Yerunan was awakened by the tangy aroma emanating from the mutton pot. He felt a salivating smell lingering on the tip of his nose, slowly waking him up from his drowsiness. However, his eyes had not yet opened.

His unsatisfactory stomach was already growling. He relied on instinct and slowly sat up, looking for the source of the alluring aroma. He took a deep breath, and his whole body suddenly felt so comfortable.

.

"Oh, looking at this, I'm really hungry!"

"Hey, it's a shame that my painting skills are average. Otherwise, I would have painted this scene and laughed at him. This is not a handsome young man. He is clearly a refugee on the run!"

"Come on, when you are very hungry, you are worse than him. You are just like a hungry wolf, gobbling up food."

When Yerunan heard someone laughing and joking in his ear, he frowned involuntarily, sat up straight again, and slowly opened his eyes. When he woke up completely, he saw the people around him looking at him with smiles.

His face immediately turned red, and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Hey, you're finally awake!" Xue Ruitian came over to take a look, and took the hot handkerchief Mei Lin handed over, "Since you're awake, just wipe your face!"

"I...I..." Yerunan took the hot handkerchief, "I'm so sorry to let everyone see my ugly appearance."

"Hey, brother, what are you talking about? We have a private gathering, so we don't have to do all those silly things. Aren't you tired from doing it all day?" Xue Ruitian said with a smile, "

Besides, if we pursue this matter, it will still be our dereliction of duty, right?"

"No, no, no!" Yerunan packed himself up and waved his hand towards Xue Ruitian, "In the end, this matter is still my problem. I was careless and came here alone in a hurry, without even a guard.

Bring." He picked up the mutton soup in front of him, stood up and said seriously to Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Xue Ruitian, Jin Jing and Bai Meng, "I thank you all for your protection and hospitality.

Whatever happens in Liao, I will never forget the friendship between us."

"Young Master Yelu, you're welcome!" Shen Haolin took the lead and took two sips of the mutton soup. "Xiaotian is right. There is no need to pay attention to those false etiquette in private gatherings. Everyone, please take a seat!"

"Master Yelu, you just woke up and haven't eaten for several days. Don't eat too much at once. Drink some hot soup first to warm your stomach and let your stomach adapt." Jin Miaomiao added.

She added some hot soup to Yerunan's soup bowl, "If it's okay, you can eat slowly, I'm going to accompany you..." She winked at Bai Meng with a smirk on her face, "Excuse me, farewell!

"

"Master Jin, thank you for your hard work. Master Jin, walk slowly!" Yerunan took two sips of the soup, looked left and right, "Guo Gong Shen, General Shen, why are you missing these fifteen? He saved me, I should thank him properly.

If he hadn't gone to pick me up, it would be really difficult for me to handle so many assassins on my own, and maybe... I would have fallen into this trap."

"This is Jiapingguan City, and we should protect the safety of our distinguished guests." Shen Cha smiled, "If the guests are really wronged on our territory, wouldn't it be a slap in our own faces?

?”

"Cha'er is right, that's the truth." Shen Haolin nodded, "We will definitely give Mr. Yelu an explanation for this matter."

"This matter is quite simple to say the least, but there are many ways to do it." Yerunan drank two bowls of mutton soup in a row, feeling his stomach became warm, and then slowly took the fish out. Eat the mutton in the pot. "I thought about it before. If it is really the Duan family, with their trouble-making character, they will definitely not be satisfied with just messing around in Jiapingguancheng, Linhuang Mansion, and Yiqing Mansion." , we are not the only ones who have a headache.”

"But Mr. Yelu, if the others have a headache, we can leave it aside for the time being. But uncle Ling, if the current King of Liao has a headache, it will have a great impact on our plan." Chen Cha came out of the pot. He took out a piece of cooked radish and put it on the plate to dry, "Master Yelu, you have been out for a long enough time. If you don't go back, someone in Linhuang Mansion will make irresponsible remarks."

"General Shen and I went together. I thought I would leave early tomorrow morning. If it's too late, I wouldn't be able to catch up with the funeral." Yerunan nodded, "It's just that you have to consider the things I came to discuss with you this time. How's it going? Can you give me an accurate answer today?"

"Merlin, give this to Young Master Yelu." Shen Cha took a roll of paper from under the small table and handed it to Mei Lin, "There is no problem with cooperation. The specific matters are all written on this. Young Master Yelu can take a look first. If there is any If you have any objections, we can still discuss it. If there is something that Mr. Yelu himself is not sure about, you can go back and have a good discussion with Mr. Lan."

"So thick? You are really thoughtful." Yerunan carefully read the cooperation details written by Shen Cha. After reading it, he sighed softly, "We are indeed the best partners for cooperation. We really have a tacit understanding. , Alan and I have discussed most of the above matters repeatedly before, and the final conclusion is basically the same as yours."

“But?”

"The Marquis is wise, that's exactly what it is." Yerunan nodded, "My thoughts are the same as everyone else's. Military power must be in our hands. And A Lan..."

"Master Lan is reluctant to part with Linhuang Mansion?" Seeing Yerunan showing a wry smile, Jin Jing waved her hands in disapproval, "If you want to reach the top, you must make a choice. Even if I have never been to Linhuang Mansion, , Think about it and you will know that the power of each family is intertwined. Even if Mr. Lan has been in business for many years, he will often feel that he is unable to do what he wants, right?"

"Yes, although the arrangements have been made many years ago, it is not easy to really gain a foothold. It is also because of this that he gave up the family business and started over..." Yerunan Shaking his head, "Such courage is not something ordinary people can have."

Shen Cha and Shen Haolin looked at each other and nodded lightly. Yerunan was right. If they were faced with such a choice, they would be very distressed. However, without a bit of ruthlessness, how can they do it? What about winning the final victory?

"Having said that, Young Master Yelu, you have to know that the more powerful a place is, the easier it is for trouble to arise. You know, I know, Young Master Lan's current situation, and Young Master Lan also knows it very well. As the regent, he

Although some people are paying attention to Prince Wang, most of the attention is focused on who will become the next King of Liao. But it is different now. He has become the focus of everyone's attention. Every day is like walking on the tip of a knife. If there is

A slight mistake in a trip..." Jin Jing raised her eyebrows, "It will definitely become the target of public criticism. Even the smallest trivial matter may become a reminder for Mr. Lan. Mr. Yelu, do you think we should start from the center of this chaos?

Should you step out and explore another world, or should you continue to stick to it and risk your life before the big thing is accomplished?"

"Master Marquis, military advisor, I understand the principle of making a fortune silently, and I also understand the principle of firmly holding the military power in one's own hands, but A Lan... has lived in Linhuang Mansion since he was a child. I want him to

You still need to be forced to leave that comfortable place and venture out." Yerunan carefully put away the cooperation matters, "Don't worry, I have already thought about how to persuade him. I believe it won't be long before you guys can
