PS: [Thank you 'Azelf', 'haidizhiyuan', 'Eight-winged Angel' for voting for your precious monthly pass!] Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, we wish all book friends a great family reunion, happiness and peace! There is only one shift today, let me also have a New Year, thank you. 】

Fang Shi had already taken a shower and changed his clothes, Xia Yuyao was still cleaning up in his room, and Director Yan had already appeared on time, followed by Xu Liquan, who looked a little strange.

"Please be seated."

Fang Shi let the two of them into the reception room, the security bureau this apartment room was originally set up for the convenience of internal personnel accommodation, and several rooms on the twelfth floor were specially prepared for the leaders, all of them were suites, the area was not small, and the furniture in it also took a lot of thought, which looked elegant and atmospheric.

Director Yan sat on the sofa, Fang Shi had no intention of serving tea, and Director Yan didn't care.

Looking at Fang Shi, who was dressed in casual clothes, Director Yan inevitably felt a trance in his heart, how could this hairy boy who looked very ordinary be the great master of the Xuanmen.

"That's the case," Director Yan doesn't plan to go around in circles, everyone understands people, and it's shameful to waste time: "Master Fang should have met the Ouyang Sect Master of the Earth Demon Sect today, right?" ”

Fang Shi nodded quietly: "Not bad." ”

"I heard Xiao Xu say that Master Fang agreed in principle to exchange rune seals with the Earth Demon Sect?"

Director Yan's tone of voice was slightly strict, and there was an incomprehensible glint in his eyes, but Fang Shi didn't seem to care about it at all.

"That's right, the tentative intention has been reached. Next. It depends on what price the Earth Hellgate can pay? ”

Director Yan's body subconsciously leaned forward: "Master Fang." You should understand what this deal represents? ”

What does it mean? I don't understand, I just know that this rune sealing array is just a very ordinary Xuanmen spell for me, and I use it to exchange for something valuable or technical, which is just a very common thing. ”

"Master Fang is very reasonable, we can't ask about your behavior, but the object of your trade is debatable, and the Hellish Gate and the Security Bureau are now in a fierce confrontation. Once the technique provided by Master Fang is applied by the Earth Shatter Gate, it will be quite unfavorable to us. ”

Fang Shi shrugged: "It's not us, it's you, in my opinion, you are no different from the Earth Evil Gate. ”

Director Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said solemnly: "We represent thousands of Chinese people and national interests, and Master Fang's words are a bit excessive. ”

"Huh, representative? Or represented? Who knows, as for the interests of the state and the nation, this one is even more interesting. The master of Ouyang Sect also said that he wanted to safeguard the interests of the country and the nation, but I don't know who to believe? ”

Director Yan frowned. The start of today's conversation is really terrible, Fang Shi is deliberately messing around, how can the Earth Devil Gate compare with the Security Bureau? No matter how selfish the Security Bureau is, from a standpoint, the Security Bureau was born to safeguard national interests, and as for the Devil's Gate, even if they talk wildly, they cannot change the nature of their self-interested clique.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be argued about at all, not to mention, with Fang Shi's cleverness, can't he see the difference between the two? Fang Shi said this, but he was just deliberately confused.

"Master Fang, no matter what, we are the ones in power, and the Earth Demon Sect is just an evil organization, please think twice."

"Are you threatening me?"

Director Yan leaned back and said, "No, I'm just stating a fact and a principle, a fact that seems to have been ignored by Elder Fang, and the principle that we have to adhere to. ”

"Principles?"

"Yes, the principle of putting national interests first is also a principle that is not easy for me to pursue."

Fang Shi's eyes shrank, Xu Liquan was anxious, but there was no place for him to speak here, so he could only be anxious.

"Director Yan came tonight to sue me for this? Then I know clearly, I will seriously consider Director Yan's opinion. ”

Fang Shi smiled, as if he wasn't ready to talk any further.

In fact, if Fang Shi really made a deal with the Earth Demon Gate quietly, the Security Bureau would not be able to hold Fang Shi's handle, and the reason why Fang Shi clearly informed Xu Liquan about this was to see the attitude and reaction of the Security Bureau.

Director Yan's response is also aimed at this, no matter what the outcome is, the Security Bureau must be resolutely opposed to Fang Shi's deal with the Disha Gate, clearly conveying the government's distrust of the Disha Gate, and even the distrust of the Xuanmen, which is a matter of principle.

And Fang Shi also got the attitude of the Security Bureau and the upper authorities towards the Earth Evil Gate and the attitude towards the Xuanmen from the reaction of Director Yan, but there is a saying that what the enemy opposes, that is, what we have to insist on, although Fang Shi does not want to see the Security Bureau and the above as enemies, but others don't seem to see it that way.

Fang Shi stood up, this was a send-off, Xu Liquan opened his mouth, and found that he couldn't say anything at all, Fang Shi deliberately let himself come to listen, obviously to deprive himself of the opportunity to be red-faced, and also to remind his identity, no matter how disguised and tried, red-faced is always red-faced, and black-faced is in the same camp.

Xu Liquan sighed, which meant that Fang Shi's honeymoon period with the Security Bureau was officially over.

Director Yan Jian Fangshi got up to see off the guests, and there was no way to continue, although this conversation was too short, and the negotiation process was completely out of his preconceived idea, Fang Shi didn't intend to bargain with the Security Bureau at all, nor did he hardtop the Security Bureau, but just politely refused to be thousands of miles away.

It would be impossible for Director Yan not to regret it at all, but he also understood that as long as he did things, there were risks, and since he had chosen this path in the first place, he had to accept the result, although the result was very bad, and he might even end his political life.

Director Yan also sighed secretly, got up and walked out, Fang Shi sent the two of them to the door with a smile, and then suddenly said: "When the sealing array is done, I will go back to Qingcheng, by the way, if you retire." If you have time to visit Qingcheng Mountain, I am still welcome. I am a man who has a clear distinction between public and private. I don't send it. ”

Director Yan straightened his waist, nodded with a smile, and said, "Qingcheng Mountain is too high, I can't climb it up when I'm old, so I'd better stay at home." ”

Xu Liquan sighed gloomily, watching Fang Shi close the door, but the door of the other room opened, and Xia Yuyao, who had long hair and was still a little wet, appeared at the door, looking at the two of them with some surprise.

Xu Liquan smiled bitterly at Xia Yuyao. Director Yan also nodded slightly, and the two turned around and walked towards the elevator.

The two were silent all the way, until they arrived in Director Yan's temporary office, and Xu Liquan finally couldn't help it.

"Director Yan, why is that?"

Xu Liquan's voice was full of indignation, this is no longer the attitude of his subordinates towards his superiors, but a kind of questioning, angry questioning.

Director Yan waved his hand and said very easily: "It's nothing, if my function improves our relationship with Fang Shi." The price is worth it. ”

"But but"

Director Yan smiled, and there was a hint of self-deprecation and ruthlessness hidden in his smile: "I've been thinking about it all along." What can we give ashlar? If nothing can be given, then is ashlar also considered a kind of meritorious master? It's just that the times are different, and people are outsiders, what can you do with them? ”

Xu Liquan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't understand, since you know that there may be such a result, why do you want to?"

Fang Shi's words just now made Xu Liquan completely understand what the above was thinking, and both the above and Director Yan already knew the possible Yan results of persecuting Fang Shi, but despite this, Director Yan still had to take the risk to implement this strategy, on the one hand, it was to test Fang Shi's bottom line, and on the other hand, it was also to convey the above bottom line to Fang Shi, in the final analysis, Director Yan was singled out to make a black face and conduct a stress test on Fang Shi.

But this black face is not so easy to do, after doing something that offends people, but he will be spanked, in order to please Fang Shi and make up for the rift between the two sides, he will even be sent to others to bear the guilt, which Fang Shi also knows very well, so he doesn't even talk to Director Yan, because Director Yan will lose his official position immediately.

Xu Liquan also understands that no one can be blamed for this, who calls them eagle dogs, if they are eagle dogs, they must have the consciousness of eagle dogs, not to mention, Director Yan himself is obviously clear about this matter.

"Xiao Xu, I'm old, I can't do it for long, this time it's also a bit of a spare heat, don't think too much, this plan was originally proposed by me, and you don't have to be angry with others."

"You brought it up?"

Xu Liquan looked at Director Yan in surprise.

Director Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, do you remember how my last one died?" ”

"This"

"Cause and effect, this is what Fang Shi said, in fact, the righteous master of Baiyun Temple also said so, it is Fang Shi who stands proudly at the head of the tide, therefore, I suppressed and calculated Fang Shi, what is the result of the return does not need Fang Shi or others to arrange, there will be cause and effect to decide, just a simple resignation, it is already a good result."

"But why?"

The corners of Director Yan's mouth hooked, revealing a very relaxed smile: "Because someone has to do it, Fang Shi doesn't understand politics at all, so we must let him understand what politics is, only if he understands this, can he accurately position himself and Qingcheng Mountain, he is too important, too powerful, everything that loses checks and balances is dangerous, he must understand this himself." I don't want to be at a critical moment in the rise of China, because of him, he must understand this. ”

"Is this really necessary?"

Director Yan said solemnly: "Of course there is, struggle and compromise are complementary to each other, and they are also eternal, although he has no ambition now, but no one can guarantee that this great master who cannot be checked and balanced at all will have ambition one day, Cao Cao was also a loyal minister back then!" ”

"So, you have to give him a wake-up call and let him know that it's not impossible to destroy him?"

"Hehe, I just want to tell him that people's hearts are fickle."

Xu Liquan has mixed feelings in his heart, he really doesn't know what to say, Director Yan spares his life for the sake of his beliefs, although it is admirable, but what Xu Liquan has in his heart is not only admiration, but also some regret and anger.

Although Director Yan has made it very clear and the logic seems to be very rigorous, Xu Liquan still can't fully accept Director Yan's views, they all stand on their own standpoint, judge Fang Shi with their own values, and judge a Xuanmen monk with the eyes of a politician, which may be wrong from the root.

It's a pity that the matter has come to this point, what can the husband say? (To be continued......)
