Liang Mansion——
In the guest room, everyone was seated, but no one said a word, they just buried their heads in drinking tea, and the atmosphere was a bit dull for a while.
After a cup of tea was gone, the old man Zuo Le called Tai Tuo put down the teacup, let out a soft breath, and said:
"Zuo Le."
Hearing Taifu calling him, Zuo Le quickly put down the cup in his hand, straightened his back and waited.
"I already knew what happened on the way. In this incident, Si Suitai was too aggressive and almost ruined his plan."
"Si Suitai was originally a department from the Ministry of Rites, but now it wants to surpass the Ministry of Rites to gain a greater right to speak, and it is often a little aggressive in dealing with giant beasts. This time it is almost a bad thing. What do you think? it is good?"
Taifu's voice was not loud, centered and deep, with clear words. Hearing Taifu's words, Zuo Le also lowered his head. He knew that the failure of Si Suitai's action this time was caused by his immaturity. There will be opinions.
"It's all up to the Taifu, and I will accept any punishment."
"Okay, after you return to Beijing, you can take the punishment yourself."
"....clear."
After Zuo Le was arranged, the Grand Tutor turned to look at Liang Xun again. Although Liang Xun was the trigger for the incident between the wine cup and the giant beast, Liang Xun had laid out many plans, but all of them were blocked by the arrival of Ashes. There is no merit or fault in being disturbed.
But this kind of talented Taifu naturally wanted to recruit, so he asked Liang Xun to prepare for the handover of the post of prefect and follow him to Beijing.
"Lin Shaoqing."
"exist."
Originally, Jing Zhe, who had almost no sense of presence at the side, and basically paddled the whole time, heard the Tai Tuo calling him, his body trembled, and he hurriedly cheered up. For some reason, he mentioned himself at this time.
"The proposal you put forward after you came back from Rhodes Island, although Dayan thought it was a bit of a fantasy at the time, so he shelved it, but looking at it now, we have wronged you."
"I will inform Dali Temple about this, and I will make compensation."
Jing Zhe was still a little dazed and staring at this moment, although she felt that she could not reach this level, she still bowed her head to accept the kindness of the Taifu.
After making arrangements for Zuo Le, Liang Xun, and Jing Zhe, everyone's eyes finally focused on the person who was at the center of this incident.
Sitting at the table, Ashes who was still sipping tea froze slightly, put down the teacup, and found that everyone was looking at him, and he knew it.
"Everyone, if you have any questions, just ask directly. If I can answer, I will let you know."
Reaching out to push the teacup aside, Ashes put his hands on the table lightly, with a casual look on his face.
Liang Xun and the others looked at each other a few times, not knowing where to ask the question, and finally the Grand Tutor spoke first:
"Your Excellency, please allow me to apologize for Zuo Le's matter. He is still young and still has a young heart. Sometimes he speaks directly, so don't take it to heart."
"It's okay, he has already paid the price, and I will naturally not pursue it."
Ashes waved his hand, indicating that the matter has been turned over, and he is not the kind of person who will open up old scores and keep overnight revenge, because usually revenge is reported on the spot.
"Your Excellency is really good-tempered, and it's no wonder that you can control that kind of mighty power."
Taifu stroked his beard and sighed.
When he came to the foot of Yanjiang Peak earlier, he noticed the abnormal existence, and he used the secret technique to get a glimpse of the leopard, which can be regarded as watching the epic battle.
The stronger a person is, the more clearly he can see where the limit is. At his level, he is not far from the ceiling.
But when he saw the crowned Ashes pinching Suixiang under his body and beating violently, even the well-informed and well-informed Taifu was still deeply shocked.
That was by no means the mighty power that Terra could carry, he was so sure.
"Oh? Did you see it?" Ashes turned his body slightly, and turned slightly towards the direction of the master.
"Your Excellency is joking, but it is just some small tricks. If it is not for Your Excellency's acquiescence, how can I get a glimpse of it?"
"I already knew about Your Excellency in the previous urgent secret letter, but I never thought that it was just the tip of the iceberg. Only after I met Your Excellency did I realize how big this world is and how vast this place is."
After calmly patting Rainbow Fart, Taifu turned left and right, and finally turned to the question he really wanted to ask.
"It's just... why did you come to Shangshu with an existence like your Excellency?"
Even so, Tai Tuo still spoke in a rather cryptic manner, wanting to ask why Ashes came to Shang Shu, and his own attitude.
"Hehe...I should have said before that I came here with my friends, and I don't have any other wishes. If you are so suspicious, there is no need for it."
"I am naturally aware of your concerns. I am an operator of Rhodes Island, and naturally represent the will of Rhodes Island. You can rest assured about this."
After a little beating, Ashes expressed his attitude directly.
Since he is still an operator of Rhodes Island, he will naturally follow Rhodes Island's course of action, and Rhodes Island happens to be a neutral organization belonging to Borderless, which does not favor any country or political system, so it can be regarded as a gift for the Grand Tutor. Feed a reassurance pill.
"With Your Excellency's words, then I will feel at ease."
Knowing that Ashes had no intention of participating in the political chaos of Terra, the Taifu finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the combat power displayed by Ashes earlier was too terrifying. He was almost like a nuclear bomb. To see who is upset, you can directly flatten the opponent, and it is safe, efficient and pollution-free.
It is naturally impossible for such a person to be drawn to one's own side, and being able to remain neutral is already the best result.
"By the way, I still have something to discuss with Nian."
Looking at the bored Nian Xiling and the three sitting on both sides of Ashes, the Taifu raised his eyebrows and saw some clues.
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"To be precise, the imperial court wants to make a deal with you, and I hope you can set up a Loucheng agency outside the Tianji Pavilion in Saibei in exchange for one person."
"Oh? Then what can I get? You also know that this is a big project, right?"
Nian showed a somewhat troubled expression, and managed to pull himself together, wanting to hear what conditions Dayan could offer.
"Originally, the imperial court would help you with what you want to do, but now it seems...you don't need it anymore."
The Tai Tuo looked at Ashes beside Nian and shook his head slightly.
"If you want something, just ask directly, as long as it is within Dayan's ability, I can make the decision."
"Huh? It's not a small hand."
Nian pretended to be surprised, her current life can be said to be quite happy, covered by ashes, she doesn't need to worry about anything at all, although the conditions offered by the Taifu are attractive, but at this moment, it is inevitable that they are a little weak.
"Well, let me think about it, what's the situation over there now?"
"As always, countless soldiers and celestial masters went to Saibei to fight and die on the battlefield, but Xie Chong and ghostly demons still kept killing them, and they couldn't be done once and for all."
"Evil worshiping ghosts? What is that?"
Hui Hui, who originally thought he had nothing to do, became interested when he heard this, and asked the Tai Tuo a question.
"Evil demons are entrenched in the north of Dayan. They are completely different from human beings. They are completely deadly enemies. Although Dayan wants to eradicate them, it has been nearly a thousand years, but it has had little effect."
"Oh? Why?"
"They are existences that conflict with the world, and will infect and even change the nature of matter, but this is not the most terrifying."
"They...are powerful because they know it."
Chapter 686
The Tai Tu and his party also almost asked what they knew first, and they left the Liang Mansion first, and the conversation at the tea banquet was almost over.
Although there was no longer any reason to stay in Shangshu, it was not difficult to wait for a few days. Ashes and the others could continue to play in Shangshu, just to see if they had any intentions.
Nian couldn't sit still, so he dragged Xi and ran out to go shopping, leaving Ash at home alone, and Ling also staying at home.
It was raining lightly, Ashes leaned on the railing of the Liang Mansion building, looked at the patter outside the eaves, his eyes diverged slightly, and he looked a little absent-minded.
"Hey, here, what do you want to write?"
Ling's voice came from behind, Ashes also felt a light touch on his shoulder, turned around, but his cheek was pressed against a slender index finger, looking a little funny.
"Hmm, I was fooled."
Ling took back that somewhat childish action, stepped forward two steps contentedly, stood shoulder to shoulder with Ashes, and asked:
"Still thinking about those things the master said? The extraterrestrial demons who are powerful because of their knowledge...that is not a fuel-efficient lamp."
With a single command, he pointed out what Ashes was thinking at this time, but the action of preparing to pour wine into his mouth was also somewhat stagnant, as if he was quite afraid of the demon.
"Maybe, it doesn't make much sense if you don't see it with your own eyes. I thought that Taifu would exchange the year's condition for me."
"It can't be changed. The Taifu will not come up and trust someone who has nothing to do with it. Besides, no one knows what will happen after you see those things. Are they stronger? Or weaker? No one dares It's a place to gamble."
"After all, it's not easy for everyone."
Ling patted Ashes on the shoulder, she had also been stationed in the Great Yan border for a hundred years, so naturally she was not ignorant of the imperial court's thinking.
The ash is a huge anomaly, and the demon is a disaster that has long been entrenched in the north of the Great Flame.
Ashes can remain neutral and act according to the will of Rhodes Island, but the demons will not play with you, invade, rewrite, destroy, and die endlessly.
This is also the reason why Tai Tuo breathed a sigh of relief after Ashes clarified his attitude, he did not seek to win him over, but wished not to make him an enemy.
Relying on such tolerance, Yan Kingdom gradually developed into a behemoth on Terra.
"Okay, these things are not up to us yet, so where is the time for us to sigh here? Brother Ashes, the previous wine...you should still have it?"
Ling bumped Ashes with his shoulder, and showed him his wine gourd, which was barely left. The intention was quite obvious.
After hearing what she said, Ashes also felt that there was some truth. Anyway, no matter it was a demon or something else, if he really wanted to do some tricks, he could just push it flat. If you can’t push the king mode, you can push it in the original mode. If you still can’t get it done, then call the fire prevention girl and push it together.
There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by a spiral sword. If there is, then another sword will be used.
He took out the barrel of Yuansu wine again, and in view of the light rain outside the house, Ashes and Ling sat down again and began to push and change glasses. Drag Ashes and Jingzhe into it, this time it's the re-drinking in the Liang Mansion after all the trivial matters are over.
The light rain brought a slightly cool temperature, but the wine still exuded a faint residual warmth. After drinking a glass of Yuansu wine, the whole body warmed up. After drinking two glasses, you could smell the faint sun between your mouth and tongue. Taste, after three glasses of wine, even in the lips and teeth, there is that unique flavor.
"Hmm... no matter how many glasses you drink, this wine is so charming, little brother Ashes, do you also drink like this on weekdays?"
Ling's face turned rosy, she got up holding the wine cup, moved from the opposite side of Ashes to beside him, sat down, her figure swayed slightly.
"I don't drink much on weekdays. If I want to drink, I will drink some ordinary wine with my friends."
Ashes answered honestly, in Rhodes Island, unless he met ACE and they overreacted to find him to fight for wine, the rest of the time he rarely drank like Ling. On the one hand, no one in Rhodes Island like Ling Being able to drink this way, on the other hand, the previous curse has not been cured, so I can't experience the feeling of being drunk.
"Oh~ this is so boring~ life is too short, enjoy yourself in time... um, hiccup... brother Ash..."
Ling seemed to be drinking too much and too hastily. At this time, her face was already blushing, her eyes were a little wandering, she began to shake her head, and her body fell limply, snuggling on Ashes' shoulder.
"you're drunk."
Ashes put down his wine glass, wanting to take Ling to rest, but never wanted to be rejected.
"...Well, I'm not drunk...I can still drink..." Ling pouted, holding Ashish's arm tightly with one hand and refusing to let go, while the other hand wanted to pour wine into his mouth, Stopped by Ashes.
