Chapter 117 Pressure(1/2)
Author: Huang Huoqing
The 23rd day of the first lunar month, at noon.
Warm sun hangs high.
Although the breeze touches the skin, it is much warmer in the bones.
There are more than a dozen plates of meat and vegetable dishes in the Heiyuan Pavilion, which are steaming hot and fragrant.
Several of the dishes of vegetables were fried by Aunt Liu, while the rest were delivered by the family’s kitchen.
Five people sat at the table - in addition to Hong Fan, there were two eldest sons, Hong She, Hong Lie, Cui and Gao.
"The purpose of the three families in Jinfeng Tower has spread throughout the city."
Cui Yutang said, holding a piece of pig's ear and chewing it rustled.
"The day before yesterday they visited the city guard and the military academy, and the three families acted together."
"I heard from my second uncle that many young surnames in the small clan are worried."
He swallowed the pig's ears, with a slightly worried expression.
“This is inevitable.”
Gao Junxia nodded.
"The Tongguanggong family is a big family in the western world of Liangzhou. His family alone has two high-level innate ones, which are stronger than our Jinhai City."
In the second generation circle of Jinhai, Hong Fan and Li Chi-zheng's relationship was just as good as the three families. On the contrary, Gao Junxia and Cui Yutang were convinced by him and bowed their heads, as if they were tied to a chariot.
As Hong Fan's position in the clan increased, the relationship between the two families became increasingly close.
"The Yuquan Quan family's Futu Jin is also a great name, and has produced powerful generals from generation to generation..."
Gao Junxia continued.
"To be honest, we can compare with the three surnames of Jinhai, which is indeed a little inferior."
He has been with Hong Fan for a long time and knows the latter's personality, so he speaks out.
"The Lu family is relatively weak, but at least it is also innately leading and powerful."
"Now they look like they are stubborn and unyielding. If they don't talk about others, the elders in our sect are a little shaken."
The "in the door" he refers to the vortex gate.
The leader Ge Tianlang Tianren has a sympathetic cultivation level, and there are 13 disciples in the Light Encyclopedia Realm.
"You don't have to worry too much."
Hong Fan drank a glass of himself and said with a smile.
"The three families come for money. No matter how hard this matter is, it is just a category of interest disputes."
"Now they are gongs and drums, and they are sending a joint letter to the city guard office, and asking Gongsun Wujian to arbitrate. It's just a way to use extreme pressure."
"You just think that the three families want a total of 30,000 taels. If you invest too much capital, wouldn't it be useless to work on a waste of time?"
After hearing his comfort, the few people immediately felt much more at ease after a brief analysis.
"By the way, I heard that something happened to Jinfenglou yesterday?"
Hong Fan persuaded him to drink for a round of wine and asked again.
"It was the Li family who stirred up the first one."
Gao Junxia replied.
"Li Maocai, the boss of the third house of the Li family, was having fun in my house. During this period, he talked about asking for money. He was not very respectful. He was heard by several people from the Quan Lu family and started to make a fuss."
"There are young people on both sides, and they are also carrying martial arts. When they get angry, they go to the yard to take action. As a result, Li Maocai's face was swollen!"
"But I heard that Hong Ping also went there later?"
Hong Fan frowned and asked.
"How did the Li family get involved in him?"
This time, Hong She said this time.
"Li Maocai, the second son of the Chi family and that boy Hong Ping have always been holding hands, fighting with eagles and lackeys, and they are very strong."
He sighed.
"And Hong Ping arrived at Guantong Realm before the New Year, and then joined Zhu Yiqi after the New Year."
"The eldest lady was unwilling to do so and wanted him to go to the prefecture to follow my father (Hong Pan), and she happened to be taken care of by her mother's family."
"But that boy kept saying that both brothers were in Zhu Yiqi, and he had cut down sand bandits in Taishan, and he decided not to be a 'deserter'."
"In the end, he came to the second team and was under my command."
When Hong She said this, he reached out and pressed his eyebrows.
According to Zhu Yiqi's old rules, as the second team, he was obviously the one responsible for leading Hong Ping - just like Hong Lie and Hong Fan at the time.
But how could a domineering boy like Hong Ping be so easy to manage?
"Li Mao was beaten yesterday, so he came to Hong Ping to stand out."
"According to his muscular nature, he naturally took on a big bag."
Hong She sighed.
Hong Lie laughed when he heard this: "Can Hong Ping's serious cultivation level be able to take over?"
"Hong Ping is not stupid enough to go by himself."
Hong She Interface.
"He must not have the courage to instigate Brother Sheng and Brother Fan, so he wanted to pull me up first."
"This matter has no intention of the clan, and I am not stupid, so of course I refuse."
"I just didn't expect that he went to Xu Ting and the others later..."
Hong She didn't continue talking about it.
But Hong Fan knew what he meant.
Hong Ping is the youngest son and the younger brother of Hong Sheng and Hong Fan.
Although Xu Ting and his friends have far better cultivation, they are only from good families in other families, so it is normal that they cannot resist the pressure.
"Anyway, it was Hong Ping who won in the end."
Gao Junxia added.
"The three boys of the Quan family and the Lu family were beaten, and Ling brother suffered only a little injury."
But several people could see that Hong Fan's concerns had not dissipated.
"Are you worried about the families coming to this matter?"
Hong Lie asked.
"I'm not worried about this."
Hong Fan shook his head and said.
"These Raptors crossing the river are coming in full force. Is there any incident in Hong Ping? Sooner or later, they will face us."
"I just think Li Maocai's incident is a bit too coincidental."
He picked up a pistachio shell on the table and crushed it into pieces.
"Everyone knows that Mr. He, the Li family, is extremely strict in his family and is no longer lazy than our patriarchs."
Hearing this, the people at the table stood up and looked solemn.
"These two days are the sensitive times. Where did Li Maocai come from? Xiongxin and leopard courage to go to Jinfeng Tower to cause trouble?"
Hong Fan looked at Gao Junxia, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I'm talking about it. Just talking about the wine and food, Haige is still half a piece of cake than yours, right?"
The tall young man raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth to refute, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Cui Yutang, Hong She and Hong Lie, all nodding.
So he had to raise his glass to drink and swallow his words back into his stomach.
After talking about the current affairs in the city, the topic on the table turned to the latest four lists.
"This time, the genius from Liangzhou has changed one."
Everyone spoke with great enthusiasm.
"'Flipping the River Dragon' Ao Zhiji, a native of Xijing, is the "Water Relief" that he practiced."
"I am three years older than Brother Fan. If I feel sympathy today, I will be on the list and rank 97th on the genius list."
"Speaking of this, the eldest son is also at this age, and his cultivation is only a short distance away."
"I can't say that my Hong family will have the glorious scenery of 'one family and two geniuses' in three years..."
