Xu Huaigu and Ruyu came to Liu Wan'er's wooden building and knocked on the door. Liu Wan'er was waiting in the building at the moment, came out and opened the door, and when she saw that it was Xu Huaigu, she couldn't help but smile and invited him in.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Ruyu said 1510: "Sister Liu, Mr. Xu has just arrived at home." It stands to reason that Chen Qi was supposed to come over, but she was going to play chess, so I came over for her to tell you. ”

Liu Wan'er smiled and nodded, "I know, thank you and Chen Qi for helping me." ”

Ruyu politely said no thanks. While making tea, Liu Wan'er looked at Xu Huaigu and said with a smile: "There are a lot of etiquette, you taught them?" ”

Xu Huaigu didn't know whether she was praising herself or blaming herself, so she reluctantly smiled: "Half of it is me, and half of it is Yu Qin." ”

Liu Wan'er finished making tea and sat down next to Xu Huaigu. Xu Huaigu picked up the teacup and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"What can it be? It's not a matter of this fairy boat yet. ”

"When did this fairy boat come?"

"The night before yesterday. First, after a strong wind blew all night, the two immortal boats slowly emerged from the clouds, and the disciples who patrolled the night had never seen the world, so they were so frightened that they couldn't do it, and they panicked everywhere to find someone to tell them. Later, a few people came down from the fairy boat, saying that it was the owner and steward of these two fairy boats, all of whom were cultivators of the eight or nine realms, and the valley master dared to be lazy, so he hurriedly invited him to live in the valley. Although this deal has been negotiated, there are still many matters to be negotiated, and I guess I can't do without you, so I'm here to call you. ”

Xu Huaigu bowed his head and said, "This is true, Xie Gu Master is afraid that he will not be able to be busy alone." In the two days that the fairy boat docked, was it still peaceful? ”

"It's okay, except for one of the stewards of the Eight Realms who stayed in the valley to live, the rest of the people returned to the immortal boat, and nothing happened. If you are free, go to the valley lord also. ”

Xu Huaigu nodded in agreement and proposed, "I'll be empty today, why don't you go together now?" ”

"It's fine."

So Xu Huaigu said to Ruyu: "You can go back first, she and I still have some business to do." ”

Ruyu nodded and agreed. So the three of them drank a few sips of tea, then left the wooden building and went their separate ways. Xu Huaigu and Liu Wan'er walked to the Qingfeng Valley Patriarch Hall, while Ruyu went home the same way.

The two of them walked along the road to the mountain, and the two huge immortal boats got closer and closer, covering their heads, covering half of the sky. Two huge shadows were cast on the ground, and walking under the fairy boat, there was a sense of oppression.

Successfully entered the ancestral hall, and the two went to Xie Qingyun's residence. In the distance, I saw a woman in red standing on the grass outside the wooden building, it was Xie Qingyun. She was not in the building, but she stood with her hands in her hands, pacing back and forth on the grass in front of the wooden building.

As soon as the two approached, Xie Qingyun immediately looked over here. Seeing that it was Xu Huaigu and Liu Wan'er, she also stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Xu Huaigu, you're back." What, do you have anything to do with me? ”

Xu Huaigu replied: "It's for the Xianzhou." Have you negotiated everything, and when will you leave? ”

Xie Qingyun's expression was a little unnatural, and he said, "Not yet, I have to talk about it again tonight." ”

Xu Huaigu saw that she was pacing outside with nothing to do, and her expression was not right at the moment, so she faintly felt that something was wrong in her heart. He then asked, "Has the lord of the valley talked to the man in charge in the past two days?" ”

"We've talked twice, but there are still some things that haven't been discussed, so we can only discuss them again tonight."

Xu Huaigu said: "Then I'll listen to it tonight." Besides, I remember that there should be more than 600 people in Qingfeng Valley, not to mention that there are a lot of all kinds of treasures and classics, with those two immortal boats, I'm afraid I can't take them away in one trip, right? ”

Xie Qingyun nodded and said, "Indeed, you have to make two trips." ”

Xu Huaigu frowned, and secretly said in his heart how Wei Caiyi didn't even think of this. Now that the war in the south is tight, no matter how fast this fairy boat is, it will take more than ten days to go back and forth between Middle Earth and East Fuyaozhou, and it will take two round-trips, almost a month. That's too rushed, Xu Huaigu is not very satisfied with this.

"In that case, it is even more necessary to leave earlier, how can it be delayed?"

Xie Qingyun was a little embarrassed, smiled reluctantly, and said, "It's just that we are going to leave in these two days, and if it's a day or two, there must be nothing wrong." ”

Xu Huaigu saw that Xie Qingyun's expression was wrong, and he already had some guesses in his heart, but he was afraid that something was wrong with Xianzhou. Even if it is a deal he negotiated with Wei Caiyi, Wei Caiyi will not break his promise, but her subordinates may not be able to tell. Now Xie Qingyun is not in a dilemma for no reason, Qingfeng Valley is also a sword cultivator of the Nine Realms, according to Liu Wan'er, there are several monks of the Eight Realms and the Nine Realms on the Xianzhou alone, and she does not dare to contradict them. Xu Huaigu was a little worried in her heart, but she was afraid of losing her face, so it was inconvenient to ask Xie Qingyun more at this time, so she only waited until she saw the so-called Xianzhou steward at night before making a theory.

Most of them are taught by the above, and the people below do things hastily, or they want to make a profit from it. The same is true in the monks.

Xu Huaigu said coldly: "Then wait for the night, I will go with the valley master to see the steward, if there is anything to do, I have to let him leave quickly." ”

Xie Qingyun looked at Xu Huaigu, her brows stretched, and a complicated feeling rose in her heart, and she was mostly grateful. She glanced at Liu Wan'er again, and saw that Liu Wan'er also nodded to her, as if she had known everything for a long time, but she had never told her about the difficulties on this fairy boat, but she had keenly guessed. qqxδnew

These two children, Xie Qingyun sighed. I hope we can talk about it tonight, and the matter of moving the sect really can't be delayed any longer.

……

Xu Huaigu didn't go back to the bamboo building today, but waited quietly on Xie Qingyun's wooden building. It was nearly dusk, and after a few moments, it became darker and darker. When night closed, it was pitch black.

He looked out the window, it was already dark, and he thought to himself that it was almost time.

Xu Huaigu stood up, Xie Qingyun also got up, and said, "Let's go, go and see the steward, his place is not far from here." ”

Xu Huaigu asked lightly: "Since it's a serious matter, shouldn't it be in the council room?" What do you do to the place where he lives? ”

Xie Qingyun was speechless for a while, and explained: "The first two times were talked about with him. ”

Then ask the lord of the valley to send an elder to report to him and let him come to the council chamber. Tonight's matter must not be delayed any longer, and it must be negotiated at one time. ”

Xie Qingyun heard Xu Huaigu's tone, and knew that he was going to come hard tonight. Two days ago, I treated the visitors on the fairy boat with kind words, but I didn't get things done. Since he doesn't eat the soft ones, it's better to try the hard ones.

So Xie Qingyun nodded and agreed, and went to the ancestral hall to call an elder and asked him to pass the message. The two of them went into the council chamber and waited. Who knew that it had been more than an hour since the elder left, and two candles had burned out in the council hall, Xu Huaigu frowned and looked outside the council hall.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged fat man in a bright robe to walk into the council hall with a smile, presumably this was the steward. Xu Huaigu had been waiting impatiently for a long time, so naturally he didn't have a good face to show him.

The steward walked into the hall, and saw that in addition to Xie Qingyun, there was also a strange man in the hall, who was looking at him coldly, and secretly said in his heart No wonder this small sect in the poor countryside was so hard tonight, and asked him to go out to talk about things, it turned out that a newcomer came. Looking at this person's face, as if he was very dissatisfied with his delay for so long, the person in charge couldn't help but sneer twice, knowing that this was going to be hard for him. He has been in business for many years, and he has never seen any way? In addition to money, it is soft and hard not to eat.

Originally, these two immortal boats were carrying a batch of immortal medicines, preparing to sail from Middle-earth to Bai Zhizhou, but the night before leaving, they were suddenly appointed by Wei Caiyi, saying that they wanted them to come to Dongfu Yaozhou to pick up people, and she arranged for other people to go to those immortal medicines. Seeing the fat cha flying away under his nose like this, the steward's heart was also very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to disobey Wei Caiyi's order, so although he came to Dongfu Yaozhou, he was unwilling. Now that he has to receive a cold face from others, he can't help but feel even more useless in his heart, and he also wants to make things difficult for this person.

Even though he was unhappy in his heart, his face was still not revealed, with a slight smile, while slowly walking into the hall and sitting down, he said: "I'm really sorry for the two of you, I was tripped up by some trivial things before going out, so I came late." Forgive me, forgive me. ”

Xu Huaigu looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The steward patted his thigh, and said with a nose and eyes: "It's a letter from Bai Zhizhou, there is a batch of goods urging me to hurry over, and I have urged it several times in the past few days." I had no choice but to write a letter to explain the situation, so I delayed a bit. ”

Xu Huaigu smiled, noncommittal.

The two of them were silent, and Xie Qingyun said, "Since Steward Fan is here, let's start talking about business." Yesterday, Steward Fan said about the departure, and he can give an answer today, so he might as well talk about it. ”

The steward surnamed Fan suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, lowered his head and frowned and pondered for a while before he said, "I estimate that it will take as little as seven days and as much as ten years to set off." ”

How long is it going to take? Xu Huaigu's brows furrowed suddenly, and he looked at the steward surnamed Fan.

Xie Qingyun was also taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why does it take so long?" ”

Steward Fan also frowned, and said in embarrassment: "Lord Xie Gu doesn't know, this immortal boat sails far away, and it requires a lot of spiritual energy. There is a talisman formation in the fairy boat, which can gather the surrounding aura for navigation, but it is impossible to make ends meet, so you have to reserve a lot of aura in advance. We have sailed all the way from Middle-earth to here, and the aura on the immortal boat has long been spent, so it will take some time to replenish it. Otherwise, if there is an accident on the road, the gains outweigh the losses, and we can't help it. ”

"No, it's going to be too long, it's too late." Xie Qingyun frowned tightly, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is there any other way?" We just can't wait that long. ”

"There is a faster way, but it costs money." Steward Fan said, "In order to prevent accidents on the Xianzhou Road, there are a lot of spiritual energy talismans stored in the boat, as long as you use these talismans, you can start immediately." However, these talismans can't be spent casually, they are all the property of Falling Cloud City, and it costs money. ”

Hearing that it would cost money, Xu Huaigu couldn't help but sneer twice in his heart. It turned out that going around and talking about it was still about the money. He didn't believe it, since Xianzhou could sail so far, could he not prepare in advance? Now the fairy boat is parked at the gate of Qingfeng Valley, but he talks about the lack of aura, and he doesn't leave, and he just wants to make a fairy money in the middle. This is clearly bullying Qingfeng Valley and is in a hurry to leave, so they dare to be so fearless.

Xie Qingyun paused and asked, "How much does it cost?" ”

Steward Fan said lightly: "It's not much, just a thousand colored beads." ”

Hearing this number, Xu Huaigu's face suddenly turned cold, and Xie Qingyun also stopped silently.

There are more than 600 monks, about 20 elders, and nearly 600 disciples under Qingfeng Valley. The monthly payment of the elders of the Eight Realms is ten big beads, three big beads for the disciples of the Seven Realms, one big bead for the disciples of the Six Realms, and the monthly payment for the rest of the ordinary disciples is only ten small beads. One hundred small beads for one big bead, one hundred large beads for one colored bead, so calculated, the whole sect of Qingfeng Valley has less than fifty colored beads a year, and he asks for a thousand when he opens his mouth, which is really an open exit, this is to make Qingfeng Valley bankrupt.

Steward Fan also sighed and said, "But since this is a matter ordered by the city lord himself, I will give you a discount." Five hundred colored beads are really indispensable. ”

Xie Qingyun still closed his lips tightly and did not speak. Xu Huaigu suddenly sneered a few times, and everyone in the hall looked at him.

Steward Fan thought that he had made it difficult for the two of them, and he was very proud in his heart, and he was not annoyed at all, but smiled: "I don't know what this Taoist friend thinks is funny?" ”

"I'm thinking, how many of the Xianzhou stewards under the Lord of Wei City are surnamed Fan?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Steward Fan thinks so much about us, I must repair a letter to Lord Wei and explain to her that Steward Fan is dutiful. If Steward Fan can report his full name, then I will write it down well. ”

Na Fan was very unimpressed. After all, what kind of identity is Wei Caiyi, there are thousands of people who write to Luoyun City every day, and she has the time to read them? But just look at a few names and surnames. And the two people in front of him obviously don't belong to this list in the eyes of Steward Fan.

Xu Huaigu looked at Xie Qingyun and asked, "When does Lord Xie Gu think it's good to set off?" ”

Xie Qingyun said: "Naturally, the sooner the better." ”

Xu Huaigu said loudly: "Okay, then set off tomorrow." ”

Steward Fan smiled, shook his head and said, "Daoyou, this is deliberately embarrassing me, business is not like this, this matter is impossible." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of white light, and a flying sword broke through the air, and with a whoosh, it stopped at his heart. Xu Huaigu glared at him coldly, with murderous awe-inspiring in his eyes.

What a fast sword! I am also the Eight Realms, but I can't react in the slightest. Steward Fan swallowed his saliva, and also looked at Xu Huaigu, seeing that his eyes were so terrifying, a cold sweat suddenly oozed from his back.
