Chapter 705: White Gate Deliberations
The next evening, Luo Qianfan received a call from Ou Lao. I heard that Pei Zhi was going to convene the four hall masters to discuss the matter, and Ou Lao needed him to accompany him.
Luo Qianfan is naturally obligated to do such a thing, and being able to get the latest news from Baimen will benefit him a lot.
The venue of the banquet was set in a hotel, and as soon as Ou Lao and Luo Qianfan entered the door, they found that the hall on the first floor was full of people from the four halls.
"There were so many people here. Luo Qianfan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"It's normal that in such a tense situation, you can do it at any time. As he spoke, Ou Lao smiled slightly and waved his hand at the eight scorpions not far away.
When the eight scorpions saw Ou Lao, they hurriedly walked up to the two of them and shouted respectfully, "Ou Lao, Deputy Hall Master Luo, you are here." ”
"Hmm. Ou Lao nodded and asked, "What's inside?"
"Pei Zhi and the other three hall masters are on the fifth floor. The eight scorpions glanced left and right, and said, "The first floor to the fourth floor are all four people from the hall. ”
"How many of us are here?" asked Ou Lao.
"In order to prevent accidents, I brought most of the brothers from the Qinglong Hall here. There are also a lot of people from other halls, and it seems that the people who come are not good. The eight scorpions replied respectfully.
"Good job, Zhang Qi?" Ou Lao glanced around and asked.
Zhang Qi was afraid that there were ambushes at the other halls, so he went out to investigate. The eight scorpions' brows were tightly locked, and a solemn expression appeared on their faces: "Don't worry, no matter what, we will protect your safety." ”
"Let the brothers pay attention, don't drink too much, and if you find that the situation is not right, do it immediately. Ou Lao said with some unease.
"Yes!" the eight scorpions responded.
"Xiao Luo, follow me up to the fifth floor. After speaking, Ou Lao strode towards the elevator, followed by Luo Qianfan.
The two took the elevator to the fifth floor, and under the leadership of a young man, they came to the door of the private room.
"Click. Ou Lao took Luo Qianfan and pushed the door directly.
I saw that in the private room, Pei Zhi and the four hall masters, as well as Xiao Long, were already sitting in their seats. Ou Lao gave Luo Qianfan a look, and the two of them also took their seats.
"Ou Lao, you are late. Guo Yunfei looked at Ou Lao, and said in a weird manner: "Let us wait for you for so long." ”
Ou Lao smiled indifferently and said, "I'm sorry, I'm stuck in traffic, I'm late." ”
"Who is this?" Pei Zhi set his eyes on Luo Qianfan, he had never seen Luo Qianfan, so he naturally didn't know who this young man was.
"This is the deputy hall master of our Qinglong Hall, and his name is Luo Qianfan. Ou Lao smiled and said, "He is my most trusted subordinate. ”
Xiao Long looked at Luo Qianfan with a cold gaze, as if he was ready to make a move at any time. Seeing this, Aunt Mei on the side patted him on the spot, and said in his ear: "There are many people here, don't make trouble." ”
"I understand. Xiao Long bowed slightly, took a deep breath, and calmed the anger in his heart.
"Oh?" Pei Zhi looked at Luo Qianfan in surprise, and asked with some doubts: "You became the deputy hall master at a young age, what kind of ability do you have?"
"Pei Lao, I don't have any ability, it's just bold. Luo Qianfan leaned on the chair and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Bold?" Pei Zhi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "You are really an interesting young man." ”
"Aunt Mei and Ou Lao are really rude, on such an important occasion, they actually brought two young people over. Fan Yan said with some dissatisfaction: "I will never allow them, a group of stinky boys, to sit at the same table with me to eat." ”
In fact, Xiao Long came in to protect Aunt Mei's safety. Aunt Mei is a defenseless old lady, and if something happens, Suzaku Hall will be in chaos.
"If you don't want to eat with me, you can get out. Luo Qianfan's lazy voice came into everyone's ears.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, including Ou Lao, who didn't expect Luo Qianfan to dare to say this.
Xiao Long touched his nose and muttered to himself: "Luo Qianfan, Luo Qianfan, it's been so long, you really haven't changed at all." ”
"Bang!" Fan Yan slapped the table, got up suddenly, glared at Luo Qianfan, and asked word by word, "What did you say?"
"Are you deaf?" Luo Qianfan licked the corners of his mouth, squinted his eyes and said, "Lao Tzu told you to get out!"
"Look for death!" Fan Yan just wanted to pull out his gun, but he didn't hear Pei Zhi's voice: "Old Fan, don't be impulsive." What are you talking about with young people?"
Fan Yanqi's body trembled, and he scolded: "Old Pei, he has no elders, he really lacks discipline!"
"What, do you want to discipline my person?" Ou Lao was immediately unhappy, sat down on the chair calmly, and said, "Fan Yan, please make your position clear." My people, it's not your turn to take care of it!"
Luo Qianfan looked at Fan Yan with a smile, he knew very well in his heart that only by talking crazy enough here would he not be looked down upon. If you let someone else ride on your head, then you won't have to stand on your own feet in the future.
"That's enough, don't say a few words, don't make trouble here!" Aunt Mei suddenly said: "Everyone can finally sit together and talk, don't hurt the peace." ”
"Old woman Mei, he said this about me, do I still have to endure it?" Fan Yan glanced at Aunt Mei and asked.
"It's you who don't have a door on your lips, whether it's Luo Qianfan or Xiao Long, they are the leaders of the younger generation of Baimen. What's wrong with taking them to see the world?" Aunt Mei couldn't help but mock when she heard this: "Since there is no one in your White Tiger Hall, don't come out and be embarrassed!"
"You ......" Fan Yan's fists clenched, and he immediately took care of Pei Zhi's face and sat down slowly.
Pei Zhi didn't speak, just looked at Luo Qianfan calmly.
He had the feeling that this young man in front of him was terrifying!
"Luo Qianfan, I remember you. Pei Zhi said lightly: "You really didn't lie to me, you are really bold." ”
"I never lie. Luo Qianfan looked at Fan Yan and said, "I don't like to cause trouble, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of things." Whoever dares to bully me on the head, I will make him regret it. ”
"Okay, have the courage!" Pei Zhi couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Crazy enough, I think the young master was so crazy at the beginning, so there is the current white door!
"Thank you Pei Lao for your appreciation. Luo Qianfan responded lightly.
Seeing this, Pei Zhi secretly commented: He is not shocked by the humiliation, he is a character.
"Actually, I called you here today to talk about the infighting in the White Gate. Pei Zhi's hands were crossed with ten fingers, a complicated expression appeared on his face, and his tone was very helpless: "The young master was framed and put in prison." I thought that Hakumon would be more united and face difficulties together. ”
Hearing this, disdainful smiles appeared on the faces of the four hall masters.
"But what I never expected was that instead of uniting, Baimen was torn apart!" Speaking of this, Pei Zhi's face became more and more ugly, and his tone became sharper: "I really didn't expect that your ambitions are so big! Everyone wants to be the master of the door, look at how many brothers in the four halls have suffered misfortune for your ambition!"
Because of the civil war, the four halls lost a lot of disciples. It can be said that there is no winner in this infighting, and every hall has paid a lot of price.
"Actually, you can't say that, after all, the young master is gone, the white door can't be left without an owner for a day, someone must come out to preside over the overall situation!" At this time, Guo Yunfei said lightly.
"Is there anything you can't sit down and discuss? Is it necessary to use force to solve the problem? Are these taught to you by the young master?" Facing Pei Zhi's series of questions, Guo Yunfei touched his nose and didn't know how to refute.
"I really don't understand, why did the young master choose a few of you to be the hall masters! When the White Gate was in the most crisis, you actually chose infighting!" Pei Zhi's emotions seemed to be a little excited, his eyes were full of red bloodshots, and he said, "The old man is cold!"
"Actually, there is no need to say such righteous words, everyone is ambitious, what's wrong with wanting to be the master?" Fan Yan asked disdainfully: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." I would like to ask, who of you here is willing to send someone under the fence?"
"I think everyone has seen that everyone involved in this infighting has ambitions. Fan Yan said vigorously: "I don't deny it, I also have ambitions, I want to be the head of the door." ”
It's already a showdown anyway, and there's nothing to hide. Fan Yan confessed directly, but he also spoke everyone's minds.
Yes, who wants to be the hall master for a lifetime? The advantage of being the head of the door is that now that the young master is gone, who doesn't want to try it?
Man's desires are greedy and cannot be satisfied. Although these hall masters look superficial, they don't feel good under the fence, and everyone wants to climb up.
"You are unjust!" Pei Zhi pointed and said coldly: "Young Master's White Gate, why do you want to be the master of the door?"
"Who said it was his White Gate?" Fan Yan shouted angrily: "Could it be that the White Gate can have today, and the four of us don't have any credit? Could it be that all this in front of you was created by Bai Luoqing alone?"
"Pei Zhi, wake up! Don't be a dog for him anymore, he asked you to return to Baimen to stabilize the situation for him, nothing more than to continue to control Baimen, in my opinion, he is the most greedy!" Fan Yan became more and more excited the more he spoke, and his tone became more and more crazy: "You reprimanded us with righteous words and words, and came back to take over Baimen, do you think we can be convinced? Baimen is everyone's, the door master is gone, we should elect a new door master!"
"The hall masters must maintain a friendly relationship with each other, and they must not turn against each other, and the entire white door must obey the words of the door master. This is the rule of the White Gate, Fan Yan, have you forgotten?" Pei Zhi asked word by word.
"That's not the rules of Baimen, that's the rules of Bai Luoqing!" Fan Yan said coldly: "The rules are set by people, and now that he is in prison, it is impossible for him to come out again." Why do you want to use his rules to bind us? Is that fair to us?"
"Strong words, unreasonable!" Pei Zhi squinted his eyes and said, "Thinking of people like you, you are simply a pest of the White Gate!"
