Volume 1: The Beginning of the Turbulence Chapter 12: The Current Situation of the Wu Family
At one's leisure.
Putting the bamboo chopsticks on the bowl, Ye Xiao smiled coldly. He didn't pay much attention to this situation. Wu Gang's thoughts, he Ye Xiao was already clear.
This is clearly deliberately selling miserably, so that he can feel pity and sympathy. If it weren't for the fact that he had already grasped the inside story, the kind-hearted Ye Xiao even thought that he would definitely believe what Wu Gang said and the tragic situation he performed.
With a contemptuous smile, Ye Xiao took the lead in speaking, interrupting Wu Gang, who was enjoying the dance: "The head of the Wu family is really good Yaxing." ”
Wu Gang was still immersed in the performance, and when he heard Ye Xiao's words, he hurriedly reacted: "Xiao...... What does Young Master Xiao command?"
Ye Xiao first thanked the head of the Wu family for his hospitality. But now that we've eaten and drunk, shouldn't we talk about business?"
Wu Gang, who still had an obscene smile on his face, reluctantly waved his hand below, and the maids immediately retreated. The huge VIP room suddenly emptied, except for the few people sitting at the table.
"I don't know what advice Young Master Xiao has?" Wu Gang rubbed his hands and greeted him with a smile. Although he looks calm on the surface, he is flustered inside.
Ye Xiao didn't answer, but sat there quietly, staring at Wu Gang silently. Ye Xiao's cold and weird gaze made Wu Gang feel goosebumps all over his body, and he was not uncomfortable at all.
"Young Master Xiao...... What's the matter...... Command?" Wu Gang finally trembled, and when he asked the words, he felt that he was on the verge of collapse.
Ye Xiao slowly covered the saucer, smiled a little playfully, and finally spoke: "On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Master Wu newly married the tenth concubine, why didn't he invite my Ling family to drink the wedding wine? Could it be that my Ling family can't get the gift money?"
Ye Xiao's words made Wu Gang suddenly shocked, and his heart felt like an explosion. Two months ago, on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, he married the tenth wife. However, the Wu family has always kept a low profile in this matter, only a few cronies in the clan have gotten some news, and it is impossible for ordinary Wu family servants to know about it. And in the past two months, the Wu family has not heard any gossip in the city. Where did the people of the Ling family hear from this?
Wu Gang stood there and didn't dare to come out, his legs trembling slightly. On his forehead, beads of sweat from excessive tension can be faintly seen.
"I also heard that Master Wu has recruited a new master, and his cultivation is not low. Master Wu is disgusted that my Ling family's protection measures are not in place......"
"Or do you have another plan!" Ye Xiao bombarded Wu Gang's heart like a hammer word by word.
Wu Gang, who was originally weak, was so frightened that he knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed to ask for sin: "Young Master Xiao atons for his sins." That person was my newly recruited personal bodyguard, and he didn't report it to the Ling family in time, so please don't blame the young master. Wu Gang is at fault, Wu Gang should fight. ”
"Are you so insecure?" he stared coldly at Wu Gang, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately, his heart full of disdain. Wu Gang's tricks, they have always seen in their eyes. How can these little tricks be hidden from the eyes of the Ling family?
"Don't dare, don't dare, Wu Gang immediately dismissed him to show my loyalty to the Ling family!" Wu Gang raised his right hand and swore to the sky, full of a servant's sincerity to the master.
Ye Xiao was disdainful of this, and seemed to be full of disgust for this stenching place: "Seeing that you have a good attitude today, I will give your Wu family a little more time, make up for all the things that have fallen over the years, and put away those tricks for me obediently." Otherwise, there will be no Wu family in Canglan City at that time. ”
"Yes, yes, thank you, young master, for raising your noble hand. Wu Gang was as grateful to Ye Xiao's words as if he had heard the fairy sound: "This is a little bit of my heart, and I hope that Young Master Xiao will accept it." ”
Seeing Wu Gang's humble pleading, Ye Xiao didn't speak again, reached out and took the space ring that Wu Gang handed over, and glanced at it casually. In this space ring handed over by Wu Gang, a small amount of silver taels was stored.
Ye Xiao naturally understood what he meant, and did not speak. After drinking tea, eating, and talking, the matter was basically done. Ye Xiao got up and said goodbye, and left the Wu family with Ling Xueyao and Ling Fu.
On the way, Wu Gang was still full of flattery and flattered in person.
It was still light when I came, and when I walked out of the hall door, it was getting dark. A row of lanterns hung in the hallway for lighting, and only a few of them were lit by stars, the light of which flickered with the wind.
"Master Wu, in fact, you really don't have to be like this. As long as you are obedient and obedient, my Ling family will naturally not treat your Wu family badly. Ye Xiao reminded seemingly casually.
"Yes. Wu Gang hurriedly picked up the words, nodded in thanks, and piled up a smile: "The Wu family must be obedient and obedient and hand in the offerings in time." ”
Ye Xiao hummed a small tune all the way and walked out of the Wu family's courtyard comfortably, and Ling Xueyao followed closely behind him all the way, not leaving half a step. Halfway down the road, Ling Fu, who was already walking behind, suddenly stopped, looked back a few times, and showed a trace of solemnity in his eyes. It was an instinctive sense of danger, and there seemed to be something there, which made his heart tighten.
"Steward Fu, what important items have been left behind, and the little one will pick it up for you personally?" Wu Gang noticed Ling Fu's movements, and ran over to curry favor.
"It's good to do it yourself. Ling Fu flicked his sleeves angrily, turned around and left, and didn't look at Wu Gang much.
Walking out of the gate of Wu's house, Wu Gang sent the three of them to the carriage. The wheels rolled again, and at the end of the sight, on the silent road with only the sound of horses' hooves and wheels, was a horse-drawn carriage speeding away.
Seeing the carriage in the distance, Wu Gang let out a heavy breath.
Staring at the direction of the smoke and dust, his eyes were no longer extremely respectful, and his face was no longer a flattering smile. Instead, there was a thick killing intent and an expression that gritted its teeth and distorted with extreme anger.
"Let you be arrogant, one day, everyone in your Ling family will die without a place to be buried. ”
"So much hatred for the Ling family?" a short figure wrapped in black clothes walked slowly from the darkness to where Wu Gang was.
"The Wu family's acting skills are really good, such a shameful groveling can be played so naturally. ”
"What else can I do? One day I'll get it back a thousand times over. Wu Gang was a little puzzled, and with one punch he broke a thick tree beside him. caused the birds and finches above the Wu family to be alarmed and cry indiscriminately.
"The Ling family doesn't give much time. If you want to live, you must be obedient. It's just that I'm a little curious, how did his Ling family know about such a secret thing as your Wu family? Even they can be keenly aware of my existence, and this Ling family's means are really quite big. ”
"I hope you don't mess up everything because of your Wu family. Otherwise, your Wu family will definitely die without a corpse!" After the man in black finished threatening, he didn't pay attention to Wu Gang anymore and disappeared into the darkness again.
Wu Gang gradually calmed down his restless mood, but the resentment in his heart did not diminish at all. He was the head of an upstream family, and he was treated as a pig and dog by the Ling family, and he needed to behave like this in front of the man in black. Why? He is not reconciled, he wants to take revenge on everyone.
"Hey, hey, hey, the game in Canglan City is about to end. Let me see who is the real winner in the end. ”
In the darkness, such a hoarse and terrifying voice came from nowhere. As soon as the voice was spoken, the sound gradually dissipated into the air until it was completely subsidised.
According to Ling Tianhao's transmission, Ye Xiao and the three of them came to an inn. Due to the delay of the Wu family's questioning, they had to stay outside tonight.
The Ling family lived in an inn called Guanglai. The name of the store is the same, which means to invite visitors from all over the world. This Guanglai Inn is the largest inn in Canglan City. The store is also unique, with restaurants, casinos, and teahouses. Crowded with people, business is booming.
Guanglai Inn is worthy of being the first inn in Canglan, and the interior decoration of the room is even more exquisite. The splendid palace, the precious landscape and plant paintings, the rare antique decorations, and the comfortable and soft leather carpets all show the luxury style.
The room where Ling Tianhao was located was even more luxurious. The various objects placed in it are extremely rare and expensive.
"Is the matter done?" Ling Tianhao asked with a smile when he saw everyone coming.
"Dad, this is the attitude of the Wu family. ”
Ye Xiao handed over the space ring that Wu Gang had handed over with a lot of gold and silver treasures to Ling Tianhao. Ling Tianhao released some spiritual power and detected what was hidden inside the spatial ring.
"The Wu family, it's really bold. "The treasures hidden in the space ring are obviously pitiful, where is the attitude of admitting mistakes, it is clearly a delusional attempt to take the opportunity to delay again, obviously knowing that they are wrong and not changing.
If the Wu family is really like this at that time, then the Ling family may really have to think about it, and start to give the Wu family a little color to take a look at it, and remove the Wu family from Canglan City.
"I've worked hard for you today, Xiao'er. Ling Tianhao was very relieved that his son had really grown up, and he was not disappointed.
"Dad, this is what Xiao'er should be. If nothing happened, Xiao'er retired. ”
Ye Xiao knew that this matter was probably not trivial. Ling Tianhao asked Ling Fu to accompany him this time, obviously with another purpose. The matter is too big for me to participate in, so it is better to retire as soon as possible.
Ling Tianhao nodded, he really needed to think carefully about it and think about further plans.
"Now that he has come out, Brother Xiao wants to accompany Xue Yao to play on the street. promised Xue Yao last time, but the promise has never been fulfilled. This is not manly. ”
As soon as she heard that she could leave, Ling Xueyao immediately seized the opportunity and refused to let Ye Xiao go.
Being mentioned by her like this, Ye Xiao remembered that he seemed to have really agreed a few months ago, but later because of the arrival of the Canglan Sword Master, he was delayed until now. He had planned to recuperate tonight, but now he had to accompany Ling Xueyao to the street.
It's just that...... Thinking of the result, Ye Xiao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Ling Tianhao nodded in acquiescence, and then passed a word outward.
A moment later, two guards of the Ling family who came with them in civilian clothes walked in, Ling Tianhao was not angry and arrogant, and ordered the two of them: "You two, you must protect the safety of Young Master Xiao and Miss Xue Yao safely, if something goes wrong, then you are asking!"
"Yes, as the head of the house commands. How dare the two of them hesitate, they hurriedly obeyed the orders of the head of the family and wholeheartedly protected the safety of Ye Xiao and Ling Xueyao.
