Next.

General Long Hu personally came to the living room of Heavenly Sin, his face beaming with joy.

"Master Hou, I'm very lucky."

Heavenly Sin smiled: "What's wrong?" Is this congratulating me or yourself? ”

General Long Hu said: "There are both sides, and both of us should be happy, because just yesterday, His Majesty actually sent a secret history to conduct a secret investigation of this battle, although they are very dissatisfied with my tactics, but they do not suspect that we are actually making a show, or think that we are still doing our best." ”

Tiansin smiled: "That's a good thing, why did you come here?" Is it just to tell me the good news? ”

General Long Hu smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Because...... There's also bad news. ”

"Hey...... Sure enough, let's hear it. ”

"The lord of the country gave Ben General a deadline, one month, one month for Ben General to occupy the city, and announced to Nan Ming the attitude and force of the west."

"A month? Only given for a month? Your lord's head is watered?! ”

Heavenly Sin stood up abruptly and shouted loudly.

General Long Hu said with a bitter face: "There is no way to do it, in fact, the Xilai country has not encountered a war for many years, and it usually rebels against some small countries, and it is almost pacified by sending troops over, so the lord of the country has a little illusion that the Xilai army is invincible." And in this way, on the contrary, the affairs of the rivers and lakes are dealt with more, as for the real war...... It has long been forgotten by the Western Lai Kingdom. ”

"What is going on in the rivers and lakes?"

Heavenly Sin groaned for a while, feeling that it was really like this.

From the very beginning when I came into contact with the Xilai Kingdom, it was they who came out to snatch their Xuanyuan artifact, and they sent people from the rivers and lakes, and even the secret agents of the army were useless.

If a country is linked to the rivers and lakes...... The country is actually weak.

"Do you know what rivers and lakes are?"

Heavenly Sin asked suddenly.

General Longhu was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The rivers and lakes should be where the knights travel, some people say that the whole world is the rivers and lakes, and no one can tell what it is." ”

Heavenly Sin sighed and said, "Can't tell? In fact, I just can't figure it out, the rivers and lakes...... The rivers and lakes are different from what ordinary people imagine. ”

He seemed to feel very much, looked up at the roof and said in a calm tone: "The origin of the word Jianghu is actually a kind of 'black language', since human beings have the concept of the state, with the exchange of goods, the country began to use the form of taxation to accumulate wealth, and began to have Jianghu.

Like salt.

The salt of all dynasties must be official salt, and the tax is extremely heavy, if you avoid the tax, it is a matter of great profit.

Therefore, some people who are not afraid of killing their heads and are bold and careful start this business.

Buyers will ask, where does this come from? When you say 'from the rivers and lakes', you mean private salt.

Because after all, it is a smuggled cargo, and if you want to avoid the official road checkpoints, you can only use the waterways of rivers, lakes and seas to transport them.

Since then, there has been the word 'Jianghu'.

With the development of the world, the prosperity of the country, and the improvement of the law, there will be more and more illegal things.

Ironware, illicit salt, gambling, women, and even goods that are not allowed to circulate in certain regions.

These are meant to be, while they are illegal, so the decrees of the state do not bind such transactions in any way. But people who engage in this kind of trading want to be protected, if there is no restriction and no rules, then the whole world is black and black? It's too risky to do this business, but it's not big.

Thereupon...... Naturally, a set of rules has been formed that specializes in illegal trading.

It can be said that ...... The law governs the things of the day, and these rules govern the things of the night.

Therefore, anyone who does this kind of business and abides by this kind of rules is called 'Jianghu' and 'Jianghu people', and the rules are naturally called 'Jianghu Rules'.

And the first 'righteousness' in the rivers and lakes is also a kind of rule, a rule that pursues stability and self-protection as much as possible.

This...... It's the rivers and lakes!

You are a person from the rivers and lakes, half of the private salt in the west has passed through your hands, it can be said that you have been rolling on the rivers and lakes all your life, but you say that you don't understand what the rivers and lakes are, are you a little passable? Too casual? ”

General Long Hu was stunned again, lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and found that he ...... That's really it.

Tiansin continued: "Therefore, the rivers and lakes have been incompatible with the rulers of the dynasty since ancient times, and the state must resist them to prevent them in order to better maintain its own decrees, and the rivers and lakes also need to play hide and seek with the state. But now the Xilai country uses Jianghu people for everything, doesn't this prove that the Xilai country is now weak to a certain extent? Hum! Ranger? Chivalry is forbidden by force, no matter what the reason, what they do is to put their own moral standards above the national law, which ...... Is it permissible? ”

"This ......"

General Long Hu thought about it, suddenly his eyelids jumped, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help asking, "Lord Hou said this today...... What is the intention? ”

Heavenly Sin pouted and said: "The word intention is a bit derogatory, I don't have intentions, I have a little idea...... But before I talk about this idea, I have to ask General Longhu you, are you a person of guts? ”

General Long Hu smiled dumbly and said, "Master Hou knows my identity, I have been living in place of others since I was ten years old, and even enjoy the warmth of that family. After entering Congwu, I passed all the way, fought hard, climbed up step by step, and did the business of selling illicit salt, did Master Hou say that I am a gutless person? ”

Tiansin shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I'm not talking about this guts, this guts...... Not big enough can only prove your calmness and ability to do things, but it has little to do with guts. I'm talking about guts...... Hehe, it's too general, as far as Ben Hou is concerned, if Ben Hou is saved, Ben Hou has indeed been saved, Ben Hou will repay him, repay him a hundred times, and when the return is over, Ben Hou will leave, will leave, will not be controlled by others, and will not destroy his bottom line because of a word, this is the courage that Ben Hou said. ”

He looked at General Longhu calmly, and looked like this for a long time.

Only then did he ask: "Ben Hou wants you to think about it, can you have this kind of guts?" ”

General Long Hu was silent, he found that after saying Heavenly Sin, he really had no way to judge whether he had the courage or not.

Heavenly Sin said: "The dragon follows the wind, the tiger follows the clouds, comes and goes invisible, fearless." A dragon occupies a place of the sea, a tiger flattens the peak of a mountain...... The word dragon and tiger, hehe, can you be worthy of the general? ”

General Long Hu's brows jumped in anger, and finally shouted loudly: "I have the guts!" ”

"Good!"

Heavenly Sin shouted loudly.

Then he said: "Then what I say next, I hope you don't be scared." ”

"Humph! Ben will not be scared by a word, Ben will not be so timid. ”

"Well, what I want to say is...... Before, because I didn't know, didn't understand, or overestimated the ability of the Western Country, I never thought about it, but now, ...... Hum! What about the West? What about the 10,000-year-old kingdom? Take advantage of his illness to kill him, General, do you have the ambition to take down the entire Xilai Kingdom? ”

General Long Hu's eyes widened sharply, and his mouth opened and closed several times.

Pedal back three steps, looking at Heavenly Sin's eyes full of disbelief.

He really doubted that his ears had heard it wrong, how could there be a ...... in the world Such a bold and crazy person?

This is to steal the country!

He is a Nanming courtier, and he didn't say that he 'stolen' Nanming, but now he wants to say to himself that he wants to steal from the west, which is ...... Isn't it a bit of a standing and talking without backache?

Tiansin looked at General Longhu's panicked face, and said with a smile: "What? The general is still scared? ”

General Long Hu's old face turned red, and then he said, "Master Hou...... Hou Ye hasn't said that he wants to steal Nanming, and he has never succeeded, but now he has such an idea in the face of Xilai, who is ten times more powerful than a hundred times...... Hmph, Hou Ye's words only made Ben Jiang feel crazy. ”

Tiansin stretched out a finger and shook it and said, "There are three reasons why Ben Hou didn't have any thoughts about Nanming, and even came forward to block a certain family when they were about to take down the entire Nanming. The first is because the lord of Nanming is kind to me, I said that I am a person who knows how to repay kindness, so I must repay this kindness, what he wants most is the strength of Nanming, and I will give him the strength of Nanming. Don't generals think that it may be more difficult to make a country rich and strong than to get it?

The second is because...... Ben Hou is most afraid of the kind of woman who is gentle on the surface and strong in her heart, and she happens to have one in Nanming, and Ben Hou can't deal with her.

Third, hehe, to tell you the truth, it's because Nanming is too small.

This marquis is a marquis of Nanming, and his status in Nanming is not much different from that of the lord of the country, so why do you take it away? Turn infinite pleasure into endless labor? ”

"This ......"

If these words were said by another person, General Long Hu would definitely slap them in the face.

But when a marquis said this, he believed it.

After pondering for a long time, General Longhu's eyes became deeper and deeper.

Raising his head and asking slowly, "Master Hou, does it mean that there is really a chance for the West now?" ”

Heavenly Sin sneered in his heart.

Knowing that the other party is already tempted.

Yes, what loyalty can a 'spy'-like figure have to a hidden force of his own? And his ability to do things is too strong, but those who have strong ability to do things are also ambitious.

Oh, except for that 'Miss Almighty'.

Heavenly Sin said: "I said before, since the Xilai Kingdom likes to use the methods on the rivers and lakes to do things, then ...... Hehe, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, it is always the person who has the most popular support and can bring benefits to his subordinates the most, and he should sit in that position, as for how to do it......"

Heavenly Sin stood up and walked to General Longhu's side, tilted his head slightly and whispered something to him......

It wasn't until it was getting dark that General Long Hu walked out of the hall with a heavy face.

Standing under the setting sun, he took several deep breaths before calming his complicated but wildly beating thoughts, as if nothing had happened, and walked out of the city.

From this moment on, he realized that he was no longer an old Gu agent, but a person who was about to embark on a path to change his fate, a ...... The road to nine deaths and one life!

But he felt that he had no regrets, and the whole person was relaxed, which was very weird.
