At this time, the Xia family was sitting in the main hall.

Xia Jingzhi and He listened happily to Xia Jing describing the process of ascending to the hall to them. Xia Qingyang's brother and sister-in-law also watched with a smile on the side, occasionally adding a few words.

Xia Qingyang looked at Ren Yi, and his heart finally came.

She said something to Xia Jingzhi and his wife, and then went with Ren Yi to a room a little farther away.

"This place is secluded, and I have asked my subordinates to guard it secretly, so that no one else will pass by." As soon as he entered the house, Ren Yi turned around and said.

Xia Qingyang could probably guess that Ren Yi had already touched the Xia family from the inside out.

She said yes.

"You should know what I'm looking for you for." Ren Yi glanced at Xia Qingyang, "I have already asked my subordinates to interrogate, not only the few people who were brought to testify...... Well, the prodigal son has turned back, and the rest of those who remain in the hospital are all of the same voice, and they don't seem to be coerced. Here's what's going on. ”

The eldest princess is really careful and smart. Moreover, it may have been eyeing itself for a long time.

Xia Qingyang smiled silently.

"It's you." Ren Yi took a deep look at her, then pulled away the chair on the side of the table and sat down, "You can sit too." ”

"Princess Xie." Xia Qingyang is as good as a stream.

She knew that Ren Yi was full of questions now, but this story still had to be made up slowly...... No, slowly.

Previously, on the Yujun Pavilion, she had made up a story about a master from outside the world who entered the palace to teach Concubine An martial arts.

Now she enriched this setting a little more, and told Ren Yi that in fact, the master also taught the method to herself and Queen Yin.

“…… Before leaving, Master asserted that the Great Chun Kingdom would inevitably have a catastrophe that would bring disaster to the country and the people in the future. And the reason why he taught the three of us the skills is to be able to help the Great Chun Kingdom survive safely at the time of the great tribulation. Xia Qingyang was serious, "Now that I have calculated that this catastrophe is near, I agreed with my two sisters that no matter what, I will carry out the task left by my master and help Da Chunguo survive this crisis." ”

Xia Qingyang knew that if he only talked about himself, Ren Yi would definitely not believe it. Therefore, she moved out Concubine An and Empress Yin to lower Ren Yi's defense.

Ren Yi was silent for a long time, obviously not fully believing what Xia Qingyang said: "You mean that Yi Xuan's medical skills were learned from this 'master'. And the subordinates of Cheng Laosan will rebel, not because you are coerced, but because you use methods to temporarily control them? ”

"Exactly."

Ren Yi frowned slightly: "That master has such a heavenly ability, he should be very famous." Why have I never heard of it? ”

Xia Qingyang paused slightly, as if there was something unspeakable. After a brief hesitation, she sighed softly:

"At that time, His Majesty was deceived by the evil words of the staff, so the Queen Mother ordered that all witchcraft and divination techniques were banned, and since then, no one in Dachun has dared to claim to have this ability. Now, if it weren't for the real national crisis, I wouldn't dare to tell this. ”

“……”

Xia Qingyang's statement is reasonable.

Ren Yi was about to ask something, when he heard Xia Qingyang say again: "There is another thing, the master originally didn't allow me to say." But I think that maybe by talking about this matter, I can answer His Highness's confusion a little. ”

"Speak."

"When the first emperor was young, he rescued a seriously injured fox in the palace, bandaged it, and raised it for three days, right?"

“…… How do you know? ”

Ren Yi raised his eyes sharply.

Xia Qingyang smiled.

She didn't answer Ren Yi directly, but said to herself: "That fox has actually been cultivating for many years. If it weren't for the kindness of the first emperor, it would have survived that day. ”

Xia Qingyang told Ren Yi that later the fox successfully transformed into a fox, so he wanted to repay the favor to the first emperor. Before he wanted to get out of the customs, the first emperor had been in the army for many years, and he planned to help his descendants at least protect the foundation of the first emperor.

Anyway, it is implied that Ren Yi is the "master" in his mouth, and he is the fox who repays his kindness.

Not to mention, this trick really worked, Ren Yi was very shocked at this time.

“…… When I was young, I saw the fox once in the palace. When I mentioned it to my father, my father told me that he had saved a fox and wanted to keep it secretly, but the fox ran away on its own. ”

A layer of goosebumps crawled up on Ren Yi's arm.

The most important thing is that the first emperor only told Ren Yi about this matter, and he didn't even tell the queen mother!

Daojun sighed in Xia Qingyang's ear: "You can really fool." Isn't this the gossip you heard from the big banyan tree in the palace? ”

"Daojun, the truth and falsehood must be mixed together, and others will believe it."

"Hmph, that's a mystery."

"Praise me for my cunning."

"I don't understand, you want to be a military advisor to this eldest princess, just say it, why do you have to go through so much trouble."

It was both hinting and tentative, and Daojun felt tired watching from the side.

"Man is a very rebellious animal. If you rush to find the door, the other party may not accept it. ”

Xia Qingyang gave Daojun an image example, "It's like, Gu Sinan directly told you that he is a good person and can help you fight against the rules of the game together-"

"That Honza will definitely think he has a conspiracy." Daojun did not hesitate.

"Right. But what would you think if he had already broken with the rules of the game, was seriously injured, and made a desperate bet with you, and then narrowly won? You'll think he's just hit a big luck and there's nothing to be a threat for the time being, you can take advantage of it. ”

“……”

Hiss.

Daojun always felt that Xia Qingyang was secretly scolding him for being stupid.

Xia Qingyang pursed his lips slightly, putting away his thoughts of teasing Daojun.

In fact, there is another very important reason. That's what she wants, not just to become Ren Yi's military advisor.

In order to make Ren Yi fully trust her choice in the future, from the very beginning, she had to grasp the scale and make her status higher.

Xia Qingyang sat upright leisurely, as if waiting for Ren Yi to digest all this.

This calm posture made the mysterious things she said more convincing.

Ren Yi is no longer a coaxing little girl.

After a short shock, she quickly calmed down, and her gaze at Xia Qingyang became more complex and awe-inspiring:

"Even if what you say is true, why do you want to tell me?"

"It's hard to change the status quo with our own efforts."

Ren Yi stared at Xia Qingyang closely, not letting go of any look on her face: "What do you mean." ”

"Your Highness, do you want me to make it clear?"

Since he pointed out his identity as a disciple of the "master", Xia Qingyang automatically substituted for the perspective of the unfathomable and contemptuous mortals, and the tone of his speech gradually became stronger.

This can be regarded as a small skill when communicating with people - taking advantage of the other party's hesitation and weakening momentum, taking the right to speak and occupying a strong position will be more conducive to the later exertion.

In this way, before entering the door, Ren Yi, who was still holding the eldest princess's shelf, had already been asked by Xia Qingyang a little hesitantly at this time.
