Jiang Lou swallowed his saliva, and said embarrassedly: "At least …" "At least ten thousand taels of gold." Using ten thousand taels of gold to buy a minister, and there were so many ministers in the court, how much gold was needed? Even if he had the treasury, it would not be able to fill this bottomless pit! It seemed that Zong Yuan's estimation was not wrong, he had to personally make a trip to the capital. Otherwise, he would not be able to wait for the Emperor's decree.

Thinking of this, he turned around and said to Le Tian, "Le Tian, help me find someone!" "Who is it?" The Guard Captain by the princess's side, Xiao Min! "I want to know when she leaves the palace and where he usually goes after he leaves the palace. How long will it take to find out?" Without waiting for Le Tian to speak, Jiang Lou's eyes suddenly lit up, and quickly replied: "Master, do you want to see this Xiao Min?" "That's right!" That... "This official has a way of making it so that my lord can see sher tonight!" Jiang Lou's eyes lit up as he said this with complete confidence.

"Oh?" Tang Yin looked at Jiang Lou in shock and asked, "Could it be that you and Xiao Min have both eaten and drunk together?" In Tang Yin's impression, as Yin Rou's Guard Captain, Xiao Min was aloof, aloof, and looked down on others. Her tail was almost reaching the sky, and no one would put her in her eyes.

Jiang Lou laughed and said: "Master, although I don't know Xiao Min, I do know her uncle, Xiao Qingfeng. I think, if Xiao Qingfeng were to invite her out of the palace, she would definitely give him face." Young Manor is the official in charge of the imperial family's personal belongings. Although their position may not be that big, it is not that small either. However, Young Manor is generally people who are trusted by the Emperor and belong to the Nearest Minister. When Tang Yin heard that Jiang Lou knew Xiao Min's uncle, he was naturally overjoyed. This way, the matter would be easy to settle.

"How do you know Xiao Qingfeng is Xiao Min's uncle?" Hehe, Master, this official had dinner with Xiao Qingfeng a few times, and during the meal, I have heard him mention Xiao Min as his niece a few times, so this official remembers you very clearly. "Oh!" Tang Yin laughed and said: "Tonight, you will host a feast and invite Xiao Qingfeng. On the way, you will also invite Xiao Qingfeng to invite Xiao Min as well." Yes! "My lord!" "Yes sir," Jiang Lou answered straightforwardly. He straightened his clothes and said: "I will go to Master Xiao's residence now." "Yes." Tang Yin did not object and nodded in agreement. Seeing that Jiang Lou was about to leave, Tang Yin said to Jiang Fan worriedly, "Jiang Fan, follow Master Jiang and protect Master Jiang's safety." Now that Spirit Cultivator of Dark had come knocking on his door, even Tang Yin was not at ease to let Jiang Lou go out alone.

Jiang Fan cupped his hands in acknowledgement, and followed Jiang Lou out.

Jiang Lu and Xiao Qingfeng have a good relationship." Ever since they had arrived in Shang Jing, Jiang Lu had paid a lot of respect to the ministers of the imperial court, and he was often generous with money as well. Since he was in Shang Jing, he paid a lot of attention to the ministers of the imperial court, and often, he was generous with money, and his imperial authority was currently weak, and the authority of the imperial court was even lower.

Arriving at the Xiao manor and seeing Xiao Qingfeng, Jiang Lou exchanged pleasantries with his. After he finished speaking, Jiang Lou got straight to the point and said: "Master Xiao, tonight I will be taking care of you in the VIP dining room. If you would like to invite me to have a meal tonight, is Master Xiao free?" Xiao Qingfeng was stunned at first, but then he laughed out loud and said, "Since Brother Jiang is the one who personally came to invite me, even if I don't have the time to busy myself, I still have to go!" Jiang Lou laughed happily: "Then I will be waiting for Master Xiao's grand ride." "Sure, sure." "By the way, there's one more thing." Jiang Lou laughed: "I remember the Master Xiao once said that your niece is a part of the position of Guard Captain beside your highness. I wonder... Could the Master Xiao invite your niece here as well? " Jiang Lou suddenly invited Xiao Min, which made him extremely surprised. He thought for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Why did Brother Jiang suddenly invite this mansion's niece?" Could it be... "t" No, no, no! "Please do not misunderstand, this late life is only filled with admiration for your highness. I wish to learn more about the princess through your niece. I have no other intentions." "Oh, so that's how it is." Xiao Qingfeng thought for a moment, then nodded his head and promised, "Don't worry, Brother Jiang. I will be there with Xiao Min tonight." "Thank you Master Xiao, thank you Master Xiao!" Jiang Lou cupped his hands together in thanks.

Jiang Lou did not stay in the Xiao manor for long, and continued to chat with them, before he got up and took his leave.

It was one of the four most famous restaurants in Shang Jing. It was spacious, grand and luxurious. As long as it was night time, the restaurant would be filled with people.

When Tang Yin and Jiang Lou came over, they had finally seen the extent of Jiang Lou's extravagance, and they could also be considered to have seen how his gold was being spent.

Everyone in the restaurant, from the shopkeeper to the waiter, treated Jiang Lou with extreme warmth. The way they looked at him was different from looking at others, their eyes lit up, as though they were looking at the God of Fortune.

Although Jiang Lou said that he had reserved a single room, he had actually reserved three adjacent rooms in one go. Tang Yin, Le Tian and Jiang Fan were puzzled. They did not understand why Jiang Lou had booked so many rooms.

Seeing Tang Yin's doubt, without waiting for her to ask, Jiang Lou took the initiative to explain: "I believe Master thinks that I've booked too many rooms, right? While they were eating, they did not like to be disturbed by others. If there was someone next door, even the slightest disturbance would attract their displeasure, so the lower official decided to take over the rooms on both sides of the room. This way, they would not have to worry about being disturbed, and they would also be able to relax their minds and eat, drink, and have fun in order to discuss things more easily. " So that's how it was! Tang Yin shook his head and laughed, although this couldn't be said to be wrong, but the cost was still too much, especially in a restaurant of the same level as the Meeting Room, the room would at least cost at least a hundred or eight hundred taels of silver!

Tang Yin did not speak anymore, as he,, Le Tian and Jiang Fan entered the room in the middle and sat down.

It was already evening when the three of them arrived. They didn't have to wait long before Xiao Qingfeng arrived, accompanied by a gloomy female general. To attend such a private banquet, one did not need to wear official clothes. This female general, on the other hand, wore a military uniform. She wore a helmet and armor, and her gown was tied up.

Hearing that Xiao Qingfeng had arrived, Tang Yin, Le Tian and Jiang Fan didn't move and instead went downstairs to greet him. Seeing that Xiao Qingfeng had truly brought his niece here, Jiang Lou smiled widely, he quickly walked forward, and bowed to her, saying: "This late life greets Master Xiao!" As he said that, his gaze turned towards the female general and asked: "I assume this is Miss Xiao Min?" "You are Jiang Lou?" Without waiting for Xiao Qingfeng to speak, the female general had already asked.

"Exactly." Jiang Lou nodded with a smile.

"What is your purpose in wanting to see me?" The female general's tone slightly relaxed. Jiang Lou was much younger than she imagined. He looked to be about twenty years of age, and his appearance could be considered to be not bad.

"Hehe!" Jiang Lou laughed softly, turned and said: "Please come up, Miss Xiao Min. When you reach the top, you will naturally find out what your subordinate's intentions are." He did not know what kind of medicine he was selling, but the female general still followed Xiao Qingfeng and entered the restaurant. With Jiang Lou leading, they arrived at the reserved room.

Seeing that there were three strangers sitting in the room, Xiao Qingfeng was surprised, but he was not too worried, after all, the people sitting beside him were all outstanding experts in the Spirit realm. He half turned around and asked Jiang Lou behind him, "Brother Jiang, these three are..." "These three …" Jiang Lou didn't know how to introduce Tang Yin and the other two. Just when he felt that it was difficult, Tang Yin stood up and walked over to Xiao Qingfeng and the female general beside him. After standing in front of the two of them, Tang Yin first smiled at the female general: "Great Guard Captain Xiao, we haven't seen each other for almost two years. Looking at Tang Yin in front of her, the female general couldn't believe her eyes for a moment. Taking a step back in shock, she pointed at Tang Yin's nose and stammered, "You … You... "You …" "Are you that surprised to see me?!" As Tang Yin spoke, he looked at Xiao Qingfeng in front of him again and cupped his hands. "Master Xiao, this humble one, Tang Yin, has not been able to personally pay you a visit. I am truly lacking in manners." "Tang Yin?" Let alone the female general who had turned pale with fright, even Xiao Qingfeng sucked in a breath of cold air after hearing Tang Yin's name. Although his Feng Country was a thousand kilometers away from Shang Jing, he still had some understanding of the battles that had occurred in the Feng Country. The army that Tang Yin was in control of right now was basically the uncrowned King of the Feng Country. When did you get here? What made Xiao Qingfeng even more baffled was that Tang Yin seemed to know Xiao Min …

On the other hand, the female general asked the question that was plaguing his mind. After she came back to her senses, she looked up and down at Tang Yin with joy and surprise, and said: "You …." You are really Tang Yin! When did you get to Beijing? " This female general was Princess Yin Rou, Xiao Min.

Of course, she was not unfamiliar with Tang Yin and had a deep impression of him. The last time she had followed Yin Rou to visit her Feng Country, Tang Yin, as the high-ranking officer who escorted her, had also displayed great skill on the way and chased away the assassins who attempted to assassinate the princess. It was a pity that not long after they had arrived at Yan City, Tang Yin was transferred to the position of Pingyuan County, and had no further instructions from then on.

Seeing Tang Yin, Xiao Min was pleasantly surprised, but wasn't Tang Yin the same. Seeing her, he naturally thought of Yin Rou, and anxiously wanted to know how he was doing, but to be frank, it was too rude. Tang Yin could only forcefully suppress his impulse and sit down with Xiao Qingfeng.

Until he sat in front of the seats, Xiao Min's gaze was still fixated on Tang Yin's face. It was strange to say that back then, when she was with Tang Yin, they had always quarrelled, and when they separated later on, she would unconsciously think of him. It was just like now, when he met Tang Yin again, it was like seeing an old friend that had not seen his for many years.

Tang Yin smiled at Xiao Min, but he did not immediately give her a chance to speak. Instead, he first focused his energy on Xiao Qingfeng, and turned his head to look at Le Tian, the latter understood, and took out the Brocade Box he had prepared earlier, and gently placed it in front of Xiao Qingfeng. Tang Yin smiled: "I have admired Master Xiao for a long time, and have made my first meeting with him.
