The martial arts journey begins with The King's Ambition

Chapter 143 Another Wedding
Lu Daoyuan said to Xie Xun: "Tuisi, my health is getting worse and worse. The only thing I can't worry about is my youngest daughter Lu Zhixi—Xiao Jiuer. She is lively and active by nature, and with martial arts, it is inevitable that she likes to cause trouble. Accidents. With your care these years, nothing happened. I also want to think about it now. If you don’t bring Wanguan’s wealth with you, you won’t take it with you when you die. Tao Zhugong said: “Wealth gathers and disperses, and prosperity fades away.” He dissipated his family wealth three times and used it for the common people, I intend to follow his example and donate all my property to you for your great cause, and then betroth Xiaojiuer to you."

Xie Xun was taken aback, and said: "Father-in-law, it is my duty to take care of Xiao Jiu'er. Why would you want to betroth Xiao Jiu'er to me? She is only 16 years old, doesn't she have someone she likes?"

Lu Daoyuan said: "If she didn't have this thought, I wouldn't do it either. She has spent more time with you than me since she was a child, and you dote on her in every possible way, and she has always been very close to you After learning martial arts, it is even more impossible to fall in love with ordinary people. I asked her what she meant, and she had this wish from the bottom of her heart. I also asked her sister for her opinion, and her sister had no objection. As for age, it is not a problem , Her mother is also much younger than me, so it's no big deal."

Xie Xun didn't expect Lu Zhiqing to have the same meaning, and he was the last to know.He really liked Lu Zhixi very much, and Lu Zhixi was also very attached to him, but he always felt that she was still young, and it was not time to talk about marriage.

Xie Xun said, "I'll ask Zhiqing first."

Lu Daoyuan said: "Okay, all these sisters can be betrothed to you, which also proves that I did not misunderstand the person at the beginning."

Seeing Xie Xun asking herself, Lu Zhiqing said, "Little Jiu'er has someone like you by her side, can she still fall in love with others? You are always obedient to her. I was also attracted to you at this age. , It's normal for her to fall in love with you."

Xie Xun said: "But she is your sister, and you would agree to her marrying your husband."

Lu Zhiqing wondered: "Why don't you agree? It's a good story that Ehuang and Nvying serve one husband together. How can a person like you only have two wives? She is my younger sister. I watched her grow up. She married You and I can rest assured."

Xie Xun can't fully understand the psychology of women in ancient times. In modern times, it is "fire prevention, theft prevention, and girlfriend protection", but here it is acceptable for girlfriends and younger sisters to marry their husbands.

Lu Zhiqing also had a mentality, as she said, Xie Xun might really become the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in the future, it is impossible for him to have only two wives, so the choice of his wife is of great significance.Currently, his son Xie Wuji is his eldest son, and normally speaking, he will inherit his career and status in the future.But history told her that nothing is absolute, especially when it comes to this kind of succession, the competition is very fierce, even cruel.If the women around Xie Xun could be of one mind with him, that would be the best result for him and his son.Although I can't completely control what kind of woman Xie Xun will marry, and I can't predict what kind of woman she will marry in the future, but of course I must strongly support such a candidate who can obviously help me.

Seeing that Lu Zhiqing did not object, Xie Xun naturally agreed.

Lu Daoyuan called his big shopkeeper and handed over the business to Xie Xun.

Xie Xun looked at the young man in front of him, he was less than 30 years old, and he was as shrewd as a businessman.

Lu Daoyuan said: "Tuisi, this is my current manager, Shen Wansan, he is very talented in business, and he has made great contributions to the expansion of my business in the past few years."

Xie Xun thought to himself, "It turned out to be him."

Xie Xun said: "Okay. I am also a person who likes to do business. Although merchants are at the bottom of the list of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce, I have always believed that merchants are extremely important for exchanging goods and promoting the circulation of resources and currency. But at present, we have no In a society dominated by agriculture, food is the most important thing for the people. When we no longer have to worry about food, the degree of business development will represent the wealth of the society."

Shen Wansan bowed and said: "Master often talked to me about some of the leader's business ideas, and I was greatly inspired. It is also my honor to serve the leader in the future."

Xie Xun said: "You are not a member of my Mingjiao, so you don't need to call me the leader, and everything in your hands has nothing to do with Mingjiao."

Shen Wansan knew that what he was in charge of belonged to Xie Xun's own family business, which was not Mingjiao's property, so he said, "Yes, master."

Everything in the hands of Shen Wansan and Xie Hu is Xie Xun's personal. They can help Mingjiao selflessly, but they cannot belong to Mingjiao. This is why Xie Hu has never joined Mingjiao.Xie Hu is his family, not a subordinate, and the relationship between Xie Hu and Mingjiao has always been a cooperative relationship.

The peak of Huangshan was renamed "Guangmingding", where Xie Xun married the "Nine Princesses of Mingjiao", Lu Zhixi, who was only 16 years old.

This is Xie Xun's third marriage.

The first time she married Lu Zhiqing, her parents traveled all the way to the Northwest secretly, fearing that others would find out.When she married Dai Qisi for the second time, only people from the Ming Cult attended, but when the people from the Persian Church overtook her, it was considered a salute for the wedding.

This time it was completely different. Xie Xun's marriage disturbed the entire martial arts world. In the Central Plains martial arts world, no matter whether they were famous or not, they all came to congratulate Xie Xun. They all want to hug Mingjiao's thigh.

The heads of Shaolin, Beggars, Huashan, Kongtong, Qinghai, etc. all came to congratulate in person, and the most sensational one was Wudang Zhang Sanfeng who was present in person.With Xie Xun's current strength, he is also worthy of letting Zhenren Zhang go down the mountain.

Master Emei Miejue was the most hostile to Mingjiao, she would not come, but she also sent congratulatory gifts, and with her personality, this was already the biggest concession.

Of the six major factions in the Central Plains that were vigorous back then, she was the only one left who still hated Mingjiao alone. For example, Huashan and Kongtong had already launched extensive cooperation with Mingjiao, and their strength has also developed rapidly.Wudang has always maintained a very close personal relationship with Xie Xun.Shaolin is afraid of the development of Mingjiao, but it still has to live in face, which is also Shaolin's mature diplomatic philosophy.As for Kunlun, it has long been forgotten, and the rest of their disciples were brainwashed by Mingjiao and joined Mingjiao.

When Zhang Sanfeng came, Xie Xun naturally received him personally, and he had to accompany him all the way, so no one else would pay attention.

Shaolin is inevitably sour, they are the largest sect in the world, and Zhang Sanfeng is an abandoned disciple of Shaolin, they have always had a grudge with the Wudang sect.

Today, Abbot Kongwen, the head of the sect, led the four great monks Kongjian, Kongzhi, and Kongxing, but they were still not as important as Zhang Sanfeng alone.

With Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation, naturally he wouldn't have trouble with Shaolin. Seeing that the eminent Shaolin monk was there, he went to say hello first, with a kind attitude and no overbearing attitude.

Zhang Sanfeng wrote "A Match Made in Heaven" for Xie Xun, which was regarded as a gift from Wudang.

Zhang Sanfeng is excellent in both literature and martial arts, especially his calligraphy is unrivaled in the world. Xie Xun asked people to have Zhang Sanfeng's calligraphy mounted, which can be a family heirloom.

Zhang Sanfeng said to Xie Xun: "Tuisi, after Huashan Discussing Swords, Yuanqiao and the others returned to Wudang Mountain, talking about your martial arts, the old Taoist sighed!"

This is Zhang Sanfeng's own admission that Xie Xun is number one in the world.

Xie Xun said modestly: "The real person has won the prize. Of course, you are not as good as me, maybe even not as good as many people in terms of killing techniques, but in terms of understanding and realm of martial arts, there is no one in the world who can compare with you. I These years I have been busy with mundane affairs, and I have not had the opportunity to listen to your teachings. I am very envious of the virtuous brothers who can stay by your side at any time. In the future, when these mundane things no longer bother me, I plan to go to Wudang Mountain again to learn from real people Woolen cloth."

Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "Tuisi has great ambitions and great talent, the old Taoist is willing to chat with Tuisi."

Xie Xun asked: "My lord, in today's world, the flames of flames ignite the prairie fire. I want to end this chaotic day as soon as possible, and restore peace to the world. After all, the role of chivalry is too small. Why don't you virtuous brothers join my volunteer army for great things? "

Zhang Sanfeng's vision for recruiting disciples is still very good, Xie Xun has been seducing Wudang young heroes, but has not been successful, Wudang young heroes are unwilling to leave Zhang Sanfeng, where can I find a master like Zhang Sanfeng?

So Xie Xun started directly from Zhang Sanfeng, not asking them to join the Mingjiao, but to let them join the rebel army. This was also Xie Xun's method to reduce the proportion of Mingjiao people under his command.One family cannot be the only one, but power must be decentralized. The more factions there are, the more conducive it is to centralization.Otherwise, like Zhu Yuanzhang, who started his career by relying on the Mingjiao, and finally wiped out the Mingjiao, the former comrades-in-arms would end up fighting each other, which is really embarrassing.

Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "Tuisi can talk to them directly!"

Xie Xun said helplessly: "I told them all, but unfortunately they didn't agree. They just wanted to practice martial arts with real people, and they refused to help me, so I begged real people."

Zhang Sanfeng thought for a while and asked, "Then who do you see?"

Xie Xun said with a smile, "I'm all set on it."

Zhang Sanfeng laughed, pointed at Xie Xun and shook his head, said: "You are too greedy, you want to take over my Wudang! I also want to inherit Wudang. If you are like this, I won't speak for you."

Xie Xun also laughed and said, "Then who do you think is suitable for real people?"

Zhang Sanfeng said: "I don't want to part with any of them, you better say it, I'll figure it out."

Xie Xun pondered for a while, and said, "Yuanqiao is currently in charge of the affairs of the entire Wudang faction, and he will definitely become the head of Wudang sect in the future. It is not suitable for him to come; I think Cuishan has the highest understanding, maybe he can get your mantle, Wudang martial arts has flourished, and his personality may not be able to adapt to our place. How about letting Lianzhou, Daiyan and Songxi come to my place? It’s not about letting them leave the Wudang sect. If you want to learn martial arts from a real person, you can learn martial arts at any time .”

Zhang Sanfeng said: "That's too much, I have only a few disciples who became a master, and most of them were taken away by you."
