Chapter 1179: Rich Merchant
Ye Cheng looked at the army practicing martial arts in front of him dumbfounded, if it weren't for the fact that these people were personally recruited by him, he thought that his eldest brother had changed a group of people.
But isn't this the equivalent of a new batch of people? Where can the imposing and high-spirited soldiers in front of him see the hungry and impoverished appearance of a month ago?
Especially in their eyes, there is the hope of life, the fighting spirit of battle, and the indomitable physique, Ye Cheng now sincerely admires his brother, how did he do this?
"Second master, the head of the family is inside." The captain of the first team stepped forward.
Ye Cheng looked suspicious: "How do you know me?" ”
"Back to the second master, has the head of the family recognized the portrait for us, do you need me to take you there?"
"No, you can continue to contact, I'll go in and find my brother by myself." Ye Cheng was in a trance all the way over, obviously he had been here when he was building here, but why was it completely different from what he imagined?
The building is still the original building, but the overall style has changed, the most significant thing is the spirit of these people, one by one is no longer cloudy eyes, one by one is no longer whispering just to ask for a bite to eat, even the children playing on the side of the road have laughter, not as silent as when they came just now, their eyes reveal fear.
The women in the cottage are doing all kinds of chores in an orderly manner, talking about their respective men, and talking about where there are wild vegetables in the mountains.
Seeing him coming, they all greeted him very respectfully, which was the kind of respect from the heart.
Ye Cheng now seems to have an ant crawling in his heart, he just wants to know how his eldest brother has transformed these people in just one month, if he says that these people have been raised with wealth since childhood, he will believe it.
"Why are you here?" Ye Qiu walked out of the inner room, followed by two young boys, looking no more than twelve or thirteen years old, but his eyes were very sharp, seeing his face, the two teenagers clasped their fists and saluted.
"Ye Mo and Ye Sen have seen the second master."
The temperament of these two teenagers is really outstanding, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them looked exactly the same, Ye Cheng would almost not recognize them, he remembered that there was only a pair of twins among the people he recruited at the beginning, two fatherless and motherless, skinny skinny, because they were too thin at the time, and they actually did not meet Ye Cheng's recruitment requirements.
But there was a strong desire to survive in the eyes of the two of them, Ye Cheng couldn't bear to look at it, thinking that if he didn't take it in, these two children would probably only starve to death, he thought to himself, if the eldest brother didn't want it, he would stay and be two miscellaneous people, but he didn't expect that he hadn't seen him for just a month, and he didn't know each other!
Not only did he grow flesh, but he also grew taller, and his eyes became more tenacious, not at all like what a twelve or thirteen-year-old child had.
Ye Cheng showed a pleased smile: "Yes, it's very good." ”
Ye Qiu also nodded with satisfaction: "You have a good eye, Ye Mo and Ye Sen's talents are very good." ”
Ye Cheng was even happier: "Big brother, it's good that you're satisfied, the recruitment process is still going on, everything that can be recruited in Jing'an City is almost done, and it may take some time to recruit from the outside." ”
"Well, you're doing a good job, but it's not worth reporting to me personally."
Speaking of this, Ye Cheng's face suddenly turned ugly, and he lowered his head and said angrily: "Big brother, I'm here to admit my mistake to you." ”
"Ye Lu escaped?" Ye Qiu's face didn't even change.
Ye Cheng was even more embarrassed: "Big brother, you expected it a long time ago?" It's all my fault for being too careless, I thought that she, as the Ye family's young lady, should consider the overall situation, not so bold, obviously you have already reminded me, big brother, but I still ignored it, big brother, you punish me. ”
Ye Qiu looked at his second brother's ashamed face, and sighed faintly: "It's good that you recognize your mistakes, remember, we are doing a big thing to compete with all kinds of heroes, any small mistake is enough to make us fatal, no matter how inconspicuous and close that person is to us in the future, as long as there is a trace of doubt in our hearts, we can't underestimate it." ”
"Yes, big brother, I know." This time, Ye Cheng really learned a lesson, and he also realized the end of his contempt, and he would never do it again in the future.
Seeing his second brother's eyes, Ye Qiu knew that Ye Cheng heard it, and it was not in vain that he didn't kill Ye Lu directly, although Ye Lu was likely to cause him trouble in the future, but a loyal and careful second brother who did things properly was more important to him.
"And what about our stepmother?"
"I also went with them, and I also took away their private rooms, thanks to Brother Xin, you have already ordered me to keep an eye on the Li family's people, so you didn't let them take more things."
"Business hasn't been affected, has it?"
"No, and it has gradually turned into darkness according to your instructions, eldest brother, and I have arranged all the clansmen, if the people of the King of Donghe and the King of Linshan come to seek revenge, we will definitely have enough time to transfer."
"Very well done, if necessary, I didn't rush back in time, you can go to the city lord of Liu."
Ye Cheng was taken aback: "Lord Liucheng? Will he help us? ”
"If he doesn't help, there is no way, after all, the king of Donghe doesn't trust him anymore, maybe there will be a new city lord to take office soon, send someone to keep an eye on it at all times, if you find someone sent by the king of the east river, immediately disguise yourself as a bandit to intercept and kill, and by the way, spread the news that our stepmother and third sister were intercepted by bandits when they went to the temple outside the city to offer incense."
Ye Cheng opened his mouth, and finally nodded and promised: "Big brother, I will never let it have any mistakes in what you explain this time." ”
"After the news of the stepmother and the third sister being intercepted and killed by the bandits, a funeral ceremony was held, and the clansmen were told that no matter if they saw anyone similar to them in the future, they would not be able to recognize that the Li family and Ye Lu were already dead, and if they took the initiative to find the door, they would be spies sent by the enemy, so you don't have to be polite."
"Yes, I see."
At this moment, Ye Lu and her mother Li Dezhen got into a rickety carriage, and she lifted the curtain from time to time to look back, both afraid that someone would come and hope that someone would catch up.
She never regretted escaping from home, she never regretted following the people of the King of Linshan to Linshan Mansion alone, because she knew that the King of Linshan in this world was the male protagonist, and only by holding her thighs could she live arbitrarily in this war-torn world.
It's not that she doesn't know the truth of hiring a wife and going as a concubine in the ancient world, but she is originally a side concubine, and she is not a wife, so what's the difference?
And only the final victory is considered a victory, she doesn't believe that people like her appearance, she knows the plot like this, and she knows the future knowledge like she will not be valued by the King of the Mountain, so she must replace the heroine and become the most important woman of the King of the Mountain.
As for the Ye family, it's not that she is ruthless, but that the eldest brother is too stupid and has been on guard against himself for a long time, so don't blame herself for not reminding them!
She secretly said in her heart, if the eldest brother finds him in time and decides to pay all the family property to attach himself to the king of the mountain from now on, she will not care about the past suspicions, if she abandons herself or sends someone to recover it, then she can only put her own interests first.
