Jiang Mantian was stunned, and his eyes showed doubt.

"Tell me who's behind all this." Qi Ning turned around, faced the sea, and said lightly: "Tell me a name, I can try my best to make the Jiang family continue to breathe, otherwise the Han family back then is the example of the Jiang family today." ”

When Jiang Mantian heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing, and the laughter spread far away, and the group of officers and soldiers not far away, Jiang Changfeng and the others were all at a loss.

Qi Ning looked very calm and calm, and when Jiang Mantian's laughter stopped, Qi Ning asked with a smile: "Mr. Jiang thinks this transaction is ridiculous?" ”

"Master Hou misunderstood, not ridiculous, but ridiculous." Jiang Mantian smiled and said: "Hou Ye asked who was the mastermind behind it, which surprised Jiang?" Jiang has done all this, does he need someone else to guide him? Jin Yihou is not too underestimated Jiang. ”

Qi Ning still kept a smile and said: "Mr. Jiang has a talent, and of course he doesn't need others to guide him in all this prepared by Donghai. ”

"Then I don't know why Hou Ye would say that there is another mastermind behind it?" Jiang Mantian stretched out his hands: "Is Jiang not qualified enough to be the mastermind?" ”

Qi Ning sighed: "Since Mr. Jiang said so, he is unwilling to make a deal with Benhou. Ben Hou has never been difficult to do things. ”

Jiang Mantian let out another long laugh, stared at Qi Ning and said, "Why does Master Hou think that Jiang is doing all this under the command of others?" ”

"Mr. Jiang still misunderstood." Qi Ning said: "I didn't say that everything you did was instructed by others, I just said that behind you, there should be a real master, and all this you did may not be instructed by him, but you, the chess piece, should be on top of his chess game." ”

"Chess pieces?" The corners of Jiang Mantian's eyes jumped slightly.

Qi Ning sighed: "Mr. Jiang, Lu Shanghe is famous in Xichuan, and his Shadow Crane Villa used to be one of the eight gangs and sixteen factions, and in terms of fame and status, he will never be below you." ”

Jiang Mantian tried his best to keep his composure, and said with a faint smile: "Of course, Lord Lu Zhuang is a big celebrity on the rivers and lakes. ”

"His prestige is not below you, but it is not necessarily higher than yours." Qi Ning smiled and said: "You and Lu Shanghe are not inferior to others, you are in the East China Sea, and the others are in Xichuan, they can be regarded as a hero, I have never figured out what brought the two of you together." ”

Jiang Mantian smiled: "It's just like-minded." ”

"Lu Shanghe privately colluded with the elders of the beggar gang to murder the leader of the beggar gang, intending to usurp the power of the beggar gang." Qi Ning stared at Jiang Mantian's eyes: "Your Excellency is in the East China Sea, on the one hand, he manipulates Shen Liangqiu to control the military power in the East China Sea, and on the other hand, he secretly casts and stores weapons, the number of which is huge, and it is also terrifying. After a pause, he sighed: "I believe that everything Lu Shanghe and Mr. Jiang did was part of the plan, and all of this was carefully planned, because the stakes are too big, not everyone dares to try, you at least think that the winning rate is extremely high, so you will take risks." ”

Jiang Mantian's eyes flashed with horror, but he still smiled lightly: "Master Hou is not very old, but he thinks too much. In fact, some things in this world are very simple, not as complicated as you think. ”

"If things are really complicated and you think too simply, then you must end up with a failure." Qi Ning smiled and said: "Think about it yourself, if you really encounter the worst situation in the future, at least you can be prepared, Mr. Jiang said that this is not the truth." ”

Jiang Mantian laughed, Qi Ning put his hands behind his back, glanced at Jiang Changfeng's side, and said: "So if Mr. Jiang tells me who is behind everything, such as the spread of the epidemic in the capital, such as Xichuan's usurpation of the power of the beggar gang, and now that Mr. Jiang intends to rebel in the East China Sea, who is the mastermind behind all this, I can guarantee that the bloodline of the Jiang family will not be broken." ”

Jiang Mantian sighed and said, "If Jinyi Hou said this to me half an hour in the morning, I might hesitate in my heart, and I would really tell you what I knew, even if there was no so-called mastermind behind the scenes, I would make up a person to come out and live a few more days." Shaking his head, he said, "It's a pity that Jiang is powerless now." ”

"You ..... that!"

Qi Ning hadn't finished speaking, but he saw that there was already blood spilling out of Jiang Mantian's lips, and his heart sank, and he understood, Jiang Mantian took two steps back, and actually bowed deeply to Qi Ning, and said: "The winner, the prince, the loser, Kou, this time lost in the hands of Jinyihou, Jiang Mou was convinced." Jiang knew that he would not be able to escape today, and when Hou Ye had not yet landed on the shore, I had already taken the poison, and now I had a seizure, even if Da Luo Jin Immortal came to the world, he would not be able to return to the sky. ”

Qi Ning sighed: "Mr. Jiang's willingness to gamble and lose is indeed admirable. ”

"The Jiang family is a big family in the East China Sea." Jiang Mantian smiled bitterly and said: "Although the Jiang family in the East China Sea has never sincerely returned to the Chu State, over the years, the Chu State has indeed gained a lot from the Jiang family. Jiang is the head of the family, and before leaving, I just begged the Hou Ye to let me walk decently, and if I really want to send my head to the capital, I hope to find a coffin to bury my severed head. Another deep salute, "It's hard work!" ”

Qi Ning nodded and said, "I promise you!" ”

A smile appeared on Jiang Mantian's lips, he put down his hand, straightened his clothes, and suddenly walked towards the sea, Jiang Changfeng saw it from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Brother.....!" ”

Jiang Mantian walked into the seawater, spread his arms, and said loudly: "Heaven and earth are drifting, and one is like a willow leaf." It is the same for all eternity, and the twilight is extinguished. There is a pearl in the East China Sea, a dream with a strong west wind, take advantage of the drunkenness to go out of the river, when will the basil be ......! In the midst of laughter, his body shook, but he fell forward and poured into the water.

Qi Ning stared at Jiang Mantian's corpse floating in the sea with a solemn expression.

Although Jiang Mantian was defeated under his hands, Qi Ning did not have the slightest sense of accomplishment, nor did he have the slightest disdain for Jiang Mantian.

He knew that although he had taken the lead to eliminate the threat of the Jiang family, he still hadn't uncovered the net.

He even thought that the source of this net came from Dongqi, but he didn't have any evidence to prove it, whether it was Lu Shanghe or Jiang Mantian, although the conspiracy of these two people was eliminated by himself, he never got more clues about this net from these two people.

He knew that the Jiang family had private contact with Dongqi, but did this prove that the mastermind behind it must be from Dongqi?

If the real backer behind Jiang Mantian and even Lu Shanghe was from Eastern Qi, then the current situation would be very strange.

Dongqi married Princess Tianxiang to the Chu State, and now she has become the queen of the Chu State, the two countries are already allies by marriage, and the direct reason for this alliance is that the Han State in the north has turmoil in the throne, and the two countries take this opportunity to form an alliance to go north to attack the Han.

In this alliance, Dongqi was extremely active, not only marrying the princess, but also sending the crown prince to come to Chu to discuss the joint army.

It stands to reason that during this period, the two sides naturally want to cooperate sincerely and join forces in the Northern Expedition, but if the Eastern Qi secretly contacts the Donghai clan, what is its purpose? Could it be that he formed an alliance with the Chu State on the surface, but stabbed the Chu State behind his back?

Jiang Mantian's preparations in the East China Sea did not happen overnight, but began many years ago, which means that the East China Sea is very likely to have colluded with the Qi State many years ago.

can make Jiang Mantian take risks and collude with Dongqi in private, Dongqi naturally wants to give Jiang Mantian absolute confidence, otherwise Jiang Mantian will never take the life of the Donghai clan to gamble? Then what did Dongqi come up with to make Jiang Mantian believe that once the incident started, he would have a good chance of winning? If it can't exceed the seventy percent chance of winning, with Jiang Mantian's cautious character, it is hard to imagine that he will take a risk.

And the gap between the national strength of Eastern Qi and Chu is too big, before the civil strife of the Han Dynasty, the Qi State can only live in the east to survive, what qualifications do they have to win the trust of Jiang Mantian?

The more Qi Ning thought about it, the more he felt that there were a lot of incredibles, but it was a pity that Jiang Mantian was dead, and such a secret, except for Jiang Mantian himself, I was afraid that no one else would know, Qi Ning also believed that even if Jiang Mantian was not dead, it would be difficult to ask the truth from this mouth.

Jiang Changfeng saw Jiang Mantian fall into the sea from a distance, and saw Jiang Mantian's body floating with the waves on the sea, smiled miserably, clenched the knife in his hand, his eyes were like ice, and he glanced at the sailors around him.

Some of the sailors had already said in a deep voice: "Put down your weapons!" ”

Jiang Changfeng shouted violently, an arrow rushed out, the big knife in his hand had already been slashed by a sailor, these sailors were well-trained, and they were not Jiang Changfeng's opponents when they fought alone, at this time, Jiang Changfeng slashed with a knife, and the sailor holding the knife in front took two steps back, and immediately rushed up from behind Several soldiers with spears, a few spears poked straight at Jiang Changfeng, Jiang Changfeng waved his knife and slashed, and shouted angrily: "Fight with them!" ”

Kong Sheng and the others didn't put down the knife, they could hear Jiang Changfeng's shouting, and some people were about to die and struggle, but suddenly saw a figure in the crowd rushing out, the knife flashed, the speed was extremely fast, and they only slashed towards Jiang Changfeng, Jiang Changfeng was caught off guard, and was forced to retreat again and again, but at this time, everyone saw clearly that the figure that suddenly rushed out was Wu Dalin beside Qi Ning.

Wu Dalin is a soldier who really came out of blood and fire, his knife skills do not have any shows, the actual combat is extremely strong, and he has experienced a hundred battles, and the combat experience is extremely rich, although Jiang Changfeng can also dance knives and guns, but in the face of such a fierce general, how can he resist it, I only feel that there are knife shadows everywhere in front of me, I don't know how to resist at all, I suddenly feel that the tiger's mouth is numb, and my hand is soft, but it is the big knife in Wu Dalin's hand that has been fiercely looked at the back of his knife, Jiang Changfeng took off the big knife, and before he had time to react, his neck was cold, The big knife in Wu Dalin's hand was already on his neck.

Kong Sheng and the others were shocked, Wu Dalin glanced at it, and said coldly: "Put down your weapons, wait for the Hou Ye to fall, and if you want to die, just come up!" ”

Kong Sheng and the others knew that the other party was not only outnumbered, but also had fierce generals like Wu Dalin, and if they wanted to resist at this time, it would undoubtedly be an egg hitting a stone, although they had been the Jiang family's henchmen for many years, but at this moment they knew that it would be futile to struggle, and Jiang Changfeng was also controlled, they looked at each other, and finally they were helpless, the weapons in their hands were thrown on the ground, and the sailors around them did not hesitate, and they rushed up, pressing Kong Sheng and others to the ground, and they were all controlled.
