Chapter 26: Night Talk (2)
Under the same night sky, in the Ethereal Villa, in the council hall, no one slept.
At night, the council hall was lit with large butter candles the size of children's arms, and the entire council hall was as bright as day.
Compared to the bustle of the day, there were only six people in the council hall at this time.
Yes, it is six, the famous ethereal six tigers in the rivers and lakes.
Ou Peng is still sitting on the chair of the gang leader, the left is the eldest Hu Yunyi, the second Li Jian, the right is the fourth Shangguan Fengliu, the fifth Liu Qingyang, and the sixth Xu Peihua.
Boss Hu is a sturdy middle-aged man, dressed very plainly, even a little old, at a glance, most of the people feel that he is an old farmer, his appearance is also ordinary, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was summoned back by the emergency order of the gang, he did not look anxious to ask at all, and slowly tasted the tea in his hand.
Li Lao Er is a tall man with a thin face, dressed in a green shirt, holding a sword in his hand, placed in front of his knees, his face is full of indifference, and he looks like no one is close, he is really as good as his name. At this time, Li Jian also lowered his head and squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu Lao Wu on the opposite side is a short big fat man, dressed even more simply, even revealing the black hair on his chest, with two Xuanhua big axes under his feet, and the table next to him is not tea, it is a small wine jug, this guy's style is really too incompatible with his name. At this time, instead of picking up the small wine jug and taking a sip, his eyes were rolling from time to time, looking at Ou Peng, looking at the eldest and second, while zuihou focused on Shangguan Lao Si and Xu Lao Liu, who were talking in a low voice.
Of course, Shangguan Lao Si and Xu Lao Liu knew that Weishenme came to discuss things at night, their faces were full of excitement, and they exchanged something in a low voice, originally Xu Lao Liu's position was in Zuihou, and he changed positions with Liu Lao Wu to get closer to Shangguan Lao Si. This Liu Lao Wu looked at the excitement of the two talking to each other, he couldn't hear anything, and he was a little anxious to scratch his ears and cheeks, but this was in the council hall, he couldn't make a loud noise, he could only drink angrily and wait for Ou Peng to speak.
Ou Peng seemed to be thinking about things, and didn't pay too much attention to a few senior brothers.
When all the brothers in the hall were a little anxious, Ou Peng raised his head and looked at the familiar faces of his senior brothers, and then spoke.
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother and Fifth Senior Brother, you only rushed back to the gang this afternoon, and you didn't have time to let you rest. However, there is indeed a big matter to discuss with you, and you don't blame the fourth and sixth children, this time I gave a death order to seal my mouth, the stakes are very high, and I have to be cautious. ”
Boss Hu put down the teacup slowly and methodically, and said: "The senior brother of the head has always been calm, we all admire it very much, and there will be nothing to blame." However, what you said is very important, I want to listen carefully, the recent calm in the rivers and lakes, several major factions have been quiet, and the Demon Sect has also died down, and it seems that they have all gone home to farm, but it is an opportunity for my Ethereal Sect to grow shili, is it possible that the junior brother has some way?"
Li Lao Er disagreed, and said coldly: "The rivers and lakes rely on strength to speak, without haode martial arts, any tricks used are blind, I think it's better not to make any conspiracy tricks, it's better to practice swords." ”
Boss Hu knew that this second junior brother was cold-faced and warm-hearted, and he didn't consider other people's thoughts when he spoke, and his words were not aimed at him, and besides, what he said made sense, so he ignored it. And Liu Lao Wu agreed, raised his axe and said, "Third brother, if there is a rabbit cub looking for trouble, I will go and cut him." ”
Shangguan Lao Si and Xu Lao Liu looked at them with a smile and did not speak.
Ou Peng couldn't cry or laugh, waved his hand at Liu Lao Wu, and said, "Lao Wu, sit down, don't be impatient, it's not as evil as you say." Then he said to Boss Hu and Elder Li: "Senior brother, second senior brother, this time it's not a matter of which gang to fight for territory, let alone any conspiracy." ”
He deliberately paused for a moment and said, "It's a good thing to let all the senior brothers come over this time. ”
The three of them couldn't help but be confused, they all frowned, and Liu Lao Wu said, "Third brother, what good things have fallen on our heads?"
Li Lao Er said: "Could it be that pie fell from the sky?"
Boss Hu didn't speak, thought for a while and said, "Third child, is it the old beggar you talked about last time?"
Ou Peng smiled and nodded.
Liu Lao Wu was happy: "His grandmother's, that old beggar really didn't lie? It's been a year, and who remembers?"
Li Lao Er still said with a straight face: "When did you go out? You seem to have been staying in the gang this year, why didn't I know you went out?"
Ou Peng said: "I didn't go myself. ”
Liu Lao Wu interrupted at this time, pointed to Shangguan Lao Si and Xu Lao Liu and said, "I said that these two people muttered as soon as they came in, it turned out that you went, why didn't you say anything in advance?"
Xu Lao Liu hurriedly said: "Fifth brother made a mistake, we just found out a few days ago. ”
The three of them became more and more confused.
Ou Peng hurriedly explained: "The fourth and sixth children really didn't go, I sent Ah Hai and Qing'er to go." ”
When Liu Lao Wu heard this, he immediately jumped up: "For such an important matter, you actually let two apprentices go, aren't you afraid that something will go wrong?"
Boss Hu glared at him and said, "Don't you be surprised, okay? Didn't the two of them return safely? Otherwise, we can sit here and discuss things in peace?"
Xu Laoliu thought for a while and said, "Yes." ”
Ou Peng explained with a smile: "That's the case, in order to prevent the ears and eyes of other gangs from noticing the movements and giving them the opportunity to rob while the fire is on, I and the head of the Tan family, the sword master of Wanjian Peak, did not go, but just sent the second-generation disciples of the gang to see the location of the haode in advance, so that the Yanming monk who was less noticed in the rivers and lakes took them." ”
Li Lao Er spoke: "This Yanming layman has average martial arts skills, but he is also witty, but the city is deeper, and Ah Hai will inevitably suffer if he goes with Qing'er." ”
Boss Hu said: "Since the third child is relieved to let him take it, there is a way to take precautions." ”
Ou Peng touched his nose and said, "Senior Brother is very right, before going, all three of us sent close people to his Yanming Villa, and he also sent people to escort his wife and children to our faction, and when the matter is completed, we can escort his wife and children back, and exchange our people at the same time." ”
Boss Hu asked, "Who did you send?"
Ou Peng said: "Naturally, it is Yan'er. ”
Boss Hu nodded.
Ou Peng continued: "She also just returned a few days ago and is resting in the villa. ”
Boss Hu also said: "This kind of thing, only she is suitable, and she has worked hard." ”
Li Lao Er said: "She is your sister, so she should naturally share her worries for your brother." However, it is strange that the Yanming monk did not play tricks. ”
Ou Peng's eyes narrowed with a smile, and he said, "Why not?" He proposed to use rock-paper-scissors instead of the contest treasure, but our Qing'er won a mess. ”
Liu Lao Wu also smiled: "No, this girl never loses when she guesses this, even I have been drunk by her with this." This Yanming monk is shooting himself in the foot. ”
Ou Peng said: "The most ridiculous thing is that he also pretended to pass on the holy decree, saying that the extra treasures are obtained by fate, and whoever gets it is whom, but there are not many treasures in it, but he only divided the herbs, and he only took a few more copies, and people are not as good as heaven." ”
"Herbal ???" Liu Lao Wu interrupted for the first time, "Didn't you get any magic weapons?"
Xu Laoliu said seriously: "Of course there is, it's a Pangu axe!"
Liu Lao Wu immediately jumped up, rushed to Ou Peng and said, "Really, Third Brother, this Pangu Axe is my dream weapon, this time, you must give it to me, I will use it to split this river and lake in half!"
Before Ou Peng could speak, Boss Hu preemptively scolded him and said, "Sixth, go back and sit, this is the council hall, don't forget the rules." ”
Liu Lao Wu was very afraid of Boss Hu, so he sat back in a gloomy manner, and said with an innocent face: "Boss, this is my dream, you can't destroy it, I have to make up my mind about this axe." ”
Li Lao Er spoke: "You really believe in this kind of thing like the Pangu Axe, why don't I exchange the Xuanyuan Sword with you?"
Liu Lao Wu muttered, "How can you have the Xuanyuan Sword." ”
Li Lao Er interface: "You don't have a Pangu axe." ”
At this time, Boss Hu spoke: "Don't listen to the sixth brother talking to you, the Pangu axe is a legend, so it is possible?"
At this time, Ou Peng said mysteriously: "Although the words of the sixth child are a joke, but, senior brother, this time you are really out of sight, there are indeed legendary things in it!"
At this moment, Boss Hu was also moved, and said, "What is it? Isn't it a herb?"
Ou Peng was very satisfied with the surprise of Boss Hu, and said: "Herbs are just superfluous harvests, and the real treasure is something else." ”
Liu Lao Wu was unhappy: "It's not the Pangu Axe, what is the legendary good thing? Could it be the Xuanyuan Sword? Cultivating the Heavenly Recommendation Chapter?"
Shangguan Lao Si spoke: "The fifth child is really powerful, I can actually guess correctly, I can't dream of it." ”
The remaining three people, but really in a daze, only to see Boss Hu glanced at Li Lao Er, and glanced at him, Li Lao Er stood up, performed light skills, floated out of the conference hall with a smoke, flew up to the room, and quickly turned around the meeting hall, zuihou, standing on the eaves of the meeting hall, listening carefully for a long time, then flew down again, walked back to his seat quickly, and said to Hu Boss: "I didn't find any idle people around." ”
Boss Hu nodded, and then set his eyes on Ou Peng.
And Liu Lao Wu was still in a daze, and he didn't seem to understand what the two were doing.
Boss Hu said to Ou Peng: "Third child, you tell me about the treasures inside. ”
