Chapter 878: The Truth of the Council
It is true that without him Sutron in this Heavenly Continent, it is difficult to keep more "rat generation" ignoring the human guild and jumping out to claim the title of king, but what can that be? The rat generation is the rat generation after all, and everyone knows where the real threat comes from. Even if there is no Sutrun, RisabΓ©o is still the Emperor of the Demon Realm, the Yuan brothers will still rebel, and Gongsun Baima will still ignore the wind and rain of the outside world and be his "Earth Emperor" in the Far East, including all kinds of elves and demons, and only human guilds, how can they limit their behavior?
Suddenly, Xia Yanfeng thought of a deeper layer, that is, Su Trun's true intention in saying this...... Could it be that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink? Could it be that he just wants to confuse the public and make others think that he has no intention of being the emperor? What is he trying to prove to the world? Or does he have other plans? After thinking about it carefully, Sutrun was only discussing the matter of becoming emperor, so why did he make a big deal and call almost everyone over? Doesn't this just prove that he is bluffing and pretending to be suspicious? If he has already made up his mind, why did he call so many people? Just ask Xia Yanfeng and a few of Guo Xing's cronies to express their intentions, and then give an order, you know, even if it is a major military event, he has never gathered so many people, but for the matter that he already has the answer in his heart, he has made a large gathering of civil and military officials, why did he do this?
There is only one reason! Under the guise of discussing the matter of becoming the emperor! Sutron suspects that the inner ghost is among these people present!
Thinking of this, Xia Yanfeng couldn't help but feel a chill behind him, what he was "cool" was not the existence of the inner ghost, and he was not worried about the problem of the "inner ghost", but he had never expected that Suterun's cunning level was already deep in the bone marrow! This kind of suspiciousness, this kind of person who shows people in a magnificent state, but hides the treacherous essence on the surface, how terrible it is, only those who are targeted by him know.
Xia Yanfeng didn't know if Guo Xing had seen through the truth, and he didn't completely rely on subjective assumptions to figure out Sutren's heart, but only to prove his conjecture through reasoning, provided that he had to be suspicious before he would guess and deduce. Thinking about it this way, the terrifying degree of his Xia Yanfeng's heart, compared to Sutren, wouldn't it be fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter? As soon as he thought of this, Xia Yanfeng wanted to laugh at himself and smile bitterly, because he knew that the changes in people's hearts could not be reversed, and time could not be returned, only remembrance. Instead of seeing everything as good and being stupidly hurt in the end, it is better to face the reality and make plans for everything. Because the reality is cruel, in a high position, doomed to deceive.
"Fifth Brother ......" walked out of the main hall, until the palace gate, Guo Xing walked to Xia Yanfeng's side with a smile, and asked him softly, "You should have guessed the true intention of President Sutron's meeting today, right?"
"Do you still need to say it?" the corners of Xia Yanfeng's mouth rose, showing his state of watching fire, "Brother Su's meaning, I already know." β
"We really have a good heart, and the wisdom of you and me is getting more and more comparable. Guo Xing patted Xia Yanfeng's shoulder and said with impressive encouragement, "However, you didn't wear it in person, this is really wise." β
"Who are you and I? How can someone who can be admitted by Brother Guo Xing be as brainless as those rats?" Xia Yanfeng said with a smile, "The more perfect the answer, the closer to the end, I don't think that a 'killer demon king' like Sutlon will remember the old feelings when it comes to principles." It is precisely because he has seen through Sutron that he will not say all his words, as long as the stupid people will talk nonsense and talk endlessly. β
"Yes. It is meaningless to discuss the feasibility of being the emperor, who this drama is filmed for, I can just know it, and there is no need to publicize it. Guo Xing said, "If he really claims to be the emperor at this juncture, then Guo someone will misunderstand him." What kind of faces did those who persuaded Sutlun to be emperor, and the fifth brother could see it clearly, right?"
"Hmm. Hua Chong is a snob, Yang Ziru is sanctimonious, just from what they said, I can see that this kind of person has no real talent at all. Xia Yanfeng sneered, "Although the Human Guild is full of talents now, the 10,000 pigs together can only be slaughtered by the butcher stupidly. Today's wisdom is superb, and it has to belong to Brother Guo Xing!"
"Haha, you don't need to shoot the fart. Guo Xing laughed, "The inner ghost is still in the shadows, but since the Lu Xiaotian incident, the mastermind behind the scenes has not made any visible moves, and I don't know what they are plotting, we can't take it lightly." β
"What is the plan of the mastermind behind the scenes, it is difficult for us to prevent it, if we can find a breakthrough, we may be able to strike first. But this kind of thing still can't startle the snake. Xia Yanfeng sank, "I think...... If we don't have the ability to protect ourselves, it's better not to risk our lives, because we are not sure of a head-on confrontation with those horrible guys. Even Lu Xiaotian is their pawn, and the true face of those guys can be imagined. Maybe none of them is what we can deal with now......"
"Fifth brother, it's not like you to say such a thing!" Guo Xing couldn't help but be surprised, "Although it's good to be cautious, you shouldn't give up on yourself, right?"
"Who said I was going to give up on myself?" Xia Yanfeng pretended to laugh, "I don't want Sutlon to know about the situation behind the scenes, that's all." It's not just Sutrun, I don't like it when the sixth and seventh brothers know about it. Now that the second brother and the fourth brother are not here, this kind of thing only needs the eldest brother and the third brother, as well as me, and the three of them to understand. The eldest brother has outstanding ability, the third brother has an immortal body, and the fifth brother I have an artifact as a hole card, so I can protect myself without worry, if you need to investigate secretly, the three of us, it is best not to separate. β
"No matter how thoughtful we are, it's hard to guarantee that there will be a difference, and we don't know how strong the other side is. Guo Xing couldn't help frowning.
"No matter what the strength of the other party is, the only people that I Xia Yanfeng can trust now are you and the third brother!" Xia Yanfeng said this, looking at Guo Xing with a hint of longing in his eyes, "Maybe there was some unpleasantness, but in that past, wasn't it 'love and kill'?" Today's Sutron is no longer the hot-blooded Sutron at the beginning, he has long been consumed by power, and the idea of being the emperor will never be small, gradually, my trust in Sutron in the past has now become a kind of 'pathology'. β
When Guo Xing heard this, he sighed deeply, and his eyes suddenly deepened: "You can't say that...... Su will not completely give up his trust in others...... Who is important to him and who is good to him, he still remembers. Because he is at least a person, a person of flesh and blood, it is inevitable that he will have seven emotions and six desires. So today, who really thinks about him, and who is a villain who tends to be inflammatory, isn't it clear at a glance? But all those who persuade President Su to become emperor are all villains who only care about their immediate interests, but they will push them into the fire pit. β
"Hah...... Big brother, big brother, you should know this better than me, right?" Xia Yanfeng shook his head with a funny face, "Have you never seen his arrogant appearance when he indiscriminately killed innocents and slaughtered Li? What kind of reputation do you have to talk about as a 'city slaughtering madman' like Sutlun who treats human life like a camelina? Although I am not qualified to say this, but in the vicinity of such a demon, can you still count on 'trust'? In order to achieve the goal, this 'demon' can't do anything? To insist on saying that the 'city slaughtering mad demon' does not have the slightest intention to be the emperor, it is simply laughing to death! A complete villain, his little bit of ruined reputation can't fool a three-year-old child!"
"Fifth brother...... You ......" Guo Xing was completely shocked by Xia Yanfeng's words that he tried his best to damage Sutren, he couldn't imagine that the most trusted "Captain Xia Yanfeng" of Sutron in the past was now slandering him like a bitter hatred, as if the two of them were harmonious in the open, but they had a hatred behind their backs, and he was surprised, but he couldn't help but gasp for Sutren, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and his heart was cold, even if he and Xia Yanfeng's cognition was almost the same, and he seemed to be really emotional," Even the most trusted people now look at him, who else can be trusted by President Su? This is too pitiful, right?"
"There is something hateful about the wretched. When he stole the power of the guild, when he slaughtered the city and harmed the people, didn't he think that he would attract the resentment of the world?" Xia Yanfeng disagreed, and sneered, "This kind of person should use his way to govern him, let him also taste the taste of being 'seeking power and usurping the throne', let him taste the pain of his wife being separated, his family ruined, and his family destroyed, only in this way can he have a long memory." For the devil, there is no need to talk about human nature, more vicious than the devil, so that the devil can be restrained, right?"
"Whew...... It seems that the fifth brother's heart is even darker than the eldest brother...... Moreover, this kind of 'blackness' is hidden in the heart and is not exposed to the surface, which is a level higher than the 'blackness' of Sutren's blood-devouring ......" Guo Xing sighed to himself.
Xia Yanfeng smiled "harmlessly": "Are you praising me, or are you hurting me?"
"It is precisely because we understand 'black' that we have 'black', and only those who know darkness know darkness best, and only darkness can swallow darkness. And the darkness I mean is not equated with evil, if darkness is reality, then it is wise to face the darkness and transcend it. Guo Xing seemed to be relieved, reached out and touched Xia Yanfeng's forehead, and said with a straight face, "Remember what the eldest brother said today...... In the future, you are the only one who can take away Sutrun's inheritance and stand on top of the world......"
"It's a big prize...... although Xia Yanfeng was startled at first, he immediately made a smirk to hide his heart, "I can't afford such a compliment." β
"If you can pretend to be a grandson, you can achieve great things, because you gradually have the power to embezzle the world. Guo Xing smiled, "Follow me, don't pretend." β
"I'm not pretending to be garlic, I'm just answering according to my heart. It's you, big brother, who looks like a melancholy little student, a harmless 'little white face' of humans and animals, except for that awe-inspiring aura, I can't see how insidious you are in your heart. Xia Yanfeng continued to be slightly malicious, but he smiled innocently, "A really smart person, outsiders can't see his edge with the naked eye, the eldest brother is 'natural black', the body and mind are cut, and the inside is all black." β
"The fifth brother is really humorous. Guo Xing also showed the same "harmless" smile as Xia Yanfeng, the more "harmless" his smile was, the more creepy it was, "If Guo someone wasn't 'black', he would have died hundreds of years ago without a place to be buried!"
As soon as he thought of "hundreds of years", Xia Yanfeng suddenly came to a question, he had long wanted to ask this question, but he was wondering how to speak, and finally he could only pretend to be inadvertent, and asked: "Oh, by the way, big brother, how have you come over these hundreds of years?"
"No...... Is this coming?" Guo Xing stared at Xia Yanfeng suspiciously, not knowing what he was asking.
"You are a big man, do you spend a hundred years alone and empty and lonely?Isn't it true that you have never been in love or married to a woman you like?" Xia Yanfeng asked with a smile, "It may evoke your sad past, but the reality must always be faced." Why did you entangle narcissus in the human world in the first place, and at the same time worship your two rivals, I wonder why. β
"Yes...... I've had a lover and I've had children...... However, these were all from a long time ago, before I was reincarnated, when I was not called 'Guo Xing', but I still loved her...... Aurelly ......"
