"Let's say, now that it's over, there's no need to beat around the bush anymore. If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. ”

"Oh?" But in the face of Zuo Yi's rare frankness, Gao Ran deliberately asked him with a slight ridicule without looking at the atmosphere: "But the problem is, I want to say a little too much...... I wonder if you want me to say it all, or do you just want to hear part of it?"

"You!" I'm afraid even Zuo Yi himself didn't expect that he would be provoked so easily, but he didn't know what to blame Gao Ran?—— just because she didn't seem to say anything wrong. If there is really a mistake, then she just doesn't look at the atmosphere and says something that is very inconsistent with the atmosphere at the moment. This made him anxious, angry, and depressed, but it was difficult to say anything.

When Gao Ran saw him like that, he put away his jokes with satisfaction, corrected his color a little, and then explained to him seriously: "Okay, I just saw that you haven't listened to me, and you have already borne too much heavy burden of thought, so I want to divert your attention a little, so that you can relax a little." After all, if you take things too seriously and your mind is too tense, then after listening to what I am going to say, you will have to start all kinds of misreadings of my words?—— which will be harmful to you and to me. ”

"Oh, in that case, it's really hard work. Although he responded with a slight mockery, Zuo Yi was obviously a little lacking in confidence when he said it. He obviously couldn't really deny that Gao Ran was indeed talking about his mental state at the moment, so he couldn't help but feel a little weak.

And how could Gao Ran not hear it? So, this time, she was also interested in not making things difficult for him anymore. Then he consciously said that he returned to business:

"Hehe, you're welcome. Okay, I'm not going around in circles with you. I'll cut it short.

"As I said before, this dream poison was prepared by someone I know, and she is also the Gu cultivator of the Gu poison you are in. But in fact, the reason why I didn't directly tell you her true identity before was because of her special features, not only because she was a disciple of our Medicine Valley, but also because she actually had an extraordinary blood feud with the Banana Emperor...... Her name is Ye Xuan. ”

"Ye Xuan?!"

When he heard this name, Zuo Yi suddenly realized. He suddenly remembered that the rumor storm that suddenly swept the whole country in one day a while ago had been mentioned, which happened about a few decades ago in a widely implicated tragedy, and the banana emperor had to pardon because of the pressure of the medical valley, and it was the only county lord who survived and was exiled abroad at that time - Ye Yu.

"Isn't it ......"

"That's right, it's the county lord you guessed. Presumably you have also thought of it, with the temper of the Banana Emperor, how could he really let Ye Yu go? But since I will specifically mention this old matter to you, why do you think it is?"

Zuo Yi thought about it, and then understood what Gao Ran meant, so he answered for her: "Ye Yu didn't die, not because Emperor Jiao really let her go, but because he couldn't kill her." And the reason why she couldn't be killed was not only because he didn't dare to kill her in the territory of Jiaoguo because of the threat of Yigu, but also because she was always protected by Gao Liwen after she left Jiaoguo...... And she came back this time to take revenge. ”

"Hmm. But don't worry, I don't dare to say anything else about Ye Yu's temperament, but there is one thing I appreciate very much: even if it is the revenge of exterminating the clan, she only wants to kill the Banana Emperor alone, and will not be angry with other innocent people, including the heirs of the Banana Emperor.

"Therefore, if you, an 'outsider', can help her with interest instead of hindering her, then she will not be able to solve the dream poison in your body......"

"You mean, it doesn't matter if the impostor in the palace is Ye Yu himself or not, as long as I can convince Ye Yu that I will help her and not hinder her, then she will detoxify me?

"Heh, you really can understand it at a point! That's right, I can still solve the Gu poison on your body, but this dream poison ...... To tell you the truth, although I know its effect, I don't know how it is formulated yet, so I can't do anything about it......

"But I'm sure that Ye Yu, although she may not be able to help you for no reason, most of them will not harm someone who has nothing to do with her for no reason. - After all, she is a person who can let go of even the heirs of the enemy. And what about you, who have nothing to do with it?"

Zuo Yi thought about it and deliberately took a deep breath so that he could calm down as soon as possible. And after finally calming down some of the fluctuating emotions at the moment, he took the initiative to ask clearly: "You won't tell me this for no reason." Presumably, Ye Jue's revenge, you must also be involved in it, but you don't seem to be willing to provoke other people's rights and wrongs...... Isn't it, you're ......"

"Oh, are you speculating that I'm actually trying to take advantage of this? Well, tell me what I would want out of it if I really had this plan?"

Following Gao Ran's prompt, Zuo Yi thought for a while, and then replied affirmatively: "You and Gao Liwen are uncles and nephews, and you are from the same door as Ye Yu, so whether it is for Gao Liwen or Ye Yu, it will be harmless for you to help Ye Yu take revenge." ”

"Harmless?heh, I see, what you really care about is that I don't know if I want to help Gao Liwen or Ye Xuan? Who I choose is the most important thing to you, right? As for what benefits I do for me, it is secondary to you. Isn't it?"

Hearing Gao Ran say this, Zuo Yi finally put his mind at ease. Although he was indeed right by her, he was more concerned about what he thought about than the instinctive discomfort caused by her seeing through it at a glance: since she could penetrate his most secret mind so easily, how could she not see Gao Liwen's intentions? And once she becomes a pawn, no matter how much she does for him - even if she really helps Gao Liwen dominate the world, she will end up badly. Gao Liwen would never leave such a dangerous hidden danger around her - she could not have imagined this.

As a result, Zuo Yi finally dared to be sure: Gao Ran would never stand on Gao Liwen's side. And since it's not to help Gao Liwen, it's to help Ye Yu. And she did this, not only in line with the "rules" of their medical valley, but also to thwart Gao Liwen's ambitions - as long as she could support a more suitable candidate to replace Jiaohuang in time and stabilize the government in time.

And as far as he knew, there was a "rule" in the Medical Valley that the people of the rivers and lakes were very afraid of: once a disciple of the Medical Valley was killed, the other fellow disciples would inevitably take revenge for it—whether it was right or wrong.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Zuo Yi to think that if Ye Yu has three longs and two shorts, then Gao Ran, as a fellow disciple, naturally wants to avenge her. And from Gao Ran's standpoint, if she wants to minimize the consequences caused by Ye Jue's revenge, then the best way is to prevent it in advance: she not only wants to help Ye Yu succeed in revenge, but also to find a suitable candidate in advance before she takes revenge, so that once the banana emperor dies, she can replace him as the new banana emperor in time, so as to stabilize the government in time, avoid the banana country from falling into greater turmoil, and avoid Gao Liwen from taking advantage of this turmoil. - Doing so is the best of both worlds for Gao Ran.

In addition, if the short time is taken into account, the suitable candidate who can stabilize the government in time can only be selected among the heirs of the Jiaohuang Emperor, which can be orthodox. Otherwise, intense and protracted turmoil will be inevitable!

"I see! Tell me, which prince do you like? Now among the orthodox candidates who are qualified to succeed to the throne, there are only five princes and seven princes. Which one did you choose?"

"Oh, Uncle Zuo is really powerful, it's really easy to understand at all! It's okay, since you know the current affairs so well, then you should know that if only Ye Yu goes to take revenge by himself, then only Gao Liwen as the so-called backing will not be able to guarantee your future safety at all; Compared with Gao Liwen, with us as her backing, it is obviously much more reliable!

"I can assure you that as long as you choose to be on our side, then I will definitely convince Ye Jue to cure your dream poison for you. Moreover, I can also assure you that even if Ye Yu will not be able to protect himself in the future due to revenge, I can protect you for the rest of your life!

"It's just that if you want to live and enjoy this glory in the future, then you have to leave at the right time. - You should know that no matter how benevolent the new Jiaohuang is, it is impossible to rest assured that a slave who has helped others kill the monarch will continue to be by his side. But you can believe that as long as I am in the day, he will not dare to touch you easily because of my threats to him. ”

"I get it......"

"It's good to understand. But in order to ensure that the Banana Emperor does not see the clues before the success of the matter, it is inconvenient for me to let you know which prince I chose. - You should know, you really don't know, it's the best cover-up......"

After hearing this, Zuo Yi couldn't help frowning, but after he thought about it, he nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted Gao Ran's proposal. How could he not know that for him now, only Gao Ran's choice could still have a glimmer of life - otherwise, even if he would not be killed by Jiaohuang or Gao Liwen, he would soon die from the dream poison in his body. Therefore, compared with the obvious "dead end", Gao Ran's road, at least for the time being, still has a glimmer of life. Then he could only try to believe that her promise to him would not be a lie......

"Well, now that we've agreed, you've accepted my bottom line. Then you can tell me now, apart from saving your life, what other bottom line do you have that you can't back down?"

"The bottom line?"

Zuo Yi suddenly became a little in a trance. He originally thought that the "bottom line" mentioned by Gao Ran before was just the bottom line of interests between the two that could not be compromised, but now she mentioned the "bottom line" again...... Could it be that she is not only referring to interests, but also to what belongs to him alone in his heart and cannot be backed down no matter what?

Zuo Yi began to wonder a little: What does she care about me? What do I insist on, what do I have to do with her? How do I feel, what do I have to do with her?!

For some reason, as soon as he thought of this, Zuo Yi suddenly felt inexplicably annoyed, and replied in a cold voice very angrily: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

"Huh?" Gao Ran didn't understand why Zuo Yi replied like this, but when she realized that his whole person suddenly became unexpectedly real at this moment, she understood the reason.

Although she knew that he had most misunderstood her intentions and mistakenly thought that she was caring and caring about his true feelings, at the same time, she also knew that his anger at the moment was clearly "telling" her: he wanted someone to see his emotions, and he wanted to be cared for—even if he didn't want to see this side of himself and didn't want to admit that it existed.

However, in fact, whether it was out of Gao Ran's consideration of his current position, or out of respect for Zuo Yi and wanting to take into account his self-esteem, Gao Ran could only choose to pretend not to know about the wordless messages he passed to her, and deliberately responded in an indifferent tone:

"Oh. That being the case, let that be the end of the day. When you go back, bring a message to the impostor next to you for me, and tell her: There is a person named Gao Ran who wants to bring a message to her through you, if she really wants to kill the Banana Emperor, please come here with you tomorrow. - You just have to convey that to her. I'll take care of the rest.

"Don't worry, if she is not Ye Xuan, then I have my own way to contact Ye Xuan herself immediately and help her come to detoxify you as soon as possible. Naturally, I will never let go of the person who took away Ye Yu's dream poison - because Ye Yu will never give this poison to others! And if she is Ye Yu herself, then I will definitely persuade her to detoxify you immediately in front of you to show my sincerity. How?"

"Good. I believe in you. Then we'll see you tomorrow. ”

"Goodbye. ”

After the two saluted each other, Zuo Yi did not delay any longer and left directly.
