Sunlight shines into the guest room through the window.
Lin Ji opened his eyes.
It's not that he has slept enough. He can never sleep enough, and lying down is comfortable even if he is not sleepy.
It was the waiter's knock on the door that woke him up.
"Sir, the little Taoist priest you know is here again. He is in the lobby at this time."
Lin Ji frowned slightly, and with a flash of consciousness, he detected the damn secret in the inn hall.
He felt a little annoyed for no reason. He breathed a long sigh of relief and responded: "He comes as he comes. What do you want me to listen to?"
The waiter outside the door smiled bitterly.
"Sir, the little Taoist ordered three jars of good wine and seven or eight crabs that were just brought in early in the morning. After eating, he wiped his mouth and asked the guest to pay the bill."
The two Taoist monks just sat quietly, neither of them speaking.
In the meeting hall, Yuan Xiu was sitting in the main seat, holding a tea bowl in one hand and tapping the armrest of the chair rhythmically with the other hand.
After the words fell, Lu Guangshou cupped his hands, then walked out of the hall and caught up with Song Qing in front of him.
"Didn't you just say you knew everything?"
The original purpose of this matter was that Lu Guangshou wanted to send Lu Zhaoer out of the Lu family so as not to steal the spotlight from his appointed successor.
After smacking it twice, he rubbed his hand on his clothes and picked up the wine glass.
Another moment passed, and Lu Guangshou and Song Qing appeared side by side.
After a moment, footsteps sounded.
The maid brought tea at the right time.
Things have changed and he will be implicated.
"yes."
The corner of Lin Ji's mouth twitched, and he sighed slightly, and the anger in his heart naturally dissipated.
"There is still room for this matter. My eldest brother Guangmu is Lin Ji's elder. If I ask him to make peace later, Lin Ji is just a rising star. Even if he has some ability, my four major families share the same enemy, so there is no need to be afraid of him!"
Lin Ji heard this, thought for a moment, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.
"You two go first. I need to make some preparations. After all, I still have some injuries on my body, but I have to be more careful this time."
Lin Ji nodded slightly.
After all, the Yuan family let Yuan Xiu provoke Lin Ji in order to help the Lu family. The Lu family should bear the responsibility for this matter anyway.
"Today at noon, deep in the mist forest, the heads of the four great families went to see the Demon King." Tianji put down the wine glass in his hand and said.
Hearing this, Lu Guangshou raised his eyebrows slightly.
Asking the Yuan family for help in this matter, not only will there be no betrothal gift, but if the matter is successful, the Lu family will also send a huge dowry, not only for the sake of the family's face, but also as a reward for the Yuan family.
"Let's go!" Jin Xiaocang walked out of the hall first.
At a glance, he saw Tianji sitting in the corner. Lin Ji took two quick steps and sat down opposite him.
Lin Ji couldn't help but sigh again.
Get up and go downstairs.
Lin Ji waved to the waiter and pointed to the wine jar on the table.
This was already the most harmonious method Lu Guangshou could think of.
"Brother Yuan, is Lin Ji still in the city now?"
"Go back to your cage and get out of bed after eating, so as not to be an eyesore in front of Lin."
But it was only one night before and after this, so why did things change so much?
This time, Lin Ji understood. With that smile, everything was clear. It was exactly what he thought. The incident in Xuzhou suddenly had a great connection with him!
Thinking of this, Lin Ji didn't bother to ask anymore. He glared at Tianji fiercely, got up and walked upstairs.
"I think the beasts from the Demon Kingdom are already waiting for you outside the city. Let's go?"
The waiter immediately understood and quickly brought a new cup over.
As soon as Jin Xiaocang entered the hall, he found a seat and sat down without saying a word.
When he thought of this explanation, and looked at Tianji's hateful face that was unclear at this moment, Lin Ji understood it all at once.
After the words fell, Lin Ji's figure had disappeared around the corner on the second floor.
"Speak everything you know."
Tianji smiled softly, picked up another crab, skillfully opened the crab shell, and sucked all the crab roe into his mouth.
Yuan Xiu did not expect that Lu Guangshou would take the initiative to bring up this matter. After all, the marriage between the Yuan family and the Lu family was a drunkard's intention and not the wine.
In addition, without the junior, his distant relative eldest brother Lu Guangmu is just a loner in the Lu family, so no one in the Lu family will have second thoughts. He feels that having an elder who is in the middle stage of Taoism can help him.
Don't take him as the head of the family seriously.
Lu Guangshou shook his head.
Tianji smiled.
Five hundred thousand yuan crystal is a huge sum of money anywhere, even if the four major families want to spend such a huge sum of money, they will feel exhausted.
"Lin couldn't figure it out. Lao Niu looks honest and honest, but in fact he's a bit distracted. Maybe he's not very bright, but he can still do it while sitting on the wall."
"He's still there." Yuan Xiu sighed softly, "He was resting at the inn in the city. Last night, he asked Jin Laoer to send a message, saying that he was waiting for 500,000 yuan crystals! When Brother Lu mentioned this, he thought he was preparing for Lu
What half should the family bear?"
Seeing this, Yuan Xiu rushed to Lu Guangshou and Song Qing and cupped his hands.
Lin Ji frowned slightly and looked at Tianji, only to see Tianji holding the crab legs and eating them deliciously. As if he felt Lin Ji's gaze, he raised his head and grinned, then lowered his head again.
It was Jin Xiaocang, the head of the Jin family, who came over.
"You want me to save that old cow's life?"
"Tell me." Lin Ji got straight to the point.
"Taoist Priest should also know that even at the same level, human monks are only 10% or 20% weaker than the monsters. Those from the demon country's great clans with extraordinary talents cannot match the human monks at the same level."
Tianji saw this and quickly put down the crab legs.
The Yuan family's so-called re-employment is nothing more than the rhetoric of Yuan Xiu and Lu Guangshou.
It had been a long time since he had silently recited the meditation scriptures taught to him by Master Xingchi, but reciting them once in a long time was still so effective.
"roll!"
Yuan Mansion.
Waving his hand to reject the waiter's intention to pour wine, Lin Ji continued: "If the four family heads are defeated by the demon king, it will naturally side with the demon kingdom. If the four family heads have some backhand to gain the upper hand, then
Lao Niu must be the first to run away after hearing the news."
At noon.
"Let the trail pass, wait until noon, Senior Lin goes to the misty forest, and he will naturally have the answer."
Seeing these two people, Yuan Xiu put down his tea bowl and Jin Xiaocang snorted softly.
With a bit of surprise on his face, Lin Ji asked: "The heads of the four major aristocratic families are all in the early stage of Taoism, and they all relied on the Tao diagrams inherited by their families. What kind of trouble can the four of them make when they join forces? Where can they make it?
Do you have the confidence to meet the four demon kings outside the city?"
Therefore, when Yuan Xiu said before that he would refund half of the betrothal gift, he was referring to half of the benefits that would come after the event was completed.
When talking about this matter before, even if Tianji didn't tell everything, he was not as secretive as now. When Lin Ji asked about it, Tianji made it clear that the matter had nothing to do with him, so he could say a few more words.
"There's no money in the pocket!"
"I have a question, and I would like to ask Taoist Master Tianji to clarify it."
"As I said, Senior Lin will understand when he goes to see it. What happened this time is very interesting!"
"The four demon kings outside the city are not simple. They are at least as troublesome as the cultivation level of the human race in the middle stage of entering the Tao."
Song Qing smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Brother, please don't forget how our four great families in Weicheng have passed down their legacy to this day."
