As soon as Li Xiang sat down, he felt a gaze looking at him. He turned around and looked over. He was wearing a white robe and a white veil on his face, revealing only a pair of peach blossom eyes.
Somewhat familiar!
Suddenly he remembered, Zheng Zhilan!
Zheng Zhilan recognized him as Prime Minister Li the first time he saw him. His appearance was very ordinary, but his physique would never be forgotten once he saw it.
Didn't Xiliang fight in Jiuyuan County? As the lord of Xiliang City, Li Xiang should be leading the army on the front line, so why did he appear here?
Zheng Zhilan suddenly raised the corner of her mouth. This guy must have seen her last time but didn't say a word to her. She was thinking of finding an opportunity to go to Xiliang to talk to Li Xiang, but she didn't expect to meet Li Xiang here.
She was very curious about how Li Xiang managed to establish such a large territory outside the Northwest Pass!
Regardless of his identity, in the eyes of people of the same generation, Li Xiang's current power is that Li Xiang is the most outstanding group. He unified the outside of the pass, led the army into the pass, and resisted the Jiuyuan County army.
The Li Xiang she knew before was completely different!
"Senior sister, senior sister?" A younger girl next to Zheng Zhilan whispered to Zheng Zhilan who was distracted.
Zheng Zhilan came back to her senses: "What's wrong?"
The little girl whispered: "Sister, those three big men are very powerful. You can easily attract each other's attention by looking at them like this!"
Zheng Zhilan smiled and touched the girl's head: "Little junior sister, today I will teach you a truth, rely on friends when going out, one more friend will open up a new path!"
As Zheng Zhilan got up and walked to Li Xiang's table, Li Xiang felt the footsteps of Zheng Zhilan's arrival and secretly said, "It's bad. There are not as many people supervising me as when I first came here. There are still one or two eyes around me."
he.
Zheng Zhilan came over, would a Bangbang who carries goods for a living know a woman who is like a fairy?
Li Xiang's mind was spinning very quickly. He pretended to hear the footsteps behind him and turned around to see Zheng Zhilan standing up. He hesitated for a while and then stood up: "Miss Zheng? Why are you here in the northwest?"
When Zheng Zhilan heard what Li Xiang said, this guy still had some brains, and made a clear voice: "It's not like I saw a familiar figure, I didn't expect it was really you!"
Li Xianghan smiled and said: "Thank you, Miss Zheng, for giving me a bite of food in the Imperial Capital, otherwise I would have starved to death in the Imperial Capital.
You do it over here!”
Li Xiang gave up his chair, and Cheng Jushu and Cheng Jurong stood aside without saying a word. They didn't know the woman in front of them, so the best way to deal with it was to keep silent and leave everything to the Lord!
Zheng Zhilan sat on the chair where Li Xiang was sitting: "Who are these two?"
Li Xiang sat next to Zheng Zhilan and introduced: "These two are my friends who carry goods and make money with me. This is Cheng Shu, and this is his brother Cheng Rong!"
Zheng Zhilan took a closer look at Cheng Jushu and Cheng Jurong. These two guys were very good at hiding themselves, but they couldn't hide their feelings from her.
One look at these two guys and Li Xiang, they are both murderers without blinking an eye!
She thought of the sect's mission, to help the Eighth Prince gain a foothold in the northwest. If the Eighth Prince wants to gain a foothold in the Northwest, the first one to kill should be Prime Minister Li!
During the days when she arrived at Tongtian City, what she heard the most was how Xiliang City was doing. Today she would fight the Great Wall Legion, and tomorrow she would fight Luo Tiansheng. Xiliang was like a war machine, constantly launching wars.
"This is Miss Zheng. If Miss Zheng hadn't given me a bite of food in the imperial capital, you might not have seen me!!" Li Xiang solemnly said to Brother Cheng Jushu: "When I see Miss Zheng in the future, can I
Just help, you can’t ask for money, you know!”
Li Xiang filled up the tea for Zheng Zhilan. When Zheng Zhilan saw the full tea that was about to come out, her peach blossom eyes showed a smile: "My Zheng family has a lot of goods, so I have to pay for it. By the way, where do you live? When the time comes, unload the goods.
It’s also easy to find you for loading!”
"Si Xing Warehouse!"
Zheng Zhilan picked up the tea and took a sip and stood up: "Then I will send someone to find you, so I won't disturb your meal!"
Li Xiang stood up: "Thank you, Miss!"
"It's okay!" Zheng Zhilan raised an eyebrow at Li Xiang and said to the junior sister on the other side who was stunned: "Xiaoqing, let's go!"
The little girl hurriedly walked to Zheng Zhilan and took a peek at Li Xiang and the others. In her eyes, Li Xiang and the others were very scary, and their whole bodies were filled with evil spirits!
Although it was scary, she couldn't help but take a few more glances to see how the senior sister knew such a person. They seemed to have a pretty good relationship with him.
After Zheng Zhilan left, Li Xiang felt that he was in trouble. Zheng Zhilan was not someone who was easy to fool, but if the other party came like this, the people who paid attention to him might retreat. He did not believe that the Lord of Tongtian City did not know Zheng Zhilan's identity.
The youngest daughter of the Zheng family, a disciple of the Lingjiu Palace, has a dual identity that no one dares to underestimate.
The restaurant is still very lively. You can hear many people talking about the battle between Xiliang and Jiuyuan City, and some people are talking about the things in Tongtian City. Anyway, everyone will talk about whatever can attract others.
The news in restaurants is very complicated, but you can still get some useful information by listening carefully and filtering.
After eating, the three of them came to a wood pile. The dock outside the city stopped working, so the three of them had to deliver supplies to the city wall. Otherwise, they would not have much money in their pockets in a few days.
They earn more and spend more. When eating, they cut off one-fifth of what they earn in a day.
At the same time, a thousand people brought to the city began to mingle on the city wall. The flow of people in Tongtian City was really too great. Every year, a large number of people came to seek opportunities, and there were also sticks who came with ships to carry goods. This made Tongtian City
A mixed bag.
City Fine Works Department
"Do you know Miss Zheng from the Imperial Capital?" A man with a scar on his face tore up the note in his hand and burned it: "Remove the people who supervise them! Come from the north and west.
Look after me!"
When the man discovered Li Xiang and the Cheng brothers, he suspected that the three were craftsmen. Li Xiang was too tall, as were the two Cheng brothers. Fortunately, the two brothers were not famous yet. If they were famous, the three of them would have no choice but to kill them.
Go out of town.
So I focused on the three of them. They performed well. They were working hard these days. Looking at the workload, the man wanted to recruit the three of them. One person can be used as ten people!
In the evening, the three returned to the warehouse and asked the two to go to bed. Li Xiang sat alone in the room with a pot of hot tea on the table.
After a while, two figures, one tall and one short, came outside the room.
"Come in!" Li Xiang poured the tea, and Zheng Zhilan walked in with his junior sister and carefully closed the door.
Xiaoqing followed the senior sister nervously. Sure enough, following senior sister Zhilan was the most correct choice. This is the way to live in the world!
I just don’t know what the relationship between the big man in front of me and my senior sister is!
The fire of Xiaoqing's Bagua is burning brightly. Senior Sister Zhilan is extremely talented and her family background is at the top of Daqian. There is no man who can make Senior Sister look at him more than once!
"Please take a seat!" Li Xiang sat down. Zheng Zhilan pulled Xiaoqing to sit down. She picked up the hot tea and took a sip. She felt that her mind was instantly cleared. Many things that she couldn't figure out were solved at this moment.
"What kind of tea is this?" Zheng Zhilan opened her eyes with a burning light. This kind of tea is a top treasure for cultivators.
Sure enough, they are not ordinary people! Xiao Qing was silent beside him. At noon, he felt that Li Xiang and the others were extraordinary. After drinking tea, this kind of treasure is also available in the Lingjiu Palace, but it requires a lot of contributions to redeem it, and it is also a true legend.
Only disciples can redeem it.
Li Xiang picked up the tea and took a sip: "This is the tea my wife roasted for me. I don't know the name!"
"Your wife?" Zheng Zhilan was a little surprised: "Are you married?"
Xiaoqing looked at the teapot with her eyes. The senior sister was worried. If there was a fight later, the tea could not be wasted!
"It was completed last year!" Li Xiang nodded, picked up the tea and poured it for the two of them: "You should come to me for something, right?"
"Can't I come to you if nothing happens?" Zheng Zhilan said, putting down the white gauze and revealing her delicate face in the candlelight.
"Still so good-looking!" Li Xiang saw the delicate face and couldn't help but take another look: "If you have nothing to do, you won't come to me. I don't like to beat around the bush!"
What kind of development is this? Shouldn't it be that when the senior sister heard that this big man was getting married, she drew her sword and the two of them started fighting, while she was holding a cup of tea and watching?
"You are so boring!" Zheng Zhilan picked up the tea and said, "This time there are sixteen people from the sect, including two first-class masters who came to the North to help the Eighth Prince gain a foothold.
In addition to us, the Luo family has sent hundreds of masters to go north, and the masters gathered around the Eighth Prince of the Imperial Capital will go north along with the 5,000 imperial cavalry.
Northwest, the Eighth Prince is determined!"
There was not much change on Li Xiang's face. As he drank tea, Zheng Zhilan thought that Li Xiang would be shocked or upset, but none of this happened.
On the other hand, Xiaoqing tugged on Zheng Zhilan's skirt: "Senior sister, how can you tell us about our mission? If the Xiliang spies find out, won't we be exposed?"
"Ahem!" Li Xiangqing coughed a few times: "You didn't tell her my identity?"
"What is your identity?" Xiaoqing looked at Li Xiang: "The Lord of Xiliang City is nearly nine feet tall and has killed countless people. You are also nearly nine feet tall and have a lot of evil energy on your body. You don't want to say that you are the Lord of Xiliang City, Li Xiang."
!”
Zheng Zhilan who was standing next to him said calmly: "He is Prime Minister Li, the Lord of Xiliang City!"
push lightly!
Xiao Qing sat down on the ground, immediately stood up and straightened the chair: "City Master Li, I heard that you once fought against fifteen first-class masters by yourself. Is this true?"
"Fake!" Li Xiang said to Zheng Zhilan: "Your sect sent you to help the eighth prince, but how can you help the eighth prince like this?"
"Can't we just take you down?" Zheng Zhilan looked at Li Xiang with a smile.
Li Xiang shook his head: "If you two can't do it, you better stop showing off, okay? You know I don't like to use my brain!"
Zheng Zhilan rolled her eyes at Prime Minister Li: "I saw you today and wanted to give you some advice. Although you are strong in Xiliang, you are still far behind the Eighth Prince's men!
You should understand what I mean!"
"I know!" Li Xiang took out a piece of ferocious beast meat and took a bite: "Wouldn't it be great if they were not allowed to go to the northwest?
Is it possible that they can still fly across the vast river with their army and fight to the northwest!"
Zheng Zhilan was stunned for a moment. Prime Minister Li was in Tongtian City and not on the frontal battlefield.
"You want to attack Tongtian City?"
"Yes!" Li Xiang didn't hide anything: "Tomorrow, the first attack will begin, and then you will see the power of my Xiliang Navy!"
"You just wait for the opportunity in the city and then open the city gate to let the Xiliang army come in?" Zheng Zhilan looked at Li Xiang with a strange look: "There should be many of your men in the city!"
"It's not a lot, but it's still possible to take down one city gate. Do you want to cooperate?"
Zheng Zhilan picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for herself and her junior sister: "How do you cooperate? Let me use the people of the Zheng family in the city to help you? This is not impossible. Anyway, I don't like the eighth prince, he is too pretentious.
!
You don’t know that when I returned to the Imperial Capital last year, when I saw him, his eyes looked as if he wanted to eat me, and he was so carefree..."
Zheng Zhilan kept talking about how the Eighth Prince looked in his heart.
"How is his cultivation?" Li Xiang didn't pay attention to anything else. He just wanted to know the cultivation of the eighth prince.
"Not very good, but there are many masters around him!" Zheng Zhilan tried to recall: "There was a master named Mu Deji'er with a strange hairstyle who was very strong!"
The topic changed: "I can help you, but I have to know what I'm getting?"
Li Xiang took out a large bag of tea: "Xiliang Qingtea, this is a kind of tea unique to our Xiliang City. It grows and is mined in the cold winter. It can improve people's understanding. We, Xiliang, can provide it every year
Three thousand catties for your Zheng family!
From now on, when your Zheng family caravan comes to my territory in Xiliang, the commercial tax can be reduced by half."
Xiao Qing looked at the tea leaves. These tea leaves are all good, but senior sister, can you carry the sect on your back like this?
Zheng Zhilan held out three fingers: "I don't have to ask for the tea and commercial tax. I only need three requests. I haven't thought about it yet. I'll ask you for it when I think about it later, okay?"
Tongtian City is not important in Zheng Zhilan's eyes, and the sect's mission is even less important. Anyway, I help if I can, and if I can't, I won't. There are many people in Lingjiu Palace who do not support the Eighth Prince.
Li Xiang thought for a moment: "Okay!"
"Okay!" Zheng Zhilan said: "The Zheng family has a city defense officer in Tongtian City with five hundred men. The one responsible for guarding is Nancheng!"
The south city gate is on the bank, and the east city gate is directly across the Tongtian River. There is a Tongtian River navy over there.
Li Xiang and his party were at the South City Gate, which was relatively close to the commercial road and there was also a pier outside.
"Senior sister, let's do this..." Xiaoqing was standing nearby. He thought that senior sister was here to meet his young lover, but he didn't expect that it was Li Xiang, the most ruthless man in the northwest, the lord of Xiliang City.
"Don't contact him yet!" Li Xiangke didn't trust outsiders, not even Zheng Zhilan: "After tomorrow, I wonder if Miss Zheng can live next door?"
"No problem!" Zheng Zhilan knew Li Xiang's worries: "I won't betray you, but to reassure you, I will move next door to you!"
At this time, outside the city, the Xiliang army has arrived, and a large number of siege machines are being prepared!
