Xu Zhaonan is sitting on the right, wearing bright yellow and crimson robes, his eyes are calm and gentle, not angry but powerful.
"...In May, Huang Quan was killed... Do you still remember him? I liked him very much. The first time we met, he was the one who pulled the strings. He was smiling, a fat man, and he looked like a fat man.
It’s good to be with anyone…”
"...Why did I kill him? For you... This year, people have changed. The territory has expanded too much, there are many people under his command, and a group of bastards are trying to flatter you. He started to look down on you. Come to me and say, Mr. Xu
, that thin man He Wen, his subordinates are no longer as good as ours now, what else does he have besides his great reputation? He looks down on you, so I helped you become him..."
"... Fatty, you know I'm going to kill him, but you dare to resist."
"...You know, Chen Juefang killed thirty-six members of his family. If he didn't resist, fewer people would have died."
"...Why kill him? The fat guy has a smile and can talk...but in my place, whoever doesn't respect the King of Justice disrespects me...Xu Zhaonan."
Xu Zhaonan tapped his fingers and looked at the person opposite.
"...I came here this year and said that I want to kill you. Huang Quan is not the first one... Especially during the meeting, the scholars under him said that your reputation is too great, and I must be the first to kill you, otherwise there will be trouble -
—I treat you as one of my own! I, Xu Zhaonan, treat you as one of my own!"
"...What does Xu Zhaonan do? Xu Zhaonan believes in the Guangming Sect. He Wen. People who believe in religion are sincere. The book of the Great Guangming Sect tells us that we must be moral and have a clear conscience. We must respect Heaven and Fazu.
, By the way, we must be worthy of our fellow believers and people... Why can I, Xu Zhaonan, pull people up? In so many years, I have never wronged my brothers!"
"...But now you feel sorry for me. You are reaching out to my territory. Do you really want to start a fight?"
The carriage moved forward sluggishly, and the street scene and skylight from the outside world occasionally appeared through the gaps in the curtains blown by the autumn wind. Xu Zhaonan stared at He Wen in front of him. After a while, he saw He Wen sigh.
"You have really done something about the book club."
"Nothing has been done. In the two years since the Fair Party, how many people have you and I killed? How many people has that lunatic Zhou Shang killed? Only when you give orders to my territory can we say we have done it!"
"People in the book club have good ideas..."
"Don't be so sloppy with me, Brother He. When everyone speaks out behind closed doors, don't pretend to be crazy for me here. Come to my territory and issue your order from the King of Justice. Don't kill people in the reading club indiscriminately. You
I want to win the hearts of the book club, but I promise you, no one can escape to your territory in the future. If we can't reach an agreement this afternoon, I will start to mobilize the Wusheng Army to go to Taihu Lake in the evening - I am not the only one who will
this way!"
He Wen sat there, looking at him calmly. Xu Zhaonan's eyes were angry and he leaned back. After a while, he pointed at He Wen.
"This time you didn't listen."
He Wen sat facing forward, his eyes lowered, and then raised his head.
"Xu Gong, show your determination and work with me?"
"What?"
"From the beginning to the end, I was not joking. I said all the things on the table, but none of you believed me. You thought I was joking, that I was playing some conspiracy to get someone out of the game...
No, Mr. Xu, the Fairness Party is in a critical situation. Put aside your loyalty and work with me to carry out reforms. Gao Chang has decided to join me. We join forces and are not afraid of Shi Baofeng and Zhou Shang."
"...Do you think I'm a fool?" Xu Zhaonan tilted his head and looked at him, "Why do you want to change it? Change your loyalty to the world? Do you still want to be a human being when your loyalty is gone? Those things in the reading club were brought out by Southwest to favor fools!
Do you really believe it?"
"Xu Gong, you really don't believe it?" He Wen looked at him with a half-smile, then raised his hand, "Huang Quan touched your concubine and she was killed by you, why bother? Brothers are like brothers, wives are like brothers.
For example, clothes, let alone the fact that many people think it is an unjust case, even if it is true, just give it to him. When it comes to handling things, Huang Quan is more capable than Chen Juefang."
The two looked at each other.
"...Hehehehe...hehehehehahahaha." Xu Zhaonan couldn't help laughing, with his teeth exposed, "Hahahahaha...Huang Quan, haha...that concubine is my new crush,
Everyone knows that he is my new favorite. He is the one in charge of the Undead Guard. He let people spread that kind of news. What should I do? If I don’t touch him, why don’t people think that he is too important for me to touch? He tried
Me... As for what a concubine is? Do I care? Don't say that he doesn't like it, even if he likes it, if you talk to me in private, we can be together. My brothers, how can we be happy alone, right?
Bar?"
"Mr. Xu... is open-minded." He Wen paused and smiled, "Now it feels like we are talking behind closed doors."
"Really?" Xu Zhaonan laughed, "You bastard, you should kill him too... But having said that, the girl is good and a good family member. If I hadn't killed her when I killed Huang Quan, we can all taste it together today.
"
"Definitely next time."
He Wen smiled, but Xu Zhaonan pointed at him fiercely, his hand pointed in the air and did not move for a long time. The smile on He Wen's face gradually turned calm, and after a while, it even turned indifferent.
"Thousands of sails are passing by the side of the sunken boat, and thousands of trees are growing in front of the diseased trees. The Fair Party will never be able to turn back, Mr. Xu."
"The Fairness Party can't go back, and there is no need to go back. You either have evil intentions and want to deal with us, or you were deceived by the people in the book club and have your own whims." Xu Zhaonan paused after saying this.
, "No, people from the book club can't deceive you - were you deceived by Ning Yi from Southwest?"
"... At the Fair Party Conference, it is meaningless to compromise at all levels in the end. In the end, it will be nothing more than a stronger Fang La. And Xu Gong, these problems will ultimately boil down to the issue of organization..."
"You see you are full of lies about southwest China..."
"Is there any problem? We will eventually be dragged to the battlefield. Xu Gong, in the battle between the Jurchen West Route Army and the Chinese Army, Zong Han and Xi Yin led the army, and their generals are all proficient in troop formation... It's useless.
Once the grenade is thrown, all your troop formations will be nonsense. Southwest will disperse the troops directly, but the order can still be carried out. Everyone of them will use their brains. Throw your inanimate army out and give it a try." He Wendao, "...
This is a change that has not happened in thousands of years.”
"Sooner or later, Southwest will fold. Mr. He, you don't have to think about him at all."
"Mr. Xu, do you also believe that you are strong and easy to break?"
"I believe in the moderation of you scholars, Mr. He. Since ancient times, in these major events, the best and the worst will all be eliminated... People in the world talk about inner demons, He Wen,
The Great Light Sect is the real inner demon. Have you ever seen what is in the hearts of those who believe in it? You have been studying all your life, do you know what is in the hearts of those at the bottom of this world? Do you want reform? Do you want organization?
Want everyone to read? Consciously? Only a few among a thousand people can do it!"
Xu Zhaonan leaned forward and looked seriously: "You can use some methods to suppress everyone like this! Ning Yi can do it and can still hold on so far. He is amazing. But I know better that sooner or later it will be
It's going to explode. What kind of inner demon, I have watched the human heart in this world for a lifetime! Ning Yi goes against it and uses all his methods. He is great. But there will be an end... Southwest talks about studying things and laws. I am the only one who can talk about it.
It’s the law, and you are all doing things that go against the law!”
He Wen laughed: "Xu Gong really knows the southwest very well."
Xu Zhaonan looked to the side and waved his hand: "He Wen, don't lead the conversation here. I told you, you are most likely going to deal with someone... We took advantage of the troubled times to raise troops and have been together for more than a year, which can be regarded as helping each other.
, I, Xu Zhaonan, ask myself whether I am worthy of you. If you don’t tell me, I can only think that it is me you want to deal with... As for being instigated by Southwest, if you really want to risk everything and turn around, then what you have done recently is too rough. "
He Wen sighed, thought for a while, and leaned forward again: "The road knows the horse power, and the time knows the human heart. In this way, if I really have bad intentions and want to deal with you, Mr. Xu, you will be beaten back."
It should be. But if... After a while, Mr. Xu, you find that I really sacrifice everything and want to innovate, I will set rules and use the fire of the reading club to gather people who are really willing to take the right path...
… Mr. Xu, you are someone who has read the Southwest Theory. At that time, ask yourself, will you follow it?”
Xu Zhaonan stared at him, he opened his mouth, his eyes were confused and he didn't speak.
He Wen lowered his voice: "People from the southwest have indeed come here. They found me and asked me what I thought. They definitely support me. Mr. Xu, there is nothing easy in this world. Do you want to be a Fang La and catch a few people?"
My concubine has been living happily for a few years, or do you want to really do something in this world and maybe have a good death? Mr. Xu, please think about it, even if you are not sure about your decision now, it will not be too late by then, as long as you are willing to innovate.
, if you are willing to follow the rules, our door will always be open to you."
"...That's not what people in the southwest said when they found me."
"The person coming from the southwest is Chen Fan."
He Wen said these words softly, and in the carriage, Xu Zhaonan's breathing became a little heavier.
"... Mr. Xu, come here and issue orders to your territory during the meeting, directly provoking, one against four, as you said, these actions are a bit rough. If I don't have the cards in my hand, I
How dare you do this? In addition, if you have seen those things in the Southwest, you should know that once you are determined to carry out this level of reform, you cannot be sloppy in doing things, and work slowly, even if you have to cut the flesh, and having a clear attitude is the most important thing
.Just like Ning Yi, if he wants to rebel, he has to kill the emperor and cut off the relationship between both parties with one knife..."
"...I don't expect Mr. Xu to believe me directly. If you think it's a conspiracy, just follow the conspiracy. But let's close the door today. I, He, will treat myself as dead from the moment of rebellion. This
This thing is difficult and you find it incredible, but I am not afraid of you. Even if no one follows, I will beat the four of you today! Either you beat me to death, or I will beat you to death! Because if you don’t do this, the Fair Party will be finished -
—You have to finish too!"
He Wen's voice was high-pitched for a moment, then lowered again.
"...I think this difficult road is the only way. If Mr. Xu really doesn't believe it, there is nothing you can do. But if Mr. Xu thinks about it carefully and thinks it makes sense, I don't ask for anything else. I only hope that Mr. Xu
Sir, please leave a little room. As you said, my order is issued to your territory, and those people from the reading club cannot get out. But before you think clearly, you have caught them. Can you not leave them temporarily?
Kill. If we want to fight, all I ask of you is this, even if it is...a little tacit understanding between us in private."
Xu Zhaonan looked at him.
The carriage continued to move forward slowly. When it reached a certain place, Xu Zhaonan got up and got out of the car. He tapped his fingers on the bench in front of He Wen.
"If what you said is true... Zhou Shang is much more normal than you. You are brothers... crazy!"
He opened the curtain and got out of the carriage. He Wen laughed, turned his head and looked at Xu Zhaonan's figure getting out of the carriage, and said: "Zhou Shang said he would follow me. Xu Gong will think about it."
"I'll go to your uncle——"
Xu Zhaonan waved his sleeves and strode away.
The curtains were lowered, covering up the desolation of late autumn outside. He Wen was sitting in the car, his eyes becoming serious, and then gradually becoming confused...
He went to the small courtyard where he lived and met with a few more people. When night came, Shi Baofeng came by car, and He Wen connected him to the study.
Compared to Xu Zhaonan in the afternoon, Shi Baofeng's attitude was more ferocious, and he was more ready to call for punishment. His son's hand was chopped off by someone from the southwest. Now, wherever he takes it, he can make words that can suppress people. He was on the spot.
Then he also criticized He Wen.
He Wen didn't care, he didn't even bother to pour tea for him.
"When the public kept silent, it was a black flag. People did something. Who saw it?"
"Tongshan Monkey King Li Yanfeng was..."
"Tongshan Li Yanfeng is a bastard. His father was trampled to death by the Luliang cavalry in Zhuxian Town. Why couldn't he do such a frame-up and nonsense? Xu Zhaonan said he was a bastard all afternoon!"
"What Mr. He means is that Li Yanfeng deceived people, and so did I? My son is missing a hand——"
"Starting from the incident at Wuhu Inn, you were the first to get mad at me when I was surnamed. It just so happened that the Second Young Master incident happened. You tied the book club and Black Flag to me. Who knows what you are worried about!?"
With a bang, Shi Baofeng overturned the tables and chairs in the room.
"You have no son..."
"My son died while I was in jail!"
There was a loud noise, and two figures faced each other in the room. Shi Baofeng's fingers trembled: "He, we have known each other for so many years. What happened today, you said I wanted to deal with you..."
"Isn't it? Your son made that batch of pamphlets at Wuhu Inn, you don't know about them? They belong to Nongxian Zhao Jingci... Didn't you come to me? What did you want to do? Black Flag did it... Did you
You want to say that I ordered Black Flag to chop off Wei Yang's hand!? If you can tell, just say it!"
"...I...I used the pamphlet to get you to express your stance on the reading club!" Shi Baofeng's voice hesitated, "Sooner or later, something will happen to the reading club, and it will become a serious problem. How many times have I told you...
…”
"How many times have I told you about my idea for a book club, and how many times have you listened!?"
The two have known each other for a long time. Although they cannot be called friends for many years, after the Fair Party uprising, they were at least close partners and the most friendly among the kings. At this time, Shi Baofeng sat tremblingly on the chair next to him.
Next, He Wen put one hand on his waist. Both of them were angry for a while before He Wen turned around.
"I organized the reading club," he said.
Shi Baofeng took the tea cup next to the chair and wanted to pour tea. At this time, he waved his sleeves and swept away everything on the coffee table. The debris flew: "His surname, you can even lie to me?"
"Brother Shi, I've told you many times, but you take it as a child's play, but no matter what, a decision must be made." He Wen turned around and brought another tea set from the side, "The Fair Party is about to end.
Outside, you can see the flowers cooking in the flames, but that’s when the root of the disease is about to come out. I have to make this innovation, so you can do it with me."
"..." Shi Baofeng stared at him, and then his eyes softened, "Can't you... think of a solution after this meeting?"
"As soon as this meeting is over, the word compromise will be ingrained into the bone marrow of the Fairness Party. After that, no one can remove this root cause."
"——Then you create such a big scene in front of the whole world!"
"I just want to burn down the Fairness Party with a fire, so that the whole world can see it! What I want, let the whole world see clearly, and then the phoenix will emerge from nirvana in the fire!"
"You psycho..."
"I've been crazy for many years, brother Shi." He Wen said, paused, and lowered his voice, "Heiqi did have people here, but they didn't do Wei Yang's thing. They said they support me, General Gao,
Mr. Xu is also tempted. Brother Shi, make up your mind and join me. If the Fair Party does not carry out major reforms and cure the poison, it will be hopeless."
"You...really followed Black Flag..."
"The person coming from Black Flag is Chen Fan. If he takes action, Wei Yang will be dead. What can Li Yanfeng say? I told you, he is just a monkey-playing gangster."
"..."
There was silence in the room for a moment.
After that, there were several rounds of earnest persuasion and arguments.
There is actually no conclusion to this day's debate. Across the land thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River, on the territory of the five factions of the Fairness Party, large numbers of troops have already begun to assemble under various orders.
In the past two years, the five branches of the Fair Party have been developing wildly. In many places, each other's territories are intertwined, and many small forces whose ownership is actually undecided are involved. Once there is a confrontation, in the foreseeable future, it will inevitably be a round.
Massive chaos.
But the King of Fairness showed hostility, and the other four families had to take action.
The next morning, Zhou Shang also came to see He Wen. His attitude was quite direct: "I'm here to see a dead man."
He Wen looked at him for a while: "...let's do it together."
…
In the city, the Fair Party's conference was still going on. After the meeting that afternoon, Xu Zhaonan, Shi Baofeng, Zhou Shang, and Gao Chang met in private to exchange their attitudes.
"He Wen is crazy. He said he wants to create a new Fairness Party."
"Mr. He said you were with him."
"That's what he told me about you..."
"Mr. He said that the people in the southwest are on his side."
"Either it's deceptive..."
"In other words, Ning Yi has good tricks. He was thousands of miles away and solved the Fair King in a few words... and started his own rebellion..."
"What should we do now?"
"Is there any other way to work together to kill him?"
"Are we all of the same mind?"
The four of them looked at me, and I looked at you. Zhou Shang couldn't help laughing, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a commotion coming from not far away, followed by warning fireworks and arrows.
At this time, riots caused by reading clubs were common in Jiangning City, which was not surprising, but this time the level of fireworks was very high. After a while, someone came over to report. Jingwen Street, which must be passed by after leaving the venue, was fair.
The king was assassinated, and at this time, the fighting was still going on.
"This is not a small scale." Zhou Shang laughed as he listened to the voice coming from a distance.
"Who did it?" Shi Baofeng frowned.
"I haven't done anything yet." Xu Zhaonan said, "Would you like to go over and take a look?"
Gao Chang, who had been relatively silent, sat at the table drinking tea.
"Let's go see it after we die."
he said.
…
On the evening of September 13th, on the streets of Jingwen Street in Jiangning.
Just as Fair King He Wen left the venue and the carriage entered the street, many assassins appeared from all directions, using a large number of crossbows and even clay pot grenades to assassinate He Wen's carriage with concentrated fire.
The explosion spread.
The carriage carriage with iron plates was blown up and rolled on the street, and then a fierce fighting broke out on the entire long street. The two sides fighting at this time were the most elite soldiers, and the killing intensity unfolded in the blink of an eye.
, which has surpassed the countless firefights that have unfolded in this city in the past few months.
