Everyone was a little confused about Li Yanqi's idea. Hu Ruiqi was impatient. As soon as Li Yanqi returned to the meeting hall, he asked impatiently: "I can see what these two people came here to say today. Sir, you..."

Li Yanqi raised his hand and waved, and Hu Ruiqi swallowed his words again.

Seeing that he didn't want to talk more, Wang Zhenlong cautiously tested him.

"Boss, are you planning to fight the state government to the end?"

Li Yanqi felt a little annoyed by their stares, so he just spoke his mind.

"Do you think I'm stupid? There's no benefit in fighting to the end. If you lose, you'll abandon your family and career and become homeless. If you win, I'll be the one who stands out. Or do you want to be traitors?"

"Your Excellency's words make sense. No matter who wins between Zhao Huo and Xiahou Yuan, they will still be under the jurisdiction of the Jing Dynasty. If we overthrow the Chongzhou government at this time, then in the eyes of other states, what is the difference between us and Han Guang and Liu Ping of Maozhou?"

At this point, Hu Ruilin thought of his father, his eyes turned fierce and he clenched his fists.

"Actually, I have been planning for this day for a long time. Yunlong Town is a small place after all. With the current market situation, how can I stay in a corner for long? I must go to Chongzhou."

Everyone was shocked and puzzled by his behavior just now.

"Why didn't you agree to those two?"

Li Yanqi picked up the remaining strong tea and took a sip slowly.

"I will go, but I'm not going to be a subordinate of a rookie. If I had agreed to their request, I would just be filling the shoes of that yellow bastard. What's the point of that?"

"What do you mean, brother?"

Li Yanqi put down the blue and white porcelain tea bowl, his eyes flickering, and said slowly: "The patrol camp, Yunlong Town can do it, and I can do Chongzhou Prefecture as well."

Zhuang Xingbai: "I'm afraid Cai Zhang won't agree."

Li Yanqi chuckled, "In the face of huge benefits, no fool would refuse. Besides, I believe in the methods of those old hands in Yunlong County. If you don't believe me... let's wait and see."

But the next day, Li Yanqi indeed received an invitation. It was from wealthy businessmen from all the towns and villages in Yunlong County. In the name of the Chamber of Commerce, they invited him and Cai Zhang to attend a banquet at Yingkeju in Yunlong Town.

After Lin Yanyu found out, he was uneasy, worried that Cai Zhang would make things difficult for him.

Li Yanqi held her little hand and comforted her with soft words.

"Don't you know your husband's ability? If Cai Zhang really wants to do something and I can't beat him, won't I just run away? Don't forget this skill of running away. Your husband has been extremely skilled at it since he was seven years old."

Lin Yanyu was amused by his words, and the worries in her heart were relieved a little.

Li Yanqi kissed her pink little mouth a few times, then took Ma Xigui and mounted the horse, galloping away from Wulong Village and heading towards Yunlong Town.

The road in front of the Yingkeju entrance was lined with horse-drawn carriages that stretched as far as the eye could see.

There were also servants and guards standing in groups of three or four at the door, some were whispering to each other, while others were just standing there bored.

When many diners saw this scene, they knew that Yingkeju had a distinguished guest today and must have closed the business, so they all shook their heads and left with regret.

There were already six or seven tables of banquets set up in the hall of the Yingkeju, and sitting around the tables were some of the well-known wealthy businessmen in the county.

Mr. Wang, the rich man, was sitting at the main table, toasting a square-faced man in an indigo brocade robe. His round, fat face was huddled together, and his flattery was evident in his words.

"I have long heard that you are so brave and valiant that no one can match you. Even the emperor has praised you so much, but I have never had the chance to meet you. Seeing you today is really an eye-opener for me. I have finally seen a true hero!"

Cai Zhang was feeling depressed when Rich Man Wang happened to bump into him. Not only did he not take the glass of wine, he looked at Rich Man Wang with a gloomy face, which made Cai Zhang break out in a cold sweat and almost drop the glass.

Boss Song was very good at observing people's expressions and seeing this, he immediately put on a smile and tried to smooth things over.

"Old Wang, I would say that this is just your ignorance. With your awful appearance, are you qualified to toast the adults? You make the adults feel uncomfortable and annoy others for no reason."

Boss Song looked at the pearl curtain behind him and shouted, "Yue'e, come out and toast to the master."

A beautiful girl in light gauze came out from behind the curtain in response.

Cai Zhang has always disliked prostitutes. He thinks that prostitutes have a pair of arms that have been slept with by thousands of men and a pair of red lips that have been tasted by tens of thousands of people, and they are far less noble and clean than girls from decent families.

Boss Song raised his eyebrows, but when he saw that Cai Zhang didn't look at him carefully, he turned his eyes away with a lack of interest, and immediately leaned over to whisper in Cai Zhang's ear.

Cai Zhang's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself that although this girl's status was not very noble, it would be nice to be a little toy for fun. He looked at the girl and looked her up and down with raised eyebrows.

The girl had an almond-shaped face and rosy cheeks, delicate skin and tender flesh. She was wearing a snow-white gauze dress. There was not a trace of worldly air about her. She was beautiful and dignified.

Cai Zhang had been worried about a lawsuit since he came to Yunlong County. Now that he saw a beautiful and clean woman, his mood improved.

Boss Song observed his expression, and said with a wink: "Miss Yue'e, why don't you come over and serve me properly."

Yue'e walked lightly and sat next to Cai Zhang. She glanced at Cai Zhang with her rosy cheeks. Seeing that he was also looking at her, she quickly lowered her eyes with a look of great affection.

Cai Zhang was really aroused, and thought that after the banquet, he would take the girl home and enjoy her for a few times.

Men understand men best. There is nothing that Boss Song does not understand. He was overjoyed and said, "Miss Yue'e, the governor will be your master from now on. Why don't you pour some wine for your master?"

Yue'e glanced at Cai Zhang, poured a glass of wine gracefully, held the glass in front of Cai Zhang, and said delicately, "Jiedushi Sir, this is poured by Yue'e herself, please."

Cai Zhang sat there without moving at first, and Yue'e moved forward and brought the small white porcelain cup to Cai Zhang's lips.

She looked at Cai Zhang with a charming smile and coaxed him to drink in a sweet voice.

Everyone else also joined in the fun, saying some boastful, flattering and auspicious words, praising Cai Zhang so much that he lost himself in the process.

Cai Zhang was feeling elated and was just about to drink the cup of beauty's favor.

Suddenly there was a commotion at the door, and someone shouted, "The county lieutenant is here!"

Cai Zhang's face suddenly fell, and his body, which had been floating in the air, fell to the ground. He looked at the door with eyes as malicious as a venomous snake.

A tall Tibetan man of eight feet in height came in from outside. He had honey-colored skin, a monkey-like back and a wasp waist, black hair tied up in a bun, and was wearing a black suit. He had long eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips that were slightly curled.

Those dark and expressive eyes had been looking towards him since he entered the Yingkeju.

Cai Zhang originally thought that as a warrior, Li Yanqi should be a dark and strong man like Huang Batian, but he never expected that this guy had such a rare good appearance.

Cai Zhang already hated him to the core, and now he felt even more upset that his limelight was stolen. He just wished that this guy would disappear from his sight immediately.

But he saw Li Yanqi walking straight towards him with a warm smile on his face.
