Chapter 47: A Scene of Yongdu
Early the next morning, the Wansheng Building in the inner city of Yongdu unveiled the red cloth around it, revealing the true face of the Wansheng Building, because of the time, Jiang Cheng did not decorate the appearance of the Wansheng Building, only changed part of the interior.
At Jiang Cheng's suggestion, the guard of honor quickly beat gongs and drums, and some people gathered on the street.
Under Jiang Yong's control, some people from Tsing Yi Wei took the lead in coming to the scene and presented ceremonial gifts, followed by the shopkeepers of major restaurants in the inner city invited by Jiang Cheng.
The next one is arranged by Jiang Wu, some middle and low-level officials in Yongdu, they don't have much communication with Jiang Cheng, they are really customers, and when they open, there must be customers.
Soon, the heavyweight guests arrived, it was Li Changqing and them, a total of six people came, they were very low-key, no ostentatious, all dressed in civilian clothes, like a rich and noble person, they asked people to carry a plaque, the inscription on it is Li Changqing.
Li Hongsleeves also arrived, she seemed to be low-key, but in fact she was extremely high-profile, because she came in a carriage, a carriage specially provided by the royal family, a discerning person would know at a glance that when Li Hongsleeve appeared in the hall, it was obvious that the scene was quiet, but soon, Jiang Cheng took Li Hongsleeve to the private room on the second floor.
Wansheng Building is not a backyard, there are about 300 square meters, downstairs in addition to the counter, there are thirty-two chapter tables, there are three models, large, medium and small, and upstairs there are ten boxes, the specifications are not the same, but the decoration is absolutely luxurious, Jiang Cheng spent a lot of money here.
"Jiang Cheng, it seems that your Nancheng Fusi is doing well, and many officials from the DPRK and China are cheering."
"Eldest princess, those are my father and my brother's friends, and I am a small official with sesame mung beans"
"yes, I can't see it."
Li Hongsleeve said with a smile, if it is an official of Tsing Yiwei, forget it, but there are also some officials of the Sixth Department of the DPRK and the Central Committee, although they are not high-ranking officials, but she also knows that the Jiang family is not so simple as it seems.
However, Jiang Cheng is now branded by her, even if he makes friends with many people, it will be her help in the future, so Li Hongsleeve will not be very angry, but appreciates Jiang Cheng's ability more.
Jiang Cheng didn't say much, the exposure of this bit of power would not attract Li Hongsleeve's attention, if she didn't even let go of this bit of power, then her mind would be too narrow.
The big guy is here, Jiang Cheng can't entertain other guests, fortunately, Jiang Yong appeared and presided over the overall situation, otherwise Jiang Cheng, the shopkeeper of the temporary training, would not be able to deal with this kind of thing.
Li Changqing and the others didn't stay long, and left after about an hour, but their posture had already done enough to show their support for Jiang Cheng, which was enough.
The day passed quickly, and the employees of Wanshenglou, who were tired for a day, also organized a dinner, but Jiang Cheng left without eating a few bites, and there were still people waiting for him in Kangle Fang, it was Yanyan, Yun'er and Sun Heng.
From the next day, the business of Wanshenglou began to boom, and under the publicity of Jiang Cheng, Wanshenglou became the leading high-end restaurant in Yongdu City, especially now that the weather is cold, it is extremely popular.
·······
Outside Yongdu City, in an inn, an old man, two young and three people were eating, these three were Zhou Fu'an, who came back from the Southern Wilderness, his adopted granddaughter Zhou Fanghua, and Chen Chengyuan, the grandson of a good friend
"Tomorrow we are going to enter Yongdu City, after entering, we must be very careful, Yongdu City masters are like clouds, ask Xiange, Qingyiwei, the royal Li family has a large number of masters, congenital is nothing at all, once we miss and are captured, the nest of the Southern Wilderness is discovered, they will send a large number of masters to attack, and our clansmen will all be spared"
"Grandpa, I want to know, who is this Jiang Cheng and why do you value him so much"
"He is a person I can't see clearly, so to speak, my understanding of him is very rare, and he is like a layer of fog"
"Then why does grandpa still believe him"
"Xiaohua, if you don't believe him, who can you believe, our identity means that we and Da Wei are mortal enemies, the kind that never dies, rather than being found and killed by Da Wei, it is better to take refuge in a Jiang Cheng and lurk in Yongdu City, I don't think Li Changqing would have thought of it when he died, we would hide here, this is called black under the lamp"
Zhou Fu'an explained that they fled to the Southern Wilderness as a last resort, and the Southern Wilderness was very dangerous, not only barbarians, but also poisonous insects, snakes, ants and other poisons, and even a large number of demons.
Coupled with the hardships of life over there, I don't know how many people want to return to the territory of Great Wei, Chen Chengyuan's mission in Yongdu City this time is to inspect Jiang Cheng on behalf of others, and if the investigation is passed, the remaining people will be relocated one after another through Jiang Cheng's relationship.
"Grandpa Zhou is right, the southern wilderness is difficult, our clansmen continue to die in various accidents, we must move back as soon as possible, Yongdu City is a good place, if there is a chance, we have to control Jiang Cheng"
"Cheng Yuan, I advise you to do less of this kind of thinking, Jiang Cheng is extraordinary, not so easy to control, don't lift a stone and hit your own feet"
"Grandpa Zhou, I know, I won't mess around"
Chen Chengyuan said with a smile, he said so, but when the time comes, he can't help but Jiang Cheng, if the hat of an immortal rebel party is covered, can Jiang Cheng still not listen to them, otherwise the news will leak, and the Great Wei Imperial Court will not tolerate him, and he will definitely be killed quickly.
There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, the three of them entered Yongdu City, Zhou Fanghua and Chen Chengyuan had been in the Southern Wilderness for ten years, and it was the first time they had seen such a prosperous city, and they were suddenly shocked and speechless.
"In such a prosperous world, it should be my Chen family"
Chen Chengyuan looked at the prosperous Yongdu City, his eyes were a little hazy, the surname Chen was the royal family of the previous dynasty Daxuan, his ancestor was the heir of the Great Xuan Taizu, because the king went to Nanzhou, called the king of the south, after the destruction of the great Xuan, the king of the south raised troops to resist the Great Wei, but soon failed, and the remnants of the clan hid in the southern wilderness.
Ten years ago, Chen Chengyuan's father and eldest brother organized the assassination of the disciples of Wenxian Pavilion in Yongdu City, but the result was still a failure.
After decades of hearing and seeing, Chen Chengyuan is still extremely resentful of Dawei, and he still has the dream of recovering the country in his heart.
The three pretended to be countrymen who came to seek refuge with relatives, and lived in a warehouse, Zhou Fu'an went out to contact Jiang Cheng, and after some inquiry, Zhou Fu'an squatted near Jiang's house and saw Jiang Cheng at sunset.
"How did you come back, so fast"
"I'm idle, I want to come back early, I have to repay the kindness I owe you"
"It's not convenient for me to talk now, you go out of town early tomorrow morning, I'll look for you"
Jiang Cheng replied, after leaving the address with Zhou Fuan, Jiang Cheng quickly returned home, and now that he is quite concerned, he still has to be careful in Yongdu City.
At noon on the second day, Jiang Cheng found an opportunity to sneak out of Yongdu City and met Zhou Fu'an in an inn outside the city.
"Jiang Gongzi, I don't see you in October, I didn't expect you to be so powerful"
Zhou Fu'an sighed, after inquiring this morning, he learned that Jiang Cheng is now famous, Wanshenglou has become a scene in Yongdu City, and the name of the people is extremely loud, and it is one of the places where outsiders have to go after entering Yongdu, and the aftermath of solving the case in Pingyuan County has not yet dissipated.
"It's just a little false name, how could Old Zhou come back so soon"
"Does Jiang Gongzi know about the Southern Wilderness?"
"I've heard of some, there are barbarians, poisonous insects and beasts, and even demonic spirits"
"The rumors from the outside world are less than half of the real horror of the Southern Wilderness, just the demons, I know no less than seven, those seven places have become a forbidden area for our human beings, no one dares to approach, and there are many poisonous insects and beasts, and the natives of the Southern Wilderness die every year from poisonous insects and beasts."
"So Zhou always wants to bring his people back"
"I can't hide it from you, yes, they want to come back"
"Isn't Old Zhou looking too highly at me, I can protect you alone, or three or five people, but if it is thirty or fifty people, three or five hundred people, this is self-destruction, do you really think that Tsing Yiwei is a vegetarian?"
Jiang Cheng replied, Zhou Fu'an didn't tell him how many remnants there were, but there are dozens of them, dozens of immortal rebels are hiding in Yongdu City, isn't this looking for death, do you really think that so many people and horses in Tsing Yiwei are eating dry rice?
"Jiang Gongzi, I also know that this matter is extremely dangerous, but those of our clansmen are really going to not survive in the Southern Wilderness, even if we try our best to reproduce the population, but the population is still decreasing, if we don't think about it, it won't be long before we will die."
"How many of you are left"
"More than 1,800 people"
"So much"
"Yes, there are about 800 young and strong among them, and there are hundreds of women who practice martial arts, if Jiang Gongzi is willing, we can become a big help for Jiang Gongzi."
"Let me think about it"
Jiang Cheng nodded, he didn't really care about the number of people, two thousand people are not a lot, and there are thousands of people in Nancheng Fusi here.
However, these people are born enemies of Great Wei, but they can take advantage of it, such as some dirty work, and give it to them without worrying about the problem of news leakage.
"Jiang Gongzi?"
"In this way, you settle down first, as for the people in the Southern Wilderness, we will plan slowly"
"It's okay, I don't know how Gongzi Jiang will settle us"
"Will you be a landlord?"
"I didn't understand this"
"I'm going to buy some land, build a Zhuangzi, and hand it over to you to manage, but on the surface, we can't have any contact."
Jiang Cheng replied, it is too inconvenient to do some things in Yongdu City, he needs a reliable base, and outside Yongdu City, as long as you walk twenty or thirty miles, there is a mountainous area, the conditions are very good, cultivate some elite people and horses, after performing light skills, it only takes half an hour to reach Yongdu City, and there is anything that can be responded to in time.
