The white index finger made a rhythmic sound on the table, He Lianqi looked at the few people below, shaking like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, with a faint smile that didn't reach his eyes still on his face.

"My lords, please sit up. Don't panic, I'm still reasonable."

As soon as these words came out, the lobby fell silent, and he clearly heard the sound of several people swallowing.

Helian Qi raised his eyebrows, "Huh?" The slightly raised ending sound made everyone flinch.

The shadow guards stood beside him like stone sculptures. If they could not sense the slight breathing sound, they would have thought they were not alive.

"Thank you, General Xie, for your understanding." A middle-aged man with a large mole on his left cheek tremblingly helped the minister to sit down.

He Lianqi searched his memory, he is a student of Shangshu, one of the cabinet ministers, his surname seems to be Qi?A side branch of the Qi family.

The Qi family... the family that the birdman abandoned his sister to marry, tsk!

"Xiaomei, serve tea to all the adults, good tea."

"Yes."

Helian Qi's tone was flat, without any emotion.This made the people below even more terrified. If someone beats and scolds them, or hates them, that's okay, at least they have a bottom line in their hearts.

The hall was so quiet that the sound of breathing could be heard clearly, the orcs' ears were already sensitive, and He Lianqi could still hear their uncontrollable heartbeats.

Not long after, Xiaomei came with a tea tray, each with a cup, and Helian Qi was given first.

Looking at the teacup, no one dared to move it. Who knows if there is any material in it?

"Why don't you drink it?" Helian Qi said calmly, "Afraid of being poisoned?"

Several people wept and bowed their heads, before "Xuanyuan Yi" asked them to stand up, but now they dare not kneel.

The youngest man, who was also one of the cabinet ministers, gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, General."

That being said, there is still no one to pick it up.

The corners of Helian Qi's lips curled up slightly, "Tell me, you guys have come here on an appointment, what is the reason?"

A few people were dumbfounded, could they say they came to see his joke?Their home is not very far from the General's Mansion, and they saw everything clearly last night.Almost the entire Yunyang City was in agitation, they were just the first batch of people to be received.

I don't know...

"He Zhongqiu?" He Lianqi gave a proper step.

Shang Shu nodded quickly, "Yes, congratulations to the general on a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

The rest echoed: "I wish the general a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

The smile on Helian Qi's lips grew stronger, and his eyes lit up, "I also wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

A few people bit the bullet and nodded, thinking to themselves why are they still laughing?It looks good, but no one dares to appreciate it.

"Xiaomei, the adults came from a long way, they must have brought a lot of things, I'm afraid I'm exhausted, I'll tell the kitchen to make more delicious food later." He Lianqi laughed, as if entertaining an old friend.

Xiaomei nodded, "Yes."

Several people were shocked.

"On this day of great joy, what treasures did the adults bring here? Tell us and let us have fun together." He Lianqi bit "Daxi" and "Treasure" very hard.

They finally understood what the faint light in those green eyes was—cunning.

"This..." Shang Shu, as the biggest official among these people, swallowed subconsciously.

He Lianqi narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone was a bit cold, "No?"

"Yes!" Shang Shu replied reflexively, fearing that he would be crushed into scum in the next second.

Helian Qi smiled amiably, as if the person before was not him. "Master Shangshu, what is there?"

"Baiyin... ten thousand taels?" Shang Shu asked uncertainly.

Helian Qi sighed, and said to the people beside him: "Chengcheng, you also said that Shang Shu would give me the newly obtained jadeite." The tone was very disappointed.

Xuan Cheng froze when he heard the name "Cheng Cheng", and immediately reacted, "Don't worry, General, how can Shang Shu's emeralds compare to Lord Qi's ten mermaid tears?"

"Really?" Helian Qi looked at him with burning eyes.

Qi Lei's face was ugly, and he didn't answer for a long time.

He Lianqi's eyes dimmed a little, and the smile on his face faded, "Is this how you guys fooled the general? If so, let's drink tea and go back."

Several people trembled, Qi Lei gritted his molars and said: "General, I have exactly this intention."

"Huh? Then Master Shang Shu is more picky than his own students?" He Lian Qi smiled.

Shangshu was helpless, his expression was like cutting flesh. "Emerald... I will ask someone to go back and get it later."

"A gentleman doesn't take what others like, Lord Shang Shu seems to be in a difficult situation, this general really can't bear it." He Lianqi looked sad, as if he was the one who wanted to give up the treasure.

The four shadow guards tried their best to control their twitching faces. Is this their upright general?

No matter how much blood dripped from Shang Shu's heart, how much he wanted to throw mmp at him, he still had to force a smile on his face, "This is a gift from the minister voluntarily to the general, so there is no need for the general to be troubled."

"Master Shang Shu really has deep affection for this general, unlike some people who don't give presents when they visit, but pick them up instead." Helian Qi pointedly glanced at the few people who didn't dare to speak.

"General, I don't have such treasures as Lord Shangshu and Lord Qi, so I don't know if a thousand taels of gold can do it?" A more flexible person said.

"With the financial resources of the Wan family, a thousand taels is too stingy, let's go for five thousand." Helian Qi said lightly.

The smile on Wan Jincai's face could hardly hold back, "What the general said is true."

The remaining three gave ten thousand taels of silver each, and He Lianqi was smiling the whole time.

"Very good, let's drink tea."

How many people are about to cry, why are you still allowed to drink tea?

Shangshu thought that he thought it was too little, so he said with a heart: "General, why don't you add another 1000 taels of gold?"

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu." He Lianqi blinked, "It's still early, why don't people go back and get it now? The general is curious about what the mermaid tears look like, oh, yes, it is said that jadeite is an ice seed, isn't it? "

Shang Shu nodded, feeling like vomiting blood.

In the end, they each sent someone back to get the gift, and they all looked at Helian Qi pitifully, are they satisfied now?

He Lianqi casually picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "It smells so good..." Seeing people staring at him, he asked, "Why don't you drink it?"

Several people shook their heads, not daring to move.

"It's such a pity, Chengcheng, Yanyan, Qingqing, Bibi, Xiaomei, each of you can drink a cup. Xueguo tea, a cup of Baijin, nourishes the beauty and combs the spiritual power in the body, so it can't be wasted." He Lianqi said , drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

"Yes."

One cup for each person, Gululu drink it all, the aroma is overflowing.

The others were dumbfounded, is this really good tea?

Snow fruit tea!A cup of more than a hundred gold?As we all know, the spiritual power in their bodies is more or less impurity, and this tea has the effect of cleansing, even if it is a cup of gold, it is not too much.But the problem is that there are too few resources, and money can't buy them. Usually, if a small package appears, it will be looted.

This time, they were really going to vomit blood.
