Wang Shouren nodded, "The old man is going back to the Imperial Capital City to report on his work, and Ma Chengwei should also return to the Imperial Capital City with the old man."

Although the new city lord and city lieutenant of Yunhai City didn't know who it was, the old man was very worried, once the newly appointed officials were inappropriate and greedy, it would be easy for the old man to guard Yunhai City for many years into a miasma.

The old man is not talented, and he wants to do something for the empire all his life, but he is only a sixtieth year, and his only achievement has turned this Yunhai City into the first trading town in the Xuangu Continent.

Nowadays, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the annual trade fair will also attract business travelers from all over the world to trade.

So the old man thought about it, and wanted Gongzi to become the real master of this Yunhai City!"

Qi Tian was shocked!

This... What is the situation!

The real owner?

Could it be that Wang Shouren wants to recommend himself as the city lord of Yunhai City?

This is to be ordered by the imperial court.

"Lord Wang, the juniors really don't understand what you mean. Qi Tian said with some embarrassment.

Wang Shouren smiled slightly, "This is for you." “

He pulled out a rectangular dark green waist card from his bosom.

The waist card is the size of a palm, with waves carved on the four sides, and a large character in the middle.

Qi Tian took it, "This is?"

"This is the old man's personal belongings.

Over the years, although he has not done anything earth-shattering, he has also networked some people's hearts.

The entire Yunhai City centurion and above officers recognized this jade plaque.

The old man didn't dare to say anything, even if the new city lord and the new city lieutenant arrived, they might not have this jade plaque. ”

After Wang Shouren finished speaking, he looked at the jade plate with a reluctant face.

It seems that this thing is very precious to him.

"Lord Wang, I can't ask for this thing. Qi Tian handed the jade card back.

But Wang Shouren waved his hand, "When the old man leaves this Yunhai City, this jade plate will lose its meaning."

And, if the old man's guess is correct, you'll need this jade plaque soon.

I only hope that by then, you will be able to lead the city guards to protect the people of the city from being harassed by foreign enemies. ”

Wang Shouren's eyes were a little lonely.

Qi Tian could see that Wang Shouren was very reluctant to leave this beautiful Yunhai City.

He was even more reluctant to step into this intricate and intriguing imperial capital city, but he had no choice, and someone in the court asked him to leave Yunhai City.

"Lord Wang, listen to what you mean, it seems that Yunhai City is also going to be involved in the battlefield?

Could it be a war with the Lion Empire?" Qi Tian wondered.

The Lion Empire is in the northwest of the Sunny Empire, and Yunhai City is in the southeast of the Sunny Empire, no matter how you look at it, the army of the Lion Empire should not hit Yunhai City, after all, there are so many cities in the north and west of the Sunny Empire.

Wang Shouren looked up to the sky and sighed, and shook his head slightly, "The old man just knows that the Lion Empire is here for money this time."

In the entire Sunny Empire, Yunhai City and Imperial Capital City are the richest, and if the old man is changed, he will also attack these two cities.

Moreover, the Lion Empire had invaded Yunhai City once many years ago. ”

Suddenly!

He had also heard about Yunhai City being violated by the Lion Empire before, and it seemed that the fiancé of the eldest lady of the Xia family was killed in that battle.

If the Lion Empire really came to rob the money, Yunhai City and Imperial Capital City were definitely the best choices.

Moreover, as the capital city, the imperial capital city must be heavily guarded, and Yunhai City is only a trading town, and the number of troops is also limited, so it is undoubtedly the best choice to attack Yunhai City.

It's just that they can really hit Yunhai City?

You must know that from the north, there are at least a dozen city soldiers to reach Yunhai City.

"Okay, the old man has been here long enough, and now he has to leave. Wang Shouren slowly stood up.

Due to his old age, his legs and feet still seem to be a little difficult to stand up.

"Lord Wang..."Qi Tian wanted to refuse, but Wang Shouren's words were sincere, but he didn't know how to say the words when they came to his lips.

Today, Wang Shouren came to behold, more like a lonely, but not a son or daughter, but a city.

"Okay, needless to say, now that your home is in Yunhai City, your beautiful wife and fresh sister-in-law are all in Yunhai City, even if the old man doesn't invite you, it is estimated that you will protect Yunhai City with your heart. Wang Shouren showed a smile that the conspiracy had succeeded.

He could guess that Qi Tian wanted to refuse, and through his previous understanding of Qi Tian, Qi Tian seemed to just want to live the life of a rich second generation with nothing to do...

Qi Tian was stunned, this Wang Shouren was really an old fox, and he was coaxing himself to be grateful to Dade just now, and now he began to calculate himself again.

"Remember, wanting to do things, being able to do things, and getting things done are three completely different realms. Wang Shouren gave Qi Tian a final word, and strode towards the gate of the dungeon.

Qi Tian's mind began to keep talking about what Wang Shouren had told him.

It took a long time for his eyes to become clear, and although he was in prison, he bowed vigorously in the direction of the cell door.

Wang Shouren tells all kinds of things about his past, and its essence is to show that what the ears hear is not necessarily true, and what the eyes see is not necessarily true, and only the essence of the heart is the real truth.

Since people want to do things, they must be left and right, and in order to achieve the final success, they have to compromise.

For the sake of Yunhai City, for the clear sky and blue sea of Yunhai City, as well as the fair hearts of the people and the fair environment, Wang Shouren had to be false to some forces, which gave him the opportunity to build Yunhai City.

This kind of open-mindedness that embraces all rivers and compromises, even if he calculates himself in the end, Qi Tian admires it from the bottom of his heart!

He looked back at the jade plaque with the word "benevolence" in his hand, and then carefully put it into his arms.

Suddenly, he recalled the proud appearance of the fourth princess, who seemed to be able to dominate all the life and death powers in the world, and the stubborn appearance of Sun Wei who died tragically and did not let go of Yin Dao's legs.

He no longer wants to experience the aggrieved feeling of being manipulated to live and kill power, and he no longer wants to experience the grief of his brother's innocent and tragic death!

He wants to be strong, he wants to be the strongest!

The desire that was in front of the barracks before began to roll in my heart again.

Suddenly, a tyrannical aura erupted all over his body, and the weeds around him fluttered a little in all directions.

The Divine Turtle Hidden Qi Secret was unconsciously removed again.

At the same time, the figure in the cell on the right, who had been in a daze, finally made some movements, he glanced at Qi Tian, and the corners of his mouth covered with black stains were slightly raised.

Soon, however, he reverted to his blank appearance, staring blankly ahead.

Qi Tian looked around, there was no one except for the stunned figure at the moment, he took out the "nameless" cultivation manual in his arms, and prepared not to waste time and cultivate as soon as possible.

Now that the heart, liver, and spleen have been cultivated, the next step is the lungs.

He crossed his knees on the ground and comprehended the outline of the lung cultivation ground word by word.

"The main qi of the lungs is to breathe the breath and the breath of the whole body, inhaling will affect the whole body, and exhaling will be full of energy..."

To put it simply, the lungs control the qi of the whole body and are the regulators of physical strength.

When the cultivation of the lungs is completed, the physical energy of the human body will be inexhaustible!

After he understood the outline, he closed his eyes and condensed his qi, expelled the distracting thoughts in his heart, and began to cultivate.

As before, the heart first flashed with golden light, then the liver, spleen...

The figure in a daze in the cell next to him glanced at Qi Tian again, and continued to be in a daze as if nothing had happened.

"Miss Li, how many more days do we have to stay in Yunhai City?" Shan Guard asked respectfully, standing in front of a tea table.

After Li Jiaomei left the Chengwei Mansion, she found an inn on the side of the street and stayed first.

"Right now, the war between the Sunny Empire and the Lion Empire is imminent, the four princesses can't stay in Yunhai City for a few days, after she leaves, let's go to the City Captain's Mansion and rush back to the imperial capital. Li Jiaomei sat on the tea table and gently raised a teacup.

"Are we going to kill that Qi Tian?" the Shan Guard asked suddenly.

Li Jiaomei raised her head and looked at Shan Guard with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Are you a little worried?"

Shan Guard lowered his head and groaned for a while, and continued: "This Qi Tian is said to be the third son of Lord Qi, if we take the liberty of killing him, will it cause trouble for you and Lord Zhang?"

"Bell", Li Jiaomei put down the teacup and sneered, "Trouble? Qi Tian has already been expelled from the house by Qi Wuxi, and he has nothing to do with the Qi family."

What's more, Qi Wuxian is upright and does things without any mercy, and the reason why Emperor Wu is reused for him is also because he will not be tempted by any temptation, does not listen to trust and slander, is selfless with an iron face, and does things justly and uprightly.

Now that he had posted a notice to leave the house one by one, he would not do anything for him, let alone take revenge. ”

"But Qi Tian is Lord Qi's biological son after all. Shan Guard's expression was a little worried.

Qi Wuxian's name is well-known in the entire imperial capital, from the royal family and nobles to thousands of people, there is no one who is not afraid.

Any criminal and corrupt person can be scared out of urine when he hears the name of Qi Wuxi.

"Well, you don't have to worry about that. Li Jiaomei was a little impatient, and the words of the single guard today were indeed a bit much.

Although he was worried about himself, it also hindered his revenge.

Shan Guard sighed and said helplessly: "Then I'll go out first." ”

After the single escort went out, only Li Jiaomei was left in the entire luxurious wing.

Suddenly, she smiled sweetly, took out a white and immaculate handkerchief from her arms, and gently held it in her hand and stroked it back and forth.

Unconsciously, she gradually lost her mind, and chuckled from time to time, as if she remembered something happy and sweet.

-------

Early the next morning, the military material procurement meeting was officially held in the central square.

The Xia family's plain pony, all of which were not left were bought by the imperial court.

Originally, the country was in danger, Xia Zhengxin wanted to sell the plain pony to the imperial court at a flat price, but Qi Tian was imprisoned, Xia Xinyue was angry in her heart, and she had to increase the price by 20% before she was willing to sell.

In this way, the Xia family sold all the plain ponies to the imperial court for 96 million gold coins.

Someone persuaded the fourth princess that since Qi Tian was still in prison, why not take the opportunity to suppress the price of the Xia family, after all, the price of 96 million gold coins was also a huge amount of money for the imperial court.

But the fourth princess didn't say anything.

On the other hand, in the column notice of the imperial court's purchase, there is no acquisition project of Plateau Malaysia.

After Li Zixiong on the sickbed knew the news, fortunately, he was already prepared in his heart, and when the Li family lost the competition, he thought of this day, and he would not suffer too much blow.

For this procurement meeting, he embezzled the money from the imperial court's purchase order and purchased all the plateau horses, which was twice as many horses as the purchase order.

Right now, the extra 30 million gold coins on the plateau Malaysia has become a hot potato, and I don't know how to deal with it.

However, the heavens do not seem to want to let go of the Li family.

On the second day after the end of the imperial court procurement meeting, a message came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the original purchase amount of 30 million gold coins for horses was now only 10 million.

The remaining 50 million gold coins were all used to purchase weapons and armor.

Because Li Jiaomei used her personal relationship to get the purchase money and procurement information in advance when the Ministry of Internal Affairs had not officially issued the procurement documents, when the official documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were issued, Li Zixiong spurted out a mouthful of old blood and fell into a coma.

You must know that moving the imperial court to buy official silver without authorization is a felony of killing the head, and it is even the nine clans.

In other words, if the Li family does not pay 50 million gold coins of weapons and armor to the imperial court on time, their Li family will be beheaded.

Due to the imminent war with the Lion Empire, the deadline for payment of goods has also been shortened to half a month.

At this time, the huge Li Mansion was already empty, and most of the family members went to recuperate from their injuries because of the previous big fight with the Xia family.

There are only a dozen family members and dozens of maids left in the mansion.

"Sambo, what should I do now, the Li family is obviously not good, let's find a way out quickly. ”

"Yes, and I heard that Li Zixiong embezzled the official silver of the imperial court to buy plateau Malaysia without authorization, and if he can't pay the goods on time, he will be beheaded all over the house, will this affect us?"

More than a dozen family members sat around the Samber housekeeper with worried faces, and now the Li Mansion was in great trouble, and everyone was in danger.

Sambo let out a long sigh, "I don't know if I am old, Li Zixiong is insidious and cunning, and he relies on the relationship between the second lady and China on weekdays, and he has almost done everything that has lost his conscience, and now that retribution is coming, I am afraid that he will not be able to hide anymore." ”

At this time, the Li family collapsed in front of them, and there were no respectful words such as Master Li in everyone's mouths, and they even called him by his name.

The family members immediately despaired, "Senbo, you gave us an idea, what should we do next?"

Sambo shook his head in annoyance, and after thinking about it for a while, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, "The Li family's father and son have no way to survive now, but we must not be involved."

If you brothers are willing to listen to the old man's words, there is only one word, rob!"

The family members were taken aback, "Rob, rob what?"

"Of course, they robbed the things that were still valuable in the house, and then went home separately and found another way out. ”

Most of them are young people in their teens or early twenties, and they have not read much, so their thoughts are relatively simple.

Now that Somber had given the idea of the robbery, they were all a little scared in their hearts.

"I agree! Let's be a housekeeper in the Li Mansion, it's really not as good as a dog, those ladies will take out their anger on us when they're in a bad mood, and Li Zelong's scum is often a scourge to the maid. ”

"That's it, do you remember what happened to Chang Wei and Qing'er?

The two of them were obviously getting better, but Li Zelong insulted Qing'er with the strength of the wine.

In the end, Qing'er committed suicide by throwing herself into the well, Chang Wei also hanged himself, Li Zelong is really a scum!"

"Hmph, the Li family doesn't have a good thing!"

"Samber, what to do, we all listen to you!"

"Yes, Samber, we all listen to you!"

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, not to mention that the Li family was already unpopular, even if it fell, it would be stepped on a few times.

The family members who were a little hesitant just now also strengthened their hearts at this time, and were ready to follow Senbo and them together.

"Without further ado, we'll act tonight!

You contact other maids and guys who have a good relationship, and whoever bullies you on weekdays will take revenge tonight!

As long as you can move away, don't let any of them go!" Samber said in a calm tone.

Although he has been in the Li Mansion for many years, he does not agree with many of Li Zixiong's practices, especially treating Li Jiaomei as a cash cow, he doesn't look like a father at all, and he thinks Li Zixiong is very despicable and vicious.

Li Jiaomei has been watched by him since he was a child, and every time he sees Li Jiaomei crying silently in secret, he is very uncomfortable.

But he is just a housekeeper, and Li Zixiong will not listen to anything.

"Good!"

"That's it!"

"I'm going to contact the others right now!"

Next, the family members and maids of the Li Mansion all put down what they were doing and prepared to do something to the Li family who had bullied them at night.
