A trace of sadness flashed across Xiao Pan's face, he frowned and asked: "Is the helmsman injured?" He naturally knew that the enemy who could make Tieniu die must not be an ordinary person.
Xue Poye shook his head and said with a lonely expression: "With Tieniu by my side, how could I get hurt?"
"He has fulfilled his duty!" Xiao Pan said seriously: "He is our good brother."
Xue Poye stared at Xiao Pan and said slowly: "I'm not interested in other things right now. I just want you to lead your men to find the murderer of Tieniu."
Xiao Pan said respectfully: "I obey my orders!"
Of course Xue Poye knew that this was not a simple matter. The assassin had not left many clues, so he told the story of last night from beginning to end very carefully without missing any details.
"The helmsman said his eyes were red?" Xiao Pan seemed a little surprised.
Xue Poye nodded and said: "Yes, the eyes are red, like a wild beast." After a pause, he looked at Xiao Pan and asked: "There are not many people like this. As far as you know, are there any people with red eyes?"
A trace of gloom flashed in Xiao Pan's eyes, he hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Red Eyes also has several roles in the world. I don't dare to speak nonsense. I will report to the helmsman after I find out."
Xue Poye said coldly: "Regardless of life or death, I want to see that man's head!"
For once, Xiao Pan felt the helmsman's coldness hidden in his bones, and even felt a slight chill on his back, but this feeling made him even more excited. He needed a calm and resolute helmsman who didn't need to be arrogant.
Seeing that Xue Poye looked very tired, Xiao Pan was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and stopped talking.
Xue Poye waved his hand and said, "Tell me, tell me if you have something to say."
"Pilmmaster!" Xiao Pan came closer and whispered: "Pilmmaster, before going to Suzhou, asked me to look for Nan Huaiwu, and I have found it."
Xue Poye was startled, and finally a smile appeared on his face. He sat upright and praised: "As expected of the people under me, they are really efficient in doing things."
Xiao Pan said: "Nan Huaiwu has indeed never left Hangzhou. He is not far from the west city of Hangzhou. Now he is living a life of sunrise and sunset."
"Farming?" Xue Poye was a little surprised. Nan Huaiwu, a genius who once dominated the business world, actually started farming. This is really an unexpected thing.
Under normal circumstances, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Nan Huaiwu originally had a rich family and lived a prosperous life. He took the initiative to retire under the attack of the Fang and Lu families. A generation of geniuses actually went into hiding to cultivate. This is really necessary.
Extremely strong perseverance and patience.
"Yes, Nan Huaiwu rents land and farms. He has a wife and children. He has a son and a daughter. Nan Huaiwu teaches himself. He works during the day and teaches at night. He lives an extremely poor life." Xiao Pan said carefully:
"They are very low-key, so not many people know their whereabouts."
Xue Poye touched his nose, frowned, and asked: "In your opinion, if I let him come out of the mountain again and work for me, how sure are we?"
Xiao Pan answered simply: "If I go, I'm not even 10% sure. If the helmsman goes there in person, he might be 30% sure."
Xue Poye said "Oh" and frowned: "It seems that Mr. Nan is really hard to find."
"They seem to be used to this kind of life, and they get along very well with their neighbors. They look like farmers." Xiao Pan said slowly: "I don't think they will abandon this kind of life easily."
Ordinary people naturally pursue wealth and honor, but Nan Huaiwu, who has experienced the ups and downs of the business world, is obviously tired of the business world since he can put down his wealth and engage in farming. Otherwise, even if he is defeated by the Fang and Lu families, with his ability, he will still be able to go to other places.
Make a difference in the business world.
Xue Poye was silent for a moment and murmured: "No matter whether I can get out of the mountain or not, I have to give it a try."
Since you want to build your own business empire, talent is indispensable, and Nan Huaiwu is undoubtedly the person he needs most. Nan Huaiwu knows the Hangzhou business world well, but now his platform needs his role.
Sing it.
Even if the Qiao family is able to form an alliance with me, even if it depends on luck, then this luck may continue with me and persuade business wizards like Nan Huaiwu to be used by me.
Xiao Pan said softly: "There is something I don't know whether to say or not?"
Xue Poye nodded with a smile and said: "There is nothing that cannot be said. I have always regarded you as the most trusted person around me, so you can say anything to me."
Xiao Pan felt a little grateful and whispered: "The helmsman seems to be back with the officers and soldiers from Suzhou this time."
Xue Poye nodded, not knowing what he meant.
Xiao Pan seemed a little hesitant, but when he saw Xue Poye staring at him, he still said: "Suzhou officers and soldiers came to Hangzhou this time, but I don't know why?"
Xue Poye knew that since he asked this, there must be some reason behind it, and he did not hide it: "It is to suppress bandits, you should know about Moyun Village."
Xiao Pan seemed to have thought of this and nodded: "I understand, but...!" He glanced at Xue Poye and said seriously: "This matter must be extremely secret."
Xue Poye touched his nose and said: "Not many people seem to know that it is claimed outside to be a defense."
Xiao Pan frowned and leaned closer, "Does the helmsman really want to watch the officers and soldiers annihilate Moyun Village?"
The candlelight danced, and the shadows of the two people were projected on the wall, slightly distorted as the firelight shook.
Xue Poye was a little surprised by Xiao Pan's question. In his heart, he had never had a good impression of Moyun Village. He even died in the hands of Moyun Village, so this time to suppress bandits, although he was not very fond of it.
Excited, but absolutely no sympathy, just making Moyun Village a scapegoat.
"Don't you think they should disappear from this world?" Xue Poye's voice was a little cold.
Xiao Pan said seriously: "I dare not say more, but we have always wanted to conquer Moyun Village. Although we did not succeed, we still have some contacts. Moyun Village is also a group of heroes and has helped us, so...
…!”
Xue Poye touched his nose, frowned, thought for a while, and lowered his voice: "Is it necessary to let someone know?"
Xiao Pan said seriously: "I won't do anything without the helmsman's instructions." He said it firmly and sincerely.
Xue Poye smiled and nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "What harm will happen if I don't report the news?"
Xiao Pan immediately said: "Someone will find out your whereabouts and know that you came back with the Suzhou Army and Horses this time, so everyone will be sure that you know the purpose of the Suzhou Army and Horses coming to Hangzhou this time. If Moyun Village is wiped out, then
Some people will take advantage of this and say that you are colluding with the government, disregarding the loyalty of the people, knowing that the officers and soldiers want to kill Moyun Village but not letting it pass, which will have a great impact on your reputation and prestige."
"Who?" Xue Poye stared at Xiao Pan and asked, "Who can make excuses?"
"People who sympathize with Moyun Village, some gang organizations in Jianghu, and...!" Xiao Pan said every word: "There are also people from Zhantang."
"People from the Zhantang?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Xue Poye's mouth. He now knew to some extent that there was a conflict between the Zhantang, the most powerful inner five halls, and the outer five halls. Listening to Xiao Pan's words, both sides
The conflict between them is already very deep. It can be said that they are incompatible with water and fire. Otherwise, Xiao Pan would not be so brazen in pointing out the war hall.
Xiao Pan seemed to hate talking about Zhan Tang and just nodded.
Xue Poye touched his nose and asked again: "Then if we really give the news to Moyun Village and let them escape this disaster, what good will it do?"
Xiao Pan seemed to see that Xue Poye didn't like Moyun Village. If there was no good reason, the helmsman would really not get involved in this matter, so he thought about it and then said slowly: "If the helmsman can really give
With their news, I think I am 80% sure that they will defect to our branch."
If the people of Moyun Village really surrender to the command of the Hangzhou Branch, then the energy lost in the Battle of Savage Ridge will be greatly replenished, and the power of the Hangzhou Branch will be greatly enhanced.
For Xue Poye, this is undoubtedly a great achievement.
"Can you guarantee that if this matter leaks from us, it will not be noticed by the government?" Xue Poye put his legs together and asked slowly.
In fact, Ye Tianxiang did this matter very covertly and planned it very carefully. He claimed to the outside world that it had always been a military deployment. Although it was a bit far-fetched, no one could have expected that it was to annihilate Moyun Village.
Even Moyun Village himself probably wouldn't have expected that the government had turned a blind eye to him for so many years, but this time he suddenly made a surprise attack. He was probably not prepared at all.
Xiao Pan nodded firmly and said: "Don't worry, helmsman, I will never let them set their sights on us."
Xue Poye stood up, stretched, yawned, and said leisurely: "I'm really tired, I have to take a nap for a while." He waved his hand and said calmly: "Go and do what you should do."
Xiao Pan understood what he meant, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, bowed sincerely, stepped back, and went to Moyun Village to report the news.dd
