Chapter 209 Shaken
Chang Jian was sitting against a boulder, breathing heavily, with blood seeping out of the corners of his mouth and nostrils. A spear was pressed against his throat and above his head. There are also a few beautiful little blue flames spinning in circles.
But Chang Jian didn't seem to care about guns and fire. He stared directly at Li Dachui with doubts in his eyes: "Li Dachui, what kind of kung fu have you practiced?"
Li Dachui chuckled, squatted in front of him, and said, "Secret! Mr. Chang, you didn't expect this day, did you?"
Chang Jian twitched the corners of his mouth, raised one hand, and gently pushed away He picked up the point steel gun that was pressed against his throat, glanced sideways at the fat man next to him, and said, "I am really lucky to be able to see the descendant of Phoenix Lihuo."
Li Kaixin smiled slightly, and the small blue flames hovering above Chang Jian's head were like birds returning to their nests, sinking into the fat man's body one by one.
"Mr. Chang seems very confident, does he think nothing will happen? Is this just a little joke today?"
"Although it is not a joke, I am not worried about my life. , Chang can still tell this!" He raised his head and glanced at Li Dachui and said: "If you really want to kill me, it is not necessary for Butler Li to come. It is enough for the two guards to join forces. In fact, it is just for this. Capture me alive. Speaking of Li Duhu, how did you develop your martial arts skills?"
Li Dachui laughed and sat in front of Chang Jian, "It's still Mr. Chang, just like this. Under the circumstances, we can see the situation clearly. We are indeed not planning to kill you. At that time, after we learned that you were at Heifenggang, we could surround it with a large army and then fight among the rebels. Killing you is the cleanest thing. Now let Li Guohua get some air to lure you out, and then catch you in this inaccessible place. Of course, he has other intentions after spending so much effort."< br>
Xiao Changche, who was behind Li Dachui, snorted, impatiently poked his gun on the ground, and walked back to the shed on the side of the road. Li Kaixin followed closely.
"Captain, I will make you another pot of tea and you can drink it slowly!"
Looking at the backs of the two people, Chang Jian said: "General Xiao has been the Protector, but he still has the same temper and is straight-forward. , thinking that he can eradicate injustice in the world with a little steel gun in his hand, hehe, it is a bit naive. But he is so lucky, he met Li Duhuqian. "
"The world is still there. We need people like Xiao Changche and Zhang Ruo. You may not like them, but you must respect them! What they insist on is actually what we lack!" Li Dachui said calmly: "Mr. Chang, what do you mean? Really?"
Chang Jian was stunned for a while, but then smiled: "Li Duhu, I know what you want me to do, but this is impossible for our Chang family and Linghu family. The entanglement is too deep, and we are deeply bound together. If the Linghu family collapses, how can we, the Chang family, still gain a foothold outside the customs? Therefore, it is impossible for me to betray you. Even if I promise you today, it will definitely be the same. It's up to you to decide whether you want to kill me or not."
" Mr. Chang admitted it frankly!
"Chang is also a perseverant person. No matter what he does in this life, he still has some bottom lines. This face is still worth some money!" Chang Jiandao.
"Indeed, without perseverance, Chang Gong would not have practiced martial arts to this point!"
"Li Duhu, this is a bit humiliating to me." Chang Jian He glared at Li Dachui: "Compared to you, I can only say that I am ashamed of you."
"I'm not asking you to betray Linghuye now." Li Dachui said: "I just hope that Chang will The family might as well take a closer look and think more about it outside the customs. It is wrong for a big family like the Chang family to bet on one power. What if Linghuye loses? Whatever is left."
"At least for now, I don't see how you can shake Linghuye's foundation!" Chang Jian shook his head.
"A year ago, Linghuye was at its peak!" Li Dachui said: "A year later, the Anxi Protectorate was established. Linghuye had an army of one hundred thousand. Now we can also pull out thirty to fifty thousand horses. Linghuye's one hundred thousand Not everyone in the army may be completely devoted to him, but our troops can fight to the death for us. If the two sides were to come into conflict, no one would be able to win. If not, Ling Huye would have taken action against us already, right?" br>
Chang Jian couldn't help but be silent.
"Mr. Chang, Linghuye still wants to enter the pass!" Li Dachui said: "The clouds and waves inside the pass are even more treacherous than outside the pass. It's hard to say how far Linghuye can go. In comparison, What we in Anxi want to do is to take root outside the Pass and fight against the Beiyuan. The Chang family's foundation is outside the Pass. When the time comes, do you really want to give up all your foundation outside the Pass and drag your family with you to fight inside the Pass? You should know that when the time comes, you will leave? , we will unceremoniously accept everything from the Chang family outside the customs."
Chang Jian lowered his head, the expression on his face changed, and it could be seen that his mood was ups and downs at this moment.
"Since you have no intention of letting me betray Linghuye, why did you go to such trouble to catch me today?" Chang Jian asked, raising his head.
"Give you a chance to place a bet with us!" Li Dachui said with a smile: "The Chang family is outside the pass and has a deep foundation. There are many masters in the clan and many have joined the army. They have won the trust of Linghuye and hold the Military power, and deep connections with the local area, may not seem to be famous, but they are truly a faction in the military."
"So what?"
"It's very simple. , Guanzhong is now in chaos. Linghuye is more and more interested in entering Guan. People like Chang who are trusted by him will definitely stay and fight for him. But like Chen Liang, he wants to take advantage of him, but he is not too sure. Don’t worry, he will definitely take the first batch into the customs when the time comes,” Li Dachui said.
"You mean that Linghuye may suffer a major setback during the process of entering the customs?" Chang Jian asked. "If this is the case, I hope the Chang family will abandon Linghuye without hesitation and not tie themselves to their chariot and overturn it with them!" Li Dachui said.
"Why are you taking so much trouble to tell me this?" Chang Jian asked a little strangely.
"The Chang family is an important force outside the pass. We don't want to lose you." Li Dachui said: "Ling Huye wants to enter the pass to fight for the throne. This is because lard has deceived him. Unfortunately, no one can do it now. If we can't persuade him, he has gone too far on this road and can't turn back. Compared with Beiyuan, our power outside the pass is still very weak, and we don't want to miss every bit of power we can use. "
"If it's just because of this, you can come to me directly and say, why bother with such a big thing? Aren't you afraid that I will become angry because of this?"
"No? "How can we show our sincerity?" Li Dachui said: "Mr. Chang, is it easy for us to kill you today?"
"Yes!"
"Are we able to remain unnoticed? No one can cause trouble for us?"
"Indeed!"
"If we kill Mr. Chang, it is no exaggeration to say that "Half of the Chang family's power has been lost!" Li Dachui said with a smile: "The reason why the Chang family is proud of Xiao Xiaoguan, even the Lord of Zhou gave the Chang family some face, is because of the existence of you, the ninth-level Xuanyuan person. , if you go, although the Chang family still has an eighth-level Xuanyuan and several seventh-level Xuanyuan, without the support of the peak force, the confidence will be insufficient!"
Chang Jian was silent.
“Today we show you that we can kill you to weaken the power of the Chang family and also weaken the power of Linghuye, but we are unwilling to do this. We hope that one day we will join forces to deal with Bei Yuan, that's our enemy." Li Dachui said: "That's what we mean. We hope you can seriously consider our suggestions."
"The Linghu family and our Chang family have been married for three generations in the past twenty years." Chang Jian sighed: "It can be said that our Chang family's development to this point can be regarded as clinging to the Linghu family tree. If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached?"
"Now Chang is no longer a vine, but a vine. It's a big tree with deep roots." Li Dachui said: "As for the marriage with the Linghu family, what is this? Don't forget what the Li family and the Duanmu family were during the Yong Dynasty of the Qin Dynasty. Relationship? The Queen Mother back then was the direct daughter of the head of the Li family. There were countless royal princesses who married into the Li family. It’s common for women of the family to enter the palace. But did Li Duanmu hesitate at all?”
Chang Jian couldn’t help but laugh: “Li Duhu, you are really a good lobbyist!” >
"I'm not a good lobbyist. I'm just telling you the fact! Parents love their children and grandchildren deeply. Therefore, it is far-reaching. The Chang family thrives in the hands of Chang Gong and becomes a big tree. But if this big tree wants to become stronger and stronger, and its root system becomes more and more developed, it will require far-reaching plans by Chang Gong. "
Chang Jian murmured: "Don't put the eggs in a cage!"
"Yes, Mr. Chang, you might as well keep in touch with us in the future to get information from Chang. There is no ready-made road ahead of us. We need to explore it. We don't know where the main road is. Maybe we need to go on this road ourselves. Digging, in short, means walking and watching, but you can't go all the way to the dark side, you have to be ready to take the second road or the third road at any time, don't you think?"
Chang Jian thought for a long time, Finally he nodded.
Li Kaixin came over with a tray, looked at the two of them and said, "Master, Mr. Chang, please have tea!"
Chang Jian took the tea cup, looked at Li Kaixin and said: "Steward Li, why did you become Phoenix Lihuo? What is your relationship with the Demon Cult?"
Li Kaixin smiled and said: "I have nothing to do with the Demon Cult. As for why I did this, hehe , Mr. Chang is not on the same side with us now, but when you become one with us, you will naturally know why I became Phoenix Lihuo!”
After drinking this cup of tea, Chang Jian left.
Looking at Chang Jian's retreating figure, Xiao Changche gritted his teeth and said: "I still think it's best to kill!"
"Killing is just to let Linghu Ye There is one less master, and the Chang family will be more closely tied to the Linghu family. But if the Chang family finally surrenders to us, we will have a huge strength." Li Dachui stretched out his hand and grabbed Xiao Changche's face." Don't think about killing to solve the problem."
Li Kaixin, who was behind him, immediately turned around and slipped into the shed, pretending not to see it.
