Xue Poye had a long talk with Mr. Qiao, and he got Mr. Qiao's support smoothly. Of course, Mr. Qiao had some plans for this, but it was probably more due to Ming Xu's contribution to being able to heal Qiao Ting. As far as the Qiao family was concerned, they couldn't get it at any price, so as long as they could make Qiao Ting heal, they could pay any price.

He didn't talk about too many details. After all, Mr. Qiao is old and doesn't have so much energy, so there must be a special person to arrange these things.

As for the 5 sets of autumn clothes, it was quickly arranged. As a businessman, Mr. Qiao did not make a move to give away [-] sets of autumn clothes, but he only charged [-] taels of cost silver, and the quality of the autumn clothes was extremely high. Okay, so during this trip to Suzhou, Xue Poye gained too much. Compared with all the gains, being able to form an alliance with the Qiao family with world-class strength is really unimaginable, and it can be called a The Arabian Nights, but Xue Poye was lucky enough to master it.

For the next few days, Mingxu stayed in Qiao Ting's other courtyard. According to Mingxu's instructions, Qiao's mansion arranged for someone to deliver meals, and there were two doctors who were proficient in pharmacology waiting for orders. In a very peaceful atmosphere, A very difficult diagnosis and treatment began.

Now that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, Xue Poye will naturally not continue to stay in Suzhou. After discussing with Mr. Qiao, he confirmed the date of returning to Hangzhou.

It will take some time for [-] sets of autumn clothes, so after the production is completed in Hangzhou, they will be secretly transported to Hangzhou. Although it is a secret transportation, it just does not want to alarm too many people. The Qiao family also has no intention to hide it from the Fang family. Because this must not be concealed, it is nothing more than leaving a little face on the bright side.

In addition, the grandfather specially arranged a banquet, called Qi Luoding and three people, and at the wine table, he ordered the three people to go to Hangzhou to assist Xue Poye. Naturally, the three people had nothing to say and agreed repeatedly. As for the vacancy left by the three people, The Qiao family naturally has no shortage of people to top them, and the Qiao family's human resources are absolutely abundant.

At the wine table, Xue Poye already felt the rich experience and shrewd means of several people in their respective industries. As one of the thirteen treasures of the Qiao family, Huo Yuancheng, although he didn't speak much, every word he said They are very insightful, Xue Poye sighed in his heart, such talents are all working for the Qiao family, and it is definitely not accidental that the Qiao family can prosper for a long time.

The next day, Ye Tianxiang had a banquet again, and when he learned that Xue Poye was about to return to Hangzhou, he was quite reluctant. When the wine was full, he suddenly woke up and said with a smile: "This time, I will accompany you to Hangzhou."

Xue Poye frowned and understood something: "Could it be that you are ready to destroy Moyun Village?"

Ye Tianxiang gritted his teeth and said, "This time I am going to mobilize [-] cavalry troops and [-] infantry troops to wipe out those bandits in one fell swoop."

Tieniu heard it from the side, and was stunned, looked at Xue Poye, but finally did not speak.

Xue Poye knew that this would happen sooner or later. In Ye Tianxiang's heart, Moyunzhai had abused him for a long time, and this revenge must be avenged no matter what. If he tried to dissuade him, he might be a little unreasonable in Ye Tianxiang's eyes. I even wonder why I want to intercede for those thieves.

Although Ye Tianxiang was loyal, he was definitely not stupid. Xue Poye's elaborate plan tricked him into believing that he was kidnapped by Moyunzhai. If he persuaded him, Ye Tianxiang might have doubts, so he didn't say much.

Two days later, Ye Tianxiang mobilized his troops and led the crowd to Moyunzhai, Hangzhou, while Xue Poye followed the army, still riding in Master Shao's carriage. Tieniu's injuries had recovered a lot, but the scars were unremarkable. avoided.

Before leaving, Xue Poye naturally explained to Ming Xu, asking him to try his best to heal, Ming Xu naturally accepted the order happily, and Mrs. Qiao ordered Luo Ding and the other three to hand over the affairs at hand, and then went to Hangzhou to obey Xue Po The deployment of the night.

The main purpose of Ye Tianxiang's trip to Hangzhou this time was to wipe out Moyunzhai, but he also took this opportunity to train troops, so everything on the way was done in accordance with the regular marching regulations, and he was not allowed to enter towns to disturb the people, and all were carried out in the wild. Boarding.

Although Ye Tianxiang was still immature, he was still very concerned about military affairs and tried his best to do well. The soldiers under him feared Ye Tianxiang more than they respected him.

This trip to Hangzhou to suppress the bandits was a secret military affair, and it was not spread. Everyone thought it was a deployment mission issued by the imperial court. Because there was no war in Dachu at this time, everyone was a little surprised.

It was very dark, and when they walked to a large lake, Ye Tianxiang sent a military order and stationed there.

All the soldiers set up camp and settled down by the big lake. The generals under him would naturally arrange people to patrol and stand guard. Although everyone knew that there was nothing to guard against in this peaceful world, Ye Xunjian had always led the army rigorously, so everything was in order. Follow the rules of the regular march.

Ye Tianxiang excitedly told Xue Poye about his plan in the tent. How to encircle the fortress, how to attack, how to flank, and how to deal with the prisoners were all carefully considered. Xue Poye broke into a cold sweat. Pay attention to affection, but deep down it is quite vengeful.

When the moonlight fell, the military cook in the camp brought food and wine, and Ye Tianxiang drank with Xue Poye himself.

After eating, Xue Poye strolled out of the tent and walked to the edge of the big lake. The full moon was reflected in the lake, full and bright like light, sparkling with the ripples of the water.

By the lake, bonfires are lit, and dozens of tents look quite spectacular.

According to "Chu's Art of War", it is an excellent choice to be stationed by the big lake tonight. In this season, the most taboo thing is to live in the forest. Xue Poye believes that it is not accidental to be stationed here, presumably Ye Tianxiang also often studies "Chu's Art of War". If this son is carefully trained, he will have a bright future in the future.

Looking at the rippling surface of the lake, I suddenly saw water splashes emerging from the center of the water, like a big fish rolling there. Out of curiosity, I vaguely saw a dark shadow under the lake.

Xue Poye frowned, a little surprised in his heart, looked around, and saw that most of the soldiers were eating and drinking, and no one paid attention to the situation in the lake.

The black figure slowly cruising towards this side, the speed was not fast, except for the occasional splash on the water surface, it didn't make any noise, it seemed that it was worried about alarming everyone, and it was extremely careful.

Xue Poye couldn't help holding the cold blade, stepped back slightly, and stared at the swimming black shadow.

Could it be some kind of water monster?

Although he doesn't believe in the existence of ghosts and gods in the world, Xue Poye still thinks it is possible for some strange animals to exist.

But Xue Poye is very strange. Although this big lake is huge, it doesn’t look like a place where there are monsters. Those legendary monsters should appear in the poor mountains and rivers. The towns in this big lake are not far away. If there are monsters, I'm afraid it has been known for a long time, but I don't know why such a strange thing suddenly appeared today.

The black shadow was getting closer and closer, Xue Poye clenched the cold blade tightly. If it was really a monster, he would not let the monster run away with the strength of the army. He was even a little excited in his heart. I have seen some scary monsters in the movie, but I have never seen a real monster.

Finally, the black figure landed on the shore, gradually revealing its figure, and there was a soft sound of splashing water. Xue Poye saw very clearly through the moonlight that it turned out to be a man in tight black clothes.

Xue Poye was taken aback, why did such a person appear in the lake in the middle of the night?

The man pretended no one was paying attention to him, and carefully hid in the weeds by the lake. He didn't notice Xue Poye for a while, and took out a cold and sharp dagger from his arms. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he stared at Ye Tianxiang crept out of the grass at Ye Tianxiang's tent and ran straight to the tent.

Xue Poye suddenly understood that the man in black was most likely an assassin.

However, the experience of the man in black is obviously very ordinary. Xue Poye, a big living person, is not far away, and he didn't see it, which is really a bit incompetent.

Xue Poye was very strange. This person obviously came to assassinate Ye Tianxiang, but he didn't know which path he was on. Could it be Ye Tianxiang's enemy?

Thinking that Ye Tianxiang was still sleeping in the tent and drank a few more glasses just now, he might not be aware of the danger coming, Xue Poye couldn't help but sighed, and shouted: "Brother, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

The man in black shook his body, unexpectedly being spotted by someone, he was nervous for a while, he turned his head and saw Xue Poye, he was startled, but he rushed over quickly, raised his shining dagger, and was about to shout at Xue Poye. Before someone killed Xue Poye, he could also kill him to silence the people, so as not to alarm the officers and soldiers around him.

Although the detection ability of the man in black is not strong, but the skill of the hand is really good, two ups and downs, has already rushed in front of Xue Poye, and stabbed Xue Poye's throat with the dagger.

"The attack is vicious!" Xue Poye's body flashed sharply, and the cold blade in his hand also shot instantly.

The man in black is like a ghost, you suddenly saw him, but saw that he had already swept behind Xue Poye, the dagger stabbed down with cold air, he was fast and anxious, his moves changed suddenly, Xue Poye wanted to dodge, But Ren Jiu was cut on the shoulder by him, it was extremely spicy, but when the body dodged this faint heat, he already felt a thick liquid coming out of the shoulder, knowing that it was bleeding.

The man in black caught up without hesitation, and stabbed Xue Poye's throat with a dagger again. The eyes exposed outside were extremely red, like an enraged wild animal.

Xue Poye saw that the dagger was coming very sharply, he waved his backhand, and the cold blade went up to meet it.

"choke"!

There was a crisp sound of weapons clashing, followed by a crisp "click". After the dagger in the hands of the man in black touched the cold blade, it was sliced ​​into two by the cold blade, and the front part of the dagger fell down immediately.
