The night is like a veil and the moonlight is like silver.
Chen Xiu rubbed the token in his palm with a little emotion in his eyes:
"I have obtained the warrant for arresting the head of Tianye Mansion. Now, I can be regarded as eating the royal food. Back then, my brother spent so long and was only a candidate for the arrest of the head."
His eyes dimmed slightly:
My brother still doesn’t know whether he is alive or dead.
The token is simple and old, with a dull gold and iron color.
"It's indeed a good position, with a lot of salary and benefits. There are a lot of things you can do to escort the Merchant Alliance convoy out for business." Chen Xiu's eyes flickered and he thought a little.
Tianye Business Alliance was formed by hundreds of small and medium-sized businessmen.
It is a large chamber of commerce that is not affiliated with any force and is purely named under the name of Tianye Mansion.
Every month, there will be caravans going out to Dongping Prefecture for trading, and the government will dispatch agents to escort them.
"Now, this task is in charge of the third young master of the Chu family, one of the three major families. Be careful, I don't want to go to the outskirts of the city to collect your body in a few days!"
Zhang Yunshan's instructions rang in his ears, and Chen Xiu showed a sneer.
The blood-like pill rolled down to his hand.
Now in the Sui Dynasty, all pills are strictly prohibited.
But practicing privately is a heinous crime.
"The blood-containing true elixir is mainly composed of red python blood, supplemented by eight fragrant grasses. It is smelted with the blood of three beasts for three years to become a hundred elixirs."
These are Zhang Yunshan’s original words.
It is far from as simple as ordinary herb training.
Chen Xiu took a deep breath, jumped straight into the courtyard, and swallowed the pill.
The burning breath spreads throughout the body, the blood begins to boil, and the qi and blood all over the body begin to boil.
The fist wind howled.
bedroom.
Chen Yue slept very sweetly with a slight smile.
Today she met a very cute girl.
Gentle and innocent, kind-hearted.
Still literate!
But, who is the "lifeless old mother" she talks about?
Can it really save all suffering?
"Woo——"
Chen Yue rubbed her eyes sleepily.
Just now, she seemed to hear about five low roars like beasts.
...
In the early morning, everything is silent,
A flash of light appeared in the sky.
Chen Xiu held a wild goose feather sword and wore an official robe as black as ink, and walked straight towards the outer city.
City gate, side.
The banner representing the Tianye Merchant Alliance fluttered in the wind.
In front of the wrought iron gate, a group of people were busy loading boxes of goods onto the car, as if they were about to set off.
Chen Xiu looked at this scene, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
The caravans of the Tianye Merchant Alliance are now under their own control.
However, before he arrived, this group of people had already checked out the goods and were ready to go!
A cursory look reveals pig iron, coarse salt, and even herbs!
No one informed themselves!
This group of people probably never thought of listening to themselves from the beginning.
"Who allowed you to leave?"
Chen Xiu looked slightly cold and asked in a cold voice.
An old man in a felt hat, about sixty years old, trotted over.
With a humble smile on his old face, he slightly saluted Chen Xiu, and his words were full of flattery: "Young old man Chu Fang is now the general manager of the motorcade. If you need anything, please just ask me."
Chen Xiu stared at the calm and even groveling old man in front of him, still cold: "Let me ask you, who is in charge of this caravan now?"
Chu Fang smiled apologetically and said: "Look at what you said, sir, of course it is under your control."
"Haha! Well, let me ask you!"
Chen Xiu's eyes were serious and his face was slightly cold: "Since it is under my control, who allowed you to load the goods? And who allowed you to set off? Did you give me the account book? Did I approve the list of goods??? "
Chu Fang lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master Chen, please calm down. Although I am in a hurry, I always handle things carefully. My third son and the prefect are aware of all matters. I hope you can rest assured."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his head, revealed a sly gaze, and said in a straight-forward manner: "What's more, this batch is futures, and there are your treasures in it, so we can't delay it. If the time is delayed, what will be lost, But it’s just money. Don’t worry, sir, I’ve been in charge of the Merchant Alliance’s fleet for so many years, but there’s never been any trouble!”
"If your Excellency is really dissatisfied, then it is better to take a short rest. When I return, I will listen to Your Majesty's decision. I don't know, what do you think?"
Maybe it's because of Chen Xiu's official robe, or maybe it's because of Chu Fang's special status.
For a time, many people gathered on the side of the city gate.
Almost everyone was looking at Chen Xiu with a joking look at this moment.
Anyone can see that although Chu Fang's attitude is humble, it is clear that he will not give Chen Xiu face or a chance to take over the caravan!
What's more, in public, his attitude was so low that he even raised the banner of the caravan's interests. What could Chen Xiu do to him?
A cold light flashed in Chen Xiu's eyes.
He glanced at Chu Fang, patted his shoulder slowly, and said coldly: "Chu Fang, right? Very good, you did a good job, I will remember you."
"I hope you won't regret it!"
Chu Fang bowed his head slightly, a trace of pride flashed between his brows, and said with a sinister smile: "Thank you for your great love, Mr. Chen. I have been the third son, the prefect, and the business alliance all my life."
"You must devote yourself to it until you die!"
"As for adults, you'd better not bring trouble to yourself. Otherwise, if my young master gets angry, that's no joke."
Chen Xiu snorted coldly and said indifferently: "Very good. Then Chen, I'm here. I wish you a safe journey!!"
The corners of Chu Fang's mouth raised slightly, and he said in a strange voice: "Old man, I would like to send you my best regards!"
Sure enough, Mr. Chen is just a poor man after all, so he can only speak angry words!
"Master Fang, you have offended Mr. Chen to death today."
At this time, a steward quietly came over and said with a frown: "I heard that this kid worked hard and broke out of the city. Could it be that he was planning to plot against us?"
Chu Fang sneered and mocked: "What are you afraid of? We are members of the Chu family!! Do you think he dares to touch us? As long as he still wants to hang out in Tianye Mansion, he must follow the rules!"
"What are the rules? In Tianye Mansion, fists are the rules!! Our Chu family represents the rules!"
...
Deep in Qingfeng Mountain.
The rapid sound of horse hooves gradually became clearer.
This place is about twenty miles away from Tianye Mansion. The mountain roads are gentle and there are many lanes. It is an important transportation place.
However, there is no one to take care of it. On the Mang Mountain not far away, there are rebels and invaders, and the government is even more neglectful.
Many refugees are living in the mountains and forests, and the huge Qingfeng Mountain is gradually becoming chaotic.
Chen Xiu reined in his horse and held a knife. The sharp blade reflected the hurried faces.
"You, who are you?"
In front of the dilapidated tower.
The unkempt young man was in ragged clothes, his face was pale, and his hand holding the wooden gun was trembling.
brush--
The Yanling knife swung past the tip of the gun and landed heavily on the young man's shoulder, with a trace of blood spilling out.
The young man raised his head tremblingly, and nightmare-like words rang in his ears:
"On the orders of the magistrate, I am here to suppress the bandits!!!"
Chen Xiu slowly raised the Yanling Saber, looked around inadvertently, and pretended to be indifferent: "Boy, if you want to blame me, it's your fate! Who is the master who wants your life?"
As he spoke, he suddenly struck with a knife!
锔——
The sound of heavy gold and iron collision sounded, and the strong wind shook!
Chen Xiu slowly raised his head. The disheveled man was gnashing his teeth. His arm tied with a coarse cloth was dripping with blood. He was obviously seriously injured!
The tiger-head Yanyue knife stained with blood stood in front of the young man.
"Dog officer, come and accept your fate!"
The big man roared, and the Yanyue knife in his hand suddenly turned over, and he slammed it down with the force of dragging the knife, like a mountain bearing down on the top!
The knife was powerful and extremely heavy.
The Yanling Saber in Chen Xiu's hand cut out three sections of swords, flying like a snake. He was cunning and vicious. He tried his best to block the blow.
Even so, there are still a few cracks appearing on the Yanling Blade!
Somewhat capable!
The big man's face sank. This young man was actually able to block his move at such a young age!
What a knife!
Chen Xiu’s eyes lit up!
The Yanling knife in his hand is a knife regulated by the imperial court, and it is far sharper than ordinary weapons.
But in front of the big man's sword, he couldn't move even one round!
"It seems that my analysis is correct. The bandits from Qingfeng Mountain are really of unusual origins." Chen Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly, swung the sword in his hand, moved lightly, and blocked the second sword.
But the bad horse who sat down was not so lucky. He was knocked to the ground and foamed at the mouth.
"Your sword skills are probably not something that ordinary mountain gangsters can possess, right?"
"Let's talk?"
Chen Xiu said with a smile and put the Yanling sword in his sheath.
"Are you deceiving me?"
The big man's face changed slightly.
Only then did he notice that the boy beside him had only a slight scratch.
"That's right. I, Chen Xiu, would like to see the master of Qingfeng Mountain. A huge deal is coming to your door soon. Are you interested?" Chen Xiu grinned.
The big man looked gloomy and said unceremoniously: "Get out! If you say nonsense again, I will chop you up like a bitch!!"
"Oh, that's a pity. Your Excellency has lived in the mountains for a long time. I'm afraid you have been plagued by diseases and pests for a long time? I'm not talented, so I have a hundred kilograms of medicinal herbs to offer!!! That's a fleet of precious medicinal herbs, of extraordinary value! You don't need it, that's really My good intentions were in vain~" Chen Xiu's tone was drawn out, pretending to be regretful.
etc!
The big man suddenly spoke, with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes: "You said there are medicines? Are you serious?"
"You have no joke!"
