68. Pursuit of Victory (5)
Yi Huang Xu stroked his chin and muttered:
"If it's on top of our underworld, this kind of peace is actually not very interesting. At most, it can be regarded as a temporary end of one phase. What to do next depends on the comparison of the strength of the two sides. If one side continues to be weak and shows flaws, it will have to fight sooner or later. ”
"But I don't know much about how you cultivators will deal with this kind of thing. It's just that he brought this ......"
Huang Xu picked up the post of Ji Tiandu again:
"He asked the little marquis to come forward as a guarantee, if we do it again, it will not give face to the Marquis Mansion. But he's the same, if he dares to stir up trouble in the future, it will be to make the prince lose his trust, I don't think he should have the courage to do it, right?"
Regarding his brother's thoughts, Huang Chang just smiled:
"Actually, we monks are similar to mortal underworlds, but the level of strength is higher. There is also less trust between each other – because if one party makes a sudden plan, the other party can suffer a big loss. Therefore, in most cases, the monks either do not go to war with each other, and if they start a war, the victory will inevitably be decided, and most of them are divided between life and death, and few say that they can stop fighting halfway. ”
"As for Ji Tiandu's 'face', hum, that's it. Cultivators are originally using their own great strength to resist the Heavenly Dao, and they refuse to obey even the natural cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, not to mention the oppression of the power in the world. Our own net worth and life dare not be pinned on the 'face' of those big people. ”
"So I made a mistake?"
Huang Xu frowned, but Huang Chang shook his head:
"That's not it, the biggest constraint on Su Tiecheng is not the little marquis of the family, but that he has a family, property and industry here-he is not the kind of casual cultivator who feeds the whole family and does not go hungry, and can pat his ass and run away no matter how big the disaster is. Like us, he has scruples and fetters, and this is the fundamental reason why I agreed to make peace with him. ”
"If a person is willing to think about his family, then he will have some bottom line in his actions. The kind of lone wolf who has no worries and acts without scruples is the most troublesome. If we can't kill Su Tiecheng directly, we can't force him too hard, and it's not a bad thing to slow down. ”
"What if I don't agree to a settlement?"
Huang Xu said curiously, Huang Chang laughed:
"Don't worry, Ah Xu, since I leave this matter completely to you to decide, it is because no matter what decision you make, I can solve it - if you want to continue fighting, it is nothing more than forcing Su Tiecheng and us to fight hard. I will be more nervous for a while, so be careful not to be caught by him, and even more so to prevent him from jumping over the wall and attacking our family. ”
"But the overall trend is still with me, as long as his crimes are exposed, without the protection of that official skin, I can destroy him at any time - he is not as strong as me, I want to kill him, he can't stop him, this is his biggest disadvantage, not by strategy can make up. As for whether or not Ji Tiandu intervenes, it won't affect our decision-I will let the Ji family carefully consider the consequences of meddling. ”
Huang Xu pondered for a long time, and suddenly sighed:
"It is said that after becoming an immortal, you can be at ease, but now it seems that it is not so easy. ”
Huang Chang smiled:
"If you don't care about the kindness of your parents, the support of your teachers and friends, and you don't want to protect those close to you and inherit your own skills, everything is only for your own sake, selfish, and you get into trouble and leave, then it is really chic. But most of such a person does not have the support of a sect family, no teachers and friends to teach and learn, and no stable place to refine spiritual energy and a way to obtain resources—how can he become an immortal?"
"The immortal magic and Taoism of today's world are no longer something that can be cultivated by one person with his head down. Of course, the world is so big, there are always some lucky and great opportunities, maybe you can break through some clues alone. However, for such a loose cultivation, there is basically nothing to say in the immortal cultivation world, if you can kill it, you can kill it, but you can't kill it, and you think you're unlucky. Anyway, he didn't have any scruples, and that person didn't scruple about killing him. It's like dealing with those goblins, but it's easy. ”
Huang Chang's words made his brother's face change several times, and after a long while, he said in a low voice:
"Sounds even more brutal than our gangsters. ”
"Indeed, the most vendetta on the rivers and lakes is until one party dies, and in our hands, death is not the final ending......"
When Huang Chang used the "soul searching" technique on the wreckage of Yuan Fifteen in the past few days, he did not hide it from Huang Xu, who knew what he meant, and couldn't help but sigh again.
At the end of the words, Huang Chang patted his brother on the shoulder:
"Anyway, Ah Xu, you remember: between monks, once a war starts, don't think about keeping your hands, and killing each other with all your strength is the best choice. This time, we have a truce with Su Tiecheng, on the one hand, the two sides have not officially started fighting, and they are only in the stage of calculating each other. He did move out with a sufficient amount of guarantor. On the other hand, it is precisely because he is not a casual cultivator, but also has a foundation here, that we take a step forward. But it's a risk—it's just that I can control it. ”
"In short, in the rivers and lakes, if you don't want to grasp the initiative, then it will be someone else's turn to control your destiny - our own lives must be in our own hands!"
............
With several large truckloads of things moved into the Huang Mansion and the manor outside the city changing hands, the conflict between the Huang family and the Su family came to an end. This did not cause much turmoil between the cities and the city, and most of the people probably did not even notice that such a conflict had occurred.
But in the officialdom of the Baoguo Kingdom, as well as among those families with immortal cultivators and martial arts people, this is an incident that cannot be ignored. Because it means that in the Bao country, there is another member who can really be called a "ruler family"!
——In this world, although everyone knows that "immortals come out of ordinary people", no matter how powerful they are, they are originally cultivated from ordinary mortals, but the strength level of ordinary people is too low after all, and they can only be protected and ruled by the group. Only those who possess extraordinary power are the true rulers of this world.
The innate martial artist can barely touch the threshold, and the immortal cultivator is the real core. But no matter whether they practice immortal law or martial arts, as long as they can cultivate family members with extraordinary powers, this family is qualified to participate in the power struggle of the Bao Kingdom, and they can keep pace with these old families.
And this Huang clan has just emerged, and they can force the originally quite strong Tielingzhuang Su clan to bow their heads, which naturally shows their strength.
