When Nian Tan was asked by Lu Xihou this—?, his whole body was stunned by the question, and some cold sweat broke out on his back.

The Lu Xihou in front of him did not match the rumors, he underestimated the young city lord.

Nian Tan remained silent, quickly searching for words in his heart, intending to tactfully bypass him.

It's true that he doesn't? Account for reason.

Nian Tan secretly had a headache.

When Lu Xihou communicated with him at the beginning, he didn't think there was any problem.

No? Over-? Season geese collected grass, from sowing to harvesting, it took three months.

During the past three months, I just took the people below to practice, so as not to lose my mind after being idle for a long time.

After the city lord's mansion issued an official document, it asked the troops from various places to form a team to fight against, and also gave a specific plan.

This is a little bit of meddling in his military training plan. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't take it too seriously. He thought about fooling around for three months, and it would be over soon.

Unexpectedly, one of the aides saw it and thought it was wrong.

It is pointed out that I am afraid that the newly appointed city lord wants to plant geese and gather grass, which is the appearance, and the fundamental purpose is to seize power.

At the beginning, the city lord asked to plant wild goose grass to give him a sense of presence in the army. After the wild goose grass was planted, he would give rewards and give other orders.

—? One after another, after a long time, the soldiers will naturally know who they should be loyal to.

As time goes by, I'm afraid the army only knows the city lord, isn't it? Zhinian, deputy commander, if there is anything wrong, don't you? Convinced, maybe there will be a leapfrog report.

Nian Tan was so—? a little bit by his staff, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what the staff said made sense.

—? Step back, in the future, you will inevitably have to step back step by step, when the time comes, the city lord may not take himself seriously.

After thinking about it, he felt that his attitude should be tougher, so he rushed to talk to Lu Xihou about it.

As the staff said, he has reached the Great Consummation of the God Transformation Realm, and it is estimated that he will be able to enter the Void Return Realm in ten or eight years.

Even if the new city lord is not satisfied with him this time, there is nothing he can do. In this case, the attitude might as well be tough—something.

Before Nian Tan came to the City Lord's Mansion, he typed up several drafts, and the stakes? Think clearly.

When he was really facing Lu Xihou's eyes that were so clear that they could see through everything, he felt a little unsure in his heart.

After hesitating again and again, Nian Tan bowed his hands to Lu Xihou, and said in a deep voice, "That's true? No? It's just another reason. It's just that I'm not happy to plant wild geese and grass after hearing what the soldiers are talking about. I'm afraid I'll think about it. Forcing the entire army to plant geese and grass will damage the majesty of the city lord, so please take it back."

Lu Xihou's face was very serious, "Military orders are like a mountain. I only heard that the soldiers carried out the orders of their superiors unconditionally. I haven't heard of any soldiers who bargained. Is the situation in our Lingyang army so bad? My city lord can't command?"

Nian listened to his questioning, his expression changed slightly, and he cupped his hands again, "Lingyang officers and men are naturally loyal to the city lord, no matter what orders they receive, they will do their duty."

"Then these? Discussions—" Lu Xihou squinted his eyes, "There are so many gossips in the army, but which level is not strict in governing the army?"

"There's a lot of talk, but the last general? He learned about it through unannounced visits."

Sweat broke out on Nian Tan's forehead, and he said: "When the old city lord was still alive, the soldiers were busy—? Years, and winter just took a rest. The city lord—? He changed the custom when he took office, and drove the soldiers to go out to plant grass in winter. Even if the soldiers didn't say anything? , I may not be convinced in my heart."

Lu Xihou said indifferently: "'—? Chaotianzi—? Courtier' General Nian should have heard the words. When Master is here, there are Master's rules, and I have mine. Does it mean that the general only recognizes Master and not me?"

Nian Tan's heart trembled, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The last general? Dare."

He lowered his eyelashes as he said the words, and the words of the staff echoed in his heart again, all saying that the new city lord was training soldiers wantonly, probably because he was dissatisfied with his deputy commander and wanted to empty him.

Looking at it today, it turned out that the matter was exactly as the staff said. The words of the new city lord, inside and outside, were all distrust of him.

Nian Tan sighed in his heart, I'm afraid he really is the emperor of the dynasty—a courtier.

What more did Nian Tan want to say, but Lu Xihou raised his hand to stop him, and said, "I've made up my mind, General Nian? I don't need to persuade him again."

Nian Tan raised his head and saw his resolute face. He wanted to say something more but couldn't say it. He just said, "Please think again, the city lord. The matter has been reported, and the general will retire first?"

Hearing that he was going to leave, Lu Xihou's attitude softened again, and he said, "General Nian, don't go back in a hurry, I asked Mr. Lu to refine some? For the effect of the meridian, someone will take it later and send it to the general."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xihou said to Zhou Jue who was next to him: "Isn't General Nian coming? It's easy. Deacon Lao will accompany you to taste the special dishes of the City Lord's Mansion."

Nian Tan heard that there was Huichun Pill, and his complexion improved a little, so he said something first, "Thank you, City Lord, the last general will not be polite."

Lu Xihou—? Smiled, "General, you have been working together for a long time, why don't you try the delicious food first, and the Rejuvenation Pill will be delivered later."

As he spoke, he winked at Zhou Jue.

Zhou Jue and Lu Xihou cooperated with each other tacitly, and immediately asked Nian Tan to go out and comfort him later——Dun.

Nian Tan has heard that the banquets in the City Lord's Mansion are all high-quality spirit grass and spirit beasts, and they have been cooked with special methods and served with spirit wine, isn't it? It's worse than taking pills.

After the two left, Lin Jingyun turned in from the door and asked Lu Xihou, "General Nian really regretted it?"

Lu Xihou frowned, "Yes."

After a pause, Lu Xihou said again: "He won't? Convince me."

Lin Jingyun laughed when he heard the words, "Even if you don't convince me, is it because you persuaded me? Tan Tan is more than brave, but not resourceful, somewhat indecisive. In ten or eight years, don't worry too much."

"For a cultivator, a hundred years is nothing more than a snap of the fingers—a moment of waving."

Lin Jingyun said: "It depends on whether you enter the Void Returning Realm first or General Nian. If you enter the Void Returning Realm first, General Nian doesn't have to worry."

"Is this really true? It's hard to say."

"I won't worry about it in the future, anyway, what Lingyang has to worry about? Don't stop this—? Take your time."

Lu Xihou sighed lightly, even if he wanted to solve it quickly, there was no way.

Lin Jingyun put the jade slip in his hand on the case table, then bent down to take the opportunity, lowered his voice and said softly: "It is not a bad thing for us to be exposed so early that Nian Tan is not a trustworthy person."

The entire City Lord's Mansion has anti-eavesdropping magic circles, but Lu Xihou was worried, waved his hand and added-? Dao, making sure that no one can eavesdrop, said: "After this incident, we all know. But Lingyang is the biggest Isn’t the dilemma? Is there not enough talent?”

"That's true, but it's not true." Lin Jingyun smiled mysteriously, "Actually, there is the best candidate right now."

Seeing that he was mysterious, Lu Xihou frowned and thought for a while, but he didn't think of the best candidate.

"Who?"

"What do you think of Senior Brother Sui?" Lin Jingyun tapped the desk lightly, "If you trust him, he is the best candidate."

Lu Xihou really didn't expect to go to Sui Han, and frowned, "If you can't even trust him, I don't know who else you can trust. It's just that he is not suitable."

"Which is inappropriate?" Lin Jingyun's voice was a little softer, "Brother Sui, the master of the Taichu Sword Sect, has long been famous? It's not true. Since the moment his master died, he never? Never? May sit on the head of the Taichu Sword Sect. Instead of just cultivating like a wild crane, how about participating in the affairs of the soul."

Lu Xihou frowned and said nothing.

Lin Jingyun said again: "Brother Sui's situation in Taichu Sword Sect is worse than mine in Nine Provinces Empire. Although my elder brother is also preventing me from taking the throne, I am my father's own son after all. When my father is still alive, I will Elder brother doesn't? He might really do something. Senior brother Sui can't...it's decided."

In fact, Lu Xihou also? Understand a little bit.

He had discussed this issue with Sui Han and Qing Luo before.

His master didn't approve of letting Sui Han deeply participate in Lingyang's affairs, and Sui Han himself had the idea of ​​avoiding suspicion.

Lu Xihou——sighed, "I'll think about it again."

Lin Jingyun said: "If Senior Brother Sui didn't hold any important position at Lingyang's side, it seems that he is still thinking about the Taichu Sword Sect and deliberately avoiding suspicion."

Lu Xihou said softly: "No. He's such a glamorous—? Personal, he doesn't have that idea."

"Of course we know that Senior Brother Sui is a man, not necessarily those guys from Taichu Sword Sect who take him as a thorn in their side. Besides—"

Lin Jingyun paused, and said: "Cultivators have to do something besides cultivation? What do you do to cultivate your state of mind, don't you? I'm afraid it's easy to stagnate after experiencing it. The effect is not great, and after a long time, people are afraid that it will be useless."

Lu Xihou was touched by what he said, and he pursed his lips, "I'll discuss it with him again."

"As for matters between your spouses, you should naturally discuss it yourself. I'm just a reminder." Lin Jingyun said, "If Senior Brother Sui comes to sit in that position, regardless of cultivation level, status, ability, loyalty or anything else, It's all perfect."

"A senior brother trained by the Sword Sect in the early days, who is in charge of the reserve team, and a young talent who can be counted among the best in the entire comprehension continent, is it too wasteful to only do odd jobs in Lingyang?"

Lu Xihou—? Le, quickly stopped smiling, and said solemnly, "Thank you."

"What are you being polite about?" Lin Jingyun smiled and said, "Brother Sui should have been called out to work a long time ago. The two of us are so busy, we can't let him-? be lazy, right?"
