At three o'clock in the morning, the sky becomes slightly brighter.

The gate tower of Nanshan City reflects the cold white eastern sky, showing a trace of simplicity and desolation.

In a small mansion in the city, the lights from the master's study remained on all night long.

A soft white mist of spiritual tea floats on the long table. Its owner is sitting in a chair, looking at the tea soup in a trance.

The years of hard work on his body did not leave too many fine lines on his face. As one of the four surnames in Nanshan and the head of the family, Han Rong seemed to be recalling the last time he had a hard night.

?

Ten years ago, or twenty years ago? He was not sure.

But at this time, not only did he not feel tired at all, but he could clearly feel that the hot blood was rushing at high speed under his skin and in his chest. Even the strong and powerful heartbeat could be clearly heard in his ears.

.

During the night of Yanling, the spies planted in the county sent five sword letters in a row. The Zhu family and the thieves in the mountains were killed and blood flowed. If the reinforcements had not arrived in time, one of the four surnames in Nanshan would have been expelled?

However, what is the final result?

Hundreds of thieves were all killed, and their corpses invaded the streets. Even the piles of heads in Jingguan were over a foot high.

How many years have we not seen scenes like this, not to mention Nanshan County, but also the whole of Yinzhou, which has been at peace for a long time?

Thief? Thinking of these two words, Han Rong sneered in his heart.

If an ordinary thief gave him the courage, would he dare to attack the county seat and kill the famous families in the county? I'm afraid it's not just an idiot's dream, no, he didn't even dream of doing this!

It would be interesting to know who was behind this incident.

While Han Rong was thinking, there was a soft knock on the door, and a figure flashed in and said hurriedly.

"Dad, Zhun Xin'er is here from Yanling."

"Oh? What do you say?" Han Rong's eyes flickered and he looked up at Han Yu'an.

Han Yu'an replied: "I heard from the scattered reinforcements for this battle that this group of thieves came from Jinya Village in Mianshan, led by the second master Qiu Hongshou, and came specifically to the Zhu family."

Han Rong looked startled, a little confused. "Reinforcements scattered in all directions?"

But Han Yu'an nodded. "Yes, dad, we thought this was wrong. The reinforcements were not from any party, but from various merchants' guards. When they heard the reward from Lin Xiao, the soul-hunting envoy, they immediately killed him.

It’s over.”

Han Rong showed an expression of sudden realization. "Is it the sentence mentioned in the Second Sword book that after Lin Xiao showed up, he said, 'You will be rewarded with one altar if you are captured alive, and two if you are killed'?"

"That's it. Unexpectedly, a simple sentence turned out to be an opportunity for a comeback." Han Yuan said with a smile.

Han Rong was slightly in a daze after hearing this. From the moment the sword fighting book said that reinforcements appeared, he couldn't help but guess who was helping the Zhu family resolve this crisis.

But no matter what, I didn't expect that the merchants who had gathered in Yanling County, waiting to snap up the Zhu family's "Jinquan Brewing", would actually become the key to breaking the situation.

Thinking of this, Han Rong showed approval and said softly, "This kid is extraordinary..."

Hearing what his father said, Han Yu'an's eyes flickered and he seemed to have something to say, but stopped at the last moment.

Such an expression happened to be seen by Han Rong, who smiled.

"What? My son is not convinced?"

Han Yu'an hesitated for a moment and said simply: "It's hard to say whether I'm convinced or not, but the person shouting along the street was not Lin Xiao, and my father also said at that time that this plan may not be feasible. Now, now..."

"Did my son say that my father was an afterthought? Haha..." Han Rong smiled after hearing this.

Han Yu'an's face turned red and she bowed. "I don't dare, kid."

"Why don't you dare?" Han Rong waved his hand and said seriously: "As for this matter, firstly, the so-called superiors don't know their intentions, and the subordinates dare not invite them. No matter who goes to shout along the street, as long as Lin Xiao doesn't say anything, whoever is below will

Nor dare to raise his sights or fight his flag. Military strategists often say that this is the principle of the commander attacking the strategy and the general assisting the planning."

Han Rong rubbed the armrest of the seat and groaned.

"These two, regardless of the value of the Zhu family's 'Jinquan Brewing', my father suspected that his plan would not work. It was out of consideration for people and people. Now that it has happened, it can only be said that through the 'Yuanhuang Grand Ceremony'

'After his appearance, this man has already gained momentum. Although no one noticed it, his words gained a little more weight in the silence."

"With these two, we can respond to one call and resolve the Zhu family's crisis. Do you understand, my son?"

When Han Yu'an heard this, he recalled the scene at the ceremony that day. When Lin Xiaofu appeared, he was really amazing and talented. Not to mention others, he even cheered loudly without realizing it, and his chest was filled with excitement.

For once, within the five counties of Nanshan, as long as he speaks, who can despise him?

Thinking in his mind and having some understanding, Han Yu'an bowed and replied: "Yes, I understand, kid."

Han Rong naturally saw the expression on his son's face just now, because more competition among people of the same age is not a bad thing, so he didn't say much and directly posted this article.

He asked again: "What about the leader of the thieves? Can he be captured?"

"We haven't captured him. According to the spies' report, it was said that the Lin Immortal Envoy failed to pursue him and failed to keep the leader of the thief." Han Yu'an replied.

"Not caught?" Han Rong frowned slightly, "This is a bit troublesome..."

Seeing this, Han Yu'an said again: "Although I haven't captured him, there are some rumors, which is quite unexpected."

"Rumors?" Han Rong asked.

"Yes, the sword book said that Lin Xian envoy came back. He seemed to have learned something from the Zhu family and his son. He was a little angry at once. In a few words, he mentioned Huang Zhangyou and said that he needed to go to the main hall immediately to ask for help.

Master Ni reported this."

Han Rong's expression changed and his tone was slightly surprised. "Is this happening? The Huang family?!"

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately frowned and seemed to be thinking of something else, muttering to himself: "Huang family? Zhu family? Ni Jing? Hiss... Could it be that the problem with the Zhu family's Yuquan Brewing was the work of the Huang family?"

Lin Xiao revealed what he said at this time. Is it true or false? Is he planning a conspiracy?..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a soft "dong" sound from the door, as if someone was throwing a stone at the door.

When Han Rong and his son heard the noise in the house, they stopped and looked at each other. Han Yuan turned around and walked out. After a short effort, he came back with a small square wooden box in his hand.

"Dad, I don't know who threw this thing. When the child went out, he was gone. He was surrounded by guards, but no one noticed it." Han Yu'an put the wooden box on the case and added: "We have checked it out, and there is no hidden weapon."

, and there is no spiritual energy fluctuation."

Han Rong looked puzzled and nodded lightly. Without saying anything, he reached out and slowly opened the lid of the box and looked inside.

But it didn't matter if he didn't look at it. Just one glance made Han Rong stand up in horror. He knocked over the tea cup on the table with a "bang" and didn't even notice it. He kept repeating: "This, this, this..."

Even Han Yu'an was so horrified that his face was covered in cold sweat, his face was bloodless, and he couldn't utter a complete syllable at all.
