When the grain merchants heard this, they were so angry that their whole bodies trembled with fat. The white-faced fat man said again: "No one can run away when the fire comes up. Why should the governor fight to lose both sides?"

Hai Dongqing said with a solemn face: "Millions of hungry people in Cangzhou are looking at me, Hai Dongqing, and this court. If I can't find a way for them to survive, then why not die. You have bought them at low prices one by one in the past years.

Sell ​​it at a high price and make money from the mouths of those hungry people

Now they are suffering from natural disasters, and you bastards are still harming the people at this time. If there is food to save the people today, you are destined to go down this building. If there is no food, today you will accompany me, Hai Dongqing.

I would like to thank the people of Cangzhou with my death."

The grain merchants all looked ashamed at this time and looked at each other. In the end, the white-faced fat man said: "Then what do you want the governor to do? You can't let us get back all our money."

Seeing that they finally relaxed, Hai Dongqing nodded to Yicheng. Yicheng stepped forward. The guards and businessmen stepped back in fright. Yicheng sneered and took out a dozen banknotes from his arms.

Give it to Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng said to the fat man with a white face: "This is a seven million tael silver note issued by Tianfeng Bank. It can be exchanged at any bank in the entire continent. We want seven million shi of grain." After speaking, he looked at the businessmen.

.

At this moment, the fire was getting stronger and the smell of smoke was stronger upstairs. Several businessmen lowered their heads to discuss for a few words. The fat man with a white face said bitterly: "Okay, we agreed."

Zhang Sheng and Hai Dongqing were determined after hearing this, and they were about to summon someone to put out the fire. But Yicheng stopped them and said to the fat man with a white face: "Ten million stones."

The fat man's expression changed drastically and he said, "Don't bully others too much. It's impossible."

Yicheng looked at the increasingly thick smoke at the entrance and said, "Think about it slowly, don't be in a hurry!" [

The white-faced fat man was so angry that he slurred his words, pointed at Yi Cheng and said: "You cough cough cough cough, you are cruel, we agree."

Yicheng nodded to Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng took out a signal tube from his arms and fired a firework downwards. Soon he heard the sound of splashing water coming from below.

Then Zhang Sheng took out the paperwork that had already been listed, and the grain merchants stepped forward one by one to put their fingerprints. Then they were about to leave.

At this time, Yicheng stopped them and said, "Thank you for your generous donation to the people of Cangzhou. The governor has prepared water and wine to thank you."

Those few businessmen still had appetite and were about to leave. Yi Cheng said, "Is it because you don't appreciate the honor?" He glanced at them coldly.

Those people felt chilly and had to sit down. Soon someone brought food and wine to the table. Zhang Sheng took the lotus and put the food in.

At this time, Hai Dongqing wiped away his previous sadness and kept urging everyone to drink. Seeing that the matter had come to this, those merchants did not want to offend the governor again, so they started drinking.

After drinking for three rounds, the white-faced fat man asked with a smile: "Chief Hai, that's a good plan. I wonder if the fire really started burning just now?" The meaning of his words was self-evident.

Yicheng said to him at this time: "To be honest with you, if this fire comes up, I will ask myself if I can bring the two of them alive. As for you, you will have to ask the people around you."

The few people looked at the guards around them. The guards looked embarrassed and shook their heads. The grain merchants were so frightened that they broke into cold sweat again.

However, Yicheng did not consider the endurance of their hearts, and continued: "Last night, the governor ordered people to notify the victims along the way to rush to your granary. If we can't agree on the price with you today, what do you think of those hungry people guarding mountains of food?"

What can food do?" After speaking, he looked at the rich expressions on the faces of the businessmen with great interest.

After everyone had finished eating and drinking, Zhang Sheng also came back and said to the governor: "My lord, everything is done."

Hearing this, the governor smiled and said: "Okay, you are all frightened today, so the Japanese officials will hold a banquet to calm your fright, so I won't leave you alone."

The businessmen quickly resigned. At this time, Yicheng said to them: "Please go back and tell the adults behind you that what happened today was planned by Xiao. If anything unpleasant happens to the governor and Brother Zhang,

I have no choice but to invite you all to come again and enjoy this vast sea scenery."

Those grain merchants were as afraid of Yicheng as tigers and wolves, and they hurriedly resigned after agreeing.[

Seeing that everyone had left, Hai Dongqing bowed to Yicheng and clasped his fists and said, "Thanks to Young Hero this time, the people of Cangzhou have a glimmer of hope. I would like to thank Young Hero on behalf of the people of Cangzhou." After saying this, he bowed down and bowed down.

.

Yicheng stopped him quickly and said, "You're welcome, sir. I'm just trying my best. Who can be unmoved when seeing the people in danger?"

Hai Dongqing sighed: "If there were more young people like you in the world, the people of the world would be blessed."

The three of them chatted for a few more words, then left Canghai Tower and returned to the city.

Yicheng stayed in Canghai City for a few days for a short rest. During this period, he went to Zhang Sheng's house and met Rumeng and the old housekeeper Zhang Zhong. They were very happy about Yicheng's arrival and asked him to stay in Canghai City for a longer time.

When Yi Cheng saw that the drought had been decided and all the food had been distributed, he did not plan to stay and continued to search for his brother's whereabouts. Just as he was saying goodbye to Hai Dongqing, he was left behind.

Hai Dongqing knew that he was looking for his younger brother, so he wanted to help him. He said that someone in the grain team escorting grain and grass to Cangzhou could help him, and asked Yi Cheng to wait here for March. Yi Cheng knew that Hai Dongqing

He was not one to take things lightly, so he stayed and waited for the news.

March is about to pass, and the drought situation has stabilized. The name of Xiao Yi, the free swordsman, has become known to everyone, and the people of Cangzhou regard him as a god.

In the past three months, Yicheng has been living in rare peace. Hai Dongqing asked him to live in the Governor's Mansion, but he refused, so he stayed there.

On weekdays, when people disturbed him, he could just practice peacefully and sort out what he had learned over the years.

Over the past few months, Yicheng has benefited a lot. He has a clearer understanding of the Quexin Technique and Sword Techniques, and has also made progress in the techniques he has learned.

Yicheng has fought several times in the past few years, and his combat experience has become increasingly rich, and his ability to control Qi has become more and more sophisticated. Although he is still not able to send and receive Qi as freely as Ge Feng and Gunan Xin, he is still able to use it freely and will

Every bit of Qi is used properly, and the combat effectiveness is increased several times compared to before.

He also gradually gained his own experience in swordsmanship. When his master was teaching him, he once said that only when one day Yicheng can figure out the method that suits him through his own understanding can he truly master the swordsmanship. Now,

Yicheng finally achieved this step.

But at this time, whether it was practicing Qi or practicing swordsmanship, Yicheng felt that this might be a bottleneck if the method went further. Many martial arts masters were stuck here and could not make any progress throughout their lives.

This was the case for Qi Mingxuan, whom he met in Canglan City that day. Yicheng knew that he could not force this matter, so he could only rely on his understanding to make a further breakthrough in his state of mind.

So Yicheng was not in a hurry and started to study the naming formula first. On this day, Yicheng was speculating on the naming formula. Someone from the governor's office came to report that the governor had invited a grain team from the south. After hearing this, Yicheng hurriedly followed
