Chapter 205 Guanshui Villa, Misty Rain Tower! [Subscribe]

In the afternoon

After changing their appearance, Wei Hong and Luan Xiaoqi, together with a middle-aged manager of a pawnbroker, a coachman, and a servant, rode in a carriage to Guanshui Villa, 30 miles north of the city.

The villa is built in the deep mountains, and there is a mile-long winding mountain road away from the official road. There are dense forests and deep mountains on both sides, which is very secluded and quiet.

The villa covers an area of ​​about seven or eight acres.

Built on the mountain, with green tiles and red walls!

There is a huge bluestone square at the entrance, with two Taoji stone statues at the entrance. The gate is wide and imposing. At a glance, the houses are stacked and the attics are lined up, which looks very luxurious!

"Two guests, please take a look!" The middle-aged steward got off the carriage and hurriedly introduced: "This manor is surrounded by mountains and rivers. You can see the surging river at a glance, and you can hear the sound of rain in the surrounding bamboo forest with your eyes closed. It is really an excellent place for enjoyment."

"It cost 470,000 taels of silver, and hired well-known craftsmen from Jiangnan to come and personally take charge. It took three and a half years to build it. Every brick and tile is made of money!"

"In addition, there is a gurgling mountain spring water flowing into the backyard of the villa, and there is also a hot spring for people to enjoy. Soaking all year round can both drive away the cold and keep healthy!"

The middle-aged steward used his eloquence to describe this place in a wonderful way.

I walked into the villa and found that it was really good. Although no one had lived there for some days, it was still clean all around, which showed that someone swept and cleaned it on weekdays.

There are a lot of houses built around the villa!

Long corridors run through the surroundings, with a martial arts training ground, rockery in the garden, and wine cups flowing by the water. It can be said that every step is a scene, and it has the charm of a Jiangnan garden!

"How many people can live here?" Wei Hong asked.

"Three to five hundred people are not a problem." The middle-aged steward said with a smile: "The rich families travel with great pomp. A young lady usually has sixty or seventy people to serve her. If the house is not enough, wouldn't the manor be built in vain?"

"That's right!" Wei Hong nodded without saying much.

Since it can accommodate hundreds of people, it is really suitable for training dead men.

Arrange a few secret sentries around the villa and on the nearby hills, so that everything around can be seen at a glance, and even a fly can't fly in easily.

There are no villages or farmers around here!

No matter how you toss, it won't alarm others.

Although it is not very convenient to buy ingredients, as long as you are careful, the secrets here will not be exposed.

"Manager Ye!" Wei Hong made the final decision: "I want this, 300,000 taels, how about it?"

"300,000 taels? Impossible, absolutely impossible!" The middle-aged manager shook his head desperately in dissatisfaction: "Guest, you know that a slightly better house in Shendu costs tens of thousands of taels, and a large mansion costs more than 100,000 or 80,000 taels. The inner city is even more expensive!"

"This place is not far from Shendu and has picturesque scenery. The cost is as high as 470,000 taels. How can it be sold for 300,000 taels? You are really..."

Wei Hong smiled and raised his hand to stop him.

"Manager Ye is also a shrewd person. He should know that too much is as bad as too little." Wei Hong said casually: "How many wealthy families have been killed since the new emperor ascended the throne? Countless shops, hills, manors, and farms have flowed into the market like water. Do you think they can still be sold at the previous price?"

"No matter how close this place is to the capital of the gods, it is still 30 miles away. Even if you buy a broken mountain, it won't cost much. There are neither medicinal fields nor minerals, nor good farmland!"

"Other manors are bought and some tenants are hired to farm, and there are huge profits every year. You bought this manor and can only take a hot spring bath. Do you really think I am a fool?"

The middle-aged manager's mouth twitched awkwardly.

He also knew what the current market was like, so he naturally couldn't refute it.

There are always very few people in the world who indulge in sensual pleasures. After the new emperor ascended the throne, all the powerful families tried their best to keep a low profile. How could they dare to be extravagant as before?

Therefore, this manor has not been sold for several months!

Why wouldn't someone buy a manor with thousands of acres of fertile land and a stable monthly income for the same price?

"300,000 taels is still too little." The middle-aged manager said with a wry smile: "Would you like to add a little?"

"Add five thousand taels!" Wei Hong smiled and lowered his voice: "But these five thousand taels belong to you, do you understand?"

"I understand!" The middle-aged manager's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said with surprise: "Don't worry, guest, within three days, this manor will definitely belong to you!"

"Okay!"

Wei Hong smiled with satisfaction!

Spending 300,000 taels to take this place is still worth it for him.

After all, it's just his total income for two months. It's a good deal to buy such a large manor plus the surrounding mountains and forests.

"How is it? It's nice here!" Luan Xiaoqi asked like he was asking for credit.

Wei Hong nodded, raised his hand to dismiss the middle-aged manager and others, and then said: "If you are allowed to stay here for a long time with your people, will you get used to it?"

"What's wrong with that?" Luan Xiaoqi rubbed his hands and said: "With the help of Xiao Wu and the other eight people, I can't train a group of young people whose hair hasn't grown yet, so how can I have the face to hang out with you?"

"Hehe!" Wei Hong laughed dumbly, patted his shoulder and said: "In this case, you can set off tomorrow!"

"Set off?"

Luan Xiaoqi was a little stunned.

Wei Hong nodded and said: "You have now broken through to the Blood Refining Realm, and the others have also reached the peak of the Skin Refining Realm. You may break through at any time. With this strength, you can still ensure safety when you go out as long as you don't cause trouble."

"Now that the venue has been found, there is no need to wait any longer. I will give you two months to rent an inconspicuous boat and go to Xuzhou and other places, and pick some boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 16 to bring back. Just under two hundred!”

"Remember, you must have no father or mother, be of good character, and have sound hands and feet. Don't bring back any cats or dogs. We are not running a charity!"

Luan Xiaoqi nodded silently.

He knew how much weight Wei Hong's words contained.

People in the chaotic land outside the state have no means of living, and it is common for them to sell their sons and daughters for food. If he doesn't make a good plan and show his kindness, he may bring back a bunch of children with missing limbs and limbs who are waiting for feeding.

"Don't worry, I know!" Luan Xiaoqi said bitterly: "There are too many poor people in this world. Even if we have the intention, we can't help too many people. We can only become stronger ourselves first."

"Um!"

Wei Hong nodded happily.

Being able to say these few words proves that Xiao Qi still has a brain.

"Remember!" Wei Hong reminded again: "You gave yourself the face you need to walk around the world. You all disguise yourself as middle-aged men with vicious faces. You must be serious and don't be embarrassed by acting like a young man every day."

"Understood!" Luan Xiaoqi chuckled: "But since we are recruiting people from outside, we should have a name. What should we call them?"

"Let's call it Yanyu Tower!"

Wei Hong spoke leisurely!
