Li Jing invited Yang Xingmi and his party at Jixiang Temple in the city. Jixiang Temple is one of the 72 temples inside and outside Xiapi City, located in the east city of the outer city.

Xia Pi City is located at the triangular intersection of Sishui and Yishui. Its northeast is the Yishui that goes south, and the northwest is the Sishui that goes south to merge with the ancient Bian River. The Sishui and the ancient Bian River meet in Xuzhou, northwest to Xia Pi, and then flow to Xia Pi, and finally meet with the Yishui and flow into the Huai River in the southeast direction.

In addition to Yi and Si Erhe, there is also a Shu River to the east of Xia Pi City and a Sui River to the west. The valley of Yi and Shu Erhe River to the east is an important channel directed by the Huai Si region to Qing, Qi, Zi, Lai and Deng in eastern Henan.

The northwest of Si River leads directly to Xuzhou, the important town of Huai and Si River leads directly to Suzhou, along the west of Sui River leads directly to Suzhou.

It can be said that Xia Pi has always been the center of politics, economy and culture in the eastern part of the Central Plains. It is a thoroughfare of water and land in the Central Plains. It has a prosperous population and prosperous trade, and has always been a must-fight for military strategists throughout the ages.

The three cities of Xuzhou, Xia Pi and Sizhou have formed a horn-like force and have always been a must-fight place for military strategists in Huaibei and Huaisi.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei and Lu Bu all stationed troops here, and Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and Lu Bu all fought here.

Xia Pi City has another huge feature, that is, the transformation from all dynasties, and finally the Si River and Yi River were connected, and Si River was obtained. The two rivers of Yi finally completely surrounded Xia Pi City into an inverted triangle, adding a bit of strength to Xia Pi City's defense.

Xia Pi was originally under the influence of the army, but now it has become a major military center under the Qin army. Now the Qin army is preparing to attack Xu and Suzhou. Patrol troops pass by from time to time on the streets, adding a bit of solemnity to the quiet night.

Zhao Jiang told them that the Qin army was ready to attack Xu Su and the other prefectures. "If it weren't for hearing that Yang Langjun was coming, the King of Qin had already led his army to leave Bupi." He explained casually with a smile: "The thief Huang Chao took advantage of our attack on Gao Pian and seized the opportunity to steal Xu Su and the other prefectures. These thieves were brave, but it would be so simple to seize food from our tiger's mouth. No matter what they took, we would let them all spit it out again. Although Huang Chao seemed to be majestic in Luoyang, it was because our Qin King had no time to pay attention to him now, otherwise, 100,000 flags had already entered Luoyang."

The carriage stopped in front of the temple gate. Xia Pi was a place where Buddhism flourished. There are 72 temples inside and outside the city. During the Buddha bathing ceremony on April 8 every year, believers from all over the world all went to Xia Pi to burn incense, and set up meals dozens of miles along the way, and the scene was grand.

Li Jing held a banquet at Jixiang Temple. The host in the temple not only did not feel disturbed, but instead felt that he was lucky enough to entertain Li Jing and his party enthusiastically. Outside the temple gate, two wise monks were specially sent to welcome the guests of the King of Qin.

The two monks with fat heads and ears were covered in oily faces, which was different from the people in Xia Pi City. However, their etiquette was very sufficient. They said Amitabha and greeted them with a smile. Zhao Jiang said a few words to them. He invited Yang Lihua and his sister to get off the bus together and followed the monks into the temple.

Yang Lihua noticed that her brother was holding the hilt of the Malay snake sword bought from a merchant in Dengzhou, and it looked as nervous as hers. "Don't be nervous later, remember what my brother taught you." Yang Xingmi whispered to her.

Zhao Jiang smiled and said, "Tonight, many prominent civil servants and generals from Daxingtai will attend the dinner. The left and right servants of Daxingtai, the six ministers, the left and right envoys of the Staff Academy, and the several governors of the Five Army Governor's Office will basically come."

When Yang Xingmi heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked and excited. Tonight's dinner was so grand. It seemed that as Yuan Xi said, not only did he need Li Jing's support, but Li Jing also needed him.

When you enter the temple, you will sit in the backyard. The hall in front is where tonight's dinner is. The air is filled with a refreshing smell of perfume. They were introduced into the living room by the monks. Under the red columns, a monk loudly announced their visit: "Luzhou Yang Dalang and Yang Xiaoniang are here," "Luzhou Yuan Xi, and Xu Dunmei are here!"

Amid the monks' welcome, they walked into the hall.

The desk seats had already been placed in the hall, and there were many people sitting behind these seats. However, what surprised Yang Lihua was that these people were very young, most of them were young people in their twenties and thirties, and only a few people in their forties and fifties. There was already a young man sitting on the main seat, who looked much younger than his brother, calm and generous, and heroic. She only looked at it and did not dare to look at it again. She guessed in her heart that it was King Qin.

Yang Lihua looked away, but suddenly realized that at today's dinner, she was not the only female surname. There were several tables on both sides of the upper head of Li Jing, and there were no bead curtains or screens. Four beautiful beauties were sitting there. Although two of them were Hu girls, Yang Lihua still saw at a glance that their temperament was extraordinary, and they were definitely not ordinary singers or the like.

Zhao Jiang whispered beside them: "The person sitting upright is the King of Qin. The four left and right of His Highness are Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Ninth Lady Mei, Mrs. Tinth Lady Zhu, and the other is Mrs. Gongsun, the Chief of the Supervisory Office of the Daxingtai and the Doctor of the Investigation Bureau."

The last introduction caught Yang Lihua's attention and she was slightly surprised: "Is she an official from a major Taiwan business?"

"Miss Gongsun is an important official position in Daxingtai, the head of the Supervision Department, and the head of the Supervision Department of the Six Ministry of the Daxingtai." Zhao Jiang chuckled: "The Chief of Supervision, who is in charge of the Ninth Supervision Bureau."

"Women can also be officials, and they can also do such a high official position?" She couldn't help but blurt out.

"Under the rule of the Qin King, women can also be officials. They can not only be officials, but also doctors, gentlemen, etc. In our major market, nearly half of the women who have married work like men. They can not only take care of their husbands and children, but also make money to support their families."

Yang Lihua found herself curious about the four women beside the King of Qin. She had learned that except for the seventh lady Zhang, who was born in the former daughter of the governor of Songzhou, the other three women were not simple. The two Hu women were actually the wives of the two generals of Li Jing. They were really the leader of the army, and each of them was commanding hundreds of warships and five thousand horses. Moreover, the two wives were actually pirates and had experienced many battles.

The King of Qin not only appointed women as officials, but also asked his concubine to be a general to lead troops to fight. Yang Lihua had already begun to be full of curiosity about the young King of Qin.

Yang Xing held Yang Lihua's hand tightly, signaled to Li Jing, who was in the head, and whispered: "Sister, have you seen him?"

Li Jing sat upright on the head, graceful, calm and generous. He was talking and laughing softly with the ladies beside him. He smiled so beautifully, free and confidently.

"Did your sister see him? He was born in the same year as his brother, and even came from almost the same origin as us. But look at him, he was over 20 years old, and he was already a vassal king. He held hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and had dozens of states. He ruled millions of people and had billions of wealth. Even today's sons had to look at Li Jing's expression. But look at his brother, compared with him, he was nothing. Will the king, princes, generals and ministers still have a genius? Li Jing also started from scratch. In today's troubled times, heroes started from the times. If his brother could get his help, he would definitely achieve a career in the future and shine the clan. Sister, can you help me?"

Yang Lihua's hand was a little painful when Yang Xingmi pinched it, but she didn't make a sound.

If my brother told her before today, although she would not object, she would definitely be unhappy. But at this moment, listening to my brother's words, she quietly glanced at the man in front of her head, but she couldn't help feeling her heart pounding. Not only did she not feel disgusted in her brother's words, but she felt a little expectant in her heart.

Finally, she finally whispered in a hoarse voice, "I do." After saying this, two lines of tears suddenly slid down the corners of her eyes. She didn't know why the tears were flowing, was excitement, joy, or sadness?

"Sister, brother won't harm you. Following Li Jing will definitely be the best destination for your sister in her life. Wipe her tears quickly and he's here."

Yang Lihua turned her head and found that Zhao Jiang was walking towards her with Li Jing. She quickly wiped away two lines of tears with the back of her hand.

"Smile at him quickly." Yang Xingmi wanted to press the hilt of the sword, but suddenly remembered that the sword had been taken away by Li Jing's guard outside the hall. He immediately clenched his fists and said nervously: "Remember to straighten your chest and raise your head."

Before coming, Yang Xingmi was full of confidence in his sister. Although her sister was not a famous lady, she was naturally beautiful. But after entering the hall and meeting the four women at Li Jing's hand, he realized that the concubines around Li Jing were not worse than those of his sister. Compared with them, the sister had a green smell, which was inevitably miserable. He couldn't help but regret it. Maybe he should have found a more beautiful woman to bring it to.

When Yang Lihua saw Li Jing getting closer and closer, her heart couldn't help but beat violently. She finally smiled and raised her towering chest.

After the dinner, Yang Xingmi went back with Yuan Xi and Xu Wen with satisfaction, while his sister Yang Lihua was kept by the Gongsun lady. This result made him very satisfied, which shows that things are one step closer to success.

After staying in Xia Pi for another day, Yang Xingmi finally received another summon from Li Jing. After staying in Li Jing's study for an afternoon, Yang Xingmi could no longer suppress her excitement when she came out, and almost whistled to the sky, so that when Yang Xingmi was discharged from the hospital, she collided with someone.

After saying a few apology, the two nodded and left each other. However, after Yang Xingmi walked for a while, he suddenly felt that the man looked familiar just now, but he couldn't remember such a young man among the Qin army civil and military officials he had seen these days. When he turned around, he saw that there was no trace of that person anymore.

Outside Li Jing's study, Zhao Jiang knocked on the door and reported: "Your Highness, General Qian Jumei from Hangzhou is asking for a meeting!"

Li Jing's voice came from the room, "So it's Brother Jumei coming, please come in!"
