Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 832 Departure Yuanxian County

Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the cave, closing her eyes to practice, when the storage bag on her waist suddenly shook.

He opened his eyes and took out the formation plate, pointed at it, took the talisman into his hand, and then flashed out of the cave.

Outside the thick fog, a man with a fair complexion stood upright. Tang Ning stepped in front of him and bowed to salute, "Master Xu is here. I didn't arrive too far to welcome you. Forgive me."

The person who came was none other than Xu Mengyuan.

"Brother Tang, you don't need to be polite, there are no outsiders here, so we don't need to care about these cumbersome etiquettes."

"Brother Xu, please come in."

Xu Mengyuan waved his hand: "No, I'm here to invite you to visit Yuanxian County. I wonder if brother Tang is free?"

Upon hearing this, Tangning immediately thought of the last conversation between the two of them, so she asked, "Could it be that Master Bai Jintang's uncle has taken office in Yuanxian County?"

"That's right, half a year ago, Master Bai had successfully selected the position of the direct deputy captain of the column. I had long wanted to go to visit with Brother Tang, but unfortunately I was too busy with mundane affairs to be free. I had nothing to do recently, so I thought about going to visit. What do you think, Brother Tang?"

"Okay, I wonder when we start to leave?"

Tangning had no choice but to pay a visit to Bai Jintang.

"Brother Tang, if there is no urgent matter to deal with, let's set off now!"

"I have to say hello to Uncle Yu of our team first. The day after tomorrow is the time for discussion. It's not good to be absent for no reason."

"In that case, I will go with you."

The two of them jumped up and came to Yugan's cave in a short time. Xu Mengyuan flipped over in his hand and handed Zhang Fulu in.

Not long after, he saw a ray of light shooting out from within, showing the figure of Yu Gan. He smiled all over his face, glanced at Tangning, and said to Xu Mengyuan Jishou, "No wonder I'm always restless today. It turns out that there is a distinguished guest." Come, Junior Brother Xu, it's been a long time, how can I have time to visit my humble house today?"

Xu Meng Yuanji returned the salute first: "To be honest, I came with brother Tang. The two of us are going to Yuanxian County for a while, so he wants to take a leave of absence from Senior Brother Yu. I have nothing to do, so I will accompany him. Come to pay a visit to Senior Brother Yu."

"Hey! It's a little trivial, why bother to make a special trip! Tangning, from now on, you don't need to report such things. Since you are here, go to the mansion first and have a cup of tea before leaving."

"Yes." Tangning naturally couldn't refuse Yu Gan's words, and the two of them were not in a hurry to leave, so they nodded in response.

The three of them entered his cave, and seated guests and hosts in the room. Yu Gan asked, "The two of you must have something important to do when you go to Yuanxian County this time! But Master Fang has something to say?"

Xu Mengyuan didn't answer, and lightly sipped the tea in the white jade porcelain cup. Tangning responded, "Uncle Xu invited his disciples to Yuanxian County this time to pay a visit to his wife and uncle Bai Jintang. Since then, the two of us have never paid a visit, recently, Master Xu is free, so he invites his disciples to go together."

Yu Gan nodded and said, "I see. I'm ashamed to say that I don't know anything about the personnel changes in the column. When did Captain Bai take office?"

Xu Mengyuan put down the teacup in his hand: "About half a year ago! My teacher and Uncle Bai are close friends, and I have visited him several times. This time he is appointed as the deputy captain of the column. We juniors have to visit him. "

Yu Gandao: "Although I have heard about Master Bai's name, it is a pity that I have never seen his face. I never thought that he would serve in the column of the headquarters. If there is a chance, I will visit him next time."

"Senior Brother Yu, Brother Tang and I are family friends, and our tutor and Brother Tang are also old acquaintances. He needs you to take care of him in your team!"

"This is a matter of my duty, not to mention that Master Huang also mentioned it, I know what to do, so don't worry, Junior Brother Xu."

"Senior Brother Yu's tea has a special taste, I don't know where it came from?"

Yu Gan smiled and said: "This is the spiritual tea made by a cultivating family in Longhua City. Someone gave me some. This tea is bitter in the mouth and gradually turns sweet. It really has a special flavor. I am reluctant to serve it to ordinary people. Xu Junior Brother, if you like it, you can bring some back later."

"Then thank you, Senior Brother Yu."

The two chatted for about a quarter of an hour, Xu Mengyuan got up and said: "We have to rush to Yuanxian County, don't bother Brother Yu Qingxiu, and come to visit next time."

"Okay, I'll see Junior Brother Xu off." Yu Qian also got up and said, the three of them left the cave.

"Tangning, you are accompanying Junior Brother Xu to call on Senior Uncle Bai this time, and you will stay in Yuanxian County for a while. Anyway, it is a rare trip for you to go out. You don't need to be in such a hurry to come back. There is no urgent matter in the team. This year's task should be entrusted to you. , I still wait for you to come back and deal with it, so you can go with Junior Brother Xu at ease!"

"Thank you, uncle."

"Senior brother Yu, I'm leaving." Xu Mengyuan said, and the two of them turned into escape lights and soared into the sky.

Yu Gan looked at the backs of the two people who disappeared, the smile on his face gradually faded, his brows were slightly wrinkled, he stroked his chin in thought for a while, then turned and went back to the cave.

………………

The two escaped all the way, and came to a Wutong Pavilion in the inner city. As soon as they entered the inner room, a beautiful woman greeted her: "Senior Xu, you are here."

"Is Fellow Daoist Yang here? Take me to see him."

"Yes." The woman nodded in response, leading the two to a room on the third floor of the attic, and knocked on the stone door.

"Come in." A rough voice came from inside.

The woman pushed open the door and entered, and there was a bearded man sitting cross-legged on the futon inside. Seeing the three of them coming, he waved to the woman, stood up with a smile on his face and said, "Friend Xu is here, what's your order?"

Hearing this, Tang Ning kept her expression calm, but she was slightly taken aback in her heart. The man was obviously at the middle stage of Yuanying, and his cultivation was far higher than Xu Mengyuan's.

However, the respect he showed to Xu Mengyuan was extraordinary, as if Xu Mengyuan was the owner of this place, and he just spoke as he was told, obviously the relationship between the two was not simple.

"Yang Daoyou, we are going to Yuanxian County, you can arrange it." Xu Mengyuan also said bluntly.

"Okay, I'll check it right away." The man surnamed Yang took out a few files from the desk, flipped through them and replied, "Ten days later, a Fengling boat will set off for Yuanxian County. What do you think?"

"That's it! Anyway, we are not in a hurry, Brother Tang, let me introduce you, this is Yang An, the head of the Property Management Pavilion here. If you need to go out to take a merchant ship, you can find him That's enough." Xu Mengyuan said, "Young Daoist Yang, this is Tang Ning, a disciple from our headquarters. The master specially brought him here from the column, and he is one of us."

"Fellow Daoist Tang, if you need anything in the future, just ask for it. This is our own shop, so you don't have to be polite." Yang An immediately expressed his opinion.

"Thank you, Senior Yang." Tangning heard the conversation between the two, and had vaguely guessed the relationship between the two, and replied calmly.

"Yang Daoyou, then we will go there first, and you will send someone to remind us when the time comes."

"Okay, come here." Yang An shouted.

The woman outside opened the door and entered, saluted and said, "What's your order, Senior Yang?"

"Take two fellow Taoists to the backyard to rest."

"Yes, the two seniors, please follow me."

The two left the room, turned around the hall, and came to a courtyard behind. Not long after, someone brought spirit wine, food and others.

"Brother Xu, who is this Fellow Daoist Yang? He doesn't seem to be a disciple of our sect?" Tangning asked after the two had a drink.

Xu Mengyuan smiled slightly: "Although they are not disciples of the sect, they are all old divisions who have followed the master for many years. They belong to the recruiting disciples of the alliance and help the master take care of the private property of the alliance."

"I see." Tangning nodded, which was consistent with his guess. These people should be monks secretly recruited by Fang Dasheng to take care of some shady private properties for him full-time: "It must be that Master Fang's uncle owns more than It must be the property of Wutongge!"

Among the [-] pavilion cities under Xuantang City, Taixuanzong occupies countless cultivation resources within the jurisdiction. Just a little bit of leakage at the fingertips is a huge fortune. Fang Dasheng has been the captain of the regiment for so many years. I don't believe it.

Xu Mengyuan said: "This is only for you, brother Tang. Don't reveal it to the outside world. Although it is an open secret, it will not have a good influence after all. I don't know the exact number of shops, attics, and gambling houses in the city. But As far as I know, not only in the city, but also in some of the subordinate pavilion cities that have our property."

"Are these the personal belongings of Uncle Fang, or do they belong to the alliance?"

"You are too high on the family teacher. Although he has been the captain of the alliance for so long, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand. Which one of the stewards of the alliance has no background? Which one is easy to deal with? If he is really like this Do it, I'm afraid I'll go to jail long ago."

"What about this property management pavilion? Is it also the private property of the alliance?"

"This is rather special. Although it is not the private property of the alliance, Supervisor Hao and Vice Captain Sima both participated in the operation. It can be regarded as the attic opened by the family teacher and them in partnership!"

Tang Ning understood that Fang Dasheng probably wanted to shut up other people's mouths, or because they were jealous and jealous, so he recruited them into the group and gave them a share of the profits. Fang Dasheng should have the bulk of the money, otherwise Fang Dasheng would not have recruited them all. My confidant is taking care of it.

"Shops and lofts like this should be quite a few!"

Xu Mengyuan didn't answer directly: "It doesn't matter how much it is! Anyway, it is not the property of the tutor alone, and several other members of the alliance also participate. Although the tutor is in charge of it, the profits are shared by everyone."

"These things are simple to say, and complicated to say that the key is to get through the relationship inside, and to manage the upper and lower levels, not only within the alliance, but also some people above. Except for the family teacher, no one in the alliance has this ability. Settle these, so only he can take care of it."
