Prince, who shall we kill today?

"I'm not interested in covering the sky. The sky is so high and so big, it's not something that a mere businessman like me can cover."

Xie Xuan picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, before eating it himself.

The guests are not willing to move their chopsticks, and he can't force it. Anyway, he can't do it if he is asked to take out more silver taels to help the victims.

The big deal is that he eats the dishes on this table alone.

He is pampered and well-behaved, and his food is extremely gentle.Han Che glanced at him, and said seriously: "Are you really not considering getting married? Actually, I have a distant cousin—"

Xie Xuan glanced at the knife flying over, and Han Che immediately stopped talking.

"I will not say anymore."

Xie Xuan looked away and continued to focus on eating.

Have a bite of shark's fin, um...it tastes good; try this bird's nest, um...delicious...

But Xie Xuan couldn't take it anymore after eating for a while.

The two of them stared at him, no matter how determined he was, he couldn't hold on.

He had to call his buddy to come in and ask him to transport some more grain to Ying County.

Xue Man rubbed his stomach, and asked Han Che cautiously, "Can I eat it?"

Han Che laughed: "It's fine, it's fine, eat quickly."

Xue Man was so hungry that he quickly picked up chopsticks to eat.

Xie Xuan looked at him gobbling it up, and suddenly felt distressed.

"I want to change you for the chaff..."

Han Che was overjoyed: "If you change this business, you won't be able to make it."

While serving Xue Man food, he said: "I don't want the child to be able to trap the wolf. You don't want to pay anything, you just want to have a lot of silver in the account, and a large number of guests come in. Is it possible? Of course it is impossible."

Xie Xuan said: "I have paid enough."

"Are there many Nanying Associations?" Han Che disapproved. "The head of Renjia Gu told me that they swore to practice chivalry since the establishment of Nanying Association. He asked all merchants in the chamber of commerce to be kind and generous. Those who need help, save; those who are desperate, stay. What did you do?"

Xie Xuan looked gloomy: "I'm doing business, not running a charitable hall."

"They're not opening a philanthropic hall, they're also doing business." Han Che continued, "I learned from Ruo Xun that they take beggars into the chamber of commerce to work for food, clothing and wages. They take orphans into the sect Giving food and clothing, and teaching martial arts. I have to say that this is a very clever method. It can let the world see their righteous deeds, and can train these people for their own use. After ten or twenty years, these dolls grow up and will Support the new future of Nanying Association.

And when the common people saw what they did, they would only think that Gu Gangzhu is really a living Bodhisattva, and they will look for the shops under their chamber of commerce in the future.As for Xie Xuan, what has this person done?He's just a businessman who only cares about making money. "

Xie Xuan lowered his head and remained silent.

Han Che looked at him and said helplessly, "I don't believe you don't understand these things. You can emulate them and do some righteous deeds to show the common people back the guests. I think you just can't bear it."

"Yes." Xie Xuan admitted frankly, "I just can't bear it. They have an alliance, and I only have myself. How can I fight?"

Han Che tapped the table with his fingertips: "Don't you still have your brother? If you just forget him, he will be sad."

"That idiot Xie Yan?" Xie Xuan said displeased, "Aside from bringing people to my place to eat and drink for free, what else would he do? I wish I could poison him to death with poison in his food and drink."

"Your idea is very dangerous." Han Che said, "Xie Yan can still support you. No matter how powerful Ren Nanying will be, he would not dare to enter your room in the middle of the night and kill you? Otherwise, what they are facing may be the guard. The strife of the army."

"You think too much." Xie Xuan said, "If I die, Xie Yan will only have a meal with Gu Fenglin, drink a few glasses of wine, and tell him that we will be friends in the future."

Xue Man ate in silence for a long time, and finally came to his senses and interjected: "Is the relationship between your brothers so bad?"

"Where are the brothers." Xie Xuan said, "We are just half-brothers. His mother is the wife, and my mother is a concubine. My father is a gambler. After losing all his family money, he was sent to the army and my mother. Man, sold me again. It was originally agreed that I would be sold to a rich family to be a young master, but the night I went there was crushed by the owner and I realized that I was a child prostitute. I was only 12 years old at that time, no... Remember I don't know, it seems to be 11 years old."

"Really?" Han Che was quite surprised, "Even if you want to use me to help you deal with Nanyinghui, don't lie to me about this..."

Xie Xuan said softly: "You guess if it's true or not. It may be true, or I may have lied to you."

He gave Han Che a sly smile, but Han Che didn't dare to guess.

The guess is true, he dare not imagine what kind of life Xie Xuan lived at that time.

Guess it's fake, if it's true, it's just rubbing salt in other people's wounds.

All I can say is, Xie Xuan is so cunning!

When he was still afraid to guess whether it was true or false, Xie Xuan continued: "I was so young, I was tortured so much, I wanted to die. But then I thought that I haven't enjoyed a good life yet, so I gritted my teeth He survived. Two years later, he got drunk and fell into the river and drowned. I was kicked out by my wife and lived on the street. When I was dying of hunger, I was taken in by the owner of an inn. Later, the old couple died, and I helped them In the end, I continued to run the inn by myself. Another two years passed, and my father, a gambling ghost, came to him and asked me to give him all the income in the store. If I refused, he would hire someone to kill people in my store. survived."

He picked up the wine glass and said to Han Che: "I offer a toast to the prince. The prince is not in good health and is not suitable for drinking, so please feel free."

After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"Now you know why I don't want to marry a wife and have children." Xie Xuan turned to Xue Man, "I have such a miserable life experience, I managed to expand my business, and now the Nanying Society is in trouble again, not only robbing my business, but also secretly killing me. My buddy. I am just a helpless businessman, and I can't dodge anything with open guns and dark arrows, so please Daxia Xue must be the master for me!"

"All right, all right, don't make things difficult for him." Han Che said, "My lord, let me help you."

Xue Man subconsciously glanced at Han Che, a little at a loss.

Xie Xuan immediately smiled: "I knew that the son is a good man!"

He courteously put a few dishes in front of Han Che, and said softly, "I prepared these specially for you, eat more, and help me decide when you are full."

Han Che stared at him a few times, only thinking that this person was really hateful.

But he just heard a tragic story that he didn't know if it was true or not, so it's not good to show Xie Xuan's face at this time.

After drinking for three rounds, Xie Xuan wanted to tell those two about the Nanyinghui.

Han Che said: "I won't listen to you. Who knows if you will add fuel and vinegar."

"Then who do you want to listen to?" Xie Xuan had just finished speaking when he heard the guy outside knocking on the door, "Mr. Lu is here."

Han Che smiled slightly and said, "I listened to him."

Xie Xuan glanced at him, then got up to open the door, and welcomed Lu Haoyan who was late.

"I'm late, I'm really sorry." Lu Haoyan looked in a hurry, he took a breath and said, "The college has a lot of work today, I'm stuck. Is there any wine? I'll punish myself with three glasses."

Xie Xuan invited him to a seat and ordered the waiter to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks and a wine cup.They also asked people to remove the messy food in front of them and replace them with new ones.

After everything was ready, Lu Haoyan drank three cups of wine to quench his thirst, and then clasped his fists to several people and said, "Go to Lu Haoyan again, today I was invited by Mr. Han to eat and drink, and I will invite you if you eat too much later." Forgive me."

"You are Lu Haoyan?" Xue Man slightly raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "The one who bullied my wife and my master?"

"Ah—I was wrong about that..." Lu Haoyan laughed dryly, "I...I will punish you three more times!"

Han Che said: "Drink slowly, don't get drunk and can't talk about business."

Xue Man immediately showed a kind smile: "Well, let's talk about the business first, and then talk about our business after the business is finished."

Lu Haoyan looked at Han Che for help.

Han Che said: "It's okay, I'll cover you."

Lu Haoyan heaved a sigh of relief.

"If you want me to talk about the Hongshan faction, in fact, they can develop into the power they are today, which has a lot to do with one person. This person is the military advisor of the Nanyinghui—Ren Dong."

"Ren Dong?" Han Che was at a loss, "I've never heard of it."

Xie Xuan said: "He is very mysterious."

"Don't talk." Han Che said, "Brother Lu, come here."

"Okay." Lu Haoyan said, "This Ren Dong is indeed very mysterious, and he never takes credit for it, and he rarely shows up. So don't say that people outside don't know him, even the Nanying Society has many disciples who don't know him. Because He is too mysterious, so I don't know when he came to Hongshan. He didn't even show up at the founding ceremony of the Nanying Association."

Han Che asked: "Then how did you know of his existence?"

Lu Haoyan said: "Yuting told me."

"Yuting?" Han Che recalled the name in his mind, "Is it Miss Gu's family?"

"Well." Lu Haoyan said, "Yu Ting studied in Baihe Academy, and their family was a small sect before. Her father was only obsessed with kendo before, and he didn't have any ambitions. Yu Ting only wanted the family to be happy together. Let’s live a peaceful life together.”

One day a few years ago, Gu Yuting and her classmate brother Haoyan said——

When her father was practicing swordsmanship in the yard, a stranger wearing a bamboo hat flew up to the wall of their house, looked at it for a while, and said: "It's a pity that such a good swordsmanship."

Her father asked, what a pity?

The man said: "It's a pity that such a good swordsmanship is not used to uphold justice and open up chivalry."

Then he sighed and flew away lightly.

A few days later, when Yu Ting and her father were out hunting, they met that man in the mountain stream.

He is wearing a bamboo hat and sitting cross-legged on a big rock, fishing in the rushing water.The drizzle flew obliquely, but he remained motionless.

Yu Ting went over to him and said, "The current here is very fast, and the fish are all washed away. You can't catch any fish. Why don't you go to another place."

The man didn't respond.

Yu Ting's father stood by and watched for a while, and then suddenly asked: "How can my Qinghong swordsmanship help justice and open up the way of chivalry?"

The man seemed to be smiling.

He pointed to the forest across the creek, and said to Yu Ting's father, "Use your sword first to cut a path."

Yu Ting's father raised his eyes to look at the mountain forest. Its ancient trees towered to the sky, covering the sky and the sun.It seems a bit difficult to open a road from it to the bottom of the mountain.

The man turned his head and said: "Remember to open the road wider, so as not to have too many people going up the mountain and it's too crowded."

At this time, his fishing rod was pulled and shook endlessly.

He slammed it back.

It was a fish hooked.

Yuting opened her eyes wide.

The man smiled lightly.

It seems to say: "Look, the fish is hooked."
