"I'm working hard." Zhao Qing took several elderly people from the auction house at the door of the auction house and looked at the young man who was directing people to carry dozens of heavy boxes from the auction house.

All the big boxes are wooden boxes wrapped in iron, and each box has seals on it.

After hearing Zhao Qing's words, the young man quickly replied: "Shopkeeper Zhao is so serious, everyone is doing things for Xiliang."

Then, the two of them counted the number of boxes together and completed the handover.

Finally, Zhao Qing said to the young civil servant: "Say hello to Lord Li for the sake of my family."

"Sure, Manager Zhao, then I'll go back and report first."

After watching the young civil servant leave with more than ten carriages, Zhao Qing turned around and smiled at the old people, saying, "Thank you all for your hard work."

"Haha, what's the matter? I just come and take a look and can't help."

"That's right, no matter how idle the family is, I'll just take a walk and move this old bone."

This is one of the rules of the auction house. Whenever the silver is handed over, at least three people should be present in the auction house. All you have to do is to see the end all the way.

After seeing off the three old men, Zhao Qing was about to walk back to the auction house, but he saw someone walking towards him on the other side of the street.

Zhao Qing smiled at the visitor and said, "Did you have no official duties today?"

"Let's rest today, so come and see you." The person who came was Jing Xiaosheng.

The one who was a sword-bearing guard who was now a general of the Thousand General, with a position like Fang Du.

Zhao Qing looked around and looked a little cautious, then said, "Go in and talk."

Jing Xiaosheng walked in as if he was back at his own home. He was not unfamiliar with it at all, or he could be said to be familiar with everything about the auction house very well.

Judging from the distance between the two of them, Jing Xiaosheng seemed to be his master taking Zhao Qing in.

After arriving at the study, Zhao Qing opened all the doors and windows, and even paid special attention to the window.

"Don't worry, when I came over, I didn't find any suspicious people." Jing Xiaosheng said while sitting on the chair.

"It's better to be cautious." Zhao Qing sighed and said.

"That's right. You have left so much gold and silver privately. Once you are discovered, it's not enough to die a hundred times." Jing Xiaosheng said this without any serious expression, and it seemed to be making fun of him.

"Can't you mention it less?" Zhao Qing was a little helpless. Jing Xiaosheng would say something every time he came to him.

Jing Xiaosheng laughed and said, "I've been used to it in the past two years."

"Tell me, why did you suddenly come here today?" Jing Xiaosheng usually doesn't come to the auction house. When he comes at this time, Zhao Qing knew that something must be wrong.

"When Yongchang left the city just now, he happened to meet Fang Du. Fang Du said the past again, and asked you two to go with him."

Zhao Qing was stunned, then shook his head and didn't say anything. This was not the first time, so he gradually ignored it.

"After Yongchang left, Fang Du also said that the deputy general was just like this." At this point, Jing Xiaosheng looked directly at Zhao Qing.

When Zhao Qing heard the four words "Deputy General", his body trembled and sat on the chair and whispered: "I have been unable to understand in the past two years. You have also been promoted to the Qianzhong General Office, and the room level is also Qianzhong General Office. Why has the room level changed so much?"

"People are different, so don't compare me with him." Jing Xiaosheng was a little disdainful of Fang Du.

Since the number of rooms increased by more than a thousand generals, the number of people under his command has increased, and his changes have become greater and greater. He is respectful to his superiors, but arrogant to his subordinates. He always mentions that "the deputy generals only had a few thousand soldiers at that time."

This made the distance between Xu Yongchang and Zhao Qing and Fang Du become farther and farther, and they could no longer be like before.

"Is there any news over Ma Ye?" After a long time, Zhao Qing pulled the topic away.

"News?" Jing Xiaosheng laughed: "What news? Ma Ye dared not send people in the desert rashly. As for the edge of the desert, Ma Ye had already sent enough people to pay attention there. As long as the adults came back, he would inform us immediately."

"Actually, I'm very worried about the situation on Ma Ye." As he said that, Jing Xiaosheng suddenly said.

Zhao Qing frowned: "What's wrong?"

"I just found me before Yongchang left the city and explained everything to me. The army of the Celestial Empire has approached our Xiliang. The Governor's Office wants Ma Ye to restrain the alien cavalry, and not long ago, a large number of alien cavalry suddenly poured into our territory."

"Are you finally going to fight?" Zhao Qing leaned back on the chair, but his thoughts returned to the scene of monster siege two years ago.

"Okay, I'm here to tell you this." As he said that, Jing Xiaosheng stood up and wanted to leave. When he walked to the door, he turned to look at Zhao Qing and said solemnly: "I didn't agree with you telling Fang Du these things to see his attitude. Now I can tell you more with certainty that Fang Du is no longer a personal soldier of the adults. He has parted ways with us, so don't try to convince him anymore, so as not to ruin the adults' affairs."

Looking at Zhao Qing with a deep thought, Jing Xiaosheng left without looking back.

Zhao Qing was stunned: Back then, the three of us vowed to be generals, so we swear to be loyal to our great lords, but now Fang Du has really become a general but has forgotten all the oaths of that year...

Everything seemed to be vivid in my mind, but Jing Xiaosheng and others who had never made a vow in front of adults can follow the adults to the death. Even if there was no news from adults in the past two years, they did not complain about waiting for the adults to come back. However, Fang Du thought that he had surpassed the adults and became more arrogant and arrogant. He treated his old brothers as much as he treated his subordinates, completely overestimating himself.

Jing Xiaosheng was right, Fang Du is indeed no longer an adult's personal soldier.

Since Xiliang successfully resisted the monster siege two years ago, its reputation has become more and more popular, making the business in Xiliang City even more popular. As for the items auctioned by the auction house come from various merchants, the other half comes from absolutely boring. The rare equipment taken out by more than ten people of the Five Lords and the others themselves, as well as the top-quality medicines refined by the breeders, otherwise the auction house would not have such a large income.

In the first year, Li Gu always supervised the auction house's income and would attend each auction in person. Later, because he saw that Zhao Qing did a great job and his work was very busy, he completely handed over everything from the auction house to Zhao Qing. All the proceeds from the auction house were handled by Li Gu alone, but now Zhao Qing is responsible for sorting it out, and then handing the account book to Li Gu for a look. Occasionally, Li Gu would come over to check the amount of silver, and most of them were transported directly into the warehouse.

Therefore, Zhao Qing had a lot more opportunities to attack, but Zhao Qing did not forget Tian Yinke's words and acted cautiously at all times.

Every time Jing Xiaosheng saw Zhao Qing, he reminded him, for fear that Zhao Qing would be caught accidentally.

With the help of the auction house's rich oil and water, Zhao Qing did not enrich his personal pockets, but used the money to clear the soldiers in the city and turn the soldiers of Xiliang into soldiers close to his side.

In addition, most of them were transported to Xiliang horse thieves, and bought excellent equipment for Xiliang horse thieves to strengthen them. The reason why Zhao Qing had so much was not for Xiliang City, nor for Xiliang horse thieves, but because the leader of Xiliang horse thieves is Ma Ye, Tian Yinke's disciple, that is, his own people.

The Xiliang horse thief nominally belongs to Xiliang City, but in fact it is already a private soldier of Tian Yinke.

If Tian Yinke ordered and Xiliang City ordered again at the same time, then there is no doubt that the Xiliang horse thief must have followed Tian Yinke's instructions to do things.

In the past, the walls of Xiliang City revealed a slight old smell even during construction, but two years later, the walls of Xiliang City have been completely renewed.

Not only new, but also exudes a towering momentum. Looking at the mount of arrow towers on the city walls, it makes people feel like an insurmountable fortress.

After two years of hard work, the walls of Xiliang City have been reinforced to the highest defense. Not only that, each wall has thirty-six arrow towers. As for the city defense equipment, it is a mechanism that you never even thought of.

After Xu Yongchang came to the station of the Xiliang horse thief, he saw people busy all around him. He searched for a long time before finding Ma Ye.

When Ma Ye saw Xu Yongchang, his first reaction was: "Here you come so soon?" He knew that the news had reached Xiliang City not long ago. In less than a few hours, Xu Yongchang ran over.

"What are you doing?" Xu Yongchang looked at the busy transporting people and suddenly became a little confused. Could it be that he was going to move?

"Change a stronghold." Ma Ye didn't think so.

After hearing this, Xu Yongchang was stunned: "Change the stronghold?"

"Yes, my people were hunted by more than 10,000 alien cavalry, so I used the trick to lead the alien cavalry here. Unfortunately, I couldn't kill them all, so I couldn't stay here anymore. I believe that it won't take too long. At least 100,000 alien cavalry will come here. Hello... hurry up and get chatted there." While speaking, Ma Ye did not forget to command the people below to do things.

"Then you pay more attention. I'm here to send instructions from the Governor's Office this time." After saying that, Xu Yongchang handed over the document to Ma Ye and said, "It's not too late to see it later. Is there any news from the lord?"

Ma Ye put the document in his arms and sighed and said, "No, if it weren't for the fact that Master said he wouldn't go to find him when he left, I would have taken people into the desert to find Master. There was no news about Master in the past two years... It's really worrying."

"No news or good news." Xu Yongchang smiled slightly.

"I would have been so optimistic about you." Ma Ye sighed and said that in the past two years, in order to expel foreign cavalry, Ma Ye's brothers died one by one. Now there are not many people who can rest assured. As for the elderly of Xiliang horse thieves, Ma Ye directly asked them to go to Xiliang City to retire and go to the auction house for a walk.

"Actually, I'm very worried about the adults, but it's useless to worry about me here. The city lord and the others said the same thing. Instead of worrying, it's better to build Xiliang City to welcome the adults' return."

Xiliang City has lost news in the past two years not only Tian Yinke, but also Zhan Shisan. Since Zhan Shisan went out to find foreign aid while monsters siege the city, he has never come back.
