Chapter 118: Eye of the Storm
Guan Zhixu plucked up his courage and said: "Zhangjiao, Yin Changsheng is unreliable, I know that you want to use Yin Changsheng to balance Cheng Shaoqing, that's just your wish." However, I have already heard that Yin Changsheng and Cheng Shaoqing are preparing to make some moves in private. The family is a family of two, a fight at the head of the bed, a ...... at the end of the bed."
"Nonsense, you're hearsay! This may be because the soldiers are not tired of cheating," Guan Shouyi waved his hand and said, "Can't Jiangcheng and Hongcheng have dealings?" How is it possible, then Cheng Shaoqing wants to send someone to lobby, and Yin Changsheng wants to send someone to Hongcheng to inquire about the situation, isn't it normal? You, don't always look at the superficial phenomenon when you think about the problem, you have to look at the essence of the matter. ”
"The essence of the matter is that the Demon City, my Fire Spirit Disciple, and the Blackwater Army fought fiercely, but Cheng Shaoqing did not move, and said that the inside and outside should be together." Guan Zhixu didn't dare to say it at first, but he became bold and lost his temper when he said it, "I hope you can walk on one more leg, you are the head of this sect, if you choose the wrong path, how can we follow you?" ”
Guan Zhixu saw that his father didn't scold him, and thought that his words were listened to by Guan Shouyi, so he wanted to continue to persuade: "Father, don't pin all your hopes on the White Lotus Sect, only by strengthening ourselves can we check and balance Cheng Shaoqing." ”
Guan Shouyi didn't say a word, just sat on the chair with his hands crossed, panting with anger, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Guan Zhixu continued: "Now it's our father and son, I'll say so. Ahem, I've always been your son, so I can understand you. Don't look at you in a hurry, but you can't think about everything for the better, and besides, the current situation is not what you want, so the future depends on your decision-making. ”
Guan Shouyi suddenly hugged his hands and smiled, he closed his eyes and shook his head: "You reminded it very well, you reminded it very well." That's why I called you from the Demon City to the Demon City, just to let you help me by my side. Now the Demon City is the focus of the entire Eastern Land, the center of the storm, and you can only experience it thoroughly in such an environment. You, you have to see everything around you clearly, son, no matter what, you remember, you must stick to the magic city. ”
Cheng Shaoqing was looking at the military map in his big tent, and suddenly a guest came to visit, it turned out to be the magic city giant Su Jingmo came, and Cheng Shaoqing took the initiative to welcome him out after hearing the report.
Cheng Shaoqing greeted Su Jingmo, who was getting down from the sedan chair, loudly and enthusiastically: "Su Yuanwai is here, and he is not welcome." ”
Su Jingmo knew that Cheng Shaoqing was not what it used to be, so he didn't dare to lose his manners, and after getting off the sedan chair, he knelt down respectfully and said, "Jingmo greets the generalissimo." ”
Cheng Shaoqing knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Demon City, he must not be without the support of these wealthy businessmen in the Demon City. So he returned the salute and said: "Brother Su doesn't have to be like this, I still remember the idea you gave to my little brother five years ago, let me hand over the post to the earth sheep ghost, and exempt me from a large amount of debt, so that I can go to the demon city to accompany the ancestor of Piao Gao to suffer, and this is why I am becoming Shaoqing today." ”
"Five years ago, I also watched the generalissimo young and handsome, although the business was temporarily disappointed. I will definitely be able to double it back in the future. Su Jingmo complimented, "But to be honest, Jingmo didn't expect that now you are the generalissimo of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and you can be said to be the one who sits in the Dragon Court." This is a big business, but Jingmo can't even think of it! ”
Cheng Shaoqing smiled when he said this: "Let's not stand here and talk about it, Su Yuan is invited to do it outside." ”
Cheng Shaoqing's invitation to Su Jingmo was thoughtful, he had been in the Demon City, so he knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Longtan Tiger's Den, he couldn't just rely on the soldiers under his hands. While thinking, he personally poured a cup of tea for Su Jingmo, and then came to Su Jingmo's front and sat down with tea.
Su Jingmo was terrified when he saw Cheng Shaoqing personally pouring tea for himself, and was about to stand up, but Cheng Shaoqing held down his shoulder. Cheng Shaoqing said with a smile: "The camp is shabby, and it is not well taken care of, so you can take care of it." Su Jingmo felt that Cheng Shaoqing's politeness was a little excessive, and it seemed to remind him of the unlucky guy who owed a lot of debts.
As the saying goes, the four directions of heaven and earth are rivers and lakes, and the world is smart and confused. There are storms in Vanity Fair, but in the end, you will lose. Su Jingmo can do business in the sword bushes of Daoshan Mountain, and he knows that behind being so polite to himself, Cheng Shaoqing must have other plans. Either digging a hole for yourself, or trying to use yourself, or forcing yourself to vomit blood.
He waited nervously, wanting to hear what Cheng Shaoqing had to say.
Cheng Shaoqing turned around and made a gesture to his subordinates, and his subordinates said, "Yes, obey." Then he turned and departed.
Send people to do things, and don't say why. Su Jingmo knew that Cheng Shaoqing did this just to increase psychological pressure on himself, but he knew in his heart that it was one thing, and it was another thing to feel nervous or not.
"Su Yuanwai, I asked you to come today, I think you should also understand that I Cheng Shaoqing has a bad character and is an insatiable person."
As soon as Su Jingmo heard this, his heart hung up, and he smiled: "Don't talk about this like this, food and grass for those who use soldiers are necessary." He thought, I just don't know how big your appetite is.
"You helped me waive a lot of money five years ago," Cheng Shaoqing said with a smile, "But today, ......" said he put his hand on Su Jingmo's wrist, making Su's arm unable to move, as if it was restrained. In fact, Cheng Shaoqing's hand was not forced, but Su Jingmo didn't dare to move, Cheng Shaoqing said with a smile, "I still want Boss Su's bigger money." ”
Su Jingmo knew that he must be interesting at this time, otherwise he would be a little ignorant, he smiled reluctantly: "I also have this preparation, you Cheng Dashuai asked me for money, that is to look up to me." ”
"Good! To tell you the truth, after fighting Tuoshui to continue the Northern Expedition, I really need money. And I have big things to do, in addition to asking for money, I also need your support. ”
"Well, that's easy to say. Dare to ask what a big deal it is to become a handsome? ”
Cheng Shaoqing stared at Su Jingmo's face and asked, "What do you think of the Fire Spirit Sect?" ”
This made Su Jingmo embarrassed, he knew that although Cheng Shaoqing and the Fire Spirit Sect were in a cooperative relationship on the surface, they were rumored to hate the Fire Spirit Sect. It's not surprising that this is not surprising, it's strange that a person like Cheng Shaoqing can like Fire Spirit Dao. It's just that Su Jingmo thought again, in order to maintain the Northern Expedition, this Cheng Shaoqing wouldn't have to turn against the Fire Spirit Sect, right? Could it be that he wanted to pull the various factions of the Demon City to fight against the Fire Spirit Dao?
This is possible, although magic is only one of the cities in the eastern soil, it is the largest gang in the world such as the Three Ghost Gang, and the rich businessmen and giants are gathered here, and the most important overseas immortal sects in the eastern soil are basically in the magic city. Could it be that Cheng Shaoqing wants to get these three forces? And then turn your face with the Fire Spirit Dao?
