Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

"It's impossible! Don't even think about it!"

In the conference room, Ling Yuandong, who was sitting on the side seat, stood up abruptly, staring angrily at Ling Yao, who was sitting on the host and guest seats, looking foolish—as if he had just said "Take back the command of the host's guard." Right" is not the person who shakes up the whole situation.

And the current Ling Yao didn't take the emotional Ling Yuandong seriously at all, he just scanned everyone on the table with different expressions, and knocked on the table calmly:

"Hi? I'm done talking, folks. Any questions?"

Present here is Ling Linhan's entire "leadership team" in Hengnan.Except for Ling Feiyu, an "old friend", the other men and women were quite unfamiliar to Ling Yao.

However, Ling Yuandong, who had "argued" with him in front of the Hengnan Boundary Monument earlier, Ling Yao remembered him the first time he saw him--and this hot-tempered one just slapped the table angrily, but no one responded at the moment.In addition, Ling Yao didn't want to talk to him, which made him look a little embarrassed.

And the others didn't mean to snub him out, they were just stunned by Ling Yao's sudden "news", and couldn't say anything for a while - at least they certainly wouldn't jump up without thinking like Ling Yuandong Venting emotions like this, rebuttals that are pointless to discuss—it’s okay for one or two people to do this, if the entire team is like this, it will only be a joke to the host.

What's more, in this "meeting", there were ten people from Hengnan's side at once, but Ling Yao didn't even bring a military advisor or guard - no matter in terms of brains or momentum, they should have the upper hand.If they "negotiate" under such circumstances, it would be too bad for them to be led by the nose by Ling Yao.

And a brown-clothed woman sitting on Ling Yao's left who had been recording the contents of the meeting just now finally finished drawing the last line of ink on the paper, rolled up her sleeves, picked up a pen, turned her face and asked indifferently:

"You mean, you want to take away all the guards belonging to the main family in the team resisting the demons, and then integrate with the team you are leading now to form the second resistance team of the Ling family; The command of the two teams is entirely in your hands. The deployment of the troops on both sides cannot interfere with each other. Am I not mistaken?"

Ling Yao glanced at the other party, nodded with a smile:

"That's right, that's what it means. Moreover, although I have taken back the command of the guards of the main house, the total amount of supplies provided to you will not decrease, and I will not care about how you distribute them. But on the other hand, our side The supplies have nothing to do with you.

"As for the division of war zones, if you mention it, I can choose whether to accept it or not based on its rationality. It's best if other cooperation can be negotiated, and if they can't be negotiated, they can go their own way. Don't interfere with anyone else, isn't it good? Tsk tsk, if you really want to talk about it, you still take advantage of it."

"You are trying to win credit and disperse our troops! Only unified dispatch can we exert the greatest combat effectiveness!"

A tall man sitting on Ling Linhan's right hand frowned and said in a low voice.Although he didn't directly accuse Ling Yao of anything, his dissatisfaction has already been revealed between the lines - the consequence of dispersing troops is to weaken the overall strength of the team.This is an act of adding chaos to the entire resistance front for the self-interest of the master.

Ling Yao could naturally hear the voice of the other party.But he didn't refute, but nodded in agreement:

"Well, it is true in theory."

Now everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay.Needle drop could be heard in the room for a while.

Ling Yao came to Hengnan on behalf of the main family's interests this time. These people knew with their toes that the other party would try their best to regain the command that the main family had to hand over to Ling Linhan.

But all of them thought that no matter how arrogant Ling Yao acted, he would always have to worry about the face of the master's family - things that harm others and benefit themselves, such as seizing power and robbing merit, would at least find "you are not capable enough to afford it" and "the master's family is I’m here to help you, not to harm you” and “I’m doing this for the good of everyone” to cover up my despicable deeds.

And in this way, they only need to prove that their abilities are indeed stronger than Ling Yao, an "outsider", and expose the "dirty and shameless true face" of the master's family in front of the world, their purpose of damaging the face of the master's family and boosting their own power is naturally finished.

And in this way, it would be difficult for the master's family to blatantly attack Heng Nan for these things - after all, it was the master's family who made the mistake first.

As a result, a certain young master of salted fish didn't follow the routine at all.

People don't care about the "glorious image" of the master's family at all, and they don't have the ideological burden of "a gentleman"-"I just want to take back the power that belongs to the master's family. If you don't hand it over, you have to hand it over, otherwise you are ignoring the master." The majesty of the family, disregarding the overall situation of the Ling family, throwing bowls and scolding mothers when they are full, is to betray the Ling family!"

It is said that bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.After Ling Yao's "brazen" disturbance, it disrupted their plans and put them in a dilemma.

What's more, Ling Yao didn't take back all the command power.The guards sent by other tribes are still in their Hengnan hands.In this way, if something went wrong during the battle, they couldn't put all the responsibility on Ling Yao and label the other party as "blind command".

On the contrary, Ling Yao could accuse Ling Linhan of negligence by saying, "I know I'm not familiar with the battlefield, but I still assign such a dangerous area to the master's family. Are you deliberately harming the master's family?"

If you want to take advantage of this opportunity and pull other people to fight directly with the main family, not to mention whether the other tribes can be of one mind with Hengnan, but the real material channel is still in the hands of the main family—this is also the case of Hengnan. The fundamental reason why this group of people wanted to rebel several times, but dared not do it.

Although they all knew that Ling Yao was not the kind of person like Ling Xiao whose brains were stuffed with muscles, and what happened every now and then.He dared to say such "arrogant" words in front of this large group of people, so he must have a backup.

Or maybe, Ling Yao didn't mean to provoke them on purpose and let them take the initiative to break things up.

But they couldn't put on airs and continue to beat around the bush to make Ling Yao let go.

The villains who should be, what should be said bluntly, if they want to achieve their goals, they can't escape the same:

"Bofeng is right. There are internal struggles at critical moments. If this kind of ignorance of the people's safety is spread, what will outsiders think of the Ling family? The Ling family can be the master of this land, not because of the master's family." personal supremacy."

However, Ling Yao pretended to be a joke, and looked meaningfully at Ling Lianpeng who spoke.That gaze made Ling Lianpeng feel unhappy all over, as if what he said just now was a big joke.

"What do you mean! Could it be that he said something wrong?!"

Ling Yuandong slapped the table again, roaring with righteous indignation.

Ling Yao, who was in a leisurely posture, finally changed his posture at this moment, propping himself up.Both of his arms were leaning on the table, and when he closed his hands, he actually clapped his hands:

"That's right. The brother said it very well."

"But you said 'in theory' so. So what do you think 'in practice'?"

All eyes turned to Ling Linhan, and even Ling Yao showed a rare expression of approval:

"It seems that you have made some progress during this time."

Before the other people present could say anything, a light suddenly flashed in Ling Yao's palm.He flicked his wrist immediately, and flew the stack of documents in Ling Linhan's direction.

Ling Linhan also immediately stretched out his hand, quickly caught the information, and spread it flat on the table.

Others also cast their gazes over.While they were browsing this information, they heard Ling Yao's voice slowly spreading in their ears:

"This is since 34 days ago, the patriarch Ling Weiran temporarily handed over all the command of the guards on the front line against the demons to Ling Linhan, the representative elected by Hengnan, in order to take the overall situation into consideration. Casualties of the host family.

"After each battle, the casualties of each clan ranged from [-] to [-] percent, and the casualties of the Hengnan branch remained at about [-] percent."

"Who doesn't know that our Hengnan people take the lead? The reason for the few casualties is that our people are capable, command well, and cooperate with each other tacitly!"

"but!"

Before he knew it, Ling Yao had already put away his playful and loose attitude, and his voice was full of solemnity and anger.

"The guards sent by the master's family often maintain more than [-]% casualties, and even as high as [-]% in several key battles!

"Don't tell me that the overall strength of the main family's team is insufficient. Except for the guards guarding the border and guarding the ancestral land, all the elites of the Ling family have been sent to the front. If you feel that the guards in Hengnan are strong, then what about you? Explain their higher casualty rate than other tribes?

"Don't say that the person in charge misconducted the command. Not to mention that I can guarantee his ability and character, even if he has problems, the patriarch handed over the command to Heng Nan, isn't it just to let you correct these problems at any time? ?

"No one from the master's family came to ask, but it doesn't mean that this part of the casualties is justified! As the representative sent by the master's family this time, I have every reason to suspect that the Hengnan branch is deliberately embarrassing the master's family in order to fight for power. The guards even deliberately designed to let them go to the most dangerous place to carry mines! Death! In order to weaken the strength of the main family and stigmatize the main family.

"There is still internal fighting at such a critical moment. If this kind of disregard for the safety of the people is spread, what will outsiders think of the Ling family? It is not because of the hegemony of a few people that the Ling family can be the master of this land!"

Ling Yao stood up abruptly, slapped the table hard, and gave them Ling Lianpeng's words clearly.And his resounding appearance at this time is far more shocking than Ling Yuandongfang's impotent and furious appearance.

Rao knew clearly that Ling Yao's words must have exaggerated the facts, and some people present couldn't help avoiding their eyes, feeling an unreasonable guilt in their hearts.

"It's just nonsense! Measure the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! What evidence do you have to prove that their heavy casualties are the result of our design? Moreover, if you say heavy casualties, they are heavy casualties?! Then I still talk about your things It's all fake!"

Ling Yao squinted at Ling Yuandong, and said with a sneer:

"I don't know if your Hengnan's data is authentic or not, but all the files here are reported by the leaders of the various clans at the front line, checked and stamped by Hengnan, and finally sent to the main family. According to what you said , that is, the ten or so branches of the Ling family, together with our main family, are making fakes under your noses?

"If your Hengnan lineage is so incompetent, I will re-apply to the main elder council to completely take back all the power in your hands and re-appoint a new commander."

At the stall where Ling Yuandong was speechless for a moment, Ling Yao clapped his hands again, bringing everyone's attention to him:

"Everyone, you can check the authenticity of the data after the meeting. No matter what the process is or what the result is, you need to give me an explanation.

"And before the investigation of the whole matter is clear, in order to prevent some of you from intensifying retaliation against the master's family, and to give a reasonable explanation to the guards who lost their comrades in arms, I will take back the The command power of a team. This is not to disperse the troops, but to preserve the remaining vitality of the Ling family when your command is obviously inappropriate, and to preserve your face to the greatest extent.

"If you still can't explain the casualties of the main family's team after one month, I will make the whole incident public. Now you can deliberately suppress the guards of the main family for the sake of profit. Or even other innocent people? At that time, whose side do you think the people will stand on? Will they trust the Hengnan branch to lead everyone to victory fairly?"

Amidst the dark faces of others, Ling Linhan suddenly stood up, looked at Ling Yao at the same level, and asked through gritted teeth:

"For the sake of profit, deliberately suppress other branches. Are you sure this is describing us, not the behavior of the master himself?!"

Ling Yao didn't expect that what he just said just now brought back some memories of Ling Linhan's back then.But he didn't care about Ling Linhan's hostility at this moment, instead he calmly asked:

"Are you sure you want to put aside the current problem itself and come to settle the old score with me?"

The completely different emotional expressions of the two brought the scene to a stalemate for a while.Even Ling Yuandong pressed his figure silently, and sat back in his original position silently, not daring to say another word.

And after this brief but lengthy silence, Ling Linhan suddenly closed his eyes and finally broke the silence:

"I will investigate this matter and give everyone an explanation. Tomorrow, I will also announce in front of everyone that I will transfer the command of the main team to you and redefine the layout of the front line."

"Brother Han!"

The other people present made such voices in unison, as if expressing strong dissatisfaction with Ling Linhan's compromise.

Before Ling Linhan could explain anything further, Ling Yao suddenly sneered:

"Although you have grown up, the people under you are even more stupid than you were back then. They actually questioned your decision in front of me? It is simply unbearable. You know, just this, I can Detain you with a name of lax governance and no prestige, and take back your command right directly."

As soon as Ling Yao said this, the others immediately fell silent, and tried their best to restrain their expressions.It's a pity that this step was done too late, and the restraint was limited, which made people laugh even more in Ling Yao's eyes.

"For the sake of you making the right choice, let me explain a few words for you.

"I, Ling Yao, came here today not to negotiate with you, but to inform you on behalf of the master family! In order to make the power transfer as smooth as possible, I patiently explained to you the reason why the master family made such a decision.

"Although these words may be coercion in your eyes, the fact is that they are giving you a step down. Because even if I don't say these, it is only natural to take back the command on behalf of the master! Do you still need your permission? !

"If you can tell the reason why you can't complete the task, tell me the embarrassment, or express dissatisfaction in private, or even curse and swear at me, that's all. But now in front of me, every objection you raise Even questioning, I can be regarded as disrespect to the Lord's family, even rebellion!

"I can say, Ling Linhan, it's too late for you to say this! You shouldn't have given them a chance to speak out against you! If my temper is worse, you still want command power? Don't even think about it easily today. Get out of this room!"

"Could it be that the master's family can be so domineering and authoritarian?!"

As soon as Ling Yuandong said this, Ling Yao's eyes suddenly turned.Just looking at it made Ling Yuandong's back feel cold, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, Ling Yao did not intensify the coercion he exerted, and even took the initiative to withdraw his power after this long silence.

Just when everyone was relieved because they didn't understand, Ling Yao said indifferently:

"You must first see where you are. If you need to learn how to get along with superiors and subordinates, you should ask the people on your side, not me.

"If you ask me this way... Everyone, you can't afford the 'fee' I charge."
