Chapter 412: Offensive and Defensive Alliance
A sentence without any pyrotechnics, it was as if the elders were joking with the juniors, and it didn't seem to have any weight, but when he heard the sound, Zhong Quan stopped.
Zhong Quan smiled coldly and said: "Guo Lao, what is your identity, of course I want to give your face, but although I, Zhong Quan, am soft-spoken, and I am nothing compared to everyone present, but I still want this face, I don't know who will give me face?"
Zhong Quan slapped the maid, not only did he fail to save face, but he was greatly damaged by the maid, and after waiting for such a long time, there was already a fire in his heart, even in the face of Guo Lao, he didn't speak very politely.
Guo Lao smiled, as if he didn't mind Zhong Quan's attitude very much, he entered the hall, clasped his fists with both hands, and said around: "The old man has just suffered the tragic pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired person, and he has been riddled with mundane things in recent days, and his body is slightly unwell, so you have been waiting for a long time, and you are guilty of sin." ”
"Guo Lao is polite. ”
"Yes, it's been an eventful time lately, so you've been bothered a lot, but you have to pay more attention to your body. ”
"Since Guo Lao is unwell, it is better to work less, if there is any trivial matter, even if he orders the people below to do it, there is no need to bow down to everything. ”
One after another, some people greeted Guo Lao and said, Guo Lao was polite, they were even more polite, speaking of which, aside from the status of the Guo family in the twelve families, Guo Lao's identity was enough to make them respect, how dare they really make Guo Lao apologize for being late.
"When you say this, it makes the old man embarrassed. Guo Lao Lian was ashamed and sat down on the main seat.
Guo Lao sat down, in the hall, only Zhong Quan was standing, if Guo Lao had not appeared, Zhong Quan would have left a long time ago, but partially, when he was about to leave, Guo Lao appeared, if it was someone else, he didn't have to pay attention, but in front of Guo Lao, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, for a while, he didn't stay, he didn't go, he stood alone in the middle of the hall, it was very conspicuous.
And it seems that all the people have ignored his existence, just let him stand there, no one has paid much attention to him, Zhong Quan hates and angers, he knows that Guo Lao did it on purpose, what he said just now was too heavy, which made Guo Lao displeased, but he was already losing face today, and if he wanted to give in to Guo Lao, he couldn't do it, otherwise, his old face would not be able to see people in the future.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time I invited you to come with a cheeky face, so what is the matter, it is written in the invitation letter, I won't say much here, I don't know what you think about this matter?" After sitting down, Guo Lao did not say anything politely, and said straight to the point.
"Guo Lao, my twelve families have always been in the same spirit, advancing and retreating together, and now the Zi family and other families are in trouble, it is impossible to sit idly by, this matter must be investigated, no matter who did it, it must be repaid with blood. Someone said right away.
It was Yao Zhongmin, the head of the Yao family, who spoke, compared to Zhong Quan's very difficult face at first glance, but this Yao Zhongmin looked a little sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, which was quite funny, and the righteousness of what he said was awe-inspiring, but the good words, when they came out of his mouth, the taste was a little strange.
Lin Xiaozhi, the head of the Lin family, also said: "I agree with the statement of the head of the Yao family, the other party wiped out the four families in one breath in silence, it can be said that he came prepared, and it must be an extremely large force." Moreover, no one knows whether they will stop there, otherwise, the next disaster, we don't know who will befall us, we can't be passively beaten, we must take the initiative to attack. ”
Lin Xiaozhi looks honest and dressed very plainly, and his daughter Lin Piaopiao are completely two extremes, simple like a diligent farmer who has worked hard all his life, but these words are also full of righteous indignation, his words may be a little alarmist, but everyone present is a twitch, because they know that Lin Xiaozhi's words may not be as simple as alarmism.
One is not good, and the next thing is that they are unlucky, but they don't know who the unlucky one will be for the time being, but no matter what, no one dares to get lucky.
"What the head of the Lin family said is right, my twelve families are not soft persimmons, there is no reason to take advantage of others at will and not react at all, we must take the initiative and not give them a chance to start. This time, it was Shui Baimei who spoke.
Shui Baimei is the only female head of the Twelve Cultivation Families, because of her gender, she rarely speaks when the Twelve Families hold conferences, but acts as a bystander.
But now that the crisis is spreading, Shui Baimei is very worried that it will be the turn of the Shui family next, so he must speak and make his position clear.
"I agree. ”
"Agreed. ”
"I agree. ”
Next, Jiang Zhu, the head of the Jiang family, Wei Ting, the head of the Wei family, and Xu Zhiping, the head of the Xu family, expressed their views on this matter, and they were all impassioned.
The only one who didn't speak was Zhong Quan, Zhong Quan didn't want to speak, but he stood there like a wooden stake, he really didn't know what to say, or he didn't know if he should speak, maybe he didn't speak, let everyone ignore him, in terms of feelings, he would feel better.
Guo Lao sighed and said: "What you all said is very reasonable, blood debt and blood are still certain, my twelve families have never allowed bullying by outsiders, no matter who the other party is, since the bullying has reached our heads, we must pay the price of blood." ”
After a pause, Guo Lao sighed again: "It's just that, that's what I said, but we are all confused about who the murderer is, and we can't use it if we have empty strength, so how easy is it to avenge our fellow disciples?"
"Guo Lao, even if this is the case, then you can't do nothing, can it be that we just sit back and wait for death?" Shui Baimei was anxious.
Guo Lao waved his hand and said: "The head of the Shui family doesn't have to be excited, what I mean by that is not to say that we don't do anything, let alone sit still, but to remind everyone that this trouble is not as simple as you think, you must come up with an effective charter, otherwise everyone will do their own thing, and I am afraid that before we can do anything, the twelve families will all be wiped out." ”
"Guo Lao, you are right, this matter really needs to be discussed and discussed, and a charter should be come up. Shui Baimei hurriedly said.
"Guo Lao said that, I think I have a plan?" Lin Xiaozhi asked.
Guo Lao said helplessly: "Where do I have any plans, I invited you to come this time, just thinking that there are many people and great power, everyone has their own ideas, maybe there will be something gained, no matter what, everyone brainstorming, it is much better than me a bad old man thinking blindly behind closed doors." ”
When everyone came here, they didn't think of this, and when they heard it, they all thought about it hard, and then they each said something about their suggestions.
Everyone was gossiping and discussing, either it was too difficult to implement, or the loophole was too big, and no one could convince anyone.
"Old man Guo, everyone, I have an idea, but I don't know whether to say it or not. Just when everyone was arguing, Yao Zhongmin cleared his throat, stood up and said loudly.
"Oh, if the head of the Yao family has any ideas, just say it, old man, I invited you to come, just let you speak, you can say anything, even if you want to scold me, a bad old man, it is said that everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, if you really want any ideas, just say it directly. Guo Lao scolded with a smile.
Yao Zhongmin's eyes rolled around, and he smiled: "Everyone, then I'll say it, if there is anything wrong with what you said, please don't blame me for talking too much." ”
"Brother Yao, why be polite, it's a good thing to have ideas, say it and let everyone hear it. Jiang Zhu, the head of the Jiang family, who didn't talk much, said.
"Then I'll say it, I really said it. Yao Zhongmin pretended to be polite, and when he saw that everyone's attention was attracted, he said: "Just now Mr. Guo said well, our few families are like a plate of loose sand with each other, it is inconvenient to do things, not to mention, and it is too easy to give the other party a chance to take advantage of, I was thinking, is it possible to form an alliance between families, and the alliances can communicate with each other, so that it will be much more convenient to do things? ”
"Our Twelve Cultivation Families are already a big alliance, so why bother to form an alliance again, I don't understand what you say. Wei Ting, the head of the Wei family, said.
"No, Brother Wei, you misunderstood, it seems that I didn't say it clearly enough, you didn't really understand what I meant, the alliance I am talking about is not that kind of broad alliance, but refers to our eight major families as one, regardless of each other, sharing weal and bene, and interests are evenly distributed, forming a real offensive and defensive alliance, and electing an alliance leader to take care of all the affairs of the major families. Yao Zhongmin added.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, although Yao Zhongmin still didn't say the whole thing too clearly, but Yao Zhongmin's meaning, they all understood.
"You mean, after the alliance was formed, my Xu family was gone, right?" Xu Zhiping said with a calm face.
"No, it's not gone, it's just that it's managed by the alliance, not only the Xu family, but other families. Of course, it also includes my Yao family. Speaking of this, Yao Zhongmin smiled and said, "I just said, if you accidentally say something that shouldn't be said, you will think that I am farting, don't take it to heart." ”
Yao Zhongmin said a lot, and the last sentence completely shirked the responsibility, with an attitude of wanting to put things out of the way, but thousands of waves were set off in everyone's hearts, you look at me, I look at you, and their faces are extremely solemn. T
