Chapter 2

In the old days, in front of the King and Xie Hall, flying into the homes of ordinary people

After half a year, I returned to Yangzhou. My hometown is already a mess. My wife moved her home to Songjiang. Most of the industries in Yangzhou have been resold. Even the Shenyuan has given up, leaving only a hundred hectares of fertile land.

After all, I have lived in Shenyuan for seventeen years and have a constant feeling for it. Although it has changed its owner, I still brought Jie Xu and his two daughters to the neighborhood to commemorate the old days.

It happened that the new owner went out, with a carriage and horses like a cover, and a handsome servant like a cloud, calling in front and behind, and being arrogant, passers-by were all looking at him.

It's really a chewy peony! I sighed: It took nearly twenty years of hard work to create the Shenyuan, but now it has fallen into the hands of such a prosperous man. Although the master's wife moved south is the general trend, I can't help but feel a lot of emotion when she sees her new master like this.

Don’t raise a thin foal, don’t teach a little prostitute! Jie Yu said thoughtfully

I knew you wanted to take advantage of the topic. I couldn't help but glar at her, but I knew she was saying the most wise sayings

Since the death of the master, I have lived in Yangzhou for less than a month in two years. I walked on the streets without any reincarnation. Not many people have recognized me anymore. The wanderer who once won countless reputations in brothels has probably been forgotten in the corner.

The so-called gold is used to teach singing and dancing, and keep it with others to enjoy the youth. Thinking about the past wandering life is really like a spring dream!

Xu Xu didn't understand, so he asked me what her master meant. I recited the poem "Thoughts"

When she heard that when she was three or five years old, she had heard of a change of master, and suddenly realized, and said: It turns out that the lady is afraid that the master will be sad! Perhaps because of her own injury, her expression immediately became sad.

Xu Xu is a child of a poor family. He has more than a dozen brothers and sisters in the family. Life is extremely difficult. Naturally, a girl has almost no status at home. She sent her to the Yàn family just to give her a way out.

The destruction of the entire army of Yàn's sons originally made her future worry. After all, there were very few sects in the world that were willing to accept female disciples, but because of me, everything had changed. Not only did she gradually become an indispensable member of Zhuyuan, but her brothers and sisters in her hometown also got rid of poverty with my secret help and became a well-known landlord in the local area. Xu Xu was relieved, but he couldn't help but miss his deceased mentor and his parents who had not met for a long time.

I originally agreed to take Wuxia and the others to Quanzhou to relax, but asked Zongshe to disrupt the situation. When the spring of next year, we will go south together and go back to Axu's house to take a look. Jianjieyu nodded, and my eyes turned to Xu Xu with a surprise look on his face and said with a smile: I heard that your hometown is a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and rivers...

While talking, he saw a group of people galloping towards the street. The leader was fat and fat. It was Murong Wandae, the second leader of the Murong family, who was still five feet away from me. He flew off the horse and came forward.

The elder brother really guessed it. The young master is indeed a nostalgic person

Murong did not have the slightest anger when he killed the Zhao brothers, but instead smiled flatteringly, like a turtle man from Tingyue Pavilion.

The eldest brother said, even if Shenyuan is sold, Dong Shao will come back to see it, so Zhongguan is here every day, and his hard work pays off. He really waited for you while he was talking and looking at Xu and saw Xu Xu's expression tense, and a little surprised appeared on his face.

I knew Xu Xuding remembered the inhumane killing outside Yingtian City, so he quietly changed his position, obscuring Murong Wandai's gaze, and laughed: Murong Second Brother, as the saying goes, show your kindness if you have nothing to do, either you are traitor or robber, your boss...

No, no, no, I heard me joke in my hometown dialect, the only restraint on Murong Wandae's face disappeared and laughed out loud: I don't know if I move, the eldest brother will take Sun Bi, the top card in the incense courtyard the day after tomorrow. I heard that you have left Beijing, and you are guessing that you are going back to Yangzhou. How can you be missing the guest of honor for this wedding?

Oh? Your boss really has leisure and pleasure! I laughed, but my heart was filled with a stern heart. Although I did not hide my leave Beijing, I knew very little. Murong got the news so quickly. Obviously, he had hidden threads in Beijing, and the most suspected person was naturally the team of Cao Governor Li Yue.

It's okay if you don't marry. Somehow Sun Bi was pregnant with her eldest brother's child

Murong Wandai's words suddenly aroused my worries, and my face changed suddenly

Murong was so delicate. Seeing this, he probably thought that Su Jin, whom I had cared so much, was made big by someone else. He suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't know how to fulfill his words, so he had to smile embarrassedly: There are three unfilial things, no descendants are the greatest, and no descendants are the greatest!

I suppressed my annoyance, and I agreed with a smile, but I politely declined the suggestion of staying at the Murong family. I made an appointment to visit Murong Qianqiu in the evening, so I took Jie Xu and his two daughters to the restaurant.

The last time the two girls accompanied me back to Yangzhou was for Yang Shen. They came and went in a hurry and it was winter again. Yangzhou did not leave much deep impression on them. Now in October, it is a good time for Yangzhou. Wandering in the scenery of the small bridge and flowing water, the two girls almost lingered.

Passing by Bao Daxiang, Jie Yu knew that one of her cousins ​​had sent her to take charge. He didn't want to meet him, but I remembered Zhou Zhe, a master with superb skills, was now in Yangzhou, so he pulled two girls into it.

Tang Sanzang once told me that once the Tang Sect is successfully integrated, he will focus all his energy on the familiar medicinal materials business of Tang Sect, from supplying main pharmacies to building his own pharmacies in major cities in Jiangnan. Such a huge project made him not have much energy to take care of Bao Daxiang.

According to his opinion, he would discuss with the Yin family and let the Yin family redeem Yangzhou, Yingtian and two sub-colons, and the price was quite favorable. In this way, Zhou Zhe's whereabouts were quite difficult. Although I let go of the Yin family's affairs, I didn't want to make the Yin family lose a general for my reasons.

Almost all the old men in the Yin family era, so they were very familiar with me. When they saw me, they all gathered around and greeted me affectionately, but the name changed from the original eldest son to the adult, which made the customers in the store look at me.

Is Mr. Zhou Zhezhou in the store?

Now, thanks to his return, there are more customers. The guy Lao Zhang sighed and said he would call Zhou Zhe, so he walked towards the inside.

After a while, Zhou Zhe, who had a slightly awkward expression, walked out with a middle-aged man with a clear face.

The man smiled as he walked: Lord Wang really miss Bao Daxiang!

This man is somewhat similar to Tang Tianwen. His eyes are shining brightly, his hands are slender and his five fingers are slender, and his attitude is calm. He is obviously possessing great martial arts. I also recognized him at a glance. He was Tang Tianyun, the head of the Baicaotang Hall of the Tangmen.

Two people who have never met officially know each other, and I thought about it and found it funny. While I pretended to be puzzled on my face, Tang Tianyun had already introduced himself.

I have heard of Mr. Tang’s name for a long time. Mr. Zhu is a master of pharmacy, and it makes people admire him. After complimenting him, I explained my purpose: My uncle and I are old customers of Bao Daxiang. Many of the jewelry that are cheap is from Master Zhou and his son. Although I have worked with Master Zhou and I in the Hangzhou Prefecture Office, when it comes to carving skills, even ten kings can’t catch up with Zhou Zhe!

Zhou Zhe blushed, and Nuonuo said a few words of humility

I continued: I have moved south with my family, and I am afraid there will be no chance to go back to Yangzhou in the future, so I have to take the opportunity to let Master Zhou create a few jewelry for Jiannei

Jie Yu cleverly entangled Zhou Zhe, while Tang Tianyun and I came to the secret room

Don’t you know that the Tang Party is currently negotiating with the Yin family about the repurchase of the Yangzhou family?

So, the overall situation of the Tang Sect has been decided?

A strange look flashed in Tang Tianyun's eyes, and he probably realized that Tang Sanzang and his son had received my support. He should be secretly grateful that he had not stood in the wrong team: My elder brother gave up his position as a family and was willing to live in Jiangnan. It can be said that my door has completed the integration.

How could this be the case?! I was stunned and thought to myself: Have the two brothers reconciled? Is Tang Tianwei so easy to talk to? Is the pain of losing his son so easily healed?

This ending is very different from what Tang Sanzang and I thought at the beginning. Tang Tianwen's low attitude also made me suspicious. This was not a wonderful move for him to retreat to advance, right? Besides, his landing in Jiangnan might bring me some disasters.

I was thinking, but my face was as calm as water: In this case, it is imperative that the Tang Sect withdraw from the field that I am not good at. However, although I am the son-in-law of the Yin family, I am also a friend of Sanzang. Therefore, I hope that the negotiations on the Yangzhou number are just a business act. I don’t want any party to suffer any losses, nor do I want it to be covered with any other color.

This is definitely just a business decision. Tang Tianyun obviously understood what I meant and smiled slightly: However, Mr. Yin is the adult's father-in-law, but not the friend of Sanzang's nephew Ah!

As expected, the old man should have used my name as a lie to pretend to be a tiger. I think in his eyes, it would be a fool to have such a son-in-law in vain! Although Baoting repeatedly warned his family, he could not turn against his father for this matter!

This is the father-in-law Taishan, and the father-in-law Taishan there is also the father-in-law Taishan. Although Yin Chenghuang was unaware of it, Tang Tianwen knew it very well. He heard that Yin Chenghuang was holding his son-in-law to threaten him, I thought it was a irritating!

I will not treat Tang Sect badly. I always give Tang Tianwen some reassurance so that he knows that my son-in-law has not forgotten him: Tang Sect wants to open a pharmacy in Jiangnan, and I will try my best to ensure the safety of Tang Sect's water and land transportation.

Someone said this, Yangzhou is worth giving it to the Yin family for free. Tang Tianyun, who didn't understand the mystery, suddenly lit up when he heard this.

I waved my hand quickly and said that these are two things: Tang Sect really wants to thank me, can you do Zhou Zhe's work and let him put down his burden and return to Yinjiabao Daxiang with Yangzhou?

I have no face to face my old boss Ah! Zhou Zhe said ashamedly

This is a bad thing! I said firmly: Good birds choose trees to live in. All the craftsmen in ancient and modern times must have higher pursuits after reaching your level. At that time, my father-in-law Yin, did not realize this, but Jiyuezhai accurately grasped your psychology. It is natural to defect to Jiyuezhai. As for the Hangzhou government office to testify, it is to show that you are open-minded and honest, and you may also be under considerable pressure. If you are wrong, it is when Jiyuezhai changes hands, the Yin family is eager to seek talent and is eager to go back, but you run to the Tang Bao Daxiang

Those who know me are adults!

If the Tang Dynasty Bao Daxiang returns to the Yin family, Zhou Zhe is probably the most uncomfortable person. Jiyuezhai is full of rash aura, and he just came out of there, so he would not want to look back.

If he doesn't go back to Yin's house, then the only thing that can make him settle is Jiguzhai, which he rejected some time ago. Even if Jiguzhai doesn't care about his past grudges, he may not be able to escape his name as a slave in the jewelry industry.

With the living example of the Tang Sect, he should also understand how difficult it is to start a business by himself. At this time, I gave him a huge step and had face. No wonder he was so excited that he burst into tears.

I have some selfishness, at least I will ask you to make jewelry in the future, and it will never be like before, with tens of thousands of yuan!

Listening to me joking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively

That's it! I've seen the pair of "two dragons playing with the pearls" brought by Sister Wuxia, and also seen Sister Wei's "Heart Lake". They are really exquisite masterpieces! Master Zhou, when can you help me design that set of jewelry? Jie Yu looked at Zhou Zhe with anxious eyes, but the eyes that he secretly glanced at him were a hint of shyness

However, before I could find out what kind of jewelry Zhou Zhe designed for Jie Yu, Yangzhou Chief Admiral Zhai Hua had blocked me in Bao Daxiang.

Actually, I should visit the prefect Chen, he is my parents! However, this official went south this time, and the lord should not disturb the governments in various places. I can only appreciate the kindness of the prefect Chen. I carried out the emperor and politely rejected the invitation of the prefect Chen Zhuo. Chen Zhuo was very beneficial to the master but stood on the opposite side of the Shenyuan when the tenant farmers resisted the rent. I still feel resentful.

Zhai Hua is an old acquaintance. Seeing that there is no one around, he whispered: Don’t worry, I’m going to tell you, the Prime Minister Chen invited you to live in the mansion, not only to ease the relationship between you, but more importantly, Lord Li Yue, the governor of Cao, is currently inspecting Cao transport in Yangzhou, and lives at the home of Chen’s prefect.

He looked at me and said slowly: You should know that Lord Li and Cao Gang have a close relationship! According to the tips I received, Li Zhan, the leader of the Cao Gang, had secretly visited Fengyang to meet him many times.

I immediately understood the intention of Chen Zhuo to invite me to live in his house. Many people in the officialdom attributed the reason why I became the Minister of Justice to Gui E. Fang Xianfu was favored by the emperor, so many people felt that they had no hope of getting in touch with Gui Fang, so they started to make my decision. Chen Zhuo was one of them, and there was something else. He also wanted to show that my relationship with him was extraordinary in front of others.

But Li Yue is one of the people I am very interested in. However, Li Zhan has a close relationship with him? Let’s make a fool of himself! Li Zhan is not an important figure in the world. Besides the large number of people, the Cao Gang does not have much fuel or water. How can he afford a second-rank official?

If I guess correctly, the Murong family should be the one who really has something to do with him in the capital. I reviewed Li Yue’s files and found that he had served as the Hedong Salt Administration in his early years. At that time, the time when the Murong family was developing rapidly. As for the Cao Gang to turn to the Murong family, it should be the result of the Murong family putting pressure on it through Li Yue!

However, Zhai Hua's words made me suspicious. Did he get the benefits of Murong Qianqiu? Zhai Hua is different from Lu Wei. Behind Lu Wei is the intimidating Shaolin Temple, and Suzhou does not have a powerful sect, so Suzhou has become a nightmare in the martial arts world. Without a strong backing, Zhai Hua is likely to have reached some kind of compromise with the Murong family, otherwise Yangzhou would not be so quiet. His words are not without the meaning of temptation.

Lord Li Governor Cao Transport, it is natural to have interactions with the Cao Gang, nothing is strange, I smiled and said

After all, Zhai Hua is old Xingming, and he didn't have any strange expression when he heard this. I continued: Brother Zhai, I won't let you make things difficult for you.

After writing two greetings, Bao Daxiang's friend went to Wensilou to order a table of exquisite wine and food, and sent it to Chen Zhuo's mansion to show his respect, and then sent Zhai Hua away

Looking at Zhai Hua's back who was quickly integrated into the bustling crowd, I felt sad. Without the power to worship, he and I could probably maintain a very simple friendship! And while gaining power, I may have lost more

Yu'er, thank you for your hard work to go to Chen's Mansion tonight

Jie Yu, who was feeling bored, suddenly became eager to try it out

Haha, don't love, congratulations, Ah!

In the Tingyu Villa, Murong Qianqiu's smile with fat flesh on his face looked extremely sincere and kind. The bright young woman wearing white fox fur behind him was also looking at me with a smile. The eyes of Jianshuiqiu showed a hint of sorrow and a hint of lingering was exactly my old lover when I was in the past, Sun Bi, who was about to marry Murong Qianqiu as her concubine.

Happy together and I smiled and said: Brother, you are very brave!

Murong laughed twice: Don't love, I'm thinking about my two nieces being my daughter-in-law! Grandma, it makes me so tired! Time is so fucking unforgivable! At the end, he sighed.

It turns out you are not kind! I kicked up and said angrily half true and half false

The two of them talked and laughed and entered the bathroom. This was a habit that Murong and I developed in the past. Murong didn't seem to want to destroy it, but I followed the guests, so naturally there was no reason to object.

I was only surprised when I saw Sun Bi following him start to untidy her clothes.

Brother, have you been playing too much?!

What are you afraid of? You have never seen it before! Murongman hugged the red Sun Bi indifferently, bit the woman's purple nipples, and smiled vaguely: Don't love, you still push the beauty when you see it, it's not your usual style! I think that the four top brands in Yangzhou were all your ministers under your crotch back then, and you even held an unblocked conference!

But I don’t have the habit of visiting other couples’ houses!

Having said that, looking at Sun Bixue's delicate body, I couldn't help but think of her former demon Mèi who had been so kind under me. Her slightly raised belly stimulated my nerves. The weapon under the clear pool was quietly angry and snuggled up to me. The pair of Western Regions sisters who were snuggling tightly next to me immediately noticed it and looked at each other. I didn't know whether it was my sister or sister, and leaned down and clamped the Dragon King between a pair of breasts.

Could it be that you really became a Taoist scholar? Seeing that I reacted strongly, Murong couldn't help but say suspiciously: Friends are like brothers and feet, and women are like clothes. Even if I give you Abi, it's just me that I give you a piece of clothing. What's so great about it? Besides, I didn't let you mess with my woman!

Forget it, I am not interested in cuckolding others anyway. I ignore Murong anymore. I concentrate on experiencing the beauty of the Western Regions women. I am used to seeing the plumpness of Wuxia Ningxin, and I feel that the two sisters are not very surprising. Instead, it is not as attractive as Sun Bi, who was made by Murong, who was hummingly humming by Murong.

I don’t have it either! I have this habit, but the group of turtle bastards in Wudang Sect. A sharp light flashed in Murong’s eyes, and a vague ray of the heroes in the world were revealed: Don’t love, I’m sorry for you, I didn’t take Su Jin to you, so that Wudang Qingyun and Qingyu, these two bastards have an opportunity to take advantage of!

Look? How can people's hearts be watched!

I felt a stinging pain in my heart. Besides Qingyun, there was actually Qingyu. Wudang alone gave me two cuckolds. No wonder I was so anxious to deal with me! And I don’t know how many Nichen can be under Su Jin’s skirt!

It’s going to rain, and my mother wants to get married, so she can do whatever she wants!

You are generous! Murong Lei was a little surprised and said: But Wudang is like guarding against you. A few days after you left the capital, Qingyu had already publicly said that there is no need to continue the Wulin Tea Party. They have to destroy half of your martial arts first! He also said: You are in a mood to take women to travel around!

What are you afraid of? The world is not the world of Wudang

This is right. Without Wudang, the world is still the same world!

Although my tone was light, Murong still heard my dissatisfaction with Wudang, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: Speaking of which, don’t love, I really admire you. Yesterday, I heard Tan Yu say that the first Master of the Announcement in the Sutra Library of Shaolin Temple publicly expressed his support for the renewal of the Wulin Tea Party at the Henan Wulin colleagues’ gathering a few days ago. Qingfeng suddenly ate such a stick, probably very depressed!

Shaolin and Wudang have always been in harmony with each other, but in the past twenty years, the two families have not publicly sang opposites. Once the empty words were made, the relationship between the two factions could be said to have reached a freezing point.

However, although those who made remarks were important figures of both factions, both sides retained the possibility of change. Without any necessity, these veterans in the world would not force themselves to the road to Huashan.

He said to Murong again what he said to Shaolin and finally said: The top ten honors may not be anything to Shaolin Wudang, but they are a golden sign for many other sects in the world. For this year's tea party, the Chunshui Sword Sect will never participate in the Iron Sword Sect and Hengshan Sect again. There are such a good opportunity, how many sects are willing to give up?

Murong frowned slightly when he heard the words. The top ten vacant places will inevitably cause competition and disagreement within the Jiangbei Group. This was a lesson from previous years. In his opinion, the top ten of this year made everyone not see the hope of being on the list.

Although the Iron Sword Sect lost two masters, Hu Yifei and Lai Hu'er, the sect leader Wan Liliu, Zong Liang and Zimo, was more than enough to maintain the top ten status. Although the main force of Hengshan Sect Jingxian also disappeared, it also has a strong player who did not show up at the tea party last year. The only variable is the Chunshui Sword Sect, which clearly opposes the withdrawal of the Chunshui Sword Sect, but lacks sufficient reasons.

Brother, the scenery should be taken into consideration. In Jiangbei Group, except for your Murong family, only Libye Villa can be put on the table. However, Dajiang League has formed a strategic alliance with the top ten Wudang and Hengshan. There are also quasi-ten sects such as the Baihua Gang and the Eagle Claw Sect. They may take the opportunity to reach the sky in one step. The momentum is much greater than that of you. Can you annex all the sects in the Jiangbei Group? Obviously not, then, what to use to attract these sects to work for you is just the word fame and fortune? The Tea Party provides you with a ready-made opportunity, and you don’t even have to spend an extra penny for it.

Murong blinked his eyes and began to think

I continued: Of course competition is inevitable, but the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Last year, the Dajiang League secretly assisted the Eagle Claw Sect. Although it caused dissatisfaction among some sects, more sects saw the hope that as long as they follow the Dajiang League, the Dajiang League will not treat them badly. You, Murong family, can copy them? Like the Tan family in northern Anhui, Tan Yuzai married Yue Youying, the strength of the Tan family is no longer a secret. If one or two strong players help, it is not a fantasy to enter the top ten. I smiled slightly: Brother, I sent Song Weichang to the Yellow Spring Road, and Lin Yun from the Baihua Gang was also missing. Don’t tell me, you can’t even find a secret master in your hand!
