Chapter Seventy-One: The Purple-Faced Immortal
Duan Shanyue was still a little puzzled.
"But why doesn't the emperor blame him at all, how can you say that it is not a good thing for the court officials to openly go to the brothel?"
"That's because......
Forget it, I can't tell you, lest you have a loose mouth, say that you leak your mouth, and you will lose your head and drag Lao Tzu into the water!
In short, you can't steal chickens and rice this time, Lao Tzu spent so much effort to support you to sit in the position of the commander of the infantry army, now it's good, it's all in vain!"
Duan Shanyue could only keep admitting his mistakes: "The lower official should die, he has failed the general's support, please punish the general!"
"Okay! Don't talk nonsense!
Master Yan, please!"
Duan Shanyue saw a person coming out of the inner hall, forty or fifty years old, fat and thin, but his appearance, with a broad face and a sea face, was like purple gold, which was very peculiar.
General Li invited the man to take a seat, but Duan Shanyue stood and asked Duan Shanyue, "Shanyue, do you recognize this master?"
Duan Shanyue looked at the man again and saw that his eyes were full of essence and had the temperament of a grandmaster......
After all, he was born in the martial arts, Duan Shanyue suddenly remembered someone, and immediately hugged his fists:
"Could it be that this is the leader of the Zhongtian Alliance and the Northern Alliance, the head of the Zhongyong Sect, and the Yan Yuan Yan senior, known as the 'Purple-Faced Immortal'?"
"You kid still has some eyesight!" Li Defang turned his head and introduced to Yan Yuan: "This is Duan Shanyue, the deputy commander of the infantry army!"
Li Defang said the word "vice" very seriously, and Duan Shanyue's face was red and white for a while.
Yan Yuan bowed slightly, and said, "I know, I know!"
Duan Shanyue couldn't imagine that a character like Yan Yuan had actually heard of him, and he couldn't help but be proud!
Unexpectedly, Yan Yuan continued: "The champion banquet shows sword skills and stone moving beasts, and Commander Duan is prestigious!"
Duan Shanyue is the most disgusted by others mentioning this stubble!
But the person who said this at this time was Yan Yuan, whether he praised or ridiculed, Duan Shanyue didn't dare to be mad, he could only respond with a red face: "Ashamed! Ashamed!"
"Commander Duan, sit down too!" Yan Yuan said with a big grin.
Duan Shanyue glanced at Li De timidly, and when he saw him nodding, he sat down.
In his heart, he secretly scolded Yan Yuan: "I really don't think of myself as an outsider, do you think this is your loyal and brave sect? This is the Great General's Mansion! What kind of pretend!"
He suddenly thought, what is this Yan Yuan doing here?
Could it really be as rumored that behind the Zhongyong Gate is the imperial court?
Suddenly, I heard Li Defang say: "Master Yan came in person this time, there are two things, the first one is to learn something about you." ”
"Follow me?" Duan Shanyue muttered in his heart, Lao Tzu had never met him before, what could he ask Lao Tzu?
But he heard Yan Yuan say: "Commander Duan, please tell me all the details of the Longyou trial process and the case, especially the suspect's confession!"
This is really embarrassing Duan Shanyue, he has no memory, and his expression ability is not good, one sentence from east to west, it is called a mess!
Li Defang frowned, but seeing that Yan Yuan was engrossed and listened carefully, it seemed to be okay, so he didn't interrupt Duan Shanyue and let him finish speaking.
“...... That's it!"
Duan Shanyue finally said everything he could remember, picked up the teacup and drank it all, and wiped the sweat on his face with his sleeve!
"Is that all?" Yan Yuan asked.
"Hmm!" Duan Shanyue nodded vigorously.
Yan Yuan was silent, his eyes were deep, as if he was sorting out his thoughts.
After a while, Yan Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Commander Duan, you were present at the time, according to you, what the kid surnamed He said, how credible is it?"
Duan Shanyue said firmly: "It's not credible at all! That kid is the same as his eldest brother, he is also a loach-like slippery head, and he must be the quibble he made to get rid of the crime!"
Yan Yuan sneered: "It seems that Commander Duan didn't treat me Yan as his own, and he refused to tell the truth in his heart!"
Duan Shanyue looked at Li Defang in fear.
Li De let it go: "What are you afraid of here? But it doesn't hurt to say it, Master Yan is not an outsider!"
Duan Shanyue said at this time: "To be honest, just looking at the interrogation at that time, that kid didn't tell a lie!"
Even Hao Yitong from the Criminal Department told me privately that he believed that kid!"
"Hahaha......"
Yan Yuan suddenly burst into a wild laugh, and his purple face actually shone brightly, and he said to himself: "Heaven does not live up to me, and great revenge can be avenged!"
Duan Shanyue looked stunned, and was about to ask for an understanding, when he suddenly received Li Defang's stop look, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed back!
When Yan Yuan's mood seemed to calm down, Li Defang said: "This second matter, in fact, we have to worry about the head of Yan, that is, the canonization of the four alliances by the imperial court!"
Yan Yuan lowered his eyelids, took another sip of tea, and said, "This matter, in my opinion, the time has not yet come!"
"How?"
"You and I both know what it means for the Four Martial Arts Alliances to accept the canonization of the imperial court......
The wall between the imperial court and the martial arts has always existed, it is born to grow and deep-rooted, if you want to tear it down, or just open a door first, it will be difficult to climb to the sky!"
Li Defang smiled: "It's a little more difficult, that's why I asked Master Yan to discuss, with Master Yan's status in the martial arts, if you can mediate from it, it will be possible!"
"The general is looking up to Yan! You must know that the current leader of the Martial Arts Alliance is Xue Zhan, the chief helmsman of the Southern Alliance of the Four Seas, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do!"
Li Defang leaned closer and said, "What does Master Yan mean is that if you want to succeed, you must first help you win the throne of the Martial Arts Alliance Master?"
Yan Yuan suddenly looked unhappy, and said, "The general seems to have misunderstood!"
Yan wants to be the leader of this martial arts alliance, but he will rely on his own strength!
If the general thinks that I am using this to negotiate terms with the imperial court, then he is underestimating Yan!"
Hearing that Yan Yuan's tone was not very friendly, Duan Shanyue scolded secretly: "Ge Laozi, so arrogant! Even if you are a purple-faced immortal, in front of the general, how can you be presumptuous?"
But he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only look at Li Defang's face.
General Li didn't seem to care, but said with a smile: "Master Yan is going to be angry, it's me who lost my words!"
The coming year happens to be the year of the re-election of the leader of the North-South Alliance and the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and I wish Master Yan to be invincible and invincible!"
"General Cheng Jiyan!"
Yan Yuan softened his face, hugged his fists to show his gratitude, and sighed again: "In the past few decades, my Zhongyong Sect has indeed received a lot of support from the imperial court!"
And the court has an order, I am strict with someone and the loyal and brave men, and everything I can do is done!
It's just that the matter is big enough to be canonized by the imperial court, even if I take the lead in the Heavenly Alliance, it is impossible for other alliances to follow suit!
At that time, not only will it not be possible, but it will give people a handle and be criticized by words and writings!
Therefore, this matter has to be done gradually, and there should be no rush!"
