Chapter 427 Great Gift Assassin

After receiving Yang Zhengshan's instructions, Luo Shang immediately took Luo Zhen to the glass workshop. When he saw the exquisite glass ornaments, he was so shocked that he almost couldn't breathe.

"My goodness, the Marquis is going to make a fortune!"

Things are precious because they are rare, and things are precious because they are exquisite!

Glass ornaments are more exquisite than colored glaze, easier to shape than ceramics, more shining than stone carvings, and larger than jade. As decorations, glass products have many advantages.

The most important thing is that there are no glass ornaments here. As long as Yang Zhengshan is willing, he can make a glass ornament for thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But that will take a lot of time and energy, and some people have bad character.

Once the glass workshop is put into large-scale manufacturing, the price of glass ornaments will soon be reduced.

If there is only one, it is a rare treasure, but if there are thousands or tens of thousands, or even a continuous supply, it is an ordinary ornament.

Now the production is insufficient, the price can be higher, but once the production increases, the price of glass ornaments will definitely drop.

Yang Zhengshan is not a businessman, so he will not be a hoarder. What he wants is to sell in large quantities, not at high prices.

So the price of the first batch of glass ornaments is set according to size, with larger ones costing hundreds of taels and smaller ones costing dozens of taels.

But even so, the profit is very exaggerated.

As mentioned before, the cost of making glass ornaments is lower than that of making lenses. Lenses require too high transparency, and the yield rate has never been improved. Even if glass ornaments have some flaws, it actually does not have much impact.

Of course, the price of flawed ones will definitely be cheaper.

On that day, Luo Shang asked him to take away a thousand glass ornaments, and at the same time Yang Zhengshan sent people to send a hundred glass ornaments to Kyoto, along with the glass production process and his plan to make money.

But this time he gave it to the prince, not to Emperor Chengping.

Emperor Chengping's health is getting weaker and weaker. It is said that he was in a coma for six or seven days some time ago.

Obviously, Emperor Chengping can no longer interfere in government affairs, and Yang Zhengshan may have a chance to win the prince's favor.

The future new emperor, we have to make connections!

I believe the prince will like this great gift.

The glass production process is not the key, Yang Zhengshan's money-making plan is the key.

The court is also short of money, and the prince is even more short of silver. Yang Zhengshan's money-making plan using glass is definitely a great gift to the prince.

After dealing with the glass matter, Yang Zhengshan went to the training ground of Zhenbiao Camp to take a look.

The training of Zhenbiao Camp is currently divided into two parts. One part is the soldiers of the original Zhenbiao Five Camps. These soldiers are all defectors before the battle. Their combat effectiveness is not bad, but they still cannot meet Yang Zhengshan's standards. They need to undergo complete basic training and actual combat training, and the five camps of Zhenbiao will conduct training separately.

The second part is the newly recruited soldiers. These newly recruited soldiers are teenagers aged 16 to 20. They start training from scratch and need to go through a three-month trial period. If they pass the assessment, they will be assigned to the Zhenbiao Five Camps.

Yang Zhengshan rode to the camp outside the city. This camp was the camp of the Zhenbiao Left Camp, which was also the camp where Zhou Lan was located before, and it was very close to Linguan Fort.

But now it has become the training ground of the Zhenbiao Camp.

Entering the camp, Yang Zhengshan looked solemn as he looked at the soldiers in training.

At this time, the soldiers were training weapons and riding skills, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, archers, cavalry, etc.

An instructor walked in the queue with a stick. If anyone did not do well, their sticks would hit him without hesitation.

By now, the training of soldiers under Yang Zhengshan has long formed a complete and systematic training process.

The old soldiers of the former Tenglong Guard Fifth Army Camp have long been familiar with this training process.

"Meet the Marquis!"

Not long after Yang Zhengshan entered the training ground, Song Dashan rode over on horseback.

"How is it? How many of these soldiers can pass the assessment?" Yang Zhengshan asked as he walked towards the barracks behind the training ground.

"I plan to select 3,000 people from them!" Song Dashan said.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly. Selecting 3,000 people from 5,000 people, the elimination rate is not high.

But this is normal. Although his requirements for selecting soldiers are strict, he actually selects them after the soldiers are nourished by the spiritual spring water.

So the selection test is very strict, but as long as they can complete the basic training, most soldiers can still pass the test.

Then Yang Zhengshan asked about the training situation again and let Song Dashan go to work.

He ran to a well in the camp and sat for a while.

He would sit here every time he came, and for this reason he also asked people to build a pavilion here.

The reason for sitting here is naturally to add spiritual spring water to the well.

Now he can't go to the kitchen to add spiritual spring water. There are more than 5,000 people, and there are more than a dozen kitchens responsible for food. He can't check them one by one.

It is also impossible to add spiritual spring water to each well. There are more wells in the camp, as many as dozens.

Therefore, he could only choose a well and then pour a large amount of spiritual spring water into it, affecting the groundwater in the surrounding areas.

Yes, it was so extravagant and wasteful.

There was nothing he could do about it. Fortunately, he had enough spiritual spring water now and was not afraid of waste.

Not only in this camp, but also in the mansion and other camps, he did the same.

To be honest, his actions would most likely change the quality of the groundwater in Chongshan Pass, but he didn't care about that.

The spiritual spring water is for people to drink. It doesn't matter whether the soldiers or the people drink it. It's not a bad thing anyway.

After staying for about half an hour, Yang Zhengshan went to the camp in the east to check it out. He did the same thing and stayed for half an hour before returning to the city.

However, after returning to the city, he did not return to the mansion immediately. Instead, he went to the barracks in the city and found a well to fill it with spiritual spring water.

Every three or four days, he would take two hours to make a round like this. In name, he was inspecting the barracks and training, but in fact, he was filling the well with spiritual spring water.

Everyone was used to his style of doing things, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

When Yang Zhengshan returned to the mansion, it was already dusk. The sky had dimmed and the sunset glow in the west was gradually dissipating.

The night in Chongshanguan in May was very quiet. There was neither the noise of the downtown nor the noise of the summer insects. The gentle warm breeze passed through the branches and leaves, carrying the faint fragrance of plants and trees, making the quiet night more comfortable and warm.

Outside the Marquis's Mansion, an old man with disheveled hair and loose clothes staggered over. He looked up at the gorgeous Marquis's Mansion and grinned, revealing two rows of yellow teeth.

Not far away, Kou Rong hid in the shadow of the corner, "Lord Dongge, please be careful, the guards of the Marquis' Mansion are very alert!"

The old man in front of him was none other than Gu Yunjian.

Gu Yunjian didn't care about Kou Rong's reminder at all. He jumped into the air and jumped onto the roof of the Marquis' Mansion. He stepped on the bricks and treetops, like a night owl, across the starry night sky, and went straight to the depths of the Marquis' Mansion.

...

There was no sign of Yang Zhengshan in the bedroom. He had already entered the Lingquan space to farm.

More than ten days later, the Lingquan space was still the same. The middle area was still lush with flowers and plants, and the surrounding area was still a bare black land. However, a decent farmyard had appeared on the hillside.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan was busy brewing wine. Yes, he was busy brewing wine.

He filled large jars with sorghum, medicinal materials, fruits and flowers, and then moved them to the newly built wooden shed.

This time he did not dig a cellar. He dug a cellar before to save space. Now he had no need to dig a cellar. Anyway, the space in the space was large enough, so there was no need to save as before.

Although the surrounding land was still bare, it had already been covered with seeds by Yang Zhengshan. Next, he only needed to wait for the seeds to germinate and grow, and he did not need to do anything else.

After being busy for a while, just when Yang Zhengshan was about to go to see if the tea trees were ready to be picked, he suddenly heard a subtle sound in his ears.

Although he was in space, his perception of the outside world was not blocked.

He could still hear everything clearly.

Hearing the noise from the outside world, Yang Zhengshan was slightly stunned, but then frowned.

Someone actually dared to sneak into the Marquis's Mansion?

Does he want to die?

Or does he think he can't lift a gun!

...

The crescent moon is like a hook, the stars are shining, and the swaying candlelight can hardly resist the drowning of the night.

Gu Yunjian's lightness is very powerful. He jumped more than ten feet with a light jump. His body movement is like a ghost, making it difficult to detect.

But he still underestimated the guards of the Marquis's Mansion. When he crossed the front yard and was about to cross the inner gate, a cold shout suddenly sounded.

"Who!"

Then a figure appeared on the roof of the inner gate.

Wu Zhan narrowed his eyes and stared at the unkempt old man in front of him.

Tonight was his duty. To be honest, no one in the Yang family has ever broken into the mansion for so many years, and the guards in the mansion are somewhat slack.

However, there is another reason for this, that is, many of the servants of the Yang family are warriors with sharp ears and eyes. It is almost impossible to enter the Yang family quietly.

Gu Yunjian's Qinggong is very powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, he can't fly.

As long as he can't fly, as long as he needs a place to borrow strength, it will inevitably cause some subtle noises.

This little subtle noise is difficult to escape the ears of everyone in the Yang family.

Yang Zhengshan's hearing is far superior to that of ordinary people, and the guards and servants who have been nourished by the spiritual spring water for several years also have hearing far superior to that of ordinary people.

Wu Zhan's hearing is naturally needless to say. He is not as good as Yang Zhengshan now, but he can definitely be compared with Yang Zhengshan five or six years ago.

Looking at the stumbling block that suddenly appeared, Gu Yunjian was not surprised at all, but grinned, "Little brother, don't stick your head out rashly when you encounter something, otherwise you will die miserably!"

As the voice fell, a touch of snow-white sword edge suddenly bloomed.

Wu Zhan's pupils suddenly shrank, and his feet stepped heavily on the bricks and tiles almost instinctively, and then the whole person flew backwards.

His reaction was fast, but still a little slower than Gu Yunjian's sword.

The sword passed, and a bright blood bead bloomed from his chest.

However, Gu Yunjian showed a surprised look.

This sword didn't do anything?

Although it hurt Wu Zhan, it only scratched Wu Zhan's flesh.

Wu Zhan fell heavily on the bluestone road in the inner ceremony gate, looking at Gu Yunjian with horror.

Just one move, and he almost killed him in an instant!

Such strength is definitely not the ninth level of the acquired realm, at least half a step into the innate realm.

Now he has the cultivation level of the acquired eighth level. Although he is still far away from the acquired ninth level, he has the confidence to fight dozens of rounds with the warriors of the acquired ninth level.

Obviously, facing Gu Yunjian, he had no chance of fighting for dozens of rounds.

Wu Zhan's fall attracted the attention of other guards.

"An assassin has entered the house!"

Dang Dang Dang~~

Soon, bursts of noise were heard in the Hou Mansion, and a large number of guards began to rush towards the Neiyi Gate.

In just a moment, the Neiyi Gate was completely surrounded by water.

Seeing this, Gu Yunjian's expression turned gloomy.

He had expected to be surrounded by the guards of the Hou Mansion, but that was only after meeting Yang Zhengshan.

But now he was surrounded by the guards of the Hou Mansion without even entering the backyard of the Hou Mansion.

Thinking of Kou Rong's reminder just now, Gu Yunjian felt a throbbing pain in his old face.

Wu Zhan got up from the ground and looked at his chest, which was stained red with blood.

"Are you okay?" Ding Qiu asked in a deep voice.

Ding Qiu was sleeping in his yard. After hearing the sound of the gong, he hurried over and saw Wu Zhan's chest was blood red, and he was a little worried.

"It's okay! It's just a minor injury. This person is extremely strong, and may be a half-step innate powerhouse!" Wu Zhan said.

When Ding Qiu heard this, his expression condensed.

Half a step ahead!

In the entire Hou Mansion, no, probably in the entire Chongshan Pass, only Yang Zhengshan can handle it.

If the soldiers were rounded up, the casualties might be incalculable.

At this time, the roar of the Hou Mansion had attracted the attention of the patrolling soldiers in the city, and a large number of soldiers were gathering towards the Hou Mansion.

What a joke!

When the Hou Mansion encountered an assassin, this was simply the incompetence of the entire Zhenbiao camp.

Beicheng is an important place for government offices at all levels, and most of the residents are officials and soldiers, and the one responsible for guarding it is the Zhenbiao Camp.

In addition to the Zhenbiao Camp, next to the Hou Mansion is Yang Zhengshan's personal guard camp.

Dang Dang Dang~~

There was a knock on the side door of the Hou Mansion.

"Luo Jinsong, the officer in charge of the Guards Battalion, is here to protect the Hou Mansion!" Luo Jinsong stood outside the door and shouted.

With a creak, the side door of the Hou Mansion opened a crack. The guard behind the door glanced at Luo Jinsong and a group of personal guards before fully opening the heavy wooden door.

Luo Jinsong was wearing a black outfit, holding the handle of the knife at his waist, and led a group of guards into the Hou Mansion.

"Where is the assassin?"

"Neiyimen!" the guard of the Hou Mansion called back.

Luo Jinsong nodded slightly and trotted towards the Neiyi Gate.

Gu Yunjian looked a little ugly as he saw more and more guards and soldiers gathering, but he did not run away, but looked around coldly.

He is waiting for Yang Zhengshan.

The purpose of his coming here tonight is to see Yang Zhengshan.

If Wu Zhan was the only one who discovered him, he would kill him without hesitation, but now that he was surrounded, there was no need to hide his traces.
