Pawn Crossing the River

Thang Long Mansion, the mansion of the Wang family.

Wang Jiaohe has a large study room, or library, here. Several rooms are connected, and the first and second floors are connected. The area is very large. Entering it, you will see bookshelves on all sides, and the bookshelves are connected to the dome, which is very shocking.

Wang Jiaohe has been in the study room today. He has not dealt with official duties or read books. He just stared at the books in the room.

Of course, these books are not for decoration. Wang Jiaohe has read most of them, at least at a glance, and he can see various valuable bookmarks between the pages.

In the past, Wang Jiaohe always regarded reading as a pleasure. In addition, he preferred to be quiet in private, so no one could enter this study, not even Wang Jiaoying and Wang Jiaoyan.

The only exception is Wang Danqing.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Is it Qing'er?" Wang Jiaohe's eyes were still looking at the surrounding bookshelves: "Come in."

The door of the study room opened, a ray of skylight shone in, and the dust in the air was clearly visible and flying freely.

Wang Danqing walked in, called "Father" and stopped talking.

The father and son fell into silence.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Jiaohe looked away from the bookshelf and fell on his son.

The most intimate relationship in the world cannot escape the word blood.

Although this son made Wang Jiaohe a lot of dissatisfied. He did not follow the right path, indulged in depravity, and once made him angry. But when it came to the most critical moment, it had to be father and son.

For the first time, Wang Jiaohe's eyes showed some affection: "Sit down."

Wang Danqing responded and sat down opposite Wang Jiaohe. At this time, Wang Danqing's expression was a bit anxious, and he no longer had the usual madman attitude, nor the laziness.

Only when the wind is fierce and the rain is fierce can you see your true temperament.

But at this time, Wang Jiaohe no longer had the intention to educate his son, and said softly: "You have heard about the matter in Lion City, right? Is it because of this matter that you came to see me in a hurry?"

"I heard something from my friends in Tianting, but I don't know whether it's true or not." Wang Danqing said in a low voice.

Wang Jiaohe leaned back in his chair and looked at his son across the table: "It's true that Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu raided Longlin Island and seriously injured Wu Guangbi. It's also true that Patriarch Jin Gong and Jiang Dazhen took action on their own. "

Wang Danqing trembled slightly: "What my father means is that the 'Tian Ting' has been defeated and will not come forward again in a short time."

Wang Jiaohe sighed: "Three flowers gather at the top, and five qi go towards the yuan. It is said that Wu Guangbi was seriously injured. The five qi correspond to the five internal organs, and he lost two of his five internal organs. If he does not take a good rest, the pseudo-immortal cultivation will be difficult to maintain. It will be a long time in the future. I'm afraid I won't be able to see this leader for a while. If Wu Guangbi is like this, what will happen to others?"

Wang Danqing whispered: "They will be afraid and fall to Qi Xuansu like Xie Jiaofeng. After all, Qi Xuansu has made it clear to Nanyang that he will destroy anyone who blocks his way, and the pseudo-immortal is no exception. It is even more terrifying. Unfortunately, even if the Patriarch Jin Gong took action, he could not stop Qi Xuansu and was suppressed by Jiang Dazhen. Even if Wu Guangbi had the Patriarch Jin Gong as his backer, those who did not have to think carefully about the direction of the wind. Completely changed."

Wang Jiaohe said: "The direction of the wind has changed, and the wallflowers have fallen to the other side. This wind does not come from Qi Xuansu, but from Jinque. Without Jiang Hedao's support, Qi Xuansu would not dare to take action against Wu Guangbi. With Jiang Hedao's support, Qi Xuansu would not dare to attack Wu Guangbi." , Qi Xuansu dared to roam Nanyang without any scruples."

Wang Danqing took a deep breath: "First it was Lan Hexu, and then Jiang Hedao. These great masters of Pingzhang prefer Qi Xuansu so much? Why on earth?"

Wang Jiaohe said: "It's not that Qi Xuansu is lovable, and it's not that Qi Xuansu alone can shake Nanyang, but there are people behind Qi Xuansu who want to shake Nanyang. The Wang family has been in Nanyang for so many years and has such great power. The people we kill are the ones we offend. There are countless people who are blocking our way. They have long wanted to put us to death. But in the past, there was no one to protect us, but now there is no one to protect us. To put it bluntly, it was my mistake. If you make a wrong move in judging the situation, you will lose everything.”

Wang Danqing was startled. He looked at Wang Jiaohe suddenly and moved his lips a few times: "Losing everything? It's not like that, right? The incestuous love for so many years is nothing more than us giving up Borneo and giving up the power in our hands. , it’s still possible to be a rich man.”

Wang Jiaohe smiled, whether it was a bitter smile or a mockery of his son's naivety: "You can be regarded as a rich man. Even if Qi Xuansu now swears to Nanyang and says he will let us go, do you dare to believe it? How can there be such a good thing in the world? This is a matter of life and death. To fight, one must not break one’s skin and maintain a superficial harmony. If one does, one must eliminate the root cause and leave no consequences.”

Hearing this, Wang Danqing had a stern look on his face: "Since they are not merciful, then we simply let Nanyang stir up chaos, light fires everywhere, and let Qi Xuansu busy putting out the fire. In the past, I have always been reluctant to let go of these bottles and jars Cans, I might as well give up on them all now, as long as I wait until the Fenglinzhou war is over..."

Wang Jiaohe interrupted softly: "Did you know that yesterday evening, a flying boat from Fenglinzhou landed in Lion City, and Qi Xuansu personally greeted it."

Wang Danqing was shocked. All his thoughts were on Wu Guangbi's matter, but he knew nothing about it, and the words "Fenglinzhou" gave him a bad premonition.

Wang Jiaohe continued: "Do you know who is on the flying boat? Looking at you, you don't know. Then let me tell you, the person on the flying boat is Li Changge. You didn't expect it, right? You always feel that Qi Xuansu and Li The family is like fire and water, just like the relationship between you and Qi Xuansu, so the Li family will definitely be on our side. After all, the enemy of our enemy is our friend, but Qi Xuansu can invite Li Changge and plan in the secret room if he lets you. If you fight Qi Xuansu by yourself, I'm afraid you won't even know how to die. You don't need to say that you will be a rich man if you take a step back. At that time, Qi Xuansu will not have to come forward, and the two jailers will make it impossible for you to survive. "

These words were very harsh, but Wang Danqing could no longer care about his anger and looked at his father in shock: "How could the Li family do this? How could the Li family do this...how did father know?"

"I know everything you know, and I also know what you don't know." Wang Jiaohe showed the majesty that a real person in charge and a real person in charge of the government should have in his understatement, "After all, I am the leader of the Borneo Taoist House. Mr. Fu, the real person in charge of the government for nearly twenty years. I have worked hard to manage Nanyang for decades. How can I not know what is going on here? Especially at this time, people have put a knife on our necks. Shen, even if you take five steps of blood, I don’t dare not know the outcome.”

Wang Jiaohe has spent most of his life in Nanyang. The real person in charge of the palace and the chief deputy palace master have been together for decades. Coupled with the original power of the Wang family, Wang Jiaohe's control over Nanyang is far beyond that of others. comparable.

In front of Wang Jiaohe at this time, Wang Danqing seemed to have returned to the childhood days when he looked up to his father and relied on him for everything. He looked at his father with admiration: "Dad, what is Li Changge going to do, what is Qi Xuansu going to do, you... do you know?"

Wang Jiaohe asked back: "Not to mention what they want to do, do you know why Li Changge traveled thousands of miles from Fenglinzhou to Borneo to meet Qi Xuansu?"

Wang Danqing couldn't think clearly for a moment, so he could only look at his father blankly.

Wang Jiaohe emphasized his tone: "Then I'll tell you, it's because Qi Xuansu captured Li Tianzhen. Qi Xuansu raided Longlin Island and seriously injured Wu Guangbi, but the more important thing is that he captured Li Tianzhen."

Wang Danqing reacted immediately: "Qi Xuansu threatened the Li family with Li Tianzhen, so the Li family compromised!?"

The anger in Wang Jiaohe's heart that he hated the rotten wood that could not be carved came up again, but it was really difficult to attack at this time, so he had to suppress it, even out his breath, and said calmly: "Who dares to threaten the Li family? At least Qi Xuansu I don’t dare yet. The Li family has always been strong and domineering, and they are the least able to be coerced. If Qi Xuansu really dares to threaten the Li family with Li Tianzhen, the Li family will dare to fight to the death. They will give up Li Tianzhen and teach Qi Xuansu a lesson. Instead, they will push the Li family away. On our side. To put it bluntly, the Li family is willing to take advantage of others. At this time, we can see how clever Qi Xuansu is. He did not threaten the Li family, but used a borrowed knife to kill people. "

Wang Danqing was startled: "Kill someone with a borrowed knife? Li Changge...Qi Xuansu and Qingwei Zhenren have joined forces!?"

Wang Jiaohe said: "You don't have to know the whole story. As long as you grasp a few key points and think about it for a moment, you can understand what happened. We know that Qi Xuansu captured Li Tianzhen, and we also know that Li Changge came to Lion City the next day. We also know that Master Qingwei was at odds with many elders of the Li family and had many conflicts. So Qi Xuansu saw this and directly handed over Li Tianzhen to Master Qingwei as a favor. The real person reciprocated the favor and sold us to Qi Xuansu. He sent Li Changge here, which is an attitude in itself. "

Wang Danqing didn't know what to say for a moment, and his teeth trembled: "Qi Xuansu, Qi Xuansu has such evil intentions."

Wang Jiaohe continued: "Did you know that Yao Pei took advantage of the deputy palace master's discussion and kidnapped your uncle's secretary Lin Qingcheng? Now that Li Changge, Yao Pei, and Zhang Yuelu have gathered in the Lion City, all the three Taoist disciples have become Qi Xuansu "What does this mean?"

Wang Danqing couldn't help but shuddered: "It means, it means that the three families of Zhang, Li and Yao have reached an agreement to put us to death."

Wang Jiaohe whispered: "I have something for you to do."

Wang Danqing looked at his father.

Wang Jiaohe said: "Go to the Lion City yourself."

Wang Danqing was stunned: "Father wants me to go to Lion City to take charge of the overall situation?"

Wang Jiaohe emphasized his tone: "You don't need to take charge of the overall situation. You only need to do one thing. Ask to see Qi Xuansu and then apologize."

Wang Danqing reluctantly said: "Father, didn't you just say that this is a life-and-death struggle? Even if I apologize, Qi Xuansu will not let us go, and those people behind him..."

"Listen!" Wang Jiaohe shouted, "We can't sit still and wait for death, but we need time. You have to make a good posture to stabilize Qi Xuansu and make him think that we still have illusions about him. We can slowly try to figure it out. Come and buy time, that’s what matters, do you understand?”
