In a peaceful pledge shop, in a quiet courtyard, Wang Baolin leaned on the couch and listened to a gust of wind and flowing water from behind the bead curtain not far away. His expression was completely immersed in it. The manager of the pledge shop who was hurriedly slowed down when he saw this scene. When he was waiting at the door, he did not dare to disturb the young master's interest in listening to the music.

The song continued, but Wang Baolin, who had slightly closed his eyes, spoke as if no one else was around, and said, "The matter is done!"

Hearing Wang Baolin's voluntary questioning, the manager dared not be negligent, and he quickly replied: "Big shopkeeper, this is a total of more than 3.8 million gold coins taken out from the Ninth Bank today, and the money has been recorded!"

"What's the reaction there?" What Wang Baolin wanted to know more was not the question of whether the money was recorded or not, but the reaction from the Ninth Bank.

"After our people came back, they all said that everything was normal. When we went to collect the money, we didn't get any trouble. We gave it very happily!"

"Oh, has it been as calm as usual?" Wang Baolin opened his eyes, sat up, and swept his sword eyes at the manager.

"This is not the case. A few people came back and said that the guy suddenly left and said he was going through some procedures, but he came back within a moment. After that, he continued to sit in the cabinet calmly until the evening, and all the license plates ended!"

When Wang Baolin heard this, he frowned slightly and quickly checked it in his mind. It seemed that the Ninth Bank was already prepared, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved. The nine major bank had connected many people in this month and used a lot of relationships. If there was no sound of the wind there, it would be no far away from death. Judging from the situation today, the other party was obviously prepared.

At the counter of the Ninth Bank, he can only receive a maximum limit of 30,000 gold coins every day. The people he sent today are retail investors, just to test it. The Ninth Bank is actually very similar to the bill bank, which is to absorb deposits and then lend money, but one is just in the light and the other is in the dark.

Over the past month, he not only gave a large amount of money to the Ninth Bank, but also contacted many people to borrow short-term funds. Because of the mortgage, the processing speed is very fast and the cost is not high. With this, he drew no less than 160 to 70 million gold coins from the other party. Of course, they only paid favors and promised loan interest for this loan. Although there were some money, it was a drop in the bucket for the nine major bankers who were rich and powerful.

Unfortunately, he didn't know how much money he had saved in the Ninth Bank and how much money he had in the vault, but he had mastered the accounts of most of the Ninth Bank's entry and exit in this month. This time, the first thing he did was that time would not wait for others and could not continue to wait, otherwise the status of the Ninth Bank would become more and more stable. Secondly, he also believed that the preparations were almost done, with deposits, loans, and two-pronged approaches, with no less than 300 million gold coins in the entry and exit. In addition, some of the major customers operating in the Nine Ticket Banks, there were no less than 100 million gold coins.

The other party first borrowed a large amount of money, which would take at least three months to recover. Then, he also sent 50 million gold coins to Mu Tianfu, which made the other party's vault less than 200 million gold coins. Even if he only accounted for 50% or 60% of the people he mobilized this time, the remaining people, and those massive retail investors, could not save 300 million gold coins.

Even if you are prepared, we will clearly see who can't hold on first: "Go and tell me and continue to get it. Within ten days, take out all the gold coins we deposited in!"

"Would you like to be in the market?"

"Not for now. Let's talk about it in a few days. We are constantly withdrawing money there. There will always be people who notice that we can just add fuel to the fire and add more fire. Also, continue to poach people for me, and we must find a way to find out how much treasury reserves of the Ninth Bank are!"

"Yes, the big shopkeeper!"

In the Imperial Capital, the open and secret struggle between the Ninth Bank and the Nine Banks has begun, and in Panlong Yuan, a conflict inevitably broke out.

Hu Yong did not wait until early the next morning to issue an order. When Yang Ye went to the backyard to take a bath, Hu Yong came to the front yard and issued several orders. First, he mobilized two hundred-person guards to go to the fortress at the top of Panshe Road. In addition, the guards who were originally stationed here, together, there were about 500 people.

The personal guards of the Marquis' Mansion are organized into a 100-man guard, but there are no fixed units such as battalions, brigades, divisions, etc. According to the garrison, Panlong originally fought more than 4,000 people in Longcheng, and were organized into the first personal guards, while the personal guards of more than 800 people in Panlong City were organized into the second personal guards.

The first personal guards were arranged for the matter. For example, the border fortress, stone fortress and Chilong Fort outside Zhanlong City were stationed with more than 500 guards. For example, Panshe Town and Panshe Village guarding both ends of Panshe Mountain Road, there were 100 people and 300 people respectively. In Zhanlong City, there were only more than 2,000 soldiers and horses.

The biggest difference between noble private soldiers and imperial soldiers is that private soldiers are equivalent to property. For example, the nine surnames of the family members of the Mutian Hou Mansion. Among the private soldiers of the Yang family, these nine surnames include most positions of generals and civil servants. The soldiers below are mostly from these nine families, basically family soldiers. With the marriage between the nine surnames, almost the entire Yang family's guards can be related to relatives, so there is almost no doubt about loyalty, because the fate of the nine surnames of the family members is completely connected with the Yang family, and every generation in the family has been instilled with the loyalty of the victims since childhood, and even the will to die.

Therefore, among the noble private soldiers, in addition to military law, there is also a layer of family law, and the entire private army has a closer relationship with Yang Ye. This is why, the Yang family gave so many gold coins a month, but no one complained or even deviated.

The welcome banquet in the inner city of Zhanlong City was held until midnight. Yang Ye was drunk and was helped back to the backyard. The welcome banquet immediately dispersed. At night, the entire Zhanlong City fell into silence again. However, in the northeast direction outside the inner city, there was a tent on the large open space, and the lights were not extinguished all night. All of them were the mercenary groups who came to Panlongyuan to hunt and the hunters with more than six stars.

"Company Commander, have you heard about the matter over there?"

"Why is Xinmu Tianhou coming to fight Longcheng?" Lian Xiaolin, the leader of the Tiger Battle of the small mercenary group, has about twenty people under his command, but he is not qualified to intervene in the meetings of those super and large mercenary groups, but this does not mean that the news on his side is blocked.

"Well, I heard from the words of Tie Yandao, the leader of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, it seems that the newly promoted Marquis Mu Tian seems to be not that agreeable to us hunting here, and he also drives us away! He even confiscated the prey we hunted, the famous orc bear king. He didn't catch the wolf king's cub back two days ago. Fortunately, he made some publicity and planned to rush back to Panlong City and sell it for a good price, but he was caught by the newly promoted Yang boy and took it away. The bear king didn't even dare to let go of a fart!"

"I know that guy Xiong Li, he is not weak, but let alone him, even if it is him, he will not be much better. Although I can't get the plan of the Yang family, I plan to withdraw first. Anyway, the hunting has a lot of gains, so there is no need to take risks. This income is enough to last for the first half of the year, and the end of the year will be smooth. As for the rest, I will talk about it when I see the news!" Lian Xiaolin's family has a small business, which is not as small as those super mercenaries. There are thousands of people in total, so he doesn't need to stay here and take risks.

"The company leader intends to leave first? It's a solution. Although I didn't get much, I also caught some prey. Tomorrow morning, we will leave together and get off Panlongyuan. Let's see what's going on here. If the situation is not good, leave immediately. If hunting is still allowed, I'm back and taking a walk!"

"Okay, I'll call you early in the morning!"

The next morning, just as the sky was dawn, people successively packed their tents, put their prey on pack horses, and then left the east gate of Zhanlong City that had opened.

"Boss, aren't we stopping them? Didn't the above say that we plan to wrap these mercenaries and hunters together?"

"Now the people who leave are all small mercenaries with weak strength, and some hunters who jump orders. Although they are like a plate of loose sand, they are quite large. It's better to have a group of people. Anyway, they can go out of Longcheng and cannot get out of Panlongyuan. Someone can keep them in Panshe Village. There are fewer people in this city, so it's easier to deal with it!"

"I don't know what our new master thought, why he suddenly attacked these mercenaries and hunters. These guys were not good at it, and the number of people was not smaller than ours. We would confiscate their prey and even catch them for labor. Maybe we would fight. Although I am not afraid, we would not be able to kill or injured if we fight!"

"Although I don't understand, since the Marquis gave me this order, I will do it as I did. And this is the order that Uncle Hu personally asked us to give over. It should not be a whim, impulse. OK, I don't say these words, it will make people hear it bad!"

"I know, but there are many famous soul generals in those mercenary groups. I don't know if we can suppress them. I will let someone push out the several bed crossbows in stock. If they really fight, it will be a shock!"

Zhanlong City, everything is calm, but when it is calm, there is an undercurrent. Although Zhanlong City can still enter and exit freely, the personal guards of the Marquis' Mansion in Zhanlong City have begun to secretly arrange, surrounding the northeastern city of Zhanlong City, waiting for an order to be issued.

The sun slowly rose, and Panshe Village had strengthened two hundred personal guards, making the Tuwei Village, which was backed by the Broken Dragon Cliff and guarded one end of Panshe Mountain Road, become a little crowded. Compared with the looser Zhanlong City, Panshe Village is already ready for battle. Several crossbows have been stringed, and archers are also ready on the arrow tower, and a solemn atmosphere permeates the entire Panshe Village.
