At the foot of the mountain, the sound of weaving and weaving is intertwined, and a quarter moon is enveloped in thin clouds, full of clear light. There are six or seven tents set up on the grass, and the outer tents are in the shape of plum blossoms, which just protect the two tents in the middle.

One of the windows in the middle of the two tents, there was still a faint light peeking out, and the owner was clearly not asleep. In the light moonlight, a black shadow suddenly appeared in another tent that had been turned off, the size of a wolf, but the slender waist looked like a fox, it quietly approached the tent with the lights on, and suddenly got into it.

Ye Xiaotian was sitting under the lamp, sipping tea without a sip. On the eve of leaving the capital, Lin Siyan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly paid a slight visit, which surprised Ye Xiaotian, but what Lin Shilang said next surprised him even more.

Ye Xiaotian always thought that the imperial court was unwary of Yang Yinglong, but he didn't want the imperial court not only to know Yang Yinglong's ambitions for a long time, but also to take precautions. Li Hualong, the governor of Sichuan, and Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Guizhou, have begun to lay a net for Banzhou.

Lin Siyan told him that as soon as Yang Yinglong's objection was revealed, the imperial court would deal a heavy blow. However, as soon as the war starts, it will inevitably be ruined, and if it has to be a last resort, the imperial court still hopes to solve this matter at the lowest cost.

Therefore, the imperial court attaches great importance to Ye Xiaotian, and Lin Siyan hopes that he can use his identity as a toast to cooperate with the imperial court to eradicate Yang Yinglong. For example, using his identity as a member of the Tusi to spy on Yang Yinglong's details, and using his identity as a member of the Tusi to understand which of the more than 100 Tusi in Guizhou are Yang Yinglong's sworn friends.

For another example, when Li Hualong and Ye Mengxiong completed the internal integration and began to encircle Yang Yinglong, they could cooperate with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and they could also use his status as a toast to persuade the local toasts to be loyal to the imperial court as much as possible and assist in quelling the rebellion.

In return, the imperial court would acquiesce to some of his reckless actions. When he expanded the territory and power of Woniu Mountain, he gave him certain convenience and support. Ye Xiaotian was thrilled when he heard this, and almost agreed without hesitation.

From ancient times to the present, those who have achieved business that is rich and rival the country have the closest relationship with the imperial court; Those who can become the overlord of one party have the closest relationship with the imperial court; Those who can become a family that retires with the country also have the closest relationship with the imperial court.

In the world of red dust, if you want to soar, you can't do without this behemoth who holds the highest power. So far, Ye Xiaotian has really firmly controlled the only place in Woniu Mountain. Although he is very prosperous in Tongren. But that's because he didn't encroach on the territory of the Tongren Tusi.

He tried to rely on Tongren to invade Shiqian, but what was the result? The Yang family, the Zhan family, and the Cao family reacted violently, and it had reached the point of not dying. But if he doesn't expand his territory, he may be able to shine for a while with his fledgling spirit, but the descendants of the Ye family will definitely be out of the crowd.

According to Ye Xiaotian's most optimistic estimate, if he spares no effort to expand in his life and does not suffer major setbacks, he can have a territory as large as the Tongren Zhang clan before him in thirty years. As for wanting to continue to expand and become a figure at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings, it is simply wishful thinking.

Because, that doesn't just take several lifetimes of accumulation. It also needs external opportunities to break the existing political pattern in Guizhou, so that the Ye family can stand out. Otherwise, as a member of the Tusi Group, as a part of this network of Tuguan, it is impossible to jump out.

But all this is everything. It's all about putting the imperial court out of it, once the imperial court is in it and can make good use of it. The vicissitudes of life will change. Ye Xiaotian was seriously thinking about how to make good use of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity all the way, so although he was tired of traveling, he was also nervously thinking about it when he rested.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Xia Yingying came in like a puppy, Ye Xiaotian suddenly realized it, and before he could see her, he smiled.

Although there are only five tents set up around him, the people who protect him openly and secretly are not limited to the warriors in those five tents, and there is only one person who can quietly get into his tent, and it is naturally Miss Xia Yingying. Along the way, Ye Xiaotian's guards were used to this kind of trick, so whenever they saw her creeping over, they only treated her as air.

"Sneaking in again!"

Ye Xiaotian greeted him with a smile: "Be careful to let my aunt see it, the image I pretended to be with great difficulty will be completely destroyed in your hands." ”

Xia Yingying got up from the ground, glanced at him delicately, and said: "I have no conscience, and people are sleepy, but I still have to wait for my mother to sleep before coming to see you, and you still talk about people." The man went back. ”

Xia Yingying said that she was about to leave, but Ye Xiaotian grabbed her, pulled her back into her arms, and leaned over to kiss her. Xia Yingying turned her face in disgust, and said negatively: "If you don't kiss or kiss, people ......."

Before she could finish her sentence, a cold arrow swooped through the tent and shot in. The arrow was extremely powerful, penetrating the heavy tabernacle, and it was still full of strength, and it should be a crossbow arrow that could penetrate heavy armor. Coincidentally, this strong arrow happened to graze the cheeks of the two of them and shot over, and the arrow tail rubbed a blood line on Ye Xiaotian's face.

Xia Yingying's strong wind blew her face, her tender cheeks ached, and when she turned her head to see Ye Xiaotian's appearance, she couldn't help but scream.

"Silence!"

Ye Xiaotian roared urgently, hugged Xia Yingying, and rolled away on the ground......

"What the hell is going on?"

The lights in Luo Ligao's carriage and horse shop were bright, and the tycoon questioned Sun Weixuan with a gloomy face.

The tycoon, who has already started a family and has a wife and children, still looks like he is not very funny in front of Ye Xiaotian, but in front of his subordinates, he has already established the majesty of the superior.

Sun Weixuan, the chief steward of Luo Li's high-ranking carriage and horse company, knelt in front of the tycoon, his face full of shame. He propped his hands on, his knotted arm muscles stretched like rocks, obviously suppressing anger, the handsome face with a smile often hung with a twisted hatred, and said heavily: "The subordinates are incompetent, and regard Tang Hansan and Yan Shuizhen as good brothers, but who expected them to be bought by the Zhan family with a lot of money, and they actually betrayed the owner......"

Sun Weixuan gasped twice, and said hatefully: "The subordinates have sent people around to inquire about their news, and also asked Gao Li and the two young village masters to launch a search for the cottage people, they are carrying a large number of baggage, and they will not escape far." ”

Tang Hansan and Yan Shuizhen were the two stewards of Luo Li Gao's carriage and horse shop, and they were the same as Sun Weixuan at the beginning. are all ordinary guys, because of their friendship with Sun Weixuan, after Sun Weixuan was reused by the tycoon, the two of them also soared.

Nowadays, the tycoon's business is mainly to do shops, and Gao and Li, the two young village owners, are not business materials at all, so this carriage and horse shop is actually completely presided over by Sun Weixuan. Luo Li Gao's carriage and horse shop has become a well-known carriage and horse shop on this post road, and the business is busy, where can Sun Weixuan be busy, then Tang Hansan and Yan Shuizhen have become his left and right hands.

According to the theory, Luo Li Gao did not treat them badly. The salary given to them is very generous, but the price paid by Zhanlong is even higher, and the wealth is moving, so he actually persuaded these two people to make a heart and take refuge in the Zhan family, and the batch of materials escorted by them disappeared without a trace.

The tycoon slapped the table heavily and shouted, "Confused! Do they need to get the supplies away, just burn the heavy loads and burn them to the end! ”

Cold sweat trickled down Sun Weixuan's forehead: "My subordinates should be damned." The subordinates are willing to die to apologize! ”

This batch of materials was undertaken by Luo Li Gao's carriage and horse company, and the employer was the chief of the cow lawsuit. Luo Daheng and Ye Xiaotian are brothers, and it is one thing whether people chase them or not, but according to the rules of the industry. Luo Li Gao's carriage and horse dealer collected a lot of money to transport this batch of goods for people, but the goods were not only lost, but also stolen by the people of the carriage and horse dealership, and must be compensated in full. This is the morality of the rivers and lakes, otherwise, even if the lawsuit of the Lying Niu is not pursued for Ye Xiaotian's sake, Luo Li will not have to open the carriage and horse shop. Because the sign has been smashed.

Of course, Sun Weixuan understands the stakes, the owner trusts him so much, but he causes the owner to go bankrupt, how can he not be ashamed of himself. Sun Weixuan said a word, reached out to his waist, grabbed the handle of the knife and pulled it hard, and turned the sharp blade across his neck with his backhand.

With a "dang" sound, Hua Yunfei slashed out at the right time, and the tip of the knife hit Sun Weixuan's blade, scraping a bloody mark under his chin.

Hua Yunfei said coldly: "As soon as you die, will you be able to solve the problem of carriages and horses?" You are most familiar with this post road, Tang Hansan and Yan Shuizhen are also the most familiar with them, whether you can find them depends on you! ”

Luo Tycoon said: "Not bad! Such a large amount of military baggage, if they were burned, would definitely be discovered. No one has found out where the fire started now, so it shows that they don't want to burn the material, so you still have a chance to redeem it! ”

This batch of materials is the largest batch of materials purchased by Woniuling, once it falls into the hands of the enemy, it will be one and the other, and the balance of strength will immediately change the situation. Moreover, this material cost a lot of money, and it was also a wealth that could not be ignored for the Gu Sect who owned a gold mine. Even if there is a gold mine, you have to dig for sand in big waves to get gold, right?

What is particularly headache is that in addition to a lot of medicinal materials, there are also a large number of military supplies, arrows, knives and guns, armor, and even gunpowder, which are all shady things, and the seller does not have much inventory in his hand.

Fighting a war is not just about piling up people with morale and combat strength, and military baggage plays a very important role in it. However, these materials are all contraband, and Bai Hong and Bai Zhixian can pretend to be deaf and dumb in front of Ye Xiaotian, but it is impossible to send people and set up checkpoints to help them track down the case of "black eating black".

They were unable to report or file a case, so they could only use their own strength, which invisibly added a lot of difficulty to find out the whereabouts of this batch of materials.

Hua Yunfei's eyebrows were raised like swords: "Since they are reluctant to burn this batch of baggage, they will definitely transport it away, and if they want to transport it, it is nothing more than two roads: water and land." We check and block at the same time, as long as they don't know how to carry the five ghosts, I don't believe they fly with wings! ”

"I see!"

Sun Weixuan showed a resolute look on his face, and said to Luo Daheng: "Don't worry, the subordinates will definitely find out their whereabouts and recover the captured materials!" If you can't do it, I'd like to see you! ”

Sun Weixuan kowtowed heavily to Luo Daheng, and Huo Di stood up and strode out. Sun Weixuan walked out of the main hall of Luo Li's high-ranking carriage and horses, raised his eyes to look at the crescent moon in the sky, and suddenly revealed a trace of light that was clearer than the moonlight in his eyes.
