Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Storm Tower Is Poor

The Storm House is not hard to find.

As the stronghold of Wuhen Dao on the bright side, Fengbolou is more public than Xingyuezong's brothel. The brothels of Xingyue Sect in various places are basically operated in secret. Outsiders probably don't know who is behind this brothel, and the brothels have different names. And Fengbolou is a "chain store", there are Fengbolou everywhere, because their business is openly received, anyone can come to Fengbolou to discuss business, and everyone knows what it is here for.

Even in many cases, people directly refer to Wuhendao as Fengbolou, because the name of Fengbolou is much bigger than Wuhendao...

So Xue Mu just asked a passerby and asked casually, and he knew the location of the Fengbo Tower.

Walking towards the Storm Tower, Xue Mu was still in a very peaceful mood. He didn't lie, he could almost confirm that there was no danger at all in going to the Storm Tower. Any high-ranking person has a lot of thoughts, the more this kind of person thinks a lot, the less likely he is to act rashly when he is delivered to the door.

In fact, the Fengbo Building is not far away, it is only a street away from Baihuayuan. This area has one thing in common. They are all Qinlou Chuguan, restaurants, casinos, and various places for entertainment. They are also the embodiment of urban planning and symbolize a certain degree of civilization.

In other words, the Storm Building is also a place to play...

Xue Mu looked up at the signboard and the large teapot dangling beside the plaque, and laughed dumbfoundedly.

This is actually a tea house...

This early in the morning, the brothel was closed for business, but the teahouse was the opposite, many people were drinking tea idly. The first floor is a large lobby with dozens of tables. People in twos and threes are drinking big pots of tea and eating refreshments, talking nonsense. Some tables are equipped with chess sets, playing games that Xue Mu has never seen before. chess.

The overall atmosphere is a bit like the teahouse in Xue Mu's memory, but the business is not good, and the attendance rate is less than one-fifth. I don't know if it is because of the morning, or the operation of Fengbolou.

Judging from this appearance, this is one of the sources of information for the Fengbo Building. There are some overlaps with the information acquisition methods of brothels, but there are also differences. They are more civilian. In addition, the Storm Building also has a rougher source of information—they use exercises to facilitate them, and they go out every day to spy on intelligence, which can make up for many blind spots in the Xingyuezong's collection mode.

Seeing Xue Mu enter the door and look around, a waiter came up to greet him: "Is the guest going to drink tea? Or buy tea?"

This is the incision of Fengbolou. It is very simple. Drinking tea is drinking tea, and those who buy tea are buying murder or intelligence.

Xue Mu smiled: "I'm looking for someone."

Seeing his extraordinary demeanor, the buddy felt a little relieved, and said in a low voice, "Excuse me, what I'm looking for is..."

Xue Mu said indifferently: "Xingyue Sect Xue Mu, please see the master of Fengbo."

The guy's face changed in horror.

...

As Xue Mu expected, he received a very high standard of treatment.

The shopkeeper of the tea house personally nodded and bowed and led him to the highest pavilion, where he served the best tea in the only private seat on the top floor. From the shopkeeper to the buddy, the expressions are full of respect.

There is respect for the identity represented by Xue Mu, and there is also respect for his courage to venture into Longtan alone. Everyone in the Fengbo Building knew that the suzerain had just assassinated Xue Mu in the morning and returned injured, but Xue Mu dared to enter at this time. And no matter what he has to rely on, just this courage makes people awe-inspiring.

This kind of ethos of people in the world admiring heroes can be seen.

Xue Mu sat alone at the table, sipping tea leisurely. The tea is the same type as the one I drank at Xue Qingqiu's, and it is better than Xiahoudi's, which means that Fengbolou is quite rich, at least not worse than Xingyuezong.

He knew someone was watching him, but he didn't care.

After a while, the air on the empty chair in front of him suddenly twisted strangely, and slowly the twist became more and more solid, forming a human-shaped frame, and slowly turning into a real person.

A person with a popular face who doesn't look special at all, the kind you can't find in a pile of embarrassing people. But the eyes are dark and sharp, with hidden divine light, piercing the face like sharp needles, revealing an extraordinary and refined cultivation.

"Boss Xue is really courageous." The public raised their teacups with a serious face, and touched Xue Mu with tea instead of wine: "I respect you."

Xue Mu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Sect Master Shadow Wing?"

"It is this seat." Ying Yi said indifferently: "Director Xue is one of the few people in the world who can see the true face of this seat, and it is also this seat's respect for heroes."

The last moment he was still assassinating, and now he was sitting and chatting. The world with a taste of martial arts is so interesting, and it is also a kind of excitement and style that is hard to find in modern times.

"Boss Xue is here, what advice do you have?"

Xue Mu said with a smile: "Last night, someone in your sect decided to assassinate me. Fortunately, the sect master cared about his fellowship and killed those who destroyed the friendship between you and me without authorization. The previous suspicion has been settled, right?"

A smile appeared in Yingyi's eyes: "Yes."

"The Fengbo Building opens its doors to do business. Since it can accept other people's business, of course it won't reject the same business, right?"

Ying Yi's eyes flickered: "What happened last night was his own decision, and I don't know who he is talking about business with."

Apparently he thought Xue Mu was here to ask the envoy, and even wanted to fight back, so he quickly pushed him away. Just kidding, killers also have principles, okay? It's impossible to leak employer information casually, let alone be bribed to kill employers. Do you need reputation?

Xue Mu waved his hand: "The suzerain has misunderstood. In fact, I don't care at all about who wants to kill me. At most, I am curious about how much I am worth. I wonder if the suzerain can satisfy this little curiosity?"

The price is not a secret, killers often have clearly marked prices for each business, Ying Yi also followed Xue Mu's wishes, and replied: "As far as I know, the other party paid a thousand taels of gold."

"Grass..." Xue Mu sipped his tea, "Is this what I'm worth?"

Yingyi looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing. A thousand taels of gold is already the largest order that Fengbolou has received in these years... You are a rookie, and you are not even worth a hundred taels of silver. Because you always follow Xue Qingqiu, the difficulty instantly becomes the hell level, and you only have the price of a thousand taels of gold, don't you know what is good or bad?

Xue Mu smacked his lips, and looked at Yingyi with sympathetic eyes, like looking at a beggar: "The Fengbolou is very poor..."

This time it was Shadow Wing's turn to drink tea. God, what a generation of shadow kings who are despised and poor!

poverty? Do you know that the killer business brings a lot of money?

Having said that, although he is not poor, he is not rich either. They are not a commission organization that gathers all kinds of killers, but a sect. All the assassins under the sect were cultivated from childhood to adulthood, and the cost of cultivating talents for a sect is not just talk. Moreover, most of the proceeds from killing people will be distributed to those who kill them. This is their purpose of Wuhendao, and the actual commission of the sect is not too much.

However, their profit model is not just about being an assassin. After all, the assassin business is rarely opened once, and there must be a non-main business. For example, selling out-of-date information to bullies is really profitable, and some first-hand information can create value itself. To put it bluntly, doesn’t the Xingyue Sect and the Hehuan Sect also eat this bowl of rice? Do you really think that the resource demand of this large sect can be maintained just by selling jokes in the brothel... Because of this, the Fengbolou always wants to monopolize information, and has been watching the stars. The Moon Sect and the Hehuan Sect were not too pleasing to the eye.

All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit.

Xue Mu seemed to be casual and said: "Even if it's the sect's own decision... for a mere gold thousand taels, it almost caused two bloody battles, isn't it that the sect of your sect is already poor and crazy?"

There is really nothing to wash about this, either because they are poor and crazy or because they are crying stupidly. Neither of Ying Yi wants to admit it, but he got it right: "Actually, no one knows that Director Xue has such a status in the noble sect. If he had known earlier , not to mention whether to take this business, even if you want to take it, firstly, it will be more than this price, and secondly...will not let the subordinates make a move to startle the snake."

Indeed, when taking over the business, Yingyi didn't know Xue Mu's status in Xingyue Sect. After all, Xingyue Sect would not allow men to take power. Generally, men would be killed if they killed them. The Xingyue Sect has also been at odds for thousands of years, so they are not afraid of being offended by this.

It wasn't until he personally assassinated and saw the Huiyue God Stone, and was sniped by Kui Ye, that he realized it. This Xue Mu holds the suzerain's certificate, and his status is clearly ridiculously high. The so-called chief executive is the real power chief, and the successor suzerain is qualified, no kidding!

Ying Yi was too late to regret, he knew that Xue Mu's status was so important, he would not accept any amount of money, if it really led to a full-scale war with Xingyuezong, the loss cannot be made up for at all! Unless...you can directly kill Xue Qingqiu, then it is worth considering.

Xue Mu narrowed his eyes, his temptation has been completed.

Ying Yi did not come to Beijing deliberately to kill him, but he was greedy for the thousand taels of gold before, and misjudged his importance, so he randomly sent a subordinate to attack him, originally thinking it was a bonus... In other words, Ying Yi Yi Jinjing has other important matters, which are worthy of his personal intervention.

Thinking of this, Xue Mu made a gesture to leave: "I thought that the noble sect would go all out for even a thousand taels of gold, so he must be more interested in gold ten thousand taels. Now it seems that Xue has misunderstood it, and the noble sect does not lack this little money. , then Xue is too presumptuous to come here."

Ten thousand taels? The muscles on Yingyi's face twitched, and he quickly said: "The Fengbo Building is indeed quite poor, ha ha... ha ha ha... If Mr. Xue has any good sources of money, for the sake of his comrades, he should take it with him." two."
