"Madam, the young master is fighting again. ”

In the study of a large mansion, a housekeeper-like figure leaned next to a middle-aged woman and said softly.

The woman was looking rich and kind, and she was looking through a thick account book at this time, and when she heard the butler's words, her eyelids lifted slightly, and she sighed, and said, "Call him over." ”

After a while, Tang Hao lowered his head and stood weakly in front of the woman's desk.

The woman ignored him and continued to look at the account silently until she finished reading part of the account, then she raised her head and glanced at Tang Hao.

I saw that half of his face was high and swollen, the circles of his two eyes were all blue and black, his expensive clothes were torn to tatters, and there were faint traces of blood between his hair.

The woman shook her head: "Hao'er, what's the matter?"

Tang Hao snorted and said, "It's not Zhao Fan yet, I originally wanted to ease the relationship with him, and everyone took advantage of the festival to have a meal and drink some wine, but he had to raise the bar with me......"

The woman stared at Tang Hao silently for a while, and said, "You fight, your mother has no objection, you are a martial artist, and a martial artist should fight." But if you're not sure to win, don't fight. ”

"Your father left early, and the Tang family relied on supporting his mother alone, do you know how many people are staring at our Tang family's industry? Today you lose the fight, tomorrow someone will say that the young master of the Tang family is not as good as the young master of the Zhao family, and the day after tomorrow, the Zhao family will climb on the head of our Tang family to and pee. ”

The woman looked luxurious, but the words she said were very down-to-earth, she stretched out her fingers and knocked on the table, with an expression of hatred on her face: "You also know that the Tang family and the Zhao family are bidding for the affairs of the labor army, you asked Zhao Fan to eat at this time, and there was a fight at the dinner, and you lost, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Tang Hao was speechless when he was spoken, but his face was still very unconvinced.

The woman shook her head and asked, "Why are you fighting?"

Tang Hao's expression was irritated for a while, but he still endured it, and described the things in the restaurant in a short language.

After hearing this, the woman thought for a moment and asked, "Zhao Fan is already a third-order?"

"Yes, I don't know what kind of shit luck this kid has got...... Tang Hao said dejectedly: "The last time we met, his realm was not as good as mine! As a result, in just a few months, he was actually a third-order! I didn't expect ...... either."

The woman frowned and said, "The Zhao family bought a street half a year ago, and there is a newly opened foundry shop on that street, I heard that the owner of that shop is the nephew of the bishop of our Yuhai Martial Temple, I don't know if it has anything to do with it." ”

Tang Hao also frowned, took his mother's words and said, "Our family has also bought the secret method of the Martial God Temple!"

"It's not the same. The woman shook her head and said, "The Martial Mystic Method is no different from other transcendent secret methods, every slight difference in the movement may have a huge impact, and if you have the guidance of a master, the effect is completely different." ”

Tang Hao saw his mother facing him, his heart felt a little more comfortable, and he said stubbornly: "Mother, then let's also go to the bishop of the Martial God Temple, isn't it money, the Zhao family can give him a shop, we can also give it!"

Tang Mu pointed to the soft leather chair on the side and said, "Sit down." ”

After Tang Hao sat down weakly, she said: "Do you think that Wei Niang has not thought about it? However, our Tang family started as a business in the Temple of Life, and we can lay down half of the market of Yuhai Medical Hall, in addition to your father who helped Bishop Lan in his early years, it is also my Hai Ruwei who has spent decades helping the Yuhai Temple of Life to preach vigorously, and they give back. ”

"Although the Martial God Temple has a good relationship with us on the surface, but in private, who doesn't know that our Tang family and the Life Temple are wearing a pair of pants? ”

When Tang Hao heard this, he became even more depressed.

He took the wound medicine handed by the housekeeper, and while smearing it on his face indiscriminately, he said: "Then what should I do, if I can't go up in the realm of strength, won't I be crushed by him Zhao Fan everywhere in the future?"

When Hai Ruwei heard this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "Hao'er, you tell Wei Niang, why do you want to be a powerful transcendent?"

Tang Hao organized the language and said, "Because my father was a powerful martial artist back then. ”

"Although in my impression, Dad is a businessman, but everyone tells me that Dad used to be a powerful martial artist whose strength could be compared to the bishop of the Martial God Temple, and it was precisely because of his strength that when our Tang family started from a small storefront, people didn't dare to bully us. ”

"This world is a world of the jungle, although we don't have to face the threat of monsters all the time like the people of the Southern Continent, but in the business field, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. We have no power or background, and the status of the Temple of Life in Yu Hai is far inferior to the other two Great Temples. ”

"Now our Tang family is okay, after all, the family background is here. But if it takes another five or ten years, who knows what will happen? In the future, I, Tang Hao, will be the head of the family, if I can't do it myself, and the nursing home and bodyguards I have recruited will not be able to suppress it, how can I make our Tang family stronger and bigger?"

Hai Ruwei nodded, with an approving look in her eyes.

"Hao'er, you've grown up. She said with relief: "Although you didn't do a beautiful job in the fight today, you can't be blamed entirely." ”

Tang Hao sighed, waved his hand and said, "Mother, what's the use of saying this, let's think about what to do next." ”

"What do you think?" asked Hai Ruwei.

Tang Hao rubbed his aching cheeks and said, "Mother, I want to go to the Polymath Society." ”

"Erudition?" Hai Ruwei asked, "Why?"

"Bishop Lan said that although the Polymath Society is a relatively loose organization, everyone exchanges and exchanges their own knowledge and knowledge, but in fact, there is a huge intelligence organization hidden in it, I want to try to see if I can get into it, spend a few years to get some real power in my hands, maybe I can grasp a lot of information, this should be very helpful to our Tang family, right?"

Hearing Tang Hao's answer, Hai Ruwei exhaled deeply, leaned back on the back of the chair, folded her hands, and thought about it.

After thinking for a long time, she shook her head and said, "No." ”

"In that ghost place of the Polymath Society, all those who can be high-level and hold real power are powerful people, either relatives of the emperor or high-ranking officials and ministers, although our family has a little money, but you basically have no chance to climb up. ”

Tang Hao sighed heavily and spread his hands: "Then what else can I do?" That is, there is no way to quickly improve my strength, and I don't have the ability to grasp power in the short term, even if I go to the imperial examination and really get in, according to the rules of our Shuo Dynasty, I have to climb up from the county officials little by little, and when I can keep our Tang family, twenty years have passed." ”

Hai Ruwei also sighed, she stretched out her slightly chubby fingers and knocked on the table for a while, and suddenly asked, "Tang An, you mentioned to me last time, what kind of academy has we opened in Yu Haicheng recently?"

Tang An, the housekeeper who had been standing beside him, heard the call of the head of the house, and hurriedly stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, it's Xiaoyao Academy." ”

"Xiaoyao Academy?" Tang Hao chewed on the name and asked, "What's that?"

"The little ones don't really understand either. Tang An turned to Tang Hao and said: "The person who is preparing for the academy is a fourth-order peak martial artist, he is not young, he looks like he is in his fifties, and he has some subordinates to work around to do some compradors, and it is quite generous to make a move, and a large piece of land in the old Xu Garden in the north of the city has been bought by them, and it seems that they have recently begun to open the door to accept apprentices." ”

"A fourth-order peak martial artist?" Tang Hao shook his head: "It's still too much worse to start a sect at this level, and if you are in your fifties, you don't have much potential." ”

Tang An thought for a while and said: "The young master is right, and they are very interesting, there is a sign hanging at the door, saying that they want to apprentice, and they have to pay the apprenticeship fee of three hundred gold ingots first." ”

The currency of the Western Continent is different from that of the Southern Continent, and the currency here has been uniformly measured by the Shuo Dynasty, and the gold ingots are the currency with the largest face value, and the three hundred gold ingots are about equivalent to the three thousand gold coins of the Southern Continent.

"How much?"

Tang Hao's voice suddenly raised an octave, and his mouth opened widely, but it hurt the wound on his face, and he grinned in pain. Tang Ruwei was also stunned for a moment, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Why do they have such a big breath?"

"This villain really doesn't know. Tang An hurriedly said: "At that time, when their sign was first hung out, they were also ridiculed by onlookers, but they were not moved at all. ”

Tang Hao's eyes flashed with a different color, he asked the housekeeper to bring him a cup of tea, and asked while drinking, "Mother, why did you notice this Xiaoyao Academy?"

Hai Ruwei smiled and said: "More than two months ago, when I was drinking morning tea one day, I met President Yang, and she mentioned to me that in the Southern Continent, the Hanging Pavilion took over a big business, and the other party was a college, and she said that it was a big business that could change the way of extraordinary combat in the future. ”

Tang Hao gasped when he heard this: "What? Is that Xiaoyao Academy?"

"I don't remember. Hai Ruwei smiled bitterly and said: "I'm old, my memory is not good, I don't take this matter too seriously, so naturally I won't remember it." ”

Tang Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "Mother, when we don't have any more good ways, you thought of Xiaoyao Academy, which means that there is a glimmer of hope in your heart, thinking that this is a place that has the potential to change the fate of our Tang family, right?"

"Yes, but I'm also afraid that it's a pit, and it's a waste of your time. Hai Ruwei said truthfully: "What President Yang said may not be the truth, not to mention that across the corridor of Louling, who knows how much the news will be exaggerated? Besides, it is not certain whether the academy she said is our Yu Hai's new one." ”

Tang Hao no longer hesitated, he laughed and said, "That's simple, I'll go and see it tomorrow...... Tang An, hurry up and find a reliable life dependent for the young master, otherwise how will I go out tomorrow with this face......"
