Hu Beizong raised his head and looked at the person who came, and saw Luan Yunfei slowly walking towards him. Knowing that the situation was over, he couldn't help but sigh.
"A hero has great martial arts skills and must serve his country with all his loyalty. How can he join in with thieves and bandits and taint his own life?"
Luan Yunfei's expression did not change much when he heard Hu Beizong's words.
"I am not a hero, and I have no intention of becoming one. I was born in Nanhai, and I am not under the control of your Emperor Zhou. I only work for whomever offers me a higher price."
"I don't care what Boss Wang's character is like, but he is really honest when doing business with him."
Saying this, Luan Yunfei glanced at the guards beside Hu Beizong. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he heard Hu Beizong shout: "Don't kill him."
"Give me a reason not to kill." Luan Yunfei looked at Hu Beizong.
"Anyway, I'm at a loss now. I'm a high official in the imperial court, and I have to be taken care of by others for my food and daily life. He is my old man. With him taking care of me, I may be able to live longer." Hu Beizong said slowly while looking at Luan Yunfei.
Luan Yunfei couldn't help but glance at Hu Beizong, and then smiled: "Okay, then I will spare him to take care of you."
Saying this, Luan Yunfei drew his long sword in his hand and tapped the guard three times. He saw the armor worn by the guard falling instantly, and every armor leaf was cut open, like Leaves fell to the ground.
The personal guard had never seen such miraculous swordsmanship. He wanted to kneel down and thank him for his life, but his knees were shaking and he couldn't kneel down.
Luan Yunfei saw his actions and couldn't help but smile: "It's useless to thank me. You should thank you, Governor Hu."
"But Governor Hu, please come with me now."
"Boss Wang is waiting for you."
…
…
Wang Zhi was already waiting in the room.
When Hu Beizong walked in, he was not tied up, and he immediately saw the white-clothed Confucian scholar sitting high on the chair.
And here is his Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.
"The common people have seen Hu Beizong, Governor Hu." Wang Zhi saw Hu Beizong walking in, stood up, saluted, and then asked Hu Beizong to take his seat.
Hu Beizong snorted coldly, walked past Wang Zhi carelessly, and then sat on the chair where Wang Zhi was sitting before. He looked back at Wang Zhi: "Wang Zhi, let me say it first, if you want to kill me, it's just a matter of one knife, but If you want me to do things for you, you'd better give up in advance."
"How dare a commoner do?" Wang Zhi looked at Hu Beizong and said with a chuckle.
Even though he was behind bars, Hu Beizong still maintained a considerable dignity and bearing, as if the person invited here today was not him but Wang Zhi.
In fact, the room where Wang Zhi was waiting for Hu Beizong was Hu Beizong's own study.
The sword that Xue Ling crushed to pieces was replaced by a new one on the sword stand.
But Wang Zhi would never have imagined that just a few days later, everything would become so different.
"It's just that Mr. Hu is not Mr. Hu alone. There are so many people behind you who rely on you for survival. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about them."
Hu Beizong looked at Wang Zhi: "Just because I want to think about them, the best outcome is that I die here today."
Yes, if Hu Beizong could keep his integrity and not surrender, then even after his death, his family, subordinates, and students would be treated well.
And if Hu Beizong surrenders Wang Zhi today, then as traitors, almost everyone will be implicated by Hu Beizong.
A lifetime of fame was ruined in one day. This is also the best portrayal of Hu Beizong today.
Wang Zhi smiled: "The reason why you are in this situation today is not because of what you, Hu Beizong, did wrong, but because of what I, Wang Zhi, did right."
"Let me ask you, if you were given another chance, are you sure you wouldn't sit in the seat you are sitting in today?"
Hu Beizong fell silent after hearing this.
because there's none.
After all, before today, no one had ever thought that Wang Zhi could really take down Yingtianfu City, and break through the city wall overnight. Such lightning-fast gestures were simply unthinkable.
"Those Japanese pirates before were the chess pieces you used to throw stones to ask for directions?" Hu Beizong asked.
"It's just an appetizer. Let's see how much trouble they can cause you." Wang Zhi said frankly: "By the way, I want to attract your attention. To put it simply, I will find something for you to do, so as not to disrupt my work." abacus."
"Also, do you really not believe that I will become the next emperor?" Wang Zhi looked at Hu Beizong: "If I ascend the throne as emperor one day, then my country's name will be Song."
Hu Beizong did not take up the topic from Wang Zhi.
He closed his eyes and meditated.
He wanted to come and see Wang Zhi, just to see what Wang Zhi would say.
If this was just such a useless talk of surrender, he really didn't care about it.
After all, the worst thing is to be killed at the neck, and Hu Beizong really wasn't afraid of this death.
If you are forced to defile yourself in your later years, it will be a stain that you will never be able to wash away for the rest of your life.
Wang Zhi looked at Hu Beizong's expression and smiled.
"Since Governor Hu doesn't want to talk, he must have not thought about it well."
"The news of the fall of Yingtian Mansion can reach the capital in as soon as three days. However, when the capital will be able to respond, I think it will be at least three months later."
"If I can defeat the first batch of reinforcements sent by the imperial court and behead ten thousand people, I wonder if Governor Hu can change his mind at that time."
Hu Beizong continued to close his eyes and rest.
Because there was no room for reasoning with Wang Zhi at this time.
Wang Zhi nodded: "You can go, you can continue to live where you lived before."
"Is there a cell?" Hu Beizong asked.
Wang Zhi smiled: "Yes."
"But I won't house you."
With that said, Wang Zhi turned around and left Hu Beizong's study.
Hu Beizong looked at Wang Zhi's back and showed a somewhat bitter smile.
You can't survive, you can't die. This is probably the current situation.
Even with Hu Beizong's ability, he has to admit that what Wang Zhi said is true. Even if the imperial court is the fastest, it will probably take three to five years to quell the chaos in the southeast. If it is slow, I am afraid that the southeast separatist regime will also be quelled. Not impossible.
"Alas." Hu Beizong sighed and leaned back on the chair.
…
…
"This is what happened." Fang Bie looked at He Ping and told the woman in green in front of him the whole story.
After He Ping listened calmly, she spoke the first sentence: "Where is that Zhou Meixue now?"
"I've put her to sleep." Ning Xia said calmly.
He Ping nodded: "What do you think?"
She asked about Fang Bie.
"It's not a place to stay for a long time." Fang Bie said. "The water here is deeper than I imagined." Nuancai Literature Network
"Although before setting off, I thought that Wang Zhi would make a big move, I did not expect that Wang Zhi would actually directly capture Yingtianfu City and confront the imperial court head-on."
Even in terms of strength, Wang Zhi does have the capital to do this.
He Ping nodded noncommittally. In fact, He Ping didn't care too much about Wang Zhi himself.
She is a true Jianghu person, and all she cares about is the Jianghu itself.
"Is it true that I am the only one who dominates the Eight Desolations and Liuhe?" He Ping continued to ask.
"I don't know, but whether it's Luan Yunfei or Wang Zhi, their martial arts cannot be underestimated." Fang Bie said.
"What's going on with the Hive? Will the previous agreement continue to be implemented?" He Ping continued to ask.
In fact, when Fang Bie first came to Jiangnan, Feng Chao gave Fang Bie the task of assassinating Guangji Qiu Dayu. Later, Hu Beizong was also assassinated by the Golden Bee assassin. Fortunately, he survived with the help of Shang Jiuge. .
But Wang Zhi took this opportunity to complete his plan, and finally exploded through this exclusive meeting.
From the current point of view, Wang Zhi can be said to have won a big victory, but after the big victory, whether his cooperative relationship with Hive will change, Hive's attitude itself is also very important.
After all, it was originally just a cooperation in which each side got what they needed, but now it has become a great victory for Wang Zhi to successfully reverse the situation.
"I don't know." Fang Bie shook his head and said, "The attitude of Beehive depends on Her Highness Queen Bee and Qin."
"From the current point of view, Wang Zhi is definitely worthy of a large investment, but I feel..."
Before Fang Bing finished speaking, he heard a quiet knock on the door.
The young man raised his eyebrows and heard the voice outside the door continue to ring: "I don't want you to feel it."
As he said this, someone pushed open the door and walked in. It was Yin Ye dressed in black.
She looked around and looked at He Ping: "I have met Mr. He Ping."
He Ping nodded: "What are you going to do here at this time?"
"I was here originally." Yin Ye said with a smile: "It's just that you sailed the boat out of Yingtianfu City overnight, which made it a little difficult for me to find you."
"Do you know about Wang Zhi?" Fang Bie looked at Yin Ye and asked.
Yin Ye turned back to look at Fang Bie and smiled: "Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?"
"Of course I believe it." Fang Bie said calmly: "I will believe whatever you say."
"But what are you going to do here this time?"
"Let's talk about a deal." Yin Ye looked at Fang Bie and said.
"What kind of deal?" Fang Bie asked.
Yin Ye looked at Fang Faye and said three words concisely and concisely: "Kill Wang Zhi."
"No killing." Fang Bie shook his head.
"What if it's the Hive's mission?" Yin Ye said.
"Beehive will not give such a mission. Besides, there are so many experts around Wang Zhi now. Even he is a real master. Why should I put myself in danger?" Fang Bie said decisively.
"What do you think?" Yin Ye turned back to look at He Ping.
He Ping said calmly: "I'll listen to other people."
Yin Ye smiled: "What if Her Royal Highness the Queen Bee personally gave the order?"
Fang Bie was a little surprised: "Why would Her Majesty Queen Bee give such an order?"
"If it's Qin, I wouldn't be surprised. Wang Zhi's existence is harmless to Hive for the time being. If we kill him at this time, we will not only suffer heavy losses, tear up the previous agreement, but also make Hive vulnerable from both sides. distressing situation."
Yin Ye looked at Fang Bie: "Do you want to make a bet with me?"
"I can guarantee that Queen Bee's black jade carrier pigeon will be here before noon tomorrow at the latest and put the task of killing Wang Zhi in front of you."
Don't frown.
Even He Ping frowned slightly.
Yin Ye dares to guarantee this, which means a lot of things.
"You seem to know Her Majesty the Queen Bee very well?" He Ping looked at Yin Ye and said with a vague murderous intent in her tone.
Yin Ye smiled and was not afraid at all: "I know that inside the hive, Her Royal Highness the Queen Bee means some kind of taboo, and I never intend to break this taboo."
"However, I must have my own reasons for making this prediction."
"I'm just saying, if the homing pigeon that Queen Bee killed Wang Zhi comes to this ship tomorrow, will you kill it?" Yin Ye looked at Fang Bi.
Fang Bie shook his head: "I won't do anything I'm not sure about."
"Or is it something you don't want to do?" Yin Ye smiled: "If I remember correctly, you still have the task of killing Guang Jiqi and Qiu Dayu. Ignore Qiu Dayu for now. It’s quite far away, but Guang Jiqi is on this ship now.”
"He is a backup food." Fang Bie said calmly, with a sense of confidence.
Yin Ye smiled: "Okay, spare food is fine."
"Anyway, I bring my opinion, that is, it would be better for Wang Zhi to die."
"If Queen Bee's black jade carrier pigeon comes to this ship tomorrow and you clearly have the intention of killing Wang Zhi, then you can come to me and I will provide you with the necessary assistance."
"If you want to leave here." Yin Ye said this and looked at Fang Bi: "I know this is more in line with your usual style."
"But everything is possible."
"No need to worry." Fang Bie looked at Yin Ye: "I'll wait here for Shang Jiuge to come back and board the ship. We'll go to Hangzhou tonight."
Yin Ye nodded and walked to the door: "If this is the case, then I will go back to sleep?"
"Go." Fang Bi waved his hand like he was shooing away flies.
So Yin Ye left without taking a single cloud with him.
"What do you think now?" He Ping looked at Fang Bie and said.
"I think it's better for us to stay in Los Angeles." Fang Bie said honestly.
"You also said that when a chick comes out of its shell, it can only grow up and never get back into the shell." He Ping said lightly: "Yin Ye came over and said what Qin Xiang said to us. .”
"Where is Qin now?"
"Is he in Yingtian Mansion?"
"This is probably only known when Qin shows up in person." Fang Bie sighed: "In this game now, Wang Zhi has at least revealed more than half of his trump cards, but because of this, he is also the closest to a big victory, and will put all the cards on the gambling table. Almost all the chips are in his own pocket.”
"But the one who laughs the happiest may not laugh last."
"Although I admit that Wang Zhi's waist is indeed very hard, but the hardest waist cannot withstand a knife."
"So we have to wait until tomorrow?" He Ping asked.
Fang Bie did not answer He Ping's words, but looked at He Ping: "Sister Ping."
"If you fight Qin again, who will win?"
He Ping was silent for a moment, and then said: "I don't know."
