85. Allies (4)
"As I said, I can't get out of it for the time being, I can't help myself. However, that doesn't mean I'm going to choose to participate because I can't help it. What's more, if I am a 'meticulous work', not really participating in it is the wisest way to protect myself, right?!!Besides, if the Gao family knows and believes that I have indeed infiltrated the An family to do 'meticulous work', then they will naturally be able to 'understand' my practice of protecting myself and staying out of the matter! Perhaps, for their own interests, they will even support me very much in doing so! In addition, ......"
Speaking of this, Gao Ran suddenly glanced at An Lu with a deep meaning, and hinted with a light smile, "I think, for the An family, if I can stay out of the matter, it will not be a good thing for you!"
Seeing that An Lu frowned slightly after hearing this, Gao Ran lost no time in making persistent efforts, "Hehe, I'm not boasting...... Although with my current strength, I may not be able to really pose any major threat to the An family for the time being...... However, if Mr. An is willing to investigate me a little, I am sure that you will not underestimate me too much! I dare say that if not now, I will definitely become a great 'threat' in the near future! Of course, provided that I am unfortunately an enemy of the An family by then...... So, if you can become an 'ally' now, why do you have to provoke one more 'enemy' for yourself?! Mr. An is a smart man, I think you must understand what I'm talking about......
Although Gao Ran's words were quite tactful, her meaning was already obvious: if the An family did not plan to form an alliance with her at this moment, then she would probably choose to be the enemy of the An family for her own interests in the near future, as she herself said!
"Heh, Miss said this, aren't you afraid that I will strike first, so that you will not be able to leave the An family today?!"
Hearing An Lu say this, Gao Ran couldn't help laughing.
"Heh, Mr. An, do you think I will be so stupid that I will come to negotiate with you rashly without the slightest preparation in advance?! It is true that even if your An family really has the ability to defeat the martial arts, you can forcibly leave us behind...... However, you are not afraid that you will do this, but it will leave more troubles for you to settle down, and you will lose more than you gain?!"
"What do you mean?!"
Indeed, just like Gao Ran said, An Lu didn't think she would be the kind of stupid person who acted rashly without any prior preparation, but it was still inevitable that she was a little surprised that she had such a careful mind at such a young age?!
Although she didn't underestimate Gao Ran in her heart, An Lu was still inevitably a little curious: at such a young age, how far can she be calculated? !
Therefore, An Lu's previous warning was not so much a "threat" as a temptation - what kind of hole cards did she want to poke out from Gao Ran's mouth, so that she could sit opposite her with such confidence as she is now and negotiate with her about the "alliance"?!
And Gao Ran naturally understood the true intention of An Lu's words.
However, this is also good, she can also follow the "ladder" that An Lu has built for her, and logically take this opportunity to make it clear to her some things that she originally wanted her to know, and what she wants to know now! It also saves unnecessary suspicion for each other's future cooperation - since they want to form an alliance, the most taboo thing is the lack of the most basic trust in each other's "allies".
"Chief Manager An, I'll tell you clearly! Xi beside me, he is the fourth killer in the Heavenly Pavilion, and one of the most powerful personal guards of the Heavenly Pavilion Lord Qiu Yueze. Originally, such guards had always only obeyed Qiu Yueze himself in the Heavenly Pavilion, and even Qiu Yueze's personal token, which could have sent almost all the forces in the Heavenly Pavilion at will, could not send them. But now, Qiu Yueze has assigned him to protect me closely, and let him obey me...... You know, what does that mean?!"
After hearing this, An Lu frowned slightly, and immediately glanced at Gao Xi with some vigilance and confirmation.
Gao Xi, on the other hand, immediately reflexively met An Lu's gaze at him, but he only glanced at her, and then looked away very casually, and moved his gaze back to Gao Ran's body again.
With her lifelong experience in seeing people, even if it was just a glance, she could easily judge from the completely different eyes when Gao Xi looked at her and Gao Ran respectively that Gao Xi was definitely a person with his own principles: he would not hide his concern for what he cared about, and he didn't even bother to look at what he didn't care about - no matter how powerful and statusful the other party was.
And behind his character, there must be a strong enough force to support him, which allows him to carry out this principle of his own so "arrogantly" to the end - just from the humble and non-arrogant momentum that he faintly exuded from the moment he entered the door, which was completely different from ordinary guards, to the instantaneous change in his attitude after Gao Ran revealed his true identity, and then to this moment, he still did not take An Lu in his eyes...... And from beginning to end, his eyes were always full of faint vigilance and a faint murderous aura......
Although on the surface, An Lu has never paid too much deliberate attention to Gao Xi, but she is very concerned about his every move in her heart!
With the experience she has accumulated over the years of various overt and covert contacts with Tiange, even if she has not specifically investigated, but just based on her observation and analysis of Gao Xi in the short period of time just now, she can basically be sure: Gao Ran is not lying, Gao Xi is indeed a person from Tiange, and his status is not low!
It was precisely because she firmly believed in her own judgment that when Gao Ran bluntly pointed out that her relationship with Qiu Yueze, the master of the Heavenly Pavilion Pavilion, was extraordinary, and even good enough to be able to use Qiu Yueze's personal guards, An Lu immediately became unabashedly vigilant against the two people in front of her!
Indeed, as Gao Ran said, An Lu naturally knows what the "meaning" she means by her words is what it means?!
It means that the relationship between Gao Ran and Qiu Yueze, the master of the Heavenly Pavilion, must be very close! Her status in the Heavenly Pavilion may even be second only to Qiu Yueze! It may even be the personal token of the Heavenly Pavilion Lord, the black jade that everyone in the world is eager to see. Over time, the people of the rivers and lakes will call it "black jade") - the role may not be as good as her little girl!
Thinking about it like this, An Lu also understood what Gao Ran wanted to hint at her: if she dared to embarrass her at this moment, then the An family had better be prepared to be investigated by Tiange afterwards!
According to An Lu's understanding of Tiange's always acting style, once Qiu Yueze decides to investigate to the end, I am afraid that there is only one result - the object of the investigation will definitely be cut down and completely disappeared from this world!
Tiange's ruthlessness and cruelty are known to the whole world! Although An Lu is still uncertain about Gao Ran's weight in Qiu Yueze's mind for the time being, she still doesn't dare to take this risk easily - after all, the price she may have to pay is indeed too great!
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to say it...... Actually, before I came here, I had already visited the Fu family. Moreover, I have already agreed to the invitation of the head of the Fu family, and I will move to the Fu Mansion tonight to live temporarily - until I leave Qingli Town. ”
Gao Ran said it lightly, but An Lu couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard it!
Although An Lu had already known that the Gao and Fu families were interested in forming an alliance, and the information she had just gotten a few days ago also said that Gao Qi, the eldest lady of the Gao family, had arrived in Qingli Town a few days ago and had moved into the Fu Mansion......
But I didn't expect that this sophomore lady had also come to Qingli Town, and she had even met with Fu Tong, the head of the Fu family!
Although the Fu family's power is far inferior to that of Tiange, for the An family, it is also easy not to offend!
It seems that Gao Ran must not have an accident in Anfu! Otherwise, it will definitely cause a lot of troubles to the An family, and even cause a disaster to the An family!
If so, the price would be too great!
It's not worth it!
An Lu had to admit that although she didn't know what kind of means Gao Ran used to have such two good hole cards, she believed that what Gao Ran said was absolutely true, and she must have been extremely valued by Qiu Yueze and Fu Tong as she hinted!
Even though such a thing happened to a little girl who was only less than six years old, this really surprised An Lu!
However, after such contact with Gao Ran, she felt that as long as the object was Gao Ran, it seemed to be reasonable-not to mention, what kind of interest relationship existed between Gao Ran and Qiu Yueze? Just the interest relationship between her and Fu Tong, if An Lu was Fu Tong, after she had seen Gao Ran and contacted her with her own eyes, An Lu felt that if she was Fu Tong, she should also value her as much as Fu Tong!
Therefore, even if he has not yet verified the correctness of his conjecture, An Lu has already believed that the weight of Gao Ran's two hole cards must be real, and there is no half-truth!
In this way, even if it was just a false move before, now, she didn't dare to move Gao Ran easily!
"Hahahaha......"
After knowing the stakes in this, An Lu couldn't help laughing out loud!
"Sure enough, it's terrifying! Compared with you, my Yu'er is still a little worse!"
An Lu's seemingly unintentional emotion made Gao Ran keenly hear the meaning of her words-she had already acquiesced to each other's alliance! Otherwise, how could she put her and An Yujie together for no reason, and use the tone of the elders to ridicule the younger generations to make such a painless comparison? ! )
