"The first family."
The fifth master Hou did not comment, but then he looked at the maids around him, waved his hands, and the maids immediately retreated. Then, the fifth master Hou looked at Lu Li and said: "Mr. Lu, we people don't tell secrets. Now in Yanzhou, everyone There is a news circulating that the Marquis died in the hands of your Prince Yan's Mansion. There are always discordant voices from all over the Hou family. Many people want to avenge the Marquis, but they are all suppressed by me. . The Hou family doesn’t want to conflict with Prince Yan’s Mansion now, but that doesn’t mean that Prince Yan’s Mansion can take advantage of it.”
"The matter of the Marquis has not yet been decided. If it is finally proven that he really died in the hands of Prince Yan's Mansion..."
When Hou Wuye said this, he paused slightly, but did not continue.
But his meaning was already very obvious.
If Lord Hou really died in the hands of Prince Yan's Mansion, the Hou family would definitely take revenge.
After all, Mr. Hou is the real helmsman of the Hou family. He has mysteriously disappeared. Whoever takes over his position must have an accurate attitude.
Otherwise, the authority that Mr. Hou has established in the Hou family over the years will become the biggest obstacle in the future.
Although the Hou family is an aristocratic and wealthy family, it should put profits first, but the Hou family has achieved the size it is today. There must be many die-hard loyalists to Mr. Hou within the family.
Despite the fact that the fifth master Hou and the eighth master Hou were fighting openly and secretly, it seemed extremely lively, but there were still many people in the Hou family waiting for news about the master Hou.
"Could it be that the Fifth Master is warning Prince Yan's Mansion with his words?"
Lu Li did not admit that the Marquis was 'killed' by Prince Yan's Mansion, but he did not deny it either.
He just asked lightly.
Hou Wuye said with a smile: "Prince Yan's palace is in full swing. Of course I don't mean that. However, Mr. Lu must be more careful and don't get caught. Yanzhou seems to be calm now, but I want you to More than one or two people died."
"You don't need to worry about this." Lu Li said with a smile: "The things I did must have blocked the way of many people. It's normal for them to want me dead. But Fifth Master thinks, Can anyone really kill me?"
Lu Li looked around and smiled even more: "To this day, I'm still alive."
Hou Wuye's eyes changed slightly, and he clenched his hands quietly, but did not refute Lu Li's words.
During this period, there were countless people in the Yanzhou family who wanted Lu Li dead, and many people took action.
However, those assassinations were not even close to Lu Li's body, and were easily solved by Zheng An.
On the surface, Zheng An seems to be just flattering Lu Li. He is a great master, but he is worse than a bastard. But don't forget that he is the third leader of the Earth Tribe, and he is still capable of fighting against the incarnations of gods and humans. people.
In Zheng An's eyes, the killers sent by the Yanzhou family were just like children's play, they were all inferior tricks.
Even if some families desperately wanted Lu Li to die, and even spent a lot of money on it, sending out Grandmaster-level killers, in the end they just became nameless corpses that were disposed of by the Yan Palace.
The Hou family may not be included in this.
Therefore, Hou Wuye believed that Lu Li's words were also a warning.
However, at the moment when Hou Wuye was slightly confused, Lu Li sat up straight and asked with a smile: "Fifth Master has been chatting with me for a long time, but not a single key point has been reached. In order to save both parties' time, I Just ask."
After a pause, Lu Li suppressed his smile a little, "Does the Fifth Master have the final say in the Hou family now?"
The Fifth Master Hou came to his senses and was about to answer Lu Li's question when a long laugh came from outside the meeting hall: "Of course he doesn't count what he said!"
"Eighth Master..."
"Ba Ye!"
Outside the meeting hall, someone spoke urgently, firstly to stop him, and secondly to remind Mr. Hou Wu.
The moment he heard this voice, Hou Wuye's eyes became gloomy. Just as he was about to stand up, Hou Baye had already passed the Hou family members and stepped into the hall. He first looked at Hou with a half-smiling look. The Fifth Master glanced at him, then looked at Lu Li, cupped his hands and said, "I've met Mr. Lu."
The fifth master Hou was only halfway through getting up, but he was left standing there, his expression even more ugly.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly became weird.
Lu Li squinted at the eighth master of the Hou family, stood up, and saluted in return: "Is this the eighth master of the Hou family?"
"I've admired you for a long time."
Hearing this, Master Hou waved his hands with a smile: "As an old man as I am, there is nothing I can look up to for a long time. On the other hand, Mr. Lu is truly extraordinary. He is already a master at such a young age, which puts me to shame."
"Eighth brother, why don't you feed the fish today?"
The fifth master Hou's expression changed several times, but he knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion. He sat down silently and said calmly: "Mr. Lu, I will entertain you, so I won't bother you."
"I feed the fish every day, but I'm tired of it."
Hou Ba Ye ignored the dissatisfaction in Hou Wu Ye's tone, walked directly to Lu Li and sat down, dusted his front, and said with a smile: "Now the Hou family has no owner, you and I are the only two brothers who can say a few words based on our seniority. , if I don’t come forward to receive a distinguished guest like Mr. Lu, what will it be like? It’s in vain that people will laugh at the fact that there is no one in the Hou family!”
Speaking of this, Mr. Hou Baye sneered loudly at Mr. Hou Wu.
Hou Wuye snorted and didn't answer.
He was obviously reminding that the position of the head of the Hou family has not been settled yet, and he was acting too impatient.
However, Fifth Master Hou suppressed the anger in his heart and reluctantly smiled at Lu Li: "My eighth brother has been a little lazy recently and has been slow to come. Please don't blame Mr. Lu."
Lu Li was still waiting for the next chapter of the two people with the mentality of watching a good show. However, these two treacherous and cunning guys were obviously suppressing their anger and did not intend to have a conflict now. It was just a joke for him, an outsider. .
So Lu Li felt a little disappointed in his heart, but said calmly: "Master Hou is considered an elder, so it doesn't matter."
"Hey, if everyone respected the elderly and the virtuous like Mr. Lu, my Hou family would not be in this situation."
The fifth master Hou actually followed Lu Li's words and sighed, making a pun full of irony.
Hou Baye was still smiling.
Lu Li was always observing the expressions of these two people, and couldn't help but think of the information that Song Bocheng had passed back.
According to the intelligence collected by the Tianbu and Gong Yunhong's dictation, the eighth master of the Hou family appeared to have a hot temper, and he was very deep in the city, and was deliberately trying to go against the Hou master. As for the eighth master of the Hou family, he also received a very thoughtful comment, but his attitude was that of Xianyun Yehe, and he was uncontested in every aspect.
Although the two people Tianbu and Gong Yunhong saw may not be accurate, they are enough to serve as a valuable reference.
But now that Lu Li saw the two of them with his own eyes, he felt that this information was of little value.
These two treacherous old immortals have none of the characteristics described in the intelligence.
Even if they were swapped, there would still be nothing wrong with that information.
"These two immortals are probably more troublesome than the Marquis."
Lu Li is not afraid of the Marquis's 'wisdom', because the smarter a person is, the more they are able to weigh gains and losses. The more they consider, the more opportunities they can take advantage of. What I'm afraid of is this kind of bad-tempered old guy. They don't care about anything but themselves.
Unless they break up and convince the two of them by themselves, it will really take a lot of effort today.
Thinking like this, Lu Li calmed down and simply said: "Since the Hou family is now dominated by two people, you two might as well listen to the purpose of my visit today."
"It's what I asked for."
Hou Wuye raised his hand to signal.
Hou Baye also turned his gaze to the side and smiled gently.
The two of them were really curious as to why Lu Li, who was in the prime of his life, came to the house in person. Especially in such a sensitive situation.
You know, Lu Li's life has now become a thorn in the side of the Sanzhou family. There is a secret reward for him, and a sky-high price has been mentioned.
No matter how fearless he is, leading two Tongxuan realm warriors to risk his own life to visit him is the same as risking death.
Both Hou Wuye and Hou Baye want to ask Lu Li, do you know that whenever we give an order and the Hou family closes the door, the masters and powerful men will rush forward. Today, you, Lu Li, will die here
