Chapter 269: Bilateral Negotiations

The little maid also smiled and took Leng Yun to the back, and Leng Yun smiled and saluted again, and then followed the little maid to the back. And this side also continued to chat, Fang Xiao also smiled at Qingsong and said, "Qingsong Daoist, let's leave today?"

"Yes, none of the disciples under this sect have become successful. I also have to go back early, so that I can give an explanation to the senior brother in charge. Qingsong also sat upright and sighed and said.

"That's a bit against your will. Fang Xiao also said with a smile.

"Young Master Fang, don't laugh at the old way. This Hanzi Dai is said to be my Wudang genius in the past ten years, but isn't it in your hands?" Qingsong also looked at Fang Xiao and said.

Fang Xiao also smiled and waved his hand and said, "Daoist Qingsong, we are also friends. If I have something to say, I'll just say it. ”

Qing Song heard Fang Xiao say this, and after putting down the teacup, he said: "Think about it, this Hanzi Dai is not right, if he really steals the throne of your faction, I am afraid that the word Wudang will become famous in this land." ”

Fang Gongzi's words were a bit alarmist. Qingsong also took another sip of tea and said, "Although this Hanzi Dai is not doing well, I may not be able to make some achievements if I discipline Wudang." ”

"Qingsong Daozheng knows the outcome of this matter better than me in his heart, if you have to deceive yourself, that kid can't help it. Fang Xiao also drank tea and said with a chuckle, "I think Qingping Zhenren also retreated in the confrontation with my six doors this time." ”

Qing Song also blushed and said, "Young Master Fang, this matter has little to do with my senior brother in charge, he is actually not very enthusiastic about these things. ”

And Fang Xiao waved his hand and said: "This is not the key point I want to say, but Qingsong Daoist, you and Qingping Zhenren should already understand that playing with power is not what you Wudang is good at." Fang Xiao's sentence was also very bold, and Qingsong also looked at Fang Liangping on the side, but saw that he was also drinking tea as usual, as if this father and son usually communicate like this. Before Qingsong came back to his senses, Fang Xiao also continued: "So in the past few years, I think Wudang has developed with peace of mind, and then I can go to the capital every year to pray for the emperor." ”

"Young Master Fang, you're thinking a little far, it's not that you don't know the status of the imperial court in the hearts of the rivers and lakes. Qingsong also smiled this time and said.

"But I think Qingsong Daochang also saw the emperor's determination this time, if it weren't for Qingping Zhenren to see clearly, you Wudang would have become the first chicken. Fang Xiao also said to Daoist Qingsong.

Qing Song also knew that Fang Xiao's words were at least half right, but he still had to insist. So Qingsong also said: "There are so many gangs in the rivers and lakes, and they will still be angry with the enemy in the face of such a colorful tiger, after all, they still understand the truth of cold lips and teeth." ”

"Hahaha. Fang Xiao also laughed.

"Why is Fang Gongzi laughing? Qing Song also asked at Fang Xiao.

I laughed and said I could barely hold on. Fang Xiao also continued, "I'm afraid that Daoist Qingsong himself won't believe it." First of all, how can the gangs of their own battalions compare to the soldiers who are united? And don't forget the red-coated cannon you used to threaten you. Of course, the gangs that Wudang has always befriended are still very likely to support you, but have you ever thought that if the imperial court allows the public benefits and divides the relationship between those gangs, how many allies will Wudang have at that time?"

"Hey, why does the imperial court like martial arts so much?" said Daoist Qingsong after also sighing.

And Fang Liangping, who hadn't spoken much at this time, also said with a smile: "Dao Chang is wrong, it's not that the imperial court wants to deal with martial arts, but that martial arts make the imperial court feel threatened." In fact, this idea was already in place when the emperor first ascended the throne, but at that time, internal and external troubles were far less reassuring than now. ”

"Heh, that place has been taken back?" Qingsong also said with a sneer.

Fang Liangping also knew what place Qing Song was talking about, because there were many people in the rivers and lakes buried in that place. "Come on, our emperor is not a conservative emperor. Fang Liangping also said with a smile.

"Then I am saying this, after all, half of Jianghu's antipathy to the imperial court is because of that incident. Qing Song also said indifferently.

"I understand, but I wouldn't support such a stupid act. Fang Xiao also thought about it and said.

"How do you kid know again? Fang Liangping also glanced at Fang Xiao and said.

"I saw it in the database of six doors in Hangzhou. Fang Xiao also smiled and said.

Fang Liangping also ignored Fang Xiao anymore and said to Qing Song: "But to go out, it is necessary to ensure an internal stability. ”

"I know, thank you Lord Fang for your advice. Qing Song also arched his hand at Fang Liangping and said.

"Kiyomatsu Daoist, I suggest you do this as soon as possible. Fang Xiao also chuckled and said, "Now that you are moving closer to the imperial court, the other gangs will only be the price after your defeat this time, and they will not have other ideas, and they will think that you are leaving the big family of martial arts in the future." ”

"Fang Gongzi, this is considered to be a no-miss, which really makes Lao Dao admire. Qing Song also sighed, "If you are my Wudang disciple, why worry about this Wudang and no successor." ”

"Isn't Daoist Qingsong optimistic about Leng Yun?" Fang Xiao also smiled and broke the thoughts in Qingsong's heart.

"This kid's skills are a little bit worse. Qingsong also said with a smile.

"As long as the heart is right, this kung fu will go up sooner or later, don't you see that I also have such an adventure. Fang Xiao also said with a chuckle. But Qing Song also knew Fang Xiao's identity, and said with a smile: "Your story makes me feel a little emotional. ”

"Okay, Xiao'er, you said so much, I think Qingsong Daoist will naturally have an idea in his heart. Fang Liangping also said at the right time. Then he also sent Fang Xiao to play with Leng Yun in the back. And Fang Liangping also chatted with Qingsong again, which also made Qingsong feel suddenly enlightened. And over there, Leng Yun was also chatting with Yi Jinglan briefly, and there was nothing that changed, and secondly, Leng Yun asked Yi Jinglan if he was willing to go to Wudang with him, but Yi Jinglan also told him with a reason that he was unwilling to change, so the two sisters and brothers also simply chatted about some interesting things. So in Fang Xiao's yard, there was no one to disturb them. When Fang Xiao came over, Leng Yun was also about to say goodbye, so Leng Yun asked him to take care of his sister. This kind of trivial matter Fang Xiao naturally agreed, and Yi Jinglan also smiled and comforted Leng Yun, who was a little unhappy, and asked him to do well in Wudang. And Leng Yun also made an appointment to come to see her next time and walked out. And Yi Jinglan also seemed to be evacuated, "Don't you go out to send it off?" Fang Xiao also asked.

"No need, I'm afraid I'll be even sadder if I send it. Yi Jinglan also said with a smile.

"He's your only spiritual pillar now. Fang Xiao also said with a chuckle. "Otherwise, I can't use you as my spiritual support. Yi Jinglan also looked at Fang Xiao and said with a smile.

"Don't, I'm cowardly. Fang Xiao also smiled and took a few steps back.

"You're really boring. Yi Jinglan also looked at Fang Xiao with her waist in her back.

"Well, it doesn't matter if I'm a person or not. Fang Xiao also continued to smile and said, "The important thing is what you do, your brother is already gone, and Lu Jiyu must not be able to go back, otherwise the end will definitely be death." ”

"Young Master Fang, do you seem to care about my life and death?" Yi Jinglan also said with a smile.

"It's not that I care about your life or death, it's that I need to be responsible for my commitments. Fang Xiao also said with a chuckle.

"You're such an interesting person. Yi Jinglan also looked at Fang Xiao and said, "Miss Qi's promise, but you have nothing to do with Miss Qi, it's really interesting, it makes me have a little interest in you as a person." ”

"It doesn't matter what I have to do with Miss Qi. Fang Xiao also said angrily and funny, "I just promised her to take care of you, so I'll take care of it." ”

"But I'm not Miss Qi's either. Yi Jinglan also said directly, "But I'm still happy to be taken care of by you." Saying that, he also gave Fang Xiao a wink, and Fang Xiao also secretly said in his heart: "This fox on the Qinhuai River." ’

"I guess you're saying that I'm bringing disaster to the country and the people. Yi Jinglan also looked at Fang Xiao's eyes and said.

"You see, that's so confident. Fang Xiao also smiled at Yi Jinglan.

"If you don't have confidence, you won't be able to get up if you are stepped on. Yi Jinglan also walked up to Fang Xiao and put her hand on Fang Xiao's shoulder and said. "Brother, mom let you. Fang Yongning's words were only halfway out, and he took them back, turned around and said, "I didn't see anything." ”

"Come back, what it looks like. Fang Xiao also spoke.

"That's it, it's like you've seen less of this kind of scene on the Qinhuai River. Yi Jinglan also smiled and said to Fang Yongning.

When Fang Yongning heard this, she also turned to Yi Jinglan and said, "Sister Yi, it's not good for you to have different hearts." ”

"What are you talking about?" Yi Jinglan also said with some dissatisfaction, "I'm just happy, just hitching a ride on your brother." ”

"Sister Yi, this incense has also moved away, you don't want to live in my yard. Fang Yongning also looked at Qi Siyao and said.

"What's the matter? You master and servant are still lonely. Yi Jinglan also said with a smile.

"No, I'm afraid that if you and my brother accidentally get pregnant out of wedlock, that's not good. Fang Yongning also said with a smile.

"You Nizi. Yi Jinglan also blushed and wanted to hit Fang Yongning. And Fang Xiao shook his head and stopped the two of them and said, "You guys are a little more restrained, what is Yongning's mother looking for me?"

"Oh, Mom is going to ask when you're leaving. Fang Yongning also stopped and said to Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao also frowned and said, "It's strange, when will my mother urge me to leave." ”

"No, it was last time that my father and mother seemed to be sending us to Beijing. Fang Yongning also replied.

"But don't be in such a hurry. Fang Xiao also looked at Fang Yongning and said. "Brother, you really don't know what Mom thinks?" Fang Yongning also looked at Fang Xiao and said.

"What's wrong?" Fang Xiao really didn't understand at all, but also said.

"Mom, I actually want you to stay away from Qi Siyao. Fang Yongning also sighed and said. And Fang Xiao scratched her head and said, "Mom, this time it's a bit of a fuss, I have nothing to do with Qi Siyao in the first place." And there was only one white eye in response, and Fang Yongning continued: "Brother, why can't you make sense of such a smart person." You and Qi Siyao are close to each other is a tool in the hands of those people, even if there is nothing between you that is really clean, but will people believe it? Do you think everyone is more willing to believe in a story of two gentlemen's friends, or do you like to listen to a love story between the daughter of the pavilion master and the head catcher of the six doors? Not to mention that the Zhao family and Su Buqing are still involved outside. Fang Xiao also felt a buzzing buzz in his head when he heard this, he was a person who firmly believed that he was not afraid of shadows, but today's incident also made him feel a headache.

"Fang Gongzi finally figured it out?" Yi Jinglan also said with a smile at this time.

"Don't bother my brother about things, there will be a place for you to fill the house in the future. Fang Yongning also said with a smile. Fang Xiao also sat on the stone bench and thought for a long time and said: "It seems that I really want to enter Beijing early, but I still owe Qi Siyao three wishes, she and I are not as simple as my mother thought, and we can break it if we say it." ”

"At least I can avoid a lot of turmoil, and when Qi Siyao gets married, such news will be meaningless. Fang Yongning also analyzed.

"You don't like Miss Qi so much?" Yi Jinglan was also surprised by Fang Yongning's attitude towards Qi Siyao. "Let me tell you this, Sister Yi For Qi Siyao, as a woman, I admire her for working hard for herself, but as a younger sister, I don't want to see a woman who can bring disaster to my brother. "It's not her fault. Fang Xiao also looked at Fang Yongning and said.

"Brother, but she knows what kind of problems this will cause you, and you still have a marriage contract, do you say that she is hurting you. Fang Yongning also said to Fang Xiao.

"But it's none of her business, she's just a girl with a lot of burdens. Fang Xiao also said slowly. "Brother, are you helping her to justify, am I carrying less than her? Sister Yi is carrying less than her?" Fang Yongning also said to Fang Xiao with a puzzled expression, "I don't know what you are thinking? What is good about this Qi Siyao." ”

But Fang Xiao only said lightly: "At least you have escaped now." "Yes, Bi Yongxin has become Fang Yongning, who no longer has to look at other people's colors and makes a living by laughing. And Yi Jinglan doesn't have to worry about the affairs of her younger brother and Lu Jiyu, she can simply live for herself. But what about Qi Siyao? She still tried hard to get rid of her fate, but she was still trapped in it and could not move.

Fang Yongning also sighed and said: "Forget it, brother, this is your own business, I believe you can handle it, and after speaking, you will also walk out." Looking at Fang Yongning's back, Yi Jinglan also stood beside Fang Xiao and said, "If Leng Yun finds a woman who can ruin his reputation, I'm afraid I'll be even more radical than Yongning's reaction." ”

"Aren't you quite supportive of Miss Qi?" Fang Xiao also asked with a smile.

"It's just a different position. Yi Jinglan also said with a smile, "As a woman, I hope you can have a good ending with her." After finishing speaking, Yi Jinglan also chased Fang Yongning out. Fang Xiao shook his head and went to the main hall. Over there, Qing Song and Leng Yun were also chatting with Fang Liangping, got up and smiled, and said, "In this way, Lord Fang, the two of us will leave." ”

"Daoist Qingsong, you really didn't remember the kid, didn't you say goodbye to me?" Fang Xiao also said with a smile as he walked out. Daoist Qingsong also arched his hand at Fang Xiao and said, "It's not easy for me to meet Master Fang once with Leng Yun, as for you Gongzi Fang, I think we will definitely meet again soon." ”

"In this way, the kid is waiting to meet Dao Chang and Brother Leng Yun again. Fang Xiao also saluted and said.

"Okay, so the old way will say goodbye to Leng Yun. You don't have to send it. After saying that, he shook off the dust and walked out of this place with cold clouds. And Fang Xiao looked at Fang Liangping and asked, "How is Dad?"

"Naturally, everything is going well, a suppressed gang is naturally eager to rise up again, and it has been looked down upon by Wulin, so it is not very difficult to get closer to the court directly, and this Taoist family is already loved by dignitaries and dignitaries in my Ming Dynasty, so naturally it will be easy to complete what we asked Wudang to do." Fang Liangping also said with a smile.

And Wudang's move is a betrayal in the eyes of other gangs, and they may not care about it because of Wudang's heavy losses this time. But this alliance has been torn open by us from the core of the eight major factions. Fang Xiao also continued, "This will cause Wudang to continue to move closer to us, and at the same time, it will also give other gangs an example to follow the court to have meat to eat." Dad, you're still amazing. ”

"It's pretty simple. Fang Liangping also said with a smile, "If only the people in this court were as good at talking as people in the martial arts." ”

"Well, Dad, you didn't see a knife when you didn't agree with each other. This is much more frightening than those in the court who can only scold their mothers. Fang Xiao also said with a chuckle.

"You dare to come and joke with your father and me recently?" Fang Liangping also patted Fang Xiao and wanted to go inside. But I saw a little guy also walking in and shouted: "Young man, there is a catcher at the door, saying that Master Liu Yutian asked you to go back immediately." ”

"Okay, I got it. Tell the catcher, I already know. Let him go back to his life first. Fang Xiao also spoke. The little guy also nodded and ran out.

"What's the matter?" Fang Liangping also looked at Fang Xiao and asked.

"I don't know. Fang Xiao also said with a sneer, "But it should be a matter for the Zhao family and the Heavenly Sword Sect to make Uncle Liu so anxious to find me back." ”

"Then you can go quickly, don't let Liu Yutian wait for a long time. Fang Liangping also touched his beard and said.

And Fang Xiao also said: "Yes, I'll leave immediately." After saying that, he simply sorted out his belongings and set foot on the road back to the six doors.

At this time, Liu Yutian, who had six doors, also pointed to the map excitedly and said, "If Fang Xiao can rush back, the situation in Nanjing will be so stable this time." ”

"Okay, you've said this old Liu Tou many times. Mu Liu also stood aside and said.

"Nonsense, you're embarrassed to speak, if it weren't for your poor skills, would I have called Fang Xiao over? Liu Yutian also pointed at Mu Liu's nose angrily and scolded. ”

"Is that too much? I don't think the teacher wants you to do what you say. Mu Liu also looked at Liu Yutian and said, "You are arranging the teacher again." ”

"Nonsense, Fang Liangping is of course a respectable person in front of you juniors, and he was an old child when he was with us. Liu Yutian also opened his mouth and said that if Fang Xiao heard this, he would definitely agree. And Mu Liu was also scolded for doing something wrong and ignoring Liu Yutian, what he should do and what he should do.

And after a while, Fang Xiao finally rushed back to the six doors, and immediately walked to the study after handing over the horse to the door, because he knew that Liu Yutian's office was usually in his own study, not the hall specially reserved for him. Mu Liu was also sharp-eyed, and when Fang Xiao walked in, he also shouted to the door: "Old Liu, Fang Xiao has arrived." “

"What? Fang Xiao is here. Liu Yutian also walked out excitedly. "Uncle Liu, I'm here. Fang Xiao also saluted and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

We talked as we walked. Saying that, Liu Yutian also shouted at the Mu Liu, "Let's go, hurry up and move for me." The three of them also rode to the south of the city. Fang Xiao also turned over and got on the horse again with tears and laughter.

On the way, Liu Yutian also smiled and said, "Good news, Fang Xiao." This Zhao family and Tianjianmen are not looking at the lives of the Cao Gang as human beings, so now the Cao Gang is almost gone, and both sides are also a lot more cautious, so they are just testing today and have not acted more excessively. ”

"So Uncle Liu, you came forward to make peace for them?" Fang Xiao also asked.

"It's not me, it's you. Liu Yutian also looked at Fang Xiao and said, "It's okay for you to let me fight, and I can make a living by solving the case." But I'm not enough to play tricks with those guys. ”

"And me, what are you thinking? Mu Liu also looked at Liu Yutian and said, "This time, I will let you see that our brain is better than yours." And what he treated was a slap on the head.

Liu Yutian also said to Mu Liu: "You have to show it until next time, this time it will determine whether we can temporarily settle down in Nanjing, you all follow Fang Xiao's steps, and you are not allowed to play any tricks." ”

"Yes, yes, I know what to do. Mu Liu also nodded desperately and said. "That's right. Liu Yutian also turned around to look at Fang Xiao and said, "Everything depends on you, I want you to ensure our interests to the greatest extent under the condition of ensuring the stability of Nanjing." Fang Xiao also nodded vigorously. And what is Xu Xiang doing at this moment? He was facing Zhao Zhengfei and Li Changsheng in a restaurant.

"I said Xu family boy, why don't you six doors follow the rules? I've been waiting for almost half an hour. He, Liu Yutian, can't be so awesome if he is on the list. Old man, I'm also on the list, why didn't I delay time?" Li Changsheng also glanced at Xu Xiang and said.

In this regard, Xu Xiang smiled slightly and said: "We are always busy with business, so naturally we can't compare to you so much free." This was also a mockery of Li Changsheng, but Li Changsheng was not good at attacking, after all, Xu Xiang's words were not pointed at his nose and scolded, and he also provoked this matter first, and the most important thing was that he was still waiting for Liu Yutian to come and relieve the incident for the two families, so he also snorted coldly and stopped talking. And Zhao Zhengfei is Brother Xu, and Brother Xu chatted lively. And finally, Liu Yutian and the three of them finally walked into this restaurant. In this room, there are also Xu Xiang, Zhao Zhengfei and Li Changsheng. There are still these two empty chairs, Xu Xiang was about to give up this main seat to Liu Yutian, but saw that Liu Yutian also directly sent Fang Xiao to the main seat.

"Liu Zhutou, what do you mean by this?" Li Changsheng also looked at this scene and said coldly.

"Fang Xiao is in charge of this mediation, and I am just here to accompany me. Liu Yutian also said with a chuckle, while Fang Xiao smiled at Li Changsheng, causing his hairs to stand on end. "No, I don't agree, this kid has an old grudge against me. Li Changsheng also said to Liu Yutian. And Liu Yutian spread his hands helplessly, while Fang Xiao played with the cup and said, "Elder Li, it's not something you said casually that I am a master of the earth list. You don't need my mediation, but I dare to say that, you can go out now, but you will be besieged by the Zhao family and the Six Doors immediately, you don't have to question the truth of my words, because I can do it. ”

"Are you threatening me?" Li Changsheng also looked at Fang Xiao and said.

"That's right, that's the threat. Fang Xiao also chuckled and said, "Elder Li, I don't think you will give me an excuse to kill you." And Ye Dushen and I have a good relationship, so much so that they told me that you bought Sancho Zhi's life. ”

"This is nonsense. Li Changsheng also shouted at Fang Xiao with a flushed face, "This is fabricating the facts, the night is dark, these bastards, I said why did he want me to participate in the competition for this Cao Gang, it turned out that he was waiting for me here." ”

"It doesn't matter, if I were willing to cooperate with Nightshade and leave your dead bones gone. However, Liu Yutian thinks that you are still useful, so I can sit here and talk to you now. Fang Xiao also chuckled and said, "I think you will make a right decision now." Li Changsheng also sat down in his seat with a dejected face, because he finally figured out why Ye Shen gave him such a good piece of meat, and this meat had now become a knife in Fang Xiao's hand, and he didn't doubt that Fang Xiao would kill him at all. He didn't dare to bet on whether Fang Xiao, Liu Yutian and Ye Shen could kill themselves. Oh, by the way, and the kid of the Zhao family who is sitting opposite him now, if he really gets what Fang Xiao said, then this kid will definitely come up without hesitation to make up for the two knives that they have suffered in the Cao Gang incident.

"Brother Fang. Zhao Zhengfei also said with a smile at Fang Xiao.

"Brother Zhao, but today we are on business, after all, it is fair and just for our six doors to coordinate the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Fang Xiao also said to Zhao Zhengfei.

"Yes, so there is Brother Laofang. Zhao Zhengfei also said to Fang Xiao.

"Okay, so I'd better listen to the demands of both sides first. Fang Xiao also smiled at Li Changsheng and Zhao Zhengfei and said.

"Our Zhao family doesn't ask for so much, but the brothers of the Heavenly Sword Sect can't drive us away like this. Zhao Zhengfei also said with a smile, "This Cao Gang that we have already absorbed, the Heavenly Sword Sect can't give us murderous intentions." First of all, the Heavenly Sword Sect withdrew from the Cao Gang, and then compensated us. ”

"Zhao family boy, don't go too far. Li Changsheng also came back to his senses and said to Zhao Zhengfei, "First, what you lost is only some disciples of the Cao Gang, why do you want us to compensate, and this Cao Gang was bought by us from the Sang family, and the jade pendant of the head of the Cao Gang is in our hands, do you think this is a bit upside down." ”

"Then Elder Li, what do you think you should do? Fang Xiao also said to Li Changsheng with a smile.

Li Changsheng also felt that Fang Xiao's expression was a little infiltrating, but he still said with a smile: "My requirements are not high, if I want Tianjianmen to quit the Cao Gang, it is okay, first, give us 20,000 taels of the money we bought the Cao Gang, and at the same time, we want seventy percent of the profits of the Cao Gang." ”

"Li Changsheng, are you crazy, you Tianjian Sect is so popular, do you think you control the Cao Gang? Zhao Zhengfei also spoke.

"That's right, ask for a price all over the sky, and bargain on the ground. Fang Xiao also smiled and said, "Actually, Elder Li, you are not a loss, that is, you have wasted some time, and the disciples of this Cao Gang are much less than the hands you took over." "Li Changsheng also scolded secretly: 'This bastard boy, he said it on purpose. Sure enough, Zhao Zhengfei also smiled and said: "Elder Li, yes, 20,000 taels is the price of the entire Cao Gang, I think this Cao Gang is afraid that half of the original is gone, I don't pay half of it, and we can afford 10,000 taels." ”

"In this way, I will also take a step back, fifty percent of the profit plus fifteen thousand taels. Li Changsheng also said majestically.

"Elder Li is so calculating, it's a little difficult to exchange these five thousand taels for this fifty percent profit. Zhao Zhengfei also said with a smile.

"My Heavenly Sword Sect can protect the Cao Gang, and we won't take this fifty percent of the profits in vain. Li Changsheng also spoke.

"My Zhao family can still protect their fleet. Zhao Zhengfei also smiled and said, "One percent plus ten thousand taels." In fact, Zhao Zhengfei had already completed the task, but seeing that Fang Xiao seemed to be on his side, he also said with a smile.

"I can't accept this, at least thirty percent of the profit, fifteen thousand taels. Li Changsheng also spoke.
