Chapter 2861 The Fourth Rank of Official Residence
Xu Yi sighed deeply, but did not defend himself. He waved his hand to the stone table and bench, placed a pot of tea and two blue and white porcelain cups, sat down, poured a cup, and drank by himself.
"What, you don't have anything to say?"
A flash of light burst out from Bai Lang's eyes.
Although he and Xu Yi met for the first time, they had a very good impression of this person. He was brave and resourceful without losing his temperament, and he would definitely be a character in the future.
But he never expected that Xu Yi would dare to play double-dealing in front of him. He showed kindness to him, but then turned around and got close to Tu Wuming again. This was intolerable.
Xu Yi said, "Brother Bai, how about watching the king?"
This is his usual tactic. Once he is having trouble dealing with something, he will first pretend to be deep, and then suddenly change the subject to a place thousands of miles away, just to delay time for himself to think about it.
His original intention to intervene this time was to plot against Wuming and other evil spirits. As for seeking an official position in Jinpeng Demon King's Mansion, it was only a later idea.
Since he wanted to plot against Wuming and other evil spirits, it was naturally impossible without dealing with these people. He really never thought about what White Wolf would think.
Unexpectedly, Bai Lang took such a fancy to him that he came directly to his door after the banquet was over.
Bai Lang sat down opposite Xu Yi, stared at Xu Yi and said, "The king is a talented person and a hero in this world. Why, do you have an opinion about the king?"
Xu Yi said, "Of course not. I'm not asking about the king's personality, but about the discord between Brother Bai and Tu Wuming. What does the king think?" He had a good brain, but in an instant, he found the entry point.
While Bai Lang was pondering, Xu Yi continued, "I'm just a newcomer here, and I don't have much ambition. I just want to be an official here. I feel honored to be able to make friends with Brother Bai. I also think Brother Bai is The most trustworthy person of the king, therefore, when He Tu Wuming launched an attack, Xu did not avoid danger and rushed to the front. He had clearly grasped the handle of Tu Wuming, but the king failed to provoke him. What did Brother Bai think I would do? Want? What's more, when the banquet started, Brother Bai left without saying a word, and he never thought about Xu's confusion. Again, Xu came here to find a way out, and had no intention of dying for anyone. Since Brother Bai There is no need for Xu, and Xu has no intention of offending a big shot like Tu Wuming, who is in the king's heart, so besides apologizing and enduring the humiliation, what else can he do?"
After he said these words, Luang Mei in the Starry Sky Ring sighed again and again. Once he is convinced, all the fish in the river will jump to the shore at your request.
What he said was sincere and tactful, but Bai Lang understood it. He picked up the poured cup of tea and raised it to Xu Yi, "But Bai thought wrongly. This cup is for Brother Xu." Apologize." After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Before he came, he really couldn't figure out how Xu Yi dared to act like this and take refuge in Tu Wuming like this. He would not only lose Tu Wuming's trust, but also lose his own favor. It was completely impossible for him to be a smart person.
He didn't plan to come at first, but he always felt that the look in the king's eyes was unusual when he looked at Xu Yi, and he thought about Xu Yi's temperament when he asked Chen Fangge for an official position, so he left this time.
After listening to Xu Yi's explanation, he completely understood.
It was reasonable, so reasonable. For a monk who just wanted to be an official here and had no intention of getting involved in the fight, there was really no need to be caught between him and Tu Wuming. Moreover, the king's statement at the time was really ambiguous.
What left Bai Lang speechless the most was that he left suddenly without any explanation to Xu Yi, which made Xu Yi have countless guesses, which was understandable.
Bai Lang was relieved and said immediately, "I left with the king because I had urgent matters. I forgot to explain to you for a while. It was not a cold shoulder. As for the king's attitude, you are wrong. Tu Wuming is a strong man in the four realms, and He is a well-known person on the evil list. He came to vote this time, so he was naturally regarded as a banner by the king. There is no need for me to tell you the truth that a thousand pieces of gold is worth a horse's bones."
"Your Majesty is not suppressing me, but protecting him, but on such occasions, he cannot let Tu Wuming lose face, and cannot pull out this flag by himself. As for the conflict between me and Tu Wuming, it does not exist at all. In other words , is just Tu Wuming’s wishful thinking. He thought that the king praised him a few words and showed kindness to him, so he thought he could take the opportunity to replace me. That is a fool’s dream. How can my friendship with the king be comparable to his? "
"Originally, I didn't want to say these words in front of others, including you, Brother Xu. Brother Xu is a great talent, and his future is limitless. As long as he keeps up with the king's pace, he doesn't have to pay attention to any junior people. In addition, I am here now, but also Bringing good news to Brother Xu, the king has intended to grant Brother Xu a fourth-grade official."
Xu Yi's face suddenly overflowed with ecstasy, and then it subsided in an instant, "To be honest with Brother Bai, although I have always dreamed of getting an official position, I just received the news that there is trouble again in my hometown, and my sweetheart is actually being taken care of. Well, I'm afraid there will be some troubles, I am in this official position..."
Bai Lang laughed loudly, "What do I mean? This is a trivial matter. The fourth rank is a high-ranking official. How can a high-ranking official do anything practical? The specific matters will be handled by the people below. For important matters, you can come forward. Besides, With me at the center, you don't have to worry too much. By the way, who is causing trouble? Do you want me to send Brother Xu an army and horse to sweep it away directly? Brother Xu, don't forget that he is already a high-ranking official in my Jinpeng Demon King's Palace. My Jinpeng Demon King’s Mansion will not lose to his Yin Ting. From now on, when Brother Xu goes out, he will report it as the banner of the Jinpeng Demon King’s Mansion.”
Xu Yi poured himself a glass excitedly and drank it all in one gulp, "This couldn't be better. Brother Bai's kindness to me will be borne in mind by Xu."
Bai Lang laughed and waved his hands repeatedly. He was becoming more and more satisfied with Xu Yi. This man had a temperament, and the key was that he was an honest person. He said what he said, which was especially rare.
If his thoughts were known to Huangmei, he would be so frightened that he fainted. How could the most unpredictable and unpredictable guy in the world be evaluated as "say what you say"? Is there any justice?
Bai Lang was in a good mood, so Xu Yi climbed up the pole, "May I ask Brother Bai, how old is this fourth-grade official?"
Bai Lang laughed and said, "What? You think the official is too small? Let's put it this way, I am only a third-rank, second-rank, and first-rank official is vacant, leaving it to future meritorious ministers, so as not to be rewarded for their merits. The official system for the rest of them is slightly different. Later, the king will open a secret realm and put some official talismans in it. Everyone can obtain it based on their own ability, which can not only verify their strength, but also avoid disputes. I have already put your official talisman in it. When the time comes, I will give you the address. , you just go and get it and go through the process.”
Xu Yi thanked him again, feeling deeply that there were people in the court who wanted to be officials, and it was indeed true.
After finishing the pot of tea, Bai Lang politely declined Xu Yi's stay for the meal, and left immediately. The ceremony was coming soon, and all kinds of things were heavy. He had the trust of Jinpeng Demon King, and he still had a lot of work on his hands, so he couldn't delay.
