Near noon, the warm winter sun shines unreservedly on the earth.
Nearly ten miles south of Lanyan City, between two small towns, a wealthy and magnificent manor stands on the territory of Lanyan City.
There were carriages entering the manor, and they were all nobles from Lanyan City.
Some carriages even had golden purple flowers embedded in the wheels.
There are four entrances to the manor.
The main entrance faces west.
Two golden goddess statues glow dazzlingly in the sun.
Both stone statues are gold-plated, symbolizing wealth and nobility.
Under the stone statues, carriages file in. ,host People were welcoming him.
He was a man in his 30s.
He had the head of a deer and eyes like a mouse, but he was wearing a brocade robe embroidered with gold.
He was very wealthy.
He was Liu Jun, the man who once wanted to kidnap Qin Yin in Xunlong Forest.
The big dragon head of the dagger gang Several private soldiers in armor stood behind Liu Jun, with long swords on their waists and fierce expressions.
Facing a group of nobles, they looked very stiff even when they smiled.
Perhaps they were more suitable for angry expressions.
"诱辱豱辘" A carriage embroidered with tiger patterns entered the manor under the protection of nearly a hundred guards.
Liu Jun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, with a smile on his face and said: "General Weiyuan, everyone is here at my humble residence.
I am sorry to welcome Liu Jun." " The curtain of the carriage opened, and a military general with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked down.
It was Tang Xiao, the imperial general Weiyuan.
As the descendant of Tang Lan's cousin, Tang Xiao had long been promoted to a high position.
As a second-grade Weiyuan general, he was in Lan.
Yancheng is also very famous.
He is in charge of nearly 30,000 Qihai City troops and is famous far and wide.
"Lord Liu Jun, you're welcome."
Tang Xiao smiled faintly and said: "Since it is Mr.
Liu Jun's birthday, how could we, the Qihai Tang Sect, not come to congratulate you?
It's a pity that His Highness the Qihai King is too busy with official duties, so I, a little Weiyuan General, was asked to come.
I’d like to express my congratulations, come and give Mr.
Liu Jun a birthday gift.”
Several soldiers quickly worked together to carry a huge wooden board and walked over.
The things on the board were covered with red cloth.
Tang Xiao smiled and said: "My lord, don't you take a look at what His Highness the King of the Seven Seas has prepared for you?"
Liu Jun stepped forward with a smile on his face.
After pulling off the red cloth, he was surprised to find that it was a brave man made of gold.
It weighed at least a hundred kilograms and was already valuable in itself.
What's more, the carving was very detailed and lifelike, making its value even more difficult to come by.
After appraising it, Liu Jun smiled from ear to ear for a while: "Your Highness is so polite, how can I tolerate this?"
Tang Xiao laughed loudly: "Why should Mr.
Liu Jun be so polite?
We are in a cooperative relationship.
The King of the Seven Seas has something he wants me to bring to you."
"Oh, what" "Recently, the demons and the Yihe Kingdom are about to make a move, and the life and death of the empire is at stake.
Therefore, His Highness has decided to expand the army and recruit warriors from the province.
This will require more food, weapons, military pay and other materials.

Therefore, His Highness Nanami King has decided that we All the restaurants, gambling houses, workshops, etc. that the Tang family cooperates with will have their commissions increased by 10%.
I hope that Sir Liu Jun will put the overall interests of the country first."
"this" "Why, can't you?"
Tang Xiao asked with a smile, squinting his eyes.
"Okay, of course, His Highness the Seven Seas King has spoken.
It's a trivial matter.
Please ask the general to repay His Highness.
The extra 10% of income will be sent to the Seven Seas King's Mansion starting from this month.
Please rest assured, His Highness."
"Okay."
Tang Xiao patted Liu Jun on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Your Excellency is far-sighted and will definitely have great potential in the future.
Then I'll go in and drink your birthday wine first."
“Please come in please come in” Looking at Tang Xiao's back, Liu Jun couldn't help but clenched his fists, his face was livid, and he whispered: "These vampires, it's hard to do business in the first place, but they actually increased their commissions, ugh" A leader of the private army behind him said: "Boss, there is nothing we can do about this.
How can we not bow our heads under the low eaves?
Half of Lanyan City is under the control of the Tang family.
The Tang family will not protect us.
I'm afraid that more than half of our stores will not be able to open at all, so this 10% of the income will be used to satisfy the appetite of the King of Hell. " "Well, that's all we can do."
Liu Jun gritted his teeth and asked, "Are all the people from the Sixth Department here?"
"People from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Punishment are all here.
Basically, they are all minister-level officials who are here to wish you a birthday, boss.
However, the people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are still missing."
"Xue Ling, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, selected three maids from us as concubines last month.
Don't worry, he is eaten to death by us.
There is no way he will not come."
"Hey, boss Yingming" Within a few minutes, the neighing of war horses came from outside the manor.
The people from the Ministry of War had indeed arrived, and nearly two hundred people came.
The first person wearing a battle armor was Xue Ling, the Minister of the Ministry of War.
He actually came to wish his birthday in person and gave him a lot of money.
Save face
Liu Jun hurriedly stepped forward, clasped his fists and laughed loudly: "Master Shangshu has come to make the humble house shine.
It is really a great honor for me, Liu Jun.
Please come in, please come in."
Xue Ling held on to the reins without dismounting.
She rode her horse and led her entourage into the manor.
When she passed by Liu Jun, she turned to look at him and smiled: "Boss Liu is so grand.
I'm afraid such a birthday banquet is enough."
A birthday comparable to the etiquette of a prince."
"Ah ha, what are you saying, Master Shangshu?
Please come inside, please come inside."
Watching Xue Ling go away, Liu Jun's face became even more ugly.
The leader of the private army behind him said angrily: "What an arrogant Xue Ling, but he didn't dismount at all, and he didn't take us seriously at all."
Liu Jun turned around and looked at him coldly: "He is the Minister of War, holding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.
We are the underground gangsters in Lanyan City.
Why should he take us seriously?
We are businessmen."

People, be friendly and get rich, don’t compete with others for temporary favor.”
"Yes, I understand."
Liu Jun turned around and looked at the road outside the manor, and said: "People from the Ministry of Industry probably won't come, and I don't have much friendship with Ouyang He, the minister of the Ministry of Industry."
"The time is coming soon, boss, let's go into the hall and prepare the birthday etiquette.
Don't keep the guests waiting."
"Okay, let's go."
The main courtyard of the manor is no less luxurious than the Zetian Palace.
The huge pillars are carved with unicorn patterns, and each of them is engraved with simple patterns.
The patterns are sparkling.
Many guests came closer and discovered that those They are all valuable gems of various colors inlaid on stone pillars.
The copper dagger gang is so wealthy that it can be worth half of the province.
The main hall is very spacious.
Girls wearing vaguely veiled skirts are walking through the crowd holding fruit plates, wine, etc.
These girls are at least of average appearance.
The Bronze Dagger Gang made a fortune by selling people, so there is no shortage of beauties.
The Qin Empire The fertile soil of thousands of miles has given birth to many beautiful women of heaven and earth, but now they are gathered in a place like this, wearing revealing clothes, allowing guests to take advantage of them without daring to resist at all.
Liu Jun walked up to the main hall slowly, holding a wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please be quiet."
The master spoke, and everyone calmed down from the noise.
Liu Jun continued: "I would like to sincerely thank you all for coming to attend my birthday, Liu Jun, despite your busy schedule.
As a thank you, each of the guests who enter the auditorium today can choose one of the maids around you to take away."
Suddenly, there was a burst of joy in the venue.
Many guests had long been salivating at the maid beside them.
Now Liu Jun said such words, it was simply too extravagant.
As a result, many people have begun to compete for the maids around them.
The banquet began and everyone sat down.
Xue Ling, the Minister of War, Tang Xiao, the general of Weiyuan, Su Long, the leader of the Su family, and others were all arranged at the table.
Liu Jun personally accompanied them.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone's face became pale.
Got drunk.
At this moment, a member of the Tiger Head with a copper dagger on his waist walked in, and Liu Jun said in his ear: "Long Tou, something bad is going on.
There are traces of the Imperial Army on the road, all cavalry, four in the east, west, north and south of the manor."
There are people in every direction” "What" Liu Jun trembled: "Which army is it?
Don't they know that all the ministers of the Ministry of War are here?"
"It's Lin Muyu's Gentian Legion."
"How many people are here?"
"Countless."
The face of this tiger-level Bronze Dagger Gang member was ashen as he said, "Boss, do you want to use our private army to protect the manor?
We can raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a short time."
"Protect the manor" Liu Jun sneered: "Are you going to let that ragtag group of people resist the regular army of the empire?"
"What should I do?"
"Let me think about it."
Liu Jun looked at the people at the banquet, suddenly raised his fists, and said: "My lords and generals, I have a gracious request."
"Oh" Xue Ling smiled slightly: "Boss Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Liu Jun said: "One of the regiments stationed in Lanyan City, the Gentian Legion is approaching the villain's manor.
The visitor is not malicious.

The villain is a serious businessman.
If Commander Ruoyu creates any difficulties, please make the decision for the villain. " "Lin Muyu is here" Xue Ling gritted her teeth and said, "We'll see what he says when he comes later.
Boss Liu, don't panic."
"Yes, thank you, Lord Shangshu."
Tang Xiao, Su Long and others also stood up one after another.
When they heard that Lin Muyu had come with Gentian Camp, the group of people suddenly sobered up a lot from their drunkenness.
The heavy and intensive sound of horse hooves was heard outside the manor hall.
Soon after, the sound of footsteps stepping on marble was heard.
A group of Gentian Legion generals in military uniforms came in with dense soldiers.
Lin Muyu was wearing a white robe and armor.
Walking at the front, followed by Tang Xiaoxi, Wei Chou, Situ Sen, Situ Xue and others, followed by a group of soldiers holding long bows, their white diamond arrows glowing with a frightening cold light in the sun.
Liu Jun rushed forward without even seeing the person, knelt on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: "Young man Liu Jun, I see Commander Yu, I don't know why Commander Yu came to the humble house with his heavy troops today."
"You raise your head first and look at me."
Lin Muyu's voice was indescribably calm.
Liu Jun raised his head, and the more he looked at this boy, the more familiar he seemed, and murmured: "You are, you are."
"Have you forgotten Du Yiming and the girl you wanted to faint in the middle of the night?
Have you forgotten everything about Chapter 223?"
"you" Liu Jun rolled back on the marble as if he had seen a ghost, and said: "How could it be you?
How could it be you?"
