The sword shone brightly with silver light, but in the scorching light of the sun, it seemed to be inlaid with a layer of glittering golden light, flying up and down in the courtyard; A group of people watched around and watched a man with a big waist holding a dark sword handle and dancing hard. When he arrived, he stopped his sword, put it on its scabbard, and threw it to others, exhaling heavily, and wiping his sweat with a cloth.

"Yuan Dudu's martial arts are a lot stronger!" One stepped forward and exclaimed.

"After practicing for a while, I feel a little dizzy, and my morning is not as good as before." Yuan Lun still sat there panting.

"Where. When we were conquered a few days ago, no one had ever beaten the governor. The man laughed.

"That's because you don't fight. If you are at fault in this salt-burning boat, you will be thrown into the execution ground and beheaded like your big brother! ”

"Lord Yuan asked me to pretend to be a transport army to burn the ship, what is my intention?"

He sneered, "You robbers are just shortcomings and wisdom," Yuan Lun pointed to his temple, "Once the salt ship burns, the court will be damaged, and the prefect of one side will not be able to escape the responsibility; When the time comes, Lu Deguang will be dismissed, and as soon as this hateful stumbling block that intends to dispute with me rolls, then this major military and political affairs in Chenzhou will be in my hands. It's just that I pity that Tongjuan baby, who is going to see Hades in a few days after putting on this official robe. ”

"My lord, Ye Tong's judgment is here." An officer ran into the courtyard and reported.

"I'll see him one last time." Yuan Lun got up and took the sword, and said to the thief: "You stay here first, don't come out." ”

Yuan Lun hung the sword on his waist, strode up to the main hall, and when he saw Ye Yongjia waiting there, he smiled heartily: "Ye Tongju is going to be a salt officer?" ”

"Yes. Therefore, I have come to ask for the seal of the Governor's Office, so that the army can be dispatched. Ye Yongjia replied.

"I know all this," Yuan Lun said, "but that's too troublesome." ”

"That ......"

"Look at this." Yuan Lun untied the sword and pressed it on the table, "You take this with you." If they dare to disobey the order, they will be killed. ”

Ye Yongjia held the sword over, and the first time he took it, he felt that he couldn't do it; After a few more attempts, it took me a few more times to hold on. He took off the scabbard, and the sharp white blade flashed from his mouth, which made him feel a little frightened. He put the sword back in and saw Yuan Lun looking at him: "How is this sword?" ”

"Razor-sharp, sharp." Ye Yongjia also had to praise the power of this sword.

"Then take it. Anything else? ”

"I'm sorry to disturb the governor, and I'm going to take my leave." Ye Yongjia finished his work, took the sword and walked down the hall, still looking at the shape of the sword; He removed his hand from the handle of the sword, and the words 'Sword of Yuan Lun, the Governor of Chenzhou', were still engraved on the handle. He then put his sword at his waist, mounted his horse and left the governor's office.

"Come in." Yuan Lun heard a slight knock in the door behind him and shouted.

The thief pushed open the door and saw that Ye Yongjia had already left, so he walked up the stairs with confidence.

"West, fourth cabinet from left, bottom floor."

The thief then ran to the cabinets where the storage belongings were kept, squatted down, and opened the bottom drawer, in which was wrapped in a yellow cloth with a firearm, and spread out the cloth, and a dagger-sized earth-colored bird gun lay there, and the body of the gun was carved with a fine pattern, and it was also engraved with the words 'Yuan Lun, the Governor of Chenzhou'.

"What was intercepted from the barbarians during the conquest of Guangxi, if you are in danger, take it and get out. After burning the salt boat, you are gone. ”

The man carefully held up the small gun, and when he heard this, his eyes lit up: "Really? ”

"Really, there's no need to be detained here." Yuan Lun said lightly.

When Ye Yongjia rushed to Xihua County, it was noon when the wind and the sun were beautiful. He and Kou Zhong bent down and dismounted, the two chatted, walked to the military tent in the city, first entered the tent and hung the sword on the knife holder, and then went out of the tent to select the army with Kou Zhong. said that it was an election, but in fact, the Governor's Office had already arranged all the soldiers and soldiers, so it could only be said that it was a point of troops.

Kou Zhong called the troops from all over the country to gather in one place, and the troops immediately lined up and stood in front of Ye Yongjia.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the salt ship will arrive on the shore of Xihua in three days, and you must be careful to protect it to be safe."

Everyone said yes, and they all went to the docks to get busy.

Ye Yongjia stepped on the mossy steps and walked over step by step, and came to the edge of the dock. The first few transporters each carried a bundle of ropes and carried them to the river bank for emergency purposes; Some people build high platforms to prevent sudden changes on the river and make it easy to peep.

Ye Yongjia was scanning He Mian, and suddenly someone behind him was hugging, stumbling for a while.

"What do you think of the road?" Kou Zhongchao asked the man sternly.

Ye Yongjia turned around, a transport army fell there, and a fire gun fell out of the ground, he didn't dare to pick it up again, his face was full of horror.

"Don't get angry so easily. I'm standing here—" He bent down to pick up the gun, and looked at him suspiciously. "This army can't carry firearms, for fear that it will misfire, do you understand?"

"Ah...... Got it. The man looked at him nervously.

"Go ahead." Ye Yongjia patted him, and the man walked towards the dock, still not forgetting to look back a few times.

Ye Yongjia looked at this gun, the appearance was natural and exquisite, but he couldn't see objects such as logos; On closer inspection, there are a few shallow inscriptions on the body of the gun, but the lines are no longer clear; When I touched it, I did feel uneven. He frowned and hesitantly put away his gun. He returned to the military tent, put the gun on the table, and looked at the sword on the knife stand, which Yuan Lun gave him: it was still written on it, 'The Sword of Yuan Lun, the Governor of Chenzhou'.

He had no clue, but the indescribable feeling came to him. He stood up and sat down again, and he must not be so careless. He thought.

He suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had been reminiscing in his mind for a long time, before he woke up suddenly, immediately grabbed the bird gun on the table, pushed Kouzhong, and walked straight out of the tent; Kou Zhong hurriedly chased out, Ye Yongjia had already turned over and jumped on the horse, took the horse whip in a hurry, raised his head and saw Kou Zhong, and hurriedly said: "You stabilize the situation here first, and I will go back to the Huaining Governor's Hall!" ”

He said no more, but whipped his horse and flew out of the tent.

Ye Yongjia didn't eat lunch, he walked a lot of miles on an empty stomach, although he felt hungry, he had to hold on to it and go straight to the Governor's Office.

He stood in the doorway, wiping a lot of sweat before he stepped forward to talk to the guard. Although his muscles and bones were sore, he still strengthened his spirit, stabilized his emotions, and asked with a smile in an orderly manner: "Is Governor Yuan in the hall?" ”

"You're not...... Have you arrived at Xihua? ”

"There's a little matter to discuss with the governor, you let me in."

"Okay, I'll make a report, and I'll open the door first."

"Thank you."

As soon as the door of the Governor's Hall was opened, Ye Yongjia's heart was worried; But when he took a step forward, his heart became firm; swallowed a mouthful of saliva and calmly walked in front of Yuan Lun.
