Following Xiang Wudi's order, 50,000 troops quickly got ready to go.

Since his daughter was almost kidnapped, this incident has touched the bottom line of this general of Zhennan.

He had to make these ignorant guys understand how stupid it was to provoke him, Xiang Wudi.

Xiang Wudi and Ye Hongtu are at the same level of martial arts, both are eighth-grade grandmasters.

The chief and deputy commanders of the Huben Camp are both half-step grandmasters.

Plus, with the 50,000 troops they led personally, it was simply a crushing defeat against a group of 7,000 to 8,000 bandits.

........

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Gu Changhe, who was leisurely sipping tea in the garden, moved his eyes slightly.

"What is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of him like a ghost, knelt on one knee and said:

"Master, Fujitora and his gang messed up."

"Not only did they fail to kidnap Miss Xiang, but they also captured her alive."

"I wanted to kill him at the critical moment to silence him, but I failed. I came back to report to my master."

Hearing this, Gu Changhe paused slightly, and the cup of tea that was about to reach his mouth stopped stiffly.

"What happened?"

"Although Fujitora is a character, he has the intelligence support of Qingyi Building, and the younger sister of the Xiang family does not know martial arts, so there will definitely be no mistakes."

Gu Changhe rarely showed a puzzled look.

"It's the first son of the Ye family, Ye Yunge, and the second son, Ye Yunwu."

"When Fujitora was about to kidnap Miss Xiang, they suddenly killed her."

"Fujitora was finally captured by the Xiang family's guards and taken to the Xiang residence. Not surprisingly, he will reveal everything he knows."

Hearing this, Gu Changhe's face became so gloomy that water could drip out.

"The Ye family? The Ye family again?"

A few days ago, his Miao'an Hall had just become famous, but was beaten to a pulp by the Baicao Pavilion brought in by the third son of the Ye family.

Although Miao'antang also quickly opened four branches, it seemed that it could compete with Baicaoge.

But Gu Changhe knew very well that in terms of revenue, Baicaoge far surpassed Miao'antang, mainly because Baicaoge's flagship product "Yushang Pills" had a very high cost-effectiveness.

Almost monopolized the entire market for drugs to treat trauma.

Gu Changhe originally wanted Ye Shiqing to help develop some other medicines to restore the reputation of Miao'an Tang.

However, the incident at the Ye Mansion caused Ye Shiqing to be wary of everyone in the Ye Mansion.

At this time, he naturally did not dare to interact with her as frequently as before, which led to the development of Baicao Pavilion being almost the only one to stand out, and it had quickly developed to other county towns.

According to the information from his sources, Baicaoge has opened fifty branches.

The daily revenue was as high as 22,000 taels of silver.

After learning the news that day, Gu Changhe was so angry that his teeth were almost broken, because this was the glory that originally belonged to Miao'an Hall!

In terms of business competition, the Ye family has been completely suppressed.

Even the opportunity that he had planned for so long, wanting to make Xiang Wudi owe him a favor, was ruined by those two damn brothers.

The more Gu Changhe thought about it, the angrier he became.

“Cough cough cough!”

As his vitality was restored and he was filled with rage, Gu Changhe began to cough violently.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "That's enough, that's enough!"

"Go back to the Flying Tiger Camp immediately and tell the three leaders to move to another base."

"We can't stay in Heiyun anymore. It's hard to deal with Xiang Wudi if he gets angry."

With his understanding of Xiang Wudi, he knew that Xiang Qingxue was his Achilles' heel.

If someone touches his back scales, it would be strange if the old man didn't get angry.

"Yes, Master!"

Watching the man leave, Gu Changhe picked up the teacup again and took a sip.

"The tea is getting a little cold!"

"Yes, my heart is colder than that."

"I always feel like there is an invisible force behind me, controlling everything."

"Who is it?"

“........”

In Ye Mansion, Ye Hongtu’s study.

Ye Hongtu and the two brothers of the Ye family got together.

"How could such a thing happen?"

Ye Hongtu's old face was full of smiles.

"We didn't expect that we would encounter two good things just by taking our sister out for a stroll."

The two good things that Ye Yunge mentioned were naturally Xiang Qingxue being kidnapped and their encounter with Feng Queer.

"Haha, I always feel that my sister has brought great luck to our Ye family."

"If it weren't for her, how could our Ye family have been able to avoid disaster and fortune again and again?"

"We can even seize Gu Changhe's opportunity now."

Ye Yunwu smiled happily.

"Yunwu is right. If it weren't for Yaoyao, our Ye Mansion would have been shattered."

"Where else can it be as well developed as it is now?"

"Let's not talk about the two things today. Just the Baicao Pavilion managed by Yunping, do you know how much money it has earned?"

Ye Hongtu deliberately kept the question in suspense.

"How many?"

The brothers Ye Yunge and Ye Yunwu were both full of curiosity.

They knew that Baicao Pavilion was developing rapidly, but they had no idea whether it could make money or how much money it could make.

Seeing the curious eyes of his two sons, Ye Hongtu slowly stretched out five fingers.

"Five thousand silver?"

Ye Yunwu guessed.

After all, Baicao Pavilion was established less than two months ago.

It was already very impressive to earn more than two thousand taels of silver every month.

Hearing this, Ye Hongtu knocked Ye Yunwu on the head.

"Stupid, can't you use your brain?"

"Then Ye Shiqing's drugstore's monthly income is more than this amount. Your third brother has opened so many branches, how could it be possible that it is so little?"

Ye Yunwu felt pain and rubbed his head in grievance.

"Let's talk it over, why are you moving?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ye Hongtu glaring at him sternly, so he immediately shut up.

Ye Yunge thought about it and guessed:

"My dear, could it be fifty thousand taels of silver?"

Fifty thousand taels of silver is already a considerable sum of money.

In the past, the annual income of the Ye Mansion was about 100,000 taels of silver.

Speaking of this number, even Ye Yunge laughed dumbly, he felt that he was overthinking.

However, Ye Hongtu shook his head.

At this point, he was too lazy to keep the secret any longer:

"It's more than 50,000 taels. It's a full 500,000 taels of silver."

"Five hundred thousand taels?"

"My dear, are you having a fever? Are you talking nonsense?"

Both brothers were stunned by the numbers revealed by Ye Hongtu.

What is the concept of five hundred thousand taels?

The two brothers were not sure, but they knew it was a lot of money, a lot of it!

"You idiot, do you want to get beaten?"

Ye Yunwu's words always sounded a bit unpleasant to the ear, like he was asking if he had a high fever.

Although this number does sound a bit outrageous, it is the actual income of Baicao Pavilion during this period.

"Hey, dear, don't be angry. It's just... it's just that this news is too outrageous!"

Ye Yunwu quickly begged for mercy.

"My dear, did my third brother really make so much money in just two months?"

Ye Yunge also said with a serious expression.

"nice!"

"Yesterday, that guy put a banknote of 500,000 taels in front of me just to show off."

"I was really scared."

"Guess what happened next?"

Ye Hongtu smiled like an old fox.

Ye Yunge and Ye Yunwu looked at each other. They knew that the money must have been confiscated by their father.

Seeing that they were silent, Ye Hongtu smiled and said, "I confiscated 450,000 taels directly, leaving 50,000 taels to your third brother for the daily operation of Baicao Pavilion."

"hiss!"

The Ye Yunge brothers gasped at the same time.

I think this old man is really a bad person sometimes. He even cheats his own son.

Suddenly, Ye Yunge seemed to have thought of something.

"Dear, our Ye family has so much money, I think we should also expand our strength."

Ye Hongtu raised his eyebrows: "Oh? What do you think? Why don't you tell me!"

"My dear, do you know those soldiers who took off their armor and returned to the fields?"
