Heaven and earth return to one

Once he made up his mind to take back the Ziming Sect, Nangongxuan's actions also moved quickly. In just two months, he took down seven branch altars one after another, and went all the way to the vicinity of Luohuai.

However, Liu Jingwen was not on Shura Mountain at this time.

Zhuang Zhong's people who followed him told him that Liu Jingwen had taken all his masters to recuperate in a village more than a hundred miles west of Mount Shura.

This is not the first place where he recuperated his wounds. Whenever Nangong Xuan tried to get close, he ran away again, like a mouse hiding from a cat.

Of course, Nangongxuan would not be so foolish as to think that the other party was alert enough to sniff out all dangers. He knew in his heart that the problem still lay with the treacherous person buried beside him who had not yet been found out.

He brought so many people back to Asura Mountain, but he didn't know which one had a problem, and he couldn't make them pay attention to each other, so he couldn't find that person for a long time.

In the past, Nangongxuan must have been in a hurry, but now he has been influenced by Li Yunke a lot, and he has learned a little bit of his calmness that is always calm.

He thought, Liu Jingwen refused to be found by him, so let him come to find him.

But before that, he had other things to worry about.

In the sub-forums that I passed, some supported Nangongxuan from the beginning, and some people came to them after Shi Wen went to contact them. There were also those who felt that it didn’t matter who was the leader, as long as the sub-forum they belonged to could lead a good life. of.

Before Li Yunke left, he asked Kang Hui to give Xu Mingxi a lot of money, which was enough for them to manage these forums smoothly.However, Xu Mingxi has been discussing with Shi Wen in private how to distribute the money, and never told Nangongxuan.

Ordinarily, Yu Fangxing was in charge of the money, and it would be more reasonable to entrust him with these things, but Xu Mingxi was afraid that he would ask about the source of the money, so in order to save herself some trouble, she didn't tell him.

In the past few years, the business of Ziming Sect has been poorly managed, and there is not much money that can be used in the teaching. In the past, there was a rule that the main altar gave rewards to each sub-altar at the end of the year, but in the past two years, each sub-altar has to subsidize the main altar. up.

As a result, many of the sub-altar disciples have left the Ziming Sect. If this continues, the sub-altars will probably all be disbanded.

Nangongxuan has a headache, he is really not good at how to make money, it seems that next time he sees Li Yunke again, he should ask for advice.

Turning the booklet in front of him to a blank page, Nangong Xuan pinched the center of his brows and dipped his pen into the ink.

"Master, I'm coming in!" Xu Mingxi yelled outside, and walked in with food.

Nangong Xuan was at a loss as to how to write, when he heard the sound, he looked over at him and said, "This is the study, what are you doing here with the food?"

"Who told you to miss the meal time? You always don't take it seriously, but I can't live up to the prince's entrustment." Xu Mingxi put the food on the edge of the table and looked at what he was writing, "Let's talk about this It's not your study in the main altar, it doesn't matter if you have more food."

Nangong Xuan was a little funny, "I just asked a question, but you talk a lot."

Xu Mingxi said: "Master, what are you writing?"

"Keep down some accounts." Nangongxuan put down his pen again, picked up the booklet and flipped through it, sighing, "I owe too much money, even if the interest is not calculated, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay it back."

Xu Mingxi rolled his eyeballs twice, scratched his face and said, "Master, do you know?"

Nangongxuan threw the booklet to him, took the bowls and chopsticks and started to eat, "Shi Wen is not as cunning as you, he told me earlier."

Xu Mingxi read the things written down on a few pages, and said with a smile: "If I had known that the leader would not blame me, I would have said it."

"I didn't do anything wrong, what's so strange?"

Xu Mingxi touched his chin, feeling that he understood, "If it were someone else, the leader would not want to use their money casually, but the prince's money is your money, so if you spend it, you will spend it, right?"

"Damn you!" Nangong Xuan glared at him, "Did you write it down when you didn't see me? You will have to pay it back in the future."

"The couple are so clear about what to do?"

Nangong Xuan said: "Have you ever spent Kang Hui's money? Don't keep the count, don't you plan to pay it back?"

"I spend, who can remember how much I spent?" Xu Mingxi said naturally, "He doesn't even know how to spend money. I take care of all the money. What else should I pay him?"

Nangong Xuan: "..."

Xu Mingxi put down the booklet, and said to Nangongxuan with a serious face: "Master, I think you should not remember it. The prince probably doesn't care about that little money. To him, it may not even count as a drop in the bucket."

"It's his business that he doesn't care," Nangong Xuan said, "it's my business to keep the books."

Xu Mingxi suddenly became curious and asked: "Master, do you know how much money the prince has?"

"How would I know?"

Xu Mingxi got closer and said in a low voice: "Master, Big Brother Kang gave me five house deeds, which are... the kind of mansions of rich families! When he followed us through Huancheng, he took them out of a bank owned by Zhuangzi. He said that he would give it to me in the future. He also said that he has saved a lot with the prince these years, and has entrusted Zhuangzi in various places to keep it if he has nowhere to spend, and he will take it to me one after another. He does not know the exact number , but there should be a few million.”

Nangong Xuan: "..."

"Master," Xu Mingxi patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Kang is richer than the entire Ziming sect, what do you think of the prince?"

Nangongxuan put down the bowl and tapped him on the forehead, "Whether Yun Ke has money or not has anything to do with me not paying him back?"

"If you insist on saying no, then no." Xu Mingxi said, "I just want to sigh with emotion, the leader, you really have a good eye for picking people."

"..." Nangong Xuan smiled but didn't smile, "I also feel that you can deceive an honest person like Kang Hui, God is really not open."

Xu Mingxi: "..."

Nangong Xuan laughed and said, "You're kidding! I'm relieved that someone treats you sincerely."

"...Master, you sound like you want to marry your daughter." Xu Mingxi said dissatisfied.

Nangong Xuan nodded, "Almost."

Xu Mingxi: "..."

Nangongxuan put all the bowls and chopsticks back into the tray he brought, seeing that he still didn't leave, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes." Xu Mingxi moved the tray to the chair behind him, and leaned on the desk with his buttocks pouted, "Those officers and soldiers are still following us, I feel that the commander is going crazy."

Nangong Xuan was already tired of that man, and he was a little happy when he heard the words, "He has the emperor's life, follow him if you like, if you can't keep up, that's his business, it has nothing to do with us."

"At first I found it annoying to be watched by that group of people, but recently it's interesting to take them for a walk." Xu Mingxi rested his chin with one hand, tilted his head to think for a while, and said, "Master, Liu Jingwen is so cunning Like a fox, if you want to catch him, you will run away, what can you do?"

Nangongxuan stood up and stretched his muscles, "Yes, I just thought of it."

"Tell me now!"

"Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Jingwen set up a banquet at Luoyan Gate in Chenyu Bay, in order to lead me there. This time when I return to Shura Mountain, I will also entertain him..." Having said this, Nangongxuan stopped.

Seeing his puzzled face, Xu Mingxi asked, "What's wrong?"

Only halfway through the word "Let", he heard the sound of tiles being trampled in half from the roof, followed by the sound of fighting.

Nangong Xuan said: "Your Brother Kang started a fight with someone."

Xu Mingxi raised his eyebrows, immediately ran out, and said angrily: "I'll go and see who is so daring to come here to act wildly!"

Nangongxuan shook his head and chuckled, and followed out slowly.

On the roof of the study, Kang Hui was fighting vigorously with a man in a plain gray cloth gown.

The man wore a bamboo hat on his head, half of his face was covered, his figure was light and nimble, his moves were wonderful, and he seemed to be skilled.

But after all, it was a bit worse than Kang Hui.

Seeing that he was about to lose, the man flew to avoid Kang Hui's swipe of the palm. When he was in mid-air, he pulled out a soft whip from his waist, slapped it out, and rolled it towards Kang Hui's unsheathed sword.

Xu Mingxi was stunned, stared at the whip-wielding man, and shouted: "Stop! If you dare to hurt him, I will make you hard again!"

Kang Hui: "..."

The man in gray: "..."

The dexterous soft whip trembled crookedly under his shout, and drooped limply—whether the master could harden it or not, anyway, it softened first.

However, Kang Hui, who had the upper hand without trying his best before, was almost caught by the whip that lost its strength and accuracy, and even staggered a step when he backed away.

Xiang Duo, who was hiding in the tree opposite to watch the excitement, laughed so hard that his stomach ached and successfully exposed himself.

Kang Hui glanced at him, then looked at Nangong Xuan with a little embarrassment.

Nangong Xuan nodded slightly to him, looked at the gray-robed man, and said, "It's been a while since the letter was delivered, I thought you wouldn't come."

"Who asked you to meet me, but you didn't wait at the appointed place." The man jumped off the roof, took off the hat on his head, and showed a handsome face, "Why, the old man came to meet you, but you Are you not welcome?"

Xiang Duo straightened his back involuntarily, feeling inexplicably that this man was going to lure the princess away while their master was away.

Seeing that Xu Mingxi was about to come forward to talk to that person, Kang Hui hesitated for a while, and went to grab him and protect him behind him.

The man in gray sized him up with great interest, "Your Excellency, I wonder if you can tell me your identity?"

Kang Hui almost didn't think about it, and said casually: "Zi Ming teaches Chi Yan to protect the law."

The man in gray: "..."

Xu Mingxi looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing, even Nan Gongxuan couldn't help laughing.

Before Kang Hui could figure out what they were laughing at, he saw Yu Fangxing pushing away the crowd and rushing towards him.

Hearing that there was a fight here, Yu Fangxing hurried over and met the sight of the man in gray when he entered the courtyard.

Both of them were startled.

The man in gray came back to his senses first, smiled at him, and said, "Fang Xing, don't you come here all right?"

Yu Fangxing's lips trembled slightly, and he still couldn't believe it, "Pian... Zhou?"

Kang Hui, who was belatedly aware of it: "..."
