Chapter 1105: The Five Managers of Tongtian Chamber of Commerce
There was another big fight and curse.
Only after Yu Huanglian calmed herself down did she change her expression again. She looked at Yue Taigong with a pleading look and said:
"Uncle Yue, you are the only one who can help me now."
Yue Taigong sighed.
He has watched Yu Huanglian grow up since she was a child. In the past, it was because of her willful and capricious behavior that Yu Wushi had to arrange for her to fake her death and become invisible. In the following few years, she has indeed become a lot more mature.
Especially when he knew that the reason his mother married his father was a love affair planned by the previous Emperor Xuan.
It also ushered in a transformation.
She hated her mother, and hated the Great Xuan Dynasty even more. She might even hate Yu Wusi for forcing her to live her life wearing a mask from then on.
And he gradually began to become silent.
In Yue Taigong's view, this is the price of growth and also a necessary condition for becoming the new King of Wuwei.
Not showing one's emotions on face or expressing one's emotions in words is a basic skill for a leader of a force. From the outside, Yu Huanglian, who has been able to successfully hide her identity for such a long time, has done this perfectly.
Only when she is in private with others will her true nature as a little girl be revealed.
In fact, when he first saw Yu Huanglian's rather spoiled and willful side, Yue Taigong thought that this was the other party's trust in him, but gradually he discovered that Yu Huanglian had not grown in the right direction over the years.
She hid herself deeply because she was afraid of death.
Because of fear, his increasingly unruly character can be suppressed.
But from the moment when the Wuwei Palace completely drew a line between itself and the Daxuan Dynasty, her nature began to gradually become more prominent, until she learned of Yu Wushi's death, which seemed to completely remove a layer of shackles from her.
Yue Taigong did not doubt the other party's determination to avenge Yu Wushi, but human emotions and personalities are inherently complex.
Just like himself, although he witnessed the other party making stupid decisions again and again, as a subject, all he could do was to make timely amends for his monarch. Even in the increasingly chaotic situation at present, he could only unswervingly support the other party to become the new King of Wuwei.
Because this was the last task Yu Wushi assigned to him.
Then Yue Taigong took a deep breath and said:
"We need to have more power. I will take care of the military. Now you need to seize the forces in Wuwei City."
"Uncle, are you referring to Shanqing Huang family and Qinglong Pavilion?" Yu Huanglian fell into deep thought.
Yue Taigong nodded and said:
"As the new King of Wuwei, Qinglong Pavilion needs you to take action personally. The other party is a force that has just been integrated into the northern border. Although it is fully supported by the Third Prince, evil ways are still evil ways."
"I understand." Yu Huanglian thought about it and smiled confidently.
“As for the Huang family, Huang Yaoshi is very close to the Third Prince, but he is only Huang Shang’s cousin. Even Huang Shang, the clan leader, cannot fully represent the Huang family in making this important decision. If there are no new twists and turns, it would be a good thing for them to continue to stand neutral.
However, the Third Princess has sufficient financial resources. In addition to the No. 1 Manor in the World and the Seven Star Tower, which she founded, she also holds a key person.
The financial resources and extensive network of contacts this person has need to be supplemented by the Huang family."
"That fat pig who is a traitor and blinded by lust!" Yu Huanglian's face was filled with resentment.
She knew that Yue Taigong was talking about Wan Sanqian, who had joined the Tongtian Chamber of Commerce as a representative of the Wuwei Palace and was now one of the five shopkeepers.
[Wan Sanqian, from "The Number One Under Heaven", is a wealthy man who is capable of rivaling a country. He does not like fame and often travels around under an alias to play around in life. He is elusive and has been using carrier pigeons to communicate with his subordinates. No one knows what he looks like, let alone how much money he has.
In order to win over the hearts of the people for the purpose of rebellion, he established the "Number One Manor" to recruit extraordinary people from all over the world, but he had never seen Shangguan Haitang. He always carried a treasure box with him, and whenever he had a problem, he would take out gold coins from the box and ask someone to solve it. He was rich and powerful, and had great connections. I personally guess that he had helped famous people, outlaws, and skilled craftsmen (in major financial difficulties) many times.
After he met Haitang, he regarded her as his "lucky star and ideal partner" and pursued her relentlessly. As long as Haitang said that she hated someone, he would send someone to kill that person, which made Haitang very annoyed.
Later, he forced Haitang to marry him on the condition of rescuing Tianya and Cheng Shifei and settling Yidao's murder. Before the wedding, he became jealous of Yidao and Haitang's heartfelt confession and sent someone to follow Yidao and kill Yidao's mother.
Later, because Tiedan Shenhou ordered Liusheng Piaoxu to kill Haitang secretly, he was furious. In a fit of rage, he went to Hulong Villa alone with the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi to denounce Shenhou, expressed his break with him, and burned all the food and weapons of Shenhou's army, intending to make him accomplish nothing within three years.
However, the God of War killed his bodyguards, the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi, in a rage. With no other options, in order to save his life, Wan Sanqian wanted to threaten the God of War with a treasure chest to let him go. Unexpectedly, the God of War had secretly ordered Yagyu Tajima to secretly follow Wan Sanqian and successfully found Wan Sanqian's treasure chest in the Begonia Tomb. In the end, because he was no longer useful, he was killed by the ambitious God of War, and his body was also taken away to feed the dogs. A generation of rich people died. 】
The reason why Yu Huanglian abused the other party so much was because Wan Sanqian was Yu Haitang's pursuer and a loyal and selfless licker.
Before the two of them awakened their destiny bodies, Wan Sanqian fell in love with Yu Haitang at first sight. After awakening their destiny bodies, he was unstoppable. The reason why he was able to establish the number one manor in the world was indeed because of the other party's strong support.
Even though Yu Haitang had rejected the other party long ago, Wan Sanqian could always find reasons to make the other party accept his kindness.
Later, with the help of Qin Fan, Yu Haitang unilaterally cut off the fate of her double destiny body, but the influence of other people's emotional tribulation on her remained.
That is why even if Yu Huanglian cleaned herself up and sent herself to bed, it would be difficult for her to recruit the Fifth Manager, who had been secretly supporting the military expenditures of the Wuwei Palace for many years. As the money bag of the Wuwei Palace, his influence was in all aspects.
Therefore, Yue Taigong's words just now obviously took into account that it would be difficult to win over Manager Wan and there was a high possibility that they would become enemies in the future. Therefore, he had to let the Huang family replace the other party as a preparation.
"Uncle Yue, which direction should we start with for the Huang family?"
Right after scolding Wan Sanqian, Yu Huanglian changed her expression in a second, with an admiring and pleading look that made Yue Taigong sigh helplessly.
After a few seconds of silence, the other party said:
"The first favor, can I use it here?"
Yu Huanglian was a little confused, and then she heard a crackling sound coming from the corner of the hall, which was very harsh.
This made her shiver, and she subconsciously shrank behind Yue Taigong until the clicking sound disappeared and a strange voice sounded.
Its tone is like the faint sadness and tenacity left after experiencing countless storms. It is also like the autumn wind, which carries a hint of desolation but also a quiet power.
"Have you figured it out?"
"Yeah." Yue Taigong said in a deep voice.
"Little girl, take this broken sword and go to the Huang family to find the Huang formation diagram. For my sake, he will protect you for a while, but whether you can convince the entire Huang family to help you depends on your ability."
Then with a whoosh, a broken sword was nailed to the ground in front of Yue Taigong.
Yu Huanglian blinked, walked forward and carefully pulled out the broken sword. Looking at the serrations on the sword, she had some guesses in her mind.
Then she turned her gaze to Yue Taigong and saw that Yue Taigong nodded slightly.
She first bowed respectfully towards the corner of the hall, then left the mansion, preparing to meet Young Master Yu first, and then rush to Shanqing Territory overnight.
Outside this mansion, there was a man in black guarding.
He is Fu Hongxue, who is currently ranked Geng in Wuwang Pavilion.
Previously, he was a spy sent by Yu Haitang to infiltrate Yu Canglan's army, and he successfully aroused Yu Canglan's vigilance against Yu Huanglian, which also led to Yu Canglan's death.
And because Jellyfish Yin Ji was also present when he raised reasonable doubts, the two of them became partners in keeping the same secret.
It was also this key factor that forced Xuanwu Lou to join Yu Huanglian after he surrendered to her and became a little traitor again.
But on the other hand, his destined body has some entanglement with Gongzi Yu, and in the other party's view, he was the one who found himself first and brought him under Yu Haitang's command, so Gongzi Yu thought that Fu Hongxue was his subordinate first.
But in fact, as early as the time when he was the number one manor in the world, he had become one of the masters privately recruited by Yu Haitang. The other party cured his lameness and the sudden epilepsy after the awakening of his destiny body.
This makes Fu Hongxue's identity very complicated.
His real direct superior is only Yu Haitang, but in Gongzi Yu's view, he is a subordinate he has trained and discovered. And now in Yu Huanglian's view, he has also successfully recruited him. On the other hand, Jellyfish Yin Ji feels that she has a close relationship with him, and they can be considered to be on the same stable front.
In short, Fu Hongxue knew that his identity as a traitor was certain, so he put in a little more effort and monitored everyone involved.
Of course, there is also a ranking in his heart: Yu Haitang > Gongzi Yu > Jellyfish Yin Ji > Yu Huang Lian.
Now the most outstanding one is going to take him to visit the second-best one, so he naturally has to notify the other party first.
At the same time, Yu Huanglian's promises continued to reach his ears.
For this, just listen casually.
Yu Huanglian didn't care that the other person always had a cold face, because she knew that Fu Hongxue was just that kind of person.
But after he said that he would let the other party become the deputy leader, the expression under the mask suddenly became much gloomier.
"Geng, do you think there are other people among the ten heavenly stems of Wuwang Pavilion who can be used by me?"
Fu Hongxue was silent.
Yu Huanglian seemed to understand the other party's silence, but the sound of grinding teeth could be heard from under her mask.
"Haha, haha, damn bitch, useless trash"
Fu Hongxue continued to pretend that he didn't hear anything, but Yu Huanglian felt a surge of anger for no reason.
She even began to resent Yu Wushi for assigning her this useless position as Wuwang Pavilion A.
Because even as the acting Pavilion Master now, she cannot command anyone. Even Fu Hongxue was only successfully recruited for her own use with the recommendation of Jellyfish Yin Ji.
In fact, she could understand the arrangement her father made for her at the beginning.
The second-ranked Yi Yan Yuxin is the barrier that blocks all challengers.
The previous third-ranked person, the little old man Wu Ming, is the key figure that he can truly borrow and thus control the entire Wuwang Pavilion in one fell swoop.
And it was these two people that she just scolded.
Needless to say, she would never give a good face to a woman who was obviously thinking about her father.
As for the latter, as a key figure, she was so useless that she was trapped in the Ghost Market first. Later, when she learned about the other party, she confirmed that he had died in the first wave of the rat tide, which also led to the complete collapse of her chance to fully control the Wuwang Pavilion.
"Breathe. Exhale. Exhale."
Then, when they arrived at the branch of Qinglong Pavilion in Wuwei City, Yu Huanglian had adjusted her mood, and under the guidance of a Qinglong Pavilion disciple, she went directly to find Gongzi Yu who had been waiting for a long time.
When entering the branch, Gongzi Yu first exchanged glances with Fu Hongxue inadvertently, and then began to receive Yu Huanglian more enthusiastically.
On the other side, after Yu Huanglian left.
Yue Taigong looked at the burly old man who was chewing his food with a sword in his hand.
After noticing Yue Taigong's gaze, the old man put down the half-eaten sword, shook his head and said:
"Your favor won't allow me to persuade my disciple to sacrifice the entire Huang family, and she..."
Thinking of Yu Huanglian's performance in this hall just now, the old man said no more.
Because he had already said everything he could to this old friend hundreds of times, he respected the other party's choice, and that was all.
Then Yue Taigong asked:
"Are you sure you can handle Ximen Chuxue and Yu Gucheng?"
"If it's one-on-one, I can stop them, but it's hard to say who will win." The old man said solemnly, "If it's one-on-two, I will definitely lose, but I am also very confident that I can seriously injure one of them. After all, the ancestor is Sui Xiegu!"
[Sui Xiegu, from "The Snowy Swordsman", is a survivor of the Great Chu and one of the strongest swordsmen. He likes to eat swords and has swallowed countless famous swords into his stomach, earning him the title of "The Sword Eater". In the battle against Li Chungang's Two-Sleeved Green Snake, whose power was still at its peak, they exchanged a sword and an arm.
He once borrowed Xu Fengnian's sword, leaving a sword intent on the sword, and killed Han Diao Si. When he entered Wudi City, his sword was taken by Wang Xianzhi's four disciples. Later, he fought with Deng Tai'a, and then lost to Xu Fengnian. He loved Tan Taiping for 80 years.
In the Liangmang War, the eighteen masters outside the Jubei City jointly resisted the foreign enemies. As one of the eighteen masters, Sui Xiegu was full of killing intent, and anyone who came within twenty feet of him would die. Later, he completely poured the sword intent he had accumulated for a hundred years into two sword formations. Then the sword formation killed gods and Buddhas, and thousands of enemy cavalry died.
However, this attack, which condensed Sui Xiegu's lifelong sword will, also exhausted him. 】
As he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly looked outside the door, and sword intent surged around him, which only completely subsided after a minute. This also caused Yue Taigong to look at him in confusion.
"what happened?"
"I just felt a familiar sword intent."
"familiar?"
"Yes, it is Yu Gucheng's sword intent. With his strength, there are not many people in Wuwei City who can cause him to burst out with sword intent, but this sword intent quickly subsided. It's strange. Old Ancestor, go and see what's going on."
Sui Xiegu picked up the half-eaten sword and stuffed it all into his stomach with a few crunches.
The figure flashed and disappeared completely into the darkness.
