At the Hong Family Mansion, many strong men from the Gao, Hong, and An families were gathering here to discuss how to deal with the iron-blooded revenge. However, their faces were filled with sadness, anger and solemnity, and they all bowed their heads and remained silent.
The current person in charge of the Gao family, Gao Shiming's younger brother, Gao Yi, a high-ranking Sword Emperor, looked at everyone with a gloomy look, and then turned to the landlord, an old man with white hair and small eyes from the Hong family, and said with a touch of anger in his voice.
: "Mr. Hong, since you have summoned everyone, you should come up with a plan first. When we encountered this kind of thing in the past, our Gao family would also come up with a plan in advance."
No wonder Gao Yi was angry. In the past, the three families would gather at the Gao family for any matter. However, with the death of many strong members of the Gao family and their strength being greatly reduced, the Hong family suddenly stood up to gather everyone. The strong members of the Gao family wanted to
The Chamber of Commerce's powerful corpse is still cold, but the Hong family actually does this. This is not a naked seizure of power. How could Gao Yi endure this tone? If it weren't for the wrong time, he would have exploded.
His cold gaze swept over Gao Yi's face, and a murderous intent flashed in the old man's eyes, but it disappeared for a moment, and no one noticed it at all. Then he glanced at everyone again, and then said in a deep voice: "Gao Yixian is right.
Since I am the one recruiting everyone, according to the rules, I have to come up with a response plan first."
The old man's name is Hong Xinlong. He is an old man of Gao Feng's generation and one of the first people to found the Jinfu Merchant Association. His strength has reached the primary level of Sword Emperor, only half a step weaker than Gao Feng.
Hong Xinlong paused for a moment and continued: "We clearly underestimated the strength of the Iron Bloods at the beginning, and we greatly underestimated their strength. This led to our current passivity. But now is not the time to hold anyone accountable. We are now going to
What we are doing is how to resist the iron blood, and we may even take the opportunity to steal the ancient elixir from their hands..."
"Hmph!" Before Hong Xinlong finished speaking, Gao Yi snorted coldly. When he originally planned to snatch the pill formula from Tie Xue, it was his Gao family who was the head of the three families, and most of the information was obtained by his Gao family.
Come on, now that Hong Xinlong has said this, doesn't it make it clear that this matter is due to the Gao family's incompetence in handling affairs?
"Nephew Gao Xian, what do you have to say?" Being interrupted, Hong Xinlong's face darkened and he immediately looked at Gao Yi. At the same time, the powerful aura that the Sword Emperor should have had also pressed towards Gao Yi.
Feeling the sudden heavy pressure on his body, Gao Yi's expression changed. Awed by Hong Xinlong's powerful strength, he did not dare to say anything more, so he had to quickly say to Hong Xinlong: "Junior has nothing to say, senior please continue."
"If you have nothing to say, don't make random noises. If you are not in good health, go find an alchemist as soon as possible to refine some elixirs." Hong Xinlong snorted coldly, ignored Gao Yi, and continued: "Iron blood can kill Gao Feng and the others.
It means that there are also Sword Emperor masters within the Iron Blood, and it is very likely that there are more than one, or more than just beginners. With the current strength of the three of us, even if we resist, I am afraid that we will suffer heavy losses, our strength will be greatly damaged, and we will take advantage of others in vain, so
We must find foreign aid now."
"You mean to find the Leng family and the Bai family?" Next to Hong Xinlong, a thin old man in blue clothes with deep-set eyes frowned and said with a worried look on his face: "Since then, we have suppressed them.
Later, we have never dated in these years, so if we go to them now, it would be difficult for them to agree."
This person's name is An Qing, who is of the same generation as Hong Xinlong. He is also one of the founders of the Jinfu Chamber of Commerce. He is a powerful Sword Emperor and is the ancestor of the entire An family. It is no wonder that he dared to interrupt Hong Xinlong casually.
"Huh, don't agree? Don't forget that Jinfu Chamber of Commerce also has their share. Although they have not participated in the management these years, they have not lost a point in the annual dividends. Moreover, even if they win the iron-blooded elixir, they will still have a share.
How could they possibly get away with this matter if they only have their share?" Hong Xinlong sneered and said with a sullen face.
"That's true." An Qing thought for a while, and finally nodded in agreement, and he couldn't help but disagree with this matter. The iron-blooded strength is too strong. Without the help of the Lengbai family, even if they win, they will be very powerful by then.
The Lengbai family will definitely not be willing to give up, and they will fight for the right to speak in the Chamber of Commerce again. They will definitely not be able to compete by then. As long as the Lengbai family wins the right to speak in the Chamber of Commerce, they will definitely suppress the three of them in every possible way. By then, the three of them will
It will gradually decline.
But now, we have to bring the Lengbai and Bai families together. Even if there is a loss, it will be with everyone. After the war, the Lengbai and Bai families will not dare to snatch the right to speak in the Chamber of Commerce from them.
"Now we not only have to bring in the Lengbai family, but also the Feng family. We must not let them stand aside and watch the fun." Hong Xinlong sneered and continued: "Anyway, the Feng family is also the lord of this city.
Representing the entire Minghuang Kingdom, as long as they stand on our side, it means that the Minghuang Kingdom is on our side."
"This is a good idea." An Qing thought for a while, nodded in agreement, and then said with some worry: "It's just that the Feng family may not help us in this matter. After all, the relationship between us is not very good at this time.
I’m afraid I’d rather see us in trouble.”
"There is no reason why they won't help." Hong Xinlong sneered and said, "As long as we find the old ghost from the Lengbai family and go to his city lord's mansion, I don't believe he dares to refuse."
Although the Feng family is the city lord family here, its strength is only slightly stronger than one of them. The Feng family may not be afraid of one-on-one, but if several families appear together, the Feng family will be extremely afraid of it.
They don't want to agree to help, and I'm afraid they don't dare to say no. This is a typical example of forcing a woman to have a baby.
"Okay, without further ado, the two of us will go to Leng's house first and then to Bai's house." An Qing thought for a while, then stood up and said.
"It's not that troublesome. The two families have always been led by the Leng family, and now the Bai family happens to be in the Leng family." Hong Xinlong sneered and said: "I'm afraid they are discussing how to snatch it from us after we suffer heavy losses.
Go back to the Chamber of Commerce!"
In the Leng family, several warriors with happy faces and calm auras were sitting in the living room discussing things. Suddenly, one of them, a woman in her thirties who still had charm, changed her face, and stood up from her chair with a cry.
He stood up, and then, a middle-aged man in tight-fitting Tsing Yi, with a medium build and a square face, also changed his expression and stood up.
"Haha, Leng Yue, my old friend came to visit, so I didn't come out to greet him." A wanton laugh suddenly came from outside the door, circling back and forth in the living room, lingering for a long time.
"If I don't answer, will you not come?" The woman said coldly towards the door. As her voice fell, the faces of everyone in the living room suddenly changed, and they all stood together.
He stood up and looked out the door with an unkind expression.
Two figures flashed out of the door, and two people suddenly appeared in the living room. These two people were Hong Xinlong and An Qing.
"Leng Yue, I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still the same as before." Hong Xinlong looked at the woman and smiled.
"Why don't I need you to worry about me?" The woman snorted coldly and looked at Hong Xinlong with an unkind expression.
"Hong Xinlong, what are you doing here? You are not welcome here!" The middle-aged man standing side by side with the woman looked at Hong Xinlong, his pupils shrank, and he said coldly.
"You don't welcome me?" Hong Xinlong looked at the middle-aged man and sneered, with a flash of sarcasm on his face: "When did you, Bailong, take charge of the Leng family? Have you already married into the Leng family?"
It turns out that this woman and middle-aged man are Leng Yue and Bai Long, the real leaders of the Leng and Bai families. They are also one of the founders of the Jinfu Chamber of Commerce. They were originally together with Hong Xinlong, An Qing and Gao who had been killed by Wen Hao.
Feng is a very good friend, but it was not until a few decades ago that the five families started fighting among themselves for their own interests, and their relationship began to deteriorate.
Especially in the end, after the three Gao Hongan families joined forces to drive the Leng family and the Bai family out of the chamber of commerce, the two sides almost became mortal enemies. However, considering that both sides are not weak, once they fight, no matter who wins, they will suffer heavy losses in the end.
, and in the end, it only benefits others, so everyone keeps restraining themselves.
In order to appease the two families and not fight to the death with them, the three families completely drove the two families out of the chamber of commerce, but their shares in the chamber of commerce were still retained by them, but this share could only be collected every year.
Dividends no longer have the right to speak.
"Hong Xinlong, are you really ready for a showdown with my Bai family?" Bailong was furious when he heard this, and an evil spirit rose from his face. He likes Leng Yue, everyone knows this
But Leng Yue never married for the sake of the Leng family. This is also known to everyone. Hong Xinlong said this now, not to openly humiliate him.
"Are we, the Hong family, afraid of you?" Hong Xinlong's face darkened when he heard this, and murderous aura surged throughout his body.
"Okay." Leng Yue shouted coldly and said: "This is my Leng Mansion. If you have any grievances, please go out and deal with them before you come in."
Hearing this, although the two of them were still glaring with murderous intent, they stopped talking.
"Okay, Lao Hong, just stop saying a few words. We have business here today." An Qing also advised him in time.
After giving Hong Xinlong and An Qing a cold look, Leng Yue said, "Tell me, when did you come to my Leng Mansion today?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Hong Xinlong sneered and said: "Now that the Chamber of Commerce is in crisis, the Chamber of Commerce also has your share. You have only taken money and done nothing in these years, so now you should fulfill your obligations, right?"
Hearing this, whether it was Bai Long, Leng Yue, or other strong men from the two families, their expressions all changed, and cold murderous intent emerged from their bodies.
Are you not responsible for the Chamber of Commerce? You forced it out. Now, not only are you causing trouble, but you are asking us to wipe your butts, and you are also saying that we are not here. This is not too much of a lie.
Seeing that the expressions of Leng Yue and others were wrong, An Qing yelled something bad in his heart, and quickly explained: "Don't mind it, Lao Hong is like this, he is not very good at expressing, I believe that the matter between the Chamber of Commerce and the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group
You also know that the Iron-blooded mercenary group not only killed Gao Feng and many strong men from our three families, but also threatened to destroy the Chamber of Commerce and our three families."
"No matter what grudges we had in the past, the Chamber of Commerce is jointly owned by the five of us after all, and you have also received a lot of dividends over the years. If the Chamber of Commerce does not have it, it will not benefit any of us, so what we mean is that we want everyone to join us.
Let’s join forces to resist the Iron-blooded mercenary group. It is said that the Iron-blooded mercenary group has an ancient elixir in their hands. As long as we get it, our strength will greatly increase, and we will no longer have to look at other people’s faces to act."
