In the lobby on the first floor of Yipinlou, there was a blind storyteller. He was a sloppy old man with white hair and wearing a navy blue coat. He obviously didn't fit well. He had a erhu on his hand. The erhu was the cheapest erhu, and the only feature was that it was old and dissatisfied.

The position arranged by Yipinlou for the old storyteller is next to the outside of the stairs. The table placed is only one foot wide and two feet long. The small one is a bit unresponsive, and the old one is also unresponsive. When the old man slapped the gavel, some dust would shake out on the small table, making people worried that the small table would collapse.

The middle of the second floor is empty, similar to a patio, with only a private room separated by front and back on all sides. It faces the window on the left and faces the empty patio on the right. Li Ye poured a glass of wine and signaled to Liu Zhiyan opposite the table: "This green ant wine is the characteristic of this building. It is not very fragrant. Its only feature and only advantage is that it is strong enough. Can the boss drink it?"

There were only two of them in the private room. Liu Zhiyan, who was wearing plain clothes and without makeup, took the wine pot, filled her with a cup, raised her hands, and said to Li Ye seriously: "Your Highness has great kindness to the Changhe Gang, and he will never thank him for his kindness. I respect you first!"

The case in Huangli Township has ended, and Wei Baoheng was exiled to Lingnan. However, when he reached the Huaihe River, he died "unclear and uncivilized". The court was too lazy to pursue it and just thought it was not true. After all, no one would stand up for Wei Baoheng, whether it was the Ministry of Justice or the officials of the three provinces.

A generation of powerful ministers disappeared like this, and they did not cause any waves after they died.

The Changhe Gang was not held accountable. With the help of Li Ye, he could always guarantee his merits and atonement for his sins.

Liu Zhiyan drank a glass, her face turned as usual, then poured the second glass and drank it again. After three cups, Bai Bi's flawless little face rose two bright red, and her head shook slightly. She struggled hard to open her eyes: "This wine is indeed a bit fierce!"

Seeing her crazy appearance, Li Ye couldn't help laughing out loud, and then raised his glass and said, "The boss is worthy of being a hero in the world, a man of temperament. Come on, come on, drink a few more!"

Looking at Li Ye's malicious smile, Liu Zhiyan widened her drunken eyes and wanted to refuse. However, when she heard the words "people in their temperament, she recalled this rare experience of "sharing hardships", and with Li Ye's peaceful temperament, the word "good" blurted out involuntarily.

Seeing that Liu Zhiyan was so straightforward, Li Ye almost slapped the table, and he felt even more interesting.

After drinking a few drinks, Li Ye stopped. He had no intention of really getting Liu Zhiyan drunk.

"The Changhe Gang has been away from Weishui for some time. I am afraid that the freight share under my previous name has been divided up by other gangs. This time I will definitely face a more complicated situation when I return to Weishui. I will send someone to you to help you." Li Ye said so.

Liu Zhiyan clearly shook her head a little, but she stubbornly held her head still, her pretty face turned red, and her eyes stared at Li Ye without blinking. This posture seemed to be fighting with someone.

Li Ye asked: "Do you want to be the largest gang in Weishui?"

"What?" Liu Zhiyan suddenly heard this and didn't react for a moment.

Li Ye smiled and said, "First become the largest gang in Wei River, then penetrate into Shandong, enter the Yellow River and Huai River Basin. The imperial court's canal transportation is a poor one. Don't the Changhe Gang want to get a share of the pie?"

Even if Liu Zhiyan drank more wine, she was shocked by Li Ye's words. However, because she was clear-eyed, she was stunned and didn't know how to answer the conversation.

"My subordinates don't have the He Gang now, so you appeared very coincidentally." Li Ye seemed to be smiling.

Controlling the canal transportation means mastering the lifeblood of the dynasty's taxes, and there will be a chance to control the prosperous Huainan and Jiangnan, and the world is about to be in chaos. Once the Tang Dynasty falls into a situation of dispute between princes, if Li Ye can control the canal transportation, he will gain an immeasurable opportunity in the process of fighting for the world.

Liu Zhiyan's mind was full of the words "You appeared very coincidental", but she didn't know how to answer. She was just a woman from the world, and the Changhe Gang behind her was just a small fish and shrimp. She had never thought about the first gang of Weishui, let alone entering the Yellow River, Huaihe River, and several major canal basins.

"I'll give you half a year." Li Ye drank a sip of wine, his eyes deep and sharp, "In half a year, if you can order all the gangs in Weishui, I will give you the identity of Prince An's mansion."

Speaking of this, Li Ye looked at Liu Zhiyan with his eyes deeper: "But if you can't do it within half a year, I will change someone to do it... Do you understand?"

Although Liu Zhiyan was simple, she was not stupid. She naturally understood what Li Ye said. If the Changhe Gang could not accomplish anything with his help, it would seem too useless. Li Ye would support the new He Gang and replace the Changhe Gang's position.

This is an opportunity for Changhe Gang to grow.

The Changhe Gang has never encountered such a great opportunity.

Seeing that Liu Zhiyan's eyes gradually became firm, Li Ye knew that she had made a decision in her heart, so he smiled and said, "If the boss makes up his mind, you and I will drink three more glasses, which is considered to be a 'smuggling wine as a alliance'. How about it?"

Liu Zhiyan's already big bright eyes suddenly became even bigger.

Still drinking?

Do you have any intention?

Liu Zhiyan couldn't help but shivered.

Li Ye was amused by her eyes again.

......

At this time, a snap sounded in the lobby on the first floor.

Behind the small table next to the stairs, the sloppy old man's arson was slapped on the table. Mu Chen was floating, but he seemed to be unaware of it. He said, "But King An went to Huangli Township alone and looked into the robbed warehouse. He found traces left by the thief. He immediately called a fisherman, bought his fishing boat, went upstream along the Wei River, and went to the thief's nest to get people!"

When Li Ye and Liu Zhiyan heard the movement, they both turned to look. When they heard the storyteller's passionate speech, Liu Zhiyan glanced at Li Ye: "This gentleman is wrong!"

Li Ye didn't care: "If you say it right, it's not called "written by writing history."

Liu Zhiyan said oh, but she didn't understand.

The old storyteller continued to speak excitedly: "On that day, King An drove a small boat at night and followed the map to search for the horse. Unexpectedly, at the third update, a sudden change occurred. More than ten large ships suddenly rushed out of the calm and dark river surface. Hundreds of men holding sharp blades rushed out of the night and surrounded King An! The person who took the lead was Wei Jiangnan, the former prime minister's clan who had a high cultivation level!"

"good!"

"good!"

"Well said!"

"Your Highness An is really a hero! You dare to explore the thief camp at night if you are solo boating. Such courage is really admirable!"

A big man slapped the table and exclaimed loudly.

"I heard that King An didn't go alone, so he brought the official officers from Chang'an Mansion!" A white-faced scholar whispered beside the big man.

The big man glared: "King An is full of courage. If you still need help to catch a few thieves?!"

The white-faced scholar shrank his neck: "That's it..."

"Damn it! Or you go up and say it!" The man was furious, "If you don't have it, don't mutter here!"

The white-faced scholar's face turned red, and he dared not speak out if he dared to be angry.

After the great man won, he snorted proudly: "What a hero, King An is. After several months of office, he has been investigating and prosecuting the traitorous prime minister Wei Baoheng, and repaying the bright world of the Tang Dynasty! Such achievements are unprecedented and modern! If you dare to slander King An, don't blame me for not recognizing others!"

The scholar didn't dare to say much, but lowered his head and muttered: "I also think King An is a hero..."

"Oh?" The man raised his eyebrows, and he was immediately overjoyed. He grabbed the white-faced scholar and laughed, "So he is a fellow disciple! Why didn't you say it earlier? Come on, I'll give you a cup for King An!"

"This is not going to drink alcohol..."

"If you don't drink it? That means you won't give me face? You can't give me face, but can you not give King An's face?!"

"I drink, I drink..."

Looking at the interesting scene in the lobby, Liu Zhiyan couldn't help but giggle, quickly covered her red lips, and secretly looked at Li Ye. Seeing that the other party was as usual, she felt curious: "Your Highness, what does it feel like to be praised in person?"

Li Ye said calmly: "I'm used to it."

Liu Zhiyan: "..."

Li Ye was really used to it. Since Wei Baoheng was investigated, I don’t know what happened. Overnight, the entire Chang'an City knew that this was Li Ye’s achievements. Moreover, various legends spread quickly, depicting Li Ye like a god descending to earth. It was like using his own strength to defeat the arrogant treacherous appearance, which attracted endless praise from the market.

Every time Li Ye goes out on the street, he will hear him investigate various legends about Wei Baoheng...

So, in just half a month, countless luck gathered towards him continuously, without stopping for a moment. Often, when he woke up, he found that his cultivation had taken a big step. Seeing that his cultivation had reached the late stage of the fifth level of Qi training, he was only one step away from breaking through the sixth level of Qi training!

According to Li Ye's estimate, it will not take too long to be promoted to the sixth level of Qi training. As the deeds spread, the luck that gathers every day over the past few days has been more than the previous day...

Liu Zhiyan suddenly raised her wine glass and said to Li Ye: "Your Highness, little girl, I wish you a glass!"

Li Ye glanced at her, and Liu Zhiyan actually lowered her head with a blushing face, not daring to look at him.

Li Ye said leisurely: "I wonder if the boss has heard a word?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Zhiyan raised her glass, raised her head, and blinked blankly.

Li Ye said: "Women don't get drunk, men don't have a chance. Are you not afraid of the boss?"

Liu Zhiyan was stunned and then blushed to the base of her neck.

But she didn't know where the courage came from, so she raised her head and said, "I wonder if your highness has ever heard a word?"

"You said." Li Ye said curiously.

Liu Zhiyan lowered her head again: "Your Highness is not drunk, and the young woman has no chance... Are you afraid?"

Li Ye was stunned.

Is there any such operation?

With a jingle, Liu Zhiyan's wine glass fell to the ground, and she lay on the table, her eyes closed, and she fell asleep.

Li Ye laughed silently: "It turns out that he was drunk and talking nonsense... This wine is really a magical thing."

......

Those who spend many years in restaurants include not only drunkards, but also people with temperament. It is not uncommon to temporarily hold tables.

But it is rare to see a man and a woman laughing and laughing and coming over to ask for a drink together.

Rare does not mean missing, Li Ye will see one now.

With one hand, a wine pot and the other hand, the one standing in front of the private room is a middle-aged man.

This man is burly, with a tiger-back and a bear-waisted waist. He looks like a strong army, but he is dressed as a scholar, wearing a gray cloth dress that is washed white. He stood there with a straight waist and said kindly to Li Ye with a smile: "Brother Tai is right. Wine is indeed a good thing. I wonder if Brother Tai can enjoy his face. Let's drink a drink together?"

When Li Ye saw this person, his heart moved.

He felt something strange today.
