Chapter 14: Undercurrents

Xu Linling, who had calmed down, had already begun to entrust the relationship to purchase the medicinal materials that Yang Shaotian had explained, and Yang Shaotian began to feast on the food on the table.

After Xu Linling put down his mobile phone, he looked at Yang Shaotian's eating appearance in some surprise, and then laughed, "I didn't expect you to be so ugly, but I still treat you as a favorite person, a big hero." ”

Yang Shaotian still had a lot of food in his mouth that he hadn't swallowed, he chewed the food in his mouth hard, and then swallowed it with difficulty, before he replied, "I can't climb the eldest lady of the Xu family, how are the medicinal herbs?"

Xu Linling hammered Yang Shaotian with some coquettishness, "Don't call me that, just call me Linling, the medicinal materials will be delivered tomorrow." ”

"So fast!" Yang Shaotian didn't expect Xu Linling's efficiency to be so high, he originally thought that it would take a few days to get it.

"That's natural, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, not to mention that the Xu family hasn't fallen yet, it's quite simple to do this!" Xu Linling still said with some pride, as if this surname had brought her a lot of convenience.

Yang Shaotian took out a piece of paper, wiped his mouth, and said with some envy, "It's so good, it's good to have a big family behind your back, unlike me, I don't even know where my parents have gone, whether they are still alive." There was a bit of self-deprecation in his tone.

Xu Linling realized that this topic seemed to poke at Yang Shaotian's sore spot, so he stopped talking. Yang Shaotian waved his hand indifferently, "It's been so long, I'm used to it, hurry up and eat together, you ordered so many dishes, don't eat and waste it." ”

The relationship between the two in the private room seems to be a little closer.

At this time, in another place in Shanghai, a young man with an obscene face was listening to the man on the phone report to him with an ugly face, He Jia was sent out to trouble Xu Linling, and he was actually beaten by an unknown boy with a punch;

After hanging up the phone, the young man smashed his fist on the table, he was none other than the son of the Hou family, Hou Nancheng, He Jiazheng's father was a martial artist invited by his father to Hudu, and he also heard that He Jiazheng and his senior brother were also very powerful, so he had been entertaining, hoping that the two of them would be used for themselves, but he didn't expect it to become like this now.

"Xiao Cheng, don't worry too much! After next week, we will be the first family in Shanghai, and you can do whatever you want at that time, but at this point in time, you are not allowed to mess around!" Hou Nancheng's father pushed the door into his room at this time and admonished.

Even though there were a thousand or ten thousand unhappy in his heart, Hou Nancheng still agreed respectfully on the surface, "Yes, father, I was too reckless, I will pay attention." ”

His father nodded with satisfaction, and then sat down on the chair, clenching his fists with some excitement, "Next weekend, the Hudu family will compete, and after your grandfather wins the strongest title in Hudu, plus the support of our Lai family, our Hou family will be the first family in Hudu at that time! Not to mention marrying Xu Linling, even if she is forced to come to the door to beg you, what is the difficulty." ”

Hou Nancheng also suddenly brightened up after hearing this, and smiled a little sinisterly, his father's words were right, as long as he sat in the position of the first family in Shanghai and forced the old man of the Xu family to death, he would not only marry Xu Linling, but also lock Xu Linling in the room and humiliate. He had long coveted Xu Linling's beauty, and now he was finally able to wait for the opportunity to taste Xu Linling.

"Hmph, look at how you cry after the end of next week, when the time comes, Lao Tzu will tie you up and play, aren't you arrogant, don't you look down on me, Lao Tzu will let you know who can conquer you. Hou Nancheng's heart was already filled with the joy of victory and lust, and he seemed to be able to imagine Xu Linling kneeling on the ground and begging for his forgiveness, as well as exhaling like an orchid under him.

"And that stinky boy, just let you jump for a few more days, want to be a hero to save the beauty? Like Xu Linling? When the time comes, I will break your hands and feet in front of her, and let her watch you kneel in front of me and beg for mercy, if she is also interesting to you, Lao Tzu will want you to kneel and watch Lao Tzu her!" Hou Nancheng obviously did not let Yang Shaotian go, he had already decided how to punish Yang Shaotian.

Yanjing.

Yanjing's Lai family and Xu family are also in trouble at the moment.

After all, the two families are big families with heads and faces, and Yanjing is located at the foot of the imperial city, and the location is special, so naturally they don't dare to blatantly make a fuss. But the Lai family's policy is to drag the Xu family, as long as the Yanjing Xu family has no way to withdraw to help the Xu family in Shanghai, then the Hou family will rise, and when the time comes, the Lai family, which has the Hou family, the first family in Shanghai, will rise in strength, and the Xu family will lose the power of the Xu family, the first family in Shanghai, and it will shrink significantly; at that time, the five major families of Yanjing will cease to exist, and they will be replaced by the four major families of Yanjing, although it is impossible to monopolize the Xu family, after all, there are three major families in front of them, but the Lai family can also share a lot of assets。 All in all, this kind of thing can be said to be beneficial and harmless, and the Lai family is naturally happy to do it.

But everyone in the Xu family is full of worries, they also know what happened in Shanghai, and the head of the Xu family in Shanghai is still the second brother of the head of the Xu family in Yanjing, and the two have a deep brotherhood, but now the Xu family really has no extra energy to help with the affairs of Shanghai, knowing that the Lai family is making a hindrance but there is no way to tear face, and the other three families have not received a response to asking for help, it seems that these three families also want to sit back and enjoy the success of the Lai family against the Xu family.

Above the hall of the Xu family in Yanjing, an old man in a robe sat on the main seat, sighed, looked out of the door, and said nothing;

The ancient capital of the Seven Dynasties, Kaifeng.

In a secluded house, a middle-aged man who looked like he was fifty years old picked up a pot of tea and leisurely listened to the reports of the people below.

"Hudu Hou family, hehe, what kind of thing is the Hou family. Now this situation is very difficult for the Xu family in Shanghai and the Xu family in Yanjing, but even if there is a dependent family, as long as the Xu family in Shanghai does not fall, the Xu family in Yanjing will not be so easy to be overthrown. In this way, send a message to the Yanjing Wang family, the Chen family, and the Zhao family, and say that I said that you are not allowed to meddle in this matter, and then put a word to warn the Lai family not to move some crooked thoughts and unsightly small actions. ”

The man looked at the photos sent by his men, smiled slightly, took another sip of tea, then stood up, looked up to the sky and laughed and turned into the house.

Yanjing.

The first three of the five major families, the Wang family, the Chen family, and the Zhao family, are all in the same situation. They had just received the news, and the other party asked them not to meddle casually, the top three of the five dignified families, in the face of that man, they had no choice but to obey.

And the Lai family also received the warning sent by the man and was silent, and the Lai family also knew that they could only contain the Yanjing Xu family with peace of mind now, and they could not meddle in the affairs of Hudu casually, in the final analysis, the Hou family's poison quenching secret weapon was given by the Lai family, but the Lai family underestimated the strength of that man's intelligence network.

Among the five major families, only the Xu family did not receive any news, as if nothing had happened.

However, the undercurrent is surging, and all the situations are changing invisibly.
