Several people sat down around the table, and Tao Qiqi poured a cup of tea for everyone.

Watching Nangong Yi drink all the tea in the cup in one gulp, Nangong Ye took the initiative to ask, "Tell me, why is it here?" If I'm not mistaken, your fiefdom isn't in the south, right? ”

Nangong Yi replied: "Actually, I don't say it, the third brother must already have a number in his heart." It was the second brother who asked me to come. ”

Nangong Ye asked again: "Then you have been bought by him?" ”

Nangong Yi replied anxiously: "No, I have no choice." Third brother, you know, if I didn't agree to him, I would have already gone to see my father. Promise him that I am also a stopgap measure. ”

"And the purpose of your trip is to convince me to help him?"

"No, I won't convince the third brother of any decision on his own. This time, I came to find the third brother as a backer. Ask the third brother for refuge. Since I heard about the third brother, I temporarily agreed to the second brother's request, and then took the initiative to propose to the second brother that I should come close to the third brother. In this way, I can come to the third brother justifiably, and the second brother will arrange someone to protect me on the way in order to let me successfully approach the third brother. ”

"Aren't you afraid of angering him by doing this?"

"As long as I get close to the third brother, he doesn't know what I told you. Besides, if you can have the protection of the third brother, it doesn't matter if you anger him or not. ”

After hearing this, Tao Qiqi on the side couldn't help but say: "Then you are pulling your third brother into the fire pit." ”

"How can it be said that it was pulling my third brother into the fire pit? What the second brother wants, the third brother also knows, as long as the third brother does not agree for a day, even if there is no me, the second brother will not give up on the third brother. Don't you know what happened along the way? In order to get close to the third brother, how much effort did the second brother put into it? ”

Tao Qiqi nodded: "That's right." However, is your second brother so easy to fool? While you agreed to cooperate with him, you came to your third brother for refuge. Why would he believe that you would not betray him? ”

Nangong Yi replied: "I'm here, he has already taken what he wants." For me, it's just a pawn for him. He is now using me, since he wants to get the third brother's thing, he can only choose to believe it. ”

"Then your choice is very good, and neither side will be offended." Tao Qiqi ruthlessly exposed Nangong Yi's abacus.

Nangong Yi didn't quibble after hearing this, and even boldly admitted it.

"That's right, I don't dare to offend any of them, because I just want to live."

A sentence of being alive made Tao Qiqi couldn't help but look up at him.

Although she has not personally experienced the struggle for power, in her last life, whether she read novels or costume dramas, the open and secret battles of the royal family were not simple.

Some people are for power, some are for money, and some people are just to live.

Nangong Ye used to not fight or grab in order to live.

Today's Nangong Yi must not offend any party, and the same is true.

And isn't she trying to become stronger and make money in order to live?

Then what reason do you have to laugh at others?

"I'm sorry." Tao Qiqi apologized to Nangong Yi and poured him a cup of tea.

Nangong Yi was not angry, but continued: "Actually, I don't care who sits in that position, I just hope that he doesn't attack his brother, I just hope that he can think more about the people."

Since the eldest brother sat in that position, although he has not seen any action against us brothers at present, he knows about the second brother's dark box operation, and he is actually waiting for an opportunity if he does not stop it.

Not only that, but he also didn't care about the lives of ordinary people. On the way here, the people were discussing and waiting for the relief food, but what they didn't know was that there would be no relief food at all. ”

"Why?" Tao Qiqi looked puzzled.

Nangong Yi replied: "In the past few years of drought in the north, there has been no harvest for more than two years, and the people have no rice to cook, and there is no rice to pay for grain. If you can't pay the grain, the granaries will be empty. Without food, how can the soldiers at the border ensure that they can defend the country. Although the south side was not affected much, there were many people who reached out to ask for food, and it could not be managed. ”

Tao Qiqi: "If you really want to manage, you can still squeeze out a little bit between your fingers, as long as you have a little bit, it is enough for those people to live." ”

After listening to Tao Qiqi's words, Nangong Yi nodded approvingly: "Indeed." A squeeze is enough for the people to live. But the problem is that at this critical juncture, he is not thinking about his people, but about how to expand his territory. ”

歘——

Hearing this, Tao Qiqi stood up from the stone bench directly angrily, "If the people of this Dayong are starving to death, it is useless for him to expand his territory." Do you plan to bury all this dirt on yourself when you die, and then press it into the 18th layer of hell? ”

"18 floors of hell? What do you mean? Nangong Yi asked suspiciously.

Tao Qiqi found that he was rude, but fortunately, there was no such thing as 18 layers of hell at this time, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay." ”

Seeing that Tao Qiqi said that it was okay, Nangong Yi did not continue to ask, but looked at his third brother, and then asked tentatively: "Doesn't the third brother have any plans now?" ”

Nangong Ye understood what Nangong Yi wanted to ask, looked up at him, and replied lightly: "Yes." ”

As soon as Nangong Yi heard this word, his eyes lit up, and he was about to say something, but Nangong changed his tone of conversation and said: "Take your Aunt Jiang to the fiefdom safely and live your own life, this is my plan." ”

"Third brother, you know what I want to ask!"

"What is it?" Nangong Ye deliberately continued to pretend to be stupid.

"Among us brothers, I know that you are the only one who is best suited for that position, and I believe my father thought so at the beginning. But why are you? Can you really bear to watch the people suffer now? ”

"What if that doesn't happen? Thousands of miles to send people's heads? ”

This is a sentence that Tao Qiqi said at the beginning, and he picked it up and used it here.

But now he really understood the meaning of the sentence.

"Third brother, don't you still have a peach boy. At least it's stronger than me and my second brother, and my second brother is not willing to be weak, so you shouldn't be unmoved. Or did you really never think about that position from the beginning to the end? ”

"Didn't think about it. I won't think about it in the future. So don't say that again. If you want to live, you must understand what to say, what to say, what not to say, and what not to say. ”

It's not that he hasn't thought about it now, it's because he thinks too clearly, so he is unmoved.

A good hand is invincible to a double fist, and a double fist is hard to beat a four-hand, he thinks too clearly.

Although he currently has Qiqi protection, protection is one thing, and he can't do it to let Qiqi risk his life to snatch that position for him. No matter how powerful Qiqi is, it is no more powerful than tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

As for the common people, he can only say that he will do his best to obey the destiny of heaven and do his best.

Nangong Yi saw that the third brother didn't seem to have that idea, so he didn't continue the topic, but his mind obviously became a lot heavier.

The eldest brother is ruthless, the second brother is ruthless, only the third brother can really achieve national peace and security when he sits in that position, but the third brother has no such thoughts.

Tao Qiqi on the side looked at the topic that the two brothers suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere was also a little tense, and he wanted to say something to liven up the atmosphere, but the voice of the system suddenly sounded.
