Chapter 484 Negotiation
What Cang Shuyun said was also what these innate masters of the worship hall thought in their minds. The superiors had their orders and subordinates had their own opinions. Meng Jizu wanted to capture the seven monsters of Minshan, but they would not hold back, but if Meng Jizu agreed to Meng Zhao's idea, they would naturally not violate it.
As for the moment, they certainly don’t want to offend Meng Zhao, but if Meng Wen forced them to take action, they would definitely not be good at visiting Xiyuan this time.
Meng Zhao frowned and looked at Cang Shuyun. He was naturally dissatisfied with this answer, but he could not demand anything. In essence, they all obeyed the previous order of pursuit issued by Meng Jizu, and Meng Wen was just following the situation.
Therefore, the matter will eventually fall on Meng Wenshan and temporarily calm him down. When Meng Jizu comes back, it will be almost done.
"Second brother, I wonder if I can speak with one step?"
Meng Zhao was about to be withdrawn from the Meng Mansion and was unwilling to make a fuss with the Meng family. Even if it was Meng Wen, he still treated others with the idea of solving the problem.
Seeing that his tone was relaxed and even whispered in a low voice, Meng Wen felt extremely happy and wanted to refuse directly, but then he thought that there were elders pressing them over, and it was too ugly, and he might not be able to ask for it. It would be better to listen to what this guy wanted to say. If he couldn't say the point, the seven monsters in Minshan would still have to be caught.
"Well, for the sake of brotherhood, I'll hear what you want to say!"
When Lu Zhong was asked to entertain the masters of the worship hall, Zhou Hu and Taoist Picking Flowers found a seat to sit down, Meng Zhao took Meng Wen into a side room east of the main hall.
He warmed the brazier, closed the door, and poured Meng Wen a cup of warm water. Meng Zhaocai said,
"Second brother, tell me about your conditions. How can I release the seven monsters in Minshan? "
Meng Wen was not angry but happy about Meng Zhao's unconcealed outlook. He laughed three times and shook his head.
"Meng Zhao, Meng Zhao, you are really a hypocritical person. In front of outsiders, you pretend to be in love with each other. Now there are only two of us in the house, so you have become cruel and ruthless, with only profit transactions. It seems that not only me, but also my father and third uncle have been deceived by you."
Meng Zhao sat opposite Meng Wen, raised his hand and swallowed a cup of warm water from the table into his belly. A warm current spread throughout his body. A seemingly sincere smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Lie? Second brother, how can you explain this? It seems that since I returned to the family, I have always treated others with sincerity. I am filial to my uncle, third uncle, respectful to my two brothers, and loving my younger brothers and sisters. I have never done anything out of the ordinary, why did the second brother use the word "liarity" to describe my younger brother?
This is just between you and me. If the uncle knows, the second brother will inevitably be taught a lesson."
"Treat people with sincerity? Shameless.
Do you still remember that when you first returned to the Meng family, I treated you sincerely and I secretly took action to help you resolve many hidden dangers in the second bedroom. What did you do to repay me?"
The thing that Meng Wen was always angry was that Meng Zhao should have been dependent on him, but instead stepped on his head, shining brightly, becoming a great man who praised everyone in the outside world and has a great future.
This sense of contrast is enough to make a rational person lose his mind and a gentle person lose his calmness.
What's more, Meng Wenben was hit by the incident of Shi Siming and was narrow-minded. He even thought that Meng Zhao's various behaviors were betrayal. This kind of pain and shame once gnawed his heart like a poisonous snake, tortured him day and night.
Meng Zhao was silent for a moment, shook his head and said helplessly,
"I think I probably understand what my second brother misunderstood me.
I guess it was because my second brother had been defeated by Shi Siming, and I defeated Shi Siming and became famous. So my second brother thought, I was stepping on your shoulders, right?”
When Meng Zhao heard Meng Zhao say this with his own ear, Meng Wen's breathing suddenly became rapid, his eyes turned red, and a fiery and domineering heat emitted from the inside out, which was the Red Flag Order that Meng Zhao was extremely familiar with.
Judging from his performance, if he hadn't had only a little bit of rationality, he would have taken action against Meng Zhao a long time ago.
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not, my second brother still remembers that you couldn't afford to be seriously injured and lying on the bed. My fifth brother and I came to visit you? At that time, I felt extremely angry. I wanted to teach Shi Siming a lesson and avenge my second brother, so how could I think about those many conspiracies?
Besides, when my younger brother had not achieved martial arts, his cultivation level was not as good as my second brother, so how could he have the intention and courage to take that huge risk and do thankless things?"
Speaking of this, Meng Wen has to admit that there is something happening, and what the other party said is not without reason.
"And, with my second brother's eyes and ears, I should have found out that the battle that day was actually Shi Siming's provocation, and others were helping him. It was obviously a killer move against me, but I didn't expect that my brother's good fortune would have a heavenly appearance and narrowly won one move.
I thought that after this, my second brother would be grateful to me, but I didn’t expect that it was because of this that you and my brother had a grudge and even got tired of each other for a while?”
Meng Zhao's words and behaviors are also extremely tempting. Although he was scheming, he made himself into a pure and flawless white lotus in his defense, which made people sigh that he was thick-faced and dark-hearted.
Does Meng Wen know these "facts" that Meng Zhao said? Of course he knows it.
But, so what?
The beginning is not important, the process is not important, the important thing is the result, and the result is that Meng Zhao took office. As the background board, he became a topic of conversation for people from all walks of life in the county and the city after dinner.
All the injustice comes from this only, and it doesn’t matter whether Meng Zhao is wronged.
If Meng Zhao was defeated in the battle that day, perhaps Meng Wen would like and appreciate Meng Zhao even more.
"Enough, I am not listening to you today to reminisce about the past. The past has passed, and the relationship between you and me will never be restored to the same as before. Therefore, these unnecessary words need not be mentioned again.
Today, I just want to capture the seven monsters in Minshan. As for you want to take these seven people as your subordinates, you can, wait until you get my father's consent!"
Meng Wen looked at Meng Zhao who was frowning, and his heart became happier and could not hide his smile. At this moment, he waited for a long time.
When Meng Zhao played the emotional card, he really didn't expect that from this, he could see that the other party could bend and stretch, but he tried his best to cause trouble to Meng Zhao, so he naturally would not spit easily.
Meng Zhao was stunned, then smiled and glanced at Meng Wen without a trace. He took off a string of jade Buddhist beads from his wrist and slowly moved it. When the Buddhist beads collided, it made a clattering sound, and its purple eyes were shining, as if a deep pool was elusive.
He looks very young and handsome, but he gives people a great sense of oppression.
Meng Wen's heart tightened, as if he was being targeted by an extremely powerful beast. The hair on his arms stood up, but his face remained calm.
He didn't believe it. Meng Zhao dared to touch him here, but he didn't want to live a good life.
