"Xinyue, what do you think of him?"
Mu Hongxiu looked at the various scenes reflected in the thin smoke in front of her, with a playful smile on her lips.
Ge Xinyue still stood quietly beside her, until she was asked what she thought, then she raised her eyebrows and said softly: "The sword takes the wrong direction, and the heart is as careful as hair, but it's a pity that there is no pattern."
"Well, they are all small tricks. Although he can cope with the current difficulties, he is still a little short of the ability to control Yuan Jingtao." Mu Hongxiu nodded, waved his hand to disperse the smoke, and said calmly: "But If he can solve the problem of disaster relief funds, he can also be allowed to do some errands in the government."
Ge Xinyue knew Mu Hongxiu's temper well, and knew that being able to say this from her mouth meant that she still had some appreciation for Lu Li.
Otherwise, how could Lu Li's little tricks be hidden from her eyes
However, at this time, Ge Xinyue was hesitant to speak, and there was some hesitation on his face.
Mu Hongxiu glanced at her and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here."
"Your Highness, although this person is of some use, he comes from the Xuanjian Sect after all. Even with the princess as a guarantor, he will inevitably be criticized. I'm afraid he will be troublesome in the future." Ge Xinyue thought for a moment, and summarized the thoughts in his heart. Doubts were expressed.
"Trouble?" Mu Hongxiu pursed her lips, "Is there not enough trouble in Prince Yan's Mansion?"
"The nine palaces check and balance each other, and Prince Yan's palace is at the bottom. Isn't this situation the work of my good 'brothers'?"
"Installing a group of useless people who can only go around and put their hands on the position of the General Manager of Foreign Affairs. Do they really think I'm stupid? They can't figure out who Yuan Jingtao belongs to?"
Mu Hongxiu smiled disdainfully, her flaming long skirt swayed slightly, and she said softly: "Now that Prince Yan's palace is already riddled with holes, it is in a precarious state. One more trouble and one less trouble, so what's the big deal?"
"What's more, this little thing has some abilities. If it is used well, it may not become a good chess piece in my hand."
"That's what His Highness said." After hearing this, Ge Xinyue didn't say much and just asked in a low voice: "Where's King Yun?"
Mu Hongxiu waved her hand: "Just reply to that old immortal and tell him that I have accepted him. As for what he got from it and how much he took advantage of my good niece, I don't care about these things. . However, I want him to remember that no matter how weak Prince Yan’s Mansion is, it is not a place that an old ghost like him can trample on casually. Next time something like this happens again, I will crush his Prince Yun’s Mansion and slaughter all his Yunjiang Liumanmen. !”
boom!
A terrifying aura shook the room, and then quietly disappeared.
Ge Xinyue nodded and stepped back without making any sound.
After he left, Mu Hongxiu had a headache and squinted her eyes, wondering what she was thinking about.
…
the other side.
After a few words of conversation, Lu Li had already understood Qi Yun's words, and the two of them had a feeling of "hitting it off" and became brothers.
Just before arriving at the house of the Foreign Affairs Office, Qi Yun suddenly stopped and whispered to Lu Li: "Brother Lu, don't blame me for talking too much. Our General Manager Yuan has a bad temper. When you see him later, you should Just say what you say, and don’t mention anything you shouldn’t say, got it?”
Lu Li had probably guessed the character of General Manager Yuan from Qi Yun before. After hearing his reminder, he knew that he was afraid of being implicated, so he smiled and said: "Brother Qi, don't worry, the main reason I came to see General Manager Yuan this time is When reporting some things, you won’t say a single word that shouldn’t be said.”
"That's fine." Qi Yun nodded, and suddenly said with embarrassment: "Don't blame me for being cautious. Manager Yuan's character is well-known in the palace. Many guards without eyes have offended him before. That's terrible. They are all old people from Prince Yan's Mansion, but he beat them to death and became cripples, and even Manager Ge couldn't save them."
"So disrespectful?"
Lu Li raised his eyebrows.
He didn't expect that Manager Yuan would have such a feud with Manager Ge.
From the short contact, Lu Li knew that Ge Xinyue was a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, so Lu Li was not surprised that she came to protect her. What surprised him was that Ge Xinyue was a close relative of King Yan, and she was also the head of internal affairs, in charge of all matters in the palace. She had stepped in. Even if those guards really made some big mistakes, logically speaking, they would have to Give her some thin noodles and expel her from the house.
But Manager Yuan still beat the man to a disability, which meant that he had completely fallen out with Ge Xinyue.
"Who says otherwise? That's why General Manager Ge will not come to our Dongyuan easily because he and Manager Yuan don't deal with each other." Qi Yun sighed, but when he saw Lu Li just nodded and stopped talking, he felt shuddering and said to himself: " This guy is so tight-lipped, I couldn’t pry his mouth open for a long time.”
Along the way, he and Lu Li became brothers and revealed many secrets in the mansion for various reasons. In fact, he wanted to know what kind of errand Lu Li had received, which was worthy of alarming the two managers.
If he said that there was no instruction from King Yan behind this, he would not believe it even if he were beaten to death.
Therefore, he made many insinuations to get Lu Li to reveal some information, but Lu Li would avoid talking about it and laugh it off.
This made Qi Yun quite irritable.
Seeing that he was about to see Manager Yuan, Lu Li still refused to speak. Qi Yun suddenly became a little anxious: "Brother Lu, why don't you tell me what kind of errand did you get?"
"It's not that I'm curious, bro. It's just that there are very few things in our house that require the intervention of both managers. If something really happens, if you let the wind out, bro, I can make some preparations in advance, right?"
As if he was afraid that Lu Li would misunderstand, Qi Yun quickly explained again.
Lu Li looked at his expression and smiled to himself, "Can't you hold it in anymore?"
So, he took a deep look at Qi Yun and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, it's really not that I don't want to speak, but I really can't speak..."
As he spoke, Lu Li pointed to the sky calmly without saying anything.
But Qi Yun showed an expression of astonishment, his thoughts were changing, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "It turns out..."
"Why!"
Lu Li smiled and pulled him, and said softly: "I didn't say anything. Brother Qi, don't think too much."
Qi Yun immediately woke up with a start, his expression was indescribably ugly, and he said fearfully: "Lu... Brother Lu, I will take you here. If you go any further, I don't dare to interfere."
As he said that, he glanced at Lu Li gratefully, then repeatedly handed over his hands and left with his feet like the wind.
Watching his leaving figure, the smile on Lu Li's face slowly faded, and he curled his lips and said, "This trick is really easy to use. Just point to the sky and you don't have to say anything."
As for what level Qi Yun had in mind, Lu Li didn't care.
After tugging at the sleeves of his robe a little, Lu Li looked up at the words "Foreign Affairs Office" and stepped in.
