When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

They are also afraid of being uprooted, and now they may not trust anyone.

Ye Qingfeng pondered for a moment and agreed to take him to see Manager Shang.

When he stepped into the office of this tycoon again, Manager Shang was no longer dressed like a nouveau riche. He wore a royal blue suit and no longer had those exaggerated rings on his hands.

She had a brown wooden hairpin on her hair, which made her look very neat and capable.

He had a smile on his face as he listened to Ye Qingfeng talking about the situation of the army in front of the door. He didn't look nervous at all, as if he didn't care about the army at the door at all.

King Dongshan could not tell anything from his face, and he was in no mood to beat around the bush with him, so he spoke directly:

“Manager Shang, I dispatched the troops at the door to capture the private army, the ones who attacked Panlong Mountain. They are hiding deep in the mountains of Panlong Mountain.

The court has no ill will towards the store you run here. Ye Qingfeng and I are still very good friends. If we have anything to say, we can talk directly to each other."

Shopkeeper Shang looked at Ye Qingfeng and saw him nod. He asked casually:

"Is your boss still not fully recovered?" He was actually concerned about Wei Dong first.

Ye Qingfeng told the truth: "Manager Wei is now being taken care of by Xie Jiu. I haven't visited him today."

Shopkeeper Shang choked and said, "How can you, shopkeeper, be so confident in leaving the care of things to outsiders?"

His gaze returned to Xie Jiu. Ye Qingfeng trusted him so much that he dared to entrust Wei Dong to his care. Doesn't it mean that their relationship is really close?

Shopkeeper Shang hesitated for a moment and asked:

"So what you mean is..." What do you want to do?

King Dongshan spoke frankly.

"If Panlong Mountain needs them, I will keep them here to look after the safety here. If you don't need them, I will send them away."

Shopkeeper Shang raised his eyebrows and thought: Is it that simple? Why doesn't he believe it?

King Dongshan continued, "The court is concerned about the origins of the private soldiers, so they will inevitably come here to investigate, but they will not interfere with the business here.

As long as you don't get involved in the private soldiers' rebellion, you won't be in trouble."

Shopkeeper Shang said seriously:

"You can see that we are incompatible with the private soldiers. How can we possibly get involved in their affairs? We are just merchants and businessmen."

Treason? You can't get involved in it, it will kill you.

Manager Shang: "At the foot of the mountain, there are still those people we killed when we were fighting against the private soldiers. Their bodies are still there! How could we have anything to do with them?"

Even if there is a relationship, it is still a hostile relationship!

King Dongshan nodded. He had seen it with his own eyes and believed it without any explanation.

He said: "Then what do you think, Manager Shang, are there only so many private soldiers at present, or are there still hidden troops outside?"

Shopkeeper Shang thought for a moment before saying, "There should be more, but I'm just guessing and I don't have any basis for it."

King Dongshan said: "I think so too. They have made such a big move on Panlong Mountain, they must have coveted it for a long time, and they will not give up attacking here easily.

Then the troops I have brought in will be useful.”

Shopkeeper Shang said modestly: "The army's suppression of bandits is a major matter for the imperial court. We small merchants dare not interfere!"

Haha! You little businessman, have you ever seen a businessman with such great abilities?

King Dongshan said in a good-tempered tone: "It's not just a matter of the court. No matter what, those private armies are going to attack your Panlong Mountain!

Only if we cooperate with each other can we catch them all in one fell swoop, and Panlong Mountain will have no worries in the future, don’t you think?"

Shopkeeper Shang smiled and responded:

"Of course, as long as the army can maintain strict discipline and not harm our merchants, we will naturally cooperate with them."

But is it possible?

The military and bandits are inseparable, and sometimes the military is even more brutal than bandits.

King Dongshan knew what they were worried about, so he assured them:

"Don't worry about this matter. I know the combat capability of Panlong Mountain. If someone in the army plots something bad, I think you won't be the ones to suffer."

Shopkeeper Shang restrained his smile and said seriously: "How dare we clash with the regular army?" Don't slander them,

They were beating up thieves.

King Dongshan said with a smile: "I will also explain the pros and cons to the officers leading the team, and will not disturb the people."

Ye Qingfeng interrupted and said, "If you are afraid of a conflict between the two sides, why not station the army on the west side of the mountain? It just so happens that the wall there hasn't been built yet."

Manager Shang nodded in agreement, and King Dongshan also thought it was feasible. Although it was used as a temporary wall, it was indeed convenient to do things there and easy to hide troops.

The two sides reached an agreement that the army would pass through the main street and be stationed at the foot of the West Mountain. Soldiers were not allowed to enter the commercial area at will.

The suspension bridge at the gate of Panlong Mountain was slowly lowered, and the secret guard brought the prince's military order to General Fan.

Although the troops looked curiously at the shops on both sides when passing through the road, no one left the team to harass the local residents.

The doors of all shops were closed, and many people saw the army coming in through the cracks in the windows. Seeing that they were well-behaved, no one bothered to provoke them.

Zhou Zhen led the way to the foot of the West Mountain and told them where to get water, and then retreated back.

These troops came on a forced march, without any baggage. They only brought dry food with them, which had been almost consumed by the time they reached Panlong Mountain.

General Fan took off his armor, put on his regular clothes, and went to the residence of King Dongshan with his secret guards. When he saw that the person sitting on the seat was really King Dongshan, he immediately knelt on one knee.

"I am here to see King Dongshan."

King Dongshan raised his hand and said, "Get up. General Fan has made a long journey."

General Fan stood up, clasped his hands together, bowed his head and saluted again, and asked:

“Your Highness, I wonder if you have dispatched me here this time to suppress the bandits or…” The secret guard held the token and mobilized the troops, saying only that Your Highness was in danger and was surrounded by many bandits.

He was so frightened that his intestines nearly broke along the way. He did not dare to waste any time and marched quickly.

When I got here, I saw that it didn't seem like that.

King Dongshan explained to him:

"Don't worry, General Fan. I've already sent a letter to my brother. Not long ago, I found a lot of private armies here. They attacked Panlong Mountain, but were defeated by the merchants and guards here.

Many people hid in the mountains.

I also suspect there is a private army camp in the mountains, so I'd like to trouble General Fan to send someone to search for them. If you can find them, it will be a great achievement for you!"

General Fan's eyes lit up. Now that there was no war, it was not easy to gain military merit.

With the support of King Dongshan, he must seize this opportunity and make great military achievements, which will give him a chance for promotion!

He quickly clasped his fists and said, "I will obey your orders, Your Majesty!" After saying this, he spoke again with a difficult expression.

"Your Majesty, we came here in a hurry and didn't bring any baggage with us. What shall we do if we don't have any food or fodder?"
