The pork belly was brought up. Boss Shang picked up the fattest piece with chopsticks on his left hand, but he was not in a hurry to eat it. He drank a sip of wine first. When the wine entered his stomach and the heat was about to rise, he put the fat into his mouth, chewed it carefully, swallowed it slowly, and finally let it breathe a long time.

"I haven't eaten pork for a long time."

Xiao Jinyan said, "Are you the leader of the gang? Why can't you even eat meat?"

Boss Shang sighed, "The landlord's family has no surplus food. Our Qingzhu Gang has just been established. The situation in the martial arts world has not been good recently, and the gangs cannot help. Last year, I finally managed to rely on their relationship and spent some money to join Yixiaotang, but Yixiaotang was also disbanded. Seeing that the gangs were unsustainable, the gangs were left by the poachers, and they were desperate, so they ran to Shitou City to try their luck. Alas! The road to entrepreneurship is difficult and obstructive!"

While sighing that the world is not easy, he ate a plate of pork belly into his stomach. Boss Shang then said, "It's really not to be hindered. This gifted jade from heaven is useless to us. We want to get it, to please Lord Zhao of Yinyang City!"

"Zhao Langjiang?"

"Shh!" Shang Dalian stopped him, "Don't mention the name of Lord Zhao easily in Stone City, that would be very disrespectful."

Xiao Jinyan smiled slightly, but he didn't expect that the name Zhao Langjiang would be so intimidating in Xijiang City. He asked again, "I haven't talked about the jade bi yet."

Shang Lao Dao, "Now, there will be a joy in Yinyang City, that is, the city lord's wife is about to be born. A few months ago, a fortune teller came to Yinyang and wrote off his life for Mrs. Zhao, saying that this son will become a great man in the future, and predicted that a strange treasure will be born in the Stone City. The day when the young city lord was born, when the strange treasure came to the world."

"Later, the stonemason found a strange stone on the stone wall of Stone City, but no matter whether it was cut by a knife, axe, the strange stone could not be removed. Sure enough, it was the words of the fortune teller."

Yuwen Shuang said strangely, "I have heard that fruits and fruits will fall off naturally when they are ripe, but I have never heard of a stone or a saying that the stems of the melon will fall."

But Boss Shang said lightly, "It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Five hundred years ago, didn't we hear Shujian Mountain?"

Yu Wenshuang was speechless.

Shang Lao Dadao, "We are fishing for troubled waters to see if we have any chance to get that stone, martial arts, etc., and we have no prayers. We just want to use this jade bi to cling to the relationship between Lord Zhao City, and our brothers in the Qingzhu Gang will have a settlement in the future."

After saying that, Boss Shang stood up and said goodbye, "That strange stone must have been born in the past two days. We have to take the lead and choose a better position."

After Qingzhu helped everyone leave, Xiao Jinyan sighed, "I just became the city lord and the father again. I am really a winner in life. I just don't know who the city lord's wife is?"

When Zhao Langjiang and Yang Xiaoxiao were once in a while, Xiao Jinyan was not aware of it, and then entered Xichu and passed by them. Don’t you know that after Zhao Langjiang became the city lord, he held a wedding with Yang Xiaoxiao. The twenty cities in Yinyang and the nobles of the surrounding prefectures and prefectures all came to congratulate him, but Xiao Jinyan was missing, and Zhao Langjiang even deliberately took a seat on his right hand.

Yuwen Shuang said, "Brother Xiao, it seems that we are here at the right time. Zhao Langjiang is a father, we have to express something."

Xiao Jinyan thought for a while, "Why give this donkey to his son as a gift." Yu Wenshuang laughed and scolded Xiao Jinyan for not being upright, and said, "If it is true as Boss Shang said, you might as well take that piece of jade bi and give it to Zhao Langjiang."

Xiao Jinyan was just thinking about this, but when he thought that if he really took action to snatch the jade bi, not to mention being enemies with the major sects in the world, if Yu Wenshuang's identity was accidentally exposed, it would inevitably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, he hesitated a little.

Yuwen Shuang was extremely intelligent and guessed his thoughts and said, "It's better for us to disguise ourselves and leave, so we don't have to worry about being recognized by others."

Xiao Jinyan changed into Xue Donglai's mask, while Yu Wenshuang changed into men's clothes and had beards on her to become a big man with a beard.

Yuwenshuang has a graceful figure. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that she is a woman at a glance, so she was stuffed with cotton wool in her loose clothes and became bloated all over. It was just a matter of height, and she could do nothing.

Xiao Jinyan looked at her and said, "From now on, my name is Xue Donglai, and your name is Yu Wenxiang." This name is taken half of each of the three words Yu Wenshuang and gathered together casually.

Yu Wenshuang said dissatisfiedly, "It sounds so ugly. My name is Yu Donglai, your name is Xue Wenxiang."

Xiao Jinyan explained to him the origin of Xue Donglai's name and his reputation in the world.

It doesn't matter if you don't say it. When Yu Wenshuang heard it, she became angry, "I said how many masks do you have?

If you use it, you have to use Xue Donglai, and you still want to be a thief in your heart."

Xiao Jinyan wanted to cry but she couldn't cry. No matter how Xiao Jinyan coaxed her, Yu Wenshuang ignored him. The two of them fought and headed north to Shitou City.

...

In the middle of the stone city, there is a simple mansion, which is the temporary residence of the city lord's mansion.

After Chu Xiang took over as the city lord, he never stopped for half a year. Most of the 30,000 former subordinates of Western Chu remained in Shitou City and became civilians in the city. The three Feng Qiansui of Northern Zhou were dead. Seeing that Tuoba Niu Ren was dead, there was no way to survive when he returned to Shangjing City, he simply stayed and helped Chu Xiang create Shitou City together.

In the past six months, the construction of Stone City has been quite effective, but problems have also followed one after another.

The conflict between the Han and Chu people is getting worse, and fighting has become the norm. Zhao Langjiang is the boss again. Apart from giving him more than a hundred craftsmen and sending him some money and food regularly every month, he doesn't care about anything else.

In recent times, several large-scale armed fights have occurred. On the surface, it is because of the problem of equal work and different pay for the Han and Chu people when the city was built, but at heart they are people of two races. Whether they live in life or ideology, they can never pee in a single gourd.

Zhao Langjiang was simply. He had long disliked the lama named Turpan in Xihuguo Temple and drove Turpan here directly. Anyway, there were many people in Chu who believed in Lamaism, so he could use it as the best place here.

Turpan was extremely reluctant at first, but when he arrived, a cauldron of lectures came down, and nearly a thousand listeners and followers were all in the same way as when he was slaughtered in Yinyang City that day. Turpan immediately found the joy of life and was willing to live here.

At this moment, Turpan was instigating the establishment of the Dahuguo Temple by Chu Xiang, asking Chu Xiang for craftsmen and manpower. The stone city had just been built and there were many places to spend money. Chu Xiang was unwilling to pay at all, but Turpan was like a candy, pestering him.

In the end, Chu Xiang had no choice but to say, "I don't want money, but Da Lama, you are a wise man, and I will fully support you spiritually."

Turpan said, "City Lord, it's hard to cook without rice."

Chu Xiang said, "You are a monk, you can beg for alms and build a temple, get a merit book, and each household will donate money. You can use your three-inch tongue to influence them." He took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, "This is the two taels of silver that I personally sponsor you. The foundation of Stone City in the future will depend on you!"

After sending Turpan away, Chu Xiang's ears became much clearer. He had more important things to do, that is, the "God-given Bi" in the north of Shitou City.

What a shitty jade?

This is clearly a trick created by Zhao Langjiang!

A few months ago, Chu Xiang complained to Zhao Langjiang that the barren land of Stone City was not good, and if a city was built, tens of thousands of people would gather here without any vitality. The only way was to take advantage of the advantages of Stone City bordering Chu State to build Stone City into a free trade city.

In this regard, Shitou City has a natural advantage. It has a vast terrain and a drought weather, and can establish warehouses, which is incomparable to military fortresses like Hulukou. To put it bluntly, it is through tax reduction and tax exemption measures to legalize the smuggling between the two countries, and by the way, it also uses Feng Qiansui's relationship to pull the Northern Zhou Dynasty in. Only in this way can Shitou City have a way out.

Zhao Langjiang thought of doing it, and did it boldly. He first took advantage of this opportunity to break the reputation of Stone City. If there is no law, it can be done. As for whether the court will take care of it in the future, that is the future.

Setting this tone, Stone City still lacks one thing, that is: talent.

That's why this "God-given jade" was created.

This jade from heaven is now on the North Mountain and is strictly guarded by Yin Yang Yiqiong. No one is allowed to approach it. There are very few people who have actually seen it.

The recent rumors in the world are all circulated from Stone City and Yinyang City, and the more they are talking, the more mysterious it is. A treasure is born, attracting major sects in the world to compete. As for how to end it, it is Zhao Langjiang's affairs.

Over the past six months, Zhao Langjiang has stocked up a large amount of goods here, including grape wine, pearl agate, spices, war horses and sheepskins from Western Chu, and prices are very low.

Zhao Langjiang never thought of letting them go back, at least not letting them return empty-handed. When the major sects came, Zhao Langjiang had a way to let them buy it. Chu Qiu’s task was to take the opportunity to discuss trade affairs from various sects in the world, and it would be best to set up a stronghold in Stone City.

With a stronghold, wealth comes.

This is a temptation that people cannot resist

.

Zhao Langjiang is a reckless man. He does not understand the economic method. These ghost ideas are all written by one person, that is, Chai Gongwang.

This former chief of staff, Li Xiancheng, had few words in his heart, but his ability to make money was first-class. Li Xiancheng used it to do paperwork before, which really buried his talent.

After Zhao Langjiang became the city lord, Chai Gongwang thought that Zhao Langjiang would settle the score in the autumn, so he was cautious and feared for a long time. Later, Zhao Langjiang let go of his grudges and chatted with him for a day and a night. He was hired as the director of the city lord's mansion by Zhao Langjiang, and then he devoted himself to doing things for Zhao Langjiang.

Throughout the afternoon, Chu Xiang was busy meeting with guests from various sects. Zhao Langjiang issued a death order to build three commercial lines, namely Central Plains, Jiangnan and Lingnan, and congratulations to his future son at that time.

When Zhao Lianjiang captured him alive in Hengduan Mountain, the two were still enemies. In a blink of an eye, Zhao Lianjiang had become the lord of Yinyang City, famous in the western border, and Chu Xiang became his subordinate. Chu Xiang could no longer have any hostility towards Zhao Lianjiang, not to mention that Zhao Lianjiang also assured him that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would help him return to Xijing City.

...

Xiao Jinyan and Yu Wenshuang walked in the stone city, with simple shops, all kinds of goods, and the price was not high. A box of rouge from the Western Regions was only a few dozen cents. If these things were transferred to the capital, they would be sold for a few taels of silver. Without having to go out of the Ming Dynasty, you could buy good and cheap goods, so they attracted many merchants to come.

There are also many people in the world in the city, including people from the eight major sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei, as well as some second- and third-rate small gangs. Some of them have been to Shitou City for more than a month. While waiting for the birth of Tianci Zhibi, they gradually learned about this newly built city. There is only one Tianci Zhibi, but there are countless opportunities to do business here. In addition to spending money to buy goods, some people have already begun to wonder whether to build a stronghold here.

All the students who came here were second-generation disciples from various major sects.

It is not appropriate to see such treasure hunting matters, including the heads of major sects and elders. After all, they are long-known figures in the world, and they cherish their feathers, not to mention that this is the territory of Zhao Langjiang, Yinyang City.

Who is Zhao Langjiang? The new generation of Golden Sword King, who cut off Li Xiancheng with one sword and two swords, killed Tuoba Niu people, defeated the Western Chu army, and had a very famous reputation. If these leaders came here, would they meet Zhao Langjiang? If Zhao Langjiang proposed a war competition, how should they deal with it?

Win? It's unlikely.

Lose? How can you stay in the world in the future?

Therefore, the second-generation disciples are most suitable. First, they can increase their experience in the martial arts world, and second, they can also make friends through martial arts.

Yuwenshuang looked at the bustling crowd, shuttled through the simple city, and asked Xiao Jinyan, "What did you see here?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Enviousness and vitality. In less than a few years, this stone city will become the second largest city above the western border and outside Yinyang City, no, or even the largest city."

Yuwen Shuang said, "My father had a high opinion of Zhao Langjiang back then, and I was puzzled. He thought he was just a reckless man who knew martial arts. In this way, my eyesight was still a little worse than my father."

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "I admire Senior Yuwen very much. I dare not say anything else. Just because he didn't choose the sons of the Shangshu and the princes of the royal family, he chose me. His vision of choosing a son-in-law is the only one in the world!"

Yu Wenshuang smiled and scolded, "You go and ask Zhao Langjiang, if the city wall is not strong enough, you can use your skin to repair the city wall."

While speaking, a woman in green clothes passed by them. The woman glanced at "Xue Donglai", looked unhappy, and said disdainfully, "A thief." After that, she walked towards the north of Shitou City.

Yu Wenshuang looked at him with a smile.

Xiao Jinyan said, "I don't know that Li Qianjue."

Yuwen Shuang nodded, "Well, I don't know you, and I can still call someone else's name so quickly. This is a closed disciple of the head of Emei. Is Xia Xiao tempted?"

Xiao Jinyan waved his hands repeatedly and explained, "We three went west that day and spent a while with her and Sun Shaoming from Yujian Villa."

Yuwenshuang said sourly, "I have been able to ferry on the same boat for a hundred years, but I still said nothing? Why? Do you still want to slept with a shared pillow?"

Xiao Jinyan discovered that Yu Wenshuang was arrogant and unreasonable.

He looked in the direction where Li Qianjue was walking, and saw her laughing at the same old man. Xiao Jinyan was shocked when he saw the old man, and turned around and left.

Yu Wenshuang asked, "What's wrong?"
