Nine swords

Ye Gucheng is in a good mood. His confidants have taken over the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, which means that the entire Baiyun City no longer has to worry about money.

In fact, Baiyun City was already quite wealthy, and the pearls, corals, and fresh fish in Baiyun City were the best, but none of them belonged to Ye Gucheng.Ye Gucheng discovered very early on that although he had a high status in Baiyun City, he didn't really have much money and power under his control - because the original Ye Gucheng didn't care much about these.

But now Ye Gucheng obviously cares: having power but not using it is the same as piling up money but not spending it—meaningless.So he spent a lot of effort, selecting his confidants and checking and balancing each other, and finally became the veritable Lord of Baiyun City.

But this is still not enough, no one would think too much money, especially Ye Gucheng.

Because Baiyun City on Feixian Island is far away overseas, and out of reach of the Central Plains rivers and lakes, the people in Baiyun City can only sell the best pearls and corals to the shops in the Central Plains, and then resell them from these shops-the difference in price , in Ye Gucheng's words, that's... a trick!What is a profiteer?These jewelry sellers are all profiteers among profiteers: and the Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion, which is known as the most jewels in the world, is the leader of profiteers.

So in fact, the reason why Ye Gucheng rescued Yan Tieshan at that time was also for a purpose, because he originally wanted to rely on this kindness to cooperate with Zhuguang Baoqi Pavilion.

Ye Gucheng had a goal from the very beginning, which was to build Feixian Island into a real fairyland on earth—although he thought it would be tiring to rebel and become emperor, it was more than enough to manage Feixian Island.Besides, Feixian Island is basically like an island country, with rich products and a superior geographical location.Therefore, as long as Feixian Island can be prosperous and prosperous, Ye Gucheng's life will definitely be much more comfortable than being an emperor.

Ye Gucheng is a smart person. It is not too difficult to achieve his goals. After all, the foundation of Baiyun City Lord is very good: in the future, he will have money, land, people, and fame. So many things... what a wonderful life that is!Of course, if you can still find a beautiful man you like to accompany you, then life will be perfect.

But then Gong Jiu killed Yan Tieshan...Ye Gucheng understood at that time, Gong Jiu also took a fancy to this piece of fat: maybe even the conspiracy of the Great Jinpeng Dynasty could not do without Gong Jiu's help.

After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Gucheng also contributed to the flames - there is no doubt that although Gong Jiu is a little perverted, he is still very good to him, and no matter what purpose Gong Jiu has, it is obviously better to cooperate with Gong Jiu It would be more pleasant to cooperate with an old fox like Yan Tieshan who has become a human being in business.

But Ye Gucheng really didn't expect that Gong Jiuhui would be so generous that he would just give him the Jewelry Pavilion? !This can't help but make Ye Gucheng suspect: Gong Jiu, a pervert, can't really fall in love with him... Could it be that this world is really fantasy? !

Speaking of which, although Gong Jiu had confessed his love to Ye Gucheng before, and Ye Gucheng had a good impression of Gong Jiu because of his "insufficient resistance to beauty", but Ye Gucheng was a very rational person in essence. This kind of abnormality that cannot be deduced by common sense... always brought some precautions and distrust.

Ye Gucheng intends to find a beautiful man who suits his heart to accompany him for the rest of his life, but Gong Jiu obviously "not so" suits him, but...Ye Gucheng has to admit that staying with Gong Jiu is still very happy, and it is also There are big advantages to take advantage of... So Ye Gucheng wants to keep the relationship between the two of them in a "safe range": he has to hit a certain pervert from time to time, so that he doesn't want to think too much... What is the pervert's beauty? Yes, it’s okay to appreciate it, but if you really want something, Ye Gucheng feels a lot of pressure.

But recently Ye Gucheng has gradually discovered that Gong Jiu seems to be a little serious, jealous or something, should it be so obvious? !Ye Gucheng felt it was funny, and he hesitated in his heart, so he couldn't help but want to see Gong Jiu change his face—in fact, Ye Gucheng really thought about Ximen Chuuxue, and he may not have the intention of observing more when he went to Wanmei Villa... ...But in all fairness, based on Ye Gucheng's understanding of himself, if he really wants to be with Ximen Chuuxue...the pressure will be greater than being with Gong Jiu!Every day I tremble with fear and don't say anything, maybe one day Ximen Chuuxue will have a duel with him when he encounters a bottleneck in his kendo.

Therefore, Ye Gucheng became entangled and swayed, so he simply decided to go to Wanmei Villa and compare Gong Jiu and Ximen Chuuxue together, wouldn't it be clear at a glance!

It's a pity that Gong Jiu didn't know what Ye Gucheng was thinking, but he was pissed off by him... As for the person whom Young Master Jiu likes, who would be as "difficult" as Ye Gucheng?Gong Jiu thought angrily, he was seriously injured twice for Ye Gucheng, gave away a jeweled pavilion, and lost countless smiling faces, but this iceberg showed no sign of melting at all... On the contrary, it was with another iceberg Iceberg sticky? !It really doesn't make sense.

So Gong Jiu pitifully "begged" Ye Gucheng to wait for him to "heal his injury" before going to Wanmei Villa——Ximen Chuuxue's military strength is not bad, and it's too much for Young Master Jiu to go into battle with injuries...

Fortunately, Ye Gucheng was still soft-hearted towards Gong Jiu, so he said to wait for Gong Jiu to recover before setting off. After all, Gong Jiu was seriously injured twice during this period, no matter how perverted he is, he can’t handle it. Ye Gucheng is not unkind Yes, after all... Cannibals are short of mouth but short of hands.

Little did he know that Gong Jiucai pretended to be pitiful in front of Ye Gucheng, begging for delay, turned around and went to meet other people... In fact, he delayed to meet these two people: these two people are Zhang Yingfeng and Yan Renying.

Of the three heroes and four talents of the Emei School, Su Shaoying was the first to die under the sword of Ximen Chuuxue, Shi Xiuyun died of Feiyan needle, Ma Xiuzhen was killed by Ye Xiuzhu who fell in love with Huo Tianqing, and Ye Xiuzhu herself was killed by Shangguan Feiyan There are only three people left alive.But Sun Xiuqing was already in Wanmei Villa, and Zhang Yingfeng and Yan Renying were the only ones who wanted to avenge their master.

"Master Ninth? You are Lu Xiaofeng's friend, what do you want us to do?!" Yan Renying's temper was already a little anxious, and the Emei faction had such a big change in such a short period of time, so he saw Gong Jiu shouted out.

Zhang Yingfeng was obviously more stable, he quickly grabbed Yan Renying, and apologized: "Ninth Young Master, please don't take offense, my junior brother is just short-tempered, and he grieves at the death of his master, there is absolutely no malice..."

Gong Jiu smiled lightly, and said gently: "It's okay, of course I can understand the feelings of the two of you." After speaking, he became serious, and said seriously: "But I have to declare that although I am Lu Xiaofeng's friend, I am not It means that I am also Ximen Fuxue's friend."

Yan Renying was startled, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Gong Jiu raised the corner of her mouth and asked back: "In the eyes of you two, is your enemy Lu Xiaofeng or Ximen Chuuxue?"

Yan Renying said bitterly: "Ximen Chuuxue killed Shaoying first and then Master. Of course our enemy is him!"

"Oh," Gong Jiu nodded with a clear face, and said, "Then you two think... is it possible for you to avenge this great revenge?"

Now even Zhang Yingfeng's face changed, he gritted his teeth and said, "We know that we are not good enough, but even if we have to practice hard for another ten or twenty years...we will never give up if we don't take revenge!"

Gong Jiu clapped his hands, praised: "Ambition," and then struck down: "However, with Ximen Chuuxue's qualifications and hard work, after ten or twenty years, the gap between you and him will only be even greater."

Seeing that Yan Renying was about to get angry again, Zhang Yingfeng hurriedly said: "Then I don't know what advice Jiu Gongzi has?" Gong Jiu said with a smile: "Advice is not counted, I just want to give you two a clear way."

Zhang Yingfeng looked solemn, and said: "Please explain in detail?" Gong Jiu said proudly: "The way of understanding is that you two will do things for me from now on."

Yan Renying sneered and said, "Ninth Young Master, you are very arrogant. Although you are rich, you may not be able to hire us Emei Sanying! Besides, can you still deal with Ximen Chuuxue?"

Gong Jiu raised her head with her hands behind her back, smiled conceitedly, and said: "There is no one I can't afford to invite in this world, but now I am not inviting you, but you are here to invite me." Seeing that Zhang Yingfeng and Yan Renying were confused , Gong Jiu also stopped being a fool, and said: "It is not difficult for me to deal with Ximen Chuuxue. Not to mention that my martial arts are not inferior to him. Besides, I still have countless money and manpower. If I really If he dies, he will never live." But Gong Jiu smiled and asked back: "But why should I deal with Ximen Chuuxue? It is not me who has hatred against him, but you."

Yan Renying said sneeringly: "Isn't martial arts inferior to Ximen Chuuxue? You..." Before he could finish speaking, Gong Jiu snapped his fingers together and rushed towards him.Yan Renying was startled, and wanted to draw out his sword to resist, but before he could draw out the sword, Gong Jiu's fingers had already pressed down on the side of his neck... Yan Renying's face turned pale.Zhang Yingfeng quickly apologized and begged for mercy, Gong Jiu snorted and stopped.

At this time, Zhang Yingfeng also understood a little bit, and said: "So... the ninth son means that we will help you with things, and you will help us deal with Ximen Chuuxue?"

"Tsk tsk," Gong Jiu smiled and shook his head and said, "You probably think too much of Emei Sanying's signboard. Can your value be compared with Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuuxue?"

Yan Renying frowned and said, "Then what do you mean?"

Gong Jiu pouted, and said with a proud smile: "Anyone who is willing to do things for me knows that Mr. Jiu is very generous, money, beauties, and even martial arts skills, as long as what he does is worth the price, he can do whatever he wants. Naturally, it also includes revenge." As he spoke, he stared at Zhang and Yan with burning eyes, and said, "It's your honor that the Ninth Young Master likes your strength. As for when I will help you deal with Ximen Chuuxue , depends on your performance - it's up to me to decide, not you."

Yan Renying laughed back angrily, and said: "It's ridiculous! Since you are so good, why don't you just kill us and want us to be your lackeys? Hmph! Brother, let's go!"

Gong Jiu sneered and said, "Go? Where are you going? Go back to the Emei Sect? Don't blame me for not reminding you that Emei is now my property." The elders of the Emei Sect are naturally stronger than these two stunned youths. There are many acquaintances, once Dugu Yihe died, Gong Jiu used some tricks, and the Emei faction succeeded.

Both Zhang and Yan froze on the spot.Gong Jiu put on a gentle smile again, and said: "Both of you are young talents, good birds choose trees to live in, you should understand this truth."

In the end, Zhang Yingfeng and Yan Renying succumbed to Gong Jiu's "both soft and hard"... Afterwards, they will be sent to a special place for training, and then they will completely forget the so-called pride of Emei Sanying, and become Gong Jiu's eagle dogs—like this Gong Jiu has quite a few subordinates, all of whom are young people with high talents but a little lack of brains... This is really a profitable business...

Before going to Wanmei Villa, Gong Jiu also went to meet Shaman who was also undergoing training.The person who trained her was one of Gong Jiu's most capable subordinates, Ruan Hongxia who was in charge of the brothel Chu Guan in Gong Jiu's industry, and was called "Matchmaker" by people in the Jianghu - under her hands, all the strong girls could become prostitutes.woman, slut.Even a woman can become a lady, and the most stupid woman will know how to please a man, listen to news and even assassinate, so what about Sharman?Sharman was a very intelligent woman.

But like Shaman, Gong Jiu will not spoil her easily—although she has old hatred from her previous life, Gong Jiu doesn't like to waste it.With Sharman's aptitude, it would be great to be trained to work for him.Moreover, Shaman still has a good impression of Gong Jiu at this time, although this kind of favor cannot guarantee permanent loyalty, but Gong Jiu doesn't believe in loyalty, what he believes in is profit.

Anyone can be pulled into the same chariot as long as there is a stake.

As Gong Jiu's property grows, he needs more talents, even those who have betrayed him in the previous life, Gong Jiu can still use them, and Shaman is just one of them.In fact, as long as you take precautions, will Gong Jiu still fall in the same pit?Besides, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to kill them after draining them of their usefulness than to kill them at the beginning?It is wrong to waste, especially to waste talents.

Make the best use of things and make the best use of people, this is the philosophy of Jiu Gongzi.

It was a sunny day, and a luxurious carriage stopped at the gate of Wanmei Villa.Gong Jiu and Ye Gucheng got out of the carriage and looked at this well-known Zhuangzi in Jianghu.

But obviously, it is not this Zhuangzi who is rich and famous, but the owner of Zhuangzi.It is a great honor for the master to greet him at the door, especially since the master is Ximen Chuuxue.

Ye Gucheng is the only one who can make Ximen Chuixue come out to greet him in person.

Similar white clothes, similar coldness, and similar swords.When Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue stood together, it seemed that there were only these two people and two swords left in the world.

Gong Jiu really hated this feeling.So he suddenly stepped forward, put his arm on Ye Gucheng's shoulder, and then greeted Ye Gucheng in a casual tone: "Master Ximen, I have been admiring you for a long time!"

The jaws of the butlers and servants of Wanmei Villa who accompanied the owner to greet the distinguished guests nearly dropped their jaws to the ground.

Because Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuuxue should be the same kind of person at first glance, in short, one word - cold.

And what about Gong Jiu?In order to distinguish him from Ximen Chuuxue, he specially wore a flowered dress today, and he looked like a rich and wealthy family, which was simply out of tune with Wanmei Villa.Such a person dares to interrupt the "eye contact" between Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng, this is simply...unbelievable!

Everyone in Wanmei Villa held their breath. In their guess, someone should draw their sword in the next moment, either the owner of the villa or the owner of Baiyun City.
