11. The proud Great Elder

As soon as Qin Xian's words came out, a glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the Great Elder, he helped Tang Xiao so much before, because he took a fancy to Tang Xiao's courage and resourcefulness, and wanted to cultivate Tang Xiao as a subordinate, and when the time came, he would assist his grandson Li Yunyuan, so that Li Yunyuan could sit firmly in the position of the helper.

He originally thought that he would help Tang Xiao a few more times, and then lure Tang Xiao, it was estimated that there was a chance that he would succeed, but what he didn't expect was that he hadn't done anything yet, Tang Xiao himself sent it to the door first.

Even Lu Shi, who had been expressionless, had a glimmer of essence in his eyes, this Tang Xiao was not simple, he had seen things so thoroughly, he knew what the Great Elder wanted, so he came by himself, so that everyone could save trouble, and everyone would get what they wanted.

Therefore, the Great Elder was naturally overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Since Tang Xiao said so, then I am not unfamiliar, you go back and tell Tang Xiao that if you have any trouble in the future, you can come to me." ”

Qin Xian saluted respectfully and thanked him, but did not leave.

"Is there anything else you have to do?" the Great Elder asked when he saw that Qin Xian hadn't left yet.

Qin Xian took out a silver ticket of 100,000 taels from his right sleeve and handed it to the Great Elder.

"What does this mean?" The Great Elder was slightly stunned, what does this Tang Xiao mean? There are actually 100,000 taels of silver?

Although Qin Xian didn't understand what Tang Xiao meant, he still spoke: "It's such a great elder, these silvers were obtained by Boss Tang after copying the Li family, and this 100,000 taels of silver was given to you by Boss Tang, after he said that this silver was given to you, you will understand." ”

Qin Xian killed Boss Li against Tang Xiao, and then Tang Xiao sent him to copy the Li family's affairs and told him in detail.

After speaking, a somewhat inexplicable look flashed in the Great Elder's eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand, you can go back." ”

"Yes!" Qin Xian was a little confused, things really came according to what Tang Xiao said, the Great Elder let him go after saying that he understood, and he didn't look angry at all.

As soon as Qin Xian left, there were only two people left in the room, the Great Elder and Lu Shi.

Putting away the 100,000 taels of silver tickets, the Great Elder said, "Lu Shi, what do you think of this Tang Xiao?"

Lu Shi said in a deep voice: "Ruthless and scheming, this person is a little too smart, he can guess your thoughts, but he didn't play tricks on his cleverness, but knows how to advance and retreat, which is really amazing."

However, if you want to use this person, Great Elder, I am afraid that it will be difficult to cultivate him as a confidant, and no one can control this kind of person, unless he is killed. ”

After listening to Lu Shi's evaluation, the corner of the Great Elder's mouth tugged at a smile: "It's impossible to kill, what I want is a person who guards the country for Yunyuan, not a dead person."

As for his scheming and ruthlessness, in my opinion, it is not necessarily a bad thing, but a good thing, what I want to find is a capable person to help Yunyuan, not a waste person, I think this Tang Xiao is quite suitable.

And there is such a thing as a henchman, do you think there are real henchmen in this world? People are all thoughtful, not puppets, as long as there are enough benefits, I am not afraid that he will not help me. ”

Seeing the Great Elder say this, Lu Shi had to nod and didn't say anything, the Great Elder said that there are no real henchmen in the world, so what is he? His gaze became a little cold.

When Qin Xian returned to Anguifang, it was almost dark, and Tang Xiao had made an altar of wine, a roast chicken, two bowls of noodles, and was eating.

"Boss, my subordinates are back. Qin Xian saluted Tang Xiao, who was eating.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, sit down and eat together, this bowl of noodles is what I bought for you, made by a small restaurant nearby, and it tastes good. Tang Xiao said while nibbling on chicken legs.

"Yes. Qin Xian didn't dislike it, but just sat opposite Tang Xiao a little stiffly and took a bite of noodles.

After eating for a while, Qin Xian really couldn't help it, so he asked, "Boss, why did you ask me to give the Great Elder the 100,000 taels of silver?" And the Great Elder also said that he knew, what the hell is going on with this matter, his subordinates are stupid, and they really can't figure it out. ”

He thought about this all the way, but he didn't understand it, Tang Xiao didn't make it clear, and the Great Elder also let him leave for some reason, and he didn't dare not leave.

"Hehe, you're not such a stupid person, why can't you think about such a little thing clearly?" Tang Xiao smiled, took out two bowls, and said with a smile: "Pour wine." ”

Qin Xian poured two bowls of wine and said with a bitter face: "Boss, don't embarrass me, I really haven't figured it out." ”

Tang Xiao drank a bowl of wine before he said, "Let me ask you, what are we most worried about when we copied the Li family?"

"Naturally, it's six doors. Qin Xian said: "But what does this matter have to do with the six doors?"

"Then let me ask you again, are the people who are in contact with the Six Gates or the official mansion, is it the people of the Great Elder who are better to talk or are we better to speak?"

"Naturally, the Great Elder, the Great Elder's connections and status for decades are definitely much stronger than ours. Qin Xian still didn't have a clue.

"Then what should we do if we don't let the people from the Six Gates and the Imperial Court interfere?" Tang Xiao continued to eat noodles.

"The most effective and easiest way is to spend money on dots, ah, boss, you are letting ......" Qin Xian seemed to think of something.

"That's right, it's easier for the Great Elder to come forward than us and easier for us to do, so I'll let you tell the Great Elder about our source of money, and the Great Elder will naturally help us with this 100,000 taels. Tang Xiao said.

"But boss, you don't need 100,000 taels of silver to make a point, right?" Qin Xian asked, 100,000 taels of silver is a lot, even if it is the imperial court and the six gates, they don't have such a big appetite, right?

"One hundred thousand taels is naturally too much, but if we don't give more, how can the Great Elder help us with things, do you think the Great Elder is so kind? This money is not the same as the previous 150,000 taels, one yard is one yard. Tang Xiao ate the last bite of roast chicken and wiped the oil on his hands.

"But boss, the people of the Six Doors are notoriously selfless, this is not a trivial matter, can it be done?" Qin Xian was still a little worried, he had also witnessed the people of the Six Doors at the beginning, and he was still deeply afraid.

Tang Xiao replied: "Although the people of the Six Doors are iron-faced and selfless, the people of the imperial court and the people of the Six Doors cannot be confused, although they all belong to the same Jin Kingdom in one place, but the two are completely different.

There are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the imperial court, and they naturally remember the benefits when they give money, and although the people of the Six Doors do not eat this set, they are in retreat all year round, and the news is also told to them by the people of the imperial court.

Our money is mainly to buy off all the people in the imperial court, as long as the news doesn't reach the six doors, then what are we afraid of?"

Tang Xiao thought very clearly about this, he had been in Anguifang for more than ten years, and he had been in Qingyun Sect for many years, and he didn't say that he knew everything about the situation in Ying Tianfu, but he also knew most of it.

Moreover, Tang Xiao has been to most places in person, and he knows the general situation very well, and this court and the six gates are the rulers here, that is, the objects of his attention.

Including the personality and background of the Great Elder and others, he almost knew about it, so he guessed when the Great Elder helped him that the Great Elder wanted him to give the Great Elder's waste grandson Li Yunyuan a hand.

It is said that this Li Yunyuan is also a talent, and he is said to be a gentleman, but he can still manage a fang market in an orderly manner, saying that he is not a gentleman, and he often goes to the Qinglou Casino, and often spends thousands of taels of silver at every turn.

Therefore, the gang also has different attitudes towards this Li Yunyuan, of course, most of them still support it.

First, because he is the grandson of the Great Elder, he has a prominent status, and his ability to do things is indeed one of the best, so he has nothing to choose.

The second is that although he is stubborn, his strength is really strong, he is the only one who has cultivated internal strength in the Qingyun Sect and has touched the threshold of the Qi Condensation Realm.

This is a very remarkable achievement, although many big leaders are at this level, but they are the result of decades of cultivation, and Li Yunyuan has reached this level after ten years of martial arts training, which is indeed rare in the entire Ying Tianfu.

In addition, the gang leader Chen Zhongshan has no heirs, so the position of the next gang leader is basically Li Yunyuan sitting firmly, one is the identity of the grandson of the great elder, and the other is the most outstanding young man in the gang, and the position of the gang leader should be given to him.

But in the end, most of this Li Yunyuan still relies on the connections and prestige of the Great Elder, and now the Great Elder is more than sixty years old, even if he has cultivated his internal strength, he will not have a few years to live, if there is no Great Elder, then Li Yunyuan is afraid that it will be difficult to support alone.

After all, as Li Yunyuan's grandfather, the Great Elder watched him grow up, and knew that Li Yunyuan had that kind of sloppy atmosphere, even if he had the ability, it would be a bad thing after all, and it would be harmful to him to sit firmly in the position of the helper.

In this place of Yingtianfu, although the gang seems to be majestic, the six doors on it, it is really easy to destroy them, and this bit of territory is also a small place after all, a gang and a few markets, it is really extinguished.

In the experience of the Great Elder for decades, he had seen many forces that reached their Qingyun Sect or even surpassed their Qingyun Sect being destroyed, and he was worried that Li Yunyuan would also end up like this, compared to Chen Zhongshan, Li Yunyuan was far inferior in terms of skill and style.

That's why the Great Elder cultivated Lu Shi, Lu Shi is a talented person, his heart is quite deep, there is ink in his stomach, and it is more than enough to give advice, but unfortunately Lu Shi doesn't know martial arts, and even a random gang can't beat it.

Moreover, Lu Shi often played some small tricks behind his back, causing the Great Elder to be completely at ease with him, and wanted to find someone who could check and balance Lu Shi, so that the two of them could restrain each other, and at the same time support Li Yunyuan, the gang leader.

But this Ying Tianfu is a barbarian land, not many people have read books, and even fewer are scheming, especially if you want to find someone who has scheming and courage, it is really difficult.

Just when the Great Elder was a little worried, Tang Xiao's appearance made him feel an unexpected joy, with Tang Xiao's ruthless skills and cautious scheming, he was definitely the perfect talent in his heart.

That's why he chose to help Tang Xiao, wanting to pull him to his side, serve Li Yunyuan, balance Lu Shi and assist him.

But he didn't expect that before he could speak, Tang Xiao sent it to the door by himself, which made the Great Elder very happy, and he was also proud, just saying that his sword was not old, and under a plan, Tang Xiao would surrender himself effortlessly.
