After paying a ransom fee and leaving Yaoyue Pavilion with Ni Xue, Bai Xiaofei went straight to the Yun family.
The Imperial Guards had already left with the princes yesterday, and now the Imperial Guards did not need Bai Xiaofei's guidance. What they really needed was time.
And Bai Xiaofei also has things he needs to do now.
"You still know how to come back!"
As soon as she approached the Yun's door, Tan Xin's angry voice could be heard in the distance, but when Tan Xin rushed out, her anger instantly turned into rage.
"Don't tell me that she was entrusted to your care by the Emperor!"
After glancing at Ni Xue, Tan Xin glared at Bai Xiaofei.
"Um...well...if I said yes, wouldn't you believe it?"
After hesitating for a long time, Bai Xiaofei scratched his head in embarrassment.
"What do you think?"
Tan Xin replied with three words calmly, her tone said everything.
"This little sister is so cute! I can tell you have a close relationship with Xiao Fei as soon as I see you. The emperor gave me to him in order to bribe Xiao Fei. Little sister won't mind. I'm sure it won't affect you.
And I see you haven’t had anything to do with Xiaofei yet, maybe I can help you!”
When Ni Xue came up, she just lied to her, and what she said immediately made Tan Xin stunned.
Indeed, the progress between her and Bai Xiaofei was a bit slow. If it weren't for her thick skin, high morale, and strong aura, Tan Xin might not be able to stay with Bai Xiaofei any longer.
"Don't worry, sister definitely knows more about women than you do. I'll teach you a few tricks and you'll definitely be on top in no time!"
Seeing that Tan Xin's heart was moved, Ni Xue immediately whispered something in Tan Xin's ear. The way she whispered made Bai Xiaofei admire him.
We just met!
Is the world of women so powerful!!!
What about the promised intrigue?!
"Humph! Old man, they have been waiting for you for a long time!"
After being silent for a long time, Tan Xin actually got past the topic that was embarrassing Bai Xiaofei, snorted and turned around to leave.
Ni Xue, who had succeeded, turned around and winked at Bai Xiaofei, with such a playful look that Bai Xiaofei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What a tormenting monster!
"Let's go, don't keep the old man and the others waiting."
Bai Xiaofei didn't say anything, but just followed Tan Xin and walked over. Behind him, Ni Xue, who thought she would surprise Bai Xiaofei, pouted at Bai Xiaofei's back, with dissatisfaction written all over her face.
"Brother, you are finally back!"
In the Yun family living room, all the management-level people of the Yun family, including Yun Lan, were sitting here, and not only the Yun family, but also Lan He and the Lan family were also present.
Seeing this formation, Bai Xiaofei understood what was happening.
"Brother, such a big battle can't be just to wait for me."
To be honest, Bai Xiaofei was a little panicked. There were so many people present, and no one was younger than him. Moreover, he had Tan Xin with him, so neither of them should be here.
"Otherwise, your status is extraordinary now. It is unheard of for you to be a governor of the Imperial Guard."
Yun Tianhe said and patted Bai Xiaofei's shoulder, with a smile on his face as if he had become the warlord.
"That's enough Tianhe, I still have something serious to talk to Xiaofei."
Yun Lan interrupted Yun Tianhe's words and motioned for Bai Xiaofei to sit down at the front.
"Xiao Fei, just this morning, the Yunlan family received invitations from five princes. We have been discussing the situation of the five princes for a long time, but there has never been a common choice. If it were you, you would be more optimistic.
who?"
Bai Xiaofei had already guessed what Yun Lan was going to say, but he didn't expect the five princes to move so fast.
"Patriarch, actually, you know better than me, don't you?"
As soon as Bai Xiaofei opened his mouth, people in the entire hall reacted in a variety of ways, but most of them shook their heads and sighed.
"The Praetorian Guards will not support anyone, I can guarantee that."
Bai Xiaofei spoke again, and the eyes of the man who just shook his head and sighed suddenly lit up.
They originally thought that Bai Xiaofei had reservations about the Yun family and the Lan family if he didn't mention it, which would make the two families very uncomfortable because the support of the Imperial Guard was so important.
However, if the imperial guards do not help each other, then the Yun family and the Lan family will instantly become a hotly contested entity.
"The Praetorian Guards are not involved?! Why?!"
Yun Lan's face was filled with disbelief. In fact, he was more afraid that Bai Xiaofei had other plans.
"I will not stay in Linglong permanently. As a passer-by, I don't need what you need. What I am doing now is just to be entrusted by others and to be loyal to others. Besides, apart from this, I also
There is something else to focus on, and the Praetorian Guard is the force I need."
Not everyone understood Bai Xiaofei's explanation, but he had already said it to this point, and it was hard for people in the room to ask any more questions.
"Xiao Fei, if you were in our position, who would you support?"
At this moment, Lan Qiu Shuang spoke, with such a soft voice that Bai Xiaofei could not refuse.
After a moment of silence, Bai Xiaofei finally gave his answer.
"If I were you, I would choose someone who has already stood in the position of the emperor to think about the problem. Only such a person can lead Linglong to continue to prosper. I also believe that you know who I am referring to."
Bai Xiaofei still didn't say it clearly. As the maker of the rules, if he continued to say so, it would be unfair to others.
"Okay, don't ask any more questions, Xiaofei, you can go back and rest. You must be very tired after so many days."
There were still people in the room who wanted to continue asking questions, but Yun Lan interrupted them directly and even helped Bai Xiaofei escape.
"Thank you, senior. I'll leave that kid first."
Bai Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and after he left, Yun Lan became the focus of everyone's attention.
"Clan leader, do you have any ideas?"
As someone asked, Yun Lan's expression became serious.
"I have decided that the Yun family will support the eldest prince!"
As soon as Yun Lan made the decision, discussions started to spread, especially among the Lan family members. They obviously had different views on this matter.
"Brother Yun Lan, although the eldest prince is the oldest and is the emperor's son-in-law, the emperor has not interfered in the government affairs for a long time. It is difficult to use interpersonal relationships that are not maintained by profit at this time."
The current head of the Lan family, Lan Mingtang, Lan He's eldest son, had thought of everything he could think of before coming to the Yun family, but he couldn't come up with a specific plan because he felt that it was too difficult to choose between these princes.
.
"As you all heard just now, I am willing to believe little brother Bai, and according to his words, the eldest prince is the best choice. I also firmly believe that the eldest prince can do all this well!"
Yun Lan said categorically, looking ready to continue the debate with everyone present.
"I agree with Yun Lan!"
At this time, Lan He, who had not spoken before, suddenly spoke, and the discussion in the room suddenly fell silent.
“We are not only doing this for ourselves, but for the entire Linglong
, from this perspective, the eldest prince is the best choice!"
Lan He continued to speak, and no one dared to raise objections.
The relationship between Lan He and the Emperor is not a secret in the Imperial Capital, so his words can easily be understood as the Emperor's meaning.
But in fact, Lan He, like Yun Lan, dared to say this for only one reason.
Out of trust in Bai Xiaofei!
Moreover, they all firmly believed that they understood Bai Xiaofei's words correctly.
But what they didn't know was that Bai Xiaofei was actually not pointing at anyone!
"Who did you choose?"
After walking out, Tan Xin asked Bai Xiaofei with curiosity, and Bai Xiaofei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Actually, I don't know who to choose. Each of these princes has their own strengths, and because of the agreement reached between them, no matter who becomes the emperor, Linglong will not collapse. It's just who
We can only do better, and in this regard, unless the five of them are allowed to take turns being emperor for a period of time, no one can decide who is better."
Bai Xiaofei said lightly, and the curiosity on Tan Xin's face was immediately replaced by surprise.
"Then you said that just now! Even I thought you had already chosen someone, let alone them!"
Tan Xin's surprise was completely expected by Bai Xiaofei, because if it were him, he would be surprised as well.
"In terms of understanding these princes, big families like the Yun family and the Lan family definitely have a deeper understanding than I do. Therefore, I just gave them an introduction, an introduction that allows them to choose a more suitable introduction for Linglong. I believe that Ping Yun
The strength of the Jiahe Lan family can definitely help someone rise to power."
Bai Xiaofei explained again, and Tan Xin nodded.
"Let's go, we still have things to do."
Putting down the topic, Bai Xiaofei walked straight into the city, while Tan Xin became confused again.
"What else?"
Two steps later, Tan Xin asked.
"Puppet."
The one who answered was not Bai Xiaofei, but Ni Xue who had been silent all this time.
"Puppet?! Is she right?"
Tan Xin didn't really believe in Ni Xue, but she soon got Bai Xiaofei's approval. For a moment, Tan Xin couldn't help but feel disappointed.
He is no better than the person who just appeared next to Bai Xiaofei!
"However, there is no breakthrough in the matter of human puppets at all now. Don't tell me that you got news about human puppets during those few days in the imperial capital."
Unwilling to admit defeat, Tan Xin spoke again, and Bai Xiaofei shrugged and shook his head.
"No, the number of people I came into contact with in the palace was very limited, and among the people I came into contact with, I didn't think anyone would be related to the human puppet."
After Bai Xiaofei finished speaking, Ni Xue took over the words and convinced Tan Xin directly.
"It is unrealistic to solve the human puppet issue now. However, during the period of fighting for the Great Emperor, we must ensure that the human puppets will not come out to cause trouble. In other words, what we need to do now is not to eliminate the human puppets, but to prepare for them.
!”
Ni Xue said lightly, and Tan Xin looked at her and was stunned.
she……
Did you really just meet Bai Xiaofei?!
"Okay, it's time to get to work. This time, it's a big project!"
Ignoring the conversation between the two, Bai Xiaofei walked to the street and took a deep breath, then Xiao Hei jumped off his shoulder...
