When the soul shadow thought that Ye Feng had the power of one person and his two thousand subordinates alone, not only did he not fall behind at all, but he could subdue everyone in an instant, and he couldn't help but start believing that Ye Feng might really be able to raise the cultivation of the knife to the level of a great martial artist within a month.

Out of the capital, the carriage drove towards the other garden. Ye Xiaodao was holding it outside the carriage, driving the carriage with an excited face. Since the death of his parents, he has been bullied everywhere, where can he care about him as much as Ye Feng just now. The so-called, the one who is a confidant dies. Gu Youjing Ke was willing to take the risk to assassinate the King of Qin for the sake of Prince Dan's knowledge, and now he also handed over his life to Ye Feng with a knife. Now even if Ye Feng dies to him, he will not hesitate to die.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Ye Feng looked out. Looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, Ye Feng said: "Soul Shadow, you have been in the capital for a long time, how much do you know about the strength of the Lin Long family?" ”

The soul shadow replied: "I don't know very well about the power in the court, but I know a little bit about the rivers and lakes. ”

"Oh, then you tell me about it!" Ye Feng said.

"Although the Lin Long family does not participate in the affairs between those gangs on the surface, many of the Green Forest gangs are under their control. Let's talk about this capital, many people think that the biggest gang in the capital is me, but it's not. I'm just doing something that doesn't make it to the table. The real big gangs should be the Supreme Gang and the Blue Dragon Club, which are controlled by Lin + One + Ben + Read + Novel XSTXT and the Long Family behind the scenes. The two gangs almost monopolized most of the business in the capital, including brothels, restaurants, pawnshops, grain shops, gold shops, etc., and also engaged in some illegal salt trading behind them. This private salt is a lucrative industry, and the western and northern parts of the Celestial Star Dynasty are almost all salt-scarce areas, and you can earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins by buying and selling them in one trip. Soul Shadow said.

Ye Feng nodded slightly, what the soul shadow said was right, salt has always been the responsibility of the imperial court, but those private salts have indeed been banned repeatedly, just because of its high profits, because it does not have to pay taxes. As a result, the taxes of the imperial court were lowered, and the treasury was inevitably empty, and all the money was collected by them. After being silent for a moment, Ye Feng said: "In the future, your gang will change its name to Qinghuo, I want you to wipe out the other forces in the capital within a year, can you do it?" ”

Soul Shadow was stunned for a moment, and said: "Feng Shao, this is a bit difficult, we are only two thousand people, and we are still some bandits who have no cultivation or ordinary cultivation, and it is really a bit powerless to deal with the two major gangs." ”

"I'll let Chiba help you. And, if you need anything else, I can also mobilize my army to help you pacify the two gangs under the guise of quelling the rebels. Ye Feng said.

"Good! Within a year, I will definitely include all the underworld forces in the capital into the hands of Qinghuo. The soul shadow nodded heavily.

Ye Feng said "En" softly, did not speak again, and looked out of the carriage again.

At this moment, a thin figure came into view. I saw a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old looking for something in the abandoned dilapidated house, her thin body was shaking in the snow, and her hands were swollen from the cold. However, she continued to rummage, and after a while, she finally found a moldy bone, which must have been brought by some animal. The little girl excitedly wiped her clothes and stuffed them into her mouth.

"Stop!" Ye Feng shouted.

Ye Xiaodao pulled the reins of the horse, and the carriage stopped. Ye Feng jumped out of the carriage, walked straight to the little girl's side, and snatched the moldy bone in her hand.

The little girl glanced at Ye Feng in fear, but after all, she couldn't withstand the suffering of hunger, and said tremblingly, "Can you change it for me?" ”

Ye Feng glanced at the little girl, and saw that she was very delicate, but her face was a little sallow, so she should be hungry. Ye Feng threw the bone aside and said, "That bone is already broken and can't be eaten." Knife, take down what I eat in the car. ”

Ye Xiaodao answered and brought the food. Ye Feng took it, handed it to the little girl, and said, "Eat!" ”

The little girl looked at Ye Feng blankly, saw that he didn't have the slightest malice, thanked him, and hurriedly took the food and ate it in a big gulp.

"Eat slowly, don't choke. What is your name? Ye Feng asked.

"My name is Erya!" The little girl said a little slurred as her mouth was stuffed with food.

Ye Xiaodao on the side saw the little girl like this, and couldn't help but think of himself, a few days ago, he was not like this, starving. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel great sympathy for the little girl.

"Where's your mom and dad?" Ye Feng asked.

Hearing Ye Feng ask about his parents, Erya stopped, his nose was sore, and tears flowed down his eyes, "My parents are dead, and Erya is left alone." ”

"How did they die?" Ye Feng continued to ask.

"They were beaten to death, those people are so fierce. Er Ya was knocked unconscious by them, and when she woke up, her parents were already dead, and there was a fire all around, Er Ya finally ran out, and now she hasn't eaten for three days. Erya said sadly. At this time, no one noticed that a cold glint flashed in Ye Xiaodao's eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Feng said, "Will you follow my brother in the future?" Brother will take care of you, and no one can bully you anymore. ”

"Really? The second girl is willing, a slave and a maid, and serves the young master for the rest of her life. Erya said excitedly.

Ye Feng listened to her talk a bit like a person who had read a book, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Er Ya has read books before?" ”

"Well, Erya's father is a gentleman in a private school, so Erya studied with his father for a few years." Erya replied.

Nodding, Ye Feng said, "Let's go, follow me in the car, and I'll take you back." After speaking, he took Erya's hand and walked towards the carriage. He glanced back at the soul shadow and said, "Who did it?" Tell me! ”

Soul Shadow nodded and followed.

After returning to the garden, Ye Feng took Erya and walked towards the house. Sun Yan, Xiao Qian, and Ke'er couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Ye Feng come back with a little girl covered in tatters. Sun Yan walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong with her?" ”

Ye Feng turned his head to Ke'er and said, "Ke'er, take her to take a shower and change her clothes." ”

Ke'er answered, came over and took Erya's hand and walked inside. Ye Feng took Sun Yan's hand and briefly told him what had happened. After listening to him, Sun Yan sighed softly and said, "What a poor child, Brother Feng, we will take good care of her in the future, and we will treat her as our own sister." ”

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said, "Sister Yan, don't think nonsense, I just saw her pitiful, and I couldn't help but think of my past." When I return to the palace, I will ask my father to accept her as a righteous daughter, and I will not have to suffer like that in the future. ”

Sun Yan said: "That's fine. Hey, but this is a palliative solution after all, and people like her in the Celestial Star Dynasty are afraid that there are not 10,000, but 8,000. ”

Ye Feng said: "I know that the party struggle in the imperial court is becoming more and more intense, and all forces are ready to move, and the wind and rain are coming." Sister Yan, today I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and met Bingcen. ”

"Bingcen? Isn't your whereabouts revealed? Sun Yan said in surprise.

Smiling slightly, Ye Feng said, "Don't worry, I've already convinced Bingcen that he has also promised to help me eliminate the Lin Long family." Then, Ye Feng told what had happened, and asked again, "Sister Yan, you won't blame me, right?" ”

Sun Yan shook her head and said, "Even if you make me the queen in the future, I won't agree." Anyway, I'm a widow, and if you make me queen, there will be a lot of opposition from the officials. Actually, as long as I can be with you, I don't care if I have a reputation or not. ”

Ye Feng's heart moved, and he hugged Sun Yan into his arms.

Not long after, Ke'er led Erya out, who had already changed her clothes. After grooming and dressing up, Erya became a lot more refreshed, but her eyes were still a little trembling and frightened, and only when she looked at Ye Feng would she look very calm.

Ye Feng looked at Erya and said, "In the future, you will call Ye Qing, okay?" I hope that your future days will always be tomorrow, sunny and worry-free. ”

Erya nodded heavily and said, "In the future, Erya will be called Ye Qing, thank you, brother." ”

Ye Feng smiled slightly, and said to Sun Yan: "I will trouble you to take care of her in the future, and teach her to write when you have time." I'll go find Qianyu first, and I'll cook for you myself in the evening. ”

"You're cooking?" Sun Yan said in astonishment.

Ye Feng smiled noncommittally, turned around and walked out. Sun Yan was still looking at Ye Feng's back blankly, stunned. Xiao Qian heard Ye Feng say that she wanted to cook herself, and couldn't help but say to Sun Yan excitedly: "Sister Sun, you don't know yet, right?" The prince's cooking skills are inferior to even those imperial chefs of the court. Since the last time I ate the dishes made by the prince, I didn't feel like anything I ate, but I didn't expect the prince to cook it himself today, it seems that we are stained with the light of Qing'er's sister. As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Qing with a smile.

Ye Qing blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "Big brother is the crown prince?" ”

Sun Yan nodded and said, "Yes, he is the current prince." He took you as a sister, and you will be a princess from now on. ”

Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, this stimulation was too great, and the change in life was so fast. A few days ago, his parents died and he became an orphan; But a few days later, she became the princess of the dynasty.

Ye Feng walked outside the door and glanced at Ye Xiaodao, who was guarding outside, only to see his eyes drifting into the house from time to time. Ye Feng followed his gaze, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slip a smile. "Let's go, accompany me to Qianyu, and I should officially teach you martial arts." Ye Feng said.
