"Advisors are very good at diplomacy and mediation?" Chen Tian just maintained his momentum and spent a lot of effort. Now he has only taken a boat and walked less than a hundred steps out of Wuwan, and his face is as pale as a sheet.
He looked at Weng Lian and said doubtfully: "Not only did the seniors tease me about joining the strategist family, but even Wong Tai Sin said it just now."
However, before Weng Lian could respond, Liu Yiyi took over the conversation on her own, waving her hand to signal him to paddle the boat slowly, and wiping the cold sweat from Chen Tian's temples:
"When anger makes the princes fearful, peace brings peace to the world."
"This is the way of the mediators. Do you think they are good at mediating?"
"That is indeed powerful, and its reputation spreads far and wide." Chen Tian nodded slightly, knowing that among the hundreds of schools of thought, only the political strategists could stir up the storm.
But then again.
In fact, Taoism also has such earth-shattering power, but Taoism has never cared about the mortal world. Only in troubled times will they go down the mountain to turn the tide.
Lingyun Temple, which originally used Tianzhu Peak as its headquarters, ended up suffering the tragedy of its division's decline precisely because it went north to Yanshan to resist the Snowfield Dog Rong.

"Oh, by the way, isn't Mr. Shang on duty in Yongtai City?" Weng Lian stood on the bow of the boat, raising his poles to support the boat, "You have heard of Nie Qing, right?"
Of course Chen Tian had heard of it.
This person sneaked into Yongtai City anonymously, and secretly inspected Jixia Academy for three or four months. Then he won the top spot in the Tianban Ranking in Qiuwei, and was finally transferred to Makino Wubao as the county magistrate.
Later, when he had a decisive battle with the Five Shadow Elders, it was he who used the technique of looking at Qi to cover his own aura, so that the Five Shadow Elders could never figure out his level of cultivation.
It has to be said that Nie Qing was indispensable for the Five Shadow Elders being forced to self-destruct.
However, Chen Tian did not interact with Nie Qing for too long. They only had a few drinks with him at the treasure ship celebration banquet.
So when it comes to Nie Qing's personal abilities, Chen Tian only thinks that he speaks well and has lofty ideas. As for his proud swordsmanship, he hasn't had the chance to witness it with his own eyes.
But now that Weng Lian asked about Nie Qing, Chen Tian couldn't deal with it, otherwise the identity of the commander of the Yongtai Army's personal guard might be exposed.
"Nie Qing?"
"I have indeed seen him. He is very humble. It is no exaggeration to call him a gentleman."
"The eldest disciple of the Strategist Family -" Weng Lian thought about Nie Qing's identity and said with emotion, "He revealed his identity and defected to Yongtai City. Your city lord must be extremely happy, right?"
"Oh? Why did you say that?" Chen Tian was a little surprised.
From the beginning to the end, he never felt Nie Qing's effectiveness in reversing his desperate situation, and he also believed that no matter how strong a person was, there was a limit, and in the end he had to rely on all living beings.
As strong as the Five Shadow Elders, he still has to rely on the 700,000 Yin clan's coalition forces, otherwise the Yongtai army's simultaneous charge will definitely seriously injure him.
"The Zongheng family only recruits two disciples for each generation. If you pick one at random, you will be the best among them. Since Fu Hong worships under the Cangxi Yin family, Nie Qing will definitely become his enemy." Liu Yiyi explained.
"But looking at the world, who can compete with the Cangxi Yin family? After many choices, Nie Qing finally fell in love with Yongtai City."
"This move undoubtedly proves that Yongtai City is strong enough and worthy of Guiguzi's bets. Then doesn't your city lord have reason to be filled with joy?"
Hear this.
Chen Tian suddenly realized.
It turns out that Liu Yiyi and Weng Lian were envious that they had climbed to a high branch. If they had a choice, they would not keep an eye on the situation in Makino and try to save the soldiers so as to get on the Yongtai City's chariot.
The night is already dark.
The lanterns of Gusu City are starting to light up.
Both sides of the water alley were as bright as day, bursts of laughter could be heard from the luxurious rowboats, and the aroma of wine and meat drifted ten miles along with the night wind.
Underneath the shadows of people, the water surface is swaying, and Chen Tian rides a black-topped boat across it, as if he is swimming in the middle of a painting.
"Miss Liu."
"Um?"
"What is your relationship with Gu Zhi?" Chen Tian asked suddenly, "I heard what Huang Tai Sin said implicitly. He was once your killer and spy?"
After the words fell, the pole in Weng Lian's hand trembled slightly, and Liu Yiyi frowned deeply and pondered for a long time.
She used the swaying lights on the shore to stare closely at Chen Tian's face, but she didn't see the slightest clue in the dull expression: "May I ask Mr. Shang why he suddenly asked about this matter?"
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually." Chen Tian waved his hand, "Since Miss Liu doesn't want to answer, just pretend I didn't ask."
Liu Yiyi's face tightened, knowing that she couldn't hide it from Chen Tian, and he must have already made up his mind.
If no explanation is given, there will definitely be a rift in the cooperative relationship between the two, so she quickly said:
"Gu Zhi is an intelligence agency founded by me. Apart from being affiliated with Yongtai Ghost Lantern and the Yin Clan Governor's Hall, Gu Zhi is the most well-informed place in Cangxi's northern region."
"As for rescuing Mr. Shang from the water."
"It's also the result of solitary weaving all over the eyeliner."
Chen Tian frowned and immediately realized that what Yang Niang said was true. She and Liu Yiyi co-founded the Hehuan Sect. Later, Liu Yiyi walked down Tianzhu Peak and joined Gusu City. This lineage of Hehuan Sect then evolved into Guzhi.
intelligence agency.
After all, the Luo family, the lord of Gusu City, is a kind of thing that can't be built up by mud. If Liu Yiyi doesn't spare the energy to build her own power, she will probably be wiped out by the Lin Ye family.
"So, most of the singers and dancers on Zhangtai Road are actually Gu Zhi's spies?"
"That's right."
"Who is Gu Zhi loyal to?" Chen Tian looked around and saw many female relatives welcoming and sending off.
It was hard for him to imagine how shocked those pot-bellied dignitaries would be if they learned that the pretty women around them were actually secret agents hiding under their pillows.
"Allegiance? Gu Zhi has always only valued money. Whoever bids the highest price will get whatever information he wants," Liu Yiyi said seriously.
"So straightforward and unpretentious?" Chen Tian was stunned and added, "Or are you short of money?"
"There is a shortage, and I can't wait to rob Ancheng Bank directly." Liu Yiyi shrugged and said frankly, but her free and easy expression had not faded. She sighed again, "Building a paradise for plant elves and water monsters will cost a lot and the road will be long.
ah."
Chen Tian looked at the shrimp soldiers and crab generals swimming at the stern of the boat, and said calmly: "This road is destined to be difficult."
"So what? I have persisted for three thousand years, can I still give up?" Liu Yiyi kicked off her shoes and socks, sat on the edge of the boat and swayed her legs. The river water immediately rippled under the light of the lanterns.
"No wonder Miss Liu is so important to Dai Guishan's feng shui spring that she risked her life to go to the appointment alone."
"Mr. Shang, do you have anything else to say?" Liu Yiyi washed away the blood from her feet, and the awning boat just docked. Xiao Li stood on the trestle with a lantern, looking forward to it.
Of course Chentian knew about Liu Yiyi's passing through Wong Tai Sin, and had already had a premonition that there was a traitor in the Guzhi headquarters. With so many people watching, it was naturally difficult to say some things.
"If Miss Liu has time, she might as well go to Yongtai City to visit relatives. My sister Liu Guxue has made a lot of achievements in Zhiyuan Hall in Shanglinyuan. It can be regarded as a paradise."
"Living under someone else's roof, relying on others to breathe, can An be considered a paradise?" Liu Yiyi did not appreciate it, and waved her hand to summon Xiao Li, "Send Mr. Shang back to his room to rest. No one else is allowed to disturb Mr. Shang's rest without my order."
"As ordered." Xiao Li answered with a lantern.
But just when she was about to step forward to help Chen Tian, she heard him say that it was better to help your Immortal Lord first. Xiao Li looked back without knowing why, and in the next moment, she suddenly saw Liu Yiyi falling to the ground, almost knocking over the lantern.
