"Yan Shaoxia, the above is the meaning conveyed by the lower official of Chang Shituo, and the lower official retired. "The state capital is not engaged in saluting and retiring.

Yan Qi got up to send him off, and said, "Don't drive the adults slowly, please tell Lord Liu, and the juniors will finalize the plan for dealing with the captured bandits as soon as possible." ”

"Good. Yan Shaoxia, please stay, and you can go to the next official. "Don't drive back.

Yan sat up, rubbed his eyebrows, and said to Gongzi Xiang, who was sitting below and burying his head in the case: "What is this matter? ”

Gongzixiang put down his pen and said: "Two hundred and seventy-eight captives have been imprisoned in the walking yamen for half a month, and it is time to make a decision to kill or chop them. As for the Wang family, they have always regarded themselves as the eyes and ears of the Zhongshan faction in Hezhou, and what they said is what your master wants to say to you. ”

"The question is who to kill? Do we do it ourselves, or do we send it to the Hezhou Mansion and let Liu Ye do it. Yan Qi groaned.

"None of them are right. Gongzixiang habitually bit his pen and said: "It's best to wait for Zhong Shan to come, and the elders sent by Zhong Shan will be beheaded together with the officials of Hezhou Mansion." ”

Yan nodded and said, "This method is very good. ”

"Defeating Meng Ke proves your strength, and destroying Mangshan proves your means. These two things are also good things for fame. Now, you are in the limelight in Hezhou for a while. Gongzixiang paused, and clasped his finger heavily on the desk, "But after a few incidents here, everyone will know that you are a restless person and an ambitious person." ”

Yan Qi laughed a few times and said, "It's good to have ambitions, but if you don't have ambitions, who will come and defect?" I have thought about it carefully, and the most important thing at the moment is the attitude of the master towards me. You have to find a way to stay in Hezhou, what do you say?"

Gongzi Xiang said: "That's right, this is the key point. What would Daoist Xuanyin most want to see? What does Zhongshan rely on to grow stronger? The injection of fresh blood. Let those family sects that originally stood in the same line as the Meng family bow their heads like the Wang family, and presumably your master will be very satisfied. But this matter can't be rushed, slow down. ”

Gongzixiang drove the wheelchair, put a few pieces of paper in front of Yan Qi, and said, "Look at it." ”

Yan Qi read through it and found that what was written was the next few urgent things to do. When I came to Yan's empty room, the head of the house, Yan Xing, happened to be there. Seeing that Yan got up, the father and son stopped whispering, and Yan Xing got up to greet him, "My nephew is here, please take a seat." ”

Yan Qi didn't dare to say anything, and did the courtesy of the juniors. chatted a few words and asked about Yankong's injury. Yan Kong's face looked much better, and the wounds on his body were also scabbed, and they would heal in a few days.

Yan Qi squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "Miss Liusu hasn't come to see you these days, right?"

Yan Kong smiled embarrassedly, the father and son glanced at each other, and Yan Xing said: "Hey, it's a pity that Liu Dingshan's vision is too high, and he can't look down on my family, this marriage is difficult." After a change of words, he said: "I went to Meng's house with my nephew that day, and when I saw my nephew's magical powers, Yan really felt that he was old and useless." At the foot of Mang Mountain, the nephew broke the city defense weapon at the head of the bandit wall with the strength of one person, and Yan said at that time that the future of the Yan family was only on the shoulders of the nephew. ”

"Uncle Yan, what are these words? Listening to Yan Xing's words that meant to be virtuous, Yan Qi knew that this was a temptation. He replied: "Uncle Yan is in the prime of life, and Brother Yankong is also the leader of the younger generation of the Yan family. Recently, in conversations with the elders of the clan, everyone was very happy that Uncle Yan had a successor. The future of the Yan family, I am afraid that Uncle Yan and his father and son will have to suffer a lot. ”

Yan Xing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with his head bowed: "Okay, my nephew's words have made Yan feel a lot more at ease." Yan Kong, haven't you ever thanked you Brother Yan Qi?"

Yan Kong struggled to thank him, accidentally touching the wound, and grinning in pain. Yan Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "The family doesn't talk about two families, Yan Kong and I are brothers and sisters, so it is inevitable to be divided." ”

The three of them had a good heart, and they all smiled. I heard Yan Xing say again: "My nephew is here this time, but there are other things to discuss?"

Yan Qi said politely: "Uncle Yan's eyes are like torches, but my nephew has something to discuss. Well, it's for the money. ”

"To do great things, you have to use money, and yellow and white things can pass through ghosts and gods. The nephew might as well say a number, the Yan family has some savings over the years, just ask. Yan Xing's expression remained unchanged.

Asking for money directly is too inferior. Yan Qi came to ask for someone, and Gongzixiang gave a plan to use Yan Qi's fame in the way of sword casting to open a shop selling weapons in Hezhou. Yan Qi casts a sword alone, and the quality is no problem, but the quantity is difficult to guarantee. So he stretched out his hand to the Yan family and asked the Yan family to cast a sword together.

After listening to Yan Qi's explanation, Yan Xing shook his head. The martial arts family in today's world knows how to make money very well, after all, it is not necessary to feed a large family. Whether it is Yan Qi or Gongzixiang, they are not as knowledgeable in terms of economy as Yan Xing, who is well versed in this way.

No matter what kind of shop you open, it must be distinctive. Yan Qi is good at forging swords, so it is best to only sell swords. It is also necessary to make some gimmicks such as the treasure of the town store, such as the cicada wing sword cast in front of the swordsmith Chang Taifu in Chaozhou, it is better to have allusions. The world's vassal and elegant people, the best of this kind. Otherwise, how could they compete for business with those time-honored shops? The Yan family can produce people, but there are not many weapons, and they are excellent. A good soldier is worth far more than thousands of ordinary swords.

Yan Xing said for a long time, Yan Qi listened carefully, and finally said that everything was arranged by the head of the family. Yan Xing is the one who should take it.

"The peerless dragon bone on Lei Gong Mountain, do you remember it?"

When Yan Qi heard this, he said cautiously: "The little nephew is a swordsmith, of course he won't forget it." But after all, the dragon bone is in the ancestral cemetery of the Yan family, and besides, it is too precious. Don't dare to think about it, don't dare to think about it. ”

Yan Xing laughed and said, "It's okay, as long as my nephew can get one thing, Yan can persuade the elders of the clan to take the absolute dragon bone." ”

Yan Qiran and asked, "But over there in Zhongshan?"

Yan Xing nodded, "Exactly." The martial arts in Hezhou, Chaozhou, and Nanzhong are, after all, based on the Zhongshan faction. This time, the Yan family rushed to Hezhou to quell the bandits without Zhong Shan's permission, which was already a taboo. Without a word from the head of the house, Xuanyin Dao, the Yan family would not be able to sleep and eat. ”

Yan Qi thought so, and it was indeed time for him to go back to Zhongshan. The master is gracious, and the head and disciple are outside, and they are all under the grace and power all the time. He got up and said goodbye to Yan Xing's father and son, and returned to his home in Fuzhong.

"Mother. ”

"I'm back, the food is cold, and my mother will give you some heat. ”

Yan Qi looked at Yan's family, "Mother, I'm going to go back to Zhongshan in a few days." ”

Yan agreed: "It's time to go and see the head of the sect." ”

"I want to take Xiaohua with me. ”

Yan Shi asked, "Your sister, why do you suddenly want to take her there?"
