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 growing really well. The seedlings have even grown to more than a foot tall. The whole 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 yet, 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.
Since the natural 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 people back to life. However, they don’t know much about its growth habits and reproduction methods, so they can only explore it slowly.
?So 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 Iron God Hou Zhuwu went to Tianshan again to visit Su Xin.
?This time, he brought Shangguan Haitang with him.
From Xiang Nan’s point of view, 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 has only two old friends, one is Gu Santong and the other is Su Xin.
They are the only two people who have known him since childhood and understand his thoughts best.
A person’s best friends are those who have known each other 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, and 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 a 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.
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 are in 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.
That’s why Zhu Wuli brought Haitang with him.
Because Haitang, like Duan Tianya, is the most loyal to him and is treated like a daughter by him.
…
The two of them immediately set out on 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 was too angry and turned his anger on Haitang.
Not only did he remove her from her position as a secret agent and expel her from Hulong Villa, he even sent people to keep a close eye on her, treating her as a traitor.
?This is also the first time that Shenhou reveals his cold and ruthless side.
But Xiang Nan was not prepared to recover Su Xin.
Because this matter has more advantages than disadvantages for him and Haitang.
It is said that it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help in times of need. Only when Haitang is unlucky does it make more sense for him to show kindness. Furthermore, only when Cao Zhengchun takes away Su Xin can the conflict between him and Zhu Wuli be triggered.
Otherwise, the two of them would always be testing each other. You kill me as a guard **** today, and I will kill one of your courtiers tomorrow, which is totally meaningless.
…
? Half a month passed quickly, and Xiang Nan received the news that Shenhou had returned to Hulong Villa and conveyed the news that Haitang had been dismissed.
?The world''s best detective, Zhang Jinjiu, 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 letter from Haitang.
Xiang Nan opened it and took a look. Sure enough, Haitang cried to him in the letter about her experience.
She and Shen Hou went to Tianshan Mountain to visit girl 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 Mountain. 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 suspicious.
So he immediately got angry at 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. 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 also break up with me now.
I am completely helpless now, feeling that there is no place for me between heaven and earth. One knife, what should I do now? "She asked Xiang Nan for help in her heart.
After reading the letter, Xiang Nan also sighed, feeling unfair for Haitang.
?She regards Shenhou as a father, but Shenhou only treats her as a tool and only uses and deceives 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 alone, drunk and confused.
“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 now if I don''t drink?" Haitang cried, "Why doesn''t even my foster father trust me, and why does he doubt 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. "
