Chapter 35: Alliances
Hearing this voice, Wang Hao felt goosebumps all over his body. Viscount Red Lotus is probably born with the ability to disgust people, every move, every smile, and every gesture has a huge lethality, which makes people uncomfortable at a glance.
It's also a talent.
But now Wang Hao is full of curiosity about this Red Lotus family, if the purpose of the Red Lotus Viscount is really the same as he expected to guess, this kind of person might as well make friends.
Wang Hao transmitted a mental fluctuation to the phantom brain who was washing dishes outside the tent, and asked it to welcome the red lotus in.
Soon there were several footsteps outside the tent, the curtain of the big tent was opened, and a bewitching-looking man came in from outside the door, it was Honglian.
Looking out from the unopened curtain, Honglian didn't bring many people, only the leading master of the 7th order during the day followed, and the master consciously didn't follow up the tent, stopped in front of the door, and stood outside the door guarding with his back to the tent gate with his arms in his arms.
"Look at this kid, report any changes at any time."
Wang Hao gave instructions to the phantom brain, the other party's intention was unknown, the damage that a seventh-order master could cause was too great, Wang Hao would not rest assured that he would be allowed to move at will. Although the magic brain is not good at combat effectiveness, it is also a sixth-order spiritual ability, and it is not a big problem to keep an eye on someone.
As soon as Honglian entered the door, she opened her arms widely, and wanted to give Wang Hao a hug with enthusiasm on her face, and said loudly: "Brother Wang, the ancients said that if you don't see me, you don't deceive me, you want to kill your little brother." ”
Wang Hao swallowed his saliva, and directly used his agility ability to dodge to the side, making Honglian hug the air.
Just kidding, if he really hugged him, Wang Hao estimated that he wouldn't be able to get rid of this disgusting thing after taking a bath for three days and three nights, and he was afraid that he would have to scrape off his skin with tiger teeth.
Seeing Wang Hao dodge away, Viscount Red Lotus was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and said with a thumbs up: "Brother Wang's ability is really extraordinary, he can toss and turn in such a small space, I'm afraid that his agility has reached the fourth order, right?" ”
Wang Hao was a little surprised, this Red Lotus Viscount was really not as incompetent and absurd as he appeared on the surface, and his eyes were very sharp.
In addition to the Pupil of Insight, there are only two possibilities to be able to see the opponent's true ability level: either this person's own strength is too much higher than the opponent's, or he has experienced a hundred battles and has seen countless opponents, so he can sum up his experience.
No matter which point it is, it shows that this Red Lotus is by no means a character to be messed with.
Wang Hao's fingers slowly stroked over the handle of the tiger tooth knife, and said lightly: "Lord Red Lotus, I almost can't help but want to kill you, you give me a feeling that you are a madman, a hidden madman, and may pose a threat to me at any time." ”
Viscount Red Lotus's face changed, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, waving his hand again and again: "Brother Wang, misunderstanding, I can see that your ability level is purely because of the family secret method." ”
Another family secret?
Wang Hao sneered: "You Red Lotus Family has quite a lot of secret methods. ”
After speaking, he took out seven ghost head nails and weighed them up and down in his hand, and said, "Seal superpowers? This gift is too heavy, this kind of anti-heaven thing is willing to give away, do I mean you are stupid, or is your plan so far-reaching that I can't even see it? ”
"There is no free lunch in the world, you gave me such a good thing, I am afraid that the value I will return to you in the future is far more than this, I am a little country baron, but there is nothing valuable."
Viscount Red Lotus shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Wang treats me and those guys with eyes and beads as a kind of person, you are not a small nobleman from the countryside, I am afraid that the person who thinks so will die a long time ago." ”
"Yes or no, I don't have anything of value except for this life, so it's better to hold what I can get my hands on."
After speaking, Wang Hao raised his hand, and a few nails flew towards the Red Lotus Viscount, the speed was not fast, and it was not lethal, just a second- or third-order ability was easy to follow.
In the Pupil of Insight, Viscount Red Lotus is a master with sixth-order abilities, and Wang Hao estimates that even if he really fights, Red Lotus may not be afraid of himself.
Unexpectedly, Honglian stood in place stupidly, neither dodging nor reaching out to pick it up. Poof, poof, a few nails actually hit Honglian's face directly, Honglian screamed, covered her face and squatted down, scratching her ears and cheeks in pain.
The curtain of the big tent was opened, and the seventh-order master of the Red Lotus family stepped into the tent, and when he saw this scene, he drew out the calyx long sword on his waist.
"Get out! It's none of your business here! Honglian covered her face, grinned in pain, and waved her hand behind her.
The master guard looked at Honglian and then at Wang Hao, without saying a word, turned around and went out again.
Wang Hao sat down, casually dragged a low stool from his side and threw it in front of Honglian, motioned for him to sit too, stared at Honglian for a long time, and then said, "I said Honglian, you don't have superpowers?" ”
Today is really a big surprise, the pupil of insight, who has never made a mistake, actually made mistakes again and again.
Viscount Red Lotus took out a white handkerchief embroidered with bright red peony flowers from his arms, first wiped his face, and then carefully wiped it on the small bench surface several times to ensure that there was no trace of dust on the stool, and then reluctantly sat down with half of his buttocks, and sighed deeply with a bitter face.
Even Honglian sighed, Wang Hao felt uncomfortable, too fucking complaining, like a resentful woman who had been married for three years and still had no break, thinking of her husband who was looking for flowers all the year round and asking Liu not to come home.
Honglian said: "Brother Wang, we are all understandable people, and I won't hide it from you, what does my Honglian family do for a living, I'm afraid you already know, right?" ”
Wang Hao nodded, it is true that everyone understands people, and there is a benefit to understanding that people speak, many things do not need to be explained, everyone tacitly understands it, and there is still a way out.
Honglian continued: "The people who did this in my family, starting from the ancestors, have left a lot of strange methods for thousands of years, some of which are purely deceptive, and some of which are indeed more mysterious and can have effects that cannot be explained by science. After the new era, the family combined secret methods and superpowers, conducted research, and constantly improved, often with unexpected effects, even only in the original novel. ”
Or a research-oriented institution, Wang Hao smiled secretly and asked, "Where are you going to rob tombs these days?" And what does this have to do with whether you have superpowers? ”
"Tomb robbing?" Viscount Red Lotus waved his hand and laughed at himself: "This is just one of the side jobs, my family uses feng shui supernatural science to build a family, robbing tombs, but sometimes money is tight, and occasionally it is just for it." As for my superpowers, they have to do with tomb robbing. ”
Wang Hao nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"Hey, the ancestors don't accumulate virtue, digging graves." Viscount Red Lotus slapped his thigh heavily: "In my generation, it's probably a bad retribution, obviously I have superpower genes, but I can't exert my power, and it's no different from an ordinary person." ”
"What does it have to do with me?" Wang Hao picked up the ghost head nail on the ground and finished it in his hand, shook his head and said, "I can't help you, you can't get close to me." ”
Viscount Red Lotus mysteriously took out a gadget that was not much bigger than a grain of rice from his ear, wiped it with a handkerchief and handed it to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao took it and looked at it, in the shape of this thing, it looked like a shrunken hearing aid or something, and the workmanship was extremely exquisite.
"Communicator or bugging?" Wang Hao asked.
"The communicator for the Red Lotus family's dedicated channel."
He snorted angrily outside the tent and said, "Those buns know that they are showing off their power on their own one-third of an acre, and the dogs are squinted by the interests in front of them like grabbing food." My Red Lotus family is different, a marginal family like ours that is not on the table, has not fallen for thousands of years, and there is a marquis in the new era, so naturally we have to have some means to know which people cannot be offended. I have my intelligence system, if even the people from the Zhenhai Marquis Mansion are provoked, it won't be looking for death. ”
When Viscount Red Lotus said this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a strange smile: "If Brother Wang, you are interesting to Miss Su Mo, my Red Lotus family will also support you!" Su Mo's little girl, no matter her appearance and family background, is top-notch, if Brother Wang can get her hands, the entire southeastern state will go sideways. ”
Wang Hao understood the intention of the Red Lotus Viscount, this was to make an investment, to invest in a newly rising nobleman they were optimistic about, the price paid was far smaller than that of the big nobleman who had already become famous, but the gain was huge.
An inconspicuous marginal family, if you want to stand, you must have a huge network of relationships under the water, maybe you will ignore it in normal times, but once you want to attack it, you will find that there are countless strong secret resistance that forces you to not be able to do it at all.
"Don't forget your Red Lotus family then?" Wang Hao asked lightly.
Unexpectedly, the Red Lotus Viscount shook his head and said cautiously: "No, my actions only represent myself, representing the one hundred and thirty-five people in my family in the Red Lotus family, and not the entire Red Lotus family." ”
"That is to say, if you press the wrong treasure, at most you will be unlucky, and the entire family will not be involved, on the contrary, my reward will only be for you personally." Wang Hao nodded, as expected, he was a child of a family who played politics, and he thought about the problem very thoroughly.
"Exactly!"
Red Lotus stretched out her hand to Wang Hao very seriously, and said, "From now on, I, Viscount Red Lotus, will be the most staunch ally of the Wang family!" In addition to the core secrets of the Red Lotus family, I can provide the Wang family with all the intelligence assistance and financial assistance I have at hand, and if necessary, I can even dispatch the forces subordinate to me to directly provide you with military assistance! ”
"What do I have to pay?" Wang Hao asked.
Viscount Red Lotus changed his usual absurd image, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Get strong as soon as possible!" When you are Brother Wang, no one in the southeastern states dares to despise you, and then you and I will form a more intimate relationship, and the help we can give to each other will be greater. ”
"A more intimate relationship?" Wang Hao subconsciously moved his body backwards, and Viscount Red Lotus's eyes were very hot, which made Wang Hao feel weird.
But he didn't shake hands with Red Lotus.
"A marquis's heir, most of the resources of a viscount, is indeed very tempting for me at the moment, but I have two problems."
"Brother Wang, please speak."
"First, if my intelligence is not wrong, you should already be the first heir of the Red Lotus Family, and you still need me, an ally who has no ability for the time being, what is the purpose?"
"Second, why choose me? With such favorable conditions, I am afraid that with your resources, you can only choose one person to form an alliance, and there are many outstanding young people in the southeastern states, why me? ”
Maybe Red Lotus will lie, but Wang Hao never worries about others lying, because a lie that is enough to be believed must be true.
Wang Hao only needs to distinguish which ones are true and which ones are lies, and then he can make his own decision.
