Chapter 71: Pondering
Shang Xuan's face looked unimpressed, but in his heart, he was somewhat aroused by Zhao Di's self-confidence, he wanted to see how loyal Zhao Di's two disciples were, and he really didn't believe that he would not be able to take these two people.
Shang Xuan didn't think much about Zhao Di's two disciples at first, and the words just now were just to test and squeeze Zhao Di, just to see Zhao Di's reaction when he was angered by himself, but he didn't expect Zhao Di to still have a Zhizhu in his hand, and this expression made Shang Di a little tired.
Shang Xuan was very dissatisfied with Zhao Di's indifferent expression, because he found that since he came into contact with Zhao Di, it seemed that he had not really beaten Zhao Di once, which was definitely a challenge for Shang Di, who had always been conceited, and it could even be said to be an alternative provocation, so Shang Xuan secretly decided in his heart that he must defeat Zhao Di once, even once, and he wanted to see if Zhao Di could still maintain this light and breezy state after being dug into the corner by himself.
Although Zhao Di doesn't know the psychology of Shang, he knows the ambition of Shang, so he believes that Shang will never let go of Luda and Shi Qian.
Just like before, at the palace banquet, he sincerely called himself a brother, but when he turned his head here, he blatantly said in a warning tone that he wanted to snatch the talents on Liangshan.
This kind of person, you expect him to intercede with you, then you will definitely be played to death by him, so Zhao Di is not surprised that Shang Xun wants to dig his corner, on the contrary, he also wants to take this opportunity to try Shi Qian's loyalty, after all, Shi Qian This person will still be important to Zhao Di in the future, and it is good to be able to take the opportunity to test it, it is always much smaller than the loss of rebellion after it is really cultivated in the future.
As long as you have a pair of discerning eyes, you can find talents anywhere, and the cultivation of loyalty is much more difficult than cultivating a talent.
Although this world is the most particular about the hierarchy of etiquette and religion, the human heart is really not something that people can completely control.
Zhao Di saw the betrayal of life and death in another world, of course, he would not think that the etiquette, hierarchy, and system of this world could completely control people's hearts, so he also needed to constantly pass various tests to test the times.
You can try to think of the good in the general direction, but you have to take all the factors into account in your actions, even the darkest side of the human heart.
Zhao Di is definitely not a good person in the real sense, if he is a good person, then he will not be able to become a special service elite walking in the dark world in the previous life, so he has seen the ugliness of human nature, and has also witnessed the beauty of human nature, he is just a person between black and white, with rational thinking and execution.
Therefore, Zhao Di can trust Shi Qian in the general direction and give him some tests in stages, which is a very normal behavior.
He also believed that if Shi Qian really understood what he taught him, such a test would be nothing to him, which was the reason for Zhao Di's confidence.
As for Luda, Zhao Di is still very confident in him, if Shang Xun only relies on interests to win him over, he will definitely be disappointed.
Shang Xuan didn't know enough about Zhao Di, let alone the temperament of Luda and Shi Qian, so he wanted to find himself bored.
It was only after his subordinates dug deep into the situation of Zhao Di and Liang Shan that he knew that Zhao Di had accepted two disciples, Lu Da and Shi Qian, and he didn't even know that Lu Da had completed the feat of attacking the Longquan Army by himself.
On the dragon boat here, Zhao Di and Shang Xuan were secretly fighting each other, and Gongsun Sheng on the boat was also trying his best to persuade Song Jiang and them.
Gongsun Sheng explained the situation of his people to Song Jiang and them one by one, and at the same time made Shang Xuan's requirements clear, hoping that Song Jiang and them could trust their judgment.
However, Song Jiang and the others were a little skeptical, after all, everything was Gongsun Sheng's inference, and all of this was not accurate, first of all, why could Zhao Di unite with the King of Shang, after all, Zhao Di's identity was just a sinner;
Therefore, Song Jiang and the others still hope to be able to negotiate with the king of Shang, after all, it is difficult for them to accept the result of being the house slave of the king of Shang, even if the king of Shang is the prince of the real power of the great Shang.
Once you are a slave, you are a slave for generations, unless you can get the master's gift and take the initiative to break the slave contract, you can regain your freedom.
The identity of a house slave can never be agreed to casually, the slave contract in this world is not as simple as white and black, but an oath with a bloodline contract, once repeated, you can directly use the bloodline contract to punish you.
Of course, Gongsun Sheng didn't want to be a slave, but things had come to this point, if he didn't want to die, I was afraid that this slave contract really had to be signed, because he had already seen that the king of Shang just wanted to accept them as slaves, and it was precisely because he saw through this that he would be sure in his heart that his previous inference was not wrong, and the king of Shang definitely had the means to destroy them all.
This is also the reason why Gongsun Sheng tried his best to convince Song Jiang of them, because he didn't want to die.
Song Jiang and these people still have a fluke mentality, but Gongsun Sheng didn't dare to have a little luck, after Song Jiang and the others went out, he pulled his own people with a serious face and repeatedly told them, never to provoke the king of Shang, this is definitely the way to die.
In fact, what Gongsun Sheng regrets the most is why he didn't recognize the situation clearly, with Zhao Di appearing in Liangshan twice, easily stirring up the wind and clouds on Liangshan, how could he make such a simple mistake, let them easily drill Confucius to come over to intercept this batch of Taixing stones, he should have thought that there was definitely a problem here.
It's a pity that everyone was dizzy, including himself, who didn't see the situation clearly at all, so he was easily planted into this big pit, and was so miserable by Zhao Di.
At this time, Gongsun Sheng even had a little fear of Zhao Di in his heart, this person was so terrifying that he was able to calculate the behavior of all of them without a bad score.
They were smug before, thinking that Zhao Di was stupid, but they didn't think that they were a group of real fools in the eyes of others.
Gongsun Sheng carefully recalled all the information of Zhao Di that he came into contact with, and found that Zhao Di seemed to be at ease whether it was in the hands of Li Gang or on Liangshan, and he played everything in the palm of his hand between the clouds and rain, especially how long this person had been to Minxing, and it seemed that he had formed an alliance with the King of Shang, and now recalled the situation of Zhao Di standing next to the King of Shang, and the sergeant guarding behind the two of them seemed to also guard Zhao Di, which shows that Zhao Di and King Shang are both masters, which shows that the relationship between Zhao Di and King Shang is not master and slave, that is to say, Zhao Di has achieved an equal status with King Shang。
There are some things that will only be discovered when you think about them, and you will suddenly find the horror in them.
