"Make?" Wei Lai's heart jumped, and such an unexpected answer made him not know what to do for a while.

"If you really feel that marrying you wronged me, then it is better to divorce your two wives, and the problem will be solved?" Xu Yue still did not look back, but said in a relaxed tone.

Sister Xu smiled. ”

"My father often said that wealth does not abandon the wife of bad chaff, if I really divorced Long Xiu and Qingyan in order to marry my sister, presumably my sister will not entrust me with peace of mind for life, so ......" Wei Lai carefully pondered the wording, and did not want to anger or hurt Xu Yue because of inappropriate words.

In Wei Lai's remaining memories of Xu Yue, Xu Yue seemed to care a lot about his feet that he was born unable to walk, and Wei Lai didn't want to touch the other party's sore spots.

"So, you're not going to marry me, are you?" Xu Yue's hands suddenly stretched out and pressed the wheels of his wheelchair, and Wei Lai, who was pushing the wheelchair forward, felt this and hurriedly let go of his hands.

The promenade of Xufu stretches, there are trees and flowers standing around, and the night breeze caresses and makes the garden rustle.

Xu Yue slowly turned the wheelchair, facing Wei Lai, the candle flame was sprinkled, shining on Xu Yue's side face, the stubborn and stubborn edges and corners of the girl who had not seen her for many years could still be seen on her face, but in addition, there was also a little more softness and charm - she had grown up.

Only then did such a thought come to Wei Lai's mind.

"But not because of your two wives, just because you don't want to marry me. Xu Yue said again, her tone was as calm as ever, but I don't know if it was her own illusion, Wei Lai vaguely noticed that when she said this, Xu Yue's eyes seemed to have a turbulent flash that was completely different from this calm.

"After you left Ningxiao City when you were seven years old, it didn't take long for a Taoist priest to come to Ningxiao City, who knocked on the door of the Xu family and told my father that he wanted to take me as an apprentice. ”

"His name is Meng Hangju, and he is the Supreme Elder of Guiyuan Palace, and I am his only closed disciple. ”

"I've learned a lot from practicing with him over the years......" Xu Yue slowly raised his head and looked at Wei Lai: "For example, those two women were still virgins that day......

Wei Lai's face changed slightly when he heard this, and the look in his eyes was a little strange.

Xu Yue focused on Wei Lai at this time, and the woman looked at Wei Lai with a look at the goods, and after a while, she said, "And you...... The boy is still alive. ”

"I think the name of you and the two of them as husband and wife is fake, so it is true to let them participate in the Hanxing Conference. ”

After Wei Lai was exposed to his calculations, his heart jumped, although he tried his best to be calm enough, the pupils in his eyes suddenly contracted, but he still did not hide from Xu Yue's eyes.

The corners of the girl's mouth, which had been grim since they met, rose slightly, and for the first time a slight smile appeared on her face.

"Looks like I guessed right. Xu Yue said softly, with a little imperceptible joy.

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, only then did he know that he was following Xu Yue's way, and was tricked out by her, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Sister Xu is still so smart and clever......"

Xu Yue looked at Wei Lai for a while, for a while.

Then she said, "I've heard of her." ”

This is a very beginningless sentence, Wei Lai couldn't figure out what she wanted to say, but out of vigilance that Fang had just been "calculated", Wei Lai chose to listen to Xu Yue very carefully.

"Lu Yan'er. The daughter of your father's friend. ”

"I've met her, and she's a very nice girl, so you like her, and I can understand her reluctance to accept this engagement. ”

"No......" When Wei Lai heard this, he subconsciously wanted to argue, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Xu Yue.

"You don't have to explain to me, I am a disciple of Guiyuan Palace, and the way I cultivate already needs to break the red dust, and it doesn't matter who you like, who you care about, or who you are willing to marry. ”

Xu Yue's words changed, and the expression on his face became solemn: "After your father died, Xu Xiaoning's three families ignored you, do you know why you have become a fragrant bait today, and the three families want to make a marriage contract with you?"

"Is it because of Jiang Huanshui?" Wei Lai replied with a frown.

Xu Yue nodded with satisfaction: "It's not too stupid, at least it's not too stupid." ”

Wei Lai smiled bitterly, and he didn't know if he should thank Xu Yue for his praise.

At this time, Xu Yue stretched out his hand to turn the wooden wheel on his wheelchair and slowly walked towards the front of the corridor. ”

Xu Yue paused, but after all, he still did not refuse Wei Lai's kindness, took back his hands on the wooden wheel, and opened his mouth again under Wei Lai's promotion: "Listen to my father, you don't seem to like Lord Zhou Mu very much?"

Wei Lai frowned and did not respond to this question.

"My father is like this, after your father left, Lu Guanshan took over the magistrate of Wupan City, and before the end of the year, he would come to Ningxiao City to visit Lord Zhoumu. My father just pulled Mr. Lu to talk about the world, these things were said by Mr. Lu and listened to my father, I think Mr. Lu should not lie to people. ”

"What does Sister Xu want to say?" Wei Lai's voice was a little colder at that time.

"Huh. Xu Yue didn't seem to hear the displeasure in Wei Lai's tone, she chuckled twice and said, "Mr. Lu said that you are a very sensible child, but you can't mention Lord Zhou Mu in front of you." ”

"Otherwise you would

Like a hedgehog, from harmless to human and animal to aggressive. ”

"In this way, Mr. Lu really understands you. ”

Wei Lai's body trembled, and he didn't speak anymore, but pushed Xu Yue's wheelchair with his head stuffy, walking through the stretching corridor, and the night blurred in the depths of the corridor, as if boundless.

"Ningzhou is about to die, and Xu Xiaoning, as the commander of the Sanxiao Army, all want to find a chance to break out of the cocoon and be reborn in this chaos. ”

"It is already an inevitable thing for the Wupan Dragon King to ascend to the position of Zhaoyue Zhengshen, and all the family gates in Ningzhou are now trying to find another way out, or move their clans or find another place of refuge. ”

"As the actual ruler of Ningzhou, the three families of Xu Xiaoning naturally know better than these big clans what the Wupan Dragon King will bring to Ningzhou after becoming the god of Zhaoyue, we are more like leaving this Ningzhou than anyone else, but the court does not want us to go. ”

"Since the Marquis of Chu recovered Mangzhou, Ningzhou has long ceased to be the gateway to the imperial court, but a jackal that threatens the imperial power. So the Marquis of Chu was summoned into Tailin City and beheaded outside the noon gate. The Sanxiao Army was cut again and again, and less than half of the heroes who dominated the entire northern territory were now left. But the imperial court is still not at ease, they want to trap the Sanxiao Army in the north, and use the hand of the Wupan Dragon King to slowly eat away at the Sanxiao Army and the Xu Xiaoning family behind them. ”

Hearing this, Wei Lai sneered: "My father used to say that the harm of the snake was a disaster in Ningzhou, and everyone laughed at my father back then, and he didn't know how to advance or retreat, and today the disaster is coming, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Xu Yue could hear the resentment in Wei Lai's words, she didn't answer this, but continued to speak on her own: "With the current situation in Dayan, if the Sanxiao Army wants to withdraw from Ningzhou, there is only one way to go - Fulong. ”

"Yuan Tong is old, and in recent years, he has been frequently bedridden, and the world knows that His Majesty the Emperor, who has been the crown prince for 28 years, may not be able to stay up for long. ”

"The battle between the crown prince and the five princes for the heir has intensified, and the flames of this war have burned all the way from Tailin City to Ningzhou. But no matter how big the Sanxiao Army is, no matter how much the three families of Xu Xiaoning hold the military and politics of Ningzhou, the master of Ningzhou is still the old man who lives in the state pastoral mansion after all. Xu Xiaoning's three families have their own calculations, and each has their own candidates who want to bet. But what is at stake is not the rise and fall of the family, but the survival or death. So we all want to find out what role the state pastor will play in this battle for succession, which is more important than the two royal highnesses who are fighting for the death. ”

But the state pastor didn't say or do it. Xu Xiaoning couldn't guess and couldn't figure it out, so he could only press this treasure on you. As long as you are tied to one of the three families, then your will is enough to represent the will of the state pastor, and it is also enough to represent the will of Ningzhou. ”

This is not the first time Wei Lai has heard such a statement.

Ji Huanxi of Gutong City, Ah Cheng, the lobbyist of the crown prince, and Xu Yue in front of him, all said in a straightforward or obscure way about his importance to this battle for the heir and the state pastor.

But Wei Lai was never able to agree with their logic, he shook his head, and said calmly: "You overestimate my status in Jiang Huanshui's heart. ”

The girl in the wheelchair in front of her was silent for a while when she heard this.

And when she spoke again, what she said made Wei Lai's heart tremble.

She asked, "Do you think they're all stupid?"

......

This is not a particularly tricky question.

Whether it is Xu Xiaoning's three families, or the prince and the queen of gold, if they can achieve this position, they must have wisdom and courage that ordinary people can't reach, which is beyond doubt.

And since they believe that Wei Lai is enough to influence Jiang Huanshui's decision, and have made a lot of efforts to this end, it is obvious that such speculation is not groundless, they must have some information in their hands that Wei Lai did not know or evidence that is enough to prove Wei Lai's value to Jiang Huanshui.

Perhaps because of Jiang Huanshui's instinctive resistance, Wei Lai was only instinctively resisting whenever someone mentioned this matter in the past, but today, after being reminded by Xu Yue, Wei Lai suddenly realized that he seemed to have missed some extremely important information.

The girl in front of her also seemed to feel Wei Lai's disturbed thoughts at this moment, she stretched out her hand to stop the wheelchair, and then looked back at Wei Lai: "I won't be anyone's lobbyist, I just want you to know that the Xu family is the only existence you can trust in Ningxiao City, except for Lord Zhou Mu." ”

I have to say that Xu Yue's words were extremely straightforward, so straightforward that even Wei Lai, who was stunned by his previous thoughts, couldn't help but glance at Xu Yue in surprise after hearing this.

Regardless of whether Xu Yue's words are true or not, but saying such a statement so bluntly, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a lobbyist with clumsy means, lobbying others.

But the girl who turned her head looked at Wei Lai's calm gaze, but the little strangeness that rose in Wei Lai's heart disappeared in an instant, it was an extremely strange feeling, so strange that it was difficult for you to have the slightest suspicion of the other party. But Wei Lai still realized that such feelings were not wise, and he did not want to be drawn by the feelings that suddenly rose in his heart, so he asked in a low voice, "Why should I believe you?"

Xu Yue seemed to have expected the other party to ask this question, she stared at Wei Lai's eyes, and calmly responded: "I am willing to tell you the truth......

"It also depends on the fact that the Xu family doesn't need this dragon support. ”

"I studied under Guiyuan Palace, under the door of Meng Hanghu, with this relationship alone, the Dayan Imperial Court did not dare to tear its face with the Xu family. ”

Wei Lai frowned, the name of Guiyuan Palace was naturally thunderous, it was the Divine Sect that should be ranked in the top ten in the Northern Realm. but

At the beginning, Wei Lai of the Zhao family in Wupan City still remembered vividly, Zhao Gongbai thought that his son could sit back and relax when he climbed the high branch of Wupan Academy, but on the day he left Wupan City, he was slaughtered by Luo Xiangwu, the chief banner of Cang Yuwei, Wei Lai did not think that Guiyuan Palace, which was still slightly behind Wuya Academy in the ranking, could have such a big face and could keep the Xu family in the bloody wind of the battle for succession.

Wei Lai's performance was seen by Xu Yue, and he quickly guessed his thoughts, Xu Yue didn't wait for Wei Lai to speak, and then said: "It may be inappropriate to say this, your childhood sweetheart's status in the Boundless Academy may not be low, but it is far worse than me." What's more, they fancy Lu Yan'er, as for the kid surnamed Zhao, it's just a buy-one-get-one-free benefit. ”

"Boundless Academy and Dayan are more than thousands of miles apart, and when the news reaches Boundless Academy, I don't know how many years have passed, and when Boundless Academy responds, there will be many variables during the period, and it is impossible to predict. I'm different, and you don't have to worry about my Xu family's situation. ”

Xu Yue's tone was calm, but there was an absolute confidence in this calm.

Wei Lai was secretly frightened, he probably understood the opportunity for Lu Yan'er to be favored by the Boundless Academy, it was an elder in the Boundless Academy who took a fancy to Lu Yan'er's talent and personally named him to include him in the door, so that the Boundless Academy personally sent someone to pick up Lu Yan'er, and he could have such treatment, how could Lu Yan'er have the identity of a personal disciple in the Boundless Academy. But listening to Xu Yue's tone, he seemed to be extremely disdainful of Lu Yan'er's status, which made Wei Lai have to secretly think about what kind of status the other party had in the Guiyuan Palace.

"Although my father is a little babbling on weekdays, his friendship with Mr. Wei back then was not fake. I will return to Guiyuan Palace after the New Year, and I don't think I will return in a short time, and due to the restrictions of the Dao Law of Guiyuan Palace, I will cut off all things in Hongchen sooner or later. You should make this marriage contract, and he really tears his face with the court or some big people one day, maybe this relationship can still save your life. Think of it as my father's misdeeds to make up for what happened to your father back then. Xu Yue said again slowly, and then she didn't wait for Wei to respond, she seemed to suddenly remember something and said: "There is still ......"

"I can understand that you want to find an opportunity for your two confidantes to participate in the Hanxing Conference, but your identity is there, I don't know if they can hold such an opportunity, but if it is known by some people, they will become a weakness that threatens you. ”

Wei Lai's face changed suddenly when he heard this, he had never thought about this before, but now that he realized his "value", Wei Lai suddenly thought that the identity he gave them would become a talisman for them.

"Go and revoke this guarantee, the Xu family will make this guarantee on your behalf, and they can participate in the Hanxing Conference as promised. As for the ranking and chance, it can only depend on themselves. Xu Yue whispered, then turned the wooden wheel of his wheelchair again and slowly moved forward.

Seeing this, Wei Lai hurriedly followed, and only after a short period of silence did he say sincerely: "Thank you." ”

"It's just to make up for my father's guilt. Xu Yue said without replying: "Remember to bring the dowry to my house tomorrow and decide this matter." broke off the illusions of the Xiao Ning family, and also told the world about your relationship with the Xu family. As for the relationship between you and your two companions, my Xu family will have a way to clarify it, so you don't need to think about it. ”

Xu Yue's tone was not tough, but it carried a calmness that is characteristic of stating certain facts.

Wei Lai smiled wryly: "I don't seem to have agreed to this yet, right?"

At this time, Wei Lai had already pushed Xu Yue to the door of the Xu Mansion, and Xu Yue suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the door of the Xu family's mansion: "Do you remember what you said in front of this mansion nine years ago?"

Wei Lai frowned, nine years ago should have been when he was seven years old, and it was also the last time he saw Xu Yue - after that, Xu Yue was a disciple who was taken back by the elders of Guiyuan Palace, and he was not in Ningxiao City all the year round, and then he came to Ningxiao City several times Wei Lai did not see each other, and then, Wei Shou and his wife were killed, and Wei Lai never came to Ningxiao City again.

He thought carefully about his memories of that year, and was a little unsure of which thing Xu Yue was referring to.

"You already gave me the answer nine years ago. Xu Yue's voice sounded again, she turned her head to look at Wei Lai, and the hot light in her clear eyes suddenly lit up.

The light stung Wei Lai, and some dusty memories suddenly poured out, and Wei Lai remembered the agreement he made with the girl in front of the Xu Mansion in the snowstorm that year.

The look on his face was a little stunned, in fact, he didn't forget it, but such an agreement was too nonsense after all, especially after his father's accident, Wei Lai had almost forgotten all kinds of past things, and only regarded these things as nonsense. And at this moment, I realized that some things were unintentional by the speaker, but intentional by the listener.

He was dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond.

Xu Yue took a deep look at Wei Lai, who was silent at the moment, and said softly again: "You don't have to think about it, I will break off Hongchen sooner or later, this is just for me to repay you for your willingness to stand up for me back then." ”

"I cultivate the way of cause and effect, pay attention to the order of cause and effect, you plant the cause, I return your fruit, you deserve it, I give peace of mind. ”

Wei Lai couldn't understand what Xu Yue said about the way of cause and effect, he pondered for a while, and decided to put aside this topic that made him in a trance, he stared at Xu Yue and said, "Why are you all so sure that Jiang Huanshui will make concessions for me?"

Of course, Xu Yue noticed Wei Lai's evasion, in fact, the best method she practiced was to perceive people's hearts and deduce all things, but she did not expose the young man's mind, but after hearing this question, her face sank, and then she said quietly: "Six years ago, ......"
