Zhutian: From Douluo, the illusion becomes real

Chapter 702. 701. Temporary Departure!

Small matters can be dealt with in a big way.

Hold small meetings for big events.

Important matters are not discussed in meetings.

This principle applies to any situation.

Jade Tiger and the Straw-Clad Man probably never imagined that their deaths would not be due to them being listed on the Quicksand's kill list like the Vulture, but rather because they were betrayed by their former companions, Bai Yifei and the Tide Demoness, who deemed them worthless and refused to even plead for them, unwilling to part with the little bit of goodwill they had accumulated with Ye Qingcang, thus depriving them of any chance of survival.

of course.

This was also one of the pledges Bai Yifei made in loyalty to the emperor.

However, if one had to say, Bai Yifei didn't need to offer this pledge of allegiance, because his pledge was Han Yu. His next priority was to bring down Han Yu, the Fourth Young Master. Both Jade Tiger and the Straw-Clothed Man had special uses. Jade Tiger, for example, was intended as a gift for Zi Nu, to facilitate her taking over related businesses and to build a relationship with her. After all, he had indeed committed many illegal acts. Even though Ye Qingcang covered for him, preventing Han Fei from executing him according to the law, some obstacles had to be removed. The time Ye Qingcang had bought him was precious, but even that precious time was only meant to be used more effectively. Therefore, paving the way for himself through personal connections was the best option Bai Yifei could think of. As for the Straw-Clothed Man, he was the pledge of allegiance he offered to his cousin, the Tide Demoness.

After all, he was different from someone who could lead troops into battle.

His cousin, Lady Mingzhu, has gone astray in her skill tree.

After switching sides.

It's easy to lose your sense of self.

To put it bluntly, if one were to stay in the palace...

From the current perspective, it is indeed possible.

But what about a few years from now?
What happened after Han Fei came to power?

Does Lady Mingzhu intend to live in the palace for the rest of her life?

If it were just living in the palace, that would be fine.

But if no one is available.

Under the constraints of one's identity.

Living in the palace was no different from being confined to solitary confinement.

Moreover, if Han Fei and Zi Nu were to get married, Zi Nu would definitely have to change her appearance and enter the palace. Could it be that Lady Ming Zhu would compete with Zi Nu for the emperor's favor, or even confront her head-on like they are dealing with Consort Hu now?
The person who came up with this idea is completely insane.

Anyway, Bai Yifei definitely wouldn't arrange it that way.

If that were the case, he would rather arrange for his cousin, Lady Mingzhu, to fake her death and leave the palace, even if she were to become his steward in Xueyi Fort, than waste her time and youth in the palace.

As for Madam Mingzhu, she could also change her appearance.

Help Han Fei monitor King An of Han.

This job has already been booked.

That's Hu Meiren.

Compared to Consort Hu, Lady Mingzhu's identity is obviously less credible. If Lady Mingzhu were to act erratically and pull off some kind of secret edict to help Bai Yifei launch a rebellion, Han Fei would be in serious trouble. Therefore, even Bai Yifei himself could see this, so he naturally believed that Han Fei could see it as well, and that Han Fei would not keep this potential threat around, even if it was only a possibility.

Therefore, the placement of the Tide Fairy became a problem.

But the trendy woman is not a useless person.

Never mind whether she's good or bad.

Even if he's not very good, he's still a naturally gifted martial artist.

Taking on a top-tier martial artist like the Hundred Poisons King in a one-on-one fight would be no problem.

Moreover, the Tide Demoness and the Hundred Poison King formed a mutually restraining relationship. If the Tide Demoness were to betray them, the Hundred Poison King could completely break her poison techniques. If the Hundred Poison King were to betray them, the Tide Demoness could also break his poison techniques in time. For any superior, there are things that one may not need, but there are things one cannot do without. Therefore, to say that the Tide Demoness is a waste of talent is truly an injustice to such a person.

Therefore, in Bai Yifei's thinking...

This was also part of Bai Yifei's plan.

He planned to take this opportunity to place Chao Nu Yao next to Ye Qingcang.

Anyway, he's already part of Ye Qingcang's faction.

They don't care about adding more bets.

If it weren't for certain taboos...

He even planned to introduce his mother to Ye Qingcang.

They are all masters.

Perhaps we can sit down and discuss the principles.

As for further development, Bai Yifei does not deny the possibility, but whether it is possible depends entirely on fate. After all, once you reach the Grandmaster level, the factor of desire has been greatly weakened, and what you value more is spiritual compatibility.

This has nothing to do with whether he is a filial son or not.

In fact, every female master can be admired by even more people.

Because there were very few female masters at that time.

The ratio of male to female masters is often thirty to one or more.

This means that the vast majority of male masters can only be compatible with lower-ranking partners and have no way to advance to higher ranks.

Even equal communication is difficult.

People like Ye Qingcang are pure exceptions.

Actually, Ye Qingcang was just lucky to have caught a good time.

The Eight Swords of Yue King of Luowang did not have a master in every generation.

There are often gaps in the number of positions available.

This generation of Jingni can be considered the strongest to date.

He served as Ye Qingcang's secretary.

It is both Jingni's own good fortune.

It was also Ye Qingcang's good fortune.

Therefore, in Bai Yifei's mind, he had not considered the idea of ​​rising to the top overnight, nor did he consider the idea of ​​his brother gaining status through his sister. He simply hoped to find some work for his cousin, Chao Nvyao, such as serving as Ye Qingcang's secretary or helping Ye Qingcang and Jing Ni. With Chao Nvyao's strength, being a clerical worker was not a problem. In addition, her expertise in poison preparation was a perfect fit for the logistics department of Luo Wang, which could upgrade Luo Wang and make the basic equipment of Luo Wang's assassins more luxurious.

Moreover, this location is quite special.

It would be easy for him to become Ye Qingcang's confidant.

He didn't expect his cousin to help him after she became successful.

I just want an extra layer of insurance.

The relationship has taken another step forward.

In short: He desperately wants to improve!
However, all these actions were actually seen by Ye Qingcang, who had a keen eye for detail. The reason Ye Qingcang did not stop them was simply because he did not dislike Bai Yifei, who was a fairly intelligent person. If Bai Yifei was not to his liking, even if Bai Yifei sent the Tide Demon to his side, he would not hesitate to execute Bai Yifei. In fact, in order to eliminate future troubles, he would also execute the Tide Demon to prevent it from turning against him in the future.

After all, he didn't have much of a relationship with either of them.

Unlike the red lotus.

Honglian and he had known each other since childhood.

Unlike Saint Cher and others.

He was willing to entrust his life to any of these girls.

But when faced with the trendy female demon.

Or perhaps it's facing Bai Yifei.

Let alone entrusting his life to them, he would be uneasy even if he handed over the turning point and focus of a matter to them. Even if he had no choice but to entrust it to them, he would arrange some backup plans as a check and balance to prevent Bai Yifei and Chao Nu Yao from turning against him at the last minute.

As for liking the figure of the trendy female demon.

He does not deny this.

He is a normal man.

It's natural to be attracted to a beautiful woman.

But the biggest difference between humans and animals is restraint.

Can you control yourself?

This is the most important.

Moreover, even if he couldn't control himself, he could easily use alchemy to temporarily create a puppet; there was no need to leave a hidden danger.

"However, since they have submitted to you, Brother Ye..."

"It's not that I can't let them go."

"Legal principles are no different from human sentiments."

"This thing is a tool."

"It all comes down to the people."

Inside the Zilan Pavilion.

In our weekly gatherings.

Han Fei was peeling an orange.

Of course, it could also be trifoliate orange.

Anyway, Ye Qingcang could never tell the difference between the two.

What kind of orange grows south of the Huai River? It is an orange.

If it grows north of the Huai River, it will become a trifoliate orange.

His knowledge of these two fruits was limited to what was described in his Chinese textbook.

Although you can judge by whether it's sour or not, that is, by whether it tastes good or not.

But he doesn't like oranges.

They hadn't even tasted the orange in Han Fei's hand.

Naturally, it's unclear.

He still prefers oranges.

Unfortunately, it's not here.

He has no interest in materializing it.

As for this gathering, it was more of a casual affair.

If something major happens, Quicksand will summon its core members for a gathering. However, unless something major happens, Quicksand usually maintains a weekly contact frequency, allowing core members to exchange information and formulate and revise their plans. As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes, and unexpected results can happen. For example, Honglian captured the Tide Demoness two weeks ago, uncovered Bai Yifei's connection, and quickly forced him to surrender. This was completely unexpected. In the original plan, Bai Yifei was supposed to surrender much later in the story. Now that he's surrendered so quickly, many of the usual tactics are useless. To put it bluntly, voluntary surrender and involuntary surrender are two different things. Bai Yifei's survival depends on his performance if he surrenders involuntarily, but if he surrenders voluntarily, he's exempt from most of the blame. At most, his future performance will determine whether he'll be given a more important role, and even if he doesn't try, it won't matter much.

In addition, there are Mo Ya and Bai Niao, who were turned against their side by Ye Qingcang this week.

Excluding some members of the Hundred Birds group.

The remaining members of the Hundred Birds have already submitted.

They just kept it hidden.

Among them, the members of Bai Niao were divided into three parts.

One part of it is the Black Raven.

He was assigned to Han Fei's subordinates.

Part of it is parrot song.

He was placed under Zi Nu's command.

The last part is Bai Feng.

In Mo Ya's words, it was time for his white phoenix to go out and gain some experience. He should let go and let him explore on his own. After defeating Ji Wuye, he could join Wei Zhuang's action group to participate in some operations and try his hand at military life.

After all, Wei Zhuang's position is that of a Grand General.

The goal is to seize military power.

Bai Feng and the other young and energetic members of the Hundred Birds Clan are perfect scouts, serving as Wei Zhuang's eyes and ears, gathering intelligence on the enemy and monitoring the army. In other words, they are a group of young people who are not adept at navigating social situations and will follow Wei Zhuang through a future filled with blood and fire.

Mo Ya's role is internal oversight.

Local officials and civil and military officials, etc.

This has created a situation where one side is inside and the other outside.

Zi Nu's power is independent, similar to the trump card of quicksand, ensuring that there is a way to remedy the situation after an accident.

For example, the reorganized birds suffered a blow.

It was penetrated and fractured by the Shadow Guard or the Black Ice Platform.

The system collapsed.

They can't even provide the most basic follow-up training.

In this situation, Yingge, who is familiar with the methods of raising birds, can step forward to assist Zinu in rebuilding the framework of birds.

People are never the problem.

The problem lies in the system.

It's similar to a military unit designation.

Once the serial number is no longer available.

This army was essentially a disorganized rabble.

No identity.

They would be seen as defeated soldiers wherever they went.

It wasn't simply that they got separated from the troops.

This sense of collective honor determines the solidity of a power's foundation, which is also the importance of the power held by Zi Nu.

It's like she has the entire save file of Quicksand.

It's okay if the save file is destroyed.

As long as Han Fei and the others outside are still there.

Then you can rebuild the save file.

It doesn't matter if Han Fei and the others collapse.

As long as Zi Nu still has the save file.

This would allow the original structure to be restored and the situation to be stabilized.

This includes the Net currently held by Ye Qingcang.

All of them are archived and backed up by Zi Nu.

This refers to a group of Luo Wang members, led by Jing Ni.

They were lurking in the Purple Orchid Pavilion.

These members are known to only a handful of people.

Even Nongyu only knew two or three of them.

Daily contact is unavoidable. Zi Nu's arrangement for Nong Yu to get to know these two or three people is also a prelude to prevent her from suddenly dying one day and leaving behind a mess in Zi Lan Xuan that no one can take care of.

In this world.

No one knows when an accident will happen.

We don't even know whether death or tomorrow will come first.

However, the story of Han Fei and others has only just begun.

Ye Qingcang's story here is coming to an end.

"However, there's no need to be sad."

"This time is the same as last time."

"I had some things to take care of on my end."

"I might be back in a few months."

Taking advantage of this gathering.

Ye Qingcang made a simple change.

However, we should learn from the previous experience.

Han Fei and the others did not appear too sad.

Only the red lotus remained, reluctant to part.

Han Fei laughed for quite a while.

In the end, Zi Nu couldn't stand it anymore.

This saved Honglian from her predicament.

However, when the party came to an end and everyone went home to rest, Yan Lingji suddenly found Ye Qingcang and made a request that was not excessive but not very reasonable.

"Resurrect your brother?"

"And the whole family in your village?"

Having drunk some alcohol earlier, Ye Qingcang reluctantly circulated his internal energy, which could also be called soul power, including battle qi and spiritual power. After all, these extraordinary powers had been fused together, and even he found it difficult to separate them.

In short, it dispelled the remaining effects of the alcohol.

Wave.

He gestured to Jingni beside him that she didn't need to be nervous.

Then, he looked at Yan Lingji with great interest: "How did you know I could revive people, or rather, who told you that?"

To date, he has resurrected only one person.

That was Wei Qianqian.

There were only two eyewitnesses at the time.

One is Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

One is Jing Ni.

But neither of them could have leaked the secret.

The former is afraid of angering him, which would mean never seeing her lover again in her life.

The latter is absolute loyalty.

Therefore, he is now particularly curious about how Yan Ling Ji knew this.
"I promised her I couldn't tell."

Yan Lingji remained silent for a moment, then answered in a low voice.

Ye Qingcang shrugged dismissively.

He politely declined, saying, "Then let's wait until you can give me a suitable reason, or rather, come up with a reason that can convince me..."
