Lord of the night.

Chapter 597 Hearing Thunder in Silence [Two in One]

The Xingmang helmsman was moved and smiled, "That's great, Yin Xiu couldn't ask for more. Thank you for your support at the beginning of the business. Please drink this cup and wish us a happy cooperation."

Lu Sihai is tall and strong, and he looks like a black bear when sitting on the chair. Although he came to attend the banquet, he still carried the majestic sword on his back.

This is the rule his father gave him: The man must be with the sword, the sword must be with him; if the sword is destroyed, the man will die!
Hearing the two talking at this moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, may I ask your name?"

But he was asking Feng Yun.

Lu Sihai is the deputy chief of the largest escort agency in Donghuzhou and the eldest son of Lu Dadao. Although he looks young, only in his forties, he is actually several hundred years old.

It can be said that he has all the elegance, temperament and cultivation. He looks honest on the outside, but he is actually a sophisticated old man.

It was the first time in his life that he had seen a person like Feng Yun.

He is handsome and elegant, with a noble bearing and outstanding temperament. His every move exudes calmness and nobility. Just sitting casually, he feels like sitting on the clouds.

Even an old hand like me felt awkward in front of this young man.

As for the people from other escort agencies, they didn't even know their names or what they did, but they instinctively wanted to go up and flatter them.

Lu Sihai was extremely puzzled: What kind of family background could produce such a dignified young man?
This is too awesome!
I couldn't help but ask.

Feng Yun smiled politely and said, "Excuse me, my last name is Feng."

"The wind of rain and snow?"

Lu Sihai suddenly realized and clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, no wonder, no wonder."

Knowing that Lu Sihai had misunderstood, Feng Yun smiled and said without explanation, "I have long admired the Dadao Escort Agency. Your father, Senior Lu Dadao, is famous and has traveled to the 17 Southeastern Continents. Once the flag of the Dadao Escort Agency is hung, it is a symbol of safety. Its reputation is well-known, and I, Feng Yun, admire it very much."

Lu Sihai laughed: "If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

"That will definitely be troublesome." Feng Yun smiled faintly.

It was a meal that was eaten in a very reserved manner.

With Feng Yun present, everyone subconsciously ate more elegantly.

While other tables were noisy and noisy, this table was very elegant and calm. Even the people eating there felt like they had somehow improved their class.

After the meal, the escort agency staff came to distribute souvenirs to everyone and then saw them off politely.

And Feng Yun had already arrived at the backyard of the escort agency at the invitation of the Star Leader.

Instead of going to the living room, he went to a pavilion with empty space on all sides in the backyard.

When Feng Yun saw that the Star Mang leader led him here, he immediately understood something. He waved his hand and asked Feng Yi and Feng Er to wait in the distance, and the two of them entered the pavilion alone.

"Your status is important, and someone can see it, so there's no need to be polite."

This was the first sentence Feng Yun said after entering the pavilion.

The Xingmang helmsman smiled, sat down in the pavilion with Feng Yun, and said in a voice transmission: "Greetings, Young Master Yun."

Feng Yun said calmly: "How did you recognize me? Have you seen me?"

"I have seen your portrait before. Moreover, I once had the honor of meeting you, Master Feng Xing."

Feng Yun said calmly: "Oh?"

Suddenly, a different feeling came up in my heart.

Seal the star?

"Tell me about your identity." Feng Yun said lightly.

"I am a member of the Yi Xin Sect, my name is Xing Mang. Following the orders of the Sect Leader, I first established a branch in Baiyunzhou and have been lurking there for a long time..."

The Starlight Captain did not hide anything, but revealed everything about the Tianxia Escort Agency.

"After the deputy chief learned about this, he transferred the Tianxia Escort Agency to the headquarters..."

Feng Yun listened carefully, thinking and analyzing in his mind.

After a while.

"Are you done?"

"For now, I have said everything I can say."

The Starlight Captain said this knowing the rules.

Feng Yun smiled and said, "That can't be said. What kind of authority do you need? To what extent?"

The Starlight Captain said cautiously, "That requires the permission of the Deputy Chief Priest. Please forgive me, Young Master."

Feng Yun hummed and said, "So, when Feng Xing came, you told him the same thing?"

"When Young Master Xing came, my subordinates had not yet been valued by the deputy chief leader... they were just a small branch of the Yi Xin Sect..."

The Xingmang helmsman's face was covered with sweat: "Mr. Yun, please forgive me."

Feng Yun narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "Then you...can Feng Xing let you go?"

Feng Yun knew his brother's character very well.

With Feng Xing's temper, it was just a small branch of the Yi Xin Sect at that time, how could Xing Mang handle it?

That was a miracle!

"I dare not hide it from the eldest master. Young Master Xing has indeed not let me go."

The Starlight Captain said calmly.

Feng Yun said calmly: "In this case, Feng Xing should think highly of you. So... he should have sent you cultivation resources? Um... Feng Shiqi disappeared for a while some time ago, so he came to look for you?"

Feng Yun's words showed his strong control over the family.

The Star Leader remained silent.

Feng Yun said calmly: "So, what ideas did you give Feng Xing? What made Feng Xing think so highly of you?"

The Star Leader remained silent.

Feng Yun smiled: "Feng Xing has never shown that he values ​​someone so much. So Xingmang, you must be extraordinary."

He actually came to a conclusion at this moment.

Then he said with interest: "Xingmang, among our Feng family brothers, who do you think is the best?"

The Xingmang helmsman sighed and said helplessly: "Mr. Yun, I believe you actually understand. When people like us face you, do we have room to refuse?"

Feng Yun smiled faintly, shook his head and sighed softly.

In other words, if they met Yan Beihan and others, they would still have room for choice. But if they met Feng Xing and others, people from the lower sects, they would not have any room to struggle at all.

If you don't surrender, you will die.

This is very direct.

So he sighed that he was a step late.

"Let's not talk about that."

Feng Yun smiled and said, "I really admire your management of Tianxia Escort Agency. You have done a very good job in this regard."

He smiled and changed the subject in a way that was not awkward at all.

This really caused a stir in the heart of the Starlight Leader.

Feng Yun's demeanor and bearing were fully revealed in this turn.

Feng Yun didn't say everything clearly, but every word he said showed his overall control and understanding of the subtle details.

When the topic involved Feng Xing, Feng Yun already understood everything.

Next, there is no need to say anything.

Feng Xing knew it a long time ago, why didn't he tell me? I asked Feng Xing, why did the Xingmang helmsman remain silent?

What is there that even Feng Xing's eldest brother cannot know? Why?
So what exactly was Feng Xing planning? What did he talk about with Xingmang's helmsman? What did they plan?
But Feng Yun immediately dropped the subject.

Skip.

Moreover, the Star Leader could sense that Feng Yun was not trying to escape, but was facing the enemy head-on!

"Young Master Yun has a broad mind and character that I have never seen before in my life." The Starlight Captain exclaimed sincerely.

Feng Yun smiled faintly: "Broad-mindedness and tolerance depend on one's position. People who are not in a high enough position cannot have such qualities."

He looked at the Starlight Helmsman and said calmly: "This height is the height where I am now, and it is also the height I want to reach in my heart."

The Xingmang helmsman pondered: "Mr. Yun is right."

"People who are not in a good position are called open-minded and can see things in a broad-minded way."

Feng Yun said leisurely: "Only people with a high enough level can be called broad-minded, or in other words, broad-minded. The level of this word is also different."

"Mr. Yun's words are thought-provoking."

The Starlight Helmsman said.

"I don't feel like you're trying to flatter me." Feng Yun smiled kindly.

"Of course not. Of course not." The Starlight Captain answered very sincerely.

Feng Yun laughed.

The smile was extremely comfortable and carefree.

The Starlight Captain was amazed in his heart.

Feng Yun, it was indeed Feng Yun.

This was totally different from the Feng Yun that he had met in the Yin and Yang world. In the Yin and Yang world, Feng Yun, as a representative of one side, was neither humble nor overbearing, shrewd, calculating, good at maneuvering, decisive, resolute, decisive, and his words were his bond.

Because at that time, Fang Che and the people from Shiwai Mountain Gate were both his opponents and enemies.

So he showed toughness, calculation and ruthlessness.

Let everyone know that this person is not easy to deal with. Full of fear, knowing that Feng Yun and Yan Beihan are alone here, the major secluded mountain gates still dare not act rashly.

In fact, although Fang Che had the biggest advantage in the Yin-Yang Realm, it was Feng Yun and Yan Beihan who controlled the overall situation and intimidated everyone.

Strictly speaking, it is Feng Yun.

But the person they met now was the son of a high-ranking family in the Orthodox Church, the young leader of the Orthodox Church, and the helmsman of the Southeast.

The broad-mindedness, magnanimity and tolerance he displayed, as well as his appreciation for his subordinates regardless of their affiliation, were the qualities of a true leader!

The two are completely different, but they are perfectly unified in Feng Yun.

The Star Leader admitted that he had never seen such a young man before.

"Xingmang, what is your current level of cultivation?"

Feng Yun asked.

"Just reached the level of a monarch." "The cultivation is pretty good."

Feng Yun smiled faintly: "You established the Tianxia Escort Agency by yourself, and you were favored by Vice Chief Master Yan. Xingmang, you are very capable."

"I am devoted to the teaching, and I rely entirely on the leader's planning." The Star Leader said cautiously.

Feng Yun frowned: "Your current achievements are unimaginable to Yinshen Palace. If he could have imagined it, he would have done it himself. So you don't have to belittle yourself."

"I was just lucky. I had no other options at the beginning, so I fought to the death."

"It's a desperate situation."

Feng Yun smiled faintly and said softly, "There are geniuses among ordinary people, but they are not obvious in daily life. When fate forces them into a desperate situation, more than 90% of people are crushed to death by the desperate situation. Only 10% of people choose to fight to the death; and among them, most of them fail to succeed and fall. Only a rare few people succeed."

“But we have to admit that...people who try to stand out must have accumulated a lot of experience in their daily lives,” Feng Yun said.

“But people who have been accumulating knowledge on a daily basis may not be able to stand out in desperate situations.” The Star Leader said with deep emotion.

"Not bad. And luck." Feng Yun nodded.

The Starlight Captain said: "What Young Master Yun just said was... ordinary people."

Feng Yun smiled and said, "The noble families will never bury their geniuses. Even if the geniuses of the noble families are in desperate situations, they are set up by their own people. This is to cultivate the confidence and foundation of the geniuses after they overcome the difficulties. This is very useful."

"Yes." The Star Leader had to admit this.

That's the truth.

It all depends on your family's capabilities and the level to which you set the pass.

"Xingmang, do you know anything about the noble families?"

Feng Yun asked with a smile, hinting at something.

"Please give me some advice, Young Master Yun." The Star Leader knew that when a superior like Feng Yun began to ask questions proactively, it often meant that a new consideration or demonstration was coming.

"In my opinion, the competition among the children of the rich and powerful families can be divided into three stages."

Feng Yun looked at the green leaves of a flowering tree beside the pavilion and said softly, "In the first stage, the family is formed and has wealth, but it is still far from profound. At this time, the family members are busy fighting for power and profit. They are afraid that you will have more and I will have less. They are afraid that after the older generation grows old, I will have less control and be kicked out... At this stage, the fight is just a fight for interests. Life and death rarely occur, and if there is, it is just an exception."

The Star Man leader chewed on it carefully, and verified it with the small family he had met before.

Just like the Fang family in Bibo City, Fang Zhenghang and his brothers when he first came to power; and the internal fighting in the Su Yue family...

I felt that made sense, so I asked, "What about the next stage?"

After Feng Yun finished speaking, he waited patiently for the Starlight Leader to think it over and ask this question, then he smiled slightly.

He knew that the Star Master had fully understood.

He continued, "The second stage is... the family is formed, with a deep foundation and a single family goal, such as martial arts, business, or politics... The efforts of several generations have brought the family to this path. When the goal is unified... there is a saying that goes, "Brothers of one mind can break metal with one strength."

"At times like this, the family is the most united and harmonious. Everyone works together, helping each other and never holding each other back. Moreover, in this kind of family, it is rare for prodigal sons to appear."

Feng Yun smiled and said, "This is what most people know as a true noble family with aristocratic bloodline. They have a strong foundation, are unshakable, have excellent descendants, and are mostly united. They are the envy of everyone."

Fang Che also understood this.

Because this is what a real big family that the world envy is like.

Then he asked, "What about the third stage?"

"The third stage is the highest stage, and it is also the most top-level family on the continent."

Feng Yun sighed and said, "They are already qualified enough to covet the pinnacle of power. Moreover, within the family, there are all kinds of things, and the entire family is equivalent to a small society... Competition will arise between the direct descendants of the family."

"For a family that has reached this stage, competition is no longer a matter of success or failure, but a matter of life and death."

"There is no family affection, no trust, and no morality."

Feng Yun sighed softly.

"I'll give you an example and you'll understand. For example... the royal family. For so many years on the mainland, there has been no such thing as an idle prince for anyone with the emperor's bloodline. Even if you don't fight for it, you're actually fighting for it. Everything is for that position. Therefore, the so-called virtuous king, the so-called idle king... can only appear after the new emperor ascends the throne, but this is only done for self-protection, nothing more."

The Starlight Captain remained silent and did not ask any further questions this time.

This time, Feng Yun did not wait for him to ask, but continued to speak: "There are no more than five families on the continent that can be said to have reached this level. Our Feng family is one of them."

Having said that, Feng Yun’s implication has become very clear.

He did not continue.

He believed that the Star Leader had understood.

The current silence of the Star Leader is proof of this.

"And such a family only exists in the Solemnity Church. But there is not a single one in the Guardian Continent."

Feng Yun smiled bitterly with admiration.

The Starlight Captain was obviously relieved and asked, "Why is that?"

"Xingmang, you are really smart."

Feng Yun smiled and turned to look at the Starlight Leader.

The Starlight Captain smiled bitterly: "I just don't dare to speak."

Feng Yun laughed, but changed the subject again, saying, "In the Guardian Continent, the Fengyuxue family has already reached this point. They are even more powerful than our family, but they are not like this. Do you know why?"

The Xingmang helmsman was about to speak, but Feng Yun said, "I know you understand, so if you say you don't know, I will be very dissatisfied."

The Xingmang helmsman smiled bitterly: "Young Master Yun, you don't even give me a choice."

Feng Yun said calmly: "I have given you the greatest freedom to choose."

"Yes."

The Starlight Captain asked, "Is it because of the Guardian's Eastern Military Advisor?"

"Not bad!"

Feng Yun clapped his hands and said, "The first reason is that Military Advisor Dongfang has drawn the paths of the three major families of Fengyuxue directly onto the path of martial arts. Within the family, there is no other path that is better than this one. Moreover, it is bound by honor and glory, and the sacrifice of the predecessors, forming a tradition; making it impossible for these three families to walk out of the path of martial arts!"

"The second reason is that there is no longer any supreme position for the Guardians to compete for."

"As long as Dongfang Military Advisor is still around, no one in the Guardian Continent will be able to surpass him! Because his achievements are so great. No one else would have the confidence to say that they are better than Dongfang Military Advisor. No one in the Guardian Continent dares to say this!"

"If the Eastern Military Advisor is gone, then no matter who goes up, they will be torn apart. Because there is a perfect predecessor to compare with."

"So Military Advisor Dongfang didn't dare to retreat. He himself understood the consequences."

"So he planned all the qualified families in the Guardian Continent to become martial arts families. This single goal can not only improve combat effectiveness, but also try to avoid future power struggles. In this respect, it is much better than the current structure of our Solitary Orthodoxy."

Feng Yun said this, looked at the Xingmang helmsman, and said, "That's it."

The Starlight Captain knew it was time for him to speak. He pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed."

Feng Yun was very satisfied with the Starlight Leader's perfect meditation. He said with some regret: "What our Only I Orthodox Church lacks right now is someone like the Eastern Military Advisor. The Chief Patriarch is indeed a master of martial arts, suppressing all heroes in the world. But you have to understand that the Chief Patriarch's achievements may not be achieved by others in the future. However, no one can suppress the world like the Eastern Military Advisor. Therefore, the Only I Orthodox Church needs someone like the Eastern Military Advisor. If one can appear in the future..."

Feng Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If possible in the future, the social structure and family management of the Only Orthodox Church should be like that of the Guardians."

The Starlight Captain was tactful and said nothing.

He heard a lot from this sentence, as well as Feng Yun's hint and strong and confident ambition.

But now he can only remain silent.

And Feng Yun obviously liked his current silence.

"The restrictions of martial arts give people a goal and an endless future, thus suppressing their ambition for power. Very good!"

"Although some martial artists may have ambitions for power, the vast majority do not. This is because once a martial artist experiences the pleasure and sense of accomplishment of improving his cultivation, he will no longer care about other powers."

"You understand that."

Feng Yun smiled faintly.

The Xingmang helmsman said, "Yes, I have thought about this before, but not as thoroughly as Young Master Yun."

Feng Yun asked with interest: "What do you think?"

The Starlight Captain took a deep breath.

This is the test question.

From the moment they met, Feng Yun showed his magnanimity and broad-mindedness. On the surface, it sounded like he understood and sympathized with his own choice and did not seem to want to force himself.

However, all chatting is actually a form of display and pressure at the same time.

Make yourself aware of the differences between Feng Yun and Feng Xing.

In fact, it is planning for the future.

Any question Feng Yun asks himself will affect his future arrangements and plans for himself.

Whether you value it or not, this is extremely important.

Now I have successfully planted a seed in the hearts of Feng Yun and Feng Xing.

But if I don't have any ability, then the seed won't sprout, and even if it sprouts, it won't grow strong.

This conversation was almost the most tiring one he had had in a long time.

Hearing thunder in silence is how the Starlight Captain truly felt about this conversation.

If he were asked to describe his conversation with Feng Yun, it would be: The wind starts from the tip of the green duckweed, and the waves form from the ripples.

"At first, I just felt that it was a question of both civil and military affairs."

The Starlight Captain said very respectfully: "Learning literature can broaden your horizons and also broaden your horizons. It is possible to govern a place and benefit the people there... Well, in other words, you should know how to fight."

"Martial arts require aptitude... People who don't have martial arts aptitude, even if they come from a poor family, can still learn literature... So it's inevitable that there will be good and bad people among them."

"It's not that warriors don't have those twists and turns in their minds. In fact, anyone who can learn martial arts can also learn literature. It's just that in a social group where martial arts are transcendent... they made their own choices, that's all."

"I'm not saying that all warriors are good people, but based on my observation, there are indeed more bad people among the scholars than among the warriors."

The Starlight Captain avoided the central question of Feng Yun and only spoke about it from the edge, but he could make Feng Yun feel that he actually understood everything. It was just a matter of identity, so he could not make a specific judgment like Feng Yun did.

This is a kind of measure.

Strategic analysis should always be left to senior management and superiors.

Feng Yun smiled faintly, looked at the Xingmang helmsman and said, "You are right. This is where the Eastern Military Advisor has foresight."

The Star Leader fell silent again.

Feng Yun said softly: "You are still a little too cautious in doing things now. You can be more relaxed."

"What does Young Master Yun mean?" asked the Starlight Captain.

"Do you think that the Guardian leaders know that your Tianxia Escort Agency is located here?"

Feng Yun asked meaningfully.
