C292 Officer is not fat

The moment Jiang Xiaobai had grabbed him by the neck, Li Ming had become completely limp, and his body kept sliding downwards. If not for Jiang Xiaobai's arm supporting him, he would have been dead by now.

"Good man, let's talk this out!" Li Ming said with a sobbing tone of voice, "Hijacking an official of the imperial government is a capital offense!"

"As long as you don't say anything, who can say that you were kidnapped?" Jiang Xiaobai added some strength into his right hand and shouted: "Smile, smile, don't let them follow!"

Li Ming forced a smile that was uglier than suffering, and said to the yamen runners: "You guys …. Don't follow me, this official … This official will go to North Tower to attend the banquet! "

The constables had long seen that Li Ming had been kidnapped.

However, Jiang Xiaobai kept grabbing onto Li Ming's neck from beginning to end, and no one dared to act rashly.

Don't look at how this person was unarmed. He had knocked over seven or eight people just now. If he were to break a neck, wouldn't it be as simple as breaking a cucumber?

Since they did not dare to save anyone and could not pretend that nothing had happened, the yamen runners could only follow them from afar.

Jiang Xiaobai and Li Ming were walking at the front with arms wrapped around each other, as if they were good friends that had not seen each other for many years. The forty to fifty yamen runners followed behind them, walking more than twenty meters away with nervous expressions, as if they were about to face a great enemy.

At first, Chang Zilong was shocked and terrified, but he quickly calmed himself down and limped over to support Li Ming on the right side. "Lord Li, walk carefully, be careful of the hole in front of you."

Li Ming was about to cry, "Master Chang, you … Why do you have to go through so much trouble!? "

"I have to lead the troops, but my butt is blooming like a flower. There's nothing I can do about it!" Chang Zilong looked miserable.

"Master Chang, I have no other choice. It has already been three days since my Yi Zhou City was occupied by bandits. If I don't hurry up and take it back, and if the imperial government blames me, I won't be able to take the blame! " Li Ming frowned and said: "You saw it too, the person in the main hall entered the army camp for him. I did it for him, but it actually hit you, it hurts in my heart!"

Chang Zilong said indignantly: "We entered the army camp and have eight thousand elites stationed here for more than half a year yet they let me bring the Xiang Army to recover the lost land. How could they have the nerve to send someone to supervise and urge us?"

"Master Chang, you should know that Forbidden Army is used to resist external enemies. As for protecting one's country, that can only be our Xiang Army!" Li Ming said with a worried look on his face, "Moreover, the position of the Yi Zhou City is special, so General Li's considerations are reasonable. If our Jin Kingdom is not satisfied, we won't be able to eat! "

"The soldiers of the Great Song are in the land of the Great Song, what do you want, can the Jin Kingdom control it?"

"Lord Chang mustn't speak like that. You must know that Song Jin is an ally!"

"The Allies still refuse to give it to us despite dominating several states?"

As the two of them walked along, arguing with each other, Jiang Xiaobai listened from the side.

Very quickly, a group of people arrived at the North Tower.

The shopkeeper came out from afar and said with a face full of smiles: "Aiya, Lord Li, Master Chang, Master Bao, please come in!"

Even though he said that, the shopkeeper's face was full of question marks.

governor was a regular customer of this place, but they had never been brought here before. What was going on with those constables following behind them?

Jiang Xiaobai laughed: "Shopkeeper, today, I will treat you to dinner. Sixth floor. If you have anything good here, just give it to me! "

"Sixth floor?" Chang Zilong trembled.

Although Cantonment Camp were poor, Chang Zilong still had some assets and family members. He had come to North Tower before and knew how expensive the food on the sixth floor was.

Eating a meal there was enough to bring several tens of carts of food to the Cantonment Camp.

Jiang Xiaobai did not explain either, continuing to carry Li Ming forward.

Li Ming's heart was filled with fear, and he almost couldn't move his legs. Basically, he had been carried upstairs by Jiang Xiaobai.

When he arrived at the fifth floor, he heard the sound of bamboo coming from the sixth floor. Some girls were singing while others were laughing coquettishly.

Upstairs, when they opened the door, even Jiang Xiaobai could not help but laugh.

It had only been twenty odd minutes since Master Bu got used to this environment. Not only did he shake his cheeks and drink, he even started to enjoy beauties.

A beauty was playing the zither, a beauty was playing the flute, and two beauties were dancing.

Moreover, two more beauties appeared. One sat on Master Bu's lap, using her small mouth to feed Master Bu wine while the other stood behind Master Bu and rubbed his neck and shoulders. He was extremely happy.

"Aiyo, Master Bao is here? And two officials have come! " Master Bu laughed out loud, stood up and cupped his hands: "Sit down, sit down! Someone, take away all these leftovers and serve us the best table! "

The strongest one last week was at least one hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver, and looking at the Master Bu's display, it would probably be dozens of taels of silver.

"Broken soup and leftovers?" The flesh on Chang Zilong's face trembled.

Twenty to thirty dishes, almost untouched. How could there be only leftovers?

If these dishes were sent to Cantonment Camp, it would be enough to cause a huge commotion.

"Everyone, let me introduce you!" Jiang Xiaobai said: "This is Master Bu, a merchant from Jiangnan, a good friend of mine. This is Lord Li, the parent official of the Bao Zhou. This is Duyu Lord Chang from the Cantonment Camp, and he is also my friend! "

"Friends?" Master Bu and Chang Zilong looked at each other and saluted.

Only Li Ming was the most embarrassed. He cupped his hands and did not know what to say.

"Lord Li is a governor? It's the first time in my life that I've seen a living state official! " Master Bu could tell at a glance which one was the enemy and which was the friend. He cupped his hands in an exaggerated manner, then circled around Li Ming and said while shaking his head, "Bai Jing is fair, but not fat at all!"

Jiang Xiaobai did not know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Who told you that all the state officials are fat people?"

"Didn't the book say that their brains are full of fat?" After saying that, Master Bu smacked his lips, showing a disappointed expression.

Master Bu's words were too scary, what live fat, was he going to eat it?

Li Ming was so scared that his face turned white, and he said while trembling: "Masters, this humble official …"

Jiang Xiaobai could not watch any longer, and immediately helped Li Ming to sit down, and said: "Lord Li, do not be afraid, we invited you over, and it was to discuss how to attack Yi Zhou City."

Li Ming said with a sullen face: "Everyone, please follow my orders, I will follow it."

"Really?" Chang Zilong's eyes lit up, and he asked: Lord Li, you agreed to the starting fee?

Li Ming said: "Allow me three days, I will definitely complete the preparation for the starting fee."

"Three days? "But you want me to start today?"

"Lord Chang, you should know the situation of the magistrate court." Li Ming pleaded, "Ever since our Forbidden Army have been stationed here, we have been using our Baozhou City to support us. The granary is almost empty. Three thousand silver taels is not a small sum.

Master Bu asked curiously: "For a great Bao Zhou palace, you can't even take out three thousand silver?"

Li Ming laughed bitterly: "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed!"

Master Bu asked again: "With three thousand silver taels, we can send an army out to war?"

Jiang Xiaobai laughed: "This is the starting fee. Only with money will we be willing to send our soldiers out."

"Tch!" Master Bu laughed coldly and said: "You, governor, don't do it. Let me do it, because I can give you three thousand silvers!"
