Chapter five hundred and sixty-two: seeing the city fall in battle (2)
Of course not, I! I was seeking a seclusion life in front of me. For ten years, I have rarely even visited the Xuanmen headquarters where the public stones were cut into rulers. How could I be the person behind the scenes of the Lord of the Junmen?" Xiao Han smiled.
"The little Wu said in shock when she fought Qingcheng.
"The old master must not underestimate the master of the sect." Xiao Han smiled slightly.
"So Xiao Wu doesn't have that kind of relationship with you?" Zhan Qingcheng asked in surprise.
"What does the old master want me to have a relationship with Jun Sect Master?" Xiao Han asked with a smile. "Hey, I'm old, I can't change my mind." Zhan Qingcheng immediately recovered. In fact, it doesn't matter whether Qi Yingfei and Jun Chengwu have that relationship now. The reason why he asked was just to confirm it.
From the wharf to the Xuanmen headquarters, Xiao Han and Zhan Qingcheng walked back like a scattered manner.
Qi Fengnian didn't think anything. He was leisurely all the way, but the children of the Zhan family who followed Zhan Qingcheng were dissatisfied. It was such a long way to go. Why didn't Qi Yingfei arrange a few carriages? Did they just walk over like this?
These ancestors were walking, and they didn't dare to use their body skills to grab the nose in front or fly over their heads.
There was no one who could have an equal dialogue for many years. Zhan Qingcheng naturally developed the tame of giving orders from a high position, so it was naturally revealed in the conversation with Xiao Han. Xiao Han knew very well that this was not what he intended, but that a habit became nature.
"Qi Yingfei, this time Xiaoci and Xiaoyu did something wrong. I have already punished them. I apologize to you. Don't take it seriously. Be your leader of the Xuanmen Sect and continue to serve my Zhan Hall!" Zhan Qingcheng lowered his posture.
To be honest, it is very possible that someone can make Zhan Qingcheng say apologies like a person, but what Xiao Han wants is not this? But Zhan Qingcheng is sincere in being able to do this. Otherwise, if he didn't come back today, he wouldn't have accompanied him to say so many heartfelt words that he might have never said in his life!
It was really because of his feelings and reason. If Qi Yingfei was really the one who had been in charge, he would probably have been grateful and patted his chest to express his loyalty.
However, he is not. Although there is a difference between Zhan Qingcheng and Zhan Xiaoci, their essence is the same. They only think about the interests of the Zhan family. Of course, if it were him, he might have done the same thing, but he is not a member of the Zhan family after all, and he never thought about working hard for the Zhan family, let alone he is not really Qi Yingfei.
"Old Master, things have come to this point, and some things have been overwhelmed. I only believe in black and white words, and I don't believe anything else. Xiao Han shook his head slightly.
"Do you really want to split the Xuanmen out?" Zhan Qingcheng Yin said furiously.
"No, I didn't think about splitting the Xuanmen. I just wanted some autonomy. Xuanmen has not developed over the years because of too many constraints. If the annual income is not based on some shameful transactions in our secret, it is hard to say whether the Xuanmen can be maintained or not.
"I really have to do this?" Zhan Qingcheng stared at Xiao Han with his eyes.
"The old master should understand the current form of the Zhan Hall. The reason why the sea tribes agree to peace is not because they do not have the ability to fight again, but because they do not want to spend their energy on us. The peace bought with money can never be true peace. Xiao Han said calmly.
"I know, but if there was no Xuanmen, the Zhantang would be divided into pieces. I can't watch Zhantang go to destruction!" Zhan Qingcheng said firmly.
"Xuanmen is nothing more than Zhantang's money bag. Am I right? The old master? Xiao Han smiled slightly.
Zhan Qingcheng nodded, Xiao Han's words hit the nail on the head. No organization can survive without money.
"The gold coins provided by my Xuanmen to Zhantang are about 3 billion yuan every year, right? Adding to the purchased goods, the value is about 2 billion yuan. Is the total 5 billion yuan? Is this the number? Xiao Han asked.
"I don't know very well, but this is all well-documented." Zhan Qingcheng nodded.
"If the old master agrees to my conditions, Zhan Tang can take 10 billion from the Xuanmen every year. How about it? For every one million troops expanding Zhan Tang can spend 10 billion more from here!" Xiao Han stared at Zhan Qingcheng in a daze.
Zhan Qingcheng looked at Xiao Han in surprise. If he really agreed to Xiao Han's conditions, Zhan Tang's funds would be twice as abundant, which is undoubtedly very beneficial. However, 10 billion is not something that can be found, nor is it generated out of thin air. This requires a price.
Once Xiao Han agreed to the conditions, the Xuanmen will form a unique line within the Zhan Hall in the future and become the princes and princes within the kingdom.
However, if we follow the current situation, we may not be able to earn 5 billion yuan in annual wealth. As well as the dragon clan's record, the survival of Zhantang will be even more difficult.
"Don't worry, as long as Zhan Tang can agree to my conditions, I can pay you the 10 billion this year immediately. This is the same in the future. Pay one year in advance. If the old master is not at ease, write it in white and black, and let the dragon clan send someone to witness it and swear to the gods." Xiao Hanyou said.
"Do you want to cooperate with the sea clan?" Zhan Qingcheng asked.
"Old master, it's not my intention. In fact, this is inevitable. The waterway is now in the hands of the sea clan. The waterway has such great benefits. The sea clan doesn't want to get a share. Will they let us continue to use the waterway?" Xiao Han asked back.
"What's the point of doing this?" asked the headquarters for autonomy?" Zhe Qingcheng asked again.
If everything must be approved by the headquarters, then the business opportunity is said to be a factory. "Wouldn't you regret it?" Xiao Han bowed
"Since that's the case, why did Xuanmen expand its army and establish a fleet?" Zhan Qingcheng said.
"Now the sea race controls the waterway. Although we may cooperate, we must be defensive. We cannot foolishly let the agreement restrict our hands and feet. Our fleet must have the ability to protect ourselves when sailing on the sea. Xiao Han explained.
"Where is the island garrison?" Zhan Qingcheng asked, "You will expand your army by one million at once. You must know that the total population of our Long Island waters is less than 100 million."
"That is our island land defense force. Our Xuanmen has caused a lot of losses to the sea clan this time. Large-scale revenge may not be possible. But if one or two sneak in to make revenge, the island people under my Xuanmen will be panicked. The old master doesn't want to see such a thing happen, right?" Xiao Han said.
"Even if you plan ahead, there is no need to expand so many people, right?" Zhan Qingcheng said with a little stretched out between his eyebrows.
"Haha, we didn't say that it would take at least four or five years to expand so many people, and it would take at least four or five years to divide it into several steps. Xiao Han smiled.
"There is no problem to expand the garrison. It is OK to establish an escort fleet, but you also need to build a conventional garrison fleet, so there is no need to play tricks. Tianmen already has such a fleet, so why do you need to rebuild it?" Zhan Qingcheng said.
"The old master knows the number and combat effectiveness of the ships of the Tianmen garrison fleet. Such a fleet is used to defend against the sea tribes, which are not from other people's sea tribes. Needless to mention attacks, since the Tianmen does not look down on the construction of the garrison fleet, we will do it by our Xuanmen." Xiao Han said decisively.
"Everything I did is for the existence and future of Zhan Hall. Old Master, if I had been for my personal ambition, I might have promised you to be the agent leader of Xuanmen. If you hadn't sent Zhan Xiaoci to the door to lobby in person, I would not have promised this agent leader. Since I promised you, I must do this master well. This is my purpose." Xiao Han said very calmly.
"If the old master does not agree to my conditions, I will not do this acting master, and I will not attack the Dragon Island waters. I cannot bury myself for an organization without a future. I don't think it's worth it." Xiao Han continued.
"Are you leaving?" Zhan Qingcheng asked in surprise.
"Yes, secular power is not very attractive to me. What I pursue is the ultimate power and life. Otherwise, I would not have lived on Xuanmen Island for ten years and lived with a fixed offering every year. Although the power is good, it is not my goal." Xiao Han said.
"If I promised your conditions, what else can I get except what you said?" Zhan Qingcheng stared at Xiao Hanran like lightning.
"What do the old master wants to get?" Xiao Han asked.
"I want to know Xiao Wu's whereabouts?" Zhan Qingcheng stared at Xiao Hanju and said. "Old Master, how could I know the whereabouts of Lord Jun?" Xiao Han's heart trembled suddenly. Not only was the old man's cultivation unfathomable, but his eyes could even pierce his heart. The invisible pressure made his breathing disorder a little.
"Qi Yingfei, old man, I went back and thought about it for a long time. At that time, you were the only one who could save Xiao Wu under the eyes of so many people on Xuanmen Island." Zhan Qingcheng said seriously and seriously.
"Old Master, there are so many experts present. Why do you say that I have the ability to save the Lord of Jun?" Xiao Han calmed down and asked.
"If you hadn't defeated the old ghost Fu Kuohai, I wouldn't have doubted you. Among the people present that day, there were a few who defeated Han Kuohai. These people had close relationships with Xiao Wu, except you, so if Xiao Wu was not dead, you must know where she is, right? Zhan Qingcheng pressed step by step.
"Old Master, don't forget that I was injured and lying on the bed, why can I save people?" Xiao Han felt cold sweat in his heart. This ginger is old, it's not bad at all. With just a little intuition and reasoning, he found himself directly. He also made reverse reversals afterwards, but his explanations and reasons seemed very pale. If no one had doubted him, he almost thought that no one would know the fact that Jun Chengwu was saved by him.
"If you are injured, you can also be cured. What's more, you can feel sad when you are injured." Zhan Qingcheng pointed at Xiao Han and said.
"Old master, this is impossible. I was indeed injured at that time. It would be great if I could save my life. How could I save someone? Xiao Han tried his best to defend himself.
"I can't help you if you don't admit it, but I don't want to force you to hand over Xiao Wu. Now Xiao Wu is in your hands, maybe it's safer than returning to the Zhan family Zhan Qingcheng retracted his sharp gaze, his eyes slightly dim.
"What is the old master's meaning?" Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief and asked afterwards.
"The Zhuyu of the Fire Dragon Clan has challenged me," Xiao Zhan Qingcheng said slowly.
"What, Zhuyu challenged you?" Xiao Han was a little surprised.
"There are only you who know about this except Wushuang's ancestors, and no one else knows about it, including the Dragon Clan." Zhan Qingcheng said.
"When and where? Xiao Han suppressed the shock in his heart and asked.
"Three days later, Iwo Jima will fight against the beautiful road.
"Iwo Jima, isn't it an extinct volcanic island, it's still in the sea area controlled by the sea tribe?" Xiao Han said in surprise.
"Yes, this is the place chosen by Zhuyu. There are no big sea tribes gathering nearby, and it is also a distance from the Long Island waters. We agreed that only one person can bring one person to lose, and there are also individuals who can win the battle in Qingcheng
"Life and Death Battle Post!" Xiao Han's face condensed. When he received a life and death battle post in the duel, it means that only one person survived, and no need to say the other person, there is only death.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Xiao Han was surprised. Zhan Qingcheng told his purpose, obviously he wanted him to accompany him.
"Yes, no one is more suitable than you." Zhan Qingcheng said.
"I'm not a member of the Zhan family. I can say that I'm still in opposition to you. You go to me, it seems
"Do you think I have any conspiracy right?" Zhan Qingcheng said. Xiao Han didn't say anything, but he admitted it in his heart. You should not have the intention to harm others, and you should be careful of others. Zhan Qingcheng is one of the people he is very careful in his heart. How could he easily believe him?
"If you accompany me, I can agree to you immediately with the three conditions you have proposed!" Zhan Qingcheng threw out his bargaining chips.
"It seems that the old master has already planned it?" Xiao Han smiled bitterly. Zhan Qingcheng had grabbed his weakness. "If I came back with your body, would others think I killed you?"
"You can rest assured that Zhuyu wants to kill me to take revenge and will never blame you." Zhan Qingcheng said, "I can hand over Zhuyu's life and death battle letter to you, so that no one will doubt it."
"Okay, I promise you, but I won't be Qi Yingfei's identity." Xiao Han said.
"Oh, do you have another identity?" A dazzling light burst out from Zhan Qingcheng's eyes, and he kept aiming at Xiao Han's face.
“You will know then.
"Xiao Han smiled mysteriously and welcomed Zhan Qingcheng into his office.
"I heard that you have a lot of good wine here, can you invite me, the old man to have a drink?" As soon as Zhan Qingcheng walked into Xiao Han's office, his legs involuntarily walked towards the row of wine cabinets. Seeing the dazzling array of wine bottles, his old eyes kept flashing.
"You always want to drink, there is absolutely no problem!" Xiao Han greeted Wan Qibian and said, "Xiaoshou, bring us two cups."
Wan Qi smiled softly and nodded at Xiao Han.
"This girl is good, yours?" Zhan Qingcheng looked up and down at Wan Qishou unscrupulously and asked Xiao Han.
Xiao Han smiled and neither admitted nor denied it. Zhan Qingcheng was not as rigid as the legendary one.
"Yes, it's just that my cultivation is a little lower, but I'm good at raising my parents." Zhan Qingcheng's next sentence completely destroyed Xiao Han. How could such a fierce word "good for raising my parents" be revealed from the mouth of the master of Zhan Tang, a respected old senior? This guy is not fake, what's the difference between him and Yijie, the old hooligan?
"Which bottle do you always want to drink?" Xiao Han shook his head. Many people have two sides. Perhaps Zhan Qingcheng is showing his other side now.
"Just take a bottle in the middle, look at the blue one, it looks like the color of the sea, comfortable." Zhan Qingcheng pointed to the blue bottle in the center of the second floor of the wine cabinet.
"Okay." Xiao Han walked over without saying a word, opened the wine cabinet door, and took out the bottle.
"Sea Blue, the mainland has been alive for 8,936 years!" Xiao Han looked at the label on the bottle and read it out.
"Oh, this bottle of wine has been hidden for a thousand years, so I'll try mine." Zhan Qingcheng immediately narrowed his eyes and revealed a greedy light.
Although the bottle has a good seal, it has been a thousand years since then. The original full bottle of wine was almost half a bottle, but this is a bottle weighing ten juniper, and now there are at least five juniper wines in it.
Remove the outer sealing wax and use a special bottle opener to slowly pull out the cork under the bottle mouth, and an extremely strong aroma of wine spreads out.
"Pour good wine for me." Zhan Qingcheng said impatiently. Although he had countless wines in his home, and for many years, Xi had been more than a thousand years, he could not have collected all the fine wines in the world alone. This bottle of Haizhilan was also something he could not ask for. If he hadn't been able to hold his face down, Haizhilan would have entered the cellar of his wine storage.
Xiao Han smiled slightly. As long as he is a real man, there is no one who doesn’t like fine wine. Wine is born for men.
Only half a cup was reached, the blue wine rippled in the wine glass like silk satin, shaking slightly, and the aroma of wine became even stronger.
"Come on, let's have a drink." Zhan Qingcheng picked up the wine glass and said.
Xiao Han did not correct Zhan Qingcheng's slip of the tongue, and smiled slightly and ran into Zhan Qingcheng for a while.
Zhan Qingcheng raised his glass and went into his mouth. He drank half a glass of wine in one gulp, then smashed his mouth, closed his eyes, and said endlessly: "It is indeed a fine wine for thousands of years. Drinking this wine makes people feel like they are in the sea of water and waves. The joy of chasing flowers is really fascinating!"
"Is that true?" Xiao Han smiled. Drinking can still bring out the artistic conception. This was the first time he saw it. Instead of drinking it at Zhan Qingcheng, he slowly took a small sip and sucked it into his mouth to taste it slowly. The wine flowed from the gap of his lips into the teeth, then entered the mouth, and spread it, filling the entire mouth, and slowly swallowing it!
It is hard to explain what it feels like, and it cannot be described in words, but it seems that the sound of waves was heard in his ears, so real and so clear.
"How is it, what do you feel?" Zhan Qingcheng took a sip when he saw Xiao Han and asked with a smile.
