Hu Yanjie picked up a letter in front of Miao Fen, handed it to Su Yiyue, and said, "You have seen this, so naturally you will believe it." ”

Su Yiyue took the envelope, read it carefully, and then took out the letterhead. After reading it twice, he returned the letter to Hu Yanfu and said, "There are no threatening words in this letter, but there is no real promise, but it is just empty words of your future good plan." This kind of letter, from beginning to end, is full of empty words, and it is really insincere to send it to any faction. ”

Hu Yan said: "Why is it all a lie? Aunt Huang said in the letter, we don't want to do anything with you, we just want to join forces to be friends, can this be said to be a lie?"

Su Yiyue said: "If you form an alliance and join forces, you have already said it when you came here before. If you have the intention of forming an alliance, why did you shirk and shirk it in this way when you talked about the alliance in Gangneung, and refused to form an alliance in this way? This does not make sense. ”

Hu Yan smiled proudly: "It's not that I don't want to form an alliance, it's that I don't want to talk about an alliance with Yang Zhenshi and Xiong Laser." You didn't see all of this meaning, did you? Even Yang Zhenshi and Xiong Laser, two veterans, I am afraid that they didn't notice it. ”

Su Yiyue was puzzled: "Why? Why don't you want to talk to them? Who do you want to talk to?"

Hu Yan said: "The two of them, at a glance, know that they don't really want to form an alliance, they just want to use the alliance as a delaying tactic, and they want to take the opportunity to hide behind the Chaos Alliance." When we defeat the Rebel Alliance, they will lead the Righteous Blood Hall to repent of their covenant and turn their faces to fight us. ”

Miao Fen said: "You guys are wrong. The Righteous Blood Hall has been established for more than 100 years, and it has always paid attention to the morality of the rivers and lakes, and it is necessary to count what it says. It's not that two people can form an alliance if they want to, and they can betray the alliance if they want to. ”

Hu Yanqi said: "These words are very good, but they can only be used to deceive those ignorant and stupid people, and they are of no use at all. I formed an alliance and wanted to repent of the alliance, and some had words. ”

Su Yiyue said: "This is all your random speculation. Do you have any solid credentials?"

Hu Yan said: "Why not? My Senior Aunt Huang explained to them the painstaking efforts of my faction to benefit the rivers and lakes, they listened to it, and did not show much joy, they asked here and there, it can be seen that they are very uneasy, they are very afraid that we will take the opportunity to annex the Righteous Blood Hall, and they have not really said words of sincere approval, obviously they don't believe what Senior Aunt Huang said, and they can't believe our Kongtong faction." You're all there, think about it, am I right?"

Su Yiyue thought back to the film and said: "In terms of expression, you said that Master and Uncle Yang disagreed, and it was up to you, but they really didn't seem to have said anything clear and approving of. However, this is also because the two of them are careful and cautious, and they don't believe you. If they don't really want to form an alliance, they can agree to whatever you say, and they will regret it in the future anyway, so they don't have to take it seriously. Why do you have to ask this question or that to arouse your doubts? ”

Hu Yan said: "If you are making a play, of course, you have to do it like a little." I, Senior Aunt Huang, am not very old, but I look at people and things. Since Aunt Huang couldn't trust them anymore, she didn't want to talk about it anymore. Huang Shigu said that after all, there are still people who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable in the Yixue Hall, so she sent me to Hangzhou with her handwritten letter. What my Aunt Huang said, I have never been able to hide what Uncle Huang said, so this letter can be regarded as not written by Uncle Huang. ”

Su Yiyue nodded and said, "I didn't hide Sayi to obey Huang Changbo's words, I believe this." ”

Hu Yan said: "The three families have successfully formed an alliance, and the biggest benefit is naturally the Kainan Dart Bureau." My Aunt Huang didn't want to cheapen the Kainan Dart Game for nothing---- she said that Mei Zhanxue's girl was really annoying, and she couldn't get used to Yang and Xiong's behavior, so she didn't want to put the good thing of forming an alliance on the heads of the two of them. There are seven swords and one sword in the Righteous Blood Hall, and it is not up to them to be in charge of the two swords, and the rest of you can also discuss, and you should discuss. ”

"That's why I'm here. If Miss Su and Miao Daxia have something important to say, my brother and I will leave, and I will finish speaking, and there is nothing else to do. ”

Su Yiyue said coldly: "From the time when we were talking about the alliance in Jiangling, to how Master and Uncle Yang fell into Wu Hao's ambush along the way, all kinds of things are known to you, what else do I have to hide from you to tell Uncle Miao alone?"

Miao Fen suddenly said: "Since you said that you really want to talk about forming an alliance, the two sides should no longer hide it, it is best to have something to say in person." "He is obviously thinking about it, and he wants to form an alliance and take advantage of the momentum of the Kongtong faction to become the head of the Righteous Blood Hall, so he will say this kind of thing and use this tone. If he can negotiate an alliance, he will overwhelm Yang Zhenshi and Xiong Laser. With the big backer of Wuzang Sayi, even if the other five swords all come back, he can't afford to embarrass him anymore.

Su Yiyue said: "It's better for you to talk first, I'll listen to it on the sidelines, so I can have a long experience." Let's see if we should join forces to save all the uncles first? Or do we have an alliance first? If the alliance fails to be formed, but instead messes up the Righteous Blood Hall, it will be a huge joke. As he spoke, he looked at the three of them one by one.

Miao Fen said: "Such a major matter must be considered in the long run, and it must be decided after convening the steward brothers of the church to discuss together, and it is not said that it must be negotiated today. ”

Su Yiyue said: "Since I can't just say it, I won't sit here longer, I'll go around the market." He stood up.

Hu Yanjie and Gongqi listened, and they also got up together to say goodbye, regardless of Miao Fen's retention, they went to Fang City with Su Yiyue, and they broke up after wandering for a long time.

Su Yiyue returned to her own courtyard in the south of the city, and did not come out of Dumen for four or five days in a row, and after practicing, she drank tea and looked at flowers, chatted with Granny Shi and Ji Qinghan, and was very leisurely. Gongqi Huyan except the two of them, every day or in the afternoon, he always has to come to the small courtyard and walk for a while, staying for more than an hour. When Su Yiyue had a good heart, she could also receive the two with courtesy, not blindly ridiculing and ridiculing, and under Ji Qinghan's persuasion, the two of them had a lunch.

On the morning of the sixth day, someone from Granny Shi of Shuangqizhuang came to report and said two major events. First, it is run by Lu Chongheng, the eldest disciple of Ding Yangzhen, and the Guangcheng Goods Store of the Kongtong faction has opened in Xiangyang. Because Xu Wancun was captured, Wei Shuren left, Kainan Dart Bureau Mei Hongtai and his son no longer dared to strengthen, willing to obey, the general number of the Dart Bureau has been moved from Jiangling to Xiangyang, and declared that it will do business with Guangcheng Cargo Bank in the future.

Everyone knows that this is the general semicolon of the Kongtong faction that has annexed the Kainan Dart Bureau in a quiet manner, but it barely left a trace of face for Mei Hongtai. This is not an alliance on an equal footing, but a one-on-one subjugation.

On the auspicious day of the opening of the market, Chu Qingliu and a man and a woman came to the scene to make trouble, kidnapped Huang Changbo in the crowd, and rescued Mei Zhanxue. Although the Kongtong faction tried their best to cover it up, this matter still spread, and this man and woman said that they were brothers and sisters, but the origin was impossible to explore. Qiyin

Another thing is even more sensational, on the day of the opening of the Kongtong faction Guangcheng Goods Store, the rudder of the Caizhou Eighteen Miles Shop Chaos League caught fire, the fire burned more than half of the village, burned dozens of people to death in the Chaos League, burned more villagers, and the leader of the alliance Qu Guanghan and the general holder Shi Han both died in the fire. Qu Lingyu pretended to be benevolent and righteous, and transported two truckloads of silver to comfort the villagers, and since then, along with Chu Qingliu and other five or six people, they have all disappeared and have never been seen in Caizhou City again. Fortunately, Mrs. Su left the Zhuangzi first and escaped the fire.

Granny Shi had previously instructed to try to find out where the rebels were holding Yang Zhen and the current situation of these people, but her subordinates had been running for many days, but there was no information. It is estimated that according to rumors, this group of people may all be locked up in a large ship at sea and are wandering around. Because Qu Lingyu had bought and transformed seven big ships before, and now all of them are missing.

After listening carefully, the three of them sighed. Su Yiyue asked this person to go into the city to see Miao Fen and tell this story in person.

As soon as lunch passed, Gongqi Hu Yan came side by side. After sitting down, Su Yiyue talked about the two major events in Xiangyang and Caizhou, and the two of them were surprised and happy when they heard it, and they said again and again that they couldn't think of it.

Su Yiyue didn't wait for the two of them to judge more, and asked: "Huyan Shaoxia, I look down on these two things that your Kongtong faction did, but I have to accept it." Please tell you the truth, are there any of your people in Hangzhou right now? How many are there? Are they also busy looking for houses and inviting guests? Is it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow that the Hangzhou branch of Guangcheng Goods Store will also choose auspicious to open the market? Are you the one who sits in Hangzhou? If the Yixuetang can't surrender like Mei Hongtai, will you also set fire to our helm?"

After that, his eyes swept to Hu Yanzhi.

Hu Yanjie was just about to speak, but Su Yiyue smiled and waved his hand to stop, and said:

"You will say that there is no such thing, and you will not admit it. If you say no, I won't believe it. Mr. Zang believed in you so much, took you to Jiangling to talk about an alliance, and your Aunt Huang asked you to come all the way to Hangzhou, if you said that it was just to send an ordinary letter, to spread something new, and there was nothing else to do, who would believe it?"

"If you don't have enough manpower, you might as well say it directly, I can also borrow a few people from Granny Shi for you to use, and lend you a few taels of silver to spend. When your cargo bank makes money, you can pay me some interest. I'm not saying anything back, I'm telling you all the truth. ”

Gongqi said: "If it's not the opposite, Miss Su, I don't understand what you say." You, the deputy hall master of the Hangzhou branch of the Righteous Blood Hall, why do you want to help the Kongtong faction open a goods store? This is not good for the Righteous Blood Hall. ”

Su Yiyue said with a smile: "I don't want to help the Kongtong faction, I just want to help myself, but also want to help Hengshan Miaoyiguan, but also to help Yishan Grass Academy, if I can help the Yixue Hall by the way, it is not a bad thing." These three places are all very related to me, and I can't give up any of them. If any of these three places are on fire, how can I afford it?"

Hu Yan said: "You can rest assured. Uncle Wuzang and Aunt Huang have always respected Su Daxia and Wen Nuxia. No matter what happens, no matter what time it is, there will not be a single grass or tree lost in the Yishan Grass Courtyard. ”

Su Yiyue said: "What about Miao Yiguan? What about the two chief rudders in and outside the city of Yixuetang? If Miao Yiguan has a mistake, don't I have to regret it and be sad? I really hope that you Huyan Shaoxia came to Hangzhou to open a goods store, and I also sincerely hope that you don't have many people and don't have enough money, so I can help you and work together to do this." If Mr. Wuzang and your Aunt Huang knew that I had also made a little effort in the middle, I would have to look at some feelings, and I would not have been ruthless to Miao Yiguan or Yixuetang. ”

"It's all trivial. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if this could contribute to Mr. Muzang's great cause and benefit the rivers and lakes? It can also let people know that I am also a woman with a clear heart and has lived up to the teachings of my parents and teachers. It's a pity, it's a pity that you Huyan Shaoxia is only here to deliver a message, not to open a goods store, I'm very disappointed. Such a good time was just let go. ”

Hu Yanjie has never been a fool, this matter has already understood Su Yiyue's intentions, and said with a smile: "It seems that even if I don't have talents like Uncle Huang and other people, I will make mistakes." When I came to Hangzhou this time, in addition to delivering letters and messages, I wanted to visit the street market, find suitable houses, and buy some small houses, so that I could settle down for future people. But just look at the purchase of a house, and did not have the command to open a goods store, Huang Shigu said that Hangzhou is too far away from the northwest, and the command is not effective, so this matter cannot be rushed. ”

"Don't hide it from the two of you, there are too many gangs in the northwest recently, and each gang must be sent by Kongtong Mountain to set up five halls of 'heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts'. On July 28th, coinciding with the seventieth birthday of Master Ding, he was going to arrange a party with Qu Guanghan in Suyangling, Liaozhou------ and now that Qu Guanghan is dead, this date is over, but it also costs a lot of things and a lot of manpower. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let a young person like me come to Hangzhou to do such a thing. ”

"Think about it, how many people do you have to occupy for these many things? How can you still divide people to open a branch in Hangzhou? But even if Qu Dingxiang is still there, the Hangzhou branch will definitely be opened in the future, and no one can stop this. It is safe to ask me to send a letter to Miao Daxia first, and then look for a house, but not to rush to open a semicolon. ”

Gongqi was puzzled: "Since it is a safe approach, then why do you say that Mr. Wuzang and your Aunt Huang will also make mistakes?"

Hu Yan said: "They thought of everything, but they just didn't expect that there was still a Su girl in Hangzhou who was so sensible, had money and ability. If I knew, I wouldn't have been asked to just look for a house and not be busy with semicolons. Kainan Dart Bureau was subdued, Qu Guanghan was burned to death again, I didn't hide Uncle Zang's prestige, and with Miss Su's help, not to mention just opening a branch, it is not difficult to set up a gang and a faction empty-handed. ”

Su Yiyue said: "You also think too highly of me." Half a year ago, I was still reciting the Taoist scriptures with my grandmother and mother-in-law in Hengshan, and I still couldn't tell the difference between the east, the south, the west, and the north. You're just saying a few cheap and nice words to make me happy, but I'm still very appreciative of your affection. It's a pity that you came here for lunch, otherwise, I would have left you to eat for these kind words. ”

Hu Yan said hurriedly: "How can this be said to be empty words? As long as you, Miss Su, are willing to help me honestly, I can open this Hangzhou branch and let you take a look." When that time comes, Miss Su, how will you thank me?"

Su Yiyue said: "I thank you, why should I thank you? Shouldn't you thank me? You opened a semicolon, you didn't hide your uncle, your Aunt Huang must be happy, praise you for your ability to do things, and have a decision." Are you still afraid that you will not get ahead in the Kongtong faction? So, you should thank me a lot. ”

When Hu Yan came to the small courtyard on the mountain, he didn't know that the Kongtong faction had opened a goods store in Xiangyang, but at this time, he couldn't help but say a nonsense first, and asked Su Yiyue to pay money and help him open a goods store in Hangzhou.

Is it just to deceive Gongqi?

This is what the saying goes, if you are sold, you have to help others count the money. Hu Yanjie is not a fool, but in front of Su Yiyue, he would rather pretend to be stupid.
