with a smile, and at this moment, in her waving hand to say hello, she was still holding a half-eaten sugar gourd.

"Yin Xi, that girl seems to be calling you, right?" Zhou Wu joked with a smile, "Come on, who is she? Could it be the one you found in the Western Imperial City?" As soon as Zhou Wu said this, Zhou Wen also coaxed him aside.

"! Don't talk nonsense!" Yin Xi waved his hand at Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu with a calm face, and then he stuffed the silver ticket on his waist into Zhou Wu's hand, and said in a low voice, "You go back first, and I'll be back later!"

"Tut-tut! It seems that the relationship is not shallow!haha......" Zhou Wu took the silver ticket in Yin Xi's hand while laughing, and then he and Zhou Wen walked in the other direction with interest, "That Yin Xi, I will show you Lu Gongzi, you won't come back tonight...... Haha......" With that, the Zhou brothers laughed and walked away under the threat of Yin Xi's kicking and kicking.

And just after the Zhou brothers left, the girl still walked in front of Yin Xi.

"Wood, remember me?" the girl looked at Yin Xi with a smile in her beautiful eyes, she smiled beautifully, her face was red like a ripe apple, and her smiling eyes were like a crooked crescent moon, bright and charming. Under the gaze of such a pair of smiling eyes, Yin Xi, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, a martial artist with five big and three thick skills turned surprisingly twisted, and even a touch of blush appeared on his face, but fortunately, Yin Xi's skin was dark, and it coincided with dusk, and the sky was getting darker, so the girl did not find out his ugliness.

"Remember, you're the one who knocked over my wine jar at the Tide Inn last time......" Yin Xi had actually recognized this girl a long time ago, not just remembering, but simply never forgetting. Since the accident at the inn last time, Yin Xi, who has always been very aggressive, seems to have changed as if he has changed a person, and he has learned to be in a daze when he is often alone, "I remember that your name seems to be ...... Yue'er ......"

"Is Yue'er your name? you want to call me Yue'er girl!" the girl's eyes widened, and she pretended to reproach angrily, "And what did you mean by knocking over your wine jar last time?

"Oh......" Yin Xi once thought about saying something to Yue'er, but now that they really met again, he didn't know how to speak. It was only at this time that Yin Xi sincerely admired Lu Wencai's ability to chatter endlessly and talk to anyone.

"Are you new to the Western Imperial City?" Yue'er always seemed very innocent when she spoke, as if she didn't know anything about the current turmoil in the southwest, "The last time I saw you take so much wine, was it with your family?"

"Forehead......" was asked by Yue'er like this, Yin Xi didn't know how to answer, and finally could only nod in a daze, which was considered to be admitted.

"Oh, what were you going to do just now? I see that you just came back with three of you, are those your friends? Are you out of town?" Yue'er asked casually as she ate her sugar gourd, it felt like two very familiar friends were chatting, and she didn't notice Yin Xi's embarrassment and apprehension at all.

"Yes!" Yin Xi replied with some hesitation in his tone, "It's out of the city to do business!"

"Do business?" Yue'er suddenly raised her head and looked at Yin Xi when she heard this, "You still dare to go out of the city to do business? Haven't you heard of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce? If you run into them, you can't do business, and you may even lose your life!"

"Why?" Yin Xi frowned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you lose your life when you meet the Southwest Chamber of Commerce?"

"The Southwest Chamber of Commerce eats people without spitting out bones, and kills people without blinking! Although they are called chambers of commerce, they are actually a group of robbers who burglarize houses! You must be careful in the future!" Yue'er deliberately lowered her voice a little when she said this, as if she was afraid of being heard by others.

"Who did you listen to?" Yin Xi asked curiously.

"My brother!" Yue'er replied bluntly, "My brother knows everything, and you can't be wrong to listen to me." Look at your stupid appearance, and still do business with friends, beware of being cheated by them!"

"Let his mother ......" Yin Xi subconsciously wanted to scold, but when he was only halfway through his words, he immediately realized that Yue'er was standing in front of him, so he had to swallow back the words behind him, and at this moment his whole face became a little red because of anger.

"What's wrong with you?" Yue'er looked at Yin Xi's constantly changing face curiously, "Are you scared by my words?" Actually, you don't have to be too afraid, as long as you are careful, you will be fine! We are all ordinary people, they will not come to us for trouble!"

Facing Yue'er with an innocent face, Yin Xi could only force out a smile, and smiled awkwardly at Yue'er: "I'm fine! What are you doing here?"

"Of course, I came out at this time to visit the night market, you see how lively it is? So many delicious and fun! Brother, he doesn't like me running around, he wants me to stay at home all day, wouldn't that be suffocating? So I sneaked out, and when I had had enough, I sneaked back secretly, so that no one would know!" Yue'er Pear Vortex smiled and Yin Xi's anger suddenly dissipated a lot, "I see that you have just come back from outside, and you haven't eaten yet, right?" I haven't eaten either, why don't this girl take you to eat some good things!"

"Good Dingxi?"

"Some snacks that make you drool, only the natives of the Western Emperor know it!" Yue'er smiled mysteriously, "It's not interesting for me to be alone, I can be more lively with you, I'll take you to eat, this time you can be regarded as a mouthful!"

"Okay!" Yin Xi nodded desperately, "I'm really a little hungry when I hear you say that!"

"If you can meet it, you must have no friends when you come to the Western Imperial City from other places, I don't think you are a bad person, why don't we make friends!" Yue'er smiled happily, "My name is Shen Yue'er, what's your name?"

"My name is Yin Xi!" Yin Xihan replied with a smile, "...... from Jinling City"

"Yin Xi?" Before Yin Xi finished speaking, Yue'er shook her head with a frown, "It's not good! I'll call you wood, it's fun and easy to remember!"

"You can call me anything you like...... Yin Xi was already immersed in sweetness at the moment, and he didn't care what the title was.

"That's good!Wood, I'll give you a string of sugar gourds as a meeting gift, and then I'll take you to eat the best snacks in the Western Imperial City!" Shen Yue'er said and turned around and walked towards the vendor selling sugar gourds on the side, stretched out her hand and took out a silver shell from her waist, seeing this scene, Yin Xi hurriedly rushed forward to grab the money, but was politely rejected by Shen Yue'er with righteous words, "You are my friend now, this is the Western Imperial City, I am the host, you are a guest, of course, you want to be a guest as you like, when you have the opportunity to go to Jinling, you will invite me again!"

Looking at Shen Yue'er's serious appearance, Yin Xi's heart was filled with an indescribable warm current, and he had been quietly watching Shen Yue'er choose a sugar gourd for him, and a simple smirk involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Let's go!" Shen Yue'er took the initiative to pull Yin Xi's arm after speaking, and walked towards the bustling night market with her feet raised, at first Yin Xi's words and deeds were a little twisted because of her heartbeat, but after understanding Shen Yue'er's simple and refreshing temperament, she simply let go of the shackles in her heart, and walked briskly with Shen Yue'er to the noisy night market, and in the blink of an eye, the figures of the two disappeared into the crowded streets.
