Wangyou Ghost Market, the Nineteenth Floor of the Underworld Tower.
After seeing Yue Piao Ling, Qin Fan has been dealing with some trivial matters within the ghost market, such as a large stall in the Southwest Prefecture. Yuan Suiyun cannot be expected to solve the matter in an orderly manner by himself.
Simply speaking, the economic recovery after the war is in urgent need of assistance from the ghost market.
Some resource allocations, including personnel appointments, also need to be screened by the four housekeepers and then approved by Qin Fan before they can be implemented.
So Qin Fan is really busy.
However, after he noticed that the next guest was already waiting outside the door, he put these official matters aside for the time being, took out the tea set and said:
"come in."
Immediately, the door opened and Hua Manlou walked in. She consciously took the tea set and started brewing it on her own.
He met Qin Fan three times in private. The first time was eleven years ago. At that time, Qin Fan was unknown and in the eyes of Hua Manlou, he was a big liar who kidnapped his sister, but he still did it for her.
Brewed the first pot of tea.
The second meeting was a few months ago, before the battle at the top of the Sword Mountain broke out. As a leader of the younger generation of the eight great families, he went to meet Qin Fan, who was just beginning to show his prowess at that time.
That day, they talked a lot, about the ghost market, the Yuelinghua clan, and Hua Lianxing.
At the same time, he also made a second pot of tea for him. Even though there were some verbal conflicts between the two parties during that conversation, it did not affect the sweetness of the tea.
This time is the third time.
The identities of both parties changed again.
Huamanlou seems to be standing still during this period. No matter whether it is his strength or the power he controls, although there has been some progress, it is far inferior to the ghost king in front of him who can shake the entire Kyushu with just one kick.
However, this was also the third meeting, and Hua Manlou's mentality became much calmer.
When he interacts with people, he never cares about the identity of the other person. If there is no incident between Hua Lianxing and Hua Yaoyue, he even thinks that the two people have many similarities in their private interests and hobbies, and they will become good friends.
.
For example, they are both proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they also like to drink tea. Another example is the similar white robes they wear, and the warm smile that often hangs on their faces.
Even if one person likes to smile out of love for life, and the other person seems to be accustomed to this disguise due to the acquired environment, Huamanlou stubbornly believes that when the other person faces her, the smile contains at least some sincerity.
.
At that moment, although the two of them were standing in different shadows, they were both facing the light.
"...Perhaps I'm a little naive." Putting down the teapot, Hua Manlou said unconsciously.
"Oh?" Qin Fan picked up the tea cup and slowly drank the tea. The moment he felt the fragrance of tea blooming on his tongue, his eyes subconsciously narrowed, "What you have done recently is not innocent."
"Have you been observing me?" Hua Manlou wondered.
"They are staring at the Yuelinghua clan." Qin Fan said solemnly, "As the second person to raise the banner of rebellion, Hua Yaoyue's various arrangements in advance will always arouse the curiosity of many people.
And the facts also prove that she did not announce a complete split from the Daxuan Dynasty out of sheer enthusiasm."
The flower-filled building was silent.
He admitted that what Qin Fan said was correct.
Internally, Hua Yaoyue has complete control over the Yuelinghua clan. Externally, nearly 60% of the troops stationed in various towns have been secretly collected by Hua Yaoyue, and the Yihua Palace has captured nearly half of the Jianghu forces in the Southeast Prefecture.
Take him under his wing.
She had indeed planned it in advance.
Hua Manlou, who originally wanted to make a different sound, was immediately stunned. In the end, in order to prevent the Yuelinghua clan from rushing to death under Hua Yaoyue's ambition, he had to assist the other party to deal with some internal affairs.
related matters.
Therefore, Huamanlou now occupies a very delicate position in the Yuelinghua clan, or the power controlled by Hua Yaoyue, similar to the existence of a great housekeeper.
"Actually, you shouldn't be involved in so many chores. The Huamanlou I know should find a place with beautiful scenery to live a quiet life. In his spare time, he can cultivate flowers, play the piano, or find a
As a friend who likes to meddle in other people’s business, I occasionally follow him out to make my presence felt.”
"A nosy friend?" Hua Manlou chuckled and shook his head, "I did meet that friend a few days ago, but he was also in a whirlpool that he couldn't help himself. Besides, under the overthrow of the nest, An You
Complete egg.
It’s true that I am Huamanlou, but I am also a member of the Yuelinghua clan.”
"That's it." Qin Fan held up the tea cup and gently rubbed the smooth wall of the cup with his right index finger.
He knew that the other party's friend was Lu Xiaofeng, who had been promoted to the Lingxi Divine Catcher, Lu Xiaofeng, one of the four great predators of the Six Sects.
With his outstanding investigative skills and his already outstanding strength, after inheriting everything from his destiny, he was directly forcibly rehabilitated by the Daxuan Dynasty and parachuted into the position of divine arrester.
And when he took office, he perfectly solved the first demon cat case, which established his reputation for four eyebrows in one fell swoop.
The whole matter had been reported in time by Nie Yunhua, the blood-robed god who had taken refuge with Qin Fan. At that time, it was at the critical stage of conquering the southwest prefecture, so Qin Fan took a second look and put this information aside.
After all, the difference in status between the two of them was too great. This kind of thing would be over just for fun. Although Lu Xiaofeng was one of the four great arresters, his foundation was too shallow and he was just a tool for investigating cases.
Not to mention challenging Nie Yunhua, the power he holds in the Six Gates is not even comparable to that of Gongsun Mei, one of the candidates for the Four Great Gods.
"After three cups of tea, it's time to get down to business. You didn't ask me here just to drink tea." Hua Manlou put down the tea cup and said calmly.
Qin Fan was silent for a while and sighed softly.
"I hope you can use your current influence to make the entire Yuelinghua clan voluntarily withdraw from the southeastern capital."
"impossible!"
Hua Manlou, whose tone was originally calm, suddenly became much more irritable.
"Let's not talk about the limitations of the chain of merit. Let's just say that my Hua family has been operating in the southeastern capital for so many years. Once it evacuates, it is difficult to measure the lost benefits with a specific number, let alone the difficulty of leaving the homeland.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Unless I am crazy, I will never agree to your request."
Qin Fan had already predicted Hua Manlou's reaction, and handed the prepared information to him.
After Huamanlou took it, he began to use his mental power to examine it.
"Hen of the Sky...Outside the Sky...Explorers...Xixuan Heavenly Court and Donghuang Heavenly Court..."
At this moment, Hua Manlou felt her head was buzzing.
And in his ears, he could still hear Qin Fan's words that seemed like casual conversation, but actually contained murderous intent.
"I don't have much time left in the ghost market. If I use the method of occupying the southwest capital to capture the southeastern capital, it may take twice as long. And because the situation in the mountain and sea world is getting more and more dangerous, I also
It is no longer possible to conquer the battlefield through large-scale military training.
This also means that I will implement a bloody rule similar to that of the Northern Barbarians."
"You won't!" Hua Manlou said firmly, but his expression was very struggling.
Qin Fan shook his head slightly and said:
"Do you know how I took over Nanxuan Prefecture? I caused internal chaos, started a struggle among all parties, and pushed the self-righteous Sima Kongming, which caused tens of thousands of people.
Innocent people were killed and injured as a result.
I call this strategy the Dark Art of War, which is to use inhumane means to achieve the ultimate goal. To put it more simply, I will quickly put down the chaos in the world regardless of the means, and then implement the benevolent way of governing the world.
And as you saw on the way here, today's Nanxuan Prefecture can be called the ideal hometown of Kyushu, and because of the brutal experiences in the past, the local people will be more loyal to me, the ruler who brings peace.
So I will use a similar method when dealing with the southeastern capital next time.
After all, compared to my start in Nanxuan Prefecture, today's ghost market not only has the reputation of great justice, but my reputation also plays an excellent supporting role, and you, the Yuelinghua clan, are just a betrayer, betraying Daxuan
The dynasty also betrayed this land.
With a little guidance of public opinion, the people will blame you for all the factors that caused the outbreak of war, but I am the one who really brings peace and hope."
"You..." Hua Manlou was furious. He rarely showed this expression, which made Qin Fan look at him with interest.
Then he let out a long sigh and said.
"I should say you are shameless, but the Huamanlou now is not the Huamanlou it used to be, and besides, this world..."
"As you can see, time is not on our side, and my title of King of Zhennan, which represents great righteousness, may not last long. Therefore, when I am still King of Zhennan, I will give that Xuan
The emperor promised to capture the three southern states as soon as possible.
Moreover, it is difficult for your Yuelinghua clan to develop any further now. Sandwiched between our Red Robe Army and the Dao Domain Army, the second-rate Zhou Mu Army alone cannot make a breakthrough.
As for Hua Yaoyue... Whether it is my ghost market or the Dao realm, it is not that there is no Dharma realm.
It is difficult for her to turn the tide on her own."
Hua Manlou was silent and then shook his head.
"It's not enough, it's not good either."
"First, this is an invitation. In seven days, the Yuan clan of Quxi will cut off the chain of merit and virtue. You and the Lord of the Inviting Moon Palace are welcome to come and watch the ceremony."
"Do you have a solution to this trouble?" Hua Manlou asked in surprise.
Qin Fan did not answer directly, but said.
"Second, I will persuade the Huanjia Fang family to move to the south, so that the properties between your two great families can be exchanged. This will ensure that your property and interests will not suffer too much loss as much as possible."
Hua Manlou frowned.
"Third, Hua Lian Xing is in the north."
Huamanlou subconsciously clenched her fists.
He was stunned by Qin Fan's combination of punches.
Especially the third one, this is not only a reason for killing myself, but also an advantage to persuade Hua Yaoyue.
Moreover, if we do not consider the factor of being unable to leave our homeland, today’s Southeast Prefecture has indeed restricted the next development of the Hua family. It can even be said that under the attack of the mad dog-like red robe army and the Taoist army, every day and every hour
They are all in a state of being constantly weakened.
And Hua Manlou doesn’t want to see this kind of unnecessary death anymore.
He could understand that the clansmen fought for Hua Yaoyue's ambition, but he could not agree that these clansmen sacrificed themselves for some useless achievements. What he could do was to stabilize his basic base and not let the forces that were now united around Hua Yaoyue,
It collapsed due to internal conflicts.
Hua Yaoyue is not a qualified manager. In other words, it is difficult for people like her to let go of their stature. They must establish an invincible image and then recruit talents through a strong mentality. Subsequent management also requires a truly knowledgeable person.
Help them grasp the direction.
In "Peerless Two Prides", the existence of Yihua Palace is special. Those disciples can be said to be slaves of the two sisters Yaoyue Lianxing. In addition, most of them are orphans or abandoned women who want to control them.
It is naturally easier for them.
Besides, Lianxing is usually responsible for this, while Yaoyue only needs invincibility and beauty.
The current situation is even more complicated. Some of the forces who joined Hua Yaoyue's command were for fame, some were for profit, some were for human rights, and some were forcibly tied to this big ship. If Hua Manlou hadn't been repairing it all the time,
Repair it, this ship may have sunk long ago.
Therefore, Hua Manlou's right to speak is much more important than he thinks.
"She is very stubborn." When she said this, it proved that Hua Manlou was already tempted, or that she was completely cornered by Qin Fan's bluffing and deception.
Qin Fan picked up the invitation and said.
"This is an opportunity for her to recognize the reality, and at the right opportunity, you can reveal the whereabouts of Hua Lianxing, which will have a killing effect."
Hua Manlou picked up the invitation, put away the information about Tianwai that Qin Fan had given him before, stood up without saying a word, and walked out the door.
When he was about to push the door open, he suddenly stopped and said:
"I hope that next time we meet, I will be just Huamanlou, and you will be just Qin Fan."
Qin Fan sighed lightly and looked at the other party's back with helpless eyes.
"I have said that you are not suitable for this kind of complicated power struggle. After the battle on the top of the Sword Mountain, you can actually take the opportunity to retreat. Hua Yaoyue will definitely agree to it at that time."
"The flowers that fill the building are also the flowers of the Yuelinghua clan."
After leaving these words, Huamanlou walked out of the room, left the Ming Tower and walked out of the ghost market without any pause.
Seeing this, Qin Fan also let go of some of the emotions in his heart.
With the opening of the Sky Trace, time on his side has become more pressing, and now there are three fronts moving forward simultaneously.
Yun Hongce's line is related to uniting the Demonic Kingdom to fight against the Buddhist Land, which is also the biggest enemy that the Ghost City currently faces.
Qi Sheng's line involves Tianwai, and is even related to Lao Six, whom he has never met. When Lao Four and Lao Seven arrive tomorrow, this line can be temporarily ended.
The most important thing is the family line that Qin Fan is currently preparing.
Obtain the origin point by cutting off the chain, and solve the last hidden danger within the Quxi Yuan clan. First, it is used as a warning to persuade the Fang family to move and truly integrate, and then it is used as a threat to force the Hua family to withdraw from the southeastern capital and bring the entire
Three southern states were included.
Perhaps from Hua Manlou's point of view, all Qin Fan did was to take advantage of this rare time difference to expand his territory as much as possible.
This idea is not wrong, but the ultimate goal of expanding the territory is for Qin Fan to enhance his own authority.
As mentioned earlier, the Heavenly Contract required before signing the Hidden Dragon List indicates that the fifth-level authority can eliminate the marks on the list, and when the universe-level event Mountain and Sea Realm is triggered, it also shows that Qin Fan at the fifth level will truly possess some of the abilities.
The power of heaven. (See Chapters 298 and 582 for some details)
Therefore, Qin Fan must take over the southeastern capital as soon as possible. In addition to driving away the Yuelinghua clan, there is also the Qinglong Pavilion that has been secretly accumulating power for many years.
In this regard, Qin Fan has sent the most suitable candidate to handle the matter.
