Xingchen listened to her husband's words and nodded with a smile. She doesn't want much, as long as she can accompany her husband.
But the more happily he agreed, the more heartache An An felt. He had lost a lot by marrying the woman whom Xingxu Palace regarded as a treasure, but now even the wife of a disciple from Dongdao couldn't give it to her.
"I just want you to suffer more. Some things are difficult to change. Even if I swear to God that I have no interest in the position of the chief island master of the East Island, these people from the East Island will still invisibly change the positions of me and my senior brother. Wait, one or two days is fine, but if we stay in Dongdao all year round, we will lose our backbone."
"Well, although I don't quite understand, I will listen to you."
"Thank you for your hard work. You should rest early. I'll go talk to my senior brother. We will leave Dongdao tomorrow. There are some things we should make clear."
"Well! Husband, come back soon."
Xingchen said as he put a leather jacket on An Xin:
“Dongdao is a bit cold at night, so it’s always a good idea to wear an extra fur coat.”
An Xin nodded, feeling the warmth brought by the leather jacket, and walked out of the door with a smile.
......
Coast of the East China Sea
An unknown island.
There is a small pavilion on the island.
An Eight Immortals table was placed in the center of the pavilion, with three people sitting in three directions.
"Da da"
With the sound of footsteps.
An old man said:
"coming!"
"Um"
"You don't have to accompany your wife on your wedding night."
"No, I'll spend a lot of time with her in the days to come."
"Then sit down, I'll wait for you."
As An Xin sat down, the west direction of the Eight Immortals Table all had their own owners.
The old man is naturally Jiu Wen, and there are two other people, one old and one young, who are Gu Tian and the second elder.
"Okay, everyone is here! Let's start."
As the old man's voice fell, the mahjong on the table was disrupted and reorganized.
As each mahjong was touched, Gu Tian looked at the other three people with bright eyes, but they stared back. The second elder said angrily:
"It's fun to play mahjong. What are you doing with Jiu Shen Jiu Yuan? You want to peek at our cards. Alas~ Alas, Jiu Wen, you old guy is the only one with your quick hands. How can you steal the cards? In the blink of an eye, I There are only three cards missing.”
"Just~ can we still have fun playing cards? Let's not use any tricks to have fun. Blank board!"
"Look, you are still calm and sensible, you know~ Wait a minute, wait a minute, why do you have a whiteboard? I don't have all the whiteboards in Xi Zhang!"
After saying that, the second elder spread out the whiteboard on the west sheet and showed it to everyone.
An Anxin saw the second elder spreading his cards and was the first to accuse:
"Second Junior Uncle, you are unreasonable. You told others not to play tricks, but you started playing tricks yourself. The patterns on this whiteboard were definitely erased by your internal power."
"You~ No, I'll go. Do you know that your sect's inheritance has been played to the end? Each one of you is cheating on the mahjong. One peeks at the cards, another steals the cards, and the other uses his inner strength to change the cards. Labor and management don't want to play anymore." Why did you call me here so late at night?"
The second elder was obviously furious. He pushed the cards on the table to the middle and drank the tea while cursing.
Gu Tian saw that the cards were in chaos and said with a smile:
"Second Junior Uncle, calm down, haven't you learned anything from this mahjong? Do you know why you can't be the master of the island?"
"What do you mean? What does playing mahjong and being a rogue have to do with being the island master? If my master hadn't favored the chief island master back then, you wouldn't have been able to do this, and you wouldn't have been the chief island master."
"Second Junior Uncle, look at how you are chatting all day long and getting anxious again. Then if you are still not willing to let me be the master of the island, you can ask your apprentice or adopted son to compete with our senior brothers. As long as we lose After one round, I gave up my position as the island leader.”
"My apprentice and adopted son are both honest and responsible people. Naturally, they can't compete with you two little foxes. I am also willing to submit to your sect. Now, you are the one who caused this topic. I have to compare mahjong and being the island master. Hook it up.”
"Second brother, you need to change your temper. What my apprentice means is that when you are the island leader, you should sit calmly in the center even if you know that someone is making small moves. Just like in this mahjong game, the three of us are cheating. Can't you be cheating? Do you have to slap the table and make everyone unhappy? "
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Jiuwen explained to the second elder.
"Hmph, you can't get on the stage by cheating. When Master died, I could have been the chief island owner. My support rate at that time was higher than yours. If you hadn't drugged me, it would have been your turn to be the chief island owner. Come and do it?”
"Oh, second brother! You still don't understand how you lost. When the master died, you had to immediately seek revenge from your enemies. You even said that only Dongdao can bully others, and no one else can bully Dongdao. Are you short-sighted?”
"Is there something wrong with what I said? The people below were so excited when they heard it. They were all clamoring to join me in seeking revenge against the enemy."
"Haha, then you probably don't know that the people who drugged you are also the same people who are clamoring for revenge against you."
"How is that possible! At the meeting back then, we all agreed to live and die with Dong Dao."
"Haha~ We live and die together. How could you have imagined this? We are all human beings and we all have only one life. You jumped in even though you knew you were going to die. Why, you are the only one who knows you want revenge. You don't want to think about it either. Why didn’t anyone below me gossip after I became the chief island owner? Why didn’t any of them support you after you recovered and told you to forget it? Now that I’ve become the chief island owner, this East Island Just listen to me."
"It's not like you deceived everyone with your sweet words."
"What a shame, it's really hard to talk to you. I don't have a clue. Forget it, I won't beat around the bush. I'm here to see you today because of the rights in your hands."
"What do you mean? Didn't I already agree to surrender to your sect?"
"Haha, you are still in the position of the second elder, how can you be considered a surrender?"
"You want me to be put under house arrest like you?"
The second elder looked at Jiuwen in disbelief.
"Look, what you said is retirement! The maid in the West is treated well. She can occasionally share her thoughts with me."
"You~"
The second elder was obviously angry at Jiuwen's helpless words. He pointed at Jiuwen's nose but couldn't say a word.
"No, you~ yours, if you hadn't been too upright and had a bad influence on Dongdao because of your loyalty and killing, I would have taken action on you long ago. Second brother, listen to my advice and admit defeat when you are old. "
"Okay, I will retreat! I will only retreat if the great elder retreats. If the great elder does not retreat, I will not retreat."
After saying that, he stood up and walked into the night without waiting for anyone's response.
......
The three of them looked at the figure of the second elder and sneered in unison. Then he looked at the messy mahjong on the table.
"Junior brother, let's code the mahjong properly. It's too messy to clean up."
"It's not urgent. Senior brother, how did you deal with the people at Shanmen that day?"
"I asked people to bury Dugu Sheng. If such a person cannot die well, it will be the fault of this world after all. As for Mo Xinjian, I arranged for him to stay first, and also asked Li Huazhen's granddaughter to try to contact him, but can she It’s not something I can interfere with.”
"Senior brother, you have to make sure the mahjong is fully stacked! If the stack is too high, it will collapse."
"It's too messy and doesn't look good."
"Master, what do you think?"
An Xin didn't answer Gu Tian's words and looked at Jiu Wen aside, how smart he was. Today's round seemed to be a knock on the second elder, but in fact it was a knock on him. After all, why does a weak second elder need to waste so many words?
"We are old, and we promised not to get involved in the East Island affairs, so we will not get involved in the East Island affairs. However, I still hope to finish the last chapter in peace and harmony."
Jiuwen's words were very interesting. He sounded like he was helping Gu Tian, but in fact he just said nonsense. Doesn't Anxin's intervention in Dongdao's affairs mean that Jiuwen and Hehe will finish the last chapter?
Is the next war on Dongdao a sure win? If he doesn't win, no one can imagine how miserable Gu Tian's fate will be if An Xin doesn't keep the truth. I'm afraid it will be even more miserable than Wu Tianli.
"Senior brother, it's always awkward to talk when there are outsiders around. Why don't we find a place to chat."
"Okay, let's go to the main island. It's true that outsiders talk coquettishly."
Gu Tian nodded in agreement.
After saying that, the two of them left the pavilion arm-in-arm, leaving Jiuwen alone in the wind, messy and numb~ What do these two things mean? It's not easy to chat with outsiders, what~ I am an outsider.
......
"Senior brother, you must have thought carefully that once I hand over this power, the world will not associate me with Dongdao. If Dongdao loses, I will not have any excuse to give you the answer."
"Junior brother, senior brother knows what you mean, but there are some roads that must be cut off before we can go far."
"Yes! Don't listen to advice. Forget it, you and I are brothers at all times."
......
Morning
An Xin left anyway and left Dongdao with Xingchen.
Gu Tian stood in the small house where he originally lived in peace, and was silent for a long time. He held the Dongdao token in his hand and cursed at Wang Yu who was beside him:
"No, you are such an old man, how can you do things? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on this cabin? Will you get through to me whenever you find Junior Brother An?"
"Senior Brother Island Master, I don't know what happened, but I fell asleep just looking at it."
"Haha~ Look at what you did. Junior Brother An will no longer be a disciple of our Dongdao, and you let him take away all the treasures. This loss will be deducted from your salary. Let me do the math, you have to compensate you A generation of grandchildren.”
“Senior Brother Island Master, I don’t have a partner yet!”
"Well, if it's okay, I'll arrange one for you right away."
