Chapter 15 The use of the human heart

"Sikong Shaoxia?

Bang bang bang a few knocks on the door, Sikong Gu opened his eyes, sat up, raised his eyes and looked out the window, the rain last night had long since stopped, and now the sun was shining outside the window, as if the sun had risen three poles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Why did you come to look for me at this time......?

The person who knocked on the door was Dongfang Ling, who was ordered by Nangong Jun to assist Sikong Gu to come to Jiangning to rebuild Sikong Gu's house and obey Sikong Gu's orders. Although the number of Cao Gang is not large, they can be regarded as old rivers and lakes, Dongfang Ling is not very old among them, but he is only thirty-six years old, but he has been listed in the Who's Who's Who, ranking ninety-one. can be regarded as the number one person in the rivers and lakes, and he is also the fourth master of the Cao Gang - after Li Zhouheng's death, Dongfang Ling is the third master.

Although Nangong Jun said that the number of dispatches is not large, they are all experienced people in the rivers and lakes, if they are arranged according to age, Dongfang Ling can be regarded as a junior among them, but if they are ranked according to martial arts, he is the only one of these people who is on the Who's List, and he is naturally his foreman.

Along the way, the resentment between Sikong Gu and Dongfang Ling gradually disappeared, although Dongfang Ling looked down on Sikong Gu and other "scheming" people, but he still admired Sikong Gu's insight and martial arts. It's just that Dongfang Ling didn't know that the young gang leader Li Zhou, whom he admired the most, died under Sikong Gu's calculations, otherwise he would not have publicized Sikong Gu's genius when all the heroes from all walks of life defected to Sikong Gu.

Sikong Gu knows better than anyone that in order to revitalize a declining family, silver and reputation alone have no effect, and how to use silver and reputation is the key to everything. Although Mr. Wu left countless real estate and money, and Sikong Gu made a reputation for shocking martial arts with the battle of Yangzhou, this does not mean that the people of Jianghu will be convinced of him, a hairy boy.

The strength of the rivers and lakes, in the end, depends on whether everyone convinces you or not, otherwise those with more money will only be called rich people, and those with a good reputation will only be regarded as false names. How to gather talents under his command and make these talents obey him is a science.

After all, the rivers and lakes are people-oriented, although Shaolin and Kunlun say that there are few monks and Taoists, but the number of lay disciples is the first in the world, and the two major sects of lay disciples together are enough to compete with Jiangbei Shenmen, and the myths of Shenmen disciples are more than 10,000, but those who can really participate in the bloody battle in the rivers and lakes are only about a few thousand. It's just that although there are many people in the two major factions, they don't have the cohesion of the Shenmen generally, especially the low-level gangs of the Shenmen, after drinking the runic water one by one and smearing it with chicken blood, they are even better than the elite of the forbidden army.

There have always been rumors in the rivers and lakes: If Yang Feiqiu rebels, then it will be no problem to capture Tokyo with the disciples of the Divine Sect alone.

Of course, this rumor has only been circulating in Jiangnan, so it has not attracted the attention of the government, after all, there are also rumors in Jiangbei that Li Fu of Jiangnan League is a descendant of the Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty and is here to oppose Song Futang.

In short, no matter which force rises in the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to complete it with the power of one person, and if Sikong Gu wants to revive the Sikong family, he naturally needs manpower to help.

After all, this is just a river and lake, the so-called one person and one sword, white-clothed Aoxue, that is the East China Sea Sword Immortal, become an immortal, where can you still think about Fan?

Bang bang bang.

Three knocks on the door came again, and Sikong Gu responded: "Brother Dongfang will wait, and the younger brother will go down in a while." ”

When the Situ brothers came to look for Sikong Gu yesterday, Sikong Gu was discussing with Dongfang Ling and others about how to do the first step. Although Sikong Gu knows it in his heart, he still has to make an appearance, so as not to do everything cleanly and leave no credit to others, which is a taboo for the commander.

So, after the Situ brothers left, Sikong Gu talked with everyone again, and finally agreed that this morning, Sikong Gu would inform everyone of the final plan in the lobby under the bag.

Dongfang Ling saw that Sikong Gu had not gone downstairs for a long time, and there was no trace of the door being opened, so he hurried to the door of Sikong Gu's room and knocked on the door heavily. In Dongfang Ling's view, Sikong Gu is extremely punctual, and it is impossible to have anything that happens to be on the sun but still sleeping in bed, and it is Sikong Gu who has an accident, so he ignores etiquette in a hurry.

Now that Sikong Gu's words of response came into his ears, Dongfang Ling didn't feel a little sleepy when he heard this, and said that Sikong Gu had an accident, so he said: "Sikong Shaoxia, I'll come in?"

Sikong Gu's eyes rolled, and he guessed what this big man was thinking in his heart, and only sighed that he was still too polite and virtuous on weekdays, which actually made Dongfang Ling misunderstand that he was a self-denying person, and it seemed that he would have to behave more lust in the future, so that he could make them more moved when he was gracious.

"Brother Dongfang, come in. ”

Dongfang Ling hurriedly pushed open the door, but unexpectedly, Sikong Gu was disheveled at this time, and his cloak was scattered, so that he did not have the usual calm look. It's just that looking at Sikong Gu's appearance, there probably hasn't been any accidents, right?

Thinking of this, Dongfang Ling still didn't understand that Sikong Gu was snooze. There was some resentment in his heart, and his tone was a little stiff: "Sikong Shaoxia, everyone is waiting below." ”

"I'm sorry, I was so late that I had a guest visit last night. ”

Hearing this, Dongfang Ling was stunned, and looked left and right for a while, as if he was looking for traces of a fight, but in the Sikong Lonely House, except for the broken wood wreckage that was knocked out by Situ Bai's body, where are there any new traces of fighting?

I heard Sikong Gu explain: "They didn't pick quarrels and provoke trouble, they just came to talk to me about a business." ”

"Talk...... Business?"

The more Dongfang Ling listened, the more he felt that the clouds and mountains were covered in fog, and he didn't know why.

At this time, Sikong Gu was roughly dressed up, hung up the new sword, and walked towards the door blocked by Dongfang Ling.

"Let's go down. ”

In the corridor, Sikong Gu could hear the chaotic voices in the lobby, and there were no less than a hundred reckless people who came to him, but there were only a few people who were regarded as the future elders of the Sikong family by his side, and those people were either wise or outstanding in martial arts. Of course, Sikong Gu also knows the method of buying bones with a thousand dollars, and there are also a few mediocre talents who are mixed up with the pearls and become the effect of "horse bones".

Walking down the stairs, Sikong Gu's eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and the chaotic sound gradually subsided, everyone raised their heads, watched this young talent walk into the hall step by step, and saw him clasp his hands into fists, and said "I'm sorry".

Most of the people hadn't reacted yet, but they heard Sikong say in a lonely voice: "If the Sikong family can get the help of all the heroes, it will definitely be able to revive the glory of the past." ”

Although they didn't know why, seeing Sikong Gu's solemn expression and sonorous words, everyone had to become serious.

"It's just that in Jiangning City, there are some people who don't want the Sikong family to rise again, do you know, who are they?"

Sikong Gu's cold eyes swept over everyone over and over again before he spoke slowly.
