Overcast clouds obscured the red sun, turning the morning into dusk.

Fine snow powder floated from the sky, like crushed crystals, and fell straight down.

A gorgeous carriage drove slowly down the street, and in the warm carriage, Yan Ruyi leaned lazily on the back of his chair, holding a delicate crystal cup in his hand.

The blood-like wine of grape and wine rippled intoxicatingly in the glass with the slight jolt of the carriage.

The middle-aged man on the opposite side was a little cramped, and he didn't dare to look at the curvy fiery figure on the other side, but he couldn't help but sneak a look.

The mockery on the corner of Yan Ruyi's mouth flashed, and he said leisurely: "Deputy Sect Master, those two ships, you watched them burn up with your own eyes and then sink?"

Liu Da'an, the deputy master of the Iron Sword Gate, nodded and said in a rough voice: "You can't make a mistake, even if those swords were salvaged, they would have been burned and deformed. ”

Yan Ruyi nodded with satisfaction, and a smug smile appeared on her smooth face.

It was only four or five days before the opening of the Sword Pavilion.

She had asked several well-known swordsmiths that it was too late to forge a batch of trial-grade longswords in such a short period of time, and they had to go through post-processing.

This time, Ye Changsheng couldn't do it if he didn't bow his head.

Yan Ruyi deliberately said with a worried face: "Ye Changsheng has some power in the local area, so we can't be in a hurry, and I don't want you to get into trouble." ”

Liu Da'an's eyes flashed with a fierce look, and he sneered: "Don't worry, Yan Da is the master, my Iron Sword Gate is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you Tianbao Pavilion may have scruples, but in the eyes of our Jianghu people, the Ye family is a fart!"

Yan Ruyi sighed regretfully: "Yuan Dake is the warrior I am most optimistic about, he could have become a strong man, but he didn't expect it, but he died in the hands of the Ye family." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Da'an's eyes were even more murderous, and he clenched the iron sword hilt at his waist.

The carriage stopped halfway, Liu Da'an got out of the car, and Wei'an's body disappeared into the wind and snow.

Yan Ruyi sneered: "Vulgar people in the rivers and lakes, what do you think of Ye Changsheng? If you really want to deal with it so easily, will I Yan Ruyi still borrow your hand?"

In order to deal with Ye Changsheng, Tianbao Pavilion did not use the relationship, but the result made Yan Ruyi disappointed and shocked.

The Governor's Mansion clearly rejected the request of the Tianbao Pavilion, and the river yamen of the provincial capital did not dare to intercept the Ye family's fleet at all.

Although the Refiner Guild did not protect Ye Changsheng, the attitude of protection could not be clearer.

As for the wealthy businessmen in the provincial capital, they were also afraid of Wu Tianen and Mo Choubo behind Ye Changsheng, and they were unwilling to offend Ye Changsheng.

Wu Tianen, the guard of Lu'an County, had just sacrificed to the Temple of Literature, and he was bound to be put to great use, and Mo Choubo's energy could not be ignored, and even the high-level officials of Tianbao Pavilion were against offending these two people.

It is said that Ye Changsheng also had a great friendship with Tangmen Temple, and had many contacts with some Confucian and Taoist practitioners.

Invisibly, Ye Changsheng used Sanshui Town as a base to weave a criss-crossing network in Lu'an County.

In this big net, there are officials, powerful families, people in Buddhism, and disciples, and the Ye family and their interests are intertwined and intertwined.

The Wenjian Hall, which has been run by the Ye family for two generations, has become a climate.

If Ye Changsheng is allowed to operate for a few more years, I am afraid that when the time comes, no one will be able to shake his position, and it is also a sure thing for the Ye family to expand its power to the provincial capital.

Didn't you see that all the forces in the provincial capital have already acquiesced to the existence of the Ye family?

But then again, if the Ye family was casually knocked to the ground with a punch, what did it mean?

If you want to conquer, you have to conquer wild horses like the Ye family, such fierce beasts!

Yan Ruyi's beautiful eyes flashed again and again, and when she thought of Ye Changsheng lying at her feet and wagging her tail and begging for mercy, her heart was full of pleasure.

Yan Ruyi closed the car door and said coldly: "Outside the southern city, Red Leaf Inn!"

......

The Red Leaves Inn, located next to a pier outside the southern city.

The two-storey building is antique, and above the plaque on the gate, hangs a pennant embroidered with red maple leaves.

In the room on the second floor, Ye Xiangdong's eyes were closed, his face was like gold leaf, his body was wrapped in gauze, and he was lying on the bed like a zombie.

Zhang Daoxu finished checking Ye Xiangdong's pulse, stuffed a scarred hand back into the quilt, got up and said: "All he suffered were external injuries, his life is not in serious trouble, and he can recover after a few months of recuperation." ”

Ye Changsheng's face was gloomy, and he turned around and walked out.

Chirp, chirp!

The little dragon eagle in the next room suddenly ran out and came to Ye Changsheng excitedly.

Zhang Daoxu held the big wine gourd, poured a sip of wine, and explained: "It was the old man who brought it, the tracking talent of the Hell Dragon Eagle is unparalleled in the world, you can use it." ”

Ye Changsheng nodded, from the moment he came in, he had already sensed the existence of the little dragon eagle.

Ye Xiangxi's eyes were red, and he stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Childe, this time it is not an ordinary robber who is doing it, the one with the lowest cultivation is also in the Open Pulse Realm, among which there are two True Martial Realm masters, more than thirty people, all of whom use iron swords!"

With that, he handed an iron sword to Ye Changsheng.

Iron Sword Gate?

Ye Changsheng looked at the three quaint characters on the hilt of the sword, and his eyebrows couldn't help but jump.

On that day, in the Sword Hall, among the three people who were killed by the powerhouses of the Refiner Guild, there was a half-step supreme of the Iron Sword Gate.

Did they take the initiative to seek revenge, or did Yan Ruyi make trouble from it?

But the difference is not big, destroying my Ye family's cargo, killing my Ye family's people, and injuring Xiang Dong, there is no room for turning back in this matter.

As soon as the group entered the hall, a warrior stepped forward and said, "Childe, the provincial river channel yamen has sent someone to know the details of the attack on the Ye family's fleet." ”

Ye Changsheng sat on the main seat and said lightly: "Tell them that there was no attack, but it was just a storm and two boats capsized." ”

The river yamen probably knew that he was coming, so they sent people to make a gesture.

Do you really want them to check, can they find out, dare to check?

The affairs of the people of the rivers and lakes are solved by the people of the rivers and lakes.

A trace of coldness flashed in Ye Changsheng's eyes: "To the west, have the two worshippers come out of the customs?"

"Returning to Gongzi, he has already left the customs and is on his way to come. Ye Xiangxi said cautiously, "The subordinates didn't dare to dispatch too many people, the two masters of Taoyuan Village and the twelve black panther warriors, as well as more than twenty good hands led by Xiang Nan, also followed." ”

Ye Changsheng nodded, it was right to be cautious, Sanshui Town was the Ye family's base camp, and all forces were staring at it.

If the Ye family moves with great fanfare, it will inevitably alarm many people.

Zhang Daoxu suddenly said: "The old man's three apprentices have also arrived, and this time they will act together with the old man and the son." ”

Seeing Ye Changsheng's look of surprise, Zhang Daoxu said calmly: "The old man is not fake, but he will also kill people!"

Ye Changsheng was thoughtful, Zhang Daoxu didn't need to make a move, but his three apprentices had to submit a letter of submission.

Fortunately, take this opportunity to let the warrior masters of different factions of the Ye family be able to fight side by side and truly twist into a rope.

At this moment, the samurai came again to report: "Childe, the Yan Da master of the Tianbao Pavilion is here!"
