The valley here is quiet and secluded, and the transpiring mist stretches for dozens of miles, setting off the area like a fairyland. In the woods, the thrush chirps, the hoopoe chirps, and the cuckoos chirp again......

Zhu Xiaochen sat cross-legged on a tall boulder, overlooking the phantomous scenery in front of him, listening to the crisp birdsong like fairy music in his ears, but his heart was not calm and quiet at all. In his mind, the ghostly figure of the young man lingered. How conceited he used to be, how hesitant he is now, "How can his body be so fast?", "My Xuanyan palm obviously hit his vest, how can he still use his skills?", "Isn't what they said is true, there is indeed something strange here?"

After coming out of the General's Mansion that night and reporting to the man that he had missed, Zhu Xiaochen left alone. He was the first master of the thirty-two people on this trip, and when that man sent him to kill Rui Rumin, who was the heaviest among the ministers, he gladly accepted the order. "Let the most sure people do the most important things", since Duan Mulan ascended the throne 17 years ago, he has become the general leader of the Turkic country's governance and political selection. In the past 17 years, countless capable people have emerged from all over the country, and the strength of the country has increased greatly, almost the same as Dahua.

Obviously, the man had high hopes for Zhu Xiaochen. Originally, I thought that I would be able to behead the enemy and live up to my mission, but I didn't want to become one of the seven people who missed out of the twenty-four people who shot that night. Although the man did not blame Zhu Xiaochen, the strange gaze cast by his peers was really unbearable, so he left for the man's trip, and met in Jinzhou eight days later. Zhu Xiaochen arrived in Jinzhou three days ago, but he did not go to the place where he met, but found this valley and hid it.

Today is the last day of the eight-day period, and Zhu Xiaochen is a big man in the martial arts of the Turkic country, and there is no habit of breaking the appointment. After glancing at the valley again, he turned and ran quickly downward, and his figure disappeared into the forest, never to be seen again.

"Uncle Junior, we have crossed the border of Jinzhou, and it will not be far from the Yanyun Governor's Mansion, so you can relax your heart!" Zhantong's little disciple Zhi Cang couldn't help but comfort when he saw that Mei Yuanchen was nervous all the way, his face was anxious. Although Zhicang is much older than Mei Yuanchen, he is only twenty-five years old this year, and he has been worshipping under the Zhantong Sect for eleven years, and his martial arts are not weak at all.

Mei Yuanchen turned his head sideways and smiled at him reluctantly, but he didn't answer, picked up the steamed bun in his hand and ate it in a few bites, patted his ass and stood up. Seeing that Mei Yuanchen had gotten up, the twelve old and young Taoist priests of Zhenwuguan all got up from the grass stalks and jumped on the horses one after another, regardless of whether they had finished eating the steamed buns in their hands or not.

"Whoa... .... "A puff of dust kicked up, and the thirteen rode on the post road and ran westward. Under the afterglow, the thirteen backs seemed to emit a faint golden light.

At the beginning of the hour, just as I was having lunch, there was a noise from the Anxian Salt Transport Administration's office.

"Don't think about it! But teach me Mei Siyuan to be in the position of the administrative secretary of Anxian Salt for a day, and it will never be possible for your salt gang to get involved in the Fuzhou Salt Farm! Don't say more, send off guests!" Mei Siyuan rebuked angrily.

A tall thin old man with a goatee sneered and said, "Master Mei, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand, and no one can control it!"

"I, Mei Siyuan, act but seek to be worthy of heaven and earth, worthy of the people, and worthy of my heart. Although your salt gang is powerful, it is also too big to go to the law! You honestly do your private salt business, and I will not restrain you, but if you dare to fight the idea of official salt, I, Mei, will fight for my life, and I will fight with you to the end!" Mei Siyuan pointed at the thin and tall old man and glared and scolded.

"Hmph, hmph, if you are together, Master Mei, you have to think clearly, Li Xue's words are all here!" After the tall and thin old man finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left.

Mei Siyuan looked at the back of Li Xueci leaving, and his eyes showed deep worry.

"Master, it's been sent away. You go to dinner, Madame is waiting in the side hall!" Fu Zhi walked over quickly, and said with a solemn face.

Mei Siyuan took a few deep breaths and said with a forced smile: "Second Brother Fu, Mo Duo has thought about it, let's go to dinner together!"

Fu Cheng lowered his head, held back his crying, and said softly: "I'm not going, I'm just waiting outside." There are too many villains in the left side of the political secretary's office, and they can't relax for a while. ”

Mei Siyuan didn't force it, turned around and walked towards the side hall. After Mei Siyuan left, Fu Cheng raised his head, and two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks. Through the dim light of the lamp, I could vaguely see a large scar on his face and a hollow socket in his left eye.

"Si Mei, tonight's food is so delicious! I will definitely eat a few more bowls!" Mei Siyuan sat down next to the dining table with a smile and said with a smile.

Bai Lisi smiled reluctantly, served Mei Siyuan a good meal and put it in front of him, and said softly: "Brother Yuan, this salt secretary, you still don't have to do it! ”

Mei Siyuan was pulling the food in the bowl, listening to the persuasion of his beloved wife, his hand was stagnant, he simply put down the dishes and chopsticks, reached out to hold Bailisi's hands, and said softly: "Next month, you and Aunt Yun, Bai Ling and a few of them will go to the capital, okay? Don't you also think about Chen'er? It's time to go to him, or I don't know what he looks like!" Looking at his beloved wife's eyes, there was endless love.

"Brother Yuan, I'm not going anywhere! Don't you know what you're going to do? Since you have put life and death aside, why should I cherish this life? Chen'er has grown into a human being, and I don't have much to worry about in my heart, if you have the will to die, I will naturally accompany you to Huangquan, along the way, you and I will be companions, isn't it also good!" Bailisi smiled, tears already wet his eyes and face.

In the past seven or eight months when a large amount of salt has been released from the Fuzhou Salt Farm, Mei Siyuan has refused many giants and wealthy families. In the past six months, there are really not many people who have secretly thought about his death, and more than 20 groups of killers have been sent, one is stronger than the other. Mei Siyuan naturally knew that if he didn't die, the assassins they sent would never stop.

"Si Mei, now that Dahua is in internal and external troubles, and the people are just getting better, how can I leave at this time?" Mei Siyuan said with a sincere face, "Meifu has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, and now is the time for me to serve the imperial court, how can I only care about my own safety? Everyone has a death, and there is nothing terrible in this life, but in this life, I can do my best to seek the well-being of the people and solve the difficulties of the imperial court! Lord Xue and Lord Liu can all die for the country, and the men of my Mei family are iron-clad, how can I spare this life alone!"

Baris bit her lips and nodded heavily with tears in her eyes.

"The family and country are in danger, the people are suffering, the border has been on fire, and the soldiers are waiting for it. The salt produced in Fuzhou is not only the place where the people use salt, but also the source of military salaries and military funds. Some people not only don't want to serve the country, but they actually think of embezzling salt for themselves, making the country's troubled wealth, and living in such an important position for their husbands, how can they allow it!" Mei Siyuan stood up and said loudly, "When the family and country are in danger, I am willing to smear my liver and brain to death!"
