Chapter 175: The Lord of Wanhua Mansion
readx;? Wanhualou is the only place in the entire seven thousand miles of desert in the southwest that is not affected by the power of Lou Zong. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoAlthough it is said that this is just a business, but if the business can be done to the point that even the court and the sect dare not intervene, then this business is too arrogant, right?
Even the fools who are locked down know that Wanhualou is not a borderless place, on the contrary, he not only has a master, but its owner is also a person with a prominent status who can override the lord of the closed city and even the sect master of the Lou Sect.
This character has been a mystery throughout the Southwest, and there is no rumor about his identity in the market anyway. As for whether this person is a high-ranking official or a powerful person in the sect? Then no one really knows.
And it is such a legendary character, who actually came to Wanhualou tonight, and stood alive in front of everyone, how could he not cause shock and commotion among these people?
"Is Your Excellency really the master of Wanhua Tower?" Yang Ling looked at the man wearing the golden phoenix mask suspiciously, and then asked, "Or is someone here playing tricks and pretending to be ghosts?"
"In my Wanhualou, no one dares to pretend to be a ghost in my name!" the middle-aged man chuckled, and then he slowly turned his head to look at the white-faced old man with solemn eyes, and said faintly, "This ancestor, did you say that what I said was right?"
In the face of the middle-aged man's words, the white-faced old man did not answer, but just stared at the middle-aged man silently, never saying a word. No one could understand what this attitude of the white-faced old man meant.
"All the losses of Wanhualou today, my Lou Sect will compensate tenfold!" Lou Yi held the mind that he would rather believe it than believe it, and said faintly, "But since your Wanhualou is opening the door to do business, then please follow the rules of the business field!"
"Oh, I don't know what rules in the business field Sect Master Lou is talking about?" the middle-aged man asked with a smirk.
"Tonight, the ninth floor of this Wanhua Building has been taken over by my Lou Sect, and what I do here is also the freedom of my Lou Sect, although I don't know why Your Excellency suddenly appeared here, but please don't disturb this sect master to do things!" Lou Yi said with a pale face.
"Do what, what do you do?" the middle-aged man looked at the Wanhualou singer who had died in a pool of blood around him, and said in an unhappy tone, "I'm in business, if you kill someone here with me, then what will I do in the future?"
"Could it be that there are still fewer lives in your Wanhua Building?" Lou Lei shouted angrily, "How many dead people are a fart? I will ask my disciple to clean this place for you early tomorrow morning, and I will guarantee that it will not delay your business! Moreover, our sect master has already said that my Lou Sect is willing to compensate ten times for all the losses in Wanhua Building today! I think you just want to come here tonight to make some money, right?"
"Ten times the compensation?" the middle-aged man smiled lightly, "Of course, Lou Zong's wealth has been heard of a long time ago, not to mention that the benefits you Lou Sect Master did tonight are far more than the ten times compensation given to me." Hehe...... Sect Master Lou, am I right?"
The middle-aged man's words made the eyes of Lou Yi and Lu Yifan change at the same time, Lou Yi's eyes became a little panicked, and Lu Yifan's eyes became a little excited. It seems that the truth about why Lou Yi insisted on chasing and killing Lu Yifan, this Wanhua landlord also knows something.
"Who are you?" Don't want to play tricks in front of this sect master!" Lou Yi shouted angrily, the injuries in his body already made him feel weak, he originally wanted to end up with Lu Yifan early to go back to recuperate, but he didn't want to kill such a number one person in the middle of the way.
"Who am I? I'm just a businessman who does my duty!" said the middle-aged man with a light smile.
As soon as the middle-aged man said this, Lu Yifan suddenly heard an extremely familiar scene in his mind, and then he suddenly remembered who the owner of this voice was.
At the same time, the middle-aged man slowly reached out to take off his golden phoenix mask, and when Lu Yifan saw the face that this person revealed after taking off the mask, the speculation in his heart was finally confirmed most powerfully.
"Sure enough, it's you, Mr. Qi!" Lu Yifan exclaimed in surprise.
Yes, this person is the mysterious businessman who had a relationship with Lu Yifan in the Western Imperial City, Qi Shan.
"How could it be ......" At this moment, not only Lu Yifan was surprised, but even Mu Dan also had a lot of doubts, "You are obviously the owner of this closed city Wanhualou, but why did you ask us that day......
"Hehe, Qi has a lot of business, how can he be all-encompassing?" Before Mu Dan could say the following words, Qi Shan was the first to grab the words, "Although Wanhualou is Qi's business, I really don't hide it from you, this is the first time I have come to this southwest place!"
Mu Dan is also an extremely smart person, she saw Qi Shan interrupt her words, and realized that Qi Shan didn't want to let her leak the conversation between them that day, so she simply didn't say more.
"Your own business is in full swing in the lockdown, but this is the first time you've come here as the owner? This kind of thing is ......," Yang Ling said with a surprised expression.
"Actually, this kind of thing is not completely impossible!" The white-faced old man who had been silent finally spoke after seeing Qi Shan's face clearly, and the most surprising thing was that the white-faced old man not only opened his mouth, but also stood up and smiled at Qi Shan and bowed politely, this kind of greeting does not happen often on the white-faced old man, which is enough to show how good Qi Shan's identity is," Mr. Qi's business is all over the Holy Domain, and the Wanhualou in the locked city is just an insignificant business in Mr. Qi's business!
"This ancestor is right, it's enough to leave a small deal like Wanhualou to his subordinates!" Qi Shan was not modest, but just responded politely to the white-faced old man.
"This ......" For a while, the change in the situation in the hall made everyone a little confused.
"It seems that this person is really the owner of Wanhualou!" After seeing the attitude of the white-faced old man towards Qi Shan, Lou Lei's arrogance suddenly withered a little, and he just muttered a few words and stopped making a sound.
"Since Mr. Qi and the ancestor know each other, then today's Wanhualou Clan, my Lou Zong is willing to compensate for the loss of today's Wanhualou!" Lou Yi is still very familiar with the wind and rudder, when he saw that the relationship between the white-faced old man and Qi Shan was not shallow, his attitude immediately turned a 180-degree turn.
"Sect Master Lou is polite!" Qi Shan smiled lightly and waved his hand, "It's just that Qi Mou came here today, but he didn't ask Sect Master Lou for any compensation!
"Mr. Naqi, this is ......"
"It's not a secret, I'm here to be entrusted by someone, and I specially implore Sect Master Lou to show mercy to his subordinates and let Lu Yifan's son go!" Qi Shan said bluntly.
"Hiss!" As soon as Qi Shan's words came out, the audience was in an uproar again.
Qi Shan's words were really shocking, he said that he was entrusted by someone, which means that behind the whole thing, there was another person who knew that Lu Yifan would be in trouble tonight, so he specially entrusted Qi Shan to come forward to save Lu Yifan's life. There are two questions here, the first is who has such great ability to perceive Lu Yifan's every move in the southwest desert, a place called heaven and earth is not spiritual. The second is what kind of mysterious identity and status does a person who has the ability to entrust a character like Qi Shan have.
"Mr. Qi was entrusted to come here to save Lu Yifan's life?" The white-faced old man looked at Qi Shan with a surprised face, "Dare to ask who Mr. Qi is entrusted by?"
"Hehe, I think the ancestor may not have understood the purpose of Qi Mou's coming here!" Qi Shan said with a light smile, "The purpose of my coming here is to save the life of Lu Yifan's son, as for who Qi is entrusted by, it doesn't really matter!"
Although Qi Shan's words were simple, the meaning was already very obvious, that is, he didn't want to tell these people who entrusted him.
"This ......" The most difficult person at this moment is Lou Yi, because he is the one who wants to kill Lu Yifan the most. In other words, Qi Shan came to target him tonight, "Mr. Qi, it's not that this sect master won't give you this face, it's just that Lu Yifan has bullied my Lou Sect repeatedly and five times for being incompetent, if you don't kill him today......"
"Sect Master Lou!" Before Lou Yi could finish speaking, Qi Shan was the first to open his mouth and sneered, "Why do you bother to say these grandiose excuses in front of Qi? Although Qi is not talented, I also know a thing or two about why your Sect Master Lou wanted to kill Lu Yifan. Isn't it true that Sect Master Lou wants me to tell everything in front of so many people today?"
"No......" Lou Yi's heart was anxious, but the wound that had gradually stopped bleeding was bubbling out again, "It's not that I don't give Mr. Qi face, it's just that I ...... I also have my own difficulties in this matter, and I hope Mr. Qi can understand!" Lou Yi said that he also turned his gaze to the white-faced old man with a solemn gaze.
"Qi has always emphasized honesty in doing business, since I have already agreed to other people's commissions, how can there be any reason to go back on my word?" Qi Shan said with a smile, "What's more, Sect Master Lou is now seriously injured, I think you should go back and rest, don't argue with Qi here?"
"This ......" Qi Shan's painless words made Lou Yi speechless, he didn't dare to offend this mysterious Qi Shan, and he was afraid that Qi Shan would really tell his true purpose of killing Lu Yifan, so he was also in a dilemma under multiple concerns.
And Lu Yifan, who is the party concerned, has never said a word from beginning to end, although he doesn't know what kind of character Qi Shan is, but at least judging from the current situation, Qi Shan is helping himself out of trouble.
"Hehe, since Mr. Qi has opened his mouth, then I think Lou Yi should give Mr. Qi a face, and also give the old man a face, let go of Lu Yifan, this little baby!" After hesitating for a moment, the white-faced old man finally spoke with a smile, and instead of helping Lou Yi, he was actually helping Qi Shan to speak. This made everyone in the hall have a lot of speculation about Qi Shan's identity again.
"This ...... I...... Alas!" After hesitating for a long time, Lou Yi finally let out a heavy sigh, and then glanced at Lu Yifan angrily again, and then arched his hand at Qi Shan and said, "Since this is the case, then I will give Mr. Qi and the ancestor a face tonight, and let Lu Yifan live for the time being!"
"Thank you, Sect Master Lou, for understanding the righteousness!" Qi Shan replied with a smirk.
"No thanks, but I am also seriously injured today and want to return to the sect to recuperate, please forgive the old man for missing him!" Lou Yi was extremely annoyed, and prevaricated a few sentences casually, and then with the support of Lou Mo and Lou Chang, he left the ninth-floor hall with Lou Lei and all the Lou Sect disciples, and disappeared into the stairs in the blink of an eye.
"Huh...... The sect master of the Lou Sect doesn't know Mr. Qi's name, if he is offended, I hope Mr. Qi will not blame!" The white-faced old man arched his hand to Qi Shan with a smile, and then opened his mouth and said, "Since the matter is over, the old man will no longer be closed and stay in the city, I still have important things to do, so I will leave!"
"Ancestor is good to go!" Qi Shan didn't stay, and still greeted politely.
The white-faced old man nodded in agreement, then glanced at Lu Yifan again, and said meaningfully: "Lu Yifan, if there is a fate, you and I will definitely have the opportunity to meet again in the future!"
"Maybe!" Lu Yifan didn't have a good impression of the white-faced old man, so he only said a few perfunctory sentences.
"Haha......" The white-faced old man was not the slightest annoyed by Lu Yifan's rudeness, but laughed a few times, and then nodded at Qi Shan again, and then disappeared into the lobby in a flash, and everyone only felt a gust of wind blowing through the window, and then dissipated into the night sky outside the window.
For a moment, no one in the lobby opened their mouths to speak, and everyone was silently thinking about their own affairs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have nothing to do, please go back and rest!" Qi still has something to say to Lu Gongzi!" Qi Shan unceremoniously drove away these city lords who wanted to stay to satisfy their curiosity, and under the personal 'escort' of Yin Xi and a group of Wenyang warriors, these city lords could only leave Wanhualou one after another with their own people.
After a cup of tea, only Qi Shan and the others were left in the nine-story lobby, as well as Lu Yifan, Liu Sandao, Xie Yun and Mu Dan, and Han Ling'er and Ji Yuan were also carried to the guest room below by Qi Shan to recuperate and rest.
"Thank you Mr. Qi for saving me today, and Lu will never forget it!" Lu Yifan thanked Qi Shan.
"Qi Mou is just entrusted by someone! Someone has made a deal with Qi Mou, and wants me to save your life from Lou Zong's hands, Qi Mou is just doing things according to the transaction!" Qi Shan smiled lightly, "And the remuneration I receive is also extremely high, so you don't have to thank me!"
"I'm really curious, who entrusted Mr. Qi to save me?" Lu Yifan asked with a frown.
"And although Lou Zong didn't get any benefits this time, I expect that with Lou Zong's temperament, Lou Yi will inevitably retaliate against Lou Yi in the future! Even if it is to vent this evil breath, many innocent people will die!" Xie Yun said with a worried face, all that came to his mind at this moment was the tragic situation of Wenyang City, "I really don't want the tragedy of Wenyang City to repeat itself in the lockdown again......" Saying that, Xie Yun's hand holding the spear became tighter.
"Yes, even if we leave, that Lou Sect is still an out-and-out overlord of the southwest, won't this one of our hard work become a farce with no beginning and no end?" Mu Dan nodded and agreed.
"No! I vowed to kill the five tigers of Lou Zong to avenge the people of Wenyang, but now I have only killed one Lou Cang, but there are four others who are still at large, scourging the southwest!" Lu Yifan became more and more angry the more he thought about it, he hated that he could not raise his sword to catch up now.
"Now that Lou Yi is seriously injured, and the mysterious white-faced old man has also left, it is a good opportunity to start, otherwise, ......" Liu Sandao looked at Lu Yifan with a wicked smile, "I chased after them and ended up with them!"
"Hehe, I don't think it's necessary!" Just when Lu Yifan was about to nod his head in agreement, Qi Shan suddenly smiled confidently, "By tomorrow, there will be no Lou Sect in the Holy Domain!"
As soon as Qi Shan's words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
