Chapter 24: Giving a Gift and Apology
Bai Yufeng was indeed calm, and after a few days, in addition to cultivating, he was basically planning how the Jade Wind Hall would develop and expand next.
In fact, compared to the development of Yufeng Hall, cultivation is not so important, if there is no special opportunity, in a year's time, the breakthrough in one's own cultivation will not be too big.
But Yufeng Hall is different, as long as it is managed properly, its scale can completely radiate to a wider and farther place.
In order to obtain the power of great merit, Bai Yufeng had to do the same, and it was not enough to rely on Lanshan City alone.
In addition, Bai Yufeng is naturally most concerned about Gongsun Peng, he is a member of Tiandilou, although he did not participate in the incident a year ago, but he will definitely know a lot of news about Tiandilou from his mouth, before that, he must get some information about him, so Bai Yufeng is still waiting.
Indeed, the Ethereal Spirit never disappointed him, and in the early morning of the third day, a secret letter from the empty family was delivered to him.
The letter was written by Ethereal Lingling herself, and it can be seen that she has a strong grip on the pen, the font is dancing with dragons and phoenixes, and the words are even more like beads.
"Honey, I miss you so much!"
These are the eight words at the beginning of the letter, Bai Yufeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, but the subtle feeling in his heart was also stirred up by these eight words, calmed down, and he continued to look down.
In the past few days, Ethereal Ling asked her grandfather Kong Tianjian to use various relationships to investigate Gongsun Peng's information, and even the date of Gongsun Peng's birth and even his usual life and rest were written in great detail on the letter.
While Bai Yufeng was grateful, he couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart, how good it would be if he had such a meticulous intelligence network.
The Bai family behind him did have such power, but it didn't belong to Bai Yufeng, he belonged to the entire Bai family.
Even if Bai Yufeng took over the Bai family, those things belonged to the entire family, and even if he wanted to use them, he had to go through the consent of the family elders.
If he could have such a power in his hands, it would be much easier to act, but this is just to think about it, he has no intention of doing it at the moment.
Looking under the letter, Bai Yufeng's gaze became more and more solemn.
It turned out that this Gongsun Peng family had a strong background, and the Gongsun family had held important positions in the Great Yan Holy Dynasty for several generations, and Gongsun Peng was one of their many brothers, but it was also the most uncompromising one.
It is possible that the family is trying to sharpen him, or it is possible that it is not to let him embarrass the family, so he used his position in the Holy Dynasty to send him to Arashiyama City as a military advisor.
So Gongsun Peng is very eager to get ahead, at least he wants to prove his status in the family.
This can also explain his motive for becoming a member of the Heaven and Earth Tower, if he can mix his head in the Heaven and Earth Tower, the little Gongsun family will naturally have to respect him, but this is just Bai Yufeng's speculation, whether it is because of this reason or other reasons, he does not know.
Although this information was important, it didn't help Bai Yufeng much, because no matter what kind of background forces he had behind him, Bai Yufeng would never give up the only clue at present.
His eyes flickered, and his gaze suddenly fixed on the second half of the letter.
Gongsun Peng secretly runs a Qinglou in Lanshan City, and the boss behind the famous Zuichun Mansion is actually his Gongsun Peng!
Although the law does not stipulate that officials cannot do business, you are too bold to blatantly invest in the construction of Qinglou, and this matter will not only be poked out for himself, but also the Gongsun family behind him.
If Gongsun Peng was for his own future in the Great Yan Holy Dynasty, how could he blatantly violate this precept?
Just to make money, he will never take this kind of risk, then there is only one possibility, there may be some special secret hidden behind Zuichun Tower, and will this secret be related to Tiandi Tower?
After continuing to browse for a while, Bai Yufeng put away the letter and closed his eyes and fell into contemplation, no matter what, he finally has some eyebrows now, just wait for himself to explore step by step, and the truth will eventually surface.
A smile appeared on Bai Yufeng's face, and he muttered to himself, "Gongsun Peng, no matter why you joined Tiandilou, it must be the most wrong decision you have made in your life. ”
With his hands behind his head, Bai Yufeng's thoughts went from near to far, and his ethereal appearance resurfaced in his mind.
For some reason, these days, this girl's appearance has frequently appeared in his mind, and the more he tries to put this thought aside, the more he can't help but think about it in his mind.
People are really a collection of all contradictions, some things are known to be impossible but want to do, and some things are not wanted to be thought about but want to think.
But Bai Yufeng no longer runs away from these thoughts now, there are some things that we have to face calmly, let alone such beautiful things as ethereal spirits?
Suddenly, there was a noisy noise outside the manor, and the sound was still far away, but Bai Yufeng was still keenly aware of it.
The voice came from far and near, and soon approached the courtyard where he was, and Bai Yufeng pushed the door out, and he was stunned.
I saw that the person in charge was Liao Bufan, and the haze on his face had already been swept away, and he seemed to have completely walked out of the shadows on the banquet.
There are also a few young men of Lanshan City who Bai Yufeng is not familiar with but also knows by his side, what is Liao Bufan doing with these young masters here?
What made Bai Yufeng even more stunned was that behind them, there were more than a dozen girls with bewitching bodies and picturesque eyebrows staring at Bai Yufeng shyly.
Bai Yufeng recognized it at a glance, these girls were all from the underground trading market, they were just sold here as commodities, and there was a thumb-sized silver crescent moon printed on their necks, indicating that they were from an organization with a huge underground power, Dark Moon.
There are many dark organizations that steal babies when they are born, and then nurture their abilities from an early age, and when they grow up, they are either used by the organization itself or sold at a high price, and Darkmoon is one of those organizations.
Although this typical slave trade was not legal, it was not explicitly prohibited, and a huge chain of interests had already formed that could not be changed by one or two laws.
I saw that they were graceful and graceful, and the breath in their bodies was quite extraordinary, and it must have cost Liao Bufan a lot of silver taels to buy these ten girls.
Behind these slave maidens, twenty men carried ten jars of wine that had been sealed for many years, and they carefully placed them around the courtyard.
"Liao Bufan, you are ......"
"Bai Gongzi, there are many offends at the birthday banquet, and today I, Liao Bufan, specially came to compensate you. ”
Liao Bufan said and bowed deeply to Bai Yufeng, Bai Yufeng who watched this scene was dumbfounded, when did Liao Bufan talk so well, isn't he a master who doesn't admit defeat until he dies, he is still waiting for your various revenge, you will admit and make amends?
And it's obvious that I offended you, when did you offend me, did you come to compensate me, what's wrong?
As soon as Liao Bufan's words were finished, he saw Ji Man walk out of another room, and when he saw Liao Bufan, his eyes were suddenly filled with an invisible evil aura.
Liao Bufan's body trembled, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes, until today, he has not been able to come out of the shadow on the birthday banquet, especially the psychological shadow given to him by Ji Man.
Bai Yufeng said: "Brother Liao, I am also ...... about ethereal things."
"Bai Gongzi, needless to say, this matter is all up to me, I think I want to eat swan meat as a toad, and I have never weighed how many catties and taels I have, how can I be qualified to marry an ethereal spirit. ”
"Uh......"
"Brother Bai, you don't remember villains, you just treat me as a fart, and it's over when you let it go. ”
“......”
Ji Man was stunned, this Liao Bufan took the wrong medicine today, and he came here to be Bai Yufeng's grandson, this is not like his style.
Liao Bufan apologized to others, strictly speaking, this was really the first time in his life, so it was no wonder that Ji Man was so surprised.
I only heard Liao Bufan continue: "I heard that Brother Bai has a soft spot for famous wines, and I have collected the best natural alcohol from the ten altars of Lanshan City in the past few days and sent it to you. ”
I saw the twenty big men carrying the ten jars of heavenly alcohol to Bai Yufeng, and carefully put the wine jar on the ground.
The angry Ji Man suddenly let out a light, he walked up to Liao Bufan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Even if you kid can be a man, I will accept this gift for him first." ”
Tianol is not only liked by Bai Yufeng, but he Ji Man is also no exception, but Tianol is expensive, Ji Man usually eats frugally and rarely drinks, but this is not in vain.
There was a hint of gloom in Liao Bufan's eyes, but he still smiled and grinned, and nodded to Ji Man again and again.
This is not what he pretended, the savage aura on Ji Man's body made him shudder, he didn't want to be picked up by this bear anymore.
I only heard him continue: "I heard that your manor is not small, but there are not many people who take care of it, and these beauties are carefully selected by me to give to Bai Gongzi at the moment." ”
The ten girls' eyes flickered, and they writhed in front of Bai Yufeng like snakes with graceful lotus steps, ready to obey any orders he had, even if they were to die immediately.
Bai Yufeng's eyes flickered and he kept thinking, this Liao Bufan came to apologize and make amends, but he actually came with such a heavy gift, what did he want to do?
And Ji Man laughed again, and then said: "Okay, good, such a big place, there are fewer people." ”
Bai Yufeng couldn't stop it, sometimes Ji Man's brain was not slow to react, but sometimes he was really like a fool.
Everyone knows that Liao Bufan is the kind of person who will repay flaws, at this time, not only did he not make a move on Bai Yufeng, but instead sent a bunch of gifts, which was too abnormal.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon, and if a person is abnormal, there will be a sword.
It's a pity that Ji Man was carried away by these interests in front of him, thinking that Liao Bufan really confessed to them, and he didn't realize the problem at all.
"Brother Liao, it's actually not a big deal, you don't need to send these heavy gifts, and I'm not used to having so many people waiting, so you might as well withdraw them." ”
As soon as Bai Yufeng's words were finished, Liao Bufan answered in that rough voice: "Brother Bai, don't you treat your brother as a human being, how can there be a reason to take back the things you sent out." ”
Ji Man kept winking at Bai Yufeng, signaling that the things he sent should not be in vain.
Bai Yufeng could only sigh helplessly, he was not a person who lacked these things, but Liao Bufan's move was too abnormal.
Liao Bufan seemed to be afraid that Bai Yufeng would regret it, so he hurriedly said: "Ji Man is right, my brother specially set up a banquet in Zuichun Building today to invite the two of you to have a drink, what do you think?"
"Hahaha, life must be happy, if you don't drink wine, it's Han, let's go, ......" Ji Man finished speaking and pulled Bai Yufeng out of the manor.
Bai Yufeng muttered to himself: "Drunken Spring Building, it's just right, I want to go there too." ”
