Several people sat around the table, and Tao Qiqi poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Seeing Nangong Yi drinking all the tea in the cup in one gulp, Nangong Ye took the initiative to ask, "Tell me, why did he appear here? If I remember correctly, your fiefdom should not be in the south, right?"

Nangong Yi replied: "Actually, if I don't say it, the third brother must have a clear idea. It was the second brother who asked me to come."

Nangong Ye asked again: "Then have you been bribed by him?"

Nangong Yi replied anxiously: "No, I can't do anything about it. Third brother, you know. If I don't agree to him, I'd already gone to see my father. I'm also a stopgap solution to promise him."

"Then the purpose of your trip is to convince me to help him?"

"No, I won't convince my third brother of any decision. This time I came here to find my third brother as my backer and asked for protection from my third brother. Since I heard about my third brother's affairs, I temporarily agreed to my second brother's request, and then took the initiative to propose to my second brother that I would come to my third brother. In this way, I can come to find my third brother with justification. In order to make me successfully approach my third brother, the second brother will arrange someone to protect me on the way."

"Why are you not afraid of angering him?"

"As long as I approach my third brother, he doesn't know what I have told you specifically. Besides, if I can have the protection of my third brother, it doesn't matter whether I will anger him or not."

After hearing this, Tao Qiqi, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say, "Then you are pulling your third brother into the fire pit."

"How can you say that I was pulling my third brother into the fire pit? The third brother knows what the second brother wants. As long as the third brother doesn't agree for a day, even if I don't have me, the second brother will not give up on the third brother. Don't you know what happened along the way? How much effort did the second brother spend to get close to the third brother?"

Tao Qiqi nodded: "This is true. But is your second brother so easy to fool? While you promised to cooperate with him, you came to find your third brother for protection. Why would he believe that you would not betray him?"

Nangong Yi replied: "He has taken away what he wants here. For me, it is just a piece of his. Since he wants to get the third brother's thing, he can only choose to believe it."

"Then your choice is pretty good, and neither side will offend him." Tao Qiqi exposed Nangong Yi's calculations without mercy.

Nangong Yi did not make any arguments after hearing this, and even boldly admitted it.

"Yes, I don't dare to offend any of them, because I just want to live."

The words of being alive made Tao Qiqi look up at him.

Although she had not experienced the power struggle personally, whether she read novels or costume dramas in her previous life, the open and secret struggles of the royal family were not simple.

Some people do power, some people do money, and some people just do it for life.

Nangong Ye used to not fight or rob to survive.

The same is true for Nangong Yi not to offend any party now.

And isn’t she trying hard to become stronger and make money in order to live?

Then what reason do I have to laugh at others?

"Sorry." Tao Qiqi apologized to Nangong Yi and poured him a cup of tea.

Nangong Yi was not angry, but continued: "Actually, no matter who sits in that position, I just hope he doesn't attack his brother, I just hope he can think more about the people.

Since the eldest brother sat in that position, although he has not seen any action against us brothers, he knows the second brother's secret operation. He is actually waiting for an opportunity if he doesn't stop him.

Not only that, he had no concern for the lives and death of the people. On the way here this time, the people were discussing and waiting for disaster relief food, but what they didn't know was that there would be no disaster relief food at all."

"Why?" Tao Qiqi looked puzzled.

Nangong Yi replied: "There have been drought in the north over the years, and the grains have not been harvested for more than two years. People have no rice to put in pots and no rice to pay the grain. If they cannot pay the grain, the granaries in various places will be empty. Without food, how can the soldiers in the border guard the country? Although the south is not affected, there are too many people who ask for food, so they can't take care of it."

Tao Qiqi: "If you really want to care, you can still squeeze out some of it if you squeeze it in your fingers. Just a little bit is enough for those ordinary people to survive."

After hearing Tao Qiqi's words, Nangong Yi nodded in agreement: "Indeed, squeezed and squeezed is enough for the people to survive. But the problem is that at this critical moment, he did not think about his people, but how to expand the territory."

Ai —

Hearing this, Tao Qiqi stood up from the stone bench angrily, "If the people of Dayong are all starved to death, it is useless to expand their territory. Do you plan to bury all the soil on yourself after death and then press them into the 18th floor of hell?"

"18th level hell? What does it mean?" Nangong Yi asked in confusion.

Tao Qiqi found that he was rude, but fortunately there was no such thing as the 18th floor hell at this time, so he hurriedly said, "It's okay."

Seeing Tao Qiqi say it's okay, Nangong Yi did not continue to ask questions, but looked at his third brother, and then asked tentatively: "Does the third brother have no plans now?"

Nangong Ye understood what Nangong Yi wanted to ask, looked up at him, and replied lightly: "Yes."

When Nangong Yi heard this word, his eyes lit up and he was about to say something, but Nangong Ye turned his mouth and said, "Take your Aunt Jiang safely to the fiefdom and live your own life. This is my plan."

"San brother, you know what I want to ask!"

"What is it?" Nangong Ye deliberately continued to pretend to be stupid.

"Among us brothers, I know that only you are the most suitable position. I believe that my father thought so at the beginning. But why are you? Do you really have the heart to watch the people suffer and suffer?"

"If that's not the case? Thousand miles away from the heads?"

This is a sentence Tao Qiqi said at the beginning, and he picked it up and used it.

But now he really understood the meaning of this sentence.

"Stern brother, you still have Master Tao. At least you are stronger than me and my second brother. Second brother is not willing to be weak, so you shouldn't be unmoved. Or do you really never think about that position from beginning to end?"

"I haven't thought about it. I won't think about it anymore. So don't say these things again in the future. If you want to live, you must understand what you should say and what you shouldn't say."

It was not that Nangong Ye had thought about it now, but because he thought it too clearly, he was unmoved.

A good player won't beat a pair of fists, and a pair of fists can't beat a pair of four hands. He thought too clearly.

Although he currently has Qiqi protection, protection is one thing. He must not do if Qiqi risked his life to seize that position for him. No matter how powerful Qiqi is, he is only powerful in tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

As for the common people, he can only say that he should leave his destiny and do his best.

Seeing that the third brother seemed to have no idea, Nangong Yi stopped talking about this topic, but his mind became significantly heavier.

The eldest brother's ruthlessness and the second brother's ruthlessness can only achieve peace and prosperity if the third brother sits in that position, but the third brother has no intention.

Tao Qiqi, who was standing beside him, looked at the topic of the sudden stop of the brothers, and the atmosphere was a little nervous. He wanted to say something to liven up the atmosphere, but the system sound suddenly rang.
