Regardless of the fact that Xiao Yi's family finally got together, although he felt a little happy when he saw Sun Lao standing next to him, he couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought of the upcoming army.

This Sun Lao's strength is certainly strong, but after all, he is only one person, how can he resist the opponent's tiger and wolf army?

Thinking of this, he looked at the old man Sun who was in his old age, and unconsciously felt a little sad, and asked: "It is my duty to protect this Xingyuan Mansion, why do you want to come to this troubled water? ”

"Sun is already dead. Now it's just a matter of finding a grave for the remnant. ”

The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were cloudy, and his body was shriveled, as if a gust of wind could blow it down. According to his age, he should be on top of the high hall at this moment, watching many children laughing and playing in the courtyard, occasionally showing some compassion, caring for those naughty little ones, and then spending the rest of his life in this peaceful day.

It's just that when he stepped into this place when the wolf smoke was everywhere and the war was raging, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Xiao Yi had no choice but to give up persuasion, and since he met this person, he understood that this old man has always been like this, and he has always been arrogant and lonely in the world. However, considering the crisis that the city was about to face, he had no choice but to accept Sun Lao's help, and at this critical moment, it was good to have one more person's help.

Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Yi was thinking about the things in the city, so naturally he wouldn't stay here for a long time, so he soon returned to the city with a group of people, and began to prepare the army in the city and assign tasks to all parties, so as to resist the soldiers and horses of the Jin Dynasty falling from the sky outside the city at this moment, even if the other party was just a straggler who was defeated by the Mongols, he had to be fully prepared.

It was night, the stars were dark, the moon was dim, and the breeze was not moving, so it was the perfect time for a sneak attack.

There are several sedan chairs and horses standing outside the yamen in the city, and the servants and servants sitting next to them are also worried and anxious looking at the situation inside the door. At this time, in the yamen, it seems that there are already bright lights and figures, more than a dozen tall or short, fat or thin figures sitting at the bottom, although the face and physique look different, but if you look closely, you can see that these people are all wearing brocade and silk, jade ornaments and bracelets on their wrists and necks, and they are obviously rich or noble characters.

It's just that at this moment, they have lost the calmness of the past, and they all have anxious faces, looking at Xiao Yi who is sitting on the top, if it weren't for the other party's official authority, I'm afraid that they would have already opened their mouths to ask about things outside the city.

Finally, a man couldn't help but ask, "Lord Xiao, I don't know why you summoned us here tonight?"

"Alas!" The long breath slowly exhaled, Xiao Yi opened his slightly closed gaze, swept over the faces of these people thoughtfully, and said, "I guess you already know about the soldiers and horses of the Jin Dynasty. So I'd like to ask you what you have to say, what do you decide about that guy who answered the Flame Ulin?"

These people are all prominent figures in the Xingyuan Mansion, and each of them has mastered an industry, whether it is tea, or green salt, or grain, or cloth, or herbs...... , it can be said that every one of them in this Xingyuan Mansion can be regarded as an existence that can turn the world upside down.

If you want to gather the strength of the entire Xingyuan Mansion to resist the invasion of foreign enemies, you will need their help!

Sure enough, with Xiao Yi's words, one of them stood up and asked, "Dare to ask Lord Xiao, is that the Northern Kingdom Wanyan Chen Monk sat down as a general? ”

These businessmen are also well-informed, especially since the place where they are located is the border of the three countries, so they have their own way of information, and what happened to them in the northern Jin country is naturally very clear, and they have their own uniqueness compared to the ministers of the imperial court.

"Exactly!"

Xiao Yi was not interested in continuing to hide it, so he admitted it, and said: "That's why I recruited you overnight, just to discuss how to repel the other party." Let them retreat from here in peace!"

As for defeating each other?

He didn't think that the few hundred soldiers in his hand, as well as those crude and rudimentary weapons, could deal with the opponent's hundreds of battles.

This time, it was immediately like a drought thunder on the ground, and these guys were blown up by the dissipation of the three souls, the seven spirits without an owner, and they were like a headless fly, chirping, and all kinds of words came out of their mouths, which made people upset for no reason.

"How could it be him? If he comes, then we're in trouble!"

"Pity my father's inheritance, is it just gone?"

"Alas, the three warehouses of grain in the family have to be gone?"

“............”

Hearing these complaints, Xiao Yi suddenly felt bad, and shouted with a calm face: "Shut up for me." This is the yamen, and we are discussing how to defeat the enemy, not opening a vegetable market. And one by one, you can be regarded as a character on the head, you have to have some backbone to say the least, don't show this cowardly look, it makes people laugh for no reason. ”

"That's right. What Lord Xiao said is, it's just how to deal with the enemy, but I don't know what the opinions of a few brothers are?" said a fat man with a shiny face.

This is the owner of Dexing Building, whose real name is Qian Jun.

Seeing that someone raised the topic, someone immediately said: "Boss Qian has spoken, everyone is polite." As long as we can, we will certainly support it. "He was very thin, with thin eyes and a slender beard, like an oil-stealing rat.

This person is the largest landlord in this Xingyuan Mansion, with thousands of acres of fertile land at home, and hundreds of tenants, which can be described as huge.

"Shu Qian, you said so, then Lord Xiao's invitation of course we have to help. In my opinion. The Flame Ulin replied that he had only come to seek wealth, and in that case we might as well give him some money and food, in which case I think the man would naturally take a detour. Another man said, this person is the opposite of the previous two people who have not been exercised, and his muscles are quite strong, and he should be the master of long-term exercise.

And he was a salt farmer who sold green salt, and all the salt in the nearby hundred and eight miles of land was sold by this person from the Western Xia.

One person next to him nodded again and again, and obviously agreed with several people's answers: "As Dou Hou said, it's not good to fight and kill after all." What's more, if that guy breaks into here, then the foundation of our fortunate half of our lives will be completely destroyed. Either way, let's get through this tribulation. "It's different from others, but this one is dressed as a Confucian scholar, and he has accessories such as folding fans and jade pendants, which makes people feel a little elegant and scholarly.

"That's right. The words of Cha Yuan are in the center. In that case, how about I pay 10,000 yuan?"

"I paid 30,000 yuan, plus 100 loads of grain. ”

"I'll pay 20,000 yuan, if you want to go to the salt, you can discuss. ”

"Ten thousand, after all, the family is small, so it can only be so. ”

“............”

Several people didn't wait for Xiao Yi to speak, and after discussing it, they decided on the next plan.

"Everyone. Seeing that a few people looked elated and even planned to do this now, Xiao Yi thought about the so-called collegiality and covenant in the past, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous, broke a bucket of cold water from the side, and said: "If it is according to your method, it is just to raise the soup to quench the boiling and drink the water to quench the thirst, and it will not be used at all." What's more, the other party doesn't know the purpose, if he does such an act so easily, he is afraid that he will be coerced by the other party and fall to pieces. ”

"Yes, Lord Xiao. That's not right for you to say that. ”

Dou Hou was a little dissatisfied, and when he saw the instigation of others, he also had the courage to say bluntly: "I once entered the territory of the Jin Dynasty, and I know that the territory has always been chaotic. The homeless people, bandits, officers and soldiers, all of them are extremely cunning, and they will always collect money. If you don't agree with each other, you will even hold a knife at each other, and my chest knife was injured by the golden soldier. ”

As he spoke, he unbuttoned his shirt to reveal a scar that ran across his chest, and continued, "I can say that I know a lot about the ferocity of those guys. With our Xingyuan Mansion, it is categorically difficult to compete with the other party. In that case, why not break the bank and let the other party retreat so that there is enough time?"

"That's right. This plan is not bad, how can it not be done?" A few people next to him were also instigated by Lian Lian, obviously afraid of the soldiers and horses outside the city.

They have long been accustomed to a comfortable life, and it is impossible for them to pick up their swords and fight those fierce people!

"Humph!"

Looking at the performance of these people, Xiao Yi's eyes were full of light, and he reprimanded without hesitation: "You people, you know these words." But do you know that the other person may not be so easy to talk to? As the saying goes, people's hearts are unpredictable, and there is a proverb that says, 'people's hearts are not enough, snakes swallow elephants'. If the other party sees our timidity, I am afraid that the lion will open his mouth and directly rob the entire Xingyuan Mansion. As for you, I'm afraid that you will be caught by the other party and sacrifice all your belongings in the torture, and your family members also want to be able to live in peace. They are afraid that they will also be reduced to slaves, and they will be driven and called by those soldiers. ”

Suddenly, he slapped the startled wood and shouted, "Jingkang's shame, have you forgotten?"

However, that voice never woke up a few people, all of them had an unknown face, their eyes were full of disdain, and they obviously didn't take it seriously. After all, in the heads of these people, there is never anything that money can't solve.

If it is consistent, two times are not enough.

That's giving three runs, four runs!

In short, as long as the other party's requirements are met, then the other party will definitely ensure their own interests.

This kind of businessman's thinking has long been seared into the bones of these people, and they have no idea what kind of danger they are in at this time.

At this moment, there were several noises outside the door.

Xiao Yi stood up immediately when he was startled, and saw a corpse thrown in the distance, and fell to the ground with a "bang", and the people who were full of blood trembled in horror.

"War, this is what it begins?"

Looking at all this, Xiao Yi felt a chill behind him, and his eyes were dull looking at everything in front of him.

Fallen corpses, spilled blood, this is war!
