Inside the bar. Neon lights flash.

Bewitching girls of different skin tones, accompanied by energetic music, writhing wantonly on the stage. Watching the crowd around, some whistled, some cheered, and the atmosphere was hot.

In the southwest corner near the bar there was a table of people, five men and two women. They seem to be watching the dancers perform, but they are actually communicating in secret.

"Damn, the second ring road of Xibu City is probably more prosperous than the People's Avenue of our Dragon City...... I don't know what it is like when I go to the inner city! ”

"The inner city is not going!"

"Captain, why?"

"The inner city is heavily guarded, we are all outsiders, and it is easy to be targeted and reveal our identities!"

"Well, the captain is right, I agree!"

"I agree too! Anyway, we have already explored the general situation of Huameng, so there is no need to take any more risks! ”

……

These men and women are weird. With the movement of his lips, he can pass on what he wants to say to his companions. The nearest guest sitting next to him didn't want to hear what they were talking about.

"The heritage of a Huameng is already on par with our Dragon City...... Who would have thought that there is also a Jiuli Jun in the southwest Miao District, occupying the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and even the Indochina Peninsula has been conquered! ”

"The most unexpected thing is that this Jiu Li Jun is still the fourth lady of 'that'!"

"! This surnamed Li does have some means, if you don't admire it, you can't do it! ”

"Lu Han, fortunately, your Lu family didn't use any means against Mr. Li, otherwise you would have stabbed the hornet's nest, and it would have been difficult to end up at that time!"

"Their Lu family hasn't done it now, it doesn't mean that they will always be peaceful...... Hee-hee, if we leave this time. The Lu family couldn't help but make a move, and there would be a good show to watch then! ”

"Ning Chengyun. Don't forget, kid, the seven great families of my Dragon City are all in the same spirit. It's all about the same, our Lu family is unlucky, and your Ning family doesn't want to be alone? ”

"Don't make any noise! Save some energy, act separately tomorrow, find out the strength of the three major legions of the Huameng, as well as the general situation in the southwest, seize the time to complete the task, and go back to resume your life! ”

After one of the men glared at his companions with a warning look. He called the waiter and paid the bill. Just leave.

"Let's go, too!"

The gang got up and quickly left the ballroom. However, not long after they left, a young man in a black leather coat appeared in the booth next to the gang just now.

There is only one guest in this booth. He looked like a Southeast Asian ethnicity, dark-skinned, and in his thirties. Its appearance is very ordinary, but its ears are very large, and it looks a little like a lucky boy. It's kind of funny.

"Brother Quinlan, have you found anything?" The young man in black sat down.

The Southeast Asian man he called 'Quinlan' smiled and said in Chinese, not very fluent: "These people are proficient in a certain technique. They can condense their voices into threads and communicate with each other, so that outsiders can't hear their conversations at all. ”

That's it. This person's two 'lucky ears' actually fanned a few times, and he said proudly: "But." They can't hide it from me. ”

Ten minutes later.

The young man in black stood up and took his leave. Before leaving, he quietly stuffed it to the Southeast Asian man named Quinlan. A wad of thick bills.

"Xiaodong, thank you!"

"Happy working together!"

When the young man in black walked out of the bar, his eyes were sharp, and he looked around and saw that no one was approaching. Then, he took out something similar to a walkie-talkie and shouted in a low voice: "Report on the 37th of Huozi under the command of Dark Night, the suspicious target is from the ...... of Dragon City."

…………

The fifth piece of ancient jade appeared.

At the same time that Li Ba got the news, Lan Ruoping also received relevant information, and hurriedly took Lan Yan and Huangfu Yuxiu to say goodbye and leave. Although Lan Yan wanted to stay, she couldn't resist her sister-in-law, so she could only tell Li Ba that she would come back tomorrow.

Ancient jade is very important to Li Ba. Therefore, this ancient jade is his ambition.

However, it didn't take long for the two former brothers-in-law to call and tell them about Gu Yu's current situation. On the phone, there is a lot of long-winded chase, but in the final analysis, there is only one sentence. The errand entrusted by Li Ba was not completed, and if you want to obtain this psychic ancient jade, you must go through auction.

Of course, there is another way, as long as Li Ba can convince the Seven Great Families, this psychic ancient jade will naturally be in his pocket. However, according to Shangguan Yiyang, I'm afraid it's very difficult.

The reason is very simple, if the magical energy contained in the ancient jade does not exist, Li Ba will give certain benefits, and the seven families will definitely let go. Now, this ancient jade contains the energy of 'enlightenment', which is incomparably abundant, and can stimulate the talent of the newly awakened, which is of great importance.

I'm afraid any family will not give up easily!

Li Ba is very aware of the importance of the so-called 'Enlightenment' energy contained in ancient jade to the major families. After thinking about it again and again, he called Yuan Danqing and invited the head of the Yuan family to come over for dinner at noon.

The intention was very simple, he wanted to find out the tone of the Yuan family.

Around noon. The father and son of the Yuan family came as promised. Li Ba set up a table in the staff cafeteria, and the dishes were all taken from Huameng's specialties, which was very hearty.

At the large round table, only the three of them sit. There is also Liang Jie serving on the side.

When Li Ba raised his wine glass. Yuan Danqing smiled and said, "Brother, let's get down to business first, and it's not too late to drink!" ”

"Good!" Li Ba nodded. The other party is refreshing, and he doesn't beat around the bush, and tells his heart truthfully.

"Brother Li, I won't say much about the importance of this psychic ancient jade...... However, no matter how precious the psychic ancient jade is, with the relationship between you and me, it is no problem for my Yuan family to withdraw from the auction, and even do my best to help my brother win this ancient jade, there is also a discussion! Yuan Danqing expressed his attitude.

"Thank you!" Li Ba was overjoyed when he heard this. With this support, the chances of obtaining ancient jade have greatly increased.

"Brother, don't thank me yet!"

Yuan Danqing shook his hand and began to analyze Li Ba: "Among the ten major forces in Dragon City, the Martial Sect has the strongest background, but this time Daoyin Valley has already released its words and will not participate in the auction of Psychic Ancient Jade." As a result, there are only nine left. ”

After a pause, he continued: "The Xuanyuan Society and the Illuminati Society, these two are non-governmental organizations, and their financial resources are definitely not comparable to you and my seven major families, so they can also be excluded!" ”

Li Ba nodded after hearing this. He understood what this person meant, and the key was the Seven Great Families.

"The Ning family is good friends with my Yuan family, and the child of Chengjin is also very close to his brother, so if I come forward to say something, the Ning family should back down...... Of course, the elder brother also has to give some blood, so that the Ning family can get some rewards! ”

"Brother Yuan, rest assured, the heart that should be expressed, Li will not be less!" Li Ba said. He already had a preliminary plan in his heart to compensate the family for retreating.

Yuan Danqing nodded after hearing this, and then, his tone began to be solemn: "The remaining five major families, I can be sure, including the Shangguan family, the proprietor of the auction house, are all determined to obtain this psychic ancient jade, and if you want to persuade them to back down, the chances are very slim!" ”

"I can give them enough items in exchange for something that will make them happy!" Li Ba said. The five Blue Immortal Battleships that he had been storing in the bracelet space could finally come in handy this time.

"I believe in my brother's abilities!"

Yuan Danqing nodded, then changed his tone, and said, "However, I can tell you for sure that even if you take out the most precious items, they will not give in this time!" ”

"Why?" Li Ba couldn't react a little.

"Uncle Li, the reason is very simple, who made you the head of the Great Council of the Huameng!"

Yuan Feng interjected beside him. However, it was his words that suddenly made Li Ba wake up.

"There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country!"

Yuan Danqing did not beat around the bush at this moment, and said bluntly: "Brother, your Huameng is so large, it has already become a problem for the council. To tell the truth, a few days ago, the council had passed a resolution to try to bring Huameng under the command of Longcheng! ”

After a pause, he added, "Of course, the council can't be strong against you. Brother, you dare to go to North China alone with a group of guards and come to Dragon City to do business, it can be said that you are not a fierce dragon. Even if there is some noise, but the mainstream opinion of the council is to negotiate with you to discuss the possibility of Huameng annexing Dragon City! ”

Li Ba touched his chin after hearing this, but did not say anything. Long Cheng regarded himself as a Chinese orthodox and wanted to annex Huameng, which did not surprise him. Even, he could tell from Yuan Danqing's tone that if it weren't for the jealousy of the people in power in Dragon City, they would have used tough measures against him.

Instead of letting him set up shop in the city to do business, give convenience, and maintain a cooperative relationship as he is now.

In the final analysis, it's all about strength. If Huameng is weak, the people in power in Dragon City will not give him a chance to sit down and negotiate at all.

It's right to be ambitious. However, if ambition is used in the wrong place, it may poke a hornet's nest.

Although Dragon City is strong, Huameng also has its own hole cards. Not to mention anything else, the Talisman Tower he built with huge resources was not for people to see. The inside and outside of this tower are engraved with the 36 runes of Xiao Zhoutian, which can be defended by the power of the mountain and the leylines, and can be attacked by absorbing the free vitality of heaven and earth. It is the most powerful rune array that Li Ba knows.

Once this tower is activated, the attack power that bursts out in an instant cannot be resisted even by a ninth-level evolution powerhouse.

As long as Li Ba doesn't nod, whoever violates the Huameng will kill himself!

"Of course, I also know that it is very difficult for a strong man to let the foundation you have worked so hard to build belong to Dragon City, brother!"

Yuan Danqing saw that Li Ba's face was uncertain, and he was not sure what he was thinking, his tone changed, and he said, "If you don't talk about attaching to it, I suggest that my brother don't need to participate in the auction this time, wait until which one wins, after exhausting the ancient jade 'Enlightenment' energy, you can go to discuss again, as long as you can afford the price, it is not difficult to get it!" ”

The idea given to him was to retreat as advance. I have to say, it's a great idea. But Li Ba couldn't wait, or rather, he didn't want to make a fuss.

"Brother Yuan, Huameng is under the command of Long Cheng, but it is not that there is no room for negotiation...... The point is, how to attach? Li Ba said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
