Chapter 193 The true nature is gone(3/4)
Lord Nan, you will know if you ask."
Jiang Wen was confused as he spoke, but his eyes deliberately looked at Shang Kexi, who was pretending to be in a daze. Sure enough, he noticed a trace of inconspicuous surprise from his face covered with black spots.
Counselor Jin Guang looked at his lord tentatively, but he really read the obvious default meaning from Shang Kexi - the two have been together for thirty years, there is absolutely no possibility of misunderstanding, but what exactly does the other party say?
What happened that made Shang Kexi keep silent about the assassin and instead acquiesced in the rationality of the other party's interrogation with Luo Yuantong?
Shang Kexi's old body moved slightly, his face was hidden in the armor and could not be detected, and only a low voice sounded slowly.
"I didn't expect that Brother Luo would actually embrace Prince Jingnan's lap. This is something I didn't expect."
Thinking of the pair of "sacred elephants" and "crane" that he gave to Geng Jimao, Shang Ke couldn't help but feel his heart tremble with joy, and his tone of voice gradually softened, "However, I have always been loyal to the country, and I don't have any personal thoughts. Brother Luo
Whether he wants to go to Pingnan Prince’s Palace or Jingnan Prince’s Palace, after all, it’s for my Qing Dynasty’s iron-clad empire, so why not let him go!”
Shang Kexi looked at Jiang Wen and continued, "Since Master Jiang is connected with the Luo Mansion, I wonder if Brother Luo has anything else to say to me? I don't believe that these ten years of friendship can be compared to a glorious event.
Wealth."
Jiang Wen bowed his hands and saluted respectfully, and said to Shang Ke in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.
"The prince has worked so hard for this place in the south of the world, and the old hero Luo naturally wanted to reciprocate. He heard that assassins were rampant in the city, and he had always been worried that the palace was unable to protect the safety of the Shang family, old and young. A slight negligence would lead to a tragic disaster like a river of blood. Who would have known that?
Helping the crazy people in the martial arts world to kidnap the prince and force the old hero Luo to allow them to hide, this is an act of humiliation and heavy responsibility, I hope the prince will see clearly!"
Jiang Wen faced Shang Kexi and began to explain right and wrong on the spot. The sincerity of his tone was so sincere that it made people cry. Everyone seemed to have really seen an aloof white-haired hero endure the humiliation and sacrifice himself for his country.
"Fortunately, the assassin was careless, and the old hero took the opportunity to save the prince, who was lingering in the house at this time. The old hero said that now that the prince is away on war, it is difficult to have both, and it is the time to repay the favor. Unless he dies today,
I will never allow anyone to hurt the prince's hair!"
After Jiang Wen finished speaking, he stood uprightly in front of Shang Kexi, with a look of indignation on his face, saying that as a retainer of the Jingnan Palace, he would naturally stand up and explain something unfair if he encountered it.
He changed Luo Yuantong from a rebel to a loyal minister.
But Shang Kexi's expression was more complicated. He could not express Luo Yuantong's thoughts clearly, but he was also afraid of being exposed in public about what he had done. As for him, he clenched his nails harder and harder, and unknowingly, he had made a cut in the palm of his hand.
Why do you have no choice but to endure the humiliation and bear the burden? This is clearly Na Shang Zhixin threatening yourself!
Now the Prince of Pingnan was concerned about Shang Zhixin's safety, so he did not attack the Luo family. At this time, the other party made this matter clear and clear, and also deliberately mentioned that the Prince of Pingnan had no time to take care of himself, so he had to take care of it. It was clear that he was waiting for a price.
And when it came time to sell, he sent someone to come and set terms with him!
The most irritating thing about Shang Kexi is that Luo Yuantong has been trusted by him for so many years, and he still refuses to hand over what he has in his hands, no matter what. This time, he first colluded with foreign enemies to deal with him, and now he also wanted to gain fame and wealth while also establishing a career.
The appearance of the archway is really deceiving!
"...When Master Jiang said this, I was really enlightened and understood Brother Luo's good intentions!"
Jin Guang secretly looked at Shang Kexi, and could already feel the suppressed anger under the sky blue armor, but he heard soft words that he didn't expect, "I will send someone to bring the evil son back to avoid disturbing him."
Brother Luo. But I don’t know what Brother Luo’s plans are in the future, so I will thank you very much!”
The word "heavy" was naturally said heavily, like an iron ingot being smashed on the ground, but Jiang Wen smiled brightly, with a thoughtful expression as if he was really thinking about Luo Yuantong.
"Your Majesty, you have your heart. Hero Luo has washed his hands in a golden basin and stopped using force. At the same time, he has offended many martial arts people. It will be very bad for him to continue to linger in Guangzhou City in the future. Therefore, he plans to move to Fujian to live in it, so that I, the Wuyi Sect, can take care of him.
.”
Jiang Wen noticed the other party's impatience, so he spoke faster.
"Your Majesty, you also know that the old hero Luo has dismissed all the members of the Luo family, leaving only his daughter in the family. His only wish now is for his daughter to go to the Nanhai Ancient Temple to burn incense and fulfill her vows, to thank God for his kindness, and then she will naturally set sail.
I will not come back after going to sea, and everything in the Luo Mansion will be handled by you, Prince Shang from now on!"
Jiang Wen had already put forward the final conditions, and Shang Kexi also understood the intention of these words.
After all, it probably means that Luo Yuantong insists on going to the Nanhai Ancient Temple to use his last strength to suppress the dragon ghosts, or die in the stormy waves. Anyway, there will no longer be a "golden sword crushing the green forest" in Guangzhou city from now on.
Luo Yuantong knew this person - and the things from the Luo Mansion that he had longed for were the conditions for exchange.
This is basically consistent with the news brought back by Wu Liuqi. It seems that Luo Yuantong is determined to ruin Shang Kexi's plan.
"Okay, I will just follow what Brother Luo said."
Shang Ke gritted his teeth with joy, and finally chose the latter between his own plan and Shang Zhixin's safety. The success of the former plan may not necessarily allow the Shang family to rule Tiannan forever, but once the latter dies, what awaits the Shang family will inevitably be the Qing government's push.
Li Xinghe has analyzed this matter very clearly for himself, so there is no need to elaborate further.
Jiang Wen finally showed a smile from the bottom of his heart. The final handover between the two generations of rhino wielders was quietly completed in such a confusing situation for everyone.
In the Luo Mansion, Luo Yuantong asked himself which side he was going to take now in the two battlefields of light and dark. The battlefield in the light was where the martial arts people assassinated Shang Kexi, and the battlefield in the dark was undoubtedly the place to go to the ancient temple in the South China Sea to suppress the dragon ghosts.
At this moment, the situation is critical and no one waits. No matter what, he can only choose one of the two battlefields. After careful consideration, Jiang Wen finally chose the path of dealing with the Yixi things. This is also the fate of being a rhinoceros wielder.
After all, Jiang Wen knew that assassinating Shang Kexi was just a temporary measure. He could have killed Shang Kexi at this moment and fled. However, he still had many people he wanted to protect. The only way was to completely eradicate the Shang family and the forces behind it.
, is the way to control Guangzhou City.
After all, the Shang family represents the Qing court's hand reaching out to the south. If one is cut off today, another one will be stretched out tomorrow. Just like when Guangzhou attracted the villain Li Chengdong because of its support for Emperor Shaowu, it was not easy to instigate rebellion.
It is gratifying that Li Chengdong has been recruited and a butcher has been recruited. Therefore, the real control of Guangzhou City does not depend on someone's talent and strategy, but only on who the Qing government supports!
Assassination was a dead end, and it wasn't even something he knew he could do. What worried him even more was the dragon ghost hiding under the ancient temple in Nanhai.
Shang Kexi and Li Xinghe recklessly provoked the Yixi thing. The consequences of this matter cannot be determined by hearsay, nor can they be guessed through speculation. In Jiang Wen's eyes, this matter is like a huge beast beside them.
When he woke up, the tip of the iceberg had just appeared on the sea surface. Unless he could see it with his own eyes and find out the details, he definitely didn't think that he could deal with the Yixi thing that could cause endless disasters at any time with human power alone.
Not to mention how far away it is, if one day someone breaks into the ancient city of Minyue in Wuyi Mountain again and awakens the six-tusked white elephant Jie Ju who should have been sleeping in death and decay until the sea withers away, Jiang Wen will not think that this is a history book.
The tragic disaster in the world can be described by a simple sentence: "The mountains collapsed, the vast sea was destroyed, and the human population was wiped out."
At the moment in Jiang Wen's heart when heaven and man were at war, Shang Kexi had already exchanged a few words with Jin Guang, turned around and returned to the central army guarded by all the troops, leaving counselor Jin Guang to say respectfully.
"Master Jiang, now the assassins have been besieged by us. It's just the painstaking efforts of the old hero Luo that everyone didn't understand before. It is inevitable that there will be accidental injuries during the fierce battle. Jin will take you to identify them now. The palace may open the network."
one side."
At this time, the rain gradually subsided, and the two parties who had completely negotiated the terms entered a period of gentle exchange of terms. Jiang Wen asked the three apprentices to support each other, and the Meng Xue teacher Wen Yuqin, who had fallen, moved forward together.
To the place they said was under siege.
The few people walked south for a while, and they saw heavy ambushes set up by Pingnan Prince's Mansion everywhere. It was not until they were outside the hill alley at the foot of Poshan Ancient Ferry, and in front of the antique Five Immortals Temple, that they heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing.
At the sound of the sound, many soldiers from Prince Pingnan's Palace were forming a military formation and were surrounding a large group of ragged martial arts men.
These people in the martial arts world are not bad at martial arts, but a stalemate will inevitably lead to casualties. These people seem to be the number of people left by the group of assassins with strong martial arts skills to take care of them. There are as many as seventy or eighty in number, but because of Wu Liuqi's betrayal, they were killed in advance.
exposed here.
Facing the tragic scene of fighting outside the Five Immortals Temple, Jin Guang turned a blind eye and deliberately pointed at the exhausted martial arts people and said to Jiang Wen, "Are there any righteous men sneaking in here?"
Jin Guang was clearly using this as a tactic to alienate each other. He also knew that Jiang Wen was a person with evil intentions, so on the one hand he wanted to see him show his unbearable expression of hurting other people, and on the other hand he wanted to make these martial arts people start internal strife.
A few more casualties.
But after he glanced at the people and counted the number of people, he suddenly said nervously.
"Why are there fewer people here than before? Besides, the prince promised to set up an ambush for 300 people. Could it be possible that you got your free salary!?"
The young general who came to report was scolded and scolded, and he finally found a chance to defend himself.
"Master Jin, this is what happened! Three or four more thieves suddenly appeared just now, causing disturbance and letting away the dozen or so most powerful masters. Knowing that the situation was urgent, my subordinates divided their forces to pursue them and sent for help at the same time.
"
The young general raised his head and said eagerly, "Fortunately, I met General Wang who was patrolling here and chasing the group of thieves towards Shenzhupu, three miles south of the city. If they were not stopped from going out to sea by boat, this group of thieves would have escaped.
Got it!"
Hearing this, Hong Wending suddenly raised his head and said to Jiang Wen: "No, Mr. Lei and the others were walking towards Haizhushi in Shenzhupu. They must have been surrounded!"
Fu Ningdie also said eagerly: "Yes, Master, Sister Wing Chun has already taken care of her injuries before. What if they can't escape!"
After hearing this, Jiang Wen's face became solemn, and he stared into the distance for a moment. He suddenly saw that the large banner of the Chinese Army, which represented Shang Kexi, was also slowly moving towards the south gate. He quickly ordered a few disciples to follow him, and he flew up and took the lead.
Run towards the south gate where Haizhushi is.
…………
The Shenzhupu they call is located three miles south of Fucheng. There is a huge stone in the river named "Haizhu".
This reef left over from the Cretaceous period is more than ten feet high out of the water and two acres wide. There are Cidu Temple and Li Subaru's Temple built on it. The old Guangzhou Chronicles record: "In the past, there was a Jiahu who had a bright moon pearl, jumped into the water, and bought the good ones.
When I went down to ask for it, I saw a dragon circling around to protect me. Then I was frightened and came out, which was where I was. I couldn't explain it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the past, during the leisure time in calm times, there would often be small vendors selling lychees, roses, hibiscus, and jasmine to tourists in small boats. They would come and go with the tide from time to time.
The scene is pleasant, but at this time, the windy and turbulent seaside is extremely dangerous. Even if there is no dragon protecting the pearl, only a few human figures can be seen hiding on the seaside, sneaking around and acting suspiciously.
"Master Lei, where is the ship you mentioned?"
Yan Wing Chun faced the turbulent waves in the South China Sea alone. At this time, the sea surface was rising visibly to the naked eye, both angry and boiling, gradually submerging the usually clear rocks and beaches.
Waves of roars floated from the sea and took off into the sky. It seemed that a giant monster was pumping its arms and waves, setting off tens of thousands of feet of flood waves that were about to submerge the land. And at the end of the sea, the water and sky dissolved into one
In the abyss of chaos, there seems to be a large copper ship covered with green rust that is heaving and undulating, shuttling between the rolling waves like a ghost, making a deafening sound of drum beating, which is terrifying to hear.
Lei Laohu and the housekeeper were shirtless and groping around for the seaweed barnacles on the edge of the coast. However, they were unable to gain anything due to the turbid water caused by the surge in sea water. It was not clear whether the beads on their foreheads were sweat or rain, but they became more and more anxious.
What you want is nowhere to be found.
Yan Yongchun's water quality was only average, so she didn't dare to enter the water rashly when the wind was strong and the waves were dangerous. So she turned her head and looked not far away, focusing on the direction where the shouts of killing were everywhere. The person she was worried about was still there.
