Du Yi was not expressionless when he spoke. If an uninformed person saw this situation, he would think they were good friends for many years!

As the saying goes, if you don’t hit someone with a smile, you will respect me one foot, and I will respect others one foot.

Seeing that Du Yi could do this, Ma Chao was not good at acting too cold, "Brother Zhongming, don't be polite, this is a common sight!"

Ma Chao also climbs along the way. If you act, I will act too. Anyway, everyone will perform on the same stage.

"That's right, it's not for brother!" Du Yi also invited Ma Chao and the others into the mansion while saying that.

When we arrived at the living room, everyone divided the guests and hosts to sit down. In fact, Ma Chao and the others had only four people. But although there were not many people, they did not seem very deserted.

The servant brought food and drinks. After pouring a glass of wine, Du Yi said to Ma Chao: "I offend you so much today. I hope Meng Qi will be more responsible!"

Ma Chao is a man who is soft and not hard. When he saw Du Yi saying this, he had to express himself. "Where is Brother Zhongming saying anything? I admire Brother Shuming's magical skills. It's too late to get close to him!"

"So great! So good! Meng Qi, you and I drink this cup as a full drink. No matter what happened before, no one is allowed to mention the past from now on!" Du Yi said to Ma Chao again.

"Everything is listened to Brother Zhongming!" Ma Chao also drank a glass.

"Shuming, what do you say?" Du Yi said to Du Li again.

Du Li said nothing about Du Yi's previous words. His second brother said so, and he really couldn't care about anything anymore. "Okay! Everything is up to my second brother!"

Although he said this, Du Li was still a little reluctant to speak. Seeing this, Du Yi frowned slightly, "Shuming, what do you want?"

"I, my second brother, I, alas!" Du Li couldn't say anything at this moment.

After a while, Du Li said, "Second brother, I don't care about my personal affairs. But no matter what, Du Qiang is a member of my Du family. Now he has been killed by an outsider. Where can we put our Du family's face?"

In fact, Du Li's words make some sense. Although the Du family is not a family, they are definitely a well-known family in Lelang. Now the manager of the family has been killed, and he really loses his face when he says it.

"Don't mention this matter again! Shuming, Meng Qi, you are all here tonight, and I mean that everyone will talk about it here, so don't have any misunderstandings in the future! Du Qiang ended up like this and he was entirely responsible for his own fault. He can't blame others for anything. Even if he doesn't die at the hands of Meng Qi today, I will clear the door for the Du family.

As for the question of whether it is not respectable, since the Du Qiang came out of my Du family, I think there is not much face anymore. No one cares about the face of our Du family. Now what are you talking about about being shameless? Du Qiang died well and deserves to die!"

After Du Yi said something, Du Li stopped saying anything. Du Yi was right, making him unable to refute it. He himself was not a person who did not speak any truth. As for Ma Chao, he secretly admired Du Yi in his heart. Du Yi was definitely not an idiot, he was a talent. He said he didn't want to care about anything, but he would definitely stand up at critical moments, just like tonight.

Now that Du Ren, the boss of the Du family, has not been at home, Du Yi is naturally in charge of the entire Du family. I believe that with Du Yi, it is no problem to prosper the entire family.

As for the third son of the Du family, Du Li, this person is actually good. It seems that he listens to his two brothers very much. More importantly, Du Li is also a talented person. Ma Chao is now lacking talent.

He also thought about how great it would be if Du Li could be under his command, but this could only be thought about.

Du Yi’s current behavior is indeed beyond Ma Chao’s expectations.

If it were Du Yi in the past, he might have killed Ma Chao and the others, but now he is much calmer than before. It is quite simple to kill Ma Chao and the others, but Du Yi knows it is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Others may not know very well, but he himself knows it very well. Ma Chao's kung fu is at most. When he is really fighting for life and death, he will no longer be his opponent.

As for Cui An, who was not even his elder brother at that time, if he really wanted to kill them, if he failed or let them escape, it would definitely be a disaster for the Du family in the future.

So after careful consideration, Du Yi decided that he could only reconcile with Ma Chao and others, not to make enemies. Moreover, he was optimistic about Ma Chao's future. He firmly believed that Ma Chao would never be an ordinary person in the future and would definitely achieve something. So killing Du Qiang can get the opportunity to reconcile with Ma Chao. No matter how you look at this deal, you only make money and not lose money.

How could the Du family's temporary face be compared with the rise and fall of the Du family? Besides, Du Qiang deserves to die, but just dies at the hands of outsiders. Du Yi even lamented that Du Qiang died well, and he definitely made his final contribution to the Du family.

Du Yihe has indeed improved a lot now than before, which is a blessing in disguise.

After everyone finished eating, Du Yi asked his servants to lead Ma Chao and the others to the room prepared for them, while he left Du Li alone.

"Second brother, do you have something to say to me?" Du Li asked. He felt that his second brother wanted to stay, so he naturally had something to say to him.

"Third brother, how old are you now?" Du Li was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that his second brother would ask such a question. Of course he knew his second brother was old, but since he asked, it was impossible for him not to answer.

"My brother is thirty-one years old this year."

"Yes, even third brother, you are already in your thirties!"

Du Yi sighed, and Du Li was confused. He didn't understand what happened to his second brother tonight.

"Third brother, my father is now seriously ill. Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid there is not much time left."

Du Yi said sadly, Du Li nodded, of course he knew all of this.

"Second brother, just say anything!"

"Okay, then I'll just say it!"

"Tell me, second brother! What else can we brothers say?"

"After a hundred years my father, of course, the eldest brother will inherit the position of the head of the family, and we all have the responsibility to assist him!"

"What my second brother said is very much!" Du Li said hurriedly.

"With my elder brother's ability, I can handle all matters more than enough, and because of my previous bet, I can only stay at home, so I naturally help my elder brother manage family affairs."

"Yes, with my second brother, everything in the family is naturally no problem!"

Du Li knew his second brother's ability, and the combination of Du Ren and Du Yi was definitely a golden combination.

"But, third brother, although the eldest brother is more than enough to handle family affairs with me, it can be said that there is no problem inside. But is this outside..."

After hearing this, Du Li quickly said, "Second brother, but it's okay!"

"That's right, third brother, you know that since my father was seriously ill, no one has been an official at home, and the eldest brother and I can only stay at home. There are no future problems inside, but this is outside..."

"I listen to my second brother. I will join the Youzhou Army now. I believe that with my ability, I will be able to achieve something in the army in less than three or five years!" Du Li said firmly.

That's true. With Du Li's ability, he can definitely make achievements in the army.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Du Li's words, Du Yi shook his head and Du Li looked at it: "What do you mean by the second brother? Is what I said wrong?"

"It's not my third brother's mistake. My third brother's idea is correct, but now there is a better way. I wonder if my third brother is willing to leave?"

"It's time for the second brother to say everything you have!" Du Li was a little anxious.

"Stern brother, don't worry, the better way the second brother said is Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi!"

"He? What does he have to do with my Du family?" Du Li asked in confusion.

Du Yi smiled, "It doesn't matter now, but what if you worship him as your lord, third brother? Isn't this related?"

"This, this, my second brother is serious?" Du Li was very surprised. His second brother actually made him worship that teenager as his lord. He even doubted whether he had heard it wrong.

"Of course, I dare to ask my third brother, how about you, how are you better than Ma Meng?" Du Yi asked Du Li.

"This, this little guy is not as good as this person except for his age and archery skills!" It is said that Du Li is indeed self-aware and can face him face him.

Du Yi smiled, "When Ma Mengqi's age, can that third brother compare with this person?"

After hearing this, Du Li thought to himself, Second Brother, aren’t you kidding me for my brother? I can’t compare to others now, let alone when I was a teenager. Although he thought so, he didn’t dare to say it out.

"I'm even worse!"

Du Li said it simply. Du Yi nodded in admiration. The biggest advantage of his third brother is definitely not that archery skills. In fact, he can face his shortcomings and will not be proud and complacent if he has achieved his achievements. He will feel at ease with him.

"What my third brother said is right. In fact, it is not just my third brother. I have been traveling around the world for nearly twenty years. I can be said to have seen countless people, but no one can compete with Ma Mengqi at such an age!"

After hearing this, Du Li was surprised. Who is his second brother? He has the number one Youzhou sword in the world. He has been experiencing the world for nearly twenty years. It can be said that he has seen countless people, and there must be many children of aristocratic families. It was the first time in his life that Du Li heard that his second brother had such a high evaluation of a person. He didn't think that his second brother was lying to him. It seems that Ma Chao is indeed outstanding, otherwise his second brother would not have praised him so much.

"Third brother, I know you also know Ma Mengqi's ability, it's just that it's hard to convince myself, but now the family..."

"Second brother, let me think carefully!" Du Li interrupted Du Yi's words. He also knew that Ma Chao was extraordinary, but he really couldn't get over the threshold in his heart.

Du Yi didn't force him. He knew that such a thing could only rely on Du Li himself. Others had no good idea. Otherwise, even if Du Li worshipped Ma Chao as his lord and was so unwilling to do so, it would be better to join the Youzhou army.

After a while, Du Li had thought about it, and he said to Du Yi: "Second brother, please listen to you! As a member of the Du family, you must consider the family!"

Du Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, "Third brother, it's great that you can think so!"

"But, second brother, I have a condition! Whether Ma Mengqi is worthy of me to apply for it depends on whether he can meet the conditions I mentioned!"

Oh? It seems that my third brother is so thick and thin, and he can still think of this trick.

"Then the third brother, let's talk!"

So Du Li talked about his thoughts to Du Yi. Du Yi nodded after hearing this. It seemed that his third brothers were sometimes quite idea-making, and this way, he would feel more at ease with him.

"Okay, I think it's as my third brother said. When I see Ma Mengqi tomorrow, I will tell him what I truthfully said. I believe he will agree with these!" Du Yi said after hearing Du Li's words.

"In this way, I will take my leave!" Du Li turned around and returned to his house, while Du Yi was still thinking about how to tell Ma Chao about this tomorrow.

The next morning, after breakfast, Du Yi left Ma Chao and waited for everyone to leave. Ma Chao asked Du Yi: "I wonder what Brother Zhongming left me?"

Du Yi said, "Since you call me Brother Zhongming, then I will call you Brother Meng Qi!"

Since making a decision last night, Du Yi has started to get involved with Ma Chao today.

"It's all my wish!" Ma Chao said with a smile.

"I wonder what Brother Meng Qi's ambition is?" Du Yi changed his tone and asked Ma Chao.

Ma Chao said intimately, here he came, "Chois wants to imitate Wei, Huo, expel the Tartars, and strengthen my great power!"

He can't tell the truth, saying that I want to be the emperor, and then, with the current situation, there are few people in the world who can listen to what Ma Chao said seriously. He probably will be harmonious the next day after he finished speaking on the first day.

Du Yi nodded after hearing this, which showed that he was still very satisfied with Ma Chao's ambition.

"My brother Meng Qi has good ambitions, but it is hard to make a forest alone!"

When Ma Chao heard this, what does Du Yi mean? Could it be...

"Brother Zhongming said so much, and I mean that's the same!" After saying that, Ma Chao sighed.

"Brother Meng Qi, why don't we make a bet?" Du Yi continued.

Ma Chao thought, this Du Yi is interesting, he likes to bets, but he lost last time, and what new ideas do he have this time?

"Brother Zhongming, please speak in person!"

So Du Yi said what Du Li said to him last night. In fact, it was simple to say, just to make a five-year agreement.

From now on, within five years, if Ma Chao can become famous all over the world and have an official position, then Du Li of the Du family will be appointed Ma Chao as his lord. If Ma Chao cannot do this, he will marry into the Du family and of course he will marry the most beautiful lady of the Du family.

When Ma Chao heard this, it was really interesting. It seemed that he could not get rid of the Du family no matter what. Of course, he had the confidence to win, and Du Li was the talent he wanted to win, so he agreed without thinking.

After Ma Chao made his statement, he and Du Yi looked at each other and laughed. Both sides knew it well. To put it nicely, this is called a win-win situation. To put it badly, it is actually just using each other and taking what they need.
