Chapter 56: The Choice
In the Claes limousine, Meng Xuan held a folding knife in his hand and sat quietly beside Aisya.
The faint and elegant smell of perfume penetrated into Meng Xuan's nostrils, making Meng Xuan feel a little pungent.
The car was eerily quiet, and apart from the roar of the engine, none of the four spoke first.
The limousine drove all the way east along the Shahe River, an important river system in the south, passing through three provincial capitals and finally flowing into the sea in Shahe City.
The car drove along the direction of the Shahe River into the sea, drove to the coastal road in the eastern district, and stopped on a 30-meter-long arch bridge, the arch bridge was empty, and the surroundings were also empty.
Shi Yong and Cheng Shan got out of the car and opened the door for Aisya.
Aisiya got out of the car and walked to the bridge, holding the bridge railing with both hands, looking at the mouth of the tributary, Shi Yong and Cheng Shan, who were dressed in straight suits, carried their hands behind their backs and quietly guarded behind Aisya.
Meng Xuan in the car was a little speechless, and no one opened the door for him······
He opened the car door himself, stepped out of the car, threw his bag aside, and walked slowly to Althea's side with a folding knife in his hand.
The cold sea breeze with the vapor of the sea blows, bringing a biting cold.
Aithea looked at him with a smile and said, "Do you know why I brought you here?" ”
Meng Xuan carried the knife and did not speak.
"You see, this is the place where the tributaries of the Shahe River flow into the sea, and when I was a child, one of my favorite things was to stand here, blowing the sea breeze, and watching the river flow into the sea."
Aisya smiled and pointed to the confluence not far away and said to Meng Xuan.
"If I'm not mistaken, the bridge was built just three years ago."
Meng Xuan said lightly.
"There was no bridge at the time."
Aisia didn't get angry because of Meng Xuan's fault-finding, and continued with a normal face: "There are many tributaries of the Shahe River, many of which are even thicker than the current one, but in the end, they all disappeared, and only this tributary still exists for twenty years. ”
"There's only one reason, they don't make it to the sea like they do."
"Choose a tributary that flows inland, and the final outcome is to dry up and disappear, and only by choosing a tributary that flows into the sea can you gain a longer vitality in the wider world. Since then, I have understood a truth, life, the most important thing is to make a choice, choose the right wonderful, choose the wrong bleak, even ······"
Aisya said slowly, turned her head, and looked at Meng Xuan calmly with her beautiful blue eyes and said, "I chose the right life, and I chose the wrong ······ to die."
After listening to Aisya's tirade for a long time, Meng Xuan plucked out his ears and said with a little impatience: "I have something to say, I'll go home and do my homework if it's okay." ”
Aisya looked at Meng Xuan with a smile: "I know you can understand what I say, you can get into my car and prove that you are a smart person." ”
Althea sighed and continued: "But even if a person is smart and powerful, once he has a concern in his heart, he will become extremely vulnerable. ”
"You're here to threaten me?"
Hearing this, Meng Xuan's expression suddenly turned cold, and he quietly stared at the beautiful woman in front of him.
If it weren't for the threat to his family that this woman had revealed between the lines, he wouldn't have come here alone in Althea's car.
"No, I'm here to give you another choice."
Aithea said lightly.
"What choice?"
Meng Xuan was unmoved.
"Zhao Chuanwu is abolished, the Tianhe Sword Technique Pavilion needs a new leader, I want to ask you to be the leader of the Tianhe Sword Martial Arts Pavilion, and the monthly salary is ten times that of your Black Tail Martial Arts Pavilion."
Aisya said to Meng Xuan with a smile.
"Actually, for me, money is just a number, this monthly salary is just your probation money, if you can show the corresponding value, I won't care if it's ten times higher, and you, in the Angel Gang, will get more."
"Rights, status and honour······ No matter how you look at it, the Angels are a better choice than the Tricolor, aren't they? And with your position in the Tricolor, you should know the consequences of being our enemy. ”
Althea said with a smile, knowing that it was obvious to any smart person what to do now.
"What about Isis and Zhao Chuanwu?"
Hearing Aisyah's words, Meng Xuan's expression did not change at all, but asked rhetorically.
"Isis I will be in control, I will not trouble you, as for Zhao Chuanwu, I will hand it over to you to deal with, this guy has recently heard that he is not stable, although his shoulder is crushed and fractured, but he still has amateur-level strength, if you want to take revenge on you, you don't have to use formal duel means, I suggest that after you take over the Tianhe Sword Art Museum, you will completely abolish him."
Althea smiled slightly.
"Isn't he your subordinate?"
Meng Xuan was a little surprised by Aisya's ruthlessness.
"I thought someone as smart as you would ask such a stupid question."
Aithea said lightly.
Meng Xuan was silent when he heard this.
"I understand, I'm sorry, my decision is to refuse."
After a while, Meng Xuan finally spoke, grabbed the folding knife in his hand and said slowly.
"Oh? Why? ”
Althea showed a slight look of surprise and interest.
"First, I have my principles and bottom line."
"Second, I don't want to be a dog."
Meng Xuan replied calmly.
He, Akto and the others still have the possibility of communicating on an equal footing, and with the common enemy of the Angel Gang, he can maintain great autonomy without being caught in the whirlpool of underground forces in the North District.
But if he betrays Blacktail and joins the Angel Gang, with Althea's character, he definitely doesn't want to stay out of it.
He didn't want to be a gunman, just like Zhao Chuanwu, in the end, it was just a bargaining chip to be consumed.
He and Aisya can't be all the way.
Hearing the word "be a dog", Aisyah's pupils shrank slightly, as if it evoked some bad memories for her, her face sank, and she said lightly: "This is not a smart person's choice." ”
Shi Yong and Cheng Shan, who were standing behind her, took a slight step forward when they heard this, and a strong sense of oppression hit Meng Xuan.
"That's my choice."
Meng Xuan's face was calm, he had already expected this situation.
In other words, since he deposed Zhao Chuanwu, he had already expected today's situation.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Aisya would actually find him in person, and also brought the Ghost Eye Sword and King Kong.
That wasn't a reason for him to back down, though.
From the moment he got in the car, he had already made a choice.
His hand was already gripping the handle of the folding knife.
"It's a pity, right and wrong, life and death, rise and fall, the wrong choice of one thought, will plunge you into the darkness of despair for the rest of your life······"
Althea shook her head, sighed slightly, and looked at the confluence, not knowing what she was thinking.
Sou!!!
As cold as a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, it stabbed at Meng Xuan's throat at an extremely fast speed.
Boom!!!
On the other side, a huge palm like a fan smashed through the air, making a terrifying sound of breaking the air, and fanned towards Meng Xuan's head from the side.
Brush!!
Meng Xuan's dexterous footsteps kicked and his body jumped five meters away.
The Ghost Eye Sword Shi Yong didn't know where to conjure up a soft sword like a snake, and King Kong Chengshan's hands had turned black and purple, at this time, he was taking out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and slowly bringing them on his hands.
Zheng!!
Meng Xuan pulled the flickering flower folding knife from the scabbard and gently threw the scabbard aside.
His skin was covered with fine goosebumps, his hair stood on end, his whole body trembled slightly, his eyes were covered with fine bloodshots, he looked full of hideousness and madness, and the surging desire for attack and destruction in his body was almost difficult to restrain him.
But his face was as calm as ever.
He raised the folding knife in his hand.
"In addition to right and wrong, life and death, I have a third choice."
