Chapter 57: The Hong Family Woos
The next day, Zhao Ya came to the dart game early as usual, planning to take a turn, meet the head of the dart, and then go home to practice if there is nothing to do.
But today, as soon as he entered the backyard, he heard someone talking in the house.
"Mr. Meng, our Hong family can give you this condition is enough to prove our sincerity, so I hope you should make a decision as soon as possible, after all, the current situation is becoming more and more chaotic, and bandits are rampant outside the city."
"Even if you have a little fame in this Changlong dart game, it is difficult to be alone, it is better to directly join my Hong family's camp, and you can also gain hope in this troubled world."
The person who spoke was obviously very eloquent, eloquent, and seductive.
Zhao Ya, who was standing in the courtyard, heard this, and his heart moved.
As one of the three major families in the inner city, the Hong family is very strong, and it used to be the largest customer of Changlong Dart Bureau.
Listening to the meaning of these words now, the Hong family obviously hopes that the Changlong Dart Bureau can join their camp.
This matter is related to the future of the entire dart game, and it is closely related to himself, so Zhao Ya pricked up his ears and listened, wondering what kind of attitude the chief dart head had.
After a moment of silence, I listened to Meng Lei.
"Thank you for the kind invitation of the head of the Hong family, but our Changlong Dart Bureau really has no intention of joining any camp, we just want to eat with our own skills, so we ...... Please forgive me! ”
"Well, since Mr. Meng insists on refusing, then I won't be embarrassed anymore and leave!"
Seeing that the wooing could not be achieved, the tone of the person who spoke became cold and hard, and he got up directly to say goodbye.
Zhao Ya walked under the eaves of the porch to watch, and saw three people walking out of the house.
The leader was a middle-aged man with long robes and large sleeves, a wisp of goatee under his chin, dressed as a scribe.
But Zhao Ya noticed that this person's pace was steady, his eyes were shining, and he was at least a second-realm martial artist.
As for the two people who followed him, their palms were red and their fingers were short and thick, they should be masters of cultivating iron sand palms.
Zhao Yamu saw the three of them go away before turning around and entering the house.
Meng Lei was sitting on a chair drinking tea at this time, and when he saw Zhao Ya coming in, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"You just heard it all out there?"
Zhao Ya nodded.
Meng Lei sighed, "Alas, over the years, relying on the strength of my three realm martial artists to mediate between the forces of all parties, just to avoid being too deeply involved with a certain party, relying on this strategy, our Changlong Dart Bureau has been developing safely until now." ”
"But I didn't expect to be targeted by the Hong family in the end, although I rejected it now, but the troubled times have begun, and our dart game will be difficult in the future."
Zhao Ya was silent.
Because he knew that what Meng Lei said was his heartfelt words.
The strength of this world is respected, even Meng Lei, who is a martial artist of the Three Realms, is not allowed to be free, and has to carefully maneuver between the forces of all parties in order to achieve a balance.
This method may have worked well in the past, but today's increasingly chaotic world has upset this fragile balance.
"Will the Hong family stop there?" Zhao Ya asked.
Meng Lei shook his head, "I don't know, but no matter what, they still have to give me the face of the Three Realms martial artists, so I estimate that after this incident, they will have to stop for a while." ”
Zhao Ya nodded, got up and was about to leave.
At this moment, Meng Lei suddenly asked, "How have you been entering the country recently?" ”
Zhao Ya didn't dare to say that he had already forged the membrane, but only said that he had entered the realm a little, but it was still too early to be promoted to the third realm.
After listening, Meng Lei sighed slightly.
"Actually, I also expected this to be the case, after all, now that the supply of Qi and Blood Pills has been cut off, and the flesh and blood of the alien beasts are gone, relying on the little remaining Great Tonic Soup, it will definitely not be able to supply your cultivation needs. It's good that you can improve in this situation. ”
"It's a pity that this situation is eroding too quickly, if it is a year at night, if the supply of Qi and Blood Pill is sufficient, with your talent, you may really have hope of impacting the Three Realms, once you are successfully promoted, there are two Three Realm martial artists in charge, even if the Hong family wants to move the dart game, you have to weigh it."
"It's a pity......." Meng Lei sighed again.
Zhao Ya also felt a little heavy in his heart.
Even according to his current entry, if everything goes well, it is only possible to hit the three realms once a year ago.
I don't know if it's going to work out or not.
Once the impact fails, you will have to re-accumulate qi and blood, which will take at least another month.
This is still because Zhao Ya has the subtle talent of Mizutani to be so fast.
If this is an ordinary person, you will have to prepare for at least another year of qi and blood after a failure of an impact.
Moreover, the success rate of the second impact is much lower than that of the first time, and the success rate after the third impact is even more minimal.
Therefore, cultivators are very cautious about impacting breakthroughs, and many people are often prepared for three or five years before they can impact breakthroughs.
This also shows how powerful the subtle talent of this water valley that Zhao Ya has obtained.
After staying for a while, Zhao Ya got up to say goodbye, came to the front yard and chatted with the executioners for a while, and then returned home.
In the next few days, the city was calm, except for the price of food, which rose a lot.
Zhao Ya's strength is also growing slowly but firmly.
Until this day, the dart board suddenly received a dart, that is, this dart caused an uproar in the entire Changlong dart game.
The dart was commissioned by the Hong family to escort back a batch of goods outside the city.
This is a very normal thing, but the key is that the goods escorted and the destination are very sensitive.
The cargo to be escorted is a batch of blades, and the destination is Wrought Iron Villa.
"I think this dart is a little strange, others don't know about our affairs with the Wrought Iron Villa, don't the Hong family know yet, and why do you suddenly escort a batch of blades at this sensitive time?" Lin Sheng took the lead in saying.
Luo Qiang, who was sitting on the side, also nodded in agreement.
"That's right, I heard that now the outside of the city has been completely chaotic, and Qingzhuling, which was unknown before, has become a giant bandit, and the official road is abandoned.
Meng Lei didn't say a word, he listened quietly, and he didn't look at Zhao Ya until Lin Sheng and Luo Qiang finished speaking.
"Xiaoya, what do you think about this?"
Zhao Ya sighed, "This matter is obviously the Hong family's temptation, so I mean not to accept it." ”
Zhao Ya directly said what he thought in his heart.
Meng Lei couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "I didn't know that this was the Hong family's temptation, but if we really didn't take it, then the brand of the Changlong Dart Bureau would be invalidated, and then the Hong family would be able to force me to join them even more openly." ”
"But the head of the dart ......." Lin Shenggang wanted to speak.
Meng Lei waved his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "I know what you want to say, but now the dart game has not had a single transaction for several months, and it has long been beyond our means, so we still have to take this dart, as for the situation you are worried about, ......." ”
"This dart will be personally escorted by me, although the owner of the wrought iron villa is a martial artist of the four realms, but we are the dart master who was entrusted by someone to escort the goods, and we are not the ones who come to fight, not to mention that Wei Yu is also the fault of the wrought iron villa first, so it should be fine, as for the bandits along the road, ......."
