"Second brother sit down for a while." A middle-aged obese man sitting at his desk and writing hard said hello, and then buried his head in the official document on the desk. On the large desk, there are several stacks of desks more than a foot high.

Wu Gan, Ji Ye and the others sat in the living room of the outhouse, the inner room was separated by a beaded curtain, and it was obvious that Ji Chen was here to deal with government affairs and meet guests on weekdays.

There was no one else in the room, except for Ji Chen, only a beautiful and dignified woman dressed in palace clothes served by the side. The woman nodded slightly apologetically at Ji Ye and the others, and served tea to a few people with green beads.

When she arrived at Wu Gan's place, the woman's warm eyes were slightly surprised, but she quickly covered it up and smiled at Wu Gan.

"Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry about them, I haven't seen you for some days, and I don't see you going out for a walk." Ji Yan stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hand and laughed in a low voice.

The woman glanced back at Ji Chen and sighed, "There are more and more things these days, and the heirs of several tens of thousands of families have arrived in Hanlu City, making a fuss every day to see their sons. My grandson is so busy with this matter, and he has to appease these people and deal with government affairs, so he doesn't even have time to eat."

"Those families, if you want me to say, they directly sent troops to collect their territory, and all their families moved over, see if they are still making trouble. If you don't know how to read it, you can be honest if you cut off a few heads." Ji Yan said angrily.

"It's not that easy." Ji Chen's tired voice came from behind him.

After washing his hands in the basin, Ji Chen lifted the bead curtain and walked out, sat on the main seat and took a sip of tea, gently rubbed his temples, and turned his head to look at Ji Ye, "My brother has something to do today."

"Big brother, today is here for the Northern Army." Ji Ye hurriedly arched his hand, "My father has been explaining this matter for a long time, but he has not made any progress, and it just so happens that my old friend is here, but he has reborn this thought. This time I bothered my brother precisely for the sake of the post."

Ji Chen glanced at Wu Yan and hesitated, "This is."

"Oh, this is the Wu Gan I mentioned, the two of us have traveled to the Great Heritage Continent together, and I admire his ability to lead the army. He came to Kuntianzhou from Beizhou and laid a foundation in Bailing Province in a short time. This time I came to Cold Land City, I was invited, and I brought some brave men, who happened to be part of the Northern Army." Ji Ye leaned over to his eldest brother and briefly introduced Wu Gan's situation.

Ji Chen's face showed surprise, he glanced at Wu Yan seriously, and Fang slowly spoke: "As a human race, it is not easy for Wu Zhuang to be able to do such a big thing in Kuntianzhou, it seems that he really has the ability. The establishment of the Northern Army is also a major event in the clan, so it is better for me to discuss privately with my younger brother before deciding on it."

Wu Yan hurriedly arched his hand, "I have no choice." But a bad feeling arose in my heart.

Ji Chen stood up, bowed slightly at Wu Gan, and turned his head to walk towards the inner room. Ji Ye glanced at Wu Yan and followed him in.

The two entered the inner room, bypassed the museum shelf in the room, and disappeared into it. It turns out that behind this shelf, there is also a secret room hidden.

Watching the two leave, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a while. The woman smiled slightly, got up and walked to the door, and instructed the green beads outside the door to bring in a few plates of snacks.

Glancing at the woman's back, Ji Yan frowned and turned her head to look at Wu Yan. Wu Yan nodded with an almost imperceptible movement, and the index finger of his right hand on the back of the chair was gently raised in the direction of the secret room.

"Sister-in-law, I'll go see what they're doing." Ji Yan stood up and walked to the back room.

"Ji Yan, I prepared your favorite honey cake cake, let's taste it first." The woman hurriedly greeted and tried to stop Ji Yan.

"I'll eat it when I come out, and my sister-in-law will keep it for me." Saying that, Ji Yan had already rushed in.

The woman sighed slightly, the wind rose between her eyebrows, and she was a little more sad, and she walked back into the room and sat on the right side of Ji Chen's seat.

Wu Jian looked left and right, pretending to look at the furnishings in the house, which was inevitably a little embarrassed. There was no one else in this Ji Chen house except for himself and the woman. The woman looked at Wu Yan with some curiosity, but did not make a sound.

Fortunately, at this time, Green Bead walked in with a tray and placed some snacks on the table next to a few seats. Seeing the situation in the house, Lu Zhu did not leave, but stood behind the woman.

"Wu Gan, right?" The woman suddenly opened her lips.

"Exactly." Wu Yan bowed slightly and bowed to the woman. This woman can be taken out by Ji Chen to meet guests, and she is not from an ordinary background.

"My name is Murong Yanyu, I don't have to be too restrained here, my Kuntian Continent doesn't have as many rules as Beizhou." The woman smiled, as if she had seen Wu Gan's thoughts.

"My grandson has a saying that is right, as a human race, it is really not easy for you to cross the ocean here alone, and you can still walk freely in various provinces, which shows that you are also capable.

The Ji family is in a difficult situation at home and abroad at this time, and it is also a blessing for the Ji family to have someone like you here. The first time we met, I thanked Gongzi Wu on behalf of my grandson."

Wu Gen smiled all over his face, and arched his hand at Murong Yanyu, "Madame, Wu Gen is just a martial artist, and he can get here thanks to a group of brothers who support him all the way. Madame also knows that the human race is already difficult in Kuntianzhou, and every step is full of obstacles. This time I went to Cold Land City, and I asked my wife to take care of it a little more."

Murong Yanyu smiled at the corner of her mouth, turned her head to look at her side, and the green jade hurried over. Murong Yanyu whispered a few words in his ear, Lu Zhu was slightly stunned, looked at Wu Gan, and hurriedly walked out.

"Wu Gan, I know that it is not easy for the human race to walk in Kuntianzhou, so I will make the decision for my grandson and give you a talisman to prevent anyone from disturbing you for no reason." Murong Yanyu's voice was as gentle as a trickle of spring water, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Hearing this, Wu Yan quickly stood up, "Thank you, Madame." In my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little strange, this Murong Yanyu could replace her husband's reward, which shows that there is some weight in speaking in the Ji family. From this point of view, whether the dreadnought army can safely gain a foothold in the Iron Hand Province depends on the meaning of this one.

In the case that Ji Ye's father Ji Xin is not out, then the couple can be said to be a pivotal existence in the Ji family, no wonder Ji Ye wants to discuss with Ji Chen.

"You're welcome." While thinking wildly, Murong Yanyu waved his hand lightly and glanced at Wu Yan meaningfully, "My grandson's health has not been very good, and the second brother has traveled a lot in the past few years, and the burden of the family is on him alone, and he is exhausted, and he has been supported by pills for the past two years.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two brothers are bound to have a gap due to the struggle for power, but they don't know that the grandson has long had the idea of retiring from government affairs and recuperating in seclusion. This time when the second brother returned, his grandson always wanted to hand over the Southern Army and some government affairs to him, but the second brother did not like restraint by nature, and in order to avoid suspicion, he was always unwilling to take it."

Speaking of this, Murong Yanyu suddenly covered his sleeves and chuckled, "Wu Gan, you and your second brother are friends who share weal and woe, here I bother you to persuade him, don't deliberately wander around in order to get rid of the suspicion of fighting for power, or help your brother share some of it."

"Ahem." Wu Yan lowered his head and coughed lightly, and said categorically, "Please rest assured, Madame, I will admonish Ji Ye a lot and let him retract his heart." It's just that this matter of the dreadnought, please pay more attention to it."

At this moment, Green Bead came in with a lacquer box.

Murong Yanyu got up and opened the lacquer box, but inside was a pair of silver-inlaid beast pattern belts, "Wu Gan, this is a gift from the Ji family to the retainers, you might as well wear it on your body on weekdays." With it, at least in the Iron Hand Province, no one dares to be rude to you." As he spoke, he handed it to Wu Gan with his own hand.

Wu Yan hurriedly wiped his hands on his body, and solemnly took them with both hands, although walking in the Iron Hand Province, ordinary people are also difficult to help themselves, but it is not bad to have such a life amulet.

"Thank you, madam, for such a heavy reward, Wu Ganming feels guilty. If you can achieve one or two achievements in Kuntianzhou, you must repay your wife and young master." As he spoke, he bowed and bowed.

Murong Yanyu smiled slightly, "As long as you and your second brother support each other and protect the Ji family, it will be the best reward for your son." Looking at the sky, he sighed softly, "It's time for my grandson to take the pill again, Luzhu, you accompany the guest, I'll send the pill."

As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled apologetically at Wu Gan, walked to the museum shelf in the back room and took down a jade box, turned around and entered the secret room.

Wu Yan smiled at the green beads, carefully looked at the belt, and gestured to see how to wear it on his waist.

Lu Zhu walked over, pouted and said, "You are lucky, as soon as you come over, Mrs. rewarded such a heavy object, and the house is very

No matter how many years you have worked for an old man, you may not be able to get one." While saying that, he helped Wu Jian buckle the buckle.

"Good luck, good luck, stained with the light of the second young master." Wu Gan said happily, simply sat down and tasted a few snacks.

After a stick of incense, Ji Chen and the others finally walked out of the secret room. Looking at Wu Gan, Ji Chen nodded slightly, "Wu Gan, you are here, it involves military and family affairs, so you can only discuss it in the secret room, but I neglected you."

"It doesn't matter." Wu Yan hurriedly got up and glanced at the expressions of the four people.

"Second brother, you should worry more about the affairs of the Northern Army. In addition, these days, there are tens of thousands of people, you can also help the eldest brother to take care of one or two, after all, the patriarchs of many families here are old people who follow their fathers, don't neglect others and lose their manners." Seeing that Ji Ye was leaving, Ji Chen hurriedly reached out to hold Ji Ye's hand, his round face was a little helpless, and there were already a lot of fine lines in the corners of his eyes at a young age.

"Big brother, don't worry, I will move around more in those houses, and you have to take care of your health." Ji Ye patted his eldest brother's hand, looking at the eye-catching strands of white hair on the other party's sideburns, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Okay, go ahead, be careful when you go out these days, and don't run around in private anymore." Ji Chen let go of his hand, "If you have time, you might as well come and help me correct the official document."

Hearing this, Ji Ye's expression froze, "Big brother, the formation of the Northern Army is complicated, I'll come back in a few days." Saying that, he turned his head to look at Ji Yan, "The third sister has nothing to do these days, but she can come over and give the eldest brother a hand."

"Ah, the cat forgot to feed it today, I'll go first, big brother and second brother." Ji Yan slapped her forehead and hurriedly ran out.

"Forget it, you all go, I know I can't point to any of them." Ji Chen sighed and waved his hand to let Ji Ye leave.

When he got out of the mansion, Wu Yan looked around and asked in a low voice, "How is it, has the Dreadnought soldiers come down?"

"Of course it's down." Ji Yan jumped out from behind a pillar, and ran to Wu Gan's side with her skirt, "Fortunately, I went, otherwise the eldest brother would only be willing to give a thousand people."

"A thousand?" Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, "Later."

"Later, under the persuasion of me and my third sister, it finally increased to three thousand." Ji Ye interjected on the side, "The entire Northern Army plans to allocate 10,000 people for the time being, including 3,000 from the Dreadnought Army, and another 7,000 from the Southern Army.

The eldest brother originally wanted to divide the southern army into two, with 25,000 people on each side of the northern and southern armies, but then his sister-in-law persuaded him a few words, saying that the current situation was unstable recently, and he still recruited more soldiers and horses, plus the third sister was bent on leading the troops, and finally it was initially decided that the northern army would recruit 10,000 first, and then decide whether to increase the troops after reporting to his father."

"Wu Gan, I can tell you that I can also command 2,000 soldiers and horses in the Northern Army, and when the time comes, we will have to compete to see if your dreadnought army is strong, or my subordinates are powerful." Ji Yan crossed her waist on the side and said proudly.

"Three thousand." Wu Yan muttered, it was still a little less, according to his estimate, the dreadnought army needed at least 10,000 people to have a certain ability to protect itself.

"You are stupid, three thousand is only paid by the military, if you can solve the military salary by yourself, no matter how many big brothers there are, there will be no opinion." Ji Yan looked at Wu Yan with a look of disdain, hating that iron is not steel.

Wu Yan's eyes lit up, yes, don't say it, this Ji Yan's mind is still flexible. But how to solve the military salary, it seems that we can only go to quell the rebellion as soon as possible and share the worries of the Ji family.
