Why is Xin Buren so 'thirsty for talent' and trying his best to win over his son-killing enemy, but Yichen has never explained this matter in public.

"Yichen killed Xin Suan, I don't know what happened exactly, but Xin Buren did have the intention of recruiting Yichen. ”

Gongsun Hong saw that Prince Rui was staring at his eyes, and couldn't help but slow down his speech:

"It is precisely because Yichen did not join the Netherworld Gate that those meaningless rumors appeared. This point, from the attitude of Xuantian Sect, can be seen a little clue. ”

After a strict investigation of Yichen, Xuantian Sect has not found any evidence that Yichen joined the Netherworld Sect.

So, a few days ago, Xuantian Sect's inner gate elder Xuan Dao, because he mistakenly regarded Yichen as a disciple of Xuantian Sect who betrayed his teacher and apostated, he resigned as the great elder of Xuantian Sect and became an ordinary elder of the inner gate.

This matter damaged the prestige of the Great Elder, so it was not publicized, and not many people in the rivers and lakes knew about it.

When Gongsun Hong learned the news, Xuantian Sect specially sent someone to pass the news over.

As for whether Prince Rui knows the truth, Gongsun Hong does not know.

"Xuantian Sect wants to save face, even if this kind of thing exists, they may not stand up and accuse. It's just that this king is curious, since Yichen has not joined the Netherworld Gate, how can he live so freely......"

The implication is that most of the people who offended the Youyin Gate were assassinated, and Yichen has not suffered any disasters or diseases until now, so he must have something to do with the Youyin Gate.

"Lord Rui, what do you want to say?"

General Yan on the side, seeing that Prince Rui was chasing after him, couldn't help but interject and said:

"I don't know if Lord Rui has seen that Yichen dared to rescue the city lord of Gongsun from the hidden powerhouse Mei Boss, just with this courage, it is worthy of my admiration!"

General Yan is the general of the Tianluo Kingdom, and he belongs to the highest rank among the military attachés, although he is not as powerful as the royal family of King Rui, but he is also a high authority.

Today, the situation in the City Lord's Mansion is critical, with his prestige as a dignified general, there is no place to use it, if it is not for Yichen to resolve the crisis, I am afraid that it will be difficult for General Yan himself to escape the fate of being killed.

The generals respect the heroes, although they have not seen Yichen before, but the courage of Yichen to come forward at the critical moment has deeply moved General Yan.

"General Yan thinks too much, this king just has a few questions and wants to be answered, that's all. "Lord Rui did not argue with General Yan, but took the initiative to appease the other party.

"If you have any questions, Gongsun Hong knows everything, and I hope you can be satisfied. Yavin's bar"

Gongsun Hong didn't want to see these two big men clashing in the City Lord's Mansion, so he calmed things down and tried his best to deal with them.

Yichen, who was sitting next to Gongsun Hong, leaned back in his chair as if nothing happened, as if he was dozing off, not caring about their conversation at all.

"Okay, this king saw Suo Ming from the Nether Gate enter the City Lord's Mansion, I don't know what happened?"

was obviously talking about Yichen, but Lord Rui suddenly changed the topic again,

"Yes, I don't really understand this, the city lord of Gongsun has never dealt with the Youyin Gate, how can he ......"

General Yan, who was still arguing with Lord Rui just now, also echoed it at this moment.

When he was ordered to enter Tianyun City, he saw Suo Ming and his party at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and he felt strange at that time, and deliberately stopped them from entering the City Lord's Mansion.

The so-called congratulatory gift, everyone knows that it is a gimmick, as the city lord of the Tianluo Kingdom, even if Gongsun Hong has collusion with the Youyin Gate, it is impossible to invite them in so blatantly.

"Actually, I don't know the true purpose of Suo Ming, I let them in to see what will happen, besides, if Suo Ming insists on entering the City Lord's Mansion, in such a chaotic situation, there is no way to stop it. ”

Gongsun Hong said calmly: "It's a pity that Suo Ming didn't do anything, he came bizarre and weird, and he walked inexplicably...... Perhaps, that's what he's for. ”

"How do you say this?" This time, General Yan rushed to ask, and Gongsun Hong's words made him confused.

Suo Ming, the master of the Youyin Gate Affairs Hall, is said to be the cultivation of the strong man of the War King, and led a group of subordinates to run thousands of miles to the City Lord's Mansion, but he stood on the square for a few hours, and he didn't even say hello, and left quietly.

Even if it's really a congratulatory gift, at least you should have a cup of wedding wine, and you can't drink a cup of tea, but nothing happened.

"No matter what Suo Ming does, even if it is a small thing, it will leave traces and provide a basis for our judgment, and only by doing nothing can we have no way to judge, isn't it the best thing to do?"

Gongsun Hong smiled bitterly, this was also a headache for him.

"It seems to make sense...... General Yan nodded yes, if it is to disrupt the situation, the best thing to do is to do nothing until the right opportunity arises.

Sometimes not doing it is more important than doing it, there will be flaws when you do it, and if you don't do it, you will leave infinite reverie and make people confused.

"Not necessarily, I have long heard that Tianyun City is heavily defended, the soldiers are well-trained, and the main army of Gongsun City is strict, even surpassing the palace of the capital. ”

Without waiting for General Yan to finish speaking, Lord Rui coughed, his face pale.

When Gongsun Hong was approached by Mei Lao**, the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion sacrificed their lives to protect him, which made Lord Rui have an indescribable taste in his heart.

Envy, jealousy, hatred...... It seems to have all of them, so it's a bit yin and yang when he speaks: "When I saw it today, it really reminded people of another rumor, that is, Gongsun Hong has the intention of rebellion." ”

"No, why didn't I see it?" General Yan was taken aback by Lord Rui's words, and stared straight at Lord Rui with wide eyes.

"Aren't you also here to investigate this matter?" Lord Rui rolled his eyelids and said angrily.

Gongsun Hong is still very calm, General Yan is in a hurry, wouldn't it allow Gongsun Hong to have more time to think about countermeasures.

The military general is a well-developed limb and a simple mind, and he can't hold his breath at the slightest thing, Rui Wang Ye deliberately went around, from the Xuaniron copper mine to Yichen, and pulled Suo Ming in, but now he is saying the rumors of rebellion, just to catch Gongsun Hong off guard.

With Gongsun Hong's city government, it is easy to travel only when it is urgent, but I didn't expect that Lord Rui didn't see the effect after going around for a long time, and he was disrupted by General Yan.

Rui Wang Ye glanced at Gongsun Hong, who had a calm face, and couldn't wait to kick General Yan over.

"At the behest of His Majesty, I came to help the City Lord's Mansion relieve the siege, but I did not receive any orders to investigate the rebellion. ”

General Yan showed an extremely innocent look in his eyes, and in order to clarify himself, he said to Gongsun Hong again:

"Gongsun City Lord, you know that I am a fierce general, and it is not ambiguous to charge into battle, and it is reasonable to dispatch troops, but I will not do some brain-using tricks in investigating and handling cases...... How could His Majesty entrust me with such an errand?"

General Yan has always been upright, and he didn't think carefully about the meaning of Lord Rui's words, so he was eager to justify himself, completely disrupting Lord Rui's plan.

"Sure enough, it's stupid!" Lord Rui couldn't help but scold.

Originally, he wanted to use General Yan to make Gongsun Hong feel the pressure from the palace, so that Prince Rui could take the initiative.

was confessed by General Yan, but it seemed that Lord Rui was scheming and insidious.

As a last resort, Lord Rui had no choice but to laugh at himself: "It's this king who is a villain." ”

"It's okay, Lord Rui is worried about the country and the people, and it's understandable to be cautious. ”

Gongsun Hong smiled indifferently and said calmly.

From the moment Lord Rui entered the City Lord's Mansion, Gongsun Hong had a premonition that there was some trouble.

There is no way to find out the origin of the rebellion, but there have always been discussions in the capital.

The City Lord's Mansion is secretly expanding the army, although it is done secretly, there are always some clues that have been discovered, no matter what Gongsun Hong's purpose is, this matter will be criticized.

Coupled with the rumors of the Xuaniron Copper Mine, it is even more convincing that Gongsun Hong already has extremely rare and precious resources, as long as he relies on the Xuaniron Copper Mine, it is enough to attract any force on the Tianluo Continent.

The most important point is that Gongsun Hong has never handed over a single piece of Xuaniron and copper ore to the imperial court, and he has not even reported it.

As a result, the rumors were used by more people, and people kept mentioning the matter in the court.

If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty rarely went to court, and he was unwilling to take care of these things, I am afraid that Gongsun Hong at this moment would have become a prisoner of the Tianluo Kingdom.

Lord Rui deliberately brought up this matter again, not because he was a villain, but for another purpose.

Gongsun Hong will not take the initiative to pick up the stubble before he finds out the mind of Lord Rui.

"Lord Rui said that I am a fool, then I must be a fool. However, smart Lord Rui, can you sue me, who is that Yaoyi?"

Being scolded by Lord Rui, General Yan was furious and held back for a while before he thought of a counterattack.

"Who is Yaoyi, how can this king know, your brain is in water!"

A resentful glint flashed in Lord Rui's eyes, and it was quickly covered up again.

"I only found out today that his name is Yao Qi, but last month I saw the same dark cloud flash into the Rui Wang's Mansion, and I thought it was going to rain. ”

General Yan had a hint of smugness on his face, and he didn't dare to argue with Lord Rui head-on, so it was okay to add a disgusting piece to him occasionally.

"Nonsense, what kind of dark clouds, this king has never seen it at all!" Prince Rui looked calm and reprimanded General Yan.

"Oh, probably I read it wrong, please forgive Lord Rui. ”

General Yan is competitive but not stubborn, seeing that Lord Rui doesn't look like he is lying, he thinks he should have misunderstood.

Come to think of it, Yao Yi is a super powerhouse in the Xiyuan Continent, how can he have anything to do with a sick prince of the Tianluo Kingdom.

"Forget it...... Gongsun Hong, this king knows that you are loyal to the king and love the people, and you are open-minded, but the rebellion will damage your reputation and will also cause your majesty's suspicion, if you are willing, this king can arrange a suitable time to help you clarify this matter. ”

Perhaps because he was accustomed to General Yan's unscrupulous words, Lord Rui did not hold on to it, but instead proposed a proposal to Gongsun Hong with great concern.
