"The child has grown up..."

On the street of Yunjiazhuang, Yun Ye looked at the bustling crowd in front of him and sighed.

Lin Zhongtian turned his head and looked at Yun Ye, smiled slightly and said: "Who are you referring to, Daya?"

"What else?" Yun Ye said unhappily, "In my heart, this girl is still the little kid she was back then, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, she could actually seduce the wild boy out there!"

Lin Zhongtian laughed out loud when he heard this.

Yun Ye glared at him and said unconvincedly: "What are you laughing at? Daya was taught by you. Even if we are not in the name of master and apprentice, we are in fact master and apprentice. I don't believe you want to see her being pursued by a wild boy outside!"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "You can't say that. When I met Daya, she was already a grown-up girl. That was my first impression of her, so her mental preparation was naturally different from yours."

Yun Ye thought about it again and again, then shook his head and said, "No, when I get home I have to ask Daya what she thinks of that boy."

Just as the two were discussing the Yun family's affairs, a rider on a fast horse came galloping from the road ahead.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhongtian knew that Chow Tai Fook should have been arrested.

Sure enough, the knight on the horse stopped, dismounted, took two quick steps, came to Yun Ye, and told Yun Ye the information.

After listening to this, Yun Ye nodded and said softly, "Send this Eight Ox Crossbow and the disassembled Eight Ox Crossbow to Hongcheng Prefecture. Except for Zhou Dafu who committed suicide, all the captured people who are alive should be handed over to the Hundred Cavalry Division."

"clear!"

The messenger bowed, turned around, mounted his horse, and left again.

Yun Ye had already asked Shan Ying that, except for Chow Tai Fook, none of the people in the fish shop knew of Shan Ying's existence. As long as they got rid of Chow Tai Fook, there would be no need to worry about Shan Ying's identity being exposed to the emperor.

As for his identity problem, Shan Xiongxin’s old brothers will help him solve it.

Thinking of this, Yun Ye took out three letters from his arms, thinking about finding an opportunity to visit Qin Qiong and the others in person and deliver the letters to them.

Although he was quite unhappy about Shan Ying coveting his sister, Shan Ying was indeed a young hero.

The most rare thing is that his parents are both deceased and his identity is sensitive. Once he enters the Yun family, he will definitely be devoted to the family and may become an indispensable force in the future.

This is Yun Ye’s selfish desire and should not be told to outsiders.

Of course, even if he had selfish motives, Yun Ye would never sell his girl.

Whether Shan Ying wants to marry Daya depends on Daya's own thoughts. If Daya doesn't like him, Yun Ye will think of other ways to tie Shan Ying firmly to the Yun family's chariot.

If Daya fell in love with him...how could that be possible? A noble lady of the Yun family would never fall in love with a handsome boy who sells pork, right?

This is what Yun Ye thought at first.

It was not until he returned home in the afternoon that Yun Ye called Daya and asked her some questions in a roundabout way.

As a result, the girl actually guessed his intention. Before he could reveal Shan Ying's identity, she cautiously probed: "Brother, can you please not hurt the pork seller? He has no ill will towards me..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Ye immediately widened his eyes and stared at the girl in front of him, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long time, when Daya was at a loss, Yun Ye waved his hand weakly and let Daya leave.

After Daya left, Xin Yue came over, and Yun Ye hugged his wife into his arms, saying with emotion: "Girls can't be kept when they grow up!"

Xin Yue smiled, sniffing her husband's scent and whispered, "This day will come sooner or later. Daya is not young anymore. If she were a daughter of another powerful family in Chang'an, she might have already been married."

"It was you who insisted on raising our daughter until she was eighteen before getting married. If you hadn't stopped us, believe it or not, those dukes and princes would have sent matchmakers to knock on our doorstep long ago!"

Yun Ye snorted twice, lowered his head, looked at Xin Yue's hair and said, "Not young?"

"Is a girl of thirteen or fourteen considered old?"

"Marrying and having children at this age is like sending yourself to hell, isn't it?"

"To tell you the truth, even if a girl from my Yun family is raised to the age of 18, she cannot marry. At most, she can fall in love freely..."

Xin Yue was shocked and looked up and asked, "Doesn't that mean she has become an old maid?"

Yun Ye teased, "If this is an old maid, weren't you also an old maid when you married me?"

Xin Yue was so ashamed and angry that she bit Yun Ye's shoulder in a fit of rage.

While the couple was arguing, the two Eight-Ox Crossbows were sent to the Hundred Cavalry Division.

Hong Cheng personally inspected the Eight Ox Crossbows and confirmed that they were the two sold by the Tiger Gang. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and hurried to Yushan Academy to report the news to Li Er.

After hearing this, Li Er nodded lightly and no longer cared about the matter.

He glanced at Hong Cheng who was kneeling below and said calmly, "Didn't Yun Ye think of giving you an explanation about Dou Yanshan's matter?"

Hong Cheng hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have asked, and Yun Hou said that Dou Yanshan had many people and he had no choice but to hold back, so he was unable to leave them with a complete body."

"Yeah?"

Li Er glanced at Hong Cheng and said, "You personally led the team to search Dou Yanshan's side. He brought dozens of good hands, and Yun Ye's side, including his newlywed wife, only had three people."

"Three against sixty, all killed, and no one was left with a complete body. I don't believe he has the force to do that."

"Add to that the dust stains all over the scene, and this is such a strange thing, and he just said this to me?"

"Of course not." Hong Cheng said respectfully, "Marquis Yun said that this matter is related to the fate of the country. I am not qualified to know. If Your Majesty is curious, you can go to the academy to ask the Third Prince." "Marquis Yun said that he has taught the Third Prince all the methods he used to kill Dou Yanshan!"

"Oh?" Li Er immediately sat up, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's go meet Qingque."

…

…

That night, several deafening noises were heard from Yushan Mountain.

This statement may deceive the common people, but it cannot deceive Yun Ye, who made this happen.

When he learned that Li Er hurried back to the palace with the carriage, and that Li Tai's residence had been moved to the back mountain and the number of guards around him had increased threefold, he realized that the emperor must have seen the power of black gunpowder.

Although the techniques Li Tai mastered were still relatively crude, the explosion made quite a noise.

Li Er was frightened by the explosion scene. Recalling the details of the scene reported to him by Hong Cheng, he immediately concluded that Yun Ye must have used gunpowder to kill Dou Yanshan.

So Li Er no longer doubted this and instead sent Hong Cheng to deliver the reward.

After Yun Ye accepted the reward, he received an oral instruction from Hong Cheng.

The content was very simple, which was to ask him to hand over the development of gunpowder to Li Tai with full authority, and never leak the secret in the future.

There is no doubt that Li Er attached great importance to gunpowder and treated the matter as the highest military secret and top secret.

This was exactly the result Yun Ye hoped to see, so he readily agreed.

From then on, the affairs of the Dou family's remnants came to an end, and the Yun family entered the most stable period since Yun Ye returned to Beijing.

After all, Yun Ye had just gotten married. Apart from attending court to handle some official duties, he basically spent all his time with his wife Xin Yue, enjoying a sweet and loving time.

Lin Zhongtian stayed in the Yun family, teaching the eight little girls in the family as usual, and also giving special lessons to Shan Ying who had just joined the group.

Speaking of Shan Ying, after Yun Ye delivered the letter to Qin Qiong's house, someone immediately came to the Yun house secretly and met Shan Ying quietly.

After Shan Ying's identity was confirmed, Shan Xiongxin's old brothers tacitly decided that there was no need to let His Majesty know about this.

They will help solve Shan Ying's identity problem, but the difficult problems of training this old friend will have to be left to Yun Ye.

Yun Ye let him continue to live in the small courtyard of Yunjiazhuang, and then arranged for him to enter the academy. In addition to the academy courses every day, he only needed to come to the Yun Mansion twice, in the early morning and in the evening, to learn from Lin Zhongtian.

I have to say that Shan Ying’s talent in martial arts is indeed good.

Although he is still a little bit behind in the world, he is definitely one of the top geniuses in this world.

Under Yun Ye's malicious suggestion, Lin Zhongtian taught Shan Ying the "Xiantian Kung Fu", which requires maintaining a virgin body.

Different from the "Nine Yang Magic Art" that Yun Ye practiced, the "Xiantian Art" had more stringent requirements on the virgin body. At least one had to wait until the internal strength was perfected before the body could be intact.

Yun Ye thought that no matter how talented Shan Ying was, he would need to practice for at least ten years.

What surprised him was that on the first day of Shan Ying's training, it took him only fifteen breaths to find the sense of Qi, and within two hours he had the first warm current of internal energy.

In just three days, Shan Ying completed the journey that took Yun Ye a month and successfully mastered the Xiantian Gong.

Such speed not only left Yun Ye dumbfounded, but also astonished the little girls in the family.

Yun Ye's original intention was to let Daya see Shan Ying being embarrassed, but he ended up letting Shan Ying show off in front of everyone, making the little girls except Daya think that this new little brother was really amazing.

Yun Ye failed to gain anything and ended up losing the rice. He could only leave in frustration and complain to Xin Yue.

Shan Ying didn't think so much about it. After he cultivated his internal strength, he was extremely excited about this kind of power. Even the young man's newly sprouted desires were weakened a little. He pestered Lin Zhongtian all day long, wanting to learn martial arts moves that could match his internal strength.

Seeing that he had a good understanding, Lin Zhongtian taught him the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing".

Just like that, a month passed, and Shan Ying quickly grew from being unable to beat Daya at the beginning to becoming the second best master in the Yun family.

His internal power has already broken through the first level of "Xiantian Gong". If converted, he probably possesses the internal power of Quanzhen Sect's Chongyang Zhenren for about 20 years.

This speed of progress is not only due to Shan Ying's own talent, but also thanks to Lin Zhongtian's tonic.

In fact, at the beginning, Lin Zhongtian did not intend to give Shan Ying the same treatment as Yun Ye.

But Shan Ying was also a martial arts fanatic. When practicing, he always pushed his body to an extremely dangerous level.

If Lin Zhongtian didn't provide him with some spiritual objects as nourishment, this kid would probably squeeze himself dry.

Inspired by Shan Ying, Yun Ye also began to practice diligently. Over the past month, he really tortured himself.

Until this day, Yun Ye received news from the palace and found Lin Zhongtian with a gloomy face.

At the same time, Lin Zhongtian also became aware of the situation outside the world, and was also hesitant about whether to tell Yun Ye about some things.

The two sat in the attic that the Yun family built for Lin Zhongtian, drinking tea in silence.

After a moment, Yun Ye put down the teacup and said softly, "Brother, how about you speak first?"
