"Sir, Mr. Watch, you didn't inform me in advance when you came to Feiyun Castle, but let my little sister not go out to greet you. It's really rude!"
Before anyone arrived, a clear voice came first. Ye Cheng showed a smile on his face and looked towards the door. Sure enough, after a burst of light footsteps, Bai Chenlu floated in wearing a pink dress and a high corset. It forms a beautiful figure. Although the beautiful legs are hidden in the skirt, it still gives people an extremely tall look.
Bai Chenlu had a relaxed smile on her face, unable to hide her happiness at all. She also put away the long braids that she liked in the past, and tied them into a flower-like pattern on her head, which was decorated with gold hairpins and silver ornaments. Her cheeks were bare-faced, without any makeup. Rouge and gouache, but still radiant and gorgeous.
Ye Cheng stood up and said with a smile: "Miss Bai, whom I haven't seen for a few days, has become much more beautiful. I'm really shocked!"
Listening to Ye Cheng's bragging, Bai Chenlu lightly covered her red lips and said with a smile: "Young Master is still so fond of joking. If you behave like this, I'm afraid no daughter will be willing to follow you in the future!"
Ye Cheng laughed and said: "Young man, I have to congratulate Miss Bai first. The date has finally been set. In the future, Feiyun Castle and Wushuang City will be able to join forces and stand tall in Bashu in no time!"
Bai Chenlu nodded lightly, without mentioning the marriage, and asked: "Young Master came to Feiyun Castle this time just to compliment me? My father is still accompanying the guests, so I will entertain you two first. If anything happens, just tell me!"
Ye Cheng nodded and said: "Feiyun Castle cannot do without the lady as its host. She is already fully capable of taking charge of her own business. In the future, when she joins the government office of Wushuang City, she will definitely become a good hand!"
Bai Chenlu nodded and said, "I guess the young master must be here for Feiyuntang's affairs!"
Ye Cheng praised: "Miss, you can guess the right thing with your divination!"
Bai Chenlu rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile: "Master, please don't show off like this anymore. My little sister will be really embarrassed. It's better to talk about business!"
Ye Cheng said to Dafeng Qixi: "Brother Dafeng, we should say hello to the fort master when we come, so I'll excuse you!"
Dafeng Qixi nodded, knowing that what they were talking about might be confidential, so he immediately stood up and said, "I'm going out to get some fresh air, and say hello to the future uncle of Feiyun Castle!"
Ye Cheng looked at the door that was closed smoothly, turned to look at Bai Chenlu, and said solemnly: "The four largest gangs besides the Brotherhood have joined forces and issued an ultimatum, prohibiting the Brotherhood from intervening in Feiyuntang's capture of Meizhou this time. thing!"
"What?" Bai Chenlu's face froze, he sat down slowly, frowning and said: "This matter must have been leaked, and the vassals of Tianxiahui have also contributed to it, and they must have promised a lot of benefits to these people. , otherwise they wouldn’t be so willing to offend the Brotherhood and go against us!”
Ye Cheng's eyes lit up. He looked at Bai Chenlu's expression when he was thinking. He couldn't help but notice that his eyes flashed from time to time while he was thinking. He held his chin slightly with his hands and murmured in his mouth. Occasionally, he thought of something wrong. With her lips down, she even looks cute, but she doesn't look like a young lady who manages tens of thousands of people.
"Hey, what are you looking at!"
Only then did Ye Cheng come back to his senses. He looked at Bai Chenlu, who looked cute and angry, and pretended to frown and said, "I'm thinking about something!"
Bai Chenlu put down her hands, looked at him directly, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? Let me hear it!"
Ye Cheng felt really uncomfortable when she saw him like this. He coughed dryly, glanced away and said, "Actually, I came here to tell you that the original plan remains unchanged!"
Bai Chenlu just wanted to make fun of him, but his expression suddenly changed. After a while, he sighed and shook his head: "I should have gone to your place to talk to them about this matter. Wushuang City has already said hello to Tianxiahui, and I won't do it again in the future."
Feiyun Castle will embarrass us and will not touch the three states under our jurisdiction, and my father has already promised Wushuang City, you know that the person coming this time is not just Dugu Ming!"
"Oh?" Ye Cheng frowned and said, "Could it be that his father is here too?"
Bai Chenlu nodded slightly and said: "If they hadn't agreed to our conditions, how could I have easily agreed to the engagement? It's just me, Feiyun Castle, who is responsible for the Brotherhood's losses. When they go back, I will definitely come to apologize in person!"
Ye Cheng sighed silently and said softly: "If this is the best for Feiyun Castle, but the Brotherhood is going to be in bad shape, maybe there won't be any big news at the moment, but in the future, the few vassals of the World Alliance will
I must ask you not to support the Brotherhood!"
Bai Chen said in a loud voice: "You don't have to worry about this. Although our Feiyun Castle did something wrong this time, the alliance with the Brotherhood will not change. It will always exist as an alliance!"
Ye Cheng shook his head, thought for a while and then said: "When you marry into Wushuang City, I'm afraid there will be no one to manage Feiyun Castle. The old man is addicted to martial arts. In less than three years, Wushuang City will take over Feiyun Castle."
affairs, then the Brotherhood will have nothing to do!"
"this--"
Ye Cheng was very worried. He didn't expect that things would turn out like this. The seemingly tyrannical Brotherhood was already on the edge of the cliff. Without the help of Feiyun Castle, the four families would probably join forces to attack immediately.
Even if the Brotherhood cannot win over the Brotherhood for a while, the Brotherhood will not have much room for development in the future. When the power of the Tianxiahui grows stronger, the Brotherhood will be destroyed.
"If I borrow someone from you, it's up to you whether I can do it or not!"
Ye Cheng stared at Bai Chenlu closely and asked extremely seriously.
"Why!"
Bai Chenlu sighed slightly, stretched out her hand to gently caress the cheek that was so close to her. She was still as leisurely and contented as before, and said with a resentful look on her face: "Did you know that my father went to the Brotherhood to look for you that day just to see you? He
I really want to get to know you as a person, and I even want to take you into Feiyun Castle and help me manage Feiyun Castle, but it’s a pity that it’s too late!”
Ye Cheng trembled slightly. He didn't expect that there were so many stories in it. His body softened and he fell down on the stool. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You should know, that's impossible! Right now, the only thing I can do for the Brotherhood is
All we have to do is make the last line of effort!”
Bai Chenlu said softly: "I don't understand. You have always refused to join the Brotherhood, but you have always worked so hard for them. There is no benefit at all. Why do you have to work so hard? With your strength, you can live freely in the world.
Or find a big sect to join, why bother working so hard?"
Ye Cheng looked at the confused look on the face of the person in front of him and said softly: "When I arrived in Chengdu City, Ghost Hands saved me when I was in the most difficult time. Although I didn't get along with them much, I know
They are all good-natured people, and they also care about me very much, and they regard me as a brother. At that time, I thought that I would definitely do something to strengthen the brotherhood in the future! And I like getting along with them very much, maybe
For a homeless person, that place is actually my home!"
He changed his posture and lay half on the chair, and then said: "I like to see them laughing and laughing. Those brothers have also regarded the Brotherhood as their home. I don't want them to be homeless like me. I don't care about this."
I will give up, I must find a way to prevent these things from happening!"
"Is it worth it?" Bai Chenlu stood up, walked slowly to his side, squatted down, gently held Ye Cheng's broad palm and said, "Do you think these things are worth it? It's because you have paid a lot.
If it weren't for your intervention, the Brotherhood would have ceased to exist, let alone form an alliance with Feiyun Castle because of you, let alone have the opportunity to grow to the extent it does now!"
"It's worth it!" Ye Cheng shook his hands vigorously and said firmly: "In my eyes, it's all worth it! But for you, is it worth it? After all, with the strength of the old man, even if you give up the land of the three states, you can defend it well.
It's enough to live your whole life with this Feiyun Castle, why sacrifice your life's happiness!"
A smile overflowed from Bai Chenlu's lips, and she said softly: "You are finally willing to care about me! I'm so happy!"
Ye Cheng shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, you should know my identity. We outsiders can't give you happiness. Even so, you don't have to wrong yourself. Will they take your sacrifice for them into consideration? They and their brothers
The people in the alliance are different!"
Bai Chenlu pulled his big hand in front of her, put it gently on her face, shook her head and said: "Maybe this is responsibility, and the dignity of my Feiyun Castle!"
"Hey! We are all people who can't help ourselves!"
The two of them just said nothing, quietly enjoying the tranquility of this moment.
Not long after, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the house, and the sound of a random strong wind sounded: "Brother Watchman, the old castle master said that he wants to invite you to come over and have a chat!"
Ye Cheng then gently patted Bai Chenlu, stood up slowly, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Dafeng Qixi looked at Ye Cheng strangely, the smile on his face was a bit complicated, but even a man would understand it, and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Ye Cheng followed Bai Chenlu and slowly entered the main hall, too lazy to pay attention to the strong wind. The more you explain some things, the easier it is to be misunderstood. Sometimes silence is also a good weapon.
The hall is extremely open, with a large red carpet about ten feet wide spread on the ground in the middle, leading all the way to the depths of the hall. On both sides are dozens of stone pillars with two people hugging each other, with lifelike dragons and tigers carved on them.
While Ye Cheng was still looking around, he heard Bai Chenlu laughing and saying, "Father, the watchman is already here!"
"Haha! Today I want to take a good look at this outstanding person and what kind of powerful character he is!"
An unusually thick voice echoed in the hall.
A smile overflowed from the corner of Ye Cheng's mouth. He followed the voice and saw a sturdy middle-aged man standing on the high platform. His thick eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were even more restrained, but he seemed to be returning the favor.
Like an unsheathed sword, the smile on his face diluted a little of his arrogance.
The coarse linen clothes he wears do not have the luxury of an overlord at all, but give people the feeling of a master who has not been born for a long time. The immovable momentum gives Ye Cheng an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if this man can give people thunder at any time.
