"Let the desolate people enter the Inner Ring Land to build a road for us?" Yin He was taken aback and said, "This is unlikely, all the Desolate tribes in the Great Wasteland are in awe of that sacred mountain, and none of the Desolate people want to get close to the Inner Ring Land." ”

Ji Hou said lightly: "It's up to them." ”

Yin He was stunned, and at this time, Wen Yun came over just right, and said: "Here's the thing: the desolate people are afraid of the Divine Mountain and refuse to approach there, this is the common sense in the Great Wasteland, and we also know it, but a few days ago, the high priest convened the three elders of the Council of Elders to discuss, and sternly reprimanded us for being too slow in building roads in the Inner Ring Land......"

Yin He stood up, frowned, and said: "It's a bit inappropriate to say this, I came out of the Inner Ring Land, and I have been in it for three years, and I know very well how hard it is to build roads there, not to mention that the omnipresent divine mountain monster power can erode the flesh, there are all kinds of unheard of and unpreventable dangers over there, whether it is trees, beasts, ground cracks, etc., it may kill people, and even in completely unexpected circumstances, there will be huge monsters that have never been seen to slaughter us." How can we build it quickly under such circumstances?"

By the end, his voice had risen a lot, and he did seem a little angry.

Ji Hou walked over and patted him on the shoulder with his hand, pressed him back to his seat, sighed and said, "Don't be angry, listen to Wen Yun finish speaking." ”

Wen Yun nodded, and continued: "We all understand what you said, but maybe the high priest has lived in the temple for a long time and doesn't know much, but he is an old man with a high status and a dedicated service to the gods. By the way, the most important thing this time is that the high priest made it clear to the three elders that the instructions to speed up the construction of the road to heaven were the oracles that the gods gave to him. ”

"Oracle?" Yin He was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to say.

In the great Holy City, although the Council of Elders is extremely powerful, the source of the common faith of all human races is, of course, the gods in the temple. The high priest said so, and indeed several elders had no choice but to act according to their words.

Wen Yun seemed to be a little helpless about this, nodded and said: "Yes, it's an oracle, so you know Elder Ji's difficulties, that is, at that time, the high priest said that since our human race has all kinds of difficulties in building the road to heaven, let the desolate people build the road, they are strong, and, and ......"

He glanced at Ji Hou, there seemed to be some hesitation in his mouth, Ji Hou waved his hand, and said, "Since you want to entrust you with a big matter, there is nothing to hide from Yin He." ”

Yin He's heart jumped, looked at Wen Yun, saw him hesitate for a moment, and said: "Although he didn't say it explicitly, but in the negotiation that day, the meaning of the high priest was actually very clear, the lives of the desolate people are worthless, don't have any scruples, everything is focused on building roads, even if you sacrifice them...... It doesn't matter. ”

Yin He's face changed, and he turned his head to look at Ji Hou.

Ji Hou shook his head, sighed, walked back to the desk with his hands behind his back, and said, "I was in the temple that day, and when I saw the meaning of the high priest, it should be that even if this group of desolate people dies, he also wants us to catch other desolate people, or even more of them, and keep filling them in until this road is repaired." ”

Yin He was silent and couldn't say a word for a long time, Ji Hou looked at him and said, "What do you think of this matter?"

Yin He hesitated for a moment, glanced up at this Elder Ji, and said slowly: "If you really want to do this thing, there will be a lot of deaths." ”

Ji Hou nodded, but didn't speak, just looked at Yin He, as if he was still waiting for his words.

Yin He gritted his teeth and said: "I know the danger in the Inner Ring Land, if I forcibly accelerate at all costs, even if these thousand people die is not enough, maybe it will take several times more lives to fill it." ”

Ji Hou's face still didn't change, and he even looked a little indifferent, and said, "Then what? Is it possible to cultivate?"

The corners of Yin He's eyes twitched, then he slowly lowered his head, and after a while, he said, "As long as there is no terrifying demonic beast that is completely invincible, it should be able to be cultivated." ”

"Good. Ji Hou nodded and sat back in his chair.

※※※

"There are so many desolate people, so many lives, if they are really filled on this road, it will hurt the heavens and the peace, even if the people of our human race in the holy city know about it, I am afraid that there will be an uproar. Yin He looked at Ji Hou and said.

"Yes. Ji Hou said, "So let's not let them know." ”

Yin He smiled bitterly and said, "Do you have to do it?"

Ji Hou's face, which had always been calm and calm, suddenly flashed a trace of irritability, slapped the table with his hand, and said with a little anger: "Of course I don't want to do it, who would want to do this kind of?" But what can I do, this is an oracle, this is the will of the gods through the high priest, do you think I can disobey the will of the gods?"

Yin He was speechless.

Ji Hou took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, then looked at Yin He and said, "What's the matter?" Now that you know the ins and outs of this matter, are you willing to help me do this?"

Yin He was silent for a moment, shook his head and was about to speak, but was suddenly stopped by Ji Hou shaking his hand, and said, "This matter is very difficult and dangerous, of course I won't let you do it in vain." As long as you are willing to help me, I will promise to do my best to help you regain the Yin family, if I am not mistaken, your father Yin Mingyang has now completely given up on you, and wants to pass on the family business to your half-brother?"

Yin He was stunned and didn't speak for a while.

Ji Hou said again: "You also grew up in our family circle when you were a child, and I believe you have seen a lot of this situation." If you can't be the head of the family, the person in charge of the family business, the head of the family is your own brother-in-law, but if you are a side branch, I don't need to tell you how unlucky you will be, right?"

He smiled coldly, his eyes were sharp, and he seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and said: "To put it mildly, even if you want to be higher and don't care about these family businesses, but what if you have descendants in the future? They could have lived a life of being a superior person, do you want them to go to the streets to be street stewards like you did before, or risk your life to join the army to fight and patrol for the sake of your future?"

Yin He's face changed, his hands slowly clenched, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "Elder Ji, why did you choose me?"

Ji Hou nodded, stretched out two fingers, and said: "First, you have done a good job in the past few days, acting decisively, calmly and perseveringly, you are a good material, I think you are a good material, and second, you finally stood on my side, I believe in you." I must leave such a big thing to someone I can trust, but among the people around me who can use it, except for you, no one has been to the Inner Ring. ”

Yin He smiled bitterly and said, "It should be that all the children of the family probably wouldn't want to go to that kind of place." ”

Ji Hou said lightly: "In addition to these two reasons, there is one most important one, which is that Red Lotus believes in you. ”

Yin He was stunned, and only heard Ji Hou say: "Among the children under my knees, it seems that only Red Lotus has outstanding talents, and she can become a great weapon in the future." But now it seems that she is highly valued by the high priest, and she is afraid that she will take over the position of high priest in the future. At that point, she should need some helper who can do things for her in the world, and such people must be able to gain her trust. I think you're the best candidate. ”

Yin He had heard Ji Honglian say that he might rarely have time to come out after entering the temple, and when he heard Ji Hou say this, he suddenly faintly understood, his heart hurt inexplicably, and he was a little confused, and then shook his head and said, "Thank you Elder for your love, but I ...... I feel that my abilities are limited, and if Red Lotus really becomes the High Priestess, there is really nothing I can do to help her. ”

Ji Hou snorted, with a bit of determination on his face, and said: "My other children are not successful, if you can really make some achievements, then even if I do my best to help you and let you sit in my position in the future, why is it difficult?"

Yin He's body shook violently, stood up, looked at Ji Hou and exclaimed, "Elder Ji ......"

Ji Hou's expression was solemn, his eyes were solemn, and he didn't mean to joke, just staring at him deeply.
