Chapter 818: Throw a bait
"The list, Hong Tianbao will get it. Zhang Nan replied indifferently to Xue.
In the past, no matter what Zhang Nan did, Indifferent Xue would not ask. But this time the situation was different, and the cold snow was more than I thought before. At first, I couldn't bear it, but after a few days, I couldn't bear it anymore.
Ordinary people undercover must be cautious and get things done step by step. Zhang Nan also thought so at the beginning, but there was such a scene in the teahouse, and even the Vulcan Gun was erected, how could he continue to keep a low profile.
So, Zhang Nan simply didn't do anything, and came to a simple and rude way. Let Hong Tianbao find a reason to gather all the relevant families and have a spoonful of stew. As for whether the other party will hand over the list, Zhang Nan has never been worried.
Before making a big deal with the Hong family, Zhang Nan knew almost nothing about the "shadow". But after this incident, I already have a general understanding in my heart.
No matter who the other party is, there must be some doubts about his identity. Otherwise, the Hong family would definitely not sit idly by and watch such a big deal against the Holy Envoy. In the end, it was so big that it could be seen that there was no attempt to stop it at all, and it may even be planned by the other party.
The opponent is not terrible to be cunning, but he is afraid that he will not know anything. Since he was suspicious and wanted to find a flaw, Zhang Nan sent him a flaw. As long as the other party wants to confirm Zhang Nan's identity, he will definitely cooperate with Zhang Nan's actions temporarily.
Under the deliberate impetus of the shadow, Hong Tianbao easily got the important list. But after getting the list, Hong Tianbao had a headache.
Hong Tianbao had been mentally prepared for the list before, but when he saw the name on it, he was still shocked.
In addition to the four major families, there are a total of thirty first-class families in the entire Qiongzhou. But on this list, there are thirteen. Coupled with the names of those second-rate or even unheard of third-rate families, almost half of the family power in Qiongzhou is on the list.
The temple is so terrible that it has stretched out its hand so long.
The frightened Hong Tianbao actually didn't know that the shadow gave him the list and wanted to give him this kind of misdirection.
The list is true, but it is far from being as terrifying as Hong Tianbao imagined.
Those families had dealings with the temple, received benefits from the temple, and worked for the temple. But not all of them, like his Hong family, maintained close ties with the temple throughout the year. A considerable number of them have done for the temple very often, and some of them are even old accounts of the older generation.
Shadow had a more detailed list there, but he wasn't going to take that list out. gave Hong Tianbao this hodgepodge, just to see what tricks the so-called holy envoy was going to play.
Hong Tianbao found Zhang Nan nervously, took out the list, and briefly explained the situation.
"Well, got it. Zhang Nan didn't take the list at all, but said: "Now that the list is in hand, the martial arts competition in the Black Dragon Mansion can also be held." According to what was agreed in advance, as long as it is on the list, one family will have an invitation. ”
"You, don't you want to take a look?" Hong Tianbao carried the list, only feeling that it weighed 10,000 catties, but Zhang Nan didn't even glance at it.
"What is there to see. Zhang Nandao: "I don't know them, and it's in vain to see them, as long as they come last." ”
The martial arts tournament is the most common group activity in the Eastern Emperor Qiongzhou, whether it is to fight for power and profit, or to show strength, it is very convenient. The Black Dragon Mansion had just had an inexplicable flood in the Canglan River before, and strictly speaking, it owed the public an explanation. Hong Tianbao summons relevant families under this guise, which is reasonable.
For Zhang Nan, in fact, all forms are the same. As long as there is a reason to gather those people, it doesn't matter if Hong Tianbao takes a concubine.
Zhang Nan felt that it didn't matter, but Hong Tianbao felt that it was too much to do.
"My lord, many of the families above are far better than the Hong family. Hong Tianbao carefully considered the words: "Even if I send the invitation, they may not come." ”
The families on the list are all over the north and south of the Qiongzhou River, and they are basically independent. Traveling thousands of miles to attend a conference held by others is considered a cheer, and it is all up to you whether to go or not. Even if it is held by the four major families, they may not all go. What's more, a mere Hong family, even the Black Dragon Mansion can't be regarded as a word, where can there be such a big face.
"It's simple, come up with some attractive prizes. Zhang Nandao: "Fishing needs bait, you should always understand this." ”
Hong Tianbao said helplessly: "Understand is understand, I really can't think of anything that can attract those families." ”
"It's not that you can't think of it, you just don't. Zhang Nan smiled faintly: "However, I have." ”
"Do you have it?" Hong Tianbao looked curious: "What is it?"
............
A few days later.
It's still the dimly lit room, it's still the two of them.
A shadow leaning against a corner, a black robe covered all over.
The shadow is the shadow of the temple, and the black robe is the black robe of the shadow.
"Martial arts competition?" Shadow frowned: "These days are in a mess, the Hong family is preparing for this?"
"Yes. The black-robed man came to the room where the shadow was once more. "All the families on the list have received invitations. ”
"Want to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle?" Shadow guessed a little: "That holy envoy can win the trust of Hong Tianbao, and naturally he can also win the trust of others. For those families, the presence of the Holy Envoy in person must be more convincing than my agent. It's a good idea, but it's stupid. I'd like to see how many families can accept the invitation. ”
"This, it may all come......" The black-robed man swallowed with difficulty: "Because the prize of this martial arts competition is a magic weapon." ”
"What?" the shadow almost jumped: "Magic weapon ?!!"
Of course, the martial arts competition must have a colorful head, and it is generally a martial arts weapon or the like, if there is a spiritual treasure as a prize, it is definitely a big scene. But using magic weapons as prizes is unheard of.
The magic weapon, born and raised, is extremely powerful, and it is something that even the Anti-Void Realm will covet. Now the well-known magic weapons in Qiongzhou are all in the hands of the Anti-Void Realm without exception. And this does not mean that there will be no anti-imaginary realm, but there is no certain strength, and they dare not let people know at all.
But now, Hong Tianbao actually took the magic weapon out to make a color head? !
"What is it?" asked Shadow.
"I don't know. The black-robed man said: "There is no mention on the invitation. ”
"The Hong family doesn't have a magic weapon, it should be provided by that holy envoy. The shadow pondered, "In this way, the Holy Envoy is probably true. Aside from the temple, I really can't think of anyone else in Qiongzhou who has such a skill. ”
"Master, are you sure that the magic weapon really exists?" Although the black-robed man came to deliver the letter, he didn't dare to believe it until now: "Could it be fake?"
"Probably not. The shadow was worried: "Such a big thing, if it is fake, the Hong family will not release such news." Otherwise, just the saliva of those families would be able to drown the Black Dragon Mansion. It's just that in this way, it is really possible for this martial arts conference to be held by them. ”
The black-robed man thought for a moment and said, "Master, since you have confirmed that the Holy Envoy is true, you should not be tempted again, and meet you directly." Even if there is some misunderstanding, it must be able to be said. ”
"The suspicion has not been ruled out, and it is still not 100% confirmed. Shadow said: "Until the truth of the battle in Black Dragon Gorge is revealed, everything is unknown. ”
"You're too careful, too. The black-robed man was a little helpless: "Although there are some people who know the temple, the more people who know, the more they know the power of the temple." Even the Beihai Bai family didn't have the courage to pretend to be a holy envoy. ”
"It's not that I have to be so cautious, it's that reality doesn't give me a chance to make mistakes. The shadow shook his head, "I work for the temple, but I'm not a temple person." Although I don't want to carry such a burden, I can't resist it. It is a natural duty to do what the temple tells us to do. But if something goes wrong, you know what's waiting for me. ”
The black-robed man was silent for a long time, then nodded, and said, "Your subordinates understand, then what are you going to do?"
The Hong family really doesn't have that weight, and they are anxious for so many families to come to participate in the martial arts competition of the Black Dragon Mansion. But if there is a magic weapon as the lottery head, the result will definitely be different.
Although it was not announced what kind of magic weapon it was, basically no one doubted the existence of the magic weapon. Because the Hong family invited too many families, even the four great families would not dare to talk nonsense about this kind of thing. Taking a step back, even if there is doubt, those families will send someone to see what is going on.
If this news spreads, maybe the family outside the invitation card will send someone to come.
The shadow thought for a moment and asked, "Are there any specific requirements for the tournament?"
"There are no restrictions, only the participation of martial artists who have passed through the Law Realm is compulsory. I don't know the reason for this request, but you won't be able to play. The black-robed man seemed to understand Shadow's plan, and said, "But in this realm, I can find some good hands." ”
"You go ahead and arrange it. The shadow said, "I should be able to leave here before the tournament." If the situation changes, I will look for you. ”
The two didn't say it explicitly, but they thought of each other.
At that time, the major families will come because of the magic weapon, no matter what the holy envoy plans in the end, this lottery must be cashed out, and it must be through the form of a competition. Then the easiest way to deal with it is to send someone to participate in the competition and get the first place.
Neither of them is sure that this matter is not as simple as a simple competition, but since the form is this, it is always impossible to make some layout arrangements first.
There was nothing wrong with the layout, but they were wrong.
What Zhang Nan has to do is outside the martial arts competition. But as far as the tournament itself is concerned, it's really that simple. For the first place reward, Zhang Nan never thought that he would break his promise.
Because of this martial arts competition, Indifferent Snow will participate. Zhang Nan will also participate.
