A parting message that was almost nonsense, and a box of gifts that Jiang Danling couldn't earn as a city lord for a lifetime.

All of this made Jiang Danling more and more curious about what happened in Xia Du, and at the same time made him firm that no matter what happened in Xia Du, he couldn't interfere.

Jiang Danling thought of this, and directly took out the bag of red dragon eyes and the stack of Jiuyuan passes from the box, and then walked towards the whistle Xiaoliu.

Jiang Danling handed the bag and pass to Sentry Xiaoliu: "Take it."

Whistle Xiaoliu was stunned, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, he knew very well the value of these things.

Instead, Sentry Xiaoliu took a step back: "City Lord, who are you?"

Jiang Danling smiled: "Just think of it as hush money."

Sentry Xiaoliu shook his head: "City Lord, if you hadn't saved my life back then, I wouldn't be alive today, you don't need to be like this."

"Hush money is a joke, because you are the only person I trust," Jiang Danling stuffed the things directly into the hands of the whistle Xiaoliu, "But, the wealth is not exposed, remember, you have to hide the things well and don't let anyone know, understand?"

Whistle Xiaoliu nodded, but stuffed the things into Jiang Danling's hands again: "City Lord, since the wealth is not exposed, then I can only store these things with you, because you are also the only person I trust in Frost Snow City."

Whistle Xiaoliu's reaction and words made Jiang Danling very satisfied, in fact, he gave the red dragon eye and the pass to Whistle Guy, which was also a temptation.

If Sentry Six happily takes his things and leaves Frost Snow City overnight, then Sentry Six will not survive for ten days. Even if Jiang Danling would not send someone to hunt him down, Sentry Xiaoliu would die at the hands of those outlaws.

If Whistle Xiaoliu took the things but didn't leave Frost Snow City, it proved that even if he wasn't that stupid, he didn't trust Jiang Danling.

Fortunately, Whistle Xiaoliu's choice was exactly the same as Jiang Danling's expectations.

As the city lord of Frost Snow City, why did Jiang Danling choose a small sentry commander as his henchman, instead of other generals or stewards under his command? At the same time, he also does not promote Xiao Liu, this is Jiang Danling's cleverness.

Frost Snow City is the first stop after entering Ruiyuan, and it is also where most of the other merchants from other places do business. Not all the businessmen who came to Ruiyuan to do business were super wealthy businessmen like the Ji Cheng Wu family or the Liang Cheng Kang family, and many were just ordinary businessmen.

Since it is an ordinary merchant, then the business is naturally not very large, at best, buy a little bit of "local products" such as snow stones and bring them back to sell, there is no capital to carry out a business like buying and selling snow slaves, so Frost Snow City is the terminal of these merchants in Ruiyuan, and because of this, the situation in Frost Snow City is far more complicated than Tiger City, Xia Capital and other places.

The members are too mixed, and the people under the command of the city lord will be affected, and it is not too much to say that they have their own ghosts, coupled with the special power structure of Ruiyuan, even Jiang Danling will not be 100% loyal to those people in Xia Capital, let alone these generals and stewards under his command.

However, Jiang Danling can't live without henchmen, but his henchmen must be his eyes and ears.

In addition to using clairvoyants to observe the surrounding situation in the four guard towers every day, it is also responsible for receiving scroll letters from Luoyu Harbor, Tiger City, and Summer Capital, which are delivered by Snow Eagle.

At the same time, the Observation Post is also responsible for communicating the Lord's orders to the various institutions and the dungeon, as well as any problems that exist between the various institutions.

Although they are all doing some miscellaneous things, there are a lot of information hidden in these miscellaneous things, which seem to be useless on the surface, but it is these seemingly useless messages that will help Jiang Danling find some business opportunities.

Sentry Xiaoliu was rescued by Jiang Danling from the outer city of the canyon, and the reason why he chose Sentry Xiaoliu was because this kid was different from others, there was no killing intent in his eyes, no greed, only the desire to try to live.

Whistle Xiaoliu was not originally called this name, this was the name that Jiang Danling gave him at random, and at the same time, he never asked Whistle Xiaoliu what kind of person he was, what he had done, and why he came to Ruiyuan.

The so-called hero doesn't ask where he came from, and he knows too many things about the other party's past, and maybe he can improve his understanding of this person, but how do you know that he told you

Are those past true? Instead of getting a lie, it is better not to ask at all, which is also a kind of trust.

At the same time, Jiang Danling never deliberately put up a fight in front of the whistle Xiaoliu, when no one was around, Jiang Danling was very casual, and he couldn't even tell that he was the master and servant. But Xiao Liu did not get carried away because of this, he always remembered his identity, and respected Jiang Danling anytime and anywhere.

Although the whistle is very clever, he is silly and stupid on weekdays, and he will deliberately make some inconsequential mistakes from time to time, which is also where Jiang Danling appreciates the whistle Xiaoliu.

Not to mention in Frost Snow City, in the entire Nine Plains World, how many people are smart and sober?

Therefore, Jiang Danling was willing to share the benefits he had gained with Whistle Xiaoliu.

Jiang Danling put the cloth bag containing the red dragon eye and the Jiuyuan Pass back in the box and locked it, and then turned to look at the sentry Xiaoliu.

Sentry Xiaoliu hurriedly asked, "City Lord, do you have any other orders?"

Jiang Danling said: "Little Liu, from now on, I will drink heavily every day, although I will still handle the affairs in the city, but I will handle them in a confused way, so I will not only not read the scrolls and letters brought by Snow Eagle from the summer capital, but I will not even open them."

Whistle Xiaoliu immediately understood: "The little one understands, but the little one will still send the scroll letter."

Jiang Danling smiled: "Go down, it's cold, don't freeze."

Whistle Liudao, "Thank you for your concern."

After Whistle Xiaoliu left, Jiang Danling sat back in front of the fireplace, picked up the wine jug next to him and poured a glass of wine, and then tasted it carefully.

What he tasted was not wine, but Cai Qianqing's parting words.

——

The Wu family caravan headed towards the next stop, Tiger City, in the wind and snow.

Jiang Danling's Frost and Snow Army sent the caravan out for a full thirty miles before turning back, and also planted a banner of Frost Snow City on the caravan head, the shading on the banner was five snowflakes, and on the snowflakes was a big "ginger" character.

The five snowflakes represent the five flags of the Yan family, and the word "Jiang" does not represent the city lord Jiang Danling, but the Jiang clan located in the summer capital.

However, people who don't know the inside story think that Jiang Danling, the city lord of Frost Snow City, is a member of the Jiang clan.

Su Mu was still the coachman himself, driving the carriage pulled by the candle dragon, and the white horse seemed to know the relationship between Su Mu and Tang Xiaohao's best friend. Except for Su Mu and Little Bell, anyone who approached rashly would be attacked by the Candle Dragon.

In the carriage, there are small bells and Yan Fulan, Yan Fulan always gets into the arms of the little bell, and from time to time she will call Aunt Bell with a milky voice, and every time she screams, the little bell will hug Yan Fulan tighter.

There seems to be a special connection between the two, but because of Yan Fulan's memory loss, Little Bell still doesn't know the child's background, and the only thing she is worried about is her special physique, which feeds on demonic power.

If it weren't for the fact that Little Bell was a thousand-year-old snow demon, the demon mana was relatively strong, and if it were an ordinary monster, it would have died long ago due to the exhaustion of demon mana. Look at the book

Cai Qianqing did not take the original carriage, but sat in the head carriage with Tang Tang.

After the escorted frost and snow army left, Cai Qianqing informed Tang Tang of the details of the meeting with Jiang Danling before parting.

Tang Tang only nodded slightly after hearing this, because he didn't know what he meant.

He didn't know why Cai Qianqing wanted to give Jiang Danling a gift, and he didn't know why Cai Qianqing told him such a confidential matter, because Tang Tang actually didn't know what to do when he arrived in the summer capital, he only knew that Tang Chen had instructed that after arriving in the summer capital, he received the task and listened to Tang Xiaohao's arrangement in everything.

But now Tang Xiaohao is missing......

Of course, in Tang Tang's opinion, Tang Xiaohao was having fun willfully, if he knew Tang Xiaohao's situation now, I am afraid he would go crazy.

Cai Qianqing opened the thick curtain on the car window and looked outside: "My parting words and gifts are just to stabilize Jiang Danling, although it is superfluous."

Tang Tang was puzzled: "Superfluous?"

If it's redundant, why do it?

Cai Qianqing explained: "To establish a situation and control things, we must first examine the similarities and differences of the party, don't

The words of right and wrong, see the words inside and outside, if there are no numbers, the plan to determine the safety and danger, the matter of intimacy, and then the weight of the weight."

In order to deal with something, it is necessary to create a posture and create an environment that creates an irreversible external pressure on the matter, so that the matter can move in its own favor according to its own intentions.

Tang Tang didn't know the specific task, and he didn't know what Cai Qianqing wanted, but he couldn't ask, after all, he was a strategist appointed by the emperor.

Cai Qianqing's expression was relaxed: "Jiang Danling is a businessman, then use the thinking of a businessman to talk to him, and at the same time let him fall into chaos, only in this way can he be stabilized."

Tang Tang said, "But this is not so much to stabilize him, but to make him fall into a daze."

"Yes, at a loss, the general's words are far more accurate than mine," Cai Qianqing said with a smile, "No matter what happened or is about to happen in Xia Capital, Frost Snow City and Tiger City will not transfer troops when they hear the news, then the plan will be partially completed."

Tang Tang still just nodded.

Cai Qianqing suddenly asked, "Isn't the general curious, what are we going to do in the summer capital?"

Tang Tang said, "We went to the summer capital, and when we find the connector, we will know the specific task."

Cai Qianqing smiled: "How could the emperor inform the connector of the Xia Capital of such an important task in the form of the Eagle Book."

The meaning of Cai Qianqing's words was obviously to tell Tang Tang that he knew what the real task was.

Tang Tang looked at Cai Qianqing and asked, "What does Mr. mean?"

Cai Qianqing said cautiously: "Our mission to Ruiyuan this time is to make the Yan clan infighting."

Tang Tang was puzzled: "Let the Yan clan fight? What's the point?"

Cai Qianqing said: "As long as the Yan clan is infighting, the court can live in peace, and the emperor can sit back and relax."

Tang Tang still shook his head: "I'm just a martial artist, I have read too little, and my brain is dull, I really can't understand what Mr. is saying, but I still remember that the secret edict said that after accepting the task in the summer capital, it needs to be completed with the assistance of the horse."

Tang Tang was actually reminding Cai Qianqing not to act rashly until Tang Xiaohao didn't come back.

Cai Qianqing's gift to Jiang Danling this time was completely unplanned, and the reason why Cai Qianqing was allowed to do it was because he was hand-picked by the emperor.

Cai Qianqing smiled and said, "The general is a subordinate of the commander Tang Chen, but Tang Chen is the emperor's courtier, and I am just a strategist without any real power, only a head that will be taken away by the general at any time, so the general doesn't need to worry."

Cai Qianqing's yin and yang weirdness made Tang Tang feel uncomfortable, but he just smiled, didn't say anything more, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
