"There hasn't been any war in recent years, so the Jun Family's income has decreased a lot. At present, the fief has an annual income of nearly two million taels of silver, as for the rest, that's all. " Jun Wuyi wasn't disobedient, he understood the meaning behind Jun Moxie's question, and although he felt quite helpless, but he had to say it.
"Only this? That's too little! " Jun Moxie bluntly said: "Only a trifling two million taels of silver, I'm afraid it's not even enough to support an ordinary big family, such a meager income is simply not enough to support a big family like the Jun Family." An annual income of two million taels of silver may seem like a lot, for an ordinary family, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's an astronomical figure, but compared to a big family like the Jun Family, it's really too little. Although there aren't many direct descendants of the Jun Family, but in this big courtyard, there are more than a thousand of them! The expenses of food, clothing, and the salaries of these people, is definitely a very shocking figure.
"Leave the financial aspect to me for the time being, I may have a way to help the family improve." Jun Moxie paced a couple of steps, his heart secretly calculating for a moment, thinking that his wine was going to be auctioned soon, when the time comes, it shouldn't be a problem to supplement the family's living expenses, there really is no other way, I'll just have to be black-hearted for once, a cup of ten thousand taels of gold is too expensive, then I'll just have to make it more expensive, in any case, it's up to you whether you want to buy it or not, it's better for you to die than for me, everyone understands this truth!
After thinking for a moment, Jun Dashao said: "As for the remaining twenty-four people, Third Uncle can carefully observe them during this time of recovery, and see what they are interested in, maybe it'll be useful in the future. Although we've already decided to support them, but we can't just support them for a lifetime, if they have the ability to do something in the future, but don't do it, then what's the point of supporting them? "
"People, always have their own value! It has no value at all. It's just a breathing corpse. It's better to abandon it! "
Jun Wuyi nodded solemnly. What Jun Moxie said today gave Jun Wuyi a familiar feeling once again. That was: specious, but actually wrong. There was a reason, but it still went against the natural law and human ethics. But if it was wrong, it was undeniable. Every word was biased, but …
"It's too unconventional." Jun Wuyi shook his head helplessly. His nephew's way of doing things and his thoughts were completely different from the orthodox etiquette and morality, but he was more practical. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
However, the Hitman Jun didn't know that the Third Uncle was also sighing. This Third Uncle was too much of a gentleman. In fact, he wasn't even qualified to be the head of the Jun Family! The Patriarch of a large family did not have to be completely heartless and cold, but there were things that he could do and things that he could not do! Personal sympathy and compassion couldn't be used as a basis for doing things. All behavior should be based on the family's interests!
However, Jun Wuyi hadn't realized this yet. At best, he was still stuck at the level of an iron-blooded warrior!
Jun Moxie went back to his room, but the Third Uncle Jun Wuyi didn't feel sleepy at all. He simply moved his wheelchair out, and placed a small tea table in front of him. He took out a jar of wine, and poured himself a cup of wine. The breeze was blowing, and the night was as cool as water. It was as if he had returned to the past ten years.
Jun Wuyi was upset at first. He thought of these pitiful children, and then thought of Jun Moxie's words. He felt even more annoyed. After a long time, his mood finally calmed down. As the saying goes, 'wine enters the bowels of one's bowels, and makes one feel even more depressed.' He couldn't help but feel sad again.
"Yao Er, if you were by my side, what would you do? Would you help me make a choice? Do you know how much I miss you … "Jun Wuyi muttered in a low voice. He raised his cup of wine, and drank it in one gulp. He didn't say a word. The cool moonlight hung high in the sky, and its faint radiance sprinkled on his body …
The surroundings became quiet. The chirping of insects, the weeping of the wind …
Jun Moxie returned to his courtyard. Two black-clothed men had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Young Master, this is a messenger pigeon from the Ni Chang Pavilion." One of the black-clothed men bowed and said. "Young Master, this is a messenger pigeon from the Ni Chang Pavilion."
The black-clothed man smiled and said, "It wasn't hurt, right?" Jun Moxie took the pigeon and looked at it.
"Young Master has already instructed us to not harm it. If we let go now, this carrier pigeon will still be able to fly far away. I believe it won't take too much time to reach the place it wants to go." The black-clothed man smiled and said confidently.
Jun Moxie nodded and gently untied a small bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg. He then took out a roll of crumpled paper.
"Within a month, the Jun Family's Mo Xie must be killed! The two of us cannot coexist! " There was only a short sentence written on the paper. The handwriting was very sloppy, and it was obvious that the person who wrote this was very excited. It was signed with a small "Yue" character.
"Ha ha, this woman is too narrow-minded. Is there a need to be like this? With such a temperament, it will be difficult for her to achieve great things! "Jun Moxie smiled and shook his head in disdain.
The two black-clothed men's faces twitched at the same time. For any woman, wouldn't it be enough to want to kill someone after encountering such a situation? Especially for a proud and beautiful woman who has Xuan Qi. She doesn't even seem to be a pure woman …
"If we release this pigeon, can we track it?" Jun Moxie waved the paper in his hand.
"We can't track it." The black-clothed man looked embarrassed. "This kind of pigeon is very good at flying long distances and is extremely tenacious. We can only capture or kill it when it first takes off. At other times, our strength is limited and we can't do anything about it."
"Oh, then it's fine." Jun Mo Xie carefully returned the paper to its original state and stuffed it back into the bamboo tube. Then, he carefully examined the paper to make sure that it was folded and tied in the same manner as Lady Yue 'er. Then, he used the Art of Unlocking the Heaven's Fortune to erase any trace of his aura. Then, he said: "Alright, let it fly."
The black-clothed man took the pigeon and turned to leave. Jun Moxie smiled as the night wind gently brushed his cheeks. "Put down the rat trap and wait for the big mouse. Spread the net, who can escape? Ha ha … "
This night was destined to be an unusual one for the Tian Xiang City.
In the silent night, there would be people flying up from time to time with different Profound Qi radiances of gold, silver, white, and yellow, flashing and disappearing, as lively as fireworks.
Countless pairs of eyes were vigilantly watching the dark Imperial City. Everyone's ears were listening for even the slightest movement in the wind.
Occasionally, two groups of people would bump into each other. A single word of disagreement would lead to a bloody battle to the death. Then, they would retreat, leaving behind bloodstains, broken limbs, and corpses.
The secret forces of the Li family, the Meng family, the Song family, and the Murong family had all mobilized a considerable part of their forces to monitor something at all times. Even if it was a hooligan in the streets, if he accidentally said something sensitive, he would instantly be invited to a tea party.
The Peak Level Nine Xuan Dan had undoubtedly stirred the hearts of the world's Xuan experts.
Only the Dugu and Jun Families remained motionless. Another strange thing was that the Xuan Dan had been stolen from the Tang family. But, the Tang family had been the most patient of all the families. Not only had they not sent people to investigate, but the Tang family's members had also been recalled. Moreover, they had issued strict orders that no one was allowed to go out at will.
In the darkness of the night, eight black shadows flew over. They faced the tall city walls as if they were walking on flat ground. They entered the city without a sound. Then, they stealthily entered the Li Family's residence …
In the north of the Tian Xiang City, the sound of wheels rolling could be heard.
A group of people was quietly advancing towards the Tian Xiang City at full speed. Among this group of people, there were actually quite a few luxurious carriages, and the horses pulling the carriages were incomparably handsome. They were much taller than ordinary horses, and there were actually two sharp horns on their foreheads. Their four legs were faintly covered in scales. Obviously, these weren't ordinary horses. Instead, they were special Xuan Beasts.
Every single carriage in this group of carriages was pulled by four of these Darkbeasts, and their speed was extremely swift. Even the steeds that galloped on the battlefield would probably be unable to keep up with them. But, they were only making light noises.
In the first carriage …
"… Sixth Grandfather, we don't know if the Xuan Dan's matter is true or not. But, we've come from thousands of miles away. Isn't this making a big fuss over a minor issue? Besides, the Tian Xiang City has Sixth Uncle and Uncle Mu … Uncle Mu. Moreover, the Ninth Elder is keeping watch. How could such a formidable force escape their grasp? " The person who spoke didn't sound very old, and his voice carried the sharpness of a teenager. It was obvious that he was filled with impatience.
"Feng Wu, this matter is related to a peak level nine Xuan Dan. So, we have to be careful. You're still inexperienced. So, you don't know about this. A few days ago, the Ninth Elder sent a message saying that a peak Shen Xuan expert had appeared. Then, the news of a level nine Xuan Dan came out. This is enough to prove the authenticity of this matter. But, I'm worried that we won't be able to obtain the Xuan Dan even if we all arrive. After all, it's a peak Shen Xuan expert. So, there's no guarantee that we'll be able to obtain the Xuan Dan. "An old voice sounded.
"Who in the world dares to oppose our Silver Blizzard City? What's more, the Third Elder will be accompanying us this time, along with you, Sixth Grandpa. Even if it's a peak Spirit Xuan expert, there's still the Ninth Elder who has already made arrangements there. Moreover, there's also the geographical advantage. I believe that we'll be able to obtain the Xuan Core. Sixth Grandpa is worrying too much. " The young man's voice was full of lofty arrogance. It seemed as if being born in the Silver Blizzard City was already an extraordinary thing.
"Boy, don't blame me for calling you a frog at the bottom of a well. Do you know how many experts there are in this world? Our Silver Blizzard City may be strong enough to look down on the world, but we can't be careless. " The old man sighed. There was a hint of pride in his voice as he continued, "But, there are very few things in this world that are worthy of the Third Elder and the Ninth Elder's attention. I remember that the last time was ten years ago … Time really makes one grow old, this saying is true. "
