Chapter 29 (Li Li Branch Line)

Li Li seldom drank alcohol, and this time he drank heavily with him on business, and he had already run out of money.But even if the internal force struggle was quite effective, Li Li was still so drunk that his steps were stilted and his mind was in a daze.At this moment, he was drunk and worried, and he didn't have the ability to deal with everything around him half-truths and half-fakes like before. All he thought about was his life experience, his hatred, and his little leaf.

But how did Xue Yue know about the fluctuations in his heart at this moment?She saw him walking staggeringly, showing his drunken state, and a mask was pushed loose by him to one side of his face, revealing most of his pale and thin face, with an expression of indifference and indifference.She couldn't help feeling a little pity in her heart.It was the first time I saw Li Li's real face, and I didn't expect that this stubborn and shy boy was quite upright in appearance, with a bit of the character of a scholar of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Just as she was thinking, suddenly Li Li couldn't stand still and bumped into him.She supported him instinctively, and his alcohol smell stained her sleeves, causing her heart to throb suddenly.She grew up in Yunzhong City, and she has seen many bold men, and she has developed a temper that doesn't stick to trifles.But at this moment, for some reason, she was not as natural as usual, but a little nervous.

Li Li had never drank so much wine before, and it was inevitable that he would not walk steadily.But as soon as Xue Yue supported him, he suddenly became sensitive, and gently moved his arms away, refusing to be supported by Xue Yue, and insisted on walking by himself through gritted teeth.

Xue Yue was worried about him, thinking that he was embarrassed, so she took the initiative to hold his arm again.But he didn't want to be thrown away by Li Li again.Li Li climbed unsteadily on the railing of trees beside the road, and walked forward step by step, ignoring Xue Yue.

This move was clearly intended to embarrass himself.Xue Yue was quite dissatisfied, but it was inconvenient for Li Li to join the gang at the beginning, so she just said coldly: "You just know where to go, do you know where to go?"

Li Li stopped and didn't look back, and said from his lips: "Don't worry about it."

No matter how well-bred, ordinary people can't bear this repeated rejection, let alone the always arrogant Xue Yue.

"Mr. Yeli, I respect you as a chivalrous man, but it doesn't mean that you can ignore my good intentions again and again. Since you are already a member of Yunzhong City, you are my subordinate and must obey my orders. If you respect me, I will I will also respect you. If you don't give me face, I will naturally follow the rules."

Suddenly hearing Li Liha's strange laugh, turning around, the smile was indifferent and blunt: "Thank you Miss Xue for recommending cultivation, Yeli has no teeth and never forgets the girl's kindness. He will be useful in the future, Yeli, as a member of Yunzhongcheng But Ye Li just wants to be quiet for a while now. It’s late at night, men and women can’t get close, the girl is staying in the boudoir, it’s inconvenient to see each other, please go back.”

She couldn't see the fluctuation in her heart, only the corner of Xue Yue's mouth twitched: "Excellent." She turned around and walked back, never looking at Li Li again.Seeing her turn around and leave, Li Li felt rather irritable, and didn't want to find any wing room, so he walked to a gazebo by himself, leaned against the courtyard pillars, and fell asleep gently.

Li Li stayed at Xue Yang's place for almost a month.During this month, as a new force in Cloud City, Li Li has received the attention of countless people.Many people knew about Li Li's heroic efforts to save the beauty and fight against Yelu Xiye, and they couldn't help but praise his martial arts. He became famous and naturally attracted many people who are good at martial arts to challenge him.Of course, because Li Li is too indifferent and unruly, naturally many people don't like his character, and from time to time they use the name of martial arts to provoke fights.

Li Li knew that his status was not high, and he didn't want to make too many enemies. Even if those people put swords on Li Li's neck, Li Li didn't bother to fight with them.Although the disciples of Yunzhong City are a bit arrogant, they are mostly first-class heroes in the world after all. No matter how unconvinced everyone is, they still want to leave half a leeway for their friendship. After all, Li Li has no serious crimes. All the punishments with swords were not done by the disciples of Yunzhong City.

In view of Li Li's mysterious life experience, some people have secretly investigated who he is.But Li Li himself does not have any wealthy background, plus he deliberately concealed it, all investigations about him always started with curiosity and ended up fruitless.Amidst the divergent opinions, Li Li has become a legend shrouded in halo. Some people say that it is miraculous, while others scoff at it and feel that it has no practical knowledge.

Xue Yue, who recommended Li Li to enter Cloud City, remained silent.Except for providing Li Li with food and clothing as usual, she didn't care about the rest, contrary to her enthusiasm for recommending Li Li that day.

Most of the disciples in Cloud City are men, even if there are a few women, their way of thinking is quite secular.Seeing that Xue Yue's attitude towards Li Li is very different before and after, and he doesn't know what's inside, he can't help but put the relationship between the two on the relationship between a man and a woman.Everyone has gossip lovers, but when subordinates talk about their boss's affair, which is a taboo thing, they can only chat privately with three or five people after dinner at the wine table, and no one dares to bring it up for open discussion.As for dealing with Li Li, that's even more sensitive.

Therefore, a person like Li Li with a self-discipline and a sensitive identity naturally doesn't have many friends to communicate with him about important matters in the gang.Fortunately, Li Li was born in a family of merchants. Although he lived a good life since he was a child, he has learned a little bit of the ability to observe words and emotions. For general affairs information, he can roughly infer the situation by only listening to a few words of rumors. The post station communicates with Xingzhuang, and I don't often stay in Xingzhuang, so my life is still decent.

Li Li's every move was watched by Xue Yang.Xue Yang has read countless people and knows people well. Although there are many rumors about Li Li's gossip, they are all unfounded, trivial matters, and cannot affect Xue Yang's judgment.The only thing that worried Xue Yang was Li Li's succession.He also sent his cronies to the rivers and lakes to investigate, but they all failed.Xue Yang was busy with affairs on weekdays, so he didn't want to follow and monitor a small messenger.As long as Li Li didn't make any serious mistakes, he would just turn a blind eye.

In the past few days, Li Li has completed all the tasks that Xue Yang assigned to Li Li neatly.Seeing that Li Li was able to do things with his own eyes, Xue Yang was very satisfied in his heart.Occasionally, I heard people around me talk about the scandal between Li Li and Xue Yue, although I felt a little unhappy.But as early as Xue Yue's childhood, Xue Yang made a marriage alliance with Yang Yizhao's parents.Moreover, my beloved daughter and Yang Yizhao's childhood sweetheart are also in love with each other.Even if Yang Yizhao is romantic and affectionate, he is the owner of the Liren Pavilion after all. He is upright in face, well-connected, and his appearance matches his beloved daughter.In contrast, Li Li is just a commoner in the world, with no power and no appearance, and his temper is cold and arrogant.My beloved daughter was spoiled and spoiled, so how could there be any sparks with this iceberg wood.

However, Yang Yizhao's whereabouts have been erratic in recent years, and he has always been inclined to the Chuangshi Building, Xue Yang has long been dissatisfied.It can be seen that the selection of Ling Yan's servant is approaching, and the Chuangshi Building's power grab is rampant. In order to consolidate Yunzhongcheng's position in the Tianwang Gang, it is inevitable that the hard-working daughter will charge forward in the power struggle in the officialdom.If this is the case, it will be disadvantageous if my daughter has any entanglements with Yang Yizhao.He had the intention to terminate this early marriage contract, but he was concerned about his daughter's feelings, and he didn't want to speak out publicly.It just so happens that Mr. Yeli has such an affair with his beloved daughter, which can be used as a temporary smoke screen, so Xue Yang just let it develop without expressing it.

Regarding the selection of Shang Lingyan's servant, although Li Li is a newcomer, he has heard a lot of news and knows that this is a major event in Yunzhong City recently.He inquired secretly, and found out that it was a woman surnamed Xia who was on the candidate list of servants to be selected in Yunzhong City.The Xia family in Yunzhong City had a marriage with the Zhaoyin court, so their daughter was also cultivated since childhood, with extraordinary grace.The Xia family is also an active candidate, and seems to be determined to win the championship in one fell swoop.

However, as the day of the selection of the servants draws nearer, Li Li overhears Xue Yang accidentally revealing that he intends to let Xue Yue represent Yunzhongcheng in the election.He understood that the Xia family's selection was just a smoke screen for the outside world, and he just didn't know what Xue Yang said at the moment.It was night when I finished my work and went back to my room to rest, but I thought of a plan.

At the beginning, I thought that as long as I joined the Tianwang Gang, I could always find out the whereabouts of Xiao Yezi.Unexpectedly, although Yunzhong City belongs to the Tianwang Gang, it has its own system.Except for Xue Yang, most people had no direct contact with Shang Lingyan.Li Li has been here for several days, and Ren Qingmei's name has never been mentioned a few times, let alone Xiao Yezi.But this time in the selection of Shang Lingyan's servants, the four heavenly kings will definitely meet, and Ren Qingmei and Yang Yizhao will also definitely attend at that time.That being the case, why not take advantage of the selection opportunity and go to Shang Lingyan in a fair manner?

The goal in my heart is set, but it must be kept deep in my heart, lest Xue Yang suspect that he has other plans.The servants who participated in the election, the alternate servants of Yunzhong City, were also escorted by the sword-wielding palace as usual.But the escort of the sword-wielding palace was the smoke screen of the Xia family. Xue Yue, who was really running for the election, naturally had to find another reliable confidant to escort her on her behalf.It's just that who will take on this role is still pending.

After all, Li Li's mind was active, and he quickly thought of the reason why the list of cronies had not been finalized.If Xue Yue really wanted to run for election, then Xue Yang would definitely choose a meritorious veteran to accompany his beloved daughter. Why didn't he use such a simple choice?It must be because the status and status of the veterans are too eye-catching, and their every move is eye-catching, which is not conducive to the smooth implementation of the smoke screen strategy.However, if he chooses an unknown newcomer, it will be too contemptuous of this selection, which will hurt Yun Zhongcheng's dignity.Thinking about it, Xue Yang was also between the two, trying to find a good choice, and it was difficult for several days.

For Xue Yang, it was a difficult problem.But for Li Li, the answer is very certain.Just me, and only me.

First of all, I have low qualifications and low positions, so my every move is not too noticeable.Secondly, he is capable, hardworking and willing to work, which has been initially approved by Xue Yang.Coupled with his unique experience of bravely saving Miss Xue from the water and fire, the name of "hero saving the beauty" is bound to spread, and it is not unknown.As long as it is used reasonably, it might become a kind of status blessing for oneself.

He heard that the servants should not get too close to the person at the helm when they are qualified for their duties, not to mention the affair between men and women.I have no personal relationship with Xue Yue, and I don't bother to do bad things like dedicating myself to glory.But after becoming a businessman, it's not a bad idea to make a little use of public opinion in order to drive up his status.

From the next day onwards, Li Li deliberately kept quiet, and even Xue Yang seldom went around, and just wandered for a long time every night at the gazebo where Xue Yue sent him back to his room for the first time, with a lonely and indifferent expression.Not long after, when Li Li quietly passed by the wine shop of those men again, he heard the following rumors: "Do you know, I think Ye Li is very interesting to our Miss Xue. Look at these two people. Miss Xue's attitude at the time was so enthusiastic! Later, the two of them quarreled for some reason, Ye Li must have drunk too much to show Miss Xue's face, how could Miss Xue bear being so honorable? Boy. But ah, the girl has a heart--gold is not as good as a lover, how can Miss Xue let it go? Send food and food every now and then, and serve this boy Yeli obediently. Everyone knows that Yeli The brat is so airy, and he refuses to go after Miss Xue. How can Miss Xue be ashamed of her status? But Yeli, this kid can't forget Miss Xue's beauty, and he sighs and sighs every day in the pavilion where Miss Xue gave him. You said that these two people are together if they are interested, so why bother!"

Whenever he heard this, there was always a smile in the corner of Li Li's long and narrow eyes.He kept silent and left quietly.

A few days later, Li Li was summoned by Xue Yang.Seeing him, Xue Yang smiled and didn't say much, but secretly arranged for Li Li to escort Xue Yue to the election.

When Li Li led the order to walk out of Juyi's large tent, he finally let go of the burden of the past few days, let out a long sigh of relief, and felt relieved for the time being.

He was sure that he was not Xue Yang's choice for his son-in-law. Once the scandal between him and Xue Yue became serious, Xue Yang would definitely stop him.Ordering him to escort Xue Yue to participate in the election not only implies that he will cut off his love, and that toads should not even think about eating swan meat; it is also a warning to everyone that Mr. Yeli and Xue Yue are innocent and have nothing to do with each other; Outside of the people in the city, who would have thought that a man who "admired" Xue Yue would appear near Shanglingyan with Xue Yue, not to elope or have a tryst, but to "separate love" and choose a servant?This trick of killing three birds with one stone was calculated on Xue Yang's love for his daughter.This time, he was right and bet right.Thinking of seeing Ren Qingmei soon, the sad eyes that were still "trapped by love" in the hall suddenly became fierce in the sunlight.

On the day of the selection, Li Li came to Xue Yue's gate early in the morning to wait.He came very early, when he walked to the door of Xue Yue's boudoir, by coincidence, a gust of wind blew half open the window facing Xue Yue's boudoir.Coincidentally, Li Li glanced at the beautiful figure in the large mirror in the room, who was dressed in thin clothes and combed her hair lazily.

In all fairness, Xue Yuezhen is also a stunning beauty that Li Li has never seen in his life.At this moment, the beauty's long hair hangs down, her makeup is light and elegant, her belt is loose, and a pair of straight and long legs are looming in the half-open robe.I saw her combing her hair and arranging her makeup in front of the mirror from time to time, her face was cold and lonely.It's really like a poem and a picture, with its own fairy rhyme.

If it was Yang Yizhao or other men, I'm afraid his heart would already be overwhelmed.However, when Li Li saw this scene, his heart was as hard as a stone, and he couldn't feel the slightest interest.
