After some negotiations, Meng Xian was rescued and the invaders left safely.

The messy Meng family suddenly became quiet, leaving only the people responsible for the aftermath to rest and rectify the damaged areas, rescue the wounded, etc.

After a simple inspection and bandage, Meng Xian hurried to the conference hall and saw Ling Yunwu and the shopkeeper of the Meng family.

The Meng family is a family-owned enterprise, so everyone below calls the head of the Meng family the boss.

The person who is now in charge of the Meng family headquarters in Yangzhou is Meng Dong, the chief shopkeeper of the Meng family. He also has several apprentices, all of whom are scattered everywhere in charge of the Meng family’s workshops.

Meng Dong is not tall, has a solid figure, a flushed complexion, her eyes are always wide open, and her face is covered with a circle of steel needles and white beards. Because she is obsessed with forging techniques, she wears work clothes and aprons all year round and wanders around.

When an outsider sees him for the first time, he will definitely regard him as a teacher and will never be associated with words such as the world's number one master of forging and the head of the family.

But this inconspicuous old man not only improved various siege and defending equipment during the Anshi Rebellion, helping the Tang army win countless victories, but also good at making weapons, institutions, and things produced by the Meng family are priceless on the black market.

However, they do not accept customization, but only occasionally provide a batch of standard weapons, which is not cheap, but most people can afford it, or they may be on a whim, or give it or sell a few magic weapons. Those magic weapons will not cause bloody storms, but will cause huge waves of money. Any one is worth more than one million, attracting countless wealthy people to fight for the rich.

In short, the Meng family lives a very good life by relying on this business model that has not opened for three years and has been open for three years.

At this time, Meng Dong was talking to Ling Yunwu. Meng Xian welcomed him and bowed and said, "Big Shopkeeper."

"Captain Meng...cough cough cough." As soon as Meng Dong opened her mouth, she started to cough violently. Her whole face was flushed and it was like bleeding.

He has been studying skills by the stove all year round, and he can't help but inhaling some charcoal and dust. Over time, he has this old problem. It was fine when he was young, but he couldn't hold on when he was old.

Every time I cough, I always feel like I am about to return to the west immediately. After coughing, I can still use a much louder volume than ordinary people to continue shouting and my disciples and grandchildren are blowing hard.

There was a guest here today, Meng Dong could barely hold back, coughed a few times and held the rest in his chest. After his breath was stable, he picked up the tea and moistened his throat. He nodded apologetically to Ling Yunwu before speaking.

"Captain Meng, thank you for your hard work tonight. Wait for you to count the number of people to see how many injured and killed, and tell Butler Lin and let him put it down according to the pension mentioned earlier. If there are no relatives, use the money to buy some better coffins and choose a Feng Shui treasure land and bury them together."

The Meng family's temporary guards are very expensive, which also shows that it is dangerous when recruiting workers, but for the sake of high salaries, danger is not a big deal at all.

Money is much more important than life these days. There are so many people who learn martial arts. If you are not a top-notch master, you have no chance to appear. You can only show your yard and deliver goods.

"The big shopkeeper, I finally caught the trace of the assassin today, why didn't I take the opportunity to take it down? People have entered the Meng family in the past three days, but each of them has gone swagger. If we can't take one or two, what else can our Meng family have to gain a foothold in the world?"

What Meng Xian didn't understand was this. Why did the little girl from the Ling family just show off and let the assassin go? Moreover, Meng Dong did what she said. Even if she is from the Ling family, she doesn't have to give such a big face?

Ling Yunwu smiled and said, "It was mainly because of Captain Meng's safety that he allowed the assassins to leave."

"Which is more important, the face of the Meng family or my safety?? If you don't teach those people a lesson, you really think that my Meng family is their back garden!"

Meng Xian wanted to show her spirit as a captain of the guard in front of Meng Dong, but when she saw the delicate and elegant Ling Yunwu, her eyes couldn't help but look around her.

"Miss Ling, the Meng family spent a lot of money to hire Ling's Wuwei, but they didn't let you come here to speak big talk. The guards paid a considerable price to surround people. You let them go with a word 'Don't bully the weak', so what are you here to do?"

This time he forgot who was trying to show off just now, and let everyone wait for the assassin to surrender.

Facing Meng Xian's eyes full of **, Ling Yunwu was a little unhappy, but Meng Dong was still on the side and it was not easy to do it. She just shook a sharp look: "Captain Meng, the assassin came to assassin repeatedly to assassin, and someone must have done it deliberately. Just grabbing the assassin can only avoid this assassin. He also needs to find out the person behind the scenes to understand this matter."

"Then are you sitting here waiting for the commander to come to the door?" Since Ling Yunwu came, Meng Xian, the garrison captain, was like a younger brother. With a wave of his arm, he had to run by. He was exhausted in the past few days of modifying the defense, so many places were not too careful, so he could pass by just by just making do.

"Meng Xian!" Meng Dong's voice was already loud, and he suddenly scolded him and even the dust on the roof was about to shake off. "Commander Ling has informed me of her arrangements. You just need to cooperate with all your strength, and there is no need to ask more about the others."

"Big shopkeeper, subordinate... I will go and count the number of people in my hands first."

Meng Xian was poked by a sharp sword-like look and then he was thunderous. He remembered that he was here to express his loyalty and make up for the disadvantages of doing things. As a result, he accidentally became fascinated by seeing the beauty and started talking nonsense. Now he is awake, and quickly finds a reason to leave.

Then Ling Yunwu also stood up and saluted Meng Dong: "Grandpa Meng, Xiao Wu also checked the defense situation everywhere to see if there was any place that needed adjustment."

After both of them left, Meng Dong asked, "Have the people from the Tang family returned?"

Butler Lin, who is more like the head of the family, replied: "The two elders of the Tang family said that Mr. Tang was seriously injured, so he went back to heal the wound first."

Meng Dong dug his earwax and said disdainfully: "Hmph, the people in the Tang family all look sarcastic. Even the young master is thin and tender, and he is sissy. Mom. Look at him like that, I guess I can't even hold the lightest hammer. I still want to think about my baby granddaughter? Dreaming!!"

When there was no outsider, Meng Dong instantly put down the majesty of the big shopkeeper and turned into an ordinary old man.

Butler Lin smiled bitterly and said carefully: "After all, the Tang family took the initiative to help, and in order to capture the assassin, Young Master Tang was also injured. We have to express our opinions."

"Okay, okay, you go and arrange it."

"Yes, the big shopkeeper."

...

Outside the Meng family...

Xiao Hei gently hugged Fei Yao and calmed her violent emotions.

Mingyou carried Wen Jin helplessly and said, "Hey, please pay attention. There is still someone here who is dying!!"

Fei Yao left Xiao Hei's arms, glared at Ming You, then checked Wen Jin's condition before going up again.

The three of them were flying quietly on the eaves, but they didn't see it, as if something had fallen to the ground...
