The first day of the fourth month of the twelfth year of Jiaqi.

From early in the morning, Jowon Street, located in Edo's Jochu Ward, was put under martial law.

A large group of brocade guards dressed in civilian clothes blocked all the passages in and out, and no Japanese were allowed to enter at will.

Cars from various cities in the Wa district stopped in front of the solemn and majestic Senhesuo building.

"Yan Jun, don't come unharmed."

The laughter of the hundred households of Himeji Castle was still as heroic as ever, and before the vehicle he was riding in had not stopped, he opened the door and jumped down, quickly catching up with Li Jun, who had just stepped on the steps of the thousand households.

"Look at your refreshed appearance, you've made a lot of windfalls lately?"

Li Jun looked at the smiling Qiulong and quipped.

"I can't talk about a windfall, but it's a lot more abundant than before."

Qiu Long clasped his hands into fists and said with a smile: "This is thanks to the Yongle Palace Dao Order that Yan Jun gave me, if it weren't for the fat paste that was scraped off his body, the fire I cleared the Honghu this time wouldn't have burned so vigorously." ”

"If you say that, you're out of sight. I was ordered to go to Osaka Castle to deal with the 'Shin-kun', and if you hadn't led someone to come so far to support, I would have been planted there, so I should have thanked you. ”

"I just slaughtered a few little minions, and I didn't even scratch the oil skin, at most I consumed a few tanks of oil, what kind of effort is this? Instead, I took advantage of you. ”

"Okay, do we two brothers have to be so pretending to be polite?"

Li Jun stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Qiu Long's shoulders and said with a smile: "But you are really ruthless, I heard that Fu He of Yongle Palace was forced by you to even sell his underwear, and he was almost sold into Kabukicho as a cowherd to perform to make money." Aren't you afraid that Yongle Palace will find you trouble in the future? ”

"What I'm most afraid of is that the brothers below can't afford to wear the best armor, can't carry the best guns, and can't afford to play the best chicks. Other than that, what else is there to be afraid of? If he wants to take revenge, he just comes. But if he can't kill me, I'll have to get him to sell himself in Kabukicho. ”

Qiu Long said bitterly: "Yan Jun, you don't know how profitable this thing is, plus his gimmick of Yongle Palace Daowu, that guest has to be lined up from Himeji Castle to your Inuyama Castle." It's a pity, we didn't understand it before, so we let this golden hen that laid eggs pay for redemption in vain. ”

"It's really fake, do you want to be so exaggerated?" Li Jun looked suspicious.

"What Lord Qiulong said is true."

The bustard ghost who was following behind Li Jun suddenly opened his mouth to take over the conversation: "But my lord, if you just put him in Kabukicho to pick up customers, it would be a bit too wasteful." ”

Qiu Long glanced back: "Raw face, brother, are you?" ”

"Bustard, my little flag."

Li Jun smiled: "He's from a miscellaneous background!" ”

Qiu Long's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Then how can you make money, brother, tell me quickly?" ”

"As Dao Wu of Yongle Palace, then his divine thoughts must be very powerful, and he can completely link multiple Huangliang dreams at the same time, and even if the authenticity of the dreams is reduced to a minimum, he should be able to do a hundred people and pick up guests in the Huangliang dream at the same time."

The bustard ghost said seriously: "As long as you give him enough rest time to ensure that his thinking does not fall into a collapse too early, and then set the price of a single time higher, he can make tens of millions of treasure money in a month." When he can't hold on anymore, we'll all be able to use his disintegrated fragments of thought to construct many reusable dreams and make a lot of money. Dao Order is still very strong, as long as they don't toss them and don't even have the strength to solve them, they usually won't die so easily. ”

"Grass, you're a fucking talent!"

Qiu Long was dumbfounded when he heard this, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the bustard ghost: "Professional! What a fucking professional! ”

A heavy armor in Himeji Castle, who was walking side by side with the bustard, was full of horror at the moment, and subconsciously distanced himself from this thick-eyed man.

Sure enough, there is only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.

The bustard ghost is indeed the evil ghost among the old bustards!

"Okay, okay, Qiulong, are you too poor to die? If you really do what the bustard ghost said, then your Himeji Castle House will be bombarded by the Daozu magic weapon above your head the next day, and there will be no scum left! ”

Li Jun couldn't help but interrupt the two, for fear that Qiu Long, who was used to living a hard life before, would be hot-headed for a while, and really led people to the Manchurian area to arrest Fu He again.

"Yan Jun, don't worry, I haven't lost my mind yet, of course I won't go to Yongle Palace."

"That's good"

Before Li Jun finished speaking, he saw Qiu Long excitedly saying to the bustard ghost: "But if I bring out some heinous death row prisoners from the edict prison and labor reform according to the method you said, can this business be done?" ”

"Theoretically, it should be possible, but the value of those people is not as good as a living Yongle Palace Dao Order, and"

The bustard ghost glanced at Li Jun, whose face was dark, and reminded: "If you need the approval of a thousand households from the edict prison, and use it in any field other than interrogation, it is against the law." ”

Qiu Long pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said with a solemn face: "Then what if I don't mention people to come out, just let the guests enter the edict prison, and then let them out when I'm done?" And the edict can also control the time, so it's not a problem to have three autumns a day."

Suddenly, not only Li Jun, but even the bustard ghosts, who were accustomed to seeing all kinds of customs and scenes, were shocked by Qiu Long's whimsy.

Prison style is very common, but Jinyi Wei edicts prison style, which is a bit shocking.

"My lord, think twice!"

Chongjia's face was like a mournful examination, for fear that Qiu Long would really do such a hurtful thing in order to make money.

"If I were Lord Qianhu and knew that you dared to use the edict as a place of entertainment, then I would definitely let you in for a while first!"

Li Jun's vicious tone made Qiu Long feel a chill all over his body, and his feverish mind calmed down.

"They were all killed by King Ming's group."

Qiu Long sneered, "I'm also worried about living that kind of fucked life that can't even give out the pensions of my brothers. ”

"Rest assured, they are now mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and they can't protect themselves."

The words stopped abruptly, and Li Jun suddenly looked back at the bottom of the steps.

A 'black horse' sprayed with a furious diamond pattern on the front hood of a car slowly braked.

The door of the co-pilot seat was the first to open, and a burly figure squeezed out, bald head and round eyes, a face full of meat, and a black coat supporting a bulging bag, and his appearance was somewhat similar to the King Kong on the body.

As he got out of the car, the body of the black horse was raised by more than an inch, which was enough to show the weight of the other party's body.

The black-clothed monk walked quickly from the back of the car to the back seat, and respectfully pulled the car door.

King Ming, dressed in snow-white monk's robes, stepped out of the car, and his raised gaze happened to collide with Li Jun's downward gaze.

"It's been a long time, Yan Jun."

The corners of King Ming's mouth hooked up a faint smile.

"It's been a long time."

With the same smile, Li Jun stayed on the black-clothed monk beside King Ming for a moment, then patted the dragon who was like a great enemy, turned around and led everyone into the Thousand Households.

In the venue, Su Ce, who was a thousand households in Jinyi Wei in the Japanese District, did not hide behind the scenes and remotely command this time, but sat in the venue early and waited for everyone to enter.

It is precisely because of this that a group of brocade guards entered the venue, and they did not quarrel and quarrel as before.

And honestly sat in his position, waiting for Su Ce to speak.

Li Jun and King Ming sat on Su Ce's left and right hands, facing each other across the table.

On one side of the King of Ming sat Shiga Castle Hyakino, Okayama Castle Hyakunko Kakumu, and Matsue Castle Hyako Kazuha.

And Li Jun's hand is the dragon of Himeji Castle, Kanazawa Castle Kiki, and the leopard tail of Shuri Castle.

The remaining two castles of Osaka and Matsumoto, because of the death of 100 households, could only be replaced by a general flag, and they hung at the bottom in fear.

The two sides are clearly divided and evenly matched.

"Now that everyone is here, let's have a meeting."

Su Ce, who was in the first place, closed his eyes and slowly opened his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife swept from left to right.

"The purpose of this meeting convened by the old man, some of you must already know."

Su Ce said in a calm tone: "That's right, the list of consolation envoys sent by the New Donglin Party to the cities of our Wa District has now been determined. ”

A list was projected on the long table, and Li Jun saw the three words Inuyama City at a glance, followed by Langya Wang's family in parentheses, and another name, Wang Changting.

"I helped you all take a look in advance, without exception, this time they are all first-class gate lords in the empire, and there is at least a Confucian order behind these surnames."

"You should be able to think clearly about the purpose of their coming to the Japanese district, and I won't talk nonsense."

Su Ce said loudly: "I can also imagine any concerns in your hearts. I'm here today to give you a reassurance, if you want to bet your net worth on which gate, it's up to you, I just ask. ”

"But I only have one request, don't regret it if you choose, don't lose all your chips by then, and then run to the Qianhu Institute to hug the old man's thigh for help! Winning is winning, losing is losing, you are all soldiers brought out by me, don't embarrass me. ”

The voice settled, and there was a dead silence in the huge venue.

The hundreds of households around the long table had heard some rumors more or less before the meeting began. Therefore, at this moment, in addition to being dignified, his face is quite calm.

But the general banners behind them were all horrified, and they didn't know why Lord Qianhu said such a thing.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you ask you to draw knives and fight hard with these gate valves, and give me a stinky face one by one? ”

"If it's a knife drawn, it's good, life and death are downplayed, and if you don't accept it, you will do it!"

The Qiu Long urn sitting beside Li Jun said angrily: "When did our Jinyi Wei in the Japanese District suffer such a grievance? ”

"Want to them? Yes! With the strength of our Jinyi Guard, we should be able to last for ten days and half a month. ”

Su Ce smiled and said: "With the habit of Confucianism, we should be able to build a grave, and we can still be neighbors when the time comes." ”

"At least I'm dying happily!" The dragon roared with a stalk around his neck.

"You're comfortable, what about those boys under you?! And what about their families on the Empire's homeland?! What about your own wife and children?! ”

Su Ce's voice turned cold, and a pair of tiger eyes glared at Qiu Long angrily, "Think about it with your brain, you are almost forty years old, and you still can't talk with your brain." I should have waited for your kid to die in the hands of those rogues, and I actually promoted you to be a hundred households, I really don't know how the brocade guards of Himeji Castle came over all these years. ”

Qiu Long's face turned red suddenly, and he didn't dare to continue to speak, but his hands on the armrests of the seat jumped up and clicked.

"I don't have any family."

A hoarse voice followed.

But the person who spoke was actually the hundred households of Shiga Castle on the side of King Ming, Ye Lao!

"Your Excellency, you know, my family has been killed a long time ago, and it belongs to one person who feeds and the whole family is not hungry."

Su Ce looked at the other party deeply, "Then what about the people under you?" ”

"I'll let them choose for themselves, and if they want to be prosperous and rich, then they will gamble on it. If you want to live a frank life, then follow me. ”

Ye Lao looked at the expressionless King Ming silently, and said with a smile: "Compared with a behemoth like the Confucian Gate Valve, we are indeed as small as ants. But there are too many ants, and they can also devour elephants! ”

The words were so heartfelt that all the hundreds of households present couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

"Ye Lao is right."

Qi Qi stood up and looked at Ye Lao with his hands clenched into fists: "I used to think that you were not a fucking good person, so you liked to hide behind your back and calculate us." But for your words today, I apologize to you! ”

Ye Lao's face changed for a while, and he was a little unsure whether the grandson in front of him was mocking or praising himself, so he could only snort sullenly.

"Qianhu, you know me, although my Qiqi's family is not dead, but it is because I have never had the opportunity to return to the empire, otherwise I would have killed them all with my own hands."

Qi Qi grinned and said, "I'm just a mixed-race bastard who is not welcomed, and I have lived comfortably in this life only in the Jinyi Guard of the Wa District." Now that someone else is going to demolish my nest, but you let me stay aside and watch, and you have to wave the flag and shout to those scholars and masters, it is better to kill me directly! ”

"That's it!"

Qiu Long echoed loudly, and even the hundred households of Shuri Castle, who had a steady style, nodded their heads.

Su Ce had a faint relief in his eyes, and scolded with a smile: "You little rabbits, you are like ghosts on weekdays, and you can fight for the three melons and two dates for the New Year's Day. Is this a change of character today? Don't let go of the wealth and wealth in your hands, but one by one you have to rush up to death to be happy? What is the reasoning behind this? ”

"I know what you're thinking, but have you ever thought about what would happen if you kicked those people out? They don't need the gate valve behind them to make a move, they only need an official document from the New Donglin Party to cut off our supplies, and the Jinyi Guards in the Japanese District will immediately break themselves! ”

"I have a way to make money!"

Qiu Long shouted loudly, and the bustard ghost sitting behind Li Jun was covered in cold sweat.

Fortunately, Su Ce didn't give Qiu Long a chance to continue, "Even if you can solve the logistics problem by yourself, but without the identity of Jinyiwei, what do you rely on to gain a foothold in the Wa District?" ”

"Establish yourself as a king, or do you want to be a coward?"
