Chapter 1155: Rain and Snow
Chapter 1195: Rain and Snow
The ghost family sent a deacon elder to the Wang family to ask Chu Nan to take action, but the ghost tide did not have much confidence in this invitation, but he was still willing to give it a try for the sake of ghost hunting.
Although Chu Nan belonged to the Wang family, his father was the outstanding figure of the Yao family, Master Chu, Chu Zhao.
At present, some of the situations are not very clear, but the battle between the two families of Yaosu and the two families of ghost painting has gradually been revealed, and even those people in the lower echelons of the imperial capital have already seen the clues, not to mention the people from other families, and they have seen it clearly.
Since the Yao family is involved in this battle, Chu Nan's choice is very problematic, so the ghost tide is not too optimistic.
Although Hua Qi has a cunning personality and is even more inconsistent, as a member of a super family, he still has his own uniqueness in acting.
It was he who proposed to let the ghost family send the deacons and elders of the outer door to come forward with heavy gifts, the status is not high, but it is not low, if the invitation is not successful, the ghost tide will come forward again and there will be room for turning around and negotiating, this is the final result of the seven plots.
The matter of ghost hunting is only very important in the eyes of the ghost tide, but the high-level of the two ghost painters at this time shook for another reason.
The two families jointly proposed to open the highest competition arena, and set up a gambling bet with extremely high odds through this competition, but the result ended in Shen Feng's victory.
"Do you know how much you lost this time?"
"The exact number is not yet clear, but we can only make a preliminary estimate. ”
"How much?"
"It's almost more than 10 million, which is just an approximate number at the moment, and the number will increase upwards. ”
"What, more than 10 million, it's not the final number yet, why do you want to increase, why!"
"There are so many people who have redeemed the bonus, and so far it has only redeemed a large part of it. We have allocated enough cash from several of our properties in the inner city to cope with the current situation. I have sent out the shops in the outer city of the humane people to block the missing parts as soon as possible. ”
"These untouchables have let these most despicable people divide up our money, and this living money is what we have prepared for the purchase of the medicine after the competition, how are we going to explain to the head of the family at this time, you guys will tell me how I should explain. ”
In a relatively remote hall inside the ghost mansion, seven or eight old men sat around and talked about it, with anger evident in their words.
These people are all elders of the ghost family, these are real elders, and their status is much more noble than the kind of deacon elders sent out to pray for Chu Nan's help, and even a handsome man like Ghost Chao can be on an equal footing.
"Such a big loss is caused by the ghost tide and the ghost hunt, this loss should be spit out, and the family should not pay such a price for their mistakes. ”
The old man, who had not spoken, spoke a little angrily, and slammed his fist on the armrest of the chair next to him as he spoke.
He also never spoke, and judging from his position, he should be the highest ranking among the elders. He glanced at the old man who had just spoken with a gloomy face, and the elder didn't dare to continue, so the elder who was sitting in the first place spoke coldly.
"This incident not only involves our family, but the painter is also involved, and the painter's loss is much more than ours, but do you see that they came to my ghost house to find trouble, to find trouble with ghost hunting and ghost tides? ”
As he spoke, his eyes looked around, and his gaze became cold and unforgiving, as if ordinary words came out of his mouth, and they all went straight into people's hearts like a sharp weapon.
The expressions of the few old men who spoke before also became very embarrassed, and they didn't dare to raise their eyes to look at the old man in the first place, which showed that the other elders were afraid of them.
The elder who was sitting in the first place spoke again: "I know that you don't have a good relationship with the ghost tide on weekdays, but when is it now, do you want to continue to fight in the nest, your brains are not filled with water!"
Even the painter didn't come to investigate, you still want to investigate, this matter is no longer a simple ghost hunting challenge failure, it also represents the failure of that character's first plan, this is the problem that you elm heads should think about. ”
When the words "that person" were spoken, the old man's voice seemed to be deliberately lowered, but the people around him trembled unconsciously when they heard it, as if they remembered some terrible person or thing.
The elders who were still clamoring to punish the ghost hunt and the ghost tide just now all turned into defeated attacks at this moment, and they didn't dare to say anything more with their heads down.
At this moment, in the painter's mansion, in the same side hall, the same group of old men, with the same solemn faces, they did not scream as soon as they came up like the ghosts, or they wanted to find out who would punish them.
Some are post-super families, big families, and small families, and everyone has some common problems. When the problem lies with oneself and the interests of the people around him are harmed, they will desperately look for various reasons, or try every means to blame others for the fault.
And when other people's mistakes affect their own interests, at this time, the damaged people will rise up and attack them, so as to dig up all their lost benefits, otherwise they will never give up.
It's just that many of the elders of the painter are much calmer than the ghost family, and no one mentions anything about holding the ghost family and the ghost hunt responsible.
The expression on the face of this painter seems to be even uglier than that of the ghost family, and more serious than the ghost family.
"This competition originally hoped to use the gambling game to bring some wavering forces over, but this time the plan completely failed, and I don't know how the ghost family will react. ”
Hearing the words of an elder, the elder of the painter who was also sitting at the top of the table muttered gloomily for a moment, and then said slowly: "I am not worried about the ghost family, although I did not tie it to our chariot with benefits, but I accidentally tied it to us with hatred.
And among the high-ranking people of the ghost family, they still know the existence of 'that one', but I don't worry about what the ghost family will do. ”
At this point, the old man paused slightly, and then said again: "Even if the ghost family originally had other thoughts, now they only have one choice left in front of them. It's just that this plan failed, and the Wang family and the Lin family can't say it well, these two are the main links in our plan this time.
Hey, I didn't expect things to develop to this point, which makes me not even know how to clean up the situation, the family's loss this time is probably close to 20 million, even if you want to mobilize resources from other counties and towns in the empire, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with the auction of God's selection of medicine, this is the most serious loss of the family at the moment. ”
Several old men listened to his words, and their eyes became complicated, and they also knew the situation, but after listening to them analyze them one by one, they made them feel more worried.
"Great Elder, do you say that those wavering small families and forces will have two hearts because of this incident. What we have lost will not shake the foundation of the painter, but those small families are like the world is turned upside down, and some small families are afraid that they will be directly removed from the imperial capital because of this incident. ”
The old man, who was known as the Great Elder, snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "Those small forces and small families don't have much value in the first place, and their existence and disappearance will not affect the overall situation. They don't know our core secrets, at most they know that we are united with the ghosts.
Now, as long as you are not blind, you can see it, even if they have the intention to spread these news, others will see it more clearly. ”
His eyes turned slightly cold, and the old man continued: "Their family does not exist, so they simply belong directly to my painter, and be an honest vassal force, and my painter can at least ensure its immortality." If you really want to betray my painter, hehe, when he is done, I promise that those betrayers will not stay. ”
The other old men, one by one, also had a smug look on their faces, and at this moment they had a kind of sincere joy, they were proud of their fact that they were painters, even if they were only an elder at the bottom of the ranks, they were much stronger than those small forces and family heads at this moment.
"Great Elder, then this time, do we want to ...... the ghost family?"
The man's words came to an abrupt end before he could finish his words, for he saw that the Great Elder was already in the palm of his hand, and motioned for him not to continue.
The Great Elder slowly raised his head, the door of this side hall was open, there were no guards and warriors around, and no half of them dared to approach. The old man looked out of the hall, but saw the snowflakes falling in the courtyard.
I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, and I could already see a faint breath in the cold weather. The old man seemed to be a little tired, and said slowly: "The current situation is complicated, and we are just going with the flow of some things.
The Oni family is a super family with us, and their strength is not a good thing for us. Our plan this time will make the entire pattern of the Xuanwu Empire change dramatically, and the relationship between the ghost family and us in the future is still unpredictable, we will lose a thousand, if they don't lose eight hundred, won't they marry others in the future. ”
Several old men are also old and mature, and the words of the great elder are also unconcealed, and they naturally understand now, and one by one the old men nodded lightly, and they all looked at the snowflakes falling in the courtyard.
Sitting in the carriage, Zuo Feng looked at the scenery outside the carriage without focus. The snowflakes were falling just now, but at this moment, there were dripping raindrops falling, making the originally white world become filthy in the blink of an eye.
"Snow and rain have the same root and the same origin, but when the two are mixed, they become so muddy and filthy that it may not be suitable for coexisting in the world with the same root and the same origin. ”
Zuo Feng seemed to be talking to himself and sighed casually, but it was as if the scenery in front of him touched his heart and felt something.
