"Sir, that shopkeeper Li should live here." Jin Yiwei Baihu looked at the few Tiger Flag soldiers not far away and said to Xu Youzhi on the side.
In fact, other people can guess it without him having to say it.
Along the way, apart from the guards outside the Khan Palace gate, there were only guards standing guard outside the gate of the courtyard in front of them.
"You, go over and ask." Xu Youzhi raised his chin at the general who was following him.
He always carried that one with him all night long and walked toward the courtyard gate with the handle of the tiger-character flag in front of him.
"Stop." A tall tiger-shaped flag soldier guarding the courtyard gate stretched out his hand to stop the commander who was about to move forward.
Another soldier with the Tiger Flag raised his musket and pointed it at the two strangers who suddenly came over.
"Don't get me wrong, we are the envoys of the Ming Dynasty." The manager hurriedly explained, then turned sideways and glanced at Xu Youzhi, and said, "The gentleman in official uniform is the envoy from the capital."
The tiger-character flag soldiers guarding the door glanced at Xu Youzhi.
Before they became soldiers of the Tiger Flag, they were all common people of the Ming Dynasty, and they could naturally be distinguished by the official uniforms of the officials.
The boss asked with a polite face: "The envoy would like to meet Shopkeeper Li of your Tiger Flag. I wonder if Shopkeeper Li is here?"
"Shopkeeper Li?" The tall tiger-character flag soldier was stunned for a moment, then realized and said, "You want to see our Deputy Director Li, right?"
This time it was the boss's turn to be stunned.
He didn't know what the deputy director's name was, or what his official title was.
In order to confirm whether Deputy Director Li and Shopkeeper Li were the same person, he had no choice but to continue: "The envoy just met the Great Khan of Tumote Department in the Khan Palace. It was the Great Khan who asked the envoy to come to see Shopkeeper Li. .”
"That's right. The Mongolians over at the Khan's Palace are used to calling our deputy director Shopkeeper Li." The tall tiger-character flag soldier said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the boss realized that he was looking in the wrong place, so he asked, "Excuse me, is this Deputy Director Li in there?"
Following the words of the soldier with the tiger character flag, he also called out to Deputy Director Li.
"Our Deputy Director Li is inside. If you want to see him, just wait here. I'll go in and report." said the tall Tiger Flag soldier.
"Thank you." The boss gave his hand to the other party.
The tall tiger-character flag soldier turned around and entered the yard.
The one who always wanted to please smiled at another tiger-character flag soldier in front of the door, and then returned to Xu Youzhi's side.
"Sir, I've already made it clear that shopkeeper Li is inside." The manager said in front of Xu Youzhi.
Xu Youzhi nodded lightly and said, "Now that we have found the place, you can follow me in!"
With that said, he walked over.
The others followed closely behind and came to the courtyard gate.
However, as soon as Xu Youzhi approached, he was stopped by soldiers with the Tiger Flag outside the door before he could walk through the door.
"What's going on?" Xu Youzhi turned his head and looked at the boss with a serious face.
Mr. Ba, who was following him, said hurriedly: "I have already told them your identity, sir. I think shopkeeper Li will personally invite you in after a while."
Xu You nodded slightly, his expression brightening.
That one was secretly relieved.
He believed that as long as Shopkeeper Li of Tiger Character Banner knew that the visiting person was Mr. Xu from the capital, he would definitely go out to greet him personally.
Xu Youzhi stood in front of the courtyard gate pretending to be dignified.
Jinyiwei Baihu and the commander-in-chief from Xuanfu were guarding him.
After waiting for a while, the tall tiger-character flag soldier who had gone in to report came out.
The expression of the boss guarding Xu Youzhi changed.
Without waiting for Xu Youzhi to speak, he hurriedly greeted him, walked closer, and asked eagerly: "Where is your Deputy Director Li? Why didn't you see him come out?"
As he spoke, he stretched his neck and looked into the courtyard door.
"Don't look, Deputy Director Li is not here." The tall Tiger Flag soldier said calmly.
The general manager frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "Did you tell him that Mr. Xu from the capital came to pay a special visit? If you don't make it clear, go in and report it again."
He was unhappy that shopkeeper Li didn't go out to greet him in person, thinking that he was too ignorant for a businessman to show off in front of the court officials.
"No need." said the tall tiger-character flag soldier, "The deputy director said that someone from the Khan Palace will inform them. If you want to do anything, just go to the Khan Palace and he will not see you."
After finishing speaking, he returned to his position on guard.
"Bold." The general manager's face sank and he said, "Master Xu came to the door in person. He, a lowly businessman, dared to turn away Master Xu. This is simply disrespectful. You, go in and arrest you, Deputy Secretary Li." Look for it!"
He pointed at another tiger-shaped flag soldier.
Xu Youzhi, who was standing not far away, heard clearly the conversation between the two people.
At this moment, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
The tall Tiger Flag warrior had a cold face and said, "I don't care what kind of bullshit you are, if you dare to cause trouble, I guarantee you won't be able to get out of here."
A Tiger Flag soldier nearby raised the muzzle of the gun in his hand and pointed it at Xu Youzhi and others.
The soldier who had always looked at the tiger-shaped flag had no scruples. If he really dared to attack them, his aura suddenly weakened.
This is the territory of the Tiger Character Banner. Once they take action here, they will never be able to leave Qingcheng with their bare hands.
"Okay, okay, okay, you Tiger Flag people are so bold that you don't even look down on the imperial officials. Come here, tie them two up for me." Xu Youzhi was so angry that he came down to arrest them. .
Jinyiwei Baihu came forward with several Jinyiwei.
"Stand back. If you dare to take a step forward, I will fire a cannon." The tall tiger-character flag soldier threatened.
Jinyiwei Baihu stopped moving forward.
He still knew the power of the fire gun. At such a close distance, he could hit it without aiming at all. Moreover, the person hit was either dead or injured, and even if he was rescued, he would be disabled.
"What are you still doing? There are so many of you, are you still afraid of the two of them? And you guys, come together, no matter life or death." Xu Youzhi urged Jin Yiwei to go up and arrest the people, and on the other hand ordered the general officer Let's go together to catch people at night.
After a few nights of hesitation, he finally didn't dare to disobey Xu Youzhi's order and surrounded the two Tiger Flag soldiers in front of the door.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
At this moment, the soldiers with the Tiger Flag in front of the door blew the bronze whistle hanging around their necks.
When Jin Yiwei and Ye Bu Ting heard the sound of the copper whistle, a bad premonition arose in their hearts, and their movements involuntarily slowed down.
tread! tread! tread!
The sound of rapid footsteps came from behind the courtyard door.
Soon, soldiers wearing cotton-padded armor and holding firecrackers with the Tiger flag filed out of the courtyard gate.
