Chapter 415: The Art of Manipulating People
Rising Sun Peak, a relatively hidden forest.
Du Bi held a letter in his hand, respectfully presented it to Long Qinyun, and said, "Uncle Long, this is a letter from the palace!"
Long Qinyun immediately took the letter, quickly tore open the seal, opened the letter inside, and found that it was a blank piece of paper.
However, Long Qinyun was not surprised, he turned the letter paper in the direction of the sun, and as the strong light passed through the letter, rows of words appeared on the original white paper.
I think this is not an ordinary letter, and the information on it must be very confidential, otherwise the writer would not have spent so much effort.
Long Qinyun read the contents of the letter as quickly as possible, and couldn't help laughing at the end.
He clenched his right hand tightly, and the letter paper in his hand immediately turned into powder and floated into the air.
Seeing this, Du Bi on the side couldn't help asking, "Uncle Long, why are you so happy?"
Hearing this, the smile on Long Qinyun's face froze, and his sharp gaze locked on Du Bi's body.
Du Bifang knew that he was talking too much, so he was so frightened that he slapped himself twice in a row, and lowered his head to explain: "Uncle Long, I didn't mean to take your secret, but I was happy for you, and I didn't notice it for a while before I said it. ”
Long Qinyun laughed again at this time, which finally reassured Du Bi's hanging heart.
Long Qinyun said: "Actually, you are not an outsider, it doesn't hurt to tell you, my eldest brother Long Qinfeng was captured by the Feng clan not long ago." ”
As soon as these words came out, Du Bi was stunned. This Long Qinfeng is the first candidate for the crown prince, and he may be in charge of the world in the future.
From this point of view, his identity is even more important than the two princes who were arrested before. For such an important person, the Dragon Clan didn't protect him well, so he fell into the hands of the Feng Clan?
It stands to reason that after what happened before, the dragon clan will definitely strengthen its precautions, especially for those with noble status, and they must protect it well.
However, in such a situation, the Feng clan can still succeed, and this matter is not so simple.
When Du Bi saw Long Qinyun's reaction, he seemed to understand, and faintly felt that Long Qinfeng's arrest had something to do with him.
Imagine, if Long Qinfeng had an accident, the person in front of him who would benefit the most would undoubtedly be the one in front of him, and he would be able to ascend to the throne as the only heir of the emperor and rule the world.
It is terrible to think that a person can do something to his loved ones for his own benefit.
Of course, even if Du Bi guessed, he had to pretend that he didn't know anything. He showed a smirk and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Uncle Long, congratulations to Uncle Long!"
Long Qinyun restrained his smile and asked, "My eldest brother was captured by an old enemy, and his life and death are uncertain, you can tell me about it, where does my joy come from?"
Du Bi replied: "Although Your Highness is your brother, he is also your biggest political enemy, and now that his political enemy is in danger, we can remove him with the help of the Feng clan, and you will be the only legitimate heir in the future, which is naturally a happy event." ”
As soon as the words fell, Long Qinyun's face sank, and he suddenly pointed at Du Bi and scolded: "Bold, you actually dare to provoke me to murder my brother, don't you want to live?"
Du Bi quickly knelt on the ground, sweat gradually oozing from his forehead, could he have said something wrong?
Based on his own understanding of him, as well as his reaction after getting the news for the first time, it is enough to see that he has this in mind.
So Du Bi can be sure that he is not wrong, but he just doesn't understand why the other party is angry.
Du Bi didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately buried his head on the ground and begged for mercy: "Ask Uncle Long for mercy, the disciple will never dare again!"
Long Qinyun didn't mean to deal with him, but when he saw him begging for mercy, his expression began to slow down, and he asked in a cold voice, "Do you know what mistakes you made?"
Du Bi thought for a moment, but he still didn't know why, shook his head and said, "The disciple is ignorant, ask Uncle Long to make it clear." ”
Long Qinyun replied: "There are some things, even if you know it in your heart, you can't say it, and you are wrong about this." ”
Hearing this, Du Bi suddenly realized, and nodded again and again.
Later, Du Bi slowly stood up at Long Qinyun's signal, but he kept his head down and didn't dare to speak again.
He thought that he would be fine if he remained silent, but Long Qinyun would not fulfill his wish, and asked him again: "As His Royal Highness, my eldest brother has collected thousands of favors in his life, and in the face of the current situation, he must be carefully cared for by the Dragon Clan. Under such circumstances, don't you think it's strange that the Feng Clan can still succeed?"
When this sentence was asked, Long Qinyun stared at the other party like a ghost, as if he wanted to find an answer from him.
Du Bi was now in shock, how could he dare to speak casually, but he couldn't be completely silent, so he had to bow his head and reply: "Back to Uncle Long, the disciple doesn't know anything." ”
Long Qinyun didn't seem to be satisfied with this answer, and said sharply: "Raise your head and speak." ”
Du Bi let out a "hmm" and slowly raised his head, but his eyes did not dare to look directly at Long Qinyun, and it seemed flickering to outsiders.
Long Qinyun saw this and said coldly: "I don't think you don't know, but you don't want to say it!"
Seeing that Long Qinyun began to be gloomy again, Du Bi knelt on the ground again and replied, "The disciple doesn't dare to say it." ”
Long Qinyun said: "It doesn't matter if you say it's okay, I forgive you for your innocence, but if your answer doesn't satisfy me, I'm afraid you won't need to continue to work for me." ”
Hearing this, Du Bi didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he replied truthfully: "The disciple just guessed that His Highness's arrest was related to you, Uncle Long. After speaking, Du Bi lowered his head and trembled, because of this sentence, as long as the other party has a heart, he may summon the disaster of killing at any time.
Surprisingly, instead of being angry, Long Qinyun applauded, and personally helped him up, helped him bounce the dust on his body, and his eyes became much softer.
Right now, he is like a different person, giving Du Bi a different feeling. In the past, he was like a suspicious and fickle king, awe-inspiring, but now he is like a sincere and amiable friend, heartwarming.
It's hard to imagine that these two extremes actually come from the same person, which makes Du Bi feel deeply.
Long Qinyun smiled: "Yes, this is indeed from my handwriting, you can think of it, it proves that you are still valuable." I planted eyeliner around the main hall early on, and leaked the whereabouts of the main hall to the Feng clan through him, so the main hall was arrested. ”
Hearing this, Du Bi couldn't help but be a little more in awe of the person in front of him. If you talk about power and scheming, you can't get on the stage in front of him at all.
Du Bi took advantage of this opportunity and hurriedly patted his ass, "Uncle Long is worthy of being the pride of the sky, everything is under your control, and the disciple can do things under you, which is really a blessing from the previous life." ”
This sycophant was just right, which made Long Qinyun happy, but soon he calmed down again and said, "I can spare you this time, but I want to remind you that you can't have any secrets in front of me, otherwise it will be far from being as simple as a disaster." ”
After hearing this, Du Bi replied respectfully: "The disciple takes the order!"
At this point, all of Long Qinyun's seemingly unreasonable performances have a reasonable explanation.
First of all, he repeatedly changed his face and intimidated the other person, in order to create a sense of reverence for himself in the other person's heart.
Of course, it is not enough to be in awe, so in the end, he behaved mildly and elegantly, sympathetic to his subordinates, and achieved both grace and power.
There is another point, he has long seen the necessary thoughts in Du Bi's heart, and has hidden something from him, which is the most intolerable thing as a master.
Therefore, he raised this question to force Du Bi to say what he thought and make him realize a basic fact. That is, no matter how smart he is, he is like a transparent person in front of himself, and there is no secret at all.
These are all scheming strategies that are needed by the master, and Long Qinyun can be said to have used them to the fullest, training Du Bi to be obedient.
In the end, Long Qinyun achieved his goal and motioned for Du Bi to retreat.
Not long after Du Bi left, a shadow suddenly broke into his field of vision, making Long Qinyun stunned, and his face was extremely gloomy.
But I saw that the person who came was dressed in purple, and he was born delicate and cute, which can be called the upper posture, and it was the Bei Xia Yan of Shennong Valley.
Since she parted ways with Ma Fangyu and others, she has asked around about the location of Rising Sun Peak. When she arrived at Rising Sun Peak, she inquired about Long Qinyun's residence without listening. I finally found it, but I never wanted to pounce on it, Long Qinyun was not there.
In desperation, she had no choice but to search around the Rising Sun Peak, and finally found her target here.
When she saw Long Qinyun, an innocent smile bloomed on her face. On the contrary, Long Qinyun stared at her with an unkind face.
"Long Qinyun, I've found you!" Bei Xiayan said as he moved closer to Long Qinyun.
As if he hadn't heard it, Long Qinyun's sharp gaze locked on the other party's body and asked, "How long have you been here?"
Bexia Yan thought for a moment and replied, "It's been four or five hours!"
Hearing this answer, Long Qinyun's face was gloomy to the extreme, and a stream of energy secretly condensed in his palm, thinking that he had a murderous intent.
In his opinion, the other party had been lurking here for four or five hours, and all the conversations between himself and Du Bi before that had been listened to by her, which was a big secret and must not be known to outsiders. And to keep this secret, only the dead can be foolproof.
Bei Xiayan didn't notice Long Qinyun's abnormal behavior at all, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he stopped only a foot away from him, and said coquettishly: "How is it, are you surprised to see me?"
Long Qinyun replied lightly, "The accident caught me off guard. As he spoke, he continued to secretly mobilize the vitality in his body, wanting to kill the other party with one blow.
Bexia Yan smiled: "I was also surprised, I thought I couldn't find you, and I was about to give up." I never thought that just now, I saw a figure rising from here to the sky, so I came here to check, but I didn't expect to see you. ”
As soon as these words came out, Long Qinyun's face changed, and the vitality he had originally mobilized quickly recovered, and asked, "Listen to the meaning of your words, you just arrived here?"
Bexia Yan nodded and replied, "Yes!"
Long Qinyun asked puzzledly, "Then why did you answer me just now that it has been four or five hours?"
Bei Xia Yan asked a little strangely, "Didn't you just ask me when I came to the Nine Heavens Sect?"
After hearing this, the two of them immediately understood, and after looking at each other, they immediately burst into laughter, and the whole atmosphere became much more harmonious.
