"Just a casual question."

Bai Xiu's face did not change and replied calmly.

Although he often thinks about whether to beat Gongsun Fu to death first.

But it is undeniable that no matter what happens, no matter how reluctant he is, Gongsun Fu will still be on his side in the end.

Gongsun Fu sighed, knowing that the young sect leader cared about his feelings and wanted to let him leave first.

He stood up and pretended to be relaxed: "Why did the atmosphere become so bad, you almost got it." ”

Bai Xiuping couldn't help but roll his eyes, and secretly said in his heart, who do you think made the atmosphere so embarrassing.

Gongsun Fu spread his hands and said that it was not a big deal at all, turned around and said: "The palace master of the Martial Punishment Palace, the person who ranks second in the Mingjiao sequence ranking book, is my father. ”

"But I'm just born as a concubine, and I have no talent at all, so naturally I won't be recognized by him."

This situation is not uncommon in Mingjiao.

There are not many wives and concubines of the powerful people in Mingjiao, and the concubines born to non-formal families will indeed not be taken seriously, let alone the cold-blooded and cruel Gongsun family.

But after Zhuang Qiuyun heard it, he still felt a little sad.

Even when her father was delirious before, she could feel her father's love for her.

The affection of relatives is enough to support her to live, but Gongsun Fu has never felt family affection, how pitiful it should be.

"Poor ....."

Zhuang Qiuyun lowered his head and muttered.

Gongsun Fu shook his head and retorted, "Although my father is like this, my brother has always regarded me as a sideline, and he used to not only teach me martial arts, but also take good care of me. ”

So Gongsun Fu doesn't feel pitiful, why is brotherly love not family affection?

......

Martial Arts Palace Annex.

The snow was white, and the snowflakes were piled up thick on the roof and ground.

"Big brother, it's so cold, can you stop practicing martial arts today?"

The young Gongsun Fu was so cold that he shivered, and Gongsun Yang did not soften his heart because of this: "When it comes to practicing martial arts, you must not slack off for a day, and the cold weather is not an excuse." ”

The two brothers stood in the snow, and Gongsun Yang guided Gongsun Fu with one move.

Even though Gongsun Fu's fingers were red and swollen from the cold, he didn't let him stop to rest.

But after Gongsun Fu practiced martial arts, the next person handed over the exquisite fur and said: "The hot soup has been prepared for you, just in the room, and the hot water for the bath is also boiled for you." ”

All this was prepared for him by Gongsun Yang's subordinates.

Otherwise, how could he be taken care of so meticulously.

.....

Bai Xiuping was even more strange when he heard this, since he was taught by Gongsun Yang himself, why was the martial arts of this product still so unpopular.

Gongsun Fu said helplessly: "My brother takes care of me so much, but I live a debauched and absurd life with the mainstream of the young religion all day long in places like Qinglou and casinos. ”

"It's only natural that my brother would be so disappointed in me, that's why I'm so indifferent now."

Bai Xiuping's face turned red when he said this, and his feelings were because of himself?

He coughed lightly in embarrassment, hoping that Gongsun Fu would not continue to speak, but he was really embarrassed to listen.

Gongsun Fu turned around indifferently and said to Bai Xiuping: "Having said that, although the Young Sect Master is still a ruffian hooligan now, he has been somewhat restrained compared to before, and it is much more normal. ”

"With the change of the young sect master, maybe the eldest brother will also change his opinion of me."

Zhuang Qiuyun pouted and retorted with some dissatisfaction: "The young sect leader is not a ruffian. ”

Bai Xiuping didn't pay attention to Gongsun Fu's follow-up words, but thought about the Martial Punishment Palace.

If he wants to ascend to the position of sect leader, the biggest enemy standing in his way is the Martial Punishment Palace.

Even if he successfully ascends the throne, it does not mean that the people of the Martial Punishment Palace will obey him, and if they join forces with other secret palaces to rebel, the trouble will be even greater.

When the time comes, let alone change the Ming Sect, the Ming Sect is estimated to be disbanded directly.

Gongsun Fu couldn't stop once he started talking, and saw that Bai Xiuping was looking through the information of the Martial Punishment Palace, thinking that he was interested in the Martial Punishment Palace.

Since this young sect leader came out of retreat, except for women, he has become even more crazy in other aspects, even if he now tells himself that he wants to go to the Martial Punishment Palace, Gongsun Fu will not be surprised.

What's more, the fact that the Martial Arts Palace helped the dart bureau of Jubao Palace to match and open up a lot of financial routes is something that almost everyone in the Ming Sect knows.

"It's a bit of a boast to say that, but my family has a wide range of friends just like me."

Gongsun Fu was still a little proud when he talked about this.

It's hard to say about the Central Plains, but the power of the Martial Arts Palace has already infiltrated outside the Saiwai, and it can be said that it is jumping around and jumping freely outside the Saiwai.

Although Bai Xiuping was a little impatient when he heard this, he still understood that since the Martial Arts Palace would help Jubao Palace, it meant that the two sides were in a gang.

One side has power and force, and the other has financial resources.

It is indeed not easy for the two sides to join forces, and to think of each other.

Bai Xiuping pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, you should go in this direction and investigate carefully to see if there is a way to alienate them, preferably a way to sow discord." ”

Since it is troublesome for the two sides to join forces, then take the two sides apart and solve them one by one.

Gongsun Fu nodded and agreed: "Okay, then let's take a little rest today and ..... after some adjustments."

Bai Xiuping directly ordered: "I said now, let's go now." ”

Gongsun Fu was dumbfounded, he finally rode such a long way, but he didn't even give him a break, and suddenly he was about to set off to investigate.

The horses they were riding were still resting, and how could this man be worse than an animal?

Zhuang Fangliang's father and daughter received the order, especially Zhuang Qiuyun saluted, and his little face was serious and serious, which was particularly interesting.

The two didn't wait for Gongsun Fu to say a few more words, so they directly set up Gongsun Fu and dragged him out.

Bai Xiuping stared at the information about Wei Yuanji on the desktop.

Although this person is the master of the Treasure Palace who is in charge of money, his cultivation is not weak, and his martial arts ranking in the Mingjiao ranking book has reached the twelfth place.

Nalan Jingzhi's evaluation of his martial arts is above the first-class, close to the transformation realm.

But his mind is not on martial arts, but he likes to chase profits, is good at arithmetic, and has achieved something in business.

Therefore, after his martial arts became first-class, he began to neglect his cultivation and gradually fell into disuse, and his martial arts may not be as good as before.

The reason why when discussing the goal with Nalan Jingzhi at the beginning, both of them thought that among the Seven Secret Palaces, the first targets to visit were the Treasure Palace and the Tongyin Palace.

This is not only because of their intelligence capabilities, but also because if they want to recruit troops, recruit talent, group activities, money and means of transporting goods are all indispensable elements.

Now there are only a few of them in Yangming Palace, which is naturally fine, but if you want to increase your power, these are necessary.

In the Martial Arts Alliance, in addition to the many sects, there are also literary factions, as well as various money banks, dart bureaus and merchant groups.

Not only that, but there are also restaurants and inns along the way, which have a close relationship with each other.

But in Mingjiao, all the resources are in the hands of the Jubao Palace and the Tongyin Palace.

This also led to the fact that although Bai Xiuping was nominally a young sect leader, he had nothing but this identity.

Wei Yuanji supported the Martial Arts Palace Master, who was most likely to become the next sect leader, and at the same time wanted to get close to Bai Xiuping, so he naturally had other plans.

What else does a Jubao Palace, with money and resources in hand, want?

It is nothing more than power, the power to listen to the government.

Supporting the Martial Punishment Palace seems to be the safest decision, but it is actually the least profitable deal.

It was also a helpless move for the Treasure Palace to join forces with the Martial Arts Palace, but no one expected that the young sect master would suddenly end his retreat.

Although the Treasure Palace intends to negotiate with itself, the problem now is that not to mention the power to listen to the government, Bai Xiuping does not even intend to give anything.

From the start, the deal was untenable.

Even if you deal with the Treasure Palace and use various methods to temporarily deceive the Treasure Palace, you can get a lot of resources in the short term, but it is not a long-term solution after all.

The only way is for the Treasure Palace to support itself, and if you want to do this, you have to leave the Treasure Palace completely isolated.

"T-"

A young man pushed open the door and reported to Bai Xiu: "Meet the Young Sect Master, down there is Du Wentao, the Palace Master has already dealt with the matter in hand." ”

"The palace master hopes to meet you, and I have been sent to invite you to go, I wonder if it is convenient for you now?"

The man in front of him looks heroic and young, which is completely different from the image of a decadent uncle in Fangcai.

Bai Xiuping squinted at him and said with a playful smile: "I changed people in such a short time, is it rejuvenation?" Isn't it summer? ”

"Why is this face completely different from what I saw yesterday?"
