Mo Xiuyao said, "The Murong Manor … is not a famous family in Jianghu. It is … the richest family in the world. "
"Huh?" Ye Li was a bit surprised, "The richest family in the world?" Ye Li had seen rich people before. Feng Zhiyao's Feng family was one of the four richest families in Da Chu State, but they did not dare to call themselves the richest family in the world. Then how rich was the Murong family? "How does it compare to the Feng family?" Mo Xiuyao said, "Even five Feng families may not be able to compare to the Murong family's wealth."
Even though she was mentally prepared, Ye Li was still a bit shocked. Mo Xiuyao calmly explained, "The Murong family and the Xu family are the same. They are both famous families that have been around for hundreds of years. However, they are different from the Xu family. The Xu family is a scholarly family, while the Murong family is a business family. Therefore, their status has always been inferior to the Xu family. When Xi Ling and the Da Chu State were still one, the Murong family was already the richest family in the world. Rumor has it that they have three mysterious gold veins in their hands. For many years, whether it was the Emperor Xiling's family or even the Da Chu State's Southern Zhao and Northern Tribes, they all wanted to obtain these veins, but no one succeeded. "
"Rich enough to rival a country … For such a Murong family to be able to establish themselves in Xi Ling for so long, they must have something to rely on?" Ye Li said. Although the status of merchants was the lowest among scholars, farmers, businessmen. However, when it came to food, clothing, housing, wealth, oil, and salt, how could it be separated from business? Since ancient times, those who were truly rich enough to rival a country did not have a good ending.
Mo Xiuyao said, "When Xi Ling was founded, the Murong family helped. After Xi Ling was established, the Murong family naturally received great benefits. Xi Ling's business has always been less prosperous than the Da Chu State. One of the reasons is that the Murong family controls nearly sixty percent of Xi Ling's shops. " Ye Li nodded. One family could control sixty percent of a country's business. Under such a monopoly, it was no wonder that Xi Ling's business was not doing well. If business wasn't easy to do, it would naturally be difficult for business to develop. After thinking for a bit, Ye Li smiled and said, "So you're saying that the Emperor Of Xiling's family has long disliked the Murong family?"
Mo Xiuyao nodded in agreement and smiled, "That's right. But even so, the Emperor Of Xiling doesn't dare to rashly attack the Murong family. Firstly, the Murong family was a businessman, unlike the Prince Ding Mansion. If they were forced into a corner, no matter which country they sided with, the blow to West-Hill would be fatal. In addition, it was said that the Murong family had an extremely powerful expert. Unfortunately, no one has ever seen this expert before. If we provoke him and he decides to fight to the death … Regardless of whether it's the Emperor Of Xiling or Jhennam Of Gojoseon, both of them only have one life. "
"Even Jhennam Of Gojoseon isn't a match for him?" Ye Li was shocked.
Mo Xiuyao lowered his head and looked at her with a smile, "Although the Jianghu martial arts competitions have created the titles of the Four Great Experts, the true experts of this world all live in seclusion. There are also many experts of the older generation who have already retired into the mountains and forests. But if they truly fight, not to mention martial arts, just based on experience and experience, how can the younger generation compare to them? The Murong family is the wealthiest in the world, but for so many years, no one has ever dared to cause trouble or steal anything from the Murong family. Therefore, the saying that there is an expert overseeing the family is somewhat credible. "
"Is the Prince very interested in that mysterious expert?" Ye Li asked when she saw that Mo Xiuyao's eyes were brighter than usual.
Mo Xiuyao shook his head and said, "I can't say if I'm interested or not. If I really meet him, I'll naturally go all out. If I don't meet him, I won't have any regrets. "
If the young Mo Xiuyao knew that there was such a mysterious expert, he would definitely go and challenge him. But the current Mo Xiuyao wouldn't. He is the ruler of the Northwest, responsible for the safety of hundreds of thousands of Mohist army and the people of the Northwest. He is Ye Li's husband and Mo Xiaobao's father. He has to protect their safety and give them a stable and peaceful home. If he really has no choice but to meet that mysterious expert, he can only go all out and fight. If there isn't, then it's not worth it to look for trouble. He is different from Ling Tiehan who wholeheartedly pursues martial arts.
"What kind of people does the Murong family have? I haven't heard of anyone with the surname Murong in the Western Tomb. "Even if she doesn't understand Jianghu, Ye Li still has a certain understanding of the Northwest. It's reasonable to say that with the Murong family's reputation, she shouldn't have missed it.
Mo Xiuyao smiled indifferently and said, "The peak of prosperity is bound to decline. The Murong family has been prosperous for hundreds of years and doesn't have the Xu family to hide their strength and bide their time. Naturally, they also have to pay some price. The previous generation's Murong family's head originally had three sons and four daughters. One of the sons and one daughter died when they reached adulthood. Of the two sons who survived, the more talented one was called Murong Hui. But when he was 23 years old, he died inexplicably. There was another son who was sick since childhood and died before he was 30 years old. He left behind a son and a daughter. Unfortunately … the son was born an idiot. The Murong family's head was worried that the brothers of the side branches would steal his grandson's property and status, so he ruthlessly killed all the brothers and descendants of the side branches. Who knew that the idiot fell into the pond and died when he was 9 years old. Because of this matter, the Murong family's head's vitality was greatly damaged. It is said that he hasn't seen outsiders for many years. It's natural that Ye Li doesn't know. "
Ye Li's heart moved and asked, "Doesn't that mean that in the future, the Murong family's property will belong to the only remaining Miss Murong? How old is that Miss Murong this year? "
Mo Xiuyao was startled. He thought for a moment and said, "It is said that the Murong family's head's granddaughter was three years younger than the idiot who died prematurely. She should be 17 or 18 years old this year. "
Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled. She turned her head to look at Mo Xiuyao and said with a smile, "I don't know why … why do I feel that this Martial Arts Convention has something to do with that Miss Murong?"
Mo Xiuyao lowered his head and leaned against Ye Li's forehead. He laughed in a low voice, "Even if it has something to do with her, it has nothing to do with us. What Ye Li says, isn't that right?"
Ye Li blinked her eyes and said, "The Murong family's wealth is comparable to that of a country. Prince, are you really not moved?"
Mo Xiuyao helplessly sighed and said, "There is no other way. Who told I to marry a princess who, although not as rich as a country, is more precious than a mountain of gold and the Milky Way. Therefore, I don't have the life to touch the Murong family's wealth. "
Ye Li narrowed her eyes and looked at him. She wanted to make an angry appearance, but she couldn't help but want to laugh, "Prince, are you very regretful?" Mo Xiuyao shook his head, "Ye Li and gold cannot have both. I will only give up gold and marry Ye Li. According to what Ye Li said, if it is really like this, then this year's Martial Arts Convention will be very lively. Let's quickly go and see the excitement. But … if the Murong family really wants to choose a husband for their granddaughter, why would they choose the Martial Arts Convention? Most influential and famous people wouldn't go there, right? Could it be that the Murong family only wants to choose a person with strong martial arts? "
"Who knows? Won't we know once we go and see? "
The wild horse caught from Nanzhao was not inferior to a precious treasure horse. It only took them half a day to travel two hundred li. Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li directly entered An City. An City was the fourth largest city in Xi Ling. The two naturally did not have to suffer and found the best inn in the city to stay. This year's Martial Arts Convention was indeed different from the previous ones. Although it was not time yet, the various inns in the city were already full of people. Not only were there Jianghu people, there were also many rich merchants and even influential people. The best rooms in the inn that Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao stayed in were all full. The two of them could only stay in the second-rate Earth room.
