Chapter 379: Xiao He's internal strife
My brothers and sisters, Happy New Year, all the best, good family, and good luck to each and every one of you!
Han Mo thought that when he said this, Xiao Lingzhi would definitely retort sharply, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sound from Xiao Lingzhi, if it weren't for the fact that he could still hear Xiao Lingzhi's breathing clearly, Han Mo thought that Xiao Lingzhi had left.
"Strategist, you...... You okay? After waiting for a while, seeing that Xiao Lingzhi had not spoken, Han Mo couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Lingzhi's voice was very soft, "Han Mo, why did you save me many times?" That...... There's always a reason, right? β
"Maybe I'm a kind person...... Or maybe I'm a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade in my bones......! Han Mo smiled and said, "Or, God really sent me down to protect you, you...... Don't believe me? β
Xiao Lingzhi didn't speak immediately, just pondered for a moment before she said quietly: "If you just save me once, there can be many explanations, but ...... You've saved me a few times, perhaps...... I was really sent by God to protect me......! β
Han Mo was a little surprised to see that Xiao Lingzhi, who had always been extremely cold and handsome, suddenly said such gentle words.
After a period of silence, Xiao Lingzhi said softly: "Han Mo, do you really think that the Xiao He family is really an alliance like an iron fight?" Don't you think you'...... Xiao He's two families really don't distinguish each other? β
Han Mo frowned slightly, but in the dark, Xiao Lingzhi couldn't see his expression clearly.
"I'm afraid it's not just me, everyone in the world knows that the Xiao He family has been in-laws for several generations, and they have advanced and retreated together in the court, which can be regarded as an iron-clad alliance...... Could it be that this is all just a faΓ§ade? β
Xiao Lingzhi sighed lightly: "Then let me tell you, the Xiao family doesn't know that the He family is involved with the people of the Wind Country in private, and ......!" He said this, but did not continue.
"The military advisor seems to have scruples!" Han Mo said slowly.
Although it can be regarded as a common tribulation now, but what the two represent, after all, are two different Yan Kingdom families, Xiao Lingzhi has something inconvenient to say, and Han Mo can also understand it.
However, obedient and obedient, although Xiao Lingzhi only said a word lightly, it made Han Mo understand that the relationship between the two families of Xiao He may not be as harmonious as it seems, let alone unbreakable, and there seems to be a lot of rift within the two major families as an alliance.
"There are some things that I don't need to say, with your cleverness, you should also see a few points." Xiao Lingzhi said calmly: "The alliance between the two Xiao He families is not because the two families have any special feelings, it's just that ...... If you want to keep the status and interests of the two families in Yan Kingdom, the two sides can only join forces, and the political alliance based on in-laws ......! β
Han Mo said: "It is not easy for the family to live in Yan Kingdom, and it is even more difficult if you want to be glorious for a long time...... The nine great families of Yan Country have been able to crisscross Yan Country for a hundred years, which is already an outlier in history...... But it also has a great deal to do with the alliances between the major families...... Because of the support of the He family, the Xiao family is strong in the Yan Kingdom, and the He family is also able to survive in the Yan Kingdom for a long time because of the protection of the Xiao family...... The alliance is really a huge benefit for ...... two families! β
Xiao Lingzhi said: "But one thing you and I know very well is that none of the nine major families of the Yan Kingdom is really willing to surrender to the banners of other families, and every family, whether bright or dark, wants to dominate the Yan Kingdom...... Including your Han family! β
Han Mo smiled: "This ...... Seems a bit rebellious, right? β
"Hypocrisy!"
"It's called prudence!" Han Mo smiled.
"I don't know about the rest of the Han family, but with you Han Mo here, the Han family has become the most dishonest family in my Yan Kingdom." Xiao Lingzhi said softly: "The Ye and Wu families rebelled, if it weren't for you Han Mo opening Ligu Pass, I still can't judge who won and who lost that war in the end." The Ximen family set up an ambush at the night banquet, if it weren't for the fact that you had already ambushed people, I don't know what the current political situation of Yan Guo is...... The Nine Great Families, the three families that have been annihilated, their downfall, more or less have something to do with you...... Now that you are actively dealing with the He family, do you say that you are an extremely dangerous person...... In my opinion, He Xuezhi used such a trap to trap you, if everyone knew about it, maybe many people would applaud! β
"If the military advisor is not here, but outside, will he be happy to know that I am trapped here?" Han Mo asked with a smile.
"Nature." Xiao Lingzhi immediately said, "You ...... Sooner or later, you will be the great enemy of the Xiao family, and you ...... Another big bastard, I just wish you were stuck here and never got out! β
Han Mo sighed: "The military advisor is a little lacking in confidence when he says this, I personally think that if the military advisor is really outside and knows that I am trapped here, he will definitely be very worried......!" β
"Self-righteous!" Xiao Lingzhi took a sip.
"But what the military advisor said is right, if everyone knows that I am in such a predicament, there are many people who shout loudly...... Your Xiao family is naturally very happy! β
Xiao Lingzhi was silent for a moment before she said, "I think the happiest person may not be the Xiao family, maybe it is...... Royal! β
"Royal?"
"Of course. If you really died in Yichun County, whether there is evidence or not, your Han family must think that the He family did this...... Han Xuandao may be able to hold on, but your father will never stop there, and the Han family will definitely face a conflict with the He family at that time...... And the royal family, what they are most happy to see is the death match between the families. Xiao Lingzhi said calmly: "Since the collapse of the three major families of Ye, Wu, and Ximen, the political pattern of the Yan Kingdom has changed...... The peace that had existed for many years no longer existed, and the remaining major families began to accelerate the development of their strength...... Because no one wants to be the next defeated family, everyone wants to be the last family to dominate the Yan Kingdom! β
"The Xiao family is naturally the most confident, and they must think that they are the final winners...... However, the He family, who is attached to the Xiao family, may not be willing to be subordinate...... To build such a hidden underground labyrinth, the He family naturally has a lot of thoughts......! Han Mo said lightly: "Secretly hiding the food and weapons and armor here, and doing it without knowing it, when you really want to raise an army, everything has ...... The labyrinth of the He family, I'm afraid that's what it was planned! β
"Han Mo, it seems that you are really smart!" Xiao Lingzhi sighed lightly: "The so-called alliance, in the final analysis, is a combination of two or several different interest groups, and the purpose of their alliance is to safeguard everyone's collective interests...... Once the distribution of interests between the two sides begins to be unbalanced, an alliance based on interests will naturally unconsciously give rise to contradictions...... Perhaps the contradictions will not be exposed, but it is undeniable that it is impossible for any group in the alliance to sacrifice its own interests to fulfill the ...... of other groups! β
Han Mo said: "I understand that the combination of your Xiao family and the He family is actually two interest groups...... Now that the political pattern has changed, the major families are ready to move, and the interests of the Xiao He family have changed unconsciously. Every family thinks that it is now the time to dominate the Yan Kingdom, the Xiao family thinks, and the He family naturally wants to, but ...... The so-called monopoly can always only be one family on top, so that the ultimate goal of the Xiao He family becomes the same, which breeds the contradictions between the two families...... An irreconcilable contradiction! β
"But you should know more clearly that before the other families have not fallen, the alliance between the two Xiao He families will never break down on the surface, because it is not in line with the fundamental interests of the two families, and it will really tear the face, that is after the other families have all perished, before that, the two families will still be closely united, seek common ground while reserving small differences, and maintain the current alliance status as much as possible......!" Xiao Lingzhi said slowly: "Although it is impossible for the two sides to tear their faces on the bright side at present, but ...... In order to face the showdown sooner or later, the intrigue between the two families is by no means simpler than any other force......! β
Han Mo nodded slightly, Xiao Lingzhi's words really broke the mysterious relationship between Xiao He's two families.
"The military advisor came to Yichun this time, and it seems that he has no official business, and now it seems that it is to monitor the He family and find out some information about the He family's lair?"
Xiao Lingzhi said softly: "Maybe there is something you have discovered a little ......!" β
"What?"
"Behind the He family, there are high-ranking people hiding." Xiao Lingzhi said slowly: "That person is very deep, Taishi doesn't know how to know that in the dark place of the He family in Yichun, there is a strong figure, because some of the things that the He family does in secret are tightly knit and ingenious, and the Taishi believes that there is no such character ...... the He family at present!" β
Han Mo squinted his eyes slightly.
He understands that the person Xiao Lingzhi said is the one who had a battle with Yan Xueji, and now it seems that the He family is assisted by the Guigu Gatekeeper, which is hidden from even the Xiao family, but for some reason, the old fox of the Xiao family felt the clues, so he sent Xiao Lingzhi to inquire about the news.
"Now, can you find out who that person is?" Han Mo asked.
Xiao Lingzhi was silent for a while before she said, "I don't know more than you, actually...... Since I entered Yichun County, the He family has guarded against me everywhere, and I don't have a good chance to find out the origin of that person! β
"I don't know much." Han Mo smiled faintly and said, "It's just that the Xiao family is strong, even if the He family has one more person, why should you be afraid?" β
Xiao Lingzhi said: "The Xiao family has the power that the He family is difficult to achieve, if you find out who the person behind the He family is, the Taishi will use all the tricks to subdue that person under the Xiao family, at that time, the Xiao family is even more powerful, maybe there are some things that cannot be completed, with the help of that person, it can be successfully completed!" β
Han Mo said lightly: "Impossible things? So what's that? Destroy other families and kill kings and usurp the throne? β
Xiao Lingzhi did not answer.
"Strategist, since you are so dedicated to the Xiao family, why did you tell me these secrets today?" Han Mo asked calmly: "As a member of the Xiao family, you shouldn't tell a person from the Han family about Xiao He's discord......!" β
"What about telling you?" Xiao Lingzhi said lightly: "Do you think you can still get out of this underground labyrinth?" There is no food, no water, and you don't know what the layout of the underground labyrinth is, even if you have the strength to find a way out of this labyrinth, I think you will ...... out of lack of energy before you find the exit! She didn't say the last two words, but Han Mo naturally understood what they meant.
With no food, no water, no light source, is there really a way to find an exit and escape this catastrophe in this underground labyrinth like Spider King?
