Two friends who had talked about everything since childhood were silent in the dim dusk.
After a while, Jiang Xingze recovered. He stopped talking about his body. He calmed down and said calmly, "Human feelings are like water. Since ancient times, the Tian family has been the most ruthless. Tian's heart is disgusted. The twenty-eight generations of the family's merits in following the dragon. Now it seems that there are too many things to do!”
Even the Ten Palaces of Hell could not bring back Jiang Xingze's decision, so Jiang Feng did not mention the invitation to Ge Hong to go north, and said disdainfully, "After Liu Bang established the country, he set out to eradicate the heroes. The nature of the old Liu family is to be ungrateful. .Hmph! Back then, when the Qin Dynasty invaded the country and the kings established themselves on their own, if the family had not stepped up to help, the power of the old Liu family would have been gone long ago!"
Jiang Xingze ignored Jiang Feng's complaints and continued, "The emperor is still a little anxious. About six or seven years ago, before the temple was completely stable, he sent a large number of people who wanted to accomplish extraordinary things and make extraordinary contributions. Six years ago, Ying Zhi and other eighteen county guards came out of Chang'an. Five years ago, seven armed generals took office alone. Even a fool could see that the net had been cast to the prefectures and counties, and some aristocratic families Already aware of the danger, they took measures one after another. Your Jiang family gathered two dogs, two wolves, an eagle, and a snake, which shocked the Central Plains; the Soochow survivors Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang Bao group kept warm and formed the Liuzhou Alliance; Naozhou, The four powerful clans of Gong, Ke, Mo and Qing formed the Aizhou Party... and so on, which added many obstacles for the emperor to cut off the family."
Jiang Feng said proudly, "I don't care about others. If you want to destroy my Jiang family, you will have to pay the price with blood."
Jiang Xingze said, "The two dogs of the Jiang family are the Liu family of Lingyuan and my Jiang family of Tianyuan. Now that the Liu family has been destroyed, it means that the emperor has taken action against you, but how should you fight back? Do you want to raise an army with your family?" "
Jiang Feng was full of pride, "So what? I, the sons of the Jiang family, are all brave and good at fighting, why are we afraid of him? Even if I become the king on my own, I can still sit firmly in the Central Plains!"
"From your grandfather, to your father, to you, you Jiang family members all have a very bad habit of being tough-mouthed!"
Facing Jiang Feng's unreasonable argument, Jiang Xingze was obviously a little angry. He said angrily, "The strength of the Jiang family and the strength of the Tian family are not on the same level at all. As long as the emperor raises his arms, all the heroes in the world will take action. You The Jiang family seems to be a big tree with deep roots in Quzhou, can it compete with the world?"
Jiang Feng was still about to argue, but was interrupted by Jiang Xingze with a wave of his hand. Jiang Xingze spoke like a dumpling, and said hastily, "Besides, your Jiang family is not without stubborn diseases in Quzhou. The four counties in the south of Quzhou have been under your control for many years." The eight aristocratic families in Quzhou who are afraid of the previous fight are sharpening their knives. Zhao Yao from Xuanhuai County and Zhao Yuhai from Fanggu County are all eyeing you. Do you dare to say that your Jiang family in Quzhou is invincible? In the world of Quzhou, Confucianism The Xianda Academy, the Buddhist Jiafu Temple, the Huhu Gang, and the Xuanfu Sect have not bowed to your Jiang family. How can you dare to say that your Jiang family has deep roots in Quzhou? At this time, you, Jiang Feng wants to use force? Has your brain been eaten by a dog?"
Jiang Feng remained silent.
Jiang Xingze glanced at Jiang Feng and saw a look of decadence on Jiang Feng's face. He slowed down his words and said softly, "Actually, it's not your fault. According to our established plan, we originally planned to spend ten years to expand our military preparations and conquer the war." From the counties in the south of the state. However, no one expected that His Majesty would move so quickly. In just five or six years, some families that were not considered top-notch families were wiped out. I expected that the emperor would come here. It takes at least ten years to make a chess move, but you see, a talented person like Liu Quansheng, after four or five years of planning, can quickly remove one of your arms and mine, and we can't even come to our aid."
Speaking of this, Jiang Xingze sighed with emotion, "It seems that I still underestimated people's hearts and overestimated myself!"
Jiang Feng regained his stern expression and said, "The world is full of grievances and grievances. Let's discuss them carefully. In this situation, no one can fully account for the bad debts of the Tian Family and the World Family!"
Jiang Xingze said quietly, "Yes! At this point, it no longer makes sense who is right and who is wrong."
Jiang Xingze looked at Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng didn't even turn his head and said directly, "Continue the topic you just said!"
Jiang Xingze paused for a moment and continued to analyze the general trend of the world, "Looking at the enemy and ourselves, we are sitting on nothing, and we are sitting on nothing. No matter how well-off the family is, there will be a day when it will be eaten up. It is said that Lu Zheng made a decision for the emperor six years ago. After making the soup slowly, peeling off the cocoon, and not seeking quick results, he once predicted that it would be successful in thirty years. Now it seems that this statement is true. This emperor really intends to spend the rest of his life cannibalizing the family, Divide the family and then destroy it!"
Jiang Xingze paused and continued, "Liu Quansheng's son Liu Yi made the Five-County Pingtian Order. In my opinion, it's just a gimmick. It doesn't matter who does the Five-County Pingtian Order, even if it's a fool. With the help of talented people like Liu Quansheng and Yingzhi, this Five-County Pingtian Order will be successful immediately. However, a feather indicates the direction of the wind and a blade of grass indicates the flow of water. The most important thing is the "Five Grain Civil Order" , cut my roots, drain my sources, and cut off my roots. Once implemented, it will confuse people's hearts and rapidly accelerate the decline of the world. Those who resist will be despised by everyone and lose the hearts of the people. Those who do not resist will lose their fields and their foundation. This Those who are scheming have no plan, this is the power of Liu Yan who is sitting on the general trend and righteousness."
"So, in today's world, as long as the Tian Family wants to cut off the family, it will definitely succeed." Jiang Xingze chuckled, as if nothing could make him sad and sad, "After calculating the general situation of the world, come on, let me Let’s plan everything around us with you!”
Jiang Feng nodded. At this time, he was more like a dedicated listener. He said nothing and just listened quietly.
"Our Quzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Six of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period are home to this place. At that time, the emperor almost transferred all the origins of the Chinese line to Quzhou. Before he opened up the northern frontier, opened up the western region, and occupied Before Kunlun and Jiangnan were enlightened, the one who occupied Quzhou was the co-lord of the world and the emperor who ruled over the world." Jiang Xingze rubbed his head, "Why did the emperor divide it so much back then? I think there was a lot of it involved in sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. I mean, put a large number of top families in the same state or county, let them fight each other, and finally enjoy the gains. Brother, think about it, the families that have been destroyed at the hands of our two brothers in the past ten years will have You already have a pair of hands!"
Jiang Feng cherished words like gold, "Not counting the eight major families that were still hanging on, seven families were destroyed!"
Jiang Xingze looked at Jiang Feng again and saw that Jiang Feng's eyes were blurry and he knew that he was tired, so he said warmly, "Okay, okay, I won't talk to you about big things today. I'll talk to you about something important first." "
After hearing this, Jiang Feng reluctantly cheered up, straightened his back, and motioned for Jiang Xingze to continue speaking.
Jiang Xingze opened his fingers and said, "Look, Huaxing County now has Ying Zhi, Liu Quansheng, Xia Qing and Deng Yan. If you want to take it back, there is basically no hope. Huaxing County is backed by Bozhou, and I If the Jiang family loses control of Huaxing County, it is equivalent to losing the channel to escape from the Qin Dynasty to the north, which is very detrimental to us!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Xingze became serious, "Today, you and I may have to make a decision!"
Seeing Jiang Xingze's serious look, Jiang Feng felt relaxed. He asked softly, "Do you know why I called you here? Brother."
The pale-faced Jiang Xingze grinned and said, "If things were not urgent, you wouldn't suddenly look for me. How will the Jiang family go in the future? What are the ways to deal with it? Is this why you looked for me?"
Jiang Feng nodded, sincerely, "I will go as you say. In short, you and I are brothers, we will not be separated!"
Jiang Xingze's big eyes were darting around, and there were obviously tears in his eyes. Finally, he looked directly at Jiang Feng and said with a smile, "Hey, I'm flattered that the majestic Jiangzhou Mu can say such touching words! "
Jiang Xingze teased Jiang Feng. Looking at the world, Jiang Xingze is probably the only one who dares to speak to Jiang Feng like this.
Jiang Feng said angrily, "Hurry up and get down to business, I'm so sleepy!"
"Those who make suggestions should put themselves in the midst of interests and dangers, and then they can deal with right and wrong; those who take action should put themselves outside of interests and dangers, and then they can observe the changes in interests and dangers." Jiang Xingze said seriously, "In recent years, I have taken advantage of the opportunity to recover from my injuries. Observing the world from the perspective of a bystander, while the country is getting stronger and stronger, the reputation of the family is declining. There are not many elders of the family who participated in the unprecedented battle. There are many children of this generation who enjoy pleasure and debauchery, and you I have said so much, just to tell you that if there are no earth-shattering changes, in a hundred years from our generation, this part of the history of this family will only be a hundred years from now!"
Jiang Feng stood up from the wall, his masculine, arrogant and tall body like a pine tree. "I understand the principle of putting the overall situation first, then the layout, the country first, then the individual. But the old man in the family is too obsessed, and I am also single-minded." To establish the imperial hegemony, I don’t want to see the Jiang family decline.”
Jiang Xingze tilted his head and leaned on the wall, his voice was calm and soft, "I heard that back then, Prime Minister Lu planned three strategies for the emperor. For the sake of the ginseng in Yifu Treasury, today, I, Jiang Xingze, will plan for you the three strategies of heaven, earth and man. You can decide for yourself, whether it's a phoenix rising from a dragon or a crouching tiger submissive to a snake, it has nothing to do with me!"
Jiang Feng replied crisply, "Okay!"
Jiang Xingze stood up and stood proudly, with a bit of evil spirit in his eyes, but the context was still calm, "The best strategy is to counterattack. While Jiang's strength is still there, unite with the Liuzhou Alliance in the south and the barbarians of Qin in the north. Wrap up the grassy rivers and lakes, and bring a hundred thousand warriors with you." , sent troops to the north, attacked from both inside and outside, killed Yingzhi, Liu Quansheng, and Deng Yan, and captured the people of Huaxing and Dezhao. Together with Daqin in the north, they conquered Bozhou in the northeast, destroyed the Goguryeo Kingdom in the east, and then bounded the Lingyuan Mountains in the south. With the Great Wall of Han as the frontier in the north, the sea in the east, and Muzhou in the west, he could be the king of the Northeast between the Han and Qin Dynasties, and he could be at ease; he could make troubles, instigate civil strife, sow relations, bribe important ministers, confuse the people, aggravate internal strife, and unite more The aristocratic clans, in small cases, go on strike, in large cases, they cause chaos, forcing the imperial court to compromise and allow more elders of the aristocratic clans to return to the center of the court. Finally, they become the king of Quzhou under the Han Dynasty; they make poor decisions, delay, stick to the rich land, hoard their strength, and he cuts them off. As a family, I will develop my strength, preserve the Jiang family’s fire, and wait for the weather to change, which may bring about a turn for the better.”
"Huh? What is the best time to make a bad move?"
Jiang Feng vaguely guessed the answer, but he still opened his mouth to ask.
Jiang Xingze's evil spirit became even worse, with a fierce look in his eyes, "The country has changed hands, the new emperor has ascended the throne, and I have served you well!"
"Oh! I thought your last resort was to surrender!" Jiang Feng took off the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip, and threw it towards Jiang Xingze, who was also sleepy.
"I know what you mean. You will never say the word 'abort'." Jiang Xingze laughed again, took a sip of wine, pouted exaggeratedly, and said, "If it comes from my mouth If you say it here, wouldn't it be too shameful? It's like a beautiful woman throwing herself into the arms of a newspaper, but your little brother is indifferent. It's very embarrassing."
Jiang Feng was also amused, "I think you are not little Zhuge, but little roundworm. Haha!"
Jiang Xingze smiled and asked, "So, City Lord Jiang, which one do you want to choose?"
Jiang Feng said helplessly, "The best strategy is too risky, the next strategy is too slow, and for a warrior like me, choosing the middle strategy is too uncomfortable. Alas!"
Jiang Xingze gave Jiang Feng, whose muscles were as bulging as mountains, a gentle and gentle blow, and said uninhibitedly, "Then you have to choose one! Among the aristocrats, gangs, generals, and civil servants who follow your Jiang family, which one is not dragging the family with you? Are we allowed to do it? Are you going to sit here and wait to die?"
"Even if I choose, it doesn't count if I say it!" Jiang Feng said with a smile, and pointed carefully in the direction of Taihao Palace, "Where is the master of our Jiang family who really means what he says?"
"Mr. Jiang?"
"Um!"
Jiang Xingze glared at Jiang Feng, "Get out! No one in the world knows that after Mr. Jiang retired to the second line, you took over the Jiang family's military affairs. If Mr. Jiang really took power behind the scenes, the interception and killing of the emperor a few days ago would Can it still happen?”
Jiang Feng, who was exposed to the lie, laughed naively, "My brother, I can't hide anything. Come on, the night is approaching and the cold is rising. You and I, brothers, let's drink and chat!"
Take a break to talk and enjoy good wine with good friends. Just as Jiang Feng and Jiang Xingze were drinking and chatting, a sound of trembling gold vessels came faintly from the north.
The sound of the golden weapon breaking through the wind made a buzzing sound, and the speed should be extremely fast, making people terrified to hear it.
I don’t know whether it’s because drinking makes him bold or because he is naturally arrogant. Jiang Feng, who was standing on the battlement, flicked his robe. As soon as he thought about it, the strong energy surged, and the surrounding air was instantly compressed into a looming wall of air. Do your best. After taking a defensive posture, Jiang Feng's face was as heavy as water and he shouted proudly, "The Zhao family is defeated every year. It's like this every year. It's disappointing every year. How annoying!"
"Haha, King Jiang is indestructible. It seems that the gentian silver spear of the Zhao family in Fanggu County is still a little inferior!"
Although he said it, Jiang Xingze's feather fan had returned to Jiang Xingze's hands, ready to support Jiang Feng at any time.
Naturally, this little thought could not escape Jiang Feng's eyes. He snorted, lightly kicked Jiang Xingze who was lying beside him, and said with concern, "Brother, you are still seriously injured, so don't attack at will. Watch my moves." enemy!"
Jiang Xingze grinned and remained calm, but secretly gathered his thoughts.
The trembling sound is getting closer, but I can't see its shape, but I can see its momentum. The air around the white light in the north is rotating like a galaxy, and the rotation range is getting wider and wider. It is really like a gluttonous mouth that swallows the sky and the earth, seeming to swallow up the whole world. The whole Taihao City is like that.
The sound got closer and closer, and the trembling gold weapon gradually appeared. It was a seven-foot-seven-inch silver spear engraved with dragon patterns. It was the gentian silver spear passed down from Zhao Zilong, the five tiger generals of the Shu Han Dynasty. The silver spear was roaring towards him in the shape of an owl like a thousand feet of collapsing pines and a thunderstorm piercing the sky, accompanied by the roar of a shallow water dragon.
The Gentian Bright Silver Spear ranks thirty-eighth on the list of weapons in the world. It is a divine weapon in the world. When used by masters, it has unstoppable power.
No matter how close the silver gun came, the green pine forest three miles away was forcibly opened up by the gunfire, and a three-foot-wide road was opened. The water in the moat also rippled. In an instant, flags were dancing, dust was flying, and cold water was rippling, which was very powerful. It can be said that the color of grass changes when brushed by it, and the leaves of trees fall off when touched. The power of this spear is such a show of divine creation!
Here, Jiang Feng's Gang Qi dispersed and gathered, forming an air shield as big as a millstone. It headed towards the point where the tip of the spear pointed. Jiang Xingze, who was standing not far from him, paused slightly and exclaimed. , "Jiang Feng, are you crazy? Do you want to resist this shot?"
Jiang Feng did not answer Jiang Xingze, but held his breath and concentrated, preparing to fight.
It was said that it was too late, but it was too fast. In just a few breaths, the gun and shield were engaged in a confrontation. In an instant, the air shield was pierced with wrinkles, but the gentian bright silver gun was unable to move. If there was no accident, one side would have exhausted all its energy. At this moment, the outcome will be determined.
The current owner of the Gentian Bright Silver Gun is a descendant of Zhao Zilong, the current governor of Fanggu County and the head of the Zhending Zhao family, Zhao Yuhai. This gun is an heirloom of the Zhao family.
Zhao Yuhai would come to Taihao City alone every year and shoot Jiang Feng. In the past, when Jiang Feng faced this shot, he would always retreat and dodge, but for some reason, when he saw the sick Jiang Xingze today, Jiang Feng There was always a senseless anger in Feng's heart.
At this moment, he suddenly didn't want to stay on the defensive like in previous years, so he straightened his body, his eagle eyes suddenly became angry, and shouted, "Fan, trouble, trouble! I've been bothering me for ten years, mother Zhao Yuhai, today, I will pay you back One shot!"
After saying that, Jiang Feng released his energy and strength, ducked sideways, and let the silver spear pass by him.
Just as the gun tip passed his ear, Jiang Feng immediately refocused his right hand, followed his left ear, and grabbed the silver gun that was still full of energy. The moment his hand made contact with the gun, the high-speed rotating silver gun immediately hit Jiang Feng with his breath. Chengzhao's right hand burned red, Jiang Feng roared angrily, and with a big bow on his back, like an overlord carrying a cauldron, he turned and turned the spear tip that was originally from north to south to the north where it came from. In one breath, thoughts arose, and the Gangqi instantly lingered around the tip of the spear. With a word of "Let's go," the bright silver gentian spear thundered away along the way it came, and broke through another pine forest.
With this shot, the vegetation and trees were filled with murderous intent, and the stars lost their luster. The three armies guarding the city were excited, and shouts of long live were heard continuously.
After a while, a loud voice came from the north, "Jiang Feng, I will come again in one year!"
Jiang Fenghao shouted, "If I give you another thirty years, can you defeat me, Jiang Feng?"
...
The moon sets at dusk, and the clear corners blow cold.
Jiang Feng and Jiang Xingze made sure that the uninvited guest had left, and returned to the battlements, feeling lonely and speechless.
Jiang Xingze sighed, "Taihao City is located at the intersection of Fanggu, Dezhao, and Huaxing Counties. The Liu family has been destroyed, and the Zhao family has turned against itself. Taihao City is facing pressure from the south, north, and east. Brother, it's not easy for you!" "
Jiang Xingze sighed again, while taking Jiang Feng's bloody hands, and gently covering them with the feather fan, a light blue refreshing air spread to his hands. Jiang Feng's pain was greatly reduced, and his face was filled with satisfaction.
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "People always have troubles in this world. People are suffering from farming, merchants are suffering from management, generals are suffering from military achievements, and civil servants are suffering from the title of prince. Who can say that it is easy?"
Afterwards, Jiang Feng picked up the wine gourd on the ground and shook it. Seeing that there was still wine left in the gourd, he drank it all in one gulp, exclaiming that he was happy, and then said to Jiang Xingze, "Did you see that? In this world, strength is the only thing that matters." It is the foundation for safeguarding justice. The army is the real backing of the family. Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the carved bow. My Jiang family has been in Quzhou for forty years, and I must not become a sinner of the Jiang family. "
Jiang Xingze looked suspicious, "You want to choose the best option?"
Before Jiang Feng could answer, a wooden slip was shot from Taihao Palace and inserted right into the battlement between Jiang and Jiang. The two took a closer look and saw that there were words on the wooden slip on the back, and both of them were "Jiang Family Eternal Life". Don't be a traitor'!
The two looked at each other and smiled. Jiang Feng pulled out the wooden slip and threw it towards Taihao Palace with hatred, complaining, "I know, Dad!"
It seems that Jiang Cang, the old master of the Jiang family, does not agree with Jiang Feng's rebellious behavior.
Jiang Feng smiled helplessly and made a silent gesture to Jiang Xingze.
Jiang Xingze understood the idea, pulled off a piece of his sleeve, thought deeply, and used his energy to write on the brocade, "What should you do? I will cooperate."
Jiang Feng wiped off the brocade qi and wrote again, "Father still has some power in the Jiang family. I will wait for some planning before I make the best move."
Jiang Xingze hesitated and wrote, "Time waits for us not! Don't miss the opportunity! Change will happen if you delay!"
Jiang Feng nodded, hugged Jiang Xingze with his left hand, and said with a smile on his face, "You and I agreed when we were children that we would expand the territory together and achieve imperial achievements. Although I have great ambitions, for the time being, I still have no choice between being good or bad. This is the right strategy, this is just right! Let’s go drink some wine and eat ginseng!”
After saying this, a faint sigh came from the Taihao Palace. It was an old minister's helplessness that the Jiang family had gone astray, and it was also the father's concern for his son.
Jiang Xingze looked a little serious at the moment. He walked side by side with Jiang Feng, chattering as he walked.
"Let your son Jiang Ruisheng go and have some experience first to see his abilities and skills, and test the depth of the Linghe River along the way."
"The Liuzhou Alliance needs to move around. It would be great if we could get them to join the team."
"The King of Hell is aggressive and the kid is difficult to deal with. Over in Chang'an, I have asked people to forge their resumes and send six talents from our Taihao Academy. Although the current official rank is not high, there is still hope for the future, even if they cannot become big Officials can also deliver some news."
"Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. I have already sent people to the sericulture gate of the farmhouse and sent the "Five Grain Civil Order" to those bad old men at the farmhouse. I believe they will be very interested. If the sericulture gate takes action, I will Liu Quansheng’s strength will surely lead to defeat.”
"There is no room for others to sleep on the side of the bed. The Zhao family who came just now must be eradicated as soon as possible. The Liu family has been destroyed and the Jiang family's back road has been cut off. Zhao Yuhai must be killed, Xianggu County must be taken, and the waterway must be opened to prepare for emergencies. "
"There is something I must remind you. Ruisheng has a weak heart, evil intentions, and is driven by his will. Even if he has good abilities, it is difficult for him to achieve great things. Brother, you are still in the age of dragon and tiger. Why don't you take out your bird and use it again? , choose a close friend and ask for another one."
"Your 'two wolves', Ji Le Feng Du and Huan Yue Mansion, are both wild and reckless. They will not surrender to you easily. They need to be on guard against them. The remaining civilized families in Quzhou need to be dealt with separately."
"The family affairs of my family, Mr. Jiang, will be handed over to my brother from now on, and I will live here permanently. This way we can keep in touch."
As Jiang Feng walked, he patiently listened to Jiang Xingze's suggestions, feeling warm in his heart.
...
You have never said a word, but I have thought about you a thousand times. This is brother!
