It has been three days since Li Xiu arrived in Yangzhou. He was very low-key in these three days, as if he was traveling to Yangzhou. He took Xiaomei to visit the West Lake and tasted various snacks from Yangzhou.

In the evening, Li Xiu walked down from a round stone bridge with a folding fan in his hand, and Xiaomei followed him with a few bags of cakes.

Under the bridge is the Caohe River, with cargo ships coming and going. Opposite the street in front is Gaosheng Inn where they live.

Three warriors with swords and green robes walked out of the inn, walked past them arrogantly, and pedestrians by the bridge dodged one after another.

This is the Maitreya sage warrior. Like the samurai who was the samurai of the Salt Ow Wang Dudong, he was a rebel and bandit in the court, but it existed legally in Yangzhou and even in the Jianghuai area. He could walk swagger on the streets and no one dared to mess with him.

Two prime ministers at the national level have already entered Yangzhou, and the royal family of two factions is also in Yangzhou, but they have not restrained themselves at all.

The local emperor of Yangzhou, Yuan Zhen, did not take the imperial court seriously at all.

The entire Jianghuai is implementing the rules he has set.

After three days in Yangzhou, Li Xiu had already deeply understood this.

But what did these three Maitreya warriors come to the inn to do?

Li Xiu walked into the inn and saw the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter in a depressed mood. Needless to say, he had just been extorted for another sum of money.

"What did the Maitreya warriors come to do just now?" Li Xiu asked without saying a word.

The shopkeeper sighed, "They are pursuing a prince, who seems to be named Li Xiu. It is rumored that he offended the Yuan governor. The Maitreya warrior searched him all over the city. How could he find it? It's just to find an excuse to blackmail."

"Such a strict search, this prince should not be in Yangzhou, right?"

"Who knows? This kind of thing has nothing to do with us ordinary people. It's mainly disgusting. What is your official request but let the Maitreya Sect search the whole city?"

At this time, Pei Min quickly walked into the inn and gave Li Xiu a wink.

"Don't be angry, it's not worth it to care about these people. I think these people will be finished sooner or later!"

"Hey! I've been arrogant for so many years. When will it be over?"

.............

Back at the room, Pei Min said in a deep voice: "Just just received the news that Li Ji was ambushed at Guangyuan Temple, with heavy casualties. More than thirty people were only Li Ji and five or six subordinates, and the rest were killed."

"Who did it?"

"It should be Wang Dongdu's person. The other party did not hide his identity at all and wore the costume of a salt owl."

"What is the attitude of the government?"

"The government said that the case should be investigated strictly, but also said that someone was deliberately plagiarizing Wang Dongdu, and this matter would obviously be left alone."

Li Xiu paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and the three royal teams who came to Jianghuai to handle the case. Li Zhu was poisoned by Maitreya and his entire army was destroyed. Now it was Li Ji's turn, and he was destroyed by the Yan Xiaotuan. The next one must be himself.

It can be seen from this that the Maitreya religion and the Yan Xiao have become a climate in the Jianghuai River and it is impossible to defeat them by fighting alone.

He had to see Pei Yaoqing and could not let the other party be so arrogant.

But Pei Yaoqing is currently in a state of semi-house arrest, and is closely monitored inside and outside, so it is difficult to see Pei Yaoqing.

"I want to see Pei Yaoqing, is there any way?"

Pei Min nodded, "There is a chance. I heard that Pei Xiangguo will hold a welcome banquet for King Qing Li Yan tomorrow to entertain celebrities in Yangzhou. I will think of a way to let the young master get in!"

.........

With the arrival of King Qing, Pei Yaoqing, the Jianghuai and Henan Transport Authority, also became active. He held a grand banquet at the Transport Authority to entertain celebrities from all walks of life in Yangzhou to welcome King Qing.

It feels like fighting with Niu Xianke.

In the room, Gongsun Xiaomei carefully put on a human skin mask for Li Xiu.

This is one of the thirty-seven human skin masks carefully made by Zhang Chu, a famous craftsman in Yangzhou.

This is also the top human skin mask in the world. The human skin mask Yang Zhao wore before was one of the thirty-seven pictures. Princess Xianyi spent 2,000 guan to buy it.

Li Xiu's human skin mask was purchased by Pei Min from Zhang Chu's mansion for 1,500 jin, and he had never used it.

"Will there be two Luo Baoshan appear at the banquet?"

Pei Min smiled and said, "Don't worry, young master, Luo Baoshan is really sleeping in the inn and will not wake up tomorrow morning and will not appear at the banquet."

Li Xiu pretended to be Luo Baoshan, the second son of Yangzhou tea merchant Luo Qun. Luo Baoshan is similar in height to Li Xiu and has a long face.

Luo Qun went to Yuezhou to have tea and was unable to attend the banquet held by Pei Yaoqing, so he asked his second son to attend the banquet for him.

And Li Xiu happened to need an invitation.

"It's totally different!"

Xiaomei cheered, very satisfied with her craftsmanship, and she couldn't tell she was wearing a mask.

Li Xiu looked at himself in the mirror. In the mirror was a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with two delicate mustaches.

There is no handsomeness of the Jiangnan people at all, but it is somewhat rough as the Han people in the Western Regions.

The essence of the mask of 1,500 stag is in its expression. The mask is actually full of spirit. Li Xiu smiled, and the mask was also smiling, but the corners of his smile were slightly bent, with a hint of mystery.

It also has excellent breathability and can be removed for a month.

"No, I like it!" Li Xiu liked the appearance in front of him very much, which could conceal his true face with a bitter face.

The price of 1,500 guan is not just a mask. His wallet was quietly upgraded, and he deducted 20,000 guan without mercy.

He used 3,000 guan of money to his subordinates before, and later he gave Yang Yuhuan at least 3,000 guan of money and jewelry, but the wallet did not respond.

This time, he only spent 1,500 stag to buy a mask, and his wallet was upgraded.

This is not a wallet, it is clearly a monster with his own ideas.

There was not much left in his purse.

Li Xiu was really helpless, and the space of the wallet was restored to a small house, with a pitiful three hundred taels of silver piled up in the corner.

Another red drawer is opened. If nothing unexpected happens, his skills should have been upgraded.

.........

It was also coincidental that Li Xiu arrived at the Transshipment Mansion, Niu Xianke, Li Xun, and Li Cui brothers also arrived.

Pei Yaoqing and King Qing Li Yan personally went to the gate to greet him.

"Niu Xiangguo has been famous these days! I have heard that I haven't left my house." Pei Yaoqing sarcastically said without hesitation.

Niu Xianke's face had already been cultivated, and he waved his hand disapprovingly.

"A group of sluts slandered me. Your Highness, Your Highness, Thirty-Eighth Lang, your brother, has not been heard of for several days. Will something happen? In which ditch will it be?

Li Yan said coldly: "It's better not to have news. Once he has news, Niu Xiangguo will definitely cry."

"I'm afraid that bastard has escaped back to Chang'an now!"

The person who spoke was Li Cui, and his word "bastard" made King Qing Li Yan's face dark.

Li Xun kicked his brother without any hesitation and said apologizing: "My brother has always spoken out loud. Please forgive His Highness King Qing."

Pei Yaoqing smiled faintly and said, "It's true that he speaks quickly, but his heart may not be true. His Highness Cui's loss of Scale and Brocade Armor should still be worn on his body!"

Li Cui immediately said angrily: "My father has given him crystal as compensation. The most treasure in the world of scales and brocades, how can I give it to him?"

"Since it is the most treasure in the world, why does Your Highness Cui use the scales and armor as a bet? Do you think you won't lose, but you lost, but you ran away by the debt. Everyone in Luoyang knows that I have heard of it in Yangzhou. Your Highness Cui earned a good reputation for his father!"

Pei Yaoqing has always been straightforward and sharp, and has no mercy, which has made Li Cui angry and unable to come to Taiwan.

Li Cui stomped his feet in anger, "It's better not to attend such a banquet!"

He turned around and left, Li Xun clasped his fists and said, "My brother has a hot temper, I'll go and persuade him!"

He hurriedly chased after him.

"Why did he not make any progress? The regent sent him here again in the bloody land of Yangzhou. Isn't he afraid of missing a big deal?"

The speaker was Li Xiu. He drank some medicine and his voice was hoarse. Only those who were very familiar with him could hear it.

Niu Xianke turned around and glared at Li Xiu, "Who are you?"

"I am Pei's guest. Please ask the master if you have any questions!"

Li Xiu waved his hand and pointed at Pei Yaoqing, turned around and entered the door.

"Pei Jun, who is this bastard? How dare you blame the Regent?"

Pei Yaoqing smiled and said, "It doesn't matter who he is, but what he said makes some sense. If you listen to both sides, you will understand it!"

Having said that, Pei Yaoqing looked at Li Xiu's back and felt a little strange. This was not like what ordinary guests said.

Pei Yaoqing invited everyone into the guest hall. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. The person who said what he said just now should be very familiar with the disappearance of the princess in Luoyang. How could it appear among his guests?
