Chapter 157 Three Northeast Provinces
Qinglong muttered a lot, and Ji Zhi probably understood.
"What you mean is that the current three eastern provinces are actually already under your control." Forget Dust interrupted Qinglong's words.
"Almost, it can also be said that the three eastern provinces have long been controlled by us, and that is our base camp, and the real strength is hidden there." The white tiger said proudly.
"What strength?" Forget Chen asked.
"Do you think that after living for such a long time, so many years have been in vain, and we have only built these two ordinary gangs?" White Tiger Road.
"So you still have hidden powers?" Xuanwu Dao.
Qinglong said: "You know, there is never the strongest on the bright side, the tree is big, and it is easy to fall if it is too ostentatious." We had to hide some of our strength, and we were afraid that if one day we suddenly used it, so we prepared for it for a long time. ”
Ji Zhi nodded, Qinglong their wisdom Ji Zhi had to admire, after being in the world for so long, no one was more shrewd than them, this is experience.
Listening to Qinglong continue: "We have also received a lot of talented people over the years, we can be called the Jianghu sect in the past, we have also founded a lot of sects, but in order to attract people's eyes, we leave every once in a while, let it develop on its own, change its identity and continue to exist." And the disciples who really follow us are all people with potential, and they are also the most trustworthy, and the strength and number of these people are stronger than any previous sect. ”
"Are there still rivers and lakes now? Is Jianghu the current underworld? Ji Zhi is very yearning for the rivers and lakes, and he is a fan of martial arts novels, and he has long thought that he also has an excellent martial arts to laugh at the rivers and lakes.
"The rivers and lakes have always existed, but now they are hidden. No one can say how many ancient things have been circulated in the Yanhuang Kingdom for thousands of years. Like me, who would believe it. Almost the same age as Yan Huang Guo exists? ”
At such an instant, Ji Zhi suddenly found that Qinglong, who had always been mysterious, was so helpless, and his tone was so desolate. Maybe it's not a good thing to live too long, especially after seeing all the things in the world, he who has never stopped his mission may have been tired of all this, the world is impermanent, all kinds of tastes, joys and sorrows in the world, there is a superhuman ability but there is also a lot of helplessness, I heard them talk about him and Suzaku, longevity is undoubtedly to lengthen and increase his lovesickness. Ji Zhi wanted to have a chance to help Qinglong.
"The current underworld is far from the previous rivers and lakes, and the former rivers and lakes advocated martial arts. Pay attention to righteousness and take it as our responsibility to support justice. And although the current underworld imitates the rivers and lakes, it is also about righteousness, but that is already empty talk, only focusing on interests, unscrupulous means for the sake of interests, let alone martial arts, it has long been lost, but it is just more powerful than ordinary people to fight and kill all day long. ”
Ji Zhi nodded and said, "So the three eastern provinces also belong to our sphere of influence?" ”
Qinglong said: "Yes. The strength there is many times stronger than our current Divine Dragon Gang, although there are not many people, but all of them are elites, and they already belong to the category of cultivation. I don't want to lead them into the underworld. I want to stay in the last pure land of rivers and lakes in the world. So we didn't mention it before, and now we're in the underworld, even though we don't care what the world thinks. But I still kept my selfishness, and I didn't want my proud disciples to be stained by the world. ”
"That's right. We have a clear conscience in what we do. It doesn't matter where it is, as long as we don't deviate from what we think in our hearts, we still hide such a strength, and we have a better chance of winning in the future. Ji Zhi was surprised by Qinglong's words, if this is the case, the group of people that Qinglong said is really an immeasurable force.
In this way, the three eastern provinces can be ignored, and they can really be used as a base camp, Ji Zhi said again: "Is Suzaku there?" ”
Ji Zhi's topic changed suddenly, and everyone didn't react, and after a while, Bai Hu said, "How do you know?" ”
Only Qinglong and Baihu know where Suzaku is, Qinglong always deliberately avoids talking about Suzaku, and only Baihu can talk.
Ji Zhi didn't answer Baihu's question, the place that Qinglong and Baihu value so much, although there are proud subordinates of the two of them, it is far from enough, there will definitely be a person who makes Qinglong and Baihu trust and have the strength to secretly guard. And as far as Ji Zhi knows, Suzaku Hall has always been a very mysterious organization, and no force in Yanhuang is willing to take the initiative to provoke it, although Suzaku Hall is famous for buying and selling intelligence, but a person who engages in intelligence does not have a certain strength, and has long been terminated, no one wants to have one or more pairs of eyes around him at any time to keep staring at him, especially those who are mixed with the underworld, and they are not clean. Therefore, it is not allowed to have such an organization in society, although each organization has its own intelligence agency, which is also an important organization, but it will not allow an intelligence organization that relies on buying and selling intelligence but does not use it for its own purposes to threaten itself all the time. Suzaku Tang dares to establish this kind of organization in society, and is the only organization that has existed until now, so there must be something unique, and the most basic strength must be there. The six major gangs that had strength before Yan Huang, Qinglong and White Tiger would not embarrass Suzaku, but the other three gangs are not necessarily, so Suzaku Hall must have no less strength than the previous Qinglong and White Tiger two gangs, and even strong strength, so it will be taken into account by the other three gangs.
Ji Zhi looked directly at Qinglong and said, "I want to meet Suzaku, I need her at this time." "Suzaku is one of the four elephants, Ji Zhi should have met a long time ago, but due to too many things, there has been no chance, although now is not the time to meet Suzaku, but in order to solve the contradiction between Qinglong and Suzaku as soon as possible, the sooner the better.
Qinglong raised his head and said, "Okay, I will arrange for her to come to see the young master as soon as possible, the young master has awakened for so long, and it is indeed rude not to come to visit." "He is a smart person and knows what to do now, although he still doesn't have the courage to see Suzaku, but now Ji Zhi has taken the initiative to propose that Qinglong still has to do it.
Ji Zhi thought for a while and said: "Let's go to the three eastern provinces, I want to see your real strength, know yourself and know your opponent, win all battles, don't talk about knowing the other side now, I don't even know our own strength, how to fight this battle!" Tell me if you have anything to hide from me. Although Ji Zhi didn't mean to blame them, but after hearing this, Qinglong and they all trembled in their hearts, indeed Ji Zhi is their leader, they still have something to hide, no one will be happy, it is indeed wrong for the Qinglong two to do this. The main reason why the two of them did this was because of Suzaku, although there were many true disciples of Qinglong and White Tiger lurking in the three eastern provinces, but after all, Suzaku's main force was there, since Qinglong and Suzaku had an awkward quarrel, Qinglong rarely set foot there, Qinglong has always wanted to tell Ji Zhi about this, but there has been no suitable opportunity, so it has been delayed until now, if it weren't for Ji Zhi's mention of attacking the three eastern provinces today, maybe Qinglong wouldn't have said it.
"I'm sorry young master, we didn't mean to hide it, these disciples are all cultivators, I want to hide there in case of emergency, and ......" Qinglong explained apologetically, and was about to kneel down to confess his guilt when he got up. Although Qinglong and others have come to the present with the changes of the times, there are not so many etiquettes in modern times, but they are also people who lived in ancient times and were born in, and they were deeply rooted in the etiquette of the time, especially the dogma of the monarch and the subordinates, although the monarchy system at that time had not yet taken shape, but in that turbulent period, loyalty was very important, and their behavior could be counted as bullying at that time. concealed his strength, cultivated his own forces in private, and said that he had the intention of plotting to rebel, and now seeing Ji Zhi say this, Qinglong was not scared. The other four people, Baihu, Xuanwu, Qian, and Kun, realized the seriousness of the matter at the same time, and got up at the same time to confess their guilt together.
Ji Zhi didn't expect his words to cause such a big response, and he didn't know Qinglong's deep-rooted concept of superiors and subordinates, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you, you are right, you have been serving the country for so many years, and I have only been here for more than a year, many things are not as comprehensive as you think, I myself feel that I am not worthy of being your leader, I don't understand anything, you are all supporting me, maybe you will do better without me." This is the truth in Ji Zhi's heart.
"Young master......" Qinglong and the others wanted to speak at the same time, but were stopped by Ji Zhi and continued: "Listen to me." I said, I'm not blaming you, but through this incident, I want to say something that I have always wanted to say, I was born in an ordinary rural family, I was worn by the complexity of society and has no character at all, and I have no ability, I am an ordinary ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary in the pile of people, and I don't want to change my ordinary life at all; I would not have thought that I would meet you people who are beyond the comprehension of the world, let alone that I am still one of you, and that I will lead you. To this day, I still sometimes wonder if this is true, I have all the shortcomings of the world, timid, afraid, cowardly, lazy, sometimes helpless, confused, worried, afraid to face things, afraid to bear, often feel that I am worthless, run away from difficulties, afraid. Now I have a different identity and have developed a good skill, but my nature has not changed, I have done nothing for more than a year, and I have either lived under your protection all day long, or under the protection set by the Yellow Emperor a long time ago. Sometimes I think that since it has been arranged a long time ago, it is better to choose anyone than me, even if I have the ability, I still can't solve the problems of the people of the country, and I can't protect the friends with me.
