Chapter 1058
Yue Yang has never been to the City Lord's Mansion in Silver Maple City to report.
For three days, he stayed in Yinfeng City.
No one knew what he had done in these three days, butler Du Li also sent Yue Yang back to Star Diamond Castle. Until such a high-ranking and powerful person actually greeted a young rookie lord grandly, respecting the virtuous corporal, this shows his desire to win over the people around him.
Not only to Yueyang.
It is also the greatest win over the people around him.
"Young man, as soon as I saw you, I liked you from the bottom of my heart. You are as good as your mother, but it's a pity that she pursues a higher realm and has no intention of staying in the valley to fight, otherwise, a new queen will be like a beautiful star Rise up like that. I like you more than my son, those useless guys, let alone talk about it, but you, the young and excellent lord, can make me fall in love with you... Come on, young man, I have already Order someone to prepare the banquet, haha, I have to use the most solemn welcome ceremony to welcome the new lord of Silver Maple City, the new nobleman. Please sit down, dear young man, please sit beside me, that’s right, you I have this qualification! For outstanding young people, I am always willing to spare no effort to help them, and I like young people more than anything else!" City Lord Yinfeng looked like a kind elder, with white hair and a childlike face, motioning Yue Yang to sit beside him , to show favor.
"Although it's your wish, the etiquette of nobles tells me that I should sit in a seat that suits me." Yue Yang hurriedly thanked him. Under the eyes of murderous jealousy, he couldn't really sit in the seat of Yinfeng City Lord. side to go.
One, it was just a test by City Lord Yinfeng, to see if the young man was arrogant or not.
Two, sitting next to City Lord Yinfeng is not only not beneficial, but it will offend his favorite minister.
Instead of being the target of public criticism.
It is better to refuse this superficial favor.
City Lord Yinfeng, does he really like Siniang's sister that much?
Student Yue Yang thinks this is not necessarily the case. Judging from the various information collected before, City Lord Yinfeng is very likely to 'hate' the original owner of Star Diamond Castle, who is Yue Yang's nominal mother and Si Niang's sister, who is too mysterious What a mysterious woman!
At least not too much to see!
No one wants such an outstanding person to build a star diamond castle with complete free will on his own territory.
No one wants the two nearby towns under their own jurisdiction to be owned by others.
People who have no desire for power can't do it.
What's more, a superior person like City Lord Yinfeng who loves power and holds real power is focused on expansion?
They are friendly on the surface, but not necessarily so in private. If City Lord Yinfeng is really that good, sea monsters appear in Baisha Town, and thieves appear in Heiyan Town, why don't you see him make any moves?
Therefore, no matter whether it is a smiling face, or how dark his heart is, Yue Yang will not easily trust a person, especially if this person is a prince who holds the power of life and death. Yue Yang has heard a saying: No businessman is generous, no politician is clean, and no ruler is kind... To believe in the good intentions of the superior is undoubtedly to seek skin from a tiger.
Of course, it's not okay to turn your face directly.
This is the valley of people.
You can't solve problems by force, you have to use 'wisdom' to solve them at any time.
At the banquet, the host and the guest chatted happily and drank endlessly. On the surface, it seemed that there was harmony.
When the banquet was about to end, suddenly, a middle-aged man who was sitting in the third seat on the left side of City Lord Yinfeng stood up. This person has fair skin, sharp eyes, and thin lips like a blade. One can tell that he is a shrewd think tank.
Previously, the Lord of Yinfeng City had introduced him to Yue Yang a little bit, saying that he was one of the political officials of Yinfeng City, named 'Fan'. The political officer toasted a glass of wine to Yue Yang with a smile on his face just now, as if he was quite friendly, but he did not expect to make an unexpected surprise attack when the banquet was over. He first saluted the Lord of Yinfeng City, and then raised his glass to Yue Yang as an invitation to drink: "Just now, as one of the deliberative officials, I would like to express my greatest respect and welcome to the new owner of Star Diamond Castle. We sincerely hope that There are more noble new blood joining us, such as an excellent lord like the master of Star Diamond Castle, who is our dream ally. In fact, I expressed the same kindness as early as the master of the previous generation of Star Diamond Castle. It is not the owner of the Star Diamond Castle of the previous generation who is eager to leave in order to seek a higher realm, I am afraid that the relationship between us will become closer."
When Yue Yang heard it, he felt something was wrong.
Here, people who dare to speak to themselves like this are enemies and not friends. No matter how well they pretend on the surface, they can't hide the greedy heart that wants to swallow their own bones.
Could it be that Fan, the red councillor, is Si Niang's sister's enemy?
To be able to endure until the banquet is over before making a counterattack, this guy's forbearance skills are not bad!
"I don't know Mr. Political Officer, how can you support me, a junior newcomer?" Yue Yang has never been afraid of challenges, whether it is a confrontation of force or wisdom.
"As your close neighbor, coupled with the loyal friendship we have had for generations, I heard that the baron of the Star Diamond Castle has been a little troubled recently. He just returned from his study tour and took over the Star Diamond Castle. He encountered sea monsters and thieves. It is indeed a bit annoying. What's more, the baron still needs to learn the trial, and he has not officially taken over the power of the lord. During the study period of at least three months, it is obviously not good if he ignores the affairs of his subordinates. If the Star Diamond Castle The owner, Mr. Baron, recognizes me as a close neighbor and friend, and is willing to accept the help of the hand of friendship. This meeting is willing to send manpower for free to get rid of sea monsters and thieves, and also to ensure the peace of our jurisdiction." The red councilor 'Fan' Just like a living Lei Feng.
"Thank you, this is really good news." Yue Yang responded lightly, without getting angry, or even denying it.
"Although they are close neighbors, but the territory belongs to them, if Fan Yishi sends people to enter the area under the jurisdiction of Star Diamond Castle, it seems a bit illegal." Immediately, some people stood up and protested against this bad behavior of sending troops into other people's jurisdictions.
In a word, it's not that this person is not used to Fan Yishi's bullying and bullying of newcomers like Yue Yang.
Instead, he worried that once the rules were broken, his weaker self would also be implicated.
So firmly against it.
Several political officials stood up one after another, speaking for their own interests.
Some people are in favor of it, while others are strongly against it. Both sides bombard their opponents with their own opinions, trying to protect their own interests to the greatest extent.
Yue Yang looked at these people coldly, without saying a word, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. City Lord Yinfeng saw it in his eyes, and a strange color flashed in the dark. For a newcomer like Yue Yang, there were too many abnormal things about him.
For example, it is extremely rare for a young man who is proud and arrogant not to be surprised.
Another example is not to be afraid in the face of danger, calm and composed.
Yue Yang's excellent Qi-nourishing skill was completely beyond Yinfeng City's expectations. He originally thought that Yue Yang would be furious when he heard Fan Yishi's words, at least his face would change color and become angry. A young man has no reason to be patient. However, what is surprising is that this young man turned a deaf ear to other people's provocations as if nothing had happened, and his attitude was also vague, neither affirming nor categorically rejecting.
What does this kid mean?
Did he see through the scheming in this matter?
Another person stood up and greeted the Lord of Yinfeng City. This person was the black-bearded old man who was seated first on the right under the City Lord's seat. For thousands of years, we have never tried internal struggles. It is precisely because we have never wasted energy on internal conflicts that we are able to stand firm and continue to develop in the face of many powerful enemies today. First of all, we thank Fan Yishi for his enthusiasm , It is because of this kind of righteous heart for our friends that we can go all the way to today. However, the predecessors stipulated thousands of years ago that we should not change too much what has been agreed upon, so as not to take the wrong path. There is no exception. We must praise Fan Yishi for his enthusiasm, and we will also help the owner of Star City Castle and the baron under the jurisdiction of the temporary difficulties. I hope everyone will take the initiative to extend a hand of friendship. When we help friends, we are actually Help ourselves, the more friends we have, the more united our friends are, the stronger our city-state will be. Here I have an immature suggestion. Maybe, we can each contribute our strength and temporarily gather in Under the command of the city lord, helping the master of Star Diamond Castle for free to solve this small problem can be regarded as a small encouragement to the master of Star Diamond Castle before taking over the power of the lord after studying."
"Agreed, it would be great to have the city lord take the lead." When someone heard that this method is good, they immediately agreed.
"It must be the city lord." Everyone echoed.
"I also agree." Fan Yishi was the only one left, his face was gloomy, but he couldn't compete with the crowd, so he could only smile with feigned joy and nodded in agreement.
"Then who is the candidate for the team leader? If Fan Yishi is still in charge, then I firmly disagree." Someone noticed this problem and quickly vetoed Fan Yishi to prevent this greedy guy from taking advantage of it.
"Hmph." Fan Yishi sneered, his plan would not succeed, so he would naturally stop begging for an official.
"Why don't I propose a candidate?" The bald old man sitting first on the left side of Yinfeng City Lord suddenly waved his hand solemnly: "Why should you worry, there is actually the best candidate. Originally, I wanted to invite him to replace the old man. Escort the treasures to the 'Heavenly Capital', but if the owner of Star Diamond Castle is more urgent, you might as well let him lead the army first."
"Who is it? Who are you talking about?" Everyone present was a little curious after hearing this.
"Then who else is it? Of course it's Zhonghua, the tenth son of the city lord who just returned from his study tour." The bald old man laughed loudly.
"..." Yue Yang finally understood the ins and outs of the whole thing when he heard it, it turned out to be like this! Fortunately, it wasn't Kaitian Mozun or Ji Wuri who appeared in Yinfeng City, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome.
