The most powerful minister in the world

The days passed by, and in a blink of an eye it was the morning of You Zijin’s birthday.

Qishan Mountain is already bustling with activity. Amidst the vast mist and faint clouds, there are the sounds of surging people and rutting wheels.

Jingxi was patrolling back and forth with his hands behind his back, and whenever he met someone he would say: "Drink more tonight. The second boss has spoken, so you can have fun as much as you like."

Under the cheerful shouts, Jing Xi led Li Sanyou to various wine warehouses until they sat down at the wooden table to rest in the evening.

"Second Young Master, why do I see that you are not nervous at all?" Ananda asked, rubbing his sword back and forth on the grindstone.

Jingxi squatted barefoot on the chair and raised his hands and said, "Everything is ready, so there is nothing to worry about. As long as there are some fireworks, Yang Hu and Li Cheng will rush up with five thousand brothers and kill them."

The long sword in Ananda's hand was polished and made a buzzing sound from time to time. The dark clouds in the sky outside the house became thicker and thicker, gradually covering the bright moon.

A few dull thunders frightened away the birds on the eaves, and the half-open door was blown back and forth by the weak cool breeze, making a constant creaking sound.

The silence before the storm is always so thought-provoking.

"Hey~ Brother, I've been looking for you for a long time. I've been waiting here for a while. Come with me quickly. The second boss said you've been working hard these days and asked you to get some drinks later."

Seeing Dou Jie rushing in, Jingxi put on her shoes and exchanged glances with Ananda before following Dou Jie out.

A shadowy figure seemed to be wandering next to the willow tree outside the door. When she saw Jing Xi and Dou Jie both walking out, she couldn't help biting her lip.

"Should I tell him? Ouch! What does it have to do with me? The people hiding in the back mountain must be temporarily changing defenses, right?"

Li San went to the back mountain to pick fresh mulberry kernels yesterday and saw countless people running around in the secret camp. She had never known there was such a camp before.

I couldn't help but feel something strange in my heart, with an indescribable meaning. I tossed and turned at night, inexplicably thinking about telling Jing Xi.

But he was so busy these days that he didn't even have time to eat, let alone see him.

I finally came here today and met Dou Jie by his side again.

"Brother Dou, I have already distributed all the wine. Do you need to prepare anything else?"

Dou Jie waved his hand and said, "We brothers have no other hobbies in the mountains except drinking and eating meat. I guess we are all exhausted right now."

"Hahaha, let the second master start quickly, I can't wait."

The two of them laughed and chatted nonchalantly, and soon they arrived at the huge cave used for birthday banquets in the main village.

Don't underestimate this cave. It is completely natural. After these bandits carefully decorated it, it has reached the level of uncanny workmanship.

In addition to the decorations needed for birthdays, the entire cave is brightly red, and under the illumination of countless candlelights, it looks very festive and eye-catching.

At the top of the natural stone steps, Yu Zijin, the jade-faced scholar, and Scarface, the master of Qishan, were talking and laughing to each other.

Jingxi watched the Qishan headmaster from a distance. A scar stretched straight from his right eye to the corner of his mouth. He looked fierce.

"Brother, I brought you the second boss." Dou Jie bent down and smiled.

Scarface looked at Jing Xi carefully, then leaned on the stone chair covered with tiger skin and said to You Zijin, "Is this the boy from the Feng family who helped you organize the birthday banquet?"

You Zijin nodded, stood up, patted Jing Xi on the shoulder and said, "I'm very satisfied with your arrangement. I have to toast you tonight."

"How dare you, how dare you," Jing Xi pretended to be humble and waved his hands, "First boss, second boss, look it's already dark, can we start?"

You Zijin and Scarface looked at each other, and Scarface patted the armrest: "Okay! Let's get started, let's celebrate the second boss properly!"

"Okay," Jing Xi cleared his throat and shouted to the boy who was preparing to beat the drum outside the door, "beat the drum, the second master is celebrating his birthday. Brothers, serve the wine and open the altar!"

Twelve three-person-high drums outside the door resounded throughout Qishan, and heroic shouts came from various camps.

The long stone table was filled with cheerful gestures of people drinking wine, crossing their arms and fisting with bare arms.

"Come on, come on, I have to toast you." You Zijin raised his wine glass towards Jing Xi gracefully.

"If so, I should respect you."

After the two of them finished drinking, the people below took over the conversation, and every little boss who was walking around began to present the gifts they had prepared to Yu Zijin.

Jingxi secretly counted the time, and when it was almost time for the medicine to take effect, he eloquently persuaded everyone to go out and set off fireworks.

Scarface and You Zijin were surrounded by people and came outside the cave. Now there were rows and rows of fireworks arranged neatly, with one person standing in front of each barrel-sized firework.

Under Jing Xi's clear command, Xinzi was ignited, and three breaths later, fireworks exploded in the air. The colorful firelight was dazzling, shining colorfully on everyone's face.

When the last bouquet of fireworks was extinguished in the sky, as one person fell to the ground, the others fell to the ground one after another like a tree falling and hozens scattered.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and lightning flashed in the dark clouds in the sky. Jingxi spit out the antidote hidden under his tongue, patted the back of his hands, walked to You Zijin, and turned him over with his toes.

He knelt down, patted You Zijin's face and mocked, "Tsk, tsk, the jade-faced scholar is nothing more than that."

On the other side, the soldiers of Xiziying who had been ambushing on the poisonous mist path under Duantou Peak rushed to the top of the peak without stopping.

I saw that everyone had a white face towel tied on their face, and some of the face towels were stained with marks left by some yellow liquid after it dried.

The moment the leader, Yang Hu, rushed to the top of the mountain, he quickly pulled off his face towel and spat several times.

"Bah, bah, bah, you're going to kill me. If the brothers in the ninth camp find out about this, why don't I laugh to death?!"

Although Li Cheng was not much better, he could hold it in. He just pinched his nose and said: "Brothers, success or failure depends on this. According to the plan, the troops are divided into five groups, one in the southeast and one in the northwest. Follow me the rest of the way. !”

Yang Hu also shouted: "Listen up, don't worry about those lying on the ground. If you encounter a living person, just chop them. End the battle as quickly as possible. Don't give the grandchildren of the bandits outside a chance to react. Do you understand?" ?!”

"understand!"

Yang Hu and Li Cheng looked at each other and nodded: "Let's go!"

On the outskirts of Qishan, Mu Sheng was stationed in the central army, and Li Dongyang followed closely with his sword.

Under the calm conditions, there are actually dangers everywhere, and you can’t make a mistake!

Just waiting for the fireworks to start again, Mu Sheng led 50,000 soldiers to charge into the mountain!

The entire Jiangnan West Road pattern will change tonight!
