Chapter 148: Conspiracy
When the carriage reached the gate of Xia Linhu Manor, it stopped, and the coachman lifted the curtain on the carriage and said softly: "Young master, it's here." β
At this time, a young man who was gorgeously dressed and looked a little similar to Xia Linfeng and his eldest brother walked out from inside, he was Xia Linfeng's second brother, that is, Xia Yong's second son Xia Linzhi, and walked straight to the manor after getting off the carriage.
The guard standing guard at the door recognized Xia Linzhi at a glance, and immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Second Young Master." β
Xia Linzhi didn't look at them, and said coldly: "Where is my eldest brother?"
The guard immediately said: "Young Master, he is now talking in the study, the little one will go and help the second young master report first." β
Xia Linzhi turned his head to look at the guard, snorted, and said coldly: "No need, do you still need you to arrange where I go?" With that, he raised his feet and walked inside.
Xia Linhu was in the study, listening to the two black-clothed men who fled back tell about yesterday's events, the more he listened, the more angry he became, he sent so many masters and didn't snatch things back, but was wiped out by his third brother, Xia Linhu smashed the table next to him with one palm.
Just when Xia Linhu wanted to scold angrily, Xia Linzhi pushed the door in from outside the door, and said with a smile: "Big brother, why are you so angry, who dares to make the eldest young master of Jiuyue City angry." β
Xia Linhu heard that his second brother's words were sarcastic, and he didn't want him to know what happened last night. Said: "You two get out of here, and I'll settle accounts for you later." The two men immediately crawled out of the room.
Xia Linzhi sat on a chair not far from Xia Linhu, and Xia Linhu said angrily: "What are you doing here? Don't tell you that you came here just to see me angry?"
Xia Linzhi said: "Big brother, we are also brothers, you don't need to be so hostile to me, what's wrong with us two brothers chatting." β
Xia Linhu is now troubled by these things, how can he have time to chat with Xia Linzhi here, and said: "If you just come to chat, then I don't have time, you can go." With that, he got up from his seat and walked out.
Xia Linzhi stretched out his hand to stop Xia Linhu and said, "Big brother." If the two of us are not interested in chatting. So what about the talismans? Are you interested? β
Xia Linhu stopped his steps to take a step, turned to look at Xia Linzhi, underestimated in his heart, and said, "What do you want to say?"
Xia Linzhi said unhurriedly: "Big brother." Now there is no need for us to hide it. Everyone's affairs are also clear to each other. I also know what happened last night, so I came to you, I just want to seek cooperation. β
Xia Linhu sat back in his seat. Hearing Xia Linzhi say this, he said, "Oh, cooperation, how to cooperate? Since we already know each other's affairs, can the two of us still cooperate?"
Xia Linzhi heard Xia Linhu say this, knowing that there was hope, he immediately said his thoughts: "Big brother, we are now facing the difficulty of heavy dΓ , now is not the time for the two of us to have a conflict, from last night you should also see that the strength of the third child is not simple, we used to underestimate him, thinking that he didn't want to join it, and he was not interested in the military talisman, but now it seems that this is not the case, the third child is now accumulating strength, and wants to give us a ruthless time, do we want to let him be slaughtered like this?"
Even if Xia Linzhi didn't say it, Xia Linhu's stomach was full of fire, and the prey that he was about to get his hands on was snatched away by the third brother who he had never looked at seriously, and he wouldn't feel happy when he put it on anyone's body, and now he heard Xia Linzhi mention it again, and said angrily: "Third brother, hmph, look at it, I won't let him go lightly, just say, what is the matter with you coming to me this time?"
Xia Linzhi said with a stern face: "My idea is that the two of us can't let the third child get the talisman when we cooperate, you should also know which of the three of us has a better chance, how do you think the old man will choose?"
When Xia Linhu heard this, he also thought about it, and found that between the three of them, he and his second brother were in a weak position this time, which was still on the basis that the old man didn't know what happened to this qiΔ, if the old man knew about it, their same would be even more slim.
Xia Linhu said: "Then what do you want?"
"My decision is that the two of us cooperate, and wait until the day when the old man announces, if the old man chooses any of the two of us, it will be fine, if the old man chooses the third, then we will work together to snatch the talisman, I believe that with the strength of the two of us, the third will definitely not be an opponent. Xia Linhu smiled and said his decision.
After Xia Linhu heard Xia Linzhi's thoughts, he didn't speak immediately, and thought about it repeatedly in his heart, judging from last night's battle, if he estimated that he would not be the opponent of the third child with his own strength, even if he won in the end, but there was still a second child who was eyeing him, would he keep to himself? Of course, the answer was no.
Xia Linhu had a question in his heart and said, "Then you say, what if the old man hands over the talisman to one of the two of us?
Xia Linzhi looked at his eldest brother, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's my eldest brother, everything can think of this step, but I also thought about it, if the old man gives the talisman to one of the two of us, it depends on personal ideas and skills, if the old man gives the talisman to the third child, then after snatching it, no one will be our opponent anymore, and we can also take it seriously, big brother, didn't you always think that you were stronger than me? β
In fact, this question just now is tantamount to asking in vain, who would give up the rights in front of them, this cannot be said to be cruel, it can only be said that they have seen this qiΔ clearly.
Xia Linhu nodded and said, "Okay, just do as you say, and then it will depend on how the old man chooses." "I thought to myself: I can't fail this time no matter what.
In this way, it seems to be calm, but the mainland is turbulent, everyone has their own ideas, until a few days later, one afternoon, the servant came to tell SΓΉ Lushan and Ye Fei that tomorrow the city lord will be in the city's martial arts arena, announcing the candidate for the next city lord of Nine Moon City.
After the servant left, Ye Fei looked at Lu Shan and said thoughtfully: "This day has finally come, and after tomorrow, it will be calm again." β
Lu Shan didn't speak, just nodded, and everyone looked forward to tomorrow's arrival. (To be continued......)
