Chapter 172: Asking for News
Mu Chen and Sima Yunxuan left Shangguan Wuyi's room, but they didn't rush to find Tianji Fang, but found Li Qingxian's room in Qige Villa. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Qige Villa, the premier treasure house on the rivers and lakes, Huashan Sword, they will definitely come.
knocked on the door, and it was Li Nanke who came out, he still had a gentle face, and when he saw Mu Chen, he immediately greeted him with a smile, and said, "Mr. Mu, what is the matter with coming here?"
Mu Chen smiled and said, "I heard that Master Li Zhuang also came to Huashan, so I want to come to visit, I wonder if it is convenient for Master Li Zhuang?"
Li Nanke didn't speak, but Li Qingxian's voice came from inside the house, "Let them in"
Li Nanke turned his head to the house and said, "Yes, the owner" After speaking, he smiled and said to Mu Chen, "Two please"
When I stepped into the house, I saw Li Qingxian drinking tea.
Li Qingxian saw Mu Chen and Sima Yunxuan, and a smile appeared on his face, he stood up and said, "Brother Mu, Brother Sima, come on, sit down and have a cup of tea together"
The two nodded slightly, the three of them sat at the table, and Li Nanke stood quietly beside Li Qingxian, not speaking, just smiling.
Although Li Nanke looked very calm, Mu Chen could feel that his attention was very focused, completely focused on Mu Chen's hands, arms and legs.
If Mu Chen wants to sneak up on Li Qingxian, pay attention to these places and always detect something first.
Sima Yunxuan smiled and said, "Steward Li, you don't need to be so nervous, we just have nothing to do, let's sit down."
Li Nanke smiled and said, "Yes," although he said so, he did not relax in the slightest.
Mu Chen couldn't help but admire, he didn't expect that Qige Villa still had such a loyal housekeeper, this kind of person is rare in the rivers and lakes.
Li Qingxian smiled and said, "Come on, come on, two, come and drink a cup of good Pu'er tea"
After that, he stood up and poured tea for the two, and as soon as he stood up, he blocked Li Nanke's view, and Li Nanke consciously moved a step to the right.
After pouring the tea, Li Qingxian sat back again, and Li Nanke also stood back.
Mu Chen saw that Li Nanke was no longer as alert as before, because Li Qingxian's actions just now had already told Li Nanke that Mu Chen and the others would not hurt Li Qingxian, otherwise in an instant just now, Li Qingxian would have been out of the sky.
Mu Chen picked up the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile, "Good tea"
Sima Yunxuan also smiled and said, "It is indeed good tea, sure enough, Qige Villa is different, such a good tea is indeed uncommon"
Li Qingxian said with a smile, "Brother Sima said that it was funny, my tea naturally can't be compared with the palace, I hope Brother Sima doesn't dislike it."
Sima Yunxuan smiled and said, "Don't dislike, don't dislike"
Li Qingxian took a sip of tea and said to Mu Chen, "I don't know what Brother Mu is looking for me?"
Mu Chen looked at Li Qingxian and didn't speak, Li Qingxian continued, "I still understand this truth if I don't have anything to do, Brother Mu has something to say, I will definitely do my best to help."
Mu Chen nodded, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "Today, the Tianming Daoist was assassinated."
Li Qingxian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said to Li Nanke, "Is there such a thing?"
Li Nanke said, "Yes"
Li Qingxian was shocked when he heard this, and said, "I didn't expect that someone would dare to be so bold, and the Tianming Dao Elder would dare to kill, do you know who did it?"
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but you can know that the murderer is a difficult character."
Li Qingxian said, "Martial arts are very high?"
Mu Chendao "Swordsmanship"
Li Qingxian said, "How good can it be?"
Muchen said "a sword to seal the throat"
Li Qingxian lost her voice again, "No resistance?"
Mu Chen nodded and unconsciously glanced at Li Nanke.
Li Nanke saw Mu Chen looking at him, and said lightly, "What?
Mu Chen smiled and said, "I was fortunate to see Steward Li's swordsmanship once, although it was very fast, but it was not yet to the point where I could seal the throat of Tianming Dao with one sword, I hope Steward Li will not misunderstand"
Li Nanke stopped talking, and Li Qingxian asked again, "Since that's the case, I don't know when Brother Mu came to me?"
Mu Chen said, "I came to ask Brother Li about someone."
Li Qingxian said, "Who?"
Muchen said "Tianji Fang"
Li Qingxian fell into deep thought, Mu Chen immediately felt happy when he saw his reaction, Li Qingxian's reaction could at least show that he did know the people of Tianji Fang.
Mu Chen continued: "One of Qige Villa and Tianji Fang is called the 'Jianghu Treasure House' and the other is called the 'News Exchange', so I think Master Li Zhuang should know the people of Tianji Fang, at least you have traded."
After pondering, Li Qingxian said slowly, "Don't hide it from Brother Mu, I can find so many treasures on the rivers and lakes in Qige Villa, in addition to listening to the rumors on the rivers and lakes, most of the treasures are hidden through Tianji Fang."
When Mu Chen heard that he really didn't guess wrong, he immediately smiled and said, "Then I wonder if Master Li can help me introduce me?"
Li Qingxian was a little embarrassed, and said, "Brother Mu, my relationship with Tianjifang is just a trading partner, the people of Tianjifang are very careful in the rivers and lakes, it is indeed not easy to find them, not to mention that the news of Tianjifang is even more difficult to buy, if Brother Mu wants to know who the murderer is through Tianjifang, then I don't think it is better to bother with this effort."
Mu Chen said, "Listening to Master Li's words, do you know where they are?"
Li Qingxian hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's not difficult for you to find them, I have a way, but the news from Tianjifang is not good."
Mu Chen said, "How is it not good?"
Li Qingxian sighed and said, "Tianjifang has always had a bad reputation because they buy and sell news on the rivers and lakes, so they are also very low-key, in order to maintain it on the rivers and lakes, they deliberately raised the price of the news very high, otherwise, it is just that Tianjifang knows that many sects do not pass on the secrets, which is enough for them to die hundreds of times."
Mu Chen nodded, Li Qingxian's words were indeed right, no one wanted to have a person in the rivers and lakes who knew his secrets, and if there was such a person, then he didn't want to live for a long time.
But Tianjifang survived, and there were two conditions for him to survive, the first is that Tianjifang not only knows your secrets, but also knows the secrets of others, and also knows the secrets of your enemies.
This alone can help a lot of people.
The second point is that the price of news from Tianjifang is very high, ordinary people can't afford it, and there are few people who spend a lot of money to buy a news, let alone those who are outlaws who live all over the world.
If a person really has the money to buy secrets, then the secrets are naturally very expensive, and the secrets of the gold are often afraid of being leaked, so the owners of these secrets do not want to leak the secrets.
And Tianjifang has a strict management system inside, and the news will never be spread outside, but if Tianjifang is destroyed, its internal system will collapse, and secrets will be more likely to be leaked.
Therefore, this has formed a mutual constraint, Tianjifang can survive, and the people on the rivers and lakes dare not easily move Tianjifang.
If you try to destroy the Tianji Fang, then the Tianji Fang can spread your secrets on the rivers and lakes, then when you destroy the Tianji Fang, your enemies will come to the door, and it will not be far from your destruction.
After Mu Chen got through the causal relationship between them, he was also amazed, and admired the person who founded Tianjifang, who could see the affairs of the rivers and lakes so thoroughly, and use the constraints between them to survive, which can already be said to be a strange person.
