I, the deposed prince, signed in the imperial mausoleum for a thousand years

"Oh? The Tang family's ancient ship has arrived outside the city?"

Zhao Dehou raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

In the past few days, his mind had been on Huo Ling'er, and he had almost forgotten about the fact that the Tang family was going to send Tang Rui to take over.

"Should I give them a warning and wait in the city instead of going to greet them?" One of the confidants couldn't help asking.

They have been running this place for so many years, and they already have a deep foundation. Even if the main hall appoints someone from the Tang family to take over as the head of the hall, they don't care at all.

Now if the Tang family is given a blow, it will help them to continue to dominate in the future, which will be of great benefit.

"I agree."

The one-eyed middle-aged man also said: "I heard that the person sent by the Tang family is actually a young man, and he is probably a playboy, so he should be punished."

Hearing this, Zhao Dehou pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"If you don't go out to greet him, it's too impolite and easy to fall into the trap of others."

After a pause, he said, "But you can let them hang out for a while."

After finishing speaking, he looked at his old servant who had been with him for many years, and said, "Go and tell the people of the Tang family that I have just finished dealing with important matters, and I will go out of the city to meet them immediately."

"Okay." The old servant nodded.

Then he left the place in a hurry.

As for Zhao Dehou and his son, they sat down and sipped tea in a leisurely manner.

...

...

Outside Quyong City, the luxurious and magnificent ancient ship has attracted the attention of countless people in the city.

In their impression, the ancient boat that the owner of the Temple of Wealth in the Tianmang Region used to ride was not even half as luxurious or magnificent.

They couldn't help sighing in their hearts, the financial resources of the Tang family were too astonishing and terrifying.

At this time, the Tang family's ancient boat was hovering outside Quyong City, and did not enter the city directly, because according to the rules of etiquette, Zhao Dehou and some core members should greet him outside the city.

Tang Rui, the second elder of the Tang family, and more than a dozen entourages stood on the deck, but apart from seeing the caravans and mercenaries coming and going, they didn't see Zhao Dehou and the others at all.

"What's going on, don't Zhao Dehou and the others know that the young master has arrived?" A maid in blue who accompanied her frowned slightly.

"They are trying to show me off."

Although Tang Rui had a playful and smiling face on weekdays, in fact, he had already been fascinated by various power calculations, so he naturally understood what was going on.

"They are so disrespectful, they should report to the main hall and punish them well." The maid in blue said angrily.

At the level of the deputy hall master of the branch hall, if you want to punish, you must have the inspector sent by the main hall to be qualified.

"No, doing that will only make the people in the main hall feel that our Tang family is incompetent, and even this matter needs to be reported." The second elder of the Tang family retorted.

Tang Rui nodded, feeling reasonable.

And at this moment, the old servant sent by Zhao Dehou had already rushed over.

After being interrogated by Tang's servants, he boarded the ancient ship.

"Mr. Tang, I'm really sorry. My master has just finished dealing with important matters, so he will come out to greet you right away."

The old servant was apologetic, and said to Tang Rui sincerely.

Hearing this, Tang Rui's face became more and more ugly. How could he not understand Zhao Dehou's thoughts? He clearly wanted to hang them here and give them a blow.

But he couldn't refute Zhao Dehou's reason, otherwise it would appear that he was caressing.

"Go back and tell Zhao Dehou that no matter what he does, it's best not to let outsiders think that there is disharmony within the Temple of the God of Wealth in the Tianmang Region, otherwise his ten lives will not be enough to ruin the reputation of the Temple of the God of Wealth."

The second elder of the Tang family said directly and coldly.

After all, he has experienced more things.

Straight out the words.

The old servant's face changed suddenly when he heard the words. No one could bear the charge of affecting the rest of the God of Wealth Palace. He quickly laughed and said: "My master has just finished dealing with important matters, and he should be here soon."

After all, he didn't stay on the ancient ship, and hurried back to Quyong City to urge Zhao Dehou to come over immediately.

"Fortunately, the Second Elder is here, otherwise, I'm afraid I would really have to wait here." Tang Rui said with a wry smile.

"After you have experienced a lot, you will know how to deal with it in the future." The second elder of the Tang family said.

Tang Rui nodded, thinking it made sense.

At this time, Qin Feng didn't care about these things. He took out a thousand origami cranes made of paper from the system space, and injected spiritual energy into it.

"Shh!"

Following the tiny lines on the thousand paper cranes, bursts of light lit up, and then the thousand paper cranes flapped their wings and flew towards the west side of Quyong City.

This is a very basic method of sending messages on the Eternal Continent, and messages are usually sent at close range.

"Huh... Who are you sending the letter to?" Tang Rui asked suspiciously when he saw this.

"An acquaintance of mine."

Qin Feng said flatly: "She lives near Quyong City."

The acquaintance he was talking about was naturally Huo Ling'er who came here a few days in advance.

Because she is more cautious, Huo Ling'er does not live in Quyong City, but hides her identity and lives in a post station in the west of the city.

"Acquaintance, isn't it your first time to Tianmang Domain?"

Tang Rui was a little surprised, but then said: "It's just right, after I'm done with work, I'll ask him to have a drink with me."

Regarding this invitation, Qin Feng nodded and did not explain much.

The words of the second elder of the Tang family are still very effective.

Not long after, Zhao Dehou and several core members of the Temple of Wealth in Tianmangyu hurried out to greet them.

"I'm really sorry. Recently, I've been busy with business. I rushed over just after finishing the work. Please forgive me for being far behind." Zhao Dehou said with a smile, cupping his hands.

Although he was apologizing, there was no trace of apology in his eyes.

Asking the Tang family to wait outside the city for a while longer, his goal of gaining prestige has been achieved for the most part.

"It's okay."

The second elder of the Tang family said directly: "In the future, I can add another deputy hall master to handle the affairs of the hall together with you."

Although each branch hall of the God of Wealth Hall generally has only one deputy hall master, there are no specific regulations in this regard.

The reason why he said this in public was naturally for the other core members to listen to, hoping to stimulate their ambition to compete for the deputy palace master, and then take the opportunity to win them over.

And just as the second elder of the Tang family expected, the eyes of those who came with Zhao Dehou all brightened.

Although these people are Zhao Dehou's confidantes, if they have the opportunity to sit on an equal footing with Zhao Dehou, how could they give up, of course they have to work hard.

"Hehe... If this is really possible, I naturally agree."

Zhao Dehou was an old fox, and he didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction, saying: "However, in this way, we will appear too special among the many branch halls. I hope the elders in the main hall can understand."

In just a few words, he let the accompanying confidants understand that it is impossible to add a deputy hall master, because at least one elder of the main hall must be dealt with.

It is impossible for the Tang family to use such a relationship just to help them obtain the position of deputy hall master.
