The big rivers and lakes that attack

Chapter 213 Go, Go, Beat Xiao Qi

This is not to scold them as beasts, but to praise them in another situation. Each of the 18 people represents a kind of beast. For example, the boss of the Hong family back then was called "Fanyunjiao".

After that, there are "dragon entering the cloud", "tiger flying in the ravine", "black scaled snake" and so on, which represent the character of this person.

Among them, the ancestor of the Hong family is called "Smiling Suan Ni", and he is the most able to hold the scene. Although the brother is ranked ninth, everyone respects him.

Starting from the "Eighteen Beasts", after more than a hundred years of development, the efforts of three generations, and many hardships and obstacles, have covered the business to the 72 states in the west of Middle-earth, and now it has extended to the southeast.

However, they are different from others in that other sects fight for territory and for the expansion of power.

Mingtang, on the other hand, is only doing business, and its scope is still limited to Chenzhou and the two prefectures it radiates to, without any outward expansion.

But even so, in this middle land, no one would dare to underestimate the "clear" Hong Family Tang.

Because, in the process of doing business, they have made many friends, and their real strength is already comparable to those of those big surnames.

Making friends is a process of investing. Many big shots received Ming Tang's help when they were very poor when they were young. Later, these big shots became Ming Tang's most staunch allies.

It stands to reason that Li Haoran, the now penniless "under the half-mountain sect", after showing his skills in the borderlands, is enough for Ming Tang to invest in him in the early stage in exchange for a firm ally in the future.

But the problem is, this person's background is too... How should I put it, it's weird.Just as Lin Zhanfeng, who is known as the "Mad Dog in the Mid-Mountain", said, he did not dare to go home, probably because there was a powerful enemy in his hometown.

And these, or this enemy, are nothing more than the situations mentioned by Lin Zhanfeng. If Ming Tang really invests in Li Haoran, does that mean that he will be an enemy of those people or those forces?

Is Li Haoran planning to use Mingtang's power to play games with his enemies in the name of "Geographic Map of Ruin Desolation"?

Except for the three schools of Buddha, Taoism, and demons, the Banshan sword master, the four swords, and the dragon that caught the phoenix, Mingtang is not afraid of anyone or any force.

Even if it was a fight with the surnames of "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Dongfang Nangong Wai Wang", Mingtang felt that it was no big deal, but the question was, was Li Haoran worth Mingtang's fight with others?
After some discussion, the principals of the "Eighteen Houses" of the Ming Family finally reached an agreement—it was unnecessary and not worth it.

The patriarch of the Hong family, this "smiling suanni" meant this to the second sister Hong, but there was a button in the middle.

That is, if you young people in the sixth room want to make friends with Li Haoran, that is a private matter between you juniors and has nothing to do with Mingtang.Mingtang will only follow the rules and will not invest in him.

If his formidable enemy asks about Ming Tang in the future, Ming Tang can push him away.

"I don't know, we don't, oh, you said this, the juniors don't know the origin of that person, you want to deal with him, no problem, we Mingtang will not participate... Don't worry, don't worry, we will restrain those few Those of the younger generation will not let them add to the chaos."

And if Li Haoran really breaks through in the future and defeats his enemies, he will naturally become an ally of Mingtang, at least an ally of the "Sixth Chamber" based on his friendship with the juniors. , Ming Tang still made money.

As for the geographical map of Ruin Desolation, although it is very precious and important, it is insignificant compared to the significance of this matter itself, and that is just an addition.

If you want, yes, Mingtang has always been very generous, making friends, isn't that how it is?But the problem is, you have to have this qualification, and you have to get the approval of Lin Zhanfeng, a master of the ninth rank of swordsmanship who is also "under the Banshan sect".

"Hey~~ Everyone thinks that the ancestor is old and confused. According to what I have seen today, even if he is old, he is still very clear-headed. It's really amazing that he doesn't fall down when he is old."

In the secluded garden, with a gurgling stream, Hong Chuchen sat on a stone and soaked his bare feet in the clear stream.

There is a table next to it, on which there are several exquisite dishes, some dried fruits, tea and wine, tea is good tea, wine is also good wine.

Holding the wine glass and drinking it in one gulp, Hong Chuchen sighed.

On the other side of the desk, the big-hearted "Third Sister Fan" Hong Yourong also dipped her feet in the water, but frowning, she sipped the tea in the teacup without saying anything.

After a while, Hong Yourong put down the teacup, looked up at Hong Chuchen, and asked, "Second Sister, have you ever thought that the Patriarch might already be a Ninth Rank?"

"what!?"

Hearing this sentence suddenly, Second Sister Hong was so startled that she almost dropped her wine glass into the creek.

Hong Yourong said solemnly: "The patriarch is more than 180 years old this year. Even if he is on the ninth rank, his life span should be about the same. Everyone thinks that he is really old. Talking about the past."

"However, what the ancestor told you today, was there ever a little bit of confusion? The ancestor's mind is very clear, and he doesn't look like a dying person at all, so I doubt..."

"Is that so?" Hong Chuchen couldn't help frowning, and smiled after a while: "If that's the case, it's a good thing, but it's just a pain for our 'parents'."

"They have been planning to transform these years. After the ancestors go, who will inherit the 'big head' of this family? If the ancestors are really ninth-rank, they can at least prolong their lives for more than a hundred years. It is a pit for them. Hey, by the way, third sister, do you want to tell father about this?"

"I still don't want it." Hong Yourong picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth: "This is all my guess, how can I count it? Who knows if it's right or not."

"Besides, it's time to fight. We have to fight for this house. It's not like you don't know Father's temper. He's as stable as a head of Xuanwu."

"Now I finally have a sense of urgency. If we tell him this, what should he do if he retracts the swift 'snake head'? It's too deliberate, and I guess the ancestor doesn't like it."

"I think, if the old ancestor, I mean, if, if he really reaches the ninth rank, then his old man will probably take this opportunity to see the quality of the 'younger people', we just need to behave normally , there is no need to add extra branches."

Speaking of this, Hong Yourong clapped her hands, pulled her slender feet out of the stream, put on her shoes, and said:

"Of course, this is just my conjecture. It doesn't count. I guess only Lin Zhanfeng's 'mad dog' knows about the specific situation of the ancestor."

"Okay, that's all. I'm going to the 'Kirin Mansion'."

Hong Yourong put on her shoes, and jumped lightly, trembling gurglingly, looking very cheerful.

Hong Chuchen asked, "What are you doing there?"

Hong Yourong smiled and said: "Beat Xiaoqi, when you went to see the ancestor, I heard that he had already broken the four-person 'ten thousand knives array' arranged by the elder brother, I will go over and give him some more information."

Hong Chuchen's eyes lit up: "Let's go, let's go, together, together..."
