Your Majesty said that my life is worthless, so why are you crying when I increase my troops?

At that moment, Zhao Hongying pulled the four people aside and told everyone in Fengyu Tower in detail what Xia Mingyuan had done in the city in the past few days.

When she finished speaking, Yue Hanshan and others were stunned and stood there with their eyes wide open.

"Miss, has he really earned over a hundred thousand taels of silver in the past few days and even opened an escort agency?"

"It's not an escort agency, it's called Kunlun Security Company." Zhao Hongying nodded gently. "You heard about the martial arts competition a few days ago, right? Two of the top three were subordinates of Master Xia!"

"I've heard of this Kunlun Security Company." Han Zhaohu crossed his arms, frowning slightly. "I heard someone mention it when we sneaked into the city yesterday."

"They say Kunlun Security welcomes challengers every day, and you can win a thousand taels of gold. If I wasn't worried about exposing my whereabouts, I would have wanted to go in and give it a try."

Yue Hanshan sighed and said, "So, this Young Master Xia is indeed extremely capable, but is he truly reliable?"

"He is Xia Tianxiong's son. If he is recruited again in the end, if we follow him, wouldn't it be a waste of time and we would be making wedding clothes for Xia Tianxiong in vain?"

Zhao Hongying shook her head and looked at Xia Mingyuan deeply.

"Uncle Yue, I believe in my own eyes. In fact, you can all feel the deep hatred in his heart when he talked about Xia Tianxiong."

"Young Master Xia once told me that if I wanted revenge, following him was my only option. No matter what, I had to try."

"I've been following him recently. Although he's overbearing, he's not as sinister and vicious as Xia Tianxiong. I think he can be trusted."

"And... from what I know, Xia Tianxiong killed his mother. How can such hatred be easily resolved?"

Zhao Hongying's words made the four of them shudder.

Yue Hanshan's eyes flashed with brilliance. He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking slowly, "If this person is really as Miss said, then he is indeed the person our Fengyu Tower is looking for!"

"However, we can't all trust him just yet."

"How about this, Li Chun and I will follow the young lady and serve him first, and see if this person is someone we can trust."

"Zhang Kui, Han Zhaohu, the two of you will leave later. Take the money you have saved over the years and find a way to form a team. In case Xia Mingyuan is unreliable, you can be prepared for emergencies."

"it is good!"

The four of them looked at each other, didn't say anything, and nodded in agreement immediately.

"What? Have you discussed it all?"

Xia Mingyuan looked at the four people coming and said in a calm tone.

The moment they fought each other, he had already developed a liking for these four people.

Although they have the explosive troop system and will not lack smart and capable generals, each of these four people is quite strong and has the level of Dragon Warriors. If they are used, they will definitely not be worse than soldiers who only know how to fight!

But it is not a good deal to be the one who is chasing after others. These four people obviously do not believe in me. If I say too much at this time, it will only lower my value.

"Mr. Xia, we apologize for our previous offense. The two of us are willing to stay with the young lady and work together for a great cause!"

"Okay, since you are willing to stay, I will not treat you unfairly."

"It just so happens that my troops outside the city are short of a general, so I'll leave it to you, General Yue, to lead them. In a few days, a military advisor who can arrange the troops will be there to assist you."

"Don't worry about money and food. In a month, I will send troops to wipe out all the banditry around Hanyang."

The other person lowered his head, and Xia Mingyuan stopped being polite and spoke immediately.

Anyway, the soldiers released by the system would never betray him, so Xia Mingyuan was not worried at all that Yue Hanshan would do anything.

Yue Hanshan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xia Mingyuan would make him the commander-in-chief right away. For a moment, he couldn't believe his ears.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem with General Yue?" Xia Mingyuan asked indifferently.

"No, it's all based on the commander's orders." Yue Hanshan came back to his senses and looked at Xia Mingyuan with a complicated look.

"Commander Xia, what about me? Since you've made Boss Yue a general, you should at least give me some official position, right?"

"I'm not bragging. Although my martial arts skills aren't as good as Boss Yue's, my abilities in climbing walls, sneaking through doors, picking locks, and gathering information are second to none in all of Hanyang. People in the martial arts world have nicknamed me the Thief Saint!"

Li Chun rubbed his hands with a smile and glanced at Xia Mingyuan.

Xia Mingyuan looked Li Chun up and down. Before he could say anything, Zhao Hongying suddenly said, "Li Chun was the commander of the scout battalion under my father's command. He was good at going deep behind enemy lines and gathering intelligence."

"However, ever since my father was wrongly accused and defected from the army, there are wanted warrants everywhere, making many things less convenient."

Xia Mingyuan's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Chun with surprise.

These people are more useful than he imagined!

Li Chun's ability must not be underestimated. To use the words of later generations, this guy is probably a congenital spy saint.

He nodded without hesitation and said, "Your ability is quite useful. Come with me into the city first. I have a more important task for you."

After instructing Li Chun, Xia Mingyuan looked at the two people behind Zhao Hongying, "Where are they? Will they stay or leave?"

"Sorry, we two have other plans. Goodbye!"

Han Zhaohu and Zhang Kui looked at each other, turned around and left the temple.

Xia Mingyuan looked at the backs of the two people as they left, looking back every few steps, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After this little episode, Xia Xue no longer had the heart to worship Buddha.

Looking at the two assassins who had previously tried to assassinate her, both of them had joined Xia Mingyuan's army, Xia Xue couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart.

Could it be that the reason why Xia Mingyuan kept her was that he wanted to use the identity of the Princess' Mansion as a cover?

Li Chun and Yue Hanshan untied the monks who were tied up in the house, and everyone got on the carriage and returned to the city.

"Li Chun, I heard you say earlier that it was Sun Wenju who offered a bonus of 30,000 taels of silver, which allowed your Fengyu Tower to come out and assassinate the princess?"

Sitting in the carriage, Xia Mingyuan frowned slightly and asked Li Chun.

"Yes, Commander Xia, that damned Sun Wenju, although he is not a good-for-nothing, he is quite generous with money. Thirty thousand taels of silver is enough for our Fengyu Tower to work for a year."

"It's a pity that, for Commander Xia's sake, I can't get the 30,000 taels of silver."

Li Chun spread his hands, looking somewhat helpless.

Xia Mingyuan nodded slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

I didn't expect Sun Wenju's revenge to come so quickly! He even dared to attack my aunt!

It seems that I was too soft-hearted when I extorted 100,000 taels of silver from his family.

Suddenly, Xia Mingyuan's eyes lit up. He glanced at Li Chun and slapped his thigh.

"Who said that the 30,000 taels of silver can't be obtained?"

"Just do as I say and make sure Sun Wenju delivers the money!"
