Chapter 326 Preparations with both hands
Chapter 326 Preparation
The banquet gradually climaxed with Guo Lin's arrival, because most of the purpose was to wait for the attitude of Guo Lin or Yunze Sect. After all, more and more signs indicate that the city is about to be the next target.
"Actually, there is no other purpose for inviting everyone here today. Instead, we will discuss with you on the things that everyone cares most." The head of the Hong family pressed down and signaled to quiet, then he spoke, "As we all know, many cities near the Yunze Mountains have recently risen many emerging forces and have begun to challenge the status of old forces. Many old forces have disbanded or surrendered, and the cities have also fallen into the hands of these emerging forces." The head of the Hong family paused and continued, "Although the rise of emerging forces is understandable, it happened that many cities near the Yunze Mountains have rapidly risen and started to challenge old forces at almost the same time. This is naturally intriguing."
"So, after multiple investigations and inquiries from the Hong family, we finally confirmed the news that behind these emerging forces, there is a very huge force operating behind them. This force is very powerful. Even if several old forces from cities unite, they are still disintegrated in the end." Speaking of this, the head of the Hong family paused and continued, "and all signs indicate that the city is about to become the next target."
As soon as the head of the Hong family finished speaking, it was like a bombshell, which made the atmosphere of the people in the hall suddenly tense. The people who might have been talking secretly can't help but start to discuss loudly, especially some nearby forces, even if they were hostile in the past, they abandoned their past grudges and began to discuss the future.
Although the scene was noisy, the head of the Hong family had no intention of stopping it, because the more panicked the scene, the more favor it was to him.
"Shuh!" Seeing that the area in the hall became more and more panic, people became more and more anxious, the head of the Hong family finally coughed at this time.
With this cough, the atmosphere in the hall became strangely quiet. Everyone who quieted down looked straight at the head of the Hong family, wanting to hear what he said and want to see what ideas he could come up with.
However, the head of the Hong family seemed to enjoy this feeling of attention. Therefore, after calming down, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he looked quite grandly for a while before he slowly spoke, "I know everyone's concerns, and I also know what the purpose of gathering here today is. Although everyone is very panicked and passive, he is like a flock of tigers coming." The head of the Hong family did not feel panic at all, but said slowly, "So I asked everyone to come today to solve this problem."
"Captain Hong, what are the opinions?" asked the city lord Zuocheng. Although he knew that most people were coming for Guo Lin today, everyone basically had no contact with Guo Lin and had nothing to do with Yunze Sect, so he didn't dare to ask questions rashly. After all, the tempers of these big sects are elusive.
"When we unite, we can become stronger as long as we unite." said the head of the Hong family. "Recently, our Hong family discussed with some friendly forces and prepared to build a large chamber of commerce, a large chamber of commerce with many forces. We want to bring most of the forces together and then unite to strive for benefits that are beneficial to everyone. After all, the power of one person and one family is obviously not as strong as the power of cooperation among several companies. And as I said, because it is the nature of the chamber of commerce, most of the situation is exchanged and help each other through the nature of exchange of interests. In the final analysis, it is the situation of doing business. In this way, there will be no problem of who will surrender to whom and who will be ordered by whom, but it can be united to become a force."
Hearing what the head of the Hong family said, if you want to unite everyone to form a force, the situation of the chamber of commerce will not restrict each other. However, once the chamber of commerce is established, the Hong family will definitely occupy a large part of it. If you use this as an opportunity to deal with it, it will probably not take long for those forces that could be on par with the Hong family to completely lose the power to compete with the Hong family, especially when the enemy is in the face of a great enemy.
"But what is the purpose of this? There have been cities that have been united before, and there have been several cities that have even joined forces, but the results are not at all different.
Once emerging forces are favored, their strength will suddenly increase. Even if the united forces give it a try, they will still be blocked by powerful formations and sudden masters. After the failure of force, the remaining trade routes will be slowly eroded and eventually collapsed." The lord of Zuocheng shook his head, obviously not very much in agreement with the Hong family's method, and he is more inclined to listen to Guo Lin's opinions.
"Of course I know that even if I unite, I can't defeat them. After all, many examples are already in front of me." The head of the Hong family stroked his beard and seemed to have anticipated all of this, so he seemed quite calm. "The reason why I want to unite everyone is not to fight against those people, but to let the city combine a force. In this way, after those people come here, they find that there is only one force in the entire city, so that this force will naturally be selected to support it. This force is actually composed of many forces in our city. In this way, no one will become a stepping stone for others, but can develop together and make progress together."
"Good guy, are you going to unite and then surrender together? Your abacus is really good." The head of the Ren family, who is also the four major families in Zuocheng, mocked, "Since they all surrender, why should you join your Hong family and surrender? Just surrender directly."
"I said, it's not that I joined my Hong family, but that we all united together." The head of the Hong family said immediately, "After all, it's not so much restraint in the form of the chamber of commerce, and my Hong family is just an advocate."
"Hmph." After hearing what the head of the Hong family said, many people sneered. It was difficult for anyone to believe that the Hong family was selfless and willing to contribute.
"Since your Hong family does not have this plan, after the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, will your Hong family dare to promise not to covet the position of the power?" The head of the Ren family said something and immediately transferred the contradictions in the field to the Hong family. After all, although the rules for establishing the Chamber of Commerce are free, the power in it can still have a certain right to distribute, and it is difficult to do so without being favored by one or the other, and this power is obviously what everyone wants.
"If the power is capable, the position of the Hong family will be able to get it. If my Hong family has the ability, they will naturally want to take a try." The head of the Hong family said, and the Hong family obviously did not intend to make promises easily.
"After all, I have the intention to do it." The head of the Ren family continued to mock, and the words of the Hong family caused some shock in the hall.
"Of course, if the other three major families in the city can promise not to compete for the position of the ruler, then my Hong family will naturally not compete. After all, the dispute between the four major families has been around for a long time, and my Hong family is unwilling to give others a knife." The head of the Hong family said calmly, "I wonder what the three of you mean?"
"We have no objection to our Ren family." The head of the Ren family knew that the head of the Hong family pointed the conflict at him, so he immediately made a judgment. After all, no matter who gets the most benefits in the end, at least he cannot let himself suffer first.
"No objection." "No objection." The patriarchs of the other two families also expressed their opinions, but they had no more words. They continued to watch the Ren family compete with the Hong family here. After all, the Ren family and the Hong family are the two most undealing.
"No matter how much I have no objection, but how do you know that those people will definitely choose us? If you feel that it is not good and rebuild a new force, will our efforts be wasted?" said the head of the Ren family, and as soon as this was said, it led the problem to the Hong family.
This issue is also a concern for everyone. If they join forces in the future, they will be considered a threat and directly erased as hostile forces, then they will be done together. It is better to have a great fortune than that.
"Since I dare to say this, I must be fully confident. If it weren't, wouldn't it have let everyone down?" said the head of the Hong family confidently. "As we all know, the reason why my Hong family has established a foothold in formation is because our ancestors once had a formation master at the Tianquan level. It was because of the protection of our ancestors that our Hong family has developed to this day. It's a pity that our ancestors have passed away. If it weren't for the Hong family, they wouldn't have fallen to this point."
When everyone heard the head of the Hong family say this, they couldn't help but sneer in secret. If the Hong family had a master of Tianquan in charge, their nose would have been raised to the sky long ago and they could still sit together and talk with them like this.
"Although time has changed and my ancestors are not here, my ancestors have left many treasures for my Hong family to help me survive the disaster. Even though most of them have been consumed over the years, there are still a few treasures that I can take to take."
The head of the family said, "These treasures are powerful and precious. Even the masters of Tianquan will not underestimate them. My Hong family uses this as a bargaining chip to exchange interests with those people, and they will naturally gain favor." As he said, the head of the Hong family couldn't help but sigh, as if they were in love, "If it weren't for the incompetence of our descendants, how could we have used the treasures of our ancestors like this."
Although the head of the Hong family was so vivid, everyone present was a talented person. Everyone knew that the head of the Hong family was seeking credit in advance, but no one said anything. After all, not everyone could produce treasures that could be favored by the masters of the Tianquan level. Although the other big families were a little helpless, they had to admit that they could not produce things of this level. Even if the Hong family occupied a large part of the chamber of commerce in the future, they had nothing to say. After all, they had no contribution to comparable to the Hong family.
"Oh? I don't know what treasure it is, so how about it?" The head of the Ren family was still a little unwilling to give up.
"This treasure is very powerful. If it weren't for the Tianquan level master who controls the power of heaven and earth, he would easily be injured and fell by the treasure. Even if we are the direct bloodlines, we would not dare to come forward rashly. Of course, if you can't believe me, go with me to take a look." The head of the Hong family smiled and obviously had great confidence in his own treasure.
"No need, I believe in the character of the Hong family." The head of the Luo family, one of the four major families, waved his hand and said that he would not get involved, as was the head of the Wan family next to him.
"Hmph." The head of the Ren family was quite unhappy when he saw the two families performing directly, but he did not make any further statements. After all, if he was the only one, he still didn't have much courage to see it. If the Hong family made some moves, he would not be able to bear it. This was the territory of the Hong family after all.
"However, there is another problem, that is, we surrender like this, how do the royal family explain and how do the Yunze Sect explain?" At this time, the head of the Luo family suddenly looked at the city lord and Guo Lin, and the eyes of everyone in the hall also turned around.
Yes, although they had already thought of a strategy to surrender to the enemy, they were not in the enemy camp after all, and the imperial royal family and the Yunze sect were still on the side. If this problem is not solved well and they are destroyed by the people here first, it is really reasonable and can't be explained.
"I have already started the order, and I got the order to wait and see, and there is nothing else." said the city lord of the city. "In this case, the city lord's mansion will choose the most favorable choice, and I will not repeat the others."
After the head of the Luo family finished speaking, the lord of Zuocheng immediately gave an answer, which was to choose the most favorable side. In other words, if it was beneficial here, he would naturally abandon the royal family and the Yunze Sect, but he did not say it clearly. After all, no one could predict the final thing.
Hearing the city lord's words, everyone couldn't help but curse the old fox, a fence-bearing mansion, and the two sides could not be treated as an allies. If the royal family and the Yunze Sect come to the door in the future, it is probably impossible for the city lord's mansion to turn against him at the first time. However, the city lord's mansion is now very powerful, and there are also the support of the royal family and the Yunze Sect behind it. Before those people came here, everyone would not dare to break up with the city lord's mansion.
The attitude of the City Lord's Mansion showed that the only thing that left was the Yunze Sect's meaning. This time, the Yunze Sect sent Guo Lin here. With Guo Lin's current status in the Yunze Sect, her words could obviously represent the Yunze Sect's position here. Therefore, after the city lord of the city made a statement, everyone's eyes turned to Guo Lin. After all, such an important disciple must have come here with a purpose. At least the many forces here think so.
And it was just these forces who thought so, because Guo Lin came here purely because the ancestors of the Hong family had a friendship with the Yunze Sect. At the same time, the Hong family's formation was helpful for the establishment of the Yunze Sect, so she was sent here in person. As for the repeated falls of the forces around Yunze Mountain, she did not know carefully. After all, she was not responsible for this. Moreover, the Yunze Sect has such a large sphere of influence, one more city and one less city, which does not seem obvious, and the city is not one of the important cities.
