Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Lu Yanlin's exaggerated voice came all the way, followed by another wave of noise behind him.

Princess Liyou followed not far away with great fanfare, followed by two maids and two guards.

After a while, both of them were standing in front of Xing Jin. Lord Xing was stunned for a moment, then his smile became even more exaggerated.

"It's my fault for neglecting Her Royal Highness and Lord Lu. Princess, please come this way..."

Xing Jin bowed and apologized all the way, and respectfully welcomed the two into the main hall. Princess Li You sat in the main seat, and Lord Lu sat in the side seat.

Xing Jin stood next to the main seat on the other side, neither stealing the show nor acting too humble.

"Who is this?" As soon as she sat down, Princess Li You turned her head to look at the young man who was standing next to Lord Xing with his head lowered.

Xing Jin frowned. These two people came too quickly and Jiu Mu had no time to retreat. He felt a little embarrassed and a little angry.

"I, Jiumu, pay my respects to Princess Liyou. May your majesty live a thousand years." The young man in a red and blue silk brocade robe knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Feng Xili.

He turned around and knelt before Lu Yanlin. Lord Lu had only nodded symbolically, and then his eyes glanced down inadvertently. The top of his head looked very familiar...

"It seems that this Ninth Young Master is the guest of honor of the new Lord Xing?" Feng Xili glanced at the teacups and snacks on the table behind Xing Jin.

The two men's eyelids jumped, feeling quite embarrassed. She said the word "nine" in a playful way.

Jiu Mu gave her a warning look, and only Feng Xili could understand the ripples in his eyes.

"Jiu Mu is a close friend from my hometown. Upon learning that Bianlu City was in trouble, he came to visit. He disturbed the princess, so I will let him go now."

Xing Jin was anxious to take Jiu Mu away, but a hint of red appeared on his face.

Feng Xili's pupils trembled, and her hands on the armrest tightened. This Xing Jin...

"No problem! The Ninth Young Master came to visit upon learning of the city's troubles. He must be a man who cares deeply about his country and his people. Lord Xing is so lucky."

Princess Liyou smiled faintly, picked up the teacup and smelled it. The tea was good.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Xing Jin's brows, but he just lowered his head and nodded.

"After the porridge distribution ended today, someone came to report that the supplies I brought were almost gone. I heard that Lord Xing was so worried about it that he couldn't even eat or drink."

Feng Xili smiled at him tenderly, staring straight at him, "I was wondering if Lord Xing had come up with a plan. I came here specifically to ask."

Xing Jin frowned. If they ran out of supplies, they could just ask higher-ups for more. Why would they ask him? What a disaster their Bianlu City had been in.

Nowadays, apart from the abundance of people and water, everything else is in short supply.

Feng Xili narrowed her cold eyes, haha!

"Don't worry, Master Xing. I know you've already made your plans. The Zhang family in the city is a rice and flour merchant, the Zhao family is a clothing and cloth merchant, and the Liu family owns several medical clinics..."

Princess Li You, who was sitting in the main seat, talked incessantly, listing all the merchants in the city who had some assets, even those who sold rouge and cosmetics.

"I heard that Lord Xing has lived in Bianlu City with his family for a long time. So, Lord Xing must be very familiar with these merchants, right?"

If Xing Jin didn't know what Feng Xili's intention was at this moment, it would be too deliberate. With a look of surprise on his face, he bent down and saluted her deeply.

"Your Highness the Princess has dedicated herself to the country and its people. This is truly a great honor for my country. I will contact them right away to see if they have any stock."

That's a very euphemistic way of putting it!

"Master Xing, I believe that Bianlu City is your hometown. After this incident, my father intends to support Bianlu to grow into a second city besides Ya'an."

The point has been made, so let's just paint a big picture. However, she was not wrong. Emperor Qi Zhao did want to focus on developing the economy of Bianlu City.

Xing Jin's eyes lit up, political achievements!

He must first secure his position as a doctor in the Water Department. As for the future, he must take it step by step and not rush into anything.

"I am only a small official in the Water Department. I am honored to be recognized by Her Royal Highness the Princess. I will do my utmost to win your favor!"

This guy is really tight-lipped!

Feng Xili secretly rolled her eyes and glanced at Lu Yanlin who was watching the show.

Lord Lu felt a chill on his back and spoke immediately.

"Master Xing, there's no need to be so modest. I'm new to Bianlu City, and I'm not as well connected as you are. Now that the princess has spoken, you must gather the supplies."

Lu Yanlin gave him an ultimatum in a tough manner, with a hint of anger on his face.

Jiu Mu lowered his head, with a smile on his lips. The two of them were in sync, doing the same thing as when he secretly stole the repair money.

He was stealing in secret, but these two were robbing openly.

He was just finding it funny when he suddenly felt a needle-like prick of light piercing his head.

Someone is angry...

He secretly cursed in his heart, Xier shouldn’t have noticed?
