Liu Ximing made it clear that he was interested in the treasures on Du Qingchen and wanted to get more benefits from the latter.
But now Lu Zhengyang couldn't refuse.
The Lord of the City has intervened. This is no joke. The Lu family is bound to win over Du Qingchen.
"Forget it, Brother Liu, I agree to your request. I can guarantee that as long as we take down Du Qingchen, I will never treat you badly."
Lu Zhengyang said helplessly.
But Liu Ximing was still uneasy and said with a smile: "Really?"
"I guarantee it with my character."
Lu Zhengyang said seriously.
His attitude is very serious and serious.
However, Liu Ximing still didn't believe it.
How much is character worth these days?
Also, does Lu Zhengyang have any character to speak of?
Anyway, in his eyes, there is absolutely no such thing.
In this world, how many people care about their character? In the face of interests and benefits, it is easy for them to reveal their true colors, and the ugly side of human nature will be displayed vividly.
"Okay, I still believe Brother Lu."
After laughing, Liu Ximing added: "However, our Liu family wants to do some business in the west of the city. Brother Lu will support me when the time comes, right?"
Lu Zhengyang's expression changed slightly.
Liu Ximing's greed made him quite angry.
If you seize the opportunity, you'll be cheated, and you won't be polite at all.
But what can he do?
"Of course there is no problem."
"readily!"
Liu Ximing laughed loudly: "Brother Lu is so benevolent. Okay, this matter will be taken care of by me. If the city lord's government wants to intervene, our Liu family and Tian family will definitely not stand idly by. As for the Yu family, I believe you can handle it."
, then we will have a happy cooperation.”
The two shook hands.
Liu Ximing added: "By the way, there is one thing. I have to say something ugly up front. Our Liu family and Tian family can help you, but if the city lord's palace doesn't intervene, we can't. I hope you can understand. It's not a last resort.
, and we don’t want to fall out with the City Lord’s Mansion.”
"Okay, this is natural."
Lu Zhengyang said.
After sending Liu Ximing away, Lu Zhengyang was so angry that he almost smashed the hall to pieces.
He was really too angry.
Liu Ximing was like a lion talking loudly. "This is like a bad wolf, he really dares to ask for it!"
Lu Zhengyang was so angry that he yelled: "Shameless, adding insult to injury, it is extremely shameless!"
Below, several masters of the Lu family gathered together. Lu Xun frowned and said: "Master, do we have to cooperate with the Liu family? His appetite is too big. The Liu family is like a hungry wolf that cannot be fed enough.
He is absolutely crazy, and Du Qingchen is the one we are bound to win, so what does it mean if he is interfering now, besides, the south of the city has always been our territory, so if he comes to do business, it is obvious that he is robbing our territory."
"Yes, cooperating with the Liu family is like seeking skin from a tiger. The key is that they are not really cooperating with us. You have also heard that they just want to reap the benefits. I am even thinking that they may not be able to use any of their efforts.
They won't come out, and they will ask us for benefits when the time comes. No, they have already received the benefits, and the south of the city has always been our territory."
"We need cooperation, but we want people who sincerely cooperate with us, not people who are hypocritical."
…
Suddenly, Lu Zhengyang's face turned even more ugly.
"Shut it!"
Everyone shut up obediently.
"Do you think I'm stupid?"
No one spoke.
Lu Zhengyang took a long breath and continued: "I naturally know what Liu Ximing's plan is, but can I not agree to him? At least, he will not plot against us now. Also, if the city lord's palace intervenes
, they will definitely take action, this is for sure. Also, even if we don't cooperate, do you think they won't come after we take down Du Qingchen? Don't be too naive, they still won't give up.
They can be disunified, but I can't do that. Our four major families are all prosperous and suffer losses. At this critical time, there must be no chaos. Even if we suffer some losses, it doesn't matter."
sweat……
A group of people didn't know what to say.
There is nothing wrong with what Lu Zhengyang said.
Even if they don't cooperate with the Liu family and Tian family, won't they take action when the time comes?
Maybe the four major families themselves were in chaos first.
When the time comes, the City Lord's Mansion will be able to disintegrate the four major families without any effort.
Really irreversible.
Lu Zhengyang cannot bear such consequences.
"Okay, I'm going to meet Yu Haoran now. We also need to make some plans."
Lu Zhengyang sighed and said. Fortunately, Yu Haoran has a very good relationship with him. The Lu family and the Yu family have always been on good terms with each other.
The four major families all cooperate in pairs to check and balance the other two families. This has always been the case.
…
City Lord's Mansion.
At night, the Lord of the City was also holding a secret meeting.
Participants in the meeting were all super masters from the City Lord's Mansion, and each one of them was from the Golden Immortal Realm. There were more than ten participants this time, a total of twelve people, and these were not all the Golden Immortal masters from the City Lord's Mansion.
The Lord of the City is at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. Apart from him, among the following people, there are six in the late Golden Immortal stage, five in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal stage, and only one in the early stage of the Golden Immortal stage.
This is only half the story.
The strength of the City Lord's Mansion is definitely No. 1 in Yunzhou.
As a ruler, the City Lord's Mansion must be stronger than the four major families.
In fact, even if the four major families join forces, the overall strength cannot be compared to the City Lord's Mansion. It's just that the City Lord doesn't want to see that day. He keeps a low profile, but the four major families are prone to ambitions. He wants to nip it in the bud and nip the crisis before it happens.
In the cradle.
The Lord of the City was sitting on the throne, looking at a group of close generals below, and said: "What do you think? Should our City Lord's Mansion protect Du Qingchen?"
The people below began to express their opinions.
"Sir, the outside world now thinks that Du Qingchen is from our City Lord's Mansion. If this person is not protected, it will not be justified."
"I don't think so. This kid is extremely evil. If he is allowed to grow, he may become a major threat to our city lord's palace in the future."
"Let them fight each other to the death. As long as he can consume the strength of the Lu family, that is the outcome we most want to see."
"Just take this opportunity to see the reaction and strength of the four major families."
"Now Lu Zhengyang has gone to visit Yu Haoran, and Liu Ximing from the Liu family has also gone to see Lu Zhengyang in the afternoon. It can be seen that they have begun to unite. If we don't intervene, Du Qingchen will definitely die."
"The Qingyun Chamber of Commerce probably won't let him die. Isn't Du Qingchen staying at the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce now?"
"Don't worry, Qingyun Chamber of Commerce will not help him too much, at least on the surface. After all, he has rejected the Chamber of Commerce's solicitation. Do you think Qingyun Chamber of Commerce might take action for an outsider?"
…
Listening to the discussion below, the Lord of the City slowly made a decision.
