Chapter 124 She Wins Back the Entire Forbidden City
Chapter 124 She Wins Back the Entire Forbidden City
Sheng Kai drove an off-road vehicle like a ferocious beast and rushed into the Heili Hall without hesitation.
Song Yixuan nimbly opened the driver's door and said with a firm look in her eyes: "I'll drive!" She pulled out the person who was originally sitting in the driver's seat, then jumped lightly and sat steadily in front of the steering wheel.
Sheng Kai was full of doubts, but he quickly turned around and got into the back seat. Before he could close the door, he felt the car body suddenly shake violently and spun around. The next moment, he was thrown out like a kite with a broken string, and hit the door on the other side hard.
"Sister... "
Sheng let out a cry of surprise, and his body swayed uncontrollably due to inertia.
Before he could sit firmly, the car suddenly accelerated again. The sudden force knocked him backwards heavily again, pressing him tightly against the back of the seat.
"Sister... "
This time there was a hint of fear and helplessness in the cry.
The bumpy road made the car bump constantly, as if the ground was full of speed bumps, which made his mouth numb and his words echoed.
Guan Qian sat quietly in the passenger seat, staring at Song Yixuan who was concentrating on driving, and thought to himself: After taking charge of the Forbidden City, the first thing I will do is to repair the road.
Song Yixuan and Guan Qian's hasty departure left many doubts for everyone who had not yet recovered from the shock of the missile landing.
They looked at each other, and their contempt for Song Yixuan had now turned into fear.
Wu Lang said nothing and walked towards the front hall with heavy steps. The elders and deputy leaders of other gangs also followed silently behind him.
After entering the front hall, it was unusually quiet, and only the faint breathing of the crowd could be heard. Everyone sat back in the seats they had sat in when Guan Qian and Song Yixuan were being tried, with their heads lowered. The whole scene was filled with a suffocating dullness.
"Qian'er, Qian..." Qin Dian's heart was full of worries. He looked around anxiously, trying to search for Guan Qian's figure, fearing that he might have encountered some accident.
"Uncle Qin." Leng Yuyang was quick to support Qin Dian, who was almost unable to stand, and said, "Master Jin has gone with Miss Song. Now you are the only one who can represent Qiongtian Yuzhe. You have to talk to them about everything Miss Song has won."
Qin Dian was stunned when he heard this, and then a complicated expression appeared on his face. He had just witnessed Song Yixuan's amazing strength, and he couldn't help but feel regretful. He realized that his previous prejudice against Song Yixuan was too ridiculous.
"Okay!" He took a deep breath, made up his mind, and said, "Even if they are not here, I will protect what they fought so hard for. Let's go!" His tone was firm, and his eyes were shining with determination and courage. After that, he took the lead and walked forward.
Jing Rong and Qin Dian walked into the front hall one after the other, with Qi Xian and Leng Yuyang following behind Qin Dian on the left and right.
"Hall masters and elders, the competition is now over and everyone knows the result. Although Miss Song is not here, you must continue to fulfill the agreement you made with Miss Song." Jing Rong said with a solemn expression and sincere words.
Wu Lang was about to speak but stopped talking for a moment. He originally wanted to use Ding Tongyun as a shield, but Song Yixuan had hung that missile over the heads of everyone in the forbidden area, and Ding Tongyun was just an ant.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Qin Dian said, "Miss Song won three out of five games, and everyone present witnessed it. But it will not be completed overnight for each gang to transfer power to Qiong Tian Yuzhe."
He looked at Jing Rong and continued, "Old Jing, please be a witness again and have the leaders of the five gangs sign a written agreement for Qiong Tianyu. When Master Jin and Miss Song come back, they will handle the matter personally. This will also give the gangs some time to prepare."
He has always put the interests of Qiongtian Yuzhe and Guan Qian first. This sudden change did not allow him to re-evaluate his attitude towards Song Yizhen, but the control of the Forbidden City concerned Qiongtian Yuzhe and Guan Qian, and he would risk his life to get it.
Everyone sat on the chairs, looking at each other, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Everyone knew that as long as they signed this word, it would mean that everything they had in the forbidden area could be "deprived" by Qiong Tian Yuzhu, and they would become Qiong Tian Yuzhu's vassal.
However, Bai Zhu behaved calmly. He knew Guan Qian's character very well and firmly believed that Guan Qian would never deprive or infringe upon the interests of others.
Just as Bai Zhu was about to stand up and sign the contract, two people suddenly walked in from outside the door. Their clothes and attire were exactly the same as those brought by Yu Qiao during the competition. Obviously, they were from the Lanlu League.
"Master Jing, Steward Tan, and all the leaders, I heard that Miss Song won the bet tonight, so our leader sent us here to congratulate Miss Song and Qiongtian Yuzhuo." The disciple of the Lanlu League handed over a letter, and then said, "This is written by our leader himself, promising to transfer the ownership of the Forbidden City and Forbidden North entrance and exit passages and the Forbidden City granary to Qiongtian Yuzhuo. Please take a look, Master Jing."
The sudden action of the Blue Alliance surprised everyone present, and the originally heavy atmosphere suddenly became subtle. Their eyes were focused on the paper, and they secretly speculated on the real intention behind the Blue Alliance's action.
Jing Rong put on his reading glasses, read it carefully, nodded in approval, and handed the commitment contract to Qin Dian.
"Butler Qin, there is no problem with this contract, just keep it."
"Okay, I still believe what you say."
The disciple of the Lanlu League said, "Butler Qin, our leader said that it will take some time to adjust the affairs of the gang, so he will wait until Miss Song and Master Jin return to the Forbidden City before officially handing over. At that time, he will definitely visit Qiongtian Yu in person."
Qin Dian responded: "Please tell Alliance Leader Lu that the door of Qiongtian Yuzhu will always be open to you."
"Farewell!"
The disciples of the Lanlu League left on their own. Lu Qishan made the decision first without consulting other gangs.
But the bet was already agreed upon. It was just that the Blue Alliance kept its promise and was willing to execute it.
Bai Zhu asked for paper and pen, and signed a document on the spot, "Mr. Jing, Butler Qin, I will rearrange the staff at the Jinxi Passage and the racecourse in the next two days. When the time comes, notify Master Jin and ask him to send someone to replace them."
Ma Biao had originally agreed with Ding Tongyun to kill Song Yixuan on the martial arts arena, but unfortunately, he failed to do so. He had always looked down on Qiong Tianyu, and now that Heilitang and Huangdaohui had not yet made their stance clear, he could wait and observe the attitudes of the two gangs. But when he was silent, Lu Jianlan walked in.
As the deputy leader of the Red Eagle Gang, Lu Jianlan did not show up as a representative of the five major gangs during the competition, but she sat in the audience and watched the whole game. She quickly conveyed the situation on the scene to the leader of the Red Eagle Gang, Chi Ying, who was away on business.
"Master Jing, my gang leader is still out looking for work, so he can't send a handwritten letter of commitment. So the title deed of the gambling stone shop will be temporarily held by Qiongtian Yu. When the gang leader comes back, I will personally discuss with Master Jin about the management of the Forbidden East Passage and the Jade Trading Shop."
Qin Dian nodded slightly to show his approval.
Jing Rong went on to say, "Thank you, Deputy Gang Leader Lu, for making a special trip here. Since it is Gang Leader Chiying's intention and Steward Qin agrees, I won't say much." After that, he turned his gaze to Wu Lang and Liao Shanpo.
Wu Lang remained silent, feeling helpless and unwilling, but under pressure, he finally signed the document silently.
Originally, with Wu Lang blocking the way, Liao Shanpo could still straighten his back a little, looking a little tough. However, at this moment, even Hei Litang, who always thought highly of himself, had to bow his head and admit defeat.
Huang Pizi naturally understood that the situation was stronger than the person, and his attitude towards Qiong Tian Yuzhu would definitely change. Everyone saw it on the arena, and choosing "surrender" was expected. However, he was busy dealing with the auction tomorrow and had no time to take care of this.
Liao Shanpo was indignant. He had endured humiliation and hardship over the years to obtain the management rights of the Jinnan Passage. Now he was going to hand over this power so easily. How could he be willing? But the reality was before him. With his own strength, who could he defeat?
He clenched his teeth tightly, took out a token from his waist, and said stiffly: "This is the token of the Forbidden South Passage. It can be used as collateral for the time being."
Jing Rong quickly snatched the token from Liao Shanpo and handed it to Qin Dian.
Qi Xian and Leng Yuyang sent Qin Dian back to Qiongtian Yuzhe, but Mao Yilong and Di Shuai pulled them away halfway.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't leave in such a hurry, you two!" Mao Yilong pulled them back anxiously, with curiosity and expectation flashing in his eyes, "Tell us quickly!"
After saying that, Mao Yilong hurriedly picked up a jar of wine that had just been dug out of the ground and carefully filled a glass for each person.
Di Shuai sat aside, his face full of regret, and sighed repeatedly: "Alas, if I had known it was so exciting, I should have gone with him. What a pity! What a pity!"
