The Great Hero [Comprehensive Martial Arts]

"People are gone?"

"Yes, this subordinate watched with his own eyes that the son of Prince Nan boarded the boat with two entourages."

Ye Gucheng half-closed his eyes, with an indifferent expression on his face, as if he didn't pay much attention to the news, but when the guard who came to report the news was about to leave, he nodded at the housekeeper who was standing beside him.

This is what it means to be rewarded.

Noticing the small movements of his own city lord, the guard couldn't help showing a bit of joy on his face.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he is worrying about not being able to get a gift when he takes his wife back home for a visit. This is great, it doesn’t matter whether the reward is expensive or not, as long as it is marked with the sign of the city lord’s mansion, his old man Both the husband and the mother-in-law will be satisfied with the appointment.

Not long after, the old housekeeper took the attendant to the warehouse to receive the reward, and then hurried back to the study.

He told the guards outside the door to be vigilant and not allow others to approach at will, then he closed the door and asked Ye Gucheng for instructions in a low voice: "City lord, look, should we make preparations in advance?"

For example, blockade the surrounding sea area and prohibit non-Baiyun City residents from entering and leaving at will.

Not to mention that Nan Wang's son was neglected in Baiyun City, and he has not yet achieved his goal. After returning to Lingnan, he will definitely not let it go. The old housekeeper guessed that the Nan Wang would send troops to ask for an explanation before the New Year is over.

This is the territory of Baiyun City, so the old housekeeper is naturally not worried that they will not be able to withstand the troops of King Nan.

He was just afraid that the people in the city would be accidentally injured in the chaos.

Ye Gucheng pondered for a moment, before he said: "For the time being, there is no need to do this. Even if Nan Wang intends to make trouble, he must prepare for a period of time, so there is no need to disturb the people's New Year's joy right now."

but--

"Wait until tomorrow, and you can call back those people who are working outside."

Baiyun City has kept people in charge in its business bases in various parts of the Central Plains. Although the King of Nan may not be discouraged by them, it is better to call these people back as soon as possible.

As for the loss of business, Ye Gucheng didn't care much about it.

In recent years, Baiyun City has accumulated a large amount of wealth through various industries. Even if there are tens of thousands of people in the city, Ye Gucheng can afford it.

What's more, just interrupting the business relationship with the Central Plains does not mean that Baiyun City has no other sources of income.

There is more than one Feixian Island in the South China Sea. Before Ye Gucheng became the lord of the city and opened up business exchanges with the Central Plains, Feixian Island relied on trading with nearby islands to maintain its livelihood.

The old housekeeper nodded and said: "Then tomorrow morning, I will send someone to take a boat to the Central Plains to meet him."

In fact, if you only want to send messages, you don’t need manpower. There are a group of falcons specially domesticated in the city lord’s mansion. It is obviously much faster to send messages with flying eagles than manpower. However, most of the people in charge of business outside are just ordinary people, and they still send guards. It is safer to respond.

After finalizing this matter, the old butler noticed that it was getting dark.

He glanced at his own city lord who was still sitting at the desk, concentrating on his affairs, and seemed to have no intention of taking a break, and suddenly said: "I heard that Young Master Zhu told you to pay attention to rest before parting?"

Ye Gucheng: "..."

Very helpless.

Is this the first time the housekeeper has used this method to 'remind' him to go to bed early?

To be honest, it's only Xu time now, just because it gets dark early in winter, even if you want to rest, there's no need for it now, right?

Facing the somewhat speechless eyes of his own city lord, the old housekeeper straightened his face and said earnestly: "City lord, I have something to say - you are not too young now, and you are no better than those ten or twenty Such a young man, even if he has internal strength, he can't bear to suffer casually."

"This is just in case the body is broken..."

I'm afraid he will be disgusted by Young Master Zhu in the future.

Of course, the old butler didn't say the latter sentence.

But looking at his expression, Ye Gucheng can also guess it.

So Ye Gucheng's originally only three-point cold face suddenly added a bit of chill.

It's a pity that apart from Chu Xiao, the only person in the world who is not afraid of Ye Gucheng's cold face is the old housekeeper. The old housekeeper continued very calmly: "It's nothing right now, but it will take another ten years. Young Master Zhu is upright in his youth, but what about you, City Lord?"

His city lord was old enough to be confused at that time!

Old and in poor health or something.

It is really likely to be abandoned!

The corners of Ye Gucheng's eyes twitched indiscernibly, the chill on his body seemed to grow more serious, but in his hand - he silently closed the half-read paper letter.

……

After leaving the study, Ye Gucheng planned to practice sword for a while.

This time, the old housekeeper did not stop his own city lord anymore. After all, after sitting in the study for a long time, exercising his muscles and bones is also good for the body. He just reminded Ye Gucheng, pay attention to the time, don't practice too late .

Ye Gucheng pretended not to hear.

He has been busy with official duties recently, and the son of Nan Wang came to disturb him every day, so he had to shorten the time of his sword practice. Now that he is rarely free, he naturally planned to practice to his heart's content.

But God did not wish.

Ye Gucheng had just walked into the back garden, and before he had time to draw his sword out of its sheath, he saw a guard rushing over in a hurry.

"City Lord, there is a person who claims to be a subordinate of Young Master Zhu came to visit outside the door, saying that there is a letter that he wants to hand over to you personally, look—"

Do you want to meet me at the door?

The relationship between Chu Xiao and Ye Gucheng is unknown in the entire Baiyun City. Under the instructions of the old housekeeper, the whole city lord's mansion has long regarded Chu Xiao as another master. As the saying goes, they love the house and Wu. They respect Chu Xiao, so naturally they dare not Neglect Chu Xiao's subordinates.

Moreover, this was the first time someone from Master Zhu's side came to visit.

They can't afford to lose manners.

The guard kept an extra thought, thinking about hurrying to send a message, so that his city lord could go to the door to greet him in person, to show how much Baiyun City attaches importance to Chu Xiao.

Before the guard finished speaking, Ye Gucheng walked out.

He was rarely eager.

In the past, Ye Gucheng certainly would not have believed that one day he would be so concerned about a person, and even when he and Chu Xiao had just parted, Ye Gucheng did not feel particularly reluctant.

At least not as reluctant as Chu Xiao showed.

But really when he was alone...

It was so deserted, so deserted that Ye Gucheng, who had been like this for 30 years before meeting Chu Xiao, felt uncomfortable everywhere.

When eating, there is no one coquettishly around him to feed himself; at night, one person’s breathing and heartbeat are missing from the pillow; in leisure time, no one will wrap around his shoulders or nest in his arms, asking for it from time to time kiss.

Ye Gucheng finally felt the taste of missing.

He even subconsciously counted the time in his mind.

It's because Chu Xiao said when he was parting that he would come to Feixian Island to look for him after the new year.

Contrary to the treatment of Prince Nan's son, the dragon guard who came to deliver the letter was not only welcomed into the mansion by Ye Gucheng himself, but also received extremely warm hospitality from all the members of the city lord's mansion.

A beautiful white-clothed maid brought hot water, twisted a brocade handkerchief, and wiped away the fatigue and sweat on his face from the journey, and the old housekeeper with a friendly and peaceful smile personally offered him a cup of hot tea, and then Even City Lord Ye, who looked extremely cold, asked him about his troubles.

Flattered.jpg

Before setting off, he was instructed by his own commander thousands of times, not to be intimidated by Ye Gucheng's overpowering aura, and indirectly fell into the face of Chu Xiao's dragon guard: "..." It feels like the commander is bluffing him, right?

City Lord Ye's aura is extraordinary, but it's not as scary as the commander described.

I feel that Ye Chengzhu is actually a cold-faced and warm-hearted person.

During this period of time, Nan Wang's son, who was stupefied by Ye Gucheng's high coldness, said: ...The differential treatment is terrible.

After handing over the letter to Ye Gucheng, the dragon guard did not forget to add: "Commander Wu ordered his subordinates to send a message to City Lord Ye, saying that please reply as soon as possible after reading the letter."

Ye Gucheng frowned slightly, feeling that the situation was different from what he expected.

If it was just an ordinary greeting letter, why did Wu Gui have such an entrustment?Could it be that there was some trouble with my little lover?

Before opening the letter, Ye Gucheng would never have thought that this letter was not written by his little lover at all, but after opening the letter——Ye Gucheng was rarely at a loss.

What does it mean that my little lover's elder brother suddenly wrote to invite me?

and also--

What should he address when he writes back?

Seeing Ye Gucheng's expression changed, the housekeeper standing beside him couldn't help becoming curious. He squinted his eyes and glanced quickly, but he didn't see the content clearly, so he was taken aback by the signature at the end of the letter.

Incredible!It turned out to be a letter from the future uncle of my city lord! !

Could it be that Young Master Zhu's family members have objections to their city lord and object to young master Zhu being with his city lord?

The worried old housekeeper couldn't help taking two steps forward, trying to see clearly what was written in the letter, but at this moment, Ye Gucheng suddenly closed the letter.

He pondered for a while, and then said to the dragon guard who was waiting for his reply in a very solemn tone: "Your Excellency, please stay here for one night, and tomorrow, Ye will reply along with the letter."

Well, my little lover's elder brother has sent letters and invitations, so he definitely can't refuse.

It's just that he still has to think about how to write this reply.

Especially the title issue.
