The wind lamp is tall, and in the corner of the backyard of the hundred households, the light is dazzling under the high wall, and the two corpses curled up on the stucco floor are thrown in place, and there are large pools of sticky blood on the ground; Two skinny earth dogs lay not far away, their eyes occasionally raised, flashing a few bits of green in the darkness.

The merchants sold to Wang Dali, not only did they have all kinds of materials, but even chickens and dogs were also brought over, if it weren't for Xiao Ye's worry that he would be robbed, maybe he would have sold some people.

Looking at the situation in front of him, his precautions were right.

The few earth dogs raised in the hundred households don't look very imposing, but the caretaker is a good helper for the guards, so this time, if the dogs hadn't barked first, the guards who couldn't patrol would have been killed and injured.

The two sharp waist knives had no mark, and the corpse was dressed in ordinary black, and even its appearance was quite mediocre, and no foreign objects were found. Standing in front of him and glancing at it a few times, Xiao Ye stopped looking at the tattered corpse, and soon went to the medical hall.

The visitor avoided the patrol of the guards on the other side of the fort wall, and entered the fort through the gap, but he didn't expect that he had just climbed into the high wall of the hundred houses, and was discovered by the earth dog in the dark.

The guards were killed and five wounded, if it weren't for the close-fitting protective clothing on their bodies, I am afraid that the guards of this squad would not even have the opportunity to draw their guns.

Needless to say, those who were so eager to kill themselves either wanted to die themselves, or they were still eyeing the Persian goods.

In the hall in the front yard, Xiao Ye sat on a chair, his eyes staring at the lamps and candles on the table, uncertain, even Wang Dali, Wang Ziliang and others who came in a hurry didn't care to say hello.

The information that suddenly appeared in his mind made his heart shake, and he actually had a feeling of unreality.

Tonight, in my mind, I had an inexplicable identity in my mind: the logistics officer, and he was only one of the seven logistics officers; Fortunately, the remaining six chips, due to the lack of several rare raw materials, I am afraid that the processing center can no longer take out.

However, with the emergence of the post of logistics chief, a stone mill and a T-shaped stone mill appeared again in the civilian catalogue of the processing center.

The function of this kind of stone grinding, after Xiao Ye roughly saw it, was already creepy, although he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes, he still calmly withdrew from the picture, and his face was indifferent.

Staring at the candlelight in a daze, Xiao Ye couldn't hide the horror in his heart, his expression was a little sluggish, in the eyes of Wang Dali and the others, he was suddenly assassinated tonight, and he was a little surprised, but he didn't expect anything else.

Seeing that Xiao Ye was safe and sound, he was still in a daze, and finally came to Xin Weilin in the Hundred Households, muttered for a while, whispered to the others, and went outside to guard.

"The primary military product is actually for the servant armament, the intermediate military product is the auxiliary armament ration for the logistics chief, and the high-level military product can't be used, Si,"

"In the primary military products, there is an extra elixir, but it is extremely useful,"

Who is the real owner of this A-brand stone mill? Thinking of Uncle Kun's words before he died, Xiao Ye's heart was cold, and he didn't feel how lucky he was.

The machining center, which was seriously chaotic in the program, gave such information abruptly, so that Xiao Ye couldn't help but shudder when he looked at his wrist; The place with a slight scar on the left wrist, at some point, a blue-gray pattern appeared.

A five-pointed star the size of a copper coin, such a simple tattoo, in the dim candlelight, looks very ordinary, but on Xiao Ye's back, a layer of cool fine sweat suddenly appeared.

If it weren't for the two men in black who appeared tonight, he might have regarded this information in his mind as a nightmare, and avoided it from afar.

It's two people this time, how many will there be next time, five people? Fifty people? It was still five hundred, but in any case, he couldn't make up his mind.

"Cang," Xiao Ye, who pulled out the hunting knife from his waist, looked hideous, held the knife in his right hand, stared at his left wrist, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, just wanting to cut the slightly bulging five-pointed star with a knife.

The sharp blade was cool, and when it was about to slash on the skin, Xiao Ye trembled violently, but he couldn't hold the handle of the knife.

Subconsciously, he could perceive that if he didn't care about ripping out that chip, maybe the A-shaped stone mill that he had pinned infinite hopes on would disappear; Even, that Shiguantun will be blown into a huge stone pit with the disappearance of the stone mill.

"Is it an opportunity? Or enslaved? Is it to flee far away, or to use this to increase strength, even if you are enslaved, you will admit it," the intertwined and contradictory thoughts kept rolling in his mind, and the tip of the knife shone faintly cold in the candlelight.

"Ah, husband, don't do stupid things," With an exclamation, Mei'er and Tian Xiuxiu staggered into the hall, and knelt in front of Xiao Ye with a pale face.

Xiao Ye, who was in a daze, heard the sad sound of his wife and concubine in his ears, which made him suddenly sober up, and when his eyes gradually became cold, "Dang Chang," the hunting knife fell under his feet.

"Husband, before you leave, don't forget the three of us," Mei'er, who was like rain in tears, reached out and grabbed the heavy hunting knife, hugged it tightly in her arms, and kept shaking her head with her head down.

Looking at the copper hairpin on Mei'er's bun, Xiao Ye's heart was slightly sour, there were 10,000 taels of silver in the accounts of the hundred households, and a large amount of materials were in stock, but the three women did not reach out to ask for it, but silently stayed by their side, and the food and clothing were so simple that they were like ordinary military households; He was reluctant to let go of this feeling, and he couldn't let go.

"Hey," sighed in his heart, Xiao Ye got up and walked to the two girls and squatted down, stretched out his arms and hugged them, "Even if I am enslaved, I want to see which immortal fell to the ground, and the famous hall that wants to do something here,"

Xiao Ye, who had made up her mind, persuaded the two girls with good words, but the hunting knife was taken away directly by Mei'er, and she said that she would not let Xiao Ye bring the knife with her tonight.

Sitting back in his chair, Xiao Ye stabilized his mind and said in a deep voice outside the hall, "Several, come in, we have something to do,"

Calling a few people waiting outside, Xiao Ye picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in ink and brushed two pieces of paper, and directly began to release the task.

"Wang Ziliang, this is a list of medicines, buy as many medicinal materials as you want, the more the merrier, buy at three times the price, you can inform all the merchants, contact Huang Fugui of Gravel Castle,"

"Uncle Wang, inform Cui Hongyuan, arrange for someone to follow the knife to pull the goods, this time the goods are heavier, be careful not to hurt your hands and feet, you bring someone to help with the knife,"

"Brother Sanxing, let Miao Biwu's home guard send capable men, tomorrow, oh, that is, this afternoon, escort a few carriages to Eagle Claw Fort, where another mill will be set up," Looking at the sky outside, Xiao Ye's face was indifferent, "Zuo Shi's home guard will escort him,"

"Inform Eagle Claw Fort Liu Shuihe, pick up along the way,"

His serious look was rarely seen before, and the four of them knew that they didn't dare to be careless, so they responded to the military order of the hundred households.

Wang Ziliang took the letter paper handed by Xiao Ye, and looked up to see that the Chinese medicinal materials written on it were not only varied, but also the number of hundreds of households, but also those who came.

Ginseng, Astragalus, Cypress, Yam, Licorice, Jujube, Honey, Deer Antler, Morinda Morinda Psoralen, Nootropic, Cuscuta Seed, Sha Yuanzi, Eucommia, Eucommia, Angelica, Rehmannia Multiflorum, Polygonum Multiflorum, White Peony, Goji Berry, Lily Wheat, Winter Dendrobium, Dendrobium, Yuzhu, Yellow Essence, Ink, Dry Lotus, Ligustrum, These medicinal materials he has heard of, are nothing more than the medicine that tonifies blood and yin.

But on the second piece of paper, it was written that Coptis chinensis was written, indicating that it must be the three Coptis trees in front of the Shiguantun Land Temple, and he couldn't understand the fruits they bore and the more they were, the better.

As for the last vine grass stinger, Wang Ziliang directly stared at him, and he now knew that the stinger turned out to be a medicinal herb, good guy, Baihu even knew this.

The Coptis tree in front of the Shiguantun Land Temple, because of the rumors of the military households and craftsmen earlier, no one dared to go to the tree to pick that large amount of fruit, from last year to now, the fruit on the tree is knotted, but it has not fallen, this situation has made the incense in the land temple more vigorous during the solar term.

At noon the next day, when the Aman horse team sent by Eagle Claw Fort caught up with the team sent by Madao Stone Fort from afar, even Aman, who had always been strange, was very surprised by the two carriages escorted by more than 100 armed guards.

However, he was only a newly promoted fifty captains, and most of the Tartar cavalry under his command had not yet left the status of a hundred slaves, so he could only be careful and cautiously escorted the carriage back to Eagle Claw Fort.

Wang Dali, on the military order of the Hundred Households, has already erected a notice on the side of the Madao checkpoint to purchase Chinese herbal medicines.

And Wang Ziliang also asked Zhang Zichang to send someone to inform Huang Fugui of Gravel Fort through the letter whistle and began to purchase nearly thirty kinds of medicinal materials in large quantities; The coptis tree in front of the temple of the land, after Zhang Zi grew up to worship the incense, he personally climbed up to pick the fruit on it.

As for the vine grass stinger, as long as the Shi family shop in the Madao Stone Fort issued a purchase notice, the old military households and craftsmen who had their own idleness carefully waved their sickles in the wasteland outside the fort and began to collect.

Eagle Claw Fort, Miao Biwu and Zuo Shi led the team, and after sending the two carriages to the fort, they left a craftsman and returned to the Madao Stone Fort non-stop; Liu Shuihe supervised a dozen sturdy domestic guards, and moved the curved strips into the newly selected mill in the fort.

This underground mill near the exit of the secret passage is not small, more than fifteen steps in length and width, more than one person high, but it is wet and there is no light, and it has been empty.

Baihu explained in the letter post that he had to choose an inconspicuous room that was not commonly used, and the guards should be convenient and strict, and Liu Shuihe chose it under Huang Hanxiang's suggestion.

Under the beckoning of the craftsmen sent by the hundred households, the guards transported the curved strips into the T-shaped mill, and the interconnected strips were made of unknown raw materials, which looked black and sturdy, and they were even heavier in their hands and needed to be carried by two people.

The assembled strips are stacked layer by layer, like a round granary in the mill, straight up to the height of more than a person, and the strange thing is that the so-called stone mill in the hollow inside has no cap and no opening.

"All right, let's all go out when we are done," said the craftsman, muttering a few times after taking care of the work at hand, beckoning everyone out of the mill; He didn't know what the use of this kind of stone grinding in the hundred households should be.

It looks like an object for children to play with.

The wind lamp was carried out, the door was closed, and the mill was in the dark, and on this small black round granary, there were a few blue lights, and a few pipes extending from the C-shaped stone mill under the ground were connected to this strange-looking fellow again.

The two guards guarding outside the mill did not expect that in the room separated by a door, the round granary had changed at this time, and under the continuous swimming of the blue light arc around it, this small granary in everyone's eyes gradually began to expand and cap.

It wasn't until it expanded to occupy the stone house that the "granary" stopped wriggling, and a small black door appeared directly opposite the wooden door, with a delicate black handle on it.

If you push the door open by the guard, the stone mill will stop running, and once there are raw materials inside, after closing the door, the door will not open unless clean raw materials are consumed.

Just after the "granary" was formed, Liu Shuihe recklessly broke in, carrying a wind lamp, he walked around the room and hurriedly ran out; For some reason, standing in it, although he didn't feel stuffy, his hair was oozing and his hair stood on end.

"What is this called a mill, it's obviously a dark house, and there are no windows," Liu Shuihe went to the room of the communication team and went to Duan Damin to report to the hundred households. The "granary" inside is gone, he must inform the hundred households, and the others do not need to be left to ask, this is what the hundred households have specially explained in the letter post.

"The Black House? Oh, let's call it the Black House," Ma Dao Shibao, Xiao Ye in the backyard of the Hundred Households, has returned to normal, listening to Wang Ziliang's return, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes narrowed habitually; This black house is probably the biggest horror of his opponent.

Then, the only T-shaped stone mill cannot be called a stone mill, and it is secretly desirable to call it a black house.

"Order Liu Shuihe, send henchmen to guard the black house, those captured Tartar ranger spies, whether they live or die, will be locked up in the black house in the future, and others are never allowed to enter,"

"Those Tartars who were imprisoned made Liu Shuihe forget about them, they had never seen those Tartars before," Without thinking, Xiao Ye immediately issued a second military order.

Although he didn't understand the meaning of the military order of the hundred households, Wang Ziliang still nodded, shook the paper fan and bowed out of the backyard.

Huang Fugui received Xiao Ye's secret letter on the third day, the vendor with Xiao Ye's secret letter, a foot trader he was familiar with, hurriedly bought some corn and vegetables in his shop, left the copper coin and the secret letter, and left seriously.

Since he saw Ximen Xiao Ye's subordinates, who dared to intercept and kill the Ming officers and soldiers in broad daylight, Huang Fugui knew that he was completely in trouble, or he was in big trouble with his death.

After hiding at a friend's house for a while, Huang Fugui calmed down again when he heard that General Lei Zhengtang and his subordinates were blown up by Shaanxi Xingdu Division again; Ma Wuye grass is not fat, but if this poisonous grass is eaten, it will kill him, Lei Zhengtang just didn't open his eyebrows and looked at the wrong forage, and he died on the spot directly after taking it.

Back at the gravel fort, Huang Fugui, who had just recovered his spirits, saw Xiao Ye, who came to worship his parents during the Qingming Festival, suffered another disaster, and even the guards were outside the door of the Thousand Households, and several were killed on the spot.

Xiao Ye was sent to the grassland tribe, Lao Yangkou Tunbao and Shiguantun, and was cleared by Jinyi Wei like a remnant of the wind, and when the news came, Huang Fugui didn't think that Xiao Ye could escape this catastrophe.

The final result made him disappointed, but also faintly looked forward to it, at this time, as a wall grass, the benefits made Huang Fugui very proud.

The ban on the materials of the Madao Stone Fort issued by the Command and Envoy Division, in the eyes of businessmen like Huang Fugui, is just a trick that cannot be put on the table, and there is nothing in the world that businessmen cannot do, he firmly believes.

Sure enough, within a few days, the caravans that passed outside the Gravel Fort to Madao Stone Fort gradually increased, and the news brought back made Huang Fugui suddenly realize his business opportunities; The Madao Stone Fort, which was under the control of the steppe Tatars, not only set up checkpoints on the horse road, but also a large number of firefighters/gunners appeared.

For more than half a month, Huang Fugui was hoarding all kinds of materials while carefully inquiring about the news of Madao Stone Fort, and when he learned that the person who was dealing with the merchants here was actually the original Wang Si of Shiguantun, he completely understood.

Those Tartars obviously had a deal with Ximen Xiao Ye, maybe the relationship was quite good, otherwise they wouldn't have let the Ming people come forward to handle the business.

Huang Fugui didn't want to think about it, and he also speculated that this was the reason why the commander and the big merchants would not delve into Ximen Xiaoye for the time being.

Today, he finally waited for the news from the north, turned back to Huang Fugui in the back room of the shop, cautiously closed the door, opened the secret letter in the palm of his hand, and looked at it, he was really in a good mood.

There was a shortage of medicinal materials in Madao Stone Fort, and he didn't go to Tartar to buy it, so he put this large amount of business into his own hands, which suddenly made Huang Fugui feel excited to die as a kind of confidant; Of course, out of this room, no matter how violent the excitement is, it has to give way to reason.

He still doesn't see the future of Ximen Xiaoye, but it will never hinder the great business opportunity of making money.

It was not easy to collect so many medicinal materials in the gravel fort, but Xiao Ye offered three times the price, which was enough for Huang Fugui to use the pigeon letter to quickly notify the shops in Gansu Town, and began to buy all kinds of Chinese medicinal materials overnight.

"Peng, Peng," the phosphorite mining site east of Eagle Claw Fort sounded in the distance, causing the craftsmen who were buried in the mining to stop what they were doing and look into the depths of the grassland.

I don't know how many times this has been, but Aman's horse team, with the patrolling scout team, broke up a stream of Tartar rangers, whether they were dead or alive, tied to their horses and returned directly to the stone fort.

Sure enough, soon a black shadow flashed on the grassland, and hundreds of war horses dragged a faint cloud of smoke and dust into Huang Hanxiang's sight.

Huang Hanxiang, who was riding on a horse, turned his head and waved his hand at the craftsmen, and the big guys packed up their tools, jumped on the horse, pulled five fully loaded long fighting carriages, and slowly marched towards the stone fort to the west.

When a dozen soldiers in khaki field uniforms and a large group of Tartar cavalry in leather robes and short jackets roared past the craftsmen, the craftsmen cheered in bursts of applause.

Only Huang Hanxiang, who was sitting firmly on the horse, looked coldly at the corpses and captives tied up on the horses, and his eyebrows twitched slightly.

These dead and living Tartar captives were locked up in the dark "black room" one after another, and the room looked not small, but the careful Huang Hanxiang didn't see anyone sending water inside, let alone the dead inside.

The guards who were guarding outside in rotation, they were the sergeants that Liu Shuihe brought from Madao Stone Fort, and no one was allowed to enter the guards, and even Huang Hanxiang got close to see it, but he was stared at until he left.

That house has no windows and no back door, just an entrance, so, thinking of this, Huang Hanxiang was full of excitement, shook his head and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

In half a month, Huang Fugui finally sent the first batch of medicinal materials to Madao Shibao, and after passing through two tax cards, he knew why Ximen Xiaoye wanted to offer such a high price.

His movements seemed to be a little slower, and other merchants and vendors had already begun to transport medicinal materials to Madao Stone Fort.

Although he didn't see Xiao Ye in person, Huang Fugui, who entered the gate of the stone castle, was rarely greeted politely by Wang Ziliang and ate a light meal in the room, which made him even more grateful.

After the meal, after privately stuffing Huang Fugui with a pocket watch, Wang Ziliang pulled Huang Fugui, and the two hid in a military house, muttering for a while, Huang Fugui, whose face was complicated, still gritted his teeth and agreed to Wang Ziliang's request.

The consequences of not agreeing are unbearable for him, unless he runs back to the mainland and never shows up again.

In order to earn Xiao Ye's orders, for a large amount of money, Huang Fugui even dared to go to the grassland to find Tartars to trade, let alone this relatively safe business; Isn't it just to report the news from the gravel fort and Gansu town to Zhang Zichang, the chief flag officer of Shiguantun, in time, and it is also good to exchange it for a small amount of money.

Today is August 15, the day of family reunion, in the quiet night sky, a round of bright full moon, the breeze from the grassland, wrapped in a faint smell of grass across the air.

In the core area of Madao Stone Fort, Sun Xiaoming led his guards to block the mill area, and Dao Zi took two guards to get into the underground tunnel early and went to the underground of Shiguantun.

In the C-shaped mill, the lights were bright, and Cui Hongyuan led more than a dozen old craftsmen who were not young to put bags of Chinese herbal medicines with a strong medicinal fragrance into the stone mill in an orderly manner.

"Da-da, da-da," the stone mill turned steadily in the sound of heavy hooves of mules and horses, dozens of herbs, two large bags of Coptis chinensis from Shiguantun, and a bag of vine grass stingers collected by military households, hundreds of bags of various herbs like a hill, all of which were sent into the stone mill.

Xiao Ye, who had been standing quietly outside the mill, saw that the craftsmen inside were busy with the work in hand, and turned around and went back to the hundred households.

Seeing this, Sun Xiaoming left a few guards who were on guard outside the mill, and returned to the hundred households with more than 40 people. Since the assassins came to the Baihu Office a month ago, Xiao Ye's guards have obviously increased a lot.

With the support of Zuo Shi and Wang Meng, the sergeants of the hundred-man personal guard team have been fully formed, and now is not the time to be picky.

"Everyone, this is the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone has been busy for a while, hundreds of households have prepared moon cakes and fruits in the Shijia shop, each family has a share, we have an extra jar of wheat wine, each family will go back to rest after receiving it," Seeing that the hundred households were far away, Wang Dali couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to prepare to stop work.

The expression on Xiao Ye's face for a while, everyone can see that the faint resentment is said to be unlucky, and they have worked a lot more carefully.

In the backyard of the tightly guarded hundred households, Xiao Ye took his wife and concubine, kowtowed to the incense on the tablet of his parents on the table, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival worship, everyone sat under the moonlight, admiring the moon and tasting tea.

The clean stucco floor was spread with a straw mat, the piano case was placed, and a seven-stringed piano was placed on it, Tian Xiuxiu sat on the soft couch, and after cleaning his hands, he played the eighteen beats of the Hu Ji, although the mountains and rivers could not understand the white snow and snow in the white snow, but the light rhythm in the silk strings made him nervous, but it was a relief.

Three hours later, the knife hurried to the backyard with two capable guards, holding an iron box tightly in his arms.

Seeing the knife they came, and Xiao Ye was just closing his eyes and pondering, the third daughter knew that her husband had something to deal with, so she beckoned the maid back to the room. Without the pink wife and concubine by his side, Xiao Ye's soothing face became a lot more indifferent, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Lord Baihe, the knife is ordered," walked behind Baihe, and the knife knelt on one knee and carefully placed the box on the ground.

"Get up, it's been a hard trip," Xiao Ye got up, looked at the leader of the guards calmly, and waved his hand slightly, "Put things on the table,"

"Yes," the knife hurriedly got up and placed the iron box on the stone table, and took two steps back to stand.

"Daozi, why do you say that they have to work hard to force the official to protect themselves," Xiao Ye, who was hesitant, asked softly with his eyes fixed on the box, but seemed to be talking to himself.

"Lord Baihu, those dog officials, merchant landlords, can't see that we can eat well and wear good clothes, they only have their own silver money in their eyes, of course they are reluctant to take it out to our military households," a glimmer of light flashed in the knife's eyes, and said without hesitation, "Our brothers can't die in vain,"

"Yes, you can't die in vain, people can't be forgiven, this official has always remembered, remembered," the cheek bit and bitten, Xiao Ye slammed his foot, "Come, open the box,"

Under Xiao Ye's scorching gaze, the knife stepped forward, reached out and pressed the buckle of the iron box, and opened it casually; This kind of new thing, Xiao Ye has always let the guards take action, and he can't ruin his life because of curiosity.

Behind him, there were nearly a thousand men, women, and children, who had to be careful about everything.

In the inconspicuous small iron box, there was a dense square small partition, and there were thirty thumb-thick glass bottles inserted in it, Xiao Ye reached out and pinched one out and looked at the moonlight.

The inch-long medicine bottle was filled with brown powder, and I couldn't tell anything unusual.

Pulling out the cork on the mouth of the bottle, Xiao Ye pondered for a moment, "Give this official a knife,"

The knife then pulled out the hunting knife at his waist, and the blade rushed up and handed it over; Xiao Ye did not take the knife, but waved his hand, and his index finger wiped it on the blade.

Large drops of blood dripped into the bottle, and seeing the powder in the bottle, condensed into a small five-pointed star pill in the blink of an eye, Xiao Ye held down the wound and sent the bottle to the knife.

"Eat it," for Xiao Ye's order, the knife didn't even think about it, snapped the knife into the sheath, and caught the bottle; The crimson pill was poured out, and the knife opened its mouth and swallowed it.

Under the gaze of Xiao Ye and the two guards not far away, the knife's eyes were round, his face was flushed and he gasped for a few breaths, and there was a trace of heat on the top of his head, and the stinky sweat that gushed out from the thin summer uniform was quickly damp.

After a full time to catch half a cup of tea, the knife lay limp on the ground, and the beads of sweat dripping from his face and hair kept dripping.

"Come on, take the knife to a hot bath, and come back again when you have recovered your strength," called the two guards, carried the knife away, Xiao Ye looked at the fishy water stains on the ground, and nodded slightly, "Yes, it should be right,"

The primary powerful potion can be configured with a large number of Chinese medicinal materials, plus the essence and flesh of two large living people, or four flesh bodies that have just died, to develop and formulate a potion; And that drop of his own blood is to give the knife a spiritual imprint.

As long as he does not commit a massacre in the future, the knife will not betray Xiao Ye, and if he has the idea of betrayal, the imprint hidden in his body will make him suffer great torture, restless mental pain day and night, and will eventually torture the betrayer to death.

Therefore, Xiao Ye was extremely wary of this elixir, and it was also an obstacle for him to hesitate to use it. He was worried that one day, he would be pointed at and swallow this five-pointed star pill.

But the knife's unintentional words made Xiao Ye suddenly wake up, yes, there is no life, who avenges the unjustly killed brothers, and the hatred carried by his own family has not been avenged, so what is there to worry about, as long as he can live, it is better than anything.

Sitting alone at the stone table in the backyard, Xiao Ye drank herbal tea and quietly looked at the full moon in the sky, until an hour later, when the thin figure at the gate of the courtyard appeared in his eyes again, a smile finally appeared on his face.

changed into a knife in a clean uniform, and stood in front of Baihu with a high spirit.

"Bump, bump," after the four wooden stakes in the backyard that were erected on the ground and the thickness of their calves, and the knives that were swept by the fist, were smashed into two in one go, the excited leader of the guards ran to the open space under the high wall, lifted a hundred pounds of stone locks, and threw them up and down a few times, and then threw them on the ground with a bang.

Wang Dali had already followed the orders of the hundred households, and asked the craftsmen to use plaster and iron bars to make nine stone locks of different sizes, ranging from 100 catties to 900 catties, and slipped along the foot of the high wall.

"Lord Baihu, my subordinates now have at least more than one hundred and fifty pounds of strength, thank you for the reward," he quickly ran in front of Xiao Ye, his face was red and he knelt on his knees, and kowtowed.

After using the potion, not only did the strength of the knife skyrocket, but even his eyesight and hearing were also very keen, and he could see clearly the rich smile on Baihu's face in the night.

"Get up, my own brother, you don't need such a big gift in the future, just keep it in your heart,"

Xiao Ye, who was smiling, stepped forward and pulled up the knife, "Just make a show in front of outsiders, do you hear," The strength of the knife now should be more than one hundred and thirty catties, and after a few days to adapt to this sudden increase in strength, his strength will stabilize at about one hundred and seventy or eighty catties, which Xiao Ye knows through the information in his mind.

In other words, the knife increases the strength of a full hundred catties.

"Yes, obey your lordship's orders," the knife trembled with excitement, nodded vigorously, and the burning loyalty in his eyes made Xiao Ye's little worry completely dissipate.

A manly man, standing on the top of the sky and sitting on the ground, hesitating what to do. With a long breath of turbidity, Xiao Ye's eyes suddenly cleared, and his whole body was full of momentum.

"The official of your squad will give thirteen more potions, Sun Xiaoming, give fourteen, and everyone will use them tonight," the knife was successfully promoted to a first-order sergeant, which made Xiao Ye proud, and the increase in the strength of his subordinates meant more to him, not only did he have more strong men, but the impact of this would definitely have a shock in the family guard.

That's what he wanted. Without loyal subordinates, he is not far from being dead and dilapidated.

The remaining two potions were for himself tonight.

After the knife left, Xiao Ye took two potions, returned to his study, and after sending his guards to fill the barrel with hot water, he closed the door and left the room alone.

The brown powder that did not drip into the blood was poured into his mouth one after another, and after swallowing it with a mouthful of warm water, Xiao Ye's abdominal cavity ignited a stream of flame-like heat, which flowed rapidly to his limbs.

Pulling off his clothes and feeling the uncomfortable steaming of the knife, Xiao Ye got into the wooden barrel, gritted his teeth and let the bloody sweat flow all over his body, leaned his head on the edge of the barrel, and finally collapsed in the hot water.

If it weren't for the guards who only got half of the hot water, maybe Xiao Ye would have choked to death in his study.

The gradually cool hot water mixed the sweat stains left on Xiao Ye's body, but the skeletal muscles on his sturdy body did not show any abnormality.

In the early morning, most of the people in the stone fort were still asleep, except for the patrolling guards.

In the backyard of the Hundred Households, Xiao Ye pulled his hair in a bun at will, wore an earthy yellow field uniform, stepped on military boots, and was fiddling with stone locks in the open space; The two-hundred-pound stone lock was thrown high by him from time to time, and after he fell, he lightly flipped his wrist and grabbed it, and threw it again.

The guards who were waiting around, because of last night's sentry, did not enjoy the primary powerful potion, and looked at their own hundred households one by one in amazement, one holding a huge stone lock, and practicing their physical strength to their heart's content.

It turned out that those stone locks made of plaster were not put to see.

With the strength of two hundred catties, coupled with his own strength of seventy or eighty catties, Xiao Ye at this time was full of strength, if he didn't vent it, he didn't know what to do if he was so aggrieved, so he could only throw the stone lock again and again.

"It seems that we have to let Uncle Wang make some heavy knives, fifty catties is the best," while trying his best to throw the stone lock to a high place, Xiao Ye thought about making knives.
