save the bachelors

Chapter 4218 4220 [Turning against each other]

During these two months, Xiang Nan also traveled back and forth to Shennongjia many times to observe the growth of Tianxiang cardamom.

After being fertilized with the feces of the Moon-crazy Beast, the growth of the cardamom was indeed good. The seedlings had even grown to more than one foot tall, and the whole plant was emerald green and very beautiful.

However, it has been more than half a year since the plants were planted, but they have yet to bloom and bear fruit, which surprised Xiang Nan.

"Did I miss the flowering season? Or is it like ginseng, which takes three or four years to bloom and five or six years to bear fruit?" he couldn't help but wonder.

Because the cardamom plant became extinct three thousand years ago, people don’t know much about it. They only know that it is a panacea for healing and can bring the dead back to life, but they don’t know much about its growth habits and reproduction methods, so they can only explore it slowly.

Therefore, Xiang Nan could only try it slowly. Fortunately, even if this one was ruined, he still had a seed and another chance to try.

……

After the New Year, the Iron-Hearted Godly Marquis Zhu Wusi went to Tianshan to visit Su Xin again.

This time, he brought Shangguan Haitang along as well.

In Xiang Nan's opinion, the reason he did this was because he was too lonely.

Zhu Wusi has no friends. No matter whether Wan Sanqian, Duan Tianya, Haitang, Yidao who are close to him on the surface, or Tokugawa Shogun, Yagyu Tajima no Kami and others who collude with him secretly, they are nothing more than tools and pawns to him.

He only has two old friends, one is Gu Santong and the other is Su Xin.

They were the only two who knew him from a humble beginning and understood his thoughts best.

The best friends a person has are those he or she met when he or she was still a nobody. When you make friends after you become successful, it is easy for other elements to be mixed in with you.

For example, Zhu Wusi 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, weapons, and armor for his 800,000-strong army.

But Wan Sanqian is not Zhu Wushi's friend, he just values ​​Zhu Wushi's status. After all, the top rich people need the support of top power to obtain.

If he helped Zhu Wusi become emperor, his business might have grown bigger, and he might have become as wealthy as Deng Tong, Fan Li, and Lu Buwei, and even have the opportunity to seize the throne.

Zhu Wusi also used Wan Sanqian. He needed his money to help Huolong Villa expand its power, stockpile food and bribe generals.

Once he ascends 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 benefit.

Therefore, apart from these tools, Zhu has no real friends around him, so he is extremely lonely inside.

People cannot live without friends, and cannot be without someone to share their joys and sorrows.

That's why Zhu Wusi brought Haitang.

Because Haitang, like Duan Tianya, is extremely loyal to him and is treated like his daughter by him.

……

The two of them then set off.

After Xiang Nan knew about it, he arrived at the Tianshan secret cave in advance, and found that Su Xin was missing, with only an ice coffin left at the scene.

Xiang Nan knew that it was Dongchang who took Suxin away, but Shenhou would be too angry and take his anger out on Haitang.

Not only was she dismissed from her position as a secret agent and expelled from Huolong Villa, but people were even sent to keep a close eye on her, treating her like a traitor.

This was also the first time that Shen Hou showed his cold and ruthless side.

But Xiang Nan is not planning to get Su Xin back.

Because this matter has more benefits than disadvantages for him and Haitang.

It is said that it is easier to add flowers to a beautiful woman than to send charcoal in the snow. It is only when Haitang is in trouble that his kindness is more meaningful. Moreover, Cao Zhengchun's taking Suxin away can trigger the conflict between him and Zhu Wushi.

Otherwise, the two of them would always be testing each other. If you kill one of my eunuchs today, I will report one of your court officials tomorrow. There would be no point in that.

……

Half a month passed quickly and Xiang Nan received news that Shen Hou had returned to Hulong Villa and conveyed the news that Haitang had been dismissed.

The world's number one detective, Zhang Jinjiu, also received the pigeon message as soon as possible and began to help him investigate the whereabouts of Miss Suxin.

Soon, Xiang Nan also received a pigeon message from Haitang.

Xiang Nan opened the letter and saw that, as expected, Haitang was crying and telling him about her experience in the letter.

She and Shen Hou went to Tianshan to visit Miss Su Xin. Along the way, Shen Hou told her about the grievances and love between him, Su Xin and Gu Santong, and he was very happy.

But when they arrived at the Tianshan secret cave, they found that Su Xin had disappeared. So Shen Hou believed that she was a traitor and leaked his secrets, which led to Su Xin's disappearance.

Because in the past twenty years, he had only brought Haitang to Tianshan. In the previous twenty years, he had come alone every time and nothing had happened. But this time, he brought Haitang with him and something went wrong.

Now that Su Xin is missing, Haitang is the first person worthy of suspicion.

So he took his anger out on her right away.

Haitang has always regarded Shenhou as her father, but now he is doubting and treating her like this. How can she accept this? So she feels very aggrieved.

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 foster father is the only person I trust and can rely on in my life, but I didn't expect that he would break up with me now.

I am totally lost now, and I feel like there is no place for me in the world. Yidao, what should I do now?" She asked Xiang Nan for help in her heart.

After reading the letter, Xiang Nan also sighed and felt that it was unfair for Haitang.

She regarded Shen Hou as a father, but Shen Hou only regarded her as a tool and used and deceived her.

Therefore, when Su Xin disappeared, he first suspected Hai Tang without giving her any chance to defend herself.

Poor Haitang, she was so loyal but ended up like this, it's really pitiful.

……

After work, Xiang Nan came to Guangfu Restaurant.

I saw Haitang drinking alone with drunken eyes.

"Haitang~" Xiang Nan called softly.

Haitang glanced at Xiang Nan and didn't expect that he could 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 godfather trust me? 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 and said, "You can't change my godfather's opinion."

"Is my foster father's opinion really that important?" Xiang Nan advised, "Haitang, he doubts you because he doesn't consider you as his own. If he had considered you as his own, he wouldn't have doubted you.

If it were me, I would not say that I don't believe you would betray him. Even if you did, I would stand by you. I would kill anyone who was against you."
