Chapter 104

Xiao Yezi smiled and kowtowed again: "Since the leader knows Ren Tianwang so well, then Xiao Yezi is an assassin. It's okay, Xiao Yezi was taught by the leader before he died, and he died well. The leader is not the first. Xiao Yezi has been punished for the first time, and this second punishment should be more familiar." She lowered her head and smiled, "Please ask the leader to call someone to summon the sword-wielding messenger to carry out the gang rules, or ask someone to send me away You can also go to the Sword Holding Palace." Xiao Yezi knelt up straight, looked up at Yunxi with a smile on her face, "as long as there are other people besides Lingxiao beside you."

Yun Xi's face suddenly turned cold, she flicked her purple robe, turned around, and sat up on the couch, looking down at Xiao Ye Zi with a pair of indifferent eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You girl is too disobedient. If it weren't for you, you have already been hit Fengrui Camp's unique sect is extremely poisonous, if I kill you right now, it will be regarded as fulfilling you."

"The guild leader knows clearly." Xiao Yezi kowtowed deeply, "Although I don't know how the guild leader found out that I was poisoned, it is enough to show that the guild leader still has a clear mind and can distinguish right from wrong. Even if Xiao Yezi dies immediately, there is nothing to worry about."

"...How to find out?" Yun Xi's face froze, and suddenly turned to Xiao Suo, "Oh, it's all a long time ago."

He paused and called out, "Lingxiao, come in."

Lingxiao entered as he said, and made a salute.

Yunxi asked: "Have all the people who went to Lingyan been dismissed by Ren Tianwang?"

Lingxiao knelt down and replied: "Yes, the leader retreated to recuperate earlier, but Lingxiao didn't dare to tell the leader. Please forgive me."

Yun Xi shook his hand and said: "You are also out of consideration, I don't blame you. Now that I have decided to leave the customs, you just say it's okay. Is there any important matter in the gang in the near future?"

Lingxiao said: "In the past, the four heavenly kings in the gang were still able to fight against each other, but now they are no longer balanced. The Liren Pavilion has gradually declined. A few days ago, I heard that Yang Tianwang was poisoned for some reason, but Lingxiao has already delivered the medicine. In the past, now Tianwang Yang is just recuperating in the Liren Pavilion, and there is no movement."

Xiao Yezi heard that Yang Yizhao was out of the predicament, she immediately relaxed, her legs softened, and she almost fell back.Yun Xi glanced at her lightly, without showing any signs of dew.

I only heard Lingxiao continue: "As for Yunzhong City, it is alone, and it doesn't care about the help. It only focuses on assisting the frontier defense to fight against the Yanjin Empire. The Fengrui Camp is divided into two factions, the leader of the hall, and the faction of Shen Yelai, Li Li and Cheng Che. Hall Master Gao has begun to deliberately approach the Chuangshi Building in order to consolidate his power, but he still has reservations and is also developing his own power. The Chuangshi Building has been well managed by Ren Tianwang for many years, and the wife of the Clan Master is the representative of the Chuang Shi Building. The blessing of the number has formed a trend of being the only one. In addition, I just received two letters today, one is from the Lingyue Dynasty, and the other is from the Cloud City. Please read it." After finishing speaking, he took out two letters from his arms. A letter box, presented by Yu Yunxi.

Xiao Yezi looked at Lingxiao in admiration, she used to think that Lingxiao was orderly, but now after listening to her brief remarks, she can control the situation well and speak concisely, she is indeed a talent.No wonder Yunxi has always valued her highly, working beside Yunxi at a young age really has her merits.

Yun Xi opened the letterbox and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

He looked up at Xiao Ye Zi, didn't say anything, just handed the letter to Ling Xiao.

Lingxiao also read it quickly, and also glanced at Xiao Yezi who was present, and then said seriously: "The front line of Yunzhong City is short of food and wages, but Ren Tianwang excuses natural disasters and man-made disasters to not pay the harvest, and insists on not paying according to the food. The faction is in power, squeezed inside and out, Xue Tianwang is struggling. At this juncture, the leader of Shen Tuisi of the Lingyue Dynasty passed away, and the new leader Shen Zhaoxi has allied with the Yanjin Empire. As a result, our Heavenly King Gang is facing enemies. But the most urgent thing is to solve the problem. The food and payment problem in Yunzhong City. As long as the frontline crisis is resolved, the Genesis Building will naturally not dare to act rashly. As long as the Heavenly King does not fight among themselves, everything can be controlled again."

Yun Xi sighed: "Rate...Rate...Send a letter to the imperial court quickly, please send more grain and grass to Yunzhong City urgently. How much storage is there in the Shanglingyan official treasury? Only keep one-tenth for your own use, and the rest Order Cheng Che and Cheng Kong to escort them to Yunzhongcheng."

Lingxiao replied: "Even if the two Hall Masters Cheng deliver it in time, it will only last for ten days. If Ren Tianwang still refuses to cooperate, I'm afraid that Yunzhong City will suffer disaster from heaven."

Yunxi pondered for a moment, and said: "I still have a lot of calligraphy and paintings presented by celebrities. You ask Chai Song and Tang Ying to sell them, or you can find court officials or rich folks as collateral. In short, raise funds as soon as possible, and buy food and grass within ten days. , and were escorted by Cheng Che."

Lingxiao responded, turned around and was about to handle it.Xiao Yezi listened to the side for a long time, and understood what they were talking about. Seeing that Yunxi and Lingxiao were discussing important matters in the gang but did not order herself to avoid suspicion, she suddenly felt moved. A piece of freedom?

It is God's will that she will come back to serve Lingyan again.Only by grasping the will of heaven can we change the will of heaven into the will of man.

Now that Yunxi is short of money, and calligraphy and paintings can be exchanged for money—she immediately thought, if we talk about elegant things like Wenwan, calligraphy, paintings and ancient books, who in the world can compare to the collection of Yang Yizhao's big mansion in his family?Although the house and all its belongings had already been returned to Yun Huan, sooner or later it was nothing more than a sum of their military expenses.However, their Tuotar tribe has conquered and plundered for many years, and they have gained a lot. They are no longer in the state of desperation in the past, so Yun Huan usually doesn't take the money to heart.Yun Huan has always wanted Yang Yizhao to participate in the power game of the Heavenly King Gang, but as a foreigner, if he doesn't have a strong connection, he is definitely no better than Yang Yizhao and other Zhaoyin people.

If there is a chance to bring Yun Huan to Yun Xi's eyes and be appreciated and reused by Yun Xi, wouldn't his function be better than a hundred Yang Yizhao?If Yun Huan can succeed in taking the position, Yun Xi can also get a helping hand.Considering the relationship between Yun Huan and Yang Yizhao, Yun Xi might also be able to let Yang Yizhao go.With Yun Huan gaining power, he could also become Yang Yizhao's barrier.As long as Yang Yizhao doesn't show his face again in front of Yunxi, I believe Yunxi won't embarrass him too much because of Ren Qingmei.In this way, even if she dies now, at least Yang Yizhao can be kept safe.

Thinking of this, seeing that Lingxiao is about to leave, the conversation is about to end, and he will not come again when the opportunity is not lost.

Xiao Ye Zi made a decisive decision, immediately kowtowed heavily, and said loudly: "Little Ye Zi would like to recommend someone to solve this urgent need for the leader."

Yun Xi was taken aback for a moment, and said lightly: "Little girl, I haven't forgiven your sins yet."

"That's why Xiao Ye Zi asked the helper to give Xiao Ye Zi a chance to solve your worries and problems, so that you can pay off your merits." Xiao Ye Zi fell on the ground and said loudly.

Seeing Yun Xi's expression of disapproval, and seeing Xiao Ye Zi kowtow again and again, knowing that Yun Xi intended to let her go, but did not go down the steps, Ling Xiao immediately smiled and said: "Master, you once teased Ling Xiao, saying that Xiao Ye Zi Although my sister hasn't seen much of the world, she has a quick mind. She doesn't dare to speak in front of people, but when she is in a hurry, she speaks the key. Now that she is in a hurry, she must have some thoughts. You might as well listen to her. If you say it well, you have a good plan. If you say it badly, you can just listen to a joke and relax your heart."

Yun Xi said lightly: "In that case, you can tell."

Xiao Ye Zi kowtowed and said: "Little Ye Zi was wandering outside, and someone introduced him to a Tuotan named Yun Huan. This man is the leader of the Tuotar nomadic tribe, and he has a lot of money. If the leader is willing to accept him to fund this trip Military pay, maybe it can greatly reduce the burden on Cloud City, and it can also leave enough time for the guild master to prepare for later matters."

"Based on your words, do you want someone to give you money?" Yunxi shook her head, "Speaking of children."

Xiao Yezi kowtowed again and said, "Since Xiao Yezi wants to take meritorious service into account, she naturally dares to issue a writ only if she promises what she says. As long as Yun Huan is given a pivotal position, Xiao Yezi guarantees that this person will help him with all his money."

"Status?" Yun Xi pondered.

"Yes. Although the Tianwang Gang is now in conflict, it is still Zhaoyin's first anti-Yan organization. Even if some disloyal people try to seize power, they all want to be the leader of the gang, not for the sake of splitting. But the ancients said that the famous If you are not right, your words will not go well. Although the leader has been in seclusion for a long time, he is still the leader and the first person to preside over the affairs of the Tianwang Gang. As long as the leader is willing to ascend to the top, whether it is the court or the people, you must first recognize you, Xiao Yunxi Xiao The guild leader is the king of the Tianwang Gang. In this case, why doesn’t the guild leader take this opportunity to reorganize the personnel of some sub-rules? In this way, first, it can deter unnecessary dissidents, second, it can alleviate the hardship of military pay, and third, it can re-absorb talented and different people. Sergeants, build your own circle of cronies."

Xiao Yezi's rapid-fire speech really caught Yun Xi's attention.Lingxiao also pondered: "Although this move is dangerous, it is not completely impossible to break the predicament."

"If I forcibly use my power to overthrow the Heavenly King Gang due to internal strife, wouldn't it be my crime?" Yun Xi snorted.

Xiao Ye Zi kowtowed and said: "As long as the name is right, no one will dare to make irresponsible remarks on the surface. And..." She took a breath, "Some people shouldn't have been in certain positions for too long. .”

"Who are you referring to?" Yun Xi asked lightly.

"If it can..." She calmed down for a moment before continuing, "If King Yang can abdicate to the virtuous, it may not be a matter of getting the best of both worlds for the leader."

"Yang Yizhao?" Yun Xi was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned cold, "Do you think that the leader of the gang will privately slander the loyal members of the gang because of some nonsense?"

Xiao Yezi kowtowed and said: "As the leader said just now, the rumors about Yang Tianwang and someone in these years may be nonsense caused by chatting, or it may be a scheming plot by someone with a heart. How many years has the leader worked hard against this thunder? , It means that the gang leader has secretly supported Yang Tianwang for many years. Otherwise, people's words are terrible, how can Yang Tianwang alone be able to defeat Youyou's mouth? It's not all because the gang leader tried his best to protect talents. But Yang Yizhao was in power Since Liren Pavilion, Liren Pavilion has indeed not done much, and cannot share the worries of the Clan Leader. As long as Yang Yizhao is willing to let the virtuous, the Clan Leader can naturally give this vacancy to Yun Huan in the name of meritorious service. Yun Huan loves power and fame. The position of the Lord of Ren Pavilion will definitely impress Yun Huan, and in exchange, the military support will naturally come in handy. The lack of food and salary is the first shirk responsibility of the Chuangshi Building. At the time of crisis, for the safety of Yunzhong City, the lord will not hesitate to break the rules to raise food and grass to turn the tide Isn't it a favor to Yunzhongcheng? In this way, there is room for negotiation with Yunzhongcheng. Xue Tianwang must know how to repay this kindness. What's more, what the leader does is beneficial to Zhaoyin and The matter in Yunzhong City did not violate morality, Xue Tianwang is a loyal person, and he will definitely support it."

"If it's just for the military salary, it would be a lot of trouble. Moreover, it has become a habit for Liren Pavilion to regard Yang Yizhao as the master, and a forced change will inevitably cause discord." Yun Xi is not the case.

"Resolving military resources is only the first step. Xiao Yezi has already said just now that this Yun Huan is one of the leaders of the Tuotar tribe. If we can reach an alliance with the Tuotar tribe through Yun Huan's line, it will be a long-term success." The plan. Now the imperial court is fighting with the two factions, and the Yanjin Empire is harassing from time to time. It is really internal and external troubles. All the bloody people in Zhaoyin want to send their troops northward to regain lost ground. Why? With the meager strength of the Heavenly Kings Gang and people from the rivers and lakes alone, it is extremely difficult to recover the lost ground. But if we can help the court and unite the forces of the Tuotar tribes, we can form a head-to-tail relationship and jointly encircle and suppress Yanjin .Only by winning the war can the Heavenly Kings Clan be truly proud and become number one in the world. And the Clan Leader can also fulfill the long-cherished wish of his predecessors and become a national hero.”

When Yun Xi heard this, there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his tone was still calm: "You haven't said how to solve the matter of Liren Pavilion."

Xiao Ye Zi saw that Yun Xi's complexion was loose, held her breath, and played in a low voice: "You don't know something, Master, this Yun Huan and Yang Yizhao are friends. Xiao Ye Zi said that he knew Yun Huan because someone introduced him—— This person is Yang Yizhao. As long as Yun Huan ascends the throne, Yang Yizhao will definitely abdicate and make way for the virtuous."

Hearing this, Yun Xi's face suddenly changed: "It turns out that the soup was changed but not the medicine."

Xiao Yezi kowtowed deeply and said, "If there was no Yang Yizhao, how could Xiao Yezi get acquainted with Yun Huan?" With the ownership of the Liren Pavilion, he himself will not be a force worthy of consideration."

Yun Xi turned her back and thought for a long time, then said quietly, "You plead for Yang Yizhao so much, do you have some selfish motives?"

Xiao Yezi kowtowed and said: "The leader forgot, Xiao Yezi has been poisoned into the lungs, and he probably will die soon. How can there be any selfishness? Just before dying, I will give you a suggestion for the leader, and by the way, I will give you a piece of advice for the former It’s just a friend doing some good deeds. Otherwise, when Xiao Yezi dies, no friend will burn paper for me, wouldn’t it be a pity?”

Yun Xi didn't say a word, just kept silent with her back to Xiao Ye Zi, as if she was thinking about it, but also seemed to be worried.After a long while, Yun Xi turned around and said, "You are different." He turned his back, turned his hands away, and walked in front of Xiao Ye Zi, and said, "Although you talk wildly, it seems that you are planning for me everywhere, but you want to It’s not like I can’t hear who I’m defending.”

Little Ye Zi bit her lip, lowered her head, and remained silent.

"You know that some people and things are my big taboos, but you still want to fight head-on, but you just want to save his life in exchange for me." Yunxi bent down, looked into her eyes, and sighed for a long time .

Xiao Ye Zi raised her head and looked into his eyes, and for the first time, she noticed a trace of premature aging in his eyes, and even a few strands of white hair grew unconsciously on her temples.

"You're always so smart, I can't hide anything from you." Xiao Yezi felt sad and couldn't bear to look at him again.But he reached out and hooked her jaw, making her look at him again.His eyes were like the first time they met, so gentle, so gentle that she was still fascinated by it.But she already has Yang Yizhao, so she can no longer be tempted.

Yun Xi looked at her eyes, she was as smart as him, and had experienced youth like him, how could she not know that she already had her own heart?He saw that her cheeks still had the traces of his robe sleeves, but her eyebrows and eyes were the same as before.

From the very first time he saw her, he was amazed at how there could be such a girl, who has both the cunning and intelligence of Qingmei, and the innocence and kindness of Jingying.He who had lost two lovers, for some reason, let her shadow creep into his heart.

There was a compensatory comfort in seeing her.It's just that he was too extreme at that time and only cultivated the feelings he wanted, thinking that she was just a child who would always be guided by him to grow up.But I don't know that children also have hearts and ideas of their own.Before she understood his heart, something went wrong with his body.He couldn't control himself, and he did many things that he didn't want to do but couldn't get back.

His body was deteriorating day by day, and after several hours of recuperation with heavy hands, his skill and state gradually recovered.

He thought that strength could overcome the emptiness in his heart, but now when he looked into her eyes, he suddenly became afraid—afraid that one day, he would grow old alone and leave alone.Perhaps logically, he should let go and give up people and feelings that do not belong to him.But he was really unwilling to give up on himself, unwilling to just throw himself into a world of one person.

He still wanted her, wanted to be with her.He stretched out his hand unconsciously, wanting to touch her hair, but halfway through, he stopped again and sighed silently.

She already has her own heart, so why should I force her?

Xiao Ye Zi raised her eyes, only to find that his hand was stopped in mid-air.He was startled, a little embarrassed, and put his hand on her pulse.

As soon as he got on it, he realized something was wrong.

—Why, no signs of poisoning?

He dragged her to the table in disbelief, and took her pulse seriously.After confirming several times, he was sure that she was fine.

It's really strange, her body clearly exudes the poisonous smell of Ren Qingmei, and she clearly shows the poisoned appearance, but there is no change in her body?

He took a silver needle and ordered her to stick out her tongue.He picked the tip of her tongue with a needle, but the blood that flowed out was normal.

She really wasn't poisoned.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he was relieved or raised his heart. His thoughts were ups and downs, and he turned his back and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of the reason.He turned his head and looked at her confused look, his heart softened.

"Don't go, stay with me."

"Anyway, I've only been here for a few days. If you want me to accompany you, I'll just accompany you." Xiao Yezi rubbed her wound and smiled lightly, "As long as the request is not too excessive, such as marrying you or something, You can do whatever you want."

Looking at her calm smile, he easily sensed the change in her mentality, and he smiled helplessly inwardly.

"Don't worry, you won't die for the time being, and I'm not that boring." He turned around and left the cave, and drifted away.Xiao Yezi watched his back disappear behind the corner, and her mind was full of thoughts.
