Meng Xiuyun had no choice but to eat absentmindedly.
And when Bai Shuang finished eating, Hu Qingcang hadn't come back yet.
"It seems that Protector Zuo is not in good health. I will send a doctor to see Protector Zuo tomorrow."
Bai Shuang left after saying something that Meng Xiuyun couldn't tell whether it was ridicule or concern.
As soon as Bai Shuang left, Hu Qingcang came back.
He asked Meng Xiuyun anxiously and expectantly, "How is it? Is he fascinated by you?"
Meng Xiuyun stamped her feet in shame and anger, twisted her silk handkerchief with her fingers and said, "Second uncle, in my opinion, Chi Canan doesn't like women at all.
From beginning to end, he didn't look at me at all.
This is impossible for any man, right?
Even if he was no longer interested in me, he wouldn't be like this."
Hu Qingcang was completely confused, "What's going on?
After he came out of seclusion, he seemed to be a new person.
He had only been in seclusion for less than a month. It was impossible for him to improve his martial arts in such a short period of time.
Could it be..."
Did he know something that caused his personality to change drastically?
Hu Qingcang did not say these words.
Even if the person standing in front of him is his niece, he still has to hide it.
Except for the three Dharma Kings, no one else can be trusted.
At this time, Hu Qingcang only had a guess.
It was not until the next morning when he attended the morning meeting held every three days by the Yanluo Sect that he was sure that Chi Canan had really changed!
"Master, a new group of girls have recently arrived at Chunhua Tower at the foot of the mountain.
You see, if you have any ideas, we can pick a day to take a look.
In the main hall, the First Dharma King raised a smile that every man could understand, and said to Bai Shuang flatteringly.
Bai Shuang's handsome face was as cold as ice, "During the morning meeting, you are not allowed to talk about anything unrelated to Yan Luo, otherwise you will be dragged to the law hall for execution.
This order takes effect from now on."
Ever since Chi Canan took the position of leader, he has never been so serious.
In the past, everyone just joked around casually, and the morning meetings were spent making jokes.
But today, everyone looked at Bai Shuang's expressionless face, and then looked at each other.
It seems that the leader is not in a good mood.
It's better not to get into trouble.
So everyone shut their mouths and stopped talking.
The right protector said: "Master, Yanluo has some serious properties at the foot of the mountain. According to what you said before, all preparations are complete.
But those dog officials didn't know where they got the information, and knew that those shops were Yanluo's property.
He actually had people interrupt him from time to time and used official authority to pressure people, which seriously affected the store's business.
Leader, look, are we sending some of our disciples to guard the shop?
If those dog officials send people again, then we Yanluo will not be vegetarians, we will just fight them directly!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed: "That's too much! Do you really think that we Yan Luo are easy to bully!"
"Leader, let me go. I have long been unhappy with those dog officials. I want to have a good fight with them!"
"Otherwise, we should just forget about the expansion of Yanluo and drive away the government officials at the foot of the mountain. From now on, this area will be under our teachers' charge!"
The hall was noisy, and everyone was filled with indignation.
But Bai Shuang, who was sitting in a high position, didn't say a word.
Her dark eyes were dark, and she looked at them coldly and indifferently.
Everyone soon realized something was wrong, and their voices gradually became quieter. Finally, they all looked at Bai Shuang in despair. The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Right Protector." Bai Shuang then spoke, his voice cold and thin.
"My subordinate is here." The right protector knelt down loyally, a little excited.
Bai Shuang said: "Pull some gold from the warehouse and send it to the government."
"My subordinates take orders!" Protector Right said excitedly.
But he was stunned and looked up at Bai Shuang, "Leader, what did you say?"
"I said, send money to the government.
They are making such a fuss because they feel that the geese landing in the common people's place to do business will bring shame on their faces.
In this case, let's give them some money first and see if they can pass it on and see if they can go down this step.
If it were possible, there would be no need to go to war.
Sending disciples to suppress it and scare all the people away will make the mountain more prosperous?"
The right protector thought for a while and felt that this method was indeed better than simply using force to solve the problem.
"The leader is wise!" The right protector said on his knees.
"Master, I also have something to report." The master of the cafeteria stood up.
"Those people who grew vegetables in the mountains in previous years insist that farming is not easy this year and are unwilling to provide fruits and vegetables to Yanluo for nothing.
They said that if Yanluo needed it, he would buy it from them.
They can give us a cheaper price.
So what do you mean, do you also want to give them some money directly from the warehouse?"
Bai Shuang shook his head, "Then let them go."
"Ah?" The owner of the cafeteria was stunned.
Bai Shuang snorted coldly, "I didn't ask for money from them on the land where my Yan Luo was planted, I just asked for some fruits and vegetables.
It's just a drop in the bucket.
How dare they turn around and ask for money from me?
Roll, let them roll immediately and non-stop.
Even if they go down the mountain to buy more expensive food, they are not allowed to go back up the mountain."
The owner of the cafeteria responded with a sigh.
Although he didn't understand why the leader would do this, since the leader ordered it, he would definitely carry it out.
After the morning meeting ended, everyone had their own thoughts.
Hu Qingcang and the Three Dharma Kings secretly gathered together again.
The Third Dharma King couldn't figure it out even if he tried hard, "What do you think happened to Chi Canaan today?
When encountering matters related to the government in the past, wasn't he always the first to jump up and say that he would fight the government to the end?
Why are you so calm today and you actually want to give money to the government?"
Hu Qingcang broke out in a cold sweat, "Our plan should be slowed down for the time being, and we will try not to meet each other next time."
The Third Dharma King looked at Hu Qingcang strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
Why so scared?
Chi Jianan only had strong martial arts skills, but he had always been superficial and frivolous with no brains.
You know this.
Maybe he was just in a bad mood today, so everything happened in the opposite direction.
Maybe tomorrow he will be back to his usual frivolous behavior."
Hu Qingcang shook his head, "You came to Yanluo relatively late, so you don't know Chi Canan..."
The words came to my lips, but they didn't come out.
Hu Qingcang's mind suddenly recalled what happened that year.
It has only been more than ten years, but when I think about it now, it seems like it was a lifetime ago.
too long.
It took so long that he forgot that Chi Canan was not always so frivolous and romantic.
That night, it rained heavily.
Chi Canan, holding a sharp sword in his hand, covered in blood, holding the former leader's head in one hand, stood in the rain and looked at him.
Back then, the young Chi Canan was in the same situation as he is today.
