Volume 1 The Red City Chapter 20 The Mountain Rain is Coming
Qianliancheng, the head of the Thousand Families, sat at the top, and behind him stood the steward Qianshi and his son Qianyang.
On the left side of Qianlian City is Han Cang, the head of the Han family, and behind him are the two brothers Han Chuan and Han Shan, and the housekeeper of the Zhuang family is sitting next to Han Cang, and behind him stands a young man who Qingliu has never seen.
On the right side of Qianlian City is Wei Wushuang, the steward of Mangdian, and behind him stands Wei Bai, whom Qingliu had seen on the auction table. Lin Qingyu, the steward of Jinyi Building, sat next to Wei Wushuang, and Lin Yan stood behind him, who was also an acquaintance of Qingliu.
The rest of the slightly larger families in Hongcheng also came, sitting at the bottom, Qingliu didn't even care about them, these are all small fish and shrimp, some families don't even have the strong people in the Jun Realm, even if there are strong people in the Jun Realm, they have the strength of the second or third level of the Jun Realm, there is nothing to be afraid of, these people are purely here to fish in troubled waters, and they want to take advantage of the opportunity.
What really makes Qingliu feel tricky is the thousands of Han families, Mangdian Jinyi Building, these are the ones who can do the master in the Red City, and if they are done, things will be much easier. The first thing Qingliu had to do was to let everyone in this red city let go of the idea of eating Qing Manlou in one bite.
"Now that everyone is here, let's have a feast, pour the moon, and play the piano. Seeing the solemn atmosphere in the pavilion, the matchmaker wanted to ease the atmosphere and spoke.
At this time, he heard Han Cang interrupt the matchmaker's words, and said with a smile: "The main owner of the banquet has not yet appeared, what kind of banquet is held, the matchmaker should call the person who can be the master to come out and speak." ”
The matchmaker hesitated several times when she heard this, and couldn't help but look at Qingliu.
Qingliu nodded slightly to the matchmaker, gave her a reassuring look, and raised her legs to take a step forward.
Qingliu walked straight to the table and said lightly: "The head of the Han family is right, the master has not arrived, and there is indeed no reason to have a banquet." ”
Qingliu took a few steps, but walked in front of Qian Liancheng, the head of the Thousand Families, and said softly: "The Thousand Masters of the Thousand Families, here, this is my seat." ”
Qian Liancheng was stunned when he heard this, and then his face was angry, and Qian Shi, the steward behind him, immediately took a step forward and drank: "Presumptuous, you dare to ask the head of my family to give up your seat." ”
As soon as the language is finished, he will punch and hit Qingliu.
Qingliu Mangjie flashed, there was an extra Po Dan in his hand, his index finger and middle finger clamped Po Dan, stretched it out in front of Qianshi, and slowly said, "What? Do you want to die?"
Qianshi was puzzled when he heard Qingliu's words, and looked at the elixir between Qingliu's fingers in a daze.
"It's Po Dan!" Someone at the banquet said in shock, Qingliu looked for prestige, but it was Han Shan of the Han family.
Qingliu evoked a weird smile and said with a light smile: "It seems that there are still people who know the goods." ”
Han Shan immediately stepped forward quickly, grabbed Qianshi, and dissuaded: "This is a Broken Pill of the Monarch Realm, if he triggers the mangqi in the Broken Dan and makes the Dan explode, I am afraid that this floor will be flattened." ”
The heads of the families also came back to their senses, most of them still heard of the name of Po Dan, and when everyone looked at the Mangdan in Qingliu's hand, their eyes unconsciously became more hot.
"Stand down. Qianliancheng opened his mouth to drink, but he said it to Qianshi, and Qianshi's old face looked unwilling, but he still retreated according to his words. Qianlian Chenghuo got up, looked at Qingliu for a moment, and then said angrily: "Seventh Young Master Lou, please!"
After saying that, Qianliancheng sat down, and Qianshi Qianyang hurriedly followed.
"Feast, play the piano. Qingliu waved his left hand and said softly.
The moon plays the sound of the piano, and the sound is soft and tactful, which is extremely beautiful. Qingliu glanced around the table, glanced at each other with the heads of various families, and then said softly: "I invite you to come to my Qingmanlou today, just for one thing." ”
Speaking of this, Qingliu paused, his gaze still wandering between the heads of the family. The heads of the families looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Qingliu opened his mouth and continued: "I think you have all found out that I didn't invite the Feng family to the Taige banquet today, and what I want to say happens to be related to the Feng family. ”
Qingliu poured himself a glass of wine, held it in his hand, and said: "The head of the Imperial Capital Qing family died, and some small people wanted to swallow my Qing Manlou, which is also ridiculous, this Feng family is also the top force in the Red City, but I never thought that it was so short-sighted. ”
"I have a huge foundation in the building, how can the little Feng family eat it in one bite, do you say?" Qingliu took a sip and asked everyone.
The faces of the people were different, and they all did not answer.
Qingliu didn't care, and continued to himself: "Then the young master of the Feng family came to my Qingmanlou a few months ago to make trouble, killed my Qingmanlou servant, and regarded my Qingmanlou as if there was nothing, this... I can't bear it, a few days ago, Feng Ran, the steward of the Feng family, brought someone to my Qingmanlou to make trouble, just to explore the bottom of my Qingmanlou. ”
"But I, Lou Qi, can tell you that he has found out something when he investigates. Qingliu's voice suddenly froze, and he said coldly.
Everyone was puzzled, looked at Qingliu, and only listened to Qingliu said: "The people of my Qingmanlou can't die in vain, I invite you to come today, which is to tell you that my Qingmanlou will never die with the Feng family from today." ”
As soon as Qingliu's words came out, there was an uproar, and Qingliu continued: "And today's banquet for you is to make you cut off contact with the Feng family, so as to ensure that the families will not join forces with the Feng family." ”
"Come on, clean up the table. Qingliu shouted and commanded.
Suddenly, the servant stepped forward, took the dishes that had not been moved, and emptied the table.
With a wave of his left hand, the manghuan streamer flickered, and the table was suddenly filled with giant rhino wood boxes, which dazzled everyone.
With a wave of his sleeves, the red mangqi with a gentle mang's energy, Qi Qi opened the wooden box, turned his head to Han Shan, and chuckled: "Young Master Han Shan, you are the only one here who understands, please tell you about it, lest you don't know the goods and say that I am stingy." ”
Han Shan was already stunned the moment the wooden box was opened, his eyes were fixed on the many wooden boxes on the table, and he swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
Seeing him look like this, Han Cang kicked him lightly and drank: "Little rabbit cub, why are you stunned, Young Master Lou asked you to tell the family supervisors, did you hear it?" ”
Han Shan came back to his senses at this time, walked to the table and picked up a wooden box, looked at it carefully, and was stunned for a while, and then looked at several wooden boxes in a row, but his expression became more and more solemn.
Everyone already knew the identity of Han Shan's refiner, and I am afraid that many people had even seen Han Shan's master Shi Yu, and when they saw him look like this at this time, they couldn't help but be puzzled.
"You refined all these mangdans?" Han Shan didn't explain anything, but turned his head to look at Qingliu and asked in a daze.
Qingliu just smiled, but didn't answer.
"Huh" Han Shan exhaled lightly, calmed his mood, and then explained: "On this table, there are fifty Monarch Realm Mangdan, with the rich Mangdan's strong Mangdan, you should be able to distinguish it, in addition, there are five Junjing Medicine Pills on this table, five Junjing Breaking Pills, and most importantly, all the Mangdans on this table, the quality has reached eighty percent, and the weight of them, you must be clear, I won't say more." ”
As soon as Han Shan's voice fell, the pavilion immediately fell into a deathly silence.
"Goo" I don't know who there was a soft sound in the throat, and everyone suddenly came back to their senses, looking at the wooden box on the table, their eyes were hot.
"I don't know if you are satisfied with this bargaining chip?" Qingliu asked with a smile.
Zhuang Ran of the Zhuang family was an old acquaintance of Qingliu, and asked: "Young Master Lou took out these Mandans, is it just that we don't interfere in the affairs of Qingmanlou and the Feng family?"
Qingliu nodded lightly and replied: "The imperial capital Qing's family is weak now, if I don't let blood in the building, I'm afraid you won't be able to go, I understand this truth, so I have today's pavilion banquet, but the Feng family wants to remove the foundation of my Qingmanlou in the Red City, but this is too deceitful, the dog is in a hurry and jumps the wall, not to mention that my Qingmanlou may not be the dog who jumped over the wall, so please accept it when you see it, I Qingmanlou and the Feng family's affairs, please don't interfere." ”
All of you here are either the heads of the family or the stewards, shrewd and cunning like foxes, and the implied meaning between Qingliu's words is clearly understood in everyone's hearts: Qing Manlou broke the fortune and eliminated the disaster, and the Feng family pinched to prove that he had the strength to stand in the Red City, and each family took the benefits, if they were forced to work hard, it would be no wonder that Qing Manlou jumped off the wall in a hurry.
After all, Qingmanlou is the power of the imperial capital, and everyone doesn't know what the background is, but now Qingmanlou can be so strong, take out these Mandans, I'm afraid that the background is still not weak, and everyone can't help but hesitate.
Qingliu is not in a hurry, sitting quietly at the head of the table, drinking by himself, he doesn't seem to take the major families to heart, the matchmaker on the side is already holding jade hands tightly at this time, and her palms are sweating, but her face is silent, for fear of being seen the emotions in her heart.
After a long time, the head of the Thousand Families Qianliancheng, Huo got up and asked Qingliu: "If my Thousand Families don't participate in the battle between your Qingmanlou and the Feng family, how many benefits are there?"
This Qianliancheng is also a real person, and he doesn't shy away from asking how many benefits he asks.
Qingliu put down his wine glass and replied with a light smile: "Eight Monarch Realm Mangdan, one Monarch Realm Medicine Pill, and one Monarch Realm Breaking Pill, is it enough?"
When Qian Liancheng heard this, his face immediately showed joy, and he said, "Okay, from today on, my Qian family has nothing to do with the Feng family, let's go." ”
After speaking, Qianliancheng waved his robe, rolled the wooden box on the table, and said no more to the amount of Qingliu's words, and walked out of the pavilion.
There are thousands of families in front, everyone is moved, Zhuang Ran is also open, seeing that Qingliu is still the number reported, Zhuang Ran can't help but smile, and Qingliu has a conversation, but also out of the cabinet.
Then Mangdian Jinyilou couldn't sit still, and asked Qingliu, Qingliu still reported eight Junjing Mangdan, and one Junjing Medicine Pill Po Dan, and the two families were full of joy and took Mangdan out of the pavilion.
At this time, only the Han family was still sitting in the Tai Pavilion, and the rest of the small family Qingliu only gave one or two Junjing Mangdan, and then easily dismissed.
Seeing that the Han family was still sitting, Qingliu's face couldn't help but turn cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What, does the head of the Han family want to gnaw on the bone of my Qingmanlou?"
Han Cang turned his head suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he looked straight at the eyes that Shangqingliu was looking at.
The two looked at each other for a long time, Qingliu's heart was also slightly tight, and he secretly operated the mangqi in his body, if this Han Cangzhen was determined to be the enemy of Qing Manlou, Qingliu would hit him hard even if he attacked him.
"Daddy. Han Chuan, who was behind Han Cang, called softly.
When Han Cang heard Han Chuan calling him, he turned his head to the side, and said angrily: "Little rabbit cub, if you want to say it yourself, Lao Tzu can't afford to lose this person." ”
Qingliu was puzzled and couldn't help but look at Han Chuan.
Han Chuan scratched the back of his head and said, "That... I want to marry Tilting Moon, okay?"
The sound of "Zheng" was broken from the edge of the pavilion, but it was the strings of the Leaning Moon Piano that were broken.
Qingliu smiled and asked, "Ming Media is marrying?"
Han Chuan's expression froze, and he wanted to nod, but Han Cang slapped him on the table, and drank at Han Chuan: "You little rabbit cub, don't you want to recognize me as a father? Ming Media is marrying this girl, and the old guy in Qianlian City can't find Lao Tzu to work hard? Zhuang Ran, that old guy probably won't let Lao Tzu go, little cub, you have to think about Lao Tzu, my Han family's foundation has been laid down by our ancestors for generations, don't end up buried in your hands." ”
As if he hadn't heard Han Cang's words, Han Chuan slowly turned his head and looked at the moon sitting not far away. The slender jade hand of the moon was still on the strings, dressed in white like frost, looking cold and elegant, although she did not raise her head, she seemed to know that Han Chuan was looking at her, her pretty face was slightly red, and she buried her head lower.
"Would you like to marry me?" Han Chuan muttered to the moon.
When Tilting Moon heard this, her eyes were misty, but she raised her head, Yu Hanchuan looked at each other, and replied, "I'm not worthy of you, why are you obsessed with me?"
When Qingliu heard this, he stood up and said in a cold voice: "Who said that you are not worthy of him? When did the person who was full of buildings in my Qing Dynasty become so inferior? Han Chuan, if you want to marry, you can, Ming Media is marrying, send off guests." ”
Han Chuan ignored Qingliu's words, still looking at the moon, Han Cang snorted coldly: "Sending off guests? ”
Qingliu stared at Han Cang, and said coldly: "Master Han, with your five-fold cultivation of the Monarch Realm, it is worth at most three or five broken pills in the Shadow Gate, I said to send off guests, do you have any opinions?"
Hearing the word Yingmen, Han Cang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately stood up and said to the two brothers Han Chuan and Han Shan: "Let's go." ”
Looking back, seeing that Han Chuan was still stunned, Han Cang lightly rubbed his foot on Han Chuan's calf and said, "Let's go, do you hear?"
Han Chuan came back to his senses, looked at the moon, then at Qingliu, and then followed Han Cang out of the pavilion. Qingliu glanced at the Mangdan on the table, but the Han family didn't ask for a single pill.
"This Han family, whether they are friends or foes. Qingliu muttered to himself.
In fact, Qingliu didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Han family, after all, Han Chuan had also helped Qing Manlou to relieve the siege, but Qing Manlou's meat was too fat, and the families in the Red City were not Qingliu who could loosen their mouths.
The reason why each family still has some scruples about Qing Manlou is that they have not yet figured out the details of Qing Manlou, but how Qing Manlou's family background is Qingliu himself knows, except for the matchmaker, only Qingliu is still Junjing. With only two monarchs, it is absolutely impossible to resist the families in the Red City.
Today's Taige banquet Qingliu is so strong, but it is only a strong inward, if Qing Manlou does not take any action next, the families will still not give up.
The matchmaker walked to Qingliu and sat down, sighing, "Little guy, it's hard for you." ”
Qingliu smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's not difficult to be embarrassed, it's just that there is not much time left for us, Qing Manlou must make a big move next, otherwise he won't be able to stop everyone." ”
How to do it next is to make it difficult for Qingliu, Qing Manlou must now make a move on the Feng family to prove his strength, otherwise he will inevitably be swallowed by various families, but the strength of the Feng family is not weak, and how to do it is a big problem.
"Do you really want to ask the people from the Shadow Gate to do it?" Qingliu muttered to himself.
Qingliu, the force of the Shadow Gate, had heard of it in Luohuang City, and later asked Mu Chen, who said that this force was based in the eastern part of the Western Regions, and it was definitely not at the same level compared to the Qing family.
Shadow Gate is doing murderous business, taking people's money, and eliminating disasters for others, but this price is not very cheap, a Junjing one or two will cost thousands of red mango stones or a Junjing medicine pill, if you ask Yingmen to deal with the Feng family, the cost should be very large, with Qing Manlou's family background, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue.
What's more, asking Yingmen to make a move does not prove Qing Manlou's own strength, even if the Feng family is destroyed, it is still difficult for Qing Manlou to gain a foothold in Hongcheng.
"This shadow gate can only be a way out of the question, unless it is a last resort, it is better not to use it. Qingliu muttered to himself.
Most of the Feng family's monarch realm powerhouses are one, two, two, and three strengths, and the steward Feng Ran has entered the fourth level of the monarch realm, Qingliu is now extremely reluctant to the people of the third level of the monarch realm, and he is afraid that Feng Ran is more than lucky, as for the strength of Feng Xuan's monarch realm fivefold, Qingliu has no way to match it now, and Feng Yuan, the great elder of the Feng family, that Qingliu said about it, Qingliu has not even seen it, and he doesn't even know what he looks like.
If you attack the Feng family, Feng Ran, Feng Xuan and Feng Yuan, Qingliu must be careful, before his own strength is not enough, he must not confront him, if not, I am afraid that Mu Chen will have to make a move, and Qingliu will be able to retreat.
To deal with the Feng family, it is necessary to defeat it head-on, otherwise, it is to tell everyone in the Red City that Qing Manlou is weak and can be bullied, and then I am afraid that even if the Feng family is destroyed, Qing Manlou will still be in danger.
"Sister Hongniang, tomorrow we may need to go to the Feng family, try how deep the Feng family's water is, it's really not good, I'll throw a few broken pills in the Feng Mansion, I'm full of buildings, there must be a move." Qingwan turned his head to the matchmaker and spoke.
When the matchmaker heard this, she was about to nod.
...
Suddenly, there was a strong pressure in the air.
Mu Chen's face behind Qingliu changed drastically, and he walked to the edge of the pavilion in two steps, looking up at the sky.
Qingliu also felt this pressure, and hurriedly followed outside the pavilion.
Standing on the pavilion, several people took in the deep forest mountain range in the distance.
At this time, in the distance above the Deep Forest Mountain Range, a crimson fire fell straight down, containing pure mangs, and the mangs in the Deep Forest Mountain Range were in a mess, fleeing in all directions, and some even ran out of the Deep Forest Mountain Range and rushed towards the Red City.
"It's... This is, the heavens are gone. Mu Chen looked at the falling firelight in the sky and muttered in surprise.
The firelight fell straight into the center of the deep forest mountain range, but there was no strange sound, and as soon as it fell into the mountain forest, the mangsan pressure that had originally made Qingliu a little breathless also disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
Mu Chen clenched his palms, turned around and returned to the pavilion, and immediately said to Qingliu: "This red city, it shouldn't be peaceful." ”
