Two hands grasped the spine of an animal in the basin at the same time. It was unknown what kind of animal's spine it was. Even a small section of it was still more than two feet long.
Now two hands grasped the spine full of animal flesh at the same time. The owners of the two hands looked at each other angrily at the same time. Then both of them were slightly stunned, and then retracted their hands with a smile.
Seeing the two people in front of him competing for food like wild beasts, Ni Tang couldn't help but frown slightly. However, although he was the leader among the three, he had the lowest status. He found that he couldn't say much, so he just
He had no choice but to lower his head as if he hadn't seen it.
Among the two people fighting for the beast's spine, one was Wang Neng, a deacon from the Shu lineage of the Lin family, whose real name was Shu Neng. The other person was of course Yin Zhong, but it was Ming Yu who occupied Yin Zhong's body.
This ghost beast.
This magician is a deacon of the Lin family, and his status is lower than that of the elders, so he is accustomed to being bossy and does not put others in his eyes.
Not to mention Mingyu, even if you wear a human skin, you still can't change the nature of the Nether Beast. For the Nether Beast, devouring is an instinct, especially when eating, it doesn't care if there are people fighting for it.
It's easy to turn against the food immediately, and sometimes it may even kill each other directly.
But just when the two were about to fall out, Mingyu suddenly woke up. He was not a beast now, but a human being. It was obviously inappropriate to fall out over food like this.
Shu Neng felt even more embarrassed. The other party was from the ancient wasteland and had such a powerful backer from the Yue Sect. That was someone that the Lin family did not dare to offend in the slightest.
After such a fuss and the fact that there was already some food in their stomachs, Shu Neng and Yin Zhong became much more behaved when they continued to eat. But at this time, a man who was slightly fat and dressed like a shopkeeper appeared
A middle-aged man walked up to the second floor carrying a large bowl of steaming broth.
He gently placed the broth on the table, nodded to the three people in front of him with a smile, then picked up the spoon from the soup bowl, helped the three people to scoop up the soup, and said respectfully.
.
"The younger one has already passed on the message as instructed. I believe it will reach Qishan Town in less than a quarter of an hour."
He said this deliberately while serving soup. The shopkeeper was also a shrewd person. Nitang seemed to be the one in charge among the three, but he knew that the one with the more honorable status in the clan was the deacon Shuneng. He gossiped about family matters.
Even if he told the matter like this, it would not be obvious that he was reporting to any one of them alone.
Shu Neng actually didn't care about this, but was more concerned about what he just said. While chewing the meat that he just put into his mouth, he said vaguely: "Who is this Shu Zai? How come I never
I’ve never heard of it. Since it’s a surname of Shu, it must be from my surname of Shu. Since I’ve never heard of it, I’m afraid it’s just an insignificant role.”
He grabbed a handkerchief from the side and wiped his hands. Ni Tang knew that the more hungry he was, the more he should control his diet. Now he only ate six to seven points full, and he was no longer ready to eat anymore.
After wiping his hands, Ni Tang gently drank a cup of tea, and then said: "I didn't notice this Juzai until I got to Kuocheng. He is not very old, but he is already close to the middle stage of receiving Qi. This talent is in
It is also considered to be the best among artists.
In addition, this person’s scheming and knowledge are far superior to those of his age. If he can be properly cultivated, he will definitely become a pillar of the family in the future.”
"Oh" Shu Neng raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise: "Why don't you promote such a talent as soon as possible, or give him a chance to practice more? If so, wouldn't he have already emerged? Why haven't even my deacons in Kuocheng heard about it?
."
Looking up at Shu Neng, Ni Tang secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. The intrigues in this family were more serious than those at the top. How could he, a high-ranking deacon, know how the warriors below were interacting with each other in order to seize resources and gain opportunities to perform meritorious deeds?
Exclusion calculation.
That Shuzai was in the same courtyard before and was always suppressed by Shusuo and Shukun. Later Shuzai was even seriously injured and disappeared. Nitang probably guessed what happened.
But he couldn't interfere. After all, Shu Suo and Shu Kun had their roots in the Shu family, but he was just a guest with a foreign surname. Naturally, he couldn't go to Shu Suo and Shu Kun for the so-called "justice".
Trouble.
Now facing Shuneng, Nitang knew the family's shortcomings, but he was also helpless. There were some things he could only think in his heart, but never say them out. Over the years, the Lin family had become difficult to recover from, and some problems could not be solved at all even if they were known.
"Back in Kuocheng, all power was in the hands of the big shopkeeper. He couldn't listen to what others said. Naturally, I had no right to speak."
After hesitating, Nitang finally chose to push the big shopkeeper out. Anyway, the other party was dead now, so it would only be better for him to try to discredit him.
"Hmph, this bastard is really not a good person. He wants to obtain the status of deacon, and he also covets the status of the elders. When I return to the family, I will definitely sue him severely in the elders. I want to see
Look at the faces of those who support him behind the scenes when he falls."
Ni Tang nodded calmly, and then said: "It's just that there was a scuffle in front of the city gate. The deacon should also understand my painstaking efforts. When the time comes..."
Before he could finish his words, Shu Neng waved his hand to stop him and said nonchalantly: "Little things, small things, you must take this kind of thing to heart. You and I may be the only ones who have escaped now. What else can't we be brothers?"
Does that matter?"
Nitang and Shuneng looked at each other and smiled, and they had reached an agreement. Mingyu, who was eating, couldn't help but look up and thought to himself.
'It is said that we Nether Beasts are ruthless, but I think humans are the most evil-minded. These two guys cheated their companions and even poured excrement and water on the dead people. They are really shameless to the extreme.'
On the surface, he smiled and nodded, pretending to be filled with admiration.
The two of them didn't shy away from it. The boss in front of them was so different in status that even Nitang didn't take each other seriously.
It's just that when the shopkeeper heard the content of the conversation between the two, he still felt a little guilty. After all, sometimes knowing too much can only cause trouble for himself.
So after he finished serving the soup, he sat down and said cautiously: "We are only arranging some family members in Qishan Town, and there are not too many manpower. If something happens there, I'm afraid...
…I’m afraid it will be difficult to defeat the enemy.”
After the deacon Shuneng finished listening, he looked at Ni Tang with some worry, but he saw that Ni Tang looked well taken care of. He picked up the tea at hand, drank it, rinsed his mouth gently, and then spoke slowly.
"When I asked you to send the message, I deliberately told you to pass through the nearby city of Li. You should have followed my instructions."
Hearing the other party's question, the shopkeeper nodded quickly and said solemnly: "How dare you disobey the instructions of the deacon and guest minister? I have specifically told you when I sent the message, the news must be sent from Licheng
Go to Qishan Town and make it clear that this is an order from the two adults."
Nodding, Nitang also knew that the other party did not dare to disobey his arrangement. Now he smiled faintly after hearing this, and then turned to Shuneng and said: "Master Deacon, you can rest assured that the person in charge of Licheng is one of my junior brothers.
I specifically told him that the message would be sent by me so that he could guess my intentions and this matter could be left to him to handle."
Unexpectedly, Nitang and his junior brother could already reach a tacit understanding without having to explain it. Shu Neng couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Seeing the other party's expression, Ni Tang was also moved in his heart, and immediately explained: "I have already made it clear that the other party will take action in Qishan Town and reveal to him some situations that happened in Kuocheng. Since we are communicating in a secret way of the family,
, my junior brother will definitely know that the other party will appear in Qishan Town in a short time.
In this case, the best way is to take advantage of his tactics and use his manpower to deal with Zuo Feng and his gang, so that we can take this opportunity to recover the losses we suffered in Kuocheng."
"Can he have that ability?" Shu Neng still had some doubts.
Nitang said confidently: "When we left Kuocheng, we had already seen a large number of strong men in the cultivation stage coming. Although it is unbelievable, it is obvious that the idiot Minghai and his men should have been dealt with.
In other words, I must spread the attack. On the one hand, I will send people to Guanmen City to deal with the few remaining Nether Beasts there. On the other hand, I will send a group of people to attack the nearby Dunmu Village. This way, they will have the remaining manpower.
Never too much.”
When he heard the three words "Dunmu Village", Shuneng was suddenly startled. He stood up suddenly and said: "You already know that there will be trouble in Dunmu Village, why..."
Shu Neng was still angry, but he saw Ni Tang with a faint smile on his face, looking at him without hesitation. At this moment, he understood the other person's intention. Although the surnames Mu and Shu were from the same Lin family, they were not afraid of each other.
There had been suspicion for a long time, and Nitang's move was obviously to kill someone with a knife.
After thinking about it for a moment, Shu Neng shook his head and slowly sat back in the chair. Ni Tang's approach still made him a little uncomfortable, but thinking about how the Mu family has always wanted to stand out over the years, in the end he had no choice but to
He nodded helplessly.
When he looked up again, Shu Neng had brought up the old matter again and said: "Even if Zuofeng can mobilize limited manpower, I still don't think Licheng has the ability to deal with them."
With a slight smile, Ni Tang came close to Shu Neng's ear and said with a faint smile. Speaking in this way, even Yin Zhong sitting opposite could not hear anything.
A hint of joy gradually appeared on Shu Neng's originally gloomy face, and finally he couldn't help but ask: "Can your junior brother really arrange this?"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Deacon, he will definitely arrange it in this way." Nitang said confidently.
The gloom on Shu Neng's face gradually dissipated, and he finally laughed and said: "That's very good, that's very good, so that we can regain a little bit of the face we lost in Kuocheng."
