Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 2: Taking advantage of others' misfortune
When Yinlan Villa was destroyed, Emperor Qintianzong did not even lend a helping hand. Even when Tangjiabao wiped out the entire Yinlan Villa, Emperor Qintianzong did not stand up and say a word.
Therefore, there is no emotion at all in this kind of cooperation based on interests.
Perhaps Emperor Qintian believed that handing over their glamorous business to Tangjiabao was a gift to them. It was a way of sharing the money with them, and Tangjiabao should be grateful to them and certainly could not refuse!
However, Tang Boyuan laughed: "With a lot of money rolling in, making a fortune every day...then why doesn't Emperor Qintian put himself out in the open?"
In the courtyard of Tangjiabao, there is a small flower field of luxurious flowers. Tang Boyuan knows very well that growing luxurious flowers is troublesome and time-consuming, and there is also risk to one's life. Moreover, even if they are grown, they are just providing raw materials, and they are the link with the least benefit in the whole profit chain.
Moreover, the reason why Emperor Qintianzong did not do it himself was not because he could not, but because he did not dare!
Although Wulong Town is a lawless area, the large area is filled with decadence and extravagance. If one day some noble family has some free time and decides to take charge, even a clan power like the Qintian Sect will not be able to withstand it.
The reason why there must be a Yinlan Villa or a Tangjiabao is because once something happens, someone can be thrown out by the Qintian Sect to take the blame.
"If we want to earn this much money, Tangjiabao will be dragged into a bottomless pit." Tang Boyuan said to Tang Zhengdao: "Although we can make a fortune for a while, once something goes wrong, Tangjiabao will be doomed, sooner or later!"
"Uncle sees it clearly!" Tang Zheng laughed.
"Besides, it was you who taught Xiaotang and the others that a gentleman should do what he should do and shouldn't do what he shouldn't do." Tang Boyuan looked out the window and said firmly, "I remember you told Xiaotang and the others a story about Lin... something?"
"Lin Zexu." Tang Xiaotang said.
"Yes, it was Lin Zexu... Lin Zexu's destruction of opium at Humen!" Tang Boyuan nodded. "To be honest, I, Tang Boyuan, am just a small figure in Xingyao Continent. I don't know who Lin Zexu is, and I don't have the courage to be an enemy of such a huge interest chain. However, I at least know that the children of noble families with superior talents are very important resources for fighting against the monsters, and the extravagant life is sold to those children ..."
Tang Boyuan's attitude was actually very clear from the beginning. He would definitely not agree to Emperor Qintianzong.
Eighty percent of the profits are actually not a big deal.
What is most important in Tang Boyuan's eyes is the future of Tangjiabao and the strength and character of the children of Tangjiabao, so he would try every means to invite the teacher to come.
Tang Zheng didn't care at all. The shop he took over from Yinlan Villa and the property he moved from the villa were nothing compared to the purple gold in Tang Zheng's belt.
However, Tang Boyuan would never get involved in drug trafficking!
Tang Zheng was not surprised by Tang Boyuan's choice. He nodded and said, "Well, now that the Qintian Sect is at our doorstep, how are you going to deal with it, uncle?"
Tang Boyuan sneered and said, "The Qintian Sect and the Hidden Blue Villa are different. They have no grudges against us. They just want to force us to do something, and they won't kill us all. You youngsters should go to Feishi City to prepare for the exam first, and we old bones will stay here to deal with them slowly... As long as any of our Tang Family Fort disciples get the nameplate of the Aristocratic Family Academy, they won't dare to mess around in Tang Family Fort again!"
"Well, this is the only thing we can do." Tang Zheng glanced at Tang Xiaotang and saw a hint of worry in her eyes.
Tangjiabao had just experienced a great battle. Now, it was impossible for it to fight against Qintianzong head-on, neither in terms of strength nor energy. Tang Boyuan could only deal with them slowly and delay time.
By the time Tang Xiaotang officially enrolled in Yisuli Academy, ordinary sects and forces no longer had the courage to attack Tangjiabao.
However, there are still one or two months before the autumn harvest, which is too long.
"Let's do this for now." Tang Boyuan waved his hand. Anyway, there was no better solution at the moment. "Tang Zheng, you all should pack your bags. It seems that people can sign up for the entrance exam for Yisu Academy at the age of twelve. All the people in your family who are over twelve years old and under twenty-five should go."
"Yeah." Tang Xiaotang bit her lip.
Now she could only hope that Tang Boyuan could hold out a little longer.
And she must succeed and not fail if she is admitted to Yisu Academy!
But on the way back, Tang Zheng did not have such optimistic expectations. What Tangjiabao could think of, Emperor Qintianzong could also think of. Perhaps it was because he could think of it that he forced them to give an answer within three days.
Can Tang Boyuan really delay that long?
Moreover, Tang Zheng has not forgotten about him and Emperor Qintianzong, but there is still some personal grudge between them. It is not a good thing to keep it in his heart and not resolve it!
…
The reconstruction of Tangjiabao began in full swing from the early morning of the next day.
Although they were reluctant to leave Tangjiabao at this time, Xiaotang and the others also knew that preparing for the entrance examination to the academy was a very, very important matter. Only by successfully entering the academy could they quickly improve in martial arts. Only by becoming powerful warriors could they change the passive situation of Tangjiabao being bullied by others.
They have not forgotten what Tang Zheng taught them in class - study for the rise of Tangjiabao.
From today on, they left Tangjiabao with their heads down.
It’s all for the day when they come back with their heads held high!
"Qin Tianzong!" While packing her luggage, Tang Xiaotang silently memorized these three words deeply in her heart, turning them into boundless motivation.
Compared to Tang Xiaotang and her friends who had to bring clothes, shoes, jewelry, and even some children aged twelve or thirteen who brought toys, Tang Zheng had almost nothing to bring.
Before leaving, go to Ban Yilou to get his identity badge, and exchange the pure gold for a linen bag of purple gold coins, and then you can set off.
But just as they packed their luggage, a servant came running over.
Tang Boyuan wore formal attire and stood on the martial arts training ground.
"Dad..." Tang Xiaotang clenched her lips again.
"Go, all of you go." Tang Boyuan listened to Xiaotang's slightly trembling voice and gently touched her head, with a look of reluctance on his face as well.
The two looked at each other for a long time. Xiaotang shook her head and took Tang Boyuan's hand away. She looked at the Qintian Sect disciple who was blocking the door not far away: "Dad, don't worry! The teacher once told us a story about "Battle Through the Heavens". There is a sentence in it that I have always kept in my heart and have never forgotten-"
"oh?"
"It is better to bully an old man with white beard than to bully a poor young man. Things change over time. Dad... our backs as we leave today will forever be a shadow for the Qintian Sect!"
"The backs of you leaving today will become the eternal shadow of the Qintian Sect!" Tang Boyuan clapped his hands twice, "Good! Good! You are still young... You are very good..."
Tang Boyuan lowered his head, secretly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, then raised his head, feeling greatly relieved.
However, just as they were getting ready to go, a servant ran in in a panic.
"Castle Lord, Sister Xiaotang, something bad has happened... something bad has happened..." The servant stumbled and bumped into the things Tang Xiaotang had packed.
His voice was very panicked, and when I heard it, I thought it was the ancestor of the Lan family who had resurrected and came to knock on the door again.
In front of the little servant, Tang Xiaotang immediately put away her sad expression, patted the servant on the shoulder, and said in a very elder sister style: "Little melon, speak slowly, you have also attended the teacher's class, have you forgotten what the teacher said? You must remain calm when encountering big things!"
"Sister Xiaotang, okay, I'll calm down, calm down..." The servant named Xiaogua took two deep breaths, "Yes, the people from the Qintian Sect came... to the gate of our Tangjiabao and blocked the door!"
"What did you say?! What's blocking the door?" Xiaotang suddenly widened his eyes and asked loudly.
"That's right. Today we were preparing to go out to buy some groceries, and we found that some people were blocking the road leading out of Tangjiabao. They were strictly checking everyone who was going out. They had to explain the reason and register before letting them go. Eight out of ten people who went out in the morning were stopped! Those of us who were just going out for fun were not allowed to go..." Xiaogua slowly told the whole story.
"Oh my gosh!" Xiaotang became furious when she heard that. She threw the luggage in her hand to the ground with a bang and rushed out.
"Sister Xiaotang, didn't you say you should calm down..." Xiaogua murmured blankly as he looked at Xiaotang's back.
Tang Zheng hurriedly followed.
What he thought of actually happened .
They were preparing to set off for the academy, but, they were afraid they couldn't leave at all!
"This is too much, this is too much!" Tang Xiaotang ran while her chest rose and fell violently, "What do they mean? What do they mean? If we don't agree to their drug trafficking, they won't let us go out to take the entrance exam, right?"
"No, they are not going too far, but they are taking advantage of others' misfortune!" Tang Zheng looked at the ruins along the way to Tangjiabao, and his voice gradually became cold.
After the battle with Yinlan Villa, Tangjiabao was filled with wounded soldiers and the castle was in a mess.
The two Qintian Sect disciples who entered the fort yesterday saw the tragic situation in Tangjiabao, so of course they followed and took advantage of the situation!
However, all they saw were some ruins and bloodstains everywhere in the fort, but they did not see the faces of the young men from the Tang family who came and went, all filled with determination and vigor!
Tang Xiaotang stopped walking.
Tang Zheng also stood where he was and did not rush to the door. He closed the fan in his hand, making a sharp sound of metal grinding.
