The Xia family now monopolizes the medicinal herb shops, leather shops, smelting mills, dyeing mills, carving mills, etc., nearly ten industries in Yunhai City.

These are all things that he didn't even dare to dream of in the past, but now they are actually happening in front of his eyes.

Yunhai City was originally an important trading town in the entire Xuangu Continent, the most economically developed city-state, and now that the Xia family can be the king and hegemon here, it can simply be proud of the entire Xuangu Continent!

He unconsciously looked at Qi Tian, who couldn't wake up, and said in his heart, his little son-in-law was simply sent by God to save the Xia family and lead the Xia family to the peak.

"Second aunt, Xiao Xiaobing is looking for you. Ah Fu said as he walked quickly behind Qi Tian.

Qi Tian raised his head in a daze, and after saying "oh", he turned his head to look at Xia Xinyue, "Madam, Xiao Xiaobing is looking for me, I'll take a look." ”

Xia Xinyue nodded, she was very satisfied with Qi Tian's behavior of reporting everything.

In front of the Summer House.

"Big brother, you can count yourself here, you're in a hurry for me!" Xiao Xiaobing said impatiently as soon as he saw Qi Tian.

Qi Tian wondered, "What's wrong, what's so tense?"

Xiao Xiaobing hurriedly took a few steps closer and said in a low voice, "Lord Wang and Captain Ma Cheng left early this morning. ”

Qi Tian was stunned, he had been busy with Xia Xinyue and the unborn child recently, and he almost forgot about the transfer of Wang Shouren and Ma Chengwei from Yunhai City.

But he turned a little puzzled, "They left without even saying hello?"

Xiao Xiaobing nodded, "It is said that the Lion Empire has already sent troops from the north, and now it has already fought with the border.

The Imperial Capital City sent a carriage last night, and picked up Lord Wang and Ma Chengwei early this morning. ”

Qi Tian's face remained unchanged, but his heart sank, it seemed that the war was much more serious than he imagined, otherwise the imperial court would not even give time to clean up the soft and take people away.

In the past few months, he has forgotten about the war, and thinks that the court has agreed to some conditions, and he has settled the matter.

He raised his head and sighed softly, "I hope the flames of war will not burn our Yunhai City." ”

"Big brother, it's true that the flames of war won't burn us for a while, but there is one thing right now, which is more severe than war!

The new city lord and city lieutenant of Yunhai City have also arrived. Xiao Xiaobing's tone was a little heavy.

Qi Tian nodded, "Oh, normal, after all, Yunhai City can't be without an owner." ”

Xiao Xiaobing saw that Qi Tian hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet, so he stomped his feet in a hurry, "Isn't the eldest brother curious about who the new city lord and city captain are?"

Qi Tian raised his eyebrows, "Who is it?"

"The city lord is the deacon of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Imperial Court, Huang Wu, and the city captain is the general of the Taiwei Mansion, Xie Jingxuan.

It is said that both of them are flatterers and do not have any real talents.

Huang Wu is said to have spent 10,000 gold coins to get the position of deacon of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

And Xie Jingxuan's father is Lieutenant Xie Jin, relying on nepotism, he went to the Taiwei Mansion as a general.

And there's..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Xiaobing's face was a little hesitant, as if he didn't know what to say.

"What's more, just say, is there anything we two brothers can't say?"

Xiao Xiaobing thought for a moment, "These two are both members of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Poof", Qi Tian laughed, "What does it have to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and me?"

The prince is in the imperial capital, and he and I are both people who can't beat each other. ”

Xiao Xiaobing was stunned for a moment, looking at Qi Tian in disbelief, as if he was looking at an alien.

"What, what I said is not right? Could it be that the prince who is above 10,000 people under one person still has any concern for me, a grass man?" Qi Tian said with a nonchalant smile.

Xiao Xiaobing nodded, "Doesn't the eldest brother know that your father, Lord Qi, has openly sided with the eldest princess?"

Qi Tian was stunned, and then remembered that he still had a father in his life, who was still a big official in the court, and was one of the three dukes.

it!

Nima!

I didn't see you when Lao Tzu was killed, but you counted me in the court battle!

Qi Tian is so smart that he knows what's going on with a little thought!

At present, the eldest princess and the crown prince are completely torn apart, and their father is on the side of the eldest princess.

Now that the prince's people have come to Yunhai City to be the city lord and city captain, what good fruits can he eat in the future?

Daddy, you took the notice to kick you out of the house seriously, but did anyone else take it seriously?

Anyone would have thought that there is an endless blood relationship between father and son, maybe you sent me to Yunhai City on purpose!

Qi Tian's brows twisted into a pimple, as the saying goes, the people don't fight with business, business doesn't fight with officials, and the two big officials who took over Yunhai City at the moment are their father's sworn enemies.

Right now, even if they are honest at home, they will take the initiative to come to the Xia family and trouble themselves.

After all, the Xia family at this time is like a fat wild boar, and whoever wants to eat meat will be the first to think of the Xia family.

What's more, my father's boss is still the eldest princess, and those people just don't want to slaughter the fat pig of the Xia family, they also want to kill themselves, and then go to the prince's side to show their merits.

A huge sense of crisis emerged in Qi Tian's heart.

Qi Tian's face became extremely cold, and his eyes shot a terrifying cold light.

Xiao Xiaobing stood aside, startled.

In the past, Qi Tian has always been smiling and not caring about anything.

Now this cold appearance really makes people feel chills in their hearts, and they are inexplicably afraid.

"By the way, one more thing. Xiao Xiaobing said.

"What?" Qi Tian looked at Xiao Xiaobing.

After Huang Wu came to the City Lord's Mansion in the morning, he immediately asked the yamen to investigate the tragedy of the Li family's annihilation, and all the yamen were released.

He even put down his words, if the yamen can't find it, let Xie Chengwei send the city guards to hunt down those family members and maids who wiped out the Li family, and all the sinners must be arrested!" Xiao Xiaobing continued.

Qi Tian's eyes gradually narrowed, and he said in his heart, it seems that this Huang Wu has a lot to do with the Li family, but Li Jiaomei didn't mention that the Li family has anything to do with the capital before.

Now with Li Jiaomei's relationship with herself, it is impossible for her to deliberately hide herself.

Unless she doesn't know that there is such a person as Huang Wu.

"Brother, do Big Brother a favor. Qi Tian said.

"Big brother, please say, brother will definitely go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up. Xiao Xiaobing also knows the seriousness of the problem.

"During this time, be sure to help me keep an eye on Huang Wu and Xie Jingxuan, if the two of them have any trouble, they must tell me as soon as possible.

Now that the Xia family is in the limelight, and I am the child of the eldest princess, they will definitely do something to the Xia family and me.

If I'm right, it's probably going to be a few days away. Qi Tian's tone was very serious.

Huang Wu is obviously a speculator, and it took 10,000 gold coins to get the position of deacon of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which shows that this person has no real talent and learning, and he is very stupid.

And that Xie Jingxuan is the son of an official eunuch, and he went to the Taiwei Mansion to become a general at a young age, so he must be the second generation of officials with eyes above the top and no one in his eyes.

He may be able to restrain himself a little in the Imperial Capital City, but now that he has come to Yunhai City, he is the largest official except for Huang Wu, and he will definitely become unscrupulous.

Xiao Xiaobing nodded, "Big brother, don't worry, as long as the two of them have any trouble, my brother will definitely tell the eldest brother as soon as possible, and I will also tell the patrolling city guards in the past few days to let them come to the surrounding area of Xia Mansion more." ”

Qi Tian nodded, then looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Brother go quickly, you can send someone in the future, you and I will see each other as little as possible during this time, and don't let the two of them know about the relationship between the two of us." ”

Xiao Xiaobing slapped his thigh, and immediately understood the meaning, "Brother is reckless, after receiving this news, brother was afraid that the eldest brother would suffer, so he immediately rushed over, and the brother took his leave." ”

Qi Tian nodded, watching Xiao Xiaobing leave.

He did not enter the mansion immediately, but paced back and forth in front of the mansion gate.

Now that these two people have come to Yunhai City, it is extremely unfavorable to him and the Xia family!

Qi Tian can't wait to take the initiative to post another notice to sever ties with his father, once again showing the world that he has nothing to do with the Qi family, but... Can the people on the prince's side believe it?

He thought about it for a while and decided not to tell Xia Xinyue and Xia Zhengxin about this matter first.

After all, Xia Xinyue has been pregnant for several months, and her belly is bigger, in case she has fetal gas because of anxiety, but she will hurt her eldest son.

Not to mention Xia Zhengxin, when you are old, don't scare out a heart attack.

"Why did the young master come out?" Liu'er walked quickly to Qi Tian's side.

Since Qi Tian came out of prison, Liu'er has returned to Qi Tian's side.

"Liu'er, you go to the dart bureau now, let Uncle Nine and Long Wu come to visit, I have something to say. Qi Tian said.

"Okay, Liu'er will go now. Liu'er turned around and walked towards the dart board.

Qi Tian sighed and turned to walk towards the living room.

"Brother-in-law. ”

Xia Ping'an walked towards the door of the mansion at this time.

Qi Tian raised his eyebrows, "Why are you going?"

"I want to go out on the streets. ”

"No way!"

Qi Tian directly rejected this request.

"Hmm, why?" Xia Ping'an asked puzzled.

Qi Tian didn't want to talk to him too much, "As long as you promise not to leave the house recently, I will let someone you think about day and night to accompany you." ”

Xia Ping'an often went to Tianhailou during this time, but every time he was disappointed, because Xing'er was not in Tianhailou every time.

This little fat man seems to be really in love with Xing'er, and he is not interested in any of the women recommended by the old bustard, and he is bent on finding Xing'er.

At first, the old bustard also said that Xing'er had returned to her hometown, but a few months had passed, and Xing'er had not come back, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Xing'er was no longer in Tianhailou.

He hated it very much, why did Xing'er leave Tianhai Tower, or even leave Yunhai City, why didn't he tell himself!

"People who think about it day and night?" Xia Ping'an said strangely.

Qi Tian smiled mysteriously, "Yes." ”

Xia Ping'an immediately became pleasantly surprised, "Could it be Xing'er?"

Qi Tian snorted, "I don't know what you're thinking about this little thing, how about it?"

As long as you promise not to leave the house recently and not cause trouble, I will invite Xing'er to the house and accompany you every day!"

"Brother-in-law, what you said is true?" Xia Ping'an suddenly became extremely excited, and the wonderful person who had been thinking about it day and night was about to come back!

Qi Tian's face was displeased, "What did I deceive you?"

Xia Ping'an laughed "haha", "I can see Apricot again, I can see Apricot again!"

Brother-in-law, don't worry, I don't even have a room in this world, I eat, drink, and Lazar are all in the room!"

Qi Tian nodded, "Go quickly, remember, don't go out!"

"Definitely!" Xia Ping'an twisted his round body and ran quickly towards his room.

Qi Tian looked at Xia Ping'an's back, and felt a little guilty in his heart, it was because of himself that Xia Ping'an couldn't leave the house.

Although this matter has nothing to do with me, I am involved in it because of my father after all.

If Huang Wu and Xie Jingxuan can't find their own loopholes, they will definitely start from the people around them.

Xia Ping'an is a good choice!

"What? Did something happen?" Xia Xinyue didn't know when she came behind Qi Tian.

Qi Tian hurriedly adjusted his mood, "It's okay, everything is fine." ”

Xia Xinyue was stunned, "You still want to lie to me? You don't let Xia Ping'an go out for no reason, it's obviously something!"

"It's really nothing, I just want him to study more in the house, and don't go out and wander around and waste time. ”

"Impossible, you didn't care about it in the first few months, if you have to take care of it after Xiao Xiaobing came, something big must have happened!"

Xia Xinyue is smart, and she has been with Qi Tian for so long, so she also has a wanted understanding of him.

"War is coming!" Qi Tian, who was forced to be helpless, could only push the matter to the head of the war.

Before he found a way to deal with Huang Wu and Xie Jingxuan, he didn't want to talk about these two people.

Xia Xinyue frowned, "War? war with the Lion Empire?"

Qi Tian nodded.

"Could it be... They want to hit Yunhai City for the second time?" Xia Xinyue muttered, as if recalling the tragic situation of the last time the soldiers came to the city.

Qi Tian suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can also go to Qimen Mountain to take refuge, where the mountains are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with the current manpower of our dart bureau, even if the city guards are out, they will never be able to attack there." ”

Xia Xinyue didn't speak, she had long known that Qi Tian had a Qimen Mountain outside the city, and there were still a large number of Qimen people there.

Originally, she wanted to go over and have a look, but she caught up with the pregnancy, and then Qi Tian went into the dungeon again, and the matter was delayed.

"Okay, in the next few days, I will arrange for Ah Fu to send the valuable things and gold coins at home to Qimen Mountain one after another, even if the city is broken, we will not suffer heavy losses. Xia Xinyue said.

Qi Tian nodded and agreed with what Xia Xinyue said.

"I'm a little tired, you can accompany me back to my room to rest. After Xia Xinyue finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the wing.

Qi Tian nodded and followed behind.

After Xia Xinyue fell asleep, Qi Tian quietly got up and tiptoed out of the door.

Soon, Uncle Nine and Long Wu hurried to the Xia Mansion.

The three met in the back garden.

"Boss, what's going on?" asked Uncle Nine.

He knew that if there wasn't something extremely important, Qi Tian wouldn't be in such a hurry to find them.

Subsequently, Qi Tian told the two about Huang Wu and Xie Jingxuan coming to Yunhai City to serve as city lords and city captains.

By the way, I also talked about the party struggle between my father, the eldest princess, and the crown prince.

Just when he talked about Xie Jingxuan, Uncle Jiu's brows wrinkled unconsciously, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
