Beautiful visions are usually accompanied by cruel reality. While feeling relieved, Shen Qing couldn't help but think of the poor family.
Do we really have to follow Old Man Tianhan’s request?
If we don't do it that way, how will the family face the anger of such king-level figures in four years?
But if I follow his words, can I feel relieved? You must know that this involves not only one life, but also a huge family that is ten times and a hundred times larger than my own, and even Wanrenshan's family. The whole country!
"Liu Changfeng..."
In silence, Shen Qing read the name in his heart.
That's right, the head of the Wanren Liu Family and the number one in the United Alliance, Liu Changfeng!
Beside him, his father didn't seem to notice his sudden absence, and was still talking about something.
Shen Qing also quickly calmed down, but was shocked when he heard his father's words, because his father just said: So my father thinks that after the war, it will be handled properly, so I will retreat behind the scenes. We, the head of the Shen family, Come and sit!
Are you kidding?!
With his eyes widened, Shen Qing was about to refute, but Tang Zhong, who had just recovered to the point where he could barely speak, answered again.
"Ahem, Mr. Shen... Tang thinks that your father's words make sense, and his decision... ahem, is also wise."
"Leader Tang, don't say random compliments. If my father is determined to pass the throne to me, you will have to bear the main responsibility!"
Shen Qing hurriedly gave Tang Zhong, who was exhausted and still thinking about "suppressing the fire".
However, Tang Zhong smiled with a pale face, "Young Master Shen, ahem, Tang is not just a random compliment, it comes from... ahem, from the heart!"
"It's time to get over it. It's hard to say anything, so why don't you rest now?"
Shen Qing was a little angry. He understood Tang Zhong's gratitude for his life-saving grace, but he was also really annoyed by this type of flattery regardless of the situation.
Who is Tang Zhong?
No matter how bad things are, he is still the leader of the Xici Alliance. How can he still not see the lust in Shen Qing's heart?
But he showed how much he was wronged, and quickly explained out of breath: "Young Master Shen, you have misunderstood Tang. I didn't say this as a compliment, but from my heart." heart!"
"You don't even have to cough?" Shen Qing was still secretly scornful in his heart, and he was equally merciless, "I'm so outstanding, why don't you just give me the position of leader of the alliance?"
It was a joke, but Tang Zhong’s answer was——
"That's exactly what I meant!"
"It's embarrassing, it's hard to let go, I know...wait a minute, what did you just say?"
Shen Qing looked stunned, and Shen Yuan next to him was quite shocked.
"Tang said...ahem, he said that I intend to lead the Xici family to merge into your Shen family!"
"Brother Tang, this matter is nothing to play with. If you are grateful to my son, if my Shen family has any requests afterwards, you can do your best to help." Shen Yuan said quickly.
Shen Qing also replied: "Yeah, besides, I didn't save you just to save you, but because something happened to you in my Shen family. To be honest, if this thing happened in Xici City, I might not be able to save you." I really can't bear to have God's power save you twice."
This is the truth. Shen Qing is not a universal Bodhisattva, nor can he even be considered a good man or woman. All of his responsibilities, courage, and courage are based on absolute concern.
For example, the family, such as Yu Yao, as for Tang Zhong, to put it bluntly, they just know each other...
But Tang Zhong didn’t think so!
After this incident, his mentality has changed. He was originally unwilling to give up the alliance leader because of his own desire for power, and secondly because he felt in his heart that the alliance leader cannot be left aside. Even if it is not him, he must be a member of their Western Temple.
But now he has figured it out and feels ashamed.
During this disaster, everything Shen Qing did was something he couldn't do after he asked himself. It was not about strength, but about a person's attitude towards the responsibility he should shoulder.
Although he is not the kind of person who wants to abandon his son and run away when something happens, he thought about it with a calm and rational attitude during the period of recuperation. In this regard, he and Shen Qing are really far apart!
So he suddenly figured out that even if he could persuade Shen Qing to let the Shen family merge into the Xici City Alliance, as time goes by, he would gradually be overshadowed by Shen Qing. What's the point of sitting in the so-called alliance leader position?
?
But what if he willingly handed over the Xici League to Shen Qing?
Based on Shen Qing's attitude towards the word "responsibility", Tang Zhong has reason to believe that if Shen Qing doesn't accept it, then once he accepts it, he will treat everyone equally and treat Xici as their own home!
In that case, when this alliance composed of Qinglu and Xici rises, how great will his reputation be as the person who took the initiative to give up talents and single-handedly promoted this matter?
Obviously, it will definitely attract more respect than relying on the alliance leader.
Of course, he made this decision not entirely out of selfishness, but because he was truly moved by Shen Qing and wanted to strengthen Xici.
In addition, he also thought about it, what if he really misjudged Shen Qing?
The answer is simple. No matter how misunderstood, Shen Qing's character is there. At least he will not bully and persecute people in Xici after taking power. So at most, it is just a sluggish development.
But can it still be worse than the current situation even if the recession is bad?
With his current injury, he might not be able to deal with the Wu family when he returns to Xici City. Hu Changxin also made it clear that he wants to use Xici City as a springboard to expand his power!
Now that the Shen family is cold, Duan Tianwei and other big figures have arrived one after another, so Hu Changxin no longer dares to covet them casually, but they in Xici City do not have so many backers and connections. Can Hu Changxin let them go?
Obviously, absolutely not.
Therefore, it is even more necessary to form an alliance with the Shen family. Giving up the leader of the alliance to Shen Qing is harmless and as it should be!
The above are all Tang Zhong's thoughts. What is surprising is that he did not hide anything, and even told the Shen family directly about his selfish thoughts!
After Shen Yuan listened, he was silent for a long time. After Shen Qing listened, he couldn't find any rebuttal.
"Leader Tang..."
"Let's call him Uncle Tang." Tang Zhong interrupted Shen Qing with a smile.
"Then Uncle Tang." Shen Qing said solemnly, "Listen to me, I will never take the position of alliance leader. First, in terms of responsibilities, I am too young, and there are many places where I am really inferior.
Elders like you and my father tend to be impulsive when dealing with problems. Secondly
, I won’t mention the Tianlang Gang, but even if Old Man Tianhan lets me go now, he will still come to my door four years later. Think about it, it’s been four years. After giving me such a long time to think about it, if
If I don't... follow his wishes, how terrifying will his anger be?"
When it came to following his wishes, Shen Qing hesitated for a moment.
Logically speaking, Tang Zhong was sincere and didn't even hide his own selfish intentions. He should have said what he wanted.
But then I thought about it, that was Liu Changfeng. If we compare the examples, Old Man Tianhan is the Lord of the Dark Side of Wanren Mountain, and Liu Changfeng is the King of the Bright Side! So before I decide whether I should respond to Tianhan’s request
, Shen Qing didn’t want anyone else, including his father, to know about this matter so as not to be involved.
Of course, even if he didn't say anything, his meaning was clearly expressed.
But Tang Zhong didn't even care. He just smiled and said, "Do you think Tang has not thought this matter through? Since we have decided to let you lead us, we are naturally ready to face the cold weather together. And just as
As you said, four years is enough. With your terrifying connections, Tsk Tsk, Tianhan still may not dare to touch you by then."
Speaking of this, Tang Zhong suddenly felt a little ashamed.
When he was talking about entering Wanren Mountain before, he had used his personal connections to increase his leverage, but after watching this scene, his jaw almost dropped!
They say birds of a feather flock together, look at who is related to Shen Qing?
Needless to mention the bandit king Hu Changxin, look at those - Qi Shuang, the eldest lady of Tiandao Chamber of Commerce who is second only to the president, Master Duan who has been retired for decades but can come back to the world for him, and the feared Wan Ren
The King of the Dark Side, Old Man Tianhan...
It is true that these people have enemies and friends with Shen Qing, but even if Tang Zhong wants to make enemies, can he make such people?
They still have that circle, or at least they have the potential capital to step into that circle!
Regarding this point, Tang Zhong was really obedient.
But Shen Qing had a severe headache.
If you're right, he just said the words "You may not dare if the weather is cold." How did you say this?
Could it be that in his opinion, Tianhan retreated because he was afraid of Duan Tianwei and the Tiandao Chamber of Commerce? Then he was too naive!
It is said that the authorities are confused, but Shen Qing is definitely clear about the authorities this time. He knows very clearly that Tianhan's retreat is not because he is afraid of anyone, but because he wants to use his hands to accomplish a goal that is not easy for even a humble family to accomplish.
As for selling off Duan Tianwei and Tiandao Chamber of Commerce, it’s just a matter of convenience!
Looking at Tang Zhong helplessly, Shen Qing knew that this matter was unclear and impossible to explain, but the alliance leader would not take anything he said, even if he knelt down to beg, there was no such possibility.
Shen Qing refused to accept it, and Tang Zhong refused to give up. An exhausted man and a weak man just "negotiated" back and forth for a long time. In the end, Duan Tianwei, who had been silent, couldn't stand it, so he gave the final word himself.
"I have been listening for a long time. You want this kid to be the leader of the alliance. You are really fanciful. How old is he? How much has he already shouldered? You want to put a hundred alliances on his shoulders. Do you want to exhaust him to death?!"
Duan Tianwei blew his beard and stared, Tang Zhong said yes in fright, but felt aggrieved in his heart.
However, Duan Tianwei did not reject his idea directly. Instead, he moderated it and suggested that Shen Yuan and Tang Zhong should simply serve as leaders of the alliance without a chief or deputy, and then set up an elders' council, and everything could be solved.
Although it is not satisfactory, Tang Zhong thought about it and decided that this is the best thing. Anyway, Shen Qing and Shen Yuan are father and son. His father is in a big position. Shen Qing should worry about it and lead the development of Xici City.
There is absolutely no escaping this matter of growth!
The discussion was settled and everyone was happy. The mess was almost settled. Because of Duan Tianwei's existence, both Shen Yuan and Tang Zhong agreed that they needed to clean up their old man's legacy, even if they had just experienced a war.
This is a necessary etiquette. Not to mention their seniority, if they had not arrived on the scene in time, they would not have been able to survive the subsequent turnaround.
But Duan Tianwei didn't appreciate it at all and took Shen Qing to the backyard to play chess.
Of course, they say they are playing chess, but in fact they are talking about the cold weather and the reason why the cold weather retreats. What is the deep meaning behind it?
Because there are some things that Shen Qing knows, Duan Tianwei also knows, and Shen Qing doesn’t know, Duan Tianwei also knows!
