Chapter 22 Walking on the ground

can be called a master by Fu Mingxuan, of course, it is not an ordinary martial artist.

Yan Kaiting raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger waiting for us?"

Fu Mingxuan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid they won't come out, unless we start killing people and make them unavoidable." ”

Fu Mingxuan said the word murder lightly, but Yan Kaiting's flamboyant expression was constricted, and his eyes were slightly solemn.

Fu Mingxuan chuckled and suddenly asked, "Have you ever killed someone?"

A suspicious red cloud flashed on Yan Kaiting's face, and he did not answer. Fu Mingxuan's smile deepened, and he turned his face away when he saw Yan Kaiting, his eyes looking around.

Fu Mingxuan patted him on the shoulder, and said with a straight face: "The foreign forces involved in this matter are probably not only the 'Blood Spear' group, if it is just to plant you a stolen goods, the movement is too big." Besides, with Xia Pingsheng here, who dares to say that he can stabilize him if he looks at Beiyongzhou?"

Yan Kaiting exhaled lightly and said, "The greater benefit than kicking me out of the game is to completely eat the entire 'Heavenly Creation'." ”

The two returned to the car, and the horseman whipped up and drove towards Yujing.

It was very quiet in the carriage all the way, and when the tall city tower of Yujing came into view, Yan Kaiting, who had been leaning against the wall of the carriage and pretending to sleep, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Do you know what to do when you go back?"

This sentence seemed to be headless and brainless, but Meng Erya, who was hanging her head, almost jumped up, and hurriedly responded: "Don't worry, Master Yan, the villain won't talk much!"

Yan Kaiting smiled lazily and said, "If someone asks you, just tell the truth, otherwise you can escape?"

Meng Erya's palms were already a little sweaty, he had no background but he could be a small steward in the procurement position, in addition to being kind, clean hands and feet, he was also a person with a flexible mind and a good eye, and immediately said when he saw the opportunity: "Yes, the villain obeys." ”

After a pause, Meng Erya added: "The villain knows what to say and what not to say." ”

Yan Kaiting seemed to close his eyes again to recuperate, and before Meng Erya could completely relax in one breath, he heard Fu Mingxuan say: "You don't have to say two words well. The little lady is also a delicate and transparent person. ”

At this time, Meng Erya really jumped up, the carriage jolted again, and one of his bodies was unstable and hit the roof with a "bang". The middle-aged steward next to him twitched his cheeks suddenly, maintaining a serious face, this is the Yan family's housework, and it is not his turn to talk more.

Yan Kaiting was completely awake, sat up straight, opened his eyes wide, and after looking Meng Erya up and down, he turned his head to look at Fu Mingxuan, with a questioning expression, "There are not thousands of people who have seen him, but there are also one hundred and eighty, right?" Could it be that everyone is not divided into men and women?"

Fu Mingxuan's right thumb and index middle finger made a twisting motion, a little yellow light lit up, and he shook it in front of Yan Kaiting's eyes and said, "Take a look through the 'Circular Light Technique'." ”

Yan Kaiting said according to his words, looking through the halo, Meng Erya, who was sitting opposite, was still the same, but in his sight, the edge outline from the head to the chest was a little inconspicuously distorted, as if he was looking through the green smoke.

Fu Mingxuan said: "Using secret methods or artifacts to hide your face is very common in casual cultivation. Circular light surgery can distinguish whether there is a change in appearance. However, it needs to be more than one big difference between the two sides to be effective. ”

This also explains why Meng Erya has never been discovered, and she will not come into contact with people at the level of Fu Mingxuan face-to-face on weekdays. And as long as you are careful, even if you encounter a few strong people, that is, the identity of a passerby, it will not attract attention. For example, she has worked in "Heavenly Creation" for many years, but she has never appeared in Xia Pingsheng's vision.

Meng Erya smiled bitterly, raised her hand into the collar, pulled out a silk thread, and untied the pendant hanging underneath. Her true face hasn't changed much, except that the lines are softer, and she no longer looks like she can be mistaken for a man.

At this time, she spoke, and her voice was still the same, which originally sounded a little feminine, but now it felt neutral.

"There are weak brothers and widows in the family, and I only rely on me to support the door, so it is more convenient for me to be a man. Because of this family heirloom, I have been using it since I was a child. ”

Yan Kaiting's eyes swept back and forth on the ruyi-shaped pendant in Meng Erya's hand several times, and after satisfying his curiosity, he let out an "oh", and fell backwards like nothing, and fell asleep on the wall of the carriage.

Fu Mingxuan smiled and nodded, turned sideways to pull the curtain of the car to look out, and turned his attention to the outside.

Meng Erya was so confused by the bland reaction of the two that she couldn't believe that she had passed the test like this, but at this moment, Yan and Fu no longer gave her even the slightest bit of vision.

Meng Erya was stunned for a moment, and when she raised her eyes, she found that the gate of Yujing City was close at hand, and she hurriedly brought the magic weapon that changed her breath and returned to her original appearance.

Until the carriage drove to the gate of Yanfu and stopped, the two of them never said a word again, but Meng Erya had secretly made a decision in her heart, she didn't think that Fu Mingxuan exposed her identity, it was just a whim.

And she was involved in the high-level infighting of the Craftsman's Mansion this time, although it was an unwarranted disaster, she could not be allowed to get out easily. Even if Yan Kaiting let her go, those big stewards would not let her go, just see how to deal with it.

Yan Kaiting jumped out of the carriage and didn't look back, only raised his hand and waved, saying goodbye to Fu Mingxuan, and strode towards the mansion gate.

After Meng Erya came down in a hurry, she greeted the doorman, and did not follow Yan Kaiting, but hurriedly slipped back to the courtyard where the little stewards were temporarily resting.

Some of her peers who had also come to rest asked her where she had been today, but Meng Erya did not answer, locked herself in the room, and after doing enough superficial work, she waited for the summons of the chief steward.

No matter which or several chief stewards are calculating Yan in court this time, it is obvious that it will not be possible. However, with Meng Erya's understanding of the current situation in the Craftsman's Mansion, he didn't think that Yan Kaiting would be able to do it in one fell swoop after returning from the court. Therefore, even if it is just for self-preservation, she has to deal with the interrogation that will inevitably follow.

Yan Kaiting went straight to the main courtyard, and when he stepped into the main hall, there were already five or six people waiting inside.

Yan Kaiting's eyes swept over, and it was not surprising to see that most of them were faces that he had seen in Dongtun Town not long ago, and Hu Donglai was also on the list with a bruised face, and these people were the team that was originally prepared for him to "handle" the affairs of the branch.

When the people saw him come in, they all got up to greet him.

Yan Kaiting walked to the upper seat, sat down with a big sword, and asked, "Do you have something?"

Everyone glanced at each other, and Hu Donglai said first: "Mansion master, it's really inappropriate for you to cancel the contract of the master craftsman!"

Yan Kaiting said lightly: "I just came back, how do you know?"

Hu Donglai said calmly: "The affairs of the branch are the functions of the subordinates. Although the lord of the mansion had already gone in person earlier, and his subordinates had rushed there immediately, it was unfortunate that you had already left when we arrived. ”

Yan Kaiting nodded and said, "Then since you already know the outcome of the matter, I can also save some tongues." At the branch, I will send people to settle in tonight, and I have asked the Song garrison in the town to also send people over to help defend at the same time. 'Magic Moment' is a major matter in Yujing, and it must not be lost. ”

Hu Donglai didn't expect Yan Kaiting to reason with him at all, and directly announced the result, and even most of the follow-up affairs had been arranged, and a third party was brought in, which was a little difficult to do.

He paused and sighed: "The subordinates know that the lord of the mansion is angry with the flying misfortune of the branch, but the master craftsman has served the 'Heavenly Craftsman' for many years, and the contract is too easy to terminate, and the other branches don't know what they will think when they see it." ”

Yan Kaiting asked: "Do you think that the annual salary I gave him for 16 years exceeds the standard? Half of it came from my private treasury." ”

Hu Donglai was suffocated, Yan Kaiting's question was tricky, if he answered it smoothly, he would be torn away from the focus of the topic, if he didn't answer, he couldn't default to the fact that he felt that he gave too much money?

At this time, a white-haired steward next to him spoke, he obviously relied on himself to be the oldest person here, and his tone was quite dependent on the old and selling the old, "Mansion master, money is still second, we all think that terminating the contract with the craftsman at this juncture will have a bad impact on the craftsman's mansion." ”

Yan Kaiting's gaze swept over everyone's faces one by one, some people looked at him and lowered their heads, while others looked at him with blank faces.

"Fang Nanen resigned, I gave it permission, and gave him a generous gift, this matter is witnessed by Song Zi, the garrison of Dongtun Town. No matter what you think, how you understand it, for me, the so-called knots are to protect Yujing and the towns to survive the 'magic moment', which is the responsibility of the 'Heavenly Creation' based here. ”

Yan Kaiting said: "If someone is like Fang Nanen and doesn't want to share this responsibility with the craftsman's house, you can also resign." ”

Hu Donglai said slowly: "Mansion Master, that's not what Master Fang meant, right?"

Yan Kaiting laughed, "Hu Donglai, aren't you tired of going around?" I'm not interested in knowing what you originally meant, and I'm not interested in settling accounts with you at this time." I'll save it for after the war, if we can all survive. ”

Hu Donglai frowned slightly, he couldn't imagine that Yan Kaiting and their cronies of the old mansion lord would completely tear their faces at this time after two or three years of pulling and pulling in a daze.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw several other chief stewards present, and those who were allies with him looked dazed, and those who were not allies seemed to be suspicious.

At this moment, a majestic voice sounded, although the person who spoke did not know which direction he was in the Yan Mansion, but every word clearly came into the ears of everyone present.

"At the moment of the war, everything is focused on fighting demons. The rest of the idle chores, etc., will be discussed after the war. ”

The stewards looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Since Xia Pingsheng spoke, as he had done countless times before, it was finally decided.
