Chapter 7 The former rejected the tiger and then entered the wolf
After Murong Xuanyin retreated, the entire river returned to its original calm state at a jaw-dropping speed, although the little people couldn't feel the wind, frost, snow and rain on the upper level, but the abnormality of the big people still indirectly affected the words and deeds of the little people, and all the undercurrents were temporarily hidden, as if all the conflicts had been taken away by the Xuanjiao sect leader.

At this time, if there were no people fleeing inside and outside the city, it would really be peaceful and peaceful.
Zhang Xueyao, Qin Mumian, and Tang Shengyue reunited in the East Lake Courtyard on July 15 after recuperating separately afterwards.
This time is not so much a reunion of a few people, but a post-event summary, and the people present are also complete, in addition to Xu Beiyou and Li Qinglian, the two juniors, Tang Banyan Tree, Shangguan Qinghong, and Mrs. Luo, these earth immortal masters are also all gathered, and the biggest hero this time is undoubtedly Zhang Xueyao, who forcibly used the Zhuxian Sword, so everyone is also faintly headed by Zhang Xueyao.
In the Liuli Pavilion, Zhang Xueyao was in the position of the master, and was the first to speak: "This time I can force Murong Xuanyin to retreat, luck accounts for a large component, if it weren't for Murong Xuanyin's great efforts to resist the immortal from the front, it would not be so easy to break his immortal golden body, take a step back, if Murong Xuanyin really wants to fight to the death, it is still unknown who will kill the deer." ”
Qin Mumian raised the teacup in his hand and blew it, and said softly: "It's not that we don't know, we will definitely die." The reason why Murong Xuanyin retreated, in the final analysis, was still afraid that Wanyan Beiyue or Daomen would take advantage of it, and it was estimated that he had already found a place to heal his injuries at this time, speaking of which, this was also the reason why he acted too radically on weekdays, and there were many enemies, if it was replaced by autumn leaves, even if he was not one in ten cultivation, and there were a large number of Daomen masters to escort him, no one dared to take advantage of the danger. ”
Tang Shengyue on the side seemed to be a little absent-minded, did not speak, just took a few sips of tea and began to stare at the jasper teacup in his hand and began to be stunned.
Xu Beiyou sat in Shangguan Qinghong's subordinate position, watching his nose and nose, observing everyone present without a trace, only relying on other people's descriptions is not enough to really understand a person, he will have to work with these people in the future, if he can't figure out their true temperament, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, if you can grasp their preferences and personalities clearly, it will be natural to deal with them.
Regarding Qin Mumian's demolition, Zhang Xueyao was a little helpless, and said: "As far as today's Daomen is concerned, whether or not Autumn Leaves are in charge does not prevent them from becoming the leaders of the cultivation world, and the biggest role of Autumn Leaves is to suppress the Daomen itself, so as not to give birth to a lot of unnecessary internal struggles and internal frictions. Moreover, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be in charge of the Daomen. ”
Qin Mumian snorted coldly: "Why can't a man do it, why can't a woman do it?"
In today's Liuli Pavilion, there are many women, and there are only two men, Xu Beiyou and Shangguan Qinghong, one old and one looking at each other carefully, and smiling wordlessly.
At this time, Tang Shengyue, who had been outside the Divine Wanderer, finally came back to her senses and interrupted: "You two are far away, how about the Daomen, let's not care, talk about some current things, the Qinghe River bursts, the court has no food for disaster relief, Xiao Xuan sent Xiao Bai to our Jiangdu to raise money to transfer grain, to put it bluntly, it is a big eater, how should we deal with it, we have to come up with a charter quickly." ”
Zhang Xueyao frowned slightly, and said: "The front door rejects the tiger and the back door enters the wolf, although Xiao Bai, a hungry wolf, does not have the appetite of Murong Xuanyin, but he is bound to bite off a piece of flesh and blood from us before he is willing to give up." ”
Except for a small number of remnants who fled overseas and the Western Regions, the current White Lotus Sect and Wenxiang Sect no longer do rebellion, and have reached some tacit agreement with the imperial court, the imperial court can tolerate their existence, and even take deep roots in Jiangdu, but they also have to cooperate with the imperial court to a certain extent, just like this time to raise money and transfer food, they bear the brunt of the majority, and they can't easily deal with things.
Then Mrs. Luo and Tang Banyan Tree reported the income and expenditure of the year, which basically did not change much compared with last year, but recently because of the rampant piracy, the sea route income has been slightly affected, but it does not affect the overall situation.
The three women who were in charge were mostly contemplative, only occasionally asking questions, and finally they asked everyone to leave the Liuli Pavilion first, and the three of them discussed in the pavilion for about half an hour.
It wasn't until it was nearly dusk that everyone dispersed, and Zhang Xueyao asked the maid to prepare some light side dishes, and specially had dinner with Xu Beiyou.
After the meal, Zhang Xueyao personally made tea and asked, "Beiyou, do you want to come out and do something?"
Xu Beiyou was slightly stunned and said, "Naturally, I want to." ”
Zhang Xueyao nodded lightly and said, "Okay, in a few days, I will hand over all the assets of the Sword Sect to you to take care of." ”
This time, Xu Beiyou was really stunned, shook his head, and repeated in disbelief: "All?"
The corners of Zhang Xueyao's mouth were slightly hooked, and her already beautiful face brought out a touch of maternal love for her children and nephews, "It's almost equivalent to the position of Tang Banyan Tree and Rakshasa Girl." ”
Xu Beiyou took a deep breath and asked carefully, "Master, is this a little too careful?"
"Don't it. Zhang Xueyao shook her head and said, "Qinglian's kid is not the material to be the master of the house, and the Sword Sect's family still has to be supported by you." At the beginning, I laid out Zhongmou's aftermath, and I originally planned to wait for you to take back the sword qi in the Sky Hall and then hand these over to you, but now that Murong Xuanyin and Xiao Bai are coming one after another, I can't wait, but I have to hand them over to you one step in advance. ”
Xu Beiyou was silent for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "Please rest assured, the disciple will do his best and will never let our Sword Sect lose half a cent of silver." ”
"Out of breath. Zhang Xueyao laughed softly and scolded: "Although everything is inseparable from money, but after all, money is still something outside the body, life does not bring death, and your own cultivation realm is the foundation, I let you take care of these industries not to let you learn to make money, but to let you learn how to control the people below, you must not give up the basics, take a step back, with our Sword Sect's family background is not bad for you to earn that little money." ”
Xu Beiyou let out a long sigh, "Having said that, but Master, you put such a big trust in front of me, I still have to do something about it before I can say it." ”
Zhang Xueyao smiled and said noncommittally: "It's not early, you can rest early." ”
Xu Beiyou got up and said respectfully: "The disciple retires." ”
After Xu Beiyou left, Zhang Xueyao poured herself a cup of tea, looked down at the tea in the cup, did not speak, and could not see clearly.
She suddenly remembered that when she first saw Xu Beiyou, the figure of the young man carrying a sword box was exactly the same as Gongsun Zhongmou who had left Jiangnan, and it was this similarity that made her begin to try to accept this strange young man.
In the early years, Gongsun Zhongmou was a very conceited person, but after all kinds of ups and downs, he slowly reined in this conceit, and now I think about it, the reason why Gongsun Zhongmou wants to accept Xu Beiyou as the heir to the mantle, is it because he likes the similarity between the two?
Maybe it's to make up for the regret of having no children in his life.
Zhang Xueyao stood up and walked out of the Liuli Pavilion, although the rain had stopped, the night was still gloomy, and there were no stars in sight.
For a woman who has been alone for many years, the so-called prominent status and power are no longer very attractive to her, and the reason why she is still struggling to support now is more because of a responsibility.
Responsibility to the husband, to the sect, to the family, and to the master.
It's just that after so many years, even if she has always been strong, she is a little physically and mentally exhausted, even tired, and at her age, of course, she will no longer think about finding a man to rely on, just thinking that a brilliant junior can stand up and take over the burden in her hands, so that she can take a break.
This time, it was he who forcibly invited Zhu Xian to repel Murong Xuanyin, so next time, will it be this young man who personally uses Zhu Xian?
