The officers yelled loudly, but few responded.
What a joke!
The guns of the Longshan soldiers on the opposite side were all aimed at everyone. Anyone who made a rash move might be beaten into a hornet's nest in the next second.
In this case, the stupid officer would shout "shoot" arrogantly.
Grandma’s!
Is this a distortion of human nature, a loss of morality, or simply atavism?
All in all, no one dared to fire a shot after the officer gave the order.
On the contrary, several infrared aiming rays were fixed on the officer's body.
"I don't know if the soldiers you lead have the courage to die generously, but my soldiers have the consciousness to die for me. This is the fundamental difference between you and me! If you dare to scream in front of me, it is completely yours. Ignorance, if you were a smart person, you should get out of here right now!”
Song Ziyu responded calmly.
"You dare to openly disobey orders?"
The officer's face was livid, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.
Being targeted by so many sniper rifles would make a normal person feel uncomfortable.
"Brother Song, don't be impulsive!"
Xiang Wei pulled Song Ziyu and persuaded him: "In Zhizhou, there are many ways to fight, but using force is the worst... You let me handle it. .”
Xiang Wei panicked!
If Song Ziyu beat to death an officer sent by the Zhizhou Central Agency in his family's manor, the matter might escalate to an unimaginable level.
When that time comes, I'm afraid it won't be something I can solve on my own.
"Okay, I'll give you five minutes to handle it. If you can't handle it well, I'm going to handle it in my own way."
Song Ziyu turned around and left, then asked Xiang Wei to negotiate.
certainly!
Song Ziyu will not be idle either.
Now that he could feel the huge net coming towards him, Song Ziyu felt that he could not sit still and wait for death.
Immediately, Song Ziyu gave his men orders to prepare for a breakout.
Meeting?
Have a hammer meeting!
I shouldn't have come here.
What's the plan with a group of insects?
Song Ziyu felt disgusted with his previous thoughts.
During this trip to Zhizhou, Song Ziyu was used to the extravagant and corrupt life of the powerful people in Zhizhou.
These bastards are actually trying to build their own business?
I really laughed my ass off.
Song Ziyu was already prepared to set off to the wasteland immediately if there were any bad signs.
…
At the gate of the manor, Xiang Wei faced the officer alone and said, "I know you were ordered to do something, but you shouldn't be involved in this matter."
"Master Xiang, what do you mean by this?" the officer asked in confusion.
The military officer was still a little wary of the heir to the Xiang family.
Xiang Wei said calmly: "Think about it, if you handle this matter well, you will offend our Xiang family. If you don't handle it well, you will offend their Tong family. You, a small Central Zhizhou Army Why do the mid-level officers inside want to get involved?"
The officer smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't know this was the case when I came here."
"That's your problem! Why don't the generals who are higher than you dare to take action? Why do so many people from the Central Government Office of Zhizhou dare not ask? Why would you come? In the end, it's you who has your own ideas."
Xiang Wei lit a cigarette and said calmly: "If I tell you, you shouldn't be thinking about asking for credit! You may not know that because of your thoughts, your family's efforts to climb up for generations may be wiped out. And the next few generations of your bloodline may lose their chance to become masters forever because of your fault."
This was said tepidly, but it threatened the officer's ancestors for generations.
The officer finally found out and became afraid.
"Young Master Xiang, I know I was wrong...but I'm riding a tiger and it's hard to get off. Please teach me!"
The officer nodded and bowed, begging Mr. Xiang for a way out.
"Let's put it this way!" Xiang Wei narrowed his eyes and said: "Those who ordered you to search actually want you to die. Once you die, they will have an excuse to take action... And you, at best, can only be a You are an abandoned child. If you don’t want to be an abandoned child, then you must fully save yourself.”
The officer's head was like a rattle.
Xiang Wei said: "You should go back immediately and report to the person who ordered you that the manor has been searched and there is nothing unusual. Then quickly ask for a family leave to avoid this. When the matter is completed, no matter what the outcome is, it will not be involved." your turn."
When the officer heard this, his expression turned from worry to joy, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you very much, Master Xiang, for your advice. I will do it according to your instructions."
After saying this, the officer turned around and left with the people.
…
Xiang Wei solved the immediate crisis with a few words, but his mood was not as relaxed as he looked.
Back in the manor, Xiang Wei came to Song Ziyu and said, "The Tong family has big plans this time. Brother Song, you have to be careful every step you take in Zhizhou. The old man here has already started to act. ...I will definitely protect you."
Looking at Xiang Wei, Song Ziyu squinted his eyes and said, "You have no confidence in what you said."
"Alas." Xiang Wei sighed: "The power struggle in Zhizhou is different from that in the frontier! In a place where people drink blood, everyone can fight with each other and fight to the death! But in Zhizhou, the way of fighting is more vicious and vicious. , Machiavellian tactics have become an important means.”
"Stop talking nonsense."
Song Ziyu said: "I'm ready to return to the wasteland. I don't even bother to participate in any bullshit alliance conference!"
Xiang Wei thought for a moment and said, "That's right. It's a good thing that you leave before the trouble starts. I'll go and take care of it for you."
Immediately, Xiang Wei left the manor to prepare for Song Ziyu's team.
Hundreds of people left in need of food and documents from various places. Xiang Wei took care of all the needs. This seemed to be the only thing Xiang Wei could do for Song Ziyu.
However……
When Xiang Wei returned to Xiang's house, before he could start taking care of these things, he was greeted by the housekeeper: "Young Master, I'm here to invite you."
Xiang Wei didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went to the old house where the head of the family lived.
Although Xiang Wei is in a prominent position today, Xiang Wei's father is just one of the several unsatisfactory sons of the old man. Xiang Wei's achievements today are entirely due to his own success.
Therefore, Xiang Wei feels both awe and precaution against the contemporary family head.
At this juncture, the head of the family actually came to look for him. It seemed like something was going on.
Arriving at the old house of the owner, the old man was receiving several guests.
Xiang Wei took a closer look and his eyes almost bulged out.
Among the guests sitting with the old man, there was one with a big belly. Isn't it the old man from the Tong family, Mr. Tong?
"Xiaowei, come here."
The head of the house greeted with a smile.
Everyone looked at Xiang Wei. For some reason, these people's eyes seemed to have a strong intimidation force, and a drop of sweat dropped on Xiang Wei's face for no reason.
"The head of the family..."
Xiang Wei bowed forward.
The old man pointed at Wei and introduced to everyone: "This is my designated successor. I am very satisfied with Xiaowei's growth over the years. If nothing happens, he will be the helmsman of the Xiang family a hundred years from now." , when the time comes, I hope that old man Ji will take care of me and give Xiaowei more consideration."
As soon as this statement came out!
Xiang Wei was elated.
And the big shots from other families expressed their opinions: "Of course we have to listen to what Mr. Xiang says."
"Heroes come from young men!"
"You have another thousand-mile horse at home."
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, you and I are in the same boat."
"No matter when in the future, the interests of the Northern Steel Alliance will be shared by Xiangjia if we share them."
"Everyone should be on the same page."
Tong Xian also smiled and said: "Xiang Wei, you are much better than my useless son. If I had an heir like you, I would wake up laughing even when I fall asleep."
The compliments from these family bosses made Xiang Wei feel in a state of ecstasy.
As everyone knows, just when he was extremely happy, the old man's words directly caused Xiang Wei to fall from the clouds to the bottom.
"Xiaowei, the alliance between the South and the Federation is about to become a certainty. I plan to let you bring half of the family's elites into the Federation and start laying the groundwork for the future business empire... You should leave immediately!" The head of the Xiang family suddenly said Open your mouth.
Xiang Wei was a little confused by this 180-degree turn: "Master? I went to the south. What about the business in my hands?"
The head of the family said calmly: "You don't need to personally deal with those matters. I will send someone to take over."
Xiang Wei suddenly had a cold war!
"Ancestor, some businesses might not be able to be managed well without my family, right?"
Xiang Wei's attitude suddenly became tough.
Because Xiang Wei has already discovered that the old guy is trying to take away his inheritance and authority.
"Now that everyone is here for today's discussion, the policy that has been set will remain unchanged. Everyone is happy to cooperate."
As the head of the Xiang family saw off his guests, all the important figures from other families also stood up and left.
When the owner and Xiang Wei were the only two people left in the living room.
"Master? What do you mean?"
Xiang Wei no longer bowed in courtesy, but straightened his chest and looked at his old man.
The old man sighed and said: "Xiaowei, you are confused. Haven't you heard of the saying that a man is not guilty but he is guilty of carrying a jade?"
"what do you mean?"
Xiang Wei looked at his old man.
The head of the Xiang family sighed and said: "I won't hide it from you. These people came to me just now and made clear the opinions of most powerful people... We have made rapid progress in recent years and have achieved a leap in the family class, but we have also become some We are a thorn in the side of the family. If we keep running like this, we may be attacked by other families! By then, the Northern Steel Alliance will no longer have our Xiang family."
"What exactly did they say to you?"
Xiang Wei looked at the old man in disbelief.
The old man waved his hands dejectedly and said: "Politics is the art of compromise. I have sold out the food monopoly privileges held by our family and obtained other benefits."
"But what you gave away is my property!"
Xiang Wei panicked!
Unknowingly, he was betrayed by his family.
