Nangong Xia said with a smile: "I know that the Deyue Tower is opened by your Xiahou family, and there are branches in Songhu City and Yanjing City, and the business has been very good. ”

"In the future, Brother Xiahou, you can improve your family martial arts with peace of mind, and when the world is peaceful, you can let Feiyang and them come out to manage and manage the business, although the hegemony is not fighting, you still have to make money, Ha Lu Ha ......"

Everyone laughed, and the awkward atmosphere was suddenly swept away. Although the children of the Xiahou family were unwilling, they also knew that it would be impossible for Lu Dao to compete with Shi Ziling for hegemony in a short period of time, and it was already the best result to be able to take a corner of peace.

After explaining the ownership arrangements of the north, everyone had nothing to worry about, and immediately drank happily and celebrated this hard-won victory together......

Early the next morning, Xiahou Yuan issued an announcement of the whole city early, officially transferring all the powers in the north to Shiziling, and then led his people to bid farewell to Shiziling and Nangong Xia, preparing to immediately move his family to Huma County, three hundred miles away.

Shi Ziling was surprised: "Why should the head of the Xiahou family be in such a hurry? ”

Xiahou Feiyang said: "My father had already made arrangements when Li Yuan attacked the city, as long as he could escape this catastrophe, he would move his family to Huma County to recuperate, and no longer care about the world's hegemony and deer." Now that we have successfully defeated Li Yuan, we have no worries in our hearts, of course, we have to go on the road as soon as possible. Brother Shi, you still have a lot of important things to do, let's leave early, and you can let go of your hands and feet and dispatch at will. ”

Shi Ziling understood that Xiahou Yuan and his son had seen through the current situation and wanted to leave the whirlpool of strife as soon as possible, but also to show that they had no ambition to make a comeback, hoping to reassure themselves. He nodded and smiled: "Since you have decided, I won't say anything polite, so I wish you all a smooth journey." ”

Xiahou Yuan said with a smile: "I also wish Ziling you to sweep the entire Mingyue Continent as soon as possible and achieve a great cause that has passed through the heavens and latitudes." He is waiting for the day when you become a great treasure, and our father and son will come to congratulate you in person. ”

Shi Ziling smiled slightly, he didn't bother to explain that he didn't have the heart to be the emperor, because even if he explained, I believe that Xiahou Yuan and his son would not believe it, but it was just in vain.

Xiahou Yuan's father and son knew that Dao Shiziling would have a bigger move next, although they only had 3,000 remnants left, but since they said that they had handed over the control of the entire north, relying on the Black Dragon City would only cause people to be suspicious, and it would be good for everyone to stay away from the dispute of right and wrong and reorganize the family business as soon as possible.

Since seeing Shi Ziling's leading talent and martial arts strength, Xiahou Yuan's father and son understand that as long as Shi Ziling is in one day, it is impossible for the Xiahou family to achieve hegemony.

After Xiahou Yuan's father and son led their clan and three thousand men and horses out of the city, Bai Wuya said to Shi Ziling: "I think Xiahou Yuan was really scared by Li Yuan this time, and his ambition was completely lost, so he went to Huma County to retire so early. It's a pity that their father and son are quite talented in both martial arts and leading the army, and if they can stay and assist you, it may be of great use. ”

Nangong Xia smiled: "Brother Bai, you are underestimating Xiahou Yuan if you say this. Their father and son have dominated the north for many years, and they know the truth of becoming a king and defeating a king, and it is already very kind for Ziling to leave them a county town as a place to live. If they don't leave Black Dragon City, aren't they afraid that Ziling will uproot their Xiahou family?"

Bai Wuya was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Nangong, do you mean that Xiahou Yuan is in a hurry to leave to protect himself?

Nangong Xia said with a smile: "Xiahou Yuan's father and son are both eloquent people, although they failed miserably this time, their ambition may not be lost. It's just that seeing Ziling's strength and talent far above their estimates, and knowing that there is no hope of turning over in the short term, this shows that he is determined to leave the dispute. ”

"If Ziling falls into a crisis in the future, and the strength of the Xiahou family recovers, maybe they will be ready to move again. Fortunately, the county seat where they are located is only three hundred miles away from Black Dragon City, and Ziling can send people to monitor their movements, and if they find that they are recruiting troops and horses, they will simply send troops to raze them out to prevent future troubles. ”

Bai Wuya was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said in surprise: "According to what you say, Xiahou Yuan is temporarily reining in his edge by retreating? Alas, you big families are really terrible to intrigue all day long, Ziling, you won't really cut the grass and eradicate the Xiahou family like Brother Nangong said, right?"

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "Father-in-law, in fact, I am not worried that Xiahou Yuan's father and son will make any changes, I can see that their father and son are smart people, as long as there is my Shiziling's Songhu Legion for a day, they will not dare to act rashly." They did leave early to avoid suspicion, and even if I told them that I had no intention of dominating the world, I don't think they would believe it. ”

Bai Wuya asked: "Then what if Xiahou Yuan's father and son really still have the heart to fight for hegemony?

Shi Ziling frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said: "If they just have a heart, I don't think it's anything, the five great families have wanted to dominate the world for generations, and it's not surprising that they have this ambition, I can't kill them just because they have ambitions." In fact, everyone's thoughts are different and cannot be the same, as long as they don't make trouble, I don't think I will deal with them. ”

Nangong Xia said with a smile: "This is the preciousness of Ziling! If it is replaced by Li Yuan, as long as you know that someone may pose a threat to you, or someone dares to go against your own will, sooner or later you will kill this person to prevent future troubles." This is the so-called "those who follow me prosper, and those who disobey me die." Ziling is better, he can tolerate other people's different ideas, which is what I admire most about him. ”

"But when it comes to fighting for hegemony in the world, in fact, I still agree with Li Yuan's approach, if it is like Ziling, it is easy to be taken advantage of by villains. I also think that if you want to do big things, you have to be ruthless, but it's a pity that Li Yuansheng was at the wrong time and met Ziling, the nemesis, and he was doomed to be unlucky. ”

Bai Wuya said strangely: "According to what you say, why do you still support Ziling to join forces with him to deal with Li Yuan?"

Nangong Xia said with a smile: "Although Ziling is not ruthless enough, but fortunately, whether it is martial arts or leading the army, he is a genius. In terms of personality, he may not be the most suitable candidate for hegemony, but he is more suitable to be friends and emperors. ”

"If Li Yuan is made the emperor, I think that whether it is our Nangong family or the Xiahou family, we will definitely not have a good life, and Li Yuan will definitely clear us out to prevent future troubles. Ziling is different, even if Ziling knows that we still have ambitions, as long as we don't act rashly and secretly make ghosts, he will not be unfavorable to us, which is why I finally chose Ziling. ”

Bai Wuya was dumbfounded when he heard this, and shook his head again and again: "I can be regarded as serving you people from the five great families, and you can turn so many corners in your mind, calculating and calculating all day long, are you tired?"

Nangong Xia smiled: "This is also a matter of no way. Our five major families have a big business and a big burden, and there are always more things to consider that are more complicated, because it is related to the family's century-old plan, and everything must be thought out clearly before making a decision. I envy you, Brother Bai, you don't have much ambition, and you have a good son-in-law like Ziling, who is invincible in the world, of course you don't have to worry. ”

Bai Wuya smiled and said: "I'm a more refreshing person, people respect me a foot, I respect people, grievances and hatreds come and go, how can you be so calculating." I think Ziling is also a temperamental, so I married my baby daughter to him, and I never thought about whether he could be the emperor. But now it seems that I really have a chance to be the emperor's father-in-law, Ha Lu Ha ......"

Nangong Xia also laughed loudly, but Shi Ziling frowned and said: "Father-in-law, Nangong senior, don't you always say anything about hegemony, is it good to be an emperor? How could I have said that I wanted to be an emperor? What is so good about being an emperor? Wouldn't I be so free now?"

Nangong Xia said with a smile: "I said a long time ago that the destiny of heaven is difficult to violate, and some things are not whether you want to or not, but the will of heaven is destined to be you." The Mingyue Continent has experienced a hundred years of war, and everyone from the poor people to the wealthy families wants to settle down as soon as possible, but who can do it? In my opinion, only Ziling can do it! If you don't come forward, who else in the world can take on this great responsibility?"

Shi Ziling said: "Of course I want the people to live a stable and stable life, but I really haven't thought about what kind of overlord emperor I want to be, and in my mind, there may not be any emperor in the world." ”

"Huh?"

Nangong Xia and Bai Wuya were both surprised when they heard this, and Nangong Xia asked: "There shouldn't be an emperor in the world? How is this possible? Without an emperor ruling the world, how can the people live in peace and contentment for a long time? How can the disputes in the world end?"

Shi Ziling smiled bitterly: "In my heart, the emperor is actually ...... In fact, it is just a symbol, and it should be the ...... that really manages the affairs of the state By the way, it should be the government. As long as a good system is established, there will be a good government, and if there are any more disputes, they can be resolved fairly in accordance with the laws of the system, and there is no need to resort to force in everything. Well...... That's pretty much what it should be......"

"What the hell are you talking about?......

Nangong Xia and Bai Wuya listened inexplicably, and the two looked at Shi Ziling with wide eyes, not understanding what Shi Ziling was talking about at all.

Shi Ziling sighed, tapped his forehead with his fingers and said: "I don't know what Lu Dao said, anyway, these thoughts seem to have been in my mind for a long time, but if I think about it deeply, my brain will be extremely painful, alas, you won't understand it......"
