Chapter 220 Questioning Zhuge Jiangnan
On the way back to his hometown, Long Ba sat in the car with an expressionless face. Next to him, a slightly sinister-looking man kept observing his actions with a smile on his face.
Suddenly, Long Ba asked: "Qianyuan, what do you think about this matter?"
Li Qianyuan smiled and said, "I dare not say anything."
"Say!" Long Ba said in a deep voice.
Li Qianyuan smiled and said: "Then I'll tell you. Overnight, several core figures of our Long family lost their lives. I'm afraid this is not a coincidence, right?"
Long Ba asked with a gloomy face: "What do you mean by this?"
"Even Jiang Zihou's intelligence system may not be able to find the daily haunts of every core figure of the Long family so accurately. Coupled with the deaths of Mr. Octopus and the Poison Lady... I think Jiang Zihou is well prepared this time. I'm afraid we have some internal problems."
Long Ba asked: "Who do you think has a problem?"
Li Qianyuan smiled and said: "I don't dare to say nonsense, but...it seems that Mr. Long, the handkerchief, knows him..."
Long Ba's pupils shrank slightly, flashing with an extremely sharp cold light, and then he nodded calmly and said calmly: "Let's go back to the mansion."
The driver said: "Yes, Mr. Long."
Long Ba suddenly said again: "Go to Zhuge Mansion!"
The car began to turn around and drive towards the Zhuge Mansion. Long Ba leaned on his seat and closed his eyes slightly. Li Qianyuan looked outside, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.
Zhuge Jiangnan was resting at home. When he heard the servant of the mansion announcing that Long Ba was coming, he felt surprised at first, and then his already depressed heart started to burn again. With his help, he believed that Long Ba only needed a short time. In time, the Black Province can be easily settled at the minimum cost. By then, even dominating the country's underground world will no longer be a dream.
As long as he thinks that he can assist Long Ba in establishing a huge empire in the underground world when he is old, he can't help but feel excited even at such an old age.
Long Ba walked in from the outside, and Zhuge Jiangnan did not greet him in the living room. This was his unique position in the Long family, and no one would say anything.
Zhuge Jiangnan wanted to see if Long Ba was kind enough to ask him to come out.
Jiang Wu and Poisonous Fox stood on both sides of the sofa. Both of them inherited Zhuge Jiangnan's ingenuity, but Jiang Wu inherited an upright conspiracy, while Poison Hu inherited a conspiracy calculated by the agency.
After Long Ba walked in, he looked at Zhuge Jiangnan calmly and said, "Mr. Zhuge, I want to talk to you in the study."
Zhuge Jiangnan could observe people's hearts through his eyes. From the moment Long Ba took the first step into the living room, he had been observing Long Ba secretly, but he felt a little awe-inspiring in his heart. Long Ba didn't seem to have any intention of inviting him out again, and there was something in it. With a bit of intention to raise an army to investigate the crime.
Thinking of the other party's purpose, Zhuge Jiangnan, even at such an old age, has already seen through everything, but he is still a little annoyed in his heart. The Long family is now at its peak. Of course, Long Ba's martial arts is the best in the world, plus he has three people around him. A helper that no one can match, but Zhuge Jiangnan's resourcefulness also played an important role.
Zhuge Jiangnan has repeatedly smashed the enemy's plots, and many times even allowed Long Ba's soldiers to seize the opponent's territory without bloodshed. Otherwise, no matter how strong Long Ba is, it will never be possible to dominate two of the three northern provinces in a short period of time. Power, this is almost an impossible task.
But now Zhuge Jiangnan has been abandoned because of his great achievements. Thinking of how much Long Ba respected him at the beginning, Zhuge Jiangnan is naturally angry in his heart. But now he thought that Long Ba invited him to come out. I didn't expect that there would be an intention to raise an army to investigate the crime. I'm afraid no one would be able to bear it, let alone Zhuge Jiangnan is such an old senior.
He nodded heavily, stood up on crutches, and walked upstairs without saying a word, obviously angry.
Long Ba ordered Li Qianyuan and others: "You wait here, I will go up and talk to Mr. Zhuge."
Li Qianyuan respectfully agreed, bowing his head with a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.
Zhuge Jiangnan walked to the door of the study tremblingly on crutches, opened the door and walked in, followed by Long Ba.
Long Ba looked at Zhuge Jiangnan's trembling body and sighed in his heart when he thought of how many times Zhuge Jiangnan had worked so hard just to make suggestions for him.
Zhuge Jiangnan sat down on the chair tremblingly, while Long Ba sat opposite him. The two looked at each other. Zhuge Jiangnan had a gloomy face and sighed: "Say it, Mr. Long, if you have any complaints, just let me know." Just tell the old man directly."
Long Ba looked at Zhuge Jiangnan and said, "Mr. Old Man has always worked hard for my Long family. He has stayed up all night to make suggestions for me, Long Ba, countless times, without even caring about his own health. Long Ba is grateful."
Zhuge Jiangnan said nothing.
Long Ba continued: "I think that when my group of four, Long Ba, was surrounded by Longmen in the Yangtze River area, I happened to meet the old man. Because of the old man's guidance, I was able to escape successfully, and listened to the old man's words and returned to my hometown. Sure enough, I created The reason why we have achieved today’s hegemony is because we followed the old man’s good advice.”
Zhuge Jiangnan said angrily: "That's because you have abilities and it has nothing to do with me."
Long Ba said: "At that time, our Long family was just a small force, with a small territory and few people. It was also because we followed the old man's good advice that we finally developed so rapidly to this day."
Thinking of all the plans he had made for Long Ba, and thinking that the Long family's country also had its own contribution, Zhuge Jiangnan couldn't help but sigh, feeling quite emotional.
"The old gentleman treats me like this, and I have a lot of respect for the old gentleman. In the entire Long family, the only one who can sit at the same table with me is the old gentleman. It can be said that the old gentleman is considered a person in my Long family. Below, above everyone. Mr. Zhuge, do you think so?"
Zhuge Jiangnan thought about the respect Long Ba had for him in the past, and his expression softened slightly, saying: "You do respect me more."
Long Ba said: "The old gentleman is kind to me, so I naturally respect the old gentleman very much. I have never treated him badly, and I even thought about taking care of him until his death."
Hearing this, Zhuge Jiangnan was moved.
Long Ba suddenly changed the topic and said in a deep tone: "But Mr., I don't know who seduced you and why you conspired with Jiang Zihou to betray me. Mr. Zhuge, can you tell me directly?"
Zhuge Jiangnan's eyes widened and he looked at Long Ba with a look full of disbelief, as if he didn't hear what Long Ba was saying clearly.
Long Ba said: "Last night, all the cities I occupied in Heilongjiang Province were lost. Except for City H, the capital of Heilongjiang Province, the bastards in the other cities had already expressed their surrender to me, but they ended up fighting with Jiang Zihou overnight. The people cooperated inside and outside, and they were all occupied."
Zhuge Jiangnan frowned and said in a deep voice: "This Jiang Zihou should not be underestimated...Long Ba, haven't you ever thought that before they assassinated the big guys who had taken refuge with you in the Black Province, and then framed you? The purpose is to sow discord between you and those who have taken refuge in you. People who have surrendered to you before will fear and hate you, fearing that you will not keep your word and will kill them later, and hate you for occupying their territory, so they would rather If you put all the power in Jiang Zihou's hands, he will rebel. This Jiang Zihou has a very deep plan."
Long Ba said disdainfully: "No matter how deep Jiang Zihou's calculations are, he will inevitably die in the end. It won't take long before I will definitely take off his head. But last night, a big event also happened in Shangyang City where we are now."
Zhuge Jiangnan asked in confusion: "What happened to Shang Yang?"
"My two sworn brothers and sisters, Octopus and Poisonous Lady, were killed overnight. Poisonous Lady died in a house, and Octopus died in the middle of a lake."
"What?" Zhuge Jiangnan was extremely shocked. He knew very well what these two people meant to Long Ba. When Zhuge Jiangnan first met Long Ba, those people were Long Ba's life and death friends, so the relationship was naturally very good. .
From another aspect, Zhuge Jiangnan thinks that he is the brains of the Long family, and Octopus, Li Tianling and Poison Lady are Long Ba’s claws. Now that Octopus and Poison Lady are dead, at least Long Ba is equivalent to having one of his hands chopped off. , the losses were heavy, even compared to the many cities that were lost in the Black Province, the losses were even more heavy than those.
Zhuge Jiangnan sighed, feeling a little confused. He shook his head and said, "I never thought that Jiang Zihou would have such energy, such courage, and such calculations. Long Ba, you can't underestimate him. He must be the person you have met since your debut." The biggest enemy!"
Long Ba looked at Zhuge Jiangnan and said, "Mr. Zhuge, it's you who I can't underestimate!"
Zhuge Jiangnan was shocked and thought of what Long Ba had said before, saying that he had colluded with Jiang Zihou to plot against him. Zhuge Jiangnan couldn't help being stunned and asked: "Long Ba, what are you thinking about?"
Long Ba said: "Mr. Zhuge, since I debuted, you have followed me and you have always made every move. Why did you miscalculate this time? I almost lost all the forces in the Black Province."
Zhuge Jiangnan said almost angrily: "It's not like I haven't warned you before, but you won't listen to anything! Maybe it's my fault, because I shouldn't be fighting with you. I've been staying behind closed doors recently and neglecting calculations. Otherwise, maybe That won’t be the case, but it’s definitely not collusion with Jiang Zihou, right?”
Long Ba said: "If you blame me because I asked you to go back to your home to recuperate, that may be justified, but why does Jiang Zihou know so well the whereabouts of the core members of the Long family every day? Is this also a coincidence?"
Zhuge Jiangnan shook his head and said: "I never thought that Jiang Zihou's intelligence system has been so perfect. This was my mistake."
Long Ba took out the handkerchief and threw it directly on Zhuge Jiangnan's table. He said in a calm tone: "I picked up this handkerchief in the house where Jiang Zihou's people killed the poisonous lady. I don't think Zhuge doesn't recognize it." Bar?"
Long Ba's eyes were fixed on Zhuge Jiangnan, aggressively.
