Xia Huanfeng seemed to know that she would come, waiting in the hall, and when he saw her coming, he greeted her directly: "It's good that you're here, I didn't dare to go out." ”

Mingyi also had her own plans to come early, and the information she got from Wu Qianping was enough, so there was no need to go to the Tianyi Gang and the Shentu family to inquire. I'm afraid that asking around will push the past to the forefront, and it's not a good thing for anyone.

"Did you go to Tianyi Gang?" Ming Yi hurriedly asked as he followed him upstairs.

"I had someone send a post yesterday to visit today." Xia Huanfeng explained, "Gong Junhao is not the kind of person who will sit in the gang all day long and wait for someone to do something for him. I'm afraid that I have been busy patrolling with Ye personally recently to investigate the situation in Chang'an, and I rushed to go, and it was also a no-brainer. ”

"That's good." Ming Yi breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "I got a lot of news here, try not to alarm Gong Junhao and the Shentu brothers." I'm afraid that there will be a lot of things. ”

Xia Huanfeng responded: "If you already have news, that's the best." I also thought that if we went to find these descendants with great fanfare, I was afraid that it would cause speculation in the rivers and lakes. It is likely that there is a danger of revealing Xing Qing's identity. Xing Qing is a big treasure coveted by martial arts people, and the power of piano control skills is comparable to that of the army. ”

"Yes, no one knows that the Wei family still has descendants alive. We're keeping a low profile as well. Ming Yi took out the address written by Wu Qianping, "This is where Mrs. Xin and Mrs. Wang live now, and there is no news from the disciples of the Lin family." ”

Although Ming Yi has some speculation that Cheng Yan may be related to the disciples of the Lin family, he doesn't want to say it yet. Prepare this line and explore it yourself.

Xia Huanfeng was overjoyed: "There is such a definite news so soon, that contact envoy is really powerful." ”

Ming Yi didn't want to hide it from him, and handed over Wu Qianping's letterhead: "Take this, if you encounter obstacles when looking for someone, it may be useful." ”

Xia Huanfeng glanced at it and smiled slightly: "Sure enough, it is Lord Wu, he is the only one in Chang'an City who can take on this great responsibility and is better with Mingyi." ”

"I didn't mention it in front of Xing Qing yesterday, after all, the less people know about this matter, the better." Mingyi said, "I have a tacit understanding with Wu Qianping, he kept an eye on the three gangs for me, and asked the Cui family to lift their vigilance against us. When the time comes, we can use the power of the Cui clan to replace the position of the Peach Seven Gang. Cui's has long been dissatisfied with the Peach Seven Gang. ”

Xia Huanfeng was amazed: "In this way, we can save a lot of energy, and the expansion plan can be much advanced." ”

Ming Yi responded: "Yes, Wu Qianping also lacks power in his hands now, and we will take what we need from him." If our forces can overpower the Tianyi Gang and the Shentu family, Wu Qianping will also do a lot in the court. ”

"No problem. Let's take down the Peach Seven Gang first, and the rest will be a matter of course. Xia Huanfeng's face was bright, "But Gong Junhao, I still have to go there, and I can't break my trust." ”

Ming Yi nodded and said, "Yes, you also go to find out his opinion on this marriage and try to appease him." ”

Xia Huanfeng's expression was a little solemn: "That's what I mean, he is different from Brother Shentu." Those two are outlaws, unpredictable, but also easy to manipulate. Gong Junhao only treats me with a red face, and he relies heavily on the two deacons, civil and military. Especially Ye, his mind is unpredictable. I'm here to tell him about your current helper, and they have some impressions of you. You appear as a businessman, and you don't have martial arts, you don't have sect power, I think in this way, they will be less guarded. ”

Ming Yi recalled the three Tianyi gang he had seen that day, Gong Junhao with a smiling face, Ye with peach blossoms in his eyes, and Liu Yizong with a gloomy and clear face, none of them were easy to deal with.

"If this marriage has no purpose, no one will believe it." Ming Yi paced a few steps and had an idea, "Instead of being guessed, let's give him a well-deserved answer." ”

Xia Huanfeng smiled: "Mingyi should be in the same place as me, you talk about it first." ”

"They all treat you as a woman, running a tavern in Chang'an, and I'm a merchant in a rouge shop. Those men who think highly of themselves, even if they have an appreciation for women, they only look at beauty and intelligence, but they still don't look down on them in their hearts. There will always be inherent prejudices, and the shrewd women are sophisticated and greedy for money, and the flamboyant women are frivolous and fickle. Then we will fulfill their speculation. "Mingyi knows that ancient and modern machismo are probably the same, not to mention that thousands of years ago, men would not accept that women are more ambitious and capable than themselves, and if there is a martial arts, they will never believe that there will be a second, and the princess and queen of the Tang Dynasty can get involved in court politics again and again. And their failure is even more reassuring to the men, look, the women are still stupid.

Xia Huanfeng laughed: "Fortunately, I didn't dare to despise women. ”

"You're different." Ming Yi complimented, "How can there be a second Xia Phantom Feng in this world." You just said bluntly, you and I joined forces to seek the Shangguan gang's private salt channel in Yangzhou, marry Shi Ruoshan out, and replace him, naturally those white flowers and silver are indispensable. In the future, if Gong Junhao is willing to admit my status as the leader, I will not forget him, and he will have a share in the interests of private salt. ”

Xia Huanfeng smiled: "I think the same way, I'm afraid that Ming Yi will be reluctant to give up this piece of meat, it seems that I still underestimate you." ”

"Do you think it's possible?" Mingyi asked.

"Absolutely. Although the Tianyi Gang is powerful, the main source of financial resources is to do some tea and silk business, the war continues, the people's livelihood is withering, and the income of the Tianyi Gang has a great impact. There is only salt, and no matter how poor you are, you need it. Xia Huanfeng further explained, "The decline of the Peach Seven Gang is because the Tianyi Gang has robbed most of her silk business. If there is no money, there will be no people, and if you can't afford to support the gangs, where will the big gangs come from. ”

Mingyi listened to the words and became more sure in his heart. If it is only compared to the power of the court, or by force, it is unknown whether the Shangguan gang wins or loses. But compared to the ability to make money, with her and Xia Huanfeng, the Shangguan gang can be said to be unmatched.

"Okay, I'll be tired of Phantom Feng for a while. And these two, can Phantom Maple be sure to invite you? Mingyi pointed to the address paper.

Xia Huanfeng glanced at it and hid it in his arms: "Don't worry, tomorrow I will go to propose marriage with Shi Ruoshan." After that, I went to these two people personally, and it would be easier for them to be relieved of their defenses as women. I went as the daughter of a disciple of the Lin family, saying that I had the wealth and strength to avenge my father, and only asked them to help and provide some information. I believe that there will be no refusal. ”

Ming Yi nodded and said, "I'm relieved that you go in person." Be sure to document all the details. ”

Xia Huanfeng smiled: "When I am away, you take good care of Hong Yi." ”

Ming Yi smiled: "Don't worry, if you don't say it, I will do the same." ”
