A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1042

[Chapter 1032 The end of the road]

At this time, Jiang Changfeng also knew that something was wrong. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: “Brother, what if they kill them? Let’s fight him to death. There are weapons on the island, and there are hundreds of people!”

“Those people can work hard with the officers and soldiers?” Jiang Mantian sighed: “We have only a few dozen people who can really work hard. Others have hatred for us. In times of crisis, how can you help us? Knowing why Haifeng Island fell so quickly, it is precisely because many people immediately turned against the soldiers after seeing the officers and soldiers!” At this time, he knew that the situation was over, and his face was ashes.

Jiang Changfeng drew his sword and sneered: “What if there are only a few dozen people? Killing one is enough, killing two to earn one. Brother, we and the people of Chu are at odds. In order to make a comeback, we killed our own family. People just want to get revenge one day, and now that we have reached this point, there is nothing to say, the big deal is death.” Xiangshen said to everyone: “Retreat into the cave, let’s fight with them to the end.”

At this time, the sound of the horn came from the sea. The sound of the horn came from the southwest at first, but soon there was also the sound of the horn from other directions. Jiang Mantian did not look at it. There are also ships coming this way.

Jiang Changfeng turned around and was about to leave, his arms tightened, he turned his head to look, but Jiang Mantian pulled him back and frowned, “Brother, you?”

“Changfeng, there is no need to struggle anymore.” Jiang Mantian said lightly: “We are already exhausted, so why bother?”

Jiang Changfeng was also pale, and sighed: “Could it be that our decades of hard work are ruined? Is this the end of the Jiang family?”

Jiang Mantian’s face sank, and he sneered: “We are dead, it does not mean that the Jiang family is over. Don’t forget, Suiyun is still alive, as long as one of our Jiang family is alive, it is not over.”

Jiang Changfeng sighed up to the sky: “I only hope that Suiyun will be able to work hard, and one day he will be able to avenge us and revive the Jiang family in the East China Sea.”

The warship of the East Sea Division dashed through the waves. Under the watchful eyes of Jiang Mantian and others, it stopped at a distance from the coast. The warship was different from ordinary boats and had to have a deep draft. If it was too close to the shore, it would easily run aground. , and there may be reefs covered underwater near such islands, and accidentally hitting the reefs can easily cause great damage to ships.

The warship stopped, and a small boat was quickly lowered from both sides of the warship. The sailors jumped on the boat, and soon approached the shore. The soldiers jumped from the boat and quickly surrounded them.

At this time, Jiang Mantian was tidying up his clothes, his expression was calm, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and he did not pay attention to those soldiers. After hundreds of sailors landed, they held spears and knives, and surrounded Jiang Mantian and a group of people. , Kong Sheng and others already knew that it was the end of the road, but they held the knife in their hands and guarded Jiang Mantian.

Jiang Mantian didn’t look sideways, stared straight at the coast, and finally saw Qi Ning aboard a small boat.

Qi Ning was dressed in brocade clothes, and after landing, it was as if he was on the island to play, strolling in the courtyard, surrounded by a group of guards such as Wu Dalin, Qi Ning looked around, and said something to Wu Dalin and others, chatting and laughing.

When Qi Ning approached, the sailors who surrounded Jiang Mantian and others immediately gave way. Qi Ning carried his hands on his back and slowly stepped forward from the crowd.

Jiang Mantian smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, “Jinyihou, Jiang has been waiting here for a long time.”

Qi Ning didn’t return the salute, but just said with a smile: “I know that Mr. Jiang doesn’t welcome me here. It’s just my duty. I have to go to the island to take a look. I also ask Mr. Jiang not to blame me.”

“The surname is Qi, you don’t have to be there.” Jiang Changfeng behind Jiang Mantian sneered: “The winner is the king and the loser. We don’t have anything to say.”

Qi Ning sighed: “Mr. Jiang turned this place into a secret weapons factory. To be honest, I really admire it. Over the years, Mr. Jiang has kept a large number of weapons under the watchful eyes of the East Sea Division. and wealth, neither the local government nor the imperial court knew anything about it,

I always thought that Mr. Jiang was an honest businessman, but you really amazed me with your subtlety.

”

“It can make Jin Yihou marvel, it seems that Jiang did a good job.” Jiang Mantian smiled slightly and said, “It’s just that Jin Yihou is really not interesting, and I didn’t let me finish this good show.”

“Mr. Jiang’s good show should be referring to joining forces with Shen Liangqiu to stand on their own in the East China Sea, right?” Qi Ning smiled lightly: “To tell the truth, if it wasn’t for the sudden murder of the Governor of Tantai, maybe you guys could have really surprised the court.”

“Tantai Zhilin was killed for one reason, and another important reason, because you appeared in the East China Sea.” Jiang Mantian seemed unusually calm at this time: “If it were someone else, Shen Liangqiu’s skills might not necessarily be good. can be found.”

Qi Ning laughed and said, “I’ll take Mr. Jiang as a compliment to me.” He raised his hand and said, “There are too many guns here, which makes people uncomfortable. I’m not happy.” He pointed to the coast and smiled: “Facing the sea, the spring flowers are blooming, would Mr. Jiang be willing to watch the sea with Ben Hou?”

Everyone around was a little surprised, thinking that now that swords and guns are facing each other, what Xiaohou should do is to order Jiang Mantian and others to be taken down in one fell swoop. At this time, he even invited Jiang Mantian to watch the sea. what medicine, but who would dare to say more.

Jiang Mantian was also a little surprised, but still nodded with a smile: “Jinyi has such an elegant look, and Jiang must accompany him.” He raised his hand, rolled up his sleeves, carried his hands on his back, and walked over lightly.

Qi Ning turned to walk towards the coast, Wu Dalin said worriedly, “Master Hou!”

Qi Ning gave him a slight smile without saying much, and walked straight to the coast, followed by Jiang Mantian. The two walked a few steps to the seaside. At this time, the rising sun had already risen from the eastern horizon, and the rays of the rising sun were shining. Above the sea, the waves were sparkling, and a gust of sea breeze was blowing head-on, with the smell of the sea, Qi Ning puffed out his nose and sniffed, showing an expression of enjoyment, Jiang Mantian walked to Qi Ning’s side, lagging behind. One step, he glanced at Qi Ning, and before he spoke, Qi Ning had already said, “The Jiang family in the East China Sea is a century-old family that thrives in the East China Sea. As the head of the clan, Mr. Jiang’s burden should be very heavy, right?”

Jiang Mantian’s eyes showed a strange look, but he still said indifferently: “Jinyi Hou is responsible for the rise and fall of Jinyi Qi’s family, and the burden on his shoulders seems to be heavier than mine.”

“Well said.” Qi Ning said with a smile: “It’s hard to be bored talking to an interesting person like Mr. Jiang.”

Jiang Mantian looked at this young man who was less than twenty years old, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. He was over fifty years old, he had experienced vicissitudes of life, and his mind was deep. It was hard to imagine being with a young man less than twenty years old. Dialogue in this situation.

Moreover, this young man is mature and prudent, and his tone of speech is not at all immature.

“The vast ocean is boundless. It’s calm and calm at the moment, but there will be turbulent waves at any time.” Qi Ning looked at the sea and said slowly, “Whether it’s calm or turbulent, there are traces to follow, and there is a saying that goes well, it’s called no wind, no waves, and the waves roll. There’s always a way to go.”

Jiang Mantian felt that he was a little confused, but he asked calmly, “What does Jin Yihou want to say?”

“The Jiang family has been breeding in the East China Sea for a hundred years. If the current era is destroyed, I think Mr. Jiang himself will feel a pity.” Qi Ning sighed: “The third master of the Jiang family led the fleet south, but they couldn’t go far, as long as they noticed the East China Sea. The teacher retreats and no longer follows and chases, so it won’t be long before they stop to replenish.” Turning to look at Jiang Mantian, he asked with a smile, “Mr. Jiang, where do you think they will replenish?”

Jiang Mantian’s heart sank.

“Except Haifeng Island, this is the island.” Qi Ning said with a smile: “Jiang Sanshao would not have thought that these two islands would be controlled by officers and soldiers in a short period of time. If they want to supplement their supplies, they can only go to these two islands. When the island returns, Mr. Jiang should have heard the story of waiting for the rabbit.”

Jiang Mantian said with a sneer: “It seems that I can’t control much about the things that follow.”

“You are wrong.” Qi Ning turned around and faced Jiang Mantian: “The Jiang family can survive, you are a businessman, I can make a deal with you, and I believe you must know how to choose.”

“trade?”

“This time your Jiang family’s rebellion will involve a lot of people.” Qi Ning sighed: “Whether it’s your Jiang family or the Lu Chen family, once you are involved in rebellion, you will always pay a huge price. You are more than me. It is clear that in order to stabilize the situation in the East China Sea, the imperial court agreed to the request of the Golden Swordsman, and opened up to the three of you. It was nothing more than to use the three of you to stabilize the situation in the East China Sea. The court did it.”

Jiang Man sneered every day and said, “Flying birds are gone, good bows are hidden!”

“Are you lamenting yourself?” Qi Ning laughed loudly: “The birds are not exhausted, and you are not a good bow. Of course the court used you back then, but you also used the court. You can use the court to After lingering on, he even used the gift of the imperial court to you back then to secretly accumulate strength, intending to make a comeback!”

“The East China Sea is not the land of Chu State.” Jiang Mantian sneered: “We will take everything that we took away, and we will naturally take it back.”

“Justice doesn’t depend on people’s hearts, right or wrong depends on strength.” Qi Ning stared into Jiang Mantian’s eyes: “Mr. Jiang has been through the vicissitudes of life, and this truth should be clearer than me. Chu’s fist is hard, you have no strength to resist, you can only survive. Chu. For so many years, the country has not been at ease with the East China Sea. It is simply because of the existence of your three major families. You are deeply rooted in the East China Sea. Unless you are uprooted, the imperial court will only be wary of the East China Sea. But you took the initiative to surrender back then, and You are very positive, and now the world is undecided, if you attack you easily, it will inevitably be criticized by the world!”

Jiang Mantian sighed, “You really don’t look like a child.”

“Now that you jump out on your own, do you think the imperial court will miss such an opportunity?” Qi Ning sighed, “Before you made this big gamble, you must have known that once you lose, the corpses will pile up into mountains and blood will flow into rivers!”

“Jinyihou, what exactly is the transaction you’re talking about, I forgive Jiang for being stupid, I haven’t understood it yet!”

“It’s very simple, I’ll give you a chance, so that you don’t have to see the result of a mountain of corpses.” Qi Ning stared at Jiang Mantian, his eyes were deep, but very sharp: “Although you lost this bet, I can give it to you. The last ray of hope, so that you don’t lose everything!”
