Chapter 289: People who do great things are not as simple as you think
The moment Ding Li fell, tears welled up in Xu Wenqiang's eyes, he is not a ruthless person, although he can give up his emotions for big things, but how can Ding Li's relationship with him be comparable to ordinary emotions? However, at the critical moment, he still made his own choice, and he believed that his choice was right, because he was not thinking about himself alone, he was thinking about Du Yuesheng, Feng Jingyao, and thousands of people in the Green Gang.
"He's dying, let's go!" Seeing Ding Li, who fell to the ground and was almost dying, Xu Wenqiang said tiredly.
With his current skills and strength, even if he kills three Ding Li, he will not be so tired, and the reason why he is so tired now is because his heart is tired, and his heart has been filled with guilt and deep guilt from the moment he decided to kill Ding Li.
"Nope." Du Yuesheng suddenly stepped forward to stop him, and his tone was very resolute.
"What's wrong?" Xu Wenqiang was surprised when he saw Du Yuesheng's attitude.
"Big brother, don't you still know what Your Highness wants?" Du Yuesheng asked suddenly, he saw that Xu Wenqiang was a little silent, and he didn't seem to know the answer, so he opened his mouth and said, "It's loyalty, it's your loyalty, big brother!" ”
"My faithfulness? Isn't it enough for me to kill Ding Li to show my loyalty to His Highness? ”。 Xu Wenqiang was stunned for a moment, and said a little angrily, "Isn't this kind of loyalty enough?" ”。
"Yes, you killed Ding Li, but how did you kill it? You decided to kill Ding Li when Ding Li was about to make a move, not that Ding Li wanted to kill him as soon as he appeared, and what did you say when His Royal Highness asked Ding Li before, you said that he was imprisoned in the mansion. Therefore, even if you kill Ding Li now, why should you let His Highness see your determination and loyalty to kill Ding Li. Besides, you have only defeated him now, and he is seriously injured but not dead, how dare you tell His Highness that you killed him? Du Yuesheng glanced at Ding Li, who fell to the ground, stared at Xu Wenqiang coldly, and asked word by word.
They have come this far and have received the preliminary approval of the crown prince. Therefore, Du Yuesheng didn't want to make any mistakes in Xu Wenqiang, which would only make their efforts fall short.
"Isn't that enough?" Xu Wenqiang asked coldly, a bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes, he killed his brother, a brother who was born and died.
"Enough, enough!" Du Yuesheng replied affirmatively, "No matter what you do, when you decided to kill Ding Li just now, your loyalty was enough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has seen your performance, and he is very satisfied." ”
"And what do you mean?" Xu Wenqiang asked fiercely, "What do you want to do when you said this just now?" ”
"Big brother, you killed Ding Li, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already seen it, since you have made such a decision, let's make this matter more thorough, so that His Royal Highness will like you more and value you more." Du Yuesheng said, "Instead of just defeating him, there is no next move." If we have decided to do something, why should we do it thoroughly and perfectly? In this way, the people we do can also show their determination and attitude, and the people who watch will be happy and comfortable. ”
"What do you have to do to be thorough?" Xu Wenqiang asked.
He seemed to agree with Du Yuesheng's statement a little.
"Kill Ding Li, and then cut off his head and send it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's mansion to prove our determination, big brother, your determination." Du Yuesheng said in a resolute tone, and at the same time he took a knife and handed it to Xu Wenqiang.
Xu Wenqiang did not take the knife given to him by Ding Li, but looked at Du Yuesheng in front of him in a daze, he felt that he was a little too late to know the third Du Yuesheng. Back then, their brothers worked hard and established the current Green Gang, no matter how hard it was before, no matter how oppressed by foreign enemies, Du Yuesheng did not show such indifference as today, and killed his brothers by unscrupulous means for his future, but what happened to Du Yuesheng today?
Du Yuesheng knew what Xu Wenqiang was thinking, so he said lightly, "Big brother, we are no longer ruffians, we have already submitted to His Royal Highness the Prince, and our previous style of acting is already terrible. You may think that I should remember brotherhood and leave a whole corpse for Ding Li, but have you ever thought about it, if Wang Quan delivered the letter to that person yesterday, will he leave us a whole corpse in the future? ”。
"No, his methods of dealing with us will only be more cruel than the methods we use against him today, because the Ding Li you know has long since died, and he is now just for his own interests, for the sake of blessing?? A madman who became a devil with longevity. Du Yuesheng said angrily, "Otherwise, with our brother's ability, and with the credit of the Green Gang, Ding Li will serve His Royal Highness the Prince, as long as he participates in this battle against Tubo, how can he be a lieutenant or a lieutenant, such an official position can be placed in the county office, and he can be a county lieutenant." How many scholars in the Tang Dynasty went bankrupt for the imperial examination, and entered the court as officials for the sake of the glorious lintel? But how many people can really enter the imperial examination in high school and become an official? How many people can do the county lieutenant, county magistrate, or even the county order? Ding Li doesn't know a big word, except for brute force, a person who has nothing can be a county lieutenant or a captain, what is there to dissatisfaction with? ”
"He thinks that if he follows that person, he will be able to glorify his ancestors and become prosperous, but has he ever thought about it, is there a lack of people like him around that person?" Du Yuesheng said, "Big brother, be sober, it's not that Ding Li doesn't know this, it's just that he can't turn back, he likes the life of killing, and he likes Fu??" Shou ointment, for these things he is willing to betray our brother and let us die silently. Can't we think for ourselves at times like these? ”
was said by Du Yuesheng, Xu Wenqiang calmed down.
He analyzed carefully, thought about it a lot, and found that what Du Yuesheng said was not wrong at all, if Ding Li followed His Royal Highness the Prince, even if he was the most unlucky, he would be able to mix with the county lieutenant and county Cheng, it would be better than living in the Green Gang, or living with that person in fear, right? But why did Ding Li continue knowing this? There is only one answer, that is, Ding Li likes this kind of life, and he doesn't want to go back.
For a person who doesn't want to look back, he won't consider it if he has a beautiful life waiting for him.
"Third child, you're right, I'm too persistent." Half-loud, Xu Wenqiang spoke.
Hearing Xu Wenqiang's words, Feng Jingyao on the side was obviously relieved, he was afraid that Xu Wenqiang would not see through this and would have a discord with Du Yuesheng. So he was caught between the two of them, because he didn't know who to help. Judging from the current situation, he has to help Xu Wenqiang, because without Xu Wenqiang, there will be no his present, but in the long run, he will help Du Yuesheng, because from the mouth of the prince, he can know that Du Yuesheng's future development will be very high, much higher than him and Xu Wenqiang, like this, now when he hasn't gotten up, he should stammer, otherwise when he gains power in the future, it will be too late for you to stammer.
"Big brother, I just reminded you, or because you can see it, otherwise it's useless for me to say anything." Du Yuesheng said modestly, and handed the knife to Xu Wenqiang again.
This time, Xu Wenqiang did not hesitate, but took the knife very easily, strode in front of Ding Li, who was not yet dead, he grabbed Ding Li's hair with his left hand, and put the knife on Ding Li's neck.
Ding Li's bones are broken all over his body now, and he has no strength left, so he can only let Xu Wenqiang grab his hair and can't move.
Ding Li struggled hard, wanting to say something, but his throat just couldn't make a sound.
And Xu Wenqiang didn't give Ding Li a plan to speak, the blade in his hand gently slashed Ding Li's neck, and before Ding Li could scream, a stream of blood gushed out along the wound on his neck, and then Xu Wenqiang cut off Ding Li's head, handed it to his guard, and let the guard put it in a box.
After doing all this, Xu Wenqiang was already covered in blood, but his eyes were shining, and he obviously didn't have the guilt just now.
"Big brother, we still have to send the box to His Highness's mansion." Du Yuesheng said, "Why don't you let Mr. Feng go?" ”
Du Yuesheng asked Feng Jingyao to send Li Hong's head, not to send him, but to give Feng Jingyao a second chance to see Li Hong, he did this to give Feng Jingyao a lot of benefits, because Feng Jingyao saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the second time, as long as she can grasp the opportunity, maybe Feng Jingyao's future road will be a different situation, and it will be brighter than today's road.
Du Yuesheng does not know anyone in Li Hong's system, no matter how well he develops in the future, it is difficult to speak alone, he doesn't want such an ending, so he will deliberately cultivate the relationship between Feng Jingyao and Li Hong now, and let Feng Jingyao be his ally.
"Hmm." Xu Wenqiang thought about it, and did not refuse Du Yuesheng's proposal, he felt that Du Yuesheng's idea was good, if he sent it over in person, it might make the prince feel that he was going to invite merit again, and Feng Jingyao's identity was enough, and he was a scholar, so he was more suitable to do this, so he said to Feng Jingyao, "Then trouble you, Mr. Feng." ”
From today on, Xu Wenqiang is no longer the leader of the Green Gang, his identity has changed, and his attitude towards Feng Jingyao has also changed.
"This, Gang Master Xu, you're polite, this is what I should do." Feng Jingyao said to Xu Wenqiang that his attitude had also changed, and he was not as cordial as before, and said to Du Yuesheng, "Thank you Elder Du for your kindness." ”
Feng Jingyao knew very well what Du Yuesheng asked him to give away his head.
Du Yuesheng nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more, because he knew that Feng Jingyao understood what he meant, and he didn't want to break it now.
