Jin Yong was genuinely surprised when he heard this: "What? Government troops? Are they from the county government?"

He knew that Zhou had reported the case and that she had placed her suspicions on him. However, he never expected that the people from the county government would be able to find Xia Yujiao so quickly.

How could someone as quiet and silent as Xia Yujiao end up in the hands of those ferocious county officials? If they weren't officials, but some other kind of government troops, she'd be in even worse trouble...

Jin Yong suddenly became anxious when he thought about it. He couldn't help but stand up and slammed the teacup.

"What should we do? If Xia falls into their hands, I'm afraid she won't survive!"

Xiao Lubuhua felt even more uncomfortable. This Jin Yong! He had exposed such a big thing as the secret room to him, and he was only concerned about that little girl!

However, I will have to use him again in the future, so I can't be angry now.

Xiao Lubuhua suppressed his anger, but his expression was not very good.

"If it were just the few idiots in the county office, how could they have snatched him from me? I've already got Huazhi County well-trained. Even in Beiguan County, there aren't many experts.

This wave of people came, but they were all tough guys, with extraordinary skills, well-trained, knowing how to advance and retreat, and cooperating well. They caused the death of two of my men and seriously injured three.

Brother Jin, I'm worried that our business might be an eyesore to someone! Perhaps kidnapping someone from us is just a warning.

Jin Yong was completely confused. Why was it that his brother was talking in such a way that he couldn't understand him?

I know the real story behind my brother's caravans. Isn't it customs evasion, smuggling, and tax evasion? Which of those well-connected and capable families hasn't been involved in this kind of business?

It's just some minor fights, who can it bother?

Seeing Jin Yong's bewildered face, and even a bit of indignation, Xiao Lubuhua sighed:

"If it were an ordinary person, I wouldn't be afraid of that.

But judging by my family members who escaped with their lives, those soldiers who abducted my brothers and sisters were probably from the capital."

Jin Yong looked arrogant and slammed the table, angrily saying, "So what if I'm from the capital?"

Xiao Lubuhua raised his fan and hit Jin Yong on the head: "I told you you were fat and you're still panting!"

She moved closer, bent down, lowered her head, put her mouth close to Jin Yong's ear, and whispered:

"Song Lao San said that those troublesome people who came here were all from Jinyi Yunqi. This group of people is probably coming for your brother!

Brother, you are the one who got what I deserve! To put it another way, I am the one who is sorry for you! "m

Upon hearing this, Jin Yong stumbled back two steps:

"Brother, when did you offend Jinyi Yunqi? Was it because of our business?"

Xiao Lubuhua's eyes darkened, and he thought to himself, it's too late to distance himself from this matter now! But he said with a wry smile:

"How can I have any say in this matter?

Our trade involves war horses and ironware. If they don't let us in, and we don't let us out, we're in trouble on both sides. But if we don't do this kind of business, how can we make so much profit? Not to mention everything else, just the customs and passes we have to pass along the way, how much money do we have to pay out?

Brother Jin, we are brothers and we often drink and have fun together.

But now that my brother has been targeted by Jinyi Yunqi, I'm afraid I can no longer play with you. I can't let you get involved because of my brother's affairs!

But the lady from the Xia family whom you love has fallen into the hands of Jinyi Yunqi, and your brother is powerless to do anything!

I can only give you an extra good one as compensation.

If any of the girls in Tianxiang Tower takes your fancy, I will redeem her and send her to your house.

If you despise these whores and only love decent women, I will send someone to Jiangnan to buy them!"

Jin Yong also smiled bitterly:

"Brother, to be honest with you, I don't know what's so special about Xia. But ever since I met her, my soul has been with her. I can't live without her!"

Xiao Lubuhua was a little disapproving, but she didn't want Jin Yong to see through it. Jin Yong continued:

"Brother, don't disbelieve me.

The pair of sisters you booked for your brother to stay at Tianxianglou for a month last time were both beautiful and well-mannered. They were also very good at serving others. They were truly a pair of stunning beauties.

These two sisters made my back and legs so sore that I almost couldn't leave Tianxiang Tower.

But after what happened to them, I left them and hardly thought about them.

Whenever someone talks about women, or about getting married, I can't help but think of Xia.

Xiao Lu Buhua said:

"Alas... this is probably the only way! Brother, no matter what the Jinyi Yunqi's reason is, they will release your little wife sooner or later.

Jinyi Yunqi is from the capital after all, and will return sooner or later. You just need to keep an eye on her stubborn family.

The two of them chatted about this and that for about half an hour, following Xia Yujiao's lead. Xiao Lubuhua finally lost his patience with the beating around the bush and simply revealed his cards to Jin Yong:

"If it were just a routine incident, it would be fine. Even if they are greedy, I can still cover it up this time even if I have to work for nothing this year.

Firstly, I'm worried their appetites will grow, turning them into a bottomless pit that no amount of silver can fill. Secondly, these Jinyi Yunqi are not quick to act, and now that they've intervened, the advice of others won't matter. We either have to give up these caravans or this city."

Finally, the truth is revealed!

It turns out that what Jia Shiqilang had in mind was actually this city!

He even had the nerve to say that others were greedy. He was in control of almost all of Huazhi County, and yet he still felt it was not enough!

I don't know when he first set his sights on this city...

"Brother Jin?"

Seeing Jin Yong's stunned look, Xiao Lubuhua reminded him dissatisfiedly:

"Brother Jin, what are your rules?"

Jin Yong wailed inwardly, knowing that no matter how much he tried to evade the situation, he would not be able to escape it. He nodded vigorously, putting on an impassioned expression:

"I always listen to my brother! If my brother tells me to go east, I won't go west! If my brother tells me to beat a dog, I won't chase a chicken!"

Xiao Lubuhua smiled with a hint of pride and said word by word:

"Brother Jin, you don't have to tell me about this. I won't bother you with anything else. I just want to make it easier for our caravan to enter the city."

Especially the emphasis was placed on "do me a favor".

Jin Yong was sweating on his forehead and back when he heard this. He gritted his teeth, glared, and stamped his feet, saying:

"Brother took risks and made a lot of money for me to spend. This is my responsibility! Brother loves me so much, I will never hold him back!"

Xiao Lubuhua nodded with great satisfaction, and generously took out a tray of silver ingots:

"Brother, use the flowers first. If it's not enough, come back and tell me. We are brothers who have been together for life, so there's no need to be polite to me!"
