Liu Yi's face flashed with a hint of pride, he saluted Xie Xuan, followed behind Wang Chen, and walked outside the circle, while He Wuji took the other Beifu brothers and greeted Liu Yu and the others with a smile.

Liu Yi followed behind Wang Chen and walked to a secluded place outside the circle, the Diao brothers and others stood far away, Wang Chen didn't look at them, looked at Liu Yi with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Yi, you are so bold, you dare to make a decision on my behalf, who instructed you to do this?" ”

Liu Yi smiled slightly and shook his head: "I, Liu Yi, am Liu Yi, no one can dictate me, the reason why I did that is because I think this is the best solution." Wang Changshi, your family is not short of this money, but today's matter, if you dig deeper, or make a big fuss, it is far from being able to settle with this money. ”

Wang Chen sneered: "It's interesting, even the Diao family brothers and the Yu family brothers, these people who are known to the world as my subordinates, didn't do this, you Liu Yi is a member of the Beifu Army, a person from Xie Xuan, and even a subordinate of my enemy, why do you want to be good to me in turn?" ”

Liu Yi smiled and shook his head: "Wang Changshi, although I joined the Beifu Army, I am not from the Xie family, Liu Yucai, and I, Liu Yi, am just responding to the call of the country and serving the country in the army." It wasn't sold to the Xie family. ”

Wang Chen's heart moved, and he shook his head instead: "I don't believe it, you did a good job in the Beifu Army, killed the commander of the enemy country, and also received a big reward, given time, your achievements will not be lower than Liu Gaozhi, I don't see any reason for you to leave the Xie family and join us." ”

Liu Yi smiled slightly: "But the Xie family didn't marry a daughter to me." Everyone in the Beifu army knows that Xuan Shuai and Xianggong take a fancy to Liu Yu, no matter how much merit I make, I can't compare to others. Besides, the power of the Xie family cannot be maintained forever, so I don't need to tie my future to the Xie family. ”

Wang Chen frowned: "But last time my brother and King Huiji took the initiative to set up a banquet for you, and you didn't agree to come to us, why did we suffer a big loss today, but you have to change your mind?" ”

Liu Yi smiled and shook his head: "The main thing you invited that day was Gao Su, He Heng, these veterans, I am just a small role in the last seat, in this case, you probably won't take me seriously." The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the lord to serve, so I don't let you know my ability first, but I'm afraid I won't give me what I want. ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Wang Chen's eyes: "Liu Yi, you are indeed talented, but who would dare to use a person like you who is talented but not loyal?" Can you turn your back on the Xie family today, and won't betray us tomorrow? ”

Liu Yi's expression was as calm as ever, he looked at Wang Chen, and said indifferently: "Wang Changshi, don't say anything about betrayal easily, be loyal." Man is a selfish and rational animal, and everything he does is for his own benefit. If you want to talk about betrayal, then Brother Zun is still Xie Xianggong's son-in-law, in order to favor your family, Xie Xianggong did not hesitate to let the family woman divorce Wang Xun's brother, didn't you also repay the Xie family in this way? ”

Wang Chen said coldly: "It is a matter between the families between us, and the Xie family used to be just a subordinate of our Wang family's ancestors, even if they were in power for a while, they didn't dare to say that they were above my Taiyuan Wang family." And the Xie family wants to monopolize power and block my brother's promotion, so we naturally can't sit back, so it's natural to start anew, this is not a betrayal, and there is no similarity to your situation. ”

Liu Yi smiled slightly: "But I, Liu Yi, am not a member of the Xie family, the Beifu Army is the army of the imperial court, I serve the country in the army, and temporarily serve under the generals of the Xie family, I can't say that I am a member of the Xie family." Liu Yu is half of the Xie family's son-in-law, but I, Liu Yi, am not. Wang Changshi, it's better for you to figure out this difference. ”

Wang Chen hooked the corners of his mouth: "But no matter what, the Xie family has given you a chance to serve the country in the army and make contributions." Supposedly, you should have gone all the way with them, and now that you have thrown yourself into us, I have to doubt your motives. ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Liu Yi's eyes: "Actually, this motive is very simple, because the Xie family will only support Liu Yu with all their might, no matter what I do, no matter what I do, it is impossible to compete with Liu Yu." You high-ranking families are fighting for the power of the court, and I just want to share the power with Liu Jinu, since the Xie family doesn't give me this opportunity, I can only seek your support instead. ”

Wang Chen's brows furrowed: "But the Xie family has the Beifu Army, and we have no plans to build our own army." Liu Yi, your way out is in the military circles, not in the officialdom. What Xie Xuan can give you, I can't give. ”

Liu Yi smiled slightly: "I didn't say that I wanted to transfer to your army, I finally got a certain position in the Beifu army, and I have my own brother, if I want to leave now, I won't kill me." ”

Wang Chen's face changed: "You refuse to leave the Beifu Army, so what are you doing with me?" ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Liu Yi's eyes: "The Beifu Army is not the private property of the Xie family, although they have funded the Beifu Army over the years, but this money, I think you also have it, even if you don't have it, King Huiji, even the Holy Lord, will definitely try their best to meet it." The truth that a thousand dollars are easy to get, but a warrior is hard to find, I don't think a smart person like Wang Changshi will not know. ”

Wang Chen sighed: "Of course I dreamed of catching the Beifu Army in my hands, but this can only be a dream, the Beifu Army was all selected and organized by the Xie family, and outsiders can't interfere at all." It's impossible to recruit those fierce northern refugees for ten times the money, and now we only hate that we didn't have this awareness in the early years, so that the Xie family seized the opportunity, and now they have a strong army in hand, and they don't have a handle in the court, and even the Huan family has no excuse for supporting the army and dominating one side, so how can we deal with it? ”

Liu Yi smiled slightly: "But Wang Changshi, have you ever thought about it, is all the surname Xie just one heart?" Xie Yan saw that his father didn't give him military power, but gave it to his cousin, would he have no idea in his heart? As Xie Xuan's uncle, Xie Shi wants to be this nephew's deputy in turn, is he so willing? ”
