Lu Yi looked at the person who came, and stretched out his hand to signal the two of them not to be nervous, because Lu Yi knew very well that if the cultivation of the person was not good for him, I am afraid that he would be a corpse now.

Sure enough, seeing that Lu Yi was so calm, the man laughed loudly: "Human butcher, you also have times when you are nervous and scared? Why? Are you still worried that the old man will make a move on an offspring? You are not as good as this doll, look, people themselves are not afraid at all, what do you two think you two are fooling about?"

"Sima's predecessors are heroes, and anything can be done, but the younger generations have to guard against it. Although the human butcher seemed nervous, he was not polite to the other party.

"It turned out to be the ancestor of the Eastern Extension Kingdom, the predecessor of Sima? The junior Lu Yi is polite. Hearing the butcher point out the other party's surname, Lu Yi didn't know who it was, he had a trademark smile on his face, and he started the old trick of playing a good baby again.

Lu Yi had asked Ren Tuzi in detail about the East Expansion Kingdom after Feng Qizi took Zhang Yongwei away last time, especially about their founding ancestor, Sima Hongqian. Sima Hongqian, a native of the Western Regions, a dual-line monk of fire and wood, is ruthless, and the original territory and national strength of the Eastern Expansion Kingdom established by one hand are not strong, but he has recruited a group of notorious high-level monks in the Western Regions to squeeze out a large piece of territory through various disgraceful means, and with the gradual improvement of his cultivation, his ambition is also more and more expanded, and his hand is stretched out longer and longer, as long as the surrounding neighbors are remembered by him, most of them will not be able to escape his clutches. In this way, over the years, those forces that were not as strong as Sima Hongqian were either annexed, or they abandoned their family business and left for other places, and finally achieved the reputation of a first-class power in the Eastern Expansion and Western Regions, and Sima Hongqian's "prestige" also spread far and wide. The matter of Qilin City is actually that Sima Hongqian is not dead, but he is afraid of Chen Yunzi's strength, so he instigated Zhang Yongwei to unite the two Shayao families, and Xu Zhi came to ask for directions with heavy profits. If Chen Yunzi doesn't react, sooner or later he will be swallowed up by the Eastern Extension Kingdom and the entire sandstone area. The Sha Yao family didn't know the relationship between Zhang Yongwei and Dongtuoguo, so they got on the thief ship in a daze, if it weren't for Lu Yi's arrival this time, the two families would have been the ghost who died unjustly in the end. not only carried the infamy for others, but in the end, he had to end up with a bleak end of ruined family. Therefore, when Lu Yi and Tu Zi plotted against the two, after mentioning the eastern expansion of the country, the two did not hesitate to turn against the water.

Sima Hongqian looked at Lu Yi with a smile, "Doll, the old man has been secretly observing you for a long time, since the last time you played Zhang Yongji, the old man has paid attention to you, over the years, your diligence and your talent have been seen by the old man, and your affairs in the Southern Regions and the alliance have made the old man look at you with admiration, it is not for nothing that you can get the weight of the old man, the old man is very interested in you, do you have any ideas to cooperate with the old man?"

"Senior Sima has won the award, how can the kid talk about cooperation with a great ability like the senior? If the senior has something to tell the kid to do, it's almost the same. Lu Yi did not directly agree to Sima Hongqian's proposal, but complimented the other party without a trace.

"Hehe, you little slippery don't come with me like this, the old man won't be fooled by you when he's old. Since the old man said that he wants to cooperate with you, he must use some of your strengths to help the old man strive for certain interests, there is no free food in the world, and there is no work in vain, since you have contributed, you should get the corresponding benefits, doll, do you want to shirk this? Why? Do you look down on the old man or do you think that the old man is not worthy of cooperating with you?" Sima Hongqian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he forced Lu Yi to a dead end with a few words, and if he cooperates with me, he will have meat to eat, and if he doesn't cooperate with me, he will look down on me, a monk in the late stage of spiritual building, and the consequences may be very serious.

"In that case, then the kid just has no choice. I don't know how Senior Sima wants the kid to cooperate with you?" Lu Yi said with a smile, not taking Sima Hongqian's threat to heart at all.

"Don't say that it's like I'm threatening you, if you let Lao Chen know, there will be my good fruit to eat?!" Sima Hongqian smiled brighter than Lu Yi, "The old man is looking for you because he wants to eat a big fruit with you, and I am limited to the agreement with some old guys of the same level, so it is inconvenient to make a move, so I can only leave it to you juniors." Those guys in my hands, let them fight alone or play a little clever, but none of them are the leading materials, but the doll you, the old man is very optimistic. At a young age, your scheming is so deep, and your ability to grasp the situation is so strong, it seems that you have had the experience of leading soldiers before, I really don't know how old you are, you have such a rich experience and have not delayed your cultivation, if it weren't for the fact that you are the treasure in the palm of Lao Chen, the old man would have the heart to arrest you and explore it well. ”

As soon as Lu Yi heard Sima Hongqian's words, he thought in his heart, it seems that what this old ghost Sima wants to do is similar to what he wants to do, he wants to kill in the Western Regions, but he doesn't want to have any territory, he just wants to make a name for himself so that his people can find him, but he wants to annex more forces to strengthen his eastern expansion country. The two are not contradictory, as long as they can get enough benefits, it is a good way to use his people to make a name for themselves, but in this way, it is Chen Yunzi who is standing behind him, and Sima Hongqian is equivalent to announcing to outsiders that he has formed a strategic alliance with Chen Yunzi, Sima Hongqian's reputation has always been bad, will this affect Chen Yunzi? And Chen Yunzi will have any opinion on this? Besides, listening to what he just said, the opponent he wants to attack this time should not be simple, and there are even places where he needs to take action personally, isn't there a figure of equal strength to him on the opponent's side? This is something that he doesn't want to see or offend, if one is not good, he angers the other party, and the other party destroys himself regardless of the rules, then won't he become Sima Hongqian's substitute for the dead? This matter must be carefully considered and considered carefully.

Seeing that Lu Yi didn't answer, Sima Hongqian said to himself, "I know you have concerns in your heart, let's not talk about these for now, let me tell you what I want to do when I cooperate with you, and it is not too late for you to decide whether to join forces with me after you hear it." ”

"The younger generation listened. Lu Yi bowed and said, he knew that the more polite he was, the more room for maneuver would be.

"There are ten great powers in the Western Regions, presumably you know more or less about it, boy, right? These ten great powers in the Western Regions, each country has an existence like me and Lao Chen, so we old guys have also agreed that unless we have some inextricable mortal enemies, we should try not to fight each other, even if there is some small friction, we old guys are not allowed to intervene, let alone take the initiative against the younger generations of other countries. Later, because there were several countries other than the top ten powers in the Western Regions, there were also existences of our same level, and this rule was expanded and became the law of the entire Western Regions. Now that the Western Regions are in turmoil, you fight me and I fight you between various countries, but I have never heard of any characters in the late stage of spirit building appearing to do it, which is limited by this rule. The Western Regions are already barren, and the slightly richer places are occupied by our people, and those small countries are fighting around, and the interests they are fighting for are only that, to be honest, those can't get into the eyes of us at all, and if we want to lay out for the next war between humans and demons, there are only two ways to go, either join forces or annex. If we join forces, we old guys will be arrogant one by one, and it will be difficult for us to reach a consensus on cooperation; in the event of annexation, each of our respective forces will rarely have a border, so we can't cross the line to attack others, right? We can only advance step by step, but then the other side will already be aware of the intention and make sufficient preparations, and the fight will only be a lose-lose situation. Neither of these paths seems to be easy to follow. I've been working on this for a long time, and finally I really came up with a third way, which is subversion. In fact, this is also a workaround of the two paths mentioned above, which is to destroy the order of the target by creating conspiracy methods such as civil strife, so that they can either come forward to negotiate cooperation or launch a direct attack when they are too busy to take care of themselves, so as to grab the desired benefits. I put my ideas into action, and after many years of planning, I finally completed the preliminary preparations in a large country with good strength, and I planned to create a big crisis in that country, and then take the opportunity to send troops to annex it. That big country doesn't have late-stage Soul-building monks, but there are two mid-stage Soul-building monks, and they are also the kind of people who are very strong and have half a foot in the late-stage Spirit-building stage, ordinary mid-stage Soul-building monks are not their opponents at all, I can't make a move on such a person. There is no equivalent person in the family who can fight, it just so happened that you appeared with the little guy of the human butcher, and the old man became interested in you after hearing the wind and the boy mention what you did in Qilin City, thinking that you are a handsome talent, and the human butcher has a good strength, and can be regarded as a candidate who can fight with the other party, so that as long as you agree to cooperate with the old man, plus the existing manpower on both sides, then as long as the secret hand on my side is launched, it will be simple for us to eat each other inside and out. This is also what I want to confirm the feasibility of this idea, if it is really done, it can be used to deal with other big forces in the future, at that time, we can eat and drink spicy food, and we can engage whoever we want, wouldn't it be happy?!" Sima Hongqian gave a detailed introduction to Lu Yi's heart-warming plan, and he was also observing the change in Lu Yi's expression, seeing that although Lu Yi was very well disguised, he was obviously a little moved, and he knew that Lu Yi must have become interested in this matter.

Lu Yi is indeed a little moved, this Sima Hongqian is not only a high-level monk, but also a full conspirator, this guy does not act according to common sense, the sword goes sideways, but he is extremely calculating, Lu Yi feels that cooperating with such a person, as long as he is careful not to be calculated by him, he should still be able to learn a lot, so he plans to talk to the other party in detail and then agree to the other party's request for cooperation.

However, Sima Hongqian's next inadvertent small action made Lu Yi suddenly alert, and he opened his mouth to refuse Sima Hongqian's request for cooperation.
