Text Chapter 1264: Turn Hostility Into Friendship

"Yes, yes, that's what the disciple meant." Zhongli Kuai also responded quickly.

The three of them jumped up and down to explain, and the reasoning was correct. Qian Luo finally snorted coldly and let go of Meng Zigao's ear, pointing at Zhongli Kuai's nose, "If you want to do it, do it properly. Contact quickly and see how to cooperate."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhongli Kuai responded repeatedly, and then showed a cautious and tentative look, saying: "Elder, why is our Tianxing Palace helping that guy in secret?"

"Ah!" With a scream, Zhongli Kuai was grabbed by the neck by Qian Luo and beaten violently.

Dare to inquire about this? Meng Zigao and Jing An felt a chill, and then turned a blind eye. They both shrank against the wall. They had no intention of saving Zhongli Kuai at all. Instead, they felt that they were afraid of being implicated and were afraid to avoid him...

Half a month later, the 29 managers of the Chamber of Commerce gathered again.

Hu Yuyuan, the shopkeeper, threw a jade disc in his hand to the president Zhou Ran, who was at the top, and said, "This is the invitation from General Niu."

Many people looked at each other in surprise, while Huangfu Junman, who was present, looked at the jade disc in Zhou Ran's hand with anticipation, as if she wanted to see what was inside.

After Zhou Ran looked at the things in his hand, he looked at the people present and said curiously, "Why didn't I, the president, receive the invitation? Who else among you received it?"

"I received it."

"I received it too."

Han Li, the shopkeeper, Mei Shao Jiumei, the shopkeeper, Shen Longshen, the shopkeeper, Liao Xiuchun Liao, and Guan Xiaoyao Guan, all took out a jade disc and shook it in their hands.

Want to see it? Seeing that others were staring at it, the five people did not hide it and threw it out.

"I have it here too." Wu Hanshan, the vice president in charge of Dongcheng District, also took out a jade disc and shook it, and placed it on the table in front of him. The master behind him was the Kou family, one of the four kings.

Huangfu Junmeng took the piece and checked it. From beginning to end, it was indeed an invitation to a banquet. It said that there were many misunderstandings in the past, and hoped to turn hostility into friendship from now on. It invited Liao Xiuchun, the shopkeeper, to the dinner in three days. The seal at the end was also Niu Youde's, and she knew Niu Youde's seal.

Everyone took turns to pass it and read it one by one. Their expressions were different.

"Humph!" After throwing the jade disc back to the original owner, Tian Fenghao, the shopkeeper, said disdainfully: "Now you know it and are afraid, what did you do before?" He was not very interested in Miao Yi, and the reason was naturally related to the mistress behind him, Cha Ruyan.

Zhou Ran shook his head and said: "Strange, it seems that all the people invited are from Dongcheng District. Has no one in other districts received the invitation?"

"We haven't heard of anyone receiving the invitation here. Have you heard the news?"

Wu Conggong, the vice president in charge of Xicheng District, looked at the people sitting below and asked. The master behind him was the Ying family, one of the four kings.

"I haven't heard of it." Someone below shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

This situation immediately puzzled everyone present. Huangfu Junmeng frowned, wondering what Miao Yi was up to.

"What is Niu Youde up to?" Shopkeeper Hu Yuyuan looked around at everyone and couldn't help but laugh and joked, "Could it be that because he was born as the leader of Dongcheng District, he only wants to make peace with the people of Dongcheng District, but doesn't want to reconcile with the rest of you?"

"That shouldn't be the case!" Wu Hanshan pointed to Yuxu Zhenren who was sitting below as a decoration and said, "Shopkeeper Yuxu and Niu Youde are somewhat friendly, didn't he also receive the invitation?"

Tian Fenghao said with a smile, "The granddaughter of the head of the sect is always with Niu Youde as a close follower. Maybe she has already been taken in by Niu Youde. Does she need an invitation to resolve the conflict?"

Huangfu Junmeng glanced at him sideways, her eyes a little unfriendly. She didn't like to hear this.

Yuxu Zhenren said slowly: "Shopkeeper Tian, ​​please keep your mouth shut!"

Tian Fenghao sneered: "I'm not wrong! A man and a woman are like dry firewood, and they can be ignited at a touch. Who can guarantee..."

"Okay!" Zhou Ran interrupted, "Shopkeeper Tian, ​​don't digress."

Tian Fenghao smiled and leaned back on the chair, "President Zhou, I just think that when we discuss some things, shouldn't some people avoid suspicion? Don't say that we wronged so-and-so when something happens later."

Everyone glanced at Yuxu Zhenren vaguely, and the latter said nothing. He stood up, straightened his Taoist robe, and turned away directly.

Everyone looked at me. I looked at you, and no one tried to stop him.

Without Yuxu Zhenren, everyone's conversation suddenly became relaxed. Huangfu Junmeng, who was in the middle of it, raised her eyebrows slightly, and there seemed to be some satisfaction between her eyebrows and eyes. The reason was very simple, because she felt that the person who was really close to Niu Youde was her, not Yuxu Zhenren, and she was very proud of her confidentiality.

Tian Fenghao said bluntly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you in the Dongcheng District area. Since ancient times, there has been no good banquet and no good meeting. Be careful that Niu Youde has set a trap waiting for you to fall into the net."

Huangfu Junmeng said: "Only the people in Dongcheng District were attacked, and the people in the other three districts were scared to death. Niu Youde is not that stupid, right?"

"That's right!" Many people nodded and muttered.

Wu Hanshan smacked his lips, puzzled, and said, "So what do you think Niu Youde wants to do?"

Huangfu Junman pointed at the invitation in front of him and said, "Didn't they say very clearly that they want to make peace with the people in Dongcheng District, and the people in the other three districts will continue to fight against each other? Isn't it asking for trouble to make such a clear attitude?"

Yang Qing's plan seemed normal, but it was actually confusing. It completely confused the group of people. All kinds of reliable and unreliable guesses came out, but in the end, they all felt unreliable. The group of people were upset. What the hell was this?

"If you ask me, don't even think about it." Tian Fenghao patted the table and said, "Let's be straightforward! Everyone join forces and work together to directly rush into the city guard palace and chop Niu Youde to death. Completely eliminate the trouble, and don't have to waste your energy on guessing and worrying all day long! To put it bluntly, if one or several families do this, it may provoke the anger of the higher-ups. If everyone joins forces to do it, then the law will not be held responsible for everyone, and everyone will be fine."

The group rolled their eyes.

Huangfu Junman was even more cold-eyed, and found that Tian Fenghao was simply trying his best to put Miao Yi to death to vent the anger of the master behind him, and kept encouraging him. A shopkeeper can say such bold words. I'm afraid there may be someone behind the scenes, some things, especially such a big thing, how can a shopkeeper decide? Anyway, she didn't believe that Tian Fenghao had such a big courage, just spreading this word would easily cause trouble. It can be seen from Tian Fenghao's desire to force Yuxu Zhenren out.

At this time, Huangfu Junmao integrated herself into the pure personal position of Miao Yi and began to worry deeply about Miao Yi. It was fine that Miao Yi cut off thousands of heads in Tianjie back then, after all, they were the heads of family slaves, but killing so many powerful children during the assessment, I'm afraid it's not possible to get away with it, as can be seen from Tian Fenghao's attitude. In the future, there will be many people in Tianjie who secretly trip Miao Yi, and the purpose is naturally to put Miao Yi to death. It is unlikely to openly contradict Miao Yi's power. After all, Miao Yi represents the Heavenly Court here, but once those people secretly find an opportunity, Miao Yi's fate can be imagined!

Even if Miao Yi really wanted to turn hostility into friendship by sending out the invitation, Tian Fenghao's attitude also made Huangfu Junmeng alert. She didn't think Miao Yi was still suitable to stay in Tianjie. There were too many powerful people with different backgrounds here. Not every powerful person had a broad mind when their children were killed. She couldn't figure out who was secretly harboring evil intentions. She was going to go back and persuade Miao Yi. Leave Tianjie as soon as possible. This is a place of trouble and find another place with a relatively single force.

But on second thought, Miao Yi's foundation for these years is in Tianjie. In addition to being based here, Huangfu Junmeng didn't know where Miao Yi could go, and where else could he go? What's more, there are so many trusted followers here!

Little did she know that Miao Yi also wanted to leave here, and even contacted Gao Guan, but he couldn't leave!

Wu Hanshan sneered, "Manager Tian, ​​you make it sound easy."

"No, no!" Zhou Ranyi waved his hand to stop him and said, "If Niu Youde really pushed us to that point, your situation would be justified for self-protection. But if there is nothing, we will take the initiative to join forces to kill him. What kind of nature is that? Just because of our background? Can we join forces to rush into the Shoucheng Palace? The Shoucheng Palace represents the Heavenly Court here. Niu Youde is the commander-in-chief who guards a region for His Majesty. We joined forces to do this for no reason. If we can do this today, can others do the same tomorrow? What do you think His Majesty will think? You don't even follow the basic rules of the game. Do you want to rebel?"

Seeing that no one agreed, Tian Fenghao laughed, "I was just joking. That guy is really annoying. Anyway, the banquet is for people from your Dongcheng District. It's up to you to decide whether to go or not!"

The matter did not come to a conclusion in the end. It can only be said that if something happens, everyone will advance and retreat together. However, no one knows whether this promise can be fulfilled until there is a possibility of threat to oneself.

After the meeting, Huangfu Junmang contacted Miao Yi as soon as she returned to the Hall of Heroes, wanting to meet him, but Miao Yi dismissed her with a single sentence saying that he had some official business to attend to.

Who knows if he really had some official business to attend to! Huangfu Junmang was so angry that she wanted to go to him directly to verify, but the Palace of Guarding the City was protected by a large array, and she couldn't even go through the tunnel. If Miao Yi didn't activate the large array, she would definitely trigger the alarm if she broke in, so she couldn't enter the Palace of Guarding the City without Miao Yi's consent.

And Miao Yi did have some official business to attend to, and hundreds of invitations to invite the shop owners of the top shops in Dongcheng District had already been sent out. The next step was naturally to organize the banquet, and Miao Yi gave this matter to Xu Tangran to handle.

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely get this done." Xu Tangran patted his chest and made a promise.

"There is another thing I need you to do."

"Just give me your orders, Commander-in-Chief."

Miao Yi changed to voice transmission, "Try to get some poison, preferably one that is colorless and odorless and can't be found in food."

"Ah!" Xu Tangran was shocked, looked around, and also changed to voice transmission: "Does the Commander-in-Chief really want to attack those shop owners at the banquet?"

"What the hell? If they want to attack, they won't just target Dongcheng District. Just do it. I have other uses."

Xu Tangran thought about it and nodded, "Okay! I'll take care of it."

Miao Yi warned, "Don't let the news leak out, and don't let people know that it's related to you. If the news leaks out, come to me with your head!"

Xu Tangran said stealthily, "Don't worry, sir, I promise to do it secretly!"

"Go!"

After waving his hand to dismiss Xu Tangran, Miao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched Xu Tangran leave.

Letting Xu Tangran do such a shameful thing is not only because Xu Tangran is good at doing such immoral things, but also because as an outsider, Xu Tangran knows too many things. If Miao Yi does not drag him down and make him unable to climb out of the water forever, he will not feel at ease to keep him around! (To be continued)
