MTL - Zhui Xu-~ Chapter 111?
"He Wen refuses to talk about..."
…
The night was restless.
With his hands behind his back, Lin Zongwu paced slowly under the eaves of the palace, feeling the floating hearts rushing towards him like heat waves. . .
In the main hall of the New Tiger Palace, Xu Zhaonan was having a meeting with many high-level figures under his command, but he did not go there. Coming all the way from Jindi, Jiang Ning's situation was far more complicated than he had imagined. The moment He Wentu was rumored to see him, he also had his own things to think about carefully.
Wang Nanda came trotting here from the other end of the courtyard.
After hugging Lin Zongwu, he approached.
"I inquired carefully...I also checked with people outside twice. He Wen refused to talk about it. He has the final say on the matter of the study club... There will be a big event tomorrow, but let's talk about it, the real big event, God. The collapse of the five-party talks before the black has already been decided..."
"Why did He Wen do this? Doesn't he know the fate of people's disobedience?"
"He said all his innovative ideas in detail, and published them in a book. Some inquires are already helping to spread the news. There are some specific things that conflict with us, mainly in terms of execution..."
Wang Nanda said these things in a low voice, and also briefly talked about the conflicts in the afternoon meeting. Lin Zongwu was silent for a while.
"It sounds like a good thing. But what can a cow do if it presses its head forcibly without drinking water..."
"Xu Gong and senior brother said..."
"Basically, he relayed the matter to me exactly." Lin Zongwu sighed, "It's not easy to lie to me face to face, but this He Wen... is really..."
"According to outsiders, He Wen has long been insane. He was loyal to the court, but he was wronged by the court. After a lot of torture, his whole family was ruined. Without his family, he always likes to do outrageous things."
"But he has the title of King of Fairness after all. If he wants to mess around, the other four will be very troublesome."
"Yes, Mr. Xu and the others are embarrassing because of this." Wang Nanda was silent for a moment, "Brother, if you are still undecided about this matter, let's leave. To be honest, what He Wen said seems to be It's extreme, but... it's not unreasonable."
"... Ning Yi's idea sounds interesting." Lin Zongwu walked forward slowly, "I have also read a few words in the booklet of the reading club these days. There is a saying that the more ambitious the idea, The more you have to recognize the clear rules, the more you have to impose strict rules, if you can’t do these two things, ideals will only turn into disasters... It’s not unreasonable, it’s very interesting.”
"Brother..."
"But...Ning Yi's idea, hasn't it been realized yet?" Lin Zongwu looked at the distance of the city, "Ning Yi still can't realize his idea, then He Wen...how much disaster will it cause..."
The great monk frowned slightly and sighed.
Although I have said this, I haven't really made up my mind. The two walked slowly forward in the long corridor...
…
"...He Wen's words are very beautiful, and he has thought carefully, just to wave the flag to the book club, and to make his thoughts clear to the world...He states his interests and earnestly speaks earnestly, but in the end, he only needs one person to make the final say. A lot of things, in the end, it is just to seize power by borrowing the name of the book club and Southwest... So do you want to join the group? Who wants to be inferior to He Wen, Fu Pingbo, or even their little brats... No one will tolerate him , these things will eventually fall on the battlefield..."
"...I have already communicated with Gao, Shi, and Zhou. We will also do the internal reform of the fair party. As for fighting He Wen, it is a good thing to fight. It is just to see where the tacit understanding between the four of us is. Let's see if He Wen can't talk, can we talk... After a fight, we will know where the other's bottom line is, and we will know who is the real brother, and whoever has to be careful... As for He Wen, one fights four, He's going to die sooner or later..."
"...Then the next step is our side, the specific method...First of all, the matters on the battlefield, General Gao, still have to be taken care of by you, according to the previous arrangement..."
In the main hall of the New Tiger Palace, flames were blazing. Below Xu Zhaonan, a well-known high-ranking "king of the wheel" set up a chair in the hall. People began to discuss countermeasures for the changes that happened in the afternoon, and some people spoke from time to time. Around the main hall, all the staff and entourages came and went, and they were extremely busy.
Regarding the changes in He Wen's army in various places, everyone had noticed a few days earlier, and because of this, the countermeasures were not particularly hasty. It's just that such an astonishing thing has turned from speculation to reality, and a big battle related to the entire Jiangnan is directly in front of us, which still makes everyone feel strange.
It was supposed to be a harmonious and harmonious victory, but in the end, it suddenly turned into a terrifying war that was about to burn the entire south of the Yangtze River. The whole thing seemed to be going well, and He Wen resolutely turned around and left one step before ascending to the throne of great power. While people were amazed at his crazy behavior, they couldn't help admiring the other party's amazing determination.
Of course, no matter what thoughts he has in mind, no one can be optimistic about He Wen's future path. As Xu Zhaonan said, beautiful words are good words. With these beautiful words, a large group of people let go of power, and then accept the recruitment of their opponents and enemies in the past, and put their wealth and life in the hands of those who were able to sit on an equal footing in the past , this is an unacceptable choice for anyone who has experienced hard work and won a place in troubled times.
He Wen naturally knew this truth, so he did not place his hopes on such persuasion.
The people in Xinhu Palace, representing one-fifth of the power in the entire south of the Yangtze River, have turned around quickly. And it's not just the New Tiger Palace. The entire Jiangning, which represents the power core of the five factions of the Fair Party and other large and small forces, is working at full strength and making decisions in constant gatherings and meetings at this moment. The terrible news of the coming war spread like a tidal wave from the moment the meeting ended.
Various small forces from other places gradually got accurate information, and a famous green forest person who was celebrating and having a banquet in the Golden Tower gradually heard the terrible rumors, and people were even a little dazed for a while.
"Then what about the next final...?"
"Is the tournament still open..."
The top four of the Jiangning martial arts competition were just decided this afternoon. If He Wen breaks with the kings, will the conference...will continue?
People gradually stopped feasting and went to various places in the city to find relationships and inquire about information, and then various public opinions appeared in different places.
The city is like a huge, sophisticated but outdated machine, running at full speed under the sudden arrival of a huge load, its body seems to be buzzing in the night...
And only the refugees at the lowest level were amazed at this strange night, and in these recent days, they had regained their calm once again. There were occasional small murders in the dark, but there were no large-scale fights led by the five parties of the Fair Party.
"...Wars and revolutions are long-term things. From tonight, I will follow this arrangement and let you gentlemen do it. But in front of you, there is one more thing... In the past few months, since all parties in the world entered the city, why not Wen deliberately wanted to sing a big play. This afternoon, he had already started the play, and tomorrow morning, he was going to sing this play in front of the eyes of the whole world... Now that he has decided to play, this time Taiwan opera, I will make him unable to sing!"
"...The order he wants to issue, we will prevent him from issuing it! I will prevent him from doing what he wants to do! Jiangning is only a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, but now it is the place where the whole world pays attention. And in this area place, we have to let the whole world see that he is fair to the king, and what he says doesn't count... So in Jiangning City today, which side has the most masters? It's here, so tomorrow's matter will be left to Mr. Tan, Mr. Xu, hand it over to the Dharma protectors of Shengjiao. We will cut off He Wen's hands and feet tomorrow, and pull out his tongue... Our specific arrangement for this matter is as follows..."
In the blazing New Tiger Palace in the bronze tripod, everything is being arranged step by step. After the meeting, there will be private appointments. Meng Zhutao was one of the few people with the highest status at the moment, and he was also the first to be interviewed alone. When he came out from the rear, he saw that most of the crowd in front of the palace hadn't dispersed.
A familiar person came over: "Brother Meng thinks, how many people will be with He Wen..."
Xu Longbiao's smile was ambiguous: "After the meeting was over, someone assassinated Shi Baofeng immediately. Although he didn't succeed, people's hearts were fluttering...how many people believed in the reading club stuff..."
"Heavenly Knife" Tan Zheng and "Wu Luo Zhan" Tang Qinghua also came over to say hello one after another: "I have something to do in the future, please take care of Mr. Meng."
Among the top executives on the side of the "King of the Wheel", some are like Tan Zheng, Tang Qinghua, and Xu Longbiao, who can be regarded as noble aides and guest ministers, and some, like Gao Huiyun, Meng Zhutao, and Chen Juefang, are like Gao Huiyun, Meng Zhutao, and Chen Juefang. The big bosses with tens of thousands of people, even though they are said to have similar status, but Meng Zhuotao is in charge of the "Resentment Society". Innovation, he must be in charge of the criminal law.
After tonight, Tan Zheng and others had to stay in the city, while Gao Huiyun, Meng Zhuotao and others began to manipulate the situation in Jiangnan. Everyone wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to meet for the last time to deepen their friendship.
Meng Zhutao socialized one by one, and finally came out hand in hand with Gao Huiyun, both of them still had their own forces to manage, and both had a lot of arrangements to follow.
Saying goodbye to Gao Huiyun on the street outside the New Tiger Palace, Meng Zhutao got into the carriage, and Ling Xiao, his deputy, was already waiting here: "I have already inquired about the situation on Shigong's side, and the one who did it was indeed a person from the book club. He was encouraged by listening to King Ping's words, and wanted to kill Shi Gong first to congratulate King Ping. It's just that the method was rough, and he didn't escape Shi Gong's eyes."
Meng Zhutao nodded: "I have some thoughts, please write them down..."
The carriage passed through the bright or dark streets of the city, and after returning to the place where the members of the "Resentment Society" were at this time, there were a few more small meetings. Meng Zhutao held the meeting very quickly. He summoned the staff and ordered arrangements one by one. During the interval of the meeting, the deputy came in to report one piece of new news. He also asked the deputy to make other arrangements, such as "call Dr. Sun over here." , "Arrange a convoy that can send people out of the city" and so on. During the order, I also immersed myself in writing some letters.
At three o'clock in Haishi, there was a strange movement at the northern end of the city. Meng Zhuotao and the others went to a high place to look around, and saw arrows flying one after another in the northwest sky, followed by faint sounds of siege and killing. Everyone had been through the green forest for a long time, and after watching for a while, someone said: "It is the assassination of the fair king..."
"Did Shi Baofeng do it?"
"This assassination seems to be done by their own people. You see, the roundup is from the inside out... This is the assassin's escape..."
He Wen made every effort to use the reading club to mix sand under the command of various opponents, but as former companions, how could everyone not have any arrangements among the forces of the "King of Fairness"? Now that they have turned their backs, someone directly resorted to assassination. In a sense, this assassin also made his own choice for the idea that King Fairness wanted to promote.
The movement of rounding up lasted for a while before subsiding.
After the last small meeting, a deputy named Ling Xiao was arranged to go out to find out the news. Meng Zhutao sat in the study for a while, got cold water to wash himself, and then he walked through Langyuan and walked towards the deepest part of the house.
In the small courtyard at the core of the house, Dr. Sun was summoned to wait for him in the ward. This is the room where junior brother Yu Bin has been sleeping. After Meng Zhuotao accidentally injured him that night in the Jinlou, the other party is still in a coma. According to the doctor's last diagnosis, the situation has not turned around, but this time he invited the other party over again.
The situation in the city outside was not very peaceful. The doctor named Sun didn't have many complaints about being summoned. In the courtyard, the junior sister and the other two junior brothers did not fall asleep. When they saw him coming, their eyes were angry and they wanted to He wants to ask what happened outside, but he refuses to speak in a negotiating tone.
Meng Zhutao entered the ward and looked at Yu Bin for a while: "My junior brother... is it really impossible to wake up again..."
This is not the first questioning, the doctor sighed, and then told the general result again, the body seems to still have breath, but the soul is no longer in it, even if it is barely taken care of, it will only prolong the pain and so on...
Meng Zhuotao pulled up a chair and sat down. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand to let the doctor leave. But when the other party went out, he said again: "Doctor Sun, do you... want to leave the city today?"
The doctor also had a source of information, so he nodded vigorously at this time: "I, I still have a son and daughter-in-law at home..."
"Have someone pick them up, I'll have a convoy later, I'll take you out along the way..." Meng Zhutao smiled, "The city is not peaceful, so don't stay any longer."
The doctor quickly nodded his thanks, Meng Zhutao waved his hand again, and asked people to leave the place.
He sat on the chair beside the bed, quietly watching Yu Bin lying there, and sat silently for a long time. This was something he had never done every time he came here in the past.
Perhaps because she sensed something was wrong, Ling Chu from the yard outside appeared at the door. She opened her mouth and finally said, "You, what are you going to do..."
Meng Zhutao didn't look at her: "...all of you come in."
"you you…"
Ling Chu was still hesitating.
Meng Zhutao pressed his palm on the armrest of the chair, and a voice like thunder came out suddenly: "Come in!"
Having seen him threaten others, Ling Chu and his two juniors gritted their teeth, and finally walked into the room one after another, with an expression of "Although you are fierce, I am not afraid of you". Meng Zhutao's gaze swept over the three of them, and the sternness in his eyes faded away.
"There's going to be an accident in the city. After a while...a convoy will take you out of the city. Dr. Sun's family will also go with you...cross the river and go back to the village."
Ling Chu raised his neck: "We, where we go...you don't have to worry about it."
"There is going to be a war in the south of the Yangtze River. It is safest to run far away. Don't stay here." Meng Zhuotao looked at the faces of the two juniors, "You two men, take responsibility and don't let a woman fool around. .”
"You..." Someone sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and frowned. Ling Chu wanted to say something tough, but at this moment, he froze for a moment, unable to speak out.
Meng Zhutao was also silent for a while, and then he heard him say: "... For a long time, I have regarded you as my nephews. It is a good thing for you to marry Ling Chu, the fourth child. You don't have to be jealous of me in the future. Master's business In the future, we have a mortal enmity... we can seek revenge, one day in the future, we will experience more things, improve our martial arts skills, and come back with confidence, the matter of Master Tanji..."
When he said this, he also paused for a moment, raised his hand and pressed his upper lip, and said with difficulty: "...don't have any more."
"Master Tanji..." Ling Chu said, "You killed him, don't make it sound like it was our sin!"
"Master Tanji was killed by me, Master was killed by me, and Yu Bin who couldn't wake up from the bed... was also killed by me. But what?" Meng Zhuotao looked at them, "I am a bad person, I They are still alive, they are good people, and they died one by one. You are also good people, and when I want you to die, none of you will survive, so what will you good people do? Wait for the bad people to give you alms!?"
Third Junior Brother stepped forward: "Then Senior Brother, you can also kill us with your own hands."
"I won't kill you." Meng Zhuotao looked at them with pity, "You do it with me, and you don't even have the chance of letting me miss like Yu Bin. You look like this, why should I kill you..."
He paused: "Let's go, let you avoid seeking revenge, it's not for me, it's for Master... For the sake of the old hero Ling, you said I let you go this time, and I will let you go next time." I let you go, I watched you grow up, it doesn't matter if I let you go ten times or a hundred times, but if you say it out, don't you lose face? After going out, eat more food, practice martial arts more, and train yourself to a great extent. In the future, there will be One day, you came here to seek revenge, and either killed me cleanly, or...like Master and Master Tanji, forcing me to fight with my life with all my might, at that time, whoever killed who...was fine."
What he said made the three of them speechless, Ling Chu's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth. Meng Zhuotao sat there, looking at Yu Bin who was breathing weakly. After a while, he put one hand on his forehead and rubbed it.
"Speaking of which, I'm older than you, and I'm also an art director. There are some things that I've never told you." He sat there and spoke slowly, "Up to now, most of the things have There's no need to say it, I can't figure it out myself, but I want to tell you today..."
I just heard him say: "I am from the north, and you are from the south. You may know some of the differences... I am an art investment teacher. When I arrive at the Ling family, I will take care of you. You have been in the Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River all your life." , I’m not rich, and I’ve experienced military disasters, but most of the time, I and my master are there to take care of you. You say, you have to give up your life for righteousness. It must make me feel good.”
"But, children..." Meng Zhuotao's eyes were calm, "I came from the north, and I am an art investment teacher. Have you ever seen the real scene of the fall of the Central Plains and the ravages of war? I have seen such things, your brother and I have fought against the Jin people, lost, and fled all the way south... I have seen people who sacrifice their lives for righteousness, but I have also seen most of them. They went all the way south, killing, eating Avalokitesvara, eating children, kowtow to people, and selling yourself, just to...survive..."
"Jiangnan has been in peace for ten years, and finally I can't escape it. In the past ten years, you have seen all good things, but I knew that they would come... I want people to survive, and I have to decide who to let go Death. Master, an old man, hopes that I can save those who cannot be saved. I also think, Master, he hopes that I will do things with both hands clean. I also want to, but both hands are clean. If you are clean, you can’t save people, everyone is hiding in the mountains, others will definitely eat me, I can only eat others first, because with this decision, I can save the most people.”
"Master finally broke with me. He chose to sacrifice his life for righteousness. I admire it very much, and I understand it very well. But do you know what I chose?"
"No matter what method I use, in this world, I want to keep the most people alive. It is better to survive eleven people than only ten people. It is better to let one hundred people survive than eighty people." It is better for individuals to survive, everyone's life is the same... This is the equality of everyone, this is the fairness in my heart."
When he said this, the eyes of the people on the opposite side shook, and the third junior brother said: "You...you thought it was these beautiful words again..."
"That's not a pretty word, third child." Meng Zhutao shook his head, "This world is evil, but everyone has their own answer to this world. I fled all the way south, saw many things, and found this The answer, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, is the answer right or wrong, I still can’t think of it very clearly... The old hero Ling said that he would give up his life for righteousness, which is also an answer. I am very envious of this answer. Each of you must have your own The answer, if not, in such a wicked world, your life will only be worse."
He smiled: "I'm just telling you that one day you will meet countless people who died in front of you, not just the few people who died in front of you, but the people who died in the entire Jiangnan There are tens of thousands, at that time, how do you think about those lives, I am very curious, you have to remember today's problem..."
At this point, Meng Zhuotao stretched out his hand, and in the room, Ling Chu suddenly opened his eyes wide: "What are you doing—"
In the dimness, I saw Meng Zhuotao stretching out his right hand and pressing Yu Bin's mouth and nose. Yu Bin on the bed didn't make much movement. Ling Chu and his two senior brothers had already rushed forward. With a wave, push them away.
In the middle of the night, the silhouettes of the three people in the room rushed forward, and the figure of Meng Zhuaotao beside the bed was like a rock in the light of the oil lamp. No matter how the three attacked and fought, even Ling Chu bit his left hand, His palm covering Yu Bin's mouth and nose did not move at all.
"You are too weak, in the future..."
Amidst the silhouette's hysterical attacks and roars, he spoke calmly and in a low voice.
"... In the future... you must remember what happened today."
…
At a certain moment, the demon **** in the room moved his hand away, and his cold eyes swept over the three of them, Ling Chu's body collapsed to the ground.
That demon-like figure...finally came out through the door...
out of their sight...
Time passed midnight, there are still countless manias, flipping in the night...
The volcano in the south of the Yangtze River is about to erupt...
