Let them offer their loyalty
Page 433
No matter how strong an individual's power is, it is ultimately limited.
In the huge and complex social structure of Longcheng, if we want to truly achieve change, we must rely on collective strength, especially the strength of ordinary people.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Many people have forgotten this saying.
Nowadays, nobles can rise to the top as soon as they are born, but the people below cannot even get a single drop of nobility.
This is a fact that cannot be changed.
Not just her, all the common people should unite and fight against the oppression of the nobles for our common interests, otherwise what happened to Ye Hua will happen again.
Just because of suspicion, he collaborated with others and planned to kill himself.
Whenever she thought of this, Yue Qian would tremble with anger.
She is not a silent lamb. Civilians have the right to fight for their own lives. The enjoyment of a very small group of people must not be built on the efforts of all the people below. Even the opportunity to climb up is cut off and completely controlled. The child of a mouse is still just a mouse, even if he behaves as smart as a dragon and a phoenix. The child of a dragon and a phoenix is still a dragon and a phoenix, even if he behaves like a mouse.
As long as your status is high enough, you will be applauded for whatever you do, and everyone will think it is justified. But it is different for ordinary people.
"Now that I think about it, I'm lucky that I wasn't corrupted by Ye Hua, otherwise I would have really been a dog for Ye Hua and the others."
When Yue Yan reflected on the days she spent with Ye Hua, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that Ye Hua, with his unique charm and influence in her heart, offered her attractive conditions and invited her to join his camp and become his assistant.
These conditions were enough to make many people excited, or even waver, but Yue Qian stuck to her principles and beliefs.
I have been climbing for so long just to be a dog for the nobles?
Fuck off!
At least the Sword Bearer can receive various tasks related to civilians, and if he becomes a noble, he will become their white glove.
At that time, she was almost lost.
Ye Hua's invitation is not only a job opportunity for Yue Yan, but also a huge test of her values.
Who wouldn’t want to indulge in the world of glamour, feasting and revelry? But the hardships Yue Qian had experienced became a small finger holding her back, preventing her from falling into it.
Yue Yan knew very well that if she accepted Ye Hua's invitation, she might live a more comfortable life, but that kind of life was not what she was pursuing. What she longed for was real change, to speak for those voiceless civilians, to break the old shackles and find a new path that belonged to herself and everyone.
It’s just that I was still in the accumulation stage and hadn’t made up my mind yet.
After all, she's not that great.
"If I really want to fight against the nobles, I hope I can really have some influence among the common people."
Yuexuan sighed.
Although she said this, in fact, she already knew her approximate status among the civilians. She gradually realized that she had become an influential figure among the civilians.
Just like what I said before, the power of one person is small, but the power of the collective is great.
She had chatted with some colleagues when she was free before. Fortunately, she had good relationships with people and could get along well with them. She also had all kinds of information and previous connections. Together, they could form a small organization. Although it was not even the size of a basic medium-sized organization, it was still an organization with a name.
To deal with Ye Hua, you have to do it step by step. After all, she has an entire noble family behind her.
Yue Qian had no doubt that now that Ye Hua had returned to Dragon City, he would definitely mobilize all his forces to deal with her. Although her own organization had absorbed people who wanted to stand up for the civilians, they definitely could not confront Ye Hua head-on.
She stood up and began to pace around the room, quickly analyzing the situation in her mind. She could not be careless and had to act immediately to gather her strength as quickly as possible and prepare for possible confrontations. Time was her most precious resource.
Although the order has been given, I still feel a little uneasy.
The first thing Yue Qian thought of was her small organization. Although it was small in scale, all the members were people she could trust, and each of them had their own unique abilities and resources.
There are many people who are actually more capable than the nobles, but they just cannot make a name for themselves. Over time, they accumulate resentment.
Who would have thought that one day she would become an organization, even though it was not a mainstream one...
Hopefully I can get some time for growth.
Chapter 631 Let These People Suffer a Little More
The centerpiece of the hall is a magnificent crystal chandelier, shining with dazzling light, hanging from an exquisite ceiling painted with exquisite frescoes, showing the charm of classical art. The floor of the hall is paved with shiny marble and covered with handmade Persian carpets, whose intricate patterns and bright colors are amazing.
The walls of the hall are hung with gold-framed oil paintings depicting important historical scenes and aristocratic figures. Between these paintings, there are golden wall lamps inlaid, emitting a soft light, adding a sense of warmth and luxury to the space. On one side of the hall, there is a row of tall windows decorated with heavy velvet curtains, the color of which complements the overall style of the hall.
In the center of this hall are some exquisite furniture, including beautifully carved chairs and sofas, and ornately decorated coffee tables.
As soon as you enter the hall, the first thing that catches your eye is a huge cashmere carpet. This carpet is very thick and delicate. It is spread carelessly on the rough flint red clay, covering the entire floor of the cave. The carpet is embroidered with complex and exquisite patterns in rich colors.
The red soil only occupies a small area of the hall, and luminous pearls of various sizes are placed in an orderly manner in the hall. These luminous pearls are scattered around with their unique aesthetic structure and emit a soft light. The light emitted by these luminous pearls makes the whole hall as bright as day.
Various exquisite wooden furniture are displayed around, which are made of precious woods such as golden nanmu, huanghuali, and red rosewood.
These furniture do not pursue the uniformity of raw materials, but instead select the most suitable materials according to the unique design and function of each piece of furniture. The colors of these different woods reflect each other. From exquisite chairs to intricately carved tables, each piece of furniture is a work of art, but when piled up, it only makes people feel messy.
These are all obviously extremely exquisite works of art, and each one is very expensive. Even the seemingly inconspicuous flint and red clay under the carpet is equally extraordinary. But for some reason, when piled together, these things only appear messy, and the original magic has completely disappeared without a trace.
If you let others judge, it is just a garbage station with a better appearance, where luxury goods are thrown everywhere, as if the hall will look good if you fill it with money.
In Dragon City, those who can have these things can be said to be nobles, but compared to nobles, this place is more like a nouveau riche, just decorating the hall with money awards, without any aesthetic appeal.
Ye Hua sat on an exquisitely carved chair, her posture looking both elegant and somewhat distant. The chair was made of precious wood with smooth lines, and the cushions were covered with soft and noble fabrics, but Ye Hua seemed unmoved by this luxurious environment.
Her eyes slowly swept over the expensive objects piled up in a mess: night pearls of various sizes, furniture made of various rare woods, and the thick and delicate cashmere carpet. Although each item undoubtedly represented extremely high value and artistic achievement, Ye Hua's brows frowned slightly, and a trace of imperceptible disgust flashed in her eyes.
Everything around seemed so magnificent, but in Ye Hua's view, these were just flashy decorations.
“I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
The moment Ye Hua returned to Dragon City, her heart was filled with mixed emotions.
What will happen when I return to Longcheng?
Will Yue Qian come and bite me like a mad dog again? Or will she report it to Ji Ye Ling, or even higher up? Or will she attack me halfway?
Preferably the last one.
In this way, she could directly use this as an excuse to ask Ji Yeling to conduct a thorough investigation of Longcheng. Of course, it was impossible for her to do so alone, but don't forget that there were nobles standing behind her.
Her interests are the interests of the nobility, her face is the face of the nobility, and her name is the name of the nobility.
A long time ago, Ye Hua heard that the reason for putting her and Yue Yan together in the same team was that both of them were the best of the younger generation in their respective classes.
This title will allow her to directly take advantage of the situation.
But Yue Qian didn't seem as stupid as she imagined.
She originally thought that Yue Chen would cause trouble for her previous actions, or tell Ji Ye Ling about it, but unexpectedly, everything was unusually calm.
The streets of Longcheng are still bustling with people, and the laughter and chatter of people in the market are as lively as usual.
At that time, Ye Hua was strolling on the familiar street, her eyes swept through the crowd, and she secretly wondered what Yue Yan's silence meant.
She knew that Yue Qian was not a good person, so she thought nothing happened just because she didn't take any action. She was very wrong.
Yue Xuan's silence may indicate that things will become more complicated, which makes Ye Hua feel a little uneasy.
She knew that in this situation, any small disturbance could herald the coming of a storm. She recalled her past with Yue Chen. If those behaviors were all pretended by Yue Chen, then she knew Yue Chen's wisdom and scheming better than anyone else.
Back to the present.
After she returned to the nobles, the first thing she did was to investigate what Yue Qian did when she returned to Longcheng.
It didn't take long for Ye Hua to find out that Yue Yan had established an organization.
The moment he received this news, a complex emotion passed through Ye Hua's heart.
She didn't expect that Yue Qian would openly set up an organization at this time. Would this move bring any great benefits to the organization that usually likes to manipulate behind the scenes?
To make things more convenient?
Ye Hua sat quietly in a corner of the room, holding the message handed to him in his hand, his brows furrowed.
She knew that the establishment of this organization was not simply to make Yue Qian's operations more convenient, there must be a deeper purpose behind it.
Yue Qian has always been good at creating her own character, and every decision she makes is well thought out.
"Perhaps it is to make it easier for me to take action after I find evidence against them? Or...are these people finally going to take action against Long Cheng openly?"
Ye Hua pondered, thinking about Yue Yan's possible intentions.
Is this organization used to expand her influence, or is it paving the way for a larger plan?
Ye Hua knew that this organization’s ambitions were not limited to the present.
After learning that Yue Yan might be paving the way for the next action, Ye Hua had to act more carefully. She needed to understand the specific situation of this organization, its members, purpose, and its possible impact on Longcheng and even the larger situation.
Various possible scenarios and response strategies flashed through Ye Hua's mind quickly, but in the end, there was no solution.
Although the nobles in Dragon City can be said to have connections everywhere.
However, this information is still not enough for Ye Hua to have a comprehensive understanding of Yue Yan's actions. She knows that in order to truly uncover Yue Yan's secrets, she must go deep into Yue Yan and understand her true intentions.
For this reason, Ye Hua decided to temporarily put aside other matters in her hands and concentrate on collecting information about Yue Yan. She began to look for people who might be insiders, trying to get more information about Yue Yan from them.
During this process, Ye Hua had to act more carefully. She needed to quietly collect intelligence without attracting Yue Yan's attention, and at the same time pay attention to Yue Yan's every move so as not to be distracted by her appearance.
After a period of effort, Ye Hua finally found a trustworthy insider in Yue Yan's forces.
That being said, if someone can be bought with money, how can we trust him?
However, for the time being, we can only find internal responses of this quality.
Through this insider, she began to understand some of the things Yue Qian had done during her absence, including setting up her own organization, colluding with other forces, and actively expanding her sphere of influence.
"So why didn't Ji Yeling stop Yue Chen? No, no, I can't think about it that way."
The Sword Holder among the Sword Holders would not suddenly go out and form an organization without anyone caring about it.
After receiving information from an insider, Ye Hua learned that all the members of this organization were people who were not valued in Longcheng because they had no bloodline.
This makes Ye Hua even more suspicious of Yue Yan's purpose. Why did Yue Yan choose these neglected people as her assistants? Is she trying to use their dissatisfaction to achieve something? Or has she discovered some hidden qualities in these people and thinks they can help her achieve greater ambitions?
These people are most likely from that organization, sent to assist Yue Qian.
But there is no evidence yet.
The intelligence from these people was easy to collect, at least it was not kept secret. As time went by, Ye Hua received the results of the investigation by the followers she sent out.
The report lists in detail the background of each member of the Yuexuan organization, including their origin, family, education and past career. Surprisingly, the backgrounds of these people seem very normal, even ordinary.
But the more ordinary and mediocre it was, and the more seamless the background was, the more Ye Hua felt it was unusual.
She sat alone at the long table in the study, her fingers sliding lightly across the papers, her eyes gleaming with thought.
The calmness on the surface often hides undercurrents, and these ordinary backgrounds cannot completely eliminate her doubts, but make her feel even stranger.
She wondered why these seemingly ordinary people were chosen by Yue Qian, and whether they were really as ordinary as they appeared to be.
If we look at it from her perspective, these people are all members of that organization, so they were invited to join Yueqian’s organization. But what if we look at it from a normal person’s perspective?
"There must be something wrong with these people..."
Ye Hua looked closely at the intelligence and found that although they possessed outstanding talents and potential, some of them were not reused due to their bloodline issues.
But here, these people were reused in Yuexuan's organization and gradually showed their value.
"Even ordinary people can be reused. Your achievements are not determined by your bloodline."
This is the slogan they shouted.
Ye Hua began to wonder if Yue Yan wanted to use these people to change the status quo of Dragon City, break the shackles of bloodline, and allow more talented people to be valued, in order to pave the way for subsequent actions.
In her opinion, the new organization established by Yuexuan is not just a simple display, but has deeper intentions.
She believes that the establishment of this organization is to convey a message: even ordinary civilians can achieve extraordinary achievements. She feels that Yue Qian is trying to break the traditional restrictions of bloodline and social class through this organization and convey a new social concept.
But it's just a slogan after all.
Yue Qian may want to use this organization to show that no matter what their background is, as long as they have talent and work hard, anyone can gain the proper status and respect in society. This concept is subversive in a traditional society like Longcheng that values bloodline, and may cause quite a stir.
But is that all?
wrong.
Once the power behind this organization starts to operate, the impact will be immeasurable.
That organization could be paving the way for its own greater agenda, perhaps even changing the entire social fabric of Dragon City by elevating the status of those who are not normally valued.
She believed that Yue Xuan's purpose was not as simple as it seemed, but had a deeper agenda.
In his opinion, Yue Qian might actually be using ordinary people as cannon fodder by improving their status and participation, and then using them as tools to deal with Longcheng.
Ye Hua’s perspective is that Yue Yan is recruiting these ordinary people into the organization, seemingly to provide them with opportunities and platforms to showcase their talents, but in fact he may be using them to achieve his own greater goals.
