Xiahou naturally had to handle the matters ordered by the Lord of Lihuo Palace himself immediately.
Although Xiahou was very unhappy with Di Tian's refusal and did not want to invite Di Tian again, even if he was a master of weapon refinement, it would not affect his power. If the Lord of Lihuo Palace had not spoken, he would not have spoken to Di Tian at all.
Already.
This time, Xiahou did not come in person, but ordered a deputy commander to come to the Imperial Pavilion.
When Mo Fei learned that Xiahou sent someone, he found Ditian. Ditian naturally understood what was going on and sneered in his heart. The Lord of Lihuo Palace asked Xiahou to invite him, so he sent a deputy commander to let him go to the commander's mansion?
Not long ago, he was brutally killed, and the third-level forces were classified into the first-level forces to collect tribute, and you still want him to visit him personally?
"Tell him I'm not free."
Di Tian said to Mo Fei, but Mo Fei frowned and said, "Di Tian, do you want to ease the relationship? After all, the central area of Lihuo City is Xiahou's territory."
"No need, he wants to invite me to join the Commander's Mansion. I can't agree. Since I have offended him before and will offend him again in the future, there is no need to give him face." Di Tian responded, as long as they don't do anything
If they violate the rules and don't take the initiative to provoke the commander's office, even if Xiahou is the commander, what can he do to them?
Murphy pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
As he spoke, he went to report back to the deputy commander. The deputy commander's face was very ugly when he left. This was the second time he was rejected. Last time Commander Xiahou went to Di Tian in person and was rejected. This time, he was asked to come. Even Di Tian
No one can see him. As expected, becoming a master of weapon refining is different. Once he becomes famous, he won’t even give him the respect of the commander. It’s really arrogant.
After returning to the Commander's Mansion, Xiahou learned that not only did he invite Emperor Tian to come to the Commander's Mansion, but no one had even seen him, he shattered the table next to him on the spot, stood up, and said, "I want to see how big he is.
face."
After that, Xiahou walked out of the Commander's Mansion in person and came to the Imperial Pavilion again.
The Lord of Lihuo Palace told me that he had to do it even if he didn't do it. Even if he didn't succeed in the end, at least he tried his best. Otherwise, if the Lord of Lihuo Palace knew that he didn't even take it to heart, it would not be good.
Xiahou came in person, and Di Tian didn't want to really break up with Xiahou like this, so he invited him to sit down in the mansion and said with a smile: "Commander Xiahou visits the Imperial Pavilion, and the flowers are shining brightly."
"Master Ditian is famous in Lihuo City now, but he is very busy. It is difficult to even meet you." Xia Houyi pointed out.
"It's true that I'm very busy. My place is small and I've just started. The commander thinks too highly of our Imperial Pavilion and has designated me as a first-class force. I can't do it if I don't work hard." Di Tian responded with a smile, and both of them were true to their words.
talk.
Di Tian sneered in his heart. You came to invite me with a arrogant expression. Do you really think that everyone must give you face? You just killed me not long ago, do you still want me to beg you in a low voice?
Sure enough, Di Tian's words made Xia Hou raise his eyebrows, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and he said: "Who made Master Di Tian so famous? No one knows that I am here to tell you good news."
"Oh?" Di Tian smiled and asked knowingly, "Please give me some advice, Lord Commander."
"This time when I went to Lihuo Palace to pay tribute, I recommended you to the palace master. After learning about your talents, the palace master asked you to come and be my deputy. You join my command house. From now on, I will regard you as my future
This opportunity is once in a lifetime to be trained by the commander." Xiahou looked at Di Tian and said with an expression that said, "I want to give you alms." It was as if Di Tian wanted to give him three bows and nine kowtows to thank him for his great kindness.
Di Tian was stunned and looked at Xia Hou in surprise. This proud commander could be so shameless. It was he who recommended to the palace master to be his deputy? deputy commander?
None of this is correct. The Lord of Lihuo Palace personally questioned him. Moreover, he was promised the same position as the commander. Why did he become the deputy commander again?
"What an insidious Xiahou." Di Tian thought to himself, does this count as an invitation for the Palace Master? If he doesn't agree, when Xiahou reports back to the Palace Master of Lihuo in the future, he will definitely say that he, Xiahou, personally came to visit the Prime Minister.
Invitation, but he, the emperor, did not know what was good and what was bad, so he refused the palace master's kindness.
Even Di Tian could guess this with his eyes closed, but his face remained calm and he said with a smile: "Di Tian is very grateful to the Palace Master for his kindness, and also thanks Commander Xia Hou for his recommendation, but I am really used to being free.
I just want to do something in the Imperial Pavilion, and I hope the commander-in-chief won’t be offended.”
"Everyone has his own ambitions. Naturally, I will not force you. I will report back to the Palace Master truthfully." Xiahou nodded, and then said: "In this case, I will take my leave."
"Commander Xiahou, go slowly." Di Tian didn't even bother to say any polite words and directly stood up to see off the guests.
Xia Hou smiled and walked out. After leaving the Imperial Pavilion, his face instantly turned gloomy, and there were flashes of cold light, which was very scary. Of course, he felt how much Emperor Tian didn't give him face.
Outside the Imperial Pavilion, several passers-by noticed Xiahou's expression. The Imperial Pavilion was very busy these days, with people coming and going, but no one paid attention to the passers-by, and Xiahou didn't care either.
After returning to the Commander's Mansion, Xiahou naturally ordered the deputy commander to go and report back to the palace lord. Of course, his response was modified by him. For example, he had clearly expressed the palace lord's love and attention, but Di Tian was a little disdainful.
.
…………
A few days later, several people came to the commander's mansion to pay homage to Commander Xiahou.
Because the visitor had an extraordinary identity, Commander Xiahou personally received him.
In the main hall, Commander Xiahou is high above the main seat, and below is the position of the deputy commander. As for below, there are several people, all of whom are very strong in cultivation, top Immortal Emperor figures. Obviously, the people who came here to visit today
The identity is unusual.
Yan Feng was clearly among everyone, and Yan Feng was sitting below an old man, which meant that his status in the Yan family was not as good as that old man.
It turned out that he was the head of the Yan family.
The status of the people from the other two families seems to be no worse than that of the Yan family.
They are two first-class forces from the central city of Lihuo City, leaders of two major families, and behind them, they all have the same forces, auction houses, and trading places.
Now, the Imperial Pavilion is gradually threatening their status.
The territory of the central city is fixed, and there will be almost no big changes in the number of strong people. Once the Emperor Pavilion rises and the place becomes prosperous, many people on their side will be reduced and divided by the Emperor Pavilion. In the future, everyone
The auction, all going to the Imperial Pavilion, will obviously have a great impact on them.
So, they came to the Commander's Mansion, and brought the Yan family with them. After all, everyone knew that the Yan family had a grudge against Emperor Pavilion Emperor Tian.
The two major families are the Han family and the Wei family. They are both very old families. They have developed in Lihuo City for many years. Otherwise, they would not be able to make the auction house big. They both control very huge resources.
In the ancient palace, a group of people had been chatting without getting into the main topic. It was not until the heads of the Han and Wei families glanced at the head of the Yan family that he said, "Lord Commander, what do you think of the Imperial Pavilion?"
Xia Houxiao looked at the head of the Yan family and said, "What does the head of the Yan family mean?"
"This Master Ditian is arrogant and domineering. Before he became famous, he joined my Yan family and killed two powerful men of our Yan family. He was so arrogant that he didn't even pay attention to the rules of the commander's office. Now, after becoming famous,
He is even more arrogant, and no one cares about him." The head of the Yan family said coldly, with righteous words, he just dragged the Commander's Mansion into it. Di Tian and the Yan family were fighting a fair fight, so what does it have to do with the Commander's Mansion?
However, no one will expose him. The people sitting here are all scheming.
"That's right, Lord Commander, Emperor Pavilion opened a trading pavilion in this area, and then opened an auction house. They didn't even say hello, and they didn't take us seniors seriously at all."
"Senior, haven't you seen how Di Tian insulted Master Xuanming? Now Master Xuanming has no face to show his face."
The group of people spoke one after another, all filled with indignation, and finally got to the point.
"This Emperor Tian is still very resourceful. The development of power depends on his own means. Come and have a drink." Commander Xiahou said with a smile. Several families secretly cursed the old fox, which was said without saying anything.
They found out clearly that Xiahou went to the Imperial Pavilion in person, and his face was ashen when he came out.
Now, they came to visit just to get Xiahou to make a promise. If they wanted to take action against the Imperial Pavilion, the Commander-in-Chief would just turn a blind eye. Of course, they would not say this directly, and everyone knew it.
Just a hint and everyone will understand.
However, Xiahou never mentioned it and did not express his position at all. No matter what they said, Xiahou pretended not to hear them and kept urging them to drink.
"Lord Commander, there was a small gadget in my auction house a few days ago. It has no value, but it is quite interesting. Please accept it." The head of the Han family handed over a storage ring, and Xiahou took it.
After entering the storage ring and scanning it, he immediately understood it and said with a smile: "It is indeed a very interesting gadget."
The deputy commander next to him cursed secretly in his heart and continued to act... But of course they would not talk too much. This kind of thing was very common. The palace owner would not say anything even if he knew it. The other two families also presented gifts, and Commander Xiahou accepted them with a smile.
The banquet was very pleasant, and when it finally broke up, Xiahou ordered the deputy commander to personally escort several important families out of the house. Before leaving, the deputy commander smiled and said: "Family heads, please go slowly."
The heads of the several families nodded, but felt a little unhappy. People also visited and gifts were given, but no response was received.
"The heads of the families are a little unhappy. You don't know that Master Ditian is very good. Last time he led the master to Lihuo Palace to pay tribute. The palace owner personally explained that he wanted to win over Master Ditian, but Master Ditian didn't care at all.
No, it is said that the Palace Master is very unhappy. How can Master Ditian, such an outstanding figure, give face to all the family heads?" The deputy commander showed a profound smile.
A flash of sharpness flashed in the eyes of several family heads. They rejected the palace master? The palace master was very unhappy?
"I see, Master Ditian is indeed amazing." The head of the Han family smiled broadly.
"Excellent, no wonder." The head of the Wei family also smiled, and several people looked at each other and left with satisfaction, having gotten the answers they wanted.
