During the three days of waiting in the inn, because the room was very small and there was not enough space to practice martial arts, Zhuo Mufeng simply focused on bone tempering. After spending 450 points of martial pillar value, he finally increased the number of bone tempering on the trunk bones to two
Twelve dollars.
Early in the morning on the fourth day.
Just as Zhuo Mufeng was hesitating when to leave, a disciple of the Tahoe Sect took the initiative to find the inn and invited him to Xue Mansion.
…
The front hall of Xue Mansion is not very lavishly decorated, but it is simple and elegant. Compared with the reception hall of Mozhu Gang, it is simply inferior.
I heard that the Tahoe sect is involved in mining, forestry and other businesses, and they should make a lot of money. But people who live in the Jianghu and deal with black and white all the year round must also have staggering expenses.
Otherwise, with Xue Shijie’s identity, why didn’t he use two-star medicinal materials to temper his bones?
Without waiting for too long, Xue Yuanfeng, dressed in a brown brocade robe and wearing a jade ring on his hand, walked in and said with a loud laugh: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long, Young Master Zhuo."
"It's me who disturbed Master Xue."
Zhuo Mufeng woke up from his meditation and stood up quickly.
Xue Yuanfeng asked Zhuo Mufeng to sit down, and after serving tea, he took the initiative to chat with him about home affairs, without mentioning the important matters of the day. Zhuo Mufeng was not able to ask questions, so he had to talk patiently.
About a quarter of an hour passed.
Xue Yuanfeng then put down the tea cup, took out two pieces of paper from his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Mufeng and Quanzi have an irresistible relationship, and they are rare gentlemen. Xue will not treat you as an outsider, accept it.
"
Zhuo Mufeng took the two pieces of paper doubtfully.
The first one is an approval document with the seal of the Sihu Yamen. With this thing, the Mozhu Gang can legitimately recruit people and develop.
Zhuo Mufeng suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at the second piece of paper. This was so incredible that he looked up in shock: "Master Xue, what are you..."
This is actually a land deed, located in Nuanyang Mountain to the east of Gusu City, covering an area of 500 acres!
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the houses in the city were very valuable, but the large areas of barren mountains and wilderness were naturally of little interest due to slow development and single use.
Most of them will be rented to farmers for planting, and the land that is not suitable for planting is basically empty. Even though the land deed says 500 acres, the actual value is not as good as a small yard in Suzhou City.
But even so, it is not something that is given away casually.
What's more, Zhuo Mufeng has learned more about Gusu City in the past two days.
As far as he knew, although Nuanyang Mountain is located within the city, due to its dangerous terrain and vast area, there are still large areas that few people visit, and it is also a good place for many warriors to meet for battle.
Buying land is cheap, fighting is convenient, and it is located within the city. The unique conditions make the outer area of Nuanyang Mountain become a gathering place for Jianghu sects, and various gangs are trying to squeeze in.
But there is only one area in the outer area, and there are very few Jianghu sects that can actually enter it.
Zhuo Mufeng once wanted to settle there, but knowing that there was no way out, he had to give up.
Now Xue Yuanfeng gives this gift to himself without blinking an eye. What does it mean?
"It's not easy for young people to make a career in the world. This is Xue's little thought. Mu Feng must not refuse."
Xue Yuanfeng said with a smile.
Last night, he read the results of his men's investigation of Zhuo Mufeng over and over again, and was basically certain that Zhuo Mufeng was by no means a gentleman.
Although there was no evidence in the major case involving the Hongri County Magistrate and the Tiger Gang leader, Zhuo Mufeng was very suspicious.
There is also Shen Junhao, who had a duel with Zhuo Mufeng and was accused. I heard that not only did he not bear the enemy's grudge, but he also took the initiative to ask for compensation from a certain escort agency on his behalf.
Pushing forward, Xue Yuanfeng even suspected that Zhuo Mufeng could succeed as gang leader because he had done something secretly.
Understand the subtleties and see that the other party is not simple!
Of course, if it was just like this, Xue Yuanfeng would at most help a little and be extra vigilant in his heart. But after seeing a series of events, Zhuo Mufeng had nothing to criticize about the people around him.
Even in the most difficult period, Shang Zirong and others were not left behind to escape alone. This shows that the other party has a side that values friendship.
Combined with Zhuo Mufeng's martial arts talent, Xue Yuanfeng made up his mind to truly invest in the other party.
"This gift is too heavy, I cannot accept it."
Zhuo Mufeng pushed back with force.
Xue Yuanfeng smiled and said: "Mu Feng should know the situation in Gusu City. You don't have much money on you. How much money will you have left after you buy the yard? Do you want the gang to develop?
If you choose to build a few houses in Nuanyang Mountain first, you might be able to save a lot of money. Don't worry, Xue will never threaten you with this matter. It's just a voluntary help. At worst, you won't be able to pay him back in the future. My money."
When it comes to this matter, if Zhuo Mufeng can no longer understand Xue Yuanfeng's intention, then there is no need to mess around.
It is definitely impossible to repay the money, and the other party will not accept it. This is a debt of gratitude, and even refusing will offend the other party. Besides, there is really not much money left, so building a gang in Nuanyang Mountain seems to be a more suitable choice.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhuo Mufeng graciously put away the two pieces of paper, cupped his fists and said, "Well, thank you Uncle Xue."
"Hahaha……"
The admiration in Xue Yuanfeng's eyes became even stronger.
When talking to smart people, it's simple and clear.
For Xue Yuanfeng, there are many land deeds in Nuanyang Mountain, but most of them are in no-man's land and have little value. Even he only has three land deeds in the outer area, and they are still in the name of a dead wealthy businessman. bought.
The reason why I don't use my real name is because I am worried that if the information leaks and someone comes to ask for it, I will offend people in vain.
Giving one to Zhuo Mufeng this time was a huge investment. But Xue Yuanfeng believed in his own vision. It was like gambling. If he lost, he would lose a land deed, but what if he won?
The world is dangerous. If you form a good relationship now, you may have more protection in the future!
…
"Is the person named Xue so generous?"
Hu Lai was dumbfounded when he heard that Zhuo Mufeng had obtained the title deed to the outer area of Nuanyang Mountain.
Shang Zirong was so excited that her face turned red.
Not to mention the cost of buying a small yard, how many members of the gang can be accommodated? But it is different in Nuanyang Mountain. There are 500 acres of land. When the Mozhu Gang develops, how many people can she command?
Thinking of the bright future, Shang Zirong's eyes were shining.
The two elders were quite worried and doubted Xue Yuanfeng's intentions. Zhuo Mufeng explained a few words and told them not to think too much, then ordered Zhao Jin to find the craftsmen, while he led everyone to inspect the scene.
…
Nuanyang Mountain is located in the easternmost part of Gusu City. From a distance, it looks like a giant dragon, extending to the end of the sky. A large area is covered in white mist, making it mysterious and distant.
The ring-shaped mountain wall at the front is hundreds of feet high, with strange rocks standing on top of each other and green pines protruding from it.
There is actually a smooth, mirror-like Nuanyang Lake circled inside, with boats and fishing boats shuttled on the golden lake, forming a peaceful and beautiful scene.
A few people climbed along the path on the left side of the mountain wall, and after about two-quarters of an hour, they arrived at the area indicated by the land deed.
The terrain gradually becomes flat from high to low. Facing Nuanyang Lake, one can easily see the magnificent scenery in the lake and even the entire Gusu City. Behind it, there is a mountain as a barrier, accompanied by a flowing spring and waterfall, and the chirping of birds.
Came from a distance.
Shang Zirong was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.
Even Zhuo Mufeng had to admit that this place was simply wonderful, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the scenery was pleasant. It could be called a geomantic treasure.
