The light gradually emerged, and people slowly opened their eyes from sleep. Soon they gathered on the street, with smiles on their faces and looking in one direction expectantly.
That direction was guarded by many soldiers, who divided the crowd on both sides, and the middle instantly became empty. Many people did not blame the soldiers, because today is a special day that concerns the entire continent.
The place where the soldiers were guarding was the Gao family. They were going to pick up the leaders of the Tang and Zhou families. The soldiers were very cautious when facing the crowd, for fear that the demons would suddenly come to cause trouble. There were also many masters hidden in the dark. Whenever there was any movement, they would Can destroy monsters instantly.
As the crowd was talking, two figures soon came into view. They were protected by soldiers, their faces were very serious, and they didn't say a word the whole time. When they reached Gao's house, a soldier asked them to wait, and a domestic slave quickly Ran in.
The two people didn't speak and stood solemnly until someone in the crowd said: "Chief Tang, Chief Zhou, you must defeat the demons." Many people shouted enthusiastically and hopefully.
The soldiers signaled them to be quiet, but Tang Can and Zhou Zhitong still didn't speak or respond to them, just waiting for the slaves to come out.
"Here you are, you are finally here."
At this time, the person who came out of the door was not a domestic slave but Kaohsiung. He walked up to the two of them with an expectant look on his face, as if old friends for many years were suddenly reunited, and his face was full of memories of his youth.
"Kaohsiung, you are still the same, annoying."
Tang Can and Zhou Zhitong lost their serious expressions after seeing Kaohsiung. Tang Can even teased Kaohsiung. Although Kaohsiung has gotten older, his annoying character has not changed at all, and his mouth is full of hypocrisy.
"Aren't you still the same as before? You always like to chatter."
Zhou Zhitong smiled and lowered his arrogance towards Tang Can.
The three of them suddenly burst into laughter, feeling inexplicably happy in their hearts. Perhaps this is how people are, there are no so-called enemies, only confidants in their hearts. If there were no disputes in the continent, and if the three of them were not leaders, maybe they would be friends, or even hidden friends. Bosom friends in the mountains, chatting and toasting with each other.
They are not ordinary people, but family leaders with important responsibilities. There are countless people behind them waiting for them to protect them. Although the three of them are now in harmony, they all have their own wishful thinking in their hearts.
"It's not easy for you to come to the Southland. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. How can we reunite old friends without good wine for many years? Today, let us put aside our grudges and have a drink and fulfill our friendship as a landlord."
Kao Xiong said and took the hands of the two of them and left. Tang Can and Zhou Zhitong were pulled into the court without even having a chance to speak. The table was full of sumptuous wine and food, and they were both pulled by Kao Xiong to sit down. Down.
"Kaohsiung, we are not drinking today." Tang Can stood up.
Kaohsiung was stunned for a moment, but he still greeted people with a smile. Zhou Zhitong also stood up. His expression at the door suddenly disappeared, his face became serious, and he said: "The people of the three ethnic groups are being destroyed. How can we let them go?" Drinking here, since Tang Can doesn’t want to reminisce with you and me, let’s talk about business and get rid of all these things!”
Kaohsiung was furious when he heard that these food and drinks were all to entertain them, but Tang Can didn't appreciate it. Zhou Zhitong was also a man who acted according to the circumstances, which made him instantly lose face and said: "Tang Can, I know you The purpose of your visit is that I am also the dignified Lord of the Southern Land. Since you are here, you are my honored guest. I have prepared this meal for you. If you don’t appreciate it today, how can I, Kaohsiung, see my people?"
"Kaohsiung, it's not that I don't give you face, it's that I can't let go of the suffering of my people. As the leaders of the three tribes, we should solve the problem as soon as possible instead of drinking and talking here. This is not my style."
Tang Can also knew that Kaohsiung was very angry, but compared to the people of the three ethnic groups, this matter was a trivial matter. If the suffering of the people was deepened because of a meal, this was something he did not want to see, after so many people came to the south. Tian has been surveying the public opinion, and found that this place is even more chaotic than the east land, and people from the demon clan are emerging in endlessly. This shows that we can't waste a little time, and we must not delay things that can be solved as soon as possible.
Kaohsiung looked a little embarrassed and said: "Tang Can, I wanted to entertain you but you gave me such a bad treatment. Is this your attitude towards asking me to cooperate? If you had the ability to eliminate the demons, you wouldn't come to me, and My Nandi has always been very harmonious, if you don’t even give me this bit of face, then there is no need to continue the conversation.”
"You know what I, Tang Can, am like. I always put my people first in front of my family and people. Just because I don't drink doesn't mean I won't give you face. At present, the demon clan is getting stronger and stronger. Only the three of us can join forces." Block their attack, if you make trouble with me over a meal, I don’t guarantee that I will make a serious decision next.”
"Tang Can, are you trying to scare me?" Kaohsiung slapped the table.
Tang Can looked at him fiercely and said, "You can try it."
The two of them were at war with each other, and their faces were very unhappy. Zhou Zhitong hurriedly stepped forward to calm them down. If they didn't care, they would have to fight like before. But now is not that period. They must stop their anger and said: "Kaohsiung, Tang Can, The three of us have been fighting for our whole lives and finally sat together in this situation. Please stop arguing and let me say a word."
Tang Can and Kao Xiong looked at him.
"We gathered in the Southland just for the alliance. Yu Gong, our people are indeed suffering. Countless people are growing in demonic power every day. Haven't you ever thought that we can control a person's body, but Regardless of their wishes, even now the alliance may not be able to completely destroy the demons, so we have to take a long-term approach."
"Zhou Zhitong, are you suspecting that I'm not thoughtful enough?" Kaohsiung was slightly angry.
Zhou Zhitong looked at Tang Can and said: "In private, we have been enemies for several years and confidants for several years. Since we finally get together here, Kaohsiung has done nothing wrong by showing us the friendship of landlords. Don't forget, these three You are not the one who has the final say on the clan. Although the people suffer, the alliance will inevitably fail due to different opinions. Tang Can, you have been the leader for so many years, don’t you understand the ways of the world?"
Tang Can calmed down a lot after hearing this, and then looked at Kaohsiung and said: "Zhou Zhitong is right. I was too anxious just now and ignored the feelings of you, the leader of the South. I am deeply sorry and willing to punish myself with three drinks." my apologies."
Seeing Tang Can like this, Kaohsiung also became kind and said: "No, it was because I, Gao, didn't think well. I knew you were righteous and caring for the people, but I almost fell out with you. This is my mistake, and I will punish myself three times." my apologies."
"Okay, nothing is wrong. I am the one who is at fault. Let's put aside the idea of alliance first and let's compete over the wine." Zhou Zhitong picked up the wine and said with a smile.
"Zhou Zhitong, I think you never drank from me back then, can you do it now?" Kao Xiong teased.
"Then let's compete." Zhou Zhitong drank a drink by himself.
"Stop bragging, which one of you is my rival when it comes to drinking?" Tang Can said.
"Then stop talking nonsense and come and pour us some wine." Kaohsiung said with a look of dissatisfaction.
The three of them drank happily, reminisced about the past, and sang songs over the wine.
