Inside the bar. Neon lights flash.

The charming girls of different skin colors twisted freely on the stage with explosive music. The crowds were watching around, some were flying whistles, some cheering, and the atmosphere was hot.

There is a table of people near the southwest corner of the bar, with five men and two women. They seem to be watching the dancer performing, but in fact they are communicating secretly.

"Damn it, the Second Ring Road of Xibu City is probably more prosperous than the Renmin Avenue in our Longcheng... I don't know what it is after going to the inner city!"

"I won't go to the inner city!"

"Captain, why?"

"The inner city is very cautious, we are all outsiders, and it is easy to be targeted and exposed to our identities!"

"Well, the captain is right, I agree!"

"I agree too! Anyway, we have already investigated the general situation of Huameng, so there is no need to take risks!"

...

These men and women are very strange. When their lips move, they can pass on what they want to say to their companions. The closest guests sitting next to them can't hear what they are talking to.

"The foundation of a Hua Alliance is comparable to that of our Longcheng... Who would have thought that there is still Jiulijun in the Miao District in the southwest, occupying the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and even the Indochina Peninsula was conquered!"

"What is most unexpected is that this Jiulijun is still the fourth wife of 'that'!"

"Damn it! This Li surname does have some tricks, and I can't admire him!"

"Lu Han, fortunately, your Lu family did not use any means to Mr. Li, otherwise it would be difficult to end the hornet's nest!"

"Their Lu family has not taken action now, which does not mean that they will remain calm... Hehehe, if we leave this time, the Lu family can't help but take action, and there will be a good show when the time comes!"

"Ning Chengyun, don't forget that the seven major families in Longcheng are in harmony and are closely related. Our Lu family is in trouble, and your Ning family can't help but survive?"

"Don't make a noise! ​​Save some energy. Take action tomorrow to separate the forces, find out the strength of the three major legions of the Hua League, and the general situation in the southwest, and seize the time to complete the task. Go back and report!"

After one of the men stared at several companions with a warning look, he called the waiter, paid the bill and left directly.

"Let's go too!"

The group of people stood up one after another and quickly left the dance hall. However, not long after they left, a young man in a black leather jacket appeared in the booth next to the group of people just now.

There is only one guest in this booth. He looks like a Southeast Asian ethnic group, dark skin, and in his thirties. He looks very ordinary, but his ears are particularly big, and he looks a bit like a lucky boy, quite ridiculous.

"Brother Kunlan, have you noticed it?" The young man in black sat down.

A Southeast Asian man, who he called "Kunlan", smiled and said in a less fluent Chinese: "These people are proficient in some techniques. They can condense their voices into lines and communicate with each other, so outsiders can't hear their conversation at all."

At this point, this person's two "cai-winning ears" actually slammed a few times and said proudly: "But they can't hide it from my ears."

Ten minutes later.

The young man in black stood up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he secretly sent a thick stack of banknotes to the Southeast Asian man named Kunlan.

"Xiaodong, thank you!"

“Happy cooperation!”

When the young man in black walked out of the bar, his eyes were sharp. He observed around and saw no one approaching. Then, he took out something similar to a walkie-talkie and whispered: "The No. 37 Fire under the command of the Dark Night is reported. The suspicious target comes from Longcheng..."

…………

The fifth piece of ancient jade appears.

While Li Ba received the news, Lan Ruoping also received relevant information and hurriedly took Lan Yan and Huangfu Yuxiu to say goodbye and leave. Although Lan Yan wanted to stay, she could not resist her sister-in-law and could only say to Li Ba that she would come over tomorrow.

Ancient jade is crucial to Li Ba. Therefore, he is determined to win this ancient jade.

However, not long after, the two ex-brother-in-law called and told the current situation of the ancient jade. On the phone, there was a long talk, and in the final analysis, there was only one sentence. The errand entrusted by Li Ba was not done. If you want to obtain this psychic ancient jade, you must use bidding methods.

Of course, there is another way. As long as Li Ba can convince the seven major families, this psychic ancient jade will naturally be his pocket. However, according to Shangguan Yiyang, it may be a bit difficult.

The reason is very simple. If the magical energy contained in the ancient jade does not exist, Li Ba will give certain benefits, and the seven major families will definitely let go. Now, this ancient jade contains the "Qingling" energy, which is extremely abundant, and can stimulate the waking of the newborn to change its talents, which is of great importance.

I'm afraid no family will give up easily!

Li Ba was very clear about the importance of the so-called "spiritual" energy contained in ancient jade to various major families. After thinking about it, he called Yuan Danqing and invited the head of the Yuan family to come for lunch.

The purpose is very simple, he wants to find out the Yuan family's tone.

At noon, the Yuan family and his son came as promised. Li Ba set up a table in the employee cafeteria, and the dishes were all taken from Huameng specialties, which were very rich.

Only the three of them were sitting next to the big round table. Liang Jie was also serving.

When Li Ba picked up the wine glass, Yuan Danqing smiled and said, "Brother, let's talk about the serious business first, and it's not too late to drink!"

"Okay!" Li Ba nodded. The other party was ready, and he didn't beat around the bush and told his feelings truthfully.

"Brother Li, I won't say much about the importance of this psychic ancient jade... However, no matter how precious the psychic ancient jade is, it is okay to ask my Yuan family to withdraw from the auction based on the relationship between you and me. I even devote all my family's strength to help me shoot this psychic ancient jade, and some people will discuss it!" Yuan Danqing expressed his attitude.

"Thank you!" Li Ba was overjoyed after hearing this. With this support, the chances of obtaining ancient jade have increased greatly.

"Brother, don't thank me first!"

Yuan Danqing shook his hand and began to analyze it for Li Ba: "The top ten forces in Longcheng have the strongest foundation in Wuzong, but Daoyin Valley has already spoken this time and will not participate in the auction of the lingual ancient jade. In this way, only nine families will be left."

After a pause, he continued: "Xuanyuan Society and Guangming Society, these two families belong to private organizations, and their financial resources are absolutely impossible to compare with you. There are also my seven major families, so they can be excluded!"

Li Ba nodded after hearing this. He understood what this person meant, and the key was that the seven major families were.

"The Ning family has a good relationship with my Yuan family, and Cheng Jin's child and my brother are also very close. Therefore, I will come forward to talk to Xiang, and the Ning family should give in... Of course, I will also have to make some blood to let the Ning family get some rewards!"

"Brother Yuan, don't worry, Li will not miss the feelings he should express!" Li Ba said. He already had a preliminary plan in his mind and gave family compensation to the concession.

Yuan Danqing nodded after hearing this, and then his tone began to become solemn: "I can be sure that the five major families are left, including the Shangguan family, the owner of the auction house, are determined to win this psychic ancient jade. If you want to persuade them to give in, the chance is very slim!"

"I can exchange items that are enough to make them excited!" Li Ba said. The five Qingming battleships he had been storing in the bracelet space finally came in handy this time.

"I believe in my ability!"

Yuan Danqing nodded, then changed his tone and said, "But, I can tell you with certainty that even if you take out any precious items, they will not give in to each other this time!"

"Why?" Li Ba couldn't react a little.

"Uncle Li, the reason is very simple. Who made you the president of the Great Parliament of Huameng?"

Yuan Feng interrupted. However, it was his words that immediately awakened Li Ba.

"There is no two days, and there is no two kings in the country!"

Yuan Danqing did not beat around the bush at this moment and said bluntly: "Brother, your Huameng is so large that it has long become a heart-wrenching problem for the Council. To be honest, a few days ago, the Council had passed a resolution to try to make the Huameng subordinate to Longcheng!"

After a pause, he said, "Of course, the Council cannot be strong on you. Brother, you dare to go to North China alone with a bunch of guards and come to Longcheng to do business. It is not a Raptor but the river. Even if there is some noise, the mainstream opinions of the Council will still negotiate with you to discuss the possibility of Huameng joining Longcheng!"

After hearing this, Li Ba touched his chin and did not express his opinion. Longcheng regarded himself as the orthodox Chinese and wanted to annex the Huameng Alliance, which did not surprise him. He could even tell from Yuan Danqing's tone that if the people in power in Longcheng were not afraid of him, he would have used tough measures to him.

Instead of letting him open a store in the city to do business, provide convenience, and maintain cooperative relationships like now.

After all, strength determines everything. If Huameng is weak, the people in power in Longcheng will not give him the opportunity to sit down and negotiate.

It’s right to have ambitions. However, if you use the wrong ambition, you might be able to poke a hornet’s nest.

Although Longcheng is powerful, Huameng also has its own trump card. Not to mention anything else, the Talisman Tower built by it consumes huge resources is not for people to show off. The thirty-six Talisman Formation of Small Zhoutian can be engraved inside and outside this tower, which can be defended by the power of the mountain and earth veins, and can be absorbed to attack the free energy of heaven and earth. It is the most powerful Talisman Formation known to Li Ba.

Once this tower is activated, the attack power burst out instantly can't be resisted by the ninth-level evolutionary power.

As long as Li Ba does not nod, anyone who violates the Huameng will be seeking death!

"Of course, I also know that it is a bit difficult to get the foundation you have built with you, Brother, to join Longcheng!"

Yuan Danqing saw Li Ba's face change, and was not sure what he thought. His tone changed and said, "If you don't talk about surrendering, I suggest that I don't have to participate in the auction this time. Whenever there is any success, and you can use up all the energy of the ancient jade "Qi Ling" to discuss it. As long as you can afford the price, it is not difficult to obtain it!"

The idea this person gave him was to retreat to advance. I have to say that this was a good idea. But Li Ba couldn't wait, or he didn't want to cause trouble.

"Brother Yuan, Huameng has joined the command of Longcheng, and there is no room for negotiation... The key is, how to join us?" Li Ba said with a smile.
