Chapter Twenty-Three: The Picture of the Poor Dagger
Mr. Thirteen Zhuang Ming.
Xuancheng Song Tianyuan.
The two know each other very well.
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles.
Zhuang Ming has been learning about Song Tianyuan's past, figuring out Song Tianyuan's thoughts, so as to fight back.
And although Song Tianyuan is above the top and extremely conceited, he at least has studied Zhuang Ming's past and style of acting very thoroughly.
Although it has been a long-term friendship before, in the dark village, it is only the first time they have met.
If you really want to calculate, it's the second time in the transaction.
And this is the third time we have met.
Every time we meet, we feel differently.
Song Tianyuan's face was cold, he turned over and dismounted, and his posture was vigorous.
He drew his sword from its sheath, approached him, and stopped a foot away.
He looked at Zhuang Ming, his eyes were cold, and his expression was gloomy.
"Song has always believed that my generation of strategists, calculating people's hearts, stirring up the situation, should be scheming. And winning by force, intercepting and killing halfway, it is easy to fall into the hands of others, which is the most stupid next step. ”
"How can you see it?" Zhuang Ming asked with a smile.
Song thought that strategists used tactics, laughed at the wind and clouds, and schemed between their sleeves to calculate life and death, rather than killing people with swords. Song Tianyuan said: "Although I practice martial arts, there are only six people who kill people under the sword." Because in my eyes, the strategists use the sword, but the wisdom is not enough to suppress the overall situation, and they can only be assisted by force, which is a great shame. ”
"There's some truth to that. Zhuang Ming nodded and said: "Two chess players are playing, and only the losing side will think about overturning the chess game." ”
"You are very resourceful, but you stop at killing when you do something, which is why Song has always looked down on you. Song Tianyuan said: "For example, last time, you killed my Song family steward and seized that ancient book, it was not the work of a wise man, in addition, it is easier to leave a handle and accuse you of a crime of murder for money." ”
"Then did you get the handle?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"Nope. Song Tianyuan said: "But this is also one of the things I value about you, and it is very rare to be able to end the matter." ”
"Are you trying to kill me with your sword today?" Zhuang Ming asked.
"Not bad. Song Tianyuan nodded and said.
"Just these forty people?" Zhuang Ming chuckled, indifferent.
"Zhuang Ming, don't forget, at this moment, there are only a few guards under you. Song Tianyuan said calmly.
"There is Yin Ming alone, which is enough to stop thousands of people. Zhuang Ming patted the hem of his clothes and said calmly: "His martial arts attainments, you must have heard of it, if he makes a move, within a hundred breaths, corpses will be everywhere." ”
"What if he's mine?"
Song Tianyuan raised his eyebrows, so he said.
At the moment when he spoke.
I saw Yin Ming suddenly reach out and press on Zhuang Ming's shoulder.
"Lord Yin Ming?"
The frost spirit screamed, his face pale with fright.
Bai Lao was even more shocked, revealing a look of disbelief.
Liu Quan and the others exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly turned around, and pointed at Yin Ming.
"Yin Ming, what are you going to do?"
"Are you going to betray Childe?"
"Let go of Childe!"
Bai Lao hurriedly said: "Yin Ming, you have to think twice, you and Lord Qianyang are the most trusted henchmen of Gongzi, when Gongzi founded the family business, he has been guarding the safety of Gongzi, and now Zhuang's firm, you and Lord Qianyang are the biggest heroes...... Childe treats you well, you must not make mistakes, and you will regret it in the future. ”
Zhuang Ming just raised his hand, stopped Bai Lao, signaled the frost spirit who came forward, immediately retreated, and immediately looked at Song Tianyuan.
I saw a smile on the corner of Song Tianyuan's mouth.
He approached and stood in front of Zhuang Ming.
——
Zhuang Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he quietly looked at Song Tianyuan in front of him.
Song Tianyuan stood proudly, bowed his head slightly, and looked down at Zhuang Ming who was sitting in a wheelchair.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
Immediately, I heard Song Tianyuan's voice.
"In fact, in Song's heart, strategists and others will come to such a point to use force to survive, it is nothing more than the end of the road, so they make a move to try to be poor, just like the poor donkey, only to make the last struggle. ”
Song Tianyuan Zhengse said: "But this time is different, because the use of force is also part of my plan." It's just that this was originally my last layout for you, and I won't use this last killer move unless I have to. ”
Zhuang Ming looked as usual and said, "Then what was your initial layout?"
Song Tianyuan responded: "Originally, Song only wanted to defeat you with a scheme, let your Zhuang firm collapse completely, let your Zhuang Ming have nothing, and let your Zhuang Ming end of the road, at that time, you have no power at all, you are alone, just disabled, and your livelihood has become a problem, it is no longer in my eyes, it doesn't matter whether you kill or not." ”
Zhuang Ming smiled: "But in this regard, you have been defeated. ”
Song Tianyuan was extremely conceited, but he didn't deny it at the moment, he just responded: "I have been preparing for a year and laying out for half a year, but it has been completely fruitless, and all the plans I have set are like fists that have been beaten, but you have counted them all and failed." ”
Speaking of this, he saw Song Tianyuan's face showing a little emotion, and said, "I have to say, you are indeed terrible. ”
Zhuang Ming looked calm and said: "Between you and me, the scheming and scheming exchanges can be regarded as a long-term friendship between gods, and Zhuang also thinks that you are just as terrible." ”
——
It was recognized by Zhuang Ming.
Song Tianyuan suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.
This has not been done before.
Because before that, in his heart, the strategists were divided into four ranks, and Zhuang Ming was at least one level lower than himself.
And last night's incident, he turned out to be defeated.
This made him attach great importance to Zhuang Ming.
The awe that comes from the opponent is the greatest honor.
Song Tianyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and gave the young man in front of him the last appreciation.
"You are the only strategist Song has seen in his life, and you can be regarded as the person with the deepest planning. ”
"You defeated me, let me be defeated, and the Song family was even more defeated. ”
"I never thought you'd take this game before that. ”
"I started with the four points of officials, merchants, bandits, and silver, and I had already considered that you might be able to catch one of the moves, but I didn't expect that they were all caught by you, and there was no mistake or omission. ”
"Originally, I still had all kinds of plans after this layout, but all the subsequent preparations became empty talk after this defeat. ”
"Last night, I ordered someone to suddenly start a trouble, but you had expected it and arranged it earlier, not only did the Zhuang family not collapse, but it also made my Song family unable to turn over. ”
"The so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, the Song family has collapsed, Song has lost the power in his hands, and it is difficult to compete with your Zhuang firm alone. ”
"It was your wisdom and planning that made Song feel a little at the end of the road, so he could only use this last step. ”
"It's just that, at this moment, it seems that there is no distinction between superior and inferior moves, and it is actually one of the strategies, but it is just a matter of success and defeat. ”
"Although your plan in the Zhuang family firm is completely better than my plan in the Song family, you did not expect that your strongest guard was dissatisfied with you and had been rebelled by me. ”
"You lost this life, and thus lost everything. ”
"In the end, I won. ”
"You ignore the human heart. ”
"I have calculated hearts. ”
He quietly looked at the white-clothed young man in front of him and repeated, "Zhuang Ming, I still won." ”
The scene fell silent.
Liu Quan and the other guards were determined to live and die, and suddenly they were desperate.
Frost Spirit's face turned extremely pale.
On the contrary, it was Bai Lao, his eyes fell on Childe, and his original extremely heavy thoughts, somehow, suddenly settled down.
And at this moment, Yin Ming's hand slowly raised and took it back.
Song Tianyuan's face changed slightly, and he looked at Yin Ming, his eyes were in disbelief.
Zhuang Ming said softly: "You lost." ”
