Hearing her mother's words, Yue Hanzhi immediately explained.
"Mom! It's not what you think. Listen to Hanzhi first!"
Ran Luqi glanced at her daughter, her questioning eyes as sharp as a sword.
"Um?"
Yue Hanzhi pinched the hem of her skirt and murmured: "Listen to my sophistry..."
Ye Dang heard this and said, "Miss Yue's character, which is strong on the outside but soft on the inside, is quite interesting!"
Lin Manliu's force on his shoulders gradually increased, causing the old liar in front of him to lose ground.
"Oh... Master Lin, be gentle! Be gentle!"
Ran Luqi's impression of the two people in front of her did not change much, and she still just watched their interaction with cold eyes.
Lin Manliu said: "This old liar just made fun of everyone Ran and Miss Yue... I would like to apologize to you two!"
Ran Luqi said: "Master Ye's position in Yijian Villa is so unbearable?"
Ye Dangting forced out a smile and responded.
"I'm just in charge of food and money, so what status do I have? You think so, right? Master Lin?"
After hearing this, the young man in short shirt was about to continue to "clean up" the old liar in front of him, but was stopped by Yue Hanzhi.
She spoke softly: "Ahem...Aren't you ashamed to do this in public?"
Lin Manliu immediately withdrew his strength, and the old liar in front of him was finally freed.
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Dangting instantly made a sad face and lay on the table "sobbing".
"The disciples who have been raised and grown wild are like the water that has been thrown out...it is difficult to recover after overturning the water..."
Lin Manliu looked embarrassed, and so did Yue Hanzhi. When the two of them were thinking about how to end it, Ran Luqi laughed out loud.
The mistress said: "Master Ye is a wonderful person!"
Ye Dangting stopped sobbing and looked at Ran Luqi with a proud face, even showing some appreciation.
"Now that everyone understands Ran, what do you think?"
Ran Luqi was concise and clear, and only asked one sentence: "How confident is Master Ye?"
Ye Dang listened and replied: "A month ago, we were only 30% sure, but now we are 50% sure!"
"You dare to ask me, the Yuezhi, to accompany you in this game where you win or lose?"
"If the Yuezhi doesn't follow, it will end badly in the end. If you follow, there is still a glimmer of hope!"
"If it fails, Yanyang will take care of it... If it succeeds, you will take care of it?"
"It's good that everyone Ran has seen clearly! By the way, it's not Yijian Villa who is here to take action..."
As the two asked and answered, their expressions changed several times.
Ye Dang listened to the smiling face at first, but gradually became dull.
Ran Luqi, who was disdainful at first, began to become stern.
The mistress of the Yuezhi held her forehead and sighed, her whole body looking a little sluggish from top to bottom.
She said: "I'm tired...I'll tell Master Ye the results tomorrow..."
Ye Dang heard the words and said: "No problem, Ye is here waiting for good news!"
Ran Luqi spoke again: "Hanzhi, take these two distinguished guests back for a rest..."
Yue Hanzhi immediately stood up, bent his upper body slightly, put his hands together in front of his lap and bowed to his mother.
"yes!"
Ye Dangting had already stood up and walked out of the hall. For him, the purpose of this trip was half completed.
Lin Manliu hurriedly followed the old liar and walked out of the meeting hall side by side with Yue Hanzhi.
Not long after the three people left, a man in rich clothes slowly walked out from behind a hidden screen.
It is Yue Zhimian, the representative of the branch of the Yuezhi in Hangzhou.
Ran Luqi didn't even look at him, so she asked directly: "What do you think of this person and Yijian Villa?"
Yue Zhimian did not respond immediately, but opened the folding fan and walked alone in the hall for a long time.
Ran Luqi didn't mean to be angry in the slightest, she just waited for the juniors in the audience to prepare what they had in mind.
After a cup of tea, Yue Zhimian finally spoke.
"Since the opening of Yijian Villa, it can be said to be notorious, but it can stand up without falling down, gather together without falling apart, so those rumors are all illusions!"
First, the Grand View Tower was fought in the wind and snow. The tall building collapsed, the rivers and lakes were in chaos, and Liu Mei died.
He also went to look for Hanshan against the enemy, but Tu Dou's body and head were in a different place.
And the Yijian Villa is still able to survive to this day. Is it all due to luck?
Absolutely impossible!
"And this Ye should listen. Since Lu Fengbai became famous, he has also followed suit and become famous in the south of the Yangtze River. But when it comes to his martial arts skills, the world only knows about two battles..."
First, he teamed up with Lu Fengbai and Xue Tang to fight Liu Mei three times, narrowly defeating the number one in the world through destructive means.
Later, someone picked off his hand tendon in front of his house, and he became a disabled person.
"Now that Lu Feng is traveling in the mountains in vain, Ye Dangting has been at the helm of Yijian Villa for a long time without making any mistakes. This shows that his strengths are not only martial arts, but also his resourcefulness!"
After hearing Yue Zhimian's views, Ran Luqi responded: "Conspiracy with these Jianghu sects is ultimately a risky move. After all, what we merchants have the most is money, and the most useless thing is money..."
Yue Zhimian said: "Mistress, there is no need to be humble. Money, military pay, and food and grass are all top priorities in logistics. If they want to succeed, they cannot lack the money held by the Yuezhi!"
Soldiers are mostly laymen looking at tactics and experts looking at logistics.
Those who are generals or some powerful people always like to comment on the war.
What I want to see is whether the battle was fought beautifully, and whether the tactics and strategies used were clever and clever.
But the real key to a war is often logistics.
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first, but who among those powerful people really values these things?
Otherwise, how could it be that at the beginning of Yanyang, someone would be greedy for military pay, deduct food and grass, and leave the Yanyang soldiers who suppressed the rebellion without food?
While Yue Zhimian was feeling emotional, Ran Luqi finally made a decision.
"Tomorrow it's up to you to pick up the Lord Yezhuang and come here. The elders in the clan... it's best to let them leave early!"
Yue Zhimian cupped her fists and said, "Yes!"
...
After Lin Manliu and three other people walked out of the hall, they attracted the attention of many people.
The children of the Yue clan were all curious as to how Yijian Villa, who dared to openly contradict their mistress, could let Yue Hanzhi go out to see her off in the end.
Among the crowd, some younger generations inevitably started gossiping.
"These warrior barbarians are so shameless. They took a group of ruffians to occupy a side courtyard, and now they actually want the lady of the house to escort them out in person!"
"From what I can see, it's probably because the second owner of Yijian Villa has lost all his face. For that little bit of face, he has to ask Miss Yue, a junior, to accompany him. Look, even the escort behind him can accompany the owner's lady. Got it!"
"It's just a matter of fun. I don't even think about what that person said. He actually asked me, the Yuezhi, to give up half of my family property to protect myself? It's really the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
Lin Manliu glanced casually, taking in those people who were gossiping.
Yue Hanzhi said from the side: "Ignore those people!"
The boy in short shirt hummed and quickly looked away.
The three of them headed straight for the side courtyard of Yijian Villa where they rested. It didn't take long for few Yue clan children to appear on both sides of the corridor.
Ye Dangting suddenly said: "Hey... maybe I drank too much tea just now. I will go find a convenience by myself. If I can't find the toilet, please forgive me, Moon Girl!"
Before Yue Hanzhi could react, the yellow shirt in front of them disappeared in an instant.
Lin Manliu said helplessly: "That's all for the old liar..."
Yue Hanzhi nodded and responded: "It still smells the same!"
The two looked at each other as they spoke, and the boy in a short shirt quickly turned his head away.
Upon seeing this, Yue Hanzhi immediately became serious. She raised her hand and grabbed the young man's collar, subconsciously trying to pull him closer to her side.
"Lin Manliu, why do you look like a big girl?"
The strength is still the same as when we parted, but this time I can't pull it any further...
Only then did she realize that the young man in front of her was already a little taller than her.
This man grows up so fast?
"Lin Manliu..."
"Ah? What happened to Miss Yue..."
"What are you hiding from?"
"Because I came here this time to discuss things, and there are a lot of things to be busy with in the future, so..."
"So you don't dare to see me because you don't think you're here to see me?"
"Um..."
Looking at the boy in a short shirt in front of him who was already a little taller than him, Yue Hanzhi had no choice but to stand on tiptoes to overtake him again.
"Come closer to me!"
"ah?"
Lin Manliu stood there in a panic. He had already thought of an explanation just now, but as soon as Yue Hanzhi opened his mouth, he forgot all about it.
The light blue skirt no longer cares about the short shirt in front of her, and directly hugs it in her arms.
Yue Hanzhi said: "If you still don't come, I will go look for you again!"
Lin Man said in six words: "But the future is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces..."
Yue Hanzhi stood on tiptoes and pressed her forehead against the young man's.
"Wouldn't it be better for us to face everything in the future together? By leaving me out of the matter, do you think you are very powerful and great?"
"Well...not as powerful as Miss Yue!"
"That's okay!"
After Yue Hanzhi finished speaking, he immediately let go of his hand.
When Lin Manliu saw this, he quickly let go of his hands that hadn't been held for long.
The former held up his underskirt and walked towards a small pavilion in the pond not far ahead, while the latter still followed silently.
After the two of them entered the pavilion, Yue Hanzhi leaned on a railing and sat down. Lin Man thought about it and sat on the stone bench peacefully.
Yue Hanzhi asked aloud: "I was a little confused when I heard it just now. What did the old liar say to my mother?"
Lin Manliu pondered and said, "The conversation between the old liar and Aunt Ran should start with him pointing at me..."
Yue Hanzhi exclaimed: "Will Yijian Villa really belong to you from now on? Do I have to call Master Lin in advance?"
The boy in a short shirt shook his head and began to explain.
"The old liar is not talking about Yijian Villa and me, but the entire Yanyang and Jiang Yanlin..."
Hearing the name Jiang Yanlin, Yue Hanzhi fell into doubts. She knew and had met this person with Lin Manliu.
In order to understand what he was thinking, the boy in short shirt told all about the Southern Xinjiang group. During this period, Yue Hanzhi could not help but tighten her skirt.
After almost a stick of incense, Lin Manliu told everything he had seen and heard along the way.
Even if no one from the Jiangning Yuezhi is an official in the court, if they want to control the name of this first surname among the people, they will definitely be connected and involved with the court.
Naturally, there is some understanding of the news that the two saints chose the children of their relatives to adopt as their adopted children in order to stabilize the internal power of the court.
Yue Hanzhi said: "So the acquaintance he mentioned is also an invitation to cooperate?"
The young man in a short shirt nodded and spoke again: "The water that could not be recovered was clearly telling Aunt Ran that Jiang Yanlin was no longer under the control of Queen Nasu and fell into the hands of Yijian Villa."
Therefore, after the division became famous, what was originally a bleak start with a score of 30-70 became a possibility of a score of 50-50.
Yue Hanzhi asked curiously: "You can't just find my family, but do you have other plans?"
Lin Manliu grinned and told the woman he liked about their previous plans and some of the results he had imagined.
For example, Que Xie failed to contact the co-owner of the Three Mountains outside the Pass. How should Master Lu respond...
Or maybe Jiang Xu secretly cheated and failed to contact the Jiang family, causing the Jiang family and Yanlin's mother to fall into the hands of Queen Nasu. Where should they find help...
And if the Yuezhi meeting fails this time, what should Yijian Villa do to turn May Five into June Four, or even turn it into Seven Three...
When Lin Manliu was describing these arrangements and assumptions, Yue Hanzhi looked at him quietly without any intention of interrupting.
It seemed that as long as she looked like this, she could look at the young man in front of her and shake out all the ink from her chest and abdomen!
The boy in a short shirt talked until his mouth went dry and he could hardly speak, but he still had no intention of stopping.
Yue Hanzhi sat up, poured him a cup of tea from the stone table in the pavilion, and pushed it to Lin Manliu.
The young man drank all the tea and looked at the woman in front of him with a smile.
Yue Hanzhi said softly: "I haven't improved in my swordsmanship and sword moves, but I have improved a lot in my verbal skills!"
Lin Manliu smiled and said: "Chong Ying and the others all say that I am Sai Zhao Kuo! I must be awesome!"
"Our Hero Lin is the most powerful!"
"That's not true. This paper-based strategy can be easily achieved!"
"See what you can do!"
Yue Hanzhi said that she was about to raise her hand to poke Lin Manliu's head, but the latter ducked sideways and let her escape.
"Lin Manliu, how dare you hide!"
"Huh? I won't hide next time!"
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same moment.
The laughter echoed in the small pavilion in the pool for a long time, and it was extremely sweet. Even the birds flying in the air landed on the eaves and listened quietly to the laughter.
Whether it was Yue Hanzhi, who had lived here for a long time, or Lin Manliu, who was running around, the two of them had not laughed like this for a long time.
Because everything disturbs my mind, I travel all over the world.
Because of the busy things at hand, in front of him, and around him, the young man was too timid to approach the woman in his heart.
He was afraid that after a brief reunion, they would be separated again, but she wouldn't. She understood these truths, but she would still take the initiative to find him.
The moment we hugged each other, it was really warm.
