Huang An ordered the guard captain to take Zhang Sui'an and the others to the main hall that had been arranged.
"Yes, sir!"
This guard is just an ordinary soldier, acting as a temporary gate guard.
He showed an upright attitude, and after agreeing, he asked Huang An if he wanted to let in the servants and handymen who were carrying the boxes.
He told Huang An that Zhang Sui'an and the others came with people and wooden boxes that seemed to contain heavy objects.
wooden box?
Dozens?
Huang An's eyes flashed, and he already had a guess in his mind.
If his prediction was correct, these wooden boxes should contain the benefits these three families used to "buy" themselves and to silence themselves.
"Let them come in. Don't worry about those wooden boxes. Let the three of them make the decision!"
Huang An narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and ordered the guard captain guarding the door.
After hearing the order, the man left directly.
Huang An focused his attention on Chen Yu, glanced at Luo Feiyao, and chuckled:
"Let's go and have a look!"
Stop talking and turn around and leave.
It's just that he walks very slowly.
Moreover, the direction is not wrong. He is taking a detour, as if he is deliberately trying to irritate these people.
Luo Feiyao and Chen Yu discovered this, and they seemed not surprised.
Chen Yu followed him without saying a word, while Luo Feiyao spat at Huang An's background. It was just the curiosity in her heart that drove her to follow him.
"I want to see what this mysterious guy Huang An is planning?"
In the main hall.
Zhang Sui'an, Zhao Ji and Qian Zhong were arranged to sit at a large square table in the middle.
This used to be the place where Huang An and the master's sister had dinner in the evening, and the master usually received guests here.
Huang An specially remodeled the main hall to welcome uninvited "distinguished guests" like Zhang Sui'an.
Zhang Sui'an and the other three were very happy that they could enter the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall as soon as possible.
Because this means that their guess is correct, Huang An just wants to collect money and get benefits.
Although being ripped off is not a very honorable thing, for the three families who are neither above nor below, it is already a very happy thing to be able to spend money to solve the disaster.
After all, sometimes in situations like theirs, even spending money can't eliminate the disaster.
However, when they sat down at the large square table in the main hall and looked at what could be called meals and food on the table, they couldn't be happy at all.
The three clan leaders suddenly discovered that their previous guesses might be somewhat off.
What they saw on the table in front of them completely stunned them.
It's so thin that you can't insert chopsticks into it, and it's polenta mixed with small stones.
The cabbage was boiled in water without a trace of oil. The vegetable soup was very turbid, and there seemed to be two or three completely dry leaves the size of fingernails floating on it.
The three of them were all warriors, and their eyes were very sharp. They could even see the looming half-rotten caterpillar suspended in the vegetable soup.
Zhang Sui'an and the others continued to look away, the disgust and disgust in their eyes almost spilling onto their faces.
Boiled tofu, green potato chunks with black spots...
The three of them looked at each other, a little uneasy.
The "gifts" they brought were placed on the walls on both sides of the entrance to the main hall.
As for the servants they brought with them, the three of them had already driven them back.
They used this to show their attitude that no matter whether they can reach an agreement today or not, these gifts will not be taken back.
But now, these three people feel a little regretful, and even have the illusion that they will never come back.
Because apart from the extremely bad "food" that could even be said to pollute the eyes, in the main hall of Nuo University, except for the three of them, there was not even a single servant waiting on the side.
The atmosphere was very strange, Huang An didn't come, and no one came in who could ask questions.
The three of them, who usually talked about everything, didn't even dare to talk in a low voice at this time, and could only communicate with their eyes.
Unable to wait for Huang An to come, Zhang Sui'an even felt a hint of regret in his heart at this moment.
He regretted a little. Instead of listening to his friends Lao Zhao and Lao Qian, he should have listened to Mr. Li Jie of the Li family.
They should come together. Tomorrow at noon, they will unite and come to the Zhao Family Martial Arts School.
The atmosphere in the main hall and the food on the table gave him an unknown premonition.
This is what Lao Qian said, "As long as we take the money to see Mr. Huang today, Mr. Huang will definitely welcome us with a sumptuous dinner. After all, who doesn't welcome the person who gave the money? They will have a series of events from morning to noon.
....."
As for Lao Qian, the two reasons he gave to convince them still seem to be lingering in their ears.
The expectations and happiness I had during the initial discussion disappeared when I saw the "pig food" in several large pots on the table in front of me.
It's not that he really values these "foods", but he seems to have seen that Huang Anna's attitude hidden behind the food is not as good as they expected!
He really regretted it.
He shouldn't have listened to Lao Qian. This embarrassing situation made him feel more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it.
If we really unite with the bigger forces like the Li family, the Yang family and the Yunshan Chamber of Commerce tomorrow, the pressure we face today will suddenly drop by more than 50%.
After all, if they want to capture Feng'an City, which is an iron bucket, the difficulty is not something that Huang An and Zhao Yan can ignore.
What's more, the pressure we are facing now will be shouldered by tall people, not smaller families like them.
Zhang Sui'an felt uneasy, and his friends Zhao Ji and Qian Zhong were not much better.
Ever since they heard last night that the new city lord, Zhao Yan, had led an army into the city and refused their request to meet and plead for mercy, these families had been collecting money everywhere.
Before going out in the morning, I also asked the tribesmen to prepare some house deeds, land deeds and the like in case of emergencies.
Starting early this morning, he sent people to keep an eye on the Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall and the City Lord's Mansion. He and the principals of other wealthy families went to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and once again made a request to see City Lord Zhao.
However, City Lord Zhao did not let them in, and soon opened the yamen and asked people to complain with reward money.
Not to mention Huang An, his actions were cunning, and with just three moves, he forced the members of the family into chaos.
Especially at noon, Huang An swaggered through the city with seventy or eighty people, and among them, there were at least five Bronze-skin realm martial arts masters accompanying him.
When they first heard the news, they were frightened.
He was afraid that a young boy like Huang An would kill them directly without following the rules.
After hurriedly discussing with their two friends, the three of them immediately put aside the words, or rather the orders, that Li Jie had conveyed to them at noon.
They unanimously agreed to bring money, land deeds and some precious treasures to visit Huang An.
After all, from the series of actions of Huang An and Zhao Yan, they could clearly feel what Huang An and Zhao Yan wanted.
It's silver!
As well as their submissiveness, they are the only ones who obey.
However, all these originally sworn speculations began to falter when they sat down at this large square table with weird food.
Huang An's attitude is the attitude of City Lord Zhao. What are the two of them going to do?
