Chapter 458: Today is different from the past

"Hehehe..." Ye Kaihuai, who was lying on the chair, suddenly let out a wretched laugh, which scared Long Xingyun and Zhou Shang who were walking towards him. The two looked at each other and thought to themselves: "Who is this guy damaging?"

"Oh, Xingyun, fat man, why can't you come here?" Ye Kaihuai greeted Long Xingyun and Zhou Shang.

Long Xingyun and Zhou Shang looked at each other and walked to Ye Kaihuai's side. At the same time, they also became alert in their hearts to prevent Ye Kaihuai from digging a hole for them to jump.

"Sit down and talk... Why are you so nervous?" Ye Kaihuai asked strangely.

"No...we are so nervous, we didn't do anything wrong. But I'm so happy, what's wrong with calling us?" Long Xingyun asked.

Ye Kaihuai heard this and poured a cup of tea for the two of them first, then said, "It's nothing. I'm just discussing with you what to do next for our Feng Yang leader? Now that Feng Yang leader is not here, you are the only two of you who can discuss with me. There is no other meaning to ask you two to come over, I just want to tell you something."

"What's up?"

"When Leo came to Fengyang before, he actually brought me something. I thought this thing was too hot at that time, so I didn't tell you the news."

"What?" Zhou Shang asked curiously. However, Long Xingyun thought for a moment and suddenly understood what Ye Kaihuai was saying. After hearing Zhou Shang ask what Ye Kaihuai said, he couldn't help kicking Zhou Shang and said, "Kaihuai, I think it's better not to take this thing out now."

"...Tell me your reasons." Ye Kaihuai looked at Long Xingyun and asked.

"...The old saying goes, "A man is innocent, and he is guilty of possessing a treasure." Long Xingyun said inexplicably.

"Hey, what are you two fighting for? What exactly is it?" Zhou Shang asked anxiously from the side.

"Don't ask so much, it's not the time." Long Xingyun said to Zhou Shang.

Zhou Shang originally wanted to refute, but when he saw Long Xingyun's serious look, he swallowed the words to his mouth. In Feng Yang, Long Xingyun could be regarded as the leader of Ye Kaihuai. Although he usually laughed and didn't have plastic surgery and was messing around with Ye Kaihuai, once he became serious, it means that what happened was very serious.

Zhou Shang closed his mouth cleverly and didn't ask again. But he couldn't help thinking about what Ye Kaihuai said that he would not tell everyone. He mentioned Leo just now. Here, Ou had always been the deputy commander of the Iron Dragon Guard who Anping was responsible for the safety of the palace. He brought Ye Kaihuai something, and this thing could not be told to others... Could it be...

Zhou Shang thought of a possibility. Long Xingyun, who had been paying attention to him, whispered: "Just know it yourself. Don't tell others for the time being. This matter is not the best time to announce it."

Zhou Shang, whose thoughts were confirmed by Long Xingyun, was shocked when he heard this, and then he understood the meaning of Long Xingyun saying this to him. He nodded to Long Xingyun that he understood.

"Why did you suddenly remember to tell us this?" Long Xingyun asked Ye Kaihuai.

"...I am a person who can't hide secrets. I always hide something in my heart, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. So I want to tell this secret to the person I trust the most." Ye Kaihuai said embarrassedly.

Long Xingyun and Zhou Shang logically said that after hearing Ye Kaihuai's words, they should be moved and swore in their hearts that a soldier died for his confidant. But unfortunately, Long Xingyun and Zhou Shang knew this guy Ye Kaihuai so well. This guy was definitely not so kind. He was just feeling uncomfortable when he had something to hold back. He wanted to find someone to talk about it, and he felt so happy. Because Ye Kaihuai often said that happiness was divided into two halves, which was two happiness. The pain was divided into two halves, which was half of pain. This guy was definitely here to share the pain with them.

"Okay, okay. Actually, I want to talk to you about this matter and discuss something about our Feng Yang's future. I admit that it was because Yuege was pregnant with my child that I had this idea." Ye Kaihuai, who seemed a little uncomfortable with Long Xingyun and Zhou Shang, raised his hand and surrendered, honestly expressed his thoughts.

Long Xingyun was overjoyed when he heard this. Since he met Ye Kaihuai, he had always wanted Ye Kaihuai to dominate the world. Of course, this was related to the ability he wrote. What disappointed him was that Ye Kaihuai, a guy who didn't know how to be ambitious, sneered at what he said about dominating the world, and made everyone surrender, and was very content with the status quo. Even after Feng Yang was established, he was a big boss and threw everything to others to do. It really did not meet the standards of the wise ruler in his heart. However, he lived here more comfortably than in other places, so he temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​inciting Ye Kaihuai to become king. Today, when he heard Ye Kaihuai say that he had some thoughts about that position, his heart that had already been silent suddenly became active.

Only Zhou Shang didn't quite understand what Ye Kaihuai said meant? It made Long Xingyun around him suddenly feel excited.

"Happy, now I want people, money and food, and what I lack is nothing more than the soldiers of a hundred battles and your determination. The soldiers of a hundred battles are easy to deal with. My Feng Yang army is well trained, but what I lack is the experience of killing enemies on the battlefield. When Dier and Leo come back from the Orc Alliance this time, the problem of soldiers of a hundred battles can be solved. But your determination has always been the biggest problem for my Feng Yang's development."

"Explain it carefully to me." Ye Kaihuai asked with some displeasure.

"Haha...Don't be angry, listen to me slowly." Long Xingyun said with a smile to Ye Kaihuai: "At the beginning of Feng Yangling's establishment, the policy of self-protection for Feng Yangling was very correct. But as Feng Yangling became increasingly powerful, Feng Yang is no longer the weak and vulnerable force. It has grown unknowingly into one of the forces that can participate in the game of winning the throne of the Dragon. And your policy of self-protection is no longer suitable for Feng Yang's current situation. Not only me, but anyone with talent wants to show his ambitions. And your policy of self-protection is no longer suitable for Feng Yang's current situation.

, prove your ability to the world. Not to mention anything else, just talk about Chen Siliu and Li Sansi, why do many people go to join Hu Xiao and Feiyu, but they come to join Feng Yang. Because they see clearly than others, Feng Yangling has you, and you are the most favored grandson of the former emperor Aolong. Following you, it is only a matter of time for Guangzong Yaozu. But think about it, once they know the ideal is just a farmer's spring, and there is no hope for Guangzong Yaozu here. Will they still stay here to serve Feng Yangling? I think few people are willing."

"...I'm changing, right?" Ye Kaihuai said a little embarrassedly. In fact, what Long Xingyun said had already been noticed before, but he didn't expect that the cause of the fluctuation of the officials in Feng Yang's leadership was himself. But when he looked back, it was not a big deal that those officials had a second thought. After all, few people in this world were willing to follow the unmotivated leaders.

Hearing Ye Kaihuai's words, Long Xingyun no longer accused Ye Kaihuai of being unintentional for some time before. He spoke to Ye Kaihuai, "But now that you have figured it out, it's not too late."

"Haha... Then tell me what should we do next? It doesn't seem wise to do it with other forces in the Aolong Empire with a clear standpoint now." Ye Kaihuai said with a smile.

"Don't do this." Long Xingyun said to Ye Kaihuai with dissatisfaction: "With your cunning mind, you said you didn't think of a solution, who would believe it?"

"Hehe... I do have some ideas, but I want to listen to you and Zhou Shang first."

"Well... since that's the case, then I'll throw away the bricks and attract jade..." Long Xingyun pondered for a moment and spoke.

But before Long Xingyun finished speaking, Zhou Shang, who had been sitting aside listening to them, said, "Wait."

"Fatty, what's the matter?" Ye Kaihuai asked.

"What are you talking about after a long time? I wonder if I'm stupid, can't I hear it?" Zhou Shang said with some dissatisfaction.

"You are not stupid, you are stupid enough to read and can't use it flexibly." Ye Kaihuai patted Zhou Shang's shoulder and said.

Zhou Shang looked at Ye Kaihuai with a depressed look on his face. Long Xingyun on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke to help Zhou Shang and said, "Fatty, the matter is actually very simple. Our Lord has finally become a little motivated and is ready to participate in the game of fighting for the throne of the Dragon. He came to us to discuss what preparations we Feng Yang should do before participating in this game?"

"Oh, I understand. You should have thought this way long ago." Zhou Shang suddenly realized.

"Haha..." Ye Kaihuai smiled without saying anything. Then Zhou Shang continued, "But you can discuss this with Xingyun, what should I do?"

“Because I think you have this qualification.”

"Me? Can you?"

"Fatty, don't belittle yourself. In terms of knowledge, none of our Lord's Mansions is as high as you. All you lack is the opportunity to practice. I believe that as long as you put you down and work for a few years, you will definitely be better than you are now. So, please help me?"

"What do you want me to do?" Zhou Shang asked after a moment of silence.

"I plan to set up a new city behind Wohu Castle as the backing of Hughes and others, and there is still a city lord. I don't need you to do everything yourself, because the officials sent to you are very good. I just need you to learn how the officials in the city lord's mansion treat people and deal with emergencies in their daily lives. When you ask yourself, you will come back. After the assessment is passed, I will be of great use to you."

"I..." Zhou Shang said hesitantly.

"Fatty, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Yun Nishang. With your current identity, do you think the Yun family will like you? You won't want Yun Nishang to elope with you regardless of your family, right?"

When Ye Kaihuai mentioned Yun Nishang, Zhou Shang, who had originally wanted to find a reason to shirk the truth, was stunned. He liked Yun Nishang and wanted to give Yun Nishang the best, but if even Yun Nishang's marriage could not make her glorious, what qualifications did he have to say that he liked Yun Nishang? After all, he was not incapable of letting Yun Nishang marry him in gloriously. As long as he did it, he would definitely achieve his goal.

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements in everything." For the sake of his beloved woman, Zhou Shang gritted his teeth and decided to violate the agreement he made with his grandfather and not participate in the officialdom for the rest of his life.
