"Sir, you went to the meeting organized by the Emperor of Thorns yesterday and you didn't have anything to say?" A certain senior official said, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
When they learned that Xu Tian had left the Thorn Territory unscathed, they were all shocked.
The Wolf King was most active when he attacked the Thorns. How could the Thorns Emperor let his former enemy go?
However, even if Xu Tian did not die in the thorns' territory, they were not worried.
After all, keeping the Wolf King is still useful to them.
"Where have I been and what have I done do I need to report to you?" Xu Tian snorted coldly and looked directly at the senior executive.
The senior manager smiled playfully and said nothing more.
"Wolf King, now is not the time to worry about these things. We came to you because we have something important to discuss with you."
Another elder spoke.
"What are we discussing?" Xu Tian said straight to the point, "I have heard that one of our branches was attacked by a gang affiliated with Jingji and suffered heavy losses."
"That's right." Zhou Laosi said, "Our branch had a conflict with a gang affiliated with Thorns. Relying on the backing of Thorns headquarters, the other party was emboldened and directly attacked our branch. The people in that branch were almost wiped out."
"Trash!" Xu Tian slapped the table hard. With the character of the Wolf King, he would definitely be furious when he heard this news.
The subordinate gangs of Thorns were so wanton and reckless, and they didn't take Canglang Palace seriously at all.
The Wolf King is a reckless man who is not afraid of anything. He will definitely not swallow his anger when faced with such a provocation.
"Now is not the time to lose your temper. The top priority now is to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible." A hint of calculation flashed in Zhou Laosi's eyes, "Now we are divided into two camps. One side feels that we should fight back at all costs, even if we fight against thorns.
We can't give in even if we die together; the other part of us thinks that it's just a branch, and it doesn't matter if we lose it. Since we know we can't defeat it, we might as well let it go, rest and recuperate, and accumulate strength."
"Of course, you still need to decide what to do in the end, Lord Wolf King."
As soon as Zhou Laosi finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Tian.
No matter what he chooses, he will eventually face a difficult situation.
If you choose to fight back, your vitality will definitely be severely damaged;
But if you choose to keep things quiet, you will also make the thorns worse.
Today they dare to encourage their subordinate gangs to destroy the Canglang Palace branch, and tomorrow they dare to bring people to the headquarters to make trouble.
What's even more fatal is that with the character of the Wolf King, it is impossible to calm down the trouble.
Therefore, this problem is equivalent to putting Xu Tian on the fire. No matter what choice he makes, he must face the crisis head-on.
Xu Tian did not speak immediately.
He is thinking about how to perfectly resolve this crisis and make the most of this opportunity to establish his prestige.
At the same time, he also wanted to use this opportunity to try to find flaws in the Emperor of Thorns.
If he leads people to attack Thorns' subordinate gangs, how will the Emperor react?
Will he send people to destroy Canglang Palace, or will he just pretend that nothing happened?
If the emperor could even tolerate the annihilation of his subordinate gang, he had to suspect that this woman was Tang Bingyan.
Because as early as the moment of his rebirth, Xu Tian knew that Tang Bingyan was the only one in the world who would indulge him without any bottom line.
"Zhong Ling, Zhong Yu, what do you think?" After Xu Tian made up his mind, he looked sideways at the two little girls sitting on his right.
"What's there to worry about? Of course, just go straight up!" Zhong Yu spoke first, "These people have bullied us. If we swallow their anger, they will definitely get worse!"
Xu Tian had already anticipated what this girl was thinking. Even though Zhong Yu looked like a cute girl on the outside, she was actually a militant by nature.
She was able to be reused by the Wolf King, perhaps because the two have similar personalities.
Zhong Ling pursed her lips, obviously disapproving of Zhong Yu.
"Zhong Ling, what do you think?" Xu Tian asked.
"The gangs under Thorns cannot be underestimated. It will not be good for us to attack them rashly." Zhong Ling pondered for a moment and then said, "And it is said that this subordinate gang has a close relationship with the headquarters. If they are attacked, the headquarters will not be able to sit idly by.
Reason, what we will face when the time comes is to directly fight against the thorns."
"We only lost one branch this time. Even if we abandon it directly, there won't be much loss." After Zhong Ling finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Xu Tian, "Brother Yi, this is my idea."
"Yes, I understand." Xu Tian nodded, his eyes swept over the senior officials in the meeting hall, and then he cleared his throat and said, "Pass the order, this time I will personally go out and capture this Thorny subordinate gang.
"
For a moment, the whole place fell into silence.
Zhong Ling opened his mouth in surprise, but finally said nothing.
As for the other senior officials, they looked at Xu Tian like a fool. Even those who shouted the most fiercely before and said they would fight him back now had a look of contempt and ridicule on their faces.
It's not illegal to inflame the atmosphere by talking in parliament, and you won't lose anything, but if you really want to take action, it's no joke.
Even the most radical senior officials in the previous discussion never really wanted to lead people to attack the gangs affiliated with Thorns right away.
"Wolf King, you are so reckless and hasty, where do you want to put our brothers in Canglang Palace? That is a subordinate gang of Thorns. Once the war starts, can we withstand Thorns' offensive?" A senior executive slapped the table and jumped.
He stood up and shouted at Xu Tian with an unhappy expression, "You are making fun of our lives here!"
"What he said makes sense. We are currently too busy to take care of internal and external troubles. We still have to help the branch seek justice. How can we be busy?" Another senior executive agreed, "And the gang affiliated with Thorns is in Nanshan, so far away from Kuncheng.
We have to mobilize our troops to travel long distances to start the war, so we have no advantage in the first place."
"Sir, you can't involve the entire Canglang Palace just because of your personal heroism..."
"That's right! Sir, you should think twice and don't be impulsive!"
…
The senior executives in the council room all spoke out to refute, feeling that Xu Tian's decision was extremely absurd.
"Haha... When I came in just now, you guys were so noisy. Many people said that they would capture the gangs affiliated with Thorns immediately." Xu Tian looked at everyone with a sneer, "Now that it's time to take action, everyone has turned into a shrinking man.
Are you confused?"
The senior executives who had made the most noise just now blushed, but there were unconvinced looks in their eyes.
"Even if we start a war, we must consider the long term." A senior executive said unconvinced, "If we send people to Nanshan, they will definitely be seen by the informants of other gangs in Kuncheng. The news will spread like wildfire. Do you think the gangs under Thorns will not take precautions?
?If they report the Thorns in advance and ask the forces from the Thorns headquarters to take action and cooperate inside and outside, then we will be attacked from both sides and the whole army will be annihilated!"
