Chapter 209: Drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle
At dawn, the sky was hazy, the heavy rain had stopped for days, and a faint white mist drifted from the mountains in the distance, like a ribbon.
Wang Qing walked towards the brightly lit main building, the moisture in the air was extremely heavy, and just a cup of tea wet his eyebrows.
Wang Qing blinked his eyes and felt a burst of dampness, the mountains in the distance fluttered, and the undulating black mountains loomed in the clouds and mist, like a fairyland, but Wang Qing had no intention of appreciating it.
He subconsciously slowed down, looked at the magnificent and huge main building, and couldn't help muttering in his heart
"Why did Master Meng call me over so early, and specially told me to go to see him quietly?"
Wang Qing frowned, the news of Lord Ye's retreat had already come out, Meng Yuan was now the acting person of the Flame Alliance in the Qingyu Pavilion, how could such a big man have a lot of opportunities, how could he specially meet him as an ordinary member of the Qingyu Pavilion
He quickly went through his recent actions, but he couldn't even detect where he had committed a taboo.
This reason is not for him to be cautious, the situation in Bingyang Mansion has been turbulent recently, even if he is just a small shrimp in the Qingyu Pavilion, he can feel the turbulent undercurrent in it.
On the tenth day of the first month of January, Han Jiulong suddenly announced the dissolution of the Eighteen Cities Alliance, and only five days later, Han Jiulong led the core elders of the alliance to join the Flame Alliance in a high-profile manner.
On the same day, the news of the death of Lu Wanjian, the chief patriarch of the Blood Alliance, suddenly came back to the pavilion, it was said that he died of exhaustion in Fushan City when fighting against ghosts, and the entire Qingyu Pavilion was silent, no one dared to question it, and even the Lu family of Jiugong City acquiesced in this fact.
The Blood Alliance was in chaos in an instant, and various families withdrew from the Blood Alliance one after another, and in just two days, the Flame Alliance, which had no match in the past, disappeared.
At this point, more than seventy percent of the condensation families in the entire Ice Ocean Mansion had all joined the Flame Alliance, but the Flame Alliance's actions had not stopped
Wang Qing thought of the frequent changes in the Azure Jade Pavilion these days, and his face was even more ugly.
"I just made a contribution to the adults, Lord Meng shouldn't embarrass me, maybe there is some secret task for me to do, yes, it must be so"
Wang Qing thought of his previous contributions, and his heart was a little fixed, but when he thought of the people in charge who had been constantly replaced everywhere these days, a worried look still flashed on his face.
Wang Qing entered the main building with his heart, and there was a black-armored soldier on duty at the door, his expression remained unchanged, and he walked up the stairs leading to the third floor as usual.
Walking to the second floor, he glanced left and right, and found that there was no one else, so his body flashed, and he quickly walked towards the left side of the second floor.
Wang Qing had already come to Meng Yuan's room once last time, and the armorer guarding the door seemed to recognize him, and when he saw him coming, he directly let him in.
"My subordinate Wang Qing has seen Lord Meng"
Wang Qing bent down and saluted, looking at the golden-robed man above, the man's expression was a little pale, his eyes were a little dark, and he looked like he hadn't slept for a few days.
"No one found out that you came to me" Meng Yuan put down the letter in his hand, looked at Wang Qing in a black robe, and said softly
"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates know the severity, and absolutely no one will find the traces of my subordinates," Wang Qing bowed.
"Sit down, tea on the table, pour it yourself"
Meng Yuan picked up the glass bowl on the table, which was already cold white fungus lotus seed soup, he frowned, but still ate it.
Meng Yuan ate by himself, Wang Qing was not easy to sit down, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, but as soon as the tea was in his mouth, his face changed.
Meng Yuan seemed to notice Wang Qing's expression and chuckled
"Strong tea, relieve fatigue"
"Adults work hard for my Qingyu Pavilion day and night, they are really a model for us, but adults should also pay more attention to rest," Wang Qing hurriedly replied
"I can't rest, I'm pressed with a lot of things" Meng Yuan sighed lightly, and continued to drink the white fungus lotus seed soup.
Wang Qing picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, but was relieved in his heart, looking at Lord Meng's posture, it shouldn't be to cut himself off, and under the relaxation of his heart, Wang Qing suddenly felt that this strong tea also had a bit of sweetness
Meng Yuan drank the lotus seed soup in a few sips, and Wang Qing also hurriedly put down the teacup and sat up straight.
He was originally going to listen to the task that Meng Yuan gave him, but who thought of Meng Yuan's first words made his heart suddenly tighten
"I heard that you have a grudge against Li Jiang, the deputy envoy of the Bird Division?" Meng Yuan looked at Wang Qing at the table with a faint expression.
Wang Qing's face changed suddenly, Li Jiang and him naturally had an enmity, Wang and Li were both well-known families in Bingyang Mansion, and he was the chief envoy of the Qingyu Pavilion Poultry Division, so the Li family would naturally not be satisfied.
On weekdays, the two also have many disputes, but the two sides are equal in terms of family background, and they also stabilize Li Jiang in terms of domestication technology, and the Li family has no way.
As the chief housekeeper of Qingyu Pavilion, how many major things does Meng Yuan have to deal with every day, why does he pay attention to such trivial matters as the Bird Division, and why does he secretly call himself over, the more Wang Qing thinks about it, the paler his face becomes, and his forehead is already covered with cold sweat at some point
"Could it be that the Li family and the Flame League have set up an alliance, and Meng Yuan is going to replace me now, no, even if this is the case, there is no need for Meng Yuan to go out in person, the five elders in the cabinet have already joined the Flame Alliance, and a deacon of the Bird Division can remove me by direct order."
Thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, but the deacon never understood Meng Yuan's intentions
Meng Yuan looked at Wang Qing, who was pale, but he didn't urge, just looked at each other calmly
"The lowly post and Deputy Envoy Li both serve the cabinet, there may be some conflicts in the way they act, and they must pay attention when they go back" Wang Qing pondered the sentence and looked at Meng Yuan above cautiously.
"In other words, you do have a grudge," Meng Yuan said in a calm voice
"Humble duty, humble duty......" Wang Qing suddenly stood up from the chair, cold sweat slipped down his forehead, but he no longer dared to deny it, Meng Yuan was obviously here again this time, if he denied it again, it might directly anger Meng Yuan.
"That's easy" Meng Yuan stood up and looked at Wang Qing who was standing with his head down.
"You prepare, move your relatives out of Jingping City, and the positions in the cabinet are also ready to be handed over," Meng Yuan said calmly
Wang Qing's body flickered, and his eyes suddenly darkened, Jingping City is the city where his Wang family is located, Meng Yuan not only wants him to hand over his position, but also has to give up the city, this is to kill everything.
"My lord, spare my life, Wang Qing has been raising birds in the pavilion for eight years, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, what is the crime in me Wang Qing alone, please let go of the humble family" Wang Qing's feet were soft, and he was about to kneel down in front of Meng Yuan.
However, before he could kneel, Meng Yuan had already reached out to support him.
"Don't worry, you have made a contribution to the Flame Alliance, no one wants to kill you, I won't, and neither will the Flame Alliance" Meng Yuan said flatly
Wang Qing raised his head and looked at Meng Yuan with a pale face, if it wasn't for his death, why did Meng Yuan arrange it like this.
"Sit down first" Meng Yuan couldn't help but say, pressing Wang Qing on the chair.
He walked to the chair opposite and sat down, looking at the surprised Wang Qing with a serious expression.
"There are some things I want to explain to you, this matter is not allowed to be revealed by anyone except you, even parents, wives and children, and brothers, you can listen well......
Half an hour later, Wang Qing walked out of Meng Yuan's room and walked on the corridor in a trance.
His face was still pale, but his expression had become a little more calm, and he had lost his initial panic.
Meng Yuan's words just now kept echoing in his mind, and several soldiers of the Pavilion Guard Army hurriedly walked past him and walked directly towards the end of the corridor, there should be some new news to report.
The sound of empty footsteps echoed in the corridor, Wang Qing finally came to his senses, he glanced back at the end of the corridor, then gritted his teeth and strode downstairs.
Meng Yuan's meaning is the meaning of the Flame Alliance, and now no family in the entire Bingyang Mansion dares to go against the will of the Flame Alliance, and his Wang family is naturally no exception.
A hint of fierceness flashed in Wang Qing's eyes, since he couldn't refuse, he could only follow Meng Yuan's intention and inform the family to prepare as soon as possible.
Meng Yuan sat on the armchair, his eyes flickering slightly
"The Bird Division, the Treasury Division, the Deacon's Office of the Communication Hall, and all the important places in the cabinet have been replaced by our people, so there should be no problem."
"The Pavilion Army has Pang Nian, but the Pavilion Army has always been directly under the control of the Pavilion Master, and it is difficult to say how much effect it can have in the end."
"All the masters above the transformation of the Bingyang Mansion have joined the Flame Alliance, and seventy percent of the masters of the Condensation Realm have also joined the Flame Alliance, but although the integration has been completed, the time is too short, and these later families, especially the original blood alliance families, are likely to be at both ends of the snake and mouse."
Meng Yuan frowned, he hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, Guangcheng Mansion was not far from Bingyang Mansion, and it was not close to it, if the Tianyuan master hurried with all his might, he might be able to reach Bingyang Mansion in half a month.
The Flame Alliance had to rule the entire Bingyang Mansion before the arrival of the new Pavilion Master, and Meng Yuan and the Flame Alliance elders hurried to finally complete the integration of the Bingyang Mansion before the arrival of the new Pavilion Master.
"What can be done has been almost done, the entire Bingyang Mansion, including the Qingyu Pavilion, are all our people, even if it is the pavilion master, if no one listens to the order, it will be difficult to move an inch" A trace of fierceness flashed in Meng Yuan's eyes
Meng Yuan's words are right, not right, if it weren't for Ye Cheng breaking through the Tian Yuan Realm, even if the Flame Alliance mastered the power of the entire Bingyang Mansion, it would not be of the slightest use, the Tian Yuan martial artists could use force to break all their arrangements, in fact, it was precisely because of Ye Cheng's name that Meng Yuan and they could integrate the forces everywhere so smoothly.
"There is one last step, and then we have to release the news of the new pavilion master of the Qingyu Pavilion, and then Bingyang Mansion doesn't know how many twists and turns will happen" Meng Yuan sighed lightly.
The core elders of the Flame Alliance have concealed the news of the new pavilion master's appointment for more than half a month, and the entire Bingyang Mansion has been kept in the dark until now, but there is no way to hide the news anymore, and the new pavilion master of Guangcheng Mansion is about to arrive.
Tuk tuk, there was a knock on the door
"Lord Meng, the five elders please come over, the treasury has already begun," the black-armored knight said outside the door
"Well, I'll go," Meng Yuan replied softly
He poured himself a cup of strong tea and drank it all, the bitter taste of the strong tea made him feel refreshed.
Meng Yuan patted his cheeks, got up and strode towards the door, which was the final blow of the cauldron.
