[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Journey to the Homeland

Chapter 160

With Shang Xiufang's reputation, people who want to invite her to the banquet can line up from the north gate to the south gate of Chang'an.Even if she has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to agree to everyone's invitations, so she has to choose the important ones or the ones she is interested in.

Since she became famous, she lived in Chang'an most of the time, and traveled all over the world at other times. When she agreed to the invitation of various figures, she also visited the beautiful scenery of the north and south of the Yangtze River, and her vision was wider than that of ordinary women.

The leader of Longyou's guild is celebrating his fiftieth birthday, so he is very proud of having finally invited everyone from Xiufang.And Shang Xiufang was invited to the appointment because the Longyou Gang has been doing business in an orderly manner for many years, no matter how famous it is, it has never bullied men and women, and it has never set foot in the rivers and lakes. It is a decent chamber of commerce organization.

Everyone in Hefei knew about this matter, Su Ye asked anyone casually, and they made it very clear.The mouth was frothing, and his words were full of envy. It was clear that Shang Xiufang hadn't arrived yet, so he just said that there was something in the sky, and there was nothing in the ground, and he didn't care that the person standing in front of him was a weird masked figure.

In fact, Zhai Rang Yijiu, the leader of the dragon, admired Shang Xiufang's name for a long time, and once said that if he had the opportunity, he would definitely invite her to his house for a visit.Zhai Rang's daughter, Zhai Jiao, was even more curious about her. If Shang Xiufang went to Xingyang and Wagang one day, she might have to climb there too.

What is even less known is that Shang Xiufang is inextricably linked with Li Yuan, the leader of the Li Clan, and Yue Shan, the elder of Shi Qingxuan.Shang Xiufang's mother, Mingyue, was once taken care of by Yue Shan, who loves her father and daughter.Li Yuan is Yue Shan's brother, and he often travels with Yue Shan when he was young.Later, Mingyue fell in love with the lustful Li Yuan, and ignored Yue Shan's warning to her, which made Yue Shan very unhappy.At the end of the matter, it seemed that she really had a falling out with Li Yuan, and she was very remorseful, regretting that she should not have listened to Yue Shan.

Su Ye had heard an inference in the past that Shang Xiufang was actually Li Yuansheng's daughter who was born outside, so there was also a word "Xiu" in her name, just like Miss Li Xiuning.And Yue Shan is the leader of the Dongming sect and the father of Dongming's wife Shan Meixian.If it is said that Shang Xiufang is also related to the Dongming faction, it seems that there is nothing unreasonable.

No matter what the truth is, there is no doubt that Shang Xiufang is both talented in color and art, has a great reputation, and has high attainments in various musical instruments and arts.Even in the troubled times, she was respected by others, few people would dare to think of her against the world.

After Su Ye listened to it, deep curiosity welled up in her heart, and she really wanted to hear Shang Xiufang's singing with her own ears.However, on the day of Zefu's birthday banquet, she ran rashly, fearing that she would be blocked outside, and she would not have the chance to talk to Ze Tianwen.If she wants to visit Zefu, it is best to choose Shang Xiufang before she arrives in Hefei.

The Shangqing Taoist Temple is in the west of the city, but Ze Tianwen's mansion and the site of the Longyou Gang are in the east of the city, on a flat, wide street that is cleaned daily.

Although Ze Tianwen and Ze Yue are not figures in the world, they understand the rules of the world very well.They were originally born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but did not live in Hefei. Because the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are places that must be contested by military strategists, they are either frightened to inquire about the news of the siege every day, or endure the expropriation and harassment from the victor. In order to avoid the war, they temporarily moved to the opposite side. In the peaceful city of Hefei, I will return to my hometown after the rebel army and the official army cease fighting.

After they came to Hefei, they hired more than a dozen martial artists and trained the guards of the mansion.Two or three of the martial artists are very tough, almost comparable to Shi Long who is known as the number one in Yangzhou.

Su Ye thought for a while, then walked over in an open and aboveboard manner, and reported his name to the gatekeeper.In addition to her real name, she also reported one of her official identities, that is, the envoy sent by Zhai Rang of the Wagang Army.

Zhai Rang's name is known to everyone, and it is even more like thunder in the ears of Jia Ding.They were dubious, but they didn't dare to wait any longer. They immediately invited her into the gate and sent someone to report to Ze Tianwen in the mansion.Ze Tianwen hadn't finished his lunch yet, when he heard that Zhai Rang sent someone to worship, he was more surprised than happy, put down the bowls and chopsticks, rushed to the door of the study to wait, and led her into the room himself.

Su Ye had seen the study rooms of several big men, most of them were hung with knives and swords, full of martial spirit.However, Ze Tianwen lived up to his name as a "Confucian businessman". The room was full of books and ledgers, as well as extremely detailed maps, which showed that he worked hard at ordinary times.

He himself looks like a gentle and elegant scholar, with a kind and thin face, which contrasts sharply with his sturdy son.Hefei is not far from Zhejiang, so the status of the Longyou Gang here is not low.But he didn't expect that when he moved to Hefei to avoid disaster, there would still be people visiting him, with doubts on his face.

Su Ye didn't want to hide her identity in front of him, because she represented the Wagang Army, not herself.After she was seated, when Ze Tianwen asked about the evidence, she took out two things from her sleeve, one was Zhai Rang's dragon pattern ring, and the other was Zhai Rang's specially cast Golden Dragon Token.The ring was aimed at his confidants, and the Golden Dragon Token was a keepsake for outsiders, both of which were extremely important.

After Ze Tianwen read it, he knew that the other party was unlikely to pretend to be Zhai Rang's subordinate, otherwise he would send someone to Wagang to ask.He believed most of it in his heart, but he asked: "Who is your Excellency the leader of the dragon?"

Su Ye replied with a real voice: "The adopted daughter."

The voice was crisp and tender, unusually beautiful, and had a cold air that ordinary girls didn't have.Ze Tianwen was startled, and subconsciously asked, "A foster daughter?"

Su Ye has made an agreement with Zhai Rang, if he wants to explain the relationship between them, he will use the words of righteous father and righteous daughter.Many people know that Zhai Rang only has one daughter, and his daughter is spoiled by him, arrogant and irritable, with no intentions, so it seems reasonable for him to adopt another child.

She reached out and took off the mask, revealing the face behind the mask.This face is still childish, but the eyes are like autumn water, the eyebrows are horizontal, the lines of the nose and chin are flawless, and the skin is extremely white and tender, which is bright and bright.Her clothes didn't match her appearance, but with this appearance, not many people would pay attention to her clothes.

Ze Tianwen was shocked not only by her beauty, but also by her age. He was shocked for a long time and said, "Is this true?"

Su Ye smiled and said: "The token and the ring are genuine. If you doubt it, why not ask the leader yourself. In fact, you don't have to think too much. I came this time to sign an agreement with the Longyou Gang. "

Ze Tianwen was stunned for a while, and finally asked subconsciously, "What agreement?"

She looks like this, it is really hard for people to take her words seriously.But her demeanor and temperament are very serious, and she has a mysterious charm all over her body, which makes up for her age.Ze Tianwen was still skeptical intellectually, but began to listen emotionally without knowing it.

Su Ye laughed and said, "The leader said that from then on, he wanted to hand over some of the Wagang Army's grain, building materials, weapon cloth, and all the goods involved in the rear of the front line to your gang for purchase and sale."

Ze Tianwen was shocked, but still had an amazing intuition about business, and said without thinking: "Wagang is closer to Luoyang, why don't you go to Boss Rong Fengxiangrong?"

Su Ye's smile deepened, he leaned forward, deliberately lowered his voice, and said in a low voice, "Because Boss Rong is a member of the Demon Sect, we dare not really trust him."

As soon as these words came out, Ze Tianwen was even more horrified than before.Although the Wagang army is troublesome, they focus on fighting east and west. At most, when cooperating with him, they ask their Longyou gang for a little advantage, so that there will be no unresolvable conflicts.For him, Rong Fengxiang's name is more resounding than Zhai Rang.In recent years, the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce has always had the feeling of invading south and wanting to master the trade in the south.He often thought in private, whether he was too suspicious and mistrusted him?

However, if Rong Fengxiang was really born in the Demon Sect, then his suspicion may not be an illusion.

The astonishment in his heart was too deep, and after thinking for a long time, he asked: "I still don't understand, why did Da Longtou take a fancy to us even though he knew that Rong Fengxiang was from a demon sect?"

Su Ye smiled slightly, and said in the same voice as before: "Because Mr. Anlong from Sichuan is also a member of the Demon Sect, so he is not trustworthy. The Song Clan has its own trade routes, and the three major gangs in the East China Sea have each found a backer. You see , we don’t seem to have much choice other than Guibang.”

An Long's identity is more hidden than Rong Fengxiang's.The vast majority of people think that he is just a fat man with a lot of money and mediocre martial arts, who has hired countless masters to guard the mansion, fearing that he will be killed by someone one day.Only those who have seen him face to face and who are well acquainted with the characteristics of the Demon Sect's martial arts can see his extraordinaryness.As a tycoon of the Chamber of Commerce, Ze Tianwen had met An Long before, but because of his lack of martial arts, he couldn't see anything wrong.

With Rong Fengxiang's lessons learned from the past, Anlong's news has a slightly less impact on him, but it is still very strong.He sat quietly in the chair, regardless of whether Su Ye was nine or ten years old, thinking over and over the significance of these two pieces of information to the Longyou Gang, his face became more and more serious.

He hoped that Su Ye was talking nonsense.If it was true, then one day Rong and An would not allow Long You to support the neutral position, and wanted to classify it as their own.Naturally, he didn't know that the relationship between the two was not very good, but he was keenly aware of the imminent crisis.

Su Ye stared at him, not letting go of the slightest emotional change on his face, and said for a long while: "The Gui Gang has never been involved in Jianghu affairs, and has always had a good reputation, and has no willingness to join forces with the Demon Sect. Excellent partner. The Demon Sect has been lurking for a long time, intending to become a blockbuster in troubled times. Sooner or later, there will be a conflict with us. Rather than being in a hurry at that time, it is better to find friends who have nothing to do with the Demon Sect as soon as possible, are you right?"

Ze Tianwen actually believed what she said, because she didn't put forward any conditions that would be harmful to the Longyou Gang, but just revealed the real identity of others to him.

He hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Miss came here today only for these two matters? I'm afraid I will have to discuss with Quan Zi and the elders of the chamber of commerce before I can make a decision."

Su Ye smiled and said, "If you don't mind, I would like to keep my face until Xiufang and everyone perform their performances, so I can take the opportunity to feast my eyes."
