That night, the third uncle made an appointment with the head of the Luo family at a high-end restaurant at the junction of the Ye Yang family and the Luo family.
Chen Xing only brought Lao K and Jian Yue Cang Lian with him, while the others stayed on the airship. If they couldn't reach an agreement and started fighting, those without fighting power would be at a greater disadvantage.
Of course, this possibility is very low. No one in the satellite signal coverage area dares to break the law easily. Even if they can get past it by various means, the social credibility will be very low. In contrast, nobles pay more attention to superficial image than civilians, and obeying the law is regarded as one of the important manifestations of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
Just imagine, if the nobles take the lead in breaking the law, how can the country be managed?
All dirty things can only be done under the stage. If it is put on the stage, any country and force will severely crack down. If the matter becomes too big, becomes public knowledge, and even causes social unrest, the upper class will inevitably lose their support. No matter how many years of hard work you have done, whether you are a relative of the emperor or the fourth generation or the third prince, as long as you touch the entire upper layer of the cake, they will all be chopped off.
But this is always someone else's territory, and anything can happen. It's better to be cautious than ever before. This is why he shamelessly asked his third uncle to come forward. Although the third uncle cannot represent the Ye Yang family, he is the strongest clan elder before Ye Yang Bailiu. He once owned the ancestral counterfeit weapon, the Great Sun Demon Breaking Spear. Even if his status is lower than that of the family leader Ye Yang Zhengxiong, he can still represent half of the clan. The interests of the Ye Yang family.
With the third uncle coming forward as a witness, the other party had to think twice before making a show of aggression.
Although the Grand Duke lost face in Ye Yang Bailiu's marriage, the aristocratic families in Gray Corner City have been weak for a long time, and the strongest one is the Grand Guard. There are several lords in the city, either officials sent by the principality, or regional bishops stationed by the Holy Light Church.
After all, the Ye Yang family has a lord-level man who is also a great healer. Although he has some conflicts with his family, blood is thicker than water, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons. The Ye Yang family is really in trouble, and Ye Yang Bailiu will definitely bring people back to kill him.
Therefore, they will definitely give this face to the third uncle.
As for Chen Xing, there is the matter of annihilating the Yang family, there is the matter of maiming the third prince of Silver Claw Principality, there is the matter of Deep Sea Legend Shade Sinclair, there is the matter of Triris stepping in to defend him. , he and Jian Yue Canglian were guarding each other, and it was a slap in the face. Thinking about it, the other party would not be so desperate to carry out an assassination operation.
He only appeared here under multiple insurances. It didn't say it was 100% safe, but it was 95% safe.
"This is Master Luo, the head of the Luo family in Gray Corner City, Luo Tiancheng."
In the spacious and luxurious private room, Third Uncle introduced to Chen Xing.
"This is Chen Xiaoyou, Chen Xing. He is young and promising. He is considered a powerful person in the northern wilderness."
Although Chen Xing is the actual controller of Orchid Town, he was interfered with by the eldest princess Lacey. On the surface, the mayor of the town is still Pang Youcai.
"Nice to meet you!" Luo Tiancheng said with a smile and cupped his hands towards Chen Xing.
This is an old man who looks to be in his seventies, with gray hair on his temples, and a bit of a Taoist spirit. In this world, with advanced technology and access to psychic energy, human lifespan has been broken. It is difficult to tell the actual age just from appearance, especially after middle age.
Luo Tiancheng's body exudes guard-level psychic fluctuations, and his strength alone should not be able to extend his lifespan. The main life-extending methods are probably drugs and surgeries, such as potions made from some advanced mutant biological extracts, or replacing young organs.
In addition to Luo Tiancheng, there were about a dozen Luo family members present. Some seemed to be heirs of the Luo family, and some seemed to be retainers or temporary helpers. They all looked at Chen Xing with vigilance.
He only knew two of them, one was the seventh young master of the Luo family, Luo Shaotian, who had a malicious look on his face, and the other was the fifth young master of the Luo family, Luo Shaoqing.
Four years ago, Luo Shaoqing went to Orchid Town to explore the No. 65 survival shelter on behalf of the Luo family. During this period, he had some friction with Chen Xing, which was later stopped due to the intervention of Ye Yang Qingyan. Overall, there was no grievance, but there was definitely no good impression left on either side.
Chen Xing found that Luo Shaoqing's expression was a bit complicated, especially when the two made eye contact. It's no wonder that four years ago, when the other party was a child of an arrogant family and went to a remote place like Lanhua Town to do business, Chen Xing, as the local security team leader, lined up at the gate of the town to welcome him. He was very impressive and looked up. But time has passed, and the strength and status of the two are no longer on the same level.
The spiritual energy fluctuations on his body are only at the quasi-guardian level. In front of the big guard, there is a difference of two small levels.
"Nice to meet you!" Chen Xing returned the greeting with cupped fists. There is no need for him to pretend to be aloof when others greet him with a smile. It is best if he can solve the problem and everyone will be happy. "I've heard about Mr. Chen for a long time, and when I saw him today, he turned out to be very handsome..."
"Father, you don't have to give him face. He's such a despicable villain. Just slap him!"
Before Luo Tiancheng finished speaking, Luo Shaotian rushed up and pointed at Chen Xing and cursed.
The air froze instantly, and Chen Xing's eyes narrowed, as cold and sharp as a knife. Behind him, Jian Yue Canglian was about to step forward to scold him, but was gently pulled back by Chen Xing and stepped back.
"Presumptuous!" Luo Tiancheng shouted angrily, "It's not your turn to speak here!"
"Dad..." Luo Shaotian looked at Luo Tiancheng aggrievedly.
"Get lost!" Luo Tiancheng waved his hand hard and turned his back, "You useless thing!" He didn't even look at Luo Shaotian.
Several people in the Luo family seemed to be watching the joke. Only Luo Shaoqing stepped forward and pulled Luo Shaotian out.
"Mr. Chen, Luo's incompetence in teaching his son makes you laugh." Luo Tiancheng said with his hands in hand.
"It's okay..." Chen Xing returned the greeting, and then sat down at the other party's invitation, but his heart was beating.
The more friendly the other party is, the deeper the water is and the greater the other party's conspiracy. If it starts out like a group fight, with both sides exchanging some harsh words and fighting to the death, and then the third uncle comes forward to make peace, it seems that the problem will be easier to solve.
The other party's attitude is to be reasonable. It's troublesome to be reasonable. If someone scolds him a few times, he will beat them until they are beaten. He is definitely the one who is unreasonable.
Swearing and hitting are two different concepts.
Sure enough, not long after sitting down, the Luo family head’s bombshell came.
"Mr. Chen, I have been a child for a long time. I am overly pampered and reluctant to fight. This is why I develop this bad habit of speaking without restraint. I accidentally bumped into Mr. Chen and my words were very offensive. Please be considerate of this. After this meal, everyone in our Luo family apologized to Mr. Chen."
"My child, although he is not good in some places, his character is still good. You said that just because of a few words, he was beaten until he vomited blood, and several of his teeth were broken..."
"You also smashed up my store, causing me heavy losses. Both sides suffered damage. This matter can be considered settled."
Chen Xing interrupted the other party forcefully. He was a sales manager in his first life and was good at negotiating. He knew that he would become very passive if the other party continued to talk. It was obvious that the opponent was digging holes one after another just to force him to jump into them. At the negotiation table, whoever controls the rhythm will get more chips. When you are at a disadvantage, you must take the initiative to at least restore the balance. Otherwise, what is the point of talking about it if it is one-sided?
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Luo Tiancheng's face immediately darkened.
"Mr. Chen, what we smashed is your shop, but what you hit is the Luo family's face. If your own child is beaten and you can't explain it, the three hundred years of our Luo family's foundation will be in vain. Comparing our feelings, If it were your child who was beaten, it would be settled with just one sentence, would you agree?"
"Ye Laosan, do you think so?" Luo Tiancheng looked at his third uncle.
The latter half-closed his eyes and nodded slightly.
"If your little girl was beaten, wouldn't you come to the house with your big sun demon-breaking gun to ask for an explanation?"
The latter touched his beard and nodded slightly.
"I dare say that if either Bai Liu or Qing Yan was wronged, you would make a bigger fuss than me. Don't you think so?"
"Well..." After repeated attacks on the moral high ground, the third uncle was reduced to a puppet who could only stroke his beard and nod.
Chen Xing saw that it was not possible and said, "Okay, let's not talk secretly. I also did something wrong in this matter. How to solve it?"
"The cause of the matter is all Mr. Chen's fault, or Mr. Chen's advice on how to solve it." Luo Tiancheng kicked the ball back.
Chen Xing cursed in his heart, Damn it, you old fox. One of the skills of negotiation is to make the other party raise conditions as much as possible, and then continue to extort money and keep getting higher and higher.
"How do you say that the cause of the matter is all my fault? Without your son's free speech, how could there be today's results. Besides, you are the landlords and the masters, and I am the guest. It is up to Mr. Luo to figure out how to solve the problem. "Chen Xing kicked back calmly.
Luo Tiancheng's face was stern. He probably didn't expect that young man Chen Xing could be so good at negotiation. He glanced at his third uncle, and after receiving a nod from the other party, he said slowly, "Since Mr. Chen is so complimentary to me, I'm not polite." Yes, if I said anything wrong, please forgive me, Mr. Chen..."
After some opening remarks, Luotian City offered a sky-high compensation—five hundred thousand gold coins. "puff!"
Chen Xing was drinking tea and immediately spat out, "Five hundred thousand! Are you having a brain problem? You're going crazy thinking about money!"
"Hey, hey, don't be excited, don't be excited, talk to him if you have anything to say..." The third uncle quickly smoothed things over, then looked at Luo Tiancheng, who had tea sprayed on his face, and his face was a little gloomy, and handed the tissue over, "Old friend, A slap of five hundred thousand is indeed a bit outrageous."
Nowadays, science and technology are advanced and the medical level is high. Chen Xing's slap was a bit harsh, but going to the hospital for treatment with instruments only costs a few gold coins. Chen Xing used to spend five gold coins to repair his hand injured by electric shock in Orchid Town. Even if he had to re-implant a tooth, it would not cost more than fifty gold coins.
Luo Tiancheng spread out a paper towel, wiped the tea on his face, and said: "Since Ye Laosan has spoken, each of us can take a step back and get two hundred thousand." His face suddenly turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "Not a single penny less!"
Chen Xing's face darkened, "No need to discuss?"
"Yes!" Luo Tiancheng raised his eyebrows, threw the tissue he had wiped his face onto the plate, and turned to look at Chen Xing with a stern look on his face, "No need to discuss!"
Chen Xing was about to have a fit, but his third uncle spoke first, "Head of the Luo family, you have a right to treat others with mercy and mercy on others."
Anyway, his face was torn, Luo Tiancheng was no longer polite, and asked his third uncle coldly, "Ye Laosan, is this your intention or the intention of your Ye Yang family?"
"Whose idea does it matter?" The third uncle stroked his beard with a cold expression.
"Of course it's important." Luo Tiancheng deliberately raised his voice, "If it's your Ye Yang family's intention, I'll talk to other families. If it's your Ye Laosan's intention..." Luo Tiancheng approached and said, "I'm right to fart. !”
The third uncle's beard was so angry that he trembled. He slammed the table and stood up straight. He pointed at Luo Tiancheng and said angrily, "Old man Luo, don't go too far!"
"Why did I go too far? Do you want to go back and ask Ye Yang Zhengxiong that your elbows are turned outward to help outsiders bully your own family?"
"You!" The third uncle was so angry that he couldn't speak, and then waved his hands, "Forget it, I can't control this matter, you can figure it out yourself!" After saying that, he put his hands behind his back and left angrily.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think?" Luo Tiancheng looked at Chen Xing, "If you give me this money, we will be friends in the future. If you make any noise here, our Luo family will fully support it."
Chen Xing slowly stood up and grinned, but his voice was cold and cold, "I won't give him even twenty coppers, let alone two hundred thousand gold coins."
"You!" Now it was Luo Tiancheng's turn to be so angry that he could not speak.
"Let me tell you, if I really have to spend 200,000 yuan, I would rather use this money to destroy your Luo family!"
"Shuzi, don't say such arrogant words!" Luo Tiancheng pointed at Chen Xing, trembling with anger, and his aura surged in vain. When the other Luo family members saw this, they immediately stood up and gathered around.
Lao K and Jian Yue Canglian stood behind Chen Xing, their eyes like swords and their hands on their weapons.
"Want to fight?" Chen Xing tilted his neck and asked, "Okay, can I accompany you at any time?" Then, he activated his black watch and said viciously, "Come and apply for a duel. Those who don't dare are all grandsons!"
Luo Tiancheng was so angry that he was trembling, but he didn't have the courage to accept Chen Xing's application for a duel.
"You guys at the guard level, come here, I'll fight three of you, are you coming?" Chen Xing glanced around, but no one dared to answer.
"Okay, you are cruel enough!" Luo Tiancheng nodded, "We can't beat you, but I tell you, in this Gray Corner City, even if you are a dragon, you have to be controlled by me, and even if you are a tiger, you have to be protected by me. Lie down!"
"I will teach you today why it is said that the country is made of iron!"
"As long as you want to do business here, you can get the two hundred thousand, whether you pay or not!"
"Walk!"
After saying that, Luo Tiancheng waved his hand vigorously and led more than a dozen people from the Luo family out of the private room.
"Master..." Seeing Chen Xing's gloomy face, Yue Canglian hesitated to speak.
"You guys go back to the airship first, I have some things to do." Chen Xing quickly regained his composure and said calmly.
"yes!"
In the early morning, a dark shadow appeared outside the Luo family's house.
"Sora, give me the location of everyone nearby."
"As ordered..."
After a few seconds, there was a flash of lightning, a hissing sound, and the black shadow disappeared on the spot.
