The town where Ruyi Hall is located is called Ruyi Town, located at the junction of the Ming Dynasty and the Tatar Dynasty, if there is no war between the two countries, the merchants from the south to the north gather here, sell the silk, tea and other goods of the Ming Dynasty to the Tatars in the north, and sell the good horses and leather goods of the Tatars to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is also the time when there is no war, if the two countries are fighting together, Ruyi Town immediately becomes the battlefield of the two countries, the people in the town will go away, and when the war is over, the merchants will gather in Ruyi Town again, and Ruyi Town will be lively again.

It can be seen that Ruyi Town is not necessarily satisfactory at all, at least when the two countries are at war, it will not be satisfactory, the reason why it is called Ruyi Town may just be that the local people hope that this place can be satisfied.

Half of the business in Ruyi Town is Ruyitang, Ruyitang is wealthy, dominating one side, and is a veritable head snake in Ruyi Town.

When Wei Dongming returned to Ruyi Hall, it was not yet noon.

Ruyido, hall!

There is a long table in the hall, about seven feet three inches long, about four feet five inches wide, there is a tiger skin chair at the top of the long table, and two backrest chairs are placed on each side, ordinary people dare not sit on these five chairs, and only the five bosses of Ruyitang can sit on it, so these five big chairs are not just chairs, they symbolize power and wealth.

At this time, Xia Yiping, who "left no trace for thousands of miles", sat on the first chair with a back on the right, leisurely sipping tea, and a thin middle-aged man sat opposite him, and a young woman with heavy makeup sat next to Xia Yiping.

The middle-aged man has a white face, dressed in a blue brocade robe with very elaborate workmanship, and always has a faint smile on his face, looking extremely kind, and there is a fine light in his eyes from time to time, which makes people feel that this person is extremely shrewd at a glance.

This person's name is Xu Kuohai, he is the second boss of Ruyitang, nicknamed "Iron Abacus", although Wei Dongming is the big boss of Ruyitang, but he rarely takes care of things, if Wei Dongming takes care of business all day long, how can he practice knife skills to today's realm? The real manager is Xu Kuohai, and Xu Kuohai is taking care of the large and small accounts of Ruyitang, "Iron Abacus" Xu Kuohai took care of Ruyitang in an orderly manner, and the accounts in his hands were never missed, not once, it can be seen that he is indeed a shrewd and capable person, with such an iron abacus, what is Wei Dongming worried about?

The young woman with heavy makeup is wearing a red dress, like a blooming flower, particularly good-looking, the woman's name is Hu Xian'er, she is the five bosses of Ruyitang, because Hu Xian'er wears a red dress all year round, and is called "the fairy in red" by people in the rivers and lakes.

As soon as Wei Dongming stepped into the hall, the eyes of the three of them looked at the door in unison, and when they saw that it was Wei Dongming, the three of them hurriedly got up, Xu Kuohai and Hu Xian'er both smiled and shouted in unison: "Big brother, you're back." ”

Wei Dongming nodded.

"Fairy in Red" Hu Xian'er's gaze fell on the Soul Breaking Knife in Wei Dongming's hand, and said in surprise: "Big brother, this is the rumored Soul Breaking Knife?"

"That's good!" Wei Dongming said and pulled out the Soul Breaking Knife, the pitch-black blade, the snow-white blade, the Soul Breaking Knife exuded a compelling aura, which made people shudder.

"Iron abacus" Xu Kuohai's eyes lit up and sighed: "Good knife." ”

Xia Yiping saw that Wei Dongming retrieved the Soul Breaking Knife within the time limit, and knew that he had lost the gamble, but Xia Yiping's face did not show annoyance, it seemed that he had lost not one million taels of silver, but one hundred taels, Xia Yiping said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Boss Wei retrieved the Soul Breaking Knife so quickly, it seems that this trip went extremely smoothly." ”

Wei Dongming said lukewarmly: "If it weren't for the help of nobles, Wei would not have been able to come back." ”

Boss Wei laughed. Xia Yiping said with a smile.

Wei Dongming said coldly: "Do you think Wei is joking?"

With a hot face and a cold buttocks, Xia Yiping was not embarrassed, changed the topic, and said: "You won this gamble after all." As he spoke, he took out a stack of thick silver tickets from his bosom and put them on the table, and then said, "Can Boss Wei tell me about this trip?"

Xu Kuohai put away the silver ticket on the table and said, "The younger brother is also very curious, and the eldest brother will sit down and talk to us." ”

If it were on weekdays, Wei Dongming would really be interested in talking about the experience of this trip, but now Wei Dongming is worried about the safety of the knife, as the saying goes, saving people is like fighting a fire, and there can be no delay at all, Wei Dongming glanced at the tiger skin chair that only he could sit on, and did not sit down, and said to Hu Xian'er: "Fifth sister, you quickly go and gather brothers who are good at skills and light skills, the sooner the better." ”

Before the words fell, a loud voice suddenly came from outside.

"I heard that the eldest brother is back!"

While speaking, I saw a person who was taller than Wei Dongming and burly walked in, not so much burly, but fat, it was accurate to say that he was fat, this person was tall and fat, like an iron tower, more than two heads taller than ordinary men, and the interesting thing was that a short and thin woman sat on the shoulders of this person, compared with this person, the woman looked like a baby, two people, a man and a woman, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, looking extremely weird.

The man's name is Fei Sheng, the fourth boss of Ruyitang, nicknamed "Giant Spirit God" in the rivers and lakes, and the woman's name is Yu Hong, who is the third boss of Ruyitang, and her temperament is stronger than that of men, and she has the name of "Little Whirlwind".

When Wei Dongming saw the two of them, he couldn't help but smile knowingly, and said, "The third sister and the fourth brother came just in time. ”

"Little Whirlwind" Yu Hong and "Giant Spirit God" Fei Sheng said in unison: "Big brother, but you have something to explain?"

Wei Dongming said: "This trip to the Central Plains, if it weren't for the rescue of the knife boy, the little brother would never have been able to return safely, and now the knife boy is in trouble, do you think we should come to the rescue?"

Fei Sheng said without thinking: "Since he is the life-saving benefactor of the eldest brother, of course he will be saved, otherwise, others will think that the people of our Ruyi Hall are ungrateful." ”

What the fourth brother said is extremely true. Yu Hong smiled.

Wei Dongming bowed his head and said: "The words of the fourth brother are exactly what I want, fifth sister, quickly go and gather people, everyone is together, let's set off immediately." ”

"Wait a minute, the eldest brother, and the younger sister will go and gather people. Hu Xian'er said and hurried out of the hall.

Yu Hong showed a strange look on her face and said, "Big brother, your weapon?"

Wei Dongming smiled bitterly: "My life is almost gone, where can I take care of weapons." ”

Several people were shocked when they heard this.

Xu Kuohai said: "It seems that the eldest brother Zhongyuan and his party must be extremely dangerous?"

Wei Dongming said in a deep voice: "It's like walking in front of the ghost gate, the situation was urgent, and in desperation, I had to hide the weapon, otherwise, I would have become a dead man." ”

After a pause, he continued: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but if I don't hide my weapon, once my identity is revealed, it doesn't matter if I die, and then I will also be involved in the sword boy and his party, which is really a last resort." ”
