"You seem to be more anxious than I am. Does my memory have any important value to you?" Ye Haoran's tone was very flat, so flat that it had never been colder.

White Cat sometimes regrets why he found a host with facial paralysis, so that he often can't guess what Ye Haoran is thinking.

"...There is nothing to hide, is there?" Ye Haoran looked at the white cat's blue one-eyed eyes, his expression was still zero.

"Naturally." The white cat admitted.

However, Ye Haoran was not interested in asking the question, he glanced lazily at the white cat, and went to sleep without saying a word.Tossed by strange dreams in the middle of the night, and because of Liu Yu's existence, he couldn't let go of his vigilance and fall asleep, so it was not safe until now.

"You... You came to me just to buy this kind of news?" Gao Yan looked puzzled and distressed, as if he had been humiliated.

"Otherwise? What news should I buy?" Ye Haoran asked calmly.

Gao Yan raised his head triumphantly and replied, "Of course it's about the recent actions in the north!"

Bianhuangji is the place where the news is most well-informed in the world. If there is any trouble in the north and south, whether it is a fact or a rumor, it will be spread there first.Therefore, there are "wind media" in the local area who specialize in selling news. People who do this business must be proficient in various languages, have excellent connections, and have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of the news. It is not something everyone can do.Gao Yan is the chief wind media of Bianhuangji.

Ye Haoran glanced at Gao Yan indifferently, and said expressionlessly: "What does the actions of the north have to do with me?"

Gao Yan was suddenly jumped up by Ye Haoran's attitude that it had nothing to do with him: "You are a Han Chinese living in the wilderness, right? If you call from the north, you will end well? Haven't you heard that the northern The action is not simple, and there are rumors like going to war?"

"...just rumors," Ye Haoran thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "After Wang Meng's death, Fu Jian planned to go south, and such rumors never stopped. The Jin Dynasty had the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and Fu Jian did not want to succeed. It’s not easy, and you won’t act rashly.”

Gao Yan stared blankly at the serious face paralyzed in front of him, Ye Haoran analyzed with a calm attitude: "During the Huainan battle that ended last year, Murong Chui captured Nanyang and joined Fu Pi in Xiangyang. After defending Zhu Xu for nearly a year, he was captured in February when the city was broken. Fu Jian sent Peng Chao to besiege Pengcheng. Xie Xuan led [-] Beifu soldiers to raise troops from Guangling. They won four battles and wiped out the enemy army. The battle is just a test, and the real battle should come later. Fu Jian fought in the north for years, and the fertile fields were turned into scorched earth, and the production was abandoned. Big, I guess he will make a big move in the next big battle, so it seems that he should have another year or two to prepare."

"Tsk tsk, I can't see that you are so knowledgeable, Boss Ye. Everyone in Bianhuangji is waiting for the big event to come. There are not many people who are interested in talking about marriage. If Boss Ye is really as you said, the two I'm afraid you won't have any business in Nian!" Although Gao Yan had a look of admiration, there was a hint of gloating behind it.

Ye Haoran deeply believed that he didn't open this matchmaker shop to make money, but he couldn't starve himself. It seemed that he had to find other ways to earn living expenses for himself.

"I have a suggestion!" Gao Yan rolled his eyes and smiled, "Boss Ye might as well join our business and hang out with me. Anyway, there is only one word difference between wind media and being a matchmaker!"

Ye Haoran didn't have any expression on his face, but Gao Yan saw the irony in Ye Haoran's black eyes, like a cat's eyes when seeing the skinny mouse he sent to the door, neither disdain nor reluctance.

Ye Haoran's back is straight at all times, and sometimes Gao Yan thinks that he may have been a soldier before, and his every move is frighteningly calm.Gao Yan felt that it was very difficult to cheat him...

"Hey, forget it if you don't want to! I don't mind it!" Gao Yan quickly changed his words, he didn't want to provoke Ye Haoran, who was not easy to mess with.

Ye Haoran looked away from Gao Yan, and calmly said: "So that Beifu soldier who came here... the news you gave him is related to the northern regime?"

"Hey, Boss Ye, if you want to know, pay the money first!" Gao Yan was indifferent to the word "Beifu Bing", Bian Huangji advocated freedom the most, and officials and the army are all taboos here.

Ye Haoran ignored him, he didn't want to know this, he just tested whether Gao Yan——Liu Yu was from Beifu soldiers.

And the answer is obvious, Gao Yan did not deny his conjecture...probably because his calm expression is too confusing...

A scout from the Beifu army came here, what else could he do other than listen to news from the north?You don't need to pay to know.

The situation between the north and the south...it seems that it has begun to become chaotic...

It is not advisable to stay in Bianhuangji for a long time, and it is really troublesome to think of a way out.

"Didn't you say it will take two more years? It's only been one year now!!" Gao Yan jumped up and down.

Ye Haoran corrected: "I'm talking about one or two years."

"In wars in troubled times, news is the most valuable. You should be happy that your time to make money has been brought forward." Ye Haoran added quietly, but there was a light-hearted ridicule in his words.

In the past year, Ye Haoran's business has been so poor that he failed to make a deal!

In the end, although he was not considered a high-ranking gangster, he still became Gao Yan's advisor...

Sometimes the selling of news is not easy, and a series of summary analysis is required. Ye Haoran is responsible for helping with the analysis, and then collects Gao Yan's commission for selling the news.

In this way, the two are quite familiar with each other.

"Why don't you pack your things?" Gao Yan was used to teasing Ye Haoran's paralyzed face. At first, he felt that the contrast was too great to accept, but later he realized that he was deceived by the appearance of his paralyzed face!

The news of Fu Jian's army coming from the south spread to Bianhuangji, and the south, north, and west gates were immediately closed by other ethnic groups, leaving only the east gate controlled by the Han gang for Han people to escape from disaster.

Dongmen Street was crowded with Han men and women who were about to leave the border for a desert, and people kept pouring in from the branch roads to join the exile brigade.For a while, the sound of people shouting, horses, donkeys, and wheels rubbing against the ground filled the prosperous Dongmen Street next to yesterday.The doors and windows of all the shops were locked, and no one wanted to be Fu Jian's slave, so they had to pack up their valuables and leave in a hurry, embarking on the unpredictable road of escape.

Ye Haoran can also feel the "lively" outside in the store.Gao Yan came to ask a question at this time, enough to see that he is a very good friend.

"I'm all alone, I can go anytime." Ye Haoran didn't need to pack his things, he had nothing to pack.

Gao Yan was stunned, and suddenly sighed: "I used to think you were weird, but now I know where you are. Let me ask, is there anything in this world that is worth your attention?"

Ye Haoran remained silent.

For this world...he's just a wandering soul without a past.He felt out of place in the Luohe era, and he still feels the same here.

"The news came last night that the Di Gang, the Hongnu Gang and the Qiang Gang immediately mobilized all of them. First, they jointly blocked the large and small piers in the northeast of Chengji, confiscated all the ships at anchor, injured and killed more than [-] people, and forced the Han Gang and Han people can only escape by land." Seeing Ye Haoran's silence, Gao Yan immediately changed the subject.

"To add insult to injury, kill people and loot goods." Ye Haoran made a precise judgment.

Gao Yan said helplessly: "Doesn't it mean that it's not safe to go anywhere?"

"Choose a remote place to escape, or you can save your life." This is Ye Haoran's suggestion.

Gao Yan thought for a while, then suddenly smiled: "I won't leave here, as you said, this is a great time to make a fortune."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Ye Haoran shook his head lightly, disapproving.His calm temperament makes his words often convincing, and Gao Yan is no exception.

"What? You don't think it's safe? But... I'm prepared to retreat, so I'm not in a hurry." Gao Yan laughed triumphantly.

"You have a secret passage to leave the collection." Ye Haoran's analysis and judgment continued to be accurate.

Gao Yan raised three fingers and said with a smile: "Want me to tell you? I will give you a friendly price."

Ye Haoran took out three copper coins from his pocket expressionlessly and put them on the table.

"Hey, old #zi said three taels of gold, gold! What do you mean by giving three pennies?" Gao Yan gritted his teeth with hatred.

"I thought your friendship was very valuable, but it turns out that even three taels of gold can't be worth it..." Ye Haoran looked at Gao Yan calmly.

"It's a friend who can't let me have nothing to lose!" Gao Yan yelled dissatisfied.

"You won't lose a favor of mine." Ye Haoran was bargaining.

"In the abandoned courtyard of the Liang family in the northeast of the city, there is a lotus pond in the east garden. The waterway runs through the Yingshui, and it is more than ten feet long, enough for one person to enter and exit. By the way, it is near the base camp of the Di Gang, so be careful " Gao Yan hesitated and said it out, and then said in frustration, "I didn't tell you anymore, and I was blackmailed by you in a while! It's really a big loss to stay any longer! Remember that you owe me a favor!"

After speaking, he bounced up suddenly, and got out of the window like a smoke, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ye Haoran hugged the white cat and ran out of the jungle path, and a small dark castle appeared in front of him under the bright moon. Castles like this are scattered all over the area north of the Huai River, and they are unique products of the times. However, the Wubao in front of him has obviously been abandoned for a long time. The grass is overgrown, the outer wall collapses, there is no light, and the entrance becomes a black hole without a large door leaf.

Since the Yongjia Rebellion, Wubao has become a stronghold for the survival of the people who have been devastated by the war. People from the same village or surname live together as an armed self-defense unit surrounded by high walls, self-sufficient.
