Chapter 56: What I want is not a rebellion!
"Head of the house!"
In the original unknown mansion, the same study, the mysterious Mr. Shang was holding a book in his hand and pondering carefully, so much so that his shadow guard appeared behind him and called him, and he ignored it.
It wasn't until I finished reading the page of the book that I turned to, and then carefully wrote my thoughts and notes with a brush, that I closed the book.
"Here we are. ”
He gently put the brush back on the pen rest, and spoke in a flat tone.
"Yes. ”
The Shadow Guard, as ever, had stood behind him since he appeared.
"The time has come, tonight, you accompany me to meet the two of you. ”
As he spoke, he rubbed his temples with his hands, probably because he would get a little tired after reading for a long time.
"Yes, I don't know who the head of the family is going to meet?"
The shadow guard behind him asked cautiously.
"Hehuan Sect Hua Xueji and Idealistic Sect Liu Huikou. ”
Hearing what Mr. Shang said, the shadow guard nodded after some thought, but then showed a little bit of a desire to speak.
"Hua Xueji had better send it, it is enough to allow her to be a famous and authentic title from the imperial court, and no matter how bad it is, it is to compensate some silver taels and land for the purpose of building the sect, and what about Liu Huikou?
Mr. Shang saw that the shadow guard wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't pay attention to it, but analyzed it on his own.
"The head of the family, this authentic title is easy to say, it has no practical significance, it is not a trivial matter to canonize the prince and add a share of Lu, and besides, the prince can choose a fief, when the time comes, in case...... Isn't that too much to pay......!"
It stands to reason that he shouldn't have said these things as a bodyguard, but considering the changes in the situation in the future, he had to say this.
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Mr. Shang cautiously, for fear that he would anger him because of this somewhat transgressive remark. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Mr. Shang poured into him, which made him so frightened.
Fortunately, Mr. Shang not only did not blame, but explained to him.
"If he can really help us achieve great things, why not give him a prince in name only, besides, although the promise is a hereditary throne, but we can't find a reason to get it back after ten or twenty years? At that time, the Idealism Sect was only qualified to be our lackey, if we dared to disobey, we would destroy him!"
"It's still the head of the family who thinks long-term. ”
After listening to Mr. Shang's explanation, the shadow guard was full of convincing, he only saw the second layer of the matter, and Mr. Shang had already reached the fifth layer.
"It's still early, go down and wait for me!"
"Yes. ”
The shadow guard disappeared into the room after saying that, and Mr. Shang chose to close his eyes and take a nap, and soon a slight snoring sound was heard.
When the manpower was exhausted, since the major sects entered Beijing, the hard work and thinking of the days made this Mr. Shang feel physically and mentally exhausted.
......
At night, the business in Huimenglou is still booming, and the most important thing in the capital is the beautiful women with good figures and the rich people who have a lot of money in their pockets and nowhere to spend.
And Mu Xian'er, who is known as the best in the whole capital, is in this dream building, and there are countless people who come to the dream building to spend a lot of money.
Tonight, it was two masked men who won the favor of the fairy girl with a lot of money, and the price was 5,000 taels, and someone immediately mentioned 10,000 taels when they raised the price!
In this scene, the other wealthy businessmen and gentry who were drinking and having fun in the Huimenglou had to say a sigh of relief together!
When she entered the room, Mu Xian'er had just set up the guqin and was about to play, but she was stopped by one of the two masked men.
"I have heard for a long time that Miss Xian'er has excellent piano skills, and I should have appreciated it carefully tonight, but there are some important things, I have to discuss with your master, and I am bothered that Miss Xian'er invites the sect master of your sect to come out and see it. ”
It was Mr. Shang and his shadow guard who came to Huimenglou in the dark night, and he deliberately chose this way to meet.
The first is to avoid arousing suspicion, it is not only businessmen who like this fairy girl's piano skills in Beijing, but also high-ranking officials and nobles, just like the crown prince Chu Wushuang.
However, if those high-ranking officials and nobles dared to openly enter the Qinglou, by the next day, they would be impeached by those pretentious imperial historians and disgraced.
Therefore, they all have the habit of masking when they come, which makes the masks of the two of them seem less abrupt.
Then there is a small amount of money of 10,000 taels to explore the way, as a meeting gift.
"Do you know that the sect master is my master?"
You must know that in this capital, no one knows that she is Hua Xueji's apprentice, even if some people guess it, they can't come up with evidence, but this person has penetrated her origin, which makes her feel very surprised.
"Hehehe! If Shang Mou still had some doubts before, but now, didn't the fairy girl admit it herself?"
Mr. Shang didn't want to dwell on this for too long, and it would be difficult if she noticed something, so he casually made an excuse and pretended that it was his guess.
"What is the matter with you coming to my master!"
Mu Xian'er also knew that there were some questions that could not be delved into, but some questions that must be known, such as the purpose of his coming here.
"If you want to see Sect Master Hua, the main thing is that there is a business to discuss, which is beneficial to both you and me, but for specific things, you have to trouble the girl to invite your master out to say. ”
Mu Xian'er first looked at him with doubts for a while, but Mr. Shang didn't explain anything, just let her watch.
Then, she looked at the other masked man behind him, and made sure that he was not simple before speaking.
"Please wait a moment, I will go and ask my master to come out. ”
"I'm tired. ”
Mr. Shang's tone was still flat.
......
"Master, there is a person who wants to see you, saying that he has a business to discuss, what kind of business is it, and he said that he will not say until he meets you. ”
In Hua Xueji's special secret room, in the battle of the demons, she contributed a lot, but the injury was not light, and she was still exercising her breath at this time, but she was interrupted by Mu Xian'er who came in.
"Want to do business with me? Do you know who he is? I won't do it if the business is small. ”
As before, the charm in Hua Xueji's words has not diminished at all.
"Back to the master, the man was masked, and he didn't know his specific identity, but the guard who accompanied him was not simple. ”
What Mu Xian'er said made Hua Xueji interested in this so-called business.
"So, I'm a little hopeful! Let's go meet him!"
......
"Two distinguished guests came to visit my Hehuan Sect, and they were not welcomed, so please atone for your sins!"
Hua Xueji hadn't stepped into the house yet, but the scene had already begun to speak.
"Hahaha, Sect Master Hua has a lot of opportunities, that idlers like us have nothing to do all day long!"
"I heard that your guest has a business to cooperate with me, and now that I have arrived, you might as well come and hear about it?"
In the face of Mr. Shang's compliments, Hua Xueji did not continue to go around, but chose to go straight to the point.
"I'm ashamed to say that the specific layout plan can't be explained to the Flower Sect Master, but the Flower Sect Master only needs to know that we want to borrow your sect's force. ”
When the main lord came, even Mr. Shang didn't dare to be as casual as he faced Mu Xian'er, no matter the tone or the way he spoke, he became serious.
"Your guest's words are not interesting, even if I do ordinary business, I have to inspect the goods a priori, you are insincere. ”
Hua Xueji poured herself a cup of tea and held it up with her hand, but she was not in a hurry to drink it.
"Hehehe! Sect Master Hua's words are not false, but the manifestation of sincerity does not necessarily have to look at the goods! Sect Master Hua only needs to know that we can give you what you want most. ”
At this time, Mr. Shang completely turned into a businessman, and he was bargaining with Hua Xueji one bite at a time.
"Tell me, what do I want most?"
This time, Hua Xueji took a sip of tea and looked relaxed.
"Actually, the main thing of the Flower Sect is very simple, get rid of the title of the Demon Gate of the Hehuan Sect, and then there is, to self-govern a city like other righteous sects and have a mountain gate of their own. ”
After listening to Mr. Shang's words, Hua Xueji's hand holding the teacup suddenly tightened, and she almost crushed the cup.
"How can I trust you to give me these things?"
She struggled to keep her composure, then spoke.
"Sect Master Hua can not believe in Shang, but he can't not believe in 'us'!"
"You! There are people behind you! Moreover, you are from the court!"
"Hehehe!"
Mr. Shang didn't speak, just smiled slightly, and he neither admitted nor denied what Hua Xueji said.
"Who the hell are you!?"
A hint of fierceness flashed in Hua Xueji's eyes.
"Now my identity is inconvenient to tell the Flower Sect Master, when the time comes, I will be honest with each other, and whether this business can be successful or not is also in the hands of the Flower Sect Master, the opportunity is rare, it depends on whether your sect is willing to fight." ”
This time, it was Mr. Nashang who calmed down, took a cup and poured himself a cup of tea and tasted it.
But Hua Xueji fell into thinking, and in the next time, the two of them drank tea quietly and pondered.
At this point, what should be said is finished, and there is no need to bother more.
"Since Sect Master Hua can't make up his mind for a while, then think about it slowly, and when the time comes, just send the news to the Tailong cloth shop in the west of the city. ”
waited until Mr. Shang finished drinking three cups of tea, Hua Xueji's face was still cloudy, and there was no way, so she had to choose to leave first.
If he waits any longer, Hua Xueji will see through his psychology that he is in urgent need of help, so that even if she agrees in the end, she will ask for more things.
And now the time to leave is just right, which not only shows that he is patient enough, but also shows that he is not very short of her helper now.
"What Mr. Shang said, I will consider it carefully, once I have made up my mind, I will pass on the news, this matter still needs to be discussed with some elders of my sect, I will not send Mr. Shang away. ”
"It's okay, Shang said goodbye. ”
After saying that, he left with the shadow guard without showing the slightest strangeness.
And Hua Xueji kept watching his back until he disappeared downstairs, and then sat back in his chair and continued to think.
......
"Master of the family, what is the probability that Hua Xueji will promise us?"
After returning to the Dream Building, the shadow guard had a chance to speak, and Mr. Shang smiled confidently at the question raised by the shadow guard.
"Ten percent!"
Without waiting for the shadow guard to speak, he continued.
"People's greed is the most terrible, after I told the benefits to Hua Xueji, she will miss the benefits more and more when she thinks about the problem next, and the risk of doing things will be unconsciously reduced by her, unless she refuses at the beginning, or, she can only promise us!"
After listening to Mr. Shang's words, the desire that Ying Wei had before stopped and reappeared on his face.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, don't hide it. ”
This time, Mr. Shang did not pretend to turn a blind eye again.
"Family Master, in fact, I think the best partner should be the Demon Sect!"
Suddenly, Mr. Shang stopped, turned his head to stare at the shadow guard for a long time, and unexpectedly, he raised his hand and slapped the shadow guard.
The slap was very heavy, and the shadow guard didn't dare to dodge, fortunately it was covered with his face, otherwise, there would definitely be a red palm print on the shadow guard's face.
"Remember, what I want is just to find a way out for the family and leave a stable place for my children and grandchildren, not to rebel!"
"Yes, the head of the house!
The shadow guard buried his head low, but the gentleman Shang stopped in place, his eyes flashing with memory.
"This country, but how many old brothers did we die to fight it down at the beginning!"
