The corner of Xuanwu's mouth curled up: "As you are familiar with it, you still have to follow the basic routine. This is the helm of the mafia. We are also the guards here. No matter what we do outside, we have to speak and act for our guarding position. , Master Suzaku, didn’t you explain the rules of our organization to him?”
Bai Hu interjected coldly: "Rules are dead, people are alive. Isn't it because the Mafia is like this because it only follows the rules in appearance and has lost its connotation?"
A trace of anger flashed in Xuanwu's eyes: "What do you understand as a newcomer? Is it possible that we have been in the organization for so long and we don't understand it as well as you?"
Bai Hu laughed loudly: "Master Xuanwu, when our mafia was formed, it was to protect the scholars and fight against the tyrants. And the reason for doing this is to put it bluntly, to protect the family and the people, to care about the common people, and to prevent a single-minded thieves from being able to Acting recklessly, after all, it is more reliable to rely on the conscience of a group of people than to rely on the conscience of one person. Scholars in the world are well-educated and have such a mind to help the world and save the people, and the king has absolute power in his hands. If he cannot bear the responsibility of protecting his family It is the responsibility of the people to protect the people, and virtuous people will be killed if they come to remonstrate with them. In this case, an organization like Black Hand Qiankun is needed to fight against this unlimited monarchy in the shadows. This is also the purpose of the predecessors in establishing this organization, right?"
Xuanwu nodded: "Yes, that's right. Aren't we doing this now?"
Bai Hu sneered: "Really, maybe you are doing this, but is this what the predecessor Qinglong, the predecessor Suzaku, and the predecessor Bai Hu did? For the benefit of their own family and for their own selfishness, they fought for power and profit, causing trouble in the world. Now that we have made the country like this, we have also lost our lives one by one. Now we are called Black Hand Qiankun. In fact, we have no soldiers and no food. We are almost left with four bare soldiers. We still want to continue to play here. Do you want to control the world with some power and tactics? Master Xuanwu, if you want me to join the mafia but don't want to change and don't adapt to the current situation, then there is no need for me to stay."
With that said, he stood up and turned to leave.
Suzaku said quickly: "Wait a minute, everything is easy to discuss."
Xuanwu curled up his lips: "Well, this is the situation now. We need unity, and we also need new strength and ideas. Mr. Baihu, these are extraordinary times. Some cumbersome etiquette and procedures, please simplify everything. I I know you are very busy, so let’s keep the story short. Everyone has heard the words of those fake gangsters above. Is there anything you want to say?”
Qinglong said coldly: "It's a joke for people like Sima Shangzhi and Yu Yue to still dream of controlling the army and controlling power. If the children of these aristocratic families can fight, why would our seniors bother to control the Beifu Army? Ah. It is important for people to know themselves. I think among these fake gangsters, only Xu Xianzhi is decent, including Liu Yi, who are all confused about their own status."
Suzaku smiled and said, "Then tell me, if Liu Yi has taken away military power and been made a scapegoat, where will he go?"
Xuanwu smiled and said: "I know Liu Yi's temper very well. He will be very angry now, but after the anger passes, he will still swallow his anger and find the best way to stop losses. Most likely, he will go to Liu Yi Yu, even if he is Liu Yu’s subordinate, he must find an opportunity to make meritorious deeds again.”
Bai Hu laughed: "It seems that Master Xuanwu still doesn't know Liu Yi well enough. He can go anywhere in the world. Even if he rebels against the country and goes to the barbarians in anger, it is not impossible, but it is absolutely impossible to go to Liu Yu's army now." Impossible."
Xuanwu softly said "Oh": "Why? He has never worked under Liu Yu before. Liu Yu will not deliberately suppress him just because he wants to seize power. I heard that last time Liu Yu even worked under Suan Shan I ended up with him and made it clear that he wanted to harm Liu Yu when we were in Wuzhuang. Now that the two of them have reconciled and put aside their grudges, why can't they go to Liu Yu?"
Bai Hu shook his head: "Liu Yi's arrogance is deep in his bones. You can only see that he wants to climb up the ladder, make friends with famous families, and do shameless things, but you can't see the purpose of doing these things. , it is because he is too eager to prove himself and too stubborn to believe that he is really talented and unmatched, so he is dissatisfied with the current situation, including Liu Yu. He will not be convinced even now, and he will not be convinced in the future. Will not."
Suzaku laughed: "Anyone with eyes can see the difference between him and Liu Yu. He is not a fool. It can even be said that he is smarter and better than most people in the world. How can he not see this clearly?" What's the point?"
Qinglong said thoughtfully: "I think what Master Baihu said makes sense. Liu Yi may admit that Liu Yu is better than him in fighting, but he will never think that Liu Yu is worse than him in talent, learning, literature and governance, and he is also He thought that he was not as good as Liu Yu on the battlefield just because he had no chance. The Xie family had been helping Liu Yu from behind. It was the same this time. Although he thought he could not achieve Liu Yu's results in Suanshan, it was only because Murong Lan gave him Liu Yu had sufficient equipment. In fact, he also rushed forward with those women and children from Jingkou. He did not lack the courage, so he felt that Liu Jingxuan was harmed this time, and he might even secretly think that Liu Yu gave him soldiers and horses to enter Jiankang. , maybe he deliberately caused Liu Laozhi to be jealous of him, which led to Liu Laozhi venting his anger on him this time."
Xuanwu shook his head helplessly: "He can imagine this, but there is no hope. Qinglong, how do you know Liu Yi so well? Is it possible..."
Qinglong sighed: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. You all probably know the reason. To a certain extent, I may be the person who best understands Liu Yi's thoughts in the world. So at this time, he will never go again No matter how great the achievements of Liu Yu's subordinates are, they cannot be achieved by Liu Yu. Otherwise, they will live under Liu Yu for the rest of their lives and will not be able to stand up. This is more uncomfortable than killing Liu Yi. So, if I were Liu Yi, Now I will go back to the Beifu Army and work under Liu Jingxuan!"
Suzaku opened his eyes wide and shook his head in disbelief: "How is this possible? Liu Yi almost killed Liu Jingxuan back then. The two of them can be said to be incompatible. If it weren't for Liu Yu's mediation, I'm afraid they would have been at odds with each other long ago. Liu Yi and Liu Jingxuan If you don’t even want to go to Yu, why would you go to Liu Jingxuan?”
Qinglong smiled slightly: "Two reasons determine that Liu Yi will definitely take this path. First, working under Liu Jingxuan means to submit to Liu Laozhi through Liu Jingxuan. Liu Jingxuan is a simple-minded and loyal person, so good He has face but also has a soft mouth and a soft heart. When Liu Yi comes to surrender, he most likely will not refuse and will even take the initiative to intercede with Liu Laozhi on his behalf."
