Chapter 300: Vertical and Horizontal
After Liu Gongzi got the jade pendant from the Yiyi girl, he went downstairs unhurriedly, and did not deliberately hide it, so he left through the back door.
There are countless children of powerful people who come here to have fun, and if Li Ruizhi can come, Liu Gongzi can naturally come. It's no surprise that he's here. As for someone who can associate Yiyi from Li Ruizhi, and then associate him with Liu Gongzi from Yiyi, and figure out his intention to take that jade pendant, he will not believe it.
Unless it is an all-knowing and all-powerful God, who can deduce from the slightest indication on the surface that he and those behind him have a huge and complex plan.
Perhaps after the incident, careful people will be able to find out the context in turn. But by that time, everything had already settled, and the matter was irrelevant.
Therefore, he came over without being ostentatious or low-key, and then left, taking only a jade pendant with him.
Liu Gongzi got into a carriage waiting outside, the coachman raised his whip, and the carriage slowly began to move forward.
Turning a few streets, the road is gradually sparsely populated, but the road is becoming more and more smooth and open.
Because this area is already a gathering place for people with power or wealth, or both wealth and power, in Gaozhou City.
It is also commonly known as the rich area.
The carriage drove along the main road to one of the most magnificent and luxurious mansions in the vicinity. There were guards on the left and right in front of the huge red gate, and instead of stopping the carriage as it came, they hurriedly opened the gate and made way for the road.
The coachman drove the horses that pulled the cart and went straight in without stopping.
The guards hurriedly came over and pulled hard at the two huge red door panels.
There was a bang, and the scarlet door closed again, and everything in front of it was calm.
The bright and hot sunlight shone down and reflected a dazzling light on the plaque in the center of the gate.
The vigorous characters on the plaque also seem to be plated with a layer of golden light, majestic and solemn, making people look up.
It is the word "Liu Fu"!
In the mansion, Liu Yulong, the head of the Liu family, was entertaining guests in his study.
Of course, the study room is not necessarily a place to store and read books, and the study room of a big man like Liu Yulong can be regarded as a place that needs to be closely protected. This is because there are not only a lot of important and secret materials here, but it is also a place to discuss secrets.
Like now.
"Brother Guan, this matter should be sooner rather than later. If you hesitate any longer, not only will the opportunity be lost, but for you, brother, and your Guan family, it will be the difference between heaven and earth. ”
Liu Yulong personally added some hot tea to the cup of the visitor opposite, and his tone was affectionate and familiar, obviously an old acquaintance.
Those who can sit with the head of the Liu family and let Liu Yulong pour tea himself will naturally not be ordinary people. And this person is surnamed Guan, and his identity is about to come out.
This person is the head of the Guan family, one of the four major families in Gaozhou City, Guan Renjie.
Guan Renjie has a round face and a wide mouth, and his appearance is generous. Liu Yulong called him Brother Guan, but he looked older than Liu Yulong.
He held the cup in one hand, just rubbing it repeatedly, but it was not too hot, and he seemed to be unconscious.
After a long time, he spoke with difficulty, and his voice was hoarse.
"Otherwise, I won't be involved in this matter. No matter what the result is, just want to keep the net worth and property of the Guan family now, and don't expect to go further, what do you think of the Liu family? ”
Liu Yulong sat down in his seat, a coldness on his face.
"Brother Guan, I'm not doing business now. In other words, even if it is a business, it is a deadly business that has put his life on the line. If you win, you will take all, and if you lose, you will not only lose your life, but even the entire family will be uprooted. In such a battlefield, if you want to be alone, you can't do it. ”
In other words, there is a faint smell of threat. Guan Renjie listened, and the bitterness on his face became a little stronger.
Speaking of the four major families in Gaozhou City, everyone knows that they are the top four forces in the city, but there are also strong and weak among them. The strongest is undoubtedly the Li family of the city lord Li Yongchang. The Liu family followed closely behind, in second place. The Zhang family is ranked third, and the last is the Guan family where Guan Renjie is located.
Now the second and third Liu family and the Zhang family are united, and their momentum and strength are enough to shake the position of the Li family, which has deep roots. Compared with the weakest Guan family, a huge gap has been formed.
"Immortals fight, mortals suffer!" Guan Renjie sighed, full of helplessness.
Liu Yulong's attitude slowed down, and he picked up the delicate teapot and filled it for him again. But Guan Renjie was distressed, how could he have the heart to drink tea, the cup was still full and had not moved. Liu Yulong put the teapot back on the table.
"Brother Guan is too low-key and too cautious, and he can't do it in this world. As long as you work hard, a brilliant future will open up in front of your eyes. Don't think of yourself as a mortal, you can also be a god in a fight. ”
"But the city lord's ability and means, others don't know, you and I are clear. If you want to say that you are facing him head-on, I am not afraid that Brother Liu will laugh, I am really a little scared in my heart. ”
Guan Renjie bluntly said that he was afraid, but Liu Yulong was not surprised.
Thinking about the tragic war in which the four major families rose and replaced the old forces, the main combat power was still the Li, Liu, and Zhang families, and the Guan family was the weakest, and the courage was also insufficient, and they played more roles in logistics management and flag waving. And Li Yongchang rushed to kill the most fiercely, and the killing was decisive, which made the enemy frightened and awe-inspiring. Now it is indeed not an easy decision for Guan Renjie to take the initiative to rebel against the Li family.
But Guan Renjie's tone was loose, and he changed from maintaining a neutral attitude of not helping each other to thinking about the success or failure of the Li family, which is a good start.
Liu Yulong continued to "follow the good path" in a gentle tone.
"After all, we have fought side by side before, and we don't know each other's details. Li Yongchang is indeed difficult to deal with, but Brother Guan, you know my personality, I dare to bet on the future of the Liu family, if I don't have a good chance of winning, will I let it go? ”
Guan Renjie's face was straight and he nodded slightly. Liu Yulong was equivalent to a military staff officer among the four at that time, and he was called an old scheming when he said it was good, and he was cunning when he said it was bad, and he belonged to the master who didn't see a rabbit and didn't scatter an eagle.
Liu Yulong was slightly happy when he saw this, and immediately continued: "With my Liu family and Zhang family joining forces, it is enough to compete with the Li family. Now with the addition of the Guan family, the odds of winning have increased greatly. Even if Li Yongchang still has a hidden back hand, it will be a tie at most. But on our side, there is still a strong back-up that can give the Li family a fatal blow at any time! ”
Guan Renjie's heart moved, and he asked later: "When Brother Liu said about backup, do you mean ......?"
"It's the Holy Empire!" Liu Yulong said categorically.
In order to strengthen Guan Renjie's confidence in taking refuge, Liu Yulong decided to turn over all the hole cards. Otherwise, according to his cautious character, I am afraid that he will have to be lucky and take the role of the wall grass to the end.
Liu Yulong believes that not only is his side fighting for the Guan family, but Li Yongchang will definitely not let go of this big help. If we do not bring the Guan family into our camp as soon as possible, the situation will become more uncertain, which is really unwise.
Guan Renjie's face changed drastically, and Huo Ran stood up. But then he sat down slowly.
"It seems that Brother Liu is indeed winning, whether I join the family or not, it will be okay in the overall situation."
Liu Yulong said: "If Brother Guan joins, we will be even more powerful, even if Li Yongchang is rampant, it will be impossible to escape defeat." ”
He thought in his heart: What you said is good, but pulling the Guan family over is more about isolating Li Yongchang and making the Li family even more helpless.
"In this case, my Guan family has no other choice, I will ask Brother Liu to take care of it in the future, and I, Guan Renjie, will say thank you in advance!"
Guan Renjie bowed down and bowed deeply.
Liu Yulong didn't hold it up, and hurriedly helped Guan Renjie up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction: "This time, let our brothers continue to fight side by side." We used to be brothers, and we will always be brothers. ”
Guan Renjie nodded again and again, his face was still very bitter, as if he was worried, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
