One Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty-Eight: Appointment and Show of Goodwill
"Really?" Wang Xuewu took a sip of tea with a smile, without any anger at all. It seemed that what he had just faced was not rejection, but a pleasant conversation.
The maid murmured in a low voice: "Just now, it was so obvious just now..."
"Some words don't just mean words, they have to use your brain."
Wang Xuewu chuckled, stretched out his hand to rub her head, and explained slowly: "He is a smart man, but it is precisely because he is smart that he can only answer like this."
"I don't understand." The maid narrowed her eyes and shook her head in confusion.
Wang Xuewu folded his hands and said softly: "When he said he was in a hurry to take office, he was actually reminding me that there was someone behind him, perhaps the master.
On the surface, he said that he was going to Dongnai County to take up a post. In fact, he was saying that he had already sided with a certain side and hoped that I would not try to recruit him.
Later, I invited him again to remind him that this prince doesn't care about this. As long as he is willing to surrender, I can treat him as ignorant.
Yan Wan's words of 'maybe' are indeed ambiguous, but what he really means is to tell this prince that he is actually helpless and does not really want to agree. "
"He has a difficulty. What is this difficulty? It makes him afraid to do this."
As the second prince spoke, his pupils gradually lost focus and he fell into deep thought: "Family? No, Yan Wan's only brother was killed by a demon.
friend? It is impossible for a man like him to have friends who can lead to life and death. Martial arts? That’s not right. What the person behind him can give him, this prince can also give him, and even more...
Could it be...his own life? This is probably the case, otherwise he would never be so cautious. It can be seen that the reason why he was selected by Zhenwu Pavilion was not because Song Yuntian cherished his talents, but..."
call……
Thinking of this, he suddenly came back to his senses, his indifference swept away, replaced by unparalleled solemnity and solemnity: "Zhenwu Pavilion, Song Yuntian...Father? The person behind him, could it be Father?"
wrong!
Suddenly, he rejected the idea.
The reason is simple. The emperor doesn't mind their fighting, and even has some encouragement in it. If Yan Wang was the emperor's man, he could have made it clear just now without covering up like this.
Since he is not the emperor, he shows this attitude.
"Brother Imperial?" A figure suddenly appeared in the second prince's head.
However, this idea also did not last long.
Because the eldest prince Wang Xuewu is the legitimate eldest son and has many supporters in the government and the public, there is no need to care about Yan Wan, and even if he does, he will not use such despicable methods.
"The third child?"
The second prince's brows furrowed. Could it be that he also wanted to vacate a position?
Wang Xuexin was born the latest, and the cake has already been divided up. If you want to get involved, you must take a risk, such as making a secret plan...
"Ha"
Wang Xuewu sneered, so what if Yan Wan is yours? For such a talented person to fall into your hands, it's like a pearl covered in dust. You actually want him to be a secret agent and use such despicable means as poison control.
In his opinion, for people like Yan Wan, the 'degree' must be grasped well. If it is too tight, it will force him to jump over the wall, and if it is too loose, he will have a plan.
It is best not to use forceful measures, otherwise it will be like using a chicken to lay eggs, and in the end the chicken will fly and the egg will fly.
It is better to block than to open up.
Since Yan Wang is a person who cares about interests, he should put the benefits clearly. Being simple and crude will often... produce better results.
"poison?"
The second prince knew the case well, waved his hand to summon a woman, and whispered a few instructions. Then he took out a jade pendant from his arms and warned: "Remember, this person has a soft-spoken personality, so you should weigh it yourself."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The man's eyes were solemn and he nodded clearly, because he had never seen anyone who His Majesty was so interested in.
"Zhenwu Pavilion..." The second prince's eyes flashed: "I finally took one step ahead of you, brother emperor, and saw the breakthrough point in advance."
The power of the Zhenwu Pavilion lies in its system that is independent of the court and has its own system.
And he has enough power, not just some Infinite Realm boss walking around, but lions, tigers, leopards, wolves and sixth to ninth grade warriors all over the world.
If this power is in hand, it can be called the strongest trump card.
Even enough to bridge the gap between the second prince and the eldest prince.
——
Donglai County.
The sky was a little gloomy, and it seemed like it would rain heavily at any moment.
"Haha, it's true."
Yan Wan looked at the invitation in his hand meaningfully, his tone was playful, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Since the food and wine are so good, how can I let down your good intentions?"
He arrived at Donglai County half an hour ago. As soon as he confirmed his residence, the invitation was sent over in time. If the other party hadn't been prepared in advance, who would have believed it?
Under the respectful gaze of his servants, Yan Wan walked to the door of the most luxurious restaurant in the city. After a quick look around, he immediately noticed something strange.
"Are you... showing your kindness to me?" He smiled, his eyes glancing over these people's faces one by one, and he went straight to the top position and sat down with a golden sword.
"See my lord..."
Except for Tang Qiangyun, the old man on the left who had the same official rank as him, everyone else stood up and neatly bowed to Yan Wang. From the perspective of etiquette alone, there was really no fault in it.
"No gift."
Yan Wan swept past Mu Qing in the middle on the right, Liu Qing behind him on the left, and Li Yang, the leopard-headed man he had specially promoted and was the only one to survive.
Seeing him rubbing his fingertips, he looked away without revealing any trace, raised his wine glass and said loudly: "I would like to toast you all first. I hope there will be no evil in Donglai County from now on."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts suddenly became alive. There's something in Yan Wan's words. What does the evil thing mean? demon? I'm afraid it's more than that, right?
"Hey, why aren't the people from Sun Moon Pavilion and Lengguang Valley here?" Yan Wan pretended to be surprised and looked around.
Li Yang stood up smartly and said with a dry smile: "Haha, if you tell me, this is a family banquet, a family banquet..."
"Oh, it's a family banquet." Yan Wu nodded with a half-smile and said nothing, but the twinkling look in his eyes made people unconsciously feel scared.
They finally understood what the "evil evil spirit" in Yan Huan's words just now meant.
Family dinner.
It means that they and Yan Wan are a family. Since they are a family, they have to share the same hatred. And the next sentence is tantamount to pointing out the theme for them.
What if, what if Li Yang didn't say this?
Everyone couldn't help but murmur in their hearts, fearing that Yan Wan wouldn't mind making some conspiracies and causing them to fight among themselves...
During this period of time, these people also found out what happened in Jinyu Mansion. Even if Mu Qing and others denied it, they also noticed some clues.
Isn't it too much of a coincidence that Shen Qianyi, a half-demon... was able to kill Zhang Dejun and wipe out a sect, only to reveal his identity at the last moment?
Could it be that Yan Wang was deliberately indulgent or even manipulative?
If this is the case, will Yan Wan still prepare to play this trick as the leader of Zhenwu Pavilion in Donglai County?
It's true that they were prepared, but since Yan Wan could pull off such a trick, it didn't mean that they wouldn't try another trick.
If they take ten thousand steps back, even if Yan Wang fails, they will join forces to overthrow him and drive him out of Donglai County.
But they have a backstage, so if they change places, there is no loss. But as local snakes, they will suffer no matter what.
To sum up, everyone secretly exchanged glances and reached an agreement unanimously - to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
It's true that their lips are broken and their teeth are cold, but it's enough for their aristocratic families to stick together. It's okay for the sect to be friends. Do you want them to live and die together?
It's better to wash up and sleep.
Of course, there are those who remain on the sidelines, and naturally there are also those who are close to Yan Wang and are ready to use this opportunity to build a relationship, such as Mu Qing, who has received a lot of benefits before.
It doesn't matter if you have evil intentions, everyone is a playful person, and their laughter and jokes make the atmosphere lively.
After having had enough wine and food, both parties left the venue one after another in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere. In just half an hour, only Tang Qiangyun, Liu Qing, and Li Yang were left.
"Before, I went to Ghost City for a walk and participated in a sword trial meeting." Yan Wan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Although he won the first place, he was seriously injured.
On the way back to Beijing, I encountered a sneak attack by some unscrupulous people, but my life was fine. Find bookstore www.zhaoshuyuan.com
After returning to Beijing, he mobilized the power of the Zhenwu Pavilion to search for the identities of those people, and accidentally discovered that the martial arts skills performed by those attackers were quite consistent with the characteristics of a certain sect in Donglai County. "
Li Yang understood the idea and immediately took over the words, listing and explaining the famous sects in Donglai County one by one: "The martial arts of Sun Moon Pavilion can cause strange phenomena in the heaven and earth when activated. It is so powerful that it should not match.
It's possible in Lengguang Valley. After all, the warriors from there usually do sneaky things. There’s also the Purple Qi Residence and the Ba Dao Sect…”
Yan smiled and said calmly: "So, this matter needs to be investigated in detail. Send people, I want more detailed information."
Li Yang nodded in response: "Yes, sir."
"Master Mu, please move around more and help me out these days." Yan Huan looked at Mu Qing and said with a smile.
"nature."
Mu Qing's heart trembled. Of course he understood what Yan Wan meant. He just wanted to take advantage of this period of time to visit various forces and inquire about their movements and opinions to avoid anything going wrong.
Yan Wang glanced at Liu Qing: "Master Liu, the Jinyu Mansion should be quite peaceful recently, right?"
Compared with Li Yang, Liu Qing is not very submissive. He and Yan Wan are not in the same system, but this does not prevent him from showing his closeness to Yan Wan.
"Thanks to your help, the demons and evil spirits have been eliminated. The people of Jinyu are so grateful that they even built a temple of immortality for you to provide a memorial tablet for your blessing."
After all, the imperial court is a family.
If they fall out with Zhenwu Pavilion, those aristocratic families will definitely not take them, the imperial officials, seriously. It is good to evade power, and even worse, it is not impossible.
For example, Tang Qiangyun was an example. Peng Yuanxing and the others colluded with the aristocratic family and directly took over all the interests of Donglai County, completely treating them as puppets.
