There are five hundred people in the Shenji Battalion, which is a terrifying combat force!

Putting this kind of combat power in the territory of the Great Yong Dynasty, it would really kill gods if gods stand in their way, and kill Buddhas if they stand in the way of Buddha!

So when the news came, a dark cloud seemed to hang over Baishi Village.

Xie Yu is not as relaxed as before.

what's the situation? Are the political opponents of this old guy Yu Rui all fools?

One by one, they allowed Yu Rui to use his official weapons for personal use, and arbitrarily lent treasures like Shenjiying, which looked like the eyes of the emperor, to their sons to gain face and military merit?

Isn’t that too nonsense?

Normally, Xie Yu wouldn't be so nervous.

Isn’t there not enough pig iron in the village now?

If you can't do it with arrows, you have to rely on a broadsword for this defense! Expecting to use a machete to fight the opponent's firecrackers, my brain is broken!

Xie Yu needs to think of a solution.

He decided to ignore the matter of Shenji Camp for now.

After all, he still has no control over the movements of the Shenji Camp.

He had to find a way to get a lot of pig iron in a short time.

The Yong Dynasty's control over the sale of pig iron was not as tight as that of salt.

But if you want to do pig iron trading, you must have an official background.

The pig iron businessman in Yingzhou is named Yu Hua. He is also the patriarch of the Yu family.

The Yu family in Yingzhou was originally a run-down family in the local area. But after Yu Hua became the clan leader, he didn't know how to look up the genealogy, and it turned out to be related to the Yu family in Qiantang. It is said that the ancestors of these two families came from Kaocheng!

And the Yu family in Qiantang had a high-ranking official named Yu Qian. Yu Qian had been the governor of Shanxi earlier, and now he is the right minister of the Ministry of War!

When he was the governor of Shanxi, Yu Hua went to Yu Qian's house from time to time.

After going back and forth, Yu Qian finally recognized Yu Hua as a relative.

After that, Yu Hua began to make a fortune.

Now let alone Yingzhou, half of the pig iron business in Datong Prefecture belongs to their Yu family.

Xie Yu plans to go to Yingzhou to "have a chat" with Yu Hua.



Hearing that Xie Yu was going down the mountain, Bai Xiaonan insisted on following him.

After thinking about it, Xie Yu didn't object. After all, Bai Xiaonan's skills can not only protect himself, but also protect Xie Yu at critical moments.

Xie Yu has sparred with Bai Xiaonan many times these days. In addition to being able to beat Bai Xiaonan to the point of "discarding his armor" in bed, in any other place, Xie Yu could not get past ten moves in Bai Xiaonan's hands.

And Xie Yu had to admit that there was still merit in true martial arts training.

After asking his grandfather Zhou Yue about something, Xie Yu left Baishi Village with Bai Xiaonan in disguise.

The main city of Yingzhou is almost fifty miles away from Ta County.

Half of it is plain and half is mountain road.

The two rode horses and arrived in Yingzhou in half a day.

I found him in the Washington Mansion and thanked Yu for delivering the greeting card.

"Xie Yu? Xie Jin's son? Why did he come to me?"

Looking at the name on the greeting card, Yu Hua frowned, showing a thoughtful expression.

After a long time, Yu Hua said: "Forget it, let him go to the main hall to serve tea!"

Xie Yu and Bai Xiaonan entered the Yu Mansion with the housekeeper and passed through the garden.

Xie Yu was also stunned by the luxury of this Yu residence.

As expected of a well-known wealthy businessman in Yingzhou, this house must be at least five in size.

According to the laws of the Yong Dynasty, this is definitely transgression!

However, Yu Hua had gained an official position through accepting grains in the early years.

Coupled with his relationship with Yu Qian, no one would cause trouble for him in the three-thirds of an acre of Yingzhou.

Just as Xie Yu and others were about to cross the garden, something suddenly flew next to them.

Xie Yu was startled and thought it was a hidden weapon.

Turning his head in a hurry, Xie Yu laughed when he saw what was coming.

I feel so nostalgic!

Bai Xiaonan naturally saw the thing coming, and she was ready to block it for Xie Yu.

As a result, Xie Yu stepped forward and caught the thing with his chest without even stretching out his hands.

That's a Cuju!

After catching the Cuju, Xie Yu didn't let the Cuju fall to the ground and directly bumped it up with his feet.

Although the country where Xie Yu was born in his previous life was a football desert, when he later joined the Foreign Legion as a mercenary, his country was a serious football power.

Two-time World Cup champion!

It was also at that time that Xie Yu learned to play football with his comrades.

While Xie Yu was playing ball, two women ran over from a nearby yard.

One of them was a very beautiful woman, wearing short clothes and with sweat on her forehead.

It was obvious that she was the one doing the Cuju just now.

Seeing Xie Yu Dianqiu's actions, the woman also showed a surprised expression.

Xie Yu smiled, raised his ankle, and kicked Cuju towards the opponent.

The woman did not catch Xie Yu's ball. She turned sideways and let the Cuju fall to the ground.

A woman dressed as a maid next to her picked up the ball.

"Who are you? Can you also play round?"

The woman looked at Xie Yu and asked.

The housekeeper next to him quickly said: "Miss, this person is Xie Yu, the son of the Xie family! I'm here to visit the master today!"

"The Xie family? The Xie family in Ta County? Wasn't it a few days ago..."

When the woman said this, she suddenly closed her mouth.

She seemed to realize that there were some things she shouldn't say herself.

Seeing that the housekeeper was about to take Xie Yu away, the woman quickly asked: "Who did you learn Cuju from? Are you also from Yuanshe?"

Xie Yu shook his head: "No! This Cuju is just fine. I like to kick it. I haven't learned it from anyone."

The woman nodded: "Then you are self-taught. Are you willing to join our Yuanshe in Yingzhou? I can recommend it for you!"

Xie Yu smiled and refused: "No need. I'm not free!"

After saying that, Xie Yu bowed his hands to the woman, and then left with the housekeeper.

After turning the corner, Xie Yu subconsciously wanted to look back to see if the woman was still there.

As a result, when he turned his head, his ear was grabbed by Bai Xiaonan.

Xie Yu's heart shivered, and his survival instinct was stimulated at this moment!

He looked at Bai Xiaonan with a serious face, and then whispered: "I just want to tell you that she is not as good-looking as you!"

As soon as he finished saying this, the murderous aura in Bai Xiaonan's body weakened a bit.

Xie Yu struck while the iron was hot and nuzzled at Bai Xiaonan, telling her not to reveal her identity in front of the housekeeper.

Bai Xiaonan finally let go of his hand.

The butler looked intently.

In fact, he had already noticed that Bai Xiaonan was a woman disguised as a man.

However, the housekeeper has long been accustomed to the fact that these gentlemen go out with a female attendant dressed as a man.

Therefore, he did not reveal Bai Xiaonan's identity.

But when he heard Xie Yu say that his young lady was not as good-looking as Bai Xiaonan, he couldn't bear it.

"That was my young lady just now. Not to mention in Yingzhou, she is well-known as a lady in the whole Datong Mansion. She has just passed the age of hairpins, and there is an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage. The doorstep of our mansion is almost blocked. It’s broken!”

"Really? Then your young lady is indeed quite lovable!"

Xie Yu said flattering words beside him.

It's a compliment, it's the cheapest investment.

The butler showed a proud expression, and his steps leading the way were also a bit cheerful.

The last three people walked into the main hall. The butler motioned for the two of them to sit down and left.

After a while, a servant came to serve tea, and then the side door curtain opened and a middle-aged man walked in.

"What's wrong with nephew Xie Xian? He actually remembered that he visited my house?"

Xie Yu put down the tea cup in his hand, smiled and stepped forward to greet Yu Hua.

When the two parties sat down again, Xie Yu suddenly discovered that Yu Hua's smile seemed to be a bit playful.

That look was like a cat playing with a mouse.

Xie Yu suddenly realized: This old guy seems to know his identity as a bandit!
