Front yamen hall.

Zhang Cong, the personal guards, shouted loudly, "Andongdao Military Commander, Pacifier, and the governor of Wu Zhenzhou, arrived in Lantian County!"

The living room is a little quiet.

The powerful and powerful Wuzhenzhou who were chatting with each other turned their heads one after another.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Xiao appeared in a formal official robe, a dark-colored round-necked robe shirt, a jade belt around his waist, and a silver fish bag containing a silver fish talisman on it.

Black hat on the head and black leather boots on the feet.

The dress was formal and energetic. The Baekje people couldn't help but be surprised by Li Xiao's handsomeness. However, when everyone's eyes swept over the Tang sword on Li Xiao's waist, they felt a little shocked.

This knife is so incompatible. Why did Li Xiao insist on wearing a knife on his body at such a banquet venue today?

"Hello everyone."

Li Xiao greeted them while walking with a smile.

His appearance of human and animal innocence immediately made the Baekje people who were just frightened by the Tang sword relax again. Yes, this governor Li is famously weak and dare not do anything to them.

He came here to be a governor, but he had to rely on these local tyrants, otherwise his governor would be in name but not real.

The group of people also greeted Li Xiao with a smile, but they felt a little more contempt for Li Xiao.

After walking to the top and sitting down, Li Xiao poured himself a glass of wine first.

More than ten mercenary guards including Zhao Chiman and Zhang Cong lined up below without showing any expression.

"Have all the guests arrived?" Li Xiao asked.

Zhang Cong replied, "There are still seven invited guests who have not yet entered the city."

"I guess it's a delay on the road. Forget it, let's start first without waiting for them."

Zhang Cong stepped forward and said, "Please take the guests to the table."

The people who were originally chaotic were led to the seat.

Two rows of seats, each of them sat down.

But what made them not very satisfied was that this table was an empty seat, and there was neither the fine wine brought from the Central Plains Tang Dynasty, nor even a single order of dishes on the table.

There is nothing.

An old man with white hair and hair was unhappy, and he couldn't help but speak, "The governor invited me to come to the banquet, why is this an empty seat and there is no share of wine and food?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Xiao laughed three times.

"Well, how can there be no wine or food for a banquet? Please wait, let me ask someone to arrange this."

Li Xiao paused, "The wine and food will be arranged soon, but I have a question to take advantage of this time. I want to ask you all."

The old man didn't know that his death was coming, so he said carelessly, "Master, please ask."

"Among those here, they are all considered to be the top figures in Wuzhenzhou. Many of them have received classic teachings from my Confucian sages of the Tang Dynasty. You can understand my Chinese language and even speak well. So what I want to ask is that I asked me to post a list to recruit the brave men of the state and the conditions offered were quite good, but strangely, why no one applied for the recruitment at all? I wonder if you, is it because the conditions for a certain recruitment were not good enough?"

The old man laughed a few times, but did not answer.

"What? Is there anything funny about this?" Li Xiao stared at him and asked.

"I am not laughing at the governor, but those untouchables. I guess they don't understand the kindness of the governor and don't know how to be polite. Perhaps the governor should change the recruitment conditions and not recruit people from those untouchable slaves, but directly say to us big families. We will respond. At that time, arrange for the children from the family to come to apply for the recruitment. Thousands of soldiers from Yongxiang in the state can still recruit them quickly."

Someone immediately followed, "Yes, yes, the children of our family have received good education since childhood. They are good at ease, and they are good at riding and shooting. It is naturally the most suitable for recruiting state courage. Why should the governor recruit those untouchable slaves?"

These people say everything.

The meaning is very clear. You have just arrived, but you still don’t understand the people here. If you want to recruit soldiers from the state, how can you summon the slaves and give them such good conditions. Especially if you owe debtors can actually exempt past debts after applying for the recruitment, which is a bit inappropriate.

If you want the state soldiers, we will definitely cooperate with us. Our family has many children and good conditions. It is easy to get the Zhizhou soldiers for you.

"hehe."

Li Xiao's face has slowly changed.

He held the cup and asked coldly, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

A cold tone blew like a cold wind, with a cold murderous aura.

"I dare not, or dare." said the old man with white hair, but his eyes were disrespectful. It was obvious that if you don't get our support in this place, you don't want to do anything.

"Have you asked the old man for his surname and name?" Li Xiao asked while playing with his wine glass.

"I am a man." The old man was very proud when he talked about his surname.

The Guo family is a surname that does not exist in the Central Plains, but is very famous in Baekje because it is one of the eight surnames of Baekje. The king of Baekje is surnamed Fuyu, and there are eight major surnames in the country, the Sha family, the Zhen family of the Sha family, the Mu family, and the Guo family, which can be called one of the eight major surnames, is very strong.

Not only does it mean that there are many people in the country, but the Eight surnames have the same meaning as the five Shandong surnames in the Central Plains, which means they are the great families and have strong strength.

This old man from the Guo family is a branch of the Baekje Guo family in Wuzhenzhou, but he is also strong enough to have enough capital.

"It turns out that it is Guo's clan, one of the eight surnames. I'm rude and respect. Mr. Guo, I want to borrow something from you!"

The old man with white hair likes to look surprised when he sees others' surnames, and then says arrogantly, "Just speak only."

"I want to borrow the head on your neck for use!"

As he finished speaking, the old man with white hair turned red.

"Governor Mo and I were kidding."

"I'm not kidding, I really borrowed the head on your neck to use it." After saying that, Li Xiao pretended to fail and the cup in his hand fell to the ground.

With a crisp sound of ginger, the wine glass fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

Smash the cup as the number.

Suddenly, a large piece of footsteps sounded, and hundreds of fully armed Tang soldiers rushed in from outside.

Sharp spears and shaky horizontal swords face each other, and arrows were placed on the unbuttoned bowstrings.

A scream rang out.

Those Baekje people never expected that they would have such a trick.

"Mr. Guo, please lend your head on your neck, please agree."

The old man surnamed Guo was already scared to fight. He didn't expect that Li Xiao would turn against him if he said he would turn against him. It was faster than reading a book.

"Dare you ask the governor, what is the crime of the country?"

"You have many sins. I will now list the sects of you."

He stopped the people of Wuzhenzhou from recruiting state soldiers, secretly sent people to spy on the governor's mansion, and even secretly intercepted and killed messengers on the Tang army's road, etc. He also secretly wrote letters with the Baekje court, willing to cooperate with the Baekje army in the future, etc.

"Do it!"

Two boys Liu Lian and Zhang Cong stepped forward and dragged Guo Shi to Li Xiao.

"Please ask for the sword of the emperor!"

Drawing out the emperor's sword, Li Xiao sneered at Guoshi and swung the sword hard.

A huge head fell in response to the sound.
