For a moment, the meeting room was filled with anger.
"How dare these impoverished people become so ambitious? How dare they touch our ideas? Are they going against the grain?"
"Yeah, are you out of your mind because you're poor? Are you planning to hit our 'Wine Merchants Guild'? Aren't you making yourself uncomfortable?"
"Hmph! I think they are too comfortable. If we don't give them some clues, we really think the Looney in our pockets is fake."
"Yeah, I think everyone has stopped shipping goods recently. Just prepare the manpower and compete with the people in Zancicheng."
What this man said in the end won the hearts of everyone.
"Since everyone thinks so, let's take action." McNee did not look at everyone, but swayed the red wine in the glass and looked at the swaying ripples and said, "Gather the troops and head for Zantz. This time, we must seek justice."
"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison.
Originally, these wealthy businessmen came to Lao Jiugong to discuss countermeasures. Now that they knew the mastermind behind the business interception incident, they had no countermeasures to discuss and just launched an attack to investigate.
"Tomorrow, the army will gather outside Tilea City. Follow me to conquer this fellow Oneyin!" McNee put down the hourglass cup in his hand and stood up quickly. Two vigorous cheetahs seemed to pop out of his round pupils. The blue, dancing figure emphasizes the unstoppable raging waves.
Everyone also stood up, their expressions flashing with eager ambition and unquenchable expectations.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, these wealthy businessmen in Tilea City have been waiting for such an opportunity for so many years.
Or Neiyin handed over the excuse to send troops.
After everyone left, John Philodi, who had been hiding in the darkness, came out.
Compared with the majestic temperament of his eldest brother Rusty, John looked thin and pale, but there was a sinister danger hidden in his eyes.
"Father, this matter shouldn't be that simple, right?" John asked in a low voice.
"What should I say?" Old Wine Barrel turned around and glanced at John.
"Oneiyin, father, don't you understand? From what I've seen in the past few years, he doesn't seem like someone who has the guts to do such a thing." John looked at his father and said.
"Then who do you think you are? Who dares to think this way?" McNee curled his lips and said, "Besides, at the moment, does it matter whether he, Oneyin, did this?"
"Father, what do you mean..." The eldest son, Rusty, was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Sooner or later, we will take action against the people in Zantz City." McNee said coldly. "As for whether they did it or not, I can't control that much now."
"Having said that, we have to be careful if there is someone else behind the scenes who is planning this." John reminded, "If the person behind this is planning a fight, he wants us to start a fight with Oneyin and the others so that he can sit back and take advantage of the situation. Where is Wen Zhili?"
"Then who could this person be?" McNee asked, squinting at his youngest son.
"From the current point of view, it is possible that the Marquis of Elu and his cousin Duchess Sloane could do this." John said.
Rusty looked disdainful and ridiculed: "The Marquis of Elu is already dead in the grave, do you still have the heart to pay attention to him? As for his slutty cousin, she always focuses on those male favorites. She Can your hand be stretched so long?"
John lowered his head and did not argue with his elder brother.
"Your second brother's worries are not unreasonable." McNeese said after thinking about it.
As for the Marquis of Erou, the old wine barrel was always unsure of what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. As for Sanifanza, McNee was a little afraid of this famous woman. After all, being able to control the Principality of Tiler for so many years would be impossible if he didn't have some moral skills.
After hearing what his father said, Rusty did not refute. As for his heart, he really didn't take Marquis Elu and others seriously.

Ria and his party, who were rushing back to Zantz City from Fengklan, were passing near Tilea City when they saw flags fluttering and carriages and horses lined up. Ria knew something was wrong─Elwin took action.
"Teacher, do these large and small mercenary groups seem to be heading west?" Ji'ao, who was driving the car at the front, turned back and looked at Liya and asked.
"Come on, have you already taken action?" The old man raised his eyebrows, poked Riya next to him with his elbow and whispered.
Riya remained silent.
During the two days of rushing back from Fengkelan, Ria had already shared a general summary of Alvin and his thoughts with the old man and Meng Pu. After listening to this, both of them had the kind of jaws that almost dropped to the ground. expression.
Only then did they understand why Riya had to rush to Fengklan to launch a "Five Summit Meeting" this time. Because this matter is really too big, and it is something that destroys the foundation of the world. It's not just as simple as shaking the status of the Holy World Religion.
After hearing the ideals described by Riya, the old man didn't sleep well for two days. He kept thinking about various issues, including political structure and legislation. He knew that Riya brought him along just to solve these problems.
"I remembered! You are Elder Turang!" Meng Pu, who had been frowning and silent, suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed. He didn't care about the external environment at all, nor did he care where the group of people in front of him was going. He was simply immersed in reading through his mind.
If the old man didn't sleep well these past two days, Meng Pu didn't sleep well either. Of course, what Riya said was shocking, but what really made Meng Pu sleepless was the identity of the old man. He thought he had seen this person before, but he couldn't remember it. It's also strange that Riya deliberately didn't introduce the old man's identity, which made Meng Pu waste so much energy.
A name that cannot be spoken always drives people crazy.
Fortunately, Bishop Mengpu remembered before going crazy.
"The Universal World Honored Instructions was revised under your guidance, right?" Meng Pu asked, staring at the old man, and then took a long breath, "I finally remembered it, finally remembered it... "
If Alvin knew that the "The Admonitions of the Universal Master" he had read was a version that had undergone a large-scale revision decades ago, and the original version was even more bizarre and terrifying, he would definitely admire this old man named Turang. . Although he also has a lot of criticisms about the current version.
"I remember...you...turn out to be an elder too. What...?" Meng Pu looked at the old man and asked curiously, "Where have you been all these years?"
"He went off to write acid poems for others." Riya's mouth was filled with teasing sarcasm.
"Oh, you are not an elder. I have quit my job a long time ago. It has been so many years. It has become a matter of old sesame and rotten millet. Why bring it up?" the old man said angrily.
Obviously, the old man did not want to talk more about why he resigned as an elder of the Universal Church.
Naturally, it was not convenient for Meng Pu to ask more questions, so he could only nod his head.
Ji'ao, who was driving the car, heard that the old man behind him was the editor-in-chief of the revised version of "The Admonitions of the Universal Master" and wanted to talk to him about the various allusions in the book, but when he saw the old man's face, he stopped talking. .
"Yes, there are so many mercenary groups, large and small, in a hurry. Where are they going?" Only then did Meng Pu turn his attention to the smoke-filled carriages and horses in front, "This is a war. Already?"
Obviously, Meng Pu’s last question was stupid.
"Don't worry, since he is a well-rounded person, he must have made a plan and will not act rashly." Old Turang smiled and comforted the uneasy Liya, and his smile was also full of ridicule. Whether he was teasing Ria for not being calm enough, or mocking him for not being able to handle Alvin, it was unclear.
"So what you just meant was...that this was all planned by Mr. Alvin?" Meng Pu looked at Tu Lang and said in surprise. Only then did he realize what Turand meant by what he had said earlier.
"I hope so." Ria said lightly.
"Do you believe it or not? No matter whether your trip to Feng Kelan goes well or not, he will take action?" Tu Lang looked at Riya and asked with a smile.
"Why do you know him so well?" Ria asked, looking at Turand.
"He doesn't care about the lives of the people in the world, so what does he have to do with us?" Turang sneered, "Besides, you who come and go in a hurry, don't you just hope that we can be used by him? "
"It's him who wants something from us." Riya replied coldly.
"Ha." Turang snorted disdainfully, his eyes seeming to say: "Stop pretending to be like me."
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------
Because the wealthy people in Tilea City were eager to accuse them, the mercenary groups marched very fast, so fast that the carriage Riya was riding in could not catch up.
Originally, this carriage had been running around for days and was on the verge of falling apart. Now it was pulling a cart of Linlang's household items. If Riya ordered the mercenary group to follow closely, then they might have to face " "Legs" and headed back to Zanci City.
As their two carriages were gradually being thrown away by the large army in front, a small group of people quietly came up from behind.
The four people sitting in this car were all helpless clergymen. They were retired elders, current elders, bishops, and missionaries. None of them could fight.
So they could only watch as the cavalry team of more than a dozen people gathered around them.
Ji'ao drove the car intently, trying to see if he could find a chance to break out. Of course, this is wishful thinking on his part. This clumsy horse and this fully loaded carriage all emphasized how unrealistic his idea was. If he was really cruel and whipped him down, he would probably see Riya, Turang and others scattered on the ground behind him.
Meng Pu is a little bolder. He was seen holding a silver javelin, standing in the carriage with his legs crossed, protecting the two old men behind him, and glaring at the group of horse bandits around him.
In fact, Meng Pu was trembling in his heart at this time. He probably never expected that the thing in his hand would come in handy so quickly. Unfortunately, this javelin was only used for decoration. At most, it was used to bluff people in front of the juniors of Universalism. Now if he was to use a gun in front of the enemy, he would be lucky if he didn't get hurt.
Just when Meng Pu was thinking about what kind of opening remarks he should use at this time, the horse bandit on the unicorn, with a strong posture, stood up with one hand and stood in front of Meng Pu in the blink of an eye. .
"You...I..." Meng Pu was so frightened that his tongue bulged.
The two old men behind him should be more calm. Turang pulled Meng Pu, whose legs were trembling, to sit down. Both he and Liya wanted to hear what the visitor had to say.
