At this time looks that on the road said with a smile: „Gang Lord Lu defeats the Red House expert, a war. Make me and other full fine sights.” “路帮主请入座。”白风老道的语气比之前要柔和客气许多。此时看着路上笑道:“路帮主力挫红坊高手,一番大战。让我等饱了一番眼福啊。” The Lu Sheng look congealed, knows to conceal the truth, put out a hand to stop the nearby Chen Ying that planned to open the mouth. Hints him and others first leaves, when several people were directed by the servant. 路胜眼神一凝,知晓瞒不过了,伸手止住边上正打算开口的陈鹰。示意其和其余人先离开,等到几人都被下人引走。 „Daoist Priest Bai Feng is actually well-informed.” He looks in an alcove was also emptying a seat, immediately in the heart understands, passing on responsibilities walks, haughty sits. “白风道长倒是消息灵通。”他看了眼亭子里还空着的一张座位,顿时心中明了,当仁不让的走进去,大马金刀坐下来。 „My Scarlet Whale Gang is sincere, since several arrive in person, did have the plan at heart?” His sinking sound said. “我赤鲸帮诚意十足,几位既然亲至,想必心里都有了打算吧？”他沉声道。 In the alcove except Bai Feng outside, other sits, is various parties three people. 亭子里除开白风外,其余坐着的,正是各方代表三人。 One is plump and fair-complected gentry official same Fatty, in the hand is grasping hundred folding fans, the head wears a white hat, center the hat writes big one ‚happy’ character. This person of facial color is genial, looked then makes one have intimate. 一个是白白胖胖的员外郎一样的胖子,手里握着一把百折扇,头上戴着一顶白帽子,帽子正中写着大大的一个‘乐’字。此人面色和善,一看便让人心生亲近。 The other two, wear black E respectively the crown, white eyebrows woman who such as ancient master dressed up. 另外两人,分别是一头戴黑色峨冠,如古代夫子打扮的白眉女人。 And a long hair hangs the waterfall, the face wears the beautiful eye female of green emerald mask. 以及一位长发垂瀑,面部戴着绿色翡翠面罩的美目女子。 Three people of styles are different, making one see the impression to be then profound. 三人风格迥异,让人一见便印象深刻。 „Introduced.” Daoist Bai Feng puts out a hand with a smile, first aims at that plump and fair-complected gentry official. “介绍一下。”白风道人笑着伸手,先指向那白白胖胖员外郎。 „This is Xiao Hongye, Landlord Xiao.” “这位是萧红叶,萧员外。” He aims at that E crown white eyebrows woman. 他又指向那峨冠白眉女人。 „This is Shangyang Family Shangyang Jiuli.” “这位是上阳家上阳九礼。” Finally he aims at that face to lead the beautiful eye female of emerald jade mask. 最后他又指向那面部带着翡翠玉石面罩的美目女子。 „This, is came from Xu Family, Young Lady Xu Feihong.” “这一位,是来自徐家,徐飞虹小姐。” Lu Sheng both eyes narrow the eyes, has not introduced besides that Fatty, other two females, respectively from Shangyang Family and Xu Family. 路胜双目一眯,除了那胖子没介绍外,其余两女,分别来自上阳家和徐家。 These two he is not clear, but since uses the family to be backgrounder, that surely is Aristocratic Family. And also dared this turbid water at this time the influence, the strength was surely uncommon. 这两家他都不怎么清楚,但既然都用家族为背景介绍,那必定都是世家。且在这个时候还敢趟这趟浑水的势力,必定实力不凡。 „Has seen three.” He held the holding the fist in the other hand bright sound said. “见过三位。”他抱了抱拳朗声道。 „Gang Lord Lu and a Red House Vice House Lord war, we saw, if is really uncommon. Does not know that which your family background is?” The neutral tone that Fatty Xiao Hongye smiles asked. “路帮主和红坊副坊主一战,我们都看到了,果真不凡。只是不知道你原本出身是哪家？”那胖子萧红叶笑眯眯的轻声问。 „Lu is only a military person, the family background is pure, wasn't should investigates passed/lived?” Lu Sheng selects the eyebrow say/way slightly. “路某只是一介武夫,出身都是清清白白,诸位不是都应该查过了吗？”路胜微微挑眉道。 „Gang Lord Lu is actually frank.” Xiao Hongye said with a smile, „ was only an average person, without the foundation, how possibly to rise quickly. Naturally, since Gang Lord is not willing saying that stops there. We chatted Scarlet Whale Gang ownership. “路帮主倒是直爽。”萧红叶笑道,“只是一介普通人,若是没有根底,怎么可能这么快崛起。当然,既然帮主不愿说,那就此作罢。我们还是来谈谈赤鲸帮的归属一事。 Since sat to here came, naturally clarifies the condition, everyone your sentiment I hoped ” 诸位既然都坐到这里来了,当然是摆明条件,大家你情我愿” „My Shangyang Family so long as every year 70% make an offering, and can be based in one person.” Shangyang Jiuli white eyebrows cold severe, breaks Xiao Hongye directly, light say/way. “我上阳家每年只要70%上供,且能常驻一人。”上阳九礼白眉冷厉,直接打断萧红叶,淡淡道。 „My Xu Family wants 90% to make an offering, but may assure two trade routes the absolute safeties to Central Plain. However cannot be based.” Xu Feihong light Judo. “我徐家要90%上供,但可保证通往中原的两条商路的绝对安全。不过不能常驻。”徐飞虹轻柔道。 The meaning of being based , is in Aristocratic Family sends out one person to guard in the help/gang, deals with any possible trouble. 常驻的意思,便是世家中派出一人驻守帮中,应对任何可能出现的麻烦。 Xu Family Xiao wants 20% to make an offering, but brings is actually two safe trade route to Central Plain. Benefit in fact compared with Shangyang Family must. 徐家比萧家多要20%上供,但带来的却是两条安全的通往中原的商路。这其中的利益实际上就比上阳家还要多了。 Scarlet Whale Gang that the so-called several tenths several tenths, then finger/refer to control area, the resources wealth of collection proportion. Here round number refers to giving the Aristocratic Family share. 所谓几成几成,便是指的赤鲸帮在管辖范围内,收集的资源财富等的比例。这里的成数都是指上交给世家的份额。 Lu Sheng looks finally to that Fatty Xiao Hongye. 路胜最后又看向那胖子萧红叶。 Xiao Hongye beckons with the hand again and again: „We do not dare to fight with two big Aristocratic Family, do not look that I do not visit me, the brother spoke in detail well with these two.” 萧红叶连连摆手:“我们可不敢和两大世家争锋,别看我别看我,老弟还是和这两位详谈就好。” Lu Sheng narrowed the eye, always felt that this Fatty does not stay on good terms with everyone like the surface, it is estimated that is also the person with kindly face and cruel heart type. 路胜眯了眯眼,总感觉这胖子不像表面那么一团和气,估计也是个笑面虎类型。 Shangyang Family and Xu Family, these two both representatives are the females, but Shangyang Jiuli and Xu Feihong style is completely different, the attitude was also unpredictable. 上阳家和徐家,这两人两位代表都是女子,但上阳九礼和徐飞虹的风格完全不同,态度也捉摸不定。 „Said, I to two families, but also is quite strange, does not know whether to introduce slightly?” Lu Sheng thinks, asked calmly. “说起来,我对两位家族,还比较陌生,不知道能否稍微介绍一番？”路胜想了想,平静问道。 „Thanks for the compliment, this Old Daoist actually some understanding.” Daoist Bai Feng said with a smile, „Gang Lord Lu was young and promising, does not know that can also understand.” “好说好说,这个老道倒是有些了解。”白风道人笑道,“路帮主年轻有为,不知道也可以理解。” He saw the eye two females, sees two people not to respond, without the rejection, then smiles. 他看了眼两女,见两人没反应,也没拒绝,便笑了笑。 „Shangyang Family is one of the Central Plain's Nine Families, is powerful, has the name of iron picture silver hook. Mainly related to medicinal herb, shipping, and silver village and other scopes.” “上阳家乃是中原九家之一,实力雄厚,有铁画银钩之称。主要涉及药材,航运,以及银庄等范围。” Shangyang Jiuli looked that does not visit him, both eyes about sit in meditation probably general. 上阳九礼看也不看他,双目微合像是入定一般。 Daoist Bai Feng referred to Xu Feihong. 白风道人又指了指徐飞虹。 „ However Xu Family, is the Great Glory Country royalty, is primarily the jade firm. Has the name of Jade Rune Aristocratic Family. Similarly the strength is strong. “而徐家,乃是巨荣国皇族,以玉石商行为主。有玉符世家之称。同样实力强劲。 But by the military force, which regardless of their two, is not weaker than Zhen Family. Even is stronger, when Gang Lord Lu consideration does not need to worry here. ” 而论武力,无论他们两家哪一家,都不比甄家弱。甚至更强,所以路帮主考虑时不用顾虑此处。” Lu Sheng nods. 路胜点点头。 „Many thanks Division Head Bai Feng.” His vision looks straightly to Shangyang Jiuli. “多谢白风司长。”他目光笔直看向上阳九礼。 „May I ask Young Lady Shangyang, if I choose Shangyang, how the matter of Red House does solve?” “敢问上阳小姐,若是我选择上阳,红坊之事如何解决？” The Shangyang Jiuli eye does not open the eyes, said lightly: „Red House House Lord goes out, temporarily does not need to pay attention, when she returns, I will come to visit personally.” 上阳九礼眼睛也不睁,淡淡道:“红坊坊主外出,暂时不必理会,等她归来,我会亲自上门拜访。” Lu Sheng hears the word heart one cold. 路胜闻言心头一凛。 Also looks to other aspect Xu Feihong. 又看向另一面的徐飞虹。 The Xu Feihong light looks at the eye, then knows that is a very beautiful female, her pink color long gown, sits in the alcove, as if entire body was buried in the spacious soft fine robe skirt, lotus root white delicate arms in robes partly visible. 徐飞虹光看眼睛,便知道是个很美的女子,她一身粉色长袍,坐在亭子里,仿佛整个身子都被埋在宽大柔软的精致袍裙中,莲藕般的玉臂在袍间若隐若现。 Sees Lu Sheng to look, she shows a faint smile. 看到路胜看过来,她微微一笑。 „The world peaces is precious, Red House that side, the slave may also go to mediate.” “天下以和为贵,红坊那一面,奴家也可亲身前去说和。” Lu Sheng nodded, hesitated. Said toward Shangyang Jiuli in a soft voice. 路胜点头,沉吟了一下。还是朝上阳九礼轻声道。 „It seems like this matter must trouble Young Lady Jiuli.” “看来此事还得麻烦九礼小姐。” His statement, the meaning was to then choose Shangyang Family. 他这表态,便意思是选择上阳家了。 Xu Feihong does not change color, but signals by nodding toward several other people slightly, smiled toward Lu Sheng, sets out to depart slowly outward. 徐飞虹也不变色,只是朝其余几人微微点头示意,又朝路胜微笑了下,才起身缓缓朝外离去。 Shangyang Jiuli opens eyes at this time, some surprise looks to Lu Sheng. 上阳九礼此时才睁开眼,有些诧异的看向路胜。 Her attitude said not good, even this comes out to gather Scarlet Whale Gang, is somewhat careless, the given benefit, in fact is far less than Xu Family. Even Xu Family gave back not to send people based in the condition of supervision, this interfered with the management of faction on behalf of no one. 她的态度说不上好,甚至这趟出来招揽赤鲸帮,也有些漫不经心,给出的利益,实际上远不如徐家。甚至徐家还给出了不派人常驻监督的条件,这代表没人干涉帮派的管理。 But this, Lu Sheng still chose her even. 可就算这样,路胜也还是选择了她。 She thinks own this is only strolls. 原本她都以为自己这趟只是过来逛逛而已。 „Hou humph humph humph! Congratulates two, Scarlet Whale Gang is Northern Land first great gang, Shangyang Family is also one of the Central Plain's Nine Families, is mighty, this time unifies, must be able to be better to maintain Northern Land to be stable.” Xiao Hongye exudes strange laughter, the folding fan blocks from the small mouth to say. “嚯嚯嚯嚯！恭喜两位,赤鲸帮乃是北地第一大帮,上阳家也是中原九家之一,实力非凡,此番结合,必能更好维护北地稳定。”萧红叶发出一阵诡异的笑声,折扇遮住小嘴道。 „Em, you are good.” Shangyang Jiuli applause looked at Lu Sheng. Her coming out, planned to relax, from the start has not thought completes what task, has not thought actually even white completed one time. “恩,你不错。”上阳九礼赞许的看了眼路胜。她这趟出来,本就打算散心而已,压根就没想过完成什么任务,倒是没想到平白完成了一次。 „Does not know when Young Lady Jiuli solves Red House.” The Lu Sheng not smalltalk, spoke frankly asked. He showed oneself strength, this won in the right that Aristocratic Family chooses. Otherwise according to the beforehand matter that Senior Brother Hong Mingzi there hears, Scarlet Whale Gang simply does not have the option, only then after and other Shangyang Family and Xu Family compete, decides the victory and defeat, passive acceptance master. “不知九礼小姐何时解决红坊之时。”路胜也不客套,直言问。他展现了自己实力,这才赢得了在世家之间选择的权利。否则按照师兄洪明资那里听到的以前的事,赤鲸帮根本没有选择权,只有等上阳家和徐家较劲之后,分出胜负,被动的接受东家。 „This simplicity, may tonight.” Shangyang Jiuli is vigorous and resolute, she looks pleasing to the eyes to Lu Sheng, in addition was impatient to these ordinary affairs, therefore hugs has the attitude that the matter processes as soon as possible. “这个简单,今晚就可。”上阳九礼雷厉风行,她对路胜看得顺眼,加上本就对这些俗事不耐烦,所以都抱着有事尽快处理的态度。 „Many thanks Young Lady Jiuli!” Lu Sheng sincere holds the fist in the other hand. “多谢九礼小姐！”路胜正色抱拳。 „Since several determined, in this Commandant your family place how might as well come a cocktail party?” Xiao Hongye proposed. „Just in time I and other Northern Land all policymakers here, such opportunity, but is rare.” On his fat face a happy expression. “既然几位确定了,不如就在这都尉府上来一次酒会如何？”萧红叶提议道。“正巧我等北地所有决策人都在这里,此等机会可是难得啊。”他胖脸上一片笑意。 „Has no free time.” Shangyang Jiuli without delay, the direct decline, she stands up, loses to the Lu Sheng together Shi conveniently. „This is my Shangyang Family contact token, may send out the induction by the fire ignition, in the thousand li (500 km) I can detect.” “没空。”上阳九礼二话不说,直接回绝,她站起身,随手丢给路胜一块石牌。“此乃我上阳家联络令牌,以火灼烧可发出感应,千里之内我都能察觉到。” Lu Sheng catches Shi, reads carefully. 路胜接住石牌,仔细翻看。 On trapezoidal white Shi, clear writes one not to know that is the chapter length of what writing. Looks at the writing technique to be flying of dragons and dancing of phoenixes, mature and powerful, should be everyone writes. 梯形的白色石牌上,清晰的写着一篇不知道是什么文字的章节篇幅。看笔法龙飞凤舞,苍劲有力,应该是大家所写。 „I first go to Red House!” Shangyang Jiuli turns around not to wait for several people to answer, then Qingqing/gently leaps, in an instant then vanishes outside the pavilion. “我先去红坊！”上阳九礼转身不等几人回话,便轻轻一跃,转眼便消失在亭外。 The Lu Sheng line of sight moves out of the way from Shi, then could not see the Shangyang Jiuli form. 路胜视线才从石牌上挪开,便看不到上阳九礼的身影了。 „Gang Lord Lu is really uncommon.” Shangyang Jiuli walks, Xiao Hongye then said to Lu Sheng with a smile. „Unexpectedly in anything not clear situation, made to the Scarlet Whale Gang best choice.” “路帮主果真不凡。”上阳九礼一走,萧红叶便笑着对路胜道。“居然在什么都不清楚的情况下,做出了对赤鲸帮最好的选择。” „Oh? Landlord Xiao what this word?” Lu Sheng selects the eyebrow say/way. “哦？萧员外何出此言？”路胜挑眉道。
