385 What good end will Yelu get?
It can be said that unless Nan Batian can really find that batch of weapons and capture the Zoroastrian demon and use the human head to clear the suspicion on himself, he will have to bear the blame.
As for whether Nan Batian still has any value to him, such as his martial arts skills as the number one person in Mianshui, I'm sorry, that's really not worth mentioning.
In Yelu's eyes, the masters of Hua Jin are just a group of stronger subordinates. Unless they reach the Qi and Blood Bao Dan realm, they are all ants. Of course, even if they reach the Qi and Blood Bao Dan realm, they have to kneel down and beg for surrender in front of the powerful imperial court!
The imperial court is Yelu's greatest confidence. As for a local gang or its leader, in his eyes, they are just small figures who can be abandoned at will without any scruples.
…
The headquarters of the fishing gang!
Nan Batian sat back in his seat safely. Looking at the bruised Qin Ying, he couldn't help but say, "Qin Ying, you are such a loser. You can't even do such a small thing?"
Qin Ying had a hint of resentment in his eyes when he heard this, but he soon knelt on the ground and said, "Boss, I am incompetent. Please punish me!"
Nan Batian said, "Humph, forget it. I won't talk about this this time. Also, notify the merchants in the city that the Mianshui River will continue to be closed for at least half a month. If they want to ship goods, they can come to me. The price is still 50% profit. Of course, if they are not satisfied, they can go to Lord Yelu to complain."
"If you can't sue me, then just pay the money."
After hearing this, Qin Ying bowed and said, "Yes, boss. I will do it immediately."
Seeing this scene, Tang Ziyue said, "Sir, why don't we restrain ourselves a little?"
Nan Batian was stunned and looked at Tang Ziyue and said, "Constrain? Conservate for what? What is there to restrain? This matter has already been exposed. Can it be worse than it is now? Don't worry, it's okay. Notify them and do as I say. Tell those merchants that within these fifteen days, if they don't pay the money, don't even think about shipping a grain of sand out of Mianshui County!"
After hearing this, Qin Ying clasped his fists and retreated. When he got outside, Qin Ying looked behind him with an extremely deep look in his eyes, and continued to move forward without stopping.
Tang Ziyue saw Qin Ying leave, looked at Nan Batian and said: "Boss, Lord Yelu has already warned us today. If we continue to do as we please, I'm afraid Lord Yelu will be dissatisfied with us!"
After hearing this, Nan Batian looked at Tang Ziyue and couldn't help but feel that his military advisor was so naive.
The reason why Yelu didn't turn against him now was that he hoped that he would find the weapons. As long as they found the weapons, they could still maintain the superficial peace. Of course, if they couldn't find the weapons, then I'm sorry, he would become a pawn abandoned by Yelu.
So he is now fighting for his life, so except for the weapons, he doesn't need to have the slightest expectation for anything.
As for him continuing to make money from the water transport, he would just make money. Yelu would turn a blind eye to it. He would not argue with himself about this little bit of profit at this time.
Moreover, the ditch owner took away the biggest profit. He made 60,000 taels, and he took 40,000 taels...
Nan Batian calmed down and said to Tang Ziyue, "Ziyue, it's ok. The matter has been basically resolved. We don't have anything else to do. In this case, you can go down and rest first. As for the other matters, I will take care of them."
"But the gang leader!"
Tang Ziyue looked at Nan Batian and said, Nan Batian smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Seeing that Nan Batian was determined to drive him away, Tang Ziyue had no choice but to bow and leave.
Watching Tang Ziyue leave, Nan Batian clapped his hands, and soon a middle-aged man with ordinary looks and wearing black clothes came out from the inner hall. He was the leader of the death squad trained by Nan Batian.
The man saluted Nan Batian and said, "Boss!"
Nan Batian looked at him and asked, "How is the Beishan Iron Mine going?"
The man said, "Boss, we have already started building it according to your instructions, but it will take some time."
Nan Batian said: "Well, there are at least ten days left. Can it be completed within ten days?"
The man said, "If we follow the number the gang leader said, it will be a bit difficult. It will take a lot of effort to make these arrows to meet military standards."
Nan Batian said: "Who said we have to meet military standards and lower the standards?"
The man heard this and said, "If the workmanship is rough, ten days should be enough."
Nan Batian said, "Okay, I'll give you another ten days. The workmanship doesn't need to be too elaborate. The Zoroastrians are a bunch of rebels. No one will believe them if they make things too elaborately. Also, you don't have to be so strict about the quantity. 80% is enough."
"If it's the gang leader, then he can definitely complete the task."
Nan Batian asked: "Where are the assassins?"
The man said, "Don't worry, Boss. The assassins are ready and are willing to die for you."
Nan Batian said: "Well, they are all great, but it's a pity that they have to be the rebels of Zoroastrianism this time."
The man said, "Their mission is to die for the leader. It's not a pity."
Nan Batian said: "Okay, I'll leave the matter over at Beishan to you. Also send some people over to help me move some of the treasures in my secret room. If there are any more problems, I can leave."
"Boss, you want to escape?"
Nan Batian said: "Nonsense, what do you mean by escape? What I did was called transfer. Okay, go ahead and do it. Be careful to be secretive."
"yes."
The man bowed, stood up, looked at Nan Batian and said, "Boss, do you have any other instructions?"
After hearing this, Nan Batian hesitated for a moment and said, "Husband, is there any news about the lady?"
After hearing this, the man was silent for a long time and said, "There is no news at the moment."
Nan Batian sighed and said, "Keep sending people to look for me. You must help me find my wife."
"yes."
The man withdrew. Nan Batian looked up at the sky and said, "Wan'er, where are you?"
…
In a small alley in the south of Mianshui City, Chen Jie looked at Bai Wenjing nervously. At this time, Bai Wenjing had a calm expression and put her hand on the pulse of the woman in front of her.
After a long time, he let go of his hand and stood up.
"How is it, Master?"
Chen Jie looked at Bai Wenjing, who was silent for a moment and said, "The fetus is breathing steadily and is very healthy."
"Huh~"
Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Huang Wan'er, who was sitting on the chair, also stood up to thank Bai Wenjing. When this woman was not crazy, she was also very well-educated and sensible.
Bai Wenjing stretched out her hand to stop him and said, "You are pregnant, so forget about these customs. Just take good care of the baby."
After hearing this, Huang Wan'er said, "Thank you, Master Bai."
Bai Wenjing took the medicine box and wrote a prescription for restoring the fetus and replenishing qi, saying, "Get some medicine and replenish your body as usual."
Chen Jie immediately said, "Yes, I'll arrange for someone to get the medicine right away."
Bai Wenjing said: "Okay, just say whatever you want to say, I'll leave first."
Chen Jie said: "Master, I will take you there."
As they spoke, the two turned and walked towards the west room. They opened the door of the west room and found a secret passage inside. This was the safe house set up by Chen Jie.
Under normal circumstances, the gate outside the yard is not open.
Everyone coming and going leaves from the west room.
The house that Chen Jie bought has a direct access to another street from the basement of the west wing. In this way, people passing by will only see that they are coming out of a wine shop on another street.
But I didn't know that the underground passage of the wine shop could lead to this courtyard.
Chen Jie sent Bai Wenjing to the tunnel. Bai Wenjing looked at Chen Jie and said, "The baby in her belly was washed away by the toxins of saffron. It is very important to protect the fetus at this time. I didn't say it just now. It would be best to check it every seven days, or take it back to the mansion to take care of it directly."
After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Bai Wenjing and said, "Master, I want to, too, but she refuses to go back home, so I have to trouble you to make a few more trips."
Bai Wenjing sighed and said, "That's good. Yunjin is pregnant too. If we bring her back home, although Yunjin can't say anything, she's in a bad mood, which can easily lead to an unstable pregnancy. Sigh..."
Bai Wenjing sighed again and looked at Chen Jie and said, "You are committing a sin!"
Chen Jie was scolded by his master, and he could only smile and say, "Master is right."
Bai Wenjing said, "Don't tell her what I said. Ask her maid to regularly prepare the pregnancy-maintaining medicine I prescribed. Pay attention to rest and don't let your emotions fluctuate too much. There won't be any big problems. I'll come back to check on the situation in seven days."
Chen Jie immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master."
Bai Wenjing didn't say anything, but turned and left, went down the tunnel, and walked out of the wine cellar on another street. He was picked up by the younger brothers of the White Tiger Hall and took two jars of wine with him.
He went out, got in the carriage and drove away.
The few fishermen outside who were watching looked at each other and left, muttering in their hearts, this Doctor Bai has a good alcohol tolerance. He comes here every seven or eight days to buy two jars of wine...
Send Bai Wenjing away.
Chen Jie returned to the yard. Huang Wan'er sat on a rattan chair, touching her belly and asked, "Chen Lang, is our baby okay?"
Chen Jie was stunned, and smiled at Huang Wan'er, "What are you thinking about? It's okay."
Huang Wan'er said, "Don't lie to me. Master Bai's eyes just told me. Is there any hidden danger in my child because I ate the saffron?"
Chen Jie squatted beside Huang Wan'er, touched her belly and said, "Haha, don't think too much. My master said it's okay. As long as we take pregnancy-preserving medicine regularly, our baby will be born safely."
"But Wan'er, can you come back with me? If you're here, there will always be things I can't take care of. I'm afraid something might happen."
Chen Jie tried to persuade Huang Wan'er again, but Huang Wan'er shook her head and said, "I heard that Miss Su is also pregnant?"
Chen Jie said: "Yeah, you two can be companions together?"
Huang Wan'er shook her head and said, "No, I won't go and make things worse. I'm fine here. Besides, you've been fighting Nan Batian to the death recently, and I don't want to distract you because of me."
Chen Jie said: "It's okay, I can handle it."
Huang Wan'er's emotions have become much more stable since she became pregnant, and she finally acts like a normal woman.
Huang Wan'er looked at Chen Jie, reached into her arms, and took out a jade ring.
He handed it to Chen Jie and said, "This is our Huang family's heirloom. When I married Nan Batian, my heartless father gave it to me in order to curry favor with Nan Batian. I have been carrying it with me. It is said that it can keep people safe. I give it to you, Chen Lang. You must pay attention to your own safety when fighting Nan Batian. I hope you can accompany me to give birth to our child."
Chen Jie looked at the beautiful jade ring with blood stains on it that Huang Wan'er handed over. It was obviously very valuable and definitely a one-of-a-kind piece.
Chen Jie had an impression of this jade ring. It had always been hanging on Huang Wan'er's neck. During those crazy days, Chen Jie had seen this jade ring swinging up and down on that white jade neck countless times, and he was deeply impressed.
"Give it to me!"
Chen Jie looked at Huang Wan'er.
Huang Wan'er nodded and said, "Yes, I'll give it to you. It's like I'm by your side."
Chen Jie nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I understand."
Chen Jie accepted the jade ring, then looked at Huang Wan'er and said, "Wait for me, I will be able to kill Nan Batian soon, and then I will send a sedan chair to take you back to the palace."
Huang Wan'er smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Chen Jie talked to Huang Wan'er again and stayed with her for a while. He said that one must take good care of a pregnant woman's emotions.
The two of them just chatted and were very intimate with each other, but neither of them did anything out of line. After all, children are important.
