Xu Xianzhi sighed: "This is not something that happens today. To be precise, before you entered the Beifu Army, Jinu had received the support of the Xie family and the heart of Miaoyin. Over the years, he has not let them down.
.Now that the overall situation has been decided, Sima Dezong, the useless emperor, is in everyone's interest. If you really intend to support Sima Dewen, you may cause chaos in the world, and you will not benefit in the end."
Liu Yi sneered and said: "This is what I have been most unconvinced about over the years. I am not as good as a slave in any way. In terms of martial arts, he may be slightly stronger, but we used to fight every once in a while in Jingkou, and he didn't.
Convince me. As for using troops, he is a little more ruthless than me, but I don’t think he is really better than me. Many times he puts his life on the line. As the commander of the armed forces, you cannot fight like this. Even if he is luckier than me,
His military achievements are now greater than mine, but I can surpass him in terms of essays. When it comes to military management and gaining the support of my brothers, how am I inferior to him? Xie An was partial back then and was afraid of me.
This man with both civil and military skills will pose a threat to his Xie family in the future, so he will promote Liu Yu, a big boss!"
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "The Xie family is interested in Liu Yu, but it's not just because he is uneducated. Liu Yu treats people with sincerity, is willing to protect his brothers with his life, and is willing to sacrifice everything to fight for his brothers' interests. This is what you and I do."
Xie Xianggong saw too much selfishness and intrigue back then, so a pure warrior like Liu Yu who didn’t care about anything else but just wanted to go to the Northern Expedition was what they really wanted to find.”
At this point, he paused: "Besides, you can't force things like love. The noble daughter of Miaoyin Tian fell in love with Liu Yu herself. The same Liu Tingyun fell in love with Huan Xuan, and now she's with you.
All we can say is that these are people with similar values and can come together."
Liu Yi gritted his teeth: "Xianzhi, do you want to say that I am the kind of person who is greedy for power, unscrupulous, and unwilling to treat others with sincerity?"
Xu Xianzhi smiled slightly: "Xile, do we still need to be polite between us? Aren't you this kind of person? Everything you do has a purpose and is for your own benefit. Even though you have been trying to cover it up
But a truly wise man can see this."
Liu Yi was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "You are right. Everything I do is really for my own plan. Maybe this is the reason why the Xie family didn't take a fancy to me back then. I always thought it was because of me.
Back then, I issued two black and white notices, and I did a lot of things in private to curry favor with or expel foreign officials. Xie An knew about it, so he refused to re-employ me. Now I understand, and I should let them see through it."
Xu Xianzhi said sternly: "Xile, although you can't be as sincere to others as a slave, you have your own advantages, that is, you can do anything to get a position and do anything. In this regard, a slave is not as good as you.
His sense of morality and justice is too strong, and he is unwilling to do many things. In this world, it is not black and white. Most people are profit-seeking people. Nobility can make people grateful, but only real interests can make people grateful.
People follow you. Now that you have soldiers and power, you can benefit many people who follow you. This is something that Jinu may not be able to do now. Jinu is not willing to make friends with the children of those aristocratic families who exploit and oppress the people, but you can,
If you really want to share the power of being a slave in the future, or even transfer it to someone else, this is your only chance."
Liu Yi laughed: "Xianzhi, now do you know why I want to keep Liu Tingyun? It's not because I'm greedy for beauty, but because this woman can help me do the things you said. Look, I'm fighting on the front
, she was not idle in the back, but this time, she went too far. After I go back, I have to restrain her and not let her do whatever she wants. Do you have any good ideas to make her listen to me?
?”
Xu Xianzhi frowned slightly: "Are you really sure you won't drive her away or get rid of her this time?"
Liu Yi shook his head: "The Liu family still has certain power and connections. Liu Tingyun is now a famous lady in the capital. With the status of the future wife, I took her in not because of impulse or because of beauty, but because of her beauty.
I value her own abilities. At that time, she had nowhere to go and could only survive by relying on me. But now, over the past two years, she has stabilized the situation and changed from complete dependence on me to cooperation and mutual benefit, so this time
Only then did she have the courage to disobey my orders and do her own thing. I will punish her this time, but in the long run, I still lack a way to make her absolutely controlled by me. I envy you, you are good at intelligence, and you have countless ways to make people
Can you help me if you obey orders and don't dare to disobey?"
Xu Xianzhi sighed, took out a small celadon bottle from his arms, and handed it to Liu Yi: "Xile, you have to think carefully about whether you want to give this to your wife."
Liu Yi opened the bottle cap, and a pungent smell made him frown slightly. When Ding Qing took a look, there was a small red pill inside. He closed the bottle cap and said in a deep voice: "What is this?"
?”
Xu Xianzhi sighed: "This is a Gu pill from the land of Fujian and Yue, also known as Brain Worm Pill. The red wax pill on the outside contains a brain Gu larvae. Use the anesthetic medicine of Tianshi Dao to make it hibernate, and it will not last long."
It's big, but if the wax pill melts, the bug will wake up, grow up in a moment, and then penetrate into the human brain and eat brain kernels. The feeling of being eaten by bugs and ants on the brain will probably be overwhelming.
After having gone through all the cruel punishments in the world, at this point, I really can’t live or die!”
Even though he was as fierce and brave as Liu Yi, he still broke into a cold sweat when he heard this, and his voice was stuttering: "How did you get such evil things?"
Xu Xianzhi shook his head: "This thing is too evil. When I moved my family to Shangyu, by chance, a senior master taught me this thing. The brain poison only grows in the deep mountains and old forests of southern Fujian, absorbing countless
Miasma poisonous gas is born, and because the poisonous insects eat each other, it may take tens to hundreds of years to catch one. The various medicinal materials needed to anesthetize it are extremely precious. I only have one like this myself, and I still have it.
Never used it. Because my spies can usually maintain their loyalty by giving favors and controlling their family members. You don't need this thing. It is probably only people like Liu Tingyun who have a high status, cannot be controlled, and are extremely important to you.
, that’s why it’s needed.”
Liu Yi looked at the brain bug pill intently, gritted his teeth and said: "After taking this thing, it will stay in the body for a lifetime and cannot be resolved? And this wax pill will always be resolved within the human body. How to control and ensure that this evil
Will the insects come out?"
