Shen Lingxi and his entourage entered Beiqiu City in a mighty way, and the soldiers guarding the city saw Shen Lingxi's pedestrian Pingbei General's Mansion flag, and knew that this group of people was not easy to mess with, so they quickly cleared the road and let Shen Lingxi's frame pass.

Shen Lingxi didn't care so much, she sat in the carriage and ate candied fruit comfortably, leisurely looking at the scenery outside the carriage.

Wangcai got Shen Lingxi's instructions, so he quickly ran to the county guard mansion in Beiqiu City to inform Shen Lingxi that he had arrived in Beiqiu City.

The soldiers in front of the Beiqiu City County Guard Mansion saw that Wangcai had the waist card of the Pingbei General's Mansion, so they didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly went to inform the county guard.

Lu Yong, the county guard of Beiqiu City, heard that the young general who had raided the county guard mansion of Donghua County was coming, so he was so frightened that he hurried out to greet him.

Seeing Wangcai alone at the door of the mansion, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The frame of the major general is about to arrive, so let's arrange it quickly. ”

Lu Yong, the county guard, heard that Wangcai said that Shen Lingxi was about to arrive, so he hurriedly arranged for someone to go to the kitchen to order the reception banquet, and then asked the housekeeper to go to the warehouse to choose a few precious gifts.

Shen Lingxi came to Beiqiu City to look east and west, and also looked at some ordinary things on the street for a long time.

It seemed that Shen Lingxi was wandering around, but in fact, Shen Lingxi was observing whether there were any secret guards of the Feng Kingdom around him.

However, after looking at it for a long time, I didn't find any acquaintances, so I had to get in a carriage and go to the mansion of Beiqiu City.

When I arrived at the gate of the county guard's mansion, I saw that Lu Yong, the county guard of Beiqiu City, had been waiting there for a long time.

Shen Lingxi stepped down from the carriage, and Lu Yong, the county guard of Beiqiu City, hurriedly stepped forward.

"Xiaguan Lu Yong has seen the young general, the young general has been tired all the way, please go into the county guard and take a good rest, the reception banquet has been prepared for the young general. ”

Shen Lingxi saw that the county guard nodded when he saw him for the first time, and he felt a little happy in his heart.

"Lu Yong, yes, well, it looks like you're still very sensible. Compared to Xiao Yuanqi in Donghua County, it is much better, if you live comfortably in Beiqiu City this time, Young Master Ben will definitely tell your father-in-law about the exploits of Lu Junshou. ”

Of course, Shen Lingxi knew what these officials needed, so he said these illusory words.

Lu Yong, the county guard of Beiqiu City, heard Shen Lingxi say that he wanted to speak well for himself in front of General Pingbei, and he was so happy that he let go of his heart.

So he invited Shen Lingxi and his party into the county guard mansion more diligently.

As soon as he entered the county guard's mansion, Shen Lingxi swaggered to the main seat in the main hall, and the county guard Lu Yong didn't think there was anything wrong.

So I hurriedly beckoned the kitchen to serve the food and the like, and after a while of busyness, a table full of sumptuous meals was set.

Shen Lingxi sat unceremoniously in the head seat, which can be said to be anti-guest-oriented.

Lu Yong knew that this young general was domineering, so he didn't dare to say anything, but kept saying compliments at the wine table.

Shen Lingxi ate a few bites of the dishes of the chef of the county guard's mansion, and felt that the taste of these dishes was still good, and it seemed that these ingredients were relatively expensive.

Like bear's paws, sea fish, venison, shark fin...... In short, a full table costs at least a thousand taels of silver.

Shen Lingxi thought it was delicious, but he couldn't eat too much so as not to be flattened by the county guard, so he put it down after eating a few bites.

"Lord Gunden, do you have any specialties in Beiqiu City or anything like that, or are there any fun spots?"

Shen Lingxi had almost eaten, and began to knock on the side to ask for benefits.

This is Shen Lingxi's skills honed by those businessmen who bribed when he was in Donghua County, and to put it bluntly, he wants the other party to pay more price.

When the county guard Lu Yong heard Shen Lingxi say this, he knew what it meant, so he hurriedly asked the housekeeper to take out the prepared gifts.

The housekeeper was also a good idea, so he moved several large boxes out of the back hall in two clicks.

"Hurry up and open the box, and let the major general see if he is satisfied. ”

Lu Yong, the county guard, hurriedly asked the housekeeper to open the boxes full of gifts.

So Shen Lingxi saw that a large box was full of gold bars, and another big box was full of silver ingots.

After just two glances, Shen Lingxi turned his head and snorted coldly unhappily.

"Lord Gunshou, do you think it's good for you to prevaricate me with such a little thing? Or do you think I'm called Hanako and want to use this little thing to send me away?"

Shen Lingxi felt that it was not impossible to send money, but you have a box of gold and a box of silver, how much money can you have, at most it is only a million taels of silver.

Shen Lingxi really doesn't care about this little money now, besides, this directly sends such a heavy amount of gold and silver, which is too conspicuous and difficult to take away, this feeling is a bit of a toy.

So Shen Lingxi immediately pulled his face unhappily.

However, Shen Lingxi's move scared the county guard Lu Yong so much that he almost sat on the ground.

"That, Major General, this is a specialty of our Beiqiu City! If the Major General is not satisfied, I can add some more, I can add some other things. ”

The reason why Lu Yong used two boxes of gold and silver was actually out of the intention of saving some money, after all, it was only a few silver tickets of several million taels of silver, and it was not so intuitive to directly use gold and silver.

Shen Lingxi didn't eat this set, so his tone was stern and his attitude became very indifferent.

Lu Yong knew that he couldn't fool him, so he could only take out all the things at the bottom of the box.

Shen Lingxi reluctantly smiled after looking at some of the pills and magic weapons that the county guard took out later.

"That's right, Lu County Guard, as long as you work hard in this county guard position. What are these things? Actually, these things are just things outside the body, and your official position is the greatest wealth, isn't it?"

Shen Lingxi asked Wangcai to put away the belongings presented by Lu Yong, the county guard, and then went to the guest room to rest satisfied.

The reason why Shen Lingxi wants to collect the property of these Xuanwu State officials is that he wants these officials to ruthlessly collect the people of Xuanwu Kingdom in the city of Xuanwu Kingdom, so that it will only be good for Feng Kingdom.

For Shen Lingxi to be so domineering, he was accustomed to being a dog, and Lu Yong, the county guard of Beiqiu City, had the urge to cry.

There is no way, this Beiqiu City is within the control of the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun, although the county guard Lu Yong is not Tuoba Jun's direct subordinate, but the influence of the Pingbei general Tuoba Jun in the places controlled by his army is incomparable.

So the county guard Lu Yong could only hand over most of his net worth, and then serve this little master with good food and drink in the following days.

Shen Lingxi ate and brought in Beiqiu City, making the entire Beiqiu City a miasma, seven days later, Shen Lingxi saw that the county guard Lu Yong was about to collapse, so he could only reluctantly call the escort team and continue to set off towards Jianye.

Walking on the road, Shen Lingxi asked Wangcai to take stock of the harvest in Beiqiu City, and was surprised to find that at least five million taels of things had been harvested.

Although I, Lu Yong, the county guard of Beiqiu City, have almost taken out all my net worth, but compared with Xiao Yuanqi of Donghua County, it is really too far behind.

However, Shen Lingxi felt that it was understandable for this, after all, the scale of Beiqiu City was indeed much smaller than that of Donghua County, and of course, as the county guard, Lu Yong's net worth was worse than that of Xiao Yuanqi, not a grade.

Shen Lingxi set off to Jianye all the way leisurely, and tried his best to scrape everywhere he went, because Shen Lingxi felt that there must be a lot of money to spend on Jianye, as for the millions of taels given by Tuoba Jun, how could this money be enough for Shen Lingxi to squander in Jianye.

So Shen Lingxi went all the way to ask for bribes, but as he got farther and farther away from Donghua County, the influence of Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei, became weaker and weaker.

Although these county guards along the way will come out to greet Shen Lingxi's arrival with courtesy, it is almost impossible for Lu Yong, the county guard of Beiqiu City, to give Shen Lingxi all his wealth.

Some county guards even directly invited Shen Lingxi to have a reception banquet and then stopped showing up, which made Shen Lingxi, who was used to eating and taking, very dissatisfied.

"Young master, this is no longer a place that our Pingbei General's Mansion can influence, and of course these county guards don't have much awe for the young master. Therefore, the young master has to get used to it, especially when he returns to Jianye, where there are many high-ranking officials, and there are many royal nobles. Therefore, the young master's character should be a little more restrained, otherwise there will be something in Jianye, and General Pingbei will be beyond the reach of Donghua Hospital!"

Seeing that there are still a few days to enter Jianye, the largest and most prosperous capital of Xuanwu Kingdom, he was worried that Shen Lingxi would make trouble in Jianye, so Wangcai risked being scolded and kindly reminded Shen Lingxi.

Shen Lingxi is not an unreasonable person, and he is also a little grateful for Wangcai's kind reminder.

In fact, Shen Lingxi knows all about these things, in fact, the reason why he worked hard everywhere along the way is because he wants to run his own network in Jianye.

And if you want to establish a network in Jianye in a short period of time, Shen Lingxi feels that there is really no faster way than to open the way with money.

"Okay, Young Master Ben knows. Wangcai, you dog, I didn't expect that only you dared to say this to Young Master Ben, or only you were the most reliable!"

Shen Lingxi praised Wangcai in a scolding tone, which moved Wangcai for a while.

Three days later, Shen Lingxi and his party entered Jianye City, the capital of Xuanwu Kingdom.

When they arrived in Jianye Shen Lingxi, the arrogant guards were all much more honest, probably knowing that all the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Xuanwu Kingdom in Jianye City were in Jianye City, and if they accidentally offended any big man who couldn't be provoked, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

Shen Lingxi also put away his stubborn behavior when he entered Jianye City, because the same Shen Lingxi didn't want to bring unnecessary trouble to Tuoba Jun, not to mention that her identity was fake after all.

So Shen Lingxi and his entourage quietly returned to Tuoba Jun's mansion in Jianye.

The housekeeper of the mansion had long known that the young master was coming back, so he waited in front of the mansion early.

Of course, these subordinates who are far away in Jianye's Tuoba Jun Mansion have also heard that their master has accepted a righteous son named Yuwenlong, so they are mentally prepared for the arrival of Shen Lingxi, the young master.

Back in Jianye's General's Mansion, Shen Lingxi began to understand the situation of the entire Jianye City.

The steward of Tuoba Junfu has been in Jianye for many years, so he knows everything about Jianye.

"Butler, do I need to pay attention to anything in this Jianye City, and who else do I need to befriend and which I need to watch out for, do you know this?"

Shen Lingxi returned to his courtyard, which was a delicate small courtyard on the right side of the General's Mansion, judging from the decoration, Shen Lingxi felt that this courtyard was mostly left by Tuoba Jun to be a place for his children to live in the future, but now it is cheap Shen Lingxi.

The housekeeper saw that the young master asked about these situations as soon as he came back, and nodded with some relief, so he didn't dare to slack off and stepped forward to report.

"Back to the young master, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries in this Jianye City, but there are only two families with enough power to compete with our Pingbei General's Mansion, of course, Your Majesty does not count here. ”

"Oh, I see, that's not a lot, I just don't know which two I need to pay attention to?"

Shen Lingxi didn't want to provoke the big people he couldn't provoke, so it was best to figure it out as soon as possible.

The steward organized the language and said: "Actually, the status of our Pingbei General Mansion in our Xuanwu Kingdom court is still very high, except for Your Majesty, our Great General's Mansion only needs to be afraid of Prime Minister Li Cheng, as well as the power of relatives on the queen's side. Among them, Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry, is the queen's own brother and the biggest official in the court of the queen's relatives. These two adults are what our Pingbei General's Mansion is afraid of, and there is nothing else to say. ”

The steward focused on Prime Minister Li Cheng, as well as Luo Luxing, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, these two people are now in the court of Xuanwu District, and they are equivalent to the figures of Pingbei General Tuoba Jun, who is fighting abroad and calling for wind and rain in the army.

Knowing this, Shen Lingxi probably knew it, that is to say, it was best for her not to provoke the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was best for Luo Lu Xing, the servant of the Ministry of Ministers, to treat each other politely.

"Then are there any officials who have made friends with us in the court?"

Shen Lingxi knew about the potential threat, and now he wanted to know some officials who had close contacts with the Pingbei General's Mansion, lest the flood wash away the Longwang Temple family and not know the family.

The steward thought for a while, and then continued: "There are quite a few officials who are good friends with our Pingbei General's Mansion, but most of them are military generals, so there are very few civilian officials. In fact, most of the civil officials are the henchmen of the prime minister, and the few civil officials who did not take refuge in the prime minister also took refuge under the command of Luo Luxing, the servant of the ministry. Therefore, there are basically no good civil officials in the court who are good with our Pingbei General's Mansion. ”

"I see, it seems that our General's Mansion can really only have some influence in the army! This is a bit troublesome, but I will pay attention, since I am back, let's see if I can improve the situation!"
