Chapter 31: Clues
"Excalibur Villa?"
"Well," Lin Xuanxuan nodded, "This was decided by the imperial court three years ago, don't you know?"
Gu Ruochen shook his head.
Three years ago, he was still on Earth, and the original owner of his body was still a fool, and he didn't pay attention to these things at all.
The Qingyun Meeting was held in the Divine Sword Villa, which was a good opportunity for Gu Ruochen to explore.
Gu Ruochen said: "When the time comes, you have a senior brother who wants to participate, right?"
Lin Xuanxuan nodded.
Gu Ruochen said: "Then let's go and cheer for your senior brother." ”
"Okay, Master, they are expected to arrive in the afternoon, I'm going to meet Master, do you want to go with me?"
"Yes. ”
Gu Ruochen nodded, and then called Ah Liang to eat together, and after eating, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Gu Ruochen asked Ah Liang to wrap the Ghost Le Sword in a black cloth
......
In the afternoon, the restaurant.
Gu Ruochen and Lin Xuanxuan took Ah Liang to meet Lin Xuanxuan's master and brothers.
In the restaurant, Gu Ruochen saw Xu Boyi, Ling Haoxuan, Princess Ning Ning, and three young men Gu Ruochen had never seen them, but looking at their uniform white dress, it must be Lin Xuanxuan's senior brother, and he was also the person who participated in the Qingyun Club this time.
Ling Haoxuan was very enthusiastic about Lin Xuanxuan, shushing the cold for a while, and teasing her and Gu Ruochen for a while.
Fortunately, Lin Xuanxuan has a more cheerful personality, and she is not afraid that everyone will know her love for Gu Ruochen, and she just laughs in the face of everyone's ridicule.
Xu Boyi called Gu Ruochen to the big tree outside the restaurant.
"Gu Shaoxia, I've wanted to talk to you for a long time. Xu Boyi said with his hands down.
Gu Ruochen said politely: "What does Uncle Xu want to talk about?"
"You eradicate the Fang family, punish Qiu Guangtian, kill Shen Yunyou, you are so young, your cultivation is so heavenly, for thousands of years, no one can reach your achievements. So at the beginning, I suspected that you had a driving force behind it, because it was really unacceptable for you to have this kind of cultivation at your age. ”
"This ......" Gu Ruochen didn't know what to do.
"But after I found out your identity, I checked it carefully, and you did all these things alone. You have shattered thousands of years of human understanding of cultivation. Now that the common people worship you as a god, the imperial court has stepped up its investigation of you, and the cultivation masters all think that you are not only seventeen years old, but you are now a popular figure. ”
Gu Ruochen could only smile.
He had also heard about his legends, but he only did what he thought he should do every day, and he didn't expect to make such a big splash at all, and he didn't care too much.
He is a person who doesn't like to be famous, because being famous means that there are a lot of people who pay attention to you, and your every move will be amplified, so he tried to keep a low profile at the beginning and find a way to hide himself, but there was no way, the people he killed and the things he did made him completely unable to be low-key.
Especially if after completing the task this time, what really happened to Shenjian Villa and Yi Tianhao, then it would be difficult for him to hide it again.
It shouldn't be long before the imperial court connects Gu Ruochen with the young man of Yong'an County.
Xu Boyi continued: "As far as I know, your original name is Ah Fu, and you became an orphan four years ago, I don't know what you have experienced in the past four years, what adventures you have, but this year, you were born out of nowhere, causing an unprecedented shock in the rivers and lakes and even the entire Great Zhou Empire, such a momentum is not a good thing for you." ”
"So, Uncle Xu, are you trying to persuade me to put away my sword a little?" asked Gu Ruochen.
"You killed Shen Yunyou, you offended Xiao Renjie, you are now with Yi Zeyu again, and the threat is unknown, you have offended the two major forces in this way, Yi Tianhao and Leng Hanyuan, Divine Sword Villa and Shadowless Pavilion, but it is not comparable to Fang Kun and the Fang family, you are igniting a fire and setting yourself on fire. ”
"What does Uncle Xu mean?"
"Stop, you're still young, with your current talent, endure for another ten or eight years, and then do what you want to do when you cultivate to a higher level. ”
Gu Ruochen sighed when he heard this.
He also wanted to stop, but if he wanted to level up, he had to complete the task, and if he did, he would have to stop forever.
Gu Ruochen said: "Uncle Xu's kindness, I understand it, but I am already the arrow of Xuan, there is no turning back, the only thing I am worried about now is Xuanxuan, she followed me all the way, I am afraid of implicating him." ”
"So you're already planning to change the pattern of the rivers and lakes?" asked Xu Boyi.
Gu Ruochen shook his head, "I don't want to change the pattern, I'm just doing what I should do." Just like you, from Shen Yunyou to Leng Hanyuan, you have tolerated all the way, and you must be doing what you should do, right?"
Xu Boyi was taken aback when he heard this.
He always thought that Gu Ruochen was just cultivating to a high level, but he didn't expect his mind to be so meticulous.
Gu Ruochen continued: "We are all working hard for what we should do, and I believe that our purpose will not be reversed. ”
Xu Boyi nodded slowly, "I can't believe that you are only seventeen years old, your mind, your wisdom, far beyond your age." ”
Gu Ruochen just smiled.
How can you be immature in two lives?
......
Gu Ruochen and Xu Boyi had dinner together and returned to the mansion.
As soon as they returned to the mansion, they saw Wei Ming sitting in the courtyard.
"Some clues. "I don't know how to say it directly.
"Oh. Gu Ruochen was very satisfied with the speed of the unknown.
"The largest industry of Shenjian Villa is the medicinal material industry, and the Wuliang faction is called the twin heroes of the medicinal material industry of the Great Zhou Empire, the world's medicinal material industry, Shenjian Villa accounts for one-third, the Wuliang faction accounts for one-third, and other medicinal material merchants account for one-third. ”
"I know that. Gu Ruochen said.
"I know you know, but aren't you curious? The Divine Sword Mountain Villa has only been established for thirty years, and the Infinite Sect is a thousand-year-old faction, how did he get a piece of the pie in the hands of the thousand-year-old faction and keep up with it?"
Gu Ruochen nodded, "I've been curious, but I'm not sure about business." ”
"If this kind of shop wants to rise quickly, in addition to the necessary strength, it is nothing more than two ways, one is luck, and the other is the support of the imperial court. ”
"Well, that makes sense. ”
"It's just that this time it's not the support of the imperial court, but the collusion of officials and businessmen. The imperial court did not give them privileges, but I peeked at their account books, and their goods were basically not taxed, and the imperial court's post station provided them with free transportation of goods. ”
"Taxation involves the household department, and the post station involves the military department, that is to say, at least the military department and the household department provide him with a convenient door. ”
"Not bad. But the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household want to do this kind of paper-wrapped fire, it is impossible to do it without any other helper, this is a rather large chain, are you sure you want to take care of it?"
Gu Ruochen hesitated a little.
He knew the horror of public power, and if he really took care of this matter, he would not only face Excalibur Villa, but also a group of vested interests behind him.
He Gu Ruochen has a three-foot life, and it is not terrible to offend these vested interests, but if Lin Xuanxuan is involved, he really can't accept it.
Gu Ruochen lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
