Chapter 131: Xinyue Fusion Failed

At this time, it had been three days since the occupation of Jiangcheng, which meant that the two-day deadline given by Jiang Jinshi had passed, so the days of stealing leisure were also gone forever, and a busy time would follow.

Shopkeeper Chen's news had been passed back two days ago, but Li Xinyue had not given a response.

She was waiting to see if these people were sincerely staying in Jiangcheng.

If she had met these merchants two days ago, and in the end these merchants chose to leave Jiangcheng, wouldn't she have been busy for nothing?

No team needed fence-sitters, but some choices required courage to try boldly, and what Li Xinyue needed were such people, otherwise how could they withstand the impact of her modern commercial thinking.

So she had been dragging it out, leaving this matter for today.

In the County Magistrate's mansion!

"Xiao Yue, these merchants will be left to you." Jiang Jinshi naturally pushed it to Li Xinyue.

"Hmm! I'll deal with it."

This Chamber of Commerce was led by Li Xinyue, so many things naturally had to be arranged by her.

To be honest, Jiang Jinshi looked down on these small merchants at first. His stronghold had so many people, just find a few to follow Li Xinyue to manage it.

But Li Xinyue didn't think so. What she wanted was not the shops or silver in the hands of these merchants, but merchant thinking.

This was something the bandits in the stronghold didn't possess. You tell them to hack people, that was professional, no doubt. You let them make money, it was not as good as what they earned from robbery.

A huge Chamber of Commerce couldn't rely entirely on Li Xinyue alone. Just like Jiang Jinshi had quite a few fierce generals under his command!

So Li Xinyue was cultivating her own team, which was also the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce.

Jiang Jinshi had a sudden whim. He could get a soul of a military general from his system and give it to Li Xinyue to fuse, so that she could also have a certain self-protection ability.

He couldn't accompany her all the time, and there would be negligence when finding someone to be a bodyguard. If she had martial arts herself, she could reduce a lot of trouble.

"Xiao Yue, let me fuse a soul of a military general for you, so I can feel at ease when you are alone."

"Okay!"

What Jiang Jinshi said made sense, and Li Xinyue naturally had no reason to refuse. In such troubled times, having self-protection ability was too important.

Taking a thousand taels of silver from Li Xinyue, Jiang Jinshi muttered to recruit at SS.

【Obtained Martial Saint—Soul of Guan Yunchang】

"Yo! Guan Yu, not bad!"

Jiang Jinshi said excitedly to Li Xinyue: "Get ready, I'll fuse it for you immediately."

Li Xinyue took a deep breath and nodded, indicating that she was ready.

"Fuse!"

Before, Zhang Honghong had fused the soul of Zhang Fei, so this fusion should not be gender-divided.

But the next moment, unexpected things happened!

【System self-check found external virus, cleaning in progress...】

Li Xinyue's system suddenly sounded a mechanical sound, making her confused.

【Cleaning completed!】

This was the first time Li Xinyue heard a system prompt other than the recovery prompt.

The two looked at each other, blinked at each other, seemingly not having figured out the situation.

Then Jiang Jinshi also got a system prompt sound.

【Fusion failed, returning the soul of the military general!】

"It... seems it doesn't work!" Jiang Jinshi scratched his head, his tone a bit disappointed.

Li Xinyue comforted Jiang Jinshi in turn: "It's okay! Anyway, I won't run around, there won't be any danger."

"Then when I'm not around, let Xiao Hu protect you!" Jiang Jinshi had no choice, so he could only look for good seedlings later and cultivate a few more people to take turns protecting Li Xinyue.

"Hmm hmm!" Li Xinyue nodded obediently, not questioning Jiang Jinshi's arrangement.

"What are you going to do about Li City?" Li Xinyue asked Jiang Jinshi.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it!"

Li City was now considered to be of one heart with Jiang Jinshi, but after all, there was Xiao Chunqiu in the middle, so the vassal of the vassal was not his vassal, which was why Li Xinyue asked this question.

Regarding this point, Jiang Jinshi had long thought about it. This fusion of the soul of the military general had a prerequisite, which was loyalty to himself.

Before, he felt that this function was a chicken rib, but now it was just right to test whether others had two hearts.

If Xiao Chunqiu fused successfully, then he didn't have to think too much and let him continue to manage Li City. Otherwise, he could only take Li City by some means.

Jiang Jinshi continued: "Stabilize Jiangcheng first, and then I'll go to Li City."

"Okay!"

Then the two discussed it again before ending the conversation in a hurry.

Jiang Jinshi left Xiao Hu by Li Xinyue's side, and he rushed toward the city gate.

During this period, the city gate was wide open during the day, only allowing exit and not entry, making many people realize that what this bandit leader said seemed to be true.

Some people chose to stay, and naturally some people chose to leave. When the first person dragging his family walked out of the city gate, he was not blocked or robbed, so those who wanted to leave were completely relieved.

Then those who intended to leave hurriedly packed their bags, as if there were floods and beasts behind them, and left the city.

Most people followed the trend, which naturally moved the wavering hearts of many people.

Such a situation continued until the second day before it was alleviated. Only a few people left on the second day. In the end, about 20% of the people left Jiangcheng.

This proportion was much lower than Jiang Jinshi imagined. He originally thought that at least half or more of the people would leave.

What Jiang Jinshi didn't know was that the noodle stall owner and the old man with the donkey cart had contributed a lot to it, helping him regain quite a bit of reputation.

Of course, those who stayed had no bottom in their hearts. Most of the common people had no choice and could only continue to stay in Jiangcheng.

Yesterday evening, a group of bandits who had just finished patrolling went to the restaurant to eat. The restaurant owner secretly complained in his heart. In his view, this group of people was here to eat for free. The previous city-guarding soldiers were also like this, and they never paid for meals.

The city-guarding soldiers were fine, with about ten people in each group, and he could afford to lose a bit by gritting his teeth.

This group of bandits had fifty people! Eating for free with so many people, he was afraid he wouldn't have to do business in the future.

But what he didn't expect was that after eating, the leader of the group actually took the initiative to give silver, which made the restaurant owner confused.

He was afraid that the other party would find trouble with him later if he took the silver, and he was afraid that they would come every few days if he didn't take it.

Before he could struggle, the leader put down the silver and left the restaurant, leaving with other bandits laughing and talking.

This matter actually regained some reputation for Yangguangzhai. That captain was Jiang Ze.

After entering the city, Yangguangzhai still upheld the tradition of covering food and drink, and would never let the brothers go hungry.

It was just that after Jiang Ze and the brothers below finished patrolling, someone said "I have never eaten restaurant food in my life" when passing by the restaurant. ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
