Hearing this familiar voice, Tang Ji stopped and turned around to look. He saw that it was indeed Ye Xiao, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Old Ye?"
Ye Xiao quickly came up to him. Besides Ye Hongling, there were two middle-aged men beside him. One was short in stature and had two tufts of mustache at the corners of his mouth, looking a bit wretched. The other one was much more steady, wearing a brown satin robe.
.
"Brother Tang, why are you here?" Ye Xiao has been very busy recently and hasn't paid much attention to Tang Ji's whereabouts. He didn't expect to meet him here.
Ye Hongling's eyes were also focused on Tang Ji. After taking a closer look, he felt incredible. After not seeing each other for just one year, this kid has actually broken through to the second level?
Could it be that he practiced some evil magic?
Similarly, Tang Ji had no news about Ye Xiao since she broke up with him not long before they got married. He looked up at the plaque above with some suspicion and made sure it was not the Ye family's escort agency. Then he showed doubts: "Of course I
You have a mission from the imperial court, and why are you here in Longling County?"
"I discussed a little matter with Master Sun." Ye Xiao responded with a smile.

Then, he turned sideways, spread his fingers and pointed at the calm man behind him on his right: "Let me introduce you, this is Sun Zhong, the head of the Sun family."
After he finished speaking, he turned to introduce Tang Ji to Sun Zhong: "Master Sun, this is the most talented man in Ning Guo, Tang Ji, whom I mentioned to you!"
Sun Zhong opened his slightly narrowed eyes and quickly bowed and saluted: "So this is the world-famous Lord Tang Jitang, disrespectful!"
"I don't dare to live up to my reputation." Tang Ji returned the greeting with a smile.
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Sun Zhong straightened up. Although he didn't know what happened, he could still see the scene where his guard drew his sword and drove Tang Ji away. He frowned and glared 1
Guard nearby: "What's going on?"
The guard hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "To the head of the family, this gentleman said he wanted to see you, but you said so."
"Shut up, what did I say? I said that if there are distinguished guests coming, please go to the side hall first. Mr. Tang, who is your status, how can you allow you to draw a sword on me? If you don't have the eyesight to see things, you still can't compensate Mr. Tang, right?
!" Sun Zhong looked solemn and scolded.
Although his Sun family has a Jin'an governor, he is far less impressive than the young man in front of him. Not to mention that the cooperation between him and Ye Xiao will inevitably involve the Jiran Chamber of Commerce in the future. Naturally, the relationship cannot be ruined just because of a minion.
.
Hearing this, the guard realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Ji: "Master Tang, I hope you can forgive me for my blindness."
"Actually, it's nothing!" Tang Ji smiled and waved his hand.

Ye Xiao saw that he and Sun Zhong did not know each other, but Tang Ji would never do meaningless things. He blinked his eyes, rubbed his thumbs, and asked calmly: "Brother Tang, you just said that the court would give you
I have a mission, does it have something to do with Master Sun?"
Tang Ji raised his lips slightly, Ye Xiao was indeed Ye Xiao, and he knew how to cooperate with him, so he immediately replied: "Yes or no, I was ordered to lead troops to garrison Yinshui Bay this time to ensure the safety of the Salt Making Department. Who would have expected this?
One day, a group of pirates known as the Aotian Gang repeatedly provoked me. They even burned down my army barracks this morning. I was so angry that I wanted to go to those pirates to settle accounts. The soldiers were all full of fighting spirit, but suddenly they discovered a problem.
, we don’t have a ship, and after asking around, we learned that in the entire Longling City, only the Sun family has one large merchant ship.”
Ye Xiao immediately understood what he meant and coughed softly: "So, this pirate is so rampant and unrestrained. We must not let him go leniently. Otherwise, if he dares to attack the soldiers today, he may threaten Longling City in the future. Tang
It is a blessing for the people of Longling that my brother has the intention to suppress bandits!"
"Oh, it's a pity that the Sun family's merchant ship refused to be loaned out. That's all. I'd better think of another way. Let's go first. Lao Ye, I'll treat you to a drink later!" Tang Jiyi shook his head helplessly, then turned and left.
"Brother Tang is righteous, Ye must support it, isn't it just a boat? I will go back immediately to mobilize connections to help you raise money!" Ye Xiao said a word and quickly chased after him.
Seeing this, Sun Zhong quickly said: "Master Tang, who said that my Sun family's merchant ship will not be loaned out!"
Tang Ji stopped and pointed to the guard who had just gotten up from the ground: "He said you said it yourself."
"You slave dog, how dare you tamper with my words!" Sun Zhong said angrily.
The big guard's mouth twitched. These were obviously the original words of the family master. He had tampered with them, but he did not dare to talk back. He knelt down again: "Master Tang, please calm down. Maybe the villain heard it wrong.
If this misunderstanding occurs, I will go down and be punished!"
"Go, go, go!" Sun Zhong 1 kicked him on the butt, then walked up to Tang Ji and the others with a smile: "This ship had some problems a few days ago, I mean you can only borrow it if you repair it.
It’s not that I didn’t borrow it, it’s all because of that dog slave, who almost caused Mr. Tang to misunderstand my Sun family. Now the merchant ship has been repaired and parked on Long’an Beach. Mr. Tang can take it whenever he needs it!”

After listening to his words, Tang Ji pretended to suddenly realize: "So that's the case, I'm going to say how could the Sun family master not support the government's suppression of bandits? This is very good, then I will first express my condolences to the Sun family master on behalf of the Xiaolin guards and the people of Longling County.
Thanks!"
"No, this is what ordinary people should do!" Sun Zhong replied with a smile.
In this way, the three of them stood there and chatted for a few more words. Sun Zhong originally wanted to invite Tang Ji to come in and sit down, but the latter declined politely and they parted ways.
On the street, Tang Ji and Ye Xiao walked side by side: "Thanks to you this time, otherwise I don't know what to do."
"Brother Tang, why are you so polite to me?" Ye Xiao replied nonchalantly.
Tang Ji raised his hand and rubbed his sore eyes, then asked: "By the way, didn't you go find the murderer who persecuted your father and his wife back then?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiao shook his head: "No results. Uncle Ye just happened to find out that there was a family that was massacred in the south. The wounds on those people were indeed similar to those back then. Unfortunately, no clues were found about that person, but I have sent people to track it down.
Those who have grudges against this small family, I hope there will be results."
After listening, Tang Ji stopped, raised his hand and patted his shoulder: "I will definitely find out!"
"Yeah!" Ye Xiao nodded in response. After adjusting his mood, he smiled lightly and said, "Since I left Jingwang County, I found that the world is quite wonderful. Looking back now, if it weren't for Brother Tang's guidance, I'm afraid
I’m still trapped in it, feeling depressed all day long.”
"Goodbye Yuyu, you're doing well the way you are now." Tang Ji replied with a shrug.
Hua Yuan'er, who was following behind and looking around at the roadside stall, interjected: "That's right, be happy while you are alive, God will sooner or later send the person you want to see to you!"
For example, he had been thinking about Su Su, but God made him meet Wu Tao.
Ye Xiao did not continue to dwell on this topic, but instead said: "Brother Tang, I'll give it another try and still want to join Xiaoyao Pavilion!"
Hearing this, Ye Hongling on the side frowned: "Master!"
Ye Xiao raised his hand to signal him not to speak, and continued to say to Tang Ji: "To be honest, my dream when I was young was to be a free and easy knight who didn't worry about the world. However, my father died and I was forced to take over the family.
, I have not done well in these years, and I am not happy at the same time. Now I am threatened by Chaozong Palace. If this continues, the Ye family will be ruined in my hands sooner or later. Therefore, I need to entrust the Ye family to someone who can make me
Don’t worry, you are a capable person, and that person is probably only you who can do the job.”
After listening to his words, Tang Ji pursed his lips and couldn't help but smile: "I have seen some people want to seize power and become the boss, some people want to seize the throne and become the emperor, and some people will do anything to climb up by stepping on others. This is the first time I have seen this.
Take the initiative to give away a person from a powerful family who is willing to be the younger brother!"
"Yes, being your little brother is safe and secure, so why not!" Ye Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief and replied.
Tang Ji walked forward for a long time, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I agree to accept you as my little brother!"
"Thank you, brother!" Ye Xiao sneered and said with cupped hands.
Hearing this, Hua Yuan'er quickly squeezed in between the two of them: "Hey, this guy is my little brother, you should call me eldest brother!"
