The sun is abundant, shining on the golden sand, sparkling like the surface of the water. A short pause in the warm sun can make you tired. At the end of the sand, there is a towering city, abrupt and majestic. On the city, the guards all looked majestic, staring at the front one by one, not daring to slack off. Directly above the city gate, a man with a slight beard looked into the distance, his gaze was different from that of the city guards, and his eyes were full of expectation and confidence.

"City Lord Fang, who do you think has a better chance of winning this battle between the Mo family and the Nangong family?" This slightly bearded man was Fang Xiaonuo, the city lord of Huiyang City, and the man in black who was standing behind him and talking was Lu Mingchen, the deputy general he had invited from spending a lot of money.

"Tomorrow morning. Fang Xiaonuo stretched out his hand and pointed to the vast sandy road in front of him. "Most of the Mo family's places are remote and barren, but why does the Mo family's strength make all those forces fearful?"

"In addition to the combat effectiveness of the army, the Mo family's light and meager endowments are also a major reason for benefiting the people. Lu Mingchen groaned slightly.

Fang Xiaonuo laughed and said, "It is precisely the eight characters of lightly paying for the people and benefiting the people that make other forces fearful." Take the Shaolin faction as an example, it is the least taxed in the rivers and lakes except for the Mo family, but his people can still only live a life of struggle for food and clothing. On the other hand, we not only let them be fed and clothed, but also let ordinary people see the dawn of life, and give them the opportunity to do business, become generals, and become civil officials. ”

"What about the Nangong family?"

Fang Xiaonuo said: "The Nangong family is located in the rich Central Plains, from the picture, it is in the middle, after dozens of generations of operation, its influence from three-year-old children, up to eighty old women, all think that the Nangong family is the orthodoxy of the world, the real king." This is the terrible thing about the Nangong family. ”

"What do you mean, their support for the Nangong family has become an instinct in their hearts?" Lu Mingchen said puzzled.

"Not bad. Fang Xiaonuo said. "These people are just stupid and loyal, they would rather die than endure the rule of others, the frog at the bottom of the well, there is nothing to worry about. What worries people is still Ye Yuhan and the uncertain but powerful Feiyu Pavilion. ”

"Oh?" Lu Mingchen was even more puzzled. "Even the Thousand Poisons Sect of a few decades ago is not as mysterious as the Jade Pavilion, it is indeed enough to cause trouble. But Ye Yuhan killed so many Jianghu rangers twenty days ago, making the Huashan faction the target of public criticism, and he had to abolish his position as the head of the family, and now he is his enemy, where else can he go if he is like a lost dog?"

Fang Xiaonuo was still staring ahead, and did not answer Lu Mingchen's question: "Ye Yuhan's head is jointly assisted by the two factions of Nangong Ping and Shaolin Wudang, and the Huashan faction does not dare to offend these three forces, especially the Nangong family. This time, they abolished Ye Jihan, and they didn't dare to say anything to Nangong Ping. When we are in a fierce battle with the Nangong family, the Huashan faction will definitely come over. ”

"Is this why after Ye Yuhan killed someone, the lord immediately asked the eldest lady to come back?" Lu Mingchen seemed to have an understanding.

"Ye Jihan has become the public enemy of the rivers and lakes, how can he ignore it with the temperament of the eldest lady. Do you think she will come back obediently after listening to her lord's words like this?" Fang Xiaonuo glanced at Lu Mingchen with a smile.

"Does the city lord mean that Ye Jihan is back with the eldest lady?" Lu Mingchen said in surprise.

"Yes, Dongfang Rui and Ye Jihan had an awkward quarrel because of Lu Zihui, and left the Huashan faction as soon as they left. After Ye Jihan killed people, he returned to the Huashan faction, but he didn't know that someone on the rivers and lakes had taken the lead to jointly attack Huashan, and the Huashan faction had to draw a clear line with Ye Jihan in order to calm the anger, and he had no way to go but to return to the Mo family with the young lady. Fang Xiaonuo sighed. "This kid is strong in martial arts and strategic, maybe he will be the new lord in the future, I hope he will not have any different intentions. ”

The yellow dust in the distance rolled, as if a whirlwind had risen on the flat ground, rolling up countless sand grains, forming a long yellow dragon, rolling towards Huiyang City. After a while, you can see the person riding a horse from the yellow dust, led by a woman, dressed in a yellow power suit, quite capable. The man behind her, dressed in unusually plain clothes, but with a handsome look, his slightly darkened face made him even more graceful. This man and woman were followed by dozens of people, all armed with swords and swords, obviously a group of followers. These two people are Ye Jihan and Mo Xiyan. On the same day, Ye Jihan came out of Lu's Qian Village, and after thinking about it, he decided to return to Huashan Sect to find Dongfang Rui. By the time he arrived at the Huashan faction, Dongfang Rui had already said goodbye, and the world had already spread the news that he was bloodthirsty like a demon. On the same day, Mo Xiyan also received a message from Mo Yunfan, asking him to quickly bring Ye Jihan to Mo's house. Mo Xiyan was happy, but Ye Jihan wanted to find Dongfang Rui, or Bai Hexuan came out to dissuade him, and asked Ye Jihan to leave Huashan first to go to the Mo family to temporarily avoid the limelight, Dongfang Rui's martial arts are not weak, and the people in the rivers and lakes do not know him, so there will be no danger. Ye Jihan quietly hid in the Mo family, not only to relieve the siege of the Huashan faction, but also to secretly use the manpower of the Mo family to find Dongfang Rui. Thinking of the collusion between Bai Qingxiang and the Mo family, Ye Jihan simply agreed to Mo Xiyan to come to the Mo family, preparing to persuade Mo Yunfan to shelve the current alliance with the Thousand Poisons Sect, so that he could not only use the Mo family's manpower to find Dongfang Rui, but also help Dongfang Rui regain control of the Thousand Poisons Sect. It's just that whether he can convince Mo Yunfan, Ye Jihan is not sure, but with Mo Xiyan's oath in front of Bai Hexuan to help him find Dongfang Rui, Ye Jihan's heart is also a lot relieved.

Less than two miles away from Huiyang City, the city gate was wide open, and two columns of teams walked out of it in a neat manner, standing on both sides with high momentum, and the two people facing it were naturally Fang Xiaonuo and Lu Mingchen. Ye Jihan saw Fang Xiaonuo from a distance, he was seriously injured last time, and it was expected that he would not give up and would definitely make an obstacle in secret.

"Don't worry, with me, no one in the Mo family can be unfavorable to you, including my father. Mo Xiyan and Ye Jihan walked side by side, secretly paying attention to his expression all the way, and when he saw Fang Xiaonuo, he was afraid that Ye Jihan would have other concerns, so he said something of relief.

"Xiyan. Mo Xiyan's words moved Ye Jihan. "I have offended the entire rivers and lakes, and at this juncture, the Nangong family is about to start a war with the Mo family, you have taken me in, and spreading it will only be more unfavorable to your father. ”

"The rumors are just to quickly promote their alliance, and they always have to find an excuse to fight, either because of this or because of that, and there must always be a division to be famous and fool the people. Mo Xiyan said disdainfully. After hearing this, Ye Jihan felt even more grateful in his heart, and began to have a qualitative change in his opinion of Mo Xiyan. For a long time, Ye Jihan only felt that Mo Xiyan was arrogant and domineering, relying on his father's power to ignore anyone, and after getting along with her for a long time, he also felt that she was approachable, especially when dealing with the people around her. and the relationship between her and Dongfang Rui and Liu Yiyi, the first time they saw the same situation, but after a long time, they can also be close like sisters. This will listen to her opinion on the war, not at all like a spoiled daughter. It seems that at such an instant, Ye Yuhan's long-standing attitude towards Mo Xiyan began to change, and he became a little eager to get close to her and understand her. It was at such an instant that Ye Jihan also remembered Liang Ruofeng.
