Ye Xiao looked at Du Qingkuang and said calmly: "I know? You are still very uncomfortable in your heart. From an emotional point of view, I understand you. Falling in love with another person is where the heart is and where the mind is. But you
You should also understand that if the person you love doesn't love you back, it is already destined that your love will not be reciprocated in the same way. You should understand even more that your eldest brother and sister-in-law have wasted decades for you, just for your sake.
Mood considerations..."
"In this world, there are always some bottom lines that cannot be touched. Going to extremes will inevitably lead to extreme consequences."
"As a man, I don't need to say anything more about what I care about most. As a man, if someone covets his woman...and pursues her relentlessly, then it would be hard for anyone to do that.
We must kill this person quickly!"
"And the only reason why you can still live peacefully together after doing this for so many years is because they care about you. They care about you as their brother, and they care about the friendship between you."
"Du Qingkuang, loving someone is your freedom, but it does not mean that you are great, nor does it mean that others should make endless concessions to you, let alone let others sacrifice their own happiness to pay for you because of your love! Especially
This other person is your most respected elder brother, and the other is the woman you love most!"
"You are brothers. I shouldn't have said more originally. But since you have chosen to join the Monarch Pavilion, we are a family. However, there is some kind of entanglement between the family. This is the thing I least like to see."
Ye Xiao nodded: "Tonight, I will hold a banquet to welcome everyone to officially join the Monarch Pavilion. I hope that Du Qingkuang will have figured it out by then. In that case, we will be very happy!"
Ye Xiao paused for a moment and then said: "Lao Lei, Miss Feng'er, after we have finished handling the alliance matters, everything has come to an end. Before the dinner, you and Feng'er come to see me alone as a witness to your marriage.
Or, I must give you two a surprise, which can be regarded as a congratulatory gift from me on your wedding!"
After saying that, Ye Xiao left Lei Dongtian and walked to the other side.
On the other side, Mr. Guan Tiemian Guan is taking a dozen of his disciples, carefully registering each person's name, gender, cultivation level, preferred weapons, personality and temperament... and other information.
The registration is completed, which can be regarded as the completion of the first wave of data collection for new members. The reason why it is called the first wave of data collection is because the next step is to record in detail the life experiences of these new members of the Monarch Pavilion.
As well as detailed past information on powerful enemies, life and death grievances, etc.
Conflict with whom?
What force does it have friction with...etc.
These materials are also the basic information that the Monarch Pavilion must master.
Watching Ye Xiao leave, Lei Dongtian and others did not speak.
Du Qingkuang lowered his head for a long time. At this moment, he was more like a clay wood sculpture, completely losing all vitality and hope.
The faces of Lei Dongtian and Feng'er showed deep confusion, which was a kind of faint guilt.
Love between a man and a woman is the most beautiful thing in the world, but if this love between a man and a woman is mixed with guilt for a third party...
So……
The other two brothers stared at Du Qingkuang with burning eyes.
Xiao Fei, the youngest among the four brothers, was the one who had tipped off Ye Xiao and asked for help. Seeing that Du Qingkuang was still silent, he couldn't help but get angry and shouted angrily: "Third brother, you are so evil now."
What does sex mean? Are you really planning to make your eldest brother and sister-in-law feel guilty for you for the rest of your life? Feel uncomfortable for the rest of your life? Not to mention why you are so pretentious, just say that what you do is what you should do as a brother? Are you worthy of your eldest brother?
Did I come here to take care of you? Do you still have a heart? Or are you thinking all about how to plot against your own people..."
Du Qing's body shook violently.
"Youngest!" Lei Dongtian shouted sternly, forcibly interrupting Xiao Fei's words.
However, Du Qingkuang raised his lowered head, his face full of bitterness, and then he simply smiled bitterly.
He had been hanging his head in silence just now, not because he was being hypocritical, but because Ye Xiao's words really touched him so much!
"Du Qingkuang, loving someone is your freedom, but it does not mean that you are great, nor does it mean that others should make endless concessions to you, let alone let others sacrifice their own happiness to pay for you because of your love! Especially
Of these others, one is the eldest brother you respect the most, and the other is the woman you love most!"
Du Qingkuang's only feeling at this moment was that he was burning inside.
For the next period of time, these two sentences kept echoing in my ears.
It was only at this moment that he felt deeply for the first time his despicability, selfishness, shamelessness and despicableness.
"Brother, sister-in-law, Du Qingkuang hereby sincerely wishes you a hundred years of happiness and eternal unity." Du Qingkuang stood up and smiled bitterly, but his smile gradually became relaxed and he spoke sincerely: "I have two
A request.”
"What request?" Lei Dongtian asked: "No matter what you have to do, third child, you can tell me directly."
"The first request is that my eldest brother and sister-in-law will eventually get married if they have lovers. I am very greedy for brothers, so I will ask my eldest sister-in-law to take care of my life-long affairs and introduce me to a good girl as soon as possible. Wait for me to get married, naturally.
There’s no need to be greedy anymore…”
Du Qingkuang's smile was a little self-deprecating, and he chuckled: "I definitely believe in my sister-in-law's vision."
Feng'er felt relieved immediately after hearing this, and said harmoniously: "I know what it is, it turns out to be this. Even if you don't tell me, can I still forget it? This matter is all on me."
Everyone smiled together, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious.
"As for the second thing, it's even simpler. I can tell you that the eldest brother and sister-in-law have no hesitation." Du Qing raised his head and said: "When the eldest brother and sister-in-law have children, I will be the first godfather! This is definitely no problem, right?
?!"
Hu Fei and Huo Qun, who were standing next to them, immediately stood up with a loud roar and frowned angrily: "Bah? Why is there no problem? Why! Why do you want to be the first godfather? Everyone is obviously uncle! You
This shameless person is actually talking nonsense here and wants to take advantage of it. He is wishful thinking and wants to kill your thief as soon as possible!"
"Just because I'm older than you! Is this enough of a reason? If you want to move, if you don't want to move, just get out of here!" Du Qing shouted wildly: "You two, just get out of here, you have nothing to do here, I
What I’m asking is my eldest brother and sister-in-law, what does it have to do with you two bastards?!”
"Bah, why are we irrelevant? We are the child's uncles and we just don't agree!" The two of them stared at Du Qingkuang eagerly. It was obviously a matter of the future that had not yet been confirmed, but they created a feeling that they were about to fight.
intense impulse.
"This... there's no need to argue for now, that... that's all for later." Feng'er's face was red. She hadn't even gone to the wedding hall to get married at this moment, but these three guys were already thinking about this. Even though Feng'er
No matter how cheerful and cheerful he is on weekdays, at this moment he is still shy and confused about whether to laugh or cry. He just wants to talk but can't stop talking, and his words are incoherent and unclear.
Lei Dongtian and the other four people had never seen Feng'er as a girl, and they were all stunned for a few breaths...
Feng'er understood in an instant, her eyes moved, and she said very grandly: "It doesn't matter what we said. When the time comes, if there is a man and a woman... you three little bastards, whoever gives the best gift will be the one."
He is the number one godfather! If you want to be the godfather of my child just because of his white lips and white teeth, how can it be so cheap?"
The three of them said one after another: "Well, it's settled! Whoever gives the best gift will be the first godfather!"
Du Qingkuang laughed loudly: "These two little bastards are definitely not as rich as me!"
The other two people were unconvinced: "Gifts are the most important thing. If you don't satisfy your heart, what if you give me a mountain of purple spirit coins?"
Lei Dongtian shook his head and sighed: "The most important thing about a gift is that it is true, but if someone really gives you a mountain of purple spirit coins, who can not be tempted? Anyway, I will definitely be tempted!"
The atmosphere at this time was extremely harmonious, and Lei Dongtian, who was usually serious about his words, also joined in at the right time!
Xiao Huo and Xiao Huo both lost their voices and said: "Brother, why are you joining in the fun? Why are you such a philistine that a mountain of purple spirit coins bought you off?!"
Du Qingkuang laughed when he heard this and said: "So is a mountain of purple spirit coins enough to tempt you? Then I will definitely win. Those two boys combined are not as rich as me. Now that we are following Mr. Ye, we will definitely have a lot of money."
, a Purple Spirit Coin Mountain is just around the corner, I have reserved the title of No. 1 Godfather!"
Xiao Huo and the two retorted at each other: "Why do you make the reservation? We won't make any money. Huh, now with Mr. Ye, everyone starts at the same starting line and keeps pace. Du Laosan, don't think that you have won the position of the first godfather."
$, either Xiao or Huo, in short Xiao Huo can't escape..."
While the brothers were so noisy, Du Qingkuang could clearly feel that the haze hidden in his heart, that despicable and selfish attitude, was gradually dissipating and disappearing without a trace.
It's like a dark cloud meeting the rising sun!
Fall apart and disappear into thin air!
As these negative emotions gradually dissipated, Du Qingkuang finally felt relaxed and a lot happier.
Although, there is still a bit of sourness in my heart...
But, the whole person, the whole heart, no longer collapses, no longer hysterical, no longer wants to destroy the happiness that I can’t get but don’t want others to have.
If the person I love lives a better life than me, that is not a blessing to me!
Everyone also felt Du Qingkuang's sincere return, and they all let go of their worries.
It's finally healed, and the estrangement is finally gone.
For so many years, in fact, everyone has always had a feeling of depression in their hearts. We all know the root of the problem, but everyone is deliberately avoiding it, deliberately avoiding touching it, as if they have scruples in everything they do... But, that invisible feeling
The barrier, the unspeakable barrier, finally completely disappeared today.
"Actually, I should have a big drink today. It's the third time I'm happy. If I don't enjoy myself and get drunk, it won't make sense..." Lei Dongtian suddenly became very excited. He, who has always been the most serious, rarely proposed to get drunk.
"What are you drinking? Is drinking too much alcohol good for your health? Huh, don't drink it!" Feng'er immediately scolded her, but there was a lot of tenderness in her.
All the brothers laughed loudly: "Brother, it's so miserable. It's rare for me to invite you to a drinking party, but you are immediately banned... If you find such a fierce wife, you won't be able to endure it in the future. I'm afraid, but I don't care."
Dare to take a wife..."
Du Qingkuang also showed an exaggerated expression of fear, patted his chest and sighed: "Afraid of fear... God bless a kind man. Fortunately, Feng'er didn't marry me... How could he be so cruel... He wasn't like this before..."
Feng'er's eyebrows stood upright, she rose up with strength and chased the scumbags.
"Haha..." The laughter continued.
A voice came over: "Well, the method just now is really good. When the child is born, we will see who gives the most expensive gift and who will be the first godfather. This is not limited to the number of participants, right? Count me in.
Already."
The five people turned their heads and looked at the sound in astonishment, only to see the big head of the Lord of Black Evil approaching!
Du Qingkuang and three others burst out at the same time: "Get out! This is the business of the three of us brothers. What does it have to do with you?"
The Lord of Black Evil clasped his hands behind his back and shook his head: "The so-called "whoever sees you has a share, and who participates in it is not guilty, it depends on whether you can win against me. Being the number one godfather requires financial support, and I am the young master's number one confidant.
hehe……"
After saying that, he raised his head and left.
The three people cursed one after another, but their hearts were filled with more worries. How could a powerful enemy be added out of thin air? They heard that the Black Evil Lord had been following the Young Master for the longest time and was the most confidant. He was a powerful enemy...
…
"Meng Youjiang is willing to lead the five thousand disciples of Black Wind Mountain to join the Monarch Pavilion!" Meng Youjiang has obviously made up his mind.
When he saw Ye Xiao coming in, he opened his mouth and said this.
"Five thousand disciples!?" Ye Xiao's mouth twitched, obviously he was too surprised and shocked by this number!
It was said that there were 3,600 people that day, but today it has become 5,000 people?
Expanding so fast? Or...
But anyway,
So many subordinates came all at once?!
Looking at the soon-to-be-completed Monarch Pavilion, Ye Xiao grinned subconsciously.
The newly established Sovereign Pavilion headquarters may or may not be enough...
There were only three to four hundred people who joined the Monarch Pavilion on the spot; although only forty-eight people were treated, all the people sent by their brothers and friends also joined.
This is not a small amount; and... if another five thousand people come in immediately, it can be said that... the place will be full immediately!
Seeing Ye Xiao's expression, Meng Youjiang laughed loudly: "Master, please relax, these five thousand brothers cannot all come here, probably only a few of them will be stationed here; the original team of Black Wind Mountain,
It is still stationed in the same place and can be established as a branch of the monarch's pavilion, waiting for the prince's orders at any time."
Ye Xiaodeng immediately relaxed and said: "This method is indeed feasible. There is no need to deliberately transfer the backbone of Heifeng Mountain to Monarch Pavilion. You only need to list all the personal ability information of the original personnel in Heifeng Mountain.
All over again, and then hire people based on their talents; make the best use of their talents as the first priority, and carry out the duties that best utilize their abilities."
"Understood, these information will be sent later." Meng Youjiang nodded.
Ye Xiao rubbed his temples, truly feeling that it was really not easy for one of the forces, and he was exhausted.
The internal affairs staff that had just been recruited through Mr. Guan Tiemian over there were now running out of resources.
…
"Mr. Guan, would you like to see if there are any other available manpower?" Ye Xiao asked Guan Tiemian for advice: "It seems that there are not enough manpower."
Mr. Guan is also worried about this situation. Who would have thought that the Monarch Pavilion was only established on the first day, and it can be said to be a completely new force, but so many people came to join it? And they are all very powerful high-level cultivators.
, there were even entire second-rate forces coming to join us. This scene was really grand.
Even though Old Master Guan had seen a lot of the world in his original position, he couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded at this moment. He didn't know what response he should make.
But Mr. Guan is a person who has experienced the world for a long time. His cultivation level is not high on the one hand, but he is worldly and sophisticated, and his insight into the world is not comparable to that of many high-level cultivators. He only pondered for a moment and already understood the situation, and then said in a deep voice: "Manpower...
Of course there are, but in this regard, it depends on how big your appetite is, Master, how big you want to make...whether you can eat these people together."
Ye Xiao's eyes lit up and he said: "What exactly does Mr. Guan mean by manpower? What is the detailed number and where are they currently?"
Mr. Guan stroked his long beard on his chin and said with a smile: "This matter starts with the current incident. Due to the lifting of the ban on the City Lord's Mansion in Chaos City, once the situation changed, the City Lord's Mansion with a huge foundation also became a
Once the decoration is gone, there is no use for it anymore.”
"And naturally all the officials who were originally serving in this position were laid off and returned home."
"However, although H among this group of people does not have a few high-level cultivators, they are not lacking in other abilities, whether it is finance, government affairs, legal affairs, various related trivial responsibilities... In short, they have everything, everything is included."
"The manpower base of this group is huge. Even if we only recruit the key experts, there will be at least several thousand people."
"If we really want to bring all these people over, then the manpower recruited by the Monarch Pavilion today will be insufficient." Mr. Guan's eyes flashed with inexplicable brilliance, and he said: "The functions of these people... they were responsible for managing hundreds of millions of people.
The chaotic city..."
"As for the young master, there are only less than 10,000 people under his command..."
Ye Xiao clenched his teeth. The smile he had been smiling all day today was still a smile, but it was a bitter smile.
If you recruit all these people, it is not impossible. First of all, you have enough financial resources to support these people. If you really have no money, you only need to throw out a few pieces of metal and a few stones, and you can immediately exchange for a huge amount of money.
How many people cannot afford wealth...
Secondly, these people are not just idlers. They are capable and can contribute to the development of Monarch Pavilion. From a long-term perspective, this investment is still a good deal, at least it will not lose money!
But... is it necessary to make it so big?
After all, if we really accept all these people, would that be like building the prototype of a country?
These people are the original team members of Chaos City. With such a scale, it is too small to say that it is a national structure!
Guan Tiemian squinted his eyes and carefully watched the changes in Ye Xiao's expression; his eyes were extremely calm, and there was a vague sense of scrutiny on his face.
It seems that he is observing, testing...
Ye Xiao frowned. At this moment, he was thinking about this matter carefully and did not notice the strange look on Guan Tiemian's face.
He was seriously thinking about what he needed, what he wanted to do, and how big he wanted to be...
Mr. Guan looked at Ye Xiao's face and saw that Ye Xiao was silent for a long time and did not make a decision. A trace of disappointment quickly flashed across his eyes.
He said calmly: "Of course, if the cabinet master has considered the current situation and believes that recruiting too many people at once may cause excessive redundancy in the organization, he can also recruit only a few dozen more people, which is enough to maintain the current operations."
Ye Xiao still pondered and didn't speak, as if he didn't hear Mr. Guan's suggestion, or he didn't agree with it at all.
The look of disappointment in Mr. Guan's eyes was even worse.
You don’t even have such courage... Are you still a member of the Ye family? How can you talk about regaining glory? Could it be that my previous choice was wrong, and I actually surrendered to a master who was short-sighted, had no overall view, big mind, and big courage?
!
After a while, Ye Xiao finally took a deep breath and said: "I believe in the old man's vision. Since those people are the inherent team of Chaos City, they are at least talents who can be used... After all, there are so many years of experience
Management experience comes first…”
"Autumn falls!"
Ye Xiao gave the order.
"exist."
"You come forward to contact the Brotherhood and buy as much surrounding land as possible. Don't be stingy with money. The first priority is to expand the boundaries of the Monarch Pavilion."
"yes!"
Qiu Luo agreed, and then said hesitantly: "Young Master's idea is reasonable, but the current chaos in Chaos City has reached a certain level. Although our current scope of control is not small, it is compared to that of larger forces.
The territory is still insignificant; we currently treat the brothers as a small gang, or a business front, and we will not deliberately make things difficult. To a certain extent, we will do our best to protect..."
"But if we expand the scope without any restrictions, then we will fundamentally threaten the dominance of the Brotherhood in this area. No matter what our original intention is, the result will be like this... I believe the Brotherhood will mind,
If we are targeted by the number one force in Chaos City too early, we will probably be very sad in the future."
Ye Xiao snorted when he heard this and said: "There is indeed such a hidden worry. Our power is only newly established, and it is definitely not suitable to confront such an old brand force head-on. To change the idea, in the east, west, north and south around us, and with
Are those forces close to each other?"
"The east side has been completely occupied by the Brotherhood. It will definitely be difficult for us to do anything here. The west side is occupied by Fanyunfanyulou. They are currently in a corner. Although they are no longer expanding their territory, they are holding on to the territory they have gained. There is no gap for us to take advantage of.
At the same time, it is not advisable to provoke, for the same reason as the Brotherhood; as for the south, the Guizhen Pavilion is now being gradually cleared and the territory is being consolidated, and the evil alliance has also entered the south, southeast and southwest with great force, snatching food from the tiger's mouth, and finally the Qianshan Sword Alliance.
They are currently competing with several other sects for control of the north, which is the weakest among the four forces..."
Ye Xiao nodded and said: "We will reorganize our forces later and then choose someone who can fight."
"Adopt a strategy of gradual encroachment to encroach on the territory bit by bit from the hands of these forces!"
There was a fierce look in Ye Xiao's eyes.
"As for the people who originally belonged to the City Lord's Mansion, I want them all!" Ye Xiao took a deep breath: "I want not only those key members, but also their subordinates, I want them all!"
"Except for those who have personal conduct issues and must be eliminated, I want all the others who are willing to come! To build a complete management structure, it is not enough to just rely on key members. There must be corresponding subordinates who are responsible for trivial matters.
Bar!"
As soon as Ye Xiao said this, Mr. Guan was immediately shocked. His old eyes widened, obviously he was too surprised.
Just now he complained in his heart that he had no courage, but suddenly he had an earth-shattering courage!
