Ice King

On the horse, there was a 50-60 year old old man with white hair. The other was an 18-19 year old girl, and after four years of growth, Xiaoqian was no longer that silly little girl. Instead, she was a slim and beautiful little girl.    

    

At this moment, regardless of whether it was many people or Xiaoqian, when they saw Ye Feii's figure, they were stunned for a moment. And then his eyes filled with tears.    

    

Under the effects of the Yin Yang Life-and-Death Talisman, there would be a fire poison effect once every year. Although they had the antidote pill, there was only one, and after using it once or twice, perhaps it would be possible, but after using it three to four times, it was completely useless.    

    

"Master …"    

    

Many of them dismounted at the same time as Xiaoqian and knelt down.    

    

The action of kneeling was very simple, very light, but Ye Feii could see the desolation the two of them had gone through, as well as the hardships they had gone through over the years.    

    

Ye Feii ran over and held their hands.    

    

"Don't say anything, you've done well." Ye Feii didn't say a word and just dragged the two of them into the tent.    

    

Ye Feii understood their suffering very well. Ye Feii also remembered their merits.    

    

Ye Feii didn't know how to repay their apologies with words.    

    

After entering the tent, Ye Feii did not do anything else. He sat down cross-legged and helped the two of them remove the fire poison. He also helped them recover from their injuries over the years.    

    

In the eyes of the alchemists and doctors, injuries like these were already at the edge of life and death. After being baptized by the 'Heavenly Flame' poison, their bodies were gradually hollowed out and they began to go downhill.    

    

However, now that Ye Feii had eliminated the poison, their bodies were alive again.    

    

Gradually withdrawing his power, Ye Feii stood up. Xiaoqian and many others also stood up.    

    

"Master …" Xiaoqian looked gratefully at Ye Feii with her watery eyes. For the past four years, she had been cursing Ye Feii at every moment, casting this damnable spell on him.    

    

But when she saw him, Xiaoqian's resentment completely vanished.    

    

Ye Feii pulled Xiaoqian up. He gently caressed Xiaoqian's head and smiled. "It's all over now."    

    

"Yes!" Lili nodded, smiling as she pursed her lips, "I heard that you are now a prince, even stronger than Lord Qin? Lili wanted to go find you, but. "But you, as an important figure, don't see anyone all day. You won't have the chance to find them even if you want to …"    

    

Xiaoqian pouted, regaining her childish nature from a few years ago. If Lee Guangpei hadn't thought of this idea, it would have been impossible for Xiaoqian to see Ye Feii.    

    

Ye Feii bitterly smiled. As a prince, so be it. How could such a noble position be easily seen by anyone?    

    

"Elder Xu, Xiaoqian. You must be tired from your long journey, right? This King will first go and have a good drink with all of you tonight. " Ye Feii immediately changed the topic. Although reminiscing about the past was important, there was something important at the moment.    

    

"Yes, Your Highness!" Many people immediately cupped their fists in respect. Ye Feii was a big contributor to their efforts to become a prince. With regards to the future, he completely saw hope, "Xiaoqian, let's walk around for a bit. I heard that the Prince is building a palace here, and it's a good opportunity for us to broaden our horizons. "    

    

Many Dora and Xiaoqian immediately walked out.    

    

After sending the two of them off, only Ye Feii and Lee Guangpei were left in the tent.    

    

"Elder Li, it's all thanks to you this time." Ye Feii came back to his senses and looked at Lee Guangpei gratefully. Lee Guangpei's contribution was indeed honorable. If it wasn't for him, Xiaoqian and many others would have definitely died.    

    

"His Royal Highness has filtered it out, if there is no Your Royal Highness. With my Chamber of Commerce of Lee Family, how can I establish myself in the imperial city? " Lee Guangpei shook his head with a bitter smile, "Back then, when Lord Qin launched the hunt for Elder Xu and Xiaoqian, this old man coincidentally met him and helped him along the way. It's not worth discussing."    

    

Lee Guangpei waved his hand casually, as if he didn't care about this at all.    

    

However, Ye Feii was a wise man and Lord Qin was powerful. If he wanted to kill someone, it would be like killing an ant. However, Lee Guangpei had saved many people and Xiaoqian. There must be a secret behind it.    

    

However, Ye Feii didn't change the topic too much and only secretly remembered this favor.    

    

"Elder Li, I presume you know the purpose of my visit?" Ye Feii changed the topic and sat down on the chair. Then, his expression became serious.    

    

Lee Guangpei nodded while smiling, "The reason why this old man has returned to Xueyang City is because I want to help the Duke. I hope that the Prince will not decline."    

    

Lee Guangpei was not like Mo Wanchou or Zhou Yu, he fell at the sight of the wind. By doing this, he was completely tied to Ye Feii, because Xueyang City had lost several hundred lives and all of them had lost Han Family. His arrival was the same as Ye Feii's, revenge.    

    

Lee Guangpei's arrival and Ye Feii said the same. It was all for revenge.    

    

With Lee Guangpei's participation, Ye Feii corrected many of his shortcomings. For example, in business, Lee Guangpei, who had been doing business for his whole life, was much better than Ye Feii in business.    

    

Under his suggestion, Ye Feii's businesses gradually turned to the right track. Not only would they not lose anything, they would also earn a lot. It was so much so that, in terms of business, he had far surpassed Han Family, who was just about to open the mountain.    

    

Lee Guangpei did not stop either, and gathered a large number of Lee Family disciples from the imperial city, and started their new business. With this backer, they no longer needed to be suppressed by the Han Family like back then, and would not even have the strength to retaliate.    

    

Now, what they had to do, was the same as Ye Feii, slowly push down the Han Family, and make this family never revive.    

    

Of course, the Han Family seniors who had worked in the business for dozens of years were all sly old foxes, and also displayed different ways of soliciting business. Instantly, within the competition between the two forces in the Xueyang City, it caused business to reach a peak of its former era. Merchants from both the distant and neighbouring cities began to continuously head there to do business and trade.    

    

It made the originally quiet and lonely Xueyang City become extremely lively.    

    

However, no one had expected that a bloody disaster was slowly approaching.    

    

The more lively the city was, the more silent the clans became as they waited for the storm to come.    

    

Han Family.    

    

Inside the Han Family Great Hall, there were more than a dozen bill men. Each of them held a large stack of account books and a huge abacus, and their hands constantly pushed.    

    

Han Ling paced back and forth alone. His expression was dark and uncertain, and he looked to be in a very bad mood.    

    

During the month of gathering all of his power and retaliating against Ye Feii, he realized something. Unexpectedly, not only did he not take revenge on them, he even made the business of Xueyang City more prosperous. Although his business was doing fine, the problem was that not only did he not earn money, he even lost money faster.    

    

Until today, a month had passed. The funds that they had accumulated from spreading their Han Family in all the various cities had actually been completely used up. Even to the extent that the clan disciples' pocket money was completely deducted.    

    

He knew, that this was a battle of immense power descending upon the Han Family before history.    

    

"Master, we have calculated it." At this moment, one of the man in charge of accounting stopped his calculations and immediately stood up with a flushed face.    

    

"Speak, how much is it?" Han Ling gritted his teeth and said.    

    

"In these two months, our Han Family has lost a total of 508 million! Among them, the Qian, Ma, and Liu Families borrowed five million silver taels each, so the total consumption was around sixty million silver taels. "    

    

Han Ling immediately froze on the spot and sat down on the chair, dumbfounded. All the other people in the room turned their heads in shock.    

    

60 million silver? According to the income obtained from Han Family, sixty million silver taels was equivalent to three years' worth of income from Han Family. Consumption is not included in these three years of income. After all, the Han Family had supported so many people, including the young masters, the side branches, etc. There were at least several hundred people here, and these people also had their monthly allowance, bounty, etc., as well as their eating utensils, which were all lost. At the very least, four to five million silver taels were required for a year's worth of spending and the entire Han Family.    

    

Here, the 60 million yuan was totally free from consumption.    

    

Great clans like Han Family had very little liquidity in the first place. Not to mention the large number of people, even the shops needed funds at all times. However, this 60 million silver taels was completely consumed when all the fixed and current funds were combined.    

    

When the funds were completely used up, half of the Han Family would be used up, leaving only the necessities for the family as well as a few empty stores.    

    

At this moment, Han Ling truly understood that he was finished.    

    

60 million silver? Even if it could really rise to prominence, it would at most be comparable to those second-rate families. If it could climb to its former position, it would at least take ten years.    

    

"Master, master!" The memorial hall opposite us has now been opened for our ancestors' worship. "    

    

After a long period of silence, a servant outside interrupted Han Ling and the other gentlemen in the room.    

    

"Sect-opening sacrifice?" Han Ling silently recovered his wits, "They even dare to open a sect in front of my Han Family as an offering?" Han Ling gritted his teeth. The reason why Han Family could have such a day was all because of that dogshit prince. If not for him, how could his Han Family have become like this?    

    

"Immediately gather all the elders and follow me to meet this prince." Han Ling was enveloped in a murderous aura. At this moment, he was thoroughly enraged. As the saying goes, a fish dies trying to catch its prey. Han Family was a dead fish, but that prince should not even think about getting away with it.    

    

The horse carriage slowly moved forward and stopped in front of the gigantic Ancestral Hall. At this time, in front of the Ancestral Hall, a large amount of people, the citizens of Xueyang City who were watching the show, the workers who were hired from outside the city, as well as the garrison troops of Qingzhou City and Luzhou City were all surrounding the Ancestral Hall.    

    

Red strips of cloth were hung on the ground in front of the gates of the ancestral hall. There were sounds of firecrackers and gentlemen of Xueyang City who saw the carriage drive away and surrounded it. They all cupped their hands and greeted the carriage. The commoners came over in curiosity, wanting to see what this so-called prince looked like.    

    

"It's really lively? Your Highness, why didn't you call this old master over for your ancestral worship today? "    

    

When the carriage stopped, there was still no movement inside the carriage. A group of people rushed out from the Han Family across from them, led by Han Ling followed by a group of white-haired, white-robed old men. Whether it was Han Ling or the group of old men, they all stared angrily at the carriage.
