Whenever he was idle, Li Yu's figure involuntarily appeared in his mind, and that smile made Yu Ren worry. Therefore, for a while, Yu Ren tried not to let his head be idle. Seeing that you can see the person who has been thinking about it again, it will be very painful to ask him to wait even for another day. Therefore, Yu Ren naturally had to try his best to find an excuse to stay.

Mr. Qu pondered for a while, "Okay! So, let's ask Yu Xianggong to go with us to meet the eldest lady tonight! ”

Yu Ren naturally readily agreed.

So, several people had breakfast and dinner at Mr. Qu's house. Before the meal was finished, I saw Miss Ying'er rushing over.

"Mr. Qu, Mr. Qu. Miss asked me to ask, have you come up with a solution? ”

Mr. Qu was not very sure of Yu Ren's method at this time. He is a cautious person, not like Liu Qiang, who can't hide anything in his heart. Seeing that Li Yu sent Ying'er to inquire in person, he knew that the eldest lady was also very anxious about the attack on Chen Qian Island. After all, others don't know the stakes in this, and he couldn't be clearer about it.

At the beginning, when the eldest lady first returned to China, it was he who gave the eldest lady this idea, and united with the Xu family to use force and softness, soft and hard, to unify all the pirates in the southeast sea under the command of their two families. Then, in the name of protecting merchant ships, they collect protection fees from merchant ships from all over the world - that is, flag purchase fees.

As a result, the sea is too peaceful. Merchant ships no longer worry about being robbed at any time, and although they spend some money, they actually benefit more. And those pirates are much better than before. Since the Li and Xu families will allocate a part of the flag silver to them every year, although it seems to be less than before. But you don't have to take any more risks. At the same time, you can also take the two caravans of the Li family and the Xu family to do some business of buying and selling overseas.

Due to the business relationship between the Li and Xu families and the experience accumulated over generations, these pirates were really just running errands after them, and they didn't bother. But the money was not less.

What's more, the sea is too peaceful, and the court is at ease. Without the noise of the pirates, the generals of the southeast guards can stay in their guards every day with peace of mind and comfort, without going out to sea to be exposed to the wind and sun, and not worrying about the pirates sneaking up on their ships and burying them in the sea. How nice!

This is a programme that takes into account the interests of all parties. Therefore, not long after the implementation of this plan, there was a phenomenon that many pirates did not need Li Yu to send people to persuade them to surrender, so they took the initiative to come to the city and were willing to belong to the Li family.

However, the basis of all this is derived from the maritime strength of his Li family. Now, the Li family's prestige in the Southeast China Sea is being challenged. If the incident of Zhong Laosan's hijacking of merchant ships cannot be resolved, then their Li family's prestige in the southeast sea will plummet. It's easy to lay down the country, but I'm afraid it will be cut off soon.

Mr. Qu is very aware that although this method of borrowing the strength of others to engage in alliances has developed rapidly, it also has a fatal disadvantage. That is, once the prestige of the headquarters is insufficient, the plate will quickly collapse.

Mr. Qu put the bowl down and said to Ying'er, "There are already some eyebrows." However, there is still one thing to be confirmed for its usability. If available. Then this will work. If it's not available, then we'll have to find another way. ”

When Ying'er heard this, her face immediately showed a happy look. "Good! The young lady also said just now that I believe that with the wisdom of the gentleman, this is not a problem. I'm going to report to Miss. With that, Ying'er turned around and left.

From beginning to end, Ying'er didn't look at Yu Ren, which made his heart extremely lonely. Yu Ren didn't expect that he would become air in the eyes of this little girl now. Although this is related to the fact that it is dark and there is no light in the house, the light is not good. However, you can't even sweep him!

Yu Ren felt a little inferior. He was even thinking about whether to go with Mr. Qu and them to see Li Yu for a while. He was worried that Li Yu would be like Ying'er, turning a blind eye to him for this Chen Qian Island matter. To be honest, being ignored by this little girl Ying'er, he can still accept it. However, if Li Yuye turns a blind eye like this, he doesn't even know if he can withstand this kind of blow.

Although reason told him. In fact, even if Li Yu turned a blind eye to him, it was normal. After all, now she must deal with this hot matter in front of her first. However, Yu Ren was still very worried about whether he would not be able to control his emotions. He knew that he had always been a relatively emotional person, and this shortcoming had not changed much.

Mr. Qu and Liu Qiang ate in a hurry, but found that Yu Ren on the side was holding a bowl in his hand, but eating more and more slowly. Mr. Qu didn't speak, but Liu Qiang was anxious.

"Yu Xianggong, it's going to be dark soon. Let's hurry up and eat, eat well, and go to the eldest lady to return to our lives! ”

Yu Ren woke up at this time. "Oh! Good right away. After saying that, he hurriedly took two mouthfuls of food, put down the bowl and followed the two to the council hall.

The meeting hall of Wentao Courtyard is a little far away from where Mr. Qu lives. It was built at the back of the temple temple, on a higher hillside. This is Li Yu's office here. There is a separate yard. It is divided into two rooms, and there are more than a dozen rooms in the front, which are connected in a row, and the rear is slightly smaller, but there are more wings on both sides. All up, the front and back rooms are still about the same.

When the crowd came to the council hall, most of the leaders had already arrived. They stood in two rows. After Mr. Qu came in, he stood at the front, and Liu Qiang stood in the middle. Yu Ren agreed with the two in advance and stood behind Liu Qiang.

Through the shoulders of the people in front of him, Yu Ren finally saw the person who made him think about it. At this time, Li Yu, dressed all over his body, looked a little thinner than before parting, but a little more heroic. At this time, she was intently studying a map spread out on the table. Yu Ren couldn't see what map was on her desk because she was standing far away.

I saw Miss Ying'er, who was standing next to Li Yu, whispering a few words in her ear. Li Yu hurriedly raised his head. Seeing that Qu Jing had already come, he hurriedly straightened up.

"Mr. Qu is here! The clever plan to attack Chenqian Island, I think you have brought it too! ”

Mr. Qu hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over. "I don't dare to make a final decision yet. Because of that crucial thing, I haven't seen it in person. ”

Li Yu took Mr. Qu's note and looked at it carefully. Her brow, which had been frowning, finally widened a little. She put the note in her pocket casually and said to the people below, "Mr. Qu really deserves to be Kong Ming of our Li family!" Such a whimsical plan can also be thought of. ”

Mr. Qu was praised by Li Yu's words, and his face actually flushed a little.

"Okay, since this matter can't be finalized for the time being, let's get here today! Mr. Qu and Liu Qiang stayed, and the others went back to their residence for the time being! ”

When the leaders heard this, they departed. In the end, only Mr. Qu and Liu Qiang remained.

When everyone dispersed, Yu Ren began to worry. He really wanted to take a few more looks at Li Yu. But I know that in this situation, it is really not suitable for me to appear. Just as he hesitated, the leaders of the council hall were almost gone. Yu Ren just turned around and was about to sneak out after the last few leaders.

But he heard someone behind him stop him. "Don't leave just yet."

Yu Ren's heart jumped, and at this time, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or surprised. But as soon as he stopped, he immediately heard Ying'er's voice again.

"Not about you, but about the one next to you. Leader Jiang, Miss asked you to stay too. Ying'er didn't add on the side.

Only then did Yu Ren notice that there was another leader walking beside him. This is a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, and he looks quite handsome. When the man heard this, he also stopped.

Yu Ren was impatient, so he had to continue to move forward. How much he wanted to be recognized by Li Yu, or stopped by her! However, this scene finally did not happen.

And Yu Ren couldn't stand up on his own or take the initiative to reveal his identity. This is a gentleman's agreement he made with Mr. Qu and Liu Qiang before he came to the council. Because both of them were worried that Yu Ren would reveal his identity in front of the leaders, Li Yu lost control of her emotions and did something that damaged her prestige. So, as an additional condition for bringing him here, the two agreed with Yu Ren in advance that they were not allowed to take the initiative to reveal their identities.

Unless the eldest lady wants to see him by name, he is not allowed to come out. ”

As a condition for entering the council hall, Yu Ren had to agree.

Yu Ren, who withdrew from the council hall, could only wait for Mr. Qu and Liu Qiang outside the door. The place where he stayed was far away from the council hall. The door to the council hall was guarded, and he couldn't get too close, so he couldn't hear what was going on inside.

About half an hour later, Liu Qiang hurriedly walked out of the meeting hall.

Yu Ren hurriedly greeted him. "Did you go back?"

"Nope. Miss, let me call you. ”
