Chapter 403: A Gamble
Hutchison Tea House has been operating in Hong Kong for more than 70 years, although it is a bit exaggerated to claim to be a century-old brand, but the frequent guests do not care about these boasts, to be honest, the taste of dim sum in Hutchison Tea House is average, especially in today's era when there are countless magical seasonings, and the Hutchison Tea House that insists on using the ancient pharaonic recipe has fallen behind in terms of taste experience. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the old neighbors who come to Hutchison to cheer have been passed down from generation to generation, and under the word-of-mouth, they can also attract a lot of gourmets.
This morning, Xu Xingkong also sat in this teahouse with a somewhat outdated decoration, the square table was by the window, and Xu Xingkong sat on the path opposite, but others couldn't see her, and Ye Yaoxin sat on the aisle, in the eyes of others, there were only Xu Xingkong and Ye Yaoxin on the seat, and the seat distribution of these two people was a little weird.
Ye Yaoxin had a charming and elegant smile on her face, but the object of her gaze was Xiaolu, in fact, she also wanted to see Xu Xingkong, to be honest, Ye Yaoxin's perception of Xu Xingkong was indeed very good, and the tradition of the demon clan was to worship the strong, plus Xu Xingkong saved Ye Yaoxin's life, it is not too much to say that Ye Yaoxin had some wrong thoughts about Xu Xingkong.
It's just that Ye Yaoxin's thoughts about Xu Xingkong must not be revealed, she doesn't dare to compete with Lin Xiaofeng for a man, Lin Xiaofeng is not an ordinary woman, but a person in power who can decide the life and death of Ye Yaoxin and even the Ye family's family with one word, so even if Ye Yaoxin has any thoughts about Xu Xingkong, she doesn't dare to show the slightest.
But Xiaolu is different, Xiaolu doesn't hide Xu Xingkong's thoughts and books, this is because Xiaolu and Xu Xingkong knew each other earlier, seriously speaking, Lin Xiaofeng is a latecomer, and more importantly, Xiaolu is Xu Xingkong's parasitic ghost, and Xu Xingkong is fundamentally one, for Xu Xingkong, Xiaolu is a completely life-threatening existence.
So even if Lin Xiaofeng is jealous of Xiaolu in her heart, there is still no way to take Xiaolu, of course, what Lin Xiaofeng thinks about Xiaolu in her heart is not something that Ye Yaoxin can guess, and she doesn't dare to guess, but Ye Yaoxin's envy of Xiaolu can't be suppressed at all.
At this moment, Xiao Lu was holding an ice cream cone she had made herself, stretching out her red little tongue and licking it for a while, although her eyes did not look at Xu Xingkong, the sly smile on the corner of her mouth betrayed her thoughts.
Of course, Xu Xingkong knew that Xiao Lu was tempting him, in fact, he looked at Xiao Lu's charming appearance, and his heart was also hot, but Xiao Lu was more like a sister in his heart, and now, he is a very attractive sister, of course, Xu Xingkong will never admit that he has a tendency to control his sister.
Xu Xingkong took a sip of tea and suppressed a trace of thought in his heart, pursed his lips angrily, looked sideways at Ye Yaoxin and said:
"How's it going?"
Ye Yaoxin quickly turned her gaze back to Xu Xingkong's face and replied softly:
"Before dawn, they have demolished the church complex, and completed the main node setting of the demon ruins under the square, and the transformation of important nodes in the urban area has also been preliminarily completed, it is estimated that the entire transformation process can be completed within a month, and now there are Su seniors are sitting in the center, and several southern members of the committee have arrived in Xiangjiang this morning, and it is estimated that they will discuss with Su seniors today. β
Xu Xingkong heaved and said:
"Sure enough, it was already arranged. β
Ye Yao's heart wrinkled her good-looking willow eyebrows, and she glanced at Xu Xingkong deeply and said:
"Elder Xu..."
Xu Xingkong frowned when he heard this, and glanced at Ye Yaoxin dissatisfiedly, Ye Yaoxin was not only not afraid, but a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he quickly changed his words:
"Xingkong, I'm a little strange, it is said that this kind of arrangement cannot be completed in a short time, not to mention that they still have to act under the nose of the church, which requires more time and patience, you said that they have already arranged, how could they have known that our Yushan Yuzhai would have today's situation? If it weren't for you, Yushan Yuzhai would not have been able to complete complete control of Pengcheng in such a short period of time, and still have the strength to expand to the surrounding areas. β
Xu Xingkong smiled inexplicably, a solemn look flashed in his eyes, and he slowly spoke:
"You forgot that Su Jin'er is the leader of the Sky Fox clan, Sky Fox!"
"You mean... She foresaw everything?"
Xu Xingkong shook his head and looked at the path opposite, and the path smiled knowingly:
"How can it be possible to foresee everything? I have collected a lot of information about the demon clan of Tianzihao, and after careful study, I also have some opinions on the Tianhu clan, Yaoxin, your opinion is because of the oversuperstition of the Tianhu clan, of course, the Tianhu clan is very powerful, but what they can foresee should only be some important nodes and trends, and it is impossible to foresee everything, in other words, Su Jin'er will never foresee the sudden appearance of the sky. β
Ye Yao thought carefully about what she said, and felt that Xiao Lu's statement should be credible, maybe she was really frightened by the powerful prestige that the Tianzi clan had spread for thousands of years, and some of the abilities of the Tianhu clan were deified.
In fact, this can be seen from Ye Yaoxin and Xiaolu's name for Su Jin'er, Xiaolu directly called Su Jin'er's name, of course, it was influenced by Xu Xingkong, but Xiaolu entered the cultivation circle for a short time, and he was not overly in awe of the authority of this circle, coupled with Xu Xingkong's own rapid progress, he could not experience the difficulty of cultivation, which made Xiaolu have a subconscious contempt for the rumors and history of various strong people and strong families in the cultivation circle, and felt that those rumors were a bit exaggeratedγ
In this state of mind that is not afraid of authority, Xiao Lu's analysis of information is more objective, although his views are a little bold, but Ye Yaoxin has to admit that in this regard, Xiao Lu's eyes are sharper than those who are restricted by rules and regulations.
Ye Yao nodded convincingly, and deduced from the logic of the path:
"So, Senior Yousu just prepared for possible trends and changes, and immediately started Xiangjiang's strategy plan when Xingkong and Xiaofeng rose?"
The trail replied affirmatively:
"Well, I also see it this way, judging from the situation you just summarized Yaoxin, their preparations have been going on for a long time, and their preparations are not only these, but also include personnel aspects, maybe this aspect is more important than they can complete the demon ruins in a short time. β
Xu Xingkong smiled and gently patted his palms and said:
"Yes, Xiaolu should have grasped the key, people are more important than territory, and Su Jin'er, an old-timer, must have more personal experience of this than us. β
Ye Yao nodded in her heart, and then suddenly looked at Xu Xingkong with understanding:
"Xiao Feng invited the family forces of Xiangjiang to go north to Pengcheng today to discuss the affairs of Xiangjiang, is it to cooperate with Yousu's predecessors?"
Xiao Lu pursed his lips and smiled, while Xu Xingkong nodded and said:
"Yes, look. β
Xu Xingkong gently raised his chin to the window, on the top of the building opposite the window, there is a huge billboard, on which there is a silhouette of a beautiful woman in ancient costume, she is holding a guqin, looking at a bright moon at the junction of the sea and sky, and the face is an ethereal fairy spirit, this beauty who only shows half of her face Xu Xingkong has seen, she is an internationally famous musician, singer, and the piano is strange.
Ye Yaoxin looked at the huge advertising painting, and then her eyes moved to the bottom line, which was written on the date of the performance, a month later.
"I see!"
Ye Yao said suddenly, Yan Zheng's performance happened to be the time when the demon ruins were completed, with the help of this performance, Su Jin'er conveyed a message to everyone, a month later, Xiangjiang will completely become Su Jin'er's territory, and the Quartet is welcome to come to watch, and this month is the most vulnerable month for Su Jin'er, and those who have thoughts about Xiangjiang had better hurry up and do it within this month.
Of course, Su Jin'er is not a stupid person, on the contrary, all the guys who think she is a stupid person have become the soul of her sword, and her subtle provocation with the help of Yan Zheng Gong this time will make the conspirators who are interested in Xiangjiang suspicious.
On the one hand, the old forces of Xiangjiang were cleaned up with great fanfare, and on the other hand, the big forces in the interior were instigated to go south to Xiangjiang, and now the situation in Xiangjiang looks extremely complicated, this kind of situation that makes people unclear about the reality is like a whirlpool hidden in the fog of war.
If you are afraid of this, and want to wait until the chaos in Xiangjiang subsides and the situation is clarified before taking action, I am afraid that the entire Xiangjiang will already fall into the hands of Su Jin'er, and the daylily will be cold by then.
To put it bluntly, this Xiangjiang situation is a gamble set up by Su Jin'er and Yushan Yuzhai, and if you want to end it as soon as possible, but the sooner you go, the greater the risk, you may be able to make a lot of money, or you may lose your family, and if you are timid and late, you may not even be able to drink soup.
Seeing that Ye Yao's heart was clear, Xu Xingkong smiled and said:
"We're pretty much done, all that's left is to watch the show, Yaoxin, let your people remember, put your own safety first, forget if you can't get the information or anything, don't take risks, people with Su Jin'er are not good men and women, and people in Xiangjiang and the church will not just be so desperate, if you stick yourself in at this time, it will be too worthless." β
Ye Yao glanced at Xu Xingkong warmly, nodded respectfully:
"I know, then will you go back to Pengcheng today?"
"Well, I'll go back in a while, but you want others to think that I'm still in Xiangjiang, give me half a day to come out. β
Although Ye Yaoxin didn't know what Xu Xingkong was planning to do, she didn't plan to ask, but nodded very firmly and said:
"Got it. β
Xu Xingkong nodded and smiled:
"If you go shopping with 'me' for a while, you have always been by 'me', others will be more jealous, and there are places where Su Jin'er doesn't like crowds, she probably won't go to check it in person. β
Ye Yao nodded and said:
"Okay, but Senior Su may not come to verify it in person. β
"Come on, come on, anyway, she won't dare to leave Xiangjiang for a while. β
"I see, don't worry. β
Xu Xingkong glanced at Ye Yaoxin, and added:
"Remember, put your own safety first. β
Ye Yaoxin responded with a smile, Xu Xingkong smiled at her, and then the figure suddenly shook, Ye Yaoxin's eyes swept to the direction where the path was sitting, but found that it was empty and the path was no longer there, Ye Yaoxin knew that sitting in Xu Xingkong's position at the moment was just a puppet who could fake it.
