In the afternoon, outside the study of Yuan's mansion, Yuan Ting, who was full of anxiety, paced back and forth in the courtyard, sometimes looking at the closed door, and sometimes looking around the courtyard.

"Ting'er!"

Suddenly, a call rang out from outside the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, Yuan Xiao slowly walked into the courtyard accompanied by two disciples.

"Dad, you're finally here!"

As soon as he saw Yuan Xiao, Yuan Ting's face was overjoyed, and he rushed to the front with an arrow step, grabbed Yuan Xiao's arm without saying anything, and walked towards the study with his feet raised.

"Be steady, what's the system in a hurry?"

"The Deputy Sect Master and the eldest lady have been waiting for you for a long time, how can the child not be in a hurry?" Yuan Ting explained as he walked, "Before Daddy, Uncle Yan and Uncle Lei had already come one after another, and the children heard them talking and laughing in the room, so it was expected that they and the Deputy Sect Master had untied their hearts and turned enemies into friends. ”

"Don't talk nonsense! What do you mean by 'turning enemies into friends'? Your Uncle Yan and Uncle Lei have never regarded the Deputy Sect Master as enemies, and they only had some misunderstandings before. Yuan Xiaoxu corrected him with a deliberate mind, so that his mind changed, and he said, "Did you hear what they were talking about?"

"It's nothing more than some greetings, what 'be careful in everything' and 'don't be in a hurry'. Yuan Ting recalled, "Other than that, there was nothing special. By the way, Uncle Yan and Uncle Lei both sent someone to carry back their boxes before leaving. ”

"Box?" Yuan Xiao frowned, and subconsciously stopped, "What box?"

"Those were the boxes that had been placed in the nave in the morning. Yuan Ting replied, "There are account books, land deeds, silver tickets, and ...... inside."

"All carried away?" Yuan Xiao's eyes changed and he said in disbelief, "The deputy sect master and the eldest lady didn't leave a box?"

"I didn't have a box left!" Yuan Ting said firmly, "I kept counting, Uncle Yan thirteen boxes, Uncle Lei twelve boxes." ”

"This ......"

"Dad, you go in first, don't let the deputy sect master and the eldest lady wait for a long time. ”

"It's good!"

"Bang, bang!"

"Come in!"

"Squeak!"

There was a soft sound, and the door was left and right. Yuan Xiao quickly tidied up his clothes, and then walked into the study with his head held high.

Yuan Ting wanted to close the door from the outside, but unexpectedly, Liu Xunyi's voice sounded again: "Yuan Ting, you can come in too!"

"I've seen the deputy sect master!

"Master Yuan, we have words first, and there is no need to be polite when there are no outsiders. ”

Liu Xunyi stepped forward very enthusiastically, pulled Yuan Xiao, who was in a hurry, to the table and sat down, and at the same time waved lightly to Yuan Ting, who was looking left and right, signaling him to take it easy.

"Lift it up!"

Under Xun Qin's order, Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun Budao quickly lifted the fifteen boxes stacked in the corner to the front one after another, and opened them in turn in front of Yuan Xiao's father and son.

"Deputy Sect Master, this is ......"

"Lord Yuan, these are all things from the Yuan Mansion. I bother you to check it carefully to see if there are any mistakes, omissions or missing. ”

"This ...... What does this mean?" Yuan Xiao pretended to be confused, deliberately showing a dazed look of not knowing what to do.

"Master Yuan Helm, don't misunderstand, I don't have any other intentions, I just want to return to Zhao. Liu Xunyiyun smiled lightly, "If there is no objection, Master Yuan can send someone to carry them back later." ”

"Shhh

I thought it was "meat buns beating dogs and never going back", but unexpectedly, Liu Xunyi was unmoved in the face of Jinshan Yinshan.

Although Yuan Xiao already knew the result before entering the door, he was still surprised when he personally appreciated Liu Xunyi's "generosity".

"What is the Deputy Sect Master doing?"

At this moment, in the face of the gold and silver treasures of "morning thoughts", Yuan Xiao not only did not show the slightest joy, but did not even raise his eyelids. It seemed that what was in front of him was not boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, but boxes of broken copper and iron. Fire extinguished

"What's wrong with returning things to their rightful owners?"

"This ......" Yuan Xiao looked closely at Liu Xunyi, who was solemn, and then looked at Xun Qin, who was expressionless, and said suspiciously, "The deputy sect master can know that if all these things are sold, their value will ...... It's enough to buy half of Shenzhou City?"

"So what?" Liu Xunyi raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't understand Yuan Xiao's words.

"You're so willing...... Give it back to Yuan?"

"These things are originally yours, why should I be reluctant?" Facing the cautious Yuan Xiao, Liu Xunyi couldn't cry or laugh a little, "Yuan Duo took the trouble to save money and used the hard work he had accumulated, how dare he covet it?"

"But ......"

"This is a mistake!" Before Yuan Xiao's words could be spoken, Xun Qin suddenly interjected, "These are not his efforts, but the efforts of King Shaoqin." Nowadays, the four mansions in Shangjing have been assigned to the Xilu Wuzong, and every brick, tile, grass and tree here is owned by the Xilu Wuzong. ”

As for this, Xun Qin cast a meaningful gaze on the thoughtful Yuan Xiao, and asked faintly: "Dare to ask Master Yuan Helm, is what I said reasonable?"

"Reasonable! Reasonable!" Xun Qin's words made Yuan Xiao's heart tighten, and he quickly nodded in agreement, "These things don't belong to Yuan at all, they only belong to King Shaoqin from beginning to end." In the past, Yuan only kept it on his behalf. Now, the Yuan Sect has been incorporated into the Xilu Wuzong, these things ...... Naturally, it is under the control of the deputy sect master, how dare Yuan covet it? What's more, Yuan was confused and made a big mistake for a while, but fortunately, the deputy sect master was lenient and benevolent......

"Huh!" Liu Xunyi waved his hand impatiently, "There is no need to mention the past! Since Xun Qin and Yuan Duo both think that these things should be in my hands, then...... How about I give them to Yuan Men as the capital for Yuan Helm to enter the Central Plains?"

"This ......"

"If it is 'returned' to the Yuan family, this matter is not appropriate. But if it is 'given' to Yuan Men, it is reasonable. Xun Qin muttered, "As the deputy sect master, you can't let the Yuan Sect go up and down the Central Plains to starve. ”

"It's what it's about!" Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin sang and sang each other, "There are more than 1,000 disciples of the Yuan Sect, and it is bound to cost a lot of money in the Central Plains, where they are not familiar with the place where they lived. Therefore, Yuan Duo urgently needs this 'entanglement' on the road. ”

"Deputy Sect Master, Eldest Miss!"

Seeing Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin helping him in a different way, Yuan Xiao couldn't help but be moved, suddenly got up, and bowed respectfully to the two: "You don't care about the past suspicions, you are kind to Yuan. The Yuan family has nothing to repay, only to do their best and die!"

"Yuan Duo's words are serious!" Liu Xunyi hurriedly put down the teacup and stepped forward to hold up Yuan Xiao, thus changing the conversation, "Actually, I still have one more thing I want to discuss with you today." ”

"What?"

"Xun Qin has told me your plan, Yuan, Yan, Hong, and Lei went to Wudang, Qinfu, Teng, and Xianwang Mansion respectively to wait for the times to change, waiting for the opportunity to move. I thought it was feasible, but it was just ...... I wronged you to temporarily hide your identity and send people under the fence. Especially Lord Yuan, it is not easy to go to Wudang to deceive Qingfeng's trust. Qingfeng is loyal on the outside, but treacherous on the inside, he can even kill his own fast son-in-law, let alone outsiders...... Lord Yuan Helm must be cautious. In case of danger, it is better to retreat than to fight with your life. ”

"Liu Daxia is worthy of being Liu Daxia, he is really kind-hearted!" Looking at the sincere Liu Xunyi, Yuan Xiao let out a heartfelt sigh, "Deputy Sect Master, rest assured, Yuan knows the measure, and he will definitely not startle the snake." ”

"The situation in martial arts is ever-changing, and the rivers and lakes are sinister and unpredictable. Therefore, this entry ...... The four helmsmen must go into battle in person, and the deeds of the others are far from enough. Mentioning this, Liu Xunyi's tone was very helpless, but before Yuan Xiao showed his loyalty, he added for no reason, "But not enough Taoism does not mean that it is useless, there are many young people who can be good at writing and martial arts, and are resourceful in the four prefectures of Shangjing, eager to try, hoping that they will have the opportunity to get experience, and in time they can become a hero like Yuan Helm." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Xiao, who heard a hint of strangeness, quickly flashed countless thoughts in his heart. While secretly speculating about Liu Xunyi and Xun Qin's intentions, he pretended to be ignorant and answered: "What the deputy sect master said is extremely true, there are indeed many young people with full potential in the four mansions of Shangjing. Over the years, Yan Shun, Hong Si, and Lei Zhen and I have been silently observing and cultivating carefully to avoid a situation of lack of succession, and we can't drag down King Qin's hind legs because there is no successor. ”

Liu Xunyi replied with a smile: "The four helmsmen are far-sighted, and they are admired! It's just that the overall situation in the Northeast has been decided, and no one can shake the status of the four mansions in Shangjing, plus the four of you are personally in charge, I am afraid that the young disciples under your command will ...... Can't find much opportunity to grind. After all, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and their life is also smooth. ”

"This ......" Yuan Xiao was stunned for a moment and hesitated, "What does the deputy sect master mean ......"

"Lord Lei Helm once said that once the four mansions in Shangjing enter the customs, there will be no turning back. I understand his concerns, but I disagree with him. In my opinion, the Central Plains should be contested, but the Northeast ...... Nor can it be discarded. Liu Xunyi looked solemn and said righteously, "Therefore, it is very important to find a capable person to help you protect your family business." After the four of them enter the customs, the situation in the Northeast is bound to be turbulent, and the gang forces that have been pressed down by you all these years will definitely jump out to make trouble. Take the opportunity to recruit troops, grab territory, climb the elite, squeeze your head and compete for the top, hoping that you can become a new generation of 'Shangjing Sifu' and preside over the overall situation of the Northeast. ”

"The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and a new generation replaces the old. Vice-Sect Master...... I am extremely worried!" It seemed that Liu Xunyi was poked in the soft underbelly, Yuan Xiao couldn't help but look melancholy, and sighed, "Our brothers are wearing stars and moons in the Northeast, and they have died for a lifetime, and it is not easy to open up today's situation." Now, let's ditch everything here and start over with our family. Speak from the heart...... Yuan was indeed a little reluctant. ”

"That's why I let you keep three horses. Xun Qin said unhurriedly, "Liu Xunyi and I discussed it repeatedly, and agreed that after you left, the four prefectures in Beijing could no longer go their own way, and they must advance and retreat together, so that it is possible to keep your family business in the northeast." ”

"Miss Mingjian!"

Therefore, it is imperative to select a loyal and capable person to be ordered to stay in the northeast to preside over the overall situation. Seeing Yuan Xiao's clear attitude, Liu Xunyi no longer hesitated, and said the key in one sentence, "I wonder if Master Yuan has a suitable candidate?"

"This ......" Yuan Xiao frowned, and stopped talking, "What do the deputy sect master and eldest lady mean ......"

"Let's be straightforward! I have a candidate, and I dare to ask Lord Yuan Duo to consider it. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Xiao secretly said in his heart, "Sure enough", but on the surface, he remained silent, pretending to be surprised, "I don't know where it is sacred, and it can enter the eyes of the deputy sect master and the eldest lady?"

"This person is far away, close at hand. ”

"The eldest lady is talking about ......"

"Ling Gongzi, Yuan Ting!"
