Chapter 1964 Appearance
The entrances of the four halls were all in the main city. Xu Yi's gaze passed through the west street entrance and he saw a shop with a plaque of Hongye Hall. It looked like a market and was brightly lit.
Look again at the gloomy and cold hall of Guanglong Hall, which looks like a haunted house. The gap is as clear as day and night.
Xu Yi entered the hall, and a feeble Qingyi attendant received him. He came up and said, "If you want to buy something, go to Hongye Hall opposite. It's not convenient here."
Xu Yi was so angry that with such subordinates, there was no need to worry about the collapse of Guanglong Hall.
He was too lazy to show off his authority with A, B, B and D, so he immediately showed his token and said, "I am the new master of Guanglong Hall. I will ask the people in charge here to see me."
The attendant in Tsing Yi fell to his knees and begged for mercy again and again, and when he saw it, the river was about to overflow.
Xu Yi walked out of the hall, walked to a private room on the left and sat down.
Soon, a white-faced middle-aged man rushed closer, knelt down on the ground, and announced his family name. His surname was Bai and his given name was Qing. He was one of the chiefs here. Deputy Hall Master Kuang was not here, so he maintained the situation for the time being. He asked Xu Yi if he had any orders. , he can handle it all in one go.
Xu Yi waved his hand, "I don't have any instructions. Arrange a secluded courtyard for me, where I can eat and drink well. I'm tired from running all the way. I need to rest for a few days."
Bai Qing was stunned for a moment, then he answered carefully, and immediately went down to make arrangements. Soon, the innermost courtyard was cleared.
The courtyard is close to Qingbo Lake and is very quiet.
After Xu Yi moved in, there was no movement, and he basically stayed behind closed doors. Even when he came out, he only occasionally wandered around in the hall. He didn't make any moves, and he didn't show any enthusiasm for taking office as a new official.
Seven or eight days passed in a flash, and there was still no movement from Xu Yi.
He was at ease here, but some people couldn't sit still.
At noon that day, Zuo Feng, the master of Hongye Hall, held a banquet at the most famous Baihu Tower in the city to entertain Wang Qijue, the master of Guanding Hall, and Lei Qianxiao, the master of Zangyuan Hall.
Hall Master Zuo was naturally generous in his actions. The entire White Tiger Tower had been emptied out a day ago. Not only had it been cleaned and looked brand new, but all kinds of exquisite ingredients had been prepared in advance.
At three quarters of noon, Wang Qijue and Lei Qianxiao arrived at Zangfeng Residence on the top floor of Baihu Tower. After greeting each other, the guests and hosts took their seats. Soon, all kinds of treasures were served like water.
Zuo Feng waved away the waiters on the left and right, and filled the cups for the two of them with a pot. He said with a smile, "Although the two Taoist brothers and I live in the same place, we can count on our fingers the number of times we have been together throughout the year. From now on." We need to strengthen our ties and stay united to achieve long-term success."
"If you are still so distant and distant, and let the thieves seize the opportunity, if you are like Qingxiu and are hung in front of the door, then it will be too late to regret."
Wang Qijue and Lei Qianxiao looked at each other and said with a smile, "What Brother Zuo said is absolutely true. It's just that if we want to be united, our four families should be one. How come Guanglong Hall was left out?"
On weekdays, they were vague rivals and had very little contact with each other. Today, Zuo Feng suddenly held a banquet to invite each other and even said a lot of similar words. How could Wang Qijue not be worried.
Lei Qianxiao smiled and said, "Yes, even though Qing Xiu is dead, I heard that Guanglong Hall has a new head, and it can be considered that there is a leader among them all. How come Brother Zuo missed Guanglong Hall alone?"
Zuo Feng picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, sighed, and said, "I'm inviting you to drink today because I want to have a heart-to-heart chat with my second brother. Why should my second brother refuse me thousands of miles away. "
Wang Qijue and Lei Qianxiao said at the same time, "I would like to hear the details!"
Zuo Feng said, "When things have developed to this point, I think Guanglong Hall can no longer stay in Qingxing City. The death of Qingxiu happened once, and the most important thing is that Deputy Hall Master Kuang is acting like a mad dog. The random arrest of the murderer has aroused resentment everywhere. In addition, the new leader sent by Guanglong Hall this time is also a new leader. In my opinion, it won’t be long before Guanglong Hall will start from Qingxing City. Expelled. Once Guanglongtang falls, if the three of us don't stick together, who knows which tiger will come in again. The purpose of serving wine today is to make this matter clear and thorough."
Wang Qijue said, "Brother Zuo is thinking too far. Xuanqing Sect is not an ordinary small sect. It is a large sect with strong men who have experienced disasters. It should not be underestimated. As for the newly arrived Guang Hall Master Long, how could this person be sent here by the Xuanqing Sect at this juncture? As far as I know, Hall Master Xu has stayed behind closed doors since he took office and has no spirit. , there is only one possibility, this person is secretly holding back his big move. But I don’t know where Brother Zuo got his confidence."
Zuo Feng said, "Of course I know what Brother Wang said. But does Brother Wang know why Kuang is going crazy these days to hunt down the murderer? Isn't he just trying to show off to the gentlemen of the Xuanqing Sect? , let him, Deputy Hall Master Kuang, take off the "advice" on his head. In the past few days, the new Hall Master of Guanglong Hall is afraid that it is not that he does not want to take action, but that he wants to take action. There is no one under his command. The helmsmen of the eight sub-rudders have already We boarded Deputy Hall Master Kuang's ship, and a fight between dragons and tigers is about to begin."
"Guanglongtang is in disarray. Originally, in Qingxing City, Guanglongtang's foundation was not as good as yours and mine. Now their customers have been lost one after another. The upper management still only knows how to fight for power and profit. It seems that if this continues, the last breath will be gone." ”
"So, it's not that we want to drive away Guanglongtang, but that Guanglongtang is badly managed and will destroy itself. Zuo invited you two to come for a drink this time, not to discuss how to target Guanglongtang, but to discuss it. After the demise of Guanglongtang, the division of power in Qingxing City and the issue of coordinated xenophobia."
Lei Qianjue said, "If that's the case, it's indeed worth discussing. We don't harm anyone, but we have absolutely no reason to give up the meat falling from the sky to others, right, Brother Wang."
Every city and place has its own rules. No one wants the situation to get out of control unless absolutely necessary.
Taking Qingxing City as an example, Guanglongtang can fail due to poor management, but it must not fail due to erosion by force.
Because if it is the latter, Xuanqing Sect will definitely fight back vigorously. In the end, Qingxing City will become a pot of porridge, and no one will be able to survive.
Lei Qianjue asked himself that he had no intention of reaching out to Guanglongtang's life and death, but if Guanglongtang was really dead, he would be happy to take the remaining fat of Guanglongtang and devour it in one gulp.
No one will miss this kind of beautiful thing that comes at no cost.
Seeing that Lei Qianxiao had been persuaded, Zuo Feng was overjoyed. He turned to Wang Qijue and said, "I wonder what Brother Wang thinks? You will never let this huge benefit fall into the hands of others, or sit back and watch other forces in Guanglong." After the collapse of the court, let’s invade Qingxing City again.”
Wang Qijue smiled and said, "I have always been interested in making a fortune, but I think the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail. Guanglongtang has not collapsed recently. If it does not, we will not discuss this. use.
