With the change of years, the Central Plains has long since lost its prosperous atmosphere, and the south of the Yangtze River, which was regarded as a wild land in ancient times, has come to the top and become the most prosperous place in the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Half of the world's taxes come from Jiangnan, and half of Jiangnan's taxes come from Jiangdu, which is even more important than today's imperial capital in terms of wealth alone.

Jiangdu twenty-four squares, with Tianyuan, Zhengxin, wealth, Ronghua four squares to the top, even the Taoist workshop should be located behind these four squares, of which Tianyuan Fang occupies the largest area, but also the former site of the Great Chu Imperial City, the Yamen of each division are here. Zhengxinfang occupies the smallest area among the four squares, but it is also a gathering place for major private academies, which can be called the Jinghua of Jiangnan Shilin. Fuguifang, as its name suggests, is where the major wealthy businessmen are. As for Ronghuafang, it is the favorite place of the major families.

Gongsun Mansion is located in Ronghua Fang, since Xu Beiyou became the owner, more people began to call this place Xu Mansion, but Xu Beiyou has never replaced the plaque of Xu Mansion, and still regards this place as the master's widow rather than his own mansion.

A carriage quietly drove into Ronghuafang and came to the door of Gongsun's mansion, and there was no one in the carriage except a young man with white hair, and outside the carriage was a young woman who acted as a groom.

After parking, Song Guanguan helped Xu Beiyou get out of the carriage, and just got the news, Zhang An hurriedly went out of the house to greet him.

After seeing Xu Beiyou's white hair, Zhang An was shocked for a moment, and then buried this shock deep in his heart.

Xu Beiyou stopped in front of the gate of Gongsun Mansion, looked up at the plaque of Gongsun Mansion hanging high, and said softly: "The sky is sunny after the rain." ”

With that, he walked into the door, followed by Song Guanguan and Zhang An.

When he came to the main hall, Xu Beiyou sat on the main seat, and after signaling Xu Beiyou and Song Guanguan to sit down, a maid came up to serve tea.

Xu Beiyou picked up the teacup, waved his hand to signal the maid to retreat, and then spoke: "Find a time to call all the stewards below, let them see me, and give them a reassurance, the Sword Sect is not dead, don't be busy looking for a new master, if you want to die, go to Xuanwu Lake, don't dirty my hands." ”

Zhang An hurriedly nodded in response.

Xu Beiyou took a sip of tea, and then said: "Merchants and the like can be used, but they can't be trusted, so stabilizing them is the top priority, as for the people in the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall, they are not in a hurry, these people are still disciples of the Sword Sect after all, and they are still a bit backbone, and everyone has the lives of Dao disciples in their hands, so it will not be so unhelpful." ”

Song Guanguan softly agreed.

Xu Beiyou pondered for a moment with a teacup, and said slowly: "The situation was critical that day, my wife asked me to take refuge in the Qianjin Building, although I couldn't go for some reason, but this love still has to be received, Senior Sister Zhang, you go to send a message to Aunt Qin tomorrow, just say that I am seriously ill, it is inconvenient to come to the door to thank you, I specially invite the elders to come to the house to talk about it, and the specific date is decided by Aunt Qin." ”

Zhang An said solemnly: "I will write a message tonight, and I will send it in person early tomorrow morning." ”

Xu Beiyou put down the teacup in his hand, leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and said, "Okay, I'm tired, you guys go and let me stay alone for a while." ”

Zhang An took the lead in getting up and retreating, and Song Guanguan also left after a slight hesitation.

Xu Beiyou sat in the red sandalwood chair that Gongsun Zhongmou once sat on, his body was a little tilted, a little frivolous and casual, he reached out and pulled up a strand of his white hair, closed his eyes and said: "Fame, power, money, status, women, everything is poison coated with honey, my generation of monks, what is the way to seek immortality, and there are a few who can live forever, but it is just a life of glory in exchange for a body of cultivation." ”

Xu Beiyou opened his eyes and looked at the top of his head, and said softly: "Your Excellency, do you say this is the reason?"

I don't know when a person stood on the roof beam above Xu Beiyou's head, Xu Beiyou looked up, the two just looked at each other, that person obviously didn't expect Xu Beiyou to be able to find out about his existence, a look of surprise flashed on his face, but he didn't leave, but fell to the ground from the beam, looked at Xu Beiyou and smiled: "In Xia Wei Wuji, I have been an uninvited villain today, and I hope that the host Haihan." ”

I don't know if it's because of his white head, Xu Beiyou not only has a twilight in his words and deeds, but also has a calm attitude like an old man, sitting motionless on the chair, and said indifferently: "It turned out to be one of the three major governors of the Dark Guard Mansion, the cat Wei Dudu came in person, Xu Beiyou was terrified, but he was seriously ill and couldn't give full courtesy, and he hoped that the governor Haihan was." ”

The two sea hans are tepid, but they both have a faint taste of temptation.

The human cat Wei Wuji, with the same name as the Tomb Python Chaqing, the sick tiger Zhang Wuji, the flying bear Yu Kuang and others, is also the first of the four major guards of the first emperor, and is also the first to emerge among the four major guards, in terms of appearance alone, Wei Wuji looks younger than Zhang Wuji and Yu Kuang, with a handsome face, although a little gloomy but not half of the soft air.

Wei Wuji laughed at it and said flatly: "It's not that Wei is boasting, there are not many young people who can still be at ease after hearing the word "human cat" now." ”

Xu Beiyou's face was calm, "Xu Mou is not talented, he just met Taiyi Rescue Tianzun of the Demon Suppression Hall half a month ago, and lost most of his life, but after all, it was once difficult for the sea to be water, and if you want to make Xu startled, at least you have to teach Qiu Ye to go down the mountain in person." ”

Wei Wuji's face was slightly gloomy, he hadn't met a junior who dared to talk to him like this for many years, even Duanmu Yu had to be respectful in the face of him, but the years of temple gangsters made him have a deep city government than when he was young, he didn't have an immediate attack, but he didn't pretend to be polite, the young man in front of him was not enough for him to treat him seriously.

Xu Beiyou sat up straight, put his hands on his knees, and said slowly: "Do you think I'm so bold?" In fact, my courage is big and big, small and small, all of which are forced out a little bit. ”

If it was Xu Beiyou in the past, he would definitely not dare to speak like this, but after the last incident, Xu Beiyou's temperament has changed a little imperceptibly, and he always feels that there is a pride in his heart, not vomiting or unhappy, just like the long sword in his hand, only taking it from the straight, not seeking from the song.

Wei Wuji didn't laugh angrily, lowered his eyes slightly and said, "You have a bit of the demeanor of Shangguan Xianchen back then, but it's a pity that you are a wasted person." ”

Xu Beiyou said indifferently: "Is it a waste person, you have to ask Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun." ”

Wei Wuji raised his head suddenly, his voice was calm, but his voice was extremely fast and asked, "Who was the one who defeated Taiyi to save the Suffering Heavenly Venerable? What happened that day? How did you find out about me just now?"

Xu Beiyou's face was still calm, and he repeated the words just now, "You can go and ask Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun." ”

"Vertical looking for death!" Wei Wuji was finally furious.

Instantly full of murderous intent.

The killing intent of an earth immortal master is enough to make ordinary ordinary people directly paralyzed to the ground, and it can also make martial artists below the realm of ghosts and immortals not even have the desire to resist.

It's just that Xu Beiyou didn't seem to be aware of this, and smiled: "I don't want to die, and you don't dare to kill me, after all, this is Jiangdu." ”

Wei Wuji tugged at the corners of his mouth and sneered, "You mean those three women? Even if Ben Du kills you now, they still dare to kill Ben Du!?"

Xu Beiyou said: "It's me who said wrong, it's that Wei Dudu doesn't want to kill me at all, he has a murderous aura but no killing intent, which means that Wei Dudu just wants to scare and scare me." I have long heard that people and cats are scheming, and they are known for their caution, before you find out my details, you will never make a rash move, after all, Taiyi will have to cut off an arm, how can you put yourself in danger. ”

All the murderous aura disappeared in an instant, and a faint smile appeared on Wei Wuji's face, and he said, "It is worthy of being the first disciple of the Sword Sect, and he is thoughtful, so it is no wonder that His Royal Highness the princess should remember a few points." ”

Xu Beiyou got up from the chair, was silent for a moment, and arched his hand: "There is something rude, and I hope that Governor Wei will forgive me." ”

Wei Wuji took out a folded envelope from his sleeve and said, "Wei was entrusted by Her Royal Highness the princess to bring a letter. ”

Xu Beiyou took the letter and said softly: "There is the governor of Lao Wei." ”
