Judging from Shen Kuohai's shocked expression, Xia Yu knew that he had believed Qiao Xiaopang's words. At this time, he naturally couldn't tell the truth. What he had to do now was to fool Shen Kuohai. Then take the good things he gave and run away quickly!
Qiao Xiaopang gradually brought the topic to Xia Yu's refusal to be recruited by the General's Mansion, naturally in order to make Shen Kuohai less angry. After all, no matter how good Snow Eagle Castle is, compared with the General's Mansion, it is still inferior. Far away. No matter how powerful Shen Kuohai is, there is still a substantial gap compared to General Su Lie.
Xia Xia Yu cupped his hands towards Shen Kuohai and said, "Little Fatty is right, I did reject the general's kindness!"
"Why?" Shen Kuohai blurted out.
Xia Yu was silent for a moment and said: "It's for freedom! I long for unrestrained days, and I feel very comfortable being a ranger! I have no pursuit of power, so no matter how powerful the General's Mansion is, it doesn't mean anything to me. .As for the martial arts and martial arts, my best weapon is bow and arrow, so it is enough for me to only practice the martial arts and martial arts related to bow and arrow. Bow and arrow are already broad and profound, and my energy is limited, so I have no time to take care of them."
Shen Kuohai stared deeply at Xia Yu and then suddenly said: "Yu Wenxia, do you know what kind of opportunity you rejected? Do you know that you had the opportunity to reach the sky in one step?"
Xia Yu smiled slightly and said: "It is not necessarily a good thing to reach the sky in one step. The so-called nine-story platform starts from the foundation. As a human being, it is better to move forward step by step and climb step by step. If the foundation is not strong, the higher you climb, the harder you will fall. , and this risk requires me to pay the price of my freedom, so it’s not worth it.”
Shen Kuohai was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "What a nine-story tower starting from the base of the earth! Yu Wenxia, Yu Wenxia, I didn't expect you to have such knowledge at such a young age! Since you think the threshold of the General's Mansion is too high, I But I can promise you that after entering my Snow Eagle Castle, I will still let you move at your own pace and will never interfere with you! As for freedom! My Snow Eagle Castle is really not a place with many rules!"
Xia Yu cupped his hands and said regretfully: "I'm so sorry, Lord Shen's kindness is appreciated. I know Lord Shen can do what he says, but once I join Snow Eagle Castle, I will be a member of Snow Eagle Castle , even if Master Shen gives me absolute freedom, from the moment I join, I will be a member of Snow Eagle Castle, and I must bear the responsibility of being a disciple of Snow Eagle Castle! If I am only allowed to enjoy the favor of Master Shen without I cannot forgive myself for taking on the responsibilities that a disciple should have! Rather than putting myself in a dilemma then, it is better not to take that step now! Lord Shen, as the saying goes, everyone has his own ambitions, please save our brothers for your sake. For Miss Shen’s sake, please don’t force us brothers, okay?”
Shen Kuohai's face was as dark as a rippleless lake on a cloudy day, and the entire banquet hall was immersed in a depressing atmosphere.
Qiao Xiaopang looked at Shen Kuohai nervously, fearing that he would take action in anger. He wanted to say something to lighten the atmosphere, but just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Xia Yu's eyes. Qiao Xiaopang sighed secretly, and Knowing that there is no point in saying anything now, whether the two of them can leave safely depends on Shen Kuohai's thoughts.
The depressing atmosphere lasted for nearly a cup of tea. Shen Kuohai suddenly laughed and patted Xia Yu on the shoulder, "Yu Wenxia, you are very good, very good! Since you have made up your mind, Shen will not give in." What a shame! Come on, drink! Drink!”
Wei Ran on the side rolled his eyes and saw that Shen Kuohai must have other plans, so he laughed loudly and said loudly: "That's right! Drink, drink! Young Master Yuwen, Young Master Qiao, I'll give you a toast!"
The banquet returned to a lively atmosphere, as if the depression just now was an illusion, but neither Xia Yu nor Qiao Xiaopang dared to relax. Shen Kuohai's words were quite vague. He just said that he would not be wordy now. Coming down?
After Shen Kuohai drank a few glasses of wine, he left the banquet hall. Wei Ran quickly followed and asked in a low voice: "Fortress Master, is this all?"
"What else can we do otherwise?" Shen Kuohai smiled, "What an arrogant little guy! He doesn't even give him the respect of a general! But... he is quite honest. For the sake of being honest, he simply doesn't come into my house. That's all... Since you are so disrespectful, it's not like our Snow Eagle Castle is really short of the two of them! You can entertain them well for a few days, then prepare enough gifts and send them off!"
Although Shen Kuohai said this, Wei Ran could see that he was very unwilling to do so. Wei Ran said in a low voice: "Fort Master, I suddenly have an immature idea. I hope that the Fortress Master can give me some details."
"Don't be pretentious, just say what you have to say!" Shen Kuohai said in a deep voice.
"Although the general personally recruited Yu Wenxia, but..." Wei Ran whispered, "He just asked someone to take the lead. Even though he promised a lot of benefits, Yu Wenxia has never seen him! If I were Yu Wenxia , I’m afraid I will wonder, if I really enter the General’s Mansion, will the promised benefits really be fulfilled? After all, everything you don’t get is empty! Yu Wenxia is just a yellow-ranked boy, the General’s If he goes back on his word, he will go back on his word, what can he do?"
Shen Kuohai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded slowly, "What you said makes sense! No promise is as convincing as the benefits! Let's do this, entertain them both well and try not to let them leave. Just give it! At the same time, closely monitor their every move, and notify me immediately if you notice any change in their attitude!"
"Fortmaster, what if..."
"Luo Yan's injury is not serious. I will always be here until she recovers!" Shen Kuohai said, "If Luo Yan's injury is healed and they are still unwilling to stay, then don't force it anymore! You can make arrangements!"
"Yes!" Wei Ran cupped his hands, turned and left.
…
In the room where Shen Luoyan was, a maid and two maids were changing her dressing and scrubbing her body.
This maid and the two maids are all from Yehuling Branch. Shen Kuohai and his party got the news and rushed to rescue Shen Luoyan. It was impossible to bring servants to serve, so those who are now responsible for taking care of Shen Luoyan are all He's the person in charge of Yehuling's helm.
The servant woman who worked at the Yehuling Branch was an old man, her surname was Qin, and everyone usually called her Aunt Qin. She gently applied medicine to Shen Luoyan's wound, and carefully bandaged it for her. After taking a breath, he said: "Okay, Miss, the old servant will come back tomorrow to change your dressing. Please be careful, this wound cannot be exposed to water."
