"Alas, little brother, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. ”

Nanyin smiled and waved her hand, seeing that Ye Chen was not a master to be messed with, so she stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly: "Okay, since I invited you little brothers, then I have something to say." If I'm right, little brother...... It should be a puppeteer, or rather...... Puppet apprentice?"

As Nan Yin spoke, his gaze moved lightly from Ye Chen's body to the old man with a hundred poisons not far away, as if he had decided that one of the two must be a puppeteer. It's just that, from Nanyin's tone, it is obviously more inclined to the latter.

"Hehehehe, the city lord of Nanyin misunderstood, old man, I am a talent, where did I become a puppeteer. Finding Nanyin's eyes, the old man responded with a smile for the first time, and the implication was self-evident.

"So...... Little brother, you are actually a puppeteer?!"

"No, no, no, I mean, I didn't expect that little brother, you are so young, you can learn such a profound thing as puppetry, I don't know, this little brother has a big name?"

"The city lord of Nanyin doesn't have to be polite, his surname is Ye, his name is Chen, and he is a puppeteer. Don't hide it from the Nanyin City Lord, I came to participate in the auction this time, and I came for the Nanyin City Lord's black dragon backbone. ”

Nanyin's eyes flashed with obvious excitement, and she finally slowed down, and her tone became a little more frank, "Since Ye Chen's little brother has said so, Nanyin naturally can't hide it." ”

"The reason why I sent this black dragon spine to the auction is that I expected that the bidders who were willing to pay a lot of money to auction it off must have something to do with puppetry. I just didn't expect it...... I really found a living puppeteer, and it's still such a young puppeteer!"

Ye Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then he understood, what was the reason for Nanyin's design from beginning to end, "So, Nanyin City Lord took out this thing just to fish it out?"

"Hahahaha...... Although the word fishing is not good, it is not wrong to say so. Nanyin covered her mouth and chuckled, and then said: "However, little brother Ye Chen, you can rest assured, I fished out the little brother, definitely not to embarrass anything, but there is a very important matter, I want to ask the little brother for help!"

"Help?" Ye Chen pondered and said, "Nanyin City Lord has spent so much trouble and needs help, it must have something to do with puppetry?"

"Of course, only the puppeteer can help me with this favor. Moreover, no matter whether it succeeds in the end or not, Nanyin will definitely offer a generous reward with both hands, which will definitely satisfy Ye Chen's little brother, this black dragon dragon backbone is just one of them. ”

As soon as Nanyin's words fell, he had already held the black dragon dragon's backbone in his hand, put it directly in front of Ye Chen, and smiled and motioned for Ye Chen to take it.

"This black dragon dragon backbone is just one of them?It seems that the Nanyin City Lord has other puppeteers in his hands that can be used?" Seeing Nanyin's nodding appearance, Ye Chen agreed without hesitation, "Okay! Since the Nanyin City Lord has opened his mouth, Ye Chen will naturally accompany him to the end, let's say, what does the Nanyin City Lord need Ye Chen to do?"

"Okay! Little Brother Ye Chen agreed, but this matter is not in a hurry. Hearing Ye Chen's promise, Nanyin's face immediately showed obvious joy, and pulled Ye Chen to sit down on the stone bench on the side, "This matter needs to be explained clearly, it may take a certain amount of time, little brother Ye Chen, you sit down first, and listen to me tell you slowly......"

"Okay, Nanyin City Lord, don't worry, say it slowly, as long as you can help, Ye Chen will definitely not refuse......"

The two exchanged back and forth, and Ye Chen finally understood the difficult situation of Nanyin and Luo Yucheng at this time.

Looking at Ye Chen's thoughtful expression, but he never spoke, Nanyin's eyes became a little more earnest, and said: "Little brother Ye Chen, I have already said everything I can say, what is the future of Luo Yucheng, it can be said that it is all in the same thought with you, little brother." ”

"This ...... Nanyin City's words are serious. Nanyin's words made Ye Chen's shoulders sink, "But, Nanyin City Lord, there is one thing I don't quite understand. No matter how strong the city lord of this Purple Cloud City is, you are all the city lords of Great Yin, theoretically speaking, it is impossible for the other party to do anything excessive, right?"

"Holy Son, it's because they are all the city lords of Da Yin that this matter is troublesome. Seeing that Ye Chen really didn't understand anything, the old man of the hundred poisons approached Ye Chen's side and whispered, while motioning to Ye Chen to come over with him.

"What's the matter, Hundred Poisons senior, what the hell is going on? Why do I get more and more confused the more I listen. ”

"The Holy Son should know that among the three major dynasties in Zhongzhou, the Great Yin Dynasty is actually the most martial one, right?"

The old man of the hundred poisons said inquiringly, and when he saw Ye Chen nodded, he continued: "That's right, since the Emperor Shengwu, the Great Yin Dynasty has always had a tradition, and the city lords of all cities in the Great Yin have the opportunity to launch a month-long challenge to the neighboring cities once a year. The victor can plunder the loser's city in terms of materials, population, generals, etc., and the specific situation depends on the negotiation between the city lords on both sides and the actual outcome of the battle. ”

After listening to the explanation of the old man with a hundred poisons, Ye Chen realized that he only knew that the Great Yin Dynasty had always respected martial arts at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to come to such a point, "But, in this way, hasn't it become the internal friction of the Great Yin Dynasty?"

"There will always be attrition, but Holy Son, you think, this is a rule that has been handed down from ancient times to the present, and secondly, it can indeed make the warriors of the cities of Dayin always maintain their fighting spirit, and the city lords of each city will also manage their own cities with their hearts. Therefore, no matter how many emperors and rules Da Yin has changed over the years, no emperor has ever managed this point. The old man said, "However, judging from what this city lord girl said just now, the city lord of Purple Cloud City is probably not an easy person, even if he makes any excessive demands at that time, Luo Yucheng can only bear it, which should be the reason why this girl is so anxious." ”

"I see, I know it in my heart, thank you to the predecessors of Baixin. Ye Chen nodded, stood in place and thought for a while, and finally decided to bend over the puppet materials he needed.

Turning around, under Nanyin's expectant gaze, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth hooked up a smile, and said, "Nanyin City Lord, I already understand the general situation. So, what do the Nanyin City Lords need to do in the lower and lower puppet techniques to help the Nanyin City Lords and Luo Yu City tide over the difficulties?"

didn't bother to answer Ye Chen's question, Nan Yin only showed an excited look when she heard this, and said, "So, Ye Chen's little brother promised to help?"
