A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1037

[Chapter 1027 Chess Game]

As the sun went down, Jiang Mantian was already on Haifeng Island.

On the west side of Jieshi, standing on the edge of the cliff overlooking the west, Jiang Mantian’s expression is still calm and calm, but deep in his eyes, there is a chill that cannot be concealed.

There were slight footsteps behind him, and Jiang Mantian did not turn his head. Soon a voice came from behind him: “Sir, I just got the news that Shen Liangqiu is dead, and his head is in the Donghai Naval Camp.”

Jiang Mantian’s eyes twitched slightly, but his voice was still unusually calm, and said lightly: “The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the ant’s nest, and our years of hard work were destroyed by Shen Liangqiu.” Shaking his head, he sighed softly: “It’s stupid, stupid. .”

“He’s not too stupid, it’s just that his opponent is too smart.” The man behind him said in a shrill voice, not without sarcasm: “Did you not expect such an outcome, sir.”

Jiang Mantian turned his head, but the ghost king was standing behind him.

The ghost king was short in stature, with a snow-white baby-face mask on his face.

Behind the ghost king, there was another person who followed. He was tall and had a mask like a laughing Buddha on his face. At this time, he took two steps forward, also looking towards the coast, and said softly, “Mr. Jiang, Qin Yuege escaped with injuries. The East Sea Master will definitely be notified, they get the news, and it stands to reason that they should launch a pursuit immediately, but it is getting dark, and the water ghosts sent out have not yet received any news, which is a bit strange.”

“Master Lu, it’s not strange to say that it’s strange.” The ghost king gave a strange smile: “Shen Liangqiu is dead, and the East Sea Division is headless. Xin Ci has been away from the East China Sea for more than ten years, even if he takes over the naval division’s military power and needs to mobilize the warship, I’m afraid it will take some time.”

Lu Shanghe looked at Jiang Mantian and asked, “Mr. Jiang, do you think the sailors will really pursue the direction of Nanyang?”

Jiang Mantian didn’t answer easily, he pondered for a while before nodding and said: “The Jiang family has always traded with Nanyang, and is very familiar with the routes to Nanyang. The navy is naturally aware of this, and they will definitely think that Jiang is only going to Nanyang. A road. (The fastest update of the uc book alliance)”

“It will take several months to go to Nanyang.” The ghost king said: “Jiang Sanye took the fleet to the south, but can the supplies on board support them to reach Nanyang?”

“The matter is rushed. Although the fleet has made preparations, the supplies have not been fully replenished.” Jiang Mantian frowned slightly: “The supplies on board will last for more than 20 days at most.”

Lu Shanghe said: “The navy’s warships are not much faster than the merchant ships, and they are not familiar with the routes of the South China Sea. The sea is vast. As long as they avoid the offshore waters, the navy will not really keep chasing the South China Sea.”

“The navy nailed the target on that fleet, and I happened to use that fleet as a cover.” Jiang Mantian sneered: “As long as the navy cannot find the fleet, he will think that we have gone to the South China Sea. It won’t really keep chasing. When the navy retreats, the fleet will naturally go to the warehouse to replenish supplies.”

Lu Shanghe sighed: “Mr. Jiang took precautions and hoarded a lot of materials in the warehouse. Now it seems very clever.” Shaking his head, he sighed again: “It’s a pity that Mr. Jiang still despised Qi Ning after all.”

Jiang Mantian said: “I overestimated Shen Liangqiu and underestimated Qi Ning, and I didn’t expect Qi Ning to find out the truth so quickly. As long as Tantai Zhilin’s body can be buried at sea today, all problems will be solved, but no Thinking of this last step, it’s all in vain.”

Lu Shanghe sneered: “Mr. Jiang, although Qi Ning is young, he is very cunning. If it wasn’t for him, Lu had already controlled the beggar gang, and it was because of him that he stepped in, causing Lu to fall short!”

The ghost king carried his hands on his back and his voice was shrill: “As far as I know, when this Jinyihou was still the prince, his mind was slow, and he seldom went out and had very little experience. Why is the current Jinyihou completely different from what I know. ?”

“This news is not fake.” Jiang Mantian said, “When Qi Ning was still the heir of Jinyi,

It is indeed dull-headed, like an idiot, many people in the capital are aware of this.

(The fastest update by uc book alliance) The change of this person is that after an accident happened, I heard that this person was kidnapped out of the capital. Many people thought that he would definitely die, but he was accidentally found by the people of Jinyi Houfu and came back. After that, the Prince of Jinyi became completely different from before, like two different people.

”

The Ghost King thoughtfully said softly: “If you say that your mind suddenly becomes clear after being frightened, that makes sense. But an idiot-like young man with no experience, an accident happened, but he became cunning and cunning. , even the owner of Lu Zhuang and Mr. Jiang have been planted in his hands one after another, this is not a simple matter.”

“What does the ghost king mean?”

“You said just now that after the accident, Prince Jinyi is completely different!” The Ghost King pondered for a moment before saying, “Isn’t this Prince Jinyi really another person?”

Jiang Mantian was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said, “That’s not true. Does the ghost king want to say that someone Li Daitao is stiff and pretends to be Jinyihou? People in Jinyihou’s mansion are not stupid. Not until today. The Jinyi Qi family is an aristocratic family in the Chu country. If this person is not the prince of Jinyi, how could the Jinyi Qi family allow him to inherit the title?”

Lu Shanghe also said: “Ghost King, what Mr. Jiang said is very true, Li Daitaozong is impersonated, there is almost no possibility.” After a little pondering, he said: “I just don’t know if there is another expert behind this person.”

“Master’s advice?”

“Don’t forget the ghost king, the Jinyi Qi family is not an ordinary family.” Lu Shanghe sneered: “Beigong Liancheng, one of the five great masters in the world, came from the Jinyi Qi family.”

The ghost king’s voice was slightly surprised: “Could it be that Beigong Liancheng has always been by his side?”

Jiang Mantian also showed a look of astonishment, and after a little thought, he said: “Ghost King, Zhuangzhu Lu’s guess is not necessarily unreasonable. If Bei Gong Liancheng has been hiding behind Qi Ning, then all this can really be explained. Beigong Liancheng’s martial arts have entered the realm of transformation, and the ghosts and ghosts are unpredictable. Qi Ning’s mind was dull at the beginning. If Beigong Liancheng shot, it may not be able to enlighten Qi Ning. Qi Ning has no experience, but this time it has repeatedly ruined major events such as me. If Beigong Liancheng was behind him, Qi Ning would naturally know how to deal with it.”

“Do you think Beigong Liancheng has been pointing at Qi Ning from behind?” The Ghost King chuckled and said lightly, “Beigong Liancheng has an indifferent temperament, and for him, the biggest temptation is only kendo, he doesn’t care about anything except the sword in his hand. People, don’t care about anything, how can they hide behind Qi Ning and point.” He shook his head and said, “Perhaps there is someone else behind Qi Ning, but it is definitely not Bei Gong Liancheng.”

Lu Shanghe and Jiang Mantian looked at each other before asking, “Mr. Jiang, your plans over the years have been undone, what should you do next?”

“It’s all gone in one day?” Jiang Mantian said with a faint smile: “Master Lu is serious. It’s just that things are not as convenient as before, and the foundation has not been shaken. We have enough strength to launch a counterattack.”

“Oh?” Lu Shanghe chuckled lightly and said, “I would like to hear the details!”

“Mr. Jiang knows what Lu Zhuangzhu means.” Jiang Mantian looked into Lu Shanghe’s eyes under the mask: “Lu Zhuangzhu feels that he has lost the East China Sea. From now on, the trade at sea will be cut off. Without the continuous supply of silver, it will be difficult to achieve. event.”

Lu Shanghe sighed: “Mr. Jiang, with all due respect, if maritime trade is cut off, our biggest source of money will be cut off, and the great event of the hidden master will be hit as a result.”

“Mr. Lu’s words made a lot of sense a few years ago.” Jiang Mantian said: “But now, it’s a bit inappropriate. The Chu Kingdom’s Northern Expedition has an arrow on the string, and it has to be sent, and it won’t last long, as long as Chu If the army marches north, then all the problems we face will be solved.”

The ghost king laughed strangely and said, “Master Lu, Mr. Jiang’s words are not wrong. As long as the Chu army goes north as we think, the East China Sea will still be in our hands.”

“Oh?”

“You came to the East China Sea not long ago, but you should know that Mr. Jiang has been engaged in maritime trade for so many years.” The ghost king said with a strange smile: “Many people know that the East China Sea Jiang family is the number one richest man in the East China Sea, but they I don’t know. If you really want to talk about it, the wealth in Mr. Jiang’s hands is probably more than the silver in the Chu state’s treasury. Money can make a ghost run the mill. Over the years, Mr. Jiang has been worrying about how to spend some money, so every year There will be a lot of money to buy people’s hearts.”

Lu Shanghe sighed: “Silver is indeed a good thing.”

“Mr. Jiang not only has wealth that can rival the country, but also has a wise mind that understands human nature.” The ghost king said with a smile: “It was with Mr. Shen’s mouth that Shen Liangqiu came to us and became a One of our chess pieces. Shen Liangqiu’s death is nothing more than a chess piece taken by his opponent. The chess game is still there, and it is unknown who will kill the deer.”

Jiang Mantian smiled indifferently and said, “Money can make a ghost run the mill, and the ghost king said it well. Zhuangzhu Lu, Tantai Zhilin’s death, although it did cause us to face the current predicament, it is not a big deal. Bad thing. Tantai Huang is too old and Tantai Zhilin is dead. The Tantai family’s control over the navy will no longer be the same as before. Although Xin Ci temporarily leads the navy, Jiang can guarantee that the current water The officers and soldiers are already panicking.”

“That’s true.” Lu Shanghe chuckled lightly: “For decades, the Donghai Navy has been in the hands of the Tantai family, but now the commander of the navy does not have the surname of Tantai, which will naturally make people who are used to the Tantai family as the commander in chief. The navy officers and soldiers are flustered. Although Xin Ci is a famous general from the navy, he has been away from the navy for more than ten years, and it is a fool’s dream to convince the navy officers and soldiers in a short period of time.”

“So once the court of Chu State ordered Xin Ci to command the navy, then Xin Ci will definitely rectify the navy.” Jiang Mantian said slowly: “There are many Shen Liangqiu’s direct descendants in the navy, and these people must have guessed it in their hearts. Once the court officially orders Xin Ci to become the Grand Governor, Xin Ci will definitely stab them. With a big sword hanging over their heads, of course these people will not be slaughtered. If Xin Ci is given enough time, he may really be able to take it easy. , cut the meat with a knife, and rectify the navy a little bit, but the Chu army has not enough time for Xin Ci for the northern expedition, and this is exactly where we can use it.” Speaking of this, there was a calm smile on the corners of his lips: “Silver is really a good thing sometimes. It can make many people obey orders and become pawns in our chess game!”
