Chapter 34: In the Shadow of the Behemoth
As one of the top ten talkers in Xinyi'an, Yu Fengchao used to be so beautiful, but because he offended the Huo family, he finally fled in a hurry, and his power and territory were swallowed up by his colleagues.
But even so, Yu Fengchao, who was forced to flee to the countryside of Hong Kong Island at that time, once confidently told people that in less than half a year, he would definitely return to Central.
And at the moment, he fulfilled his promise.
Now Yu Fengchao has returned to Xinyi'an, and he is the right-hand man of the dragon, and his status is much stronger than before.
Feng Shui takes turns, that's it.
Of course, this is also due to the illness of Huo Yingying, the head of the Huo family on Hong Kong Island, as his body becomes worse and worse, his control over the outside world is gradually losing and weakening, which makes Yu Fengchao, who was originally like a "thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh", return to Hong Kong Island Xinyi Anli without worrying about the interference of the Huo family.
got into the car, sat in the million-dollar luxury car, and after we greeted Yu Fengchao, he took us away, followed by two cars, which were his entourage.
Ma Yiao asked about Yu Fengchao's situation, and the boss laughed, saying that the Huo family is now a little difficult to protect itself, where can they still take care of him.
We inquired deeply, and only then did we learn that Huo Yingying and Li Aiguo fought the Heart Eater Demon that day, and the injuries they received were not simple.
He was devoured by demonic energy that day, and he was not cured until a long time later.
The disease has been tormenting him, making his mental will deteriorate day by day, and now he is terminally ill.
This underground emperor, who once made countless heroes fearful, is now almost gone.
This wedding is probably his last public appearance.
And the holding of this wedding will also mean the transfer of power to the Huo family on Hong Kong Island, and the Huo family on Hong Kong Island will also transition from the Huo Hero era to the Huo Jing era, but Huo Jing, who is young and not too famous, can support such a big plate of the Huo family, the outside world is generally not optimistic.
After all, although the Huo family started in business, in the final analysis, it is still the Jianghu family.
Inside, however, there are many cultivators and nightcrawlers who eat in it, and these unruly and powerful characters will not recognize a cowardly and weak head of the family as the leader.
They need stronger leaders, or they will be doomed to be abandoned in this age of the jungle.
The Jianghu family has to abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes.
So this wedding, it's quite good-looking.
Hearing Yu Fengchao's gloating complaint, Ma Yiao asked him, "What do you dragon heads think?" ”
Yu Fengchao said: "For a long time, the Huo family has regarded Xinyi'an as their own land, but Xinyi'an has developed to the present, and the gang with hundreds of thousands of members must have their own demands, even if the Huo family is our big water hose (the back-the-scenes financier), but it can't change anything." Therefore, Xinyi'an's biggest idea at present is to break away from the direct control of the Huo family and change from a subordinate to an equal collaborator......"
Ma Yiao said: "Can this matter be done? ”
Yu Fengchao replied: "It's man-made, of course, the most important thing is to look at the real strength of the Huo family in this wedding, if it's just a weak giant, then the dragon head will not hesitate to take a stand; But if the Huo family still has the same control ability as before, then even if the dragon leader is ambitious and ambitious, he has to succumb to the situation and hold back that heart that is about to move. ”
Hearing his explanation, I realized that there was so much attention behind this wedding.
Xinyi'an is only one part of the forces under the command of the Huo family on Hong Kong Island, and more people must be in such a wait-and-see situation.
Faced with such an intricate mind, Huo Erlang, what would he do?
Thinking about this, I can't help but feel a wave in my heart.
At this time, Ma Yiao asked, "What news have you received about the bride?" ”
We have asked Ah Shui to help inquire, but Ah Shui tried his best, but he didn't get any useful information, this time, the Huo family on Hong Kong Island has adopted extremely strict confidentiality regulations for the other party of the newlywed, so until now, we don't know who the bride is.
Obviously, the Hong Kong Island Huo family estimates that they will wait until the wedding three days later before the final announcement of the results.
And this will also be one of their hole cards.
What kind of bride would be worthy of them as a hole card to show the strength of the Huo family? I have a lot of worries about this matter, and I am a little uneasy along the way.
Obviously, this has had a lot of impact on my cultivation.
So even if I wasn't invited, I would take the initiative to come and find out.
Yu Fengchao is on Hong Kong Island, and he is also a high-level personnel of the local snake Xin Yi'an, he knows more news than us, he glanced at me, and then said: "The speculation about the bride has also been in an uproar these days, and there are three common speculations, one of which is the green sprout girl who helped Huo Jing give birth to Lin'er, and the other is Miss Qin Liluo Qin, who once had a marriage contract with Huo Jing but left halfway, and the last one may be a marriage to stabilize the status of the Huo family, as for who the marriage object is, I'm not so sure......"
Really......
Hearing Yu Fengchao's story, my heart jumped, thinking that Qin Liluo might indeed be a candidate for bride.
This incident makes people a little uneasy.
According to Qin Liluo's previous state, it is impossible for a little girl with only the memory of being a teenager to want to get married, and if Qin Liluo really regains her senses, it is impossible for her to ignore my feelings and come over to form a pair with Huo Erlang.
However, although I think this matter is absolutely impossible, in the dark, there is always a premonition that that that person is very likely to be Qin Liluo.
This feeling of gaining and losing makes me very uncomfortable.
Is it possible, I have to rob my relatives for the second time?
Yu Fengchao didn't understand my feelings, and continued to analyze: "Green Sprout, she is the biological mother of the third generation of the Huo family, and it is said that the little boy was born with a different appearance and is very loved by Huo Yingying; As for Qin Liluo, after all, she is the festering person of the Vermilion Bird Inner Dan, and her cultivation path is definitely comparable to that of ordinary people, so if it is her, she will definitely be able to deter most people with abnormal minds; And in the end, it is a marriage, this method, although practical for the Huo family, is also easy to lead to the fall of power and the rise of relatives......"
Of course, all of the above is speculation.
If you want to know the final candidate, you can only know the situation until the wedding scene three days later.
Or, let's go and meet with Huo Erlang in advance and let him talk to us in person.
Thinking of this, I asked, "Huo Erlang, how did he come back?" ”
Yu Fengchao shook his head and said I don't know, this matter is very weird, the second son of the Huo family in the legend should have been buried in the sea, everyone said that the Huo family may be in trouble this time, maybe they will recall the exiled boss, or pass this great family business to their son-in-law, but I didn't expect this Huo Jing to come back when he said that he would come back, there was no sign at all - I went to the Huo family with the dragon head the day before yesterday and saw him in person, according to my observation, it is indeed him, it should not be an impostor, but ......
Ma Yiao asked, "Just what?" ”
Yu Fengchao said: "You should all know my ability, true eye, this is an exaggeration, but I can see part of the hidden truth, and this Huo Er Gongzi, compared with before, he seems to have changed a lot, I always feel that this person is a little wrong, not like a living person......"
Not like a living person?
I was a little surprised, saying that it doesn't look like a living person? What do you mean by that?
Yu Fengchao shook his head and said I can't talk about it well, in short, I feel that the dead air around his body is even richer than his old man.
……
We chatted in the car, and unconsciously arrived in the city, Ah Shui came over this time, and there were many things on his body, so he got off the car in advance, and we were taken by Yu Fengchao to a quite distinctive restaurant near Central, he chartered the entire second floor, and gave us the wind and dust.
The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they pushed glasses and changed lamps on the wine table and chatted about the past.
Halfway through the wine, Yu Fengchao received a phone call, saying that there was an urgent matter and needed to be dealt with immediately, so he would not accompany us, and then called someone to take us to the hotel to stay.
But we also know that man, which is Armand.
He is the son of Yu Fengchao's best friend, he used to work in the Huo family, and when we were hunted down, he still lived in his house for several days.
It stands to reason that although he is a grassroots person, he is the core of the Huo family, and it is impossible to break away from the Huo family, but now he has come out directly and followed Yu Fengchao, which shows that the control of the Huo family has indeed gradually declined.
Of course, that's what we want to see.
After all, Huo Yingying did not die, and the order to hunt and kill us has always existed.
Unless Huo Erlang takes power, it will be completely changed.
That night, we stayed at the Peninsula Hotel, and we didn't say anything all night, and the next day Ma Yiao and I simply cleaned up, and then went to the outlying islands, ready to meet the former life-saving benefactor Jiang Miaozhu.
