Chapter 740: The Big Picture Is Decided
Late at night, Ou Lao tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart. Pei Zhi controls the power of the White Gate, and although the Qinglong Hall has Luo Qianfan, it is still in danger.
Ou Lao sighed, slowly got up and turned on the lamp beside him, and sat on the bed alone. He didn't know what to do next, and he couldn't do anything in the face of the pressure of the mountain.
He got the news that Aunt Mei had returned to Suzaku Hall. But he knew very well in his heart that this would not change anything. Although the strength of Suzaku Hall is very strong, it is still a lot worse than Kirin Hall.
Even if Qinglong Hall and Vermilion Bird Hall join forces, there may still be no good ending. Ou Lao is not a fool, he sees the situation in front of him very clearly.
As if he had made a decision, he picked up the mobile phone next to the pillow and dialed Pei Zhi.
It may be too late, and the first call was not answered. Ou Lao dialed again, and the other party connected the phone.
"Hey, who's who?" a confused voice came over the phone.
"Pei Zhi, it's me. Ou Lao said in a deep voice.
Hearing Ou Lao's voice, Pei Zhi suddenly sobered up a lot, and asked lazily: "It turned out to be Ou Lao! Why are you calling me if you don't sleep this big night?"
The corners of Ou Lao's mouth turned up, and he responded: "I want to talk to you." ”
"Ahem...... What is there to talk about?" Pei Zhi coughed lightly twice and said, "It's a big deal." ”
"I don't want to be ruined, that's why I'm calling you. Ou Lao said what he thought in his heart.
"Oh?" Pei Zhi asked in surprise, "What do you mean by calling me?"
"I can admit that you are the master of the door. Ou Lao said in a surprising voice.
Hearing this, Pei Zhi felt a little surprised, but his voice was still gentle and asked, "Have you changed your mind?"
"I'm just trying to protect myself, and my men still need to eat. If the white door does not end the infighting, everyone will not be able to make money. Ou Lao found a reasonable step for himself and said, "I don't want to get involved in these battles anymore. ”
Pei Zhi seemed to guess Ou Lao's heart, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then talk about your conditions." I don't believe you will surrender unconditionally. ”
"I need to keep the position of the hall master of the Blue Dragon Hall. Ou Lao didn't talk nonsense, and said what he thought in his heart bluntly.
"No way. Pei Zhi directly rejected Ou Lao's condition. He is not a fool, so naturally it is impossible to leave himself with a big threat. Although Ou Laofu softened, Pei Zhi didn't think he was a paper tiger.
"Why?" Ou Lao asked suspiciously, "I only have such a small request, can't you even agree?"
"Ou Lao, you are a wolf, you are ambitious!" Pei Zhi smiled and said: "Once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years! I am afraid that you will do it to me one day." ”
"Since I agree with you to be the master of the door, I won't go back on my word!" Ou Lao said in a deep voice: "This civil war in Baimen has made you lose your ambitions. ”
"With your words, you want to keep the position of the hall master. Ou Lao, your face is too big, isn't it?" Pei Zhi said calmly: "I can only feel at ease if I replace the four hall masters with my own people. I can't rest assured that you continue to be the hall master of the Blue Dragon Hall!"
"Pei Zhi, don't kill people too much. You do have the ability to destroy the Qinglong Hall, but let me tell you, you won't have a good result if the fish dies and the net is broken!" Ou Lao said in a deep voice: "You should know that Aunt Mei has returned to the Vermilion Bird Hall, and she has called me to discuss the matter of dealing with you together." If the two of us give it our all, then you're going to die ugly too!"
"This ......" Pei Zhi hesitated, although he was sure to eat the Qinglong Hall and the Vermilion Bird Hall, but in that case, he would also lose his troops.
"You think about it, if you don't accept my conditions, then I will fight to the death!" Ou Lao snorted angrily: "If you don't believe it, you can give it a try!"
"Since you have said so, then I promise you the conditions. Hearing this, Pei Zhi thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind and chose to agree to Ou Lao's conditions.
"Good. Ou Lao bowed slightly, and his face showed a touch of relief.
"Ou Lao, you are also the patriarch of the White Gate. Pei Zhi said earnestly: "For the sake of your previous contributions to the White Gate, I can keep your position." But you have to obey the rules of the door, and you can't be a traitor. ”
"Okay, okay, I got it. Ou Lao didn't give Pei Zhi the slightest step, and said disdainfully: "There is no need to say those scenes in private, from today onwards, I am willing to follow you." ”
"It's enough to have your words. Pei Zhi's tone was a little more excited. Ou Lao's willingness to surrender is very good news for him.
As long as Ou Lao surrenders, Aunt Mei alone will not be able to make any waves. Pei Zhi's unification of the White Gate is just around the corner!
"I hope you can spare Aunt Mei a way out. Ou Lao suddenly spoke.
"Why?" asked Pei Zhi suspiciously.
"After all these years of relationship, I can't bear to watch her die. Ou Lao sighed and said helplessly: "And if she dies, the people of Suzaku Hall will be panicked, which is not a good thing for you." ”
"Ou Lao, you are too kind. Don't you know Aunt Mei yet? Who is she, the young master was full of praise for her at the beginning. Pei Zhi said helplessly: "Leaving her a way to live is equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain." ”
"Do you really want to be so ruthless?" Ou Lao asked with a frown.
Pei Zhi said slowly: "If she can let go of everything, I can spare her from dying." ”
"Leave this matter to me!" I tried to persuade her. Ou Lao said calmly.
"Can you persuade her?" Pei Zhi suddenly became interested and asked.
"I thought I could give it a try. Ou Lao said slowly.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Pei Zhi said with a smile: "I think you can convince Aunt Mei!"
"Hmm. Ou Lao nodded, and then said: "It's not too early, you go and rest! Give me a day." ”
"Good night. After speaking, Pei Zhi hung up the phone.
Ou Lao smiled bitterly and looked at his phone, with a complicated look on his face. He didn't know if he was right or wrong to do this, but now that he had made his decision, there was no way to change it.
Subsequently, Ou Lao sent a text message to Luo Qianfan. Tell me about tonight......
So much happened this night. Many people stayed up all night, and Luo Qianfan was the same, when he knew that Ou Lao had surrendered, he had an unprecedented sense of crisis......
At noon the next day, Ou Lao invited Aunt Mei to his villa.
Aunt Mei sat on the sofa, looked at Ou Lao opposite, and asked in a calm tone, "What did you call me here for?"
Ou Lao poured tea for himself and Aunt Mei, and said earnestly, "I'm here to persuade you." ”
"Persuade me?" Aunt Mei's eyes showed surprise, she took a sip of tea and asked, "What do you persuade me to do?"
Ou Lao took a deep breath and reluctantly spit out four words: "I advise you to surrender." ”
"Huh?" Hearing Ou Lao's words, Aunt Mei was stunned, she didn't expect Ou Lao to persuade her to surrender.
"What do you mean by that?" Aunt Mei took a sip of tea, raised her eyes slightly and asked, "Are you kidding me?"
"No, I'm serious!" Ou Lao said in a firm tone: "I don't want to let Baimen fight anymore!"
"Smack!" As soon as the words fell, Aunt Mei slammed the teacup in her hand to the ground. Ou Lao didn't dare to raise his head in the face of Aunt Mei's anger.
"You mean, let me give in?" Aunt May asked, word for word.
"Aunt Mei, can't you see the situation yet? The overall situation has been decided, and we have all lost!" Ou Lao said in a deep voice: "If the White Gate continues to fight, then everyone will have nothing!"
"You surrendered?" Aunt Mei asked, glancing at Ou Lao.
"Hmm......" Ou Lao didn't hide it, nodded and responded.
"In other words, you have now become Pei Zhi's dog. Aunt Mei's face instantly turned cold. Immediately, from the small bag he was carrying, he took out a small silver pistol and aimed it at Ou Lao.
"Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!" Aunt Mei asked through gritted teeth.
"Don't be impulsive. Ou Lao said calmly: "I hope you can give me a chance to explain." ”
"Say it!" Aunt Mei squinted and said, "Give me a reason not to kill you." ”
"I'm talking to you today for your safety. Ou Lao said word by word: "Can't you see it? We can't be Pei Zhi's opponent at all! No matter what, the result is the same." ”
"Shi Ke can't be killed!" Aunt Mei sneered and said, "Even if I surrender, Pei Zhi will not let me go." ”
"Don't worry, I've already told Pei Zhi. As long as you agree with him to be the master, he will never embarrass you. Ou Lao patted his chest and promised: "I guarantee with my personality." ”
"How much is your personality worth?" Aunt Mei said coldly: "Ou Lao, I am different from you, if you lose, you can choose to be Pei Zhi's dog." If I lose, there is only one way to die, and he will not let me go!"
"If you believe me this time, I won't hurt you!" Ou Lao said, "Really, I swear!"
Looking at Ou Lao's serious expression, Aunt Mei was silent for a while, and then put down the gun.
She knew that Ou Lao defected to Pei Zhi, and her chances of winning were getting smaller and smaller.
"Listen to my advice, and you're almost done. Ou Lao looked at Aunt Mei and said slowly.
"Can you guarantee my life?" asked Aunt Mei a little dejectedly.
She - there is no choice!
She could grit her teeth and hold on to the end, but her brothers couldn't! She couldn't joke with the lives of her men.
"Yes!" Ou Lao said seriously: "But you can't keep the position of the hall master of the Vermilion Bird Hall. You must surrender all the rights in your hands so that I can keep you. ”
Aunt Mei gritted her teeth, her old face showed a touch of helplessness, and she bowed slightly: "Yes, there is no choice anyway." ”
