All the secret sentinels are two-person system, and the guest secretaries brought by Sun Liancheng have all been assigned, plus Wu Xin's people, a total of more than fifty people, patrolling day and night to ensure the safety of the spirit stone mine.

With more than fifty martial artists above the prefecture level in hand, Ye Fan felt a little more stable in his heart.

"Old Sun, I always feel that something is wrong, you tell me to go down, no matter when, don't take it lightly. Ye Fan said in a deep voice.

"Elder Ye, don't worry, I've already made arrangements, the people in our Keqing Mountain are all first-class elites, and they are quite reliable. Sun Liancheng said with a smile. "By the way, Elder Ye, I have already contacted some friends in the rivers and lakes, and spent a lot of money to ask them to help us find out the news, and I will notify you as soon as there is news. ”

Ye Fan smiled, patted Sun Liancheng on the shoulder, and said: "It's done well, no matter when, we must be cautious, we must despise the enemy strategically, but we must attach importance to the enemy tactically." ”

"Elder Ye, I have been wandering the rivers and lakes for many years, and if I don't have any ability, I would have died in the rivers and lakes long ago. Sun Liancheng said with a smile.

For three days in a row, everything was fine, Sun Liancheng got some news about Shenxiaomen, and the content of hundreds of messages was the same, that is, Shenxiaomen announced the closure of the mountain and retreat.

A trace of horror flashed on Ye Fan's face, who got the news, and he looked at Sun Liancheng, who came to deliver the news, and said: "In the martial arts world, if the mountain is closed and retreated, it means that the sect has encountered a major crisis, and the mountain gate will be closed and isolated from the world, and it will be closed for at least a year. Is this the case in Shenzhou?"

Sun Liancheng nodded and said: "Shenzhou and the martial arts world are in the same line, although the level of the martial arts world is not as good as Shenzhou, but many traditions are the same, and the same is true of Shenzhou, but the so-called mountain closure and retreat of Shenxiaomen is not completely isolated from the world, their so-called mountain closure and retreat is actually to reduce contact with the outside world, and some necessary activities are still available." ”

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Actually, it's just recuperation?"

"That's right, it's recuperation. Sun Liancheng replied.

Suddenly, a noise attracted Ye Fan, Ye Fan turned his head to look, and saw the convoy transporting supplies entering the mining area, every once in a while, Shacheng would transport a batch of materials over, the convoy was huge, there were hundreds of carriages alone, grain, salt, vegetables and other things, as well as mining equipment and other things.

"More than 200 miners eat, drink, and lazar, as well as the daily wear and tear of mining tools, which is a large amount. Sun Liancheng said.

"Build a road from Shacheng to Lingshi Mine, which can speed up the speed and reduce the loss on the road. Ye Fan said with a smile. "I'll give you a sum of money, you recruit people from Sand City, and start building a gallop road tomorrow. ”

"This is a big project, although Shacheng is relatively close to the Lingshi mine, but there are also more than 50 miles of roads, and the construction of the Chi Road is huge, and at least 500,000 gold coins are required. Sun Liancheng quickly calculated in his heart and said a huge number.

Speaking of gold coins, Ye Fan thought of the fact that Shenxiaomen had promised to compensate Ye Fan for 200,000 gold coins, but he had not given it yet, so it was better to take this opportunity to test Shenxiaomen.

"Shenxiaomen still owes me a lot of things, I'll go to Shenxiaomen. Ye Fan summoned the bloodthirsty sword, the sword flew, and hurried to the Shenxiao Gate.

More than an hour later, Ye Fan landed in front of the mountain gate of Shenxiao Gate, and the mountain gate of Shenxiao Gate for mountain closure was closed, and the four big characters of mountain closure and retreat were hung on it.

It seems that it is really a mountain retreat!

"Ye Fan came to visit, please open the mountain gate. Ye Fan shouted loudly, and his deep voice spread into the distance.

Not long after, the second elder walked out of the small door next to the mountain gate, and after seeing Ye Fan, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and said, "Elder Ye, welcome to the Shenxiao Gate as a guest." While speaking, the second elder looked around, and after finding that Ye Fan had come alone, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and he secretly said in his heart, Ye Fan is really a master of art and bold, and he is incompatible with Shenxiaomen, so he dares to come alone.

After entering the main hall, a trace of surprise flashed on Ye Fan's face, the main hall that had been completely destroyed had actually been rebuilt.

After seeing the door master, Ye Fan arched his hand and said, "Ye Fan, the first-class guest of the Sword Sect, meet the master of the Shenxiao Gate." ”

After the master of the Shenxiao Gate saw Ye Fan, a cold light flashed in the corner of his eyes, which was fleeting, and then said with a smile: "Elder Ye is here, let the Shenxiao Gate shine, hurry up and take a seat, taste the wine of our Shenxiao Gate, Second Elder, go to the wine cellar and take out the wine that I have treasured for fifty years." ”

The second elder nodded hurriedly, and a few minutes later, he came over with a mud-sealed wine jar, opened the seal, poured amber and somewhat viscous wine into the wine jug, and then poured a glass for the Shenxiao Sect Master, the elders, and Ye Fan.

The master of the Shenxiao Gate raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Elder Ye, there have been many misunderstandings between the Sword Sect and the Shenxiao Gate, and the two families are very unhappy, some time ago, I sent an envoy to the Sword Sect and reached a cooperation agreement with Tianwen Shouzao, from now on, the Sword Sect and the Shenxiao Gate will only cooperate, and there will be no disputes." ”

"Now I apologize to you for the misunderstanding. The master of the Shenxiao Gate took the wine glass and drank it all.

Ye Fan felt that the change of the master of Shenxiao Gate was too great, and the root seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, but the other party was so polite, Ye Fan didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

In the mouth, the wine feels very smooth and delicate, as if you have eaten jelly, and a rich aroma of wine lingers in the mouth.

"It's a good wine, it's the best wine I've ever had. Ye Fan put down the wine glass, refilled it, and drank three glasses in succession, which made him feel a little enjoyable.

The master of the Shenxiao Sect laughed and said, "Since Elder Ye likes it, you can come often in the future and drink with me, Second Elder, prepare two jars of good wine, and bring them with you when Elder Ye leaves." ”

The second elder nodded and went to prepare the wine.

The master of the Shenxiao Gate looked at Ye Fan and continued: "Elder Ye, before you left the Shenxiao Gate last time, I promised you that the compensation would be sent to you in three days, but because of some miscellaneous delays, it could not be delivered, I solemnly apologize to you, I hope Elder Ye will not mind." ”

This is exactly the purpose of Ye Fan's coming, seeing that the master of Shenxiao Gate took the initiative to speak, Ye Fan said with a smile: "I am here for this matter." ”

"Elder Ye, please understand Shenxiaomen's distress, there is no problem with gold coins, let alone 200,000, even if it is doubled, I can take it out, but I really can't take out the ores and medicinal materials, the treasure house was stolen, which made Shenxiaomen suffer heavy losses, and the industries in various places can't make up compensation in a short time, so I hope that Elder Ye will be lenient for a few days." The master of Shenxiao Gate said with a bitter face, it seems that he really can't take it out.

Ye Fan said: "Since you can't take out the ore and medicinal materials, then convert them all into gold coins, a fixed price, 500,000 gold coins, ready in half a pillar of incense, I will take it away." ”

This is too simple, the Shenxiao Sect, which has a vast territory, not to mention the huge taxes, the direct industry of the Sword Sect alone can provide millions of gold coins in profits every year, so 500,000 gold coins are too simple for the Shenxiao Gate.

The master of the Shenxiao Sect almost didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "Elder Ye, thank you for understanding us, you are so refreshing, then I have to say something, I will give you 600,000 gold coins, and half a pillar of incense will be ready." ”

The gold coins circulating in Shenzhou are about the same size as the coins in the martial arts world, and the thickness is slightly thinner, Ye Fan roughly estimated that 600,000 h gold coins, Ye Fan can easily fit them into the space.

Then, Ye Fan swept everyone present with his divine sense, and then Ye Fan sighed in his heart, and all his injuries recovered.

Swept by the divine sense, the Shenxiao Gate master and the elders felt as if they had been seen through, and couldn't help but gasp, Ye Fan's eyes were as sharp as a blade, making people shudder.

After chatting for half a pillar of incense, the second elder walked into the main hall and said, "Door master, the gold coins have been packed, and the carriage is ready, ready to set off at any time." ”

Ye Fan stood up, arched his hand at the door master, and said, "Then I will leave, I hope that the Sword Sect and the Shenxiao Sect will always be peaceful." After speaking, Ye Fan turned around and walked out of the main hall with the second elder.

Five wagons loaded with gold coins were parked outside the mountain gate, each with four horses and two coachmen, ready to go.

The second elder said, "Elder Ye, the journey from Shenxiao Gate to Shacheng is far away, and you may encounter a lot of dangers, do you want me to arrange some guards for you?"

Ye Fan said, "No need, in Shenzhou, the people who can stop me haven't appeared yet, and I'm enough alone." ”

What a domineering!

However, you are already a grasshopper after autumn, and you can't jump for a few days.

After leaving Shenxiao Gate for more than ten miles, Ye Fan said to the drivers, "Stop." After Ye Fan unloaded all the boxes containing gold coins to the ground, Ye Fan said to the coachmen: "You drive the carriage back, after you go back, I have hired a convoy to go back, this is your reward." Ye Fan took out hundreds of gold coins and threw them to the coachmen.

The coachmen looked at Ye Fan blankly, and then looked at the boxes on the ground, there is no shop in front of the village, there is no carriage, how can it be transported? But Ye Fan has already spoken, and the coachmen didn't say anything, originally the coachmen didn't want to go to the distant Shacheng, now they don't have to go, and there is a reward, why not?

So they drove the carriage away.

After the coachmen left, Ye Fan waved his hand to receive all the gold coins in the space, and then used the stealth technique, stepped on the bloodthirsty sword, and rushed to Shacheng as fast as possible.

Ye Fan, who was flying in the air, felt that the Shenxiao Gate had changed a lot, especially the master of the Shenxiao Gate, as if he had changed a person, not only with a sincere attitude, but also with a very refreshing increase of 100,000 gold coins.

Could it be that Shenxiaomen really confessed?
