After all, Ji Zhan was in his seventies, so it would be a joke for him to lead the army. He had two sons. The eldest son, Ji Jing, died young, while the second son, Ji Jian, was well versed in military books, skilled in bow and horse, and had high martial arts skills. He was quite like Ji Zhan when he was young. With his demeanor, it is okay to be a leading general for a while.

Lu Ye, Gu He and Zhou Song discussed for a short while and all expressed their agreement. However, Gu He seemed to have thought of something else. He frowned and asked, "Although the four surnames of Wu County have gathered their troops to court. As for intervention, will the Prime Minister be suspicious? The Prime Minister has strong military strength. Stone City and Gushu have a total of 80,000 infantry troops. There are also 50,000 troops in Jing and Jiangzhou. If the Prime Minister refuses, we will wait. So what should we do?”

Zhou Song and Ji Zhan suddenly felt confused. Such an important person had indeed been ignored. They could look down on the court, but they would never dare to look down on Wang Dun.

But Lu Ye waved his hands and said: "Hey, you guys are worrying too much. Shi Yao, his disciple, is the Prime Minister and has a long history. Ye can write a letter to him to explain the situation to the Prime Minister. I think the Prime Minister is not unreasonable. And don't forget it. , Shen Jin, the son of Shen Chong, the prime minister's beloved general, was tortured and killed by the Liangzhou herdsman. Shen Chong sent troops to avenge and suffered a great loss. How could the prime minister not have a grudge? He just couldn't find an excuse and had no choice but to do it. Now I, the four surnames of Wu County, are sending troops. To exterminate this beast, according to Ye's guess, the Prime Minister is willing to do it conveniently and will acquiesce."

The three of them couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and they nodded in agreement. Ji Zhan said: "That's the case, I'm relieved. Time is running out. The four of us will go our separate ways quickly. Don't delay, and gather troops in Jinling within a month. Conquer this beast with all your strength!"

Lu Ye looked at Zhou Song and Gu He. The three of them saluted Ji Zhan and said, "I'll go back to the house immediately to take care of things. Say goodbye!" After saying that, he left Ji Zhan's carriage and went their separate ways.

The four major surnames in Wu County were busy preparing for war, but Yunfeng spent a leisurely day at the Shangshutai and stayed there until the evening before returning to the mansion with unfulfilled emotions. Not to mention Director Wang and Xi Jian , Although Wen Qiao and others have evil intentions, they put aside their political stance and only look at their talents and learning. Everyone has something worthy of praise. Everyone wears masks and chats with each other for entertainment, but the atmosphere is harmonious and enjoyable. Following Yunfeng, The guards who came here also had a special place to stay, had food and drink, were waited on, and were very happy.

Time flies by, and in a blink of an eye, it is October 18th. This day is the day when the store opens. Regarding this day, Yunfeng did not ask Zhuge Fei to divine it, but he decided to make it today!

It's very simple. It's October 18th, even numbers bring hair, it couldn't be better.

At Chen time, the women in the family, including Xun Guanniang's master and apprentice, today's leader Song Yu, and the thirty female Rakshasa she trained, and hundreds of other related personnel, all dressed in costumes, were ready in the square in front of the temple. Yunfeng immediately shouted: "Let's go!"

Suddenly, the noisy gongs and drums of "boom, boom, boom, boom, boom" began, and the large group of people drove out of the house one by one, heading towards the shop located in Yanhuai Liesi.

At the front of the team are sixteen majestic lions with golden fluff! This is a sample drawn by Yunfeng and handed over to a well-known craftsman in Jiankang. Each lion is made by two specially trained , the bodyguards dressed in bright yellow shorts are dancing, half male lion and half female lion! The male lion is Guan Gong lion, with a red head. It means loyalty, victory and wealth! The female lion is Liu Bei lion, with a yellow head. , representing the benefit of the common people and benevolence and righteousness!

Sixteen lions walked while performing various interesting and joyful actions such as scratching, scratching their ears and cheeks, licking their fur, rolling, and jumping to the music of gongs and drums.

Following the Lion Dance Team was the Gong and Drum Team. The Gong and Drum Team was composed of servants from the former Xunsong Mansion. Yunfeng selected 80 strong men among them, 40 of whom wore waist drums, and 40 of whom played gongs.

Arrange in neat formation, with

As they hammered out rhythmic syllables, they were all wearing bright red shorts, with happy smiles on their faces, looking extremely festive. They couldn't help but be unhappy, Yunfeng didn't let them work in vain, they were all paid.

The common people were attracted one after another. This was the first time they had seen such a lively scene in their lives. They all stood on the roadside and stopped to watch.

"Look, look, these lions are blinking, shaking their heads slightly, jumping up and down, they seem to be laughing!"

"Oh, it has changed again. Oh, they are angry. Look, those eyes are bigger than bells, staring at us!"

"Huh? Why do you look like you're drunk? You can't walk steadily. Don't fall to the ground because you're so crooked!"

Every time the rhythm of the gongs and drums changed, the lion responded accordingly, either happy, angry, drunk, etc., which aroused bursts of cheers and admiration from the onlookers. Although the weather was gloomy, it fully aroused the mood of the scene and the crowd

The first faction in China is in full swing

Many people were unable to fully enjoy the atmosphere, and simply moved forward with the team, although they did not know where the team was going and what its destination was. But, what the heck! Of course, the one who screamed the most happily

, the happiest people are the children!

Geng Wenjun has been suffocating these days. It was really hard to live and eat with Xun Guan Niang. Today, he was finally released and could finally take a breath. She turned her head and looked around, and for a while she looked directly in front of her and made various

The lion dance team looked at the crowds of people on both sides of the road, all smiling and teasing the children running around them from time to time. They were very happy.

Geng Wenjun chuckled and turned his head unconsciously to praise: "General, no wonder you surrounded a corner of the mansion a few days ago, beating gongs and drums all day long, and not letting anyone in. It turns out it was just for today!"

I have to say, you reach

At the destination, you have fully aroused Wenjun's curiosity, and the effect is quite good. You see, the people are very happy, and Wenjun is also very satisfied! For this hand of yours, Wenjun only gives it to you

Four words: Keep up the good work!”

Yunfeng always felt uncomfortable hearing these words. They were obviously words of praise, but why did they change the taste when they came out of her mouth?

Xun Guanniang also felt this way, and turned around to blame: "Wenjun, if you don't know how to speak, don't speak. Are you praising someone or making fun of someone?"

"Oh!" Geng Wenjun was like a bucket of cold water poured on his head. His interest suddenly lost most of his interest. He couldn't help but put his smile away and didn't dare to make any more noise.

Zhang Lingyun was secretly amused and advised: "Master, just let her go. Yun Lang doesn't mind either."

Xun Guanniang shook her head, ignored it, and looked forward again.

The loud sound of gongs and drums attracted more and more people. When the queue reached its final destination, along the Huaihe River, there were thousands of people following it!

Yunfeng did not expect such an effect in advance. Even though so many people came to see it, there were almost no people with real purchasing power. The jewelry sold in the store would be priced in gold and silver. Who could ordinary people afford it?

People with higher status such as gentry, common landowners, wealthy businessmen, etc. would not go to the streets to watch the excitement. Yunfeng just wanted to use this method to let them know that this store was open. However, the common people came,

He had no choice but to continue singing the show.

The shop under Yunfengpan is a two-story building, exquisite and gorgeous. It was originally a silk and silk shop. It is located in the middle of the row of shops along the Huai River. It is the largest brothel in Jiankang and diagonally opposite to the Wanghuai Tower. The terrain is excellent!

At this time, the small building was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, but the door was closed tightly. The plaque hanging directly above the foyer was also covered with cloth, which made people confused. Five lanterns had been erected in the open space in front of the building.

temporary wooden frame, four seats and five seats

The wooden frames are distributed in a square shape in the southeast and northwest directions, surrounding a six-foot-high wooden frame in the middle! A colored ball is placed on the top of each wooden frame, and the bottom is covered with manuscripts that are more than a foot thick.

It's confusing.

Yunfeng waved his hand, and the noisy gongs and drums and the lions shaking their heads stopped instantly. This transition from movement to stillness made people unconsciously feel a sense of loss, and the noisy crowd gradually quieted down.

Yunfeng turned to the crowd, cupped his hands, and said loudly: "Fellow folks, I will open the store today. Thank you all for coming to support me. In order to thank you for your hospitality, I have specially prepared a small show to win over you.

Smile." Then, pointing to the wooden frame, he continued: "Have you seen it? The Lion King Competition will be held here. First, the four lion kings from the southeast, northwest and northwest will be decided, and the last four lion kings will compete for the center.

Yang Lion King! Okay, no more nonsense, I won’t waste everyone’s time, get ready!”

"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom," the thunderous sound of gongs and drums rang again, and a total of sixteen lions, eight men and eight women, jumped up and down, ready to go on stage at any time.

Su Qizhen raised her fist and cheered: "Sisters, come on! You can't compete with those stinky men! Do you understand?"

"Work hard! You will win! Yeah" the eight female lions cheered in unison, their voices full of high morale and unwillingness to admit defeat.

Yunfeng, who was specially called here, couldn't sit still, and he also stepped forward and encouraged: "Brothers, if you lose to those girls, do you think you will still have the face to see others?"

"General, how should you write the word 'lose'? Ah? Brother, I don't know this word! Hahahahaha" The eight male lions burst into arrogant laughter at the same time!

Before the performance officially started, the scene was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. The people were full of expectations and their eyes were wide open, for fear of missing the good show.

Geng Wenjun was affected by the atmosphere at the scene, and her mood became happy again. She shook her little head and looked around, but accidentally discovered a person in the crowd. Her brother Geng Liang was also there. She couldn't help but waved and called: "Brother

,Brother, sister is here!”

When Geng Liang heard the voice, he felt happy. He turned to Wang Xizhi and smiled and said, "Young Master Zhong, let's go over and say hello to General Yun."

Wang Xizhi circled his hand: "You and I were originally invited by Brother Duanshan to support us. Brother Yuangui, please go first!"

Geng Liang bowed his hands as a sign of meaning. He was the oldest and indeed had the qualifications. He took the lead to walk in the direction of Yunfeng, followed closely by Wang Xizhi, Xi Xuan, Jiankang Gambling God Yuan Dan and Xie Shang.
