At this moment, the Li family's hall is full of Li family people who have put down various businesses and gathered together.

The five people at the top had different expressions, three of them were not angry and solemn, and the other two were a little lazy, but no one dared to give an opinion.

Because they are the real talkers of the Li family.

From the middle of the statue on both sides are the head of the Li family, the left main hall master, the right main hall master, the civil hall master and the co-political hall master.

They are responsible for a series of things related to the city, such as people's livelihood, trading, politics, and seats.

The Li family is one of the de facto rulers of Heyun City, and the family power is extremely large, and its tentacles cover everything in Heyun.

The candles burned and crackled, tinting the dark hall with an undetectable yellow glow.

The dozens of people below sat honestly and silently, like good babies in class.

The head of the family, Li Yuanzong, held his chin, a little careless, and he was the first to speak: "Routine meeting, let's start." ”

As he spoke, the three people sitting in front of him immediately straightened up and began to report on the family form in the past few days.

The man in the center bent down and said: "The head of the family, the family's acquisition of farmland and land outside the city has accelerated, and under ideal conditions, it is expected to reach a control rate of seventy percent or more between April and May this year, but the family guest always believes that the Zhang family will become an obstacle on this road, if the Zhang family obstructs it, the family acquisition will be frustrated, and the monopoly will be postponed indefinitely. ”

Li Yuanzong didn't even think about it for a moment, and immediately said: "The part of the army controlled by the family is open to you to have some command, and before May this year, if the control rate is still less than seventy percent, it's good to come to me with your head." ”

"Yes!" The questioner sat down.

The man standing to the right of the first reporter saluted to the five people above and said, "My lord, the disturbances in the slums in the city have become more and more intense recently, and the family guest believes that it should be strictly controlled, otherwise it is very likely to shake the reputation of the family, which is not conducive to the family's continued management of the resource areas on the outskirts of the city. ”

Li Yuanzong yawned boringly, and the master of the Xiezheng Hall understood and reprimanded: "What is the matter of the slums? Isn't that the area where the out-of-town gangs are managed? If the gang outside the city is not well managed, the family will naturally do the right thing for heaven, as for now, let's wait and see. ”

"My subordinates understood." The speaker, standing on the right, nodded lightly and sat down slowly.

The reporter on the left immediately took over the topic: "The head of the family, the northern defense area has retreated, and the erosion of the evil is becoming more and more serious, although the family has recruited a large number of death squads and exorcists, but the situation is still not optimistic, the family guest Qing believes that if the situation continues, the evil will not take two years to spread to Heyun City." ”

"What do you think should be done?" Li Yuanwu, the hall master of the left main hall, opened his eyes, and the surging majesty rushed towards him.

The reporter on the left swallowed lightly, and hurriedly replied: "The subordinates think that the army and the exorcists on the left side should be mobilized to give priority to ensuring the safety of the north side, and now the pressure on the left side is extremely low, and a large number of troops and exorcists have nothing to do, so they should be used to resist temporarily!" ”

Li Yuanming, the hall master of the right main hall, is a lean man, wearing a brown master's clothes, he brushed his non-existent beard, his eyes showed a fine light, and he looked like a scheming and calculating: "It's small, the pattern is too small, if it was a few months ago, although your strategy was simple, it was still practical, but now, it's difficult." ”

Looking at the reporter's puzzled face, Li Yuanming sighed, and then said: "This matter should not be mentioned here, but you should have known it and prepared early." ”

Li Yuanwu suddenly glared, and his words carried a strong coercion: "Yuanming, you can't say anything about this matter!" ”

Li Yuanzong waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay." ”

Li Yuanming nodded, the attitude of the head of the family had long been expected by him, while Li Yuanwu snorted a little unwillingly.

"A leader has emerged from the midst of evil." Li Yuanwu's voice was cold and calm, as if he was saying that he would have braised pork for dinner today.

But his words made the hearts of the dozens of people sitting down below tighten, and inexplicable fear rose.

Although they were already panicked in their hearts, the rules of the Li family made them only silent, everyone was sweating on their foreheads, and their faces were extremely ugly, but they could only remain motionless.

The reporter on the left sat back in distraction, he already understood what the hall master meant, and he also understood the seriousness of the problem.

In the past, the Evil had little mind, they only acted on instinct, which meant that they would not take a detour, and even if they were full of obstacles and traps in front of them, they would run headlong and never die. ‘

Humanity has taken more of a step forward with these evil abilities, which have little wealth and intelligence.

The leaders of Crane Cloud City only need to place enough defensive areas in the direction of their advance to greatly alleviate or even completely halt their spread.

But once there is a leader in the evil spirit, then the simple method of detouring and finding the weak point will be extremely effective, not to mention that the current Heyun is already tight, and the weakness in the north has been discovered by the leader in the evil, otherwise it is impossible for the evil to slow down the offensive in other areas and focus on the north.

Li Yuanming tapped on the chair to bring everyone back to their senses, and he said, "This is also related to the next topic." He looked at the woman on the left, "Yuan Yun, it seems that Wanying, this kid doesn't mean to take the initiative to explain." ”

Li Yuanwu also interjected extremely helplessly: "I hoped that this child would take the initiative to come and explain, but it seems that her feelings for the family are still not deep enough." ”

"How can Yuan Yun explain the repeated rebellion of the women of the family?" Li Yuanke, the hall master of the Xiezheng Hall, also spoke in a suppressed voice, and questioned the master of the civil hall.

Li Yuanyun, the head of the civil hall, was the only woman among the five, and in the face of the simultaneous attack of the three people, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and then played with her nails with an indifferent face, without the slightest intention of answering.

Li Yuanming frowned dissatisfiedly: "You should know that at this time, the survival of the family is at stake, and you can't be allowed to pass the test in the dark." ”

Even Li Yuanzong, who had been silent, shook his head and said, "Yun'er, this matter is not allowed." ”

Hearing Li Yuanzong speak, Li Yuanyun rarely stopped the movements of her hand, and her voice was a little hoarse: "The family's treatment of the younger generations of women is obvious to all, why are they rebellious, do you still need me to explain to the eldest brother?" ”

Li Yuanzong then shook his head: "You know what I'm asking. ”

"Hehe, the eldest brother knows the situation of the family well, but he just doesn't want to change, so naturally he doesn't want to listen to the little sister's nagging.

You're asking about Wanying, right? That's right, a daughter of an ordinary family, even if she counts a few guards, should be weak, but such a weakest team can actually walk back alive from behind the defense area, and there is no attrition at all, either the immortal is really found, or someone has taken a shot from it, but big brother, if I really help, don't you know? ”

She exhaled softly: "Besides, I want to live too." ”

Li Yuanzong smiled lightly: "It seems that the little sister has no intention of abandoning the family and living alone, okay, you can step down." ”

The dozens of people sitting down below didn't have time to think, so they immediately retreated, and in less than two sips of tea, the next place was already empty.

"The four strong teams that went to other regions to investigate, their teams were equipped with several exorcists, hundreds of vigorous soldiers, but they were all wiped out, and they came back safe and sound, swaggering, it is difficult not to arouse suspicion." Li Yuanming glanced sideways at Li Yuanyun, and then said, "If it weren't for your second brother, I would have spent a lot of money up and down, but I'm afraid that Wanying's mansion would be full of people from all sides now." ”

"However, Heyun City is not a family word, and the secret itself can't be hidden for much time, among the people who bribed, there are four or five people who are extremely greedy, and they must want to eat double or even triple kickbacks, at the latest every day, as early as tonight, they will tell the Zhang family and the Su family, and the matter will not be hidden."

Li Yuanyun opened his mouth and asked with some puzzlement, "Why is the second brother?" ”

"Do you want to ask why I'm still sitting here, and even have the leisure to question you as an outsider?" Seeing Yuan Yun nodding, Li Yuanming still stroked his non-existent beard, "Since Wanying returned unscathed, if you didn't help her, then there was only one possibility." ”

Li Yuanyun's heart moved.

Li Yuanming smiled lightly and spit out a word that stunned the three of them: "There is a new person in the team that followed Wanying back. ”

Li Yuanwu couldn't believe it, so he could only subconsciously ask: "But Wanying left with four people, and when she came back, she still took four people, where would there be one more person." ”

Li Yuanming shook his head and expressed concern about his third brother's IQ: "Although the number of people is the same, the other guards have obviously been replaced, he is higher, but his sense of presence is lower, if it weren't for the fact that the outer defense area has my Li family's exorcists always paying attention, I'm afraid I would let him get through." ”

Li Yuanyao was a little incredulous, she inhaled softly: "Is he an immortal?" ”

Li Yuanzong, who had been closing his eyes since the family retreated, finally opened his eyes, his eyes were sharp, and they were completely different from the laziness just now: "He is, he must also be!" ”

Li Yuanming kindly translated the words of the eldest brother for several other younger brothers and sisters who were not very smart: "The eldest brother means: The time of the family is running out, the leader of the evil has appeared so far, the pressure on the front line is getting bigger and bigger, and the defense zone is completely breached is just a straw of time, just like us, the more power and wealth we control, the more we don't want to die easily, and now, the possible life-saving straw has appeared, and the family will take everything to please him and make a big gamble, so he will be an immortal, and he had better be an immortal!" ”

Li Yuanzong returned to that lazy appearance: "This matter, let the little sister contact it, remember, lower your attitude, by the way, if this matter is done well, the family's attitude towards each branch of women will also change accordingly, free love, um... Pretty good. ”

The hall fell silent.
