Xu Yi sighed heavily, but did not defend himself. He waved over a stone table and bench, set out a pot of tea and two blue and white porcelain cups, sat down, poured a cup, and poured himself a drink.
"Why, nothing to say?"
There was a gleam in the white wolf's eyes.
Although he and Xu Yi had met for the first time, they had a good impression of this person. He was courageous and resourceful without losing his temperament. He would definitely be a character in the future.
But he never expected that Xu Yi would dare to play double-handedly in front of him, making a show of friendship with him, then turning around, and getting close to Tu Wuming again, this was unbearable.
Xu Yi said, "Brother Bai, how do you see the King?"
This is his usual tactic. Once it is difficult to deal with it, he first pretends to be deep, and then suddenly drags the topic thousands of miles away, in order to delay his own thinking.
His original intention to intervene this time was precisely to plot against the evil spirits such as Wuming. As for seeking an official position in Jinpeng Yaowang's mansion, it was only a later idea.
Since he wanted to plan against evil spirits such as Tu Wuming, it was impossible not to deal with these people. He really didn't think about what the white wolf would think.
Unexpectedly, the white wolf took such a fancy to him that he came straight to the door just after the banquet was over.
White Wolf sat down opposite Xu Yi, staring at Xu Yidao, "Your Majesty is a man of the world, a hero of the world, what is it, do you have an opinion on Your Majesty?"
Xu Yi said, "Naturally not, what I asked was not about the king's character, but about the quarrel between Brother Bai and Tu Wuming, how does the king think about it." He had a good brain, but in an instant, he found the starting point.
When the white wolf was pondering, Xu Yi continued, "I'm just a newcomer, and I don't have much ambition. I just want to be an official here. It's a great honor to be able to make friends with Brother Bai. I also think that Brother Bai is a The king is the most trustworthy person, so when he was in trouble with Tu Wuming, Xu did not avoid danger and rushed to the front. He had already grasped the handle of Tu Wuming, but the king didn't let it go, Brother Bai thought what would I do? What's more, when the banquet was held, Brother Bai left without saying a word, so why did he ever think about Xu's bewilderment. It's still the same sentence, Xu came here to make a living, and he didn't intend to die for anyone. Since Brother Bai There is no need for Xu, and Xu has no intention of offending such a big man like Tu Wuming who is so simple in the king's heart, so what can he do besides apologizing and bearing the humiliation?"
After he said these words, the barren ghost in the starry sky ring sighed again and again, convinced, the fish in the river would jump ashore as you said.
What he said was sincere and tactful, but Bai Lang understood, picked up the poured cup of tea, and raised his hand at Xu Yi, "It's Bai who didn't think so well, this cup is for Brother Xu Sorry." After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Before he came, he really couldn't figure out how Xu Yi dared to go around like this and seek refuge in Tu Wuming. He would not only gain Tu Wuming's trust, but also lose his own favor. It was completely impossible for a smart person to do it.
He didn't intend to come, but he always felt that when the king looked at Xu Yi, the look in his eyes was unusual, and he thought about Xu Yi's temperament when he was begging Chen Fangge for an official, so he went through this experience.
After listening to what Xu Yi said, he completely understood.
Reasonable, too reasonable, for a monk who just wanted to be an official here and had no intention of getting involved in the fight, there was no need to be caught between him and Tu Wuming, not to mention, the king's statement at the time was really ambiguous.
What made Bai Lang speechless the most was that his sudden departure without any explanation to Xu Yi made Xu Yi have countless guesses, which was also reasonable.
The white wolf was relieved, and immediately said, "I left with the king at that time because I had urgent business, and I forgot to explain to you for a while, so it was not in the cold. As for the attitude of the king, you are thinking about it. Tu Wuming is a strong man in the four realms, and He is a well-known figure on the list of demons, so he came to vote this time, and he was naturally regarded as a banner by the king, and the reason why a thousand gold is a horse bone, I don’t need to tell you more.”
"Your Majesty is not trying to suppress me, but to protect him. It's just that on such occasions, he can't lose Tu Wuming's face, and he can't pull out this banner by himself. As for the conflict between me and Tu Wuming, it doesn't exist at all. In other words , It's just Tu Wuming's wishful thinking, he thought that the king praised him a few words and showed him a favor, so he thought he could take the opportunity to replace me, that is a dream. How can my friendship with the king be comparable to him?"
"Originally, I didn't want to say these words in front of others, that is, you, brother Xu. Brother Xu is a great talent, and the future is limitless. As long as you follow the pace of the king, you don't need to pay attention to any young people. In addition, I am here today. Good news for Brother Xu, the king intends to confer a fourth-rank senior official on Brother Xu."
Ecstasy welled up on Xu Yi's face, and he suppressed it in an instant, "To tell you the truth, Brother Bai, although I dreamed of getting an official, I just received the news that there was another incident at my hometown. I'm afraid there will be a twists and turns, this official position I... "
The white wolf laughed, "What do I think it is? With me in the center, why do you need to worry too much. By the way, who is responsible, do you want me to transfer an army horse to Brother Xu, and just sweep the matter away. Brother Xu, don’t forget that you are already a senior official of Jinpeng Yaowang’s mansion, My Jinpeng Yaowangfu will not lose to his Yinting, from now on, when Brother Xu goes out, he will report that it is the banner of Jinpeng Yaowangfu."
Xu Yi excitedly poured himself a cup and drank it down, "This is the best, Brother Bai's kindness to me, Xu will always remember it in his heart."
The white wolf laughed and waved his hands again and again. He became more and more satisfied with Xu Yi. This person has a temperament, but the key is that he is an honest person. Say what you have to say, which is especially rare.
If he was thinking like this, if Huang Mei knew about it, he would have fainted in shock. The most unpredictable and unpredictable guy in the world, how could he be evaluated as "what to say", is there any reason
The white wolf was in a good mood, so Xu Yi climbed up the pole, "Dare to ask Brother Bai, how old are these fourth-rank officials?"
The white wolf laughed and said, "What? I think the official is too small? Let's put it this way, I am only the third rank, the second rank, and the first rank is vacant, which is reserved for future meritorious ministers, so that the meritorious service will not be rewarded. Finally, the king will open a secret realm and put some official talismans in it. Everyone can get it based on their ability, which can not only verify their strength, but also avoid disputes. I have already put your official talisman in it. When the time comes, I will contact you at your address. , you go directly to pick it up and go through the process.”
Xu Yi thanked him again, deeply feeling that there are people in the court who are good at being officials, and it really is true.
After drinking a pot of tea, the white wolf politely refused Xu Yi to keep a meal, and left immediately. The grand ceremony was imminent, and all kinds of things were heavy. He had the trust of the Jinpeng Demon King, and he still had a lot of work on hand, so he couldn't delay.
