"What"?

Lan Xiaorui was shocked, and this surprise was really extraordinary. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info he asked incredulously, "Is this true"?

"Naturally, it's really ......", Xie Shan nodded slightly, and then asked: "Don't you believe what the old man said, or, or do you think that the old man is the kind of villain who is full of nonsense, untruthful, and telling right and wrong"?

"That's not ......", Lan Xiaoruiyou shook his head in surprise, "I just feel a little unbelievable, and at the same time a little strange."

"What's so weird"?

"Since Mei Luoyun was Li Muqing's lover, why did she end up marrying Yang Shuangzi as his wife?"

"I don't know the reason for this matter...... Xie Shan shook his head lightly and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."

Lan Xiaorui said strangely: "I don't know why Uncle Xie is saying this to me?"

"I mentioned Mei Luoyun just to let you know her detailed origins."

"I know this, Mei Luoyun is the eldest lady of the Mei family in Lingnan, and the only daughter of Mei Xuyuan, the former head of the Mei family."

Xie Shan frowned and said, "You know"?

Lan Xiaorui smiled faintly and said, "Of course I know." Although I am still young and have little experience, if I don't even know about the Lingnan Mei family, then I can really be regarded as a lonely and unheard."

After a pause, Lan Xiaorui said again: "Since I know the Mei family, how can I not know the plum fairy Mei Luoyun who moved the rivers and lakes thirty years ago."

Xie Shan nodded and said, "Yes, Mei Luoyun is the eldest lady of the Mei family in Lingnan." As for the Mei family, although it is not obvious on the surface, if you really talk about the strength of the major families on the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it is Luoxue Valley, and it may not be a little stronger than the Mei family."

"The heritage of the hidden family is extremely terrifying, this has never been deniable."

"When it comes to the Mei family, it is natural to mention a person ......", Xie Shan was fascinated for a while, and asked, "Do you know who I am talking about"?

Lan Xiaorui said clearly: "Mei is wrong."

"It's Mei ...... wrong", the respect on Xie Shan's face couldn't be concealed at all, and the old man, who had already passed the age of the Mandate of Heaven, suddenly became a little excited, and said: "Carefully calculated, the Lingnan Mei family has a history of at least five hundred years, but just more than a hundred years ago, the Mei family fell into the middle of the road, and almost suffered a crisis of annihilation. It was also this crisis that created a new legend -- Mei Cuo, the twenty-second generation head of the Mei family."

"I've heard a lot of legends about Mei Cuo, an old-timer with a god-like transcendent status in the rivers and lakes, but I don't know much about what kind of person he is."

Lan Xiaorui looked at Xie Shan and asked, "I don't know how much you know Uncle Xie?"

Xie Shan didn't answer immediately, and after thinking for a long time, he said cautiously: "It is rumored that Mei Cuo is not surnamed Mei, he is just an orphan taken in by the head of the Mei family at that time. Later, the Mei family suffered a major change, a large number of killers broke into the Mei family, and the head of the family, Mei Yuechen, was killed, leaving only Mei Yuechen's daughter Mei Yingxue alone. Seeing that the situation was extremely critical, the killers had surrounded Mei Yingxue, but fortunately, the Mei family's miscellaneous servant Xiao Wuzi broke into the killer's encirclement alone and rescued Mei Yingxue before the ghost gate was closed.

"Little Five"?

Lan Xiaorui said strangely: "Who is this little fifth son?"

After Xie Shan slowed down, he answered: "After the Mei family suffered an accident, the fifth son changed his name to Mei Cuo and took Mei Yingxue to wander the rivers and lakes. After many hardships, it took a full ten years and painstaking efforts to finally find out the truth about the Mei family's disaster, and at the same time prevent a larger conspiracy."

"It turns out that the little fifth son is Mei Cuo......".

"Exactly".

"What ...... is the truth of the Mei family's disaster", Lan Xiaorui was a little curious for a while, and asked: "By the way, Uncle Xie, you just said that Mei Cuo also prevented a bigger conspiracy while finding out the truth of the Mei family's disaster, I don't know what this bigger conspiracy is?"

"It's all old things, so don't mention it."

Xie Shan seemed reluctant to say more.

Lan Xiaorui naturally didn't want to ask again. However, after all, he couldn't help his curiosity, and finally asked: "What about later"?

Xie Shan replied quickly this time, and said very simply: "Later, Mei Yingxue married Mei Cuo. The Lingnan Mei family has once again risen from the rivers and lakes."

Lan Xiaorui was a little disappointed, frowned and asked, "That's all"?

"That's all, of course."

After a while, Xie Shan opened his mouth again, and Lan Xiaorui thought he was going to add something. But Xie Shan only muttered something in the end, and then fell completely silent.

The charcoal fire in the furnace gradually burned a little stronger, and the faint light of the fire just happened to be reflected on Xie Shan's silent face.

Lan Xiaorui understood that although all kinds of deeds about Mei Cuo came out of Xie Shankou, it was only a few short sentences. But he actually knew in his heart that it must be another wonderful and legendary past.

However, what Lan Xiaorui didn't understand was what Xie Shan meant by saying so much before and after.

Since you don't understand, you naturally have to ask.

"I don't know what you want to express when you go around so much and say this to me like this, Uncle Xie?"

Xie Shan's expression was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "The reason why I have to spend so many words is just to make you understand one thing."

Lan Xiaorui saw that his expression was solemn, and he also collected his thoughts at the moment, and said with a straight face: "What's the matter"?

"I'd better add some old things about Shimizu Villa first."

Xie Shan said lightly: "Mei Xuyuan, the head of the Mei family, that is, Yang Xiaofeng's grandfather, has no children under his knees, and only one daughter, Mei Luoyun, was also born when he was almost fifty years old. Later, Mei Xuyuan passed away, leaving behind a huge amount of property, and only Mei Luoyun was a woman who took it independently."

"Uncle Xie, you have already said this."

"Although the Mei family has a long heritage, after Mei Luoyun married Yang Shuangzi, most of the Mei family's huge family business was actually merged into Qingshui Villa."

"That's ......".

Lan Xiaorui raised his eyebrows and said, "This is why Qingshui Villa has only grown to the scale of the first martial arts family by Yang Shuangzi in less than ten years. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just Yang Shuangzi borrowing the power of the Mei family."

"By no means", Xie Shan immediately vetoed Lan Xiaorui's opinion.

"What"?

Xie Shan shook his head and said: "The reason why Qingshui Villa has been able to grow to the scale of the first family of martial arts is indeed more or less due to some factors of the Mei family, but Yang Shuangzi is definitely because of the strength of the Mei family, Qingshui Villa has grown."

"I don't get it again."

"I have just said that Yang Shuangzi is not only good at martial arts, but also unparalleled in the world in scheming. Therefore, the reason why Qingshui Villa has been able to develop to such a scale is entirely because of Yang Shuangzi."

Lan Xiaorui asked noncommittally, "Uncle Xie, what you said is a bit exaggerated." In the final analysis, Yang Shuangzi is just a person, he is not a god, I don't understand, a person can really have such great ability"?

"Yes, everything is because of people. No matter how big the business is, it is made by people, and only people are the most valuable capital. Let's put it this way, no matter how many resources you have, no matter how many advantages you have, but if you are not capable of doing it personally, then everything is just empty talk, do you think I am right"?

Lan Xiaorui had no choice but to nod and say, "It's the same."

Xie Shan continued: "At this point, we can really get to the key point."

The "key point"?

"yes".

"What key points"?

Xie Shan thought for a long time, and then was silent for a while before he said: "Although they are both the first families of martial arts, compared to the Rising and Falling Snow Valley, Qingshui Villa still has a shallow foundation after all. Because from beginning to end, Qingshui Villa was only supported by Yang Shuangzi. This is not the case with Luoxue Valley, after three hundred years of inheritance and development, it has already completely formed a system that only belongs to Luoxue Valley. For example, although many industries are nominally subordinate to Luoxue Valley, in fact, their operation is completely independent, and the people of the Luo family do not interfere in their operations."

"I understand ......", suddenly, Lan Xiaorui's eyes lit up, and said: "Qingshui Villa relies on Yang Shuangzi alone to support everything, if Yang Shuangzi dies, Qingshui Villa will naturally collapse." Luoxue Valley is different, even if he leaves the Luo family completely, the industry under the name of Luoxue Valley will still operate, and it will not have much impact on the strength of Luoxue Valley because of the problems of the Luo family itself."

Xie Shan replied sadly: "This is why Qingshui Villa, a once prosperous martial arts family, disappeared from the rivers and lakes overnight."

"Hehe......".

Lan Xiaorui smiled gloomily: "I finally understand now."

Xie Shan looked at Lan Xiaorui's eyes with a little more understanding, but he still asked, "I don't know what you understand?"

"I understand how much influence one person has on one side. In the final analysis, it was Yang Shuangzi who made Qingshui Villa, and later, Qingshui Villa also collapsed because of Yang Shuangzi's death."

"This may be the fate that heroes can't escape since ancient times......", Xie Shan sighed and said, "Think about how high-spirited Yang Shuangzi, Li Muqing, and Murong Ke were back then. I remember that at that time, they were still in their youth, although they had nothing, but with the blood of a young man, they destroyed the troubled rivers and lakes for more than 20 years in one fell swoop, and finally tried in vain to destroy the other sects, and thus dominated the evil force Jiangnan Yiyantang.
