After walking out of Diaoyu City, Fu Feng spat fiercely and cursed: "Damn, what stupid thing!"

"That's it, I just wanted to burn him to death!" Wu Xue snorted.

He patted her little head casually, and Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "Be your cute girl, swear words are not suitable for you."

Looking back at Diaoyu City, Yao Ruoyu smiled indifferently and said, "There is no need to conflict with him. After all, the other party is an imperial official appointed by the court. If he touches him, we will all become an imperial offender. At that time, we will hide from others. Where can we find others?"

"Isn't Chu Kuangge still there?" As soon as he said that, Yang Renjie smiled bitterly and patted his forehead, "I said it wrong."

"If Brother Qiang killed this person, Chu Kuangge would naturally settle the matter for him, but if it were us..." Jiang Siyu frowned slightly, then chuckled, "It's all up to him to feel."

Seeing their discussions lively, Yao Ruoyu smiled and said, "Anyway, I came here just to see what Hezhou City was like eight hundred years ago. Wait until I returned to the inn, let's act freely. By the way, Xunhuan and Doudou are responsible for going to see the carriage. After all, you can't always rely on leaving after the action. Then Siyu and Jingru go to buy some dry food."

"Where are you, the old demon?" Yang Renjie raised his eyebrows and laughed, "Are you finally going to show off your cadre's characteristics and just command, and no longer do things?"

He gave him a blank look, Yao Ruoyu laughed and scolded, "Yes, you bite me?"

"Wow, Brother Yao, you are degenerate!" Chen Meng immediately laughed.

Waving his hand, Yao Ruoyu laughed and said, "I took a boat yesterday. I had some insights on watching the river view along the way. I might have to break through, so I plan to consolidate my cultivation in the inn in the afternoon and find opportunities to break through to the seventh level of the third level."

"I'm going to break through again?" Yang Renjie widened his eyes and said in horror, "I'll go, don't be so fast, okay? Give us some chance to chase you! We are under a lot of pressure when you are like this!"

"Your words are so awkward, and it's easy for people to think of it?" Yao Ruoyu curled his lips and glanced at Wu Xue, who was already in the fantasy, and slapped the girl on the head with anger, then said, "Let's go, go back to the city of the city first."

*—*—*—*—*

At the same time, in the city lord's mansion in Diaoyu City, Yang Yiming sat on a chair with a pale face and stared at the man with a ram beard in front of him. Oh, let me tell you here that the man with a ram beard is Wuliang, and he is the chief clerk of Yang Yiming, who is responsible for the clerk's mansion on weekdays. To put it bluntly, he is managing the money that has been exploited.

"You mean, after we give gifts to our godfather this time, we won't have much money left?" Yang Yiming shouted angrily with a little irritable look on his eyes wide.

"Yes, yes..." After touching the sweat, Wu Liang whispered, "If it is based on the previous standards of giving gifts, then after this time, we will not have much money left. And it will be the end of the month. The soldiers in the city and servants in the mansion will also need their salary. I'm afraid the money is not enough."

"Then go collect taxes quickly!" After catching the forehead, Yang Yiming's eyes turned, "Well, we just fought with the wildfire thieves. Although we finally killed all the bandits after a fierce battle, we also suffered heavy losses. So we hope that everyone will contribute their strength to the prosperity of Hezhou City. Well, according to this statement, we will hurry up and collect taxes!"

Tsk, I have to say that although Yang Yiming was timid when facing wildfire thieves, he was still very talented in collecting taxes.

With a sad face, Wu Liang said helplessly: "Sir, the unruly people in Hezhou City regard us as a disaster. Every time they collect taxes, they are very uncooperative. They all say that their family has completely lost money..."

With wide eyes, Yang Yiming slapped the table in front of him and said angrily: "Why are they so unpredictable? Wuliang, you bring two teams of soldiers over, who dares not pay taxes, search the house directly and take away all the things that can be taken away? This group of troublemakers have turned against them!"

Seeing Yang Yiming's majestic expression, Wu Liang bent down respectfully and smiled flatteringly: "Sir, wise, I'll go now."

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Yang Yiming asked out his eyes, touching the beard on his chin and pondered, "What do you think today... what do you think?"

"That group of people? Oh, that group of people killed the wild, cough cough, those people who suddenly appeared after we killed the wildfire thieves?" Wu Liang quickly changed the subject in front of Yang Yiming's eyes, and then asked in confusion, "What's wrong with them?"

"Don't you think the three women in them are pretty good?" Yang Yiming smiled and said, "They all look pretty, my godfather should like it very much."

"Sir, do you want to..." After all, after being Yang Yiming's dog-headed military advisor for many years, Wu Liang instantly understood the city lord's meaning, and then hesitated, "Those people seem to be very strong? And they are friends of the general leader..."

"What are you afraid of?" Yang Yiming waved his hand angrily, "If it were others, I would still be worried about whether they would be anxious and refuse to submit, but I know that Xu Jingmiao is very indecisive. Since he can become his friend, he will most likely not dare to fight against the people of the court."

When Wuliang heard this, he understood why Yang Yiming had no fear since he learned that the other party was Xu Jingmiao's friend. He thought that Xu Jingmiao's friend was also a law-abiding person.

"Well, those women will be dedicated to their godfather, so that we can save a lot of money. Then those men feel that they are not weak, so come to me as a guard!" Yang Yiming said proudly, "You can be a guard of the city lord, it is also a smoke from their ancestral grave!"

Looking at Yang Yiming who was dancing with a smile, Wu Liang wanted to remind the other party several times that this group of people was indeed friends of Xu Jingmiao, but is it... this point probably still to be discussed?

Wu Liang, who knew Yang Yiming's nature, knew very well. No matter what he said, the other party couldn't listen at all, so he could only smile bitterly and bow, "Wu Liang obeys the order, then I'll send someone to give the betrothal gift?"

"Send a betrothal gift? Isn't you going to pay again?" Yang Yiming frowned in dissatisfaction. After thinking about it for a while, he waved his hand carelessly and smiled, "I remember that didn't I collect two sets of white clothes in the warehouse last time? It looks pretty, just treat it as a betrothal gift."

Wuliang was stunned for a moment because he vaguely remembered that the two sets of white clothes seemed to be...the shrouds dug out of the cemetery?

Looking at the excited Yang Yiming, Wu Liang wisely swallowed these words back into his belly, and then respectfully left the room.

But when Wu Liang exited the room, his mind was inexplicably moved. For some reason, Yang Yiming's actions seemed so... not to his mind.

*—*—*—*—*

Because Jiang Siyu and Hou Jingru were going to buy food, Wu Xue had to follow her. Fortunately, this was nothing, so in the end, the three girls went to buy dry food together.

The three girls walked around the market for a while and soon bought all the food for the next few days.

Because of Yang Yiming's cruel exploitation, the prices in Hezhou City were astonishingly high. Jiang Siyu and the others bought this batch of grain enough to buy three times the amount of grain in the main city of Chongqing. The prices in a prefecture and county were actually three times that of the main city. You can imagine the horror of the prices here.

However, because of this, Jiang Siyu and the others quickly followed a group of men with flashing eyes. It was obvious that their generous actions had attracted the attention of these illegal elements.

Noting that a group of people were following behind him, Jiang Siyu frowned slightly, grabbed Wu Xue and whispered a few words in her ear. Then the latter turned his head with bright eyes, pointed at the group of people, and released a flame, which made the group of people scream and fled in a mess.

Seeing that there was a spiritual master among the three, many people with bad intentions quickly put away their bad intentions. Only people from the Wildfire Thieves, Black Wolf Cavalry and other forces were still following, but they were also much more careful and followed from afar, not daring to be as blatant as before.

As soon as he returned to the wine shop, Jiang Siyu saw a soldier standing impatiently at the door of the wine shop, while the wine shop owner was standing on the side with a smile.

Seeing this, Jiang Siyu couldn't help but frowned slightly, but because the matter was nothing to do, she ignored it and directed several civilians to push the truck to the door of the winery, then unloaded the food and moved it in.

Seeing Jiang Siyu, Wu Xue and Hou Jingru's three girls, the soldier's eyes lit up, and then he quickly called them and asked, "You are friends of the General General, are you?"

"Who are you?" Jiang Siyu asked slightly raised his eyebrows.

Seeing her asking herself in reverse, the soldier frowned and said angrily: "I am the personal guard of the City Lord's Mansion, and I will give the betrothal gift at the order of the City Lord."

"What did you say?" Even Jiang Siyu was completely confused at this moment. After a long time of reaction, he stuttered and asked, "Recruitment, betrothal gift?"

"Yes!" the soldier nodded and replied, "Congratulations to the girls. Our city lord plans to be a matchmaker for us, Prince Qin, as a concubine. This is a major event for Guanghao's family."

Jiang Siyu, Wu Xue, and Hou Jingru opened their mouths and looked at the soldier blankly. They originally thought it was Yang Yiming's courage, but they didn't expect that the other party actually planned to give them to Qin Hui. This huge impact made the three of them speechless for a long time.

After a while, Wu Xue shyly said, "Is this considered robbing a kiss?"

Jiang Siyu and Hou Jingru, who were thundered outside and fragile inside, turned their heads and looked over, while Wu Xue shrank her head awkwardly and laughed: "Just kidding, don't be excited, don't be excited..."

Seeing that they actually spoke, the soldier frowned in dissatisfaction and shouted, "Hey! Don't stand stupidly! I've put the betrothal gift here. I'll remember to go to the city lord's mansion!" After that, he took out a package from behind and handed it over.

Subconsciously took the package, Jiang Siyu looked at the soldier and turned away. It took a long time to come back to his senses. He looked at the package in his hand and frowned and said, "Is this a betrothal gift?"

Looking at the package curiously, Wu Xue said with a smile: "Hurry up and open it and take a look!"

The willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and Jiang Siyu also opened the package in his hand as he spoke. Her eyebrows immediately stood up. Hou Jingru beside him was also angry and her face was blue. Only Wu Xue looked at the two white shrouds in the package with interest, and laughed: "Wow! The white clothes are pretty beautiful!"

"Does it look good?" Wen Wan smiled, Jiang Siyu threw the package to her, looked at the soldier's back with a smile, and then reached out and touched the longbow and arrow behind him. Fortunately, the wine store owner reacted quickly, so he quickly pressed her down and said anxiously: "Girl, no, that's the personal guard of the city lord's mansion!"

With a lot of charm in her eyebrows, Jiang Siyu held the long bow tightly with a smile and said softly: "It's nothing, it's just that suddenly... I really want to kill someone!"
