"Then I'll feel relieved."
Lu Li chuckled lightly, and then said to Tan Long: "Live peacefully in the Hou family. Remember that you represent the face of Prince Yan's Palace. Don't embarrass Prince Yan's Palace with your words and deeds."
"Remember the teachings of adults."
Tan Long bowed his hands respectfully, and the tension in his heart dissipated a lot.
After saying that, Lu Li nodded and left the Hou family with Shi Yan.
After leaving the Hou family, Shi Yan couldn't help but ask: "Sir, why don't you let me stay in the Hou family? Tan Long is being cautious... maybe something will be revealed."
Shi Yan had already raised a question before when Lu Li made this decision.
However, Lu Li didn't answer at that time, and Tan Long felt that this was his chance to make a career, so he agreed on the spot, so Shi Yan didn't have the chance to ask Lu Li what he thought again.
Now, he finally couldn't hold it any longer.
Hearing his question, Lu Li turned around and looked at the high gate of the Hou family, and said with a smile: "This matter is very dangerous, and you may lose your life. Tan Long is still a bit stronger than you. He is afraid, but you are not afraid?"
"Tongxuan Realm... If you are stronger or weaker, you will not be able to influence the situation at all."
"This is why the adults chose us, isn't it?"
Although Shi Yan is usually dull, he is still a warrior from the Wuzong family. He is not unintelligent, but just unhappy.
In this situation, he only needed to think for a moment to think of Lu Li's profound meaning. It was precisely because he knew what Lu Li was going to do that he was even more puzzled.
Tan Long is a cautious person at best, and timid at worst. Although he doesn't know any secrets, there is no guarantee that the Hou family will not attack him and get some information from him. Although the relationship between the two was good, it was because they were too familiar with each other that Shi Yan believed that Tan Long was not suitable for this task.
What if Tan Long is frightened by the Hou family and everything goes wrong
This is a bit of a suspicion of saying bad things behind his back.
Fortunately, Shi Yan was an upright and dull person. Lu Li knew that he was unintentional and said with a smile: "Don't think too much. Even if you are in the Tongxuan realm and walked out of the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion, wearing a third-grade guard uniform, you It’s the face of Prince Yan’s Mansion. Moreover, the reason why I sent Tan Long instead of you is because of his caution.”
"You can think that he is timid and fearful, but being cautious means that he does not dare to make mistakes. Being timid means that he knows fear."
"Do you think Tan Long is more 'fearful' of me, or more of the Hou family?"
Lu Li gave Shi Yan a meaningful look.
Shi Yan thought for a moment, understood immediately, and whispered: "Tan Long... must be more afraid of adults."
When he said this, Shi Yan still seemed a little awkward.
Although he knew what Lu Li meant, he was not used to Lu Li using such a straightforward metaphor.
"You should be more accustomed to calling this kind of loyalty, but in my opinion, loyalty is the biggest lie." Lu Li reached out and patted Shi Yan's shoulder, smiling: "Maybe you and Tan Long both have certain feelings. Loyal, but I prefer to regard it as a kind of fear. I am afraid of the power of Prince Yan’s Palace, but I am also afraid of my methods."
"As long as this fear lasts for one day, you will be loyal to Prince Yan's Mansion for one day. This kind of loyalty born from fear is more reliable than words."
"Don't worry."
Lu Li changed the topic, "Tan Long will do no harm. If the Hou family really dares to take action against him... that would be a good thing."
"Master Lu, are you trying to test the Hou family?" Shi Yan became a little cautious for no reason and asked cautiously.
Lu Li shook his head and said, "It's not a test, it's just a safety measure."
He didn't explain too much. He dusted his sleeves and said indifferently: "Let's go. We have a lot to do today."
When Shi Yan heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he even said yes and followed Lu Li.
Just as they were leaving, the Hou family asked someone to take Tan Long down to settle down. Mr. Hou Wu and Mr. Hou Ba were sitting in the living room, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
At this moment, Fifth Master Hou had read all the contents of the jade pendant left by Lu Li, and his expression was also uncertain for a while.
Hou Ba Ye looked like an old monk in meditation. Hou Wu Ye refused to speak, and he didn't take the initiative to speak. He didn't seem to be in any hurry.
But in fact, his heart was in turmoil.
The plan brought by Lu Li really made it difficult for them to make a choice.
On the one hand, the huge benefits behind this plan are indeed extremely tempting. On the other hand, huge benefits always come with huge risks.
And no one could tell whether there was any conspiracy behind Lu Li's plan.
"Lao Ba, this matter..."
Finally, the fifth master Hou couldn't bear it any longer. He raised his head and looked at the old master Hou Ba, wanting to ask his opinion.
However, Hou Ba Ye immediately raised his hand, interrupted Hou Wu Ye's words, and said with a smile: "Fifth Brother, don't you claim to be the person in charge of the Hou family? Of course you have to make the decision on this matter. It’s all up to Fifth Brother to make the decision.”
"Are you... now the time to be angry?"
Fifth Master Hou was choked and said with a livid face: "Lu Li came here this time with an extremely tough attitude! He is going to attack our Hou family!"
"Just do it, what? The Hou family is really vulnerable without Mr. Hou?"
Hou Baye said nonchalantly: "Fifth brother, if you ask me, you just think too much. Although the truth of Lu Li's words is hard to figure out, there is one sentence he said that touched my heart. "
"What are you talking about?" Mr. Hou Wu's eyes flashed.
"Prince Yan's Mansion is an official power no matter what. In this world, there are rules everywhere, and everyone must live according to these rules. The court has its own rules, and the aristocratic family has its own rules. Lu Li's words are a reminder to us that as long as they are within the rules, the Yan Palace and the Hou family may not be unable to coexist."
After Master Hou said this, he suddenly smiled and said: "Speaking of which, this Lu Li is also a wonderful person. He has given the Sanzhou family a lot of headaches during this period. I don't know how many people want him to die, but those people absolutely can't imagine it. Well, after forcefully suppressing the Aristocratic Family, he turned around and approached us to propose cooperation."
"But what if he uses the invitation of cooperation to interfere in the affairs of the Hou family?" Hou Wuye also understood what Hou Baye meant, but there was still a worried look on his face: "Lu Li's behavior during this period is obviously He’s just a lunatic who doesn’t follow rules or reason. Now you say he wants to talk to us about rules... Who believes it? Who dares to believe it? "
Hou Wuye's worries are not unfounded.
Ever since the Marquis disappeared and Lu Li's Jian Zhantianren incarnate, he has been acting like a reckless man who doesn't follow the rules, almost smashing the 'table' that the Yanzhou family has worked so hard to maintain, and even directly sending people to After attacking the industrial foundation of each family, there were several conflicts and frictions. Although the family suffered heavy losses, the Yan Palace did not take any advantage, and it also lost a lot of manpower.
But it was precisely because of Lu Li's behavior at all costs that he frightened the heads of each family. Even if they suffered a big loss, they could only hold their noses and admit it in the end.
Otherwise, they were afraid that they would push Lu Li into a panic and end up in a dead end.
After all, the character that Lu Li is showing now looks crazy and disorganized, but is actually extremely domineering, and his goal is to force everyone to bow their heads and make concessions.
After all the aristocratic families were subdued, he really calmed down for a while.
How could such a person calmly discuss cooperation with the family
Anyway, Fifth Master Hou doesn’t believe it.
Hou Baye may not really believe it, but he obviously thinks more and further than Hou Wuye.
In his opinion, his fifth brother is good at everything. He just looks forward and backward, always thinking about the overall situation and arranging everything properly. But how can there be anything perfect in this world? If you want benefits, you don't pay anything, and you don't take any risks. All the benefits are taken by you. What do others want
At this point, Hou Baye thought that he was different from him.
It’s even different from Mr. Hou!
Although Mr. Hou brought grand occasion to the Hou family, Mr. Hou felt that he was still too petty and could only maintain success, but not enterprising enough!
