Chapter 655 Meeting!

Seeing Xiao Ruolan slowly walking towards him, Ye Mingsheng knew that he couldn't hide away, so he took the initiative and said:

“Ruolan, is there something wrong with you…”

Xiao Ruolan stopped walking after hearing that, bit her red lips and looked at Ye Mingsheng, allowing Ye Mingsheng to see the resentment in her eyes. Just when Ye Mingsheng was thinking about whether he should say something, two lines of tears fell from Xiao Ruolan's eyes, and then she lowered her head and said to Ye Mingsheng a little aggrieved:

"Ruolan knows that she is just a common woman, not as beautiful as her sister. Brother-in-law, you have such a beautiful woman like my sister, so naturally you don't like Ruolan. It was Ruolan who was reckless before. From now on, Ruolan will not bother her brother-in-law anymore!"

Ye Mingsheng was very happy to hear Xiao Ruolan say that she would not bother him anymore, but he still tried to comfort her and said:
"Ruolan, don't belittle yourself. You are actually a good person! It's just that we are not destined to be together!"

Xiao Ruolan nodded slightly when she heard this. However, just when Ye Mingsheng was about to leave to have some fun with the Shen sisters, Xiao Ruolan seemed to have thought of something. She mustered up her courage and looked at Ye Mingsheng and said:
"Brother-in-law, can you hug me?"

Hearing Xiao Ruolan's request, Ye Mingsheng instinctively wanted to refuse, but looking at those eyes full of desire and begging, Ye Mingsheng still softened his heart. Seeing that Ye Mingsheng did not refuse, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on Xiao Ruolan's delicate face. Without any hesitation, she hugged Ye Mingsheng directly, feeling the breath of Ye Mingsheng greedily.

Time seemed to stop at this moment. Xiao Ruolan hugged Ye Mingsheng for several seconds. Seeing that Xiao Ruolan was not letting go, Ye Mingsheng coughed softly. Xiao Ruolan reluctantly let go of Ye Mingsheng. Then, what caught Ye Mingsheng off guard was that Xiao Ruolan, who had let go of Ye Mingsheng, boldly kissed Ye Mingsheng on the lips...
Before Ye Mingsheng could react, Xiao Ruolan ran away like a deer. Looking at Xiao Ruolan's back as she left, Ye Mingsheng subconsciously touched his lips. The feeling just now was cool and thin, the same as when he asked for it from Murong Qingwu before.

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards Murong Qingwu's yard. As for having fun with the sisters, he would leave it for next time!
What Ye Mingsheng didn't notice when he turned around was that a shadow hiding in a hidden place saw everything that happened between him and Xiao Ruolan!
It was late at night, but Murong Qingwu did not go to bed. Instead, she was reading by lamplight. She was very surprised by Ye Mingsheng's sudden arrival. Ye Mingsheng was very busy with official duties during this period, and Pei Zhixiu and others in the backyard were about to give birth, so the last time Ye Mingsheng came to see her was more than half a month ago.

Picking up the book and the beautiful handwriting on Murong Qingwu's desk, Ye Mingsheng took a quick look at it with a hint of surprise, and then asked Murong Qingwu:

"Qingwu, are you reading the Book of Changes? I remember you used to like poetry very much. Why do you have a different taste now?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Murong Qingwu's smile faded a little. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered to Ye Mingsheng:
"Qingwu was too frivolous in the past. She liked poetry, songs, dances, and gorgeous articles. After experiencing all that recently, I always feel that the world is impermanent and fate has its own destiny..."

Listening to Murong Qingwu's sigh, Ye Mingsheng didn't say anything but just nodded slightly. He knew that although Murong Qingwu had always been very approachable and never put on the temper of a young lady from a wealthy family, the Murong family had always been the pride in her heart. Now that she and her father and brother were expelled from the family, it seemed that this was a big blow to her.

Looking down at Murong Qingwu's handwriting carefully, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but read out loud:

"A gentleman improves his virtue and studies. Loyalty and trustworthiness are the means of improving virtue. He cultivates his speech and establishes his sincerity, so as to maintain his career. If one knows the highest, he can be compared with others!"

Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng's expression changed to a playful one, and he said to Murong Qingwu:

"Qingwu, do you think I should be doing Jinde or Xiushi now?"

Facing Ye Mingsheng's question, Murong Qingwu smiled and said:
"Whether it is about improving virtue or rhetoric, my husband already has the answer in his mind, so why ask me?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mingsheng smiled and shook his head, and did not continue talking about this topic. Under the light of the kerosene lamp, Ye Mingsheng and Murong Qingwu talked about the past and the present. Although in terms of literary foundation, Ye Mingsheng was far inferior to Murong Qingwu, the most talented woman in the world, but after all, she came from the later generations and had more knowledge, so the two of them were very excited to talk.

This conversation lasted for nearly two hours, and Ye Mingsheng was a little sleepy. After a simple wash, Ye Mingsheng prepared to go to sleep. Originally, after being "ambushed" by Xiao Ruolan, Ye Mingsheng was planning to do something bad to Murong Qingwu, but the two hours of chatting had worn out Ye Mingsheng's sexual desire and made him very tired. So now Ye Mingsheng had no intention of anything else. He just wanted to chat about his fragrant wife and sleep until dawn...

However, what Ye Mingsheng never expected was that when the kerosene lamp went out and the bedroom fell into darkness, a cool little hand quietly touched his chest on the bed. Just when he opened his eyes and was a little confused, in the bright moonlight outside the window, Ye Mingsheng saw a pair of eyes full of affection and the slightly rapid breathing.

Seeing this scene, Ye Mingsheng, who was exhausted, immediately became energetic. Although he was a little curious about why Murong Qingwu, who had always been conservative, was suddenly so proactive today, but since his lady had made an appointment, he, Ye, would definitely accompany her at the risk of his life!
After going crazy for half an hour and looking at Murong Qingwu who was sleeping beside him, Ye Mingsheng covered her with a quilt, then shook his head with some regret.

To be honest, among his women, An Miaoyi and Murong Qingwu are the most beautiful, and the other women can only compete for third place. The two women, who also come from aristocratic families, have one thing in common, that is, they are conservative, very conservative. No matter what Ye Mingsheng says, they only allow Ye Mingsheng to use normal midnight hours, and nothing else is allowed.

Compared to Bai Yuanyuan who was once a widow, Jinyu who was born a maid is very open-minded. She can go in front or behind as Ye Mingsheng wants. As long as Ye Mingsheng is happy, anything is fine·································
Sometimes Ye Mingsheng would think about when they could neutralize each other, and he had tried hard for this. In response to Ye Mingsheng's efforts, An Miaoyi chose to push Qiqige out. However, Qiqige had practiced martial arts since childhood, and her physique was too good. It was exciting to fight with her, but it was a bit too much for Ye Mingsheng. After one fight, he had to rest for at least ten days or half a month.
Compared to An Miaoyi, Murong Qingwu still had some moral integrity and did not push out her personal maid Ying'er, which made Ye Mingsheng secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Ying'er looked quiet and shy, far from being as wild and fierce as Qiqige. However, Ye Mingsheng had seen her use her thick and tender little hands to break a mud wall with one palm. It was really chilling to think that if this little hand was used in other places, it would be really chilling.
Although she did not push Ying'er out, Murong Qingwu always remained unchanged in the face of Ye Mingsheng's persuasion. She just put on a tearful look, and Ye Mingsheng felt embarrassed and had to let her go.

If we were to say who best suits Ye Mingsheng's taste, it would definitely be Pei Zhixiu. The beauty of her was so wonderful that Ye Mingsheng couldn't help himself and was left with endless aftertastes!
Murong Qingwu, who was sleeping, was thinking about something. A satisfied smile appeared on her beautiful face. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng was also a little moved. He took another sip and then fell asleep. ································

Yijing, the Office of Coordination
Huo San looked at the sturdy man in front of him and said angrily:
"Wang Ye, don't tell me that you haven't gotten those three spies from the Supervisory Department to speak yet?"

Hearing Huo San's words, the man named Wang Ye suddenly showed a guilty look on his face. He knelt on one knee on the ground with a plop and said helplessly:

"I have disappointed the Director!"

Huo San also got a headache when he saw this scene. Wang Ye was one of his most trusted subordinates. Normally, Wang Ye did a very good job in the tasks assigned to him, which made Huo San very satisfied. Therefore, Huo San also handed over some daily affairs of the Coordination Office to Wang Ye.

Everything was going smoothly, but just half a month ago, the Coordination Office captured several spies from the Supervisory Department in Jinzhong. Because of their special identities, Huo San ordered them to be sent to the headquarters of the Coordination Office for interrogation by Wang Ye.

The matter here is the daily affairs of the Coordination Office. As the Fengwu Army grew stronger, the attention of various forces was attracted to it, so many people tried to secretly corrupt the officials and generals of the Fengwu Army.

Or they were trying to sabotage the Fengwu Army. The First Manufacturing Bureau, which was responsible for making firearms, was the hardest hit area. The Coordination Office in the First Manufacturing Bureau had already investigated and punished a deputy director, seven senior craftsmen, and dozens of minions.

Although investigating and punishing these people in Jinzhong this time is somewhat important, it is not particularly important, so after Huo San handed them over to Wang Ye for trial, he was ready to wait for the result...
However, what he didn't expect was that Wang Ye, who had always been very efficient, seemed to have no way to deal with the opponent this time. He even killed one of his men, but failed to pry open the opponent's mouth. Although he was very disappointed, Huo San also knew that with Wang Ye's methods, even a man of iron would find it difficult to resist. The fact that the opponent was able to resist for so long this time was enough to show that the opponent was definitely not an ordinary person.

After thinking for a while, Huo San said to Wang Ye:

"Get up and talk!"

After receiving Huo San's order, Wang Ye, who had been kneeling on one knee, slowly stood up, but his expression was still full of guilt.

After taking a deep look at Wang Ye, Huo San asked in a deep voice:

"Tell me about the other party's situation!"

Facing Huo San's question, Wang Ye said without hesitation:
"Sir, we have arrested three suspects this time. They may be the medicine soldiers secretly trained by the Supervisory Department!"

"Medicine soldier? What the hell is this?" Huo San asked in confusion:

Wang Ye introduced carefully:
“I just found out about this a few days ago. It is said that the Supervisory Department got a secret method from somewhere 20 years ago. Using this secret method, the Supervisory Department recruited hundreds of young children, fed them special herbs from a young age, and trained them like raising Gu. In this way, they reduced their sense of pain, kept them energetic at all times, and turned them into ruthless killing machines…”

"I didn't believe it at first, and thought it was just empty talk. But when I used my methods on them, their pain reactions were really mild. Whipping had no effect on them at all. Only fire branding and acupuncture could have some effect!"

Hearing Wang Ye's words, Huo San was somewhat skeptical, but he also recalled the report given to him by Jinzhong. In order to capture these three spies from the Supervisory Office, more than twenty people from the Jinzhong Coordination Office were killed or injured, but in the end, they relied on setting traps to capture these three people alive.

Because the Yunbing area was the designated battlefield for the Fengwu Army and the Luoan Imperial Guards, the Coordination Office also made preparations in advance. Huo San arranged many good and capable personnel from the Coordination Office to go to Jinzhong. Huo San was very clear about the strength of these people. Therefore, when Jinzhong reported that these three people killed and injured more than 20 good players from the Coordination Office, he was very interested and asked Jinzhong to escort the people over!
From this point of view, the "medicine soldiers" mentioned by Wang Ye may not be fictitious!

Thinking of this, Huo San asked Wang Ye:
"If these medicine soldiers are so powerful, why don't the Supervisory Department train them on a large scale?"

Facing Huo San's question, Wang Ye thought for a moment and said:
"Reporting to the Director, according to the information I received, the medicine used in these medicine soldiers is said to be very expensive, and the success rate is very low. Only one out of dozens of children can become a medicine soldier, and all those who fail will die. And most importantly, none of the trained medicine soldiers can live past the age of thirty. Basically, they die in their early twenties!"

"It is precisely because of so many drawbacks that the Supervisory Department only trained one batch of medicine soldiers and gave up the plan and did not continue training!"

Seeing that Wang Ye's words were convincing, Huo San hesitated for a moment and decided to believe him out of trust in his trusted subordinate, and then ordered:
“In that case, you should place these people in the prison and keep them under strict supervision. I will let others take over after a while…”
