Chapter 153: The Arrival of the Parties
Lin Liang turned his head to look at the four figures beside him, three men and one woman, two of whom Lin Liang had seen before. "The woman is naturally Wu Xiu'er who just ridiculed Lin Liang, and she is not surprised that Wu Xiu'er ridiculed Lin Liang, with her own grievances with the other party, Wu Xiu'er smiled at herself, it was an accident!
The appearance of one of the other three men surprised Lin Liang a little, this person was He Wenxu, who was with Wu Xiu'er in the trading market, and the son of He Guangzong, a fourth-order smelter. Although he was a little puzzled that the other party could actually appear here, but after thinking about it, Lin Liang shook his head again, the other party was able to be here, which obviously showed that he met the requirements, otherwise the two ministers, Hei Kai and Fang Yu, would not say nothing.
Here, He Wenxu saw Lin Liang looking at him suspiciously, and instantly shook his head again, and remembered his father He Guangzong's warning to him, so that he must not provoke Lin Liang, and the more depressed he was at the moment, he looked at Lin Liang unwillingly, but at this time, Lin Liang had already turned his gaze to the other two people he didn't know.
Compared with Wu Xiu'er's sarcasm and He Wenxu's angry gaze, the reactions of the other two were relatively flat, the taller one of them smiled faintly at Lin Liang, although he didn't speak, Lin Liang could indeed feel the kindness in his smile, while the shorter one ignored Lin Liang's gaze, but looked at Wu Xiu'er and He Wenxu beside him with some disgust, as if standing with these two people was an insult to himself.
At that moment, Lin Liang observed the four people in a circle, and then turned his eyes to Hei Kai and Fang Yu, the two ministers of the Shangyang City branch, and never said a word.
Hei Kai was also annoyed by what Wu Xiu'er said, he couldn't have imagined that this granddaughter of his would say such things on such an occasion and at such a time and place. At the moment, looking at Lin Liang's faint gaze and Fang Yu's questioning gaze on the side, Hei Kai had to glare at Wu Xiu'er fiercely, and then said with a smile: "It's good that Little Brother Lin is here, speaking of which, a few of us have just arrived, so it's not worth waiting!"
Saying that, Hei Kai waved his hand and pointed at the four figures beside Lin Liang and said, "Let me introduce, Little Brother Lin, these four are the smelters of the Hegu City Branch of the Shangyang City Branch who represent our Shangyang City Branch like you, and the outermost one is our Minister Fang's personal disciple, Yan Yu, and beside him is Xue Hua, the personal disciple of Master Bangu!"
"Lin Liang has seen Brother Yan and Brother Xue!" Hearing this, Lin Liang hurriedly saluted these two people, and finally understood why Yan Yu would convey kindness to him, Yan Yu and Xue Hua saw Lin Liang saluting him, and naturally a little good feeling rose in their hearts, and the two of them saluted Lin Liang in unison: "Yan Yu (Xue Hua) has seen Brother Lin!"
Hei Kai saw that Lin Liang's first acquaintance with Yan Yu and Xue Hua was not bad, and his heart was also slightly stable at the moment, and when he was about to continue to introduce Wu Xiu'er and He Wenxu to Lin Liang, Lin Liang suddenly smiled and said: "These two don't have to worry about Master Hei Kai's introduction!"
Saying that, Lin Liang said lightly: "This girl must be the talented Miss Wu Xiu'er who is rumored outside, right? Master Hei Kai's own granddaughter is really in the same line!" After speaking, Lin Liang turned his gaze to He Wenxu and said: "Master He, we met again, I didn't expect He Gongzi's talent to be so outstanding, it's really better to see than to hear!"
As soon as the words came out, He Wenxu's face suddenly became ugly, and others might think that they were praising He Wenxu when they heard Lin Liang's last sentence, but He Wenxu himself knew what Lin Liang meant. Since he was confirmed as a candidate to participate in the two competitions, his father, the fourth-order smelter, He Guangzong, had spent a lot of effort to wash his reputation outside, shaping himself into a gifted smelter with a clean net. And Lin Liang's meaning is that instead of listening to the reputation he has created outside, it is better to see his true situation in person.
And Wu Xiu'er's face on He Wenxu's side is not very good-looking, Lin Liang's words to her seem to praise, but in fact it is a little ironic, saying that she Wu Xiu'er is talented, so what kind of talent is Lin Liang, who has refreshed the record of the Shangyang City branch?
However, Hei Kai and Fang Yu, the two ministers of the Shangyang City Branch, did not know what happened to Lin Liang, He Wenxu and Wu Xiu'er in the trading market, and they were all a little satisfied with Lin Liang's words, after all, these four people were personally selected by them.
Hei Kai was even more satisfied with what Lin Liang said, his own granddaughter sneered at Lin Liang when he first came, but Lin Liang praised the other party so much, which made Hei Kai, the older generation, also feel that there was light on his face, and he was even more firm in his heart at the moment to match Wu Xiuer and Lin Liang.
The expressions of Xue Hua and Yan Yu on the side were a little different, unlike Hei Kai Fangyu, the two ministers who had a lot of opportunities, Xue Hua and Yan Yu were very clear about the grievances between Lin Liang, He Wenxu and Wu Xiu'er, especially Xue Hua, who was unhappy with He Wenxu and Wu Xiu'er, and at this time, the two of them who heard the taste of Lin Liang's words looked at Lin Liang with some incredulity.
Obviously ridiculing the two of them, but the two ministers didn't see anything wrong, for Lin Liang's speaking skills, Yan Yu and Xue Hua only had one word in their hearts - "Serve!" And Xue Hua looked at Lin Liang with a hint of admiration, because seeing He Wenxu and Wu Xiu'er were unhappy, Xue Hua often argued with these two people, and it was only in this way that Xue Hua knew how difficult these two people were, and it was because of this that Xue Hua began to worship Lin Liang who made He Wenxu and Wu Xiu'er deflated.
Fang Yu was a little different from what Hei Kai thought, although Lin Liang's attitude was very satisfying, but Fang Yu always felt that there seemed to be other grievances between Lin Liang, He Wenxu and Wu Xiu'er, but now it was about to come to the agreed time for discussion, and Fang Yu didn't want to worry about these little things now.
At that moment, Fang Yu said bluntly to Lin Liang and the five people: "I believe that everyone present should already know the matter of our Shangyang City Branch and Hegu City Branch, and I have something to tell you when I call you five together today!"
Hearing this, everyone was awe-inspired, even He Wenxu, who was angry, and Wu Xiu'er, who was in an unhappy mood, were waiting for Fang Yu to speak with a solemn face at this time. Seeing this situation, Lin Liang also sighed a little in his heart, no matter how big the shortcomings of these two people are, but they can indeed do so in the face of foreign enemies, the Shangyang City branch and the fire refining are not simple! At this moment, Lin Liang also looked at Fang Yu solemnly.
Seeing that the five of them were all looking towards him, Fang Yu said in a deep voice: "According to the news I have obtained, the smelters of the Hegu City Branch will arrive in Shangyang City at noon tomorrow under the leadership of Li Dongshui, the sixth-order smelting master of the Hegu City Branch, although our Shangyang City Branch and the Hegu City Branch have always been at odds, but after all, the location of this meeting is in our Shangyang City, so when the time comes, you will all go with me to the city gate to meet the team of the Hegu City Branch!"
Fang Yu's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he was not ready to give the other party a dismissal first because of the relationship between the two departments, which fully reflected the tolerance of the Shangyang City branch, and also made Lin Liang have a deeper understanding of this minister, who already had a lot of good feelings.
"However," Fang Yu's words suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "The venue of this competition is set in our Shangyang, as our home field, we can only accept victory! But if you are defeated and defeated by your opponent in your own home, I think everyone should understand the meaning of this sentence, right?"
Although the last sentence was a question, but for Lin Liang and the five people, it greatly inspired their hearts, at this moment, no matter how many big grievances there were between them, their eyes were full of only the imperative of victory!
"Okay, that's all I have to say, you guys go back and prepare, remember one thing, don't let Shangyang City's twenty-year wait continue!" Seeing that the blood in the hearts of the five people had been stirred by their own understated words, Fang Yu nodded and waved everyone away.
Walking out of the minister's room, the five of them were silent, and they each arched their hands and left, but He Wenxu and Wu Xiuer were close to Lin Liang's ears when they left, and each left a sentence, the words are naturally different, but the meaning is surprisingly consistent, that is, the two parts of the exchange are important, and all grievances are left until the end of the two-step discussion!
Lin Liang naturally has no opinion on this, but at this time, Lin Liang has some other opinions in his heart about He Wenxu and Wu Xiuer.
At noon the next day, that is, the day of the two divisions set by the Shangyang City Branch and the Hegu City Branch, Lin Liang, Yan Yu, Wu Xiuer, Xue Hua, and He Wenxu were under the leadership of Fang Yu, the head of the Shangyang City Branch, and Hei Kai, the deputy minister, waiting for the arrival of the Hegu City Branch at the gate of Shangyang City.
After a while, I saw two flags fluttering towards Shangyang City, everyone looked at it, and the flag was painted as a stream of water, which was the symbol of the Hegu City branch, and the sharp-eyed Lin Liang saw that the aura revealed by the two flags was actually stronger than any Yuan weapon he had ever seen, and he secretly said in his heart at the moment: "As one of the eight branches of the Instrument Alliance, they are all profound!"
