Anyway, it was not the materials needed for the army's campaign. It was not extremely urgent and could not be delayed. So Xiao Cheng asked Shen Wansan and the Za family to come forward and gather merchants from the country to transport them. The court would then allocate the banknotes, which would save time.

Save effort.

"Five more days?"

Xiao Cheng's eyes moved and he asked again:

"What about Zhang Yi who is going to Jinling City in Xia Kingdom?"

"The news was sent back half a month ago. Chief Zhang Yi threatened him with words in the Xia court, which made the Xia Emperor and all the Xia ministers feel deeply frightened. They could only bow their heads and agree, and sent envoys to come with letters of credence.

The mission will return and head upstream to Jiangzhou City, they should be there soon."

Although it felt a little humiliating to take the initiative to submit the credential for armistice, it was not a credential for ceding territory and begging for peace.

Xia Emperor Yu Zhaoling had a strong temper and was unwilling to accept it. However, Zhang Yi threatened to send troops again and asked the Xia courtiers to take the initiative to persuade Yu Zhaoling. In the end, he could only hold his nose and admit it and sent an envoy.

When Xiao Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile, nodded and said:

"This instrument is quite interesting!"

Feng Bao saw Xiao Cheng smiling at this time, but he couldn't help but said:

"Your Majesty, this armistice document is dispensable. Your Majesty, why do you insist on forcing Xia Guo to submit it voluntarily?"

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng chuckled lightly and said:

"It is indeed a dispensable thing. If used well, it can still make some people completely give up on the Xia Kingdom's court!"

When Feng Bao heard this, his eyes blinked, showing a thoughtful look.

——

At this time, outside the Jiangzhou City government prison.

A police officer walked out of the cell, looked around for a few times, and after making sure no one was following him, he carefully walked into the dark alley aside. After a long time, the police officer walked out with a bulging bag in his arms and a happy face.

After a while, a group of middle-aged people dressed in Jianghu walked out of the dark alley with normal expressions, merged into the crowd on the street, and wandered around Jiangzhou City for a long time before arriving.

In a secret courtyard.

"It turned out that the nephews of each family, as well as some Jianghu rangers who participated in the assassination, were all imprisoned in the Yamen cells. The bribed jailer said that except for those who resisted and were killed during the arrest, the rest were imprisoned in the prison cells.

Inside, he was not killed or tortured."

In the courtyard, seven or eight old and middle-aged people with deep and solemn auras and solemn faces gathered here.

After hearing the words of the middle-aged man who went to investigate, one of the old men suddenly relaxed, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said:

"Even though my grandson was caught... it's okay, it's okay. This Emperor Yun must have been concerned about the people in our martial arts community in Jiangzhou County, so he spared our nephew's life."

"Yes, I am afraid that even Emperor Yun himself felt that the killing was too much that day, lest the brutal image be known to the people and lose the hearts of the people of Jiangzhou County. You see, since he came to Jiangzhou City more than a month ago,

, but he has been giving kindness to the people to make up for it."

"If that's the case, we might be able to work it out to get the children and nephews of each family out without forcing their way into the prison..."

The people in the martial arts community in Jiangzhou County who were present, because their nephews had been killed or captured, had all shared the same hatred before. They decided to work together and tried their best to rescue their nephews, and then set out to take revenge on Emperor Yun and the Yun Kingdom court.

.

But when he learned that his nephew was not dead, but was imprisoned in a cell, he suddenly had strange thoughts.

Hearing these words, some of them turned pale.

Then I heard someone snort and say disdainfully:

"Hmph, the assassination on the Yuanjiang River more than a month ago has now spread throughout the world. Two land masters of the Immortal Realm, a dozen elites of hundreds of schools, and ninth-level masters were all treated like pigs and dogs by Emperor Yun, and they were all slaughtered.

Ask yourselves, Emperor Yun is not afraid of offending hundreds of schools of thought in the world, how could he still be afraid of our martial arts community in Jiangzhou County?"

"Why should we care about the public sentiment of Jiangzhou County? Those people are all vulgar people who forget their loyalty and have no heart for their country. Emperor Yun decreed that the fields from the homes of so many loyal people were confiscated and distributed to those who had no family.

The public opinion about the unruly people in the fields suddenly changed."

"That is, in addition to this, Emperor Yun also pretended to re-scale tax exemptions, build water conservancy projects, and establish academies, which deceived many ignorant people. Now, no matter how many loyal people he kills, there are still people who stand by him.

Come out and shout!"

These people, the so-called loyal people, are naturally the local gentry and wealthy people who have been found to be secretly colluding with the Xia Kingdom.

"If Emperor Yun doesn't kill the nephews of each family, I'm afraid he has other desires! If he threatens and forces me to do this, it's better to rescue him directly and save him from being accused of betraying his family and country!"

"Yes, that makes sense!"

"That's the truth. Anyway, we are familiar with the prison guards. When the time comes, we can directly rescue the nephews of each family and avoid being threatened by Emperor Yun!"
