Chapter 49 [Tianmen Array] (1)
Dongsheng was the housekeeper of Liu Tongsi's mansion in the Shendao of Liao. He came here to celebrate his birthday on behalf of Liu Tongsi. Before he became a bandit, Xiao Tianxing's real name was Xiao Tianxiong. He worked with Liu Tongsi together with Liu Tongsi under the command of Prince Yixun. In addition, the two had another relationship. They were cousins. However, the paths they chose were different later. Xiao Tianxing was dedicated to protecting the Qing Dynasty and acted as the vanguard of the revolutionary party. Liu Tongsi's vision of judging the situation was obviously better. He turned against him in time and wisely surrendered to the revolutionary party. Facts proved that his grasp of the current situation was much more accurate than Xiao Tianxing. The Qing Dynasty was destroyed and the Republic of China was established. Xiao Tianxing, an executioner with both hands covered in blood from the revolutionary party, became a wanted criminal in the Republic of China. At the end of his despair, he had to escape to Pale Mountain and became a bandit in hiding his identity.
However, because of his turn at a critical moment, Liu Tongsi became an enlightened fighter who supported the revolution and democracy. He became a hero of the Republic of China. With his good interpersonal relationships and super diplomatic skills, he was valued by the Republic of China government. He appointed him as the Liao Chen Daoyin and became one of the real power figures in Yingkou and even the entire South Manchuria region.
The two had already publicly drawn a clear line. It is logical that one is an official and the other is a thief, and there is not much commonality. However, Xiao Tianxing is not an ordinary person. In just seven years, he relied on his powerful martial arts and cold-blooded and ruthless iron fist and promoted the strength of the entire parody to the peak.
The re-joining of Xiao Tianxing and Liu Tongsi is derived from interests. If you want to dominate the Pai Baishan, you must rely on your strength to rise from dozens of bandit forces in the Pai Baishan. No matter how high a person's martial arts is, he cannot defeat thousands of opponents. If you want to dominate in the shortest time, you must not only have your own team but also have advanced weapons. In order to obtain weapons, Xiao Tianxing once again thought of this cousin who had drawn a clear line, and used the wealth he obtained from plunder to buy a large number of advanced weapons from Liu Tongsi at a high price.
Xiao Tianxing used these weapons to equip his team with his own team, and his strength was rapidly improved in the short term. He also relied on these weapons to fight in Pale Shandong, constantly expanding his territory, and his rapidly increasing combat power allowed him to rise from many forces while also allowing him to plunder more wealth. From this point of view, Liu Tongsi was very helpful to him. However, Xiao Tianxing was not grateful because Liu Tongsi never paid for his efforts. In recent years, Liu Tongsi has also received amazing returns from him. All the weapons purchased by Xiao Tianxing are from high prices. Liu Tongsi will not be kind to his subordinates because they have worked together for many years, or for the sake of their aunt's cousin.
As wealth and strength grow day by day, Xiao Tianxing is in contact with a circle that is getting bigger and bigger, and his horizons are getting wider and wider. He has long been dissatisfied with Liu Tongsi's greed exploitation, and the relationship between the two has quietly developed a rift. In the past two years, he has sent Zheng Qianchuan to frequently engage in major cities in Manchuria in order to make friends with real power figures in Manchuria and develop relationships in all aspects. Once the time is ripe, he will get rid of Liu Tongsi without hesitation.
Dongsheng came on behalf of Liu Tongsi. Although he was the general manager of Liu Gongguan, Dongsheng's real identity was a chess piece that Xiao Tianxing arranged next to Liu Tongsi. This was a secret that belonged only to the two of them. Even the Liuli Wolf Zheng Qianli didn't know this secret. Xiao Tianxing deliberately asked Dongsheng to wait outside the door, not deliberately neglecting it, but to confuse Zheng Qianli's sight.
Many people know Xiao Tianxing's mightyness and cold-bloodedness, and they all agree with Zheng Qianli's IQ, but few people know that Xiao Tianxing is the one with the most scheming in this copycat. If he had no extraordinary wisdom, how could he reach the peak of power in Langya Village in just seven years and sit on this tiger-skinned chair?
When Dongsheng walked into Xiongfeng Hall, Xiao Tianxing actually took the initiative to leave the tiger-skin chair to greet him, which shows how he valued Dongsheng.
Dongsheng bowed deeply with his fists: "I wish my boss a blessing like the East China Sea, a long life as the southern mountains, a unified world, and a prosperous future!"
Xiao Tianxing laughed loudly. Xiongfeng Hall is a forbidden place for anyone. Without his permission, others are not allowed to enter without his permission. Therefore, this is the safest place. People who do not gain his trust are not qualified to enter here at all.
Xiao Tianxing held Dongsheng's hands and said, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work!"
Dongsheng raised his head, his eyes full of excitement. He knew his importance to Xiao Tianxing. The only person Xiao Tianxing truly trusted was himself, and even his sworn brothers could not be compared with him.
Xiao Tianxing took Dongsheng's hand and sat down at the Taishi chair beside him. A pot of wine was warming in the copper basin above the red mud stove. Xiao Tianxing picked up the pot and filled the golden cup on the square table. A rich aroma of wine came to his nose.
Xiao Tianxing personally handed one of the glasses of wine to Dongsheng. Dongsheng took them with both hands and said respectfully: "It is not convenient for me to show up openly and I will go back tomorrow, so I can only use this glass of wine to celebrate the birthday of the boss."
Xiao Tianxing and he clinked the wine glass, and the two of them drank the wine together.
Dongsheng placed the gift box he brought on the table, took out the handwritten letter written by Liu Tongsi to Xiao Tianxing from his arms, and placed it gently on the gift box.
Xiao Tianxing glanced and did not show much interest: "How is his condition?" Zheng Qianchuan had already brought some news, but Xiao Tianxing still hoped to hear it from Dongsheng.
Dongsheng said: "It is still in a Japanese hospital."
Xiao Tianxing said disdainfully: "I'm so spoiled. Isn't it just a loss of ears or a loss of head!"
Dongsheng said: "At first we thought it was nothing big, but after being sent to the hospital, the condition suddenly worsened. After a comprehensive examination, he found that he was also poisoned!"
"Poisoned?" Xiao Tianxing frowned. Things were much more complicated than they seemed.
Dongsheng lowered his voice and said, "He is punishable!"
Xiao Tianxing was shocked. What Dongsheng said about his heart is a secret poison made by Da Nei. The formula of this poison is very unique and has been mastered by very few people. Since the Qing Dynasty fell, the formula of these secret poisons has also been lost. Unexpectedly, it will return to the world after many years.
Dongsheng said: "The third leader should have told you the details. The scene was in chaos at that time, and there was no time to count the lost property due to the fire. Later, I found that Liu Tongsi's safe had been stolen."
Xiao Tianxing said: "What are you missing?"
Dongsheng said: "Liu Tongsi's mouth was very tight and he didn't mention anything about the items he threw. However, when he and Xie Liyun were quarreling privately, he said that he had lost an amulet, and said that everything that happened that night was caused by Xie Liyun."
Xiao Tianxingdao: "What amulet?"
Dongsheng said: "I have never seen it before. It seems that he heard that it was given to him by Prince Rui back then."
Xiao Tianxing's face changed and he nodded slowly. Dongsheng was good at observing his words and expressions. He stopped and picked up the wine pot to fill the two golden cups. However, Xiao Tianxing opened the letter Liu Tongsi gave him at this moment. After reading it, his heart couldn't help but become heavy. Liu Tongsi did not mention the loss of things in the letter, and even did not mention the fire in Liu Gongguan, his poisoning and his ears being cut off. At the beginning, he congratulated his birthday, and then mentioned the murder of Ren Zhongchang, the governor of northern Jiangxi, in Huangpu last month. At the end of the letter, he also reminded Xiao Tianxing to take care of himself.
If this letter fell into the hands of an outsider, it would definitely be confused. I would not think of the connection between these things, but in Xiao Tianxing's opinion, it made him frightened. Ren Zhongchang, Liu Tongsi and himself. The three of them were all under Prince Rui Yixun back then. Now Ren Zhongchang is assassinated, and Liu Tongsi has been cut off and he is secretly poisoned. He is still lying in the hospital, and his life and death are uncertain. Is his next target?
