Chapter 44: Darkness Under the Light (5) Dark Crossing

The next day, when Xia Qianfang woke up, there was a knock on the door, who wanted to take him to see the sect master of the He family, he shook Xia Lin Xia Yu awake, and after freshening up, he went out.

Every time he came, it was the middle of the night, and he hadn't seen the He family's mansion yet. It's probably similar to the Xia family, but because it's close to the grassland, the fence is slightly higher, and the house design also has the characteristics of this side, but the area is not as large as the Xia family.

Xia Qian was also familiar with this road, and quietly stepped on the black roof tiles of its roof twice, maybe there were still his uninvited footprints on it.

The three of them followed the monk through the corridors and courtyards to the innermost part. As they passed the courtyard of the second south, a shout and curse stopped them.

Xia Qian looked into the courtyard, although he didn't really see it, he could understand it a rough idea. Why should he teach his little son without repentance?

I saw He Shen silently kneeling in the ancestral hall drunk, and his head had not woken up little by little. He Wuregret became angry when he saw his dejected appearance, and scolded: "He is silent! Look at you, you still look like a monk of the He family! I don't allow you to go out, you dare to sneak away, do you take me seriously?" ”

He Shen silently frowned and smacked his lips. Wearing a single coat on his body, it was still a little cold when the breeze blew, so he tightened the placket of his shirt and tucked his hands into his sleeves. "If you have something to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush. If you're not happy, don't you just smack me up, and you haven't done anything more than that. ”

He has no regrets and has no words to say, and his two nostrils are constantly breathing. "You, you, don't you have to be angry with me to death?" he roared.

He Shensheng stood up from the futon, "If you don't have anything else, I'll go back to the house." I didn't sleep well this night, I had to get some sleep. ”

As soon as he left a few steps, he was imprisoned, and he snorted coldly: "The father made seven killing formations to his own son, and it is the first time in the world that I have heard of it." Find someone who writes a book and put it in the playbook. It will surely become a good show that will be passed down through the ages. ”

As soon as He Wuregret heard this, his momentum weakened again, and guilt appeared in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. "I know you're still haunted by that. But...... But when I was a father, there was really no way to do it at that time. As a father, I really don't want to live in the days to come, you and I will live in complaining. ”

He was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay, if you can return my mother to me." ”

He Wuregret caressed his old face, with endless pain in his regret, which made people look pitiful. He finally unraveled the Seven Kills Array, and let He Shen leave without doing anything.

"When is it a head, when is it a head? He touched the corner of the table and sighed.

Xia Qian saw He Shen come out in silence and immediately walked around. The monk who led the way had urged him several times. He followed the monk and asked tentatively, "Elder He doesn't seem to have a very good relationship with his son. ”

The monk's face sank, and a noncommittal "hmm" came out of his throat.

Xia Qian saw that he was embarrassed and explained: "That's the case, we encountered some trouble when we first arrived in Qujiang, it was Elder He's son, and Young Master He came to help, so we thought if we could help him and repay him for his help." ”

The little friar hesitated, "Actually, I don't know. I only know that Young Master He's mother died three years ago, and Young Master He's temperament has changed greatly since then. The rest, I don't know. ”

Xia Qian nodded and did not continue to ask.

The three of them walked for a while and came to the dawn of the night building. For the He family, a sect master's house is too simple. It is a low six-sided two-story area, and it does not occupy a large area, but the yard is very large, and there are many trees planted, and almost every corner of the flower blooms throughout the year.

Xia Qian has only been on the throne for a few months, and he has been punished by the Ren family, which is the first time he has taken the initiative to deal with other families. He didn't look stunned, he was quite calm.

He waited at the door, which was inside the threshold, not outside. His position is really intriguing, since he wants to welcome it, he will stand outside the door with sincerity. But if he is rude, he does have the door open and stands straight at the door.

Interesting, Xia Qian chuckled. He came to the door of the night tower two feet in front of the building, and stopped moving. Xia Lin stopped, and Xia Yu was still walking forward in a daze, but fortunately Xia Lin pulled him, otherwise he would have hit the back of the little monk's head.

Xia Qian didn't wait for He Wuzhi to speak, so he saluted him from afar, forcing him to come out. "Sect Master He is good. ”

He moved his eyebrows unnoticedly, stepped out of the threshold, and saluted him: "The head of the Xia family came from afar, and he lost the far mark, please forgive me." ”

Xia Qian's appropriate smile rose again: "Sect Master He, what did you say, didn't you come close to greet me." ”

He Wuxian made a gesture of please and invited him into the building. He sat down on the main seat, Xia Qian sat on the guest seat, and the other two sat next to him.

"Who are these two?" asked He Wuxuan.

Xia Qian replied, "They are the ones who travel with me and are responsible for keeping me safe. ”

He Wuxian bowed slightly, and looked at the two of them with concern. Xia Qian saw his thoughts, so he ordered the two of them to go out and wait.

There are only two of them left in the building, a quiet and glued atmosphere.

He Wu complained: "I don't know if the Xia family master has come all the way, but is there anything important?"

Xia Qian smiled, picked up the tea bowl, wiped the hot air wafting out and took a sip. The tea swallowed into his throat, and the warmth made his eyebrows stretch.

"A small bowl of tea is more than just a thirst quenching. He said this meaningfully, and also glanced at He Wuzhi meaningfully.

He Wuxian said curiously: "Sect Master Xia is high, and he listens to him. ”

Xia Qian smiled heartily: "Don't dare, don't dare." Sect Master He may not know much about me. Before I ascended the throne, I was in the market, but my adoptive father was a poor drinker, and if the wine was strong, it would not fade for a long time, so he called me to go to the teahouse to buy tea to relieve my hangover. When I waited for a long time, I heard those tea addicts talking and chatting, and they talked about such a kind of tea. He picked up the teacup and shook the tea in it, and continued: "This tea is called Rizhao green tea, which is produced in the north and is produced in spring, summer and autumn. This tea is characterized by bright yellow-green soup, mellow aftertaste, thick leaves, and high aroma. But your bowl of tea, the soup is dull and the aroma is short, and it has been stored for at least half a year. The last time the Four Seas Meeting was held was a month ago. ”

"Yes," He said.

Xia Qian continued: "Rizhao is located on the bank of the Yellow River and is the business line of Anjia. Naturally, the green tea there is also owned by Anjia. Your tea was sent by An's family?"

"Yes. ”

Xia Qian smiled and said: "The autumn tea picking has just ended, and the Four Seas Meeting will be held in Cangzhou in the north. As the host, Anjia will naturally send tea as a gift. But your tea is still from half a year ago. Anjia new tea is in hand, but it is not delivered. ”

"So what?" asked He Wuqing, still unfazed on his face.

Xia Qian snapped the lid shut, and he looked at He Wuxian with sharp eyes: "I dare to guess if you have some contradictions with the An family." ”

A trace of vigilance flashed in He Wuxian's eyes, but his face still sank into the water.

Xia Qian continued: "I guess the approximate contradiction is in the purchase and sale of the Huai River. The He family and the An family happen to be on this line, and the profits are not easy to share. ”

He Wuxian was really surprised that the young man in front of him, who was only a teenager, had such a subtle observation, and he knew the situation in the Central Plains, which was really extraordinary.

He didn't hide it anymore, and generously explained: "You are right, the Four Seas Meeting a month ago was indeed held for the benefit of the Huai River. ”

Xia Qian said: "Whether a sect can grow or not depends not only on force, but also on economic strength. That's why I'm here to do business with you. ”

"What business?" asked Ho Wuxian.

Xia Qian replied: "The Xia family is vast and near the sea, and it is not a problem to walk the road or the boat. As long as there is a heart to operate, the Xia family will recover the momentum of the year just around the corner. Therefore, I want to use the inland business line of Xiajia Tongxi to get the support of the He family. ”

"You used an entire inland line just to exchange for the support of the He family. This business is too fat, and it makes people suspicious. He said without complaint.

Xia Qian said with a smile: "Of course, all the He family's business on this line must be divided into thirty percent for me." City tariffs, naturally, will help you exempt. Now that the He family and the An family are in the same boat, this line can not only help the He family solve their urgent needs, but also make a lot of profits in the long run. Sect Master He wants to agree?"

He Wu's grinning smile gradually rose, he had been worried about this matter for many days, Xia Gan's arrival was nothing more than to bring him the best solution, but once he agreed, then the He family and the Xia family would automatically form an alliance, that is, they would form an opposition to the other three families, and he would really not be able to make such a big decision for a while. He didn't give an answer immediately, he only said that he would think about it carefully and sent Xia Qian out.

Xia Qian calmly walked out of the courtyard, but saw Xia Lin and the two monks of the He family fighting with each other.

The monk of the He family spoke rampantly and sarcastically, and he didn't know how to restrain himself when he saw Xia Qian come out. "It's just a down-and-out dog, why should we let the sect master go out to greet him. I still think that I am the first Xia family in the world. Phew, it's just our men's defeats. ”

He clearly said this to the three Xia families. Xia Lin has always been unfazed, and he couldn't hold his breath when he heard them insulting his own sect like this, but he was pulled away by Xia Gan when he wanted to talk back.

The three of them returned, Xia Yu didn't say it for the time being, he had lost his spirit. Xia Lin walked unsteadily anymore, and he was still a high-spirited age.

"What's so angry, what do they say is the truth, isn't it?" Xia Qian said.

"You!" Xia Lin was even more angry when he heard this.

Xia Qian comforted: "I know you are unwilling, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves." Now that the Xia family is indeed in decline, there is no reason for people to treat us politely, and we can't ask others to do the same. Only by seeing your own position can you see the road under your feet, and only then can you go down. ”

Xia Lin obeyed him, and had nothing to say, so he had to sigh deeply and angrily.

"Don't sigh, you saved this breath for me. Go up the mountain in the afternoon to learn from them, but don't show mercy to my men. Dare to look down on Lao Tzu, see that Lao Tzu doesn't kill you. He smirked.

In the end, it's still the age of being willful.
