Silver Moon City! Xiaoyue Mountain Manor!
Gu Hai looked at the slip of paper that Long Wanqing gave him.
"This is?" Gu Hai looked at Long Wanqing and Venerable Liu Nian.
"When you fled with one million copper men, we went to look for He Shikang. He Shikang refused to say anything. However, when Yun Mo used Gouchen's state to bind him, he gave me a slip of paper in his panic," Long Wanqing explained.
"Huangfu Chaoge?" Gu Hai looked at the name on the slip of paper.
"It should be the Mister Huangfu we are looking for. In the past, he and He Shikang often attended my mother's zither recitals. After my mother died, they did not come to mourn. Previously, you guessed that Mister Huangfu and He Shikang knew something," Long Wanqing said seriously.
"Huangfu Chaoge? You know each other?" Gu Hai looked at the two in confusion.
Venerable Liu Nian took a deep breath and nodded. "Indeed. I did not expect this Mister Huangfu to be him. To think that he came to Xiaoyue's zither recitals. Haha! He must have taken a lot of risks by coming to the zither recitals. "
"Oh?"
"Do you know who Lüyang Of Gojoseon is fighting at the frontlines?" Long Wanqing smiled bitterly.
"You mentioned it before. I think it's called the God Foothill Dynasty. Originally, this God Foothill Dynasty was a vassal of the Da Qian Celestial Empire. However, it now broke its alliance with the Da Qian Celestial Empire, betraying the Da Qian Celestial Empire and forming an alliance with a rival dynasty of the Da Qian Celestial Empire. The frontlines are where the Lüyang Of Gojoseon is attacking the God Foothill Dynasty? "Gu Hai asked, feeling puzzled.
Long Wanqing nodded and said, "Indeed. Huangfu Chaoge is the master of the God Foothill Dynasty. Twenty years ago, even though he allied with the Da Qian Dynasty, he was not allowed to enter the Da Qian Celestial Empire. Back then, he should have hidden his identity to attend my mother's zither recitals. "
"Huangfu Chaoge, he knows how your mother died? Gu Hai frowned. "Are you declaring war with the Da Qian?"
"Yes!" Long Wanqing nodded.
"Then what are you worried about? Wasn't that a good thing? With a clue, can't we just go find him? "Gu Hai said with a smile.
Long Wanqing smiled bitterly, "But he is now the enemy of the Da Qian! It's not good for us to go! "
"There's nothing wrong with that. Only the three of us know about this matter!" Solemnly, Gu Hai said Gu Hai.
The two nodded.
"Gu Hai, Hall Master, Grandmaster!" Mu Chenfeng rushed in from outside the hall.
"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Mu Chenfeng.
Ever since Mu Chenfeng went all out to help Gu Hai break open the city gate, Gu Hai's attitude towards her improved a lot.
"He Shikang is dead! I heard that he committed suicide at the City Lord's Residence! "Mu Chenfeng explained.
"Oh? He's dead? "Long Wanqing raised her eyebrows.
Gu Hai and Venerable Liu Nian exchanged glances, and a sinister look flashed in their eyes.
"Also, I heard that bandits robbed the one million bronze men that Sima Changkong sent to escort!" Mu Chenfeng said with a frown.
"Bandits?" Long Wanqing felt slightly stunned.
"How bold! To be so unbridled and unrestrained? To think that they dared to openly rob the imperial court's escort? "Venerable Liu Nian said with an unsightly expression.
"Who knows?" Mu Chenfeng frowned.
"Alright, this is not something that we should worry about. The old Manor Lord's memorial service is about to start, right?" Gu Hai asked.
"It should be about time." Mu Chenfeng nodded.
"Let's go and say our farewells to the old Manor Lord's corpse. We are indebted to him for taking care of us on this trip to Silver Moon City," Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"Right!" Everyone nodded.
Outside Xiaoyue Mountain Villa:
Fairy Wan 'er sat on an immortal crane. When she passed by Xiaoyue Mountain Villa, she looked at the fog-shrouded floating island with a complicated expression.
Gu Hai is there.
Liar? Scoundrel? Benefactor?
At this moment, Fairy Wan 'er's heart was in chaos. The insignificant person that she looked down on in the past made her feel helpless again and again, angering her to the point of vomiting blood several times. Furthermore, he made her the target of public condemnation. That feeling was unbearable.
This was a person that she should have fought to the death. In the end, he was the one who saved her at the most crucial moment.
At that time, no one could save him. Not even his own master could save him. But in that moment of despair, this swindler appeared. How could he not? How could this swindler appear? That was a kind of redemption that appeared in despair. Originally, it was a huge shock to her soul, but it was that liar?
"Hmph, liar, I'm not done with you!" Fairy Wan 'er cursed with a complicated tone.
Riding the immortal crane, they quickly flew towards the city gate. Not long after, they arrived at the city gate.
Once out of the city gate, Fairy Wan 'er took out a flying boat and sat in the driver's seat. She controlled the flying boat and flew towards the south.
Silver Moon Mountain Villa!
In the past, it was crowded with people and everyone wanted to visit the mountain gate but couldn't. Now, Silver Moon Mountain Villa was exceptionally desolate. Inside and outside the villa, it was cold and cheerless.
Most of the disciples of the villa were in the main hall of the villa.
The surroundings were covered with white cloth. In the main hall of the villa, Silver Moon Palace was the mourning hall of the old Manor Lord.
The old Manor Lord's corpse was placed in a coffin in the center of the mourning hall.
Yun Mo wore mourning clothes and knelt in the center of the mourning hall, holding the items left behind by the old Manor Lord.
He took one and reminisced for a while, then put it in a brazier and burned it, hoping to pass it to the old Manor Lord who had entered the netherworld.
Yun Mo's eyes were red. The disciples of the old Manor Lord knelt around him.
In the main hall, there was a sense of sadness, but outside the main hall, there was a lot of noise.
"It's all Yun Mo's fault. Otherwise, the old Manor Lord wouldn't have died without dignity!"
"What's the use of Silver Moon Mountain Villa without the old Manor Lord? No one wants the guqin of Silver Moon Mountain Villa now! "
"I don't want to stay in Silver Moon Mountain Villa anymore. What's the point of staying?"
"Bastard, the old Manor Lord just left, and you're rebelling? The old Manor Lord said to listen to the young Manor Lord in the future! "
"You're the bastard. What future do you have by following him? Now in Silver Moon City, no, in the entire guqin circle, Yun Mo is hated by everyone! "
… … …
… … …
… … …
The disciples of the villa outside the door were divided into two factions, arguing.
Yun Mo burned the remains of the old Manor Lord and sighed slightly. "Stop arguing. The Manor Lord just passed away. Let him rest in peace!"
His voice spread outside the main hall.
The two factions that were arguing suddenly stopped.
"Humph, what's the use of pretending to burn the remains of the Manor Lord? The Manor Lord's human soul has become Sima Changkong's tonic. Without the human soul, you can't see the mourning hall at all. Do you really think you can burn it to the netherworld? "A disciple of the villa said sarcastically.
Yun Mo took a deep breath and said, "The Manor Lord just passed away. If anyone dares to gossip, don't blame me for being rude!"
The faces of the disciples of the villa darkened.
"When the Manor Lord is buried, it's up to you whether you want to leave or stay. When you first joined Silver Moon Mountain Villa, you signed a contract. Once you joined, you could never betray the villa. Otherwise, Silver Moon Mountain Villa would hunt you down for thousands of miles. That's because the forging method of Silver Moon Mountain Villa is a secret that can't be leaked. Do you think I don't know why you're arguing? I've tarnished the reputation of the villa. Do you want to take the Silver Moon Forging Method and start a new business? Haha, go. I'll return the slave contract to you. Those who want to leave can leave. Those who want to stay can stay. There's only one thing. Before the Manor Lord is buried, behave yourself! "Yun Mo said in a low voice.
"Ah? Young Manor Lord, you can't do that. If you do that, the forging method of Silver Moon Mountain Villa … "A few disciples of the villa who were loyal to Yun Mo said anxiously.
However, the eyes of some of the disciples who had their own thoughts lit up.
The argument from before suddenly stopped.
They had the method of Silver Moon Mountain Villa to forge their guqin. Once they left Silver Moon Mountain Villa, they could start a new business wherever they went. Would Yun Mo give them the slave contract?
The mourning hall finally looked like a mourning hall.
Yun Mo felt slightly bitter.
"Young Manor Lord, Elite Hall Master Long Wanqing, Master Liu Nian, and Gu Hai have come to mourn the Old Manor Lord!" A disciple of the villa said respectfully.
"Oh?" Yun Mo was slightly surprised. He nodded and said, "Invite them in!"
"Yes!"
Soon, Gu Hai's group entered the hall.
Although Long Wanqing was the Elite Hall Master, she purposely let Gu Hai stand in the center. Master Liu Nian watched from the side but did not say anything.
When Gu Hai's group entered the hall, they did not greet the crowd. Instead, they walked to the side and took out some incense sticks. Then, they walked to the Old Manor Lord's coffin and offered him one.
Master Liu Nian and Long Wanqing also offered incense sticks to the Old Manor Lord.
After offering incense, the three bowed three times to the Old Manor Lord.
"Many thanks, Mr. Goode, Hall Master Long, and Master Liu Nian!" Yun Mo stood up and bowed to the three.
These three were the first to come to pay respects to the Old Manor Lord. Yun Mo had to be grateful for this respect for the Old Manor Lord.
"Young Manor Lord, please restrain your grief!" Gu Hai sighed softly.
Yun Mo's eyes were still red as he nodded.
"I am indebted to the Old Manor Lord for taking care of me in the past. Gu Hai has nothing to repay you with. Can I speak with Young Manor Lord for a while outside the room?" Gu Hai asked Gu Hai solemnly.
Yun Mo felt slightly suspicious but still nodded.
The group walked out of the mourning hall and sat down in a pavilion outside.
"Mr. Goode, what can I do for you?" Yun Mo asked, feeling puzzled.
"Gu Hai still remembers Young Manor Lord's promise to the Old Manor Lord on Silver Moon Island. It is still fresh in his mind. Back then, when Gu Hai first entered Silver Moon City, he was interested in the First Pavilion's piano. The piano I'm selling is just a perverted technique. If you want to shake the world's number one piano pavilion, it's not something that can be done overnight. It was the Old Manor Head who helped me. He added a new meaning to my Canon! I can't do anything about the Old Manor Lord's resignation. The only thing I can do now is to hope that Young Manor Lord will not abandon the First Pavilion on this street! "Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"Huh?" Yun Mo looked at Gu Hai, puzzled.
"The First Pavilion on this street will open branches soon. With Silver Moon City as the center, we will spread to all the big cities in the world. Perhaps our expansion speed is slow, but our model makes it easy to set up chain stores. Please believe that the First Pavilion on this street will spread to all the big cities in the world one day!" Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"So what?" Yun Mo looked at Gu Hai, puzzled.
"Most of the zithers in the First Pavilion on this street are foreign zithers. There is no zither that belongs to us. Although foreign zithers are good, my principles will never be controlled by others. Therefore, I hope that Young Manor Lord can condescend and lead Silver Moon Villa to become the First Pavilion on this street, specializing in zithers!" Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"Specializing in zithers? Haha, you want to swallow my Silver Moon Villa? "Yun Mo looked at Gu Hai coldly.
"No, your Silver Moon Villa will always be your Silver Moon Villa. I will not interfere. Don't worry. If there comes a day when you feel that the cooperation with me, Gu Hai, is not good, you can lead Silver Moon Villa away at any time! I will not stop you! "Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"Oh?" Yun Mo frowned and looked at Gu Hai.
"I only need to provide you with zithers. During the cooperation period, your Silver Moon Villa will only provide my zithers. Your reputation is not important. I will find a way to slowly build momentum for you to return it! Everything will be fine! I need Silver Moon Villa to help me. I will try my best to fulfill your wish! "Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"My wish?" Yun Mo frowned and looked at Gu Hai.
"Yes, don't you want to make a zither for the Old Village Master? The Old Village Master may reincarnate, but you don't know who will be his reincarnation. But he may enter the First Zither Building on this street. Maybe he will see the zithers from Silver Moon Villa in the special section of the Zither Building. Maybe he will inadvertently buy a zither made by you? "Gu Hai persuaded.
Yun Mo's eyes suddenly turned red. As they looked at Gu Hai, they no longer showed that much hostility.
"Do you see the vitality of my Zither Building? I, Gu Hai, started out as a businessman. Please believe that I can open the biggest Zither Building in the world. I can let the chain stores spread to every corner of the world! "Gu Hai said Solemnly.
Yun Mo suddenly calmed down and said, "You only have one Zither Building, but you have painted a big picture for me?"
"Yes, but we at least have a goal, don't we? Now that you are making zithers, you have not reached the peak. You need to grow, and so does my Zither Building, right? In the future, all the First Zither Buildings on this street will set up a special section for you! A special section for Silver Moon Villa. What do you think, Young Master? "Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"Haha, haha, Gu Hai, do you really think you can open such a huge chain store?" Yun Mo looked at Gu Hai with uncertainty in his eyes.
"In the beginning, when no one believed that my Zither Building would become popular, the Old Village Master believed in me, didn't he?" Gu Hai said Solemnly.
Yun Mo's face stiffened. Indeed, in the beginning, very few people thought highly of Gu Hai, but the Old Village Master asked him to personally send a qualification card to Gu Hai as an encouragement.
"Young Master, how about we set a limit of 50 years? Let's make a contract. My Zither Building will do its best to promote your zithers, and you will do your best to make zithers for my Zither Building. The Zither Building and Silver Moon Villa will take half of the sales. The Zither Building will take half of the sales. 50 years will pass in the blink of an eye. After 50 years, if you don't like my Zither Building, we can terminate the contract at any time. What do you think? "Gu Hai said Solemnly.
Yun Mo was silent.
Previously, the disciples of the villa were arguing because the outside world despised Silver Moon Villa. Many zither merchants didn't even want Silver Moon Villa's zithers anymore. Only Gu Hai valued it so much.
Now, Silver Moon Villa was even more unstable internally. It was in a state of disunity.
"50 years? Okay, I hope that Mr. Goode won't disappoint me! "Yun Mo said with certainty.
Gu Hai smiled and nodded. "Village Master Yun, don't worry. I, Gu Hai, am a man of my word! But …! "
"But what?" Yun Mo frowned.
"But, I hope that Village Master Yun will strive for perfection in the future. I hope that every zither you make will be better than the previous one!" Gu Hai said Solemnly.
"How is that possible? Do you know how to make zithers? Who can guarantee this? "Yun Mo frowned.
"Village Master Yun, we will do our best to promote your zithers. So, the zithers you make will be known to the greatest extent to everyone. Every zither you make may be seen by the reincarnation of the Old Village Master. No, even if one zither is seen by the reincarnation of the Old Village Master, it will be enough. Maybe one of your zithers will be bought by the Old Village Master. I hope that you will do your best to make a zither for the Old Village Master! "Gu Hai said Solemnly.
Yun Mo's expression turned serious. He clenched his fists and nodded. "I will. From now on, every zither I make will be the result of my heart and soul!"
"Then, it's settled!" Gu Hai cupped his fists and bowed.
"You … Didn't you say to sign a 50-year contract?" Yun Mo was slightly stunned.
Gu Hai shook his head and smiled. "No need. Village Master Yun has already promised me. Why do I need to sign a paper contract? It's settled! "
"You … You're not afraid that I will go back on my word?" Yun Mo frowned.
"I believe in my judgment. If it was the Old Village Master, would he go back on his word?" Gu Hai smiled.
"Of course not, but I …!"
"Even if the person taught by the Old Village Master is bad, it won't be too bad. I believe in the Old Village Master's reputation, I believe in the Silver Moon Villa's reputation, and I believe in Village Master Yun's reputation. Everything is enough!" Gu Hai said Solemnly.
Yun Mo looked at Gu Hai, stood up, and bowed to Gu Hai again.
