Under the sun

The sun is scorching and cloudless.

It was a sweltering 35-degree day, and the big fireball was hanging in the sky, pouring heat and ultraviolet rays on the world. Despite the sea breeze, Liang Jingmo still felt that his clothes were sticky and full of sweat.

But even so, he still stood in the sun with an umbrella, looking down at the churning waves under his feet. Under the sun, the blue water is framed with a dazzling gold edge, which is majestic and has a bit of a gorgeous feeling. Liang Jingmo's eyes followed the undulations of the waves, but he was thinking about something else in his heart.

"By this point, he should have settled the matter, right?" He thought.

The one he was thinking about was naturally Xiang Nanxing, who should still be in the Nangong family at this time. At this time, several days have passed since the night when the other party left, and according to normal calculations, Xiang Nanxing should have been in contact with the Nangong family three days ago at the latest, no matter how much he tossed and turned, there should have been results yesterday. Even if it's the worst outcome, he should have heard about it at this point.

Because before this, he had already contacted the host of Xifeng Kingdom, "Black Cat", Qiu Banxia, and asked her to go over there to undertake possible "games", and at the same time, it could be regarded as a response to Xiang Nanxing. Although the Nangong family can be called the Longtan Tiger's Den, with the strength of Qiu Banxia and the energy behind the identity of "host", if she notices that something is wrong in time, it is not impossible to bring people out. And even if something happens, it will be difficult for the Nangong family to control a host, she can at least get in touch with Liang Jingmo and inform the situation in time.

However, until now, although he sent messages to Qiu Banxia every day, he had not received any response from the other party.

This certainly does not bode well.

"The worst result is that Xiang Nanxing's plan fails, and at the same time, there is an accident with Qiu Banxia. In my previous prediction, the Nangong family was the least likely to make this step. Because this is not only a matter of destroying a young man, but also directly offending Xifeng Kingdom, the consequences may be quite tricky. That's true, but there's another thing I couldn't predict. ”

Liang Jingmo looked at the endless sea water under his feet, as well as the blank sea and sky line in the distance, and sighed deeply.

"Xifeng Kingdom chose to be chaotic in such a time, who would have expected it."

At this time, he was on the vast sea, heading in the direction of Xifeng Kingdom. The private cruise ship he was on was called the "Golden Bird", which was painted with a layer of golden yellow paint on the outside, with various patterns and patterns, magnificent, and the interior color scheme was extremely luxurious, making no secret of the nouveau riche taste of the owner. Theoretically, it could accommodate up to 100 passengers at a time, but at this point, there were only a dozen people on board. This number of people is obviously a little too small compared to the large space on the ship, and some people like to stay in their own rooms and not come out, which makes it seem that the rest of the place is empty.

Liang Jingmo had been holding an umbrella on this deck and watching the sea for a long time, and no one disturbed him. He sometimes even felt like he was alone on the boat.

But thanks to this situation, he finally had some time to relax a little and sort out some of the things he had done so far. After all, before this, he had been dealing with the troublesome "Four Princesses" and the hosts almost all the time, and even he felt a little tired.

At this time, calm down and think carefully, your previous judgment may be wrong.

"The information at that time came entirely from Xiang Nanxing's own description, although that guy is usually very observant, but it is not incomprehensible that his girlfriend was taken away in front of him, and there were some misjudgments in a state of disorder." Liang Jingmo held his chin and said to himself, "If Nangong Tai's performance is really as he described, then the position may be a little loose, so you can't fight for it." But only if everything is true. Based on Xiang Nanxing's state at that time, it cannot be ruled out that he would project his inner desires onto the object of observation, in which case he may not have noticed it himself, but he would subconsciously add fuel to it. ”

Liang Jingmo shook his head.

"And on the other hand, my prediction of Mrs. Nangong is a little too bold. I have checked Xiang Yun's situation, ten years ago, when she broke into Xifeng and faced the host, her identity was indeed a 'Shura girl' who was good at assassination techniques, and her style and fighting skills were quite similar to the legendary Nangong family. Moreover, the Shura woman is said to have been seriously injured in that battle and then disappeared, which is also consistent with the information that Mrs. Nangong closed her door afterward. ”

"But even if as I predicted, Lady Nangong is the 'Shura Girl' herself, that doesn't mean how deep her relationship with Xiang Yun is after experiencing a major injury. Moreover, even if the two are really old friends who have a relationship, it doesn't mean that she will project her friendship with Xiang Yun onto Xiang Nanxing......"

Anyway, what did you think at the time? Why didn't he try to win it over with a more conservative approach? ”

Liang Jingmo shook his head bitterly, raised his hand and knocked his head, but he also knew that no matter what he thought at this time, it would be useless. In retrospect, his reaction was a bit strange, but if he had to do it all over again, he was sure he would still follow the thought that flashed through his mind at that moment.

That's what he's always done. After all, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't predict all the situations, just like a Go player can only see the changes within a few moves at most, and he can only rely on feelings to predict the overall situation in the long run, which is the "intuition of victory and defeat".

Liang's previous experience had given him confidence in his "instinct to win", but now it seems that his smug skills have gone wrong this time. The reality may be different from what he predicted, but the Nangong family finally made a move, not only getting rid of the young people who got in the way, but also taking the opportunity of Xifeng's civil strife to get rid of the host who was in the way in the process.

"Of course, considering Qiu Banxia's temperament, it may be her prank."

Liang Jingmo smiled bitterly, the expression on his face was still serious. If you want to make Autumn Banxia feel like a prank, it has to be a good result. In other words, Xiang Nanxing not only achieved the original goal, but may even have no damage in the process, which can basically be regarded as a complete victory......

But is it possible? His opponent is the Nangong family! Even if Xiang Nanxing successfully brought the battle into his own rhythm and decided the outcome with a "game", but in terms of Liang Jingmo's understanding of the Nangong family, in this regard, there is no shortage of capable people who can fight with Xiang Nanxing, and it is probably impossible to win easily.

But it's useless to think about these things.

Liang Jingmo frowned, sent a message to Qiu Banxia again, and then forcibly reversed his emotions. Yes, it doesn't help to think too much. Whether it was the best or the worst, it didn't mean much to him at sea. His original goal was to use Jiang Le's power to obtain enough information, coupled with the power he had accumulated before, to launch a dignified "war of stealing the country" as a "candidate". This has nothing to do with Xiang Nanxing's success or failure.

He had already prepared for this in every way. Whether it is secretly encircling forces, accumulating his own capital, or understanding the intelligence of the "national theft war", and rehearsing all kinds of changes in his mind in advance, Liang Jingmo has carried out it in an orderly manner. According to the rules of Xifengguo, players with the status of "alternate" can start this duel at any time after gathering enough chips to participate, and he originally planned to use the power as soon as the preparation is complete.

If he can win this matchup, he can be a big step closer to his goal. And using the "game" organized by Jiang Le to enter the other party's team a few days ago, in addition to the need for his own investigation information, it is also an important part of his plan to enter Xifeng's country.

Now, however, the turmoil in Xifeng has disrupted all his arrangements.

So far, much of the information about the unrest is vague. When it was mentioned in the news, it was only vaguely mentioned with the sentence "the prime minister was assassinated, and the cabinet was in turmoil", but the murderer is still at large, and the motive is unknown, no matter how much you search, you can't find any deeper information. At first glance, this is a terrorist campaign aimed at the top, but with the administrative structure of a mature country, it can quickly get back on track after surviving the early chaos.

But Liang Jingmo knows that things are by no means so simple. Because with what he knows the country really is, if the cabinet is really unable to perform its duties because of the turmoil, then the royal family will definitely step up and preside over the overall situation. Now, a few days have passed, and the chaos over there is still there, which is tantamount to confirming a message he received from other sources.

In the turmoil, perhaps even the royal family was swept away.

If the news is true, then this "war of stealing the country" led by the royal family will naturally go down the drain. Even if the resources he has accumulated can come in handy in the new situation, the premise is that he has the means to participate in this new wave.

This is the biggest trouble he faces - the original goal is gone, the punch that has accumulated strength cannot be punched, and even worse, the future is unknown, and he doesn't know where to go, so he has to live one day at a time and wait and see how the situation develops. At this time, he followed him to the sea, in fact, he was just trying to understand the specific situation at close range, so that he could make a choice.

At present, he is no different from ordinary people who have no goals in life and have to get by.

"I claim to be smart, but in the end, I still can't escape such a day."

Liang Jingmo propped his hand on the railing and smiled self-deprecatingly at the endless sea. The scorching sun is scorching, and even if he holds an umbrella, he can't stay in the sun for long. Just as he was thinking about going back to his room to take a nap, Liang Jingmo's ears suddenly caught the sound of footsteps coming from behind.

He jerked his head and saw a young man walking briskly up the gangway. In such a hot weather, the other party was still wearing a black suit that looked very hot, but he didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and his expression didn't even change at all when he spoke.

"The fourth princess has an order, let you go to the lounge on the second floor."

He turned sideways, raised his hand and made a "please" gesture: "Please follow me." ”

Liang Jingmo was slightly stunned, but then smiled.

His "instinct to win" was on the move, and perhaps the opportunity was hidden in this sudden summons.
