The demon world I designed

"General, you are finally here. Come on, sit down."

Liuzhou Star Observation Tower has the best location. A large number of rooms have been allocated to military households, but there are still a small number of commercial rooms. Among them, the most expensive location is the top floor, which has been taken over by those chambers of commerce with strong financial resources and turned into Liuzhou. The most expensive restaurant in the city, here has the best view, overlooking the entire Liuzhou City, looking at the vast sky, drunk and singing, which is something that even the imperial city cannot enjoy, attracting many rich people to come here.

Today, several old subordinates are having a rare break during the New Year, so the brothers naturally want to get drunk.

"Oh, since we came to Jiangnan, how long has it been since we got together like this?" One of the big men blushed, and he had obviously secretly drank the blood ginseng wine, and he was very excited.

Tian Heng looked at the other party funny. The one who spoke was Meng Sheng. He was one of the veterans who followed the Tian family. He was originally the most opposed to coming to Jiangnan. Unexpectedly, after a few years here, he was the one who had the most comfortable life. He was in charge of sea trade. He often fished for good things from his family and brothers.

When the Western Navy is said to be extremely rich, it actually refers to his soldiers. Business houses from all over the country have to give him face. It can be said that he has been very prosperous in the past few years. Wherever he goes, people call him General Meng. Even the aristocratic families in the capital want to please him so that they can do things conveniently. Maritime trade business.

This guy didn't have much potential. He started to live in a state of intoxication after entering the transcendent world. According to him, there is no point in living for too long. When his descendants have earned enough capital, he will reincarnate when it is time to reincarnate and start a new life.

For this, the old brothers despised him.

"You have a lot of time." Many old brothers rolled their eyes at him: "We are all working very hard."

"Aren't you big-hearted?" Meng Sheng chuckled: "I didn't ask for this sea trade job. You didn't want me to pick up the leftovers. It's too late to complain now."

They were talking proudly, but for some reason, when Meng Sheng said that they were big-hearted, there was a strange change in the eyes of several people, and they became a bit stern, but then they immediately returned to normal.

Tian Heng also had a complicated expression when he saw this scene.

If all his brothers were people like Meng Sheng who were content with the status quo, maybe he wouldn't have to go to this point, right?

When the brothers first arrived in Jiangnan, most of them were dissatisfied. Half a year after arriving, everyone was extremely enthusiastic and extremely satisfied because their strength was visibly rising. By that time, he could see some hidden dangers.

That's why the brothers' ambitions are not small!

The reason is very simple. When selecting positions, no one was selected for the Sea Trade Guards Corps, which was obviously more profitable. They were very active in the tasks of developing desert islands.

Why?

Of course, this is because desert island development has great independent military power, and those island countries are far away from the south of the Yangtze River. Once the center of the south of the Yangtze River shows weakness, the military power controlled there can be divided into kings at any time. This is also the reason why many generals prefer to be granted distant titles.

As Jiangnan developed better and better, the strength of the Western Navy soared, and the ambitions of the brothers became more and more expanded.

Especially in comparison to the Fighter Army.

In Jiangnan, everyone yearned for the Fighting Army, and many people were dissatisfied when they were outclassed by those mud-legged warriors. So Chen Qing made up for it by recruiting the Xihai Tribe to join, and entrusting the rescue in the southeast to them. , Tian Heng admitted that Chen Qing was not sorry for him, and he was kind enough to think otherwise.

But now that we’ve come this far, who doesn’t want to go further?

Doesn’t Xu Hu not want to?

Just pretending to be honest.

In history, when the lord was powerful, everyone was loyal, but who was the absolutely loyal minister?

The Taizu of the previous dynasty was the commander of the imperial army. If he could serve as the commander of the imperial army, he was naturally trusted by the king. What was the result?

As soon as something happened to the king, he would wear a yellow robe, bully orphans and widows, and change the country!

If we talk about it in the beginning, it is definitely impossible for the previous Taizu to have such ambitions from the beginning, but when the opportunity comes, how many of them can resist the temptation?

This is the perfect opportunity!

Chen Qing was trapped in Yundu. Judging from the plan shown by the man, there was no chance that Chen Qing would come back alive.

Ninety percent of his lieutenants were tempted by that man. If he didn't agree, there was only one way, and that was to kill all these old brothers.

But in this way, even if he proves his loyalty, what status will he still have in Xihai in the future?

If you do this, who else will be willing to follow you in the future?

Even if he proves himself in this way, will Chen Qing absolutely trust him?

People's hearts are unpredictable. From Chen Qing's perspective, if he chooses loyalty for a moment, what if he regrets it in the future? Will you do the same thing when you get a second chance?

Wouldn't he be suspicious? After you choose to be absolutely loyal, will you definitely die a happy death?

No one can say for sure.

Tian Heng drank silently.

"Lao Meng, you're kind-hearted, it's okay." One of the big men said while drinking: "No matter what happens in the future, brothers will definitely protect your wealth!"

"Tian Ye!" Tian Heng immediately glared at the other party: "What nonsense are you talking about? The Lord knows people well and needs you to protect them?"

"Uh, hahaha, yes, yes." The big man was stunned, and then he immediately raised his glass and said, "Brother, I said the wrong thing. I will punish myself with three drinks!"

Meng Sheng was also stunned, and then Ye started laughing: "You're such a mouthful, you will get into trouble sooner or later. Three cups is not enough, at least ten cups are the starting point!"

"You Lao Meng, what kind of grudges do you have?" The other party immediately rolled his eyes: "Will you find an opportunity to kill me?"

A group of people burst into laughter. It seemed like a harmonious scene, but Meng Sheng's heart was no longer as hot as before, and for some reason, it felt cold.

He knows these old brothers too well

He always remembered that when the brothers followed the King of Qin, they had a prosperous life. From a second-rate family, they became a wealthy family that no one dared to look down on in the world. The King of Qin was very kind to the Tian family.

I was living a good life at that time, and I was extremely grateful to King Qin.

But one day, the brothers' attitudes began to become ambiguous and weird. At that time, I felt uneasy. In the end, the uneasiness became a reality.

The Tian family participated in the encirclement and suppression of the King of Qin. The Qin King's army who had fought side by side were killed by them with butcher knives. He always remembered those things, especially when one of his brothers, a member of the Qin King's army, was defeated by his encirclement and suppression army. , begging himself to let his family go.

I agreed at the time, but in the end I couldn't keep anything.

The surrounding brothers used the pretext of eradicating the roots to slaughter all the nine families of the other party, young and old, and the female family members were even tortured wantonly by the soldiers who turned into beasts.

As a result, many years later, he could still dream about the brother's resentful face.

He really didn't want to experience that kind of scene again, but it seemed that the brothers didn't think so.

He has been with these people for so many years, and many people know what they are holding back when they look at him, and he knows that these people are going to take action again.

But why?

Meng Sheng didn't understand. Jiangnan was booming and the brothers at the bottom were living so well. He had never had such a comfortable life in so many years. This was not only because of his lucrative position, but also because of the atmosphere in Jiangnan. This kind of The soft and hopeful environment, witnessed by myself, is getting better day by day. This feeling is different from ever before.

Can such a good day and such a good Jiangnan still not stop the ambitions of these brothers?

Meng Sheng drank the wine, a trace of sadness flashed deep in his eyes.

People are really scary things.

——

"General. Lao Meng has noticed it. Now there can be no mistake in this matter. Do you want to?"

"Shut up!" Tian Heng's face turned livid: "Don't you admit anything? One day, if you have a chance, can you kill me too?"

"No. How can this be the same?" Several lieutenants frowned, and the atmosphere became a little cold for a while.

"We're not too proud. We're just saying that we should keep Lao Meng under guard. Now, killing people will definitely alert the underworld. We don't want to alert the underworld, right?" One of the big men hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

As soon as these words came out, Tian Heng's face looked a little better. He hesitated and said, "Let me think about it, let me think about it."

Several lieutenants glanced at each other after hearing this. Master Tian Heng was very loyal to his brothers, but his shortcoming was that he was a little indecisive. If they hadn't reacted decisively during King Qin's incident and cut off his retreat, he might not have arrived. In the end, they are still vacillating. Throughout the ages, what good will happen to those who vacillate?

It seems that this time, they have to step in and help the soft-hearted leader make a decision!
