[One hundred and sixty-nine] The posture that the palace master should have
Not only did Xiao Hao go to discuss with Gu Chenxi, but Xiao Hao couldn't find any reason to refuse, and didn't have the slightest suspicion, Liu Mengli chose to stay still for two days, and everything was recuperating as usual. It wasn't until that night that Liu Mengli summoned Xiao Hao to the main hall to discuss matters.
In order to prevent too much involvement in this matter, Liu Mengli did not call others to come with her.
Xiao Hao is not stupid, as soon as he enters the main hall, he is alert that the atmosphere is different from usual, and even Xi Zhong, who has always been with Liu Mengli's side to listen to orders, did not see him, his heart suddenly froze, and he shook the hand hidden in the wide robe, and stepped forward with a bow pretending to be calm, and said, "Xiao Hao has seen the palace master." ”
"Elders don't need to be polite." Liu Mengli sat in front of her, her face was calm, the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
Xiao Hao sighed, stood up straight, and waited for Liu Mengli's command. It's just that I didn't expect Liu Mengli to take a cup of tea into her hand with a sideways look, look at it lightly, and taste it again, without the slightest intention of opening.
So he couldn't hold it back, and asked cautiously: "I don't know what the palace master called his subordinates to come by, what did he order?" ”
"Oh, a little thing." Liu Mengli smiled, put the teacup back in its place, and looked at him squarely, "It must be a small matter for the elder, but for the Illusionary Realm, it is a big thing." Seeing Xiao Hao's face change slightly, "Heh, there is no need for the elder to be nervous...... In the last battle of Qiongxian Island, even if our clan and the young master of the Demon Realm Gu Chenxi did not officially form an alliance, the actual situation was not far from ten. And last time, my clan benefited a lot, and it is difficult to ensure that those in the fairy world will not hold grudges on this. Therefore, this palace thought about it for a long time and decided to cooperate with Young Master Gu Chenxi again. However, this is different from forming an alliance, where we can be close under common interests, but at the same time, we must grasp the distance between ourselves under the bottom line. With that, he got up and walked slowly down the steps.
The long skirt is full of fragrance, exuding the unique fragrance caused by Liu Mengli's years of fragrance accumulation. It should have been a relaxed breath, but at this moment, Xiao Hao's heart was raised high. Liu Mengli rarely spoke to him in such a tone, and he suddenly smelled a trace of unusual smell, bowed his head and made a little humility, and said: "The palace master's plan is very good, and his subordinates are also very supportive. ”
Liu Mengli raised her lips and smiled: "Oh? Could it be that the elders thought that the palace called you here just to hear if you agreed? Thinking of his arbitrariness before, Liu Mengli couldn't help but look at it and said in a heavy tone, "If you don't agree, then wouldn't this palace still have to change this strategy?" ”
Xiao Hao was excited, and hurriedly said: "The palace master's words are serious, since it is determined by the palace master, his subordinates all agree with it." This is not flattery, but it is actually the wisdom of the palace master, which is different from the mediocre people, so the subordinates are willing to follow to the death. ”
This is a bit flattering, Liu Mengli said in his heart that it is not suitable to care more about his previous trespassing, so he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to stroke his sideburns, and said with a soothing face: "Since you said so, Elder, then this palace can rest assured." With a smile, he explained the agreement with Gu Chenxi two days ago, as well as the details of sending him to be in charge of the discussion, and said, "The elder has always been the most powerful subordinate of this palace, and I want to leave this matter to you, and there will be no mistakes." ”
Xiao Hao was stunned by Liu Mengli's path of cutting first and then playing, and then came back to his senses to taste it, and couldn't help frowning: "This matter is very big, why didn't the palace master inform his subordinates two days ago?" ”
"Are you blaming Hongu?"
"The subordinates don't dare!"
"Heh......" Liu Mengli smiled knowingly, she knew that Xiao Haoshang took into account the disparity in status between them, and did not dare to rashly contradict it, "Since the elder has doubts, it doesn't hurt for this palace to explain." Sideways looked into his eyes carefully, "Hongu is unwell, so he has been resting for the past two days." "Paused," or the elder felt that the body of the main palace was ...... Couldn't it be more important than this? ”
"The subordinates don't have this intention...... Xiao Hao immediately weakened his arrogance, "The palace master's noble body is naturally important!" The subordinates are just in a hurry, so they are a little unscrupulous...... I thought that if I knew in advance and had enough time, I would be able to decorate it better! ”
Liu Mengli sneered in her heart, if I really let you arrange it well, then what's the point of me acting like this?
He pretended to be really his mistake, and blamed himself with a slight guilt: "Alas...... In this way, it is true that the palace is not well thought out. "But since the matter has come to this, it is useless to think about it." ”
"That's what the palace master said."
Liu Mengli pursed her lips and smiled: "Then, this matter will be handed over to you as the elder." The palace also needs to be in retreat for a while, and during this time, Xi Zhong will also be in retreat. Seeing that Xiao Hao wanted to say something, he immediately interrupted, "After all, Xi Zhong gave away his whole body cultivation last time, and although a few of you gave him a little, it was just a drop in the bucket." The dream tapir that can break through the enchantment and go to the human world during the trajectory of the human realm is now only Bengong and Xi Zhong, and Bengong is already physically exhausted, how can Xi Zhong also lose this ability? She wouldn't let Xi Zhongming get involved in this matter, after all, she needed the last Xi Zhong to have a perfect excuse to get out.
Xiao Hao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That...... Elder Xue Yu, can they get out of ......?"
"Elder, you're confused." Liu Mengli shook her head, "If you go alone, it will take half a day to say the least." You are not idle in the Illusion Realm, and this time you are leaving, the things that need to be dealt with are planned to be assigned to them. If they go with you, will all the affairs be handled by the palace alone? Seeing Xiao Hao's face embarrassed, "This palace believes in you, and you are definitely competent." What's more, after the last battle, our clan and their relationship have been closer, and they are not completely alienated. ”
Although Liu Mengli's words were calm in tone, she quietly blocked all the retreats that Xiao Hao had set for herself. At this time, he had already sensed that something was wrong, but there was no way to get out, and he could only let Liu Mengli drag him and jump into a pit from which he could not recover.
Her principle is that if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone.
Xiao Haoqian shouldn't have sent the twin sons far away, and also put a blood curse. If there is no result in this matter, she Liu Mengli is really a mother in vain.
Seeing Xiao Hao withdraw from the main hall, Xi Zhong, who had been hiding beside him, slowly walked behind Liu Mengli.
"I didn't know before, but you planned to do so." Xi Zhong spoke in a low voice, a little shuddered at the final disposition of Liu Mengli that he had already guessed.
Liu Mengli bowed her head and smiled helplessly: "Don't say that I didn't give him a chance, there are many opportunities, as long as he doesn't blindly seek his own death." He added, "But no matter how many opportunities there are, there is a bottom line, it depends on his ...... this time" did not continue, and sighed slightly.
Xi Zhong understood and sighed: "Even if you are empty, it is a good thing to be able to retreat with your whole body." Looking at Liu Mengli, "The human world cares about this, it's called 'disarming and returning to the field'?" ”
Liu Mengli was stunned, looked at Xi Zhong in a little surprise, and said, "I didn't expect that the eldest brother also paid attention to the human world. He laughed again, "It's a pity that I'm afraid there is no 'Tian' belonging to him in the Illusory Eye Realm......"
"Heh, since it's decided, don't hesitate." Xi Zhong knew that she was not a person who could completely ruthlessly take the lives of her clansmen, "But if you regret it, it's still too late." ”
"Regrets?" Liu Mengli pursed her lips, "Big brother, you misunderstood, I was just thinking about how to disintegrate his power and transfer it to Gui Xie." He patted Xi Zhong's shoulder again, "You might as well be decisive, you prefer to be reasonable, so you can't control Xiao Hao's forces." ”
Xi Zhong was slightly stunned: "What do you mean...... Not only Xiao Hao, but also ......"
"Shh Liu Mengli smiled, put her finger against her heavy lips, and slowly moved away, "Big brother, go back and rest early, as soon as Xiao Hao leaves tomorrow, we should act." ”
