Chapter 19: Winning or Losing Tonight
In this fundraising, the wealthy businessmen in Jiangdu can be said to have hemorrhage, and their flesh hurts and their hearts ache, and afterwards they said that there was no resentment, it was a lie, they did not dare to resent Xiao Bai, the king of Qi, so they transferred their resentment to Xu Beiyou.

If you hadn't taken the lead in donating a million taels of silver, we would have donated so much? You were selling in front of His Royal Highness King Qi to curry favor, and we didn't catch anything! If you don't complain, who else can you blame?
Most of these wealthy businessmen have a lot of power, and they dare not embarrass Xu Beiyou on the surface, but they dare to move some small hands and feet behind their backs, if they are placed in normal times, they don't dare to use their hands and feet, and they can only swallow their teeth in their stomachs, but at this time, Xu Beiyou has just taken over the power, and the foundation is not stable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an internal and external trouble, which gives them an opportunity to take advantage of.
How many years have been inside and outside Jiangdu City, and there are many people who have climbed to the sky here step by step, and there are also many people who have fallen into the sand, and there are many big people. Far from it, when Emperor Houjian went south to the Central Plains, he stopped at the Jiangdu City, and in the near future, Murong Xuanyin, the leader of the Xuanjiao Sect, had already been defeated twice in Jiangdu.
Not to mention that the Southern Ghost Emperor died directly in Jiangdu, or how deep the water in Jiangdu City was, if he was not careful, he would drown.
At present, the Jiangdu is full of resentment and undercurrents.
Xu Beiyou didn't think about this consequence, but he still did it, one because he had to send the arrow at that time, and the other because he was not in Jiangdu.
Jiangdu is prosperous, and it is the place where half of the world's money and wealth gather, but there is one point, it is not the center of power, and its important position cannot influence the general trend of the world.
Located in the south of the Yangtze River is a partial peace, Xu Beiyou still has to go to Jiangbei if he wants to revive the Sword Sect, to the city that ranks first among the four capitals.
If Xu Beiyou wants to gain a firm foothold in that city, in addition to Xiao Zhinan and Han Xuan, he also needs more help and connections, just like the network of contacts built by Gongsun Zhongmou back then, a single filament does not form a line, a lonely tree does not become a forest, a person cannot weave a net, and a lot of threads are intertwined to be a net.
——
In a blink of an eye, at the end of July, the money and grain raised by Xiao Bai had already been transported to Jiangbei by the Dongjiang Grand Canal, but he himself was still in Jiangnan.
His Royal Highness King Qi made it clear that he wanted to rectify the rule of officials, but the world was as black as a crow, and a few of the officials who came out to be officials were clean.
——
Jiangdu City, Qunxian Fang.
It's called Qunxian, but in fact, there are no real sages, more of some Jianghu monks.
After the disciples came to Jiangdu, they naturally went to the Taoist workshop to live in their names, but after other small sects or monks who did not have a sect at all, they could only come to Qunxian Fang to settle down.
It is for this reason that there are a mixture of fish and dragons in the Qunxian Fang, there are high-rollers who have been famous for a long time, there are also young children who have just entered the rivers and lakes, there are famous and decent disciples, there are also three indiscriminate people who do not enter the stream, there are nobodies with mediocre qualifications, and there are also fairy heroines with outstanding appearances, and the wooden man in the corner may be the devil who kills people without blinking, and the old beggar at the door may also be a hidden master.
This place, the Secret Guard Mansion does not want to take care of it, the Daomen does not want to take care of it, and the Sansi Yamen does not want to manage it, and over time it has become a semi-lawless place, to gain a foothold in this kind of place, first of all, you must polish your eyes, who is the dragon and who is the worm, you can distinguish it clearly.
In the northwest corner of Qunxian Fang, there is an inconspicuous two-entry courtyard, it looks like it has been some years, the origin of which no one knows for a long time, in recent years it has been an old servant guarding here, until this year there have been many new faces.
These people look like both southerners and northerners, and their accents are all over the world, and the leader is a tall man, carrying a fiery red giant sword, and his momentum is very impressive.
After the tall man lived in this courtyard, he has always lived in a simple place, and rarely shows up on weekdays, until in recent days, he has begun to appear frequently, and the whole courtyard has suddenly become much more lively, many people with swords and weapons come and go endlessly, if they are in other places, they will naturally attract attention, but in Qunxianfang, it is commonplace, and even habitual.
Entering the main gate of the courtyard, bypassing the shadow wall is the main hall, at this time the main hall gate is open, and the house is already full of various characters.
On the main seat sat the local master, the tall body was casually dressed in a short black dress, highlighting every muscle perfectly, and the red big sword leaned on the side of the seat, and the sword aura was faint.
He was an ambitious man, and he never hid that.
He was born in a family of ordinary people in the countryside, his father is an honest man, and his mother is a diligent and virtuous traditional woman, with no family background and no relationship, but God still gave him some gifts, that is, he has a strength that is different from ordinary people since he was a child, in the words of Mr. Teach, he is born with divine power.
This is the only way for him to climb up.
When he was nine years old, he met a stranger who carried a sword, a very large sword, and said something he did not understand, and finally asked him if he wanted to go out and take a look.
Although he was still young at that time, he also knew that it was useless to face the loess with his back to the sky all his life, so he did not hesitate, resolutely bid farewell to his parents, and left his hometown with the stranger.
Naturally, the stranger became his first master, teaching him swordsmanship, teaching him how to practice, leading him on a very different path.
He became a monk, a disciple of the Sword Sect.
When he was twenty years old, he joined the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall at the recommendation of his master and became one of the twenty-four swordsmen of the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall.
Later, when he was twenty-four years old, Master died.
Died at the hands of an archdeacon of the Demon Temple of Daomen Town.
Then he was taken to the city as the only heir of the Master, and in a magnificent mansion he met a majestic old man, who was still the age of a sixtieth year, and was not as old as he was later, which made him feel as impassable as a mountain in the world.
The old man looked at him for a long time, but finally said nothing.
Later, he finally knew the identity of the old man, who was the sect master of the Sword Sect and the master of his master.
That city is called Jiangdu, that mansion is called Gongsun Mansion, and that old man is called Gongsun Zhongmou.
When he was thirty years old, he was summoned by the sect master again, and this time he inherited his master's position, name, and relics, and became the third of the twelve sword masters of the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall.
At the age of thirty-two, the sect master left Jiangdu and traveled all over the world, and these sword qi Lingkong Hall swordsmen also followed him, but he never thought that this trip would be more than ten years.
More than ten years later, the majestic suzerain also died.
Died at the hands of the master of the Dao Sect.
These sword qi sword masters seemed to have turned into a pack of wild dogs without an owner overnight.
In fact, the sect master left a young master before he died, but he was not convinced, the real reason he never told anyone, in fact, in the final analysis, it was because the experience of this young master was very similar to his.
He was also born in a mountain village and countryside, but why was that kid favored by the sect master, and even ascended to the sky in one step? Why am I only a swordsman after decades of conscientious service?
Why?
He was not convinced.
If this young master is the son and grandson of the sect master, he may accept his fate, but this kid is not related to the sect master, is this the so-called chance?
Fuck the chance!
Chi Bing looked at the red greatsword beside him.
Purely in terms of cultivation as the realm, he is confident that he will not lose to Yujia and Xuanyi, if he fights with his life, he will definitely be the one who survives, and he can even compete with the three casual cultivators who have just entered the realm of immortals, and then win the battle, Xu Beiyou of the realm of ghosts and immortals is not in his eyes at all.
Now, Xu Beiyou has been recognized by the master's mother, relying on the earth immortal masters behind him to ask them to bow their heads.
If he doesn't want to bow his head, he can only take a risk.
He believed that the mistress would not fight for a dead young master.
Most of the time, people are still alive to be valuable.
Otherwise, what is the purpose of killing?
Chi Bing sat up straight, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, success or failure, it's tonight." ”
