The one-day sword tasting conference ended hastily. Because of Murong Bai, today's prices were suppressed very low, and the transaction volume was less than one-third of the usual volume. This is not only for the people behind Tianjian Tower and Tianshangju, It's a big loss for people, so many people have criticized Tianjian Tower's actions.
The responsibility is naturally Shen Qi's and Shen Fang's brothers. They also have troubles that they cannot tell. Master Xue Haiya asked them to take Murong Bai out for a day for no reason. By coincidence, they caught up with the sword tasting competition. Now I just hope that Master will not Just vent your anger on them.
Back at Tianjian Tower, Murong Bai and Shen Qi said goodbye to the brothers and went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes. After doing all this, he was ready to see Xue Haiya.
After being out for a whole day, I still don't know how Xue Haiya dealt with Tao Suzhi.
Due to Murong Bai's special status, Xue Haiya had already given orders to the people below, and Murong Bai saw that he could get through unimpeded.
Arriving at Xue Haiya's door, before Murong Bai could knock on the door, a voice came from inside:
"This is Mr. Murong, please come in."
Murong Bai opened the door, and Xue Haiya was sitting upright, as if he knew he was coming and was waiting here specially.
"Senior Xue."
"As soon as Qi'er Fang'er comes back, I know you will come to me." Xue Haiya smiled and said, "What do you think of the sword tasting competition in Tianjian Tower?"
"There are indeed many excellent swords, but the prices offered by Tianjian Tower are too high."
Xue Haiya said calmly: "Mr. Murong, do you know that every time we buy a sword, how much money we spend goes into the seller's pocket?"
"The intermediate handling fees are unavoidable. If there are many, they would be at least 85%."
"Only sixty-three percent."
"So few?"
"Our Swordsmanship Conference is not just for Tianjian Tower, but also for the officials in Yizhou City. If Tianjian Tower wants to stay in Jiannan Road for a long time, it must firmly grasp them. We need to use our money bags to send them money in various ways. Only in this way can we maintain Tianjian Tower’s century-old foundation and prevent it from being destroyed.”
"Murong Bai has learned the lesson." Murong Bai nodded and said, "However, this junior is here today not for the sword tasting competition."
"I know." Xue Haiya said, "You are doing it for my wife, Tao Suzhi."
"Yes." Murong Bai took a deep breath and asked slowly: "I want to know how you dealt with Mrs. Xue."
"I didn't deal with her." Xue Haiya's answer was very calm, but it caused Murong Bai's heart to stir up waves.
"Why!"
Murong Bai didn't understand at all. The person next to him colluded with his brother to kill him. How could Xue Haiya not be murderous? Even if he was reluctant to kill his wife, he should have expressed it, at least be angry!
But Xue Haiya was terrifyingly calm from beginning to end, as if he had known for a long time that Tao Suzhi was going to kill him.
"Because she can't die."
Xue Haiya breathed out slowly and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Murong, who do you think Tianjian Tower relies on for its success today?"
"Damn it..." Xue Haiya stopped Murong Bai in his tracks. He frowned and said:
"Of course it's due to Tianjian Tower's decades of accumulation and your brilliant strategy, Senior Xue."
"A great talent and a great strategy... Haha, this is the first time I heard someone say that about me." Xue Haiya choked himself with laughter, "No, you are wrong. The existence of Tianjian Tower today has nothing to do with me."
"Let me tell you, Mr. Murong, twenty years ago, Tianjian Pavilion was still a second-rate sect in Jiannan Road. At that time, the one facing Shenjian Pavilion from the north to the south was Lingfeng Sect. Our three sects were also affiliated sects of Seven Kills Sword House back then.
, so it was hard for each other to do anything to the other. At that time, Lingfeng Sect and Shenjian Pavilion were dominant, and both of them were eyeing Tianjian Tower, which mastered the method of eating swords. At that time, my master, the previous owner of Tianjian Tower, was unknown.
Who was the plotter? I was seriously injured and dying. He asked me to marry the famous solo heroine at that time, who is my current wife, Tao Suzhi."
"I don't understand why the master insisted on letting me marry her, but it is hard to disobey the master's orders. I married Tao Suzhi. This is the most correct thing I have done in my life. I listened to the master and married Tao Suzhi for twenty years.
This woman has been using it for twenty years
Within a short period of time, Tianjian Pavilion united with the four forces and annexed Lingfeng Sect in one fell swoop, becoming the leading sect in Jiannan Dao. After that, Tao Suzhi overcame everyone's opinions and stopped our idea of going south to destroy Shenjian Pavilion. It can be said that
, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it prevented a martial arts catastrophe.”
"Over the years, Tao Suzhi has been communicating with people in the officialdom. She is very smart and knows that hard work is easy to break, so she has been trying her best to restrict the expansion of Tianjian Tower. At the same time, she has also secretly allowed her disciples to do some illegal things and take the initiative.
Sell our handles so that Tianjian Tower can be made safer, including the Tianjian Tower's sword tasting competition, which is an idea she came up with. I can't think of such an idea in my life."
Xue Haiya let out a long sigh: "You know, in the eyes of the final disciple of Tianjian Tower, she, Tao Suzhi, is the real owner of the building, and I am just a symbol, a symbol of force. And in the hearts of those high-ranking officials, Tao Suzhi is better than
There are hundreds of Xue Haiya. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. I, Xue Haiya, am a rough man. I have always liked practicing swordsmanship in my life. Therefore, I don’t care what others think of me. As long as Tao Suzhi doesn’t do too much, as long as Tianjian Tower is still good.
Even if it's called Tianjian Tower, I can accept it. Besides, Tao Suzhi manages Tianjian Tower very well. If it were me, I'm afraid it would have disappeared twenty years ago."
"The reason why I told Young Master Murong this is for no other reason than to let you know clearly that it doesn't matter if Tao Suzhi wants to kill me. This does not matter at all to Tianjian Tower or the martial arts situation in Jiannan Road as a whole.
Any influence. Therefore, Mr. Murong does not need to worry."
"is that so……"
Murong Bai said slowly: "But I want to know, Senior Xue, since you know that Mrs. Xue wants to kill you, are you not angry at all and don't want to know why?"
Xue Haiya was silent for a long time and said slowly: "I'm sorry for her."
"In the past twenty years, I have never fulfilled the responsibility of a husband. Tianjian Tower was supported by her, but the honor, fame and fortune are all mine. When I look at her face, I always feel eclipsed, and my heart
I couldn't help but feel ashamed and humble. Tao Suzhi is an extremely excellent woman, but her husband is just a martial arts idiot who doesn't care about anything and only wants to practice swordsmanship. In the past twenty years, I haven't helped her at all.
Every time I see her, I dare not face her. Sometimes, I want to take her place and do what the leader of a sect should really do, but I am a martial arts idiot. I used to be proud of being a martial arts idiot.
But now, I hate this identity very much."
"Maybe it's shame, or maybe it's a man's humble self-esteem that makes me afraid to face her. But the more I do this, the more she bears, and the greater the regret in my heart. For twenty years, I have suffered a lot.
, I think she won’t feel well either.”
"I'm not surprised at all that she wants to kill me, and I have no right to be angry. That's what I owe her." Xue Haiya sighed slowly, "Even if she wants to kill me now, I won't have the slightest complaint.
."
After listening to this, Murong Bai couldn't help but sigh: "Even so, if Senior Xue finds Mrs. Xue and talks about it, maybe the knot between you can be resolved."
Xue Haiya remained silent. Could it be said that the knot in his heart that had been knotted for twenty years could be solved?
"This is my family matter. I don't need to worry about it, Mr. Murong." Xue Haiya's voice was as heavy as that of an old man in his dying years. "I am not idle today. Tianjian Tower has searched many people in Demon Shadow Pavilion over the years.
I have compiled all the clues and put them in the study, and I will ask Qi'er to take you there later."
Murong Bai knew that Xue Haiya was issuing an eviction order, so he had no choice but to sigh and bid farewell to Xue Haiya.
After Murong Bai left, Xue Haiya probably didn't move for a long time, just sitting quietly, as if there was another guest coming.
After an unknown amount of time, the candles in the room burned out, and a gust of wind blew by, completely extinguishing them.
The pure white moonlight shines into the house through the window paper, reflecting a plump figure.
After a moment, the woman opened her lips and said slowly: "Why didn't you tell me these words earlier?"
"What did you say?" Xue Haiya smiled self-deprecatingly, "You said I was a coward and that I had no ambition, so I hid from you and didn't dare to see you?"
"You and I are husband and wife, will I still laugh at you?"
"But I laugh at myself."
Xue Haiya closed his eyes and slowly
Xu said: "If you want to take action, just go ahead."
"If I really want to kill you, I still have to wait twenty years, and I still have to seduce your good-for-nothing brother..." Outside the door, Tao Suzhi was heartbroken: "Xue Haiya, you are not a coward, you are just stupid, I have never
I’ve never seen a man as stupid as you!”
"Yeah... I'm so stupid." Xue Haiya opened his eyes, and the beautiful figure was no longer on the ground. Only the fragrance was still lingering on the tip of his nose, lingering.
At the entrance of the blood-clothed hall, Li Xin'an returned here with a scar, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"Hall Master, what's wrong with you? You're so seriously injured?" Zhang Quan hurriedly went to get medicine, and Li Xin'an waved his hand:
"No need, it's been taken care of. It's nothing serious."
Xiao Xuangan frowned and said, "How did you do it?"
"During the fight, I was accidentally scratched by someone." Li Xin'an said with a bitter smile, "It's my fault that I'm not good at learning."
"That girl has no ability to hurt you. She's not good at her studies? I think you're just distracted."
Li Xin'an said: "Don't talk nonsense, Tang Ying is still very good. Half a year ago, she just reached the high position of the third grade. Now she is in the middle of the second grade, and she is making rapid progress."
"So fast." Xiao Xuangan couldn't help but said in surprise, "Has she taken the medicine?"
"If this kind of medicine existed in the world, the world would have been in chaos long ago." Li Xin'an shook his head and said, "The strength of Tang Ying and Tang Feng has improved qualitatively. I don't know what they have done, but I can know
What's more, Tang Ying has learned a new swordsmanship that is different from Tushenglou's Taixu Jing, which is extremely domineering and fierce, with murderous intent."
"Do you know where you're coming from?"
"If they appear on Jiannan Road, there is only one possibility."
Li Xin'an said slowly: "The Seven Kills Sword House has disappeared for a long time!"
"I heard you and Murong Bai talk about it many times. Didn't the Seven Kills Sword House close to the mountain?"
"It's just a retreat. Now is a troubled time. At the time of great changes, the world may soon be ushered in a bloody storm. At this time, if the Seven Kills Sword House is born again, it will be a big trouble."
"Forget it, that's far away." Li Xin'an brought the topic back on track, "Is Ye Qi back?"
"Not yet. A disciple sent a message back, saying that he will stay at Yejia Yinhao first, and in the next few days he will contact the officials and wealthy businessmen in Yizhou City. Tao Suzhi has a very close relationship with them." This chapter has been completed!
