In terms of the quantity and quality of the magnates, Jiangdu is not comparable to the imperial capital; in terms of the combat power of the garrison, Jiangdu is not comparable to Zhongdu; in terms of the long history, Jiangdu is not comparable to Shendu; in terms of the spirit of immortals, Jiangdu is not comparable to Xuandu; in terms of the reserves of heaven and earth, Jiangdu is not as good as the northern capital; but there is one point, Jiangdu is rich, and it is almost the place with the most rich people in the world, and it is also the place where commerce and trade are the most prosperous.

Wealth produces harmony, and harmony produces wealth.

Since the defeat of Murong Xuanyin in Jiangdu, the city of Jiangdu has become more and more harmonious, except for the upcoming His Royal Highness the King of Qi, who has made this harmony a little overshadowed, everything else is so happy.

The wind of the grassland can't blow the drunken gold fans of Jiangdu, and the water of the Qinghe River can't flood the singing and dancing of Jiangdu City.

This is Jiangdu.

With Murong Xuanyin's two returns, the status of the three Lafayettes on the top of Jiangdu City has become more and more stable, but recently there is a news that has spread quickly in Jiangdu, which is quite interesting.

The young master of the Sword Sect who had caused a big stir in the Demon Suppression Hall took over the major industries of the Sword Sect in Jiangdu, which made many people who knew the inside story feel a little unbelievable.

The White Lotus Sect and the Wenxiang Sect were not so surprised, Tang Banyan Tree and Mrs. Luo knew that this was Zhang Xueyao who had already begun to lay out for Xu Beiyou to "take over", but in their opinion, Xu Beiyou was better to concentrate on improving his own cultivation than to hurriedly involve in the business path that he had never been in contact with before, and it was only right to subdue the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall as soon as possible.

At this time, Xu Beiyou, who has become the nominal number two person of the Sword Sect, has rushed back to the Gongsun Mansion in the city from the Donghu Courtyard outside the city, and today's Gongsun Mansion is closed to visitors, because there are too many facts in charge of the various affairs who came to the door to ask for a meeting, which caught Xu Beiyou a little off guard, and after leaving the Song official to deal with it, he took Zhang An, who had just come from Zhang Xueyao's hands, to the back house through the corridor.

In fact, Zhang An, who is exquisite, is better at dealing with these various characters than Song Guanguan, but Xu Beiyou still needs Zhang An's help with some things, so he can only let Song Guanguan barely resist for a while.

Coming to the study, Xu Beiyou sat behind the bookcase, pointed to a large pile of account books on the table, and said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, now I am a little confused and don't know where to start. ”

Zhang Anping said calmly: "The people below have been comfortable all these years, in the past, as long as they reported to their aunt at the end of the year, there were a lot of greasy loopholes that could be exploited, and now there was suddenly a young master above their heads, they didn't dare to say anything more on their faces, and they must be uncomfortable in their hearts." ”

Xu Beiyou said with emotion: "Senior Sister Zhang said it thoroughly, so according to Senior Sister Zhang's opinion, how should I deal with it?"

Zhang An said softly: "See the move, and respond to all changes with the same." ”

Xu Beiyou looked at the ledgers piled up on the table thoughtfully.

Song Guanguan suddenly appeared outside the study, and said in a voice that was neither light nor serious: "Young master, Li Qinglian is here, see or not see?"

Xu Beiyou groaned for a moment and said, "Let her in." ”

The house has its own servants to guide Li Qinglian, and Xu Beiyou took Zhang An out of the study to greet him.

Compared with Xu Beiyou, Li Qinglian has an innate advantage, after all, she grew up with Zhang Xueyao in Jiangdu since she was a child, and her relationship with all parties is not bad, and she is also familiar with people, if she doesn't work against Xu Beiyou, she can be regarded as a helper.

Today's Li Qinglian wore a pleated Ruyi moon skirt that was loved by the ladies of Jiangnan, and stepped on plain velvet embroidered shoes, everyone was a mess, followed by several female disciples and maids of the Sword Sect, and it seemed that she was the master of this mansion.

Song Guanguan followed silently, his face expressionless, obviously extremely indifferent to this master's mother's personal disciple.

Xu Beiyou smiled at Li Qinglian and said, "Why did Senior Sister Li come to me? Could it be that I am afraid that Senior Brother I will not be able to suppress the scene when I first arrive, so I will come here for me?"

Li Qinglian had a cold face, "If it wasn't for Master asking me to come over, I wouldn't want to come here." ”

Xu Beiyou nodded, and said with a light smile: "In the final analysis, you and I are both senior brothers and sisters, and the master and the master were also senior brothers and sisters back then, working together to rebuild the Sword Sect, starting from scratch, to have the big and small industries of my Sword Sect today, and you and I should be the same." ”

Li Qinglian was slightly stunned, then thought of something, suddenly turned red, and said in shame: "The surname Xu, you say it clearly, what do you mean 'you and I should be like this'?

Xu Beiyou was stunned and speechless.

――

Forty miles away from Jiangdu, there is a cavalry team that winds like a long dragon on the official road, and there are 1,000 elite iron horsemen.

Everyone wears black armor, covered with the same color, holding iron guns, carrying crossbows on horses, and swords at their waists.

In the position of the Chinese army of the whole cavalry, there is a magnificent carriage pulled by four black horses, cloud cover Zhu wheel, gold and tassels, the real prince car is undoubtedly driven, there is only one man in a black python robe in the wide carriage, looking at the appearance is only a year old, but he can be knighted as a prince and accompanied by the escort army, there is no doubt that he was born in the clan, and looking at the color of the python robe on his body, he is still the most descendant clan.

A general dressed in dark embroidered dark gold came galloping on horseback, then slowly slowed down to the side of the carriage and walked at the same speed as the carriage.

The general bowed on horseback and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the three divisions of Jiangdu and the officials of the yamen are welcoming the king twenty miles away. ”

The people in the carriage said lightly that they knew.

The general said no more, grabbed the horse's belly, and galloped forward.

The nobleman in the carriage was Xiao Bai, the king of Qi, who went to Jiangdu to raise money and transfer grain at the behest of today's son Xiao Xuan, Xiao Bai, who was originally closing his eyes and recuperating, suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Since Mr. has already come, why don't you show up?"

I saw that there was a sudden curling light smoke rising in the carriage, and the smoke slowly swirled, gradually condensing into a human figure, turning into a middle-aged elegant man, sitting opposite Xiao Bai, and said with a smile: "Taibai, this time I went to Jiangdu, but the time and people are all on your side." ”

Xiao Bai asked, "How do you say this?"

The scribe smiled and said: "The Qinghe River bursts, this great flood erodes several states, so that the disaster victims are everywhere, Taibai, you are ordered to raise food for disaster relief, this is a righteous name, it can be described as a heavenly time." Although Murong Xuanyin returned in Jiangdu, it also made several women in Jiangdu City tired of coping, and now they will not offend Taibai again, so as not to block all their retreats, this can be described as human, with these two points, Taibai must be smooth sailing. ”

Xiao Bai smiled: "Then borrow Mr. Jiyan." ”

The middle-aged scribe smiled calmly, "The time is not as good as the location, the location is not as good as the people, if there is no Murong Xuanyin in front, Taibai you will have to have a big trouble here, even if it is planted in this Jiangdu City, it is not surprising, now that Murong Xuanyin is opening the way, things will be much smoother." But then again, there is never a perfect thing in the world, at most it is only nine points expected, one point unexpected, I came here this time just to talk to Taibai about that accident. ”

Xiao Bai straightened his face and said solemnly: "You should listen to me." ”

Twenty miles away from Jiangdu City, there was already a light rain falling.

The civil officials of the three divisions, the yamen of the Secret Guard Mansion, and the weaving yamen, as well as several powerful governors of the Jiangdu garrison, have all lined up here according to their official ranks.

Greeting the king is second only to greeting the holy car, not to mention the king of Qi who is the crown of all kings, so it is reasonable to have such a formation. Except for the position of the left governor of the Jiangdu Army, which is still undecided, other officials of all sizes have arrived.

After a while, the light rain turned into a heavy downpour.

The raindrops the size of soybeans fell on the many officials who greeted them, and the sound was intense, but everyone had no intention of temporarily sheltering from the rain, allowing the heavy rain to drench themselves through, and still standing in place.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves thundering sounded.

A thousand horsemen galloped like a thousand rolling thunders.

At this time, the prince's car was no longer visible, and he saw a black python robe riding a horse first.

When the entire cavalry army passed in front of many welcoming officials, there was no intention of stationing horses, only a flat voice instantly overwhelmed the sound of rain.

"Into the city. ”
