Chapter XVII Reasons for Refusal

Under the guidance of Yueqing, Dongyu walked into an elegant living room.

The gold and jade splendor here, the bead curtain dream, the mural landscape, the screen is green, and the air exudes bursts of sandalwood, making people feel like they are in a dream. I have to praise the owners here very much!

"The prince is really interested!" Dongyu laughed twice, stepped forward, and found a soft seat very casually, as if returning to his own room.

There was a slight sound behind the screen, and a man with white gold rim walked out slowly.

This person's face is like a crown of jade, his eyebrows are like a sharp sword, his figure is tall, his eyes are proud, and he wants to come to the heroic body is nothing more than that! Look at the man's head with jasper and gold, and a belt woven of gold wire around his waist, between his gestures, showing a luxurious atmosphere, this person is Zhu Kangjing, the king of the Ming and Song Dynasty...... And in the rivers and lakes, he also has a pseudonym, Wang Song.

"I haven't seen him for a few months, but the prince is still the same. Dongyu squinted and smiled, his deep eyes shining with a wise light.

Zhu Kangjing smiled but didn't answer, and gently soothed Yueqing, then turned to Dongyu and said: "I heard that the master of the Mahayana will be the master, it's really gratifying!"

Dong Yu restrained his smile and said very seriously: "The prince said that he laughed, no matter how strong his personal strength is, it is always difficult to defeat the general trend of the world, and his iron and blood are still inferior to the prince, how can the little brother compare to the hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers of the prince." ”

"The master's martial arts are world-famous, how can he be arrogant!"

"Where, where. ”

Nonsense, both are talking nonsense.

Dongyu and Zhu Kangjing looked at each other, couldn't help laughing, and drank the wine glass.

......

After some gossip, Zhu Kangjing's voice changed in vain, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know if the Iron Blood Guild Master, do you still remember the agreement between us?"

Dongyu smiled and nodded, but secretly sneered in his heart: "If you say what kind of agreement it is, it's better to say that it's just mutual use." If it weren't for our common enemy, I would have been with you. If you want to swallow my brotherhood, I'm afraid your wishful thinking is wrong!"

At the beginning, the winter rain was too weak to support the "giant tree". In order to take revenge, he agreed to cooperate with Zhu Kangjing, take advantage of the other party's momentum to develop the power of the rivers and lakes, and try to control the situation in the rivers and lakes. Now that the Brotherhood has achieved such an achievement, Zhu Kangjing's support is the cornerstone of the force. It's just that neither of them is a good master, and conspiring with the wolf is like a thorn in the back, which makes people feel at ease. It was Zhu Kangjing who was bent on annexing the power of the Brotherhood, while Dong Yu was thinking about how to use his own advantages to eat away at the other party's power.

Zhu Kangjing frowned and continued, "Since the guild lord still remembers the agreement between us, why didn't the guild lord secretly help this king when fighting for Musashi?"

Dongyu seemed to have thought of his words a long time ago, drank a glass of wine, and said as if the old god was there: "The prince should understand very well what happened that day, and it is in vain for your own people to do their best, if I don't act in time, my subordinates may not be able to come back." Treasures have spirits, and they can choose their own masters, and some things are reluctant, so it's no wonder that I have such a chance...... Moreover, since these days, I have helped you control the trend of the rivers and lakes, but the prince has not seized the opportunity. ”

Dongyu's words are very clear, and his meaning implies that the other party is immoral and incompetent, and if he had been out of the horse, it would have been done a long time ago.

Zhu Kang Jingqiang pressed the anger in his heart, so he said in a stateless manner: "I have seized the opportunity, and I am about to succeed, but I didn't expect to lose in the end, and I lost to the situation...... I heard that 'Knife Maniac' Li Yuefan is your good brother?"

"Not bad!" Dong Yu admitted very calmly, and couldn't help but laugh: "I know that the prince wants me to help you deal with Li Yuefan, but it's ......"

"Tell me your conditions, and I'll try to meet your requirements. Zhu Kangjing interrupted: "He is like an unknown variable, always unconsciously controlling the changes in the situation. When I am trying to achieve great things, I will never allow such people to exist. ”

"I refuse!" said Dongyu stiffly.

"As I said, I will try my best to meet whatever conditions you want. ”

"You can't talk about conditions in everything. Dong Yu's face turned pale, and he said with a serious expression: "He is the only brother in my life, you will never understand, prince." ”

"Is this the reason for your refusal?" Zhu Kangjing said unhappily: "Don't forget, the master of the meeting, we can sit in the same boat now, and Li Yuefan is my enemy, that is, our common enemy." ”

"No!" Dong Yu said calmly: "Our common enemy is only the imperial court, Li Yuefan is my brother, and the grievances between you and him have nothing to do with me." ”

"Aren't you afraid that Li Yuefan will know that you have been helping his enemy? I wonder if he will be sad and painful in the future?"

"Lord Wang, is this threatening me? haha...... Sooner or later, Yue Fan will know about me, and even if he doesn't know, I won't hide it from him. When the time comes, I will give him an explanation, and I won't bother the prince. Hmph!"

"You ......" Zhu Kangjing was about to have a seizure, Yueqing in his arms soothed his chest and said: "Lord Wang, how can the overall situation of the world be determined by the strength of one person, Li Yuefan is only one person in the strong, if the affairs of the frontier are not helped by many people, what can Li Yuefan do alone? We and the Brotherhood should work together to achieve great things, why quarrel over one Li Yuefan." Since the Lord of the Iron Blood Guild has its own principles, we should not force others to make things difficult...... And there are many people who want Li Yuefan to die, even if we don't care about him, will he definitely be safe?"

"Okay! Well said! Miss Yueqing is worthy of the name of a talented woman, and the wisdom of the prince is in harmony, is there anything difficult in the world?" Dongyu praised in his mouth, but secretly sneered in his heart: "Want to deal with Li Yuefan? It's just asking for hardship!hehe~~"

Calming down, Zhu Kangjing eased his emotions and said, "Okay, let's not mention the rest for the time being." The Lord is here today, so he didn't come to enjoy the flowers and drink wine. ”

"Of course. Dong Yu licked the corners of his mouth and said his plan: "Presumably the prince already knows my arrangements for the martial arts conference, right? I still lack some people who are acting in secret, so I want to borrow some people from the prince." In addition, I would like to discuss the specific details with the prince. ”

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Kangjing asked directly: "This king wants to know how sure the Iron Blood Guild Master is at this first martial arts conference?"

Dongyu smiled: "Except for variables, I am very sure. ”

"What about variables?"

"Five points!"

Hearing the words of the winter rain, Zhu Kangjing frowned, and secretly calculated in his heart: "From ten points to five points, the span is indeed very large, but since it is a variable, it must be the main reason for failure." In such a situation, there are still five points of certainty, which can be regarded as powerful! This iron-blooded man is calculating, decisive and ruthless, and he must be careful in conspiring with him......"

After reading it, Zhu Kang nodded and smiled: "It seems that the master of the meeting is very well prepared, and this king does not need to worry." As for the manpower matter, rest assured, I will call you to leave the hatred. ”

"What about the royal family?" Dong Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he stared at the other party and said, "I will fulfill my original promise, but don't forget to promise me!"

"Of course!" Zhu Kangjing picked up his wine glass, took a sip and said: "One of the reasons why I retreated from the northwest is that the imperial court will let down its vigilance, and in less than three months, the imperial court will definitely be under my control...... It's better to use your wits than you can use, and the effect is much better than you think!haha-"

"Chongzhen, just wait, this king wants to let the Ming Dynasty be destroyed by the hands of you, a dog thief, I just want you to die without turning a blind eye! I also want you to die under the hands of your loved ones, ...... death" Zhu Kangjing roared in his heart, his eyes were full of violence, and his anger seemed to swallow hatred!

Yueqing obediently raised his glass and said: "Lord Wang, the master, since we have the chance to win this time, then Yueqing will give you a glass first!"

"Good!"

"!"

......

After talking about business, the three of them had a drink, although they were happy on the surface, but secretly they had their own hearts.

After a while, Dongyu wanted to leave under the pretext of leaving, but Zhu Kangjing knew that he had no intention and did not keep it.

After the guests left, Qingyue got up from Zhu Kangjing's arms and said seriously: "Lord Wang, this person can't see through it, we have to be careful." ”

"People are full of suspicions, if there is no absolute power, who can control their own destiny?" Zhu Kangjing sighed and said: "Iron Blood, this person has a strange personality, which makes people incomprehensible. Every time I see him, I feel a faint pressure, because I will be a little unable to hold my breath just now. Moreover, his martial arts actually entered the realm of the Heavenly Dao, which was beyond my grasp. I can't imagine that a weapon is so powerful!

After a moment of silence, Qingyue lowered her head and said in a soft tone: "Lord Wang, let's find a peaceful place to live after revenge! There is no eternal ruler in the world, and there is no eternal overlord in the rivers and lakes. Maybe one day, we too will die by the sword of our enemies. Perhaps, the people who calculate us in the future will be the people around us. ”

Zhu Kangjing held the wine glass and said: "Qingyue, we are taking a road of no return, if we turn back, we will be doomed! Hongchen Evil Barrier, how can it be so easy to jump out?" After speaking, Zhu Kangjing drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, sweet, hot, and dry! He never understood how a glass of water and wine could have so many flavors?

Qingyue sighed faintly and snuggled up to her beloved's chest again.

......

――――――――――――

Out of the Qingwan Building, it was already late at night.

Dongyu looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, and couldn't help but sigh long, that nostalgic look seemed to hide a lot of thoughts.

Just as he was about to leave, a fat man in brocade clothes stepped forward quickly and arched his hand: "Subordinate Qingshui Gang Hou Man, see the master!"

"Oh, it's you...... It's the middle of the night, why are you here?" Dong Yu was slightly stunned, this Qingshui Gang is a gang of brothers, and the power here in Hanzhong is average, Dong Yu rarely asks about the affairs here, and all of them are handed over to Tong Xiang to deal with. However, Hou Man, the eldest brother of the Qingshui Gang, is a shrewd person, so Dongyu also has a good impression of him.

Hou Man saw that Dongyu remembered himself, and he was secretly happy, and hurriedly said: "There is an urgent letter from the meeting, I think this matter may be very important, so I came here in person, so as not to make any mistakes on the road." With that, Hou Man took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Dongyu.

"Oh! Brother Hou Man has a heart. Dongyu smiled slightly, and his pleasant face looked approachable.

Hou Man didn't dare to take credit, and even said that he should.

After receiving the letter, Dongyu opened it and looked at it, and then his face changed drastically! If he looked as warm as the spring breeze in March just now, then he was as cold as the ice and snow in the cold winter at this time!

Hou Man's mind was clear, and he asked softly, "Master, is there something going on in the meeting......?"

"I will take note of your merits, this matter is very important, and I need to deal with it personally. ”

As soon as the words fell, the winter rain had disappeared under the vast night sky.
