Chapter 0399 Under the Emperor's Flowers, People's Hearts Are Treacherous (Part I) [Second Update]
Shanghai, the largest gateway to the coastal areas of China. ↖,.
On the banks of Suzhou Creek.
As the sky darkened, a boat slowly drove across the Suzhou Creek and arrived in Shanghai.
At this moment, you can already faintly see the riverbank, like a black ribbon, lying across the bank of Suzhou Creek.
On the boat, a man in black stood in the wind, obviously a young man in his twenties, but he was wearing the most traditional kung fu costume in China that only the old people wear, a black suit, a white shirt, an inch head, and a pair of black cloth boots on his feet.
Beside him, a beautiful woman who is not like all the people in the world stands side by side with him, wearing a white dress, standing with a man can be said to be a talented woman.
These two people, who are they not Xingtian and Qin Keke?
They took the boat arranged by Ran Chonglou to cross the Suzhou Creek and arrive in Shanghai!
The river breeze was slightly cold, and the two of them were hunting in clothes, but neither of the men and women went back to the cabin to rest, and stood side by side on the bow of the boat, like a fairy couple who wanted to return by the wind!
"Hudi, it's finally here!"
Xing Tian sighed lightly, his eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart!
Behind him, several black-clothed warriors stood in a row, looking at the back of this man, all of them had complicated eyes!
They are the cronies of Ran Chonglou in the southern country, they must be the kind of people who are loyal to the death, otherwise Ran Chonglou would not have let them come here to send the execution heaven!
King of the Northland!
This is the worst enemy of the South!
However, at this moment, they were in the same boat with this executioner who didn't know how many of their colleagues and brothers had killed in Jinling?
Or even directly escorted each other into their lair?
Several southern samurai had mixed hearts, and it seemed that this life-and-death battle between the southern and northern lands had completely changed its flavor by now.
"The throne, the long knife is forged!"
Xing Tian sighed lightly, suddenly turned his head to glance at these southern warriors, and said quietly: "Are you thinking...... How good would it be if you stabbed me to death on this Suzhou Creek?"
The faces of several southern samurai changed!
However, in the end, there was still a person who looked relatively old and stood up: "Mr. thinks too much, the Northern King Yongguan Three Armies, Megatron World, who doesn't know?"
A few of us don't think we're going to make you get started!
Not to mention ......"
The eyes of the southern warrior became complicated for a moment, and after a long time, he sighed softly: "Although we don't know the purpose of your coming to Suzhou to see Brother Ran, we can more or less guess it."
No matter what, you are always Brother Ran's way, his honored guest, at least now he is his honored guest, how can we have such thoughts?"
These words probably reached everyone's hearts, and for a while, all the southern warriors on the deck hung their heads silently.
Xingtian nodded silently, along the way, he chatted with these warriors in the south, everyone finally calmed down, and didn't need to draw their swords and see blood together for a while, Xingtian of course had to take the opportunity to understand what these warriors were thinking, at least he could understand the thoughts of these subordinates of Ran Chonglou in Zhejiang, so that he could implement his next move according to the actual situation.
However, the results obtained made Xingtian overjoyed!
The deck was quiet, Xing Tian stood with his hands in his hands, and asked without warning: "Isn't it okay to be under the fence and ostracized by others all these years?"
"This ......"
The southern warrior was obviously stunned, hesitated for a moment, and finally smiled bitterly: "Why do you knowingly ask, King of the North? If it is good, why have we come to this point? How can we stay with you calmly on this Suzhou Creek today? I am afraid that I have already met you with your sword!"
Xing Tian nodded silently and sighed softly.
Along the way, he learned a lot of truths from the mouths of these southern warriors who were submerged in the past!
After going south to Jinling, Xing Tian vaguely guessed that there should be a certain contradiction between Xiao Yuesheng and Ran Chonglou based on the information he had, and it was impossible for the interior to be as calm as they appeared!
However, after truly understanding it today, Xing Tiancai was a little shocked to discover...... The conflict between the two sides has reached such a big point! Even from the time of Li Changqing's seventh expedition to the south of the Yangtze River, the first clues have already appeared!
It turned out that Xiao Yuesheng had already made a move on Ran Chonglou!
At the beginning, the two fought the south together and agreed to divide the world equally, but in the end, Ran Chonglou gave up the country and fulfilled Xiao Yuesheng!
This is almost a well-known thing, but is it just the greatness of Ran Chonglou?
No!
What reflects the strength of Ran Chonglou even more!
In other words, when the southern kingdom was first decided, Ran Chonglou had the strength to share the world with Xiao Yuesheng, and he could definitely compete with Xiao Yuesheng!
With such a big tiger beside her, can Xiao Yuesheng feel at ease?
Over the years, Xiao Yuesheng has been constantly looking for reasons and excuses to weaken Ran Chonglou! To put it bluntly, this is to use a soft knife to bleed, grinding Ran Chonglou to death little by little, this is also the best way, after all, Ran Chonglou is very powerful, and it is easy to cause a big disaster by the most drastic means at once!
Ran Chonglou endured and endured, let and let go, but now it has been weakened, and his strength has fallen from the point where he was able to share the southern country equally with Xiao Yuesheng, and directly fell to the point where he can barely hold Zhejiang, at best, it is only twenty or thirty thousand people!
He...... I can't afford to argue with Xiao Yuesheng anymore, and now, I don't even have a chance to regret it!
Xiao Yuesheng strengthened his lineage and excluded the side lineage under Ran Chonglou, and the southern blackmen in Zhejiang over the years can be said to be quite unhappy!
It can even be said that there are many complaints!
And these things, Xing Tian didn't mention them at all in the information he got, because what Xiao Yuesheng did was too secretive, if he hadn't accidentally entered Suzhou this time, I'm afraid it would be impossible to know when he conquered the southern country!
Xingtian was very glad that he knew about it earlier, so he had the question just now!
"You ...... They are the best warriors!"
Xing Tian shook his head, looked deeply at these Southern Warriors, and said softly: "I have never doubted your bravery in the battlefield, but unfortunately, you were born in a complex power environment, and in the end you can only become a victim of the struggle for royal power. ”
Speaking of this, Xingtian's eyes suddenly became deeper: "I want to ask you, do you want to die? Or, have you ever thought about what will happen if Ran Chonglou is not there one day?"
Several southern samurai hung their heads, their faces full of bitterness!
Who is stupid?
No one is stupid!
How could they not have imagined that Ran Chonglou would end up if he and the others were gone?
That Xiao Yuesheng is not a broad-minded person again! Otherwise, would he have suppressed them all these years?
If Ran Chonglou is not there, then there will really be no one to carry them strongly, and they will become a group of motherless children, it is estimated that Xiao Yuesheng will throw them all out as cannon fodder and fight with the king of the north in front of him!
In the end, they will die without a place to be buried!
"I have never been your enemy!"
Xing Tian exhaled a long breath: "It might be funny to say it, right?"
But in fact, I am indeed not your enemy, and if you do not stand in my footsteps to the south, each and every one of you will become my most respected warriors, and there will never be a lineage or collateral lineage!
In the battle of Jinling, I can even take those prisoners who killed my brothers, let alone you?"
"From beginning to end, I am not your enemy, as long as you lay down your arms, as long as you no longer fight against me, I will never persecute you, I will only treat you as the best brother!
Your real enemies...... It's Xiao Yuesheng!
The struggle for royal power is the most ruthless, you have already been nailed to his blacklist, even if you compromise and lay down your arms, he will still stubbornly think that you are Ran Chonglou's faction, and then find every opportunity to kill you!
Because only the dead will not affect his rule!"
"The contradiction between you and me can be resolved, but the contradiction between you and Xiao Yuesheng cannot be resolved!"
“......”
After speaking, the boat had already reached the shore, Xing Tian grabbed Qin Keke's waist, and landed directly on the river bank with a volley!
Then, Xing Tian turned his head and looked at the black-clothed warriors on the deck, showed a bright smile, waved his hand at those Zhejiang warriors, and said loudly: "Remember, I will never be your enemy!"
Please bring my goodwill and the goodwill of the king of the north back to Zhejiang, and tell every brother in Zhejiang, as long as you are not hindering my footsteps to the south, you will be my good brothers, and we will live and die together in the future, sharing glory and wealth!
Descend to me! Live with dignity!
Shun Xiao Yuesheng! Humble death!
The choice is yours and always has been yours!"
On the deck, several southern warriors had complicated expressions, and after a while, everyone bowed to Xingtian in unison, and the older man shouted: "King of the North, I will bring your kindness back to Zhejiang, and every brother in Zhejiang will know!"
After that, the man waved his hand and shouted: "Return!"
The boat gradually disappeared on the Suzhou Creek.
At this time, Qin Keke suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xingtian with a smile, and said softly: "I can't see it, your incitement is very strong, even I was moved by you!"
"Haha!"
Xing Tian laughed loudly, and when he was ready to laugh, he said word by word: "It's not my credit, but these warriors from Zhejiang are already cornered! That man is right, if it weren't for Xiao Yuesheng's persecution of them, they would be desperate with me on the Suzhou River today, and they wouldn't listen to the nonsense of my enemy at all!"
The struggle for royal power, endless internal friction, and in the end, the only one who is cheap can only be me, the external enemy!
I...... It's just a fire......"
“......”
