In the afternoon, Lin Yufeng came to the border checkpoint and sent an invitation from Tie Zheng, the lord of Heishui City, inviting Zhu Xiaoqi to attend the dinner of the City Lord's Mansion. The banquet was set for seven o'clock in the evening.

After reading the post, Zhu Xiaoqi fell into deep thought. He'd been in Blackwater City for a while, but at least he hadn't visited the city lord yet. It is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and it is not because he does not go because he holds up or looks down on Tie Zheng, but because his original intention of coming here is to muddy the waters, and it is inconvenient to mix things with these characters with heads and faces. For example, that Liu Feng, if they had dealt with each other before and maintained harmony on the face, it would be difficult for him to kill him.

Now, Tie Zheng turned upside down and invited him to be such a small officer, which is reasonable but unreasonable.

It makes sense, because he killed the old wolf head and slaughtered Liu Feng, and now he has become a force to be reckoned with in Blackwater City, since Tie Zheng did not suppress him, then he should face up to his existence and accept him. The public invitation to him to the dinner party was an acknowledgment of his status, probably in order to take the opportunity to complete the reorganization of interests and strike a new balance.

It's unreasonable, it's because the time of the banquet is too coincidental, so he sent Zheng Mengxiang, who assassinated him, away, and the invitation post over there came. No matter how you look at it, this matter has nothing to do with that god stick bishop. However, the ladder came at a good time, and he and the Divine Stick no longer had to compete on the back of the tiger. It's not a good thing for both parties to tear their faces and continue to fight, he has too many things to do, and he doesn't have the time to spend it with that god stick with a deep background, and he doesn't want to provoke the big boss of the god court right now. It's wise to sit down and have a good conversation, and then take what you need.

Lin Yufeng, who was sitting on the chair next to him, was drinking tea while looking at the sand table in the center of the room with great interest. This thing is used to study and command battles, and he has seen it a few times in Tie Zheng's mansion, but the level of control is much worse than the one in front of him. The sand table on Tie Zheng Mansion can only roughly show the terrain around Blackwater City, while the one in front of him has all the elements such as mountains, rivers, roads, etc., been reduced according to the scale and installed into it, so that the area around Blackwater City can be seen clearly at a glance.

"Why did the city lord suddenly remember me?" Zhu Xiaoqi put down the post and asked lightly.

"This dinner was organized by Bishop Nguyen Yushu with the help of his brother-in-law, and he wanted to clear up some misunderstandings. My brother-in-law said that the decision on whether to accept it or not is up to you, and he respects your choice. Lin Yufeng replied calmly.

"I'll go, the city lord's face must be sold. Do you know who else was invited to the dinner?" asked Zhu Xiaoqi again.

"There are a lot of guests, all of whom are well-known figures in Blackwater City. However, there are only three key guests: Bishop Nguyen Ngoc Shu, Colonel Qiao Dali, and you, the stationmaster. Lin Yufeng replied.

"Colonel Qiao Dali?" Zhu Xiaoqi asked with a frown. He had no impression of the man at all.

"He is the commander of the 14th Regiment of the 31st Division of the 31st Army in the Southwest Theater of the Empire, and Blackwater City is his defense area. Lin Yufeng added.

"Oh, it's my immediate boss. Zhu Xiaoqi smiled self-deprecatingly.

"This Captain Qiao, you may be able to pay attention. Before you came, he had a hard time. Lin Yufeng reminded.

"How?"

"In this place of Blackwater, no one has ever sold his account. This time my brother-in-law invited him, I'm afraid it was also for your sake. ”

Zhu Xiaoqi heard the meaning of Lin Yufeng's words: as long as he handled it properly, Qiao Dali, who represented the military, would support him, and he would have an extra weight in his hand in the negotiation process of power reorganization.

Everyone has the instinct to pursue profit, and Qiao Dali should know very well who changed his situation in Blackwater City. The troops of the Southwest Theater belong to the second-line troops in the imperial army sequence, and they do not have too important combat missions themselves, so it is normal for them to be unwelcome. In a place like Blackwater City, where all forces are mixed, let alone a small regiment commander, even a division commander, I'm afraid no one will take him seriously. But the emergence of Zhu Xiaoqi changed this situation, and his strong rise made the military's position in Blackwater City rise.

"Thanks! That's a pretty good idea. Zhu Xiaoqi looked at Lin Yufeng and nodded with satisfaction.

"I hope that after you get the support of Head Qiao, don't press my brother-in-law too badly, otherwise my sister will scold me. Lin Yufeng smiled bitterly.

"All I can say is that as long as it's not a matter of principle, I'll try to avoid conflict with your brother-in-law. Answering like this, Zhu Xiaoqi felt a little worried in his heart. He wants to take Blackwater City into his pocket, and sooner or later he will have to match Tie Zheng, who will Lin Yufeng, who is caught in the middle, help?

"Enough. Lin Yufeng said briskly, "I see a lot in common between the two of you. I believe that after a long time, after a few more contacts, you may be able to become friends. ”

"I hope so. Zhu Xiaoqi nodded, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you." I'm going to deal with that magic stick soon, do you know him?"

Lin Yufeng thought about it and gave a wonderful answer: "This is a real money fan, for him, there is no eternal enemy in front of wealth, and there is no obstacle in front of money." Moving his money is like cutting his flesh and letting his blood, if he is willing to cut his flesh and let his blood, it means that he has really made a big concession, and you can't force him anymore at this time. ”

"That's right! I see. Zhu Xiaoqi nodded thoughtfully.

"I'll take Xuanyuan Yu with you when you go to the banquet. The last time I negotiated with him, I was sweating. Lin Yufeng finally said.

"He went to easily awaken someone's painful memory, so you should go with me!" Zhu Xiaoqi shook his head.

Lin Yufeng was a little surprised, but quickly nodded.

When Zhu Xiaoqi set off for a banquet in Heishui Town, Xuanyuan Yu was visiting beauties on the black market in Yanxia Town. After Liu Feng was killed, the atmosphere in the town became as cheerful as the New Year overnight, and the beauties that were rarely seen on weekdays showed up on the streets, making him dizzy.

Qin Li was by his side, but he was not in the mood to look at the beauties, his eyes wandered around the market, looking for what he needed. Because he has an unreliable boss, he has a lot of things in his hands. First, he had to recruit a group of blacksmiths and settle them in the town of Fengling, and then select a group of skilled men from among them to start producing arrows. Secondly, he had to find a group of renovation workers to renovate the auction house. In the end, he had to purchase a large number of strange things according to the list drawn up by Ma Hanwen, and send them to Liu Feng's mansion, which is now Ma Hanwen's research base.

"You dead liar, dare to cheat the uncle's money!" After wandering around for a while, there was a sudden quarrel in the crowd in front of him, which immediately attracted Xuanyuan Yu's attention.

Several men leading the horses surrounded a thin figure in the middle, shouting angrily.

"Return the money, or Lao Tzu will beat you to death!"

"Yes, return the money, if you don't return the uncle, I will sell you to a nightclub!"

"Stinky girl, blowing so hard, it turned out to be a fake medicine, and I lost a lot of money!

"Go check it out. Looking at the trembling thin figure squatting on the ground, Xuanyuan Yu's heart moved, and he glanced at Qin Li.

The two quickly surrounded them. Qin Li gently tugged at the sleeve of a man leading a horse, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's the matter?"

"We are all in the horse business in the market. This little girl came to us and said that she had a miracle medicine in her hand that would improve the horse's strength and endurance. We tried it and it worked, so we bought it for a lot of money, but we didn't expect it to work the next day. So, we're going to find her now and ask her to return the money!" the man said indignantly.

"He's lying! When I was selling medicine, I made it very clear that the medicine could only be used for a short time, and once the properties of the medicine passed, it would be ineffective. The girl suddenly tilted her head and cried. The pear blossoms bring rain, and her delicate face looks particularly pitiful.

"How dare you talk nonsense!" a big man raised his arms viciously.

"If you keep fighting, your arm will be gone. Xuanyuan Yu's cold words made the big man's raised hand stop in the air.

"Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you, you'd better leave it alone. The big man turned his head to look at him, his eyes fierce.

"Although Liu Feng is dead, there seem to be a lot of wicked people in Yanxia Town. Qin Li, you go back and take someone to clean it up!" Xuanyuan Yu looked at Qin Li and sighed lightly.

"Okay!" Qin Li replied, flashed behind the girl, and helped her up.

A few big men leading the horses seemed to think of something, and their faces suddenly became ugly.

"What the hell is going on, girl?"

"They wanted a prescription, but I didn't know. The little medicine I have on me was given to me by someone else. I came to Yanxia to join my relatives, but my relatives were gone, and the money on me was spent, so I had no choice but to sell it. The girl looked at him and said with tears in her eyes.

"She's right, right?" Xuanyuan Yu asked with a cold face as he looked at a few men leading horses.

Several people nodded awkwardly.

"Get out!" Xuanyuan Yu whispered a word. Several big men suddenly ran away into the distance as if they were in amnesty, leading their horses and running towards the distance.

"Thank you!" the girl bowed deeply towards Xuanyuanyu, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Xuanyuan Yu called out to her.

The girl looked back in amazement.

"Girl, you're really not a good liar. Xuanyuan Yu smiled, "If you want to cheat money in Blackwater City at this level, be careful to put yourself in it." ”
