The restaurant on the east side of Zuixiang Building is bustling with activity. The first floor is a dining room, the second floor is ordinary private rooms, and the huge space on the third floor only separates six huge private rooms.
Each box is beautifully decorated, and everything from tables, chairs, benches to cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks are all precious items that are hard to find. The people who can use these six boxes also have noble backgrounds.
At this moment, in one of the private rooms, two men and one woman were sitting around the table, with serious expressions on their faces.
"How is it? Everyone has been settled, right?"
Sitting in the main seat is a middle-aged man. The man has an ordinary appearance, but he has a pair of sharp eyes. He has the cultivation level of Qi Sensing Stage and the aura of a superior. He has an air of calmness and self-power when he speaks casually.
, this man is none other than Captain Lin.
Sitting on the left side of the man was a feminine woman who looked frail, but the vague aura she released showed that the woman's cultivation had reached the late stage of receiving Qi, and she was none other than Vice Captain Yu Xiao.
The woman nodded and said: "Don't worry, none of our people are carefully selected. They will never make any mistakes in this kind of secret transfer. It's just that they left in a hurry, and many people left some belongings behind.
There were no other problems in the original inn."
Captain Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Just throw away the things that were left behind. If necessary, just send someone to buy them together."
Hearing Captain Lin's words, the woman's eyes flickered. She was about to speak but was cut off by the man on Captain Lin's right: "Our people are not troublesome, but now it is those two girls who are difficult to deal with. The warriors at their hands
We can’t stir up any trouble, but if we directly attack, it’s not cost-effective, and secondly, it’s easy to alarm those families.”
The man who spoke was Ren Huo, another vice-captain. As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Yu Xiao and shook his head slightly. Yu Xiao noticed Ren Huo's actions and immediately understood, swallowing the words on the verge of his mouth.
He turned back and nodded gratefully.
As if something was arousing in his mind, Captain Lin couldn't help but sigh and said: "I didn't expect that these two girls would turn into 'useless' existences. Now it's neither possible to move nor to move. I always need to think of a way to get the best of both worlds."
That’s the solution.”
Ren Huo suddenly said: "Captain, what do you think if we hand those two girls over to the big shopkeeper?"
"Click"
He grabbed the wine glass and before he could drink it, after hearing Ren Huo's words, Captain Lin unconsciously squeezed hard and the exquisite crystal wine glass shattered instantly.
His eyes turned cold, and while looking at Ren Huo coldly, Captain Lin said: "You...said...what, give it to the big shopkeeper, did I hear you right?"
Feeling that there was a hint of murderous intent in the breath released by the other party, Ren Huo hurriedly explained: "The captain may have misunderstood, that's what I thought about it. I just met Rouge Guest today, and judging from her attitude, the shopkeeper
It seems impossible to hand over our rights, but what if we offer two girls in exchange?"
Captain Lin obviously did not think of this. After listening to Ren Huo's explanation, he immediately understood that he had misunderstood the other party. His eyes narrowed slightly. After thinking for a moment, Captain Lin held back his head and nodded, smiling and saying in praise:
"Well, this is indeed a good idea.
For now, let's hold the two girls in our hands and wait and see what the big shopkeeper and his friends decide. If they obediently hand over the command to me, then we don't need to hand over the two girls. If they hold on to the end, then these two
In exchange for this girl, I believe he will not refuse."
"Captain has thought it over carefully, so let's wait and see for now." Ren Huo said, having already taken another wine glass and placed it in front of Captain Lin, filling him up with a glass.
The three of them raised their glasses together and drank it together. Captain Lin asked the two of them to use their chopsticks and said, "You see, Zuixianglou is making a lot of money every day, but it is just an ordinary property of the family, and some major cities
Within Hejuncheng, there are countless such industries.
So many resources have been handed over to the Shu family, and our Mu family has to be thrown into the remote and remote Tunmu Village to develop. There is no fucking fairness in this.
Why, our outside family is just a stepmother, so the surname of any of us should not be Lin. I just don’t believe in this evil, so I insist on using Lin as my surname."
Ren Huo and Yu Xiao had just taken a bite of food, and when they heard what Captain Lin said, they lowered their heads with slightly sad eyes. What Captain Lin said was not what Yu Xiao and Ren Huo were thinking.
When the Lin family was broken into pieces and dispersed from the imperial capital, the main lineage of the Shu family inherited most of the family's resources, while the outer lineage of the Wood lineage only received a small part.
These are just the beginning. In the subsequent development, the main martial arts lineage will use resources and industries to continue to develop in the Xuanwu Empire. Although they dare not take any action in the imperial capital, the development in other counties and cities is going smoothly.
But the Mu family has a different experience. Not only do they have to survive in the barren mountains, but also the talented younger members of the family are sent to other families to lurk at a very young age. Of course, this can help you place your own people in other families.
But how can he develop in his own family?
If Captain Lin, Ren Huo and Yu Xiao had grown up in Dunmu Village since childhood, their current strength would probably be at a higher level than what they currently are.
Without using a cup, Captain Lin directly grabbed the wine bottle and took a deep sip. He wiped the wine stains on his lips and said, "Now this broad city is our opportunity. Although there are four major families of the Ghost Painting King and the King of Ghost Painters in the city, we are
With the powerful backing of Qianhuan Sect and the help of the Nether Clan.
As long as we can successfully capture Kuocheng, and then help the Qianhuan Sect and the Nether Clan capture Guanmen City, then the entire southern part of Xuanwu will be our territory, not the Lin family's territory but our Mu family's territory."
Although Ren Huo and Yu Xiao also saw Captain Lin's ambition, they didn't know that Captain Lin's ambition was so great. He not only wanted to compete with the main magic surname, but also wanted to replace him and use wood as his surname.
Mainly with skills as supplement.
"Perhaps you two think that my words are a bit fanciful. As long as we work together, I will give you hope." Captain Lin said as he stood up slowly, holding the wine bottle in his hand, and came to the window.
Gently opening the window, a gust of cool breeze blew in. Captain Lin faced the night breeze and stood by the window, staring at the bustling street outside the restaurant. Between the ups and downs of his heart, he wanted to shout loudly, and let go of the suppressed feelings in his chest over the years.
Let it out.
However, Captain Lin did not make any sound in the end. He just let out a breath of turbid air in his chest and planned to turn around and return to the wine table. But as soon as Captain Lin moved, his body suddenly paused, and then he turned sharply again.
Outside the window.
Sensing Captain Lin's reaction, Ren Huo and Yu Xiao also stood up and left their seats and walked to the window.
"Captain, is there something wrong?" Ren Huo also looked out the window, but found nothing and couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
Captain Lin did not speak, but stared at the opposite side. After a moment, he said: "Just now, there seemed to be a vague shadow flying across my line of sight. I couldn't tell whether it was an animal or... a person!"
Yu Xiao thought for a while and said: "There shouldn't be any flying insects coming out at night this season. If they are monsters or birds, this vast city should have a protective formation!"
Ren Huo and Captain Lin were stunned for a moment, and then they both said, "It's a human being!"
"Try not to cause too much noise. You two will take people to the inn and gambling house respectively. I will go to the brothel to have a look."
Captain Lin had given the order in an instant. They were in a restaurant at the moment. The only ones left were brothels, inns and gambling houses. Because there was only a blurry figure flashing past just now, Captain Lin could not confirm which building the figure disappeared into.
So he sent out both Ren Huo and Yu Xiao at the same time.
"Zheng, Zhengzheng..."
The woman's fingers were beating rapidly between the strings, and the beautiful notes poured out like gurgling water. For a moment, Tang Bin felt as if his whole body had been pulled away. It was as if he had returned to the time when he was wandering around in the world.
Hitting the wall, when I was a young warrior, I often struggled on the edge of life and death.
Subconsciously, she picked up the wine glass next to her. Before Tang Bin could drink it, her palm suddenly froze in the air. The girl felt that Tang Bin's expression had changed. She was still stroking Qin gently in her hand, but her smart eyes were
Give him a questioning look.
But what she got was not Tang Bin's answer, but her whole body seemed to be wrapped in a stream of heat. Although it was a little difficult to breathe, there was also an indescribable warmth. After blinking her eyelids, she hugged Qin deeply.
Fell asleep.
"You guys really know how to care about women. Why, you can hear emotions when listening to the music. Do you want me to take this girl back for you?" A figure flashed outside the window, and Ikari jumped in gently.
Tang Bin knew that Ikari was not joking. There has always been a custom of bride snatching in the prairie. If a prairie man likes a woman from another tribe, he can use his tyrannical strength to challenge the strong man of the woman's tribe, and the winner can directly steal the woman.
Go. If you meet a woman who gets married, you can directly defeat the groom, and then the bride can be taken directly back to the bridal chamber.
Waving his hand, Tang Bin said: "Don't be joking, I just don't want to harm innocent people. How are you doing there?"
Ikari smiled and raised a small piece of sound transmission stone in her hand, and said: "As you guessed, Amber is determined to stay and cooperate with the city lord's subsequent actions. So I left half of the sound transmission stone to him, so that he can
It was convenient for us to communicate secretly, and everything went very smoothly."
Tang Bin smiled and nodded. He was about to say something, but suddenly his brows furrowed and he said in a solemn voice: "Coming back with a tail, does this mean everything went well?"
Ikari was stunned for a moment, and after sensing it with her spirit, her face suddenly darkened, and she said slowly: "Damn it, we were discovered by them, but based on their strength, they don't have the ability to keep us."
Seeing Ikari turning around and about to rush out, Tang Bin grabbed her and said calmly: "Don't be impulsive, come with me!"
