"Today I bought a manor outside the city from an embroidery shop owner... It occupies a large area. However, it is said that there is movement in this manor late at night, so you two need to go and investigate.
Only by solving that unknown movement can we live in peace in the future."
Li Mo then explained the matter of buying the manor in detail.
Next, the book club guys I recruited will go to the manor to type and print Journey to the West. Just because I am not afraid does not mean that the guys are not afraid.
"Yes, my lord!"
Hearing this, the two of them nodded in unison.
As martial arts masters, they naturally don't believe those rumors about ghosts and ghosts. In fact, tonight is enough. The curfew is just a saying for top masters like them. As long as they want to go out, no one can stop them.
"Lang Jun, then... where can Zhu Cang help in the future? Now that Xu Shan has no one to rely on, why not..."
After a pause, Xue Song said again.
He really couldn't bear to see Xu Shan doing all kinds of tricks behind his back, so he might as well find a way to get rid of Zuixian Tower.
"Xu Shan, don't move for now, maybe you can get some benefits from him!"
Li Mo raised his eyebrows, knowing what Xue Song meant.
It was said that when the market was closed today, Zhao Hai once told him privately that Xu Shan wanted to meet with him tomorrow.
In this case, we have to see what little tricks Xu Shan can do. More importantly, the power in his hands is still too weak. In recent days, the people who have been dining in Yibo Building have begun to speculate on his relationship with Xue Song, intentionally or unintentionally.
, had to keep a low profile.
On the contrary, Xu Shan is a good shield.
"Yes, my lord...that...Zhu Cang..."
Xue Song scratched his head.
If Xu Shan is not abolished for the time being, Zhu Cang really cannot be put in the public eye.
"My lord, why don't you let Zhu Cang form a force in the world that can serve your lord secretly?"
On the side, hearing this, Wang Changling thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea.
"oh?"
Hearing this, Xue Song's eyes lit up, and Li Mo was also a little tempted.
Secretly forming a Jianghu force can indeed hide oneself very well, and it can be of great use at critical moments. I dare not say that it will be able to resist An Lushan's rebel army in the future, but at least it can be foresighted.
"Speaking of Jianghu, I wonder if Mr. and Brother Xue can talk about the structure of Jianghu?"
After coming back to his senses, Li Mo asked.
He really doesn't know much about these sects in the world. He has been very busy recently and has no time to ask in detail.
"Lord, there are three top forces in the world, commonly known as one mountain, one religion, and one person."
Wang Changling nodded and spoke softly,
"There is a mountain called Xumi Mountain. The main altar is located in Liaodong. There are many masters of the Xumi Mountain Sect. There is one ninth-grade warrior, five eighth-grade warriors, and more than twenty seventh-grade warriors...
It is rumored that the person behind Mount Xumi is Fan Yang Jiedushi An Lushan, but this has not been confirmed."
"An Lushan?"
Li Mo's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, what I thought was true, An Lushan was secretly amassing power both in court and in the world.
"The First Sect, also known as the Tianyin Sect, has a ninth-level warrior, four eighth-level masters, and thirteen seventh-level masters... The leader of this Tianyin Sect is none other than the current Prime Minister.
Assistant, the noble concubine Yang Yuhuan’s clan brother Yang Guozhong is in favor,”
Wang Changling continued,
"One person is a delinquent controlled by the royal family. Today's bad commander is also a ninth-level warrior. However, overall, the delinquent's strength is slightly worse than Mount Xumi and Tianyin Sect."
"So that's what it is!"
Li Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It is said that the rivers and lakes and the temples are far apart, and the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river. But now it seems... the relationship between the rivers, lakes and temples is more than inextricably linked?
Isn't the current situation in the court like this?
I had underestimated the structure of these big guys in the court before.
In this way, it is also necessary to secretly form a Jianghu force here.
"Except for one mountain, one religion, and one person, there are only some middle-level forces in the world... not worth mentioning. By the way, since my lord wants to form a world force, he can give it a name."
After saying this, Wang Changling spoke again.
"Determine a name?"
Li Mo glanced out the window subconsciously. At this time, the bright moon was high in the sky and the breeze was blowing. He suddenly had an idea, "How about calling it Qingfeng Pavilion?"
"Qingfeng Pavilion? What a name!"
Wang Changling couldn't help but sigh.
"My lord, it's settled. Tomorrow I will ask Zhu Cang to secretly form Qingfeng Pavilion..."
Xue Song nodded repeatedly on the side.
In this way, not only will Zhu Cang have a place to go, but if there is a chance to regain some martial arts people in the future, they will also be able to settle down in time.
"good!"
Li Mo agreed.
"My lord, since we have established Qingfeng Pavilion, I wonder what the source of income will be for Qingfeng Pavilion in the future? Is it the support of Yibo House? Or is it a book club..."
After a pause, Xue Song said again.
Every Jianghu force needs huge financial support. After all, it is impossible for everyone to be the attendant of their own husband.
Yibo Building now has top-notch meals like hot pot, so it should be affordable.
"Source of income? What kind of business supports one person, one religion, and one mountain?"
Li Mo touched his chin.
Xue Song is right, you must have financial backing to support a sect.
"My lord, Mount Xumi controls the water transportation and salt merchants of the Tang Dynasty, making tens of thousands of gold per day! The Tianyin Sect controls more than 90% of the brothels, tile houses, and fences of the Tang Dynasty!
Bad people are raised by the royal family."
Wang Changling echoed from the side.
Having traveled around the world for many years, these things are no secret to him.
"A merchant who transports salt by water...a brothel?"
Li Mo understood that it was indeed a very profitable business.
Although Yibo Building and Book Club can also make a lot of money, they are nothing compared to these businesses. However, there are only so many industries that can make huge profits...it is currently impossible to seize the business of these two parties.
In addition, I don’t want Yibo Tower and Qingfeng Pavilion to be openly related.
what to do?
After pondering for a long time, Li Mo suddenly had an idea.
"By the way, Brother Xue, are there any powerful forces controlling the gambling business in this world?"
There are only a few profitable industries, and gambling houses are definitely one of them.
"Gambling house?"
Xue Song and Wang Changling looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
"Gambling houses are run by small sects everywhere. The three major religions have not been involved, or they look down on this kind of business."
Xue Song told the truth.
When ordinary merchants in the Tang Dynasty were bored, they would fight cocks, tease dogs, throw pots, etc. to gamble. However, in gambling houses, they usually played "Double Land". This game was a bit monotonous. Although there were some people who played it, most of them were ordinary people.
, you can’t make much money.
"That's good, we'll use the gambling house to support Qingfeng Pavilion!"
When Li Mo heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately made a decision.
Although Datang's gambling house has a single game, he comes from the future earth and knows too many ways to play... Mahjong, Landlords, Texas Hold'em...
No matter which game you play, it can make these usually boring Tang Dynasty people obsessed with it.
