As long as Sima Liang was in a trance, the people below knelt for as long as he wanted.

The others were fine, but Feng Si looked a little overwhelmed. He was on the move all year round and was in poor health. Kneeling all the time, his waist pole was a little unbearable.

Seeing this, Feng Qi wanted to ask Sima Liang to let his old father stand and speak.

But before he could speak, he was glared back by Feng Si. As an older man, he knew he couldn't speak anymore now. If you anger the superior, don't go against the other person's will again. This is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.

Time passed little by little, and Sima Liang never made a sound, nor did he look at the people below. It was as if they had forgotten their existence.

Until Feng Si couldn't hold his body anymore and lay on the ground.

Sima Liang glanced at him. He didn't mean to keep these people on their knees all the time. It's that he really can't think of how to solve the next thing.

However, the silence has been a long time. He can't put pressure on him anymore. After all, these people will still use it in the future, and they can't go too far.

"Let's all get up and stand." Sima Liang's tone was very flat, as if there were no mood swings.

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

……

Sima Liang sat upright, propped his hands on the table, and glanced at the people present.

"I don't want to say anything more about the past. From now on, as long as it is related to me, whether good or bad, you are not allowed to hide it from me. This is my most basic requirement for you. If I do it again, I won't say anything, but just do something. ”

Sima Liang's tone was calm, but everyone present could hear the anger in it.

"Lord Wang, definitely not."

"It's impossible to do it again."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

……

These people's words of gratitude did not satisfy Sima Liang. Instead, it made him feel powerless.

Maybe here, I'm also being calculated.

Xiao Shunzi knows my bottom line, so he designed such a play?

Are you planning to let these people die on my boat?

Or let me get on their boat?

Sima Liang's suspicion made him see more things. But knowing more is not a good thing.

However, it is useless to think about it so much now.

"The second thing, starting today. Except for Sheng Wang and Rong Yang, who were still participating in the event, the rest of the people. None of them are allowed to come into contact with the dusk. I have always been a person with them. It won't be a person all the way. ”

"I don't want to listen to your assurances, I want to see your deeds." Sima Liang interrupted the act of loyalty below.

"One last thing, I want you to be ready. Jiangnan and Saki are about to usher in the changes, as for what they are and when, I can't deduce yet. Therefore, we should pay attention to ocean trade, daily business, and interpersonal communication. Especially the old-fashioned scholars outside of Yancheng, don't get too involved. ”

Sima Liang's words made the people present understand, but they didn't fully understand. Because of some rumors, they also knew some movements in Qiguo and Jiangnan, but they didn't know as much as Sima Liang.

"Do you understand?" Sima Liang asked.

"The contemptible knows."

"I'll keep an eye out for it later."

……

Listening to these people's answers, Sima Liang didn't want to explain more.

"Rongyang stays, and the rest is busy." Sima Liang pointed at Rong Yang, he had other things he wanted to know from the other party.

"It's the prince."

……

When the door was opened, Sima Liang suddenly remembered something and stopped the person who was about to leave.

"By the way, Uncle Ning is dead. Ningcheng may be chaotic over there, so be careful when doing business with that side. Don't be like before. ”

Although this news is very big, knowing that Sima Liang is coming and going to Ningcheng quickly, he can also guess something. After expressing some regret, everyone left the study.

Seeing that only himself and Sima Liang were left in the room, Rong Yang was a little nervous. His restrained behavior was completely inconsistent with his age.

In fact, you can't blame Rong Yang. When Qi Xun was there before, he was an echo worm. Later, he was criticized by Qi Lan, although he was dissatisfied, he still continued the habit of facing Qi Xun. Now that he has changed from Qi Lan to Sima Liang, he hasn't changed much.

"Sit down." Sima Liang motioned for Rong Yang to sit in front of him.

Sima Liang stood up and took out something from the dark compartment of the bookshelf behind him. Then it was thrown to Rongyang.

"Let's see."

Although Rong Yang had doubts, he still picked up the things and looked at them. He removed the wrapped white scarf. Saw what's inside.

"What is this?" Rong Yang swallowed.

"Look at the words."

Rong Yang's trembling hand turned over the seal. When he saw the eight words below, he shook his hands and threw the seal on the table.

"It's ......"

"Yan Guo Jade Seal." Sima Liang's bland words replied to Rong Yang.

Receiving the answer, Rong Yang was dumbfounded. He was participating in the rebellion, but the jade seal was such a thing. He still hasn't touched it. Not to mention a real Yan jade seal.

"Lord Wang, where did you get it from? Didn't this thing lose it when the Yan Kingdom was destroyed? Rong Yang asked.

Sima Liang stood up, took the jade seal from Rongyang's table, and then played with it.

"The process doesn't matter, you just need to know that I have this in my hands."

Sima Liang's words made Rong Yang unable to figure out his thoughts.

"Lord Wang, what do you want to do with this?"

"I won't do anything yet, I just wanted to ask you. How many waves can this thing make in the twilight meeting. Sima Liang touched the inscription on the jade seal, showing carelessness.

Rong Yang was asked like this, and his expression changed rapidly. Eventually, he sighed. Looking at Sima Liang in front of him, he felt that there was something wrong with his choice. Obviously, the Lord in front of him is not the kind who lives a stable life. At least not now.

"It's hard to say, but the meaning is still very important. At the very least, some distant congregations may be able to unite as a result. Of course, it is completely possible, and many congregations that are far away have not been in touch for many years. I don't know what's going on. ”

Sima Liang nodded. Then he threw the jade seal to Rong Yang again.

"Give it to you, it's useless for me to keep it. You look at it. ”

Rong Yang caught the jade seal in a panic.

"It's not good, in case it gets caught."

"Then don't be found." Sima Liang did not give Rong Yang a chance to shirk.

Rong Yang's face became ugly, he only thought that he would be held accountable this time. But I didn't expect to receive a hot potato. Originally, he was ready to make a decision with the Dusk Meeting.

Now this thing has undoubtedly pulled him deeper into the quagmire. The main thing is that this is the opposite of the situation of the rest of Sima Liang's subordinates. It made him feel like an outcast who could be discarded at any moment.

Perhaps seeing Rong Yang's uneasiness, Sima Liang stood up and patted the other party's shoulder.

"Don't be afraid of Rongyang, I need someone in the twilight meeting now. If something happens later, I'll let you go overseas too. Qi Lan's departure, you should have seen it too. And you've seen this, you don't have to choose. ”

As Sima Liang said, Rongyang has no choice. Now he can't devote himself to it anymore and go back to the twilight meeting. And through some behavior, and can no longer go all the way with the prince. Sima Liang was the last dock he could go ashore.

Thinking about these clearly, Rong Yang sighed.

"Okay, lord. I'll try. I hope you can take good care of the Rong family and keep the Rong family. ”

Receiving a response, Sima Liang smiled. He hadn't figured out the layout of the Dusk Meeting, though. But in order to understand more of the Dusk Society's moves, Rong Yang's move must be played.

"By the way, did you say anything to you when Qi Lan left? Also When did she leave? Sima Liang asked.

Asked about Qi Lan, Rong Yang showed a puzzled expression.

"Miss, you didn't say anything to me. And not long after she came to Yancheng, she left. I guess I left on December 8th. At that time, the purging was very strong, and after she learned about the situation, she notified some people who wanted to leave, and then left. ”

"Well, didn't she mention me?" Sima Liang was a little disappointed.

"Nope."

Sima Liang sighed. For Qi Lan, he has a complex emotion. He wanted to get close to each other, but he didn't dare to approach them. It can be said that it is very contradictory.

"By the way, Miss Qi has a child by her side. And a man who was paralyzed. I haven't seen it, but it seems to have been brought from Saki Country. ”

"Kid? A person who is paralyzed? Sima Liang was a little puzzled. Suddenly something occurred to him.

Could it be that the person who killed Cui Xian was Qi Lan? It should be.

That kid should be Shangguan Qiuhua.

What a hassle.

Attention was shifted to other matters, and Sima Liang once again put Rong Yang aside.

After a while, Sima Liang came back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, I thought about something else." Sima Liang looked at Rong Yang apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. Does the prince have any other commands? Rong Yang naturally didn't dare to have any opinions, so he had to greet him with a smile.

Sima Liang paused.

"By the way, you can help me find out about the big southern island. Later, the trade of the country was cut off, and there were so many ships that they had to do business. We'll have to see what other routes there are. I heard that there are a lot of remnants of Yan Country over there, and your people may be better off investigating in the past. ”

Sima Liang threw a trouble over, and Rong Yang felt bitter in his heart. But he has the right to refuse, so he can only accept it all.

After explaining everything, Sima Liang was very considerate and sent Rongyang to the door of the study.

"Do a good job, Rongyang." Sima Liang patted the other party on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

"It's the prince." Rong Yang squeezed out a smile in response.

When Rong Yang turned to leave, Sima Liang looked at the little third son who was waiting by the door.

"Go get me a hand stove. Let's take dinner to the study. Also, I'm sorry. I'm wrong about you. ”

After saying this, Sima Liang returned to the study and closed the door.

The little third son who stayed in place only reacted after a while.

"Yes, Your Highness. The minion will do it. ”

With the little third son leaving, Sima Liang sat behind the table again. He pulled out a piece of paper from the table.

It is a vermilion imprint.

"Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity."
