Time flies, and it sounds like it's none of your business, but in the end, everyone will sigh where the time has gone!

In two days, Bai Lu set off to return to Hangzhou, and Song Tianyou also brought the troops to Yangzhou according to Yang Xiao's plan, and the phoenix spirit beast knights who had just returned to Tangmen were transferred out again, and the twenty phoenix spirit beast knights would take Yangzhou as their destination.

Different from Yang Xiao's large-scale mobilization team, after that night, whether it was the ghosts in the underworld or Dugu Xin in the world, it was surprisingly quiet, this quietness made Yang Xiao feel uneasy, Yang Xiao could only be secretly careful, as for the situation in Lingshan, before the smooth transition in Yangzhou, Yang Xiao did not plan to investigate.

At noon on the third day, under the leadership of Yang Xiao, Ji Wuji, as the master of the Tang Sect, accepted Wang Shichong's surrender, and Song Que and the elders of the Song family also went to Yangzhou to watch the ceremony.

After watching the ceremony, it was the real meat show, the Song family, the Tang Sect, and Wang Shichong gathered in the conference hall of the Assassin Mansion, and it was still Yang Xiao who presided over the overall situation, and Ji Wuji took advantage of his injury to shirk it, and did not stay in the conference hall to accompany them.

Negotiations have always been based on reason, and behind the clever rhetoric, the competition is their own strength, after a fierce discussion, or according to Yang Xiao's attention, the three important positions have been arranged, and everyone can be regarded as having their own hearts.

Yang Xiao rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Since everyone has no opinions, then the five elders of the Song family will serve as the assassin history." ”

Wang Shichong said with flattery: "Miss Yang's arrangement is reasonable, but who should be responsible for this issue of military salary?"

Song Que said: "This Lord Wang can rest assured, since our five elders are assassins, then our Song family will definitely reasonably allocate Yangzhou's taxes, and it will definitely satisfy Lord Wang." ”

Yang Xiao directly cut off Song Que's words and said, "Master Song, the fifth elder is not proficient in arithmetic, so I should do it for you." ”

Song Que immediately objected, and Yang Xiao said leisurely: "This matter can't be done according to your wishes, the Divine Son means to ask the opinion of the five elders." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on the five elders, the five elders and Song Que glanced at each other, he knew what Song Que meant, but in that case, he would have disappointed Wu Ming's affection for him, so the five elders said: "I think it's still the god son who understands me, I'm just a drunk, it's okay to fight and kill, if you want me to see those numbers, then I might as well go back to the mountain city and sleep!"

Song Que heard the meaning of the five elders' words, and he knew that if he pressed harder, the five elders would definitely leave with their burdens, so he just retreated and said, "Since it is the kindness of the Divine Son, our Song family should be the leader, but how those taxes are distributed, is it still determined by the history of the assassin?"

Yang Xiao said with a smile: "The head of the Song family is joking, Yangzhou is not a city-state that has just opened, there are hundreds of years here, and all expenditures have precedents to follow, of course, these naturally have to be nodded by the new Lord Thorn Shi." ”

Song Que was stunned for a moment, Yang Xiao's words couldn't be faulted in terms of emotion and reason, but they didn't match his selfishness.

The same sentence fell in Wang Shichong's ears, but it was completely different, Yang Xiao's words, if Wu Ming was implemented, he kept the sergeant in his hand Chengruo, because there was no military salary to raise the soldiers, it was empty talk.

Wang Shichong was grateful for Yang Xiao's arrangement, but he was moved, but he was also very shocked, allowing Wang Shichong to keep the strength in his hands was not an extreme confidence, as Yang Xiao said that day, she was confident that Wang Shichong would not be able to use these soldiers to disadvantage Wu Ming!

Yang Xiao saw that everyone was silent, so he continued: "It seems that everyone has no objections, so this matter is decided." ”

Wang Shichong said: "Miss Yang has worked hard, the old man will move out tonight, and the new Lord Thorn Shi can live in." ”

Song Que saw that Wang Shichong had already expressed his position, and he guessed in his heart that this might be the condition for Yangzhou's surrender, so that even if he objected, it was estimated that it would only be a self-inflicted unhappy ending, so he also agreed.

Yang Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, Yangzhou changed hands smoothly, such a result can be regarded as a win-win outcome for the three parties.

Another day later, the Phoenix Spirit Beast Knight arrived in Yangzhou, Wu Ming's injuries have also improved greatly, Ji Wuji has also recovered eighty percent of his strength, and even the Queen Mother has basically recovered her vitality after four days of adjustment, and everything is developing in a good direction, but the uneasiness in Yang Xiao's heart has not weakened in the slightest, and she still has not found any trace of Duguxin's troops.

As soon as the Phoenix Spirit Beast Knight arrived, she was sent by Yang Xiao, and she hoped to find Dugu Xin's traces as soon as possible, even if they could confirm that they had left.

The Phoenix Spirit Beast Knight's day's fatigue did not bring the result Yang Xiao wanted, and with a look of loss, Yang Xiao came to Wu Ming's room.

Looking at Yang Xiao's appearance, Wu Ming asked, "Still haven't found it?"

"Within a radius of a hundred miles, even the people of Naling Mountain have been to see it, and there is not even a shadow, and there is no trace of the army marching in these places, as if the army has disappeared out of thin air. ”

Wu Ming said, "Let the Yin Kui Sword Sect's eyeliner check, have they slipped back?"

"The eyeliner that the Yin Kui Sword Sect can use has already been found, and there is no news of them, I also contacted Pei Ju, and the reply he just got, he can confirm that Dugu Xin has not gone back!"

"That's weird! That's more than 10,000 people!

"That's why I've been restless these days, now that Yangzhou has stabilized, and everything has returned to normal, I really don't know what else Duguxin can do if he stays, but he didn't stay, where did he go?"

Looking at Yang Xiao's tightly knit brows, Wu Ming felt pity, gently stroked her eyebrows with his hand, and said: "Don't think too much, my mother said to check the situation in the underworld, Dugu Xin Since there is collusion in the underworld, then I believe that when my mother comes back, there will be some clues." ”

Yang Xiao sighed and said: "I can't confirm their traces for a day, I really can't sleep, this enemy is not afraid of his strength, the most afraid is that he is hiding in the dark, we can't know his situation at all." ”

Wu Ming said with relief: "Don't worry, everything has me!"

While speaking, Wu Ming hugged Yang Xiao into his arms, Yang Xiao smiled slightly, leaned on Wu Ming's chest, quietly looked at the sunset outside the window, and said softly: "Now that we are getting closer and closer to the final goal, I am afraid that a negligence will fall short." ”

"Don't worry, it won't~"

The setting sun finally set in the house, shining on the shadows of the two, and the shadows stretched long, long.
