Taiping Inn

The teahouse that Li Xuandu and Li Taiyi came to was actually extraordinary. After all, ordinary people rush around all year just to fill their stomachs, so how could they have the spare money to come here to drink tea? A pot of tea would cost several taels of silver, which was really prohibitive.

But such prices were not unscrupulous. Tea has not been cheap since ancient times. In the Golden Tent, half a tea brick could be exchanged for a horse, and that was ordinary tea. If it was good tea, the price would be unstoppable, and it was the same everywhere in the world. Li Xuandu still remembered that the tea trees of many famous teas were limited, and the annual output was also limited, and there was no market for them.

This teahouse was opened by the Li family. After all, not all the children of the Li family could make a name for themselves in the Qingwei Sect. Some of them stayed in the ancestral home and needed a livelihood, so they started a business with the help of the east wind of sea trade. At least they had no shortage of sources and were not afraid of being cheated.

In addition, the Li family also knows how to take advantage of the situation when doing business. They put up the name of the Li family, which is unique. First, they are not afraid of people coming to provoke them, and second, they can also attract business. After all, whether it is Li Daoxu or other Li family members, they are all well-known in the world. Many people in the world will come in and sit down when they see the sign. Later, it gradually developed into a place where people in the world gather, just like people in the world prefer Taiping Inn when staying in a hotel.

Li Taiyi walked out of the private room with an indescribable coldness on his face. In fact, there are differences between cold and cold. For example, Qin Su's coldness is mostly because of shyness, while Li Taiyi's coldness is because of arrogance and contempt.

It's just that when Li Taiyi is in front of Li Daoxu and Li Xuandu, he will put away this arrogance, just like a beast puts away its fangs and claws, and a tiger or leopard can be as gentle and cute as a big cat.

At this time, the direction of the noise came from another private room, where two groups of people were. It seemed that they were originally discussing something here, but they might have had a conflict because the discussion broke down.

To be fair, there are many good players in both groups, and there are also many people in the Return to the True Realm.

Some of them are old and have returned to the True Realm. Such people may not have the hope of reaching the Heavenly Man Realm in this life, but they have not wasted their time for so many years. They must have one or two unexpected life-saving skills, which are very tricky. If Li Taiyi had not fallen in realm, he would still be the youngest Grandmaster of the Heavenly Man Realm, and he would not be taken seriously. But now that he has just fallen in realm, if he really wants to fight, he may not be his opponent alone against many people.

However, Li Taiyi is not afraid. Not to mention that he is a conceited person, and there is a senior brother sitting behind him, there is no reason to be afraid even where he is.

Could it be that he can be bullied by outsiders on his own territory?

Because this is Beihai Li's Beihai Mansion, that's enough.

Thinking of this, Li Taiyi took out his double swords, turned them in his hands, and hung them on his waist.

This pair of double swords is a signboard.

The innkeeper, who was a little confused about what to do, immediately recognized Li Taiyi and hurried forward to greet him: "Sixth Master, when did you come? Our boss is not here."

Li Taiyi frowned.

The innkeeper immediately reacted, slapped himself lightly, and said: "It's my fault. I said it casually. It should be Mr. Liu. Please forgive me, Mr. Liu."

Because the title of "Ye" originated from the flattering words of the eunuchs in the inner court to the emperor, it is simply a simplification of "Ye Ye". If someone calls you "Ye", you have to call others "Ye". With Li Taiyi's character, he naturally hates this kind of mutual grandfather title.

Li Taiyi didn't bother with the shopkeeper and asked, "Where is your boss?"

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face, "I have sent someone to notify him. He should be here soon."

Li Taiyi said coldly, "By the time he arrives, I'm afraid the teahouse will have been demolished."

"Please have pity on me, Mr. Liu." The shopkeeper said hurriedly.

Li Taiyi asked, "Who are they?"

The shopkeeper said, "Two groups of people, one is the Qian family in Jinling Prefecture, and the other is the Murong family in Liaodong. The two families originally agreed to discuss business in the teahouse, but somehow, they are about to fall out."

"Well, the Murong family has a deep connection with the Wangqing Sect, and the Qian family is on good terms with the Taiping Sect. They each have their own strengths, so they won't give in to each other." Li Taiyi's words inevitably carried some of the characteristics of the Qingwei Sect, but what he said was not wrong. Long before, Li Taiyi participated in the fight for the position of the sect leader, which shows that Li Taiyi is not a martial arts fanatic and is familiar with many situations.

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't?"

Li Taiyi snorted coldly, "But this is the territory of the Li family and the Qingwei Sect."

After that, Li Taiyi walked straight to the private room and broke in.

The two groups of people who were on the verge of a fight looked at the uninvited guest at the same time.

Li Taiyi held the sword on his waist and looked around. He wanted to ask the two groups of people to get out of here, but suddenly remembered what Li Xuandu had said before, and changed his mind temporarily, saying, "I am the owner of this teahouse."

Both parties were stunned.

Li Taiyi suddenly thought at the moment just now, if it was his senior brother Li Xuandu, what would he do? Would he sweep their faces and make unnecessary enemies of the two groups, or would he take advantage of the situation to become a middleman and make some incense and affection? If he relied on force alone, how sure would he be to defeat the fifth senior sister who was quite good at dancing with long sleeves?

Li Taiyi continued, "My last name is Li, and my given name is Taiyi, the Taiyi of Donghuang Taiyi."

The two groups of people immediately changed their attitudes. The woman headed by the Qian family clasped her fists and said, "So you are Mr. Liu."

The young man headed by the Murong family also said, "Hello, Mr. Liu."

But the attitudes of both sides are a bit ambiguous.

On the territory of the Qingwei Sect, they didn't want to or dare to provoke Li Taiyi, but they didn't think about getting close.

After all, Li Taiyi’s loss of power is not a secret, and everyone has heard of it. Now that the old sect leader of the Qingwei Sect has ascended to die, Mr. Qingping takes over as the sect leader, and the emperor and the ministers of the emperor. Who knows how much weight does this sixth gentleman have? What is the attitude Mr. Qingping treats this Mr. Six? If Mr. Qingping is angered by this, it will be more than worth the loss.

If Li Taiyi was worthy of the momentum, how could he run a teahouse here? This undoubtedly proves their speculation.

Li Taiyi immediately noticed this delicate attitude, sneered in his heart, but suppressed his temper, and said patiently: "This is a place to drink tea and talk about things, not a place to fight."

The young man from the Murong family immediately followed this step and said, "Mr. Six said that harmony is the most important thing, and harmony brings wealth."

He knew very well that he was from the Murong family, not from the Qin family. Although Miss Qin is his distant cousin, he can barely call Mr. Qingping "Brother-in-law", this kind of relative who is separated by countless generations is nothing. The Qin family still has so many Qin children, but it doesn't matter. Who dares to call her brother-in-law when you see him?

The woman led by the Qian family is actually acquaintance of Li Xuandu, and it is Qian Yurong. Since Qian Yulong and Qian Yulou died, Qian Yurong's status in the Qian family has risen. Now she is fully responsible for the business in Qizhou. The next time, he followed the order of the Elder Hall and planned to continue to expand his business northward. However, the Grand Canal ended at the Imperial Capital. If he wanted to continue to go north to Liaodong, it became a little difficult without going through sea trade. Qian Yurong has made little progress since the beginning of the day.

Because Qizhou happens to be located between Liaodong and Jiangnan, the two sides are determined to meet here.

Speaking of which, it was Qian Yurong who had met Murong Fu for the third time, and the two sides still could not reach an agreement. If they were an experienced person, it would be nothing if they failed to make a business and righteousness. But both of them were young and energetic, and just as they were about to take advantage of this, they held their breath in their hearts, and they almost turned against each other if they didn't deal with it for a few words.

The two people following Qian Yurong are worshipped by the Qian family, namely Sheng Zikuan, who is ranked 49th in the Black and White Score. Although he is only returning to the true realm, he is most likely to have no hope of entering the realm of heaven and man in this life, but he makes good use of hidden weapons. There are so many types that make people unable to defend against. They are an alien among the masters of the True Realm, and their combat power is quite impressive. The other is an older master of magic, named Fan Zhenyue, who is proficient in various five elements magic and ranks 60th in the black and white spectrum. He was once the supreme elder of a sect. Later, the sect was defeated due to the revenge of the martial arts world. After the disciples fled, he simply became a guest of the Qian family's elders' hall.

The black and white spectrum has changed a lot over the years. For example, the top Taoist Dongxuan and Han Yaoyue died one after another, so the rankings of the two have also moved forward.

As for Murong Fu, he is the youngest son of Murong Shen, the contemporary head of the Murong family. He is not a legitimate son, but his biological mother is the most favored by Murong Shen.

Murong Shen's wife has no children, and both sons are born in illegitimate children. Both of them have neither taken possession of the legitimate wife. One has taken possession of the eldest son and the other has taken possession of love. Over the years, there have been constant open and secret struggles.

According to the rules, both of them are the sons of Murong Shen’s first wife. If you want to call her mother, you can only call your biological mother the aunt. However, Murong Shen’s first wife prefers the eldest son and raises him in his name. In order to be afraid that Murong Fu's biological mother would threaten her position, and the eldest son's biological mother was her dowry maid, and she could be considered her family. Murong Shen loves the house and the Wuwu, and prefers his younger son more. He is determined to help his younger son as the head of the family. However, under the pressure of his first wife and elders in the clan, he dare not be too blatant. He can only give his younger son the opportunity as much as possible. .

Seriously speaking, Murong Hua, who defected to the Forgetful Sect, was also Murong Fu's cousin. This branch was a descendant of the Murong clan of the Dayan period. He surrendered to the Qin family many years ago. As for those branches that guarded the glory of their ancestors. , he was driven out of Liaodong, very down and out. For example, Mr. Murong, who died in the Qingqiu Cave Heaven, was driven out of Liaodong, which is incomparable to the Murong Fu branch.

At this time, the one who followed Murong Fu was not a master of the Murong family, but a master of the Wangqing Sect. This was also the result of Qin Qing's integration of Liaodong and integrated operations. Therefore, Murong Fu actually represents Liaodong, and the people who accompany him were also from His superiors assigned people, rather than taking people from his family, which was considered a businessman.
