After Lu Li and Shi Yan said goodbye, a strong man at the wine table said, "Second brother, although this business is not a big deal, it is very hot."
As the strong man broke the silence, another rather capable middle-aged man also sighed: "Prince Yan's Mansion is now in an embarrassing situation. Prince Yan is almost crowded in the court and has no place to stay. Now that they have suddenly made a move, I'm afraid It’s going to cause a storm.”
The views of these two people were quite agreed with by the rest of the people at the wine table.
They didn't say a word before and just regarded themselves as transparent people. That was because of Wanshitang's rules. When discussing business, they couldn't speak unless the second master allowed them to speak.
Now that Lu Li is gone, this group of people can't sit still.
Zhao Hanhe looked around and did not answer them. Instead, he looked at Ah Qi, who had just returned, and asked: "Old Qi, what do you think?"
Ah Qi was silent for a moment, then uttered four words in a deep voice: "Unstoppable."
"Yes, this is exactly the shortcoming of our Wanshitang Hall..." Zhao Shanhe sighed, and then looked around at the few old brothers, "Our Swallowing Heaven Holy Kingdom started with the Demon Sect, founded the country with force, the people are sturdy, and everyone Freedom, but don’t forget that the Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom has now become a major trend.”
"The Nine Palaces of the Imperial Capital are the most powerful forces in the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven. Even though Prince Yan's Palace seems to have declined in the eyes of outsiders, all it takes is Prince Yan to raise his finger to destroy our Wanshitang. .”
"Besides, you haven't thought about the recent disasters in the Holy Kingdom. Six princes from the Nine Palaces left their fiefdoms and entered the imperial capital. It coincided with the return of the princess. What kind of terrifying waves are hidden in this situation?"
"The King of Yan is responsible for raising funds for disaster relief. There has been no progress in this matter. I am afraid that she is close to madness. Anyone who dares to stop her will be dead. You say, under such circumstances, even if you know that there is an abyss ahead, Do we dare not to dance?”
After Zhao Shanhe said what he said, the scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
In fact, these things are not a secret. Even without Zhao Shanhe's analysis, it is not difficult for them to guess it. However, they have lived in the city and away from the court for a long time, and the original intention of establishing Wanshitang was just not to get involved in the turmoil of the Holy Kingdom's senior officials. Now that they encountered the incident in Prince Yan's Mansion, their first reaction was to escape.
Unfortunately, there are some things they cannot escape and absolutely cannot escape.
"But it's not like Jiufu and major aristocratic families have never recruited us over the years. Our Wanshitang has always remained neutral and never slanted to any side. That group of talents didn't take action against us."
"Now we are helping Prince Yan's Mansion, even if it is just some business cooperation, if word reaches the ears of other mansions, we will be completely marked by Prince Yan!"
The strong man who spoke first sighed, his tone a little worried.
He ranks third in Wanshitang, just below Zhao Shanhe, and he has a strong say in Wanshitang's decisions.
Although Wanshitang is a group of casual cultivators, it has considerable influence in the imperial capital.
Where is the imperial capital? Holy King City! To be able to gain a foothold here, Wanshitang is by no means a ragtag group, let alone Zhao Shanhe's Yiyantang.
Zhao Shanhe took a deep look at the strong man and asked: "Third brother, I still say what I said. Now Prince Yan's palace is unstoppable. If we refuse, we will offend Prince Yan, and the result will be death. So why not take a gamble? "
"What's more, I don't feel like this Lu Li is a simple character. Maybe he can really change Prince Yan's Mansion."
At this point, Zhao Shanhe paused and his voice suddenly turned cold: "And don't forget, the six princes gathered in the imperial capital are not just for disasters in various places."
"Second brother, no way? You mean, Jitian Demon Kingdom is really going to start a war?" The third child really couldn't sit still this time.
Not only him, but also several other people present had flashing eyes and strange expressions.
Zhao Shanhe said nothing and looked at Ah Qi again.
In Wanshitang, everyone performs their duties, and Ah Qi is the leader of the intelligence department. No one knows more about the troubles and disturbances in the outside world than he does.
Ah Qi nodded and said: "There are indeed signs that the Jitian Demon Kingdom can no longer hold back. The Holy Kingdom has been suffering from constant disasters recently and its national power has been wasted, which undoubtedly gives them the best opportunity to start a war. According to reports from brothers outside, Jitian Demon Kingdom has recently been on the border. The Kingdom of Heavenly Demon has organized several trial attacks, and there have been constant frictions. This is not a normal phenomenon."
"Those lunatics..."
After hearing Ah Qi's reply, someone murmured.
This is not derogatory, but a fear from the heart.
The so-called five major demonic kingdoms are names given by the world, but among these five kingdoms, four major kingdoms still continue the tradition of the demonic sect and call themselves the Holy Kingdom.
Only the founding emperor of the Jitian Demon Kingdom believed that the name "Demon" was a symbol of the world's awe for them and a symbol of strength, so he simply called himself the Demon Kingdom and took the name Jitian.
The Jitian Demon Kingdom is indeed very powerful. Over the years, it has been fighting everywhere, forcing the three major Holy Kingdoms to cede territory and seek peace. Only the Swallowing Heaven Holy Kingdom and the Jitian Demon Kingdom have not fallen behind in the head-on confrontation, and have continued to support them to this day.
Now this group of lunatics saw that the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven had been wasted by disasters and its national strength was wasted, and finally couldn't help but show their fangs.
This also just explains why six princes from the Nine Prefectures left their fiefdoms to gather in the imperial capital. At the same time, it also shows that the current Heaven-Swallowing Holy Kingdom is likely to begin to integrate all forces.
"So, no matter which government we bet on, this is a bet that we can't lose. Because no matter who we are branded with, we are actually serving the Holy Kingdom. Do you understand?"
Zhao Shanhe said nothing until the end.
It is enough to mention some things here, but it would be taboo to say anything further.
The other people were all enlightened at this time, and no one raised any objections. They all stood up and left, preparing to complete the business from Prince Yan's Mansion.
…
"Master Lu, if we do this, if King Yan finds out, he will be dead."
Shi Yan had always been worried about what Lu Li had just said, but when he saw Lu Li still sitting there leisurely eating cakes, he couldn't help but start admonishing him.
"The business of this restaurant is good. It seems that it usually adds to the income of the palace." Lu Li didn't take Shi Yan's words to heart. Instead, he commented on this restaurant under the name of the palace.
Although King Yan has his own fiefdom, the industries within the imperial capital also account for a large part of the income. After all, this is the capital of the royal city, the largest city in the Holy Kingdom. Doing business here will naturally bring considerable benefits.
When Shi Yan heard that Lu Li was still in the mood to care about this, he couldn't help but said, "Master Lu, now is not the time to eat or drink. What on earth are we going to do?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you all at once when Tan Long invites the people I want to see." Lu Li put down the pastry in his hand and suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the restaurant. He smiled and said, "Here he comes."
