After Ye Xiaotian made some arrangements, everyone accepted his orders and left, leaving only Hua Yunfei and Gedore in the study to continue waiting for his orders. Ye Xiaotian said to Gedore, "Old Master, when I'm not here, you must take charge of the Yang family fort."
Gedore nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sir, leave it to me!"
Ye Xiaotian then said to Hua Yunfei, "Pick a team of capable warriors and follow me to the Zhan family!" Hua Yunfei nodded, cupped his fists and bowed to him, then turned and left.
Tian Miaowen was sitting in the hall. The second pot of tea had already cooled down when she saw Ye Xiaotian rushing in, cupped his fists and apologized, "Miss Tian, my apologies. There are many trivial matters that need to be arranged one by one, sorry to keep you waiting."
Tian Miaowen stood up and said with a smile that was not a smile, "With a higher official position, there will naturally be more things to do. But no matter how capable a person is, it is not a good idea to do everything personally. In terms of seniority, there is no one in Guizhou who can be more important than Old Master An, but Old Master An is either touring the mountains and rivers every day or playing with his grandson, very leisurely. Has he already ignored the mundane affairs? Otherwise, all the matters of the An family, big and small, will still be decided by him! "
Ye Xiaotian thought carefully, then bowed to Tian Miaowen and said solemnly, "Miss's priceless advice, this Ye has learned a lot!"
Tian Miaowen was stunned. She was impatient from waiting and casually ridiculed Ye Xiaotian, but she didn't expect Ye Xiaotian to also understand the truth from it. As long as one succeeds, there is indeed no such thing as luck. Tian Miaowen looked at him deeply, the halo of a nouveau riche on Ye Xiaotian's head slightly weakened in Miss Tian's eyes.
Ye Xiaotian set off with a total of more than a hundred followers, all dressed in the same mountain seedling hunting attire, very easy to travel in the mountains. They were all equipped with two knives. One was a crescent-shaped hook knife, no more than two feet long, hanging near the waist near the wrist, and could be grabbed with a flip of the wrist.
This was the weapon that the Miao family in the mountains often carried outside. The back of the knife was curved with the blade, with two blood grooves and two wavy fingernail prints on both sides. Usually, it was a sickle for farming, a hoe for digging herbs, and an axe for chopping firewood. It could also be used to defend oneself when encountering beasts.
Don't be fooled by its unimpressive appearance, it did not have a scabbard, and was black and unremarkable without a scabbard. It was extremely sharp, and because of the crescent-shaped hook knife.
This knife's power was even stronger than a long knife. The power of the knife was Xian Xian Tian. s, Mied to Xian, Tian. Chen, Tian, Chen, a, and, "Long knife".
Tian, and Xian, Xian Tian, Long knife, also had Long Long, also did not have any scabbard. This kind of knife was similar to the world-famous Burmese Dao, it was also made of iron. This kind of knife was made by the descendants of Chiyou. It was soft, thin, light, and very strange.
Most of the time, the people who used this kind of knife used the same way they used a sword. What they needed to do was to move like lightning, nimble and swift, killing the enemy within a few moves. It was not suitable for a long battle, therefore, it was used in a sinister and ruthless way.
This kind of hunting knife, including the hook knife, was actually the most suitable weapon for fighting in the jungle. If it was outside the mountains, where two armies were facing each other, it would not be easy to display its power.
Ye Xiaotian had not given his subordinates a new set of weapons yet. First of all, changing weapons was not a magic trick, it was not easy to get them. Second of all, there were many mountains in Guizhou, Ye Xiaotian did not want to fight his way into the Central Plains and wrestle with the Zhu family, so there was no need to change weapons.
Riding on the horse, Tian Miaowen turned her head to look at the sheathless long knife hanging on the waist of a soldier. The sunlight reflected on the blade, flashing a cold light from time to time. Seeing Ye Xiaotian turn his head over, Tian Miaowen smiled and casually said: "You brought quite a lot of people!"
Ye Xiaotian replied: "Not a lot, including me, a total of 111 people."
Tian Miaowen thought about it and said: "An odd number?"
If Ye Xiaotian wanted to bring people out, there was no need for him to know the exact number of followers. Since he was so clear about it, there must be a reason. Ye Xiaotian said: "That's right! I am not going to send a betrothal gift, do I need people in pairs? "
Ye Xiaotian paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "However, if I can bring Ning 'er back, then it will be a pair." When he said this, even he did not believe it himself. If his glib tongue was able to make Zhan Boxiong bow his head and immediately offer Ning 'er to him, then he would be able to conquer the world with just his mouth.
…
"No!"
Hearing that Ye Xiaotian had come to visit, Zhan Boxiong immediately refused. Until now, how could he not know that his niece insisted on not marrying Yang Tian Wang because of this Ye Xiaotian? The two of them had not seen each other for a long time, yet they were still so infatuated with each other. If they were to meet, what would happen?
Moreover, Zhan Boxiong did not know what he could do when he saw Ye Xiaotian. Although this young man was also full of spirit, compared to Yang Tian Wang, he could not be reached. Although there was a saying, "Don't bully the young for being poor", the problem was how old Zhan Boxiong was. Could he wait thirty years?
Therefore, Zhan Boxiong did not even think about it and immediately refused. A moment later, the housekeeper came to report again, "Master, Chieftain Ye insists on seeing you!"
Zhan Boxiong sneered, "What a joke. If I don't want to see him, how can he insist on being a guest? Not seeing him means not seeing him! Oh right, keep a close eye on Ning 'er. Don't let her know about this! "The housekeeper replied and left.
Ye Xiaotian held the reins of the horse and waited outside the Zhan Family Fortress. A person came out from the fortress and said to Ye Xiaotian with a fake smile, "My master is busy and has no time to see you. Chieftain Ye, please return. If you come again, please first send a visiting card and arrange a time with my master. Then you won't be so reckless."
Tian Miaowen's eyes flashed and she said to Ye Xiaotian, "Wait here, I'll go see him!"
Tian Miaowen stepped forward. Dang Yanming and a dozen followers followed closely behind. The people from the Zhan Family Fortress blocked her way. Tian Miaowen said indifferently, "This lady wants to see Miss Ning 'er. Whether your master is busy or not, it's not a problem!"
Tian Miaowen had been in the Zhan Family for a period of time. Because of her noble status, Zhan Boxiong was also very respectful to her. The people from the Zhan Family saw this and didn't dare to be rude to her. They could only let her walk in.
"Miss Tian, don't be a lobbyist for Ye Xiaotian." Zhan Boxiong welcomed Tian Miaowen into the living room with a bitter smile.
Although the Tian family was an empty shell, Zhan Boxiong didn't dare to look down on others. Just like a person, even if he was reduced to a beggar today, with no money, no power, and nothing, once you heard that he was a descendant of the royal family and that his great-grandfather was the ruler of the world, it was difficult to treat him as an ordinary beggar and order him around.
Zhan Boxiong invited Tian Miaowen to sit and said, "This old man knows that Miss is on good terms with my Ning 'er, but this kind of thing, Miss, it's really not good for you to ask. Parents and matchmakers are not up to one's own decisions, especially for big families like yours and mine. I believe Miss will agree with this old man's words. "
Tian Miaowen said, "I understand. It's just that whether you reject or not is your Zhan Family's matter. No one else has the right to ask. If you don't want to see him, that's a bit inappropriate. "
Zhan Boxiong said, "So what if I see him? I know very well why he's here. The marriage between the Zhan and Yang Families has been decided. It's useless for him to come, so why not meet him? "
Tian Miaowen smiled and shook her head, "Senior Zhan, your words are wrong. Ye Xiaotian's power is naturally inferior to Yang Tian Wang's, but he can't be ignored now. Moreover, he's your neighbor now, so why do you have to offend him? "
Zhan Boxiong's expression changed, "So what? Do you think this old man is afraid of him?"
Tian Miaowen said indifferently, "Senior Zhan naturally won't be afraid of him, but there's no need to make a strong enemy for no reason. The young man is reckless and impulsive, and doesn't know his limits. If you let him eat a bowl of cold soup and humiliate him, he will mobilize his army to fight. It will always be troublesome, so why not say it out loud on the spot? Even if he's dissatisfied because of this, at most, he won't have any dealings with your Zhan Family from now on. There won't be a fight because of this, right? "
Zhan Boxiong thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright! This old man will give you face, so I'll meet him. "
Tian Miaowen smiled and stood up, "Alright! You can discuss your matters. Tenacious Needle is only a middleman for you. It's not convenient for me to get involved in your family matters. "
Zhan Boxiong was afraid that if she went to see Ning 'er, and if Ning' er found out that Ye Xiaotian was here, it would cause trouble again. He hurriedly called out, "Quick, invite Miss Tian to the guest room to rest." Tian Miaowen understood his intentions, so she didn't say anything and left with the housekeeper.
Zhan Boxiong stood in the main hall and pondered for a moment. Then, he waved his hand and ordered, "Go, call that Ye Xiaotian in!"
Tian Miaowen went to the guest room and waited for the attendants to leave. Then, she called Dang Yanming in and ordered, "Get ready, when Ye Xiaotian leaves …"
Tian Miaowen's palm was like a knife, and she slashed it towards her neck. Although Dang Yanming was a little surprised, he didn't show it, and only nodded his head.
Tian Miaowen said, "Tell our followers to make the move. You and I will just follow from the side and react accordingly. Remember two points: First, the person who makes the move must not have any markings on his body that can prove that he is a member of the Tian family. Second, only failure is allowed, no success is allowed! "
The Tian family now gave people the feeling that they weren't as powerful as before. When Tian Miaowen went out with a dozen followers, it suited her identity. If she had a large group of people, there would be a risk of exposing her strength. Therefore, the main forces of the retainers were all in the dark, which made it convenient for her to act.
Dang Yanming nodded his head again and retreated in a flash. The corner of Tian Miaowen's mouth slowly revealed a trace of a strange smile. Regardless of whether the negotiation between Ye Xiaotian and Zhan Boxiong was successful or not, as long as someone assassinated Ye Xiaotian, the only suspect would be Zhan Boxiong. No one would suspect her.
Once Ye Xiaotian and the Zhan family became enemies, the situation in Tongren would become even more turbulent. Because Yang Yinglong snatched away his beloved, Ye Xiaotian and Yang Yinglong would also become enemies. The Tian family could then take advantage of the situation and reap benefits from it.
The Tian family's capital was limited now. If they wanted to make a comeback, they could only do it with little effort. Ye Xiaotian, this crowbar, would become the key for her to pry open the situation in Guizhou and reorganize the political structure in Guizhou! The little oriole in the light yellow dress thought of this and couldn't help but smile, her smile was charming and charming!
