Chapter 280 The Relationship Between Emei Sect and Shu Palace
"No wonder." Su Shaoying nodded.
Ma Xiuzhen looked at Su Shaoying, "No wonder what?"
"No wonder Huo Xiu said to Master that he envied Master and Boss Yan when he met Master." Su Shaoying smiled, "Back then in the Jinpeng Dynasty, Huo Xiu was Sikong, the head of the civil officials, and Boss Yan was just an eunuch in charge of the royal treasury.
But after coming to the Central Plains, Boss Yan opened a shop in the Pearl Pavilion, and his business was done in various royal palaces, and he was in the limelight. But Huo Xiu became an agent who made money for dignitaries. He was in name only, and it would be strange if he didn't feel the difference."
Dugu Yihe said lightly, "He chose his own way."
"It's a pity that even if he helped those people make money, those people would not play with him." Su Shaoying shook his head and said.
"Yes, he is too naive." Dugu Yihe said, "The court belongs to the court, and the rivers and lakes belong to the rivers and lakes. The two can cooperate, but once they want to join, it is crossing the line."
"Did Huo Xiu cross the line?" Shi Xiuxue asked.
"He not only crossed the line, but also established the Qingyi Building." Dugu Yihe said in a deep voice, "He is too deeply involved and too greedy."
Shi Xiuxue nodded, not quite understanding. Ma Xiuzhen was interested in another thing, "Master, Huo Xiu made money for those people, and Boss Yan also did business in various royal palaces. Do you have any cooperation with the court?"
Dugu Yihe laughed when he heard it, "Are you stupid?"
Ma Xiuzhen blinked, "What's wrong?"
Dugu Yihe shook his head and laughed, "You forgot that the chief guard of the Shu Palace is your uncle."
Ma Xiuzhen slapped his forehead, "The chief guards of the Shu Palace have always been There are many brothers and sisters in the palace guards of our Emei Sect, and I am used to it. "
Dugu Yihe nodded, "Emei Sect protects Shu Palace from troubles in the martial arts world, and Shu Palace protects Emei Sect from official troubles. This is cooperation."
Su Shaoying smiled, "As for whether Shu Palace has money in Huo Xiu's hands..."
Dugu Yihe shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with us!"
Su Shaoying nodded, only knowing what to know, only doing what to do, being close and distant, and maintaining independence, this is the foundation of Emei Sect, one of the seven major sword sects in the Central Plains, and the reason for its long-lasting prosperity.
Shi Xiuxue shook her head, "I don't want to work in the palace."
Su Shaoying glanced at Shi Xiuxue, "You are not needed."
Shi Xiuxue saw Su Shaoying's disdainful eyes and couldn't help but grin and asked, "What do you mean?"
Ma Xiuzhen and Sun Xiuqing couldn't help but hug Shi Xiuxue and giggled, "Because you seem quiet but actually have a hot temper, if you work in the palace, wouldn't that bring disaster to our Emei Sect?"
Dugu Yihe nodded, "There are hundreds of disciples in Mount Emei, and each of them has their own things to do. You have extraordinary talents, so you should walk in the world and spread the reputation of our Emei Sect."
Ma Xiuzhen and the other two girls immediately restrained their expressions and bowed their hands in a serious manner, "Yes!"
After the voice fell, the three girls couldn't help but feel disappointed, because one of the three heroes and four beauties of Emei Sect was gone.
"Huo Tianqing, you bastard!" Shi Xiuxue couldn't help but curse again, and then she saw Su Shaoying's eyes again, "Why are you looking at me like this again?"
"I think you are clear about gratitude and resentment, and you curse well!" Su Shaoying gave Shi Xiuxue a thumbs up.
Not to mention Ye Xiuzhu's betrayal of her master, among the remaining three women, Ma Xiuzhen is the smartest and most sensible. Although she admires Lu Xiaofeng, she is not as open as Shi Xiuxue and Sun Xiuqing. She really looks like a senior sister.
Shi Xiuxue has a hot temper. Although she may not have much affection for Su Shaoying, they are brothers and sisters from the same sect after all. In the original book, she is also the first to draw the sword for the original body. She has the character of a junior sister.
But Sun Xiuqing...
Su Shaoying glanced at Sun Xiuqing. Although she is not a bad person, she is too emotional. If she were put in modern times, she would be a standard literary young woman.
Unfortunately, without the poisoning incident, she and Ximen Chuxue were probably not destined to be together. With her cheerful and gentle personality, she could serve as a lubricant between fellow disciples, as long as she didn't meet the wrong person in the future.
Hearing Su Shaoying's praise, Shi Xiuxue snorted, and felt that this senior brother who used to be dissatisfied with everything was much more pleasing to the eye.
Ma Xiuzhen saw the meaning of Su Shaoying's look at Shi Xiuxue, and seeing that Dugu Yihe was in a good mood, she asked tentatively, "Master, is that Hua Manlou from the Jiangnan Hua family?"
Hearing the name of Hua Manlou, Shi Xiuxue immediately pricked up her ears.
Dugu Yihe nodded, "Yes, he is the seventh of this generation of the Hua family."
Sun Xiuqing said in surprise, "I haven't heard that there is a disciple of the Hua family who is... is..."
"Is he blind?" Dugu Yihe laughed, "Because the Hua family was worried that the rumors in the martial arts world would hurt him, they never said it, and Hua Manlou was ridiculed by some disciples in the clan because of his blindness when he was a child, so he left the Hua family early and lived in the countryside."
"That's why he met Lu Xiaofeng and Zhu Ting?" Su Shaoying asked suddenly.
Dugu Yihe shook his head, "Then I don't know."
Shi Xiuxue's maternal instinct was aroused, "How pitiful!"
Dugu Yihe glanced at Shi Xiuxue, "What a pitiful bullshit, the Hua family's mansion in the countryside is no less simple than the main manor, not to mention his parents are also the heads of the Hua family, who dares to wrong him?"
Shi Xiuxue: _
"Anyway, after returning to Emei, we still have to go out of Sichuan on our own." Su Shaoying raised an eyebrow at Shi Xiuxue, "You can go to Jiangnan to look for Hua Manlou."
Shi Xiuxue snorted and said nothing, but her mind was already active.
Next to her, Sun Xiuqing's mind also became active, and a figure dressed in white, Sheng Xue, had already appeared in his mind.
Ma Xiuzhen, on the other hand, looked at Su Shaoying with a pair of phoenix eyes.
Dugu Yihe looked at Su Shaoying, "What are your plans?"
Su Shaoying immediately asked, "What plans does master have?"
"Go back to the mountain first and let your uncles and masters see your swordsmanship." Dugu Yihe had a hint of exhaustion in his eyes, "I'm old and it's time to give up my position."
Su Shaoying was stunned, "You don't want to pass the head of Emei to me, do you?"
Dugu Yihe rolled his eyes, "What a beautiful thought."
Su Shaoying patted her chest, "Then I'll be relieved."
Dugu Yihe stared and said, "Are you still unwilling?"
Su Shaoying shook her head, "I don't want to, being the leader is too tiring. I think the senior brother is smart and good at martial arts, so you should pass it on to him."
The senior brother Su Shaoying was talking about was Zhang Yingfeng in Three Heroes and Four Shows.
"His martial arts skills can't support the reputation of Emei." Dugu Yihe said, "I originally wanted to pass the mastership of Emei to your uncle Xu Wen."
Xu Wen, Dugu Yihe's younger brother, is also one of the masters of the Emei Sect.
"But Shaoying's sword skills are extraordinary now, so I am prepared to hold on for a few more years." Dugu Yihe said calmly, "I will first give you the title of heir to the head of the Emei Sect, are you willing?"
Su Shaoying smacked her lips, "Can I say I don't want to?"
"What do you think?" Dugu Yihe reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword.
"Then I am willing." Su Shaoying nodded decisively.
