Chapter 17: Inn Storm

As soon as Xie Lanting arrived, she inevitably focused on everyone's eyes, like a piece of natural and extremely attractive jade, exuding a seductive luster. Especially the two brothers Gu Hao and Gu Quan, whose eyes were even straight and huge, undisguisedly released a glow of lust, looking like a hungry ghost in an extremely coveting color.

Except for Jiang Shengtian, the rest of them glanced at the Gu brothers with disdain. Hu Jiuwei, in particular, was so angry that he almost rushed to blind the eyes of the Gu brothers in case their eyes were so restlessly scanned up and down on Xie Lanting.

"If you guess correctly, this should be the owner of Xianlai Inn, right?" The evil breath on Gu Quan's face was even stronger, like an old wolf rubbing his palm and was about to open an operation on his prey.

Xie Lanting said politely, "If you have any instructions, please feel free to say that our specialty dish is..."

But before he finished speaking, Gu Hao interrupted her with a high-five smile and said, "I heard that the owner's wife of the Xianlai Inn is beautiful. It's true today!"

Xie Lanting lowered half of her face shyly and said with a smile, "I'm flattered! I'm going to arrange some specialty dishes for you!"

Just as Xie Lanting left, the Gu brothers' eyes had chased her shadow fiercely, and the evil smile did not stop.

Wait for Xie Landing to go downstairs, Hu Jiuwei didn't come to Chen Rufeng's ear and mutter a few words in a low voice. Chen Rufeng looked at the Gu brothers's face and immediately became ugly, as if he was a little contemptuous.

Jiang Shengtian smiled softly and said to the Gu brothers, "You two, there are some idle people waiting here. I don't know if it will cause trouble to our negotiation. How about changing to another place?" While saying this, his eyes flowed to Chen Rufeng's side intentionally or unintentionally. Hu Jiuwei and Ling Xiaoyu were stunned, and only Chen Rufeng looked at him coldly.

Gu Hao waved his hand and said, "No need! The scenery here is excellent. Our two brothers are reluctant to go to this place. What's more, we are not talking about committing adultery. How can we be afraid of having ears across the wall?

"It's very true!" The "scenery" had to be naturally understood by everyone. The Gu brothers and Jiang Shengtian laughed, and the laughter made people goose bumps all over. Chen Rufeng stared at Jiang Shengtian's flattering face, and his hands were clenched into fists on his legs under the table.

"So," Jiang Shengtian's face turned serious, "I don't know what you two think of the cooperation plan I mentioned before?"

Gu Hao and Gu Quan also put away their extremely obscene smiles and turned into the kind of old and cunning style unique to businessmen. Gu Quan's eyes shot at Jiang Shengtian and said slowly, "Mr. Jiang, to be honest, cooperation with you is beneficial and harmless to you, but on the contrary, it is detrimental to our interests to share those businesses with your prime minister for no reason. I really can't think of any reason to cooperate with you.

The Gu brothers have put on a high posture to Jiang Shengtian. Obviously, they all know that Li Linfu sent Jiang Shengtian to negotiate with them this time in order to share a piece of the pie with them. A big cake is obviously dominated by yourself, how can you allow others to come and occupy a share for no reason? However, Li Linfu has always been the prime minister of the dynasty. In any case, he has to give face and can't refuse at once.

Of course, Jiang Shengtian understands this. It is really difficult to grab other people's territory openly and use a reasonable reason. After a moment of thinking, he smiled and said, "Both of you know the strength of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I believe that with the support of the Prime Minister, your business will certainly be more prosperous and secure. At that time, I'm afraid that the income will be more than two times as much as it is now. This five-five-minute account is definitely reasonably calculated, and there is no loss.

Jiang Shengtian said the key points at once. If it was a nine-minute account, the Gu brothers would definitely agree without hesitation. That's just a penny, just think of it as a charity to the doorkeeper's vicious dog! But Jiang Shengtian's proposal turned out to be a five-fifty ledger, which would take away half of their income at once, which was too bullying.

"Two people are also smart people, can't they even count this number?" Jiang Shengtian's smile was even more, with a faint smile.

The Gu brothers looked tight and thought that if they could really triple their income, even if they still make money after five or five cents, who can guarantee that this can really increase the income to more than three times as before? The risk in this is also something they have to consider. There is a mistake, and it is likely that they will lose their wives and soldiers. They think they are not as strong as the prime minister. Although they usually like to gamble, they absolutely can't afford to gamble.

After thinking about it again and again, Gu Hao still shook his head cautiously and said, "Well, we are just a small industry. How can we be so valued by the Prime Minister? Mr. Jiang, please go back and tell the Prime Minister that we can't afford to climb the Prime Minister's mansion. I hope the Prime Minister can find a more suitable person to cooperate with him!"

When Jiang Shengtian heard this, it was obviously the tone of sending guests, and the smile on his face suddenly turned into nothing and became dark. However, he knew that the Gu brothers were by no means easy to provoke, so he had to squeeze out an awkward smile and said, "Since you two have made up your mind, I can't say more. What you said, I will report it to the Prime Minister truthfully.

The atmosphere in the field immediately became unhappy. At this moment, Xie Landing came up with a side dish in person, smiling and touching.

They served dishes for Jiang Shengtian one after another. Gu Hao and Gu Quan looked at her every move, which was so gentle, generous and decent, as if they were drunk, especially the rouge fragrance on her body, which was more like the fragrance in the flowers.

Gu Hao and Gu Quan smiled again. Gu Hao couldn't help but reach out his hand to hug Xie Lanting's slender waist, hugged her over, and let her sit on his lap. The soft and fragrant feeling made him extremely comfortable. But Xie Landing couldn't react. The plate in her hand fell to the ground. She didn't know that Gu Hao suddenly did this. For a moment, she lost her mind and was about to break free, but Gu Hao's powerful hand around her waist could not allow her to resist.

In an instant, Hu Jiuwei, sitting next to Chen Rufeng, stepped out, grabbed Gu Hao's arm, and grabbed Xie Landing from his bondage with the other hand. His eyes were shining fiercely, like an angered tiger, exuding domineering all over his body and staring at Gu Hao, as if he dared to do it again. If there is any recklessness, you will tear him to pieces.

Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian were stunned by Hu Jiuwei's move. They had never seen Hu Jiujiu have such an extreme reaction. Xie Lanting leaned aggrievedly on Hu Jiuwei's arm and looked at Gu Hao with shrinking.

When Gu Hao saw that the beauty who had been robbed in his arms was taken away, he was naturally full of unwillingness and rushed to the top of his head. He stood up and was about to prepare a threatening expression. Gu Quan also stood up with his brother, with a sudden momentum. Hu Jiuwei obviously did not pay attention to the two brothers. The two were about to teach him a good lesson, otherwise where would the old faces of their Gu brothers go? No one has ever dared to take away the woman who has been in their arms. Did this person eat leopard courage from somewhere and dare to move the earth on Tai Sui's head?

Chen Rufeng and Ling Xiaoyu also stood up with stress. Naturally, they could not see Gu Hao's excessive work just now. Their eyes were cold and they stared at the Gu brothers unwillingly. Xie Wencheng was so scared that he was at a loss and looked at the two sides of the confrontation tremblingly. Among them, the tense momentum seemed to explode at any time and annihilate everything.

"Brother Gu, please take care of yourself." Chen Rufeng said icely, implying a warning. Seeing that the two were about to attack Hu Jiuwei to dispel their hatred, Chen Rufeng's eyes were telling them that if you wanted to take action, I would definitely not stand by.

Gu Hao and Gu Quan secretly exchanged glances, and their minds turned quickly. After all, the other party is the Tianfeng Gang, one of the four gangs that are now standing in the world. Although they are prominent and powerful in the Chang'an family, it is not beneficial for them to hand over with the tough force in the world. Since then, the two of them quickly restrained the sharp momentum, but both faces sank at the same time, like two unhappy stones.

Hu Jiuwei still stared at them fiercely, holding Xie Lanting's shoulder tightly in one hand, becoming a form of protection, as if to protect a treasure that could not be invaded by others. Xie Lanting secretly raised his head to look at Hu Jiuwei, and there was an inexplicable warm current rising in his heart. It was as if there was a mountain torrent rushing in front of her, but a big mountain rose up to block all threats for her.

The two sides were in a confrontation. Chen Rufeng quickly swept his eyes over Jiang Shengtian, who was stable in the seat. He was taking a leisurely sip of tea. Just now, the surprise of seeing Hu Jiu's unexcited reaction has been swept away, replaced by a faint smile and leisure.

A strange feeling seemed to pull the two into a very long distance in different directions again. Although it is only less than 20 feet apart now, there is still a wide river between them, which makes them look across the river and not see the other party they used to be familiar with clearly.

"Apologize to Mrs. Xie!" Hu Jiuwei almost roared and said it, which made people's eardrums pierce.

Chen Rufeng's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he touched the eyes of the Gu brothers, as if he had put the knife directly on their necks.

"Okay, we are rude today." After weighing the importance, Gu Hao and Gu Quan were finally willing to nod. Their expressions seemed to force them to take poison, which was extremely ugly.

Gu Hao hugged Xie Lanting reluctantly and said, "Boss, please forgive me for my aggressiveness. Please forgive me!"

Xie Lanting looked at him with lingering fear, knowing that the Gu brothers were calling for wind and rain in Chang'an City. He could not offend him. He couldn't investigate anything, so he had to nod timidly and accept his apology.

"Let's go!" Gu Hao snorted, shook his face, and ran downstairs with Gu Quan. He didn't want to stay here for a moment. Jiang Shengtian put down the teacup, smiled deeply, stood up and shook his sleeves, and was about to follow the two behind him.

"Wait..." Chen Rufeng stopped Jiang Shengtian. Jiang Shengtian turned his face, kept a smile, and nodded slightly with respect.

"Master Chen, I don't know what's important?"

As soon as he said this, Chen Rufeng felt that his chest was punched heavily.

That face is still a familiar face, but the expression on it has long become as shrewd and cunning as a fox as time goes by.

This is the face of a play, which perfectly covers his heart and does not allow anyone to peep. Even the closest brother can't see through his long-refined face.

"I have something about Tianfeng Gang, and I want to discuss it with you. It's about the relocation, and I hope to ask for your opinion. Chen Rufeng said in one breath, and his heart was getting heavier and heavier.

After hearing this, Jiang Shengtian smiled more, his eyebrows moved gently, and his eyes flashed with unpredictable light.

"I'm very sorry," Jiang Shengtian turned away and didn't bother to look at Chen Rufeng. "I'm not the master of Tianfeng Gang for a long time, let alone give any advice. Everything is decided by you, the wise and magical master.

Hu Jiuwei next to him looked at Chen Rufeng in astonishment.

It sounds like this, as Chen Rufeng said, Jiang Shengtian just has something to do before leaving Tianfeng Gang.

Jiang Shengtian smiled meaningfully and went down the stairs.
