Chapter 1229 Crisis Situation
"Hahaha... Okay!The head of the Xia family, please!" Qin Hongyu heard this, and immediately stood up from his chair and laughed a few times. At the same time, his right hand stretched out in front of the door. The meaning represented in Xia Dingtian's words has already indicated the attitude of the Xia family. This made Qin Hongyu happy in his heart.
"The city lord is polite!" Xia Dingtian obviously noticed the sincerity in Qin Hongyu's words, and said heartily.
"Old decay Xu Maoxiong, I've seen the city lord!"
"Old decay Wang Luo, I've seen the city lord!"
In the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Xu Maoxiong, the head of the Xu family, and Wang Luo, the head of the Wang family, hurriedly bowed and said after seeing Qin Hongyu who came out to greet him. The two were accompanied by Xu Maoxiong's son Xu Yuansheng and Wang Luo's son Wang Tai.
"The two family masters don't have to be polite, let's talk about it in the city lord's mansion!" Qin Hongyu also bowed his hand and said with a smile.
"Old man Xia came quite early!" Xu Maoxiong looked at Xia Dingtian and Xiahou Yu who were standing beside Qin Hongyu, raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile.
"It's just a step early. I thought Old Man Xu was getting older, and his eyes were spent!" Xia Dingtian said lightly and quietly.
"Old fellow, what are you talking about!" Xu Yuansheng frowned, anger flashed in his eyes, and he stepped forward and shouted angrily.
"Xu Yuansheng, what kind of thing are you, you dare to be so rude to my father!" Xia Houyu's eyes burst with cold light, and a strong momentum erupted from above his body, staring coldly at Xu Yuansheng and shouting angrily.
"Hmph! Xiahou Yu don't think that you used to be a genius in Red Leaf City, I will be afraid of you! If you think so, then you are very wrong!" Xu Yuansheng did not give in, and also took a step forward, looking at Xiahou Yu with angry eyes and said coldly. In his mind, it must be that the Xia family has been unable to withstand the blows and suppression of the Xu and Wang families, so he asked the City Lord's Mansion to come forward to be a peacemaker, and wanted the Xu and Wang families to let the Xia family go!
"Hou Yu, don't be presumptuous! This is the City Lord's Mansion! Stand down!" Xia Dingtian's face did not show any trace of displeasure, as if he had never heard Xu Yuansheng's disrespect for him.
"Father!" Xiahou Yu glared at Xu Yuansheng fiercely, then snorted angrily and retreated.
"The head of the Xu family, the head of the Xia family, like you, were all invited by Qin! I also hope that the head of the Xu family can give Qin a face!" Qin Hongyu frowned, and his face became a little ugly. Looking at Xu Maoxiong's eyes, he said lightly.
After listening to Qin Hongyu's words, Xu Maoxiong and Wang Luo glanced at each other without traces, and both of them saw a trace of surprise and doubt in each other's eyes, guessing the meaning of Qin Hongyu's words just now!
"Yuan Sheng, how can you talk to the Xia family master!Don't you tell the Qin City Lord soon!" Xu Maoxiong scolded and said to Xu Yuansheng.
"Just now, Yuan Sheng was straightforward, and I asked the City Lord Qin for forgiveness!" Xu Yuansheng hurriedly said to Qin Hongyu after listening to his father Xu Maoxiong's lesson.
"Huh...... , the city lord doesn't think anything!, however, as long as the Xia family master doesn't take this matter to heart!" Qin Hongyu said lightly. In his heart, he secretly scolded Xu Maoxiong and Xu Yuansheng, father and son! He knew what Xu Maoxiong and Xu Yuansheng meant, and although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, now was not the time to tear his face. Therefore, Qin Hongyu said slowly with a non-smiling face, and he couldn't see what Qin Hongyu was thinking at all!
"Hehe, let's not mention this matter for the time being, but the city lord invited him, there must be something important to say! Now that the head of the Xu family and the head of the Wang family have arrived. Therefore, I think the city lord should first say that it is important to get down to business!" Xia Dingtian waved his hand, his eyes narrowed into a line, and a trace of cold light flashed from his squinted eyes, but finally he shook his head with a smile and said.
"What the Xia family master said is very true, the Xu family master, the Wang family master, please!" Qin Hongyu nodded at Xia Dingtian, and then turned around and walked directly towards the mansion.
"Hmph, father, let's go too!" Xiahou Yu glanced at Xu Yuansheng coldly, and after snorting coldly, he said to Xia Dingtian.
Xia Dingtian nodded, ignored Xu Maoxiong and Wang Luo, and turned around and walked towards the mansion.
"Father, isn't the purpose of the city lord summoning us here ......" Xu Yuansheng looked at Xu Maoxiong with some confusion and said.
"Don't act rashly first, let's see what the city lord says!" Before Xu Yuansheng finished speaking, Xu Maoxiong waved his hand to stop Xu Yuansheng, then glanced at Wang Luo and said, "Brother Wang, I heard that your junior Wang Yu is coming back, is this true?"
"Haha... , Brother Xu's news is still so well-informed!Yes, Yu'er has news, and he should be rushing to Red Leaf City in the next few days!" Wang Luo was shocked in his heart, he wanted to know the news of Yu'er's return, and he also got it last night. Except for him and Wang Tai who knew about this matter, no third party knew about it! How did Xu Maoxiong know about it! How could this not shock Wang Luo's heart! However, although Wang Luo was shocked in his heart, he did not show the slightest abnormality on the surface, and nodded seemingly casually.
"Hmph!" Xu Maoxiong snorted coldly and ignored Wang Luo.
"Father, how did the Xu family know that Yu'er was coming back!" Looking at the backs of Xu Maoxiong and Xu Yuansheng, Wang Tai showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and said in disbelief. You must know that their Wang family only got the news yesterday, and the people who got this news only knew about a few core members of the Wang family! Could it be ...... Thinking of this, Wang Tai felt a chill in his heart, if it was really as he thought, in front of the Xu family, what secrets did the Wang family have!
"This matter must be investigated, but not now! After Yu'er comes back, it's not too late to talk about this matter!" Wang Luo's eyes burst into cold eyes, and he said coldly.
"Father, Yu'er mentioned in the letter that he was accompanied by the seniors of the Ghost King Sect!Is this true!" Wang Tai glanced around cautiously, and then asked Wang Luo in a low voice.
"Yes! Yu'er's return is very important to our Wang family! After Yu'er's return, there will be no more Xia and Xu families in Red Leaf City!" Wang Luo said coldly. In the end, Wang Luo also walked directly towards the mansion.
"Since the three family masters have already arrived, the city lord doesn't talk nonsense. Now tell the three family heads the reason for summoning the three family heads!" Qin Hongyu looked at the patriarchs of the three major families, and then said with a solemn face.
"You may all know about the Imperial Capital Dabi some time ago! Before the Imperial Capital Dabi, there was a major incident in the Great Qin Empire! This incident must have been heard of by the three family masters, that is, the five hidden families of the Great Qin Empire were wiped out overnight! This incident caused a huge sensation in the Great Qin Empire, and the real cause has not yet been ascertained! And after the Imperial Capital Dabi, a tragic incident happened again in a small town five hundred miles away from the imperial capital. Thousands of people in the town, regardless of the old, weak, women and children, were brutally killed overnight, and their deaths were extremely terrifying! The imperial capital has sent an imperial decree, and all cities need to step up their defenses in case of accidents!"
After a slight pause, after the three family masters digested their news, Qin Hongyu continued: "The three are the noble families of Red Leaf City, and they also know the special geographical environment in which Red Leaf City is located! Therefore, for the safety of Red Leaf City, the city lord specially invited the three family masters to seek countermeasures!" After Qin Hongyu finished speaking, his eyes swept solemnly over the heads of the three major families.
"The city lord invited the three major families to gather, I think the city lord should already have a countermeasure, as a member of Red Leaf City, the old man should do his part!" Xia Dingtian thought for a moment, and saw that Xu Maoxiong and Wang Luo did not have the posture of speaking, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and then he stood up and said to Qin Hongyu.
"The Xia family master really understands the righteousness! Qin Mou has thanked the Xia family master on behalf of the entire Red Leaf City here!" Qin Hongyu said to Xia Dingtian with a happy expression on his face.
"Don't dare! Don't dare! Red Leaf City is the foothold of the old decay, no matter who wants to get involved in the red leaf city, the old decay will do his best!" Xia Dingtian said impassionedly.
"The head of the Xia family sits down for a while, I don't know what the head of the Xu family and the head of the Wang family mean?" After Qin Hongyu waved his hand to signal Xia Dingtian, he then turned his attention to Xu Maoxiong, the head of the Xu family, and Wang Luo, the head of the Wang family. Although the Xia family seems to be on the same front as himself, in Red Leaf City, because of the alliance between the Xu and Wang families, the Xia family's power has greatly shrunk in the past two years. It has become the last of the three major families. Especially recently, the Xu and Wang families have a tendency to exterminate the Xia family. Originally, Qin Hongyu was still thinking about what method to use to solve the grievances of the three major families. After all, the Xu and Wang families didn't know the power of the Xia family, but he knew that there was still the existence of Lie Yuanzong behind the Xia family. Lieyuan Sect is one of the top ten sects of the Great Qin Empire, and its strength is comparable to that of the small Xu family and the Wang family!
Now is the right time to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate some of the grievances of the three major families as much as possible. Otherwise, if the Xu and Wang families really do something to the Xia family, although the Xia family will suffer a great loss, it will be the Xu and Wang families who will disappear in Red Leaf City in the end, in order to maintain the stability of Red Leaf City, Qin Hongyu will definitely not let this kind of thing happen.
"Lord City Lord, just as the Lord of the Xia Family said, since Lord City Lord has summoned us here, presumably City Lord Qin already has a solution. So, the city lord, let's talk about your thoughts first!" Wang Luo, who had been silent, said with a smile.
"Okay, since the three heads of the family have said it. The city lord is no longer hiding!" Qin Hongyu's eyes flashed, and then he continued: "Although the garrison of Red Leaf City is sufficient, if you want to spread the entire Red Leaf City, it will be overstretched. Therefore, this city lord hopes that the three major families will temporarily give up their personal grievances and cooperate sincerely during this special time! After the Great Qin Empire finds out the truth of these two things, how about the three major families settle their own grievances!"
