Chapter 449: Mystery (First Update)
(Today's two more, this is the first one ~ please click generously!) )
The shouts of killing outside were getting closer and closer, and there were people shouting and killing, some people wailing and falling, the sound of iron arrows breaking through the air when they left the string, and the sound of gold and iron colliding when swords intersected.
But no matter how noisy it was outside, the people in the bamboo house seemed to have that meditative heart, lighting candles and holding scrolls in their hands, floating out of the world.
Xun Da Weng looked at the old man sitting behind the candle flame, there was no worry on his face, he believed that since the old father did not say anything, it was enough to show that the situation was far from being as strict as he expected.
Even if the matter is temporarily beyond the control, the old father will definitely have a way to control the situation again.
Just like the situation a few months ago when he learned that Kong Erye had died in battle.
"You mean, the peacock girl who is the leader in the group of people outside?" After reading the third volume in his hand, Kong Zhongman softened his slightly sour eyes, then gently leaned back on the chair behind him, took out a fist-sized square box on the table in front of him, took out two ice chips from it, closed his eyes and put them on his eyes.
"Exactly." Xun Daweng couldn't hear what the old man was asking about, so he didn't dare to show the slightest affection or dislike in his answer, and asked to hang his head in response.
"She brought the news of Zhongyi's death that day, and I thought she would have nowhere else to rely on since then......" Speaking of this, Kong Zhongman sighed, as if he was extremely disappointed in the betrayal of the peacock.
"I'll do it, please rest assured." Xun Daweng nodded and replied, the so-called "tiger poison does not eat children", how can a noble father say such righteous words to kill relatives? As the personal guard of the old man, "one point is clear" is the most useful and pleasing ability he has learned over the years.
"I also heard that Flower Hate Willow was attacked in the city yesterday?" The peacock matter is just one of many complicated things for Kong Zhongman, compared with the peacock's betrayal, he is more interested in the attack on the flower hate willow, although he already knew that this matter was done by the people around him, but since the other party intends to try the depth of the flower hate willow on his behalf, he will not say it, and the right to not receive this "favor" sent by him.
"Five people surrounded it, and they were all killed with one move." Xun Daweng's heart moved slightly, but he still said truthfully about the situation he had mastered.
"Oh, it looks like you're really good at it!" Kong Zhongman had a slight smile on his face, "Don't forget to appease those people's families afterwards." ”
"This ......" Xun Daweng was slightly stunned, he already knew that what he did would not be able to hide from his father, and he already wanted to accept the punishment in his heart, but he didn't expect to hear the word "appeasement".
"People do things for us, so naturally we can't just die...... Do things carefully, don't chill people's hearts! Waving his hand, Kong Zhongman signaled Xun Daweng not to ask anymore as he spoke, Xun Daweng understood, asked for instructions, and saw that there was nothing else, so he retreated to the door to guard first.
"How does Wu Gongzi see this?" Kong Zhongman didn't seem to notice that there was no one else in the bamboo house at this time except himself, he still closed his eyes, and the two thin pieces of ice had melted most of them at this time, from the original size of copper coins, slowly becoming smaller to the shape of melon seeds.
What's even more incredible is that he is not Xun Daweng, but "Wu Gongzi...... Who is Wu Gongzi?
Although Wu Gongzi never showed up, he still replied with a chuckle when he heard Kong Zhongman's words.
"Dream of killing thirteen swords, at least six swords were used by him, but it is not necessarily a one-move kill."
Kong Zhongman was not annoyed after hearing this, as if the other party said something completely different from Xun Daweng's expectations, his face smiled, and said with a smile: "I have heard some things about you and Hua Hate Liu, and I really have some nostalgia when I see it today......
"It's not a big deal." The other party snorted coldly, noncommittal to Kong Zhongman's words, but his words couldn't hide the meaning of intentional understatement.
"When you came earlier, you said that you brought a sentence from Mr. Pei, I don't know what it is...... Is it possible to say at this point? The reason why he was polite to the other party was because this person was a disciple of "Mr. Pei", and Kong Zhongman was polite to him, most likely because he didn't look at the monk's face and looked at the Buddha's face, but just gave Mr. Pei face.
With Mr. Pei, he had a cooperation a long time ago, although he had to stop due to some unexpected things, but it did not leave any unhappiness in the impression of both parties. This kind of psychology can probably be somewhat similar to the way businessmen act, even if they have been fooled by each other and out of the basket, but as long as the price is fair this time, business can still continue to talk.
At this time, when Kong Zhongman was in trouble, the other party could take the initiative to help, which was enough to see his sincerity. Of course, Kong Zhongman naturally knows the importance of Raozhou, and saving Raozhou at this moment is just to keep a "sharp knife" stabbed in the back for the person behind Mr. Pei.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than taking advantage of each other, which everyone knows, and it is a little philistine to say it, and it is even more "the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water" if you don't say it.
originally thought that the other party should also say that sentence at this time, but Kong Zhongman did not expect the other party to refuse.
"To put it bluntly, this is a pleading sentence." The person known as "Wu Gongzi" seemed to sense Kong Zhongman's unhappiness, and explained with a chuckle: "My husband has some friendship with you, and he also has some friendship with that flower hate willow, and now that his two friends are going to fight, he naturally has to maneuver around it, and if he can not fight, he will not fight...... So, it's just a plea. ”
"If both sides are friends, then Mr. Pei has said that if you can't persuade friends on both sides, who should you help and who you won't help when the time comes?" Kong Zhongman touched the square handkerchief placed aside, wiped his eyes gently, opened his eyes and took a deep breath with great satisfaction, and then asked.
"That's what my husband said." Although he couldn't see Wu Gongzi, Kong Zhongman guessed that he nodded when he said this. He didn't seem to care about it on his face, but in fact, he was holding his breath and paying attention to what kind of result the other party was giving.
"Naturally, it's for you." Wu Gongzi had no intention of selling Guan Zi, he knew that the reason why his husband said this was entirely because the person who carried this message was himself, even if the other party said something like "not helping each other", but when he saw Hua Hate Liu, he still couldn't suppress his anger and would do it...... In this case, it is better to give it to Kong Zhongman in advance, whether it is to sell favors to others, or to make him feel relieved, in short, there will be no big problems.
"That's fine." Kong Zhongman said with a slight sigh of relief in his heart. In any case, being able to get such an answer is far beyond Kong Zhongman's expectations, in his opinion, the worst result is to help Hua hate Liu and not help himself, but he does not think that the possibility of this situation is too high, which can be heard from the words of this Wu Gongzi; And the most likely situation is that the "two don't help each other", at this time, it is the fairest one for the flower to hate the willow, or for Kong Zhongman, in fact, Kong Zhongman is happy to see this happen, after all, he is not afraid of the flower hate the willow.
What he heard now was the words "help himself", although on the surface he seemed to nod his head with satisfaction, but in his heart he still couldn't help but feel a sudden surprise, and he couldn't understand why the other party would choose to help him - you know, even if Raozhou was saved, it could only be saved for a while, and when Song Changgong's army forcibly attacked, all he could do was to use the millions of people in a state to block the speed of the other party's advance with blood and corpses.
In the face of megatrends, opportunism is not feasible.
Of course, Kong Zhongman also understands that the war is not only burning in his own place, Guan and Rao are staring at Song Changgong, and according to the latest news he knows, Song Jixu has already begun to prepare to attack Weizhou, so it seems that maybe Xiao Shurang may not be able to withstand it within the year, and become the first one of the forces to perish - this is the conclusion made after excluding his own Raozhou and Dixun's Guanzhou, if Guan and Rao are counted, maybe the two families are faster than Xiao Shurang, right?
The most unpredictable is Yang Wu of Xizhou, it seems that he has always been holding his troops still? The only few big moves were just a covenant similar to the "offensive and defensive alliance" with Huazhou and Huaizhou, and it seems that he has never heard of any movements of his army?
If you talk about Xizhou, you can't help but go back and talk about Song Changgong, maybe there is something wrong with Yang Wu? Otherwise, the two families would not be so close without a little military friction...... Looking at the situation throughout the country, it seems that the ones who are fighting are also in the sphere of influence of Guan and Rao here and Xiao Shurang in the south, right?
Faintly, there seems to be some mystery in this......
Kong Zhongman shook his head slightly, shook these things that were not his business for the time being, and began to think about why that Mr. Pei chose to help him at this time--however, because the previous sense of mystery had been deeply engraved in his mind, he felt a little powerless when he thought about other things at this time.
This situation is rare for him, Kong Zhongman himself only thinks that this is affected by what happened tonight, although he is not worried about the final outcome of the matter, but how to deal with Hua Hate Liu after the result has always been a difficult thing for him to decide.
If it is said to kill, except for a little personal feelings, in fact, Kong Zhongman is not worried about anything else, because he doesn't know, so it doesn't matter, he doesn't know what "heaven's curse" is, even if he knows, he doesn't believe that someone can let hundreds of thousands or millions of people be buried for the sake of one person's death; If Hua Hates Liu is immortal, first of all, it is certain that he will definitely not choose to work with him and use the situation of the Xi Dynasty he is in to reverse the situation before the Xi Dynasty, and no one seems to be as interested as himself...... Hua Hates Liu will probably continue to oppose himself, right?
Such a trade-off, regardless of other interests that concern oneself, is not difficult to decide.
"Oh, yes." Just when Kong Zhongman was about to make up his mind to kill Hua Hate Liu, the words of that Wu Gongzi couldn't help but make him slightly stunned: "My husband said that Hua Hate Liu can't kill this person." ”
Why can't you kill? He himself was surprised when he heard this, and he remembered that his husband had said this: "It has not happened before that the whole city should be buried together...... If you want to kill, I can only kill him, maybe one day when you can kill him, you can also kill him...... But don't let those who are boring themselves be killed. ”
Laughing at yourself? He didn't think so, but he thought it would be an extremely interesting thing if Hua Hate Willow died at the hands of that ordinary person.
