Chapter 975 A Good Show
"They won't let us leave Dongri Island easily." Fang Yu said.
"You mean, the Matsuo family and the Udagawa family will take action against us?" Zheng Ze was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Maybe, but it may not be that simple." Fang Yu said.
"Mr. Fang, I am stupid, please explain the situation..." Zheng Ze scratched his head and said.
Fang Yu picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip.
"Today we got off the dock and met Saito Ichi, and then headed to the seat of the Yagi family."
"Then, we met the other two families of the Orochi family, Matsuo Tai of the Matsuo family, and Udagawa Kawato of the Udagawa family." Fang Yu said, "Then the royal family's priests also appeared, and there were many people present, also from All forces."
"Don't you think this is weird?"
"We just visited the Yagi family's location and met so many forces."
"But Mr. Saito has already explained this before going." Zheng Ze frowned.
"He mentioned it, but it doesn't mean it's a reasonable behavior." Fang Yu said, "So many people crowded into the Yagi family to play mahjong? Investigation? How can there be any reason for the big shot of the family to come out to investigate in person? Can't we just send people to investigate? alright?"
"Especially the royal priest, he is even more outrageous. He is extremely glamorous and well-groomed. He even smells of strong perfume. He looks like a sophisticated old nobleman at first glance."
"Such a person would come to a bloody place like the Yagi family to investigate?"
Zheng Ze listened to what Fang Yu said, his brows furrowed deeper, and asked: "Mr. Fang, do you mean... that this group of people's appearance in the Yagi family was actually arranged long ago?"
"It's very possible, but of course there is still the possibility of coincidence." Fang Yu said.
"But why did they show up like this?" Zheng Ze asked, "They didn't accomplish anything in the end, just to meet us?"
"The purpose is not to meet with us, but to create a conflict under the gaze of many people." Fang Yu said.
"What do you mean, Mrs. Matsuo..." Zheng Ze's expression changed and he asked.
"Yes, this person acted too mentally retarded, as if he was deliberately quarreling with me." Fang Yu said, "So, I think this conflict was arranged in advance."
"But what's the point of doing this?" Zheng Ze asked, rubbing his temples.
"I think what they are concerned about now is not the destruction of the two major families." Fang Yu frowned slightly and said.
"It's not this, what could it be..." Zheng Ze was confused.
"Remember carefully, have there been any other negotiations between Dongri Island and your martial arts association in the recent period?" Fang Yu asked.
Zheng Ze frowned and started thinking.
Soon, he slapped his thigh and said: "Some time ago, the Tiannin organization on Dongri Island contacted the teacher. They wanted to send people to our Yanxia to enter the opened ancient ruins."
"But this was rejected by the teacher."
"Before I went out this morning, the teacher mentioned this matter and told me that if anyone asked me about it again, I would just refuse. I almost forgot the teacher's instructions..."
Hearing these words, Fang Yu's eyes flashed and he smiled and said: "That's right, all the forces in Dongri Island have united to perform... It should be just for this matter."
As he said that, Fang Yu shook his head again and said, "Huai Xu is really... Just tell me what you have to say directly. You have to keep me in the dark. How much time is wasted."
Zheng Ze was still full of doubts and asked: "Mr. Fang, what does the teacher mean..."
"All forces on Dongri Island want to enter the ancient ruins, but without Huaixu's consent, they dare not enter Yanxia. This is the premise." Fang Yu said, "In this case, if they want to enter the ancient ruins, then We have to use other methods to force Huaixu to agree."
"Then, they started to set up the stage. They asked us to arrive first, and then asked Matsuo Tai to run over and provoke a conflict. A lot of spectators have been arranged for this scene."
"There should be more people at tonight's banquet, and Matsuo Tai should appear again. This time, it will be the climax of the scene."
"They will provoke us to take action, and then use the topic to make us arouse public outrage. After that, they can openly attack the two of us and control us...then notify Huaixu and negotiate terms."
"Because you are Huaixu's chief disciple, Huaixu must value you very much, so he will definitely agree to this condition..."
"But... if they want to do this, wouldn't it be great if they caught us from the beginning?" Zheng Ze said.
"They are the ones who are at fault for doing this. If Huaixu is angered and leads a team to kill them directly, they can't bear it." Fang Yu said, "But if we are provoked to take action, it will trigger public outrage. So in terms of public opinion, They won. Huaixu cannot bring people to Dongri Island to rescue people by force. Otherwise, even in Yanxia, many people will despise this behavior, and the reputation of the martial arts association will be ruined..."
"Speaking of which, they really understand Huaixu's character... This approach is indeed effective for Huaixu."
"But unfortunately, it's me who's here this time."
Zheng Ze stopped, already in a daze.
Fortunately, Mr. Fang came this time.
Otherwise, with his level, he would not be able to see through this game.
"So, how are Mr. Fang going to deal with it?" Zheng Ze calmed down and asked.
"Logically speaking, we can't attend the banquet tonight, otherwise we will fall into their trap." Fang Yu said.
After that, Fang Yu showed a cold smile and said, "But I don't want to do this."
"We still have to attend the banquet tonight. Otherwise, they will think of other ways. Take advantage of the fact that there are many people tonight, so we can solve it all at once."
"Of course, Huai Xu may not like my way of dealing with it. But... I don't want to spend so much energy thinking of other ways."
"Mr. Fang, your way is..." Zheng Ze asked doubtfully.
"It's very simple, one force defeats ten skills." Fang Yu smiled slightly and said.
However, the fact that so many forces can temporarily put aside the destruction of the two major families and unite to act is enough to show that their obsession with the ancient ruins is quite heavy.
What is their understanding of the ancient ruins? Why do they want to enter the ancient ruins so much?
...
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the Royal Mansion.
The hall is magnificent, and even the surface of the stone pillars has a layer of light gold plating, which is extremely luxurious.
At this moment, there are many guests standing in the living room.
Some people were wearing suits, and many were wearing traditional costumes of Dongri Island.
In the middle of the hall, there was a dance floor that could be raised and lowered.
When Fang Yu and Zheng Ze arrived, there were already so many guests in the hall that even the space became a little crowded.
"Mr. Fang, as you predicted, there are indeed many people." Zheng Ze said.
Fang Yu looked around and saw that there were indeed many people.
Generally speaking, when holding a banquet, the number of guests invited is determined according to the size of the venue.
In this case, the number of people has obviously exceeded the standard.
The hall was overcrowded, and it was difficult to even move around.
The guest experience at such a banquet must be very poor.
How could such a mistake happen at a regularly held royal banquet?
The other party's purpose was already very clear, which was to attract more spectators and create public opinion.
Fang Yu and Zheng Ze stood in the crowd for a few minutes, and Saito Ichi came in from nowhere.
"Are royal banquets always so lively?" Fang Yu asked.
"Yes, all forces are honored to be invited to the royal banquet. Therefore, as long as they are invited, there is no reason not to come." Saito said.
"I see." Fang Yu nodded, agreeing with Saito's nonsense.
After a while, there was a commotion in the hall.
"Princess Akiko is here." Saito said.
"Who is Princess Akiko?" Fang Yu asked.
"She is the first princess of the current royal family, Akiko Fukuzawa." Saito said, "She is the dream lover of many young people in Dongri Island."
As he spoke, the stage in the middle of the hall slowly rose.
From Fang Yu's position, he could see a woman in a white evening dress standing on the stage.
This woman is indeed pretty, and her temperament is also in line with the nobility.
As soon as she appeared, she was surrounded by cheers and applause, just like a personal concert.
"... Next, I will introduce two guests who came from afar to everyone. They are Mr. Zheng Ze and his assistant, Mr. Xiao Yu."
After Akiko Fukuzawa gave an opening speech, she suddenly changed the subject.
