C862 He Wanted the Zhou Family
Zhang Xiaoloong looked at him and understood. He thought for a while and said, "Speaking of which, I really have something to do to get rid of the old man."
Old Master Luo was shocked and quickly asked, "Master Zhang, if you have any requests, just tell me. The Luo Family will help you even if it costs everything."
Ever since Zhang Xiaoloong agreed to treat his illness, he had never mentioned his conditions to the Luo Family.
Old Master Luo had lived his whole life. He was a shrewd old man. He knew that the reason why the other party agreed to help him was because of his own request. However, Zhang Xiaoloong didn't say anything about it, which made him worried.
If Zhang Xiaoloong really had no desires, then he would be very worried. As the saying went, when there was no desire, there was only firmness. If a person had no interest in hobbies and desires, it would become hard to control.
He hoped that Zhang Xiaoloong could always serve him, so he was looking forward to Zhang Xiaoloong mentioning his conditions every day.
No one knew better than him that power and money were like poison. Once they were touched, they would not be able to stop it. At that time, Zhang Xiaoloong would be like a turtle in his jar.
However, he didn't know that since the day Zhang Xiaoloong decided to come to Dongning Province, things had been developing in a different direction than he had imagined. Unfortunately, he hadn't discovered it until now.
Zhang Xiaoloong and Old Master Luo sat down on the stone bench next to them. Zhang Xiaoloong smiled and said, "Old man, you might not know this. Tengloong University is a university that I founded. One of the students is a disciple of East Peace Wang Family. Recently, I have been having a lot of conflicts with Zhou Family. I'm afraid it will affect them. "
Old Master Luo's face revealed a hint of surprise. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "Regarding this matter, I have some friendly relations with Elder Zhou. How about this? I will ask Old Master Zhou out and you guys can have a talk with him. What do you think?"
Zhang Xiaoloong smiled and shook his head. "Old man, that student of mine beat up the young master of Zhou Family. I think you already know about the banquet. Do you think there is still room for negotiation between Zhou Family and me?"
In fact, Old Master Luo must have known about this long ago. Pretending to be surprised was just a show. Otherwise, if he knew about this, he should have taken the initiative to suggest a resolution instead of waiting for Zhang Xiaoloong's request.
Smiling, Old Master Luo nodded and said, "That's right. Jianguo told me about what happened that day. I originally thought that you had your own arrangements, Master Zhang. That's why I didn't dare to make a decision on my own. However, since you have said so, how could I not agree? "
After a pause, Old Master Luo continued, "If Master Zhang's request is only to reconcile, I think it's better to come out and make an appointment personally. I know Old Zhou very well. He is a petty person, but he still treasures that useless grandson. If you don't tell him face to face, I think he will agree to it on the surface, but he will definitely have a grudge against you. "
Old Master Luo had sincerely planned for Zhang Xiaoloong this time. Otherwise, he could have taken care of this matter, and Zhang Xiaoloong would still owe him.
Initially, he thought that Zhang Xiaoloong would agree to his suggestion, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiaoloong to shake his head and look at him calmly. He said, "Old man, what I want now is not the peace of Zhou Family, I want Zhou Family!"
His voice was flat, but it contained boundless dominance. It was like a clap of thunder that exploded in Old Master Luo's heart.
Old Master Luo was stunned. He thought that he had misheard Zhang Xiaoloong. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Xiaoloong.
He saw Zhang Xiaoloong looking at him with a smile, but his dark eyes didn't show any possibility of looking at him as a joke.
Old Master Luo was shocked. He knew that the information he had gathered was definitely wrong, but judging from this sentence, Zhang Xiaoloong's background must be extraordinary.
Rubbing his beard, Old Master Luo shook his head slowly and said, "Master Zhang, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Luo Family to fulfill this request."
Zhang Xiaoloong's expression remained unchanged, as if he had already guessed the answer.
Old Master Luo smiled bitterly and explained, "Master Zhang, although the Dongning Province has to give face to the Luo Family in every aspect, it involves the monopoly of many industries between the black and the white. There are also some things that even I can't figure out. He might listen to the words of the Luo Family. But if he doesn't listen, there's nothing we can do. It's even more impossible to uproot them. Unless this is the power of the entire Dongning Province. "
Zhang Xiaoloong nodded slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed across his eyes.
Just when Old Master Luo thought that Zhang Xiaoloong would give up after hearing his words, he suddenly heard Zhang Xiaoloong calmly say, "What if I can let others see an opportunity?"
Old Master Luo's pupils contracted, and he took a deep look at Zhang Xiaoloong.
In fact, his heart was in turmoil. He knew very well what Zhang Xiaoloong meant.
Given the status of Luo Family in Dongning Province, they had to be careful when dealing with a family like the Zhou Family. They might not reject some small issues, but it was hard to say if it was related to benefits.
As for the survival of the family, it didn't matter who the opponent was. Similarly... Unless the disparity in strength was too great, it would be impossible to completely wipe out the entire family. Otherwise, with the gap between the Zhou Family and the Luo Family, even if the Luo Family managed to do it in the end... But the end will be miserable.
However, according to Zhang Xiaoloong's words, he was able to pull the Zhou Family off their horse with his own strength. This would allow even more families to take action upon hearing the news, and push the Zhou Family into a corner.
Even if Zhang Xiaoloong was a disciple of a wealthy family in the capital, it would be impossible for him to run to the Dongning Province to do this.1
After all, the matters of the family were complicated. How could they extend their hands so far so easily?
Then why would Zhang Xiaoloong say such words so confidently?
Old Master Luo's heart was full of guesses, but he could not find an answer.
But no matter what, his impression of Zhang Xiaoloong and his strength were completely different.
After giving Zhang Xiaoloong a deep look, Old Master Luo said, "If that's the case, it's naturally possible. But if you don't have the confidence to reach the tenth level, I think it's better for you to be careful, Master Zhang."
Zhang Xiaoloong smiled and said calmly, "I naturally understand the old man's words, but that's not my condition. I want the medicinal herbs business of Zhou Family."
Old Master Luo heaved a sigh of relief. A trace of hesitation flashed across his eyes, but in the end, he still showed a decisive look and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhang, don't worry. I can promise you this."
Zhang Xiaoloong smiled and said, "Since you have promised me this, I will repay you for saving me. It's not early. Today's treatment should begin."
