Chapter VII Choice
The people of the Ren family came very punctually, and the sunrise in the east had already knocked on the door of the Xia family. There was only a small group of people who came, led by the patriarch of the Ren family, who had a heavy responsibility, and was very senior in the sect, sixty years old, and an old man. The rest are just a few young disciples who can't be named, and they come to make a strong noise.
The purpose of this trip is to explore the strength of the Xia family and the new sect master, not to crusade, not to fight, not to have many troops, but to spend more words with the Xia family.
Xia Lang waited at the gate early in the morning, his flattery and flattery was completely different from the proud and complacent attitude in the Pavilion a few days ago.
Because Xia Huan reused Xia Lang during his lifetime, Xia Lang's status in the sect was still a head higher than Jiuxiaozi. Although Jiuxiaozi was Xia Yan's teacher, he was provoked by Xia Lang during Xia Huan's tenure and took away his status as an elder. Now it's just a false name for the master.
He stood behind the people with Yuegu, still facing the water. Yuegu is not as cold and calm as usual, the panic and expectation in her eyes are obvious.
Xia Lang will be invited to the Pavilion to discuss matters. Jiuxiaozi went with Yuegu.
With many years of experience in diplomatic negotiations, even in the face of Xia Lang's flattering smile, he will not show much comfort. His attitude was not tough, nor was he very soft.
Ren Zhong licked his lips under his white beard and said, "I don't know if I can have a cup of tea." ”
Xia Lang hurriedly said: "Of course." As soon as he waved his hand, a small Taoist priest brought out a few cups of tea from the side room and placed them lightly in front of everyone.
Ren Zhong lifted the back cover and took a sip of the tea in front of him, the tea leaves were sour and astringent, and the taste was not good. But he was quite pleasing to him, and a fleeting smile flowed from the corner of his mouth.
From a bowl of tea, you can know how good or bad the whole family is.
Jiu Xiaozi caught his expression that changed in an instant, and couldn't help frowning. from
Xia Lang said with a smile: "I don't know what Elder Ren is doing this time. ”
Yuegu didn't understand how this Xia Lang could still laugh in the face of the enemy who had slaughtered his compatriots in the past. All she knew was that her fists were about to crush.
A slight smile is the basis of negotiation, which can relax the other party's vigilance and ease one's own tension. Ren Zhong smiled and said, "Then I'll get straight to the point." The sect master of my family was taught by your sect in the past. When he was young, he went out to practice, and he worked hard to get an extremely precious piece of 10,000-year-old amber, and he wanted it back, I don't know, can it?"
The Xia family has been looted by them A lot of rare treasures, and at this time, they actually returned to the scene and brazenly came back to grab things, which is staggering, if the children of the Xia family are present, they are afraid that they will eat these robbers alive.
But Aunt Yue didn't get angry when she heard this, but frowned on her thin eyebrows, and her frustration and sadness were complex and changeable in her eyebrows.
Xia Lang's eyes narrowed, and he said, "What is this big deal, and I want you to make an extra trip." It's just a piece of amber, and since it was painstakingly retrieved from the previous sect master, it naturally has to be returned. Exchange the Xia family's thin things for the joy of each sect. ”
Ren Zhong saw that Xia Lang was obedient, and he had no backbone of a cultivator, and his words and deeds were no different from those of villains in the market. He couldn't help but chuckle.
The disciple of the Ren family who was guarding the door laughed sarcastically: "It's really funny that the Xia family used to have no one in their eyes, and now they are wagging their tails and begging for mercy on us." He deliberately said this to the door, in order to let the elders of the Xia family also hear this.
Xia Zhen had a hot temper, and he had been pressed by Jiu Xiaozi all the time, and now when he heard this, he was furious, and he wanted to kick over the conference table in front of him and dismantle the people of the Ren family.
Jiuxiaozi hurried before Xia Zhen became angry, and said politely: "Xia Lang can't be the master of this matter, it has to be said by our sect master." ”
Xia Lang glared at Jiuxiaozi, thinking that he didn't know the situation. He's looking for death, but don't kill him. He smiled awkwardly at Ren Zhong: "Our head of the family is just a hairy boy who doesn't understand anything." Now I have the final say in the Xia family. I will have the amber brought to you at once. ”
"You have the final say? Who admits it? You're just an elder, so you think you can get past the sect master. But a sideline, dare to be the head of the Xia family?" Jiu Xiaozi would rarely argue with him, and his tone was tough and full of provocation. It is diametrically opposed to his usual attitude of being indisputable.
This was deliberately performed for the Ren family.
Everyone looked sideways.
Xia Lang was really angry, and it was not good to attack in front of others, but the anger on his face was revealed.
Ren Zhong coughed twice, turned into a peacemaker, and stopped the anger of the two of them. Since the head of the Xia family is involved, he naturally pushes the boat with the current. He said: "What Jiuxiaozi said is very true, this matter should indeed be reported to the Xia family master first, but I didn't think it through. I wonder where this Xia family master is at the moment?"
Xia Lang sneered: "I guess I'm still sleeping at this time." ”
Ren Zhong looked at the sun outside and was quite surprised: "Oh~"
Xia Lang originally proposed to call Xia Qian to the Gathering Pavilion, but Ren Zhong politely refused, saying that he couldn't disturb people's dreams, so he asked to find it himself.
The group left the Pavilion and went to Xia Qian's Linyuan Tower. Jiuxiaozi quietly summoned a small Taoist priest and handed him a note and asked him to pass it to Xia Qian.
Yuegu said worriedly: "Teacher, is it really okay to let Xia Qian decide? According to his attitude the day before yesterday, he may be on the same side as Xia Lang." Then our Xia family will never be able to raise their heads. ”
Jiuxiaozi didn't make waves on his face, and he had already made up his mind in his heart. Ren Zhong's coming this time is not as simple as asking for a piece of amber, he has a lot of property in the Ren family, and he will not stick to a small medicinal herb, but he is looking for a reason to find out about the recent situation of the Xia family.
If this amber is not given, let them see that the Xia family is hostile and resistant. Maybe they will completely eradicate the Xia family.
If this amber is given, the Xia family's reputation will be completely discredited, and the anger of Yuegu and her party will burn even more seriously.
So, Xia Qian, what would you do?
This answer means whether or not I will be able to continue to believe in you. Jiuxiaozi looked at the top of the Linyuan Tower from afar.
In front of Linyuan Tower, Xia Qian leaned against the door with a small bench and hid in the shade of the porch, he rarely woke up an hour early today. Xu is the atmosphere of the Xia family today is anxious, which affects his good sleep.
Since the end of the Cabinet meeting that day, he has been idle for two days. Jiuxiaozi did not ask him for refuting their views. But there was something wrong with him in his heart.
The little Taoist priest who delivered the message appeared in front of Xia Qian from the eaves on the opposite side, and said a few words in his ear. Xia Qian's face was difficult to look at
"This old man is very ruthless, he looks very kind, and he wears little shoes for me behind his back. I said why he didn't move in the past two days, it turned out that he was cheating me here. ”
He kicked the small bench into the house, and summoned a few little Taoist priests who were sweeping the floor in the yard.
The chaotic footsteps outside the door gradually amplified and became clearer. Xia Qian neatly took off the elbow pads and knee pads in his clothes, and did stretching exercises under the rising sun, moving his hands and feet. Although he had been told not to move until his injuries healed, fortunately his self-healing ability was not bad, except for a faint tingling, there was nothing wrong with it.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the door, Xia Qian immediately rolled around in the piles of fallen leaves. The body can be dusty, and the unicorn on the clothes is also covered with dust. With a few fallen leaves sticking to his head, he sprinkled a few more strands of his hair and landed in front of him.
At this time, Xia Lin came out of the side room, and saw the stupid hat in the pile of fallen leaves at a glance, and he went straight to the door, but happened to meet the approaching large team and blocked him at the door.
Xia Lin recognized them on the spot, they were as heavy as his sister who was injured by the Ren family.
He was furious for a moment, exhaling a heavy snort, and the formation under his feet was faintly revealed.
Jiu Xiaozi saw that his expression was wrong, and he wanted to remind him, Xia Qian staggered over from behind, jumped on his back, grabbed his cheeks from behind with both hands, and rubbed vigorously. Then he yelled out of headlessness: "Carry me, carry me, you are my horse, hurry up and let me ride!"
A gust of wind blew, kicking up a few leaves on the pile of fallen leaves, swirling in the air a few times, and finally landing again.
There were nearly 30 people inside and outside the door, and for a while, there was silence......
