" Congratulations, host. Deep sleep for one day and one night, a total of 24 hours. True Qi level increased by 48, Vitality attribute increased by 48 points.
[Current True Qi Level: 10097]”
When Du Gujue woke up, the system notification rang in his mind.
Du Gujue couldn't help but laugh,"
"I actually slept for so long. The alcohol effect of this Blue Sea Tide is really not small.”
He had been sleeping since dawn yesterday and slept all the way until dawn the next day.
Fortunately, at dawn yesterday, Du Gujue's 10,000 saber lights hung on the roof of the Vast Ocean Tower. They were floating and flickering, reaching 40,000 times.
He continued to practice his saber for a day!
"Master, the Hou family's land, shops, trading companies, and other businesses have all been taken over by the Vast Sea Pavilion.
A conservative estimate would be that he would be able to provide five hundred thousand taels of silver to His Lord every year.”
When Du Gujue finished washing up and walked out of his room, the manager of Yangzhou's Blue Sea Restaurant reported to him with an account book in his hand.
Yangzhou's Vast Sea Restaurant was a branch of the Vast Sea Winery under Dugu Jue's name.
The person in charge of this place was an old servant of the Dugu Family in Wushuang City. He was also a loyal servant who was deeply trusted by Dugu Jue.
Therefore, Du Gujue only briefly glanced at the account book. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded, indicating that he understood.
As the saying went, before the troops moved, the grain and fodder moved first.
The Vast Sea Winery and the Vast Sea Taverns under Du Gujue's name were the provisions for his army.
After all, a force like the Profound Slaying Hall also needed a large amount of money to operate and support its subordinates.
Not only Du Gujue, but even the imperial court and the powerful families of the Great Sui Dynasty had to first control taxes and financial resources to support their forces.
Therefore, the essence of power was wealth.
Whoever had wealth could use it to make others work for him, and thus gain the power to control others!
Now that the Hou Clan had been exterminated and the Hou Clan's businesses were under the management of Yangzhou's Blue Sea Pavilion, Du Gujue would have a stable source of wealth every year.
He could use this to do more things!
At this moment, in the Yangzhou General Manager's Estate, an armored figure appeared in front of Yangzhou General Manager Yuchi Sheng."
"Chief, a letter from the Eastern Capital.
The Imperial Army's General Manager Yuwen Huaji was already on the five-toothed warship heading south from the Eastern Capital!”
As the messenger spoke, he also handed a secret letter with a fire mud seal to Yuchi Sheng.
Yuchi Sheng took the secret letter and confirmed that the fire mud seal with Yuwen Huaji's seal had not been opened before he waved his hand and said,"
"You may leave."
After the messenger left, Yuchi Sheng carefully opened the secret letter. What greeted his eyes was Yuwen Huaji's handwriting:
"Yuchi Sheng, I've already set off from the Eastern Capital and will arrive in Yangzhou in a few days.
You must keep an eye on Du Gujue and don't let him leave Yangzhou. If necessary, you must use the army to keep him here!
The key to our success lies in Du Gujue and the Art of Longevity!”
After reading Yuwen Huaji's letter, Yuchi Sheng's gaze flickered slightly.
Then, he placed Yuwen Huaji's secret letter into the incense burner in front of the desk.
A wisp of green smoke rose up, and a secret between Yuwen Huaji and Yuchi Sheng disappeared.
"Men!
He had to set up spies inside and outside the Blue Sea Pavilion and Yangzhou City to monitor Du Gujue's every move. He must not let him leave Yangzhou City!”
Yuchi Sheng turned around and ordered a trusted general in the manor.
After watching the general's back leave, a sinister smile appeared on Yuchi Sheng's face,"
"Du Gujue, your death is coming!”
Du Gujue stood by the railing in the Blue Sea Pavilion, looking down at the outside of Yangzhou City. He was admiring the prosperity of this big city in River East, and a meaningful smile was on his face.
"The messenger from Luoyang, the eastern capital, seems to be Yang Guang or Yuwen Huaji's men.”
Du Gujue picked up a bowl of wine and took a sip. Then, he muttered to himself with a faint smile.
With the location of the Blue Sea Restaurant, one could have a panoramic view of the entire Yangzhou.
This included the mansion of Yangzhou's manager, Yuchi Sheng, and even the dock outside Yangzhou.
"Zi Shu, Chou Niu, Yin Hu!"
Du Gujue put down the bowl of exquisite flower sculptures in his hand and looked ahead.
"Your subordinate is here!"
Rat, Bull, and Tiger among the Mysterious Executioner Emissaries responded and flashed out from the darkness.
"Since Yuchi Sheng dared to send people to monitor me, it means that the people sent by Yang Guang shouldn't be far.
" This person is very likely to be the Imperial Army's General Manager, Yuwen Huaji. You guys keep a close eye on the riverside dock. If Yuwen Huaji arrives in Yangzhou, report to me immediately."”
Then, Du Gujue waved his hand and the three Xuan Executioner envoys left.
Du Gujue smiled faintly as he continued to look down at Yangzhou City. He looked at the merchant ships and the bustling crowds in the city. He felt that all the smoke and fire in the world of mortals were so beautiful and lovely.
His mood was not affected at all.
Since he had taken the Art of Longevity from the stone dragon with great fanfare, he had already thought of all possibilities.
A gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty of holding a treasure.
Not only would Yang Guang, the Sui Emperor who had been searching for the Art of Longevity for many years, make a move, but the righteous and evil sects in the pugilistic world would also be tempted by the Art of Longevity.
Therefore, Du Gujue would become the target of public criticism.
This was also the reason why Shi Long only dared to hide and secretly study the Art of Longevity for so many years and did not dare to announce this matter to the public.
But Dugu Jue was different.
He did it on purpose.
If the Art of Longevity was in his hands, it would attract the fear of many people and bring danger to himself.
Crisis, crisis, there was danger but also opportunity.
Someone would attack Du Gujue because of the Art of Longevity, and Du Gujue would have a whetstone.
Dugujue's saber technique and saber intent could be further honed by sparring with different experts.
This was Du Gujue's goal.
From that day onwards, Yangzhou City became exceptionally lively.
Many new faces had entered the city.
It had only been three days since Du Gujue had obtained the Art of Longevity.
Those were the people in the martial world who had smelled the news of the Art of Longevity.
At the south gate of Yangzhou, a beautiful girl in white stepped into the south gate of Yangzhou.
The girl was beautiful, but her feet were bare and she wasn't wearing any shoes or socks.
However, as she walked, her feet and soles were not stained with the slightest bit of soil. They were still as fair and delicate as ever.
The fact that her bare feet were not stained with dust meant that the girl's movement technique had reached an extremely terrifying realm.
The legendary fairy's Water-like Subtle Steps and Silk Stockings were nothing more than this.
Ordinary people only felt that this girl was too strange, but some of the more knowledgeable people in the martial world did not have the time to appreciate the beauty of this girl. They just hid far away.
Because they knew this girl.
The Witch Wan Wan of the Yin Sunflower Sect, one of the great sects of the fiend sects!
