The entrances of the four halls are all in the main city area. Xu Yi looked through the west street entrance and saw a shop with a Hongye Hall plaque hanging on it. It was crowded and brightly lit.
Look at the dark and cold palace of the Guanglong Hall, like a haunted house. The gap is as clear as day and night.
Xu Yi entered the hall, and a feeble Qingyi attendant received him. He came up and said, "If you want to buy something, go to the Hongye Hall opposite. It's not convenient here."
Xu Yi is so angry. With such subordinates, why worry about the Guanglong Hall not falling?
He was too lazy to show off his authority with A, B, B, D and D, so he immediately showed his token, "I am the new Guanglong Hall master. Ask the person in charge here to come see me."
The attendant in Tsing Yi fell to his knees and begged for mercy again and again, and when he saw it, the river was about to overflow.
Xu Yi walked out of the hall, walked to a private room on the left and sat down.
Soon, a White-faced Middle-aged Man hurriedly rushed closer, knelt down on the ground, and introduced himself. His surname was Bai Qing, and he was one of the chiefs here. Vice Hall Master Kuang was not here, so he maintained the situation for the time being. If Xu Yi had any orders, he could do it for him.
Xu Yi waved his hand, "Nothing to say. Arrange a secluded courtyard for me, where I can eat and drink well. I'm tired from running all the way. I need to rest for a few days."
Bai Qing was startled, then he answered carefully, and immediately went down to make arrangements. Soon, the innermost courtyard was cleared.
The courtyard is close to Qingbo Lake and is very quiet.
Xu Yi stayed in, but there was no movement, and he basically stayed behind closed doors. Even when he came out, he only occasionally wandered around in the entrance of the hall, and no action was seen from him, let alone the enthusiasm of a new official taking office.
Seven or eight days passed in a flash, and there was still no movement from Xu Yi.
He was at ease here, but some people couldn't sit still.
At noon on this day, Hongye Hall Master Zuo Feng hosted a banquet at White Tiger Tower, the most famous hall in the city, in honor of the Guanding Hall Master Wang Qijue, Cangyuan Hall Master Lei Qianxiao.
Zuo Hall Master took action, and was naturally generous. The entire White Tiger Tower was emptied out a day ago. Not only was it cleaned and made brand new, all kinds of exquisite ingredients were prepared early.
At three quarters of noon, Cangfeng Residence, Wang Qijue and Lei Qianxiao on the top floor of White Tiger Tower arrived hand in hand. After greeting each other, the guests and hosts took their seats. Soon, all kinds of treasures were served like Shui Yi.
Zuo Feng waved away the waiters on the left and right, filled the glasses for the two of them with a pot in his hand, and said with a smile, "Although the two Daoist brothers and I live in the same place, we can count on our fingers the number of times we have visited each other throughout the year. In the future, we must strengthen our contact and be united in spirit, so that we can have a long-term future."
"If you are still so indifferent and let the thieves seize the opportunity, if you are like Qing Xiu, and you are hung in front of the door, then it will be too late to regret."
Wang Qijue and Lei Qianxiao looked at each other and said with a smile, "What Brother Zuo said is absolutely true. It's just that if we have to work together, it should be our four families as one. How come Guanglong Hall was left out?"
On weekdays, we are vaguely rivals and have very little contact with each other. Today, Zuo Feng suddenly held a banquet to invite us, and even made some sympathetic remarks. How could we not make Wang Qijue worry too much.
Lei Qianxiao smiled and said, "Yes, even though Qing Xiu is dead, I heard that Guanglong Hall has come as the new leader, which can be regarded as the leader of the group. How come Brother Zuo only missed Guanglong Hall?"
Zuo Feng picked up the wine glass, drank the wine in one gulp, sighed, and said, "I'm inviting you to drink today because I want to have a heart-to-heart chat with my second brother. Why should my second brother reject me thousands of miles away?"
Wang Qijue and Lei Qianxiao said in unison, "I would like to hear the details!"
Zuo Feng said, "When things have developed to this point, I think Guanglong Hall can no longer stay in this Qingxing City. The death of Qing Xiu happened once. The most important thing is that Vice Hall Master Kuang has been catching the murderer like a mad dog, which has caused resentment everywhere. In addition, The one Guanglong Hall sent this time is also a new leader who has no reputation. In my opinion, it won't be long before Guanglong Hall will be removed from this Qingxing City. If Guanglong Hall falls, if our three families don't unite, who knows who will have a tiger from another family get in again. Today's wine presentation is to make this matter clear and thorough."
Wang Qijue said, "Brother Zuo is thinking too far. Xuanqing Sect is not an ordinary small sect. It is a large sect with Tribulation Transcending Experts in charge. It should not be underestimated. As for the newly arrived leader Guanglong Hall, this person can How could it be that Xuanqing Sect was sent here at this juncture? As far as I know, since he took office, this Hall Master Xu has stayed behind closed doors and has no spirit. There is only one possibility for doing this. This person is secretly holding back a big move. But I don't know where Brother Zuo's confidence comes from."
Zuo Feng said, "Of course I know what Brother Wang said. But Brother Wang knows why Kuang is going crazy these days to hunt down the murderer. He doesn't want to show off so that he can show it to the gentlemen of the Xuanqing Sect. He Vice Hall Master Kuang wants to take off that subtitle on his head. In the past few days, the new leader of the Guanglong Hall may not want to take action, but wants to take action. He has no one under his command, and the eight helmsmen have already boarded Vice Hall Master Kuang's ship. A fight between dragons and tigers will happen in the near future."
"Guanglong Hall is in disarray. Originally, Guanglong Hall's foundation in this Qingxing City was not as good as the three of you and me. Now their customers have been lost one after another. The upper management still only knows how to fight for power and profit. It seems that if this situation continues, the last breath will be gone."
"So, it's not that we want to drive away Guanglong Hall, but that Guanglong Hall has mismanaged its business and brought about its own destruction. Zuo invites you to drink this time, not to discuss how to target Guanglong Hall, but to discuss the division of forces within Qingxing City after the demise of the Guanglong Hall, as well as the issue of coordinated xenophobia."
Lei Qianjue said, "If this is the case, it is indeed worth discussing. We don't harm others, but there is absolutely no reason for us to give up the meat falling from the sky to others, right, Brother Wang."
Every city and place has its own rules. No one wants the situation to get out of control unless absolutely necessary.
Taking Qingxing City as an example, Guanglong Hall can fail due to poor management, but it can never fail due to erosion by force.
Because once it is the latter, Xuanqing Sect will definitely fight back vigorously. In the end, Qingxing City will become a pot of porridge, and no one will be able to get over it.
Lei Qianjue asked himself that he had no intention of helping Guanglong Hall's life and death, but if Guanglong Hall really died, he would be happy to take the remaining fat of the Guanglong Hall and devour it in one gulp.
No one will miss this kind of beautiful thing that comes at no cost.
Seeing that Lei Qianxiao was convinced, Zuo Feng was overjoyed, turned to Wang Qijue and said, "I wonder what Brother Wang's opinion is? I will never let this huge benefit fall into the hands of others, or sit back and watch other forces invade this Qingxing City after the Guanglong Hall fell."
Wang Qijue smiled and said, "I have always been interested in making a fortune, but I think the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail. Let's see that Guanglong Hall has not failed recently. If not, there is no point in discussing this.
