Chapter 20 Secret

did not let Xiang Nantian and Xiang Chen wait for a long time. Not long after Master Jin left, someone came to invite Xiang Nantian and Xiang Chen's grandson to the front hall to discuss.

The front hall of the city master's mansion is magnificent and definitely not comparable to that of several families. After all, this city lord is an official force, with strong financial, human and physical support behind it. In contrast, although several families in Lancheng have been operating for generations, they are still not good enough.

"Lord of the city!" Xiang Nantian entered the hall and hurriedly bowed deeply to a burly man sitting on it.

This burly man is dressed in a brocade robe, which is taller than ordinary people. He is strong, but his skin is white and delicate. However, there is this obvious scar on the face. This person is not angry and powerful. Without introducing Xiang Chen, he can guess that this person must be Wu Xiong, the city owner of Qinglancheng.

"You're welcome to the owner, please sit down!" Wu Xiong spoke politely.

Xiang Nantian thanked him again and sat down. Xiang Chen did not sit and stood respectfully behind Xiang Nantian. This is a courtesy, and he naturally knew very well from a family.

As soon as Xiang Nantian sat down, he heard a series of footsteps, and then several people came in from outside.

As soon as these people arrived, Xiang Nantian was immediately surprised. Originally, he thought that Wu Xiong, the owner of the city, only called Xiang's home, but he didn't expect to summon others, and these people were familiar with Xiang Nantian.

The two people walking in front of him are Jiang Chenglong, the former head of the Jiang family, and the other is Jiang Yu, the youngest son of Jiang Chenglong. The two people walking behind are Wu Nanren, the head of the Wu family in the South District, and his eldest Wu Qing.

There were originally four families in Lancheng, but now there are only three, but the remaining three were summoned by Wu Xiong, the city owner, which made Xiang Nantian and Xiang Chen feel that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Jiang Chenglong of the Jiang family saw Xiang Nantian as soon as he entered the door, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes. Obviously, he did not expect Xiang Nantian to be here. However, Wu Nan didn't seem to be surprised.

"Six people, please sit down!" Wu Xiong waved his hand when he saw that they were all here.

"Lord, I don't know what's wrong with summoning my three families today?" Xiang Nantian first asked.

At the same time, Xiang Chen is also carefully observing everyone's reaction. Jiang Chenglong's expression is similar to Xiang Nantian's expression, which seems to be a little unexpected. Wu Nan is the calmest and seems to have been expected.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly. I had something not to do in this Lancheng the other day. I didn't expect that when I came back, the family in the Lancheng would be reshuffled, so I want to summon you. Although the remaining three families have lived here for a long time, the owner of the city is still afraid of being estranged from you, so he invites you to communicate with them, and also asks the three families to do me a small favor!" Wu Xiong kept looked at everyone while talking.

"Oh? Lord, if you have anything to do, just tell me!" Xiang Nantian's heart suddenly tightened when he heard Wu Xiong ask for help from the three families.

Wu Xiong is the city owner of Lancheng, and his men have countless people. What needs these families to help? Isn't he going to take over the territory of the Shen family in the North District?

It was not only Xiang Nantian who had this idea, but Jiang Chenglong's face also showed a nervous look. Obviously, he was also afraid that the city owner would ask for the territory of the North District.

"Don't be nervous. The matter of the Shen family has passed. This is a struggle between families. Naturally, I will not intervene. As for the previous territory of the Shen family, it is naturally a victory of the struggle of the family. I will not have any objection. This time, I invite you to explore a secret place with me. It is very dangerous and I can't cope with it alone. Although the official strength of Qinglan City is also assigned to me, I don't want to use this official power. In that case, most of the things in the secret collection will be confisified, so I want to invite the three major cities of Qinglan City. How about we rely on our own ability to help the family? Wu Xiong Dao.

After Wu Xiong's words, no one from the three families talked to him. Wu Xiong's reason for not using official power is understandable. According to the regulations, nine points of what he gets after using official power must be handed over, leaving only one point. Compared with it, cooperation with the three major families in Qinglan City seems to have more benefits. But is this really the case? Xiang Nantian was not sure, Xiang Chen was not sure, and the Jiang family and the Wu family were also not sure.

"I will give you time to think about it. If you have a decision in three days, you can come to my city lord's mansion. This action is indeed dangerous, but I can assure you that the benefits are very great. As long as you are willing to contribute, the prosperity of the family is definitely within reach!" Wu Xiong said patiently.

"Lord, I need to discuss this matter with my family!" Xiang Chen, who had been listening, suddenly felt that everyone present's expression was not right, and even his grandfather Xiang Nantian's face seemed to have a trace of madness.

Wu Xiong spoke well, but he used the art of demagogy at this time. Xiang Chen did not want to be affected by this, so he hurriedly said something. Wu Xiong's demagogy was immediately interrupted by his words.

"Lord, this matter is indeed very much related to our three families, and our Jiang family also needs to discuss it!" Jiang Chenglong frowned, and he also realized that his mind had been affected just now.

"Ah, okay, that's all for today. If the three families have a decision within three days, they can come to the city lord's mansion to find me at any time!" Being interrupted by Xiang Chen, Wu Xiong, the owner of Qinglan City, felt a little surprised. He stared at Xiang Chen a few times, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face. However, after all, he is a stormy person, and his response is still quite fast. He just returned to normal in a trance.

"Lord, if there is nothing else, then I will say goodbye to my family and reply to the Lord after the agreement!" Xiang Nantian's face was a little ugly. He was originally a tower-building cultivation, and he was also high among these people, but he did not expect that he still had Wu Xiong's way, which made him very unhappy. However, after all, the other party was the city owner. According to the current strength of the Xiang family, he could not afford to offend him.

"Wend off!" Wu Xiong didn't have any embarrassed expression on his face, but still smiled and sent his voice to Nantian and heroes.

"Lord, my Jiang family has also said goodbye and went back to discuss this matter with my family!" Jiang Chenglong saw Xiang Nantian and Xiang Chen getting up to leave and also stood up to say goodbye.

"Please!" Wu Xiong did not stop him.

"Master Wu, do you want to discuss this with the Hui people?" After leaving Xiang's home and Jiang's family, Wu Xiong's eyes fell on Wu Nan, who was still sitting in the hall.

"I am the head of the Wu family. There is no need to discuss it. The Wu family is willing to serve the work of this exploration of the secret!" Wu Nan patted his chest and said.

"Okay, very good, Master Wu really knows the current affairs!" The smile on Wu Xiong's face became stronger, so that the scars on his face began to twist.

......

"Dad, you said that Wu Xiong invited our three families to explore Tibet together. Why do I think this is always a little strange!" In the hall of Qinglan City's home, Xiang Hero frowned. He had heard Nantian tell him what had happened, and he always felt that there were some problems in it.

"Dad, this matter is very strange. Grandpa only told the story of the matter, and there is another episode. We, Wu Chengzhu, actually used the art of demagogy in the process of talking to us!" Xiang Chen added a sentence.

"Demagogue, what on earth does he want to do?" After hearing the three words of demagogy to the hero, his expression changed greatly. He knows the magic. It is a very evil skill that can affect people's minds, but in general, few people will use it, because the requirements for practicing this thing are very demanding. Xiang Hero did not expect that Wu Xiong, the city owner of Qinglan City, would understand this strange skill.

"If I guess correctly, he wants to control our three families. I don't know why he did this, but I always feel that it has something to do with the Shen family. I don't know if Wu Xiong has anything to do with the Shen family?" Xiang Chen thought for a while and asked.

"I don't think so. I have lived in this Qinglan City for decades, and I haven't heard anything about Wu Xiong's relationship with the Shen family. If there is a connection, there will be no news at all!" To the south.

"Then I don't know what Wu Xiong is thinking!" Xiang Chen couldn't find a clue for a moment.

"Dad, in my opinion, no matter what Wu Xiong's intentions are, there is no good for us. Why don't we just refuse it directly?" I always feel uneasy about the hero.

"I also want to refuse, but after all, Wu Xiong is the city owner. We can't afford to offend him now, so I think I will go home on behalf of him this time. I'm old. Even if something really happens, I don't care!" He sighed slightly to the hero.

"Grandpa, you can't go alone. I'll go with you!" Xiang Chen seemed to think of something and said hurriedly.

"Don't mess around. Do you know how dangerous this action is? Not to mention the so-called secret collection, that is, Wu Xiong is not easy to get along with. You are our hope for the future of our family, and you can never take risks!" To the south.

"Grandpa, you are wrong. It is because I am hope for the future of my family that I must take this risk!" Xiang Chen looked firm and seemed to have made up his mind to explore the secret.

"What do you mean?" Xiangnantian He Xiang's heroes all made a straight face.

"What I mean is very simple. Since I live in Xiang's family, I will definitely take over the Xiang family in the future. So I must have enough experience to lead my family on a stronger road. The flowers in the greenhouse can't stand the wind and rain. I think you must know this truth, so even for the future of my family, I can't miss this secret experience!" Xiang Chendao.

"You are completely unreasonable. What if you have something good or bad in the experience?" Xiang Nantian's beard.

"Grandpa, I know you'm nervous, but you should also understand that if I die now, I will die alone, but if the family is handed over to me in the future, I don't have enough experience to destroy the family, and it will be all the people in the Xiang family involved!" Xiang Chen did not give in at all.

"You..." Xiang Nantian clearly knew that Xiang Chen was wrong, but there was no words to refute.

"Dad, in fact, I think what Xiang Chen said makes sense!" A word suddenly appeared to the hero.

"What's the reason, your son, why are you so confused? What he said is all wrong..." Xiang Hero's words poured a bowl of cold water into the hot oil pan, and Xiang Nantian immediately broke out.
