Chapter 889: Father and Son
readx;
Relying on the mouth of the sea, a river rolls the waves into the sea, this is a river that has not been seen for thousands of years, but now it has become the busiest river in the world, the upstream workshops produce a large number of the best-selling goods in the South Seas and the hinterland of the Central Plains, and then these goods are carried down the river through a series of canopy boats, until the mouth of the sea, loaded into the port of the sea boats, these goods are dispersed.

There are two ways to transport goods, one is to use the carriage, the other is to use the river, the speed of the carriage is slow, and the cost is quite high, and the river is not only convenient, the cost is also small, the two are in comparison, the river is convenient.
It is said that news has already spread from the Yamen that this river will be widened this year, and the council has decided to spend 10 million taels of silver to build this river into a canal to meet the current serious problem of ships blocking the waterway.
Therefore, the price of land on this artery has soared, not only the workshop hopes to rely on the ferry along the river, but also some warehouses and trading houses hope to occupy a place here, if the Chu State is now the center of trade and maritime trade, then this river is the hub of this huge wealth, along the river, there are huge chimney workshops everywhere, there are countless magnificent commercial buildings, ships full of goods down the river in the waves, if you look down from the high-rise buildings along the coast, you will feel spectacular.
A man is standing on a tall building by the river, which is a five-story building, leaning on the railing, the vermilion red wall, and the wind blows the man's eyebrows very messy.
"Only by standing here, do you know how delicate the country is, sigh, sigh! This country actually fell into the hands of the Zhu family. ”
The voice of the speaker was neither high nor low, every sentence was a great rebellion, his eyes were blazing, his eyes were shining, and in the depths of his deep eyes, there seemed to be a nameless fire burning, with monstrous enthusiasm.
On his finger, he was wearing a ring, the quaint ring was dull, and his dry hand was the same, casually on the railing, although it was careless, but the green tendons burst out, but it made people understand that this apparent casualness was just fake, this hand seemed to be venting his energy, or deliberately suppressing his own hard to hide**.
Standing behind this man, there was an old man with a white face and no beard, he looked at the man's back with interest, and said, "Yes, princes are all dung, their heirs can be princes, why can't we?" He looked at the man deeply: "The son of the sect leader is now unspeakably expensive, but he has got what he wants." ”
The man leaning on the railing trembled slightly, and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? ”
The man smiled sadly and said, "Could it be that the villain is wrong?" The brothers followed the sect leader with a sea of swords and fires, I don't know how many people sacrificed their lives, have the brothers ever complained? But what? Hmph, but there is a person, one person obstructs our great cause, and he has been in trouble with us again and again, and I don't know how many brothers have broken into his hands, and a few years ago, the brothers wanted to get rid of him, but the sect leader hesitated, and even blocked him in every way, what is happening now? Now this person is rich and unspeakably expensive, there are hundreds of guards in and out, the sect members can't touch him, but the sect leader is hesitant, the brothers have great ambitions, and they all want to make a career, but now the sect leader is asking us to run some business industries, and we no longer ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Is there a place where I can't live with the brothers? ”
When the old man spoke, his face was full of dissatisfaction and resentment, this time the attack must have been premeditated, so he seemed calm and relaxed, and then said: "Once a thief, he will be a thief for life, everyone is a thief, but we are big thieves, if we can steal the country, who can say that the prince thinks right and wrong?" But now? Now the brothers are hiding in the province and hiding their identities at night, like lost dogs, but has the sect leader ever thought that the brothers' hopes have been completely lost, and the sect leader only cares about family affection, doesn't he care about us old brothers? Now, please give an explanation to the brothers, if you can stop the precipice, we will naturally be loyal to the master, but if you ...... If only ......"
The old man's face became extremely calm, and a trace of murder shot out of his eyes.
He was justified and had reason to be resentful.
The person leaning on the railing suddenly turned around, this is a face full of wrinkles, his face is a little ruddy, but he is not young, the thick eyebrows and the arc of his face, you can vaguely see his youthful demeanor, but the years are not forgiving, everything has been reduced to mediocrity, and it looks plain in the pile of people.
It's just that his eyes, those bright and sharp eyes, have an awe-inspiring luster, and his eyes fall on the old man, and the old man can't help but take a step back, his Adam's apple rolls, and he doesn't dare to say any more. The words that had been prepared for a long time were all blocked in his throat, and his face looked ugly.
"So to speak! Was that robbery really done by you privately? ”
The man stared at the old man and asked word by word.
The old man took a step back again, his eyes didn't dare to touch the other party's eyes, his shoulders trembled slightly, he suddenly found that he still misestimated his opponent, or that he was too serious, his knees were a little weak, but he was still struggling to support, his face was extremely ugly, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "So what?" Since the sect leader cares about family affection, but the sect leader must not forget, what the old sect leader said when he was dying, he said, the Zhu family has been repeated, usurped the country that should have belonged to King Xiaoming, we don't take revenge, why do we stand between heaven and earth, he Zhu can sit on the country, we can also ......"
The man sneered, with disdain in his smile: "You want to sit down so much, then go and sit down, why do you need to let the brothers die for you?" ”
The old man's face changed suddenly: "I don't mean that, the people in the sect all expect the sect leader to sit in this country to pay for the shame of being called Mingjiao, but ......" The old man paused, and suddenly said: "But now the brothers in the sect have changed their minds, the heir of the sect leader is now a vassal king, sitting in the rich land of Lianzhou, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and strong financial resources, so this time, the brothers made an initiative without authorization, and they are determined to support the young sect leader as the emperor!" ”
"But you have a good plan, and you want to use him to accomplish your great cause." A sneer crossed the man's face.
The old man said: "He is the young sect leader, so naturally he should make a modest contribution to the great cause of restoring the country, besides...... As long as his enthronement ceremony is over, even if he doesn't want to follow us, he won't be a ......."
The person leaning on the railing glanced at the old man playfully, and said lightly: "Really? In this way, the old man still underestimated you, I didn't expect you to be so cautious in doing things, but you were so cautious that even the old man hid it, it seems that you really don't die in the heart of the Yellow River this time. ”
He faced the strong wind and sighed: "That's it, do what you want to do, but don't forget, don't take some things for granted, your carving insect skills, may only bury you, the old man has said everything that should be said over the years, and what can be done has been done, you are unwilling to stop the precipice, and the old man can only be dragged by you to the black." He rolled his throat and said, "But there is one thing you remember, he is my son, don't hurt him, if anyone dares to touch a single hair of him, don't blame the old man for being ruthless." ”
His hand rested on the railing, and when he said the word ruthless, his tone was like this cold wind, without the slightest emotion.
The old man looked at his back in awe, swallowed his saliva, then nodded, turned around and left.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Half an hour later, in a warehouse, the faint lights were lit, the empty warehouse was not stacked with goods, but there was still a heavy smell here, the old man squinted, several people had been waiting here for a long time, everyone saw the old man appear, and fell to the ground: "The king protects the law......"
A kind smile appeared on the cold face of the Wang Protector, he walked in front of everyone step by step, raised his hand weakly, and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, how about it, is everything already in order?" ”
One of them said: "Protect the Dharma, more than 700 brothers are already on standby, as long as the Dharma Protector gives an order, ......" This person made a gesture of wiping his neck, and said: "You can do it." ”
Another said: "The boats are ready to scuttle and block the river at any time." ”
"Okay, good ......," the Protector laughed.
The person who said that the ship was preparing before couldn't help but say cautiously: "Protector, what did the master of the sect say?" ”
At the mention of the word Zhangjiao, the body of the Wang Protector shook slightly, and a trace of fear passed through his eyes, but this complicated look quickly disappeared, and then he said with a smile: "The Zhangjiao has already said, if this matter can be successful, the brothers should naturally do it hard, and now the arrow is on the bow, it is impossible not to send it, the young sect master is a vassal king, holding 100,000 military horses, if it can be used by us, this great cause of the revival of the religion, I am afraid that it will no longer be the dream of Huangliang." ”
When everyone heard this, they all showed joy, and said one by one: "This is very good, although the young sect master has killed so many of our brothers, but he doesn't dare to say anything, he just doesn't know, as long as he is willing to get lost and know his way, the brothers will recommend him to sit in the world." ”
Wang Protector laughed dryly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
