Seeing this person appear, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Sun Qiang and Pan Zhao immediately stood beside Ye Fan.
Ye Fan, on the other hand, remained calm. Looking at the old man who appeared in front of him, he cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Li, long time no see."
"In terms of seniority, you should call me Grandpa Li." Li Ming replied, a little helpless, "It's just that my brother Xiao Ye is in his twenties and a few years older than your grandfather. It doesn't seem like he is from your grandfather's generation."
"When Brother Ye said that that day, I wanted to retort a few words, but it was hard to do so."
"Then just call me Grandpa Li." Ye Fan replied, his expression still unchanged.
"You boy, you are really brave. You just said bad things about me, and now it's as if it never happened." Looking at Ye Fan's appearance, Li Ming waved his hand, not angry at all, but just looked around.
Walk around the mercenary tavern.
"It seems that your mercenary group is doing well and in good shape. What, are you planning to develop private soldiers in the future?"
"Private soldiers can't be called private soldiers, they are just some means of self-defense. After all, the undercurrent of the human race is raging. The higher-ups should be able to allow this idea of guarding." Ye Fan replied in a calm tone, "Besides, these people are a mercenary group.
We are mercenaries, we are friends fighting side by side, we are all begging for food, I treat them better, and they are willing to follow me, so what kind of private soldiers can we talk about?"
These words seemed to make Li Ming stunned for a while, and he stared at Ye Fan for a long time.
No one could answer that sentence "private soldiers" well. When it came to Ye Fan's mouth, he changed the concept without changing his expression, and he was so fluent, as if he had practiced it many times.
In such a mature world, can a fifteen-year-old child really speak?
"You..." After a while, Li Ming shook his head, "That's all, I didn't come to you to talk about private soldiers."
"King Wen sent me to find out the cause of the chaos in Yuncheng. Now, I have seen it all."
"Since Grandpa Li has seen it, he shouldn't look for me." Ye Fan nodded and just replied: "Since Kyoto sent Grandpa Li, naturally he trusts Grandpa Li. How to handle the matter is up to Grandpa Li.
"
"You kid."
Hearing these still smooth words, Li Ming had no choice but to look at the people around him, and finally waved his hand.
"Okay, your Grandpa Li is not a fool. He knows what you are thinking. Let your people go out and I will have a good talk with you."
"Okay." After hearing this, Ye Fan was not stubborn. He just nodded and nodded to Fatty Li beside him. Fatty Li understood and quickly got all the mercenaries out.
It just so happened that we also sent out a regular team to go hunting and other things to supplement the family income.
Soon, the people were cleared, and only Pan Zhao and Sun Qiang were left in the mercenary group, who were still guarding Ye Fan.
Seeing the vigilant expressions on the two people's faces, Li Ming found it a little funny, but he didn't say anything. He was silent for a while, and then spoke to Ye Fan in a deep voice.
"I already have a pretty good understanding of the situation in Yuncheng. I know the causes and consequences. I came here just to ask how you want me to deal with the situation in Yuncheng."
"How do I want Grandpa Li to handle it?" Hearing this, Ye Fan frowned, "If possible, of course I hope Grandpa Li will handle it fairly."
"Can't handle it." Li Ming replied, looking at Ye Fan with a wry smile, "Your Grandpa Li is not like your uncle. He has no private soldiers and no power. There are people standing behind these people, so they can move."
, but you said that it is basically impossible to kill them all according to the laws of the dynasty."
"It would be meaningless if you don't kill them all." Ye Fan shook his head, looked at Li Ming, paused for a while, and said: "Grandpa Li is a Glory-level powerhouse. It stands to reason that he can already establish a sect.
If we are facing the top leaders of the human race in Kyoto, why do we have to be restrained when facing the bastards in this small Cloud City?"
"no way."
Hearing this, Li Ming sighed, "The stronger a person is, the more freedom he has. On the contrary, the stronger he is, the more restrictions he has."
"Look, Brother Ye took action in Pingcheng and started a purge, which immediately aroused so much fear. It seemed glorious, but in fact, he paid a heavy price for his momentary disobedience."
"I, Li Ming, am by no means a weak person, nor will I join in the same trend with others. But with the current situation, I have to say that sometimes, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I really have no choice."
"In this way..." After hearing this, Ye Fan was slightly silent.
If he had heard Li Ming's words a few days ago, Ye Fan might have scoffed and thought it was just a hypocrite's excuse. But Jing Ling said something that day, and now that he hears it again, it makes Ye Fan have some reverie.
According to them, now, before the real chaos, there is still some time before all analysis collapses, the human race is still maintaining a superficial calm, and all the rules and regulations are still there.
These rules and regulations are gradually deteriorating, and they are not completely necrotic. They can no longer restrain those with ulterior motives, but they have a terrifying restraint on those who are truly ambitious and conscientious.
The Pingcheng dynasty was rampant and no one could control it. The dynasty organizations did what they wanted to do unscrupulously, but Ye Mou took action to eliminate it, but he had to pay a heavy price for it.
Similarly, if Li Ming wanted to take action in Yuncheng, he would not be able to escape such constraints. He could clear it all up, but he could not face the accusations from the higher-ups.
Speaking of which, this is really a strange period. Ye Fan has also seen the three kings of the human race. They are definitely not mediocre and incompetent people. Even if the emperor is far away, it is impossible not to see the chaos that is now obvious.
elephant.
There should be people involved in the top three kings of civil, military and intellectual affairs. Perhaps, they are also reaching out to promote the arrival of this great governance.
This is a long-planned rebellion. Those with ulterior motives are betting that the human race will die during the chaos, while others are looking forward to the dawn after the chaos.
Before this, they all had a tacit understanding, as if they had reached some kind of consensus. They didn't take action and did nothing. They just waited quietly and restricted anyone from interfering with the chaos.
"If that's the case, then I can probably understand." Thinking of this, Ye Fan nodded slightly and took a breath.
The deeper he investigated, the more he knew. Now, the more he couldn't help but feel frightened.
In his last life, he didn't know about the Ye family, the King of War, or the dynasty organization. He fell in the process of history and was involved in it, but in fact, he knew nothing.
This plan will last more than a hundred years in the future. Perhaps it has started since the fall of King Zhan Tian. Both those in the dynasty organization and Wu Jingtian as mentioned by Jing Ling have already made preparations for this plan.
This is not scary. The most important thing is what kind of person dares to promote such a process. The human race or the dynasty organization opposite the human race may have a truly terrifying existence behind them.
They all use the human race as a chessboard, and everyone else, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is a pawn on this chessboard.
Even the self in the previous life might just be a failed chess piece in one of their games.
This is what is really shocking.
"Perhaps, I won't be able to see the answer until the curtain is lifted." He was thoughtful and seemed to have said something nonsensical. Ye Fan did not continue to think about it, but looked at Li Ming, seeming to have made up his mind.
Determined, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Grandpa Li, you may not be able to do anything because of your limitations. Just do everything you can."
