Chapter 470: Pei Qianying's Choice
Chapter 470
Onihime was silent, slumped in the chair, and waved her hand weakly, "I understand." ”
"Hopefully. As his words fell, his body exploded with a thud, turning into a little starlight and disappearing in place.
Soon after she disappeared, Oni Ji's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she shouted outside the palace, "Someone!"
The door of the palace was pushed open, and three figures in silver armor walked in, these three people were all extraordinary, compared to the commander of Na Lu, and even surpassed!
"I've seen Madame. The three of them knelt down on one knee and shouted respectfully.
Ghost Ji waved her hand to signal the three of them to get up, and said: "Within three days, you will clear all the obstacles in Li City, and after three days, the City Lord's Mansion will regain control of Li City, and those who hinder will be killed!"
"Yes!"
The order was issued, and soon, the city lord's mansion made a vigorous and resolute iron and blood method, first an invitation letter was issued, inviting the lords of all large and small families in Li City to go to the city lord's mansion as guests to participate in a mansion banquet, and then, it set off a huge storm in Li Cheng as a threat.
The time for the banquet is set at 12 o'clock at midnight today! It is a secluded time in the middle of the night.
The Pei family, as a second-rate top family, was naturally invited.
"Miss, Mr. Luo is here. ”
Nianxin's voice sounded from the side, Pei Qianying came back to her senses from her stunned and hurriedly said, "Please." ”
At this time, in the living room of Pei's mansion, Luo Chen stood in front of a decorative glazed horse with Yin Yin's little hand, he stroked the horse's body with his palm, and let out a smacking admiration: "It has been laid, this thing is very valuable, this Pei family is worthy of being a big family in Licheng, and it is really rich." ”
Yin Yin followed Luo Chen's side, and under Luo Chen's influence, the little girl also showed a look of a little wealth fan, holding her little hands and counting the gold coins.
"Young Master Luo. ”
Pei Qianying hurriedly stepped into the living room, and as soon as she came up, she smiled and said, "Luo Gongzi please sit here, think about it, why don't you go to serve tea to Luo Gongzi?"
"Yes, miss. With a good mind, he left the living room to prepare tea.
"Why did Luo Gongzi come today?" After sorting out his emotions, Pei Qianying asked.
"No. The light of his palm flashed, and an invitation letter appeared in Luo Chen's hand.
"This is?" Pei Qianying straightened up, her eyes froze, and she landed on the invitation in Luo Chen's hand without blinking.
"The Pei family master doesn't know?" Luo Chen pretended to be surprised: "I heard that this time the City Lord's Mansion has sent such an invitation letter to all the major and small families in Licheng, you see, even our dilapidated Zhong Mansion has received it, could it be that the Pei family has not?"
While speaking, Nianxin walked in with tea, served the tea to Luo Chen, and said respectfully: "Young Master Luo, please use tea." ”
"Thank you. Luo Chen took the teacup and put it on the table, and there was a plate of small snacks, Luo Chen brought it to Yin Yin, and the little girl showed a sweet smile and buried herself in the sea to eat.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Pei Qianying's face, and said, "It seems that there is such an invitation here, I don't know what Master Luo's plan is?"
This invitation, the drunkard does not mean to drink, no one is a fool, the city lord's mansion has been immersed for so long, it seems that this time he wants to regain control of Li City.
Recently, too many things have happened in the Pei family, and the situation is getting worse and worse every time, originally at the beginning, Pei Qianying was trying to win over Luo Chen to fight against the merchants, but who would have thought that the merchants would be wiped out like this.
I thought that after the collapse of the business, the situation of the Pei family in Li City could be improved, but I didn't want it to be worse.
At this moment, Pei Qianying regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have provoked Luo Chen in the first place, now it's okay, stealing chickens and rice is not a loss, because of him, the Pei family suffered together, not to mention being implicated, and caused such a big economic loss to the family.
This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that this banquet of the City Lord's Mansion will inevitably come to a big purge, Luo Chen has argued with the City Lord's Mansion three times and twice, which is extremely unwise in her opinion, and it is self-defeating!
She was worried that continuing to cooperate with the Zhong Mansion would lead the family to a place of no return.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons in my heart, I already had the intention of alienating Luo Chen and Zhong Fu.
Therefore, she did not notify Luo Chen of the City Lord's Mansion banquet this time, but who knows, the Zhong Mansion was also invited, which was a little embarrassing.
No matter what, at the beginning, it was all operated by oneself and secretly forcibly linked the two families, and now it is indeed a bit unkind to do so.
However, for the sake of the family's interests and long-term survival, she can only do this, and there is no choice! In her opinion, defecting to the City Lord's Mansion is the wisest choice for the Pei family now!
"Since they sincerely invited, they naturally want to go, aren't they?" Luo Chen smiled slightly, and said tentatively: "When the Pei family is willing to go together?"
"This ......"
Pei Qianying hesitated, she smiled reluctantly, and said, "I'm really sorry, the family has been busy recently, and it may be delayed for a while, so I won't let Luo Shaokong wait." As expected, Pei Qianying politely refused.
Luo Chen nodded with a smile, got up and beckoned to Yin Yin, the little girl's mouth was bulging, her little hand was open, Luo Chen squatted, Yin Yin jumped into Luo Chen's arms and was picked up by Luo Chen.
Since this is the case, then Luo Mou will not bother much, and will leave. ”
Luo Chen came indifferently, and walked calmly, Pei Qianying followed behind, silently watched Luo Chen leave, got into a carriage, she stood outside the gate of the mansion and hesitated for a moment, then resolutely turned around and walked towards the mansion, at the same time, said to the thoughts beside her: "There is still a period of time before the invitation of the City Lord's Mansion, prepare some heavy gifts and send them to the City Lord's Mansion."
Also, he ordered that from now on, if anyone from the Zhong Mansion came to visit, he would be turned away. ”
"I understand. ”
......
On the spacious street, a carriage galloped slowly, and in the carriage, Luo Chen shook a folding fan in his hand and smiled cheerfully.
Sitting opposite him, Li Ruotong said with a puzzled face: "Why did you come out so quickly, what is the plan of the Pei family?"
"What else can I plan, good birds choose trees and perch, a good choice, if I want to maybe choose the same. ”
Luo Chen said with a smile.
"The Pei family is a good choice, didn't you fight for it?" asked Li Ruotong.
"Fight for it, hehe, there's no need for that. Luo Chen closed the folding fan in his hand, opened the curtain of the carriage, and said with a smile: "That's a very smart woman, and she also knows how to make trade-offs, but I don't like some of her practices, this is her own choice, I respect her wishes, as for fighting, Sister Ruotong, what qualifications do you think a small Pei family is worthy of me to fight for?"
Luo Chen smiled disdainfully, he was not a fool, how could he not know about those small actions that Pei Qianying secretly did? The reason why he didn't care about it was just that he didn't bother to care about these trivial things, this time he came to ask and come out to relax, as for how the Pei family chose, to be honest, he didn't care much at all.
In fact, Pei Qianying's choice is exactly what he wants, this woman has a lot of interests and is not worth befriending.
After learning about Luo Chen's thoughts, Li Ruotong didn't ask more, but chatted about other topics.
Time flies like flowing water, it flies quickly, more than a year has passed in the blink of an eye, I think when the two first met, at that time, Luo Chen was just a hairy boy who didn't know anything, and now, not only has he grown taller, but also matured.
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Yin Yin sat next to Li Ruotong, tilting her little head and looking at the two curiously, not knowing what they were laughing at.
The carriages were wandering around, the streets were full of people, and through the curtain of the carriages, all kinds of insults and smashing could be seen everywhere on the streets, and it was still so chaotic.
The carriage went around for a while, and then returned to Zhongfu.
I don't know who revealed the news, and soon, the news of the city lord's mansion banquet spread, and many people were speculating in their hearts, with curiosity.
Different from the curiosity of these people, except for Luo Chen, all the major families who received the invitation letter were all anxious and restless.
Some familiar and well-connected families get together and discuss countermeasures with each other, at this time, especially in this troubled era, no one wants to be crushed, because it will touch the interests of many people.
For this reason, those families who think they have some background and do not want to be governed have gathered together to discuss how to deal with this matter, each with their own thoughts.
Compared with it, the atmosphere of Zhongfu is much more relaxed, after so many years, entering the City Lord's Mansion again, Luo Chen's mood is completely different.
After some agreement, Luo Chen had already made a decision in his heart, Old Man Wei said that the water in the City Lord's Mansion was very deep, so this time he would give it a try to see if the water could drown him.
It's not that he is confident, but that he has two Soul King Realm powerhouses by his side, if this can still be drowned, then he will admit it.
At night, the lights are still bright outside the city lord's mansion, since the riots in Licheng, the night markets in the city have basically been closed, except for those who can only do leather and meat business at night, other shops have long been closed at this hour.
Click!
The pitch black went straight to the main street of the City Lord's Mansion, and the cars were coming in the same direction, and these carriages stopped at a position of 100 meters away from the City Lord's Mansion, and no longer moved forward, followed by a series of figures.
These people are all extraordinary, and they are followed by figures with a strong breath.
"It's been a long time since Licheng has been so lively in the middle of the night, right?"
"It's been a while. Luo Chen asked, and Steward Wei replied.
The mute girl behaved very quietly and sat beside Luo Chen with a veil.
"Is Grandpa Wei hot?" The closer he got to the City Lord's Mansion, the more beads of sweat appeared on Steward Wei's forehead, and Luo Chen couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, I'm old, and I can't stand the bumps of this carriage. ”
Steward Wei wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and Luo could see that Steward Wei was really a little nervous at this moment, and his breath spread out, probing the surroundings, as if he was afraid of something.
