The first thing Lide did after waking up was to confirm the time and place with Xiang Zhehua.
It has been four days since the assassination of Xiang Tiange... No, to be precise, it has been four days since he went to Xiang Tiange's mansion to act wildly. During this period of time, Xiang Zhehua was also ignorant of any information from the outside world, but judging from the fact that Splendid City is still peaceful, it is estimated that the main combat faction and the main peace faction have not yet started to act.
Li De asked Xiang Zhehua to stay here first, and went shopping in the street by himself. There were not many pedestrians around in the morning. Lide found an old man who was selling breakfast on a cart, and bought all the tea eggs, shortbread, and tofu nao that the old man had. At the same time, he asked about what happened in the past few days.
Afterwards, Lide didn't keep Xiang Zhehua waiting for too long, and went back to divide up the food he bought, and ate it hungrily. People who are extremely hungry can't eat too much at one time, but Lide is in urgent need of energy, so he doesn't care too much.
Xiang Zhehua ate in small bites while observing Lide's expression. After Lid finished eating, she whispered to Lid:
"Thank you."
Lid glanced at her and replied:
"It doesn't add up to more than two silver coins, thank you."
Xiang Zhehua smiled and said:
"It's not thanks for breakfast, but thank you... for coming to save me."
Lid patted her on the shoulder:
"You were sent by me, so you can be regarded as one of my people. You are in danger, so I have to save you. What's more, Jiang Yuesheng is dead anyway, so there is nothing to worry about."
Xiang Zhehua was taken aback for a moment:
"Is Jiang Yue alive or dead?"
Xiang Zhehua really didn't know about it. She always thought that Li De didn't go to assassinate Jiang Yuesheng, but came directly to save her, so before she fell into a coma, she kept telling Li De to leave quickly and give Jiang Yuesheng a good time. Since then, Xiang Zhehua has been with Li De all the time, but he has not been able to go out to find out the news.
Lied nodded:
"I killed it, but it can be regarded as the old general's own suicide. He is a respectable person. After thinking about it, I have to apologize to his wife and descendants. If the descendants of the old general are willing, I can save this time from Giving them all the banknotes extorted from Linglong is an apology."
Xiang Zhehua was confused.
Lid sighed and said to her:
"People in the world say that the authorities are obsessed, and the onlookers are clear. But many things are seen through the eyes of outsiders, but the person involved is the one who knows the most. In Jiang Yuesheng's statement, he once said that his greatest wish was not to cause harm to his family. He hoped that his wife and children Nothing happened. At that time, I vaguely had a guess. Maybe the old general already knew that his death was the best ending, but he couldn't do it. So I gave him a chance to commit suicide, and he also grasped it. Living… "
Li De stood up from the ground with his knees supported. Although the matter here has come to an end, Li De is obviously not in a good mood. He is not a benevolent person, otherwise Jiang Yuesheng would not have to die at all. As long as the old man Mingzhu releases the news, the life and death of the old general will not matter. Anyway, it is impossible for the main combat faction and the main peace faction to escort Jiang Yuesheng around Southern Chu, announcing to the world that Jiang Yuesheng is still alive.
But he still killed Jiang Yuesheng. On the one hand, it was for insurance, and on the other hand, Li De felt in his heart that Jiang Yuesheng would not let Jiang Yuesheng see the next chaos in Nanchu. On the contrary, it is a good thing. Human life is so precious, many people would kneel at the feet of the strong and beg for mercy in order to survive, but Jiang Yuesheng was willing to slit his throat for the orthodoxy of Nanchu.
Lid glanced at the gray sky and said in a low voice:
"It doesn't make any sense to stay here, let's go."
The two left Jinxiu City and headed north while inquiring about the return route of the old general's wife.
Nan Chu was not stable for too long.
Not long after Li De and Xiang Zhehua left Jinxiu City, that is, the day Jiang Yue gave birth to her first seven days, the main battle faction and Zhuhe sent troops to Qingjun's side, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Chu lord. It rained again that day, and the sound of marching footsteps was covered by thunderstorms. It was getting dark early, and the army was lighting candles that were not afraid of water, but they still could only illuminate a small area in front of them, and the distant places were endless dark.
Back then, the battle in Yunyang was small, and not many people paid attention to it.
But today's Southern Chu, every move affects the hearts of people all over the world.
No one knows what direction Nanchu will go in the future, including Xiang Zhiqing and Xiang Geling who started this war. The two old men both put on cold armor, held heavy spears, marched forward in the rain, and attacked the Lord's Mansion with the army all the way, surrounding the large mansion that occupied more than half of the city. No resistance was encountered during the period, all checkpoints were released, and the soldiers under the two men hardly suffered any loss.
The heavy rain washes over this dark world.
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion opened slowly, and Xiang Mu, the lord of Nanchu, came out alone.
He didn't have an umbrella.
The moment they saw him, Xiang Ge Ling and Xiang Zhiqing felt bitterness in their hearts. Xiang Mu is in his forties this year, and it looks like he is only in his early thirties. He still retains the heroic spirit of his youth, but the years have turned all the rebelliousness in him into maturity and indifference. If Xiang Geling and Xiang Zhiqing remembered him as a sharp sword, then at this time Xiang Mu had already shed those external auras and became calm in his actions.
Mount Tai collapsed in front of it without changing its color, so it should be.
Looking at the black army, Xiang Mu stroked the beard on his chin calmly, and said with a smile:
"Long time no see, the two uncles have lost a lot of weight."
Xiang Zhiqing rode on the horse, pointed the spear in his hand obliquely at the ground, and said to Xiang Mu:
"You don't need to be polite, Mu boy. You know what we are here for."
Xiang Mu still smiled calmly and replied:
"I know. However, the kid still wants a reason."
Xiang Jiqing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.
Heavy rain fell on his helmet, pulling the scene back decades. Xiang Jiqing pursed his lips, and said in a calm voice:
"Because of the knife on Sezi's head. Amu, you have changed too much for that woman. Back then when you broke with Xiqin and brought her back forcefully, we persuaded you. That woman is a real disaster. You can control her, but you can't be controlled by her. If you feel that you can't control it, you should kill her! And you? Now that things are going on, you still drag us to a decisive battle with Xiqin, just to keep us She welcomes Nanchu back!"
The robe behind Xiangqing was full of water and hung on the armor.
The white-haired old man clenched the spear in his hand, pointing the spear point directly at Mu's head.
He clenched his teeth, and the expression on his face changed again and again, only the sadness and determination in his eyes were always there.
He said:
"We Southern Chu nobles have bathed in the blessings of this land for generations, and accepted the support of the people here for generations. Only then did we have the grand scene of today's gathering of families. Now you insist on destroying all of these in the flames of war. How can we old guys agree? In the future, when Xiang Geling and I are under the Nine Springs, how will I explain to your father! Xiang Mu, let go of the position of Lord of Southern Chu and leave here. You are... not worthy of sitting in that position."
