Sioux City.

Li Dingxing and others picked a downtown entrance in the center of the city, ordered people to build a platform, and instructed the neighborhoods of Zhang Luo to come here.

"Is it necessary to abolish this? I feel weird, I'm embarrassed..."Xianglian'er tugged at the corner of Yi Xiaodao's clothes, and couldn't help but get nervous when she saw that the people in the audience were gathering more and more.

"Of course, there is, the Great Apocalypse is unified, the four seas are one, and the people can't just know Nanhuai and not know the Great Apocalypse. Since Nanhuai was the first domain to be attached to the Great Apocalypse, it should be the first to do so. Just like the invasion of the Eastern Japanese people before, you still know that the pursuit of the Eastern Japanese people went straight to Donglu, and the people should also regard the world as one place. In this way, Daqi can be comparable to the Han Dynasty and reproduce the glory of China! Yi Xiaodao replied.

Xiang Lian'er frowned, looked at Yi Xiaodao's small mouth, and said for a long time: "I don't understand... You were also born as a little beggar, how do you know so much? ”

Yi Xiaodao said with a smile: "Born humble, not a shame, can bend and stretch, only then can he be a husband." It is because I used to be a little beggar that I know what the people are thinking, and I now want to help Your Majesty and guide the people to think. ”

Li Dingxing walked over and said jokingly: "If there were more beggars like you in Nanhuai, maybe my father and eldest brother would have pulled the banner and counterattacked the imperial court." Hahahaha. ”

"Back to my grandfather, the ceremonial platform has been built." A guard reported.

"Yi Xiaodao, you have your idea, you have to come to the stage with me!" When Li Dingxing heard that the stage was completed, he immediately became a little nervous, and hurriedly grabbed Yi Xiaodao and said.

Yi Xiaodao nodded: "That's natural, I'll be in the name of the imperial court envoy, Xianglian'er, you also have to come to power, and you, the wife of the loyal duke, can be together." ”

Xiang Lian'er was so frightened that she retreated again and again, and Li Dingxing grabbed her to talk about it, so she made sense of her and went on stage together.

The three of them stood on the stage, and under the stage were five hundred Sucheng soldiers to maintain order. The front of the ceremonial platform was already full of people, rambling, all of them were helping the old and the young, and they all rushed over. Since the Li Mansion went to the throne of King Nanhuai, it has not done such a big thing! The folks want to see what they are going to do today.

Yi Xiaodao and the three of them stood on the stage, Li Dingxing was in the center, and Yi Xiaodao and Xiang Lian'er stood on the left and right. Li Dingxing is okay, after all, he was born in the Li family, and he is used to seeing big scenes, but he is still calm at this time, Yi Xiaodao is not too nervous, but Xianglian'er is nervous, and her legs tremble.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, you're my lady!" Li Dingxing quietly comforted, Xianglian'er held Li Dingxing's hand and slowly calmed down.

"Second son! What did you call us for? ”

"Is there something good thinking about us? Hahahaha! ”

"Don't make noise, don't make noise, be quiet! Listen to what the second son says! ”

The audience was full of voices, and those who had a relationship with Li Dingxing were the first to speak and cling. Those who have not seen it stretched their necks, wanting to meet the former first son of Nanhuai.

"Folks, be quiet, be quiet." Li Dingxing raised his hand to signal, the front row was quiet, and the people in the back row who couldn't see Li Dingxing were still crowded forward, and even quarreled in some places because of mistake.

Yi Xiaodao saw this bustling crowd, no matter how Li Dingxing and the lieutenant chief shouted, they couldn't calm down, and couldn't help but raise his breath in his chest and shouted: "Quiet!! ”

Today's Yi Xiaodao is no longer what it used to be, but in just half a year, Feng Guangnian's internal strength has been basically integrated. This loud shout shook the sky, and the frail people in the front row were even slightly dizzy. However, the effect was indeed obvious, Yi Xiaodao drank it with a bang, and the ceremonial stage was silent, and everyone instinctively closed their mouths.

Yi Xiaodao saw that the audience was quiet, and then looked at Li Dingxing. Li Dingxing cleared his throat and shouted with internal strength. It's just that the internal force is not as profound as Yi Xiaodao, and it shows a trace of elegance.

"Neighbors, under Li Dingxing, I have a salute with you!"

"In Sioux City, people should know me, and those who don't know me have heard of me. The second son of Nanhuai Palace! However, that is in the past, my father and brother died in an accident, I am difficult to take on the big responsibility, the title of King Nanhuai has also been revoked by the imperial court, and now the imperial court has named me a loyal duke, some of you know, some don't know. ”

"I have summoned you here today for the sake of this court. If someone in the family is a layman, they know that the imperial court and Chu Xiang are at war! Not for anything else, just because Chu Xiang did not respect the orders of the imperial court, he raised troops to attack the imperial court in vain! For this reason, I would like to ask you to donate some money and food for military salaries, to help the court quell rebellion, so that the people can live in peace and peace in the world! ”

After Li Dingxing finished speaking, the people in the audience looked at each other and talked in a whisper, and as soon as the people on the periphery heard about donating money, some of them had already begun to ignore the persuasion of the governor, and turned around and were about to leave.

"What to do? There's no movement..."Xiang Lian'er's little face was already red with embarrassment, and she felt that it was too embarrassing.

Li Dingxing clenched Xiang Lian'er's little hand and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he was also nervous.

Yi Xiaodao took two steps forward: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the envoy sent by the imperial court, if you have any questions, you can ask me." ”

A black man held down and dragged his mother-in-law, and couldn't help shouting: "The court is fighting with Chu Xiang, what does it matter to our Nanhuai?" Is your court bullying the king of Nanhuai again? ”

"The world is the land of the Great Apocalypse, and we are all His Majesty's people, so what is the difference between you and me? The King of Nanhuai is just a title given to the Li family by Qi Taizu six hundred years ago. If there is no imperial court in the capital and wars are raging, can Nanhuai get today's peace? Do you think Nanhuai can beat the north or Dingliao? Yi Xiaodao glanced at the black man and said indifferently.

The black man no longer speaks, because the world knows that the soldiers who are good at fighting are in the north, and the three major feudal kings in the north, "Anxi", "Beidi", and "Dingliao", all have hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers, and if they really fight, the five kings of the south together may not be able to beat the three kings of the north.

"Nanhuai is rich, but is this first question so shallow? I will return to Your Majesty, and when the Chuxiang war is over, I will build more schools and divisions in the land of Nanhuai. Your children will know better than you what righteousness is. Yi Xiaodao didn't speak politely at all, with a smell of contempt, as if he had changed a person. But I have to say that this is indeed useful, and many anxious people have slowly settled down.

"How do you donate it? That Zhang San donated one or two, and Li Si donated three dollars... It's so unfair, isn't that messy? A person dressed as an outsider said loudly, as if he had been through business, and he was more fair.

Yi Xiaodao only glanced at it, and said casually: "Donate more and donate less, but by personal conscience and ability." This matter is not a historical precedent, is it possible that this foreign master still wants to donate more, so that the court will double the reward? ”

The outsider's face turned red, and he turned around and wanted to leave, but the two sons on the side dragged him, and he had to stand in place after thinking about it. After all, it's a big family, so it's gone, and it's not good-looking.

From time to time, words such as "It's so fierce to ask for money" and "The Li family has lost power and was pinched to death by the imperial court" came to the stage, and Li Dingxing's face slowly turned red.

"Yi Xiaodao, don't provoke the anger of the people..."Li Dingxing said in a low voice.

Yi Xiaodao turned a deaf ear, took two steps forward, and asked the people in the audience, "Do you know the Dongwei people?" ”

"The Dongwai people? What are the Dongwo people? ”

"I haven't heard of it, who is it?"

"Is this lord wrong? It's Donglu, right? ”

Yi Xiaodao stood up straight: "Dongwu! What kind of people are they? It's a bunch of insatiable, murderous dwarves! Live right in the east, on the other side of the sea! It's not surprising that you don't know, just three months ago, 50,000 Dongwa people came to Daqi from Dongwa, do you know? ”

The people in the audience, whether they knew or didn't know, stretched out their necks and widened their eyes, and anyone was very interested in anecdotes.

"50,000 Dongwei people, the soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way to Donglu, all the way to Nanhuai. Nanhuai coastal area, Taicheng, Pau, Tongcheng and even Liancheng! The Dongwei people burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil! So why don't you know? It was the second son and his wife who led people to chase and kill all the way from Nanhuai to Donglu, and the bandits of Donglu, the martial arts sect, and even the people of Donglu participated in the battle together, driving 50,000 Donglu people back to the sea! ”

"It is also they who reassure the people and help them rebuild their homes. A group of people came from Donglu, they came after the second son, and now they are still on the beach, helping the people there build houses! They are nothing more than the people of Donglu, and there are even bandits! Now the imperial court and Chu Xiang's soldiers and horses are at war, Chu Xiang's people are suffering, and the monarchs... If you have the strength to spare, I hope to help you..."

"If you are all shy in your pockets, it doesn't matter, the official and the loyal public will do their best to raise money and food to support the court. Later, I will invite the troupe to sing some opera for everyone, and it is not in vain for you to come here. Yi Xiaodao finally said deliberately.

Everyone in the audience was silent, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"Me! I! I... I'll donate ten taels! No, fifteen taels! Someone in the crowd shouted, squeezed all the way to the side of the ceremony, climbed onto the platform, groped in his pocket, and soon, an ingot of ten taels of silver and five taels of broken silver were handed over to Yi Xiaodao's hand.

Yi Xiaodao looked at this person, his appearance was a little familiar, and when he was about to ask, the people in the audience suddenly shouted one after another.

"I'll donate three taels!"

"Five taels! Hey, don't go back and tell my daughter-in-law! I'll donate five taels! ”

"Ten taels, don't be too little, where can you put it?"

The waiting soldiers immediately carried baskets and ran to the ceremonial platform to collect the donated silver one by one. Li Dingxing took out a pen and paper from behind the salute and ran over: "How much everyone donates, write it down, write it down!" ”

The people who donated silver took out the silver and threw it into the basket, turned around and left, shouting one after another: "Don't remember, second son, will there be any more to watch the play later?" ”

"Second son, do you want food? I'll go back and get it, I'll go back and get it now! ”

"I still have some clothes to donate at home, oops, don't squeeze me!"

Yi Xiaodao's eyes were quick, and he fished the eldest sister out of the crowd: "Eldest sister, the midwinter has just passed, but you can donate if you want, I will leave a good place for your family to watch the play at night!" ”

Xianglian'er put her heart back in her stomach, and when she saw that the people were so enthusiastic, she also rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward to help.

Yi Xiaodao said goodbye to the eldest sister, dragged the two of the original donations, and pulled him aside: "This little brother, so familiar, have we met?" ”

The man smiled and said, "Master Yi is so forgetful, it's me, Chen Youda!" When Jiacheng and Yicheng were fighting for mines before, I sent you a letter on behalf of my uncle! ”

"Ahh I remember! How did you come to Sioux City? After Chen Youda's reminder, Yi Xiaodao remembered.

Chen Youdang said: "The mine is about to be mined, and my uncle asked me to come to Sioux City to buy some iron tools for the mine. Lord Yi, didn't I say you, why didn't you find a childcare for such a big thing? Hey, hey, hey, if you find a trust in the crowd, you won't be able to respond to every call! ”

Yi Xiaodao was dialed a little, and suddenly realized, it turned out that there were still these doorways, he was a member of the people before, and he never thought that there would be such a layer of cattiness. On Li Dingxing's side, he is his father and eldest brother Zhang Luo on weekdays, and he has never known about the matter of "trust".

Yi Xiaodao smiled: "Thanks to you, the fifteen taels just now..."

"Ten taels are the rest of the iron tools, and the other five taels are my own savings, it's okay!" Chen Youdang consciously made a great contribution and smiled even more happily.

"You've come just in time, I'm looking for you." Yi Xiaodao smiled more happily than Chen Youdang...
