Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

Meng Zhao understood these two messages to mean that the high-level forces in Yanzhou were relatively united, exclusive, and relatively independent.

Especially under the leadership of a certain influential person, this trait is brought to the extreme.

If we can get the support of Tan Changming, in fact, it may not be difficult to get the support of most high-level forces.

This also further deepened Meng Zhao's idea of ​​​​marrying with Tan Changming's family. To achieve hegemony, he must unite all the forces that can be won over. Although relying on a wife is not a good way to say it, and it is easy to be looked down upon, but the benefits fall into his mouth. , also really fragrant.

As for Wu Dazhi, Meng Zhao didn't have much idea about this person. If he could really join the Divine Sword Hall and be cultivated by the Divine Sword Hall in the future, he might still have some prospects.

The group of people was finally arranged to rest in a manor in the west district of Kaiming City. This was also Lu Houer's own property. Although the area was very large, the interior layout was considered elegant and exquisite.

The manor has a square layout as a whole. The front door is close to the river. There are three courtyards in the front, middle and back. Each courtyard is decorated with two small adjacent gardens and gardens, so there are many people living inside.

In addition to the elite disciples of the Pai Gang, most of them are maids who are pretty, well-behaved and cautious, as well as strong and capable women.

Monk Meng Zhao and Chengkong were arranged to live in the east adjacent courtyard of the Zhongkua courtyard, while the three monks Huikong rested in the west adjacent courtyard.

According to original estimates, they would spend three or two days renovating in the manor, and then set off for Yanzhou City, heading to the Tan family, with the purpose of discussing marriage.

This was a spur-of-the-moment decision that Meng Zhao made after meeting Monk Huikong. After all, according to the rules, it was not his turn as a junior to discuss matters of marriage and marriage. It was the parties involved who came to discuss it. This was different from when he accepted Lingwu. It's two different things to have the daughters of three families in the city as concubines.

This time he is marrying a head wife. The status of a head wife is quite important in the land of China, especially if her natal family is very powerful and can often influence or even control her husband's family.

However, unlike ordinary people, Meng Zhao and Tan Cai'er have a mutual connection. Their own Zhu'er is Tan Cai'er's personal maid. This girl will send letters to Tan Cai'er every once in a while, and Meng Zhao also knows it well.

According to the rules of a wealthy family, this Zhu'er should actually be Tan Cai'er's future husband-in-law's maid or even concubine. When Tan Cai'er is unwell or unwilling to sleep with her, Zhu'er will replace Tan Cai'er.

Now that Zhu'er has been taken as a concubine by Meng Zhao, it actually means that the marriage between the two parties has been tacitly understood.

Otherwise, with the power of the Tan family, they would have already sent someone to negotiate, either giving a dowry to acknowledge the matter, or sending the person back for punishment, instead of just turning a blind eye like now.

Based on this premise, Meng Zhaocai had the courage to come to Yanzhou City to discuss matters with Tan Cai'er.

By the way, meet Tan Cai'er's grandfather, mother, and even father. Everyone in this family is a big boss, and they all have their own power in their hands. If they can win over it, Meng Zhao's power will surely rise in a very short time. The inside expanded to a level that no one could have imagined.

Of course, there was another obscure reason that made Meng Zhao so impatient, and that was that he saw clearly the power of Beitang Sheng and learned about the other party's methods, which gave him a sense of urgency.

After freshening up, Meng Zhao changed into a navy blue brocade shirt and came to the main room of the small courtyard refreshingly.

Lu Hou'er was sitting in front of the calligraphy and painting by the west window of the room. At his hand was a heater, which was burning red. There was a copper basin on it, and a pot of wine was boiling in the boiling water.

Seeing Meng Zhao come in, Lu Hou'er quickly stood up and welcomed him over. He also moved the files that were half a desk high to the front and said,

"Dragon King, this is the roster of my platoon gang, as well as most of the account books. The other part is not included in the accounts, but I will sort out all the information later, write it down, and give it to the Dragon King."

Lu Houer was actually very reluctant to give up. Although he was affiliated with Tan Changming's forces in the past, he could only pay a protection fee. He alone had the final say on all matters concerning the gang and all income.

Within the Pai Gang, he is the boss and the overlord, and no one can go against his will.

Although he is just the leader of a Jianghu gang, his life may not be as good as those of the so-called aristocratic families, nobles and powerful people, and it may even be worse.

But now, since he has taken refuge in Meng Zhao, the Pai Gang no longer belongs to him, but to Meng Zhao.

From a business owner to an employee, not to mention the difference in status, it was the loss of various interests that made him most heartbroken.

However, there is no other way, not to mention the power and martial arts of Meng Zhao, the fierce dragon across the river, which is enough to crush him. The mere fact that he has the opponent's methods on his body makes him have to follow.

Meng Zhao waved his hands, not caring about this. He picked up a stack of peanuts placed next to the stove and started chewing them. His eyebrows were relaxed, his mind was leisurely, his behavior was calm, and he had a lazy look that did not reveal his personality at all. The grand master's strong demeanor is a bit like that of a powerful and playboy from an aristocratic family.

"Lu Hou'er, I'm very happy if you can take these things out and give them to me. What I care about is not how powerful you are, but whether you are really willing to do things for me."

Although Meng Zhao had not slept in the open since Lishou Mountain, he had suffered a lot. Even if he had to be taken care of by the gang in the next few days, it was still inconvenient. It was not until today that he came to Lu Houer's manor and unloaded everything. 's burden.

He is by no means a practicing ascetic, and will not seek out abuse on his own initiative. Therefore, he enjoys both good wine and good food. This peanut is equivalent to a pre-dinner snack.

As for what he said, they are all true.

The existence of the Pai Gang is actually no different from the forces under Xu Tingyun, Wu Chen, and Min Tao, as well as the Xuanshuang Society that is about to be gathered by Mu Yi Gan Mingfeng. They belong to Jianghu gangs and wander in the black zone. They have power and can also be used as gangs. Looking at the source of soldiers, it is quite impressive.

But that's all. It cannot reach the level of Tan Changming, and it also lacks the domineering status of Tan Cai'er's mother, the leader of the Sirius Alliance, let alone compared with Ye Huan, the current leader of the Demon Lord Palace.

As long as Meng Zhao subdues this person, he can command the entire platoon like an arm.

But if Lu Houer is double-dealing, submissive on the surface but causing trouble secretly, then even if Meng Zhao makes the roster clear and the account books clear, he will still be tripped up if he should.

Therefore, he valued Lu Houer's thoughts and attitude more than the power of the Pai Gang. (End of chapter)
