The owner of the manor Xia said in surprise: "Huh? Brother Ping is not with you? How can you be sure that he must be a guest here?" Asked this sentence, his smile on his face made him even more cunning.

Ping Ruoyu said lightly: "Uncle Xia has regarded brotherly feelings so indifferently, and even imprisoned Uncle Liu who has conspired with you until now. My father has always been a thorn in your side, and the thorn in your flesh is naturally the first object to be removed. In addition, we have lived too peacefully during this period. As descendants of the four major families, we were not qualified to enjoy this peace. Therefore, I know that the strong winds and waves must come after it. As expected... Let me tell you, how can you let my father go?"

The owner of the Xia Manor was stunned for a moment and said, "It is very happy to talk to a smart person. If you say something, he can understand the next sentence by himself. But if you say something, he can further guess what you are thinking, which is very unhappy. I wonder which kind of smart person Yuer is?"

Ping Ruoyu said, "I am not a smart person, I am just a fool who falls into your hands and is at mercy." She usually doesn't have a deep relationship with Master Xia, and she doesn't know much about his temperament. She just acts on the experience she has temporarily touched, and she is not sure about success or failure, but she is not sure about herself.

Master Xia smiled and said, "Yu'er, you can't say that. Uncle's plan is completely unscrupulous. It's enough for you to fall into my hands. Just because the Seven Evil Saint Lord is a demon of the Demon Cult after all. How can I join him as a member of the four major families? It's just pretending to surrender to him and waiting for an opportunity to overthrow him. The armor is not yet ready. Are you willing to join my team and work with me to uphold justice?"

Ping Ruoyu sneered: "Our four major families may not be so noble... 'uphold justice', haha, you don't want to be with the Seven Evil Saints, but you want to imitate the hypocrites on the right path?"

The owner of the Xia Manor was furious and said, "Yu'er, don't toast and not eat and punish the wine. I thought that I wouldn't dare to do anything to you because of our relationship." Ping Ruoyu smiled and said, "How dare my niece have such extravagant hope? Besides, do I have any choice? You can 'destroy your relatives for your own benefit, and ignore the lives of sworn brothers, but how can you care about the lives of sworn brothers?"

The owner of the Xia Manor smiled and said, "It's good that you know." Seeing that Ping Ruoyu was pondering, he suddenly "swish", pulled out a sharp steel knife, crossed it in front of Ping Ruoyu, swayed gently, and said, "If you don't agree, I will kill you, and you can't let you join the enemy camp, and you will ruin my business again."

On the other hand, the confrontation in Yinxue Palace is taking place simultaneously. Shen Shiyun and Tang Yuancheng are in a stalemate, and sparks are surging in the air. Li Yijie and Nangong Xue are stuck in it, and it is difficult for both sides to persuade.

After a while, Shen Shiyun said coldly: "Master Tang, you know that I have always trusted you very much. Even if you can't teach my son Xuanshuang well... Under your guidance of courtesy, righteousness and shamelessness, he can still shamelessly join the Demon Cult Rebellion Party. I have never blamed you. Now you really want to be hostile to me and refuse to turn back?"

Tang Yuancheng smiled faintly and said, "Your son disregards etiquette, righteousness, and shame, so he will blame me, but he doesn't say it's his son who follows his mother? It's like your hen gave birth to a duck breed. You don't study the breed of poultry, but you will blame the aunt in the market and sell you a chicken that can lay eggs? Concubine Yun, if you do evil, you will die. I advise you to stop as soon as possible, completely dispel the idea of ​​rebellion, dissolve the alliance, and wipe out the traces left behind. Only in this way, even if someone secretly reports the news, the emperor sends someone to search Yinxue Palace and find no evidence. He has feelings for you in his heart, and would rather believe your innocence. This matter may be good. If you really want to silence it, it will never be destroyed. There are rumors in the places where there are people. If you don't know, don't do it unless you do it."

Shen Shiyun said: "Just! I have already reached this point. You actually want me to invalidate all the layout?" Tang Yuancheng said: "Yes. If the direction of the first step is wrong, no matter how hard you try, the result will be completely different, and there is no need to continue."

Shen Shiyun laughed instead of anger and said, "How can Master Tang decide that my path must be wrong? Maybe it's your fault from the beginning, but you? "Someone" secretly reported the message. Look, it's so obscure. I'm afraid that even if that person is not you, he is also your subordinate? You are just a small civil servant. Now that the prince of Xuanshuang is deposed, you are no longer the prince's master. Just the most ordinary teacher. Who has given you the power? What qualifications do you have to speak to me like this?"

Tang Yuancheng said lightly: "I am loyal to the emperor and to the people of the world. This is my greatest capital. Whether it is the high or low position, no matter how high or low the official position, even the beggars in the market have the right to speak out for advice. Even if the empress wants to execute me on the spot, I still have something to say. If you can be promoted from a civilian to a noble concubine, you will naturally rely on the emperor's favor for you. Now you can win over many allies, not because you are like-minded.

, It’s not how you have prestige, but because they feel profitable in you. If they can think deeply about your husband, you will understand your style of destroying bridges across the river. I’m afraid no one will dare to cooperate with you again. Friendship in distress is the most precious, and friendship in interests is the coldest. Now you want to make yourself unrecognizable for the flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. Don’t you think it is a very sad thing?”

Shen Shiyun told him the secret, and felt annoyed, and shouted, "Stop it! I don't need you to preach to me yet! Come on!" With a move of his hand, the guards who were following him immediately rushed up and spread out into a circle at the table, surrounding the soup, quietly drinking tea, and aimed a sword and gun at him at the same time.

Li Yijie advised: "Yun'er, no..." He simply tried to persuade Tang Yuancheng again and whispered: "Yun'er, I admit that what you said is true, but Yun'er is angry. She is the master, don't go head-on with her..."

In fact, there is no need to lower the voice, because he was standing next to Shen Shiyun, and it was still a distance from Tang Long Ran. If this voice was to be made, he would have to listen to her first. Sure enough, Shen Shiyun said coldly: "Don't you have to meddle with other people's business. If I don't teach this nerd a lesson, he wouldn't know that the sky is high."

Tang Yuancheng said without hesitation: "Thank you Brother Li for your concern, I can handle it." He picked up the teacup, sipped it silently, and waited until the flavor and charm of this sip of tea were completely integrated into his limbs. He raised his head and glanced at Shen Shiyun, and said indifferently: "Oh, Concubine Yun, why, what, come true? Do you think I am the nerd who was powerless to tie a chicken back then? But it is really more than losing the book bag. Your previous sentence is a big problem. How high the sky is and how thick the ground is, it is still an unsolved mystery. No matter how many books you read and how many scattered lessons you have learned, it is impossible to solve. Confucius said that it is to know it, but it is not known. In his mind, there is no need for Concubine Yun to dig it out again."

Shen Shiyun sneered, "Who is chewing words with you? No matter how high your official position is, you will be a weak nerd who falls into my hands. Why, can't you hold a military talisman in your hand? It's too late. As long as I give orders, all the guns will be used together, and you can immediately turn you into a hornet's nest. When your personal soldiers arrive, they will only be left to collect your corpse."

Tang Yuancheng said: "I am very sorry. I don't have military talismans and are not good at marching and fighting. But my students are now in my mansion, waiting to listen to my lectures. If I don't return within an hour, my subordinates who stay in the mansion will naturally take some corresponding measures..."

Seeing Shen Shiyun sneering and was about to speak, she interrupted her with a gesture and said, "Concubine Yun, I know that you don't care about your son at all. If you want to threaten you with his life, it's nonsense from beginning to end. Unfortunately, I'm not that stupid. Have you heard of the principle of the same destination? You don't care about him, but your value of use. I know that he is still useful to you. You are an important excuse and shield for your rebellion. Without him, your plan would never be implemented smoothly. Therefore, no matter what, you cannot allow him to have any accidents before the event is completed. I am using your fear of gains and losses to bet on this game with you. He is my ready-made military talisman, and I will definitely win."

Shen Shiyun was a little stunned at first, then her expression returned to normal, and she smiled and said, "Mr. Tang has always been the best conscience. Even an ant is reluctant to step on it. I don't believe that you will attack the students you have cultivated since childhood. What's more, you boast about how loyal you are to the emperor. Is it true that killing his precious son is loyal? From now on, he will never value you again. Therefore, you dare not take this step. This bargaining chip is indeed precious, but for you, it is the same as nothing."

Tang Yuancheng said: "You underestimate me too much, or you imagine me too noble. People will change with the environment, just like when I was killed and didn't believe it, you Concubine Yun actually attacked me. Now? It's not that you are real swords and guns, and the soldiers are at the city, ready to use me as a living target at any time? What's more, today's Xuanshuang is not the same as Ling Beile in the past. Now he is Ling Shuangjin, the deputy leader of the Demon Sect, and an evil heretic whom everyone despises. I kill him at this time, no matter whether it is to avenge personal revenge, in the eyes of others, by myself, as his teacher, I will definitely do it to eliminate harm for the people and destroy relatives for the sake of justice. The emperor will not only not blame me, but also to cater to public opinion in the world, but it will inevitably be a great reward. If you don't believe it, let's bet on a bet."

Appreciating Shen Shiyun's face turned pale, he smiled, blew away the tea that had accumulated in front of him, and said, "Look, the mechanism is done, no matter how tightly the power is accumulated, it is just a vain in the air. If you blow a breath, you will disperse."

Li Yijie and Nangong Xue didn't believe that he would really attack Xuan Shuang, but when he thought that his life was in Shen Shiyun's hands, he couldn't help but sweat for him secretly. Shen Shiyun's face turned pale and said, "Then may I ask Mr. Tang, a few days ago, you heard my conspiracy with your own ears and showed up to teach me a lesson on the spot. Unfortunately, I didn't take your advice to heart, but instead spoke rudely. I wonder if you like to seek credit so much, have you ever said those words to Master Long Live?"

Tang Yuancheng said: "I am not fond of seeking credit, but rather being kind to the Empress. As for those words, you can rest assured that it is something I shouldn't know. Since I have heard it accidentally, let it end here and never talk too much to the emperor again."

Shen Shiyun thought that Tang Yuancheng didn't like to lie, and that he could miss the opportunity to make meritorious service, and he would be silent in front of others and feel at ease. Moreover, he only had to spend these few days and no longer had to worry and be afraid. He smiled slightly and said, "As the saying goes, 'rumors stop at wise men', it is true. He is worthy of being Master Tang, even if he eavesdrops on others' secret discussions, he can say so noble." As he said that, he gently pushed a long spear around him, moved his lotus steps, and slowly stood in front of Tang Yuancheng.
