Chapter 1049 The rift between the island owners
Peng Qingluan tried hard to persuade him, and Yan Shuangshuang was angry. The second island master Ye Lifeng, who was hit by dizziness, also got up from the ground with an expression of indifference. From beginning to end, Ye Lifeng was abused by Tang Jiusheng. He thought that Tang Jiusheng had only a reputation, but now he was abused by Tang Jiusheng so hard that he could not find Bei. Ye Lifeng had an ambitious plan, but now he had no way to talk about it.
When Peng Qingluan saw that Tiedun and Tang Jiusheng wanted to chat, she was well-behaved and said hello to Tiedun. Tang Jiusheng said, using the excuse to repair the courtyard that was destroyed by Tang Jiusheng and Yelifeng, and left with Yelifeng and Yan first. When Tang Jiusheng saw the three of them walking away, he asked Tiedun with a smile: "Tiedan, I heard that you refused to obey the day before yesterday, why are you still alone now?"
Tie Dun smiled embarrassedly and said, "Isn't this a sister Lingxian advised me? She advised me to go with the flow of things. Alas, I can't do anything. I don't lack good friends now? I must have no choice! So I can only choose to accept it. People will not recognize their position without being beaten by reality. I now understand that although I am the nominal king, so what? If the lack of soldiers, major generals, lack of silver and food, they will not be able to condense people's hearts. Although Qingluan is a water thief, once she marrys me, she will become a good person."
Tang Jiusheng patted Tieton on the shoulder and laughed: "Not bad! Tiedan has grown up and has become a real adult. In fact, how can there be no conflict between people? In many cases, after everyone fights, they compromise with each other through negotiations, take a step back, and reach a new balance, unless the strength of the two sides is too different. In fact, there is no deep hatred between you and Peng Qingluan, it is just that everyone takes what they need!"
Tiedun deeply agreed with Tang Jiusheng's words, "Boss, when I first met you, I thought you were young and a playboy who could only fight cocks and dogs. But after a while, I found that although you are the son of the national teacher, you have suffered a lot. The most important thing is that you are still kind-hearted and always like to 'memorize others' business', so although you are much younger than me, I am willing to recognize you as the boss!"
Tang Jiusheng laughed and said, "I said that everyone takes their own needs, and I am not a saint. I helped you, which is good for me, right? At least I help you as the king, so I don't have to worry about the sudden rebellion when Yin Quan resigns. Even if I invest, it is convenient for others and for myself. Of course, this is from a utilitarian perspective. If I look at it from my own perspective, I can help you avenge your father and brother, and it is also a pleasure in life. Doing something will benefit both the country and yourself, wouldn't it be beautiful?"
The two of them started walking around the house and chatted while walking. Peng Qingluan and Yanshuang, and Yelifeng also chatted while walking.
Yelifeng bowed to Peng Qingluan and said, "Big niece, my elder brother has been in seclusion for the sake of practicing the secret method of Yuanling over the years and is not very concerned about the matter on the island. Occasionally, I just sent Leng Yantao to spread a few words. The outside affairs have been maintained by me and my third brother Nanyun. We once suspected that my elder brother is no longer alive. Now my elder brother suddenly came out of seclusion once, but he came to rob Tie Dun to the island and let him be his son-in-law. It's not that my second uncle talks too much, but just Tie Dun's betrayal dog, what ability can he be a king?"
Yan Shuangshuang didn't look at him, just walked. Peng Qingluan glanced at Ye Lifeng meaningfully and smiled and said, "A person like Tiebu can be a king, why can't Tiedun? Since anyone like Dad can choose Tiedun, then he must have something extraordinary! Besides, he is a descendant of the king, can't he deserve the daughter of a thief like me? My father once asked me, 'Daughter, do you think we can always fight the court like this?"
Seeing that Yanshuangshuang and Yelifeng were not saying a word, Peng Qingluan asked and replied: "Since you can't, why didn't you find a way out sooner? That's why I decided to agree with Tiedun and cooperate with Tiedun to find a way out for thousands of brothers on our island! Otherwise, one day, when the official army really came, the situation would be over and it would be too late to regret it!"
The three of them walked to the pavilion in the garden and sat down. Yelifeng, who had a bruised nose and only had some golden sore medicine, frowned in pain and said, "Big niece, I understand, what you mean is that our island should accept the court's amnesty as soon as possible.
I don’t object. But now the king of our country who is back home is Tiebu. Even if you want to accept the amnesty, you will contact Dachang City. If you follow Tiedu, what’s the matter if you are not justified?"
Peng Qingluan smiled disapprovingly and said, "The second island master, Tiedun's father is Tieku, and he is the legitimate third prince. He was also secretly ordered by the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty and was named the new king of Tuhui. Tiebu is just a rebel who killed his king and father. He lucky enough to seize the throne. It has only been three years now. If you want to know his reputation, he is not even as good as our group of thieves who are kings and dominating on the island. How could I surrender him?"
Yelifeng narrowed his swollen eyes and sighed, "Big niece, you are really young! Young people have little experience and look at the problem too one-sidedly! The so-called "threatening hooks" kill, and the marquis of the country! Tiebu is now the actual ruler who returns to the country. He has great power and his troops are in his hands. The Emperor of Shang did not send out a soldier or a soldier, but only issued a piece of waste paper. What does that mean? The Emperor of Shang can't even handle a eunuch, can you still count on him?"
Peng Qingluan spread his hands, "Second Island Master, who do you think I can count on? The mountains will fall, and the water will flow. We can only save ourselves and have hope! This is the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty sent a prince to support Tiedun. Tiedun has gathered 20,000 to 30,000 elite troops and is ready to attack Dachang City. Tiedun has always been unpopular on the other side, and the court officials and the people have complained about him. Now, Tiedun raised his arms and shouted, and the people in the world will respond in groups!"
Yelifeng laughed and stood up proudly, "My niece, you've made a mistake in this abacus! So what if Tang Jiusheng is so awesome? He brought about a dozen people to Buguo, and he would be a big deal? If the people on our island can unite, I think he can't even leave Chenyu Island, let alone go to Dachang City! I heard yesterday that Tiedun now only owns Qiantuo City and Demon Lord State. With Tiedun's current conditions, he will slowly say that he can seize Dachang City. Can he defend the two cities he now occupy?"
Yan Shuangshuang listened to the two arguing, but didn't say anything, just staring at the eaves of the pavilion. After a while, Yan Shuangshuang saw the fierce dispute between the two and said quietly, "Why do we have to live on this island all our lives? Why do we have to participate in the disputes outside the island? What does it have to do with us who is the king? We are not willing to be enslaved, so we went to Chenyu Island. Why do we keep being a foreigner on this island!"
Yelifeng looked at Yan Shuangshuang's eyes. He really didn't admire the woman's brain. Yelifeng said helplessly: "My great offering, if it is a martial arts creation, I am indeed far inferior to you. But our Chenyu Island is no longer the Chenyu Island twenty years ago. The Chenyu Island twenty years ago was at most a gang. But after we robbed prefectures and counties a few years ago and fought with the government army, our nature changed and became a rebel. The reason why we have not been eliminated by the court is that we have just obtained a bargain!"
Yan Shuangshuang said a little disdainfully: "Have we picked up a bargain on the island? What bargain has it been picked? If the imperial court really dares to come to conquer our Chenyu Island, I dare not say that others. At least I can kill hundreds of official troops in one breath, so that he will never dare to face our Chenyu Island from now on! Since we can be king on this island, why should we be recruited by the imperial court? Free on the island or free on the shore?"
Yelifeng rubbed his scratched face with his hands and took a breath of pain. Yelifeng stretched out a finger and said, "The great worship, there are many reasons why our island has not been wiped out by the court in recent years. First, there are rebellions in the south, and the scale of those rebellions is generally large, invading states and seizing counties, and openly claiming to be kings. However, we are limited to one island, and the harm is relatively small, so the court naturally has to give priority to quelling the rebellions in the south!"
Yelifeng stretched out another finger and said, "Second, Tiebu killed Tieku three years ago and became king. Many court officials were dissatisfied. Tiebu must give priority to the matters within the court and have no time to take care of us, so we temporarily tolerate us to continue to be free on the island. Once Tiebu can free up his hands, how can he ignore our Shenyu Island? How can he not let others sleep soundly when he is lying beside the bed! If it were you, can you tolerate the existence of a country in the country?"
Peng Qingluan nodded and praised: "What the second island owner said makes sense. Tiebu has indeed not made any moves to deal with us yet! After Tiebu stabilizes the world,
He will definitely send troops to us!" Seeing that Yeli Feng's face was gloomy, Peng Qingluan added: "But, in my opinion, Tiebu is a person who dares to kill even his own uncle for the sake of power. Such a person has no bottom line. It would be a bit unwise for you to pin your hopes on him!"
Yelifeng stood up in anger and said heartbrokenly, "Big niece, this is a bad statement! Tiebu killed Tieku, that was a power struggle. Who wouldn't want to take the throne? That was a royal family business, how could it be compared with our situation? The court is now reluctant to give up on us in order to win us to accept revenge?"
The smile on Peng Qingluan's face gradually solidified and asked meaningfully: "So the second island master agrees with Tiebu's approach? Is that assuming that one day my father or me will affect the power of the second island master, the second island master will not tolerate our father and daughter and will attack us?"
Yelifeng's eyelids trembled, then said helplessly: "Niece, what are you thinking about? My brother was so kind to me back then, and my kindness was as heavy as a mountain. That's why I chose to stay on the island to do things for my brother. I worked hard just to plan the future of our island. As for the court, it was just because their power was greater than us, and we had no choice! Humph, if we had 30,000 or 50,000 troops on hand, would we still have to look at the face of the court?"
Peng Qingluan's face relaxed slightly, "Thank you for your hard work in the second island master! It is indeed not a long-term solution for us to trap this island. In this way, Tang Jiusheng will host the wedding of Tie Dun tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After I get married with Tie Dun, let's discuss the future of Shenyu Island together. The second island master is resourceful and has been worried about our island. It can be said that he has worked hard and made great contributions. Why not take advantage of my marriage to rest more in the past two days?"
Yelifeng's face looked extremely ugly, and she sighed to the sky and said bitterly: "Niece, do you really want to marry Tiedun? This is the way to cause disaster! From then on, our Chenyu Island will not be tolerated to the court and become a real rebellion. Maybe the imperial army of the imperial court will soon arrive, you must think about it! I am not questioning the big brother's vision of choosing a son-in-law, I am considering the future of our Chenyu Island and the thousands of brothers on the island!"
Peng Qingluan rolled his eyes and said, "Titun is the king conferred by the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty and the son of the old king. When he comes back to take back the throne, I am going to help him. This is a legitimate thing! It is said that if the name is not correct, the words will not go well, and if the words are not smooth, the things will not go well. This is why Tiebu is always panicked when sitting on the throne! So many people below do not accept him, how can he be safe?"
Ye Lifeng shook his head and said distressedly: "Big niece, the world does not believe in reputation, but only believes in strength. It is legitimate to have strength! Even if Tiedun has several cities, he has gathered 30,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses, but Tiebu is holding the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that we have returned to China in his hand, most of the land. Tiebu wants money and money, food and food, and soldiers and soldiers. Just rely on your little soldiers and horses and horses, it is not enough to get together. Tiebu fights in one go, so it's better not to make trouble!"
Peng Qingluan stood up and said unhappily: "Even if Tie Dun does not have many soldiers on hand now, Da Yi is on his side, and Da Shang is on his side, so I have to stand on his side. Believe me, even I want to stand by him, and more and more people will stand by him in the future! Not to mention the distance, just a year ago, can you imagine that Tie Dun will have so many people standing by his side when he comes back? Second Island Master, you and I are betting on Tie Bu now, but you are betting on Tie Bu, and I am betting on Tie Dun!"
Yelifeng suddenly had nothing to say, and stood up and walked silently outside the pavilion. He knew that the crack between him and Peng Qingluan could no longer be eliminated. The clue could be seen from Peng Qingluan's refusal to call him his second uncle, but called him the second island master.
Peng Qingluan looked at Yelifeng's back and suddenly shouted: "The second island master, the one who knows the current affairs is a hero! It is foreseeable that Tiebu will betrayal next. You must think about it, otherwise, one step is wrong, every step is wrong!"
Yelifeng did not turn back, and his steps to leave were firm. Yanshuang looked at Yelifeng's back, hesitated, and finally said softly: "Qingluan, no matter what, the second island master is also considering the future of our Shenyu Island. Alas, there are some things that he has his opinion, and he and you cannot talk about who is right or wrong. You are all smart people, but smart people have their own ideas, and it is the hardest to persuade them."
