Xing Tao saw that both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were silent, and he continued: "You two, look at things too superficially, you can't see what is really hidden behind, and you can't see long-term things. ."

"According to what you said, all those famous nobles are really villains? On the contrary, the devil has become the savior of the world?" Xu Ziling was still a little unacceptable, because Xingtao's words had already subverted his usual thinking.

"You can't say the same thing. It's just that when you do evil, ordinary people can't see the decent practices of the famous people; while the demons are more direct." Xingtao replied, "Actually, there are some things that you can think about yourself. This society is full of all classes, there are peasants who work hard, there are landlords who control a lot of land, there are businessmen who run their business, there are high-level nobles, and even those gangsters in the shadows of society.”

"Every stratum is full of contradictions. If the hooligans want to live a good life, they must hurt the farmers who work hard; if the landlord wants to live a good life, they must also increase the exploitation of the farmers; and the merchants are more It is necessary to reduce the cost of various channels in order to make money. As for the contradictions between the high-level nobles and those landlords and businessmen, I don’t need to say more!”

Seeing several people nodding, Xingtao continued: "Because of these contradictions, everyone is faced with a choice, whether to choose to benefit themselves or to benefit others. If you choose to benefit yourself, then don't care about the lives of others; choose to benefit others, Then you need to sacrifice yourself, but if you sacrifice from generation to generation, no matter what the high-level clan is, it will be finished."

"So, look at those high-level families, the reason they can survive for so long is that they choose to benefit themselves rather than others. But if they are too self-serving, they will inevitably lead to strong resistance from all walks of life, so they need to' Benefiting people' as a superficial kung fu. This is how the big families you are familiar with operate, whether it is good or evil, it is actually like this, and there is no difference in essence."

"The topic is back to Zhenghe Demon." Xingtao's topic changed, and he returned to the previous topic, "In today's world, after all, the people of the right way occupy the vast majority, no matter how the Demon Sect develops, the number is still not as good as the right way. One-tenth. So that determines the difference between the two."

"In the right way, there are so many people who don't work in production. If you want to support these people, you must vigorously exploit the people at the bottom. Otherwise, what do you think the thousands of temples and hundreds of thousands of monks in the Central Plains eat and wear? It’s not by relying on the bottom-level people to farm their fields to support them.”

"On the contrary, the Demon Sect is different. They don't have many people, so there is no such thing as mass exploitation of the people at the bottom. But as long as there are a few elites who are active in the world in the Demon Sect, they can lead a large number of people to follow. They made a fortune together. This is a contribution to the world, on the contrary, there is no such contribution in the right way, because there are too many of them, and the exploited things are not enough for them to use."

"For example, Anlong, the suzerain of the Tianlian Sect of the Demon Gate, is nicknamed 'Fat Jia'. He is a big businessman active in Bashu. He controls and integrates countless resources, and countless people can survive because of him. "Xingtao said slowly, "And this kind of thing, those famous families can't do it. Because most of their resources are concentrated in the fields, the objects of their exploitation are those honest farmers!!"

Chapter 63 Li Shimin

Since ancient times, the Central Plains has emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, so it is said that the heritage and accumulation of those aristocratic families and famous families are all things like land.And what Xingtao said also directly brought their various exploitations from the dark to the light, so that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling could see clearly that there is no difference between the righteous way and the magical way in essence.

Xingtao's words are not poisonous.His meaning is very direct, that is to tell Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling that businessmen can feed countless people through their own talents, while those well-known and upright people can lie directly on the land left by their ancestors and live by exploiting the common people. A good life.

For Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, two people who were born at the bottom, this kind of remark was undoubtedly extremely lethal.It is also exploitation. Why can you, the big family, rely on the blessing of your ancestors to live a superior life; why do you look down on those who struggle step by step and call them demons?

"Of course, if the righteous way is defeated by the demonic way, the whole world will not change when the demonic way is in power. Only when the righteous way is in a balance can the people at the bottom live a stable and happy life." Xingtao One last word.

Everyone was silent for a while, then Kou Zhong said: "Brother Xing, if Cihang Jingzhai doesn't give you the He's jade, how are you going to grab it? The people who escort this He's jade this time are the most important people except Cihang Jingzhai. In addition to the outstanding disciple, there is another person."

"It's Ning Daoqi!" Xing Tao said lightly.

At this time, Ba Fenghan's eyes lit up: "Ning Daoqi, one of the three great masters? How could this Ning Daoqi help the people of Cihang Jingzhai send this He's jade? How could he say that he is a person with status! "

Xu Ziling said: "I seem to have heard that the reason why Ning Daoqi is willing to give He's jade this time is because he made an agreement with Cihang Jingzhai to borrow the jade for three years."

Kou Zhong then said strangely: "In addition to being used as a national seal and a symbol of the emperor's power, what else can the He's jade be worth and do, to actually provoke one of the three great masters in this world to fight for it?"

"He's jade does have some special functions, which are of great benefit to those of us who practice martial arts!" Xingtao explained, "It is said that this object can greatly complement the innate deficiencies of the human body, expand the meridians, and create a supreme foundation for those who practice martial arts. It is also for this reason that I took action to snatch it!"

"There are such divine objects in the world?" Kou Zhong exclaimed.

Even Ba Fenghan showed an incredible look.

"Don't be too happy too soon, the power in the He's jade, no one has been able to understand for so many years, otherwise why would Ning Daoqi return the He's jade to Cihang Jingzhai?" Xingtao said lightly. .

……

As time passed, the sky gradually became dark, and most of the people in the restaurant began to return to their rooms or go home!Xingtao and the others also walked down from the box.At this moment, the sound of footsteps came to the crowd.

With the sound of his footsteps, Xu Ziling raised his head abruptly, as Li Shimin was walking like a tiger in his heart.

I saw a man with a bamboo hat on his head, the sunshade hanging down, wearing a gray cloth, walking straight towards him, his steps light and powerful, and he had an imposing aura that was extremely intimidating.

Xu Ziling calmed down and said solemnly, "King Qin, long time no see."

The man was stunned for a moment, then sat down opposite him, took off his bamboo hat, revealing a handsome face, and said with great surprise, "Can Brother Xu see through the face of my younger brother? And Brother Kou, long time no see!" He raised his hand again and called to the man, "Bring the wine!" Then he called Xingtao and the others to sit at the table next to him.

Xingtao took a closer look at the famous monarch of later generations - Li Shimin.This is a young man of Xuanwu, with big ears, a mighty appearance, lacquer eyes, and a spirit. At this moment, he stands proudly and has a calm demeanor.

At this time, Li Shimin was also looking at Xingtao, his eyes suddenly fell on the Mo Xuejian on Xingtao's back, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "It turns out that Commander Xing is also here."

The wine glasses and jugs were brought to the stage. After everyone filled the wine, Li Shimin raised the glass and said with a smile: "This glass is for me and Brother Xu and Brother Kou to reunite after a long absence." After drinking, he filled the wine again. , looked at Ba Fenghan, and said, "Brother Ba is famous in the world, I am fortunate to meet today, please drink this cup!!"

After drinking the second glass of wine, Li Shimin looked at Xingtao and said, "What are you doing, Commander Xing came to Luoyang?"

Li Shimin's first two glasses of wine are naturally refreshing, but facing Xingtao is different.The two had already confirmed their identities as enemies. Naturally, Li Shimin couldn't talk like he made friends with Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Xingtao laughed and said, "I'm here to do the same thing as you! I'll do whatever you want."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Everyone knows what my father sent me to do, and I won't hide it, but this world is in chaos, no matter who or what power it is, it is the responsibility of the world to unify the world! The clan also wants to unify the world as soon as possible! This is very useful for the clan! In this chaotic world, the people are suffering, there must be a capable person who can dominate the world, and we Li clan have a great chance of unifying the world."

Xingtao smiled and said: "You Li clan take advantage of the dangers in Guanzhong to raise their power, while the ups and downs outside Xuguan Guan are fighting against each other, and you will be firmly seated as the hegemon. After you have cultivated the power of the people, you can slowly make plans for the country! Plus, if you can get the Heshibi, the world's righteousness will be in your hands, and it is very likely that your Li clan can occupy the country!"

"Your Li clan's idea is quite good, but unfortunately, with me here, your Li clan is destined to fail to achieve your goal!" Xingtao said lightly, "I think you might as well surrender to me, then prosperity and wealth are just around the corner. Anyway, you are just a vanguard general who fights the world for your father and brother."

Li Shimin shook his head again and said: "In the past, the faint-hearted lord Yang Guang had no way, his life was ruined, and the heroes rose together. I, Li Shimin, only wished to overthrow the tyrant and relieve the suffering of the people. The rest is not what I dare to imagine. Commander Xing, you are joking!!"

Chapter 64 The Concubine Xuan

At this time, Xu Ziling said solemnly: "A bright pearl is always a bright pearl. Even if it is covered by grass for a while, it will reveal its light one day. Brother Shimin is the one who is willing to be subservient to others."

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, his eyes gradually lit up, and then he showed a sad and uneven look, and said in a low voice: "The day I helped Yan to raise troops in Taiyuan, he promised that whoever of our brothers could conquer Guanzhong would be named the heir. At that time, he said to me in private: 'This matter is entirely up to you to advocate, if the major event is accomplished, the natural credit will be attributed to you, so you must be established as the prince'."

Xu Ziling frowned and said, "Brother Shimin has this idea, why did he just show an angry look?"

Li Shimin said dejectedly: "Because I am afraid that my elder brother is another Yang Guang, then I will be extremely sinful. Otherwise, even if Jia Yan breaks his promise because of the woman's words, I will not dare to object. I have nothing to say about the long' patriarchal law."

Ba Fenghan belonged to the Turks and didn't want to say anything to the Central Plains; and Kou Zhong and Xing Tao wanted to compete for the world, so they had no position to ask Li Shimin; at this moment, only Xu Ziling and Li Shimin asked and answered questions, and there was no one else.

Xingtao looked at Li Shimin's question and answer, and sneered in his heart: "Li Shimin is really no one else, in order to win over Xu Ziling, he even exposed his shortcomings in front of me. He also saw that my Chilong Army has not yet eliminated Xiao Xian to pacify the south, so Don't be afraid that I will make trouble for him!"

Suddenly, one of the people sitting at the table far away from the five people whispered: "Well said!"

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan, and Li Shimin looked around in amazement, and saw that there was only one customer left in the tavern, sitting in the farthest corner with their backs to them, pouring and drinking by themselves.

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Ba Fenghan, and Li Shimin exchanged glances, unable to hide their surprise.
