The Chu Palace at night was unusually quiet, but it was Ye Qingchuan who repelled the people around him. At such times, what he needed was meditation.

Suddenly, a light breeze blew by, and the candle flame flickered.

Ye Qingchuan subconsciously raised his eyes, but saw an additional figure in the center of the main hall.

"I've seen the King of Chu. The person who suddenly appeared in the Fengtian Hall did not make a fuss, but respectfully saluted Ye Qingchuan.

After hearing the sound, Ye Qingchuan straightened up and said to the man: "Mr. Yao, we haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Yes, the person who suddenly appeared in the Fengtian Hall was Old Man Yao. Because it was Old Man Yao, Ye Qingchuan had to be cautious. In fact, Ye Qingchuan never underestimated the three demi-immortals under Yi Feng.

Tonight, he was even more cautious.

Because the old man standing in the center of the hall had always given him a plausible feeling since he appeared. It's not that Ye Qingchuan's strength has reached half an immortal, and he has seen the dead qi on Old Man Yao's body. In fact, Ye Qingchuan's strength is actually not high, it's just that he was born with a keen sense of spirit, so he sensed the existence of dead energy.

However, although Ye Qingchuan felt the death qi, he didn't know what it was, so Old Man Yao was even more mysterious in his eyes. At this point, he had to be cautious about the unknown.

"Is Mr. Yao here to show off?" or to persuade him to surrender?" As the head of a country, Ye Qingchuan quickly calmed down the waves in his heart, but he went straight to the point.

At the beginning, he had already pushed people into a desperate situation, but Old Man Yao didn't expect that a Ye Qingchuan would be so tricky. However, he is also a character who has lived for a long time, so naturally he will not be restrained by the words of a yellow-haired boy, "Neither." ”

"Oh?" Ye Qingchuan couldn't help but be a little curious, but his words were pressing step by step, "Isn't it that Mr. Yao wants to take refuge in us?"

King Chu laughed. Old man Yao responded to Ye Qingchuan, and at the same time, in order not to be led by Ye Qingchuan's nose anymore, he hurriedly said: "The old man just wants to make a deal with the King of Chu." ”

The word "transaction?" has been a lot of buzz lately. Ye Qingchuan vented the unhappiness in his heart, but people couldn't guess who the specific object was. However, he also stopped in moderation and followed suit: "Then please tell Mr. Yao about it." ”

"We help the king of Chu to relieve the siege of Chudu. Old man Yao first threw out a side that was beneficial to Ye Qingchuan.

However, Ye Qingchuan didn't seem to accept this, and then asked, "What about the price?"

Old man Yao said indifferently: "There is no price. ”

Before the words fell, Ye Qingchuan suddenly got up, but looked at Old Man Yao with an unbelievable look.

"What do you want?"

Ye Qingchuan was convinced that there was no free lunch in the world, and it was impossible for Qijun to help him for no reason. For this reason, there is only one explanation, and what Qijun intends is greater.

"It's not you, it's us. After correcting the mistake in Ye Qingchuan's words, Old Man Yao continued: "We need to join forces to achieve true unification. ”

"Huh. Ye Qingchuan couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "The two countries of Qichu already have an alliance, Mr. Yao won't know it." ”

"Don't let such intriguing covenants be. Old man Yao said: "What we want is to join forces one step closer, for example, for ministers." ”

"Ha, haha!" Ye Qingchuan laughed when he heard this.

"It's the first time I've seen someone talk about persuasion so freshly and refinedly. Mr. Yao, you are

Great talent!"

For Ye Qingchuan's ridicule, Old Man Yao was indifferent. After all, people who have lived for a long time still have this concentration.

However, he also had to praise Ye Qingchuan's reaction, after all, after stealing the beams and changing the pillars, Ye Qingchuan could still keenly perceive his intentions, and it could be seen that Ye Qingchuan was not simple.

Finally, Ye Qingchuan's laughter stopped. He got up and bowed his hand to Old Man Yao and said, "In this case, please ask Mr. Yao to go back." ”

At this point, Ye Qingchuan disagreed, which generally means that this negotiation is over. But Old Man Yao is not an ordinary person, but he is still standing in the center of the main hall, unmoved.

Seeing that Old Man Yao seemed to be relying on himself, Ye Qingchuan frowned dissatisfiedly, "Mr. Yao, don't force me." ”

Old man Yao didn't hear it, but he said in a godly voice: "Millennial Ye Mansion, for the minister, not for the king." You are such a special case, I am afraid that it is because of the hatred of the thousand-year-old Ye Mansion, so you will do the opposite. ”

These words are all speculation, Old Man Yao is gambling, betting on the true emotions in Ye Qingchuan's heart, if the bet is right, he will have a great chance of convincing Ye Qingchuan.

When the words fell, when he saw Ye Qingchuan who was glaring angrily, Old Man Yao knew that he had guessed correctly.

"Mr. Yao, you're forcing me to kill you!"

Everyone has a secret in their heart, but when you try to open it, it's like opening a magic box, maybe an endless demon, or maybe the last hope.

Obviously, Old Man Yao wanted to reveal the secret of Ye Qingchuan's heart, which really angered Ye Qingchuan at this moment. But as the so-called wealth and danger are sought, extraordinary things must be done in an extraordinary way, so Old Man Yao was also forced to do this helplessly.

Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and continue: "You hate the thousand-year-old Ye Mansion, so you always want to do the opposite, this is your stubbornness." But have you ever thought that in their eyes, this may just be your rebellion? ”

"What can really deal a fatal blow to the thousand-year-old Ye Mansion is not how much you can contribute after becoming the king, but that you follow his thinking as a minister, defeat them in the aspects they are proud of, and even, break away from them and build another Ye Mansion!"

Ye Qingchuan was silent, and he had to say that Old Man Yao had grasped the element he cared about the most. He hated the Thousand Year Leaf Mansion, hated its cold-blooded rules that were impersonal, and this was the emotion that had always been hidden in the deepest part of his heart.

But now he is like a child who is not recognized, and he is against him everywhere when he longs for the approval of adults. Childish and pointless.

"Perhaps, you are right. Finally, Ye Qingchuan slowly said what he thought in his heart, but he accepted Old Man Yao's words. "However, with my talents, I can go to the Three Emperors and Eight Emperors, why should I shrink into your small Qiguo?"

"Because we're small. Old man Yao already felt that the victory was in his hands at this moment, and said: "Our Qiguo is still growing, it is different from the fixed team of the Three Emperors and Eight Emperors, it still has infinite possibilities, this is a platform for you to show your strengths." ”

"It's tempting. Ye Qingchuan said: "But I refuse." ”

"Why?"

originally thought that the victory was already in hand, but who wanted to turn around, Ye Qingchuan once again rejected Old Man Yao. This made the old man Yao who was old and refined couldn't help but be surprised, and he only felt that the food in his mouth was taken away again.

"Because of 'them'. Ye Qingchuan didn't hide it, and said frankly: "You should know the existence of 'them' when you are an old character, and the last thing I want is 'them'." Unfortunately, Yi Feng is 'them.'

'Spokesperson. ”

Old Man Yao asked with a gloomy face, "Where did you learn about it?"

"Guess. Ye Qingchuan said: "A fledgling boy came to Yasukuni and became a general, and then the Xia State attacked the Yu Kingdom, and he was able to go to the next level...... I won't go into the details of what happened after that, but I have to admit that this fledgling boy did have good luck. Or, someone deliberately arranged it. ”

Old man Yao didn't speak, because he really didn't know much about Yi Feng's situation when he was in Yasukuni, and now that someone told him, he was also happy to listen.

Ye Qingchuan saw that Old Man Yao was silent, so he continued: "If it is deliberately arranged, everything will be clear. 'They', who are powerful on the mainland, have found Yi Feng as their spokesperson for some reason, and Yi Feng is just a fledgling nobody at this time, so 'they' strictly ordered Xia Guo to attack Yu Kingdom, so that Yi Feng can use this to enhance his reputation. That's why the battle of Xia Kingdom was so strange, besieging but not attacking was a chance for nothing. ”

"After that, Xia Guo was unwilling to be enslaved by 'them', so he did the thing of sealing Zen in Jishan, and completely tore his face with 'them'. And just after Xia Guo fought against 'them', 'they' control over Yi Feng was much weaker, so Yi Feng was in danger several times. Of course, it's still control, even if it's not completely controlled. I have heard the dark one say that during the period when Yi Feng was captured by Mu Yuan, there was a sword master who once appeared. ”

"Yes, I heard that Mr. Yao also fought with him. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Qingchuan stopped describing, looked at Old Man Yao and said, "Mr. Yao, how is my story?, can you prove Yi Feng's relationship with 'them'?"

After a long time, Old Man Yao said slowly: "You, you are really powerful. ”

And when Ye Qingchuan already had a smile on his face, Old Man Yao said again: "But have you ever wondered why 'they' chose Yi Feng as the spokesperson of 'them'." ”

With a smile on his face, Ye Qingchuan suddenly realized the key.

"King Chu, your founding is contrary to the thousand-year-old Ye Mansion, so I said that it is better to follow the thinking of the Ye Mansion and give it a fatal blow in the place that the Ye Mansion is most proud of. This applies to Yi Feng, and the same applies to 'them'. ”

Old man Yao spoke very slowly, and his voice was very low, but he had a kind of determination to move forward.

"What if, 'they' also want to defeat Yi Feng or Yi Feng's father's pride in the place where he is most proud? There is a thing in the world called the repayment of the debt of the father and the son, even if the current Yi Feng is still kept in the dark, but I think he has a reason to deal with 'them'. This point is not comparable to even Xia Guo. ”

After Old Man Yao finished speaking, he didn't say anything more. He has said too much, and how to choose depends on Ye Qingchuan himself.

And Ye Qingchuan's mind at this time had been greatly shocked, and this result was something he didn't expect. In the past, he only hated 'them' with his enthusiasm, but now, when he re-understood the stakes, he suddenly found that what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg, and there was not only 'them' in it, this was a huge vortex, so big that even the Three Emperors and Eight Emperors were just insignificant chess pieces.

After a long time, Ye Qingchuan pursed his dry lips, "How can I believe that what you said is true?"

Old man Yao sighed, "I've lived too long. ”

The sentence that the bull's head is not right to the horse's mouth contains too many meanings and too many emotions, Ye Qingchuan can't taste all of them, but this sentence convinces him.
