"Sister-in-law...are you the adopted brother?"

Jiyuan General Wang Zheng couldn't sit still and stood up. His eyes were wide open. This was the first time he felt such a strong shock that he seemed to have stopped breathing.

"General Wang, don't be surprised, I am Zhang Yi," Zhang Yi laughed, "If I don't change my name and go to Jiyuan City, you have to arrest me, hahaha."

When the village leaders saw the shocked look of General Wang, they all laughed. In the past, this general was majestic and arrogant. He never looked good when seeing the village leaders, as if everyone owed him something.

"But...this..."

General Wang seemed to have been shocked. It was a trivial matter for Zhang Yi to deceive him, but the two worked closely together to expand Mopan City's business to the entire old China, and even included large-scale purchases of military supplies. This would make King Liu Kai discover the two

If there is an agreement between them, the consequences will be disastrous!

Zhang Yi saw his thoughts and comforted him tactfully.

"General Wang, please sit down. I think your king lives deep in the palace and doesn't know what changes have taken place in the world."

General Wang slowly sat back in his chair, feeling embarrassed and smiling awkwardly.

He ordered his entourage to present New Year gifts, specifically stating that these were gifts personally selected by King Liu Kai, including various gold and silver vessels of exquisite workmanship, the most precious of which was a mutton-fat jade handle from Kunlun Mountain.

Gold and silver came second. When Zhang Yi saw there were seventy or eighty pieces, he immediately rewarded them to the village owners, each of whom chose one. This was to thank the village owners for their loyal support and their great contribution to the development of the Mopan City area.

contribute.

The righteous brother is generous and generous, and all the village owners are happy.

General Wang thought to himself, no wonder Zhang Yi was able to unite these rude village owners. He had the spirit to regard gold and silver as dirt.

But Zhang Yi only loves the mutton-fat jade handle piece and can't put it down. It is delicate and moist, and the snow-white jade has a natural light golden skin color. It is simple and elegant, and is a rare natural treasure.

General Wang said that he hoped to negotiate with Zhang Yi alone, so everyone left and went to the banquet hall to wait while chatting and laughing.

In the General's Mansion, only Zhang Yi, Xiaolong, Niu Ben, General Wang and two close followers were left.

General Wang's expression was a little abnormal.

Zhang Yi found that all the muscles in his body were tense, like a sculpture. His face became as pale as paper, as if even the last trace of blood had been sucked out. He sat there blankly, worried.

how so?

Zhang Yi raised his head to see the two followers behind him, a strong warrior and a middle-aged man with the same stature, standing solemnly behind General Wang, pretending to protect him at any time.

Could it be that Liu Kai sent people to supervise General Wang?

Zhang Yi became wary and had to be careful when speaking, so he said deliberately.

"General Wang, I went to Jiyuan City to do business under a pseudonym, that is, I went to visit you once. You are fair and honest, and you refused to accept my gift, but you selflessly supported the development of trade between the two regions, which is a great thing for the people of both sides.

ah!"

When General Wang heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He thought Zhang Yi was really smart and saw that someone close to the king was following him.

"Yes, that's right," General Wang said, "I have only met you once, and you also changed your name to Zhang Ping and said you were a small businessman from Songjiazhai. Haha, I was really deceived by you! But, I feel that doing business

It’s normal. The Mopan City area is barren and there isn’t much fertile land. I won’t let you make money to fill your belly, so why do you have to be forced to become bandits? Hahaha!”

"Thank you, General Wang. You are right to think so. I hope your Majesty can understand us," Zhang Yi said. "We just want peaceful development, focusing on industry and commerce, and maintaining good relations with the three surrounding countries."

"I'm surprised that Brother Zhang has such an idea," General Wang returned to his normal tone, with a smile on his face, "In our impression, Mopan City is a bandit den, and the people in the entire area are barbaric and ignorant. No.

It's admirable to think that Brother Zhang completely reversed this situation as soon as he came to power."

As he spoke, General Wang turned his head and glanced quickly at the middle-aged man behind him. This small gesture attracted the attention of Zhang Yi and Xiaolong.

This middle-aged man looks calm and steady, his eyes reveal the sharp gaze that has experienced wind and rain, and he looks very powerful. His facial contours leave a deep impression on people, he is firm and open-minded, especially his sharp jaw line, which is very

Tough, giving people a sense of majesty.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but look at each other and Xiaolong, and came to the common conclusion that this person was great, he must be an important minister around the northwest king Liu Kai, and his status must be higher than that of General Wang Zheng.

Good guy, Liu Kai sent his cronies to investigate the situation in Mopan City. This is a major signal that Liu Kai's attention has shifted to this area.

Zhang Yi suddenly felt pressure in his heart.

"Yes, General Wang has a unique vision. You know the changes in the Mopan City area best. I hope you can convey to the king that we hope to establish a friendly relationship with old China and make progress together for mutual benefit."

Zhang Yi saw that the middle-aged man was expressionless from beginning to end, like a deep pool of water. Zhang Yi thought he could see through everyone's thoughts, but he didn't know what this middle-aged man was thinking. This man was very energetic.

Strong, so strong that even Zhang Yi felt a little uneasy.

He should be Liu Kai's right-hand man, an extremely mature and determined person. If Liu Kai can conquer a large kingdom, he must have experts around him, such as this middle-aged man.

Xiaolong's performance was the same. He was even a little restless and looked at Zhang Yi worriedly. Their eyes met and they encouraged each other silently. They knew that they were facing important ministers of the Kingdom of China at this moment, and

General Wang, who ranks third, must be cautious!

"That's right, Brother Zhang, we not only want to make progress together, but also become a family," General Wang said with a smile, "I have been ordered by the king to deliver a great news. The king has made you a first-class general and given it to the Duke.

He is in charge of the military and political power in the Mopan City area! Congratulations to General Zhang, you know, I have worked hard for many years to become a second-grade general!"

Zhang Yi and Xiaolong looked at each other in confusion. Niu Ben couldn't help laughing. He felt that this condition was not bad, but he knew that Yi Ge was not even a king, let alone a general.

"General Zhang, as long as you accept the king's reward, you won't even have to worry about doing business in the future, hahaha," General Wang thought Zhang Yi was tempted and laughed, "From now on, all the money and food you need will come from

We allocate funds from the national treasury, so we can sit back and relax!”

It must be said that Liu Kai, the king of the northwest, spent a lot of money in order to incorporate this land into the territory of the Kingdom of China, which also shows that he is determined to win it.

The matter became serious, Zhang Yi said after thinking for a moment.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Please allow us brothers to discuss this matter before replying. It is getting late, so please move to the banquet hall. We will welcome General Wang and other distinguished guests!"
