vs 491 Times have changed
Warring States Fengyun Hotel.
Rooftop meeting room.
On the large round table, thirteen name tags were placed on thirteen seats, and a white-bearded old man sat on the guest of honor.
He has a gray beard and hair, a slender head, slightly closed eyes, a big hat, and a crane-haired face.
The Eight Horses of the West Garden and the heads of the three major families sat down one after another, and sat down in two semicircles on the left and right sides of the old man. Everyone didn't speak, but their eyes and expressions showed that everyone's position was different.
"Eight horses in the West Garden, don't come unharmed." The old man said.
The eight horses of the West Garden said in unison: "Mr. Wuya, don't come unharmed. ”
Xi Wuya smiled slightly and opened his eyes: "After more than ten years, I have gathered with all the masters again this time, and Wuya is full of emotion." Brother Cihai, I'm looking forward to playing a good game of chess with you again, the last time I played against you, I lost you a half and a half, and I can't forget your chess skills. ”
Cihai smiled slightly: "Mr. Wuya has won the prize, but he just happened to win narrowly that day, and Cihai is also amazed by Mr. Chess's chess skills." ”
"Hahahaha......." Wuya laughed loudly: "Master don't be too humble, don't say it's me Wuya, even my master, I also praise your chess skills!" ”
Cihai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't have a chance to meet with the respected master, I'm afraid that his old gentleman only knew my chess path and chess game by virtue of the chess game, which can't explain a qiē." ”
Wuya looked relaxed and played with everyone one by one, chatting about the past, and the scene seemed very relaxed. But everyone knows that this is just diplomatic etiquette, just like boxers greeting each other before the fight, just putting on a show, showing off their demeanor, and then everyone is the same when they really fight, they are all like vicious dogs, and no one cares about the old emotions.
Wuya picked up the teacup: "Hasn't the representative of the Du family arrived yet?" ”
Cihai said: "The Du family originally came to attend with Du Gongfeng, but now it seems that it is not easy for him to attend." Cihai said and looked at Sima Ping.
Sima Ping smiled and said: "The master doesn't need to look at me, since I advocate a negotiated settlement, I won't do it behind my back and stop them from attending the meeting." They didn't come, maybe they were cowardly, maybe they knew that the general trend was gone, or maybe they were stuck in a traffic jam halfway, in short, it had nothing to do with me. ”
Cihai said: "The master of the Sima family is serious, I believe in your character, and I have never doubted that you will do something in this kind of thing." ”
Wuya coughed: "Ahem......, um." I feel extremely honored to reunite with you after a long absence, and the Eight Horses of the West Park have abided by the martial arts convention for decades and have never violated it. This kind of thing happened this time, and the head of the family expected that the pattern of Shimizu City would change, so he specially appointed me to preside over the new round table. ”
Everyone looked at Wuyi, only Wuliang kept his eyes closed.
Wuya continued: "But this time I am only here to witness, I will not participate in your disputes, and I have no position, I have two missions here. The first is to witness the roundtable and try to avoid everyone's fighting. ”
Wu Ya said: "I know that you now have different opinions on the distribution of the pattern, and if you have opinions, you are not afraid, everyone can sit down and talk about it, and solve it calmly." If we really can't talk about it, I also hope that the differences can be resolved by confrontation to the greatest extent. It is my first task to help you resolve this disagreement. ”
Everyone understands it, although Wuya keeps saying that he does not take sides, does not take sides, remains neutral, and does not take a stand. However, it is an indisputable fact that the Sima family is strong and the other three families are weak, the Du family has been divided, and the precarious situation of the Du family is also real.
At this time, as a person from a hidden family, he came here, and saying that he did not take a position is a position in itself; said that he didn't choose a side, but in fact, he was clearly on the side of the Sima family!
It's the equivalent of a person coming out and saying that he's just a referee, and whoever of you can beat whoever is the winner is the winner, and I'll be impartial. But the two players are a 180-pound and a 90-pound contest.
At this time, Wuya appeared as a judge, and it was the correct position to stop the Sima family and prohibit annexation, but he said that he was neutral.
Cihai and the others sank in their hearts and knew it. Immeasurable eyes are still pressing. The Black and Red Twins were a little nervous. Zhong Wanli and Luan Jiangshan glanced at each other and frowned slightly.
Wuya continued: "My second task is to reiterate the rules in the future after the results of the conference appear, and the behavior of the Eight Horses of the West Park against the martial arts convention will no longer be allowed to appear, otherwise, our hidden family will have to come forward to settle the matter, and at that time, whether you are a fox who has cultivated for thousands of years or a snake spirit for ten thousand years, all the Taoism will be turned into powder." ”
Wuya's expression was very indifferent, and he looked at Cihai and the other four people coldly, it was obvious that he had an opinion on them for disobeying the rules of the round table back then and intervening in the annexation of the Sima family.
Cihai sighed slowly, closed his eyes immeasurably, and didn't say a word. The black and red duo felt that their faces were a little hot, and their palms were already sweating.
Wuya's indifferent expression suddenly laughed: "Of course, I have an old friendship with all of you, as long as there is room for maneuver, I will definitely remember this old relationship." But you should also think twice about what you do, and don't break the heart of my friend! ”
This is almost a naked threat, I can't understand the sound outside the strings, it's really like Li Huaifeng said: "The death is worse than potatoes and cucumbers!" ”
Wuliang still does not speak, his eyes closed; Cihai was embarrassed to say something, but there were no good words; The black and red heroes looked at each other the same, very solemn.
Xi Wuya said lightly: "Hey, let's start now, let me also listen to what has happened in the past few years, sort out the context, let's hurry up and finish this boring memory, I'm looking forward to trying Sima Mansion's Qixue black tea!" ”
Sima Ping smiled slightly: "Thanks to the love of the old-timers, Sima Mansion has been sprinkled with water and repaired, and fragrant tea has been prepared, waiting for you to go and taste it." ”
Cihai hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Wuya, this memory has a great relationship with the Du family, and now the representative of the Du family has not yet arrived, so we have a meeting...... Is it defective? ”
Sima Ping said coldly: "Then what do you mean?" Let the boundless seniors wait here for Du Gongfeng's little ghost? ”
In a word, the choked Cihai couldn't reply.
Sima Ping stood up and looked around at all the masters and family representatives: "Respected Boundless Seniors, the seniors of the Eight Horses of the West Garden, and the heads of their families and several major families. First of all, I must express my gratitude to all the seniors who came to participate in this meeting. Because of us, he came thousands of miles to this city, for peace, for friendship, and to be able to successfully assist us in dealing with the complex situation in front of us, so that we can all have a safer and broader future. In view of that, I thank him. ”
The people around applauded.
Sima Ping continued: "Now, it is up to me to state my opinion. ”
Sima Ping beckoned, Wang Ziqing hurried up and pulled his chair back, Sima Ping stood straight, wearing a suit, and talked like a speaker.
"All of you here are my seniors, and I have a lot of respect and respect for everyone here. Frankly, even at this moment, I still hope that we can meet in a festive setting, not at the negotiating table. ”
"My grandfather broke through the glory of the Sima family, he established the prestige of the Sima family, and established the style of the Sima family. But sadly, his life was short and he left us early, but my father carried on his legacy and carried it forward. Now, the burden of the family falls on my shoulders, I am not a genius, I am not that great, and I must rely on the help of my elders and seniors to move forward. ”
The people around nodded yes, and praised in their hearts, this Sima Ping, who speaks without leakage, is very fatherly.
"My father once said to me that the most important thing in the family's beliefs is the concept of 'home'! Only by treating and loving every family member with kindness and harmony and happiness can we call it a 'family'. ”
He shook his finger and said, "But I don't agree, this concept is only applicable to ordinary people's families, as one of the four major families, our Sima family should take on more obligations and share more responsibilities." In the confrontation in the past few years, the Du family has been competing with our Sima family frantically for no reason, which is something that everyone here has seen, heard, and knew, and in order to ensure the foundation and belief of the Sima family, I officially declared war with regret...... feelings. ”
"I know Master Cihai, the Immeasurable Dao Master, and the Black and Red Heroes...... Perhaps there are others who aspire to maintain the status quo and live together peacefully. But I ask you to think about it, is it possible to maintain the status quo? Will the world remain the same forever? The world is destined to change, time will pass, the times will progress, and when it is time to shuffle the cards, no one can stop it, even if it is the ancient emperors of Qianqiu, who hold the power of the world, they still can't stop the pace of the times. Right now....... ”
Sima Ping said heavily: "The times must make a choice, and I am sure that our Sima family and all of you here are the people who belong to the future, and the Du family is bound to be eliminated." ”
"I'm not a careerist, I'm here to make a public commitment!" Sima Ping waved his hand: "All the assets and peripherals of the Du family, remove the war losses of our Sima family, and I only need thirty percent of the rest!" The Luan family and the Zhong family each own 35%! ”
Sima Ping said indifferently: "My elaboration is over, do you still have any opinions?" ”
Wuya pouted, nodded, and sighed with a smile: "The little ghost of the Sima family has grown up." When the Sima family was happy to have a son, I remember the full moon wine I went to drink with you, who would have thought that yesterday's little swaddling clothes would become the head of the family today. Old, we're all old. ”
Xi Wuya said: "Brother Wanli, Brother Jiangshan, the relationship with your two families is also very important at this time, what are your opinions?" ”
Zhong Wanli raised his head and looked at Sima Ping, the corners of his mouth moved. Sima Ping had already sat down, and his eyes hardly looked at Zhong Wanli, but the indifference and firmness behind the glasses made Zhong Wanli's heart tremble.
