Chai Xinyue said softly: "Who are you talking about?" Xiao Han turned his head and smiled at her: "That guy is a rat, he doesn't dare to show up during the day, what do we care about him?" Chai Xinyue said coquettishly: "It's a shame, let Brother Zhuang see us like this, how can I show up tomorrow?"

Her tone was soft, with a hint of shyness, a hint of pride, and a hint of uneasiness, which made Xiao Han's heart itch, and turned around and hugged her fragrant shoulder and said, "Whatever, these guys have a broken mouth, whatever they say." ”

Chai Xinyue leaned on his chest and chuckled: "It's dawning soon, should we go back?" Xiao Han nodded lightly and said: "There is a meeting tomorrow, we will go back immediately, and we can sleep for more than an hour." The two of them went down to the edge of the cliff hand in hand, and jumped down one after the other.

There were a few soft sounds of weapons in the darkness, thinking that the disciples on duty had discovered the abnormality, and then there was no movement. Xiao Han pulled Chai Xinyue tightly, and the two returned to their residences and went back to rest.

As soon as the light of day dawned on the second day, I heard Bai Xiaoqi shouting outside the door: "Master, it's time to get up, Sister Ye said that there is something for you to discuss." Xiao Han had just slept for less than an hour, his eyes were as heavy as a mountain, and he struggled to get up and said, "What is your ghost name in broad daylight?" ”

Bai Xiaoqi said dissatisfiedly: "I don't get up early every day, and I must tell my master when I come back." He said it naturally Li Yueying, but when he heard Xiao Han's ears, he shuddered deeply, and once again thought that if Li Yueying knew the truth, he would not skin himself.

Xiao Han got dressed, washed his face casually and then went out, outside Hao Yufei stood by the door at some point, looked at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are your eye circles dark?" Xiao Han touched his eyes unnaturally and said, "What is Minister Ye going to send you over?"

Hao Yufei said: "My sister is taking inventory, and there are still some things to discuss with you alone, so I can only ask you to come over." Xiao Han said as he walked: "Tell Elder Chu to immediately convene all the leaders to the council hall for a meeting, and the heads of the various factions are also invited to attend the meeting, so as not to delay them coming down the mountain." ”

Hao Yufei agreed, turned around and left. Xiao Han walked a few steps before he saw Murong Qiuyu standing in front, and when he saw him, he said lightly: "How was your rest last night?" Xiao Han said embarrassedly: "It's okay, what about you?" Murong Qiuyu looked him up and down a few times, and suddenly said without a head: "See how you explain?" After speaking, he ignored him and walked straight towards Ye Zixuan's small courtyard.

Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, knowing that she couldn't hide anything, especially last night when she deliberately said that she was sleepy, just to create an opportunity for herself to be alone with Chai Xinyue. Now that Li Yueying is not here, what should have happened has happened, and the aftermath will be discussed later.

Xiao Han smiled bitterly and followed her to Ye Zixuan's residence. Fan Ruoshui saw him coming, and immediately came over to say hello, Xiao Han hugged Fan Haochen in his arms and teased him for a while, the little guy laughed happily, and suddenly a soak of urine spilled on his chest, which scared Xiao Han, and couldn't help but say: "You kid just don't play cards according to common sense." ”

The four of them looked at each other and smiled, and Murong Qiuyu said lightly: "Who asked you to tease him? Ye Zixuan took the child with a red face and said, "This guy is spoiled and should be beaten." As soon as he raised his palm to make a gesture to fight, Fan Haochen had already stretched out his arms and pounced towards Xiao Han.

Xiao Han hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't be like a child, a child is the flower of the motherland, you can't just fight it." Fan Ruoshui took the child over and said, "I'll take him out for a walk, and you can talk." ”

Seeing him leave with the child, Ye Zixuan stroked her hair and said, "Come into the house." The three of them entered the house, Ye Zixuan made tea for the two, and seeing that his eyes were full of dark circles, he couldn't help but say, "What's the matter?

Xiao Han was so embarrassed that he was about to cover up the past, but Murong Qiuyu snorted lightly: "Naturally, it will be like this if you haven't slept all night." Ye Zixuan was about to ask, but Xiao Han hurriedly said: "Is there anything in the account that I need my help with?" Or is it because of the Tokyo factory?"

Ye Zixuan heard him talk about business, and didn't care about asking him about the dark circles under his eyes, so he said: "I took stock of the accounts, except for the cost of expenses, now I have six thousand seven hundred and twenty-three taels of silver in deposit, two taels of silver per disciple per month, and one or two and a half yuan a month for the salary of family members, plus the loss of weapons, pensions for the dead brothers, gang clothing, horses and forage, and all miscellaneous expenses, a total of two thousand taels of silver in a month." ”

Xiao Han almost jumped up, changed his face and said, "So many, how did you come here before?" Ye Zixuan glanced at him and said: "In the past, when the money was low, the brothers' monthly fees were less than one or two a month, and the cost was less, but now that they have money, the brothers' money has doubled according to your instructions, and all the expenses have risen, so naturally it costs a lot." ”

Xiao Han was not interested in these figures, and waved his hand and said, "I don't care about this, you just tell me how much money can be left in a month after removing all the expenses?" Ye Zixuan glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said: "To put it bluntly, after removing all the expenses, you can still drop nearly four hundred taels of silver per month." ”

Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to Murong Qiuyu and smiled: "Look at so many gangs on the rivers and lakes, it is estimated that we are rich except for the three sects, right?" Murong Qiuyu said lightly: "People are more in and less out, we are more in and out, where can we compare with the three sects?" Xiao Han shook his head and smiled: "They are all misers, how can they be as generous as the head of this family?"

Murong Qiuyu and Ye Zixuan rolled their eyes at him at the same time, Xiao Han smiled dryly: "Is there anything else besides money?" Ye Zixuan nodded and said: "Then there is the matter of the Daliao Branch and the Jiangnan Branch, who are you going to send?" There is also the left-behind brothers in the Wudang Hall of Putuo Mountain who also need to send someone to send some silver to support it. ”

These are indeed problems, to put it cruelly, since Li Yuexuan took the old brothers of the Jiuhua faction to Putuo, he almost forgot about them. Now the old brothers who get along with him day and night and stay in Wudang Mountain are only Wan Shicheng, Ye Zixuan and Hao Yufei, and even Tian Chengzhi was sent to Putuo Mountain under the pretext of protection by Xiao Han.

Now that he heard Ye Zixuan mention it again, Xiao Han was suddenly a little ashamed, and his face became solemn and said: "I've been too busy lately, and I've been negligent with my brothers, it's my fault." In this way, you send some brothers to escort five hundred taels of silver over, and you can take care of the rest of the supplies, and also make the brothers more comfortable. ”

Ye Zixuan looked at him gratefully and said, "On behalf of my brothers, thank you." Xiao Han waved his hand and said: "My family doesn't talk about the two families, I have my own opinions about the two branches, and now I will go to the conference hall for a meeting." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw a disciple of Qinglong Hall come over to invite Ye Zixuan to go to the meeting, and seeing that the head of the sect and Murong Qiuyu were there, he turned around and left in a hurry. The three of them left the house and went straight to the Wudang faction meeting hall.

Everyone has already arrived, in addition to the four elders of the Wudang faction, the ministers, the four hall masters, and the sixteen helmsmen, there are also the heads of the sixteen factions, plus Chai Xinyue, Wudang Seven Sons, and Su Ruotong, and the entire conference hall is full.

Xiao Han sat in the middle, Murong Qiuyu sat on the left, and Bai Jiuxiao should have been on the right. Most of the heads of the factions sit on the right, and the Wudang faction sits on the left. Because it was a round table, the place directly opposite Xiao Han was Wudang Qizi and Su Ruotong.

Because everything was not done, the minutes of the meeting were handed over to Ouyang Jun, the helmsman of Xuanzhu, who had the highest level of education. Xiao Han glanced at everyone, took a light breath and said, "The Wudang Sect Enlargement Meeting starts now. The people of Wudang applauded one after another, and the heads of the various factions also applauded.

This is also trained by Xiao Han, and it is quite a bit of the routine of the later generations. Xiao Han was very satisfied, he pressed his hand weakly, the applause gradually stopped, and Xiao Han said loudly: "There are four topics for today's conference, one is to reward meritorious deeds, and reward the brothers of all the halls and factions for their recent merits. The second is to vote on the candidates for the management of the garment factories of the Daliao and Jiangnan Wudang factions and conduct public speech campaigns. The third is to select some brothers to go with me to help Jiangnan pacify the Southern Han Dynasty. The fourth is to immediately start to structure the supermarket affairs of various countries and lead all the Jianghu brothers to make a fortune together. ”

The heads of the various factions were first happy when they heard the reward, followed by envy, and they were a little surprised when they heard the third article, but they didn't expect Xiao Han to publicly express their stance to help the Southern Tang Dynasty pacify the Southern Han Dynasty, but thinking that Li Yueying was the princess of the Southern Tang Dynasty, everything was reasonable. When they heard the fourth article, they all smiled happily and whispered non-stop.

Xiao Han glanced at everyone, and everyone gradually quieted down, Xiao Han coughed and said slowly: "Now please ask Minister Ye to announce the reward rules and the list of personnel." ”

Ye Zixuan stood up and said: "Three hundred and nine disciples from the three halls of Qinglong, White Tiger, and Xuanwu followed the head of the expedition, and each person was rewarded with three taels of silver in the battle of Funiu Mountain, and one tael of silver per person in the battle of Fumo Valley. Each of the three hall masters was rewarded with ten taels of silver, and each of the rudder masters was given eight taels. One of the brothers who died in the war received a pension of 30 taels of silver, and the family members paid a monthly pension of 1 tael. The head of the Seven Star Villa, the head of the Beidou Pavilion Di, the head of the Qingfeng Hall, the head of the Chiyang Palace, and the head of the Tianluo Valley Cui sent Wudang to go deep into Funiu Mountain, and each faction gave one hundred taels of silver, and the head of the sect added another twenty taels, and the deceased disciples were given a pension of thirty taels of silver, and the injured were added one to five taels depending on the injury. ”

After she finished speaking and sat down, everyone applauded, and the heads of the five factions in the Central Plains who participated in the battle in Funiu Mountain were all red-faced, accepting the congratulations of the other leaders around her.

The first item of applause was completed, and the second item of selection for the election of the two factory managers began immediately. To Xiao Han's surprise, he originally wanted to send Ye Zixuan's husband Fan Ruoshui and Hao Yufei's husband Wang Yi to manage, but who knew that Ye Zixuan and Hao Yufei teamed up to nominate four people, namely Zuoqiu Zijin, the cousin of Zuoqiu Feihong, the helmsman of Qingxing, Xi Ziming, the elder brother of Zhengping, the chairman of Zhubei, Wen Yangrong, the eldest brother of Shan Wenhao, the helmsman of Baima, and Legoyi, the cousin of Liang Qiucheng, the helmsman of Xuanmei.

These four people have always served on Wudang Mountain, commanded and led by Ye Zixuan and Hao Yufei. Xiao Han has long developed the habit of relying on and trusting Ye Zixuan, so naturally he will not object. Since it was a campaign, it was natural to make a speech, so Chu Tianshu immediately went out to find the four people and instructed them to prepare outside, and then start the campaign after the discussion was completed.
