Ning Fengzhi even said bluntly that Canaan City would be the next target of the Spirit Hall's suppression.
The principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend does not apply to them, because the city of Canaan is also their enemy.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang even felt a little gloating. If the Spirit Hall really destroyed Han Yu, it would undoubtedly be a great joy for them.
After thinking for a while, Tang San suggested: "Teacher, Mu Bai is an important part of our plan after all. I think we should discuss this matter with him. His opinion is very important, so as to avoid any disagreements in the future and cause any trouble."
"Okay, go and call him over. There are some things we really need to let him know." Yu Xiaogang nodded.
Tang San moved quickly and brought Dai Mubai over soon.
Now they were in the start-up phase, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not want to keep idle people. As the disciples of the Power Clan started construction business in the city, the medicinal materials business was in urgent need of manpower. Tang San also arranged several of the Shrek Seven Devils in different positions.
"Master, Xiao San, what do you want from us?" Dai Mubai dusted himself off and asked curiously.
Dust rose up, and the aroma of medicinal herbs wafted over. That's right, Dai Mubai was one of the managers of the medicinal materials warehouse.
Yu Xiaogang took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered his nose habitually, "Mu Bai, Xiao San and I have discussed something and I need your opinion on it."
"My opinion?" Dai Mubai was puzzled.
Normally, all decisions of the Shrek Seven Devils were made by Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. When did Dai Mubai's opinion become so important?
After Tang San's words, Dai Mubai finally understood.
He himself must give a clear answer to this matter.
That was the throne, the position he had always dreamed of.
Dai Mubai burst into tears of joy and quickly expressed his attitude, "Master, Xiao San, I agree. I will listen to you and do whatever you ask me to do."
"Look, you're anxious again." Yu Xiaogang smiled faintly and said, "Mu Bai, a qualified emperor will at least not easily reveal his true feelings. The throne is indeed precious, but if you lose your patience, the plan that Xiao San and I have made may fail."
Tang San continued, "Mu Bai, first of all, before my uncle (Master Haotian) and I reach a consensus, this matter cannot be concluded. If my uncle is interested, he will definitely talk to you. But if you behave like this, I don't think it will work."
Hearing that the throne would slip through his fingers, Dai Mubai immediately became anxious. He grabbed Tang San's hands and said anxiously: "Xiao San, what should I do? I will listen to your arrangements. If I become the emperor, you will be the king of a different surname in the Xing Luo Empire. Master is the national teacher, you must think of a way."
Although Dai Mubai's performance was poor, the promise he made inadvertently was very useful in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
At the beginning, he left the family just to prove himself. Now, after wasting half his life, he was able to become the Imperial Master of the Xingluo Empire, which was enough for him to prove himself.
"Mu Bai, I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious. If I want to train you in a short period of time, the effect may not be very obvious. How about this, you quit your job in the medicine warehouse for a few days and follow Xiao San to learn some ways of dealing with things."
"Also, you can agree on some secret codes with Xiao San. Xiao San is very calm and efficient in handling things. It will be of great help to you if you refer to Xiao San's opinions more often."
Although Yu Xiaogang did not say it explicitly, his words revealed that he wanted Dai Mubai to act according to Tang San's mood. Moreover, even if he became the emperor in the future, he would be a puppet emperor.
Dai Mubai was born into a royal family, so he might not understand the ways of the world, but he naturally knew a lot about court affairs as he had been exposed to them since he was a child.
But he had no choice. Tang San relied on the power of the Haotian Sect to help him get to the top, and he could also use the power of the Haotian Sect to support others. It was just that in the process of exchanging interests, Dai Mubai could give them the greatest benefit.
Dai Mubai had already made up his mind. He would become an emperor, even if he was just a puppet. At that time, he would let the imperial teacher Yu Xiaogang and the regent Tang Sanda handle the government affairs, and he would concentrate on enjoying himself. Wouldn't that be great?
"Master is right. I will definitely learn a lot from Xiao San. In the future, if you tell me to go east, I, Dai Mubai, will never go west."
Seeing that the other party was very sensible, Tang San smiled and said, "Mu Bai, you are too polite. We are all classmates, so I naturally have reasons to support you to be the emperor. Besides, we both have a common enemy."
As long as Dai Mubai is obedient, things will be easy afterwards.
"Mu Bai, I will find a solution for your injury as soon as possible." Tang San said: "At present, more than half of the herbs have been collected. The next few herbs may be difficult to find. But don't worry, I, Tang San, will definitely do what I promised you."
"Mistress!" Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with tears and he was deeply moved.
After a while of pleasantries, Dai Mubai finally left Yu Xiaogang's room. The first thing he did after leaving was to quit his current job.
Although he lost his source of income in the short term, for long-term investment, the loss of this little money is not a big deal.
Tang San was not idle either. After getting Dai Mubai's reply, he still needed to stabilize Ning Fengzhi.
They have limited funds, so they must work together. If Ning Fengzhi continues with his original plan, then Tang San will have to consider a backup plan.
…
In the temporary sect ancestral hall of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Gu Rong sat on a chair and couldn't help but sighed: "Feng Zhi, the disciples below have been very dissatisfied these days."
It is easy to go from simple to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to frugal. This saying is absolutely true.
The disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect were used to living a life of luxury, but now not only has their income dropped drastically, they are also required to personally participate in labor. Furthermore, there are very few entertainment facilities in Carlo City, so they have no place to spend their money.
At first, they were still immersed in the grief of the sect's destruction and did not complain for a short time. But as Tai Tan took the disciples of the Power Clan away, someone had to do the miscellaneous, dirty and tiring work. Ning Fengzhi did not have much spare money to hire servants, and these disciples were likely to reveal their identities inadvertently. At that time, troubles would ensue.
Therefore, even if he had money, he could not, or dared not, hire servants.
"Uncle Gu, it would be good to temper them. The sect is in a special period now, and we cannot let them do whatever they want. Also, stop them from going to the Spirit Hall to receive the Spirit Master subsidy. Those who violate the rules will be punished according to the clan law."
Gu Rong suggested, "Feng Zhi, I'm worried that things will turn against us. How about this? I'll find some mutes in the city to work as servants. While improving the quality of life of the disciples, they won't leak our information. As for these mutes, as long as we provide them with food, we don't even have to pay them."
For ordinary families, a dumb person is a money-loser. Not only can he not find a job, but he also eats the rice at home for free. Only the dumb people born in aristocratic families have a slightly better life.
Ning Fengzhi thought about it and agreed. It was just a few more mouths to feed, and the current Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could still afford it.
"Uncle Gu, you must personally supervise the selection of personnel to prevent normal people from sneaking in. In addition, for some confidential work, you can also find some blind people."
After dealing with an important matter within the clan, Ning Fengzhi was about to take a break when he heard Tang San's voice.
"Uncle Ning, are you free? I have something important to discuss with you."
Even if Tang San didn't say it, Ning Fengzhi would have guessed what was going on.
Tang San is an expert on medicinal materials, and no one would ask for his opinion.
"Xiao San, come here, Uncle Gu and I are here."
Entering the ancestral hall, Tang San bowed and saluted, "Uncle Ning, Senior Bone Douluo."
"Xiao San, please sit down first."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
After Tang San sat down, Ning Fengzhi continued: "Xiao San, if there is anything important, just tell me. Uncle Gu and I will think of a solution for you."
Tang San didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Uncle Ning, let's talk about what I said before. I very much agree with your decision. But I think that supporting Mu Bai to ascend the throne and take control of the Xing Luo Empire will yield higher future returns than the Tian Dou Empire. In addition, the investment cost is relatively low."
"I know Mu Bai inside and out. Some things will never happen again."
Ning Fengzhi also wanted to, but Dai Mubai's performance made him lose all confidence.
Gu Rong sneered, "Dai Mubai is indeed good, but he has not yet grown up. We can't afford to wait. You have to know that after the re-election meeting of the seven major sects, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will gradually fade out of the mainland's vision in the future. We have to rebuild the sect before the influence of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect disappears, so that we can have a chance to rebuild the glory of the sect. We can't afford to waste time."
This is almost an open secret, so it's okay for Gu Rong to say so.
Tang San smiled and said slowly: "Senior Bone Douluo, in the past, it did take us a long time. But now that the Haotian Sect has moved to the territory of the Xingluo Empire, we can definitely join forces to push Mu Bai to that position."
"Mu Bai once told me that if Sect Master Ning is willing to help him, he will give the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect the same power and status it had in the Heaven Dou Empire."
These are the things that Ning Fengzhi is interested in.
However, for an old fox, he would not express his opinion immediately, "Xiao San, how about this. If the Haotian Sect supports Dai Mubai, the Qibao Liuli Sect will unconditionally support Dai Mubai's ascension to the throne. However, before that, I still need to meet with Sect Master Tang."
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can only gamble once. Once it fails, it will be a bottomless abyss. Ning Fengzhi has no choice but to be cautious.
Tang San nodded, "Uncle Ning, I will send a message to my uncle later to let him know in advance. We will pay a visit after the Haotian Sect is completed."
"Okay."
…
The migration of Haotian Sect went quite smoothly. Xue Qinghe was afraid that they would stay here and not leave, so he not only opened the door for them along the way, but also urged them to speed up when they passed by some cities.
"Master, I think it's best to wait and see what happens." The second elder said in a deep voice: "Canaan City is indeed at odds with Spirit Hall, but don't forget that they still have the Heaven Dou Empire behind them. If Spirit Hall wants to maintain their interests in the Heaven Dou Empire, they will definitely not have an open conflict with Canaan City."
"The main source of income for Canaan City is the Canaan Chamber of Commerce. As long as their relationship with Xue Qinghe lasts one day, the wealth they can earn will be endless. So, Sect Master, there is no need for us to contact them now."
The Second Elder gave his opinion on Tang Xiao's desire to join forces with Han Yu.
Tang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Among the new seven major sects, six are minions of the Spirit Hall. What happened not long ago may have been intentional on their part. When the storm has passed, the Spirit Hall may contact Han Yu. I am worried that Han Yu will turn to the Spirit Hall camp. By then, our situation will be even more disadvantageous."
The second elder nodded, "Master, this is indeed a problem. But now, our top priority is to build the new headquarters of the sect and settle the clan members. At this critical juncture, I don't think it is worth doing something with a low success rate."
"Besides, we came to the Xingluo Empire for our own interests."
"I heard that the second prince of Xingluo Empire, Dai Mubai, is a good classmate of Tang San. If we can gain greater benefits from him, why don't we support him?"
Hearing this, Tang Xiao finally remembered.
"Second Elder, I have heard of Dai Mubai. However, Davis is in power now. Even if our Haotian Sect enters the territory of the Xingluo Empire, the Xingluo Empire will most likely not let us touch the court in order to guard against us."
"In Davis' current state, as long as he does not lose Dai Tianfeng's trust, the future emperor of Xingluo Empire can only be him. Pushing Dai Mubai out now will not only alert the enemy, but may also cause Davis to change his opinion of us. I personally think this is not worth it."
The second elder heard what Tang Xiao said and thought that he had some truth in his words, so he did not intend to speak. However, the third elder had a different opinion.
"Master, have you ever thought about why Davis treats us so well?"
"In terms of strength, there are a lot of hidden sects in the Xingluo Empire. Davis can definitely find them. After the re-election meeting of the seven major sects, the influence of our Haotian Sect is constantly increasing. The Xingluo Empire is also a very centralized country, and it will not watch us grow stronger."
Tang Xiao glanced at him and said, "Third Elder, what do you mean?"
The third elder continued, "Master, I think Davis is trying to win us over because he wants to do something but doesn't dare to do it, and he needs our help. As the heir to the Star Luo Empire, he will do that at any cost."
At this point, Tang Xiao immediately understood.
"I'm afraid the turbulent situation on the mainland will not end in the short term. The Second Elder is right. We still have to wait."
