C294 Contention

Jiang Xiaobai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This old fellow actually had a young heart.

The reason why Jiang Xiaobai brought Li Ming to the North Tower was because he had a unique perspective.

Anything that was near the Portal of Space-time was more convenient to settle.

It was always in the Sect Leader's hands that he took the initiative to advance, to attack, to retreat, to defend.

It was just three people on the sixth floor. Jiang Xiaobai was the Sect Leader and Master Bu was the deputy sect leader.

As for Chang Zilong, Jiang Xiaobai also wanted him to become a Sect Leader.

Since the negotiations had come to an end, everyone should sit down and drink. When the negotiations broke down, Jiang Xiaobai could just bring two people along.

As for danger, it was practically non-existent. Such a tall building, such a narrow space, even if there were thousands of soldiers and horses, they would still not be able to use it.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaobai and Master Bu still had two guns.

"Master Bu, in this time and space, even if you kill someone, you have to pay with your life!" Jiang Xiaobai pushed Master Bu back and then stood at the doorway, smiling as he looked down.

Li Ming tumbled down the stairs, and immediately, a few people caught him.

"Master, are you hurt?"

"Master, leave now! Leave this place to us!"

"Lord, thieves are truly hateful, we will cut them into minced meat!"

Li Ming was not very familiar with the sixth floor, but he still maintained a calm face and did not say a word.

"Master, do not panic, my General has personally brought out three hundred elite soldiers, and has surrounded the North Tower to the point where not even a drop of water can leak out, the thieves cannot escape!" A leader of the troops cupped his fists and said, "General is downstairs. Please come down, Lord Zhizhou."

Another person asked: "Lord Zhizhou, how many thieves are there upstairs? What weapon are they holding?"

Li Ming finally spat out a sentence: "The General Li is here?"

"When the General Li heard that the Lord Zhizhou was kidnapped by bandits, they immediately rushed over on their horses. They did not waste even a moment!"

"Can Forbidden Army enter the city at will?" Li Ming's voice became more serious.

"Lord?" The surrounding Forbidden Army all revealed a perplexed expression.

According to the Great Song's rules, Forbidden Army could only be stationed outside the city, and could not be entered unless it was a rebellion.

As for the security in the city, it was naturally handled by the local yamen runners. The gate guards were also the local garrison.

Even if the city was in chaos and the local army couldn't crush them, the highest officials would order them to march into the city.

"Master, the situation is critical, General Li was worried about Master's consolation, and so …"

This old man has come to the North Tower to drink. Li Ming subconsciously touched the bag that was filled with glass balls, and said: "Hurry and retreat, don't disturb the customers here!"

"Milord, this …" The soldiers were confused.

"Could it be …" Someone looked towards the sixth floor, believing that Jiang Xiaobai, who was standing above, was a threat to Li Ming, he immediately stepped forward and stood behind Li Ming and said: "Master, with us here, I can guarantee that you will be safe, the thieves …."

"How dare you!" Li Ming raised his hand and slapped his face, and shouted: "Only my close friends are up there, where did this thief come from? "Go down, or else I will punish you for trespassing in the city gates!"

It didn't seem like he was being threatened. Did he make a mistake?

The surrounding Jin Soldier looked at each other in dismay, and was even more shocked by Li Ming's words of "entry into the city", as they all retreated downstairs.

Li Ming turned, and cupped his fists towards Jiang Xiaobai: "Master Bao, a while later, I will go and meet with General Li, and then return!"

With that, Li Ming tidied up his clothes and the black muslin hat, took a few big steps, and then headed downstairs.

However, his legs were still weak and he almost fell down again on the third step.

"Damn, is that all?" The Master Bu stretched out his neck and lamented: "Compared to the officials of our era, there is a difference of a bit. If we go down with a pile of money, there is nothing that doesn't faint."

"The world is as black as a crow, it's the same throughout the ages both at home and abroad!" Jiang Xiaobai rubbed his hands together and closed the door.

"Master Bao, I don't think it's necessarily what you think." Chang Zilong said: "This Li Ming is very cunning, he should have some other reason."

Jiang Xiaobai asked: "Tell me about it?"

Chang Zilong said, "Actually, recently, the conflict between Li Ming and General Li Anguo outside the city has grown deeper and deeper. He wants to take this opportunity to strike General Li."

had indeed scolded the Forbidden Army loudly earlier. Could it be that there was really a conflict between them?

Chang Zilong said: "It's already been half a year since the Forbidden Army were stationed in the south of the Baozhou City, and since humans feed horses, the daily expenses are always a large amount. The savings in the Baozhou City have almost all been completely used up, and Li Ming had long wanted to drive them away."

Jiang Xiaobai asked curiously: "The army's transfer is a national affair, what can he do about it?"

"Although the two of them do not belong to one another, governor Li still wants to have his own achievements and work in peace." Chang Zilong said: "Since the arrival of the Forbidden Army, the area of thirty kilometers south of the city has become the domain of the Forbidden Army.

According to Chang Zilong, there was one more important thing that Li Ming was unsatisfied with — Evading the war!

With the fall of Yi Zhou City, naturally, it was the appearance of the Forbidden Army to recuperate. The moment the news came, Li Ming had also requested for Li Anguo to send an army.

In the end, Li Anguo used the reason that the ones who occupied Yi Zhou City were a group of bandits, and thought that it should be attributed to the bandits who were wreaking havoc within the borders. It was only right for the local army to step in, so he didn't use his Forbidden Army.

In the end, Li Ming decided to let Chang Zilong lead the Xiang Army to battle.

Jiang Xiaobai laughed: So it wasn't you who took the initiative to submit, was it?

"I was the one who took the initiative. I really wanted to fight, but there was no other way." Chang Zilong sighed, and said: "Li Ming can't care about Li Anguo, but you can kill my head. A hat that resists orders to avoid battle, I don't even have a hundred jin of it left. "

"In that case, this Li Ming is really an old cunning fox." Master Bu laughed: "This time, whether you win or lose, in terms of Yi Zhou, is an opportunity for Li Ming. If he won, it would be a great merit for him, and he could even slap Li Anguo in the face. If he fails, he could enter Li Anguo's game, saying that he is passively hiding from battle, and adding the fact that he entered the city on his own today as a commander-in-chief, it might actually be possible to drive him out of the Bao Zhou. "

It was beneficial to him, and even brought him so many benefits. No wonder Li Ming was willing to cooperate.

Jiang Xiaobai was speechless in his heart. He had just been on a whim, and wanted to borrow the Portal of Space-time's power to play with Li Ming.

"Master Bao, Master Bu, right now … Can you tell me who you are? " Suddenly, Chang Zilong formed a fist with his hands, bowed to Jiang Xiaobai and Master Bu, and said: "You are no ordinary people, and are not related to my Chang Clan, how can you help me?"

"The two of us …" Jiang Xiaobai glanced at Master Bu, and was prepared to reveal the Portal of Space-time's secret.

"Soaring …" Suddenly, a series of heavy footsteps came over: "What wealthy merchant from the south, General Ben sees him as a galloping horse!"
