"Understood. Yi Chen sighed secretly in his heart, but remained silent on the surface.

"What's the matter, you still haven't thought about it, okay?" Chao Yan had been observing his expression, and couldn't help but pout, "It's okay, my young lady said, everything is up to your will, if you don't look down on our Dongliu Palace and want to find another high branch, we will definitely not stop it." ”

"Really?" Yi Chen smiled faintly, "Is this really what your young lady said?"

"......" blushed towards Yan and didn't have an interface.

Yi Chen was happy when he saw it: "I know, this can't be what Fairy Ling said, just imagine what kind of place is Dongliu Palace, I am just a white ding, and I am still looking for another high branch? Where to look? Is it difficult to join the Beihai Alliance of Yongyu Fairy? It seems that the ranking of the Beihai Alliance is not as good as your Dongliu Palace, right?"

"Of course. Speaking of this, the little girl's face showed a hint of pride again.

But soon, she was a little embarrassed by Yi Chen's gaze, and hurriedly continued: "You don't have a better choice, for example, the Guiyuan Sect where the egglet is located, people are one of the top three sects, and in terms of prestige, it is even a little higher than our Dongliu Palace." ”

"Guiyuan Sect?" Yi Chen frowned, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about these sects, if you want to join, you must also follow an acquaintance, what kind of cowardice is Bao Gongzi, I really don't know him well, so forget it." ”

"So, I'm your acquaintance, right?~" Xiao Nizi immediately put her hands in her face and said with a smile.

"You don't count. ”

"What did you say!?" The girl immediately turned into an aunt and grandmother, with a fierce and vicious face.

"Why are you so loud? Yi Chen smiled and said, "What is an acquaintance? An acquaintance is a person who is relatively familiar with each other, has dealt with each other, has a certain relationship, but is not very close. As for the two of us, hehe, who is with whom, we have been very close friends for a long time, right? At this stage, how can the word acquaintance be described?"

"Phew, who is intimate with you? You think beautifully!" Chao Yan glanced at him, but his tone warmed up greatly, and the corners of his mouth and eyebrows were slightly raised.

"Yes, yes, Xiaosheng doesn't know what to do, he has climbed high, and I ask the fairy to forgive me. ”

"Go!" Chao Yan stretched out his hand to hit him, and said, "Then what do you think now? Do you really not plan to go with us? ”

"Hmm. Yi Chen nodded, arched his hand very solemnly and said: "I know very well the kindness of you and your young lady, so let me think about it again, before you leave, I will definitely give you an answer, how about it?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you. Chao Yanxi smiled, stretched out his hand and slapped his palm.

......

On the other side, Ye Junshou had just sent off the last group of guests and returned to the inner house, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Lord Hong standing there, looking up at the sky, as if he was preoccupied.

"What's the matter, brother?" Ye Junshou immediately greeted him, "It's time to rest and don't go to rest, is it really that annoying?"

"What do you say?" Lord Hong sighed, "It's been three days, and the matter is still inconclusive, how can you let me not be in a hurry?"

"Hey, brother, I won't tell you, I'm also very blocked in my heart, and I'm about to talk to you, come, come into the house, let's talk slowly. ”

Ye Jun kept his word, pushed open the door, ordered someone to make some tea and pastries, and asked them to close the door and leave, and then said: "Brother, the current situation is relatively clear, although I can ensure that kid does not die, but in other places, it is inevitable to pay some price in order to calm down the Qinghe Valley and not continue to pursue it." ”

"I understand. Lord Hong nodded, "Qinghe Valley is powerful, Brother Ye, since you are an official here, you have to rely on them, otherwise there will be many constraints in doing things." ”

"Hey, brother, it's good to understand, it's not easy for a foolish brother to be a local official all these years, the imperial court decrees must be maintained, the local magnates must be taken care of, and the sect forces must also cooperate properly with them to benefit each other, if either side does not take care of it and has a grudge, it will be difficult to do things in the future. ”

"yes. Lord Hong nodded, thinking deeply, "Brother Ye is well versed in the ways of officialdom, and these are also things that I have been studying hard in recent years. ”

"You?" Ye Junshou laughed, "Forget it, you can't learn these nonsense things, since I saw you for the first time, I knew what kind of person you were, maybe you understand these truths clearly, but if you really want to do it, I'm afraid you will disdain it." ”

"Aha......" Lord Hong smiled awkwardly and did not continue the topic.

What kind of person he is, he knows best in his heart, Ye Junshou's words are really not wrong at all, he understands the reason, but he can't do it, no way......

Fortunately, Ye Junshou did not continue to discuss, but diverted the topic and said: "In the past few days, people from Qinghe Valley have come to me several times, at first it was Liao Protector, he, I am still relatively familiar, I have cooperated before, and they are easy to talk to each other, but then suddenly a woman came, which made it a little difficult for me." ”

"Female?"

"Yes, it is said that her surname is Mei, and she is also a Dharma protector, but her weight seems to be heavier than Liao's Dharma protector, and she speaks harder. ”

"Well, what's the hard air method?"

"It's nothing special, it's just that she can represent the lord of Qinghe Valley with full powers, and what she means is what the valley lord means, so when she speaks, she rarely gives in. ”

"Hmph, I'd like to hear what she means. ”

"Okay, I'll tell you, at first she came to me, and her tone was very strong, just to convict that kid, and she couldn't do it without a beheading. ”

"Hey, make her big dreams in the spring and autumn season! What kind of decision, she said to cut it? How old is she?"

"Yes, of course I couldn't agree to her, so I reasoned with her evidence, and later she also changed her mind, saying that the death penalty could be avoided, and the living crime could not be escaped. ”

"yes, that's a little bit better. ”

"That's not it, in fact, we all know this matter in our hearts, but the necessary procedures still have to be walked, she asks for a price, I will pay it back on the spot, and we have to negotiate a result that everyone can accept. ”

"What will be the final result?

"Not yet. ”

"So, what are their requirements?

"Of course, you can say it, but I'm afraid that you will inevitably be indignant when you hear it. ”

"It's okay, please. ”

"Oh well. Ye Junshou took a sip of tea and said: "This Mei Protector is very poisonous, and he actually wants me to try to cancel that kid's fame, deprive him of the first place in the three tests, and then ......."

"And then?"

"Nothing. Ye Junshou was vague for a moment, and said: "In this way, that kid's biggest reliance will be gone, his fame will be canceled, and he will not be qualified for the township examination in the future, and he will have to go back and retake the exam step by step, hey, it is really the most poisonous woman's heart." ”

"Ridiculous!" Lord Hong couldn't help but shoot the case, and there was a burst of indignation in his heart.

"Calm down. Ye Junshou frowned, "I said I couldn't tell you earlier, you still don't believe it, how about now, I still can't help but jump up, right?"

Master Hong sat down at this time and said angrily: "Brother Ye, how can you say that she can come up with such a poisonous plan? Cancel her fame, I'll fuck it! This year's main exam is me, I want to see why she canceled the top merit of my personal evaluation!"

"Look, I'm excited again, after all, this is just her suggestion, and it's still inconclusive, what are you anxious about. ”

"I'm sorry, Brother Ye, I've always been like this, and you didn't know me on the first day, please forgive me. ”

"Okay, okay. Ye Junshou glanced at him, and said: "Although this condition is cruel, it is undoubtedly much stronger than losing his life, but considering that kid is young and hot-blooded, and his heart is high, he will definitely not accept this matter, if he is really deprived of his fame, I am afraid that he will collapse from now on." ”

"Yes, anything else is fine, but I can't agree to this. ”

"So, I refused, but it seems that the woman will not give up, but is determined to do it. Hey, her Qinghe Valley is powerful, if she is really allowed to continue, the outcome is still unknown. ”

"Don't worry, Brother Ye, the matter of fame is mainly on me, if I don't nod, can she still tamper with my edict?"

"That's naturally impossible, but to do this, you don't have to use this kind of indiscriminate method. ”

"Oh, what else can be done then? I really want to see it!"

"Hmm...... I can't say for sure, anyway, I didn't agree, so she said goodbye first, saying that it was getting late, and she had to go to Dongping Academy. ”

"Dongping Academy, what is she going to do there?"

"What else can I do, naturally it is lobbying, I guess she will make trouble for a while first, and then make conditions to force Dongping Academy to comply. ”

"Yes, I think Brother Ye's words are wrong, what kind of place is Dongping Academy, how can you obediently listen to him at the mercy of Qinghe Valley?"

"Brother, you only know one and don't know the other, that kid has been eyebrow-raising with Dongping Academy, and he is almost about to join them, and suddenly there is such a thing, you say, has he become a hot potato?"

"Well, indeed. ”

"Since Dongping Academy wants to continue to hold this hot potato in its hands, it will inevitably be scalded off a layer of skin! As for Qinghe Valley, it is hopeless to fight for it anyway, so it is better to make a fuss and let Dongping Academy have more blood, do you think this is the reason?"

"Yes......"

"So let's not care about him so much now, let them fight first, see what the result of their discussion is, and then make a judgment, it's better than struggling with it ourselves and wasting time and mood in vain. ”

"Brother Ye is smart, and the younger brother admires it. ”

"What do you admire, the trick here, I don't believe that you can't think of it with that head, it's nothing more than a concern, if you want me to say, don't think too much, this kid's life has been ensured to be safe at the moment, but it is inevitable that he will suffer some hardship, and when the time comes, you will have to be comforted by you, the examiner." ”
