My enemies became my companions

Chapter 6 Did I misjudge him?
After saying this, Min Ming clenched his fists.

But her temperament only allowed her to hang her head and remain silent.

Min Ning walked towards his sister, and his hand that was holding the handle of the knife loosened.

Negative emotions: 30

Seeing her negative emotions suddenly dropped, Chen Yi was very satisfied.

It seems that she has changed her mind about herself.

It would be better if it were changed.

The more she changes now, the more she will hate him later. The deeper the trust, the stronger the hatred.

However, Chen Yi would not do anything harmful for this reason.

If it was just a game, just a collection of data, and it was all for the sake of maximizing the benefits at the start, then it wouldn't matter. But now it's not a game, or rather, the game has become reality, and Chen Yi has a bottom line that he will never cross.

Doing hurtful things in order to make people hate you.

That's so low-end.

Am I such a low-class person?
I have a more advanced method.

Min Ning looked at her sister with concern. She was taller than Min Ming, and she held her sister's shoulders. At first glance, they looked like a pair of handsome brother and sister.

After confirming that Min Ming was fine, Min Ning finally believed Chen Yi's words a little, but he was still confused.

But... why does my sister have such a deathly pale and hateful look on her face?

Could it be... something more terrifying than a comb?
Negative emotions: 35

Min Ning was filled with hatred and said:

"Captain Chen, if you dare to harm your colleagues' relatives, you will be punished with forty strokes of the cane and dismissed from your post as a commoner."

Chen Yi frowned.
"I really didn't do anything to her."

Min Ning snorted coldly.
"I will investigate myself."

Then, as if she thought of something, she opened her mouth, but stopped herself from speaking.

Chen Yi said directly:
"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Min Ning struggled for a while, then calmed down and said:
"Prince Xiang is colluding with the Demon Cult. Although the leader of the thieves has been captured, the remnants of the Demon Cult are still active in the capital. I now order you to mobilize your troops and fight with me against the thieves..."

Min Ning felt a little regretful when she said this, but there was nothing she could do. She was being marginalized in both the East and West factories, so Chen Yi was the only option left. For this reason, she was even prepared to be treated coldly.

However, she saw Chen Yi nodded slightly and said:
"The remnants of the demon cult must not be forgiven lightly."

Min Ning was doubtful, but he still seized the opportunity and hurriedly ordered:
"That's right. There is a group of remnants of the Demon Cult gathered at the ferry on the south bank. I order you to lead people to arrest them as soon as possible."

From these words, Chen Yi sensed something was wrong.
"Why, aren't you in charge of the East Factory? You are half of the East Factory. Why are you asking the West Factory to contribute? Where is the East Factory?"

Min Ning was speechless for a moment, then said with some difficulty:
"Rumor has it that Xue Youge, the supervisor of the East Factory, is secretly colluding with Prince Xiang's Palace..."

She realized her tone was weak, changed her expression, and added coldly,
"Central lord, don't refuse. If I, a thousand lord, report you, you will suffer the consequences."

After she finished speaking, she raised two fingers, meaning "at least twenty strokes of the cane."

Hearing her threat, Chen Yi narrowed his eyes.

"A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death."

Hearing this, Min Ning looked at him anxiously. If he didn't agree, she would just die in vain if she went alone.

For this occasion, she even prepared all the remaining salary of the year on herself, which was a full twenty taels of silver.

"Wait while I wash my face."

Chen Yi said goodbye to the embroidered spring knife on his waist, turned around and scooped up water from the water tank.

Even though he knew he was keeping her in suspense, Min Ning still pricked up his ears.

"I'm done, let's go."

"What the East Factory dares not to do, I, the West Factory, will do."

Negative emotions: 15

………………

When he arrived at the West Factory, several servants came hurriedly to greet him and bowed to him.

"Organize a few brothers and go to the ferry on the south bank."

Chen Yi said without hesitation.

When the servants heard this, they looked at each other in confusion. Only one servant named Zeng looked embarrassed.

"This...isn't good."

He once served in Changdao.

"Why is one bad?"

Chen Yi asked back.

"Your Excellency is forgetful. Didn't we accept a little bit of wine money from Elder Li about ten days ago?"

Captain Zeng stretched out two fingers, rubbed them together, and made a little gesture.

Yes, billions.

Chen Yi remembered it immediately.

Yes, in the initial stage, in order to maximize the profits, I led people to blackmail the Demon Cult!

There was a total of one thousand taels of silver. He took 50% for himself and divided the rest.

Min Ning saw Captain Zeng's actions and she frowned, with a hint of anger flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.

Negative emotions: 25

Chen Yi coughed twice.

"A little bit of wine money, is that enough for the brothers to spend?"

After saying that, he patted Captain Zeng on the shoulder.

He asked tentatively:

"what do you mean……"

Chen Yi said bluntly:
"If you extort more from them, you'll have to pay more."

After hearing this, several Western Factory officers' eyes lit up, but they were still a little hesitant.

After all, they just blackmailed me ten days ago...

"If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this store."

Chen Yi reminded.

The officers turned around and kept saying:
"How dare you, little thief, break the law under the feet of the emperor?"

"I have long wanted to punish the wicked and eliminate evil, and today I heard Bai Hu's words, which were like a wake-up call."

"Captain Zeng, I also suddenly realized that I want to become a Buddha right now." Several men burst into laughter.

Min Ning's eyes were still uneasy. She was a straightforward person and couldn't figure out these people's intentions.

Chen Yi hooked her shoulders and pulled her aside.

"What are you doing? You have no respect for your parents!"

Being pulled suddenly, Min Ning glared at him.

Chen Yi leaned close to this guy's ear and lowered his voice:

"How can I, a man of seven feet tall, go along with them?

This is called repairing the plank road in the open, and now we are secretly attacking Chencang in order to catch them off guard."

Min Ning understood immediately.

People always like to compromise. If you tell the people from the Western Factory directly that you want to kill the Demon Sect, these old foxes will definitely not do it. But if you blackmail the Demon Sect, they will definitely do it.

Exquisite…

Min Ning couldn't help but feel a little admiration.

Negative emotions: 18

Suddenly, something came to his ears, and Min Ning was startled as if he had been electrocuted.

She pushed Chen Yi away violently, but the latter looked innocent.

Min Ning touched his ear, which was burning hot and his heart was beating fast.

Negative emotions: 23

………………

After some preparation, several Western Factory service chiefs mounted their war horses, followed by a dozen guards on foot, and they stepped out of the Western Factory gate.

Chen Yi rode a tall horse in the front, while Min Ning followed closely behind him on horseback.

Passing by the City God Temple, Chen Yi saw the sound of gongs and drums, and it was very lively with crowds of people. There were also many people in Taoist robes walking on the street.

Calculating the time, it’s time to prepare for the first big event in the capital.

It is also the first copy in "Tianwai Tian" - a place to eliminate bandits, demons and pray for blessings.

The two famous and upright sects will set up a Taoist temple to eliminate bandits and demons in the capital of Dayu.

As the first major event, the rewards you can get are very generous. I remember when I saved the file for the first time, even though I didn't understand anything, I made wrong choices several times along the way and the file died several times. I had to go back and reload the file, but the reward I got in the end was beyond my expectations.

That is the Shangqing Heart Method of the Shangqing Dao. After practicing it, one can calm the mind and sharpen the five senses... In simple terms, it is bullet time.

Imagine that when two people are fighting, you have bullet time and can see every move of your opponent, but in the eyes of your opponent, you are as fast as lightning...

You know, the only way to defeat martial arts in the world is speed.

Apart from martial arts masters who can break through clever moves with brute force, the more skilled the martial artist is, the more they care about the speed of their moves.

"Is there still half a decade left in the prayer hall?"

Chen Yi asked.

This time, I have to pass it perfectly.

"In fifteen or sixteen days, Yinjian Mountain and Shangqing Dao will arrive together."

Min Ning beside her replied that Chen Yi was so obedient today, she was in a good mood and said:

"In this martial arts world, the top ten on the martial arts list are all legendary figures. Let alone the extraordinary abilities of the Three Heavenly Men, even the top three at the bottom are all well-known masters. And this time, the one coming from Yinjian Mountain is the number one swordsman, Zhou Yitong."

Hearing the words "Zhou Yitang", Chen Yi felt a little sad.

Min Ning never noticed.

"At the age of 26, she has already ranked ninth on the martial arts list. Even though Yinjian Mountain has always been a place that practices both Taoism and martial arts, this is the first time such a talented person has appeared. It is hard to imagine who in the martial arts world will be her rival ten years later.

It is said that when she was twenty years old and commanded a sword, her master gave her a message: "The sword has profound meanings and can break eight hundred winds in the world."

Listening to Min Ning's words, Chen Yi's thoughts drifted away.

Zhou Yitong, with the pen name Zhuoyu, is the sword armor of Yinjian Mountain.

He was determined not to hurt Yin Tingxue because he had hurt her before.

That was the first file, or was it... something from the previous life?
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. If I meet her again, I will just treat her well. There is no way she will remember those things.

"Didn't you ask me about Yinjian Mountain a few days ago?"

Min Ning turned her head and interrupted Chen Yi's thoughts. She chuckled.
"Come to think of it, do you want to join Yinjian Mountain? They only accept female disciples there."

Chen Yi shook his head and said:
"Give up the knife that kills people and learn the sword that lives people? I don't have this idea, unless Jianjia likes me."

Min Ning snorted coldly and said with disdain:
"If Jianjia takes a fancy to you, there are hundreds of female disciples in the entire Yinjian Mountain. Are you lucky enough to have them?"

Chen Yi said casually:
"It makes people haggard because of Yixiao."

Min Ning disdained such sweet talk.

Chen Yi didn't care about his boss's indifference.

At some point, a hand that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female reached out.

There was a silver note on it.

Chen Yi saw this hand and turned his head away.

"Why?"

Min Ning stammered:
"I appreciate your help. It's a little consideration from me as your superior."

She tried not to let her eyes drop as she handed it over.

That was the salary she had left after a year's expenses. For a Jinyiwei who was not corrupt, all the various subsidies included, converted into silver, was only thirty taels.

"Take it back."

"Here you go...huh?"

Min Ning looked at Chen Yi in surprise.

"I said take it back."

Chen Yi said sarcastically:
"Captain Min, do you think you are the only one who is kind-hearted?"

Upon hearing this, Min Ning's eyes were filled with surprise, then complicated. If he took off his coat, he would even feel a hint of guilt.

She kept muttering to herself...

Is this person possessed? Why has his personality changed so drastically?

Or…

Did I misjudge him?
Was he hiding his cleverness before?
