Late at night, the county watchman's house.

Chai An, who was full of alcohol, walked into the hall and awkwardly saluted to the county keeper.

Wu Tianen frowned: "Have you drunk?"

Chai An hurriedly confessed: "When the subordinates heard that the adults had won a great victory, they were happy for a while, so they celebrated. ”

Wu Tianen nodded reservedly, with a smug smile on his face.

Chai An said with a smile: "My lord is mighty, several chief soldiers of the River Transport Yamen came to get close to his subordinates, which has never happened before." ”

Wu Tianen stroked his mustache and snorted coldly: "This group of wall grasses is nothing more than learning that Lou Yunhe has collapsed, and I am afraid that the official will be wiped out, so I went to you to find out." ”

"What do you mean?"

Wu Tianen waved his hand: "Ignore them first, there is something you need to do in person." ”

"Please command, my lord!" Chai An said solemnly.

Wu Tianen clasped the handrail with his fingers, pondered, and said slowly: "The floods in the north, the bandits are rampant, and the expansion of the county guard is imminent. ”

Ye Changsheng's question Sword Hall?

Chai An said cautiously: "My lord, originally everyone suspected that you were the mastermind behind the overthrow of Lou Yunhe, but now that you treat Ye Changsheng so favorably, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to say in the future." ”

Wu Tianen stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked up to the sky and sighed: "I can't tell for a long time, the world thinks that I am the black belly guard, but this official is bitter!"

Chai An secretly rolled his eyes, pretending, you can pretend, the biggest beneficiary is you, maybe how happy you are.

But he also understood what the adults meant, Ye Changsheng was so powerful at a young age, and he was a target that could be wooed.

It's not an exaggeration to make some investments early.

Not long after Chai An left, Ye Changsheng rode a carriage to the gate of the county guard's mansion.

He came for the Sword Forge Hall.

"Brother Changsheng, you drink tea!" In the hall, Wu Yu'er's face was slightly red, and she personally handed the teacup to Ye Changsheng, turned around and ran out.

Elder brother?

I met twice, and even my brother was called?!

Wu Tianen, the county guard, had a ghostly expression and watched his daughter disappear at the door of the hall.

Stupidly retracting his gaze and coughing, Wu Tianen smiled and said, "Immortal nephew, you are now an upstart in the upper circle, and you have received a lot of invitations tonight." ”

Changsheng smiled bitterly: "Changsheng is just a swordsmith, he really can't cope with this, and I hope that the adults will help you to learn a little bit more." ”

After the banquet, Ye Changsheng received invitations from at least a dozen powerful people, and if they all went to the appointment, it was estimated that he would not have to do anything for a month.

Therefore, those who should go must go, and those who can be perfunctory do not need to go.

"It's all a trivial matter," Wu Tianen waved his hand and said straight to the point, "I plan to hand over the fleet controlled by the Hong family and Lou Yunhe to you." ”

Ye Changsheng said quietly: "How many do adults want?"

"As long as it's twenty," Wu Tianen forked out two fingers and said with a smile, "But there is one condition, tomorrow you will go to Liu's Mansion to appreciate Liu Lao's collection and bring Xiao Yu'er with you." ”

Ye Changsheng nodded happily: "As the adults wish!"

Wu Tianen gave up the huge benefits brought by shipping, and naturally had greater ambitions.

Wu Yuer's Ice Lotus Sword is from the same source as Mo Chou, which can be described as "Little Mo Chou".

Wu Tianen wanted to take advantage of this to quickly get closer to Liu Lao, and let Liu Lao become a big help for his promotion.

The deal was reached, and Wu Tianen suddenly asked curiously: "Changsheng, what is going on between you and Red Leaf Villa?"

Ye Changsheng was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Three years ago, Hong Yuntao killed his father and mother in order to rob the Ye family's property!"

Wu Tianen nodded suddenly, this is similar to the situation he inquired, I believe that Liu Lao's side will also find out.

He solemnly reminded: "None of the four giants in Sanshui Town was given for nothing. This matter alone, on your own, will not bring down the Hong family at all. ”

Changsheng understood, Lord County Guard was hinting to him, and Hong Yuntao was likely to retreat this time.

After all, the principal Liu Jingye is dead, and all the blame can be put on Liu Jingye.

And Changsheng can only fight with Red Leaf Villa by tying up the county guard mansion and Liu Lao together.

This is not only in his interests, but also in the interests of the county keeper, and the two of them have long been tied together anyway.

Wu Tianen saw that Changsheng understood, and couldn't help but nod secretly, talking to a smart person is easy, and it is easy to understand it.

Ye Changsheng suddenly lowered his head and said: "My lord, the junior wants to forge a sword for the royal family's special envoy, you see, can you hand over the sword casting hall to the junior?"

Wu Tianen rolled his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.

You kid really dare to open your mouth, but the reason is so strong that I can't refuse!

Wu Tianen nodded depressedly: "Low-key, you must be low-key, I won't withdraw the officers and soldiers for the time being, and I can be regarded as doing my best for the envoy." ”

The Sword Casting Hall originally belonged to the Ye family, and it was understandable to return it to Ye Changsheng.

It's just that Wu Tianen felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and dared to love Changsheng by using the hands of officers and soldiers to clean up the Sword Casting Hall and take it back again?

Ye Changsheng's heart fell to the ground, and he bowed down and thanked him: "The adult's heart, the junior will explain it to the envoy!"

Out of the gate of the county guard's mansion, Ye Changchang let out a sigh of relief, tonight's harvest exceeded expectations, it was too big.

He took out the edict and the roster of the county guard, handed them to Qiu Tianzuo, and said solemnly: "Great offering, you immediately return to Sanshui Town, and send someone to receive the Sword Casting Hall and the Hong family's fleet." ”

It is better to receive the Casting Sword Hall sooner rather than later, so as not to insert a jar in Huanglong Villa.

The reception of the fleet must also be as soon as possible, and it is necessary to keep this fleet firmly in control before Hong Yuntao releases.

Not only thirty merchant ships, but also a franchised wharf in Sanshui Town, as well as eight warehouses along the river.

Mastering the dock and fleet means huge commercial benefits, and it also means that at any time, the Ye family has a way back.

The matter is serious, Qiu Tianzuo nodded calmly: "Son, the old man will send you back to the inn first." ”

Qiu Tianzuo had just sent Ye Changsheng to the carriage with a wheelchair, and at this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed behind him, and with a light palm, he cut on the back of his neck.

Changsheng's eyes flickered, and there was already one more person on the seat opposite.

Masked beauty.

The night was dark, and the horse-drawn carriages made a shaking and jolting sound as they drove along the dark stone roads of the city.

In the dim carriage, Ye Changsheng looked curiously at the masked girl opposite.

The girl was tall, dressed in black, with a black silk scarf covering her face, revealing only a pair of good-looking eyes.

At this moment, these eyes were cold, like two ice picks, poking at Changsheng's face.

After a moment of silence, Ye Changsheng couldn't help but remind: "Girl, there are rules in the curfew in Liuhe City, and when the carriage runs at night, it must be lit up as a marquee. ”
