Text 241 Eight Tigers Out of the Shift (II)
Dima City is a fortress in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, and the City Lord's Mansion is a castle that symbolizes the highest power.
Xiao Can was sitting in the lobby at this time, still holding a teacup and pretending to fiddle with the tea leaves, and said, "Lord City, this tea must be the best tea in the Western Regions." ”
Nalan Gu had no interest in talking about tea, and his expression was extremely solemn. It stands to reason that he should be happy, waiting for Xiao Can is equivalent to the news that he is about to harvest the Demon Sect, but the two-way army of the Eight Tiger Villages, which divides the east and the west, makes him feel a lot of pressure.
Dima City is very special, it plays an important role in connecting the east and west of the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court does not want to be prosperous here, but it is good to seek stability and stability. Originally, the four major gangs were separated from the east, west, north and south, forming a wonderful balance, but the young man in front of him tried to break this balance.
It's not a good omen, and anything that gets out of control is instinctively terrifying.
Nalan Gu said straight to the point: "The lord of Xiao Zhai came to find the old man early in the morning, and led a large team of people and horses to move out of the village, and also surrounded the city lord's mansion with water, I think it won't be as simple as just drinking tea." ”
Xiao Can pretended to be confused and said: "It's true that I'm here to drink tea, and I'm here to see this group of newly accepted little brothers in the north of the city, who knows that they are so unruly, and they actually blocked the gate, which is really a sin." ”
Not only blocked the gate, but even the main camp of the city not far away was also blocked.
Such an act is no different from a provocation. As long as Nalan Gu gives an order, it is understandable to say that Xiao Can is a chaotic party. But the old fox knew that this was a temptation by Xiao Can, this kid wanted to sweep the west of the city, and he didn't want the official family to interfere. But Nalan Gu didn't expect his appetite to be so big, and he actually wanted to uproot the old ghost Yu Lietu in the east of the city.
The Eight Tigers Village is powerful, and it is not without a chance to win with one enemy and two enemies. And Mo Za's people have just worshiped the mountain, and their combat effectiveness can't be counted on, but mud legs have the benefits of mud legs, this group of people is deeply rooted in the north of the city, and most of the people in the city lord's mansion are also acquainted, so it's perfect to leave this kind of thing to them.
This method is obviously a way to unify the underground world of Dima City. Nalan Gu was secretly frightened, he couldn't have imagined that the seemingly gentle young man in front of him had such great ambitions.
In the master game, whoever strikes first is easy to expose flaws.
Nalan Gu couldn't afford to wait, so he stopped playing dumb riddles with Xiao Can, and said straight to the point: "Lord Xiao Zhai, you are a dignified court secret agent, but you have stirred up the city of Dima City, and you are still entangled with the sword tyrants of the four cities, what is the purpose of this, the old man needs an explanation!" ”
Xiao Can put down the teacup, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you the old man, in fact, I am not from the court." ”
Nalan Gu's color changed, and he suddenly got up and said, "You-"
Xiao Can waved his hand and said, "Don't get excited, Lord City, I only said that I met Qiao Qiao on the night of the prison robbery and came together to save Yun Mianmian, it was you who insisted that I was a secret agent of the imperial court, no wonder me." ”
Nalangu thought about it carefully, it was really like this. But under the circumstances, I am afraid that anyone will also go astray.
He took a deep breath, he didn't expect Xiao Can to play his cards so uneasily, and he brought such exciting news as soon as he came up. This kid dared to risk offending the city lord to reveal his identity, it was impossible not to have hole cards, Nalan Guqiang pressed his anger and asked: "You are not a member of the court, but you have troops and self-respect, and destroy the stability of Dima City, then the old man will not tolerate you." ”
Xiao Can said disapplausively: "City Lord, we are all smart people, there is no need to make threats and intimidation." You want something from me, and I want it from you, so let's be honest and see how we can work together in the best way, don't you say? ”
"Ridiculous!" Nalan Gu took the case and said angrily: "You blocked the old man's door, but you kept talking about cooperation, is this your sincerity!" The old man is dignified and the city lord of Dima, how can you insult you, arrest you, the old man can ask what he wants! ”
"Really?"
Xiao Can's face changed, and he looked at him without backing down, but he sat as steady as Mount Tai, and said coldly: "Then you can try." ”
Soldiers, treacherous ways.
Every word is a tactic. The two stared at each other-for-tat, and the atmosphere in the lobby dropped to a freezing point.
**************************************
"Master Lei, there is something unknown about the little one."
On the empty Smoke Willow Alley, the flying wolf pushed Lei Ye to walk in front, his face full of doubts.
Lei Ye said quietly: "Say." ”
The flying wolf said: "How can we make a fuss behind closed doors, it is all the housework of the Eight Tigers Village, but it is different when we get out of the village." It's okay for your old man to come forward to negotiate with the old ghost, but Po Kui took the sweep of Dacheng Street, that is to see blood, in the one-third of an acre of land in Dima City, the city lord will really let the village lord toss like this? ”
"Yes, the old man didn't expect to think of this in your head." An unfathomable smile appeared on Lei Ye's face, and he said slowly: "According to common sense, the city lord of Nalan is the biggest sword tyrant in the city, and if anyone breaks the rules that have been formed over the years, it will be impossible to get along with him." But Can'er is different, compared to the few underworld petty fights in the city, the Demon Sect is what the Nalan City Lord cares about more, and Can'er is the key to exploring the traces of the Demon Sect. With this identity, Can'er dares to be fearless. ”
The flying wolf said: "Even so, is it necessary to have such a stiff quarrel with the City Lord's Mansion?" ”
Lei Ye said: "In the Western Regions, no one can be reasonable, and there are only two things that everyone cares about: strength and interests. Sweeping things away with the power of a village is strength, and what the city lord wants most is benefits. ”
The flying wolf touched his head and said, "The owner of the village will provide the information of the two demon sects, and the city lord will obediently stand still, watching us make a fuss, this is too shameless." ”
Lei Ye said again: "This is Can'er's cleverness, look at our village, didn't you find any clues?" ”
The flying wolf was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Lei Ye smiled even brighter, and said: "The benefits that Can'er can bring to others will always exceed the imagination of the other party." Whether he blocked the door or went to the meeting alone, he was building confidence and letting the city lord put him in an equal position to negotiate. People who are not on the same level, there is no possibility of negotiation, only when Nalangu completely recognizes his status, will he feel that the next benefits are precious, and Can'er can also strive for more benefits for himself and the village. ”
The flying wolf could hear the clouds and mountains and fog, and he couldn't understand the sharp edge in Lei Ye's words at all. I wanted to ask something more, but I found that several fierce men suddenly appeared at the end of the alley, with unwelcome vigilance on their faces, everyone's hands pressed on the hilt of the knife, and looked coldly at a group of uninvited guests.
Lei Ye stopped and said in a deep voice: "Eight Tigers Zhai Lei Eight Tigers, I took the liberty to come to talk about a business with the old ghost, and bothered a few brothers to lead the way." ”
Several people on the opposite side glanced at each other, and the leader finally got out of the way, and said respectfully: "Master Lei, please come here." ”
