Chapter 2157: Cede Territory for Peace

In Harbin, the wind and snow are flying.

As the night fell and the lights began to turn on, an inconspicuous Audi car slowly drove into a remote manor on the outskirts of Harbin.

The manor doesn't look very special, but it occupies a very large area, comparable to a municipal park, with mountains, water, and large forests.

There are eighteen buildings inside the manor, and each one is heavily guarded. There are many gunmen with live ammunition in the trees, upstairs, and sentry towers.

This is the headquarters of the Thirteen Leagues, the Zhao family's palace.

The Audi passed through three checkpoints, each of which required careful inspection. Only after it was confirmed that there was no danger, was it allowed to drive into the Zhao family's palace.

After driving into the manor, the Audi drove at a slower speed. After passing through a large number of splendid buildings, it slowly stopped in front of a row of Russian-style houses.

The car door opened, and a tall young woman wrapped in a black coat came out.

She took off her plain glasses and looked at the nearby guards, and then looked at a small building in the east corner of the manor, her beautiful eyes filled with passion.

Although the small building looked old, it was inhabited by people who would be loyal to her all her life.

"Miss Chen!"

The woman in black tightly put her coat on, and then walked towards the small building. Her leather boots were squeaking and her aura was strong. She looked like a proud and noble queen.

She walked straight past the respectful guards with her head held high, her pride and aloofness making them dare not look away.

Several bodyguards carefully followed her inside, but soon stopped in front of the courtyard on the first floor.

"Miss Chen!"

Seeing the woman in black appear, ten old men in gray in the inner courtyard bent down to greet her. They all obviously knew her status in the Thirteen Leagues.

The woman in black rarely nodded, but her extremely beautiful face was as cold as ice. When men saw her like this, they would probably be lustful but not bold.

When she was about to step in, a man in a Chinese tunic suit came out and spoke respectfully:

"Concubine Xiu, please wait a moment, the alliance leader is on the phone."

The middle-aged man looks to be in his forties, but he looks very mature and steady, and his hair is meticulously combed, giving him an energetic look.

"good!"

The woman known as Chen Xiufei was slightly startled, then she stopped and waited quietly in the hall of the courtyard.

She knew very well that even though she was highly regarded by Zhao Wuji and was a member of the Thirteen Allied Forces, there were some things that could not be exceeded.

The middle-aged man asked with a smile: "Concubine Xiu, have you eaten? If not, I will ask someone to prepare an extra portion, and you will eat with the leader."

Chen Xiu Fei thought for a while and shook her head, then said in a calm tone: "Thank you, Uncle Shentu, I have already eaten."

In fact, she hadn't eaten yet. After receiving the news of the five heavenly kings' violent deaths, she also received Zhao Wuji's order to summon her, so she came to the headquarters immediately.

But she really wasn't in the mood to eat at the moment.

The middle-aged man nodded slightly: "Understood."

While waiting, Concubine Chen Xiu asked hesitantly: "Uncle Shentu, the alliance leader should know the news, right? How is he feeling now?"

"He knew about it immediately and watched the video. He was very sad and painful. After all, it was the talent he spent tens of billions of dollars on the Internet to acquire."

Shentu sighed softly: "And the alliance leader has long regarded Li Shang and the others as his own children. In the past, when Mu Xiu and the others died violently, the alliance leader was extremely sad."

"Five people died this time, and the boat capsized in the ditch. How could the leader not be sad?"

There was also a hint of confusion in his eyes: "All the eight heavenly kings have died, and the strength of the Thirteen Alliance has dropped by two levels. It's uncomfortable to think about it."

Concubine Chen Xiu sighed: "We underestimated Longmen, Shangguan Xiaozhi, and Ye Tianlong."

There was a faint light in Shen Tu's eyes: "It's a pity that life is like a chess game, you have no regrets when you make a move."

"Ding--"

At this moment, the earphones in Shentu's ears twitched, and then he dispersed the melancholy and invited Chen Xiufei in: "Concubine Xiu, come in."

At the same time, he lightly clapped his hands and asked someone to bring Zhao Wuji's dinner. He carefully tasted part of it to make sure it was free of toxins before bringing it in personally.

This devotion to duty made Chen Xiu Fei feel respected.

After Chen Xiu Fei walked through a deep corridor, she stepped into a two hundred square meter hall.

There was no heating or stove in the hall. Instead, the evening breeze flowed in through the window openings on both sides, filling the hall with a chill.

Chen Xiufei subconsciously tightened her clothes, but quickly stopped this action.

"Concubine Xiu, are you here?"

A deep voice came from the window, and then a middle-aged man turned around: "Are you feeling cold? If you feel cold, turn on the heater."

"I turned off the heat, put out the stove, opened the windows, just to clear my head."

He slowly walked towards Chen Xiu Fei from the darkness: "I don't know if it's because there are too many things going on recently, or because my brain is old and things are being handled in a mess."

"Today I lost five lives, so I opened the window and chilled out in the attic. Without the warmth of boiling frogs in warm water, I felt much more awake."

He turned on the heater himself, and then motioned Chen Xiufei to sit down: "I really regret not opening the window earlier to see the world."

Shentu also brought dinner at this time, an iron plate tray with three kilograms of mutton, two kilograms of beef, and a large stack of pancakes.

The food is hot, fragrant and dripping with oil, making people very appetizing.

"Leader, I'm not cold, I can bear it."

When Zhao Wuji sat down and picked up the knife and fork to start eating, Chen Xiufei also picked up the wine bottle and poured him vodka: "You should take good care of yourself."

"Although opening the window can make you clear your mind, you must pay attention to keeping warm. What if you catch a cold? That would be more trouble than gain."

"Compared to the killing of Li Shang and the others, the leader's health is more important."

She opened her red lips slightly: "When you are here, the Thirteen Alliances are here. If you are not here, the Thirteen Alliances will collapse..."

"You said, if I were more cautious, or not so eager for quick success, thinking of solving Ye Tianlong once and for all..."

Zhao Wuji put a piece of beef into his mouth, with a lonely look on his face: "Will Li Shang and the others not die?"

Chen Xiufei shook her head: "Leader, don't blame yourself. Li Shang and the others were killed. This is something no one could have predicted."

"Your strategy is absolutely correct."

"The five kings will work together to kill Ye Tianlong to avenge Mu Xiu, and then kill Hei Hu and other backbones of Longmen, so that Medicine City is back in our hands. "

Chen Xiufei sat up straight: "Your deployment can stand scrutiny, and it is also the best way to solve the problem."

Zhao Wuji's eyes dimmed for a moment: "The best way... but why did we fail in the end?"

Chen Xiufei bit her lip to comfort: "It's just an accident."

"The five kings joined forces, and they can almost walk sideways in the whole of China. Killing an eighth-rank Ye Tianlong is definitely more than enough."

"But we didn't expect that Ye Tianlong had already broken through the ninth rank, pretending to be a grandson without showing it, and took the initiative to kill Mie Yang who underestimated the enemy."

She sighed faintly: "It's not that Li Shang and the others are too incompetent, but that Ye Tianlong is too cunning."

Although these words are said to boost others' ambitions, Chen Xiufei doesn't think it's a shame. At this age, Ye Tianlong is already a ninth-rank, and he is indeed too evil.

This is as amazing as a small African country with a population of several million suddenly taking out an atomic bomb.

Zhao Wuji didn't say anything else, just nodded, and put another piece of beef into his mouth.

Chen Xiufei showed her due rationality: "Boss, it doesn't make much sense for us to mourn the death of Li Shang and others now."

"The eight kings are dead, the combat effectiveness of the Thirteen Alliance has plummeted, and the morale of Longmen has soared, plus Ye Tianlong, a ninth-grade master, is in charge."

"The situation of the Thirteen Alliance is very critical now. We must prepare countermeasures, otherwise it is easy to be defeated."

Without Li Shang's five major bargaining chips, the Thirteen Alliance has lost half of its confidence.

"I know this."

Zhao Wuji regained his composure: "This is also the reason why I asked you to come back to the headquarters."

Chen Xiufei's eyes lit up: "Leader, do you have a good plan?"

"Crack——"

Zhao Wuji picked up the meat-cutting knife, stood up and walked to the wall map, and then slashed it fiercely on the north side.

The map broke and the wall dust splashed.

"Three days later, you go to Ye Tianlong."

Zhao Wuji's voice was threatening: "Cede land, pay compensation, and seek peace!"
