Chapter 680: The Man in the Shade
The owner of the North Underworld Building sat under the tree, slowly sipping the warm wine in the pot, while raising his head and quietly admiring the red sun that was about to set in the sky.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" After a long time, he suddenly said as if talking to himself.
After a while, a voice suddenly came from the tree: "I really can't figure out why you people like to look at the sun, the moon, and the stars." What's so nice about these things? Or are you just putting on a show? ”
"Tsk." The owner of the building smiled, but completely ignored the sarcasm and sarcasm in these words, and responded very gently: "Then you stay in the tree, aren't you watching the sunset?" Or is there something important you have to do in the tree? ”
This time, the voice from the tree did not hesitate, but after a soft sound, a book fell from above, but it landed firmly on the stone table and beside the wine jug.
"Oh, so you're reading." The smile on the face of the building owner was undiminished.
“…… Hey, you're bored like this, you know? After a brief moment of silence, the voice from the tree sounded again, only this time, the man's tone was less sarcastic and sarcastic, but a little more dissatisfied.
The owner of the building suddenly smiled, reached out and picked up the book from the table, raised his hand and threw it up.
A white, but somewhat thin palm reached out from the leaves, caught the book that had been brought up, and then disappeared again into the shade of the tree.
"Speaking of which, Star Picking Pavilion, what do you think?" The owner of the building asked suddenly.
The voice in the tree replied nonchalantly, "What do you think?" Look with your eyes. ”
The owner of the building shook his head a little helplessly, "You know what I'm asking. ”
There was a not-so-long silence, and then, the man on the tree said: "The North Underworld Tower originated in the north of the Central Plains, and the Star Picking Pavilion was hidden in the south of the Yanyu River. In terms of strength, everyone is not clear about each other. In terms of power, the two sides can divide the land and rule. If nothing goes wrong, in a year or two, it is unlikely that there will be any major disputes between the North Underworld Tower and the Star Picking Pavilion, and at best, there will be a small fight. ”
"Okay, don't make a fuss, you know I'm not asking about the situation between us and them." The owner of the building raised his hand and knocked on the table, he really didn't have a temper with the man in the tree.
"If you want to know anything, just ask it, don't play dumb riddles there. What do you know what you're asking? Do you say I'm a roundworm in your stomach? Evil or not disgusting? The voice was full of disdain, and even said with a little tsundere.
The owner of the building was stunned, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Okay, I'm really scared of you, I want to ask, what do you think of the power of the Star Picking Pavilion?" ”
"Picking the Star Pavilion, ......" There was a small sound from the tree, and after a while, a white, delicate little foot stretched out from the shade of the tree, wandering back and forth in the air.
"The Star Picking Pavilion appeared a little later than the North Underworld, but this does not mean that the Star Picking Pavilion was established later than the North Underworld. In terms of forbearance, the master of the Star Picking Pavilion should not be weaker than you, and even win half a chip; In terms of the control of your subordinates, the Pavilion Master of the Star Picking Pavilion is far superior to you. ”
"It's just ......," the voice paused, and then continued, "It's just that part of the reason why he has a strong grip on his subordinates should be that there are not as many strong people in his inner circle as yours. Therefore, if you only talk about the ability to dominate your subordinates, it is difficult to say which of you is stronger or weaker between the two of you. ”
"Let's go back to the Star Picking Pavilion, through investigation, we can know that the Star Picking Pavilion is also doing a lot now, just as the Star Picking Pavilion knows us the most, we also know more about the Star Picking Pavilion than any other force, even including Wanshilou. Therefore, whenever something happens, we can clearly find out whether there is a shadow of the Star Pavilion in it. ”
Speaking of which, the book that had been thrown down once was thrown down again.
"Open it yourself and turn to page thirteen."
The owner of the North Underworld Building stretched out his hand to catch the book, opened it according to his words, turned to the thirteenth page, and then began to browse the contents on it.
"Yo, the handwriting is good, you wrote it?" Before he could see much of the content, the owner of the building first lit up his eyes and opened his mouth to praise.
The voice in the tree did not answer the building owner's question, but said to himself: "On this page are some clues that I have summarized based on statistics. ”
"First of all, it can be concluded that the picture of this Star Pavilion is not small. It's not anything else, I think it's normal that they have other plans. But a closer look at their movements shows that their main focus is traceable, regular and logical. From the very beginning, this Xingge was created in Jiangnan Caochuang and was established in Jiaxing ......"
"Hmm...... Most of the activities are centered on Jiaxing and spread outward, right? The owner of the building nodded thoughtfully.
"Yes, and after that, for quite a long time, the Star Picking Pavilion was in the same state as the North Underworld. The good point is to look for opportunities and goals, and the ugly point is a salted fish, I don't know what to do, I turn over blindly every day, but I don't know that the salted fish is still a salted fish no matter how many times it turns. ”
This time, the building owner's face finally showed embarrassment.
As if he knew the owner of the building very well, the voice followed and said: "Don't be embarrassed, take a look for yourself, the 'salted fish state' of the Star Picking Pavilion only lasted for less than half a year, and then all activities became an invisible logic again." What about you? Since the establishment of the North Underworld, in addition to the most important policy, haven't you been conniving at those seven people to do anything wrong everywhere for the rest of the time? ”
"Well, it's not because I'm not in control, but on the other hand, I can ......"
"Confusing huh." The man in the tree didn't give face at all, "What confusion is this?" Confusing whose audio-visual? Mine? You're just wasting your time, okay. People who have the heart to pay attention to you, no matter how much you confuse, it is useless for you to confuse, and people who don't care about you if you don't want to confuse you. Take a closer look at the last sentence yourself, where does the rule direction of the Star Picking Pavilion's actions now? ”
"North ......" The building owner frowned slightly, "You mean, the Star Picking Pavilion intends to point at the Central Plains, or even at my North Tower?" ”
"Nonsense, you can see the current situation, why can't the Pavilion Master of the Star Picking Pavilion see it?"
The owner of the building bowed slightly, and the frowning brows that had just been raised also calmed down again, "Then how long do you think it will take for the two sides to fight?" ”
