Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 570 The Lobbyist
The Fifth Prince Zhao Yan chuckled and said, "I heard that you, Brother Su, have a good relationship with Xu Chengxiang, the disciple of the 'Batianmen' sect master?"

Su Bai was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to mention "Batianmen" and Xu Chengxiang, did they investigate him?But there is nothing to hide about this kind of thing, he nodded and said: "Yes, Brother Xu and I met at the 'Lunjian Xiaohui' a few years ago, so we have some kind of friendship."

The fifth prince Zhao Yan nodded and said, "You know my current situation, brother Su. Whether I can gain a firm foothold in Liaozhou has a lot to do with whether I can get the support of the 'Batianmen'."

Su Bai raised his brows, is he going to be a lobbyist?He pondered for a moment, and said: "Brother, although I know Brother Xu, who is also the sect master's disciple, but I don't think I can influence the decision-making of the 'Batianmen' with my identity, so..."

The fifth prince waved his hands and said, "Brother Su, you are thinking too much. I didn't ask you to do anything else. I just asked you to thread the needle and connect with the 'Batianmen'. I will arrange the rest on my own. I won’t make it difficult for you, Brother Su.”

Su Bai's face froze, it was because he was being affectionate, he touched his nose and said, "Brother, you have other plans, but younger brother takes himself too seriously."

The fifth prince, Zhao Yan, said with a serious expression: "Brother Su, please don't say that. You must know that we had no relationship with the 'Batianmen' before this! If I have no communication, even if I have [-] mouths, I will say I can't talk!"

"Then what should I do, little brother?" Su Bai asked tentatively.

The fifth prince smiled and said: "It's very simple. Didn't you come to Changbai City? You have to pay a visit to Xu Chengxiang, right? Then make an appointment to meet him and find out the other party's tone. If the other party is willing to see me, then I will Appear, if the other party is unwilling, then...you can only think of other ways!"

Su Bai was taken aback when he heard the words, the other party's posture was very low!Even in the face of Xu Chengxiang, he was so polite. From this point of view, the fifth prince really has no friendship with the "Batianmen", and he is absolutely unwilling to offend the "Batianmen". It seems that the strength of the "Batianmen" is really not good. General!No wonder it is said that whether it can gain a firm foothold in Liaozhou has a lot to do with whether it can get the support of "Batianmen".

Su Bai thought for a moment, then said: "Brother, as far as I know, Brother Xu is only a disciple of the head of Meng Jingyun's sect. Does contact with him have such a great effect? ​​Brother Xu can also influence the 'Batianmen'. decision making?"

Fifth Prince Zhao Yan shook his head slightly and said: "Brother Su, it seems that you don't know your friend very well! Xu Chengxiang's status in the 'Batianmen' is not low, and the relationship between the other party and the daughter of the head of Mengmen is even more serious. It's unusual, and the other party may even inherit the position of the head of the 'Batianmen' in the future, do you think he can speak up?"

Su Bai was taken aback when he heard the words, of course he knew that Xu Chengxiang and Meng Mengmeng had a good relationship, but we had always been friends, so he didn't think deeply about it, when he was in contact with Xu Chengxiang on weekdays, he also felt that Xu Chengxiang was approachable and had no airs. Now that I think about it carefully, the other party's position in the "Batianmen" seems to be really extraordinary!
After thinking up to this point, Su Bai didn't say anything more, nodded and said: "Okay then, I'll go look for Brother Xu tomorrow, and then invite him to come to Changbai City for a reunion, and then we can see clearly."

The fifth prince was overjoyed when he heard the words, but said: "Brother Su has just arrived in Changbai City, why don't you rest for two more days?"

Su Bai waved his hands and said: "My little brother has already rested when he was in the 'Qingfeng Sect', and his body is not so delicate. It's still important to get down to business."

Hearing Su Bai's words, the fifth prince no longer refused. After the two agreed on which restaurant to meet, they stopped talking about business and continued to drink.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Bai left Changbai City early, all the way to the outside of the 'Batian Gate', after the notification, Xu Chengxiang came out to meet him in person, followed by Meng Mengmeng, Meng Mengmeng looked mature Quite a few, but in the blink of an eye, you can vaguely see some of the mischievousness of the past.

Xu Chengxiang didn't change much, he clasped his fists from a long distance and said, "Brother Su, you haven't seen me for a long time!"

Meng Mengmeng nodded repeatedly at the side and said, "That's right! Ever since I took that medicinal wine, there has been no one in sight. Do you think we are useless and stop interacting with us?"

Su Bai smiled bitterly silently, just now he felt that the other party had matured, but his temperament has not changed at all!He cupped his fists at Xu Chengxiang and said, "Long time no see, brother Xu, I was busy a while ago, so I'll come to visit you when I have time!"

"Hmph! You still have a conscience!" Meng Mengmeng snorted arrogantly, her face looked better now.

Of course Xu Chengxiang was only joking, he took Su Bai's arm and walked into the mountain gate, saying, "It's been a long time since I came here, this time I'll stay for a few more days, you and I haven't had a drink for a long time!"

Su Bai exerted a little force on his feet, not letting the other party pull, and said with a smile, "Brother has that intention! Why don't we go directly to Changbai City and find a restaurant, and we won't return if we don't get drunk!"

Xu Chengxiang paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright! Then go to the city!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too!" Meng Mengmeng shouted at the side.

So the three of them didn't enter the "Batianmen", and came directly to Changbai City. Originally, according to Xu Chengxiang's intention, they wanted to call Yu Chenghe together, but because Su Bai had other things to talk to the other party this time, he decided to leave. He found an excuse to decline, but Xu Chengxiang didn't force it.

After arriving in Changbai City, it is very early at noon, but when is the drinking time!The three of them went directly to the reserved restaurant and found a private room to sit down. Meng Mengmeng skillfully ordered some food and wine, and soon the three of them drank.

After drinking for three rounds, Xu Chengxiang suddenly straightened his expression and said, "Brother Su, you came to Changbai City to look for me this time. Is there something wrong? If you have business, let's talk about business first. There is no rush to drink. "

Su Bai was still thinking about how to speak, and if he didn't want the other party to speak first, he didn't bother to talk about him, and nodded directly: "Brother Xu is right, this time brother is here, I really have something to say to Brother Xu explain."

"Hehe, I've seen it before, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Brother Yu to come together, tell me, what's the matter? As long as brother can help, I will never refuse!" Xu Chengxiang laughed, because his expression was too Being too serious made his eyebrows look sharper.

Su Bai poured wine for the two of them, didn't say anything directly, but asked: "Brother Xu, what do you think of the current situation in the world?"

Xu Chengxiang was taken aback when he heard the words, obviously he didn't expect Su Bai to say this, seeing that Su Bai was not joking, he didn't speak rashly, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "I'm afraid the world is not peaceful now. It’s just that there are wars everywhere! But Brother Su, you are all people in the world, and you didn’t seem to care about this before, why are you now..."

Su Bai slowly shook his head and said: "People in the Jianghu, but what are Jianghu? Isn't the whole world full of Jianghu?"

Xu Chengxiang nodded silently, of course he was right to say that, and said, "I didn't expect you, Brother Su, to see it very clearly. If the world is really in chaos, no one will be able to escape the flames of war."

Su Bai's eyes lit up, since the other party said so, it seems that today's matter has some clues!He struck while the iron was hot: "Since Big Brother Xu has this understanding, what are his plans?"

Xu Chengxiang glanced at him meaningfully, and said: "Now the situation has not developed to that point, what can I do? Besides, even if it does get to that point, I can only do what others do. "

Su Bai's face froze, what kind of answer is this?Do what others say you do?But other people's choices are different!Some people think of self-protection and avoiding the world in the troubled times, while some people devote themselves to it and take advantage of the situation. What is your choice?

Su Bai is really not suitable to be a lobbyist, and he is too lazy to entangle with the other party. After he really couldn't figure out what Xu Chengxiang meant, he said straight to the point: "Brother Xu, to be honest, I am sworn brother with the Fifth Prince. So this time, it’s… it’s…”

When the critical moment came, Su Bai got stuck again. After all, the Fifth Prince didn't tell him what to do. Should he directly ask the other party if he wants to meet the Fifth Prince?But what to say before that?

Seeing Su Bai's troubled look, Xu Chengxiang nodded slowly and said, "Then Brother Su is here to be a lobbyist this time?"

Su Bai quickly shook his head, and said: "Brother, how could you be a lobbyist! It's like this, the fifth prince really wants to meet Brother Xu, and as for what to say when you meet, you should be able to guess what Brother Xu is going to say, of course, this is completely It depends on you, Brother Xu, if you want to see the fifth prince, then I can invite him over now, if you don't want to meet Brother Xu, then today is the day when we brothers drink, there will be no one else!"

Xu Chengxiang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to be like this at all, for a while, he was really moved by the sincerity of the fifth prince, but he didn't answer Su Bai's question immediately, but said: "I didn't expect Brother Su You actually became sworn brothers with the Fifth Prince, which is different from your behavior before! I remember that you seemed unwilling to even go to the capital, why did you jump into this vortex on your own initiative now?"

Su Bai smiled wryly and said: "It's nothing. I just feel that if we can't avoid the fact that we are in the vortex, it's better to be proactive. It's better than being passive in everything."

Xu Chengxiang nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, since the fifth prince is so sincere, if I don't even meet him, I'm too ungrateful, just meet me!"

"That's really great! I'm going to inform the Fifth Prince!"
