Chapter 85: Kindness
On the other side, Zhao Di and his entourage spent more than ten days driving the empty building boat, and finally arrived at the Taixing Domain, the building boat directly under the banner of the king of Shang, and Wen Zhong came forward to invite, Shi Lang received the news and quickly brought a team of people to meet him.
Zhao Di asked Wen Zhong to invite Shi Lang to board the ship alone, and met Shi Lang in the cabin hall.
The iron-blooded momentum exuded by Shi Lang alone is far more impressive than Li Gang's official authority, even Zhao Di has to use his skills to fight, this is the momentum that a commander in the army should have, the kind of self-confidence condensed by a hundred battles is far from being comparable to ordinary people, Shi Lang at this time is obviously a little unreasonable, so he didn't dare to be careless, the momentum on his body was not restrained, just to deter Wen Zhong, a group of big business generals.
After all, when he entered the tiger's den alone, even a commander like Shi Lang did not dare to be careless, and even carried the strength in his body and secretly guarded.
After Zhao Di settled down, he got up and said with a smile: "After more than ten years, Uncle Shi Lang has always been good, and the little nephew Meng Lang invited Uncle Shi to come over without saying hello, and asked Uncle Shi not to be surprised!"
Well?
Shi Lang saw Zhao Di get up from the main seat, and was suspicious for a while, and Zhao Di called himself uncle, and he didn't know why, and looked at Zhao Di's appearance carefully, but his face was very raw, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, his thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said suspiciously: "Little brother?"
Zhao Di was not surprised that Shi Lang did not recognize him at a glance, after all, he had not seen him for more than ten years, and his appearance had already changed greatly, and he searched for the appearance of his cheap father in the memory of 'Zhao Di', and found that his appearance was not similar to the other party, his cheap prince father was a square Chinese face, with a righteous face, he could not be said to be ugly, but he was not beautiful, his appearance did not follow him, Zhao Di's face tended to be soft melon seed face, fair skin, handsome and extraordinary, Even when Zhao Di himself first crossed over, he felt that this face could not be ravaged by those soldiers in the army, maybe it was his abolished 'prince' identity that was shocked, otherwise it might be really difficult to survive until now, Zhao Di felt that his appearance might be more like a cheap old lady he had never met, and he was really a little white face who could eat with his face.
Therefore, Zhao Di smiled and said: "Uncle Shi seems to not remember his little nephew at all, so I don't know if Uncle Shi still remembers the article 'Thirteen Demands of the Strong Army'?"
"Strong army thirteen wants" is Shi Lang at the request of Zhao Huan to write down the law of military innovation, but this article is very secret, only the Great Song Dynasty prince Zhao Hu has seen it, although the military innovation at that time was just germinated and directly stranded, but this article is not Zhao Huan's secret collection, sometimes will be a few words to Zhao Di when he was a child, so this matter is only known to Zhao Di, Zhao He and Shi Lang, outsiders have nowhere to know.
After receiving this reminder from Zhao Di, Shi Lang's face changed slightly, and then his eyes narrowed slightly, obviously he had faintly understood Zhao Di's identity in his heart, but he couldn't completely determine Zhao Di's identity, so he could only say tentatively: "But Di Shizi?"
Zhao Di smiled and nodded: "It's the little nephew." ”
After Shi Lang confirmed Zhao Di's identity, he was still full of doubts in his heart, Zhao Di had been serving his sentence in the Qiongxing Star Domain, and his identity was a sinner, how could he suddenly come to the Taixing Star Domain, and he was also mixed up with the people of the Great Shang Dynasty, he wondered: "How did the prince come here?"
Zhao Di looked at Shi Lang with a smile and said jokingly: "It seems that Uncle Shi is planning to catch the little nephew and go back to receive the reward?"
Shi Lang faced Zhao Di's jokes, his thick eyebrows raised slightly, obviously hearing Zhao Di's sarcasm and feeling a little harsh, but he quickly calmed down his emotions and said to Zhao Di: "The last general is the assassin of Taizhou, he only knows Taizhou affairs, and he has no right to interfere in foreign affairs." ”
Obviously, his attitude is very obvious, his position is the Taizhou Assassin History, and Zhao Di's service in Qiongxing is not under his jurisdiction, so he will not embarrass Zhao Di, and his surrender to Zhao Di also means that he respects Zhao Di's status as a son.
This answer is too flat, obviously not the answer that Zhao Di wants, but Zhao Di is not in a hurry, he sat back on the main seat with a smile, raised his hand and pointed to the chair opposite, and said: "Shi Tingshi is really upright, but this time this king came over to talk to Shi Tingshi about Taizhou's affairs." ”
Zhao Di's statement suddenly made Shi Lang hesitate, obviously he didn't want to get involved in the royal family's family affairs, he had already put his attitude obviously, but Zhao Di did not let him go, and aggressively said that he wanted to meddle in Taizhou affairs, which made him feel a little unhappy in his heart.
Zhao Di has been demoted to a third-class sinner, and the body of a sinner is still delusional to climb with himself, is it a little too ignorant.
However, Shi Lang glanced at Wen Zhong, who was standing behind Zhao Di with a respectful face, and suddenly felt a little alert in his heart, when he came up, he had already seen boxes of goods on the ship, and those goods Shi Lang was very familiar with, because the boxes were marked with the official seal of Taizhou Mansion, and those must be the Taixing stones that were robbed by the bandits, and it seemed that this Taitai Xingshi was taken back by the king of Shang. It's just that why the recaptured Taixing Stone has to be transported back to Taixing, and the person who came forward to talk to him turned out to be the prince of the Prince's Mansion who had disappeared for more than ten years.
Therefore, Shi Lang forcibly suppressed the trace of unhappiness in his heart, but lowered his posture and arched his hand again: "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Prince of the World commands, but please make it clear!"
The smile on Zhao Di's face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and his face was replaced by a cold and gloomy sneer, and he sneered: "Okay, very good." Shi Lang, you really deserve to be a great talent who can rise all the way in the officialdom, then there is no need for me to hide it with you, this king needs your allegiance now, you don't know if you will agree. ”
Zhao Di didn't mean to discuss, a question was directly said in an affirmative tone, it was completely a persecutive tone, which meant asking whether you want to live or die?
Zhao Di has been carefully observing the changes in Shi Lang's expression, and he is also thinking about the weight of his cheap father's kindness in the other party's mind, but as Zhao Di expected, the kindness in the past really did not have much weight, and the other party was very decisive to repay this kindness in a neutral way, that kind of performance was too decisive, which was completely without any hesitation, which also explained the other party's attitude.
Zhao Di actually doesn't care about Shi Lang's final choice, what he cares about is Shi Lang's inner change, Shi Lang's unhesitating decision is the real reason for Zhao Di's disappointment, which shows that the other party doesn't care about the past kindness, since the other party doesn't care, then why should Zhao Di care about the other party, the two sides are kind, and then they are strangers, and Zhao Di will naturally not have any psychological burden on him.
If Shi Lang could show some struggle, Zhao Di would still have a little scruples, and now Zhao Di would not need to have any scruples.
