Kuai Chuan: I really don’t want to be a villain

Chapter 55 Basic Market

After the death of Emperor Jin, the news quickly spread throughout the Three Kingdoms, and Xia and Chu sent envoys to express their condolences.

The King of Wei is dead, but the country of Jin is not at peace. The border fronts have been shrinking again and again. Fortunately, Xia and Chu have already been frightened and did not start a war while the old and new kings were alternating.

On the day the new emperor ascended the throne, Song Qiao stood in a corner. Qi Xuan held the little emperor's hand and led him step by step to the dragon chair. However, she herself did not step down from the dragon chair. Instead, she faced Ministers, please accept their bows and bows calmly.

When the late emperor's edict, posthumously titled Emperor Jing, was read out, some corrupt scholars immediately couldn't accept it, and the grand enthronement ceremony turned into a farce. Everyone in the Jin Luan audience's eyes were red with red eyes, and they wanted to rush forward and devour Qi Xuan alive in the next second.

The little emperor was so frightened that he burst into tears, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly went to comfort him.

Compared to the excitement of the civilian officials, the military attachés were much calmer. Led by Pinghou, most of them watched with cold eyes, seemingly happy to see the scene in front of them.

"enough!"

Qi Xuan shouted coldly, "Anyone who makes noise again will be punished as disrespectful and taken to Dali Temple. The late emperor's edict is here. If you want to resist the decree, you are treason. Those who rebel will be punished by the nine tribes."

A pin drop could be heard in the hall for a while.

Suddenly, a shrill cry sounded, "Even if I die! I will not recognize you as the eldest princess of the town!! The late emperor must have been bewitched by you!!"

Qi Xuan's expression was cold, "Here comes someone!"

A large wave of guards rushed in from outside the palace, "Jiang Ming was very disrespectful to the late emperor. He was taken into Dali Temple and interrogated."

Jiang Ming was pulled away, still shouting something miserably, and everyone was silent for a while.

"I am only the regent. When the emperor comes of age, I will naturally return power to him. Instead of staring at me, my lords, you should think about how to serve the country and the people, how to unify the three kingdoms, and fulfill the last wishes of our ancestors."

Ministers, you look at me and I look at you. Finally, under the leadership of the Prime Minister, they lowered their heads.

The plan has begun and is moving towards the goal step by step. Song Qiao has not stayed in Jin for too long. Qi Xuan has great power. When the time comes, countless capable people and righteous people will come to help her, and when her power reaches its peak , she didn’t need Song Qiao’s temptation, she had to get there.

On the day she left the Kingdom of Jin, Song Qiao was alone at the Yangguan border. She was riding a white horse and looked back at the hillside not far away with a complicated expression.

"See you again..."

Watching the man leave, Qi Xuan stood on the ridge with her hands behind her back, expressionless. After a long time, she lowered her eyebrows, turned around and left, "Summon Huang Anqi to Beijing."

Yazhou, the southernmost state capital of the Xia Kingdom, is often used to exile officials and criminals. Most of the people here are ignorant mountain people and vicious pirates. Because it is close to the sea, pirates are prevalent and the folk customs are even louder than in the desert. Much more powerful.

Here, living is a kind of luxury, and being able to live one more day is a gift from God.

Of course, the more chaotic and disordered the place, the safer and more convenient it is for Song Qiao.

The headquarters of the Sun Moon God Sect was moved here. Hundreds of tough martial arts people were far beyond the ability of ordinary mountain people to resist. Coupled with the battle formation skills taught to them by Song Qiao, this group of people suddenly became like wolves among sheep. , and soon occupied a port city under Yazhou's rule.

With the port city at his back, Song Qiao began to recruit troops. The address of King Wu's secret cache has been found by Linglong, and he is now leading the people from Lingxing Palace to excavate it. Once the gold and silver inside are taken out, Song Qiao will prepare to swallow Yazhou .

The port city was named Xingang by her. The four captured sea ships are now being trained intensively. This place is far away from the Central Plains and traffic is blocked. When the Yazhou prefect receives the news and verifies it, it will be sent to Xia Kingdom Kyoto. Emperor Xia issued an order, If we let the nearby army come to suppress the bandits, I'm afraid it will be a year.

One year was enough for Song Qiao to train a strong army, and then use this strong army as the basis to occupy the entire Yazhou.

Standing at the port of Xingang City, Song Qiao looked at the Biluo Sea in the distance, "Next, we have to snatch some craftsmen back. Many ideas must be realized by them. Unfortunately, many high-level craftsmen are in the capital of Xia Kingdom. Now we can only Barely making something ordinary..."

Three months later, along with the urgent documents from the prefect of Yazhou, there was also a group of troops sent by Song Qiao. They carried a large amount of gold and silver and entered Kyoto as merchants in Shu. The money offensive, This is where it unfolds.

Some people in the court were disapproving of the urgent document, and some were indignant. The argument continued until the end, and a month passed.

The longer the delay was, the more beneficial it would be for Song Qiao. When the court finally came up with a decree for the Southern Xiang army to enter Yazhou, Song Qiao was already walking on the streets of Yazhou Fucheng.

"Arrange for people to collect the refugees as soon as possible, and announce the agricultural regulations I formulated earlier. I want everyone in Yazhou to know that under my rule, the saying "land to the tiller" is a fact. In addition, send people to Meng I need him to lead people to provoke a war between Nanman and Xia."

"Bring a message to Chen Liu. I want Liuhe Trading Company to enter the Xia Kingdom market years ago. I will give him 6% of the shares to use in his dealings and drag Xia Kingdom's army into Yunzhou!"

In a courtyard in the city, when Song Qiao was thinking about whether he had missed anything, Linglong walked in.

"There is one thing you need to know." Linglong said softly.

Song Qiao hugged her and said, "When did you come back!"

"Just now... the people below have found out that people's hearts are a little unstable. You have occupied Xingang, and it can be said that you have taken over the headquarters for the Sun Moon God Sect. Now that you have occupied Yazhou, it is a rebellion. Some people have begun to question your identity. What to do."

Song Qiao rubbed Linglong's neck, "I know...it doesn't matter...I will handle it. Just push it on Jin Guo. By the way, tell me these things as soon as you come back. I don't have anything else to say." Tell me?"

"Yes." Linglong felt a little itchy and shrank her neck. Although the relationship between the two was close enough, she still couldn't accept Song Qiao's straightforward way of expressing her feelings.

"Your senior sister wants to see you."

Song Qiao paused, "Senior Sister?"

"Ah."

"Why don't you come to me directly?" Song Qiao felt a little strange. It has been more than a year since the martial arts competition, and she has been missing for a long time. Since she last asked Linglong to reveal her thoughts of revenge to Wu Yazi, she I have never been in contact with anyone from Xiaoyao Sect. Why do you suddenly appear now?

Linglong was helpless, "She has to find you."

In the past year, Song Qiao has been stationed in Yazhou, leading his men to get rich and become well-off. No, he got rich and rebelled and killed people. Most people really don't know that the biggest bandit leader in Yazhou now is Dongfang Bubai, also known as Xiaoyao Sect. Disciple, don’t worry.

"Okay, then I will go to Lingxing Palace to meet her when I have time." Yazhou is her base. Under normal circumstances, she would not choose to meet her old friends in Yazhou.

"And one more thing……"

"Did you think of me."

Linglong shut up immediately. She couldn't understand how this person could say such things so naturally!

"You must have missed me, right? I've been exhausted these past few days. How about taking a hot spring bath together in the evening?"

Linglong took a breath and slapped Song Qiao on the face, "Qi Xuan's people are also looking for King Wu's secret cache. I'm afraid she will find out in advance that we are digging."

There is too much money in King Wu's secret treasure. Even if Song Qiao keeps spending it, there is still a lot that has not been unearthed, at least half of it is still there.

"It doesn't matter. She only has half a roll and can't find it. Let's take a shower first."

"...be more serious!"
