Unlike what he imagined, there were not many people waiting in the long pavilion, only two people, a man and a woman, an old and a young, the old man was the Taishang Elder Liu Zhong, and the young one was his apprentice, and he was also the young leader of the Lunatic Sect, Wu Zhao.

Liu Zhong was wearing a brown thin shirt, his face was full of red light, and when he saw that he was happy to turn over and get off the horse, he got up, and gave up his hand from afar, his attitude was very sincere and cordial, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Gao Gongzi's demeanor is better than in the past, it is really gratifying!" ”

Happy threw the reins on the saddle at will, laughed and saluted: "Elder Liu has won the award, compared with the elder, Gao is far behind!" After a pause, he said happily and apologetically: "Elder Lao has been waiting for a long time, Gao is ashamed!" ”

"Master Gao doesn't have to mind, the old man has just arrived for a while!" Liu Zhong smiled and waved his hand, walked down the steps two steps, looked at him affectionately and said happily: "Master Gao, the tea is just boiling, you came at the right time, taste the old man's coarse tea, please come inside!" ”

"Have tea to taste? Very good, very good! He smiled happily, and walked towards the long pavilion, while looking up, he saw that there was a small red clay stove on a stone table in the pavilion, and a purple clay pot with exquisite workmanship on the stove, and the mouth of the pot was spraying white gas. Although it is still far away, the mellow fragrance is coming to the nose, which makes people feel clear.

"Childe, please be seated!"

"Elder, please!" Happy and Liu Zhong humbled each other, and then sat down at the stone table.

Xiao Ling didn't say a word from beginning to end, the shadow stood behind Happy Happy, and the eyes hidden in the cloak just glanced at Liu Zhong and Wu Zhao indifferently and lowered their eyes, like lifeless sculptures.

Although Liu Zhong's eyes fell on Gao Xing, he was secretly observing Xiao Ling who was accompanying him, not only Xiao Ling's maverick dress, outstanding temperament, but also the faint dangerous aura on his body. Ordinary people may only think that Xiao Ling is extremely indifferent and unapproachable, but a master like Liu Zhong can detect the unusual aura on his body.

Sitting calmly on the stone bench, he happily looked at Wu Zhao, who was standing beside Liu Zhong, with a cold face and a peerless demeanor, with concern in his words, and a little complaining: "Zhao'er, how are you doing these days?" You don't say goodbye, but your sister will be anxious for a while, so you should pay attention next time! ”

Wu Zhaoxiu frowned slightly, snorted lightly, seemed to be not satisfied with the happy title, and said unceremoniously: "You just need to take care of your sister!" ”

Happy touched a nail, touched his nose curtly, and no longer paid attention to Wu Zhao, but looked at Liu Zhong sincerely and said: "Elder Liu, thank you for taking care of Zhao'er all these years, thank you for being clumsy in Gao!" ”

"Gao Gongzi is polite, Zhao'er is amazingly talented, to be able to get her as an apprentice, not only can inherit the mantle of the old man, but also the blessing of my Moon Worship, where can I get the word 'thanks'?" Although Liu Zhong was surprised by Xiao Ling's identity, he didn't dwell on it, just smiled lightly and personally poured a cup of hot tea for Xingxing, and said enthusiastically: "Master Gao, please drink tea!" ”

"Thank you." He smiled happily and took it with both hands, blew a little breath, and blew away the white air fluttering on the teacup, and then took a sip, his eyes were slightly closed, and he tasted the lingering fragrance between his lips and teeth with a comfortable face.

"How?" When he opened his eyes, Liu Zhong asked.

"Good!" He smiled happily and praised: "A few days ago, the elder entrusted Zhao Protector to send a gift Gao Mou very much, thank you here, replace the wine with tea, and toast the elder with a cup!" ”

"It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about it!" Liu Zhong waved his hand, straightened his face and said: "Master Gao, some time ago, the Japanese Sect made a joke with you, which caused you a lot of trouble, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

happily put down the teacup, looked at Liu Zhong's eyes that were calm and had gone through vicissitudes, and his heart moved to understand what Liu Zhong said. Some time ago, the elite of the Yecheng Beggar Gang suddenly disappeared, and Xing Xing had long guessed that it might be the Moon Worship Sect, but now that he heard Liu Zhong say this, he finally confirmed in his heart.

Although he knew that the Lunatic Cult was proving their power to himself, and he knew that the Lunatic Cult was not to be underestimated, he still had a lot of arguments in his heart for them to do so. However, at this time, the relationship between the two sides eased, and their own people were still in the hands of the other party, and they were happy to owe a favor to the Moon Worship Sect because of the pink lotus, but it was not easy to turn their faces at this time.

Without waiting for him to open his mouth happily, Liu Zhong said to himself: "Master Gao, the person you want is now in Jeju City, no one, no more, no less, all unscathed!" ”

"Your sect has a heart!" Happy snorted lightly, his tone was very flat, and he couldn't hear the joy or anger, or a hint of mockery.

Liu Zhong smiled lightly, did not answer, but changed the topic and asked, "Master Gao, I don't know what you think of the old man's proposal that day?" ”

Finally arrived at the topic that both parties were most concerned about, his happy expression became a little serious, he looked straight at Liu Zhong, and did not say agree, nor did he say disagree, but asked: "What benefits can I get, and what do you want to get?" ”

Liu Zhong was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Xing Xing to say it so bluntly, so he didn't know how to answer it for a while. The cooperation between the two sides is naturally for the benefit of each other, but it seems to be naked when said directly, which is very unnatural.

Liu Zhong was just stunned and regained his composure, first smiled, and then he said eloquently: "Although the old man can't know everything that the son wants, he can guess one or two." My Moon Worship Sect has gone through hundreds of years, and the relationship between the three sects and the nine streams is somewhat, if I can cooperate with Childe, I think Childe will have less resistance to advance. ”

Happy and silent, he looked at Liu Zhong quietly, waiting for the following. Now that Gao Changgong is in power, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, why he intends to be really Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know it, how can such a well-informed force of the Lunatic Worship Sect not be able to guess.

There is no free lunch in the world, and the Lunatic Cult will obviously not contribute in vain, happily waiting for Liu Zhong to put forward his conditions.

I only heard Liu Zhong grit his teeth and continued: "We help Gongzi achieve what he wants, as long as Gongzi gives us help, we can get rid of those sanctimonious hypocrites of the Heavenly Dao Sect!" ”

He shook his head with a smile and said, "Elder Liu, I'm afraid that what your sect wants is much more than that!" Ming people don't say dark words, it's better for you to say it directly! ”

Liu Zhong's eyes widened suddenly, staring straight at Xingxing, and said word by word: "If the son succeeds, I hope that my sect can occupy a tenth-twelfth position in the court!" ”

"Poof—"

Rao was not surprised when he was happy, but when he heard Liu Zhong's opinion, he couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea, and said angrily: "Twelve out of ten, what a big appetite, Elder Liu, aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?" It is difficult for Gao to agree to this matter, if your sect insists on doing so, then we will still break up in two! ”

Liu Zhong waved his sleeves casually, and swept aside the water that was spewing out happily, and the smile on his face did not change the slightest, "Childe, it's only one out of ten Wenchen, and it's not okay for the army to never touch half a point?" ”

"No way!" The attitude of pleasure is very resolute.

Although it is one-tenth of the civil servants, this is also a very terrible number. Wen can be anbang, and Wu can set the country. The role of Wenchen must not be underestimated, since ancient times, because of Wenchen and subverted dynasties, I don't know how many, one-tenth of the power is so terrible.

The Lunatic Cult has thick roots and large leaves, even if it is happy to send a large army, it is impossible to completely exterminate it, and the Lunatic Cult's forces are inevitable to enter the court, and it is impossible to ban it at all. Although happy to agree or not, these are just words, but the reason why happy has a clear attitude at this time and does not give an inch is to prepare for a future Lunatic Sect to turn against him, and not to give the Lunatic Sect a chance to grow up to the point where he can't control it.

Seeing that he was happy and angry, and he was about to leave if he didn't agree with him, Liu Zhong's face couldn't help but collapse, and he said with some embarrassment: "Son, since you are resolutely opposed, the old man can only retreat." I have long heard that Gao Gongzi is not only rare in the world, but also a good hand in business, only three years of time, in Shandong, Jiangsu to create wealth to the world are shocked, I hope to fully cooperate with Gongzi, share one-tenth of the profits. ”

"Huh!" Happy and angry and laughing, this Liu Zhong dared to speak.

There are only two most important and attractive things in the world, one is power, and the other is wealth, no matter which reaches a certain level, it can influence society and the country. According to Liu Zhong's cunning and cunning, it is estimated that he would not let go of power, and it was because of this that the lion opened his mouth in order to put forward a request for a share of wealth, and this is probably his main purpose.

"Elder Liu, Gao admitted that the power of your sect is all over the north, and the sheer size of the tentacles shocked Gao Mou, but the number of tenths and twelve is unacceptable to Gao." Happy said quickly, and his attitude was a little better than that.

There is a big reason for being happy, the power of the beggar gang in Yecheng was almost wiped out by the Lunatic Cult overnight, although happy was surprised, but not shocked, but what happened in more than ten days since he went north made him really feel the horror of this behemoth that has stood for hundreds of years.

In the middle of a month, most of the business in the north was sniped, and the enemy's methods were not fierce and fierce, but the losses caused to the happy were also extremely large. Without much scrutiny, glad to be sure that this was the work of the Lunatic Cult.

Although the princes of various places are in high positions and powers, they can exert such a great influence on the market and have the financial resources to do so, and only the Lunatic Worship Sect can do it in the entire north, and there is no other semicolon.

It was only at this time that Gao Yue knew that the Lunatic Cult he had seen was only the tip of the iceberg, and his strength had reached a terrifying level. This is also an important reason why Happy Happiness has eased a lot, it is true that Happy can sweep everything away by force, but if a Lunatic Cult disappears, there will be countless forces rising, no matter what, he will still have to cooperate with large and small forces in the end.

The most eternal thing in the world is interests, and this requires compromise between the two sides, which is also the charm of politics. This is the unspoken rule of social development, which cannot be changed.

"One percent, that's my biggest concession, otherwise everything is out of the question!" The happy voice was low and solemn, and the tone was as resolute as iron.
