The book continues from the previous chapter.
Snow Moon City.
The backyard of Donggui Tavern.
After hearing Ji Xue's words, Su Changhe pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "Miss Ji Xue means that Xueyue City is afraid that Anhe will go back on its word."
Upon hearing this, Ji Xue shrugged and said, "Patriarch and the three clan leaders, according to what we in Xueyue City know about Anhe, Anhe has a history of going back on its word."
"According to our understanding of Dark River in Xueyue City, the predecessor of Dark River was the Shadow Sect of the Beili Royal Family, an assassin organization that specialized in killing people for the Xiao Royal Family. It can be said that it was a knife in the hands of the Xiao Royal Family that would do anything to achieve its goals. However, Dark River has now escaped the control of the Xiao Royal Family."
"Not only that, you, Dark River, also wanted to support a prince to achieve your goal. However, because of the power of our Snow Moon City and Xiao Se, you, Dark River, finally stopped the plan to support the prince. Therefore, you, Dark River, have no trust in Snow Moon City at all."
When Su Changhe and others heard this, they understood why Xueyue City no longer trusted Anhe.
At this time, Su Muyu said to Ji Xue calmly, "Miss Ji Xue, these are true, but you in Xueyue City should know why Anhe wants to break away from the control of the Xiao royal family. We, Anhe, broke away from the Xiao royal family just because we don't want to be the rats in the stinking ditch. So as long as we are in the open, we will never have the idea of betrayal again."
When Ji Xue heard this, she nodded and said quietly, "Everyone, let me tell you a story."
"Once upon a time, there was a soldier who was very brave and fearless in the battlefield. He killed many enemy soldiers. Then, this soldier relied on his bravery to kill the enemy and gradually rose from a soldier to the position of a general."
"However, power can corrupt people's hearts, and human nature is unpredictable. This soldier who became a general was corrupted by power, so the general returned to Kyoto with a million troops to seek power and usurp the throne."
"So, your Dark River's credibility is not worthy of our Snow Moon City's unconditional trust."
After Ji Xue finished saying this, she prepared to see the guests off and let the people from Dark River leave Xueyue City.
But since Anhe, Su Changhe and others have come to Xueyue City, how could they give up so easily?
After all, it was no longer possible for Anhe to stand in the open by supporting the prince.
After all, Emperor Mingde is now determined to let Xiao Se sit on the position of crown prince in preparation for his future ascension to the throne. Once Xiao Se ascends to the throne, it is impossible for him to help Anhe. Therefore, it is impossible for Anhe to stand in the open with the support of the royal family.
Therefore, Anhe now has no choice but to seek refuge in Xueyue City and let Xueyue City help them to move from the dark to the light.
Then they, Anhe, must seize Xueyue City, the only choice waiting for me, so they will never give up this opportunity easily.
Otherwise, the Dark River will never see the light of day, and will always stand in the shadows, causing the world to criticize its existence.
So, Su Changhe, the head of the Dark River, continued to say to Ji Xue, "Miss Ji Xue, how about this? We at Dark River have only one request. As long as Xueyue City helps Dark River to stand out from the dark side of the world and allow Dark River to operate independently, then no matter what conditions or requests Xueyue City puts forward, Dark River will unconditionally agree. What do you think?"
After hearing what Su Changhe said, Ji Xue pondered for a while, and then responded, "How about this, everyone please wait here for a moment, I will go and ask the city lords of Xueyue City what they think?"
"Okay." Su Changhe and others nodded in response after hearing this.
Afterwards, Ji Xue left Donggui Tavern and was about to go to Ye Mansion to find her master Ye Junlin when she suddenly received a message from Ye Junlin. Ye Junlin told Ji Xue that he, Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng were also in Donggui Tavern where they could not see her, so Ye Junlin asked Ji Xue to go and deal with the people from Dark River without worry.
Afterwards, Ye Junlin continued to send a message to Ji Xue for some guidance. After receiving Ye Junlin's guidance, Ji Xue immediately had a direction.
at the same time.
After hearing Ye Junlin's voice transmission, Ji Xue couldn't help but look in the direction of Ye Junlin, Baili Dongjun, Sikong Changda and others, then snorted, and then muttered happily, "Hmph, stinky master, you acted like you didn't care about her before, but now you come to care about her, you really have a sharp tongue but a soft heart."
After muttering, Ji Xue happily went to deal with the people from Dark River again.
...............
And at the same time.
In a private room of Donggui Tavern, Ye Junlin, Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng were sitting inside drinking.
Baili Dongjun looked at Ye Junlin and said quietly, "Junlin, Dark River is just like Xiaoxue said, it is a double-edged sword. Do we in Xueyue City really want to accept Dark River, a killer organization?"
Sikong Changfeng also looked at Ye Junlin with regret. He also wanted to know what Ye Junlin's plan was.
Ye looked at Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng, then said with a smile, "Big Brother, Little Brother, think about it, which one is more troublesome, the hidden arrows from the assassin organization hiding in the dark, or the assassin organization standing in the open?"
Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng answered without hesitation, "Of course, the hidden arrows from the assassin organization hiding in the dark are more troublesome."
Upon hearing this, Ye Junlin said earnestly, "Look, since you, Senior Brother and Junior Brother, think the same way, then why don't we put the Dark River out in the open? Moreover, as long as we put the Dark River out in the open, we can freely propose any conditions for the Dark River."
Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng were still a little worried about the assassin organization like Dark River after hearing this, so they frowned and said, "Jun Lin, even if this is the case, it is still a little unsafe. After all, Dark River is a assassin organization. Can Su Changhe really surrender to Xueyue City?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Junlin waved his hand and said disapprovingly, "Big Brother, Little Brother, you can just put your minds at ease. If Dark River really surrenders to Snow Moon City, then the head of Dark River will definitely have to be replaced, and I have someone in mind to replace the head of Dark River, and the person who will replace the head of Dark River is a swordsman."
"The sword is the way of a gentleman. The swordsman I'm talking about doesn't look like a killer at all. This person is more like a cool swordsman in the martial arts world. So let's replace the head of Dark River with this swordsman, and then Dark River will have no problems."
The person that Ye Junlin mentioned to replace Su Changhe, the patriarch of Anhe, was Su Changhe's younger brother Su Changli. If Su Changli had not been born in Anhe, he would have been a world-famous swordsman by now.
When Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng heard this, they looked at Ye Junlin and asked curiously, "Junlin, who are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Junlin smiled and did not answer Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng. Instead, he gave each of them a copy of the information about Su Changli in Baixiaotang and Spider Web.
Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng took the information and started reading it. The information described Su Changli's life, including his personality and things that happened to him since he was a child, as well as various behaviors that were incompatible with a killer.
After Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng finished reading the information, Baili Dongjun spoke first, "Su Changli is the younger brother of Su Changhe, the head of the Dark River family. If it is really as described in the information, then it is not impossible to hand over Dark River to Su Changli."
Sikong Changfeng also nodded and said, "That's right, Su Changli can be the new patriarch of Dark River, but Junlin, if Dark River really surrenders to Xueyue City, how will Dark River be arranged at that time? With Xueyue City's status and reputation in the martial arts world, it is impossible for Dark River to continue to be a killer organization that only kills people indiscriminately for profit."
Upon hearing this, Ye Junlin smiled and said, "As for how to arrange for Anhe, let's wait until Xiaoxue is done with her. After Anhe really surrenders, we can discuss the future of Anhe in detail."
Xueyue City is the number one martial arts city in the world. Even if Anhe really surrenders, Xueyue City will not allow Anhe to become a killer organization that kills indiscriminately for profit.
If Dark River surrenders to Snow Moon City and continues to act as a killer organization that kills indiscriminately for profit, it will be very bad for the reputation of Snow Moon City.
Therefore, after Anhe really surrendered to Xueyue City, although Ye Junlin still allowed Anhe to be a killer organization, it could not be a killer organization that only killed people for profit.
