Tang Zhong said: "Now that Tang Yueting's envoy has sent such a reply, although they are not satisfied, their face has been saved. Tang Yueting's move was to refute his own face to fill them. ”

"How is this possible?" asked Sechin.

Tang Zhong smiled and asked, "Xie Qin, you know the saying 'family ugliness should not be publicized', right?"

"Of course I do. Xie Qin nodded.

Tang Zhong also nodded and said, "At that time, the Tang Sect's actions were to publicize the ugliness of the family. ”

"Huh......" Xie Qin was stunned when he heard this.

"It's obvious. Tang Zhong explained, "Regardless of whether the Nine Poison Hall obeys Tang Jiabao's orders or not, it is a matter of one fort and four halls, in other words, it is the internal affairs of the Tang Sect, and this kind of thing cannot be said casually." ”

"However, Tang Yueting sent someone to tell the envoy of the Elders' Association......" Xie Qin reacted a little.

"Yes. Tang Zhong nodded, "Tang Yueting's move is actually a loss of face for the Tang Sect. First of all, as soon as he said this, the fact that Tang Jiabao ordered the Nine Poisons Hall not to move spread out, in the eyes of the Jianghu people, the upper level of the door number actually ordered not to move the entrance of the lower hall, which means that the Tang Gate has further weakened, and secondly, to return to the expansion of the Nine Poison Hall, the Nine Poison Hall is the entrance of the Tang Gate, that is, a part of the Tang Gate, and its expansion represents that the Tang Gate has violated the promise of retreat, that is, breach of trust and breach of contract. In this way, people on the rivers and lakes will have some complaints about Tangmen, and the decline of Tangjiabao will further exacerbate this kind of complaints. ”

"What effect does this kind of whispering have on the Tang Sect?" Xie Qin asked.

"The impact is too great. Tang Zhong's expression was very serious, "On the rivers and lakes, no matter how despicable and cunning you are behind your back, you must pay attention to integrity on the surface, even if you pretend to be it, you must pretend to be it, because the rivers and lakes come and go, nominally benevolence and friendship, in fact, it is interests, and the most important thing is two words, integrity." Even if the yang is contrary to the yin, you can't break the contract on the bright side. Many years have passed since the Tang Sect retired to the rivers and lakes, and the original prestige has also declined with the aging of that generation of Jianghu people, and there is not much left, and then Tang Yueting came again like this, so that the people in the whole Jianghu knew that the Tang Men not only defaulted, but also became weaker and weaker, which further shrank the prestige that was left behind. ”

Xie Qin nodded, he understood, this impact is indeed too great, although he is not a Jianghu yet, but he can guess what kind of result a sect will face if its prestige falls to the bottom.

“...... Won't the Tang Sect become a sect that can be bullied by others?" Xie Qin said his thoughts.

"It's not that serious," Tang Zhong shook his head slightly, "Fortunately, the object of the Tang Sect is the Elders' Association, what kind of weight the Elders' Association is, everyone knows very well, Sichuan is a tyrant." As for the Tang Sect, although it has retired, it is also the gate faction that can compete with the elders in the past, although the years of retreat have shrunk, but the scale is still not to be underestimated. The people in the rivers and lakes just don't look down on the Tang Sect, but they are not fools, they naturally know it...... Uh," he pondered his words, "to put it mildly, a hundred-legged worm is dead but not stiff." Therefore, the prestige of the Tang Sect has fallen repeatedly, but it has not reached the level of being bullied, bullying also requires strength, and the strength above the Tang Sect is not much in the whole Jianghu, and in Sichuan, there is only one elder brother. ”

"Oh...... That's fine. Xie Qin thought to himself, fortunately, Tang Yueting was confessing to the elders, not casually with a small shrimp sect in Sichuan.

Hey, as soon as this idea came up, he complained about himself, isn't this nonsense! Not to mention whether Tang Yueting will admit to Xiao Xiami, just say that Xiao Xiami, does it dare to touch Tangmen's moldy head?

Thinking about it like this, Xie Qin nodded secretly, the only one who can make the Tang Sect bow his head and admit it like this is the Elders' Association.

Sechin said, "So, will the elders finally accept it?"

"There's no reason for the elders to refuse. Tang Zhong said, "At least on the bright side, they didn't suffer." ”

"Hmmm......"

Tang Zhong said: "You think, the situation is like this, the overlord of Sichuan saw that the former opponent was restless, so he sent someone to reprimand the opponent, but the opponent quickly sent someone over to admit it, saying that the following were ignorant, but they couldn't control it. ”

Xie Qin said: "Hearing you say this, how do I feel that Tang Yueting didn't take the elder brother in his eyes at all?"

"Oh?" Tang Zhong asked, "How so?"

Xie Qin said: "It's very simple, the following is not sensible, and we can't control it, what is the subtext of this sentence?"

"What is it?" Tang Zhong asked rhetorically.

Xie Qinxin said that you were giving us popular science, how did it become that I explained to you, shook his head, and replied: "The subtext of this is that we can't manage it, and we don't want to manage it, why don't you help us take care of it?"

"Hmm......" Tang Zhong nodded again and again at first, but when he reached the last sentence, his eyebrows suddenly raised, "...... Huh?"

"That's how it feels. Sechin said.

Tang Zhong said: "If you want to follow your statement, it will completely become a provocation." ”

"Yes," Xie Qin nodded, "it's indeed a provocation, and your summary gives me a sense of this." ”

"Yes," Tang Zhong shook his head, "That's something wrong with my expression, Tang Yueting definitely didn't say that at that time, he was trying to solve the situation, not worsening the situation, let alone going to war with the Elders...... Whatever the rhetoric they used! In short, his envoy succeeded in convincing the elders to convince them that Tang Jiabao could not control the Nine Poison Hall. ”

"Then the elders don't have anything to say?" asked Sechin.

"What does that mean?" Tang Zhong asked rhetorically, "I know, can't I help Tang Yueting clean up the Elders' Association?" Just like I said just now, if the Nine Poisons Hall had this courage, he wouldn't have to go to the Tang Sect at all, and it would be too late to do it directly and then notify him. ”

"The Elders' Guild was also tied up at that time, right?" asked Sechin.

"Even now. Tang Zhong replied, "The Wuyi Society has been staring at them very closely. ”

"Yes," Xie Qin nodded, expressing understanding, "After all, it's a Sichuan land tyrant, and if you leave it alone, you won't necessarily do anything." ”

"That's it. Tang Zhong nodded, "So since Tang Yueting has given a step down, then the elder brother will be happy to end it, but for them, there is still one regret left in the whole matter." ”

"The expansion momentum of the Nine Poison Hall has not been curbed. Sechin said.

"That's right," Tang Zhong nodded, "and that's exactly what the elder brother wanted to do with the Tang Sect." ”

Xie Qin said, "They may not know Tang Yueting's thoughts, right?"

Tang Zhong said: "I think it's less likely that they don't know, but even if they do, there's nothing they can do." ”

"However, if the Nine Poison Hall rises like this, isn't it afraid of being targeted by the Wuyi Society?" Xie Qin asked.

Tang Zhong said: "How many people do you think the Wuyi Society has? If each gang has to send people to keep an eye on it, then the manpower they have to use is enough to form a medium-sized gang - the Wuyi Society does not have so many cadres, so it can only choose some key targets to watch. ”

"I see," Xie Qin nodded, "In that case, the Nine Poisons Hall is not the focus of attention. ”

"That's right. Tang Zhong also nodded, "At that time, there were more gangs than it and danced, and the Wuyi Society didn't care about it." ”

Xie Qin's heart moved when he heard this, and he asked suspiciously: "But the Tang Sect is also a big faction......

"The Tang Sect is indeed a big faction, but the Nine Poisons Hall is only a hall of the Tang Sect," Tang Zhong replied, "The past is different from the present, the scale of the Nine Poisons Hall at that time was not as big as it is now, and that was more than ten years later." ”

"Oh......" Xie Qin suddenly realized, and asked again, "and what about after that?"

Tang Zhong said: "After that, after that, Tang Yueting and Tang Jiaqi father and son continued to perform their dramas for people on the rivers and lakes, and through singing and white, they successfully acted in a good show." To put it simply, from the perspective of the rivers and lakes, it is that the Nine Poisons Hall is becoming more and more disobedient to Tang Jiabao's orders, and the more out of control it is, and gradually becoming independent. ”

“...... It's a good show indeed. Xie Qin nodded approvingly.

"Really, right?" Tang Zhong smiled, "Through this method, Tang Yueting has not only preserved the overall situation of the Tang Sect, but also allowed the Nine Poisons Hall to continue to grow and develop, and the two goals can be said to have been achieved." ”

"That's not right," Xie Qin said, "If this trend continues, it should be that the Nine Poisons Hall will become an independent faction, and it won't have much to do with the Tang Sect." Wasn't Tang Yueting's original purpose to let the Tang Sect develop and grow?"

Tang Zhong said with a smile: "This is just our speculation, besides, even if this is the case, then Tang Yueting also has to make a trade-off, there is a way that you can't have both fish and bear's paws, Tang Yueting must make a trade-off between Tangkou and Tangmen, and it is impossible to make Tangmen develop and grow as a whole." Not to mention that the Elder Brotherhood will completely tear its face to stop it, even if it is the Wuyi Society, it will not sit back and watch a big faction that used to be equal to the Elder Brotherhood rise again, and the actions of these people will even be faster than the Elder Brotherhood. ”

"Well," Xie Qin nodded, this is also understandable, after all, the purpose of the existence of the Wuyi Society is to maintain the stability of the rivers and lakes, if the Tang Sect rises again, it will definitely compete with the Elder Brothers for hegemony. When the time comes, the two sides will have a dispute, and a bloody storm will inevitably be set off on the rivers and lakes of Sichuan. If it is not handled well, this conflict will even trigger a butterfly effect, plunging the entire rivers and lakes into turmoil, which is absolutely not allowed by the Wuyi Society.

Somehow, Xie Qin analyzed it in his head, but he just thought about it and didn't say it, because Tang Zhong was still there, he was a member of the Tang Sect, this kind of analysis from the perspective of the Wuyi Society, with the Tang Sect as an imaginary enemy, was afraid of causing him unhappiness.
