That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 335

Xu Beiyou didn't indulge in this young man and woman for too long. The sudden visit of a woman broke his "never forgetting" about Xiao Zhinan, and he was able to turn his attention back to Jiangdu.

A carriage stopped outside the gate of Gongsun Mansion in Ronghuafang, and a woman dressed in a post-construction style stepped out of the carriage. Behind her was only an elderly servant, her demeanor was calm, and she did not reveal herself.

The woman was the concubine Wanyan Yufei, who was loved by the late founding lord Wanyan Beiyue. Take over half of the sea route.

Concubine Wanyan Yu never thought that her master ancestor and the young master of the Sword Sect had such an earth-shattering plan. In one night, the Kunshan sect advocated the death of the slaves, the Jiangnan Taoist sect was overthrown, and Mr. Xu's name spread throughout Jiangdu , is known as the Lord of Jiangdu.

No matter how much water is in the title of "Lord of Jiangdu", Concubine Wanyan Yu has no choice but to come to pay a visit.

Xu Beiyou asked someone to open the middle door, but he didn't come out to meet him himself.

Concubine Wanyan Yu raised her head and glanced at the plaque of the Gongsun Mansion, her face was slightly gloomy, but she didn't say much, it's not what it used to be, now that Xu Beiyou has stepped into the realm of the earth fairy, his status has risen, it's only a matter of time before he takes over as the lord of the Sword Sect, even if he doesn't Opening the middle door, Concubine Wanyan Yu, as a guest who came all the way from Houjian, could only accept it.

It was Wu Yu who greeted the guests instead of Xu Beiyou, and now she is Xu Beiyou's junior sister and his chief housekeeper.

Wu Yu's appearance is extremely beautiful, even compared with Xiao Zhinan, she is not inferior to Xiao Zhinan. During these days, she has started to make her mark in Jiangdu, and she has undoubtedly amazed most of Jiangdu. Some children of aristocratic families even gave her the title of "Poppy" The nickname is that Concubine Wanyan Yu, who is also a woman, couldn't help but look at her a few more times. At the same time, she secretly thought about the relationship between her and Xu Beiyou. Concubine Wanyan Yu firmly believes that men are cats who steal sex. Put it in front of your eyes, can you resist eating it?

Wu Yu caught the playfulness in Concubine Wanyan Yu's eyes, and remained indifferent to it, with that calm and cheerful expression on his face, he smiled and said, "Princess, brother has been waiting for you for a long time."

Concubine Wanyan Yu immediately restrained her thoughts, and said calmly: "This sister should be the famous Fairy Yu, right?"

Wu Yu shook his head lightly and said: "I can't afford to be a fairy, I'm just doing something in the senior man's house."

Concubine Wanyan Yu frowned slightly.

Before she came here, she had specially researched Xu Beiyou's employers. No matter Song Guanguan or Zhang An, they had served Xu Beiyou's errands similar to stewardship, and then they were released. Now Xu Beiyou asked Wu Yu to take over their errands. Do you also value yourself as a junior sister?
Wu Yu turned around and led the way in front of his head, and said softly: "Princess, please follow me."

Concubine Wanyan Yu was thoughtful and followed behind.

When the three of them came to the main hall, Xu Beiyou was already standing on the steps in front of the hall, with a smile on his face, welcoming this noble lady.

For a moment, Concubine Wanyan Yu felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy.

This was not the first time she saw Xu Beiyou, as early as the day she entered Jiangdu by boat, she met Xu Beiyou from afar, but at that time she recognized Xu Beiyou's identity, but Xu Beiyou didn't know her.

Concubine Wanyan Yu suppressed the hostility in her heart and tried her best to keep her calm. After all, this Mr. Xu in front of her was a real immortal, and it was not difficult to detect her clues.

Xu Beiyou let Concubine Wanyan Yu into the main hall, while Wu Yu and the elderly retinue stopped outside the door.

Not long after, Wu Yu personally served two cups of hot tea.

Concubine Wanyan Yu carefully considered and said: "Master Xu must already know the reason for my visit."

Xu Beiyou said with a smile, "Senior Murong entrusted Senior Sister Yu with full responsibility for the sea route. I have already discussed the general direction with Senior Sister Yu."

Concubine Wanyan Yu smiled slightly, and said: "Master Yu is only in charge of the direction, and the specific matters need to be handled by the little girl."

Xu Beiyou asked straight to the point: "I want to ask, how does the princess plan to use the half of the sea route I gave up?"

Concubine Wanyan Yu said bluntly: "Cooperation will benefit both, and division will hurt both. Naturally, we will sincerely cooperate with the remaining half of the sea route in Mr. Xu's hands. It is just that the previous one business has become two businesses."

Xu Beiyou wasn't too surprised, and then asked; "So in the future, the princess will specialize in this matter?"

Concubine Wanyan Yu said: "Although it has not been fully decided, but I think it will be close to ten."

Xu Beiyou nodded, and after a little thought, he suddenly asked, "If I remember correctly, Princess Wei should be the princess' aunt."

Concubine Wanyan Yu was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly.

What Xu Beiyou was talking about was Wanyan Yingzhu, Wanyan Beiyue's younger sister.

Back then, Emperor Xiao was invited by the Great General Murong Yan of Houjian, to conquer the Northern Expedition and build up, and put down the rebellion of the Five Kings. , Wanyan Beiyue is his younger brother.

At the same time, Emperor Xiao married his younger sister Xiao Yue to Wanyan Beiyue as his wife, Wanyan Beiyue reciprocated, and also married his younger sister Wanyan Yingzhu to Wei Wang Xiaojin.

This is not a secret, it's just that the two families married each other to take advantage of the situation.

If we really want to talk about it in detail, this princess and Princess Qiyang Xiao Zhinan can still call each other sisters.

Xu Beiyou thought for a while, and said: "I heard that Wei Guo has recently raised something called 'fire guns', which is very powerful. If the princess can persuade the princess to sell me a batch of fire guns, then Xu There are other rewards."

According to the information obtained by Xu Beiyou, the so-called firecrackers, also called firebronze, were made and used as early as the Great Chu Dynasty, but they were not comparable to bows and arrows, so they were never used on a large scale. Today, the firecrackers used by Wei State, no matter in power or range, They are all far better than the firearms of the Great Chu period. The specific craftsmanship is not clear, but it must be related to sulfur and saltpeter. For monks, a single one is not very powerful, but if it can reach a certain number, the fairyland will be shy away. .

Xu Beiyou once bought a firecracker, which was light and handy, with a long and slender body, a cylindrical breech, with projectiles inside, a spherical protruding chamber, and a fire door on the wall for placing the fuse for ignition.The tail is hollow, and a wooden handle can be installed, which is convenient for the launcher to handle.

From Xu Beiyou's point of view, this is almost a Shenwei General Cannon that has been shrunk down many times. The imperial court has strict controls on bows and crossbows, but there is no clear statement on firearms. The team may have miraculous effects in the future.

Of course, this is still only a preliminary idea of ​​his, and the specific situation has not yet been fully thought out.

Concubine Wanyan Yu was silent for a long time, then asked softly: "How much does Mr. Xu want?"

Xu Beiyou calculated silently in his mind, and said: "One firecracker is calculated at ten taels of silver, I want at least ten thousand, the more the better."

Concubine Wanyan Yu suddenly widened her eyes.

Ten thousand! ?
Even if there are two for one person, it is still a share for 5000 people.

Cultivators definitely don't know how to use firecrackers, so they can only be used by ordinary people. She doesn't doubt whether Xu Beiyou can gather so many people, but she is just curious about what name Xu Beiyou will use to silence the court?

This is not a small fight, and it is not an exaggeration to give him the name of raising a private army and plotting evil.

wild ambition.

Such a word suddenly flashed in Wanyan Yufei's mind, and she suddenly realized that she had really underestimated Mr. Xu before.

The size of ambition has always been equal to the level of power.

For Xu Beiyou to have such great ambitions, isn't it a sign of his overwhelming power in Jiangdu?
Concubine Wanyan Yu twitched her lips, "I will do my best."

Xu Beiyou picked up the teacup and smiled, "I will arrange for Zhang An to handle the specific matters."
