When Hun Ying thought about that day when Ye Feng single-handedly defeated his two thousand men, not only did he not fall behind at all, but he was able to subdue them all in an instant, he couldn't help but begin to believe that Ye Feng might really be able to defeat him in a month.
He will raise the sword's cultivation level to the level of a great martial artist.
After leaving the capital, the carriage drove towards Bieyuan. Ye Xiaodao was holding the carriage outside, driving the carriage, with an excited look on his face. Since the death of his parents, he had been bullied everywhere. How could he be as caring as Ye Feng just now?
As for him. As the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant. In ancient times, Jing Ke was willing to take risks and assassinate the King of Qin for the favor of knowing his friend. Now he has also given his life to Ye Feng. Now even if Ye Feng is dead, he will die.
, he will die without hesitation.
Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Ye Feng looked out. Looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, Ye Feng said: "Hunying, you have been in the capital for a long time, how much do you know about the strength of the Lin Long family?"
Hunying replied: "I don't know much about the forces in the court, but I know a little about the world."
"Oh, then come and listen!" Ye Feng said.
"Although Lin Long's family does not participate in the affairs between the gangs on the surface, many Green Forest gangs are under their control. Let's just talk about the capital. Many people think that I am the biggest gang in the capital. In fact, I am not.
.I just do some business that cannot be brought to the table. The real big gangs should be the Supreme Gang and the Qinglong Club, which are controlled by the Lin Family and the Long Family respectively. The two gangs almost monopolize most of the business in the capital, including brothels.
Restaurants, pawn shops, grain shops, gold shops, etc., and there are also some illegal private salt sales behind the scenes. This private salt industry is a hugely profitable industry. The west and north of the Tianxing Dynasty are almost salt-deficient areas.
You can earn hundreds of thousands of gold coins." Soul Shadow said.
Ye Feng nodded slightly. Hun Ying was right. Salt has always been the responsibility of the imperial court, but those private salts have been banned repeatedly because of its high profits and because it does not need to pay taxes. In this way, the imperial court's tax revenue has been reduced.
The treasury must be empty, and all the money has been taken away by them. After a moment of silence, Ye Feng said: "From now on, your gang will be renamed Qinghuo. I want you to eliminate other forces in the capital within one year. You can do it."
?"
Hunying was stunned for a moment and said: "Master Feng, this is a bit difficult. We are only two thousand people, and we are all just bandits with little or average cultivation. We have to deal with two major gangs.
It’s really a bit overwhelming.”
"I will ask Qianyu to help you. Moreover, if there is any other need, I can also mobilize the army to pretend to quell the bandits and help you pacify the two gangs." Ye Feng said.
"Okay! Within one year, I will definitely capture all the underworld forces in the capital into Qing Huo's hands." Hun Ying nodded heavily and said.
Ye Feng said softly "Yes", said nothing more, and looked outside the carriage again.
At this time, a thin figure came into view. I saw a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old looking for something in the abandoned shabby house. Her thin body was trembling in the snow, and her hands were frozen.
It swelled up. However, she still kept searching. After a while, she finally found a moldy bone. It must have been picked up by some animal. The little girl wiped it with her clothes excitedly and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Stop!" Ye Feng shouted.
Ye Xiaodao reined in the horse and the carriage stopped. Ye Feng jumped off the carriage, walked straight to the little girl, and snatched the moldy bone from her hand.
The little girl glanced at Ye Feng in fear, but in the end she could not withstand the torment of hunger, and said tremblingly: "Can you change it to me?"
Ye Feng glanced at the little girl and saw that she looked quite pretty, but her face was a little sallow. She must have been hungry. Ye Feng threw the bone aside and said, "That bone is broken and can't be eaten.
Knife, take the food from my car."
Ye Xiaodao responded and brought the food over. Ye Feng took it, handed it to the little girl, and said, "Eat it!"
The little girl looked at Ye Feng blankly. Seeing that he didn't have the slightest malice, she thanked him and quickly took the food and ate it.
"Eat slowly, don't choke. What's your name?" Ye Feng asked.
"My name is Erya!" the little girl said vaguely because her mouth was full of food.
Ye Xiaodao on the side saw the little girl like this, and couldn't help but think of himself. A few days ago, he was like this, suffering from hunger. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sympathize with the little girl.
"Where are your parents?" Ye Feng asked.
Hearing Ye Feng ask about his parents, Erya stopped, her nose felt sour, and tears flowed down, "My parents are dead, and Erya is the only one left."
"How did they die?" Ye Feng continued to ask.
"They were beaten to death. Those people were so fierce. Erya was beaten unconscious by them. When he woke up, his parents were already dead, and there were fires all around. Erya finally ran out, and now he has
I haven't eaten in three days." Erya said sadly. At this time, no one noticed a cold light flashing in Ye Xiaodao's eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Feng said: "From now on, will you just follow my brother? My brother will take care of you, and no one can bully you anymore."
"Really? Erya is willing to be a slave and a maid, serving the young master for the rest of his life." Erya said excitedly.
Ye Feng heard that she sounded like someone who had read books, so he couldn't help but curiously asked: "Erya read books before?"
"Well, Erya's father is a teacher in a private school, so Erya has studied with his father for several years." Erya replied.
Nodding, Ye Feng said: "Let's go, get in the car with me, and I'll take you back." After saying that, he took Erya's hand and walked towards the carriage. He looked back at Hunying and said, "Who did it?
Of? Tell me!”
Soul Shadow nodded and followed.
After returning to Bieyuan, Ye Feng and Erya walked into the house. Sun Yan, Xiaoqian and Ke'er were stunned when they saw Ye Feng coming back with a little girl who was all broken and messy. Sun Yan walked over,
Asked softly: "What's wrong with her?"
Ye Feng turned to Ke'er and said, "Ke'er, take her to take a bath and change her clothes."
Ke'er responded, came over and took Erya's hand and walked inside. Ye Feng took Sun Yan's hand and briefly told what happened. After hearing what he said, Sun Yan sighed softly and said
: "What a poor child, Brother Feng. We will take good care of her in the future and treat her as our sister."
Ye Feng was stunned, smiled bitterly, and said: "Sister Yan, don't think so wildly. I just saw how pitiful she was and couldn't help but think of my past. When I return to the palace, I will ask my father to accept her as my adopted daughter. I won't have to do it again."
Suffering like that.”
Sun Yan said: "That's fine. Alas, but this is ultimately a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. There are only eight thousand people like her in the Tianxing Dynasty, if not ten thousand."
Ye Feng said: "I know that the party struggle in the imperial court is getting more and more intense, and all the forces are ready to move, and a storm is coming. Sister Yan, today I went to the Prime Minister You's Mansion and met with Bingcen."
"Bingcen? Then your whereabouts were exposed?" Sun Yan said in surprise.
Smiling slightly, Ye Feng said: "Don't worry, I have convinced Bingcen, and he has agreed to help me eliminate the Lin Long family." Then, Ye Feng told what happened, and asked again: "Sister Yan, you
You won’t blame me, will you?”
Sun Yan shook her head and said: "Even if you make me the queen in the future, I will not agree. In any case, I am a widow. If you make me the queen, all the officials will definitely object. In fact, as long as we can reconcile
I don't care whether you have status or not when we are together."
Ye Feng's heart moved and he hugged Sun Yan into his arms.
Not long after, Ke'er led Erya out who had already changed her clothes. After washing herself up, Erya became much more refreshed, but her eyes were still a little trembling and frightened, and they only appeared when she looked at Ye Feng.
Seems very calm.
Ye Feng looked at Erya and said, "Will you call me Ye Qing from now on? I hope your future days will always be sunny and worry-free."
Erya nodded heavily and said, "Erya will be called Ye Qing from now on. Thank you, brother."
Ye Feng smiled slightly and said to Sun Yan: "I'll trouble you to take care of her from now on, and teach her to write when you have time. I'll go find Qian Yu first, and I'll cook for you myself in the evening."
"You cook?" Sun Yan said in shock.
Ye Feng smiled noncommittally, turned around and walked out. Sun Yan was still looking at Ye Feng's back, stunned. When Xiaoqian heard Ye Feng said that he wanted to cook in person, she couldn't help but excitedly said to Sun Yan: "Sun
Sister, you don’t know, right? The prince’s cooking skills are even inferior to those of the royal chefs in the palace. Since the last time I ate the food cooked by the prince, I feel no taste in any dish I eat. I didn’t expect that today the prince would
Knowing how to cook by myself, it seems that we have benefited from sister Qing'er." As he said this, he glanced at Ye Qing with a smile.
Ye Qing blinked and asked curiously: "The eldest brother is the prince?"
Sun Yan nodded and said: "Yes, he is the current prince. He has adopted you as his sister, and you will be the princess from now on."
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment. This stimulation was too great. Life changed so quickly. A few days ago, his parents died and he became an orphan; but a few days later, he became the leader of the court.
Princess now.
Ye Feng walked outside the door and glanced at Ye Xiaodao who was waiting outside. He saw his eyes drifting into the house from time to time. Ye Feng followed his gaze and couldn't help but smile. "Let's go, come with me."
Qianyu, it’s time for me to formally teach you martial arts." Ye Feng said. (To be continued)
