Chapter 309: Difficult to Knock on (Part I)
Zhao Ling was stunned, and his fists clenched in anger. Chen Ao's attitude made her feel very sad. Although Zhao Ling himself doesn't know why he is sad.
With someone like Chen Ao, she shouldn't have cared about it. annoyed her several times, even if she didn't kill her, she would be imprisoned. But instead of doing this, Zhao Ling cared about Chen Ao's feelings. What the hell is going on?
Zhao Ling's thoughts were chaotic, and after a while, he let go of his clenched hands, sighed softly, and regained his lofty expression. She whispered, "Forget it...... Whether you believe it or not, it's up to you. However, in this Shaolin Temple, it is very dangerous. If we don't want to die here, you'll have to listen to me!"
"Why?" Chen Ao sneered, "Just because you are now the Chen Helm Master of the Salt Gang?"
He deliberately dragged out the tone of Lord Chen Helm as sharp and long, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart to the fullest.
Zhao Ling sighed: "I can give you back the identity of this helmsman." You can still participate in this martial arts conference, and I will help you fulfill your promise to the Pure Dust Master. I only hope that you and I will put aside the grievances for the time being and walk out of Shaolin alive. ”
Chen Ao heard Zhao Ling say sincerely, and he was embarrassed to be aggressive anymore. Besides, as soon as he vented it, the resentment in his heart had almost disappeared.
He nodded and said, "Hmm...... All right. What kind of danger do you say is in Shaolin? You are such a powerful character, but you are also afraid?"
Zhao Ling saw that his attitude was finally better, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, and said, "Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Over the years, I have developed and grown little by little, and it is natural to be cautious......"
When Chen Ao heard her say this, his heart softened, and he secretly thought, alas, she is pitiful. It took more than ten years to create a gang from scratch alone. It's really a little unwilling to be taken away like this......
When he thought about it, he felt that what Zhao Ling did was not a heinous crime. The resentment in his heart suddenly dissipated invisibly, but he became more sympathetic to Zhao Ling.
In fact, Chen Ao was not annoyed by Zhao Ling's seizure of power. He is not a power-hungry person, nor is he a goal-oriented person. The reason why he has come to this point today is purely to catch ducks on the shelves. In Liangcheng, it was because he couldn't see the Liang Mansion oppressing the people, and it was also to save his own life, so he rose up to resist and fight against the Liang Mansion.
Later, he was trapped in the salt works, and it was also in order to survive that he instigated the coolies to rebel. After the rebellion was successful, he had hundreds of lives and deaths on his shoulders, and Chen Ao had no choice but to fight for the title of helmsman. Later, it was also because of the assassination directed by Xiong Guang that he made up his mind to consolidate the power of the Salt Gang and strengthen his own power.
Therefore, even if the position of the helmsman of the Salt Gang was really snatched away by Zhao Ling, Chen Ao would not be fine. As for the token, it originally belonged to Zhao Ling. Zhao Ling was able to snatch it, and Chen Ao could only blame himself for his poor ability, and Su Zhuo was not a person.
What Chen Ao really felt angry about was that he took out his heart and lungs and introduced Zhao Ling as a confidant. Who knew that she was hiding so deeply, and she had been playing him like a monkey all along. Chen Ao is the most unbearable to be betrayed by his friends.
Zhao Ling continued: "Chen Ao, with your cleverness, how can you not see the strangeness of this Shaolin Temple? It didn't feel like hospitality, it felt like surveillance. And when I entered the temple, I didn't see the appearance of the senior monks of the pure character generation, and they have always been these juniors. Don't you feel suspicious at all?"
Hearing her reminder, Chen Ao suddenly felt that there was something strange in it. As soon as he encountered something that might cause danger to himself, he immediately calmed down and muttered: "After you say this, I have also found that I always feel strange all this way, as if there are a pair of eyes behind my back. ”
Zhao Ling said: "Master Jingchen said that several masters of Shaolin are gone, which may be a reflection of what we see today." Assuming that this Shaolin Temple has fallen into someone's hands, then all this makes sense! The monks of Shaolin Temple have never been afraid of power, and this person will inevitably strictly control several high-ranking monks with high moral standing and give orders in their name. ”
Chen Ao said: "You have a lot of ideas, what are you going to do?"
Zhao Ling glanced at him, and when he looked at it, there was a different style. Chen Ao was really excited, and such a hot and cold attitude really made him a little unbearable.
Zhao Ling said: "If it is really as I assume, then several masters such as Jingxiang must still be in this temple. If we want to find their whereabouts, we must first know who is making waves in this Shaolin Temple! Fortunately, there are not many people living in this Zen temple now, so let's look for them one by one, and we will soon find out. ”
Chen Ao smiled: "There's no need to be so troublesome. The face of this villain must be extremely obscene and treacherous. I can see it at a glance!"
He laughed proudly twice, and suddenly thought that Zhao Ling had deceived him for so long, and he had never noticed it. So, the laughter suddenly seemed very embarrassing.
Zhao Ling didn't refute him, and said with a smile: "Okay, then this matter will depend on you a lot!"
Chen Ao's eyes rolled, and he quickly calculated in his heart. This matter was originally entrusted to him by Jingchen, and he was duty-bound. But today, Zhao Ling tied him up the mountain and successfully mixed in under his identity. This can't just be left at that.
Chen Ao thought at first that he must rectify Zhao Ling when he seized the opportunity. But at this time, Zhao Ling's kind words made Chen Ao's heart soften. He thought about it, this river and lake was originally the law of the jungle. Zhao Ling has worked hard for many years, and what he has done is understandable.
And he wasn't very enthusiastic about power. When Xuanning grabbed Biqing Village, the biggest ideal was to soak Xuanning in his hands and live a happy life in the cottage. Later, for the life and death of Biqingzhai, he had to go to Liangcheng to take office, and he just wanted to be a small sesame official in a remote area. It's a pity that what the Liang Mansion has done can't allow him to be comfortable, as long as he continues to fight until now.
Now that the situation of the Salt Gang has gradually stabilized, the old guys who followed themselves to "do revolution" in the rich salt factory will definitely not be in danger anymore. This Jianghu is too sinister, and it is really not suitable for people like him to mix in. He finally understands today that people in the rivers and lakes can't help themselves. Even if you don't get into trouble, there will always be endless troubles waiting for you.
If the rapids retreat bravely at this time, it is not a good idea to withdraw from this treacherous and deceitful rivers and lakes. Anyway, I have made a lot of black money now, and I have dealt with some local officials. If you go to Jiangnan to buy a garden, buy hundreds of acres of fertile land, and become a small feudal landlord......
Days like this are desirable to think about. It would be even more perfect if you could find Xuanning and come back to the local housewife!
Thinking of this, Chen Ao seemed to have finally found his goal in life, and his heart suddenly became cheerful. The smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he said, "Okay! But I'm going to say it up front, and when we're done with this, we'd better go our separate ways. The seat of the helmsman of the Salt Gang is also given to you. The token of the Demon Hidden Society, you can take it. Hey, I can't play this game with you guys. Let's go our separate ways, I'll be my little landlord to be comfortable!"
After Zhao Ling heard what he said, the hand holding the teacup couldn't help but shake, and spilled the tea on the table.
No wonder he suddenly stopped getting angry, it turned out that he had this in mind...... Zhao Ling thought to himself, and his nose couldn't help but sour.
