Chapter 628 Cooperation Achieved
To be fair, given the current tense situation within the Great Yan Dynasty, it is a good choice for the Tatars to either sit on the sidelines or practice bat diplomacy to get benefits from both the Great Yan court and the Great Yan sect.
But unfortunately, the arrangement of the former king of Tatars put Jia Yi on the spot, and the original room for maneuver was only left with this two-choice question.
Either choose the sect or the court, there is no third option.
The rising morning light accompanied the revival of the hustle and bustle on the street and reflected into the house. The opened pot lid let the meat aroma in the blue and white pot permeate every corner. Four people and a dog sat around the low table and enjoyed breakfast silently. The only sound was the big yellow dog's grunting sound of eating like a starving ghost.
Life needs a sense of ritual, and life also needs mood.
While chewing the food he cooked slowly, Xu Yuan gently stroked the unicorn wolf incarnation lying at his feet, and occasionally glanced at the Western girl who was eating silently with her eyes downcast.
If he stood in Jia Yi's position, between the two major military groups of the Great Yan court and the Great Yan sect, Xu Yuan would choose the latter without hesitation.
Because whether it is from the imminent crisis or the long-term situation of the Great Yan Dynasty, the sect has the absolute initiative.
Choosing the sect to stand on the side of the court is more likely to win than choosing the court.
This is why Nalan Ting gave his heart to the sect.
However, when considering a matter, the factor of personal decision-making must also be taken into account.
From the macro perspective of the entire Tatar tribe, it is natural to put interests first. After all, if they lose, they may become a barbarian tribe, but from Jia Yi's personal perspective, the considerations are different.
In the final analysis, the sect was too rude to the previous generation of the Desert Goddess, and directly treated people as containers for raising the descendants of the Insect Saint. If Jia Yi cooperated with the sect, it would be equivalent to handing herself over.
But nothing is absolute.
Thinking in his heart, Xu Yuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Jia Yi, whispering:
"In fact, you don't have to worry too much. The current situation is not the same as fifty years ago. The sect's attitude towards you may be much better than that towards the previous generation of the Desert Goddess. But based on the existing information, the sect should have secretly cultivated a puppet of its own."
Jia Yi raised her eyes, her eyes were quiet and calm:
"In the past ten years, my prestige has long been spread among various tribes. In terms of orthodoxy, no one is more suitable than me."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with interest.
The previous example of the goddess of the previous generation finally added a heavy weight to the Xiangfu on the scale in Jia Yi's heart.
This girl is bargaining.
But just when her faith collapsed, she sorted out her thoughts so quickly and recovered.
After scooping a spoonful of fragrant dragon soup with a wooden spoon and putting it into her mouth to taste for a while, Xu Yuan just chuckled and said:
"You are right, but you are also the one who is most likely to lose control, aren't you?"
As he said,
Xu Yuan pointed the wooden spoon in his hand at the girl and said with a smile:
"Your reputation is too great. I, a young man who rarely leaves the capital, have heard of the ambitions of you, the goddess of the desert. Tartar Chao has a complete internal circulation system. Once you are promoted, it will be difficult for the sect to control you from the outside.
"Puppets devouring their masters has happened more than once or twice in history."
Jia Yi gently placed the porcelain bowl in his hand on the low table and knelt down gracefully:
"The former king can go, and I can go too."
Xu Yuan raised his hand and stroked his chin for a moment, and said thoughtfully:
"So you want to leave the future of the Tartar Chao people to the mercy of the sect? After all, if you side with the sect, once the civil war in Da Yan begins, you "non-staff members" will inevitably be dragged to the most dangerous battlefield. "
Jia Yi smiled at the words, and said faintly:
"Is there a difference? If we choose you, won't the situation of Tatar Chao be the same?"
Don't talk nonsense, if you want to cooperate, then make conditions.
Understanding the meaning of the words, Xu Yuan said slowly and in a low voice:
"If I say now that I won't send your Tatar Chao soldiers to the front line where they will die, will you believe it?"
There is a difference between relatives and strangers. No matter which side the Tatar Chao people side with, they will inevitably be used as cannon fodder.
Jia Yi frowned slightly when he heard the words, took a deep breath, and directly spit out his own conditions:
"Three times."
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed, and he asked with a smile:
"Three chances to disobey?"
"Yes."
"Impossible. "
Before Xu Yuan opened his mouth, Li Junwu rejected him outright.
She glanced at the girl beside her who had been suffering with her for several months.
"On the battlefield, military orders are as strong as mountains and must be obeyed. A momentary delay may cause a chain reaction."
Jia Yi gritted his teeth slightly, feeling helpless, but stared at Xu Yuan without saying anything.
The decision-making power was not in the hands of Li Junwu, but in the hands of the man opposite.
Xu Yuan shrugged and whispered:
"I don't understand military affairs, so I listen to Junwu."
After that, he paused for a moment, raised his index finger, and said with a low smile:
"But I can promise you one thing."
Jia Yi looked straight ahead without saying anything.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of playing a supporting role, Xu Yuan shrugged and said boringly:
"I promise you can live."
"Tsk"
Jia Yi's laughter, as clear as a silver bell, was somewhat teasing: "If I die, do you have other puppets to support?"
"Indeed, there is no one. ”
Xu Yuan answered clearly and concisely, but his voice was calm and soft as he said:
"But please do not underestimate this condition. As I just said, there are many examples of puppets devouring their masters in history. It is difficult for the sect to control you from the outside, and it is the same for us."
"." Jia Yi's emerald green eyes changed.
Xu Yuan tapped the coffee table lightly with his fingertips, his eyes calm and deep:
"When a person dies, the lights go out. As long as a person is still alive, there are many things that can be done, right?"
Jia Yi pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled, with a strange light flashing in his rippling eyes:
"Are you hinting at me?"
Xu Yuan smiled without comment, and said in a clear voice:
"There are very few things in the world that have the best of both worlds. The sect has been planning and investing in the West Desert for decades, and we have almost no preparation. If we want to turn the tide, we naturally have to take some risks."
Jia Yi's slender fingers slid across the blue and white porcelain pattern on the wall of the cup in front of him, his eyes lowered for a while of thinking, and his red lips slightly curled up:
"You are quite courageous."
Xu Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly:
"It depends on your ability. For my Xiangguo Mansion, As for you, even if you are given a chance, you can only become the second Nalan Ting. "
Jia Yi raised his eyes to look at the man and said slowly:
"I seem to have misjudged you. You are not completely a dissolute man who only knows women."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately raised his eyebrows and said:
"Hey, if I give you some sunshine, you will be brilliant?"
The girl from the Western Regions was not moved at all. She seemed to be sure that the other party would not do anything extreme. She whispered:
"I was wrong? I saw everything last night."
Xu Yuan didn't want to pay attention to the other party, but the washboard saint was watching, and snorted:
"Last night? After discussing the pros and cons with you last night, I lay quietly on the bed to rest. How can I talk about being dissolute?"
"."
Hearing this, Jia Yi felt a little strange.
This was obviously just a topic that was mentioned briefly, why would this man refute it.
Glancing at the black-skirted girl beside her, and seeing the smile in her golden eyes, he instantly understood everything.
After a moment of silence, Jia Yi said calmly:
"Jun Wu was also on the bed last night."
"She was practicing."
"But why did you rub her thighs?"
"She asked me to massage her herself."
"There is an old saying in Dayan that men and women should not touch each other."
The girl from the Western Regions seemed to enjoy the feeling of dancing in this minefield, and smiled ambiguously:
"Even if you massage, you shouldn't massage the inside of a woman's thigh, right?"
"." Xu Yuan.
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan found that he seemed to be unable to explain clearly.
This matter will only get worse.
But it doesn't matter, Li Junwu will take action.
Although it is so ambiguous, it is actually a serious massage.
As long as the good-breasted brother fights back together, everything will be fine.
Thinking in his heart, Xu Yuan glanced at the good-breasted brother opposite, wanting her to help explain.
Then,
he saw this good-breasted brother holding his fragrant cheek, looking up at the blue sky outside the window at a 45-degree angle, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.
"."Xu Yuan.
It's bad, the good-breasted brother is also having fun.
Looking at the slightly embarrassed look of the man opposite, Jia Yi inexplicably felt a sour pleasure of revenge in her heart.
She liked the feeling that the bad guy hated her but couldn't get rid of her.
As her feelings flashed, she heard the man named Xu Changtian opposite whisper to the woman beside him:
"Can I ask you for a favor?"
Tian Ye was just leisurely watching the show, trying to judge the relationship between Xu Yuan and the two women. After hearing this, he smiled and said:
"Want me to bring Lin Lang closer to the mansion?"
Xu Yuan smiled slightly and whispered:
"If you don't want to, I have another candidate. Mr. Huang is still in Zhenxi Mansion."
Tian Ye tilted his head and thought for a while, and said with a teasing smile:
"Forget it, I'll go. If I continue to stay here, it will affect your cleaning up the goddess girl opposite~"
Hearing this, Xu Yuan glanced at the dignified and beautiful girl opposite, squinting and smiling Said:
"Don't talk nonsense, I just want her to recognize her identity and status."
"Hey~~"
Tian Ye stretched out his voice and said with a smile: "Then you have to hurry up. If Linlang enters the city, this goddess girl, as his body, is not as strong as you can be."
"Is that so? Thank you for reminding me. Remember to bring my coat."
After that, Xu Yuan stared at the eyes of the girl opposite and said with a smile:
"Goddess, you can give the token now."
"."
Jia Yi's heart beat slightly faster, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just stood up silently and took out a jade-green gem from his bag and handed it to the girl in the black dress.
Tian Ye took it and smiled at her, saying meaningfully:
"Little sister, I wish you good luck~ Xu Yuan has many ways to torment people."
After the words fell, Tian Ye disappeared instantly.
There were only three people and a dog left in the guest room again.
Everything returned to silence. Xu Yuan stood up from the low table slowly and looked down at the girl from the Western Regions sitting across from him.
Jia Yi bit her lips subconsciously, her eyes darting around the room.
Glancing at the woman beside her.
Li Junwu still looked up at the sky.
Glancing at the unicorn wolf incarnation.
As man’s best friend, the dog did react.
It raised its eyes and glanced at its owner, then looked at the strange man who gave it meat, hesitated for a moment, and then bury its head in eating after a "wooo".
"." Jia Yi.
Xu Yuan smiled slightly, walked forward, and asked slowly:
"Goddess, this young master is very curious, am I really as fond of women as you said?"
"." Jia Yi.
