Chapter 1,743: The Inherited Suzaku Descends from the Sky
Xuanwu nodded: "The good general you are talking about is Liu Yu, right? He really has no reason not to go into battle this time, but he is not qualified enough now. Even under Sun Wuzhong, he cannot command an army by himself.
, and Liu Laozhi will never allow the old brothers of the Beifu Army to defect to Liu Yu. With those newly recruited recruits, Liu Yu may not be so easy to use."
Qinglong said calmly: "Then let Liu Laozhi also go out. There are also Xie Yan's soldiers and horses in the capital. Sun Wuzhong can go as the vanguard. One of the Liu Laozhi will definitely take the initiative to ask for a fight if Liu Yu moves first. He
Liu Yu will never be allowed to make contributions above him."
Bai Hu smiled and said: "Since Liu Laozhi destroyed Wang Gong, he has really regarded the Beifu Army as his own. I think he doesn't understand the situation. We can make him the commander of the Beifu Army, or we can beat him up at any time.
Yes, but if the Beifu army and the capital soldiers and horses all go out to pacify the Tianshi Dao, what will Huan Xuan of Jingzhou do? If he takes advantage of the situation and wants to attack Jiankang, how can he resist it?"
Qinglong said: "With Sima Shangzhi now out to control Yuzhou, and Yang Quanqi who has always been at odds with Huanxuan, now guarding Yongzhou and threatening his back, and Yin Zhongkan is also fighting secretly with Huanxuan. I'm afraid Huanxuan will not be so easy to raise an army. In the end,
The important thing is that this time he has no excuse. Last time Wang Gong and he joined forces to kill Sima Daozi, but Wang Gong himself became a rebel and was killed. Huan, Yin and Yang retreated last time, so they will not do it this time.
So that we can use the same excuse to raise troops again."
Xuanwu smiled and said: "Huan Xuan will definitely say that he will lead troops to serve the king and pacify the demon thieves of Tianshi Dao. However, as long as Mr. Baihu issues an edict in the name of the imperial court, saying that the demon thieves will be dealt with by the Beifu army, I will not bother him.
, as long as he is prepared to guard against the barbarians in the north, he will have no reason to send troops."
Baihu sighed: "But even if Huanxuan doesn't send troops, he can cut off the water transportation in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River and prevent the money and grain from Jingzhou and Bashu from reaching Jiankang. Now the land of Wu has fallen, and the richest grain-producing area has fallen into the hands of demon thieves.
, I’m afraid there will be a food shortage soon.”
Qinglong frowned: "So we must fight quickly to quell this turmoil of demon thieves as soon as possible. Before quelling the chaos, the military rations of the six counties in Jiangbei and the warehouses of the charity warehouses around Jiankang City will be temporarily used.
Those aristocratic families put aside some of their grain reserves to fight the national crisis together. If someone is trying to make money from the grain at this time, then no matter who they are, they must be severely punished. Do you agree with this?"
A cold voice sounded along with the sound of the secret door turning: "Then, Lord Qinglong, storing food is a matter of accumulating treasures. How do you count the treasures of weapons and weapons left by Suzaku and the predecessor Qinglong?"
Qinglong's expression changed and he looked towards the direction of the secret door. Xuanwu also opened his eyes wide. Only Baihu looked calm as he watched a tall man wrapped in a purple robe slowly approaching.
There is a burnt bronze mask on his face, which is exactly the shape of a red bird. Moreover, this is the one Wang Ningzhi wore before his death at the foot of Shanyin City in Kuaiji!
Qinglong bit his lip tightly with his teeth: "Who are you, and why are you wearing the Suzaku mask?"
The man's eyes were clear and he said calmly: "Because I am the new Suzaku, just like you are the new Qinglong. If I don't wear the Suzaku mask, what else should I wear?"
Qinglong suddenly turned his head and looked at Baihu: "What's going on? I need an explanation!"
Bai Hu said calmly: "According to the old rules of the organization, the previous guard appoints one person, and if one of the other three guards agrees, he can succeed. That's right, Qinglong, you were appointed by Xi Chao. As evidenced by those land deeds,
We believe it tentatively, and Xuanwu recommended it, so it complies with our regulations and can allow you to succeed Qinglong. Although Xi Chao already had the intention of betraying the organization, when he died at the hands of Liu Yu on the stage, his identity was still Qinglong.
, so you can stand here now as one of us."
Qinglong stared at Baihu motionless: "Suzaku asked you to make funeral arrangements before going to Kuaiji?"
Bai Hu said coldly: "It's strange that he found me but not you. But this is Suzaku's behavior. He will never trust anyone and will always have a second choice. If he has nothing to do in Kuaiji
, then there is no need to arrange a successor, but if something happens, it must be related to you, so the successor must not let you know."
Qinglong turned to look at the new Suzaku who was standing aside, and said in a deep voice: "Except Bai Hu, no one can prove that you are the successor left by Suzaku. If you colluded with Bai Hu and staged this drama, how can we trust you?
?”
The new Suzaku slowly took off his mask, and even Xuanwu stood up from his chair in shock. He and Qinglong lost their voices almost at the same time: "How could it be you?!"
The new Suzaku put on his mask calmly, his gaze always staying on Qinglong's face: "Are you surprised or surprised? Every parting in this world is for the next reunion. Over the years, I have become more and more
I feel more and more that this sentence is the most truthful truth in the world."
Qinglong closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Unexpectedly, it is reasonable, and it is true that you are the only one he arranged in the end. I calculated countless times, but I actually missed this point. That's it.
, you were also in Shanyin at that time, why didn't you save him? I know that if you want to save him, you have the ability."
Suzaku said calmly: "According to the rules of the mafia, if you try to make amends after a failure, the guard who still fails must die to apologize. Even if I saved him, he will be dead when he comes back. What's the difference?!"
Xuanwu said in a deep voice: "But after all, you are..."
Zhuque said loudly: "It is precisely because of our relationship that I can't save him. I know Suzaku too well, I know his pride in his bones, and I know that he would rather die than accept help at that time. So, I
I chose to watch him commit suicide. This was his choice and the pride of the descendants of the Langya Wang family."
At this point, Suzaku's eyes sparkled with tears, and a teardrop slipped from his eyes and fell on the burnt black mask.
Qinglong gritted his teeth: "Now that you know I hacked him, do you want to take revenge on me?"
Suzaku said coldly: "It's him who has a grudge against you, not me. I took over Suzaku's duty as a guard and I don't need to be responsible for the life and death of my predecessor. Therefore, from now on here, we will only talk about business matters and not personal grudges.
Don’t you want to reorganize the mafia? Then you certainly don’t want our group to be like your and my predecessors, bringing decades of personal grudges into the organization and ending up like this.”
