Chapter 618: Invitation
"It's all up to you, you can do whatever you want, I will listen to you. Liu Zhan said, wrapping his arms around Xu Yan and tightening them again, sniffing the fragrant kiss of Xu Yan's hair with some fascination.
"Well, then I've been preparing for the past two days, and I'll take a good look at what the cake will be. ”
"Good. ”
Different from Liu Zhan's relaxation, the heads of the Meng family and the Ji family were amazed when they learned the news of Chen Shengda's death, but the Meng family was frightened, and the Ji family sighed.
Meng Kunting, the head of the Meng family in Kyoto, couldn't help but change his face when he heard the news of Chen Shengda's death, and immediately began to worry about how he would be able to gain a foothold in Kyoto in the future.
The living room was gloomy, and Meng Kunting was sitting in the center of the sofa, and the woman with an anxious and sad face next to him was Meng Kunting's wife Bai Xing, and sitting on both sides were Meng Kunting's eldest son Meng Ziyan and younger son Meng Zixing, and several people were sitting on the sofa looking at the head of the family, Meng Kunting.
"This Chen Shengda died suddenly, we don't know what the origin of this new Liu family master is, he can still protect us with this Chen Shengda before, but now, what should we do?" Bai Xing wiped her tears as she spoke, with a choked voice and a hint of crying, and looked at Meng Kunting with tears.
Bai Xing's gentle and shallow cry not only did not make Meng Kunting feel distressed, but also made Meng Kunting upset at this time. The originally irritable thoughts heard Bai Xing's cry at this time, and it became worse and worse, and there were signs of wanting to get angry.
"Okay, don't cry, crying is annoying!" Meng Kunting finally couldn't help it, and scolded Bai Xing loudly, "What I know is for the family, I don't know, I thought I was dead, you cried for me!
Bai Xing was so frightened by Meng Kunting's roar that she immediately held back, and she didn't dare to gasp, only sobbed quietly. It looks even more abrupt in the huge living room.
"Dad, what are you doing here, isn't Mom also for the sake of the family, why are you so fierce to her!" Meng Ziyan frowned and looked at the angry Meng Kunting, muttered a little complaint, and then quickly took out a few tissues and handed them to Bai Xing, wiping away the tears on Bai Xing's face for Bai Xing, "Mom, don't cry, Dad and I will find a way, don't worry!"
Meng Kunting could still listen to his eldest son's words, but at this time, he just glanced coldly at Bai Xing, who was cowering, and sat back on the sofa with a cold snort.
Bai Xing gradually stopped crying, and only the slightly wet eyelashes on her well-maintained face could tell that she had just cried. At this moment, except for the breathing of a few people and Bai Xing's occasional sobs, there was no other sound in the living room.
"Dad, we can't sit still like this, we must take the initiative!" Mencius thought about it again and again, but still stood up and said solemnly, "Since the new White Tiger Lord can kill Chen Shengda and exterminate the Chen family, it means that his forces and methods must be more ruthless than Chen Shengda, so we must not be enemies with him." ”
Meng Kunting couldn't have imagined Mencius's proposal, but wouldn't it be too abrupt to make friends with him rashly like this? Don't slap the horse's leg on the horse's leg!
"The four major families of Kyoto hold the statues of the four gods. The eldest Qinglong Commander Xu Hua, the city government is quite deep, and he is a good hand with ruthless means, but he never disdains to deal with us; the second White Tiger Commander Chen Shengda is ambitious, and we have always been good friends with him during his lifetime, so he has gained a foothold in the four major families in Kyoto, but he has now been killed; the fourth Xuanwu Commander Lord Ji Chen, honest and honest, has a rich family background, is the longest family among the four major families in Kyoto, and now has a history of hundreds of years, and he does not disdain to deal with us. ”
"So the only way for us now is to tie up with the new White Tiger Commander Liu Zhan, although this person is not well-known, but I think that I can kill Chen Shengda in this huge Kyoto and exterminate the entire Chen family, which shows how terrifying the forces behind this new family master are. Therefore, we must not be the enemy of Liu Zhan!"
Meng Kunting coughed twice when he said that he was excited, but soon, the little honest look on his face was gone, and greed and narrow-mindedness rolled in his eyes, as if he would burst out at any time.
Mencius Xing, who was also rolling greedily in his eyes, pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Since this is the case, then we might as well send an invitation letter to ask the new White Tiger Commander and the other three Lords to get to know each other,"
As soon as these words came out, Meng Kunting's eyes immediately lit up, and he kept nodding at Meng Zixing, his face flushed with excitement, and he couldn't say anything.
"Okay, okay, your method is very good, now follow your method to draft the invitation, remember, the wording must be subtle. Can't let people see that something is wrong!" Meng Kunting, who had been excited for a long time and didn't say anything, finally reluctantly pressed a little bit of overwhelmed joy, and immediately ordered Mencius to go and draw up an invitation.
Hearing this, Mencius also said, "Since this is the case, then I will arrange the meeting place in 'King's Landing', so as to show our atmosphere and leave a good impression on the new commander!"
"Okay, you brothers, go and do it, remember, this matter is related to whether our Meng family can gain a firm foothold among the four major families in Kyoto, you must do it beautifully, and there can be no mistakes!"
With these two sons giving advice, Meng Kunting swept away Fang Cai's unpleasantness, his smiling mouth couldn't be closed, and the folds on his happy face came out.
is also different from the excitement of the Meng family, when Ji Chen, the head of the Ji family, learned the news of Chen Shengda's death, he was still playing chess with Ji Jinye. When the news came, Ji Chen's hand holding the chess piece only paused slightly, and there was a flash of astonishment on his face, and then he returned to normal and continued to play chess with Ji Jinye.
Ji Chen's calmness made Ji Jinye not calm, and he no longer had the heart to play chess with Ji Chen, his face was full of anxiety, "Father, this head of the Chen family is dead, how could he die so easily so cunning and domineering?"
Hearing this, Ji Chen lightly put the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and then raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Jinye, "I know that he is dead, isn't it normal for people who do evil to die? ”
Ji Jinye suddenly didn't know what to say, Ji Jinye, who was bent on knowing the reason for Chen Shengda's death, was already absent-minded about the situation on the chessboard at this time, and the chess pieces in his hand were also played indiscriminately, and he didn't notice that if he took another step, he was forced to a dead end by Ji Chen.
Ji Chen looked at the situation on the chessboard, picked up a chess piece and landed on the chessboard, and the situation on the chessboard was also clear because of the fall of this chess piece.
"Jinye, you lost. Ji Chen threw the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box, looked at Ji Jinye, who was still distracted, and said lightly, "That Chen family has a big business, and today is him, Chen Shengda dug his own grave, and he can't complain about others." ”
"Originally, when the Chen family first took over the Du family and became the new White Tiger Commander, he Chen Shengda didn't know how majestic he was, and at that time he also knew what it meant to be low-key and what it meant to be restrained, but in recent years, he has spoiled Chen Chu too much, so that he has embarked on this road of no return. ”
"Each of the four major families in Kyoto is not a fuel-efficient lamp, our Ji family is used to keeping a low profile, and never gets involved with them, so we will talk about this matter after dinner, don't take it too seriously. ”
Ji Chen's words made Ji Jinye react violently, and remembered that in recent years, the Chen family's underground minions have been constantly putting pressure on the Ji family behind their backs.
Thinking of this, Ji Jinye chose to listen to Ji Chen's words, and no longer paid attention to the Chen family, nor did he care about the other families.
"Father, you take advantage of the danger of others!" Ji Jinye only noticed the situation on the chessboard after reacting, and couldn't help but say to Ji Chen with a pitiful face.
"Hahaha, who told you not to look at the chessboard, the most important thing in chess is to be distracted, if you lose, you will lose, you are willing to gamble and lose, and then honestly accept all matters in the company. Ji Chen's hearty laughter echoed throughout the room, making Ji Jinye even more depressed.
"Young Master Liu Zhan, someone outside the door wants to come to see you, saying that it is Mengzi of the Meng family who is here to hand over the invitation letter, please go to King's Landing to sit and talk together. Helen hurriedly came in from outside the door, found Liu Zhan and said.
Liu Zhan, who was informing Long Yi to let him check the information of the Meng family and the Ji family, immediately cheered up when he heard this. "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I just killed Chen Shengda today, and the Meng family immediately sent an invitation, it seems that the Meng family, who started as a nouveau riche, is really a person who understands how to climb the flames as Xu Hua said. ”
Thinking of this, Liu Zhan snorted coldly, "Please let them come in, let them wait downstairs, and say that I will be there soon." ”
Helen quickly left the study to invite someone in, Liu Zhan listened to the warm jade voice downstairs, and didn't think that the owner of this voice would be a person as cunning as a fox.
deliberately stayed upstairs for a while, and then Liu Zhan went downstairs to talk to Mencius, and sure enough, when he saw Mencius's weak appearance, Liu Zhan couldn't imagine that Mencius's city was quite deep.
"Mr. Meng, yes, I just sent someone to report it, but something has been delayed, so you have been waiting for a long time, please take a seat. Liu Zhan evoked a smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, but it was like a mask he was wearing.
A trace of astonishment quickly flashed in Mencius's eyes, he didn't expect Liu Zhan to be such a young man, but he soon returned to normal, "Mr. Liu is not very old, he looks like he is on par with me, and he will be a brother in the future. ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, then I will take advantage of you a little and be your brother. Liu Zhan saw the ambition and calculation in Mencius's eyes, but he didn't pierce Mencius's words, and followed his words, and then glanced at the invitation letter in Mencius's hand, and then asked, "I don't know what happened to Brother Meng today? Is it just to be a brother with me?"
