The Ninth Princess staggered down the steps to welcome the Grand Steward.

The Grand Steward shook her hand with a smile, then walked over to me.

"Ye Tian, many people have recommended you in front of me, the ninth princess said the most, and also said the most beautifully, she said that you are a young man who is one in a million, and any force in the capital that has you will inject huge energy, so she spares no effort to recommend it to me, I hope you will not let me down."

When he reached out to me, I calmly refused.

Our meeting was an accident, so we can't get too close to avoid any other misunderstandings.

I was very cautious in front of the bigwigs, and I didn't dare to leave the slightest handle.

This is completely different from the ninth princess, she lost the trust of Ma Guifei, the four seas are her home, and she is free to advance and retreat, but the ending must be miserable.

"Ye Tian, tell me, what happened to you at Yuquan Villa? It's in ruins, do you want to turn it into treasure? ”

The manager is handsome and chic, full of witty words, and when he jokes with me, he seems very casual, but in fact, every sentence has a deep meaning.

I shook my head: "I found nothing, I ran in vain, and it was a pity that it was in ruins." I know that the Fountain of Youthfulness is nearby, but the drilling work is too hard, and I am afraid that I will not be able to break through in a short time. ”

It's a ready-made answer that will satisfy everyone, but I know the truth, and the truth is hidden beneath the ruins.

We walked into the living room, and the ninth princess arranged for someone to make tea.

The chief manager looked around and sighed very much: "Ye Tian, it is a great disrespect for an excellent young man like you to live in such a place!" If you come to me, the conditions and treatment will immediately increase tenfold, although you can't enjoy the treatment of state guests, but it must be the best in the capital. ”

The ninth princess patted me on the shoulder and laughed: "Ye Tian, did you hear that?" This is the real Corporal Lixian. Following Ma Guifei, you will never enjoy this kind of treatment, and you can only live in this kind of dilapidated courtyard. ”

The chief manager smiled again: "That's right, people are not romantic teenagers, only houses, how is it possible?" I will open a Swiss bank account for you, unlimited withdrawals, and free spending, so that your life becomes more free. If you want a horse to run, you have to give it grass, right? ”

The ninth princess nodded again and again: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and we people in the rivers and lakes do things, and it is difficult to move an inch without money." ”

I feel that my IQ has been insulted, and it is meaningless to come to the capital only for money and status.

They put so many conditions on me, which is tantamount to trying to buy me, which is a huge debasement of my personality.

"Mr. Boss, I don't want to leave here at all, let alone enjoy fine clothes and food, I am with Ma Guifei, just to learn from her, and I hope that I will become better."

The ninth princess laughed: "It's a joke, you don't know who Ma Guifei is?" She has recruited a lot of young people to stay with her, spend all day and night, we are all her lackeys, she never lets us know what she does......"

These words are simply nonsense, and I know from Ma Guifei's face that she will not be obsessed with beauty.

The words that the ninth princess said were exaggerated, and many of them deliberately belittled Ma Guifei, which made me feel very difficult to accept in my heart, but on the surface, I didn't react at all, just smiled at these two people.

The chief steward waved his hand, and his bodyguard stepped out and stood at the foot of the steps outside the door.

"Ye Tian, I don't have to surrender you, the situation in the capital is changing in an instant, if you can't stand in the right team, you will definitely regret it in the future. I know you're a talent, and I can help you without feeling pressured. ”

The general manager does things like a spring breeze, which is much stronger than Ma Guifei in this regard, but it is a pity that people are pursuing a life in the rivers and lakes, not other people's good words.

What the Ninth Princess has done has shown that she is heading for a point of no return, and following the chief manager can only get superficial prosperity.

"Ye Tian, what are you waiting for? The Grand Governor has come, and he will receive you personally, and if he understands the matter, he will now kneel and surrender and become his man. ”

The ninth princess was drunk, and everything inside and outside the steak was done so naturally.

If Ma Guifei saw all this, she might understand that the Ninth Princess was finished, and she was no longer her subordinate, but someone else's lackey.

"Ninth Princess, what you said makes a lot of sense, I can think about it, but I won't make a decision in a hurry."

Even though I was infinitely dissatisfied, I still smiled naturally on the surface, and I would not let the chief manager see my inner activities.

The chief manager looked down at his watch: "In half an hour, Concubine Ma's people will arrive, I will leave now and not cause trouble for you." However, Ye Tian, I tell you for the last time that when you decide, it is the choice of the wise. ”

He got up and walked out, and the ninth princess stumbled under her feet, sending her off enthusiastically.

I looked at their backs, and at this moment I suddenly had a thought in my heart - pull out a gun and shoot, eliminate the two of them, and then create a scene so that Ma Guifei could see the scene where the traitor and the enemy were eliminated on the spot.

The thought flashed through me and was immediately denied by me.

In the current capital, even if the chief manager is killed, there will be a second or third chief manager who will stand up, and even the three divisions and twelve officials will all become Ma Guifei's enemies, and they can't be killed.

The Grand Steward is just a symbol that represents that position.

Anyone who succeeds him can become Ma Guifei's enemy like him, and if I only care about killing people and making meritorious contributions, I will also step into a dead end.

I went out with me and helped the chief steward across the threshold.

He laughed: "Ye Tian, I'm not that old, I don't need to be supported, you young people, who are knowledgeable and reasonable, will definitely have a bright future in the future." ”

We put him in the car and watched him go.

The Ninth Princess laughed: "Ye Tian, I really didn't expect that the chief manager was extraordinarily kind to you, this is all the result of my recommendation, do you understand?" ”

I'm starting to worry now, when Ma Guifei comes, how will the ninth princess explain tonight's meeting?

I was full of worries, but I didn't say a word.

After all, these words are completely to a drunkard playing the harp to a cow.

She only wanted to see me nod my head and give it to the Archmaster, and nothing else.

We stood at the door and waited for more than ten minutes before Ma Guifei's car came.

The big guys were very well informed, she didn't get out of the car, she just lowered the window glass and looked at us.

The Ninth Princess walked over and reported to Ma Guifei: "The chief manager came here just now and chatted with us for a while. He has no malicious intentions, he just wants Ye Tian to work hard and become a generation of heroes in the capital. ”

I put my hands in my trouser pockets and didn't want to explain anything.

In this case, the explanation is a cover-up.

No matter how much the ninth princess says, she is drunk, and she can laugh it off tomorrow, and I can't say a word now, because I haven't drunk and remain absolutely sober, and Ma Guifei came over overnight to see my performance.

"Ye Tian, how do you feel when you see the chief manager? That's an old fox, one thing on the surface and one thing behind the back, playing with power tricks, and swaying freely. ”

I nodded and walked over slowly.

"Ye Tian, everyone in the capital knows that the chief manager is an actor, when what he says is impassioned, you must listen to it in reverse, and when the spring breeze is full of faces, you must guard against him stabbing him in the back...... There have been so many things like this that I came here in a hurry just to remind you not to let yourself fall into the trap of others, it would be a shame. ”

The ninth princess laughed: "I will help Ye Tian distinguish right from wrong, I will not let him suffer, the chief manager is also sincere, they hope to cooperate with us to deal with other enemies together, and after victory, divide the world equally and divide it into two, how about it?" ”

The ninth princess was so presumptuous, while talking, she gently patted the roof of the car and made a snapping sound.

I didn't show any disgust at the situation.

"Ye Tian, what the Ninth Princess said is right, it's not a bad thing to know more about the situation in the capital, the key is to make your own choices and not follow the crowd......"

The ninth princess was speechless and had no rules, and Ma Guifei's patience seemed to be at the limit, and she beckoned the driver to prepare to drive.

The ninth princess suddenly said: "Concubine, don't think that you have done your best to me and Ye Tian, the treatment of the chief manager is higher, we are in the rivers and lakes, all of us are dying for money, and birds are dying for food, if you can't take care of Ye Tian more, he will fly away one day." ”

I laughed, but Ma Guifei frowned and looked at me again.

"Ye Tian, isn't that so?"

I didn't react at all, and the smile on my face became more and more natural.

This is a difficult question to answer, whether it is or not, it will make Ma Guifei feel like a fish in her throat.

So I didn't open my mouth, leaving all the opportunities to speak to the ninth princess.

"Ye Tian, don't pretend anymore, it's impossible for you not to like money, when you go to the Antarctic Immortal Weng, Niu Ye, and the Seventh Father-in-law, they accept all your bribes, are you all fools when you are others?"

I did a lot of preparations, just to deal with the words of the Ninth Princess, and those gifts were all given to Ma Guifei, which had nothing to do with me.

Ma Guifei laughed: "Ye Tian, I didn't expect you to be so popular, several bigwigs in the capital all favor you, and now even the chief manager is here, and after a while, I'm afraid that all the bigwigs will come to dig the foot of the wall, and then you can leave justifiably." ”

All the questions tonight are difficult questions, and no matter how worded they are, they will leave a handle, so I made the smartest choice - silence.

Ma Guifei can think that I am acquiescing, or I can think that I am against the opinion of the ninth princess, it all depends on her mood.

At this moment, someone rushed to report to Ma Guifei: "I heard that the great painter Golden Finger has made the first judgment on that painting and pointed out who is the traitor, and the whole capital has been shaken, and they are all waiting for that answer." ”

Obviously, the corners of Ma Guifei's mouth trembled, and her hands suddenly clenched into fists.

It was earth-shattering news that whoever was a traitor in that painting would implicate the entire family, and at least a few hundred people would die as a result.

The second message came three minutes later, corroborating the first.

The Seventh Father-in-law was the first to get the news, thinking that the great painter already had an answer, and it had not yet been announced to the outside world, so I was afraid that it would be a shocking battle as soon as he said it.

All the families involved in that painting couldn't sleep at night, just waiting for the final answer.

After being silent for a while, Ma Guifei said slowly: "It's really good news, the seventh father-in-law spent so much money and sent beautiful women, so that the great painter Golden Finger had inspiration, so that he would study that painting thoroughly in such a short time." There is no one before and no one after us, and if we had done this earlier, we would not have had so much trouble. I really want to congratulate the seventh father-in-law, it turns out that he is the smartest person in the capital! ”

I can hear the ridicule in this sentence, obviously, Ma Guifei does not believe that the great painter can give an answer, after all, this topic is too wide-ranging, to make an earthquake in the capital of the high-ranking and noble class, once there is a mistake, it will be a devastating blow, and it will not be able to make up for it.

The news came one after another, and the Antarctic Immortal Weng and Niu Ye also received clues.

They have led a large number of elite soldiers to rush to the villa of the great painter Goldfinger, surrounded the place, and at the same time adopted communication signal interference, no matter what kind of discovery the great painter has, it is impossible to pass it on, and it will fall into their hands.

Ma Guifei always sat in the car, without showing any signs of anger, this concentration is what I admire the most.

"Ye Tian, I don't know what day it is, I suddenly feel that the dark clouds that envelop the capital have suddenly dispersed, what do you think?"
