Chapter 4218 4220【Relentless】
During these two months, Xiang Nan also traveled to Shennongjia many times to observe the growth of Tianxiang cardamom.
After applying the excrement of the Moon Chi Beast, the Tianxiang Cardamom is indeed growing well. The seedlings have even grown to more than a foot tall. The entire plant is blooming green and very beautiful.
However, it has been more than half a year since the planting, but there has been no flowering and fruiting, which makes Xiang Nan very surprised.
"Is it because the flowering time has been missed? Or is it like ginseng, which only blooms in three or four years and bears fruit in five or six years?" He couldn't help but wonder.
Because Tianxiang Cardamom became extinct three thousand years ago, people don't know much about it. They only know that it is a holy medicine for healing and can bring the dead back to life. However, they don't understand its growth habits and reproduction methods, so they can only explore it slowly.
Therefore, Xiang Nan could only test it slowly. Fortunately, even if this one was destroyed, he still had a seed and a chance to try.
…
After the New Year, the brave **** Hou Zhuwu went to Tianshan again to visit Su Xin.
This time, he brought Shangguan Haitang with him.
In Xiang Nan's opinion, he did this because he was too lonely.
Zhu ignores the fact that he has no friends. No matter whether Wan Sanqian, Duan Tianya, Haitang, Yidao, who are close to him on the surface, or Tokugawa General, Yagyu Tajima Mamoru and others who are secretly colluding with him, they are nothing more than tools and tools to him. Just chess pieces.
He only has two old friends, one is Gu Santong and the other is Su Xin.
They were the only two people who had known him since childhood and understood his thoughts best.
Man's best friends are those he has known since childhood. Friends made after success can easily be mixed with other elements.
For example, Zhu Wuwu and Wan Sanqian seemed to be very good friends. Wan Sanqian even spent tens of millions of taels of silver to help him prepare food, grass, ordnance, and armor for an 800,000-strong army.
But Wan Sanqian was not Zhu Wuli's friend, he only valued Zhu Wuli's status. After all, the top rich can only be obtained by relying on the support of top power.
If he helps Zhu Wu become emperor, his business may become even bigger, and he may become as wealthy as Deng Tong, Fan Li, and Lu Buwei, and may even have the chance to dominate the country.
Zhu Wuwu also used Wan Sanqian. He needed his money to help Hulong Villa expand its power, hoard food and grass, and bribe generals.
And once he ascends to the throne, he will definitely not fulfill his promise to Wan Sanqian, but will kill him directly to prevent his scandal from being exposed, so they have a relationship of mutual use.
Therefore, except for these tool people, Zhu ignored the real friends around him, so he was extremely lonely inside.
People can't have friends, and they can't have no one to share their joys, sorrows and joys with.
Therefore, Zhu Wuwu took Haitang with him.
Because Haitang, like Duan Tianya, was the most loyal to him and was treated like a daughter by him.
…
The two immediately hit the road.
After Xiang Nan found out, he came to the Tianshan Secret Cave in advance and found that Su Xin had disappeared, leaving only an ice coffin at the scene.
Xiang Nan knew that it was Dongchang who took Su Xin away, but Shenhou would be too angry and take his anger out on Haitang.
Not only did they remove her from her position as a secret agent, but also expelled her from Dragon Protection Villa. They even sent people to keep a close eye on her, treating her as a traitor.
This is also the first time that Shen Hou reveals his cold and ruthless side.
But Xiang Nan is not ready to recover Su Xin.
It is said that it is easy to add icing on the cake but difficult to provide help in times of trouble. Only when Haitang is unlucky does it make more sense for him to show kindness. Moreover, only when Cao Zhengchun takes Su Xin away can the conflict between him and Zhu Wuwu be triggered.
Otherwise, the two of them would always try and try again and again. You kill me as a guard **** today, and I will kill one of your courtiers tomorrow. It would be meaningless at all.
…
Half a month passed quickly, and Xiang Nan received news that Shenhou had returned to Hulong Villa and conveyed the news that Haitang had been dismissed.
Zhang Jinjiu, the best detective in the world, immediately received the letter from Fei Ge and began to help him investigate the whereabouts of Miss Su Xin.
Soon, Xiang Nan also received a message from Haitang.
Xiang Nan opened it and saw that, as expected, Haitang cried to him in the letter about her experience.
She and Shen Hou went to Tianshan Mountain to visit Miss Su Xin. Along the way, Shen Hou told her about his grudges with Su Xin and Gu San Tong, and they were very happy.
But when they arrived at the Tianshan Secret Cave, they found that Su Xin was missing. So the **** decided that she was a traitor and had leaked his secret, which led to Su Xin not knowing.
Because in the past twenty years, he has only brought Haitang to Tianshan. In the past twenty years, he came alone every time without any incident. But this time, he brought Haitang, and something happened.
Now that Su Xin has disappeared, Haitang is the first person to be suspected.
So he immediately took his anger out on her.
And Haitang has always regarded Shenhou as a father, but now she is so suspicious and treated like this by him, how can she accept it, so she is simply full of grievances.
But she had no one to talk to, and at this time, she only had Xiang Nan.
"Yidao, why did this happen? Now I don't even have anyone to talk to. My adoptive father is the only person I trust and can rely on in my life. I didn't expect that he would break up with me now.
I am completely helpless now. I feel like there is no place for me in the world. One knife, what should I do now? "She asked Xiang Nan for help in her heart.
After Xiang Nan read the letter, he also sighed, feeling unfair for Haitang.
She regarded Shenhou as a father, but Shenhou only regarded her as a tool and only used and deceived her.
Therefore, when Su Xin disappeared, he immediately suspected Haitang without giving her any chance to defend herself.
It's really pitiful that Haitang, who was so loyal, ended up like this.
…
After lunch, Xiang Nan came to Guangfu Restaurant.
I saw Haitang drinking alone and her eyes were blurred.
"Haitang~" Xiang Nan called softly.
Haitang glanced at Xiang Nan, but she didn't expect that he could actually find her.
"Why did you drink so much?" Xiang Nan sat down and asked with concern.
"What can I do if I don't drink now?" Haitang cried, "Why doesn't even my adoptive father trust me, and even he doubts me?"
"It doesn't matter what he thinks. I know you are definitely not that kind of person." Xiang Nan looked at her and said solemnly, "Haitang, I will always believe in you."
"It's useless, you can't help me." Haitang waved her hand, "You can't change my adoptive father's opinion."
"Is the opinion of the adoptive father really that important?" Xiang Nan advised, "Haitang, he doubts you because he doesn't regard you as one of his own. As long as he regards you as one of his own, he will not doubt you.
If it were me, don't say I don't believe you would betray him, even if you did, I would stand by your side. If anyone is your enemy, I will kill him. "
