Text Chapter 1794: Keeping a Low Profile
The most important thing is that Xu Tangran always feels that Yan Xiu is staring at him secretly from behind, as if he is about to attack him at any time. He believes that if there is any abnormality in his behavior, Yan Xiu will definitely take action, which is very surprising to Miao Yi. It feels uncomfortable to have to pay careful attention to your words and deeds in front of you.
Of course, Xu Tangran can also understand that as a close bodyguard of Lord Dutong, he still needs to be vigilant.
The three of them went up to the viewing platform and looked around. In the square in front of the main hall, a group of women were having fun making snowmen. Feihong, Lin Pingping, and Xue Linglong were all there, as well as a few maids, who seemed to be having a lot of fun. happy.
Yun Zhiqiu was not there, so Yun Zhiqiu went to Yue Xing Palace to give gifts as usual. I wonder if I can see Li Hua, the master of Yue Xing Palace this time.
Seeing Xue Linglong also there, Miao Yi smiled and said, "Aren't you home?"
Xu Tangran knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "There's no rush, official business is important, I'll pay my respects to you first. I already said hello to Linglong when I passed by just now."
Miao Yi leaned on the railing and stretched out his hand, letting the little snowflakes fall into his palm and turn into crystal water drops.
Ten thousand years have also left traces on his body, and his appearance has become more mature. Both his eyes and temperament have obviously changed from those ten thousand years ago.
Today's cultivation has reached the fifth level of Cailian, and the refining and absorption rate of Xianyuan Dan has reached 4,100 pills per day. However, the time required to break through to the sixth level of Cailian requires a full 9,400 pills. Many years, currently it has taken more than 1,300 years, which means it will take more than 8,000 years to break through to the sixth level of Cailian.
It can be said that the Star Fire Technique is not a perfect technique. The deeper the cultivation level of other people's cultivation techniques, the faster the absorption speed. However, his step-by-step practice progress is not fast. It can be said that the difference is getting bigger and bigger, even to the current level. Qian'er and Xue'er absorbed it faster than him, let alone Yun Zhiqiu.
However, Xinghuo Jue also has its own advantages. It can be said that Xinghuo Jue is not a step-by-step practice method. It pays great attention to the inner harmony of yin and yang. The wider and farther the degree of coordination, the faster the absorption speed. It requires external favorable factors to catalyze it. .
Miao Yi also knew that continuing to practice like this was not an option. He needed abundant yin fire and yang fire to replenish it and quickly increase his practice progress again. However, ordinary yin and yang fire was not of much help to him anymore, because among them The yin and yang fire elements contained in it are not enough for him to absorb.
Xu Tangran was observing Miao Yi's expression. He didn't know what Miao Yi was thinking, so he didn't bother Miao Yi playing with snowflakes.
Gently shaking off the melted water droplets in his palm, Miao Yi put his hand behind his back and asked lightly: "How is that Mr. Yuan?"
Xu Tangran looked around and chuckled: "Not to mention, with his help, Juxiantang has developed very smoothly, and Yuan Gong's performance is as outstanding as ever. Of course, we all know his background, and the so-called outstanding performance is all due to him. The existing resources are being used, and the purpose is nothing more than to quickly improve for the next step of transformation. No, my subordinates have to ask for credit for him again. "
Miao Yi smiled and said: "This is a good thing. It can make us money, so it doesn't matter if he takes credit for it. The most important thing is to raise his level."
Over the years, Yuan Gong can be said to have been the fastest-promoted person in the Netherworld Capital Palace. He has reached the third level of Golden Lotus and been promoted to the commander-in-chief. However, he does not have any military power. He has been following Xu Tangran outside to play his due role. Miao Yi didn't dare to let him command the troops in the Netherworld Capital Palace.
Xu Tangran said with concern: "It's just that the people gathered in Juxian Hall are basically controlled by him secretly. Once he has evil intentions, will Juxian Hall collapse?" He must make this clear, in case Juxian Hall collapses If something happened, he didn't want to take the responsibility.
Miao Yi: "Just slowly strengthen your control. He plays with his, and you play with yours. As long as it can provide us with strong financial support and use it for our use, it doesn't matter if you have me and you have me." I'm afraid that we won't be able to intervene. As long as we can intervene, he will be in the open and we will be in the dark. He doesn't know our plans, but we know his plans. It's not certain who will collapse in the end. Don't worry too much, and don't rush to ask for help. If you try to show your flaws, take control bit by bit, from point to point, even if it collapses in the end, I don’t believe that you can’t hold a single person in your hands. I can rest assured that you can do things.”
Xu Tangran, who was observing the words and listening attentively, felt as if he had eaten honey when he heard the next sentence. He felt as if he had been running around all these years in vain. He suddenly smiled and said with cupped hands: "My lord has made a wise decision. With this The bottom line is that the subordinates will know what to do."
Miao Yi turned his head and looked at him, "Use the power of the Xiahou family to accumulate financial resources, recruit people, and set up many hidden stakes. I will also explain to the madam in the future. You can discuss the specific details with the madam."
Hearing the words "waiting for the future", Xu Tangran immediately became energetic. This shows that Mr. Dutong is not satisfied with his current position and will have to move up sooner or later. This means that sooner or later, he will have to move up even if he occupies the current favorable position. of. He was convinced of this. If Lord Dutong were to advance further, he would be ranked in the imperial court. With Lord Dutong's current strength far below that qualification, it would be impossible for him to make an exception and be promoted. Now he can only accumulate strength for the future. Today, as long as the preparations here are more complete, the resistance will be smaller in the future.
"My subordinates took note of it." Xu Tangran agreed.
Miao Yi added: "You often travel outside and are exposed to a lot of news from all aspects. Is there anything that has been said about me recently?"
Xu Tangran thought for a while, and with Miao Yi's previous words, he naturally knew whether he could say the next words, "My lord has been too low-key these years. I'd like to say something that you don't like to hear. Your reputation in the early years has been silenced. Now the rumors spread outside So-and-so has fallen, so-and-so has come to power again, so-and-so has fallen into the clouds, and so-and-so has soared upwards. It is almost impossible to hear anyone talking about the adults, and some of the newer juniors may not even know who the adults are. "
"Yes." Miao Yi nodded. That's right. If his current situation were to be the focus of attention again, he would be in big trouble.
At this moment, several figures flew into the palace from the direction of the palace gate. It was Yun Zhiqiu and others. After stopping in the square to exchange a few words with Feihong and others, they flew towards the inner palace.
Miao Yi and others who were standing on the observation deck saw this scene clearly.
"Madam is back." Xu Tangran laughed.
Not long after, Yang Zhaoqing, who accompanied Yun Zhiqiu on his trip, came quickly and went up to the balcony to salute. The "sir" then exchanged greetings with Xu Tangran, and Yan Xiu was relieved. People didn't like this, and Yang Zhaoqing had long been used to it.
Miao Yi asked: "Has Madam seen Li Hua?"
Yang Zhaoqing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "After accepting the gift, Li Hua still refuses to show up to see Madam."
Miao Yi was silent and stopped talking about the matter, and then asked: "How is the matter going with that woman who lingers?"
Xu Tangran's ears pricked up when he heard about Lian Lian Fang. This is a place similar to official brothels. It is distributed all over the country. Many female relatives of some criminals have been admitted to this kind of place. Many people have fallen down in recent years and have been punished in it. There are naturally a lot of people there. He doesn’t know what the adult means when he suddenly mentions this place, especially when he mentions a woman. What is her relationship with the adult?
Yang Zhaoqing said: "I have already sent some money to her, and I have also arranged for someone to clear things up, but I don't know if it will work out. After all, her man has been charged with a lot of crimes, and we can't give her guarantee, but that woman His mouth seems to be a bit sinister, he said some ungrateful words to his wife, and he talks nonsense to people in the public, and some of the random words he spread are a bit unpleasant. "
Miao Yi frowned, "What do you mean, madam?"
Yang Zhaoqing: "What Madam means is that after all, we have had a relationship before, so we don't care about this with her anymore. We are trying to find out how to find out about this matter and see how we can help her get out. After all, in the Ying family's territory, it may be a little difficult to organize." trouble."
Miao Yi looked into the distance, silently.
Xu Tangran asked Yang Zhaoqing in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Yang Zhaoqing also explained the situation softly. The general situation was that Yun Zhiqiu met a certain lady from the main town when he was doing business in Tianjie in his early years. She had frequent contacts with Yun Zhiqiu and took good care of Yun Zhiqiu's business. , now the woman's man is involved in the storm above, and the side that stood in line collapsed, and he was also implicated. The men of the whole family were beheaded, and the women were punished to wander around as prostitutes. Naturally, the woman could not escape. . Later, when the woman was picking up guests, she met an old acquaintance and begged Yun Zhiqiu for help. But now she couldn't find anyone to help her. After all, only Yun Zhiqiu could help her. After receiving the news, Yun Zhiqiu also felt that this matter was a bit troublesome. It involved the fight above. If he intervened to help without permission, he might get angry. It was not in line with the strategy of hiding one's strength and biding one's time. Naturally, he had to inquire carefully. It was easy to start, so he first sent some money to the woman in case of emergency, but did not give the woman a definite answer. As a result, the woman thought that her last hope was shattered, so she bit her randomly. What happened next was probably the same as what happened to Miao just now. What Yi said, in short, compiled a lot of unpleasant words for Yun Zhiqiu.
It turns out that this is the case. Xu Tangran nodded silently, understood, and sighed: "Your Majesty is too cruel. He wants to create a fifth king to divide the interests of the four kings. Naturally, the four kings will not do it. This is a counterattack. , although the matter was suppressed and the situation gradually calmed down, the four heavenly kings were very afraid of this kind of thing. Obviously they would rather kill the wrongdoer than let it go. I am afraid that the signs of cleaning up step by step will not stop for the time being. Similar to this Women’s affairs are not uncommon these days.”
Miao Yi slowly said: "Please handle this matter and shut her up completely."
With his current power, it would be easier to kill all these people than to crush an ant, which is just a matter of words.
Xu Tangran was stunned, and naturally understood what it meant to shut up completely, but he hesitated and said: "Madam?"
Miao Yi said calmly: "If Madam blames me, just say it was my fault."
"My subordinates will arrange it now." Xu Tangran agreed, sighing in his heart that there is such a stupid woman who dares to grab power after falling into this situation. She is really impatient. To be continued.
