Chapter 987: Categorical refusal

Sima Hongqian saw that Lu Yi had been moved by his words, he was also a little proud, and his right hand unconsciously rubbed on a wrench in his left hand, which was carved with a lifelike phoenix pattern, and the heavenly phoenix posed with a shape of fluttering wings. Lu Yi inadvertently raised his head, just in time to catch a glimpse of the Tianfeng wrench, his head suddenly "buzz!", and immediately thought that there was a wrench of the same material engraved with the Tianlong pattern in his hand that was like a pair of Sima Hongqian's wrench.

When the east sun rises, the west glows falls, when the South China Sea rises, the north depression, when there is a dragon out of the lake, there is a phoenix in the forest.

These four clueless limerick poems, Lu Yi has tried many times to understand the mysteries in them, but he has never been able to. Seeing the wrench in Sima Hongqian's hand today, first of all, he connected Tianlong Tianfeng. As for the meaning of the first two sentences, it is probably to describe the geographical environment of the connector he is looking for, Lu Yi has never been to Dongtuoguo, so naturally he can't know if the geographical environment there is consistent with the description in the first two sentences, and he doesn't want to compare them one by one, because he is resistant to Yunya Pavilion in his heart, and he doesn't want to complete the task that the other party gave him.

Lu Yi's mind was spinning rapidly, in connection with the situation of the Eastern Expansion Kingdom that Sima Hongqian said just now, Lu Yi was already able to guess the next step of the task that Yunya Pavilion gave him, it must be to let Sima Hongqian let go of everything in the Eastern Expansion Country to himself, and let himself use the turmoil in the Western Regions to practice leading troops to fight, the so-called great benefits to himself are nothing more than the family business of the Eastern Expansion Country or the foundation he laid down in the later period. If there was no arrangement from Chen Yunzi, maybe Lu Yi might still be able to accept this arrangement of Yunya Pavilion, his main purpose was to make a name for himself and find his subordinates. Now that he has Chen Yunzi's arrangement first, Lu Yi doesn't want to have too much to do with Yunya Pavilion, so he decided to reject Sima Hongqian's cooperation proposal without hesitation, and he can't let Sima Hongqian know his identity on the side of Yunya Pavilion, otherwise even if he doesn't look for Sima Hongqian, I'm afraid he will take the initiative to entangle himself.

"Thank you to Senior Sima for telling such a secret thing to the younger generation so openly and honestly, and the younger generation feels that this matter is open to discussion. Lu Yi euphemistically said the reason why he wanted to refuse Sima Hongqian's cooperation, "First of all, when I brought the entire sandstone area under my rule before, I promised those sandstone forces to help them improve their attack and defense facilities. Help them set up teleportation arrays and other related magic arrays, and even the juniors also want to establish teleportation arrays between various sandstones to achieve the real connection of various sandstones, these require a lot of time and energy to do, and the juniors are not skilled, so it is unlikely to participate in the plans of the seniors; , but in such a large-scale war as the predecessors said, the younger generations have indeed not participated in it, let alone command thousands of troops, I am afraid that the younger generations will not be competent and unable to serve the public, in that case, it may ruin the good deeds of the predecessors. Therefore, the seniors' cooperation proposals, forgive the juniors can't agree, the juniors are really out of their power. Of course, if the seniors need the help of the juniors, the juniors are duty-bound to send the most effective subordinates to the seniors to assist the seniors in establishing great achievements. ”

The reversal of things was a bit too sudden, Sima Hongqian was confused by Lu Yi's words, he never thought that Lu Yi would refuse to cooperate with him, he couldn't accept this fact for a while, and he couldn't figure out what made the guy in front of him reject him so simply. Could it be that he didn't understand the benefits he could get?

"Boy, are you stupid? The cooperation between the two of us basically does not need to contribute to get a large amount of wealth, and even if you want to have a territory, you want to be famous, you will stand out like a bright new star in the entire Western Regions, and even in the future, you will usher in people's admiration wherever you go, and you can add a heavy experience to your life experience, in case of a real war between humans and demons in the future, your experience is definitely the most valuable wealth, you actually rejected the old man's kindness, do you say you are confused? The old man allows you to think about it again, this matter is of no benefit to you, and you have no reason to refuse!"

"Don't think about it, the juniors actually haven't said a little, nothing is as good as their own cultivation to improve, before the outbreak of the human and demon war in the future, the juniors' greatest wish and most urgent thing is to make every effort to improve their cultivation, and even the sooner they set foot in the spirit building, the better, cultivation determines everything, I think the seniors know this truth better than me. I don't want to be too distracted by these chores and take up my cultivation time too much, there is really not much time left for me!" Lu Yi moved out of the killer feature, and this is also the consensus of all the monks, even Sima Hongqian and these old guys are also grasping to improve, but how difficult their promotion is, even the slightest improvement will make them ecstatic.

Now Sima Hongqian was silent, he couldn't refute Lu Yi's reason, monks are selfish, it's better to rely on no one than on themselves, he also knows that he can't promise Lu Yi to protect him for the rest of his life, and people will definitely not believe this kind of words, so it is understandable for people to propose to improve their cultivation as an excuse.

"Doll, you say that the old man can't force it, but since you can still take the time to help the other forces of the sandstone, you should also be able to squeeze out time to cooperate with the old man, even if you just help the old man pick the ripe fruit in front of him first, as long as it proves that the old man's plan is feasible, if you really want to cultivate in the future, the old man will never stop you, so I hope you can consider the old man's proposal again." You don't have to answer me in a hurry, the old man can give you some time, you go to do your own thing first, and at the same time think about the old man's proposal, the old man will make the final deployment after he goes back, as long as you agree to cooperate with the old man, the old man promises to only take up the least amount of your time. As for what you plan to do after completing this time, the old man will definitely not force you at that time. Can you feel the sincerity of the old man? The old man will take a step first, and I hope you can give the old man a satisfactory answer after a while. Sima Hongqian still didn't give up, and left alone after dropping such a compromising word.

After Sima Hongqian left, the human butcher and the woman who Lu Yi had never met were relieved, and the woman also officially introduced herself to Lu Yi, this woman's name is Liu Hongyan, she is one of the most powerful generals under Chen Yunzi, her cultivation is only higher than that of human butchers, it can be seen that Chen Yunzi still takes Lu Yi's safety very seriously. Ren Tuzi and Liu Hongyan didn't say anything about Lu Yi's rejection of Sima Hongqian, because the reason given by Lu Yi was already sufficient, and they didn't know that Lu Yi had other secrets, the two just reminded Lu Yi that Sima Hongqian was the kind of master who was difficult to give up if he didn't achieve his goal, and asked Lu Yi to think about the countermeasures again, and then Liu Hongyan continued to hide in the dark, and Ren Tuzi went to Bai Chunze to drink.

Since the matter of Qilin City was settled, Bai Chunze had somehow "colluded" with the human butcher, especially during the time when Lu Yi participated in the magic circle, Bai Chunze knew that it was inconvenient to disturb Lu Yi, and he was very bored, so he looked around for someone to play with it, but everyone has their own things to do, how can it be so leisurely, so it quickly became a nuisance that everyone hated and hidden. However, the human butcher, according to Lu Yi's request, inspected the entire sandstone area and did not find any abnormal situation, after the two idlers "met" in a tavern in Qilin City by chance, the two greedy drunkards completely stood in a camp, as long as they were idle, the two of them would haunt the various taverns and restaurants, and they would serve a few small dishes, and then each of them would come to a few jars of wine, and a drink would be a day or even a few days. Under the "careful" teaching of the human butcher, Bai Chunze has made great progress in the sophistication of human feelings, but its three views are imperceptibly influenced by the human butcher, and it seems to be a bit of a sign of development on the evil road, plus it is not a good kind in the first place, so it soon "broke out" a "good" name of the "ogre" Bai Chunze in Qilin City.

Lu Yi also heard about some things about Ren Tuzi and Bai Chunze, but the two of them didn't do anything too out of the ordinary, but there were a few times when Bai Chunze was still uneven, but the means were a little fierce and swallowed each other alive, which frightened the men, women and children of Qilin City, so that people would stay away from it, and gave it such a nickname. However, Bai Chunze is also very useful to this nickname, and feels that it is very in line with his own image, and he is also tired of such things as meddling and fighting grievances, but it has invisibly shocked some of the small ones in Qilin City, making the atmosphere of Qilin City better and better, so Lu Yi is too lazy to care about his sworn brother.

Lu Yi was now the only one left sitting in the Chunhui Palace, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and began to seriously think about Sima Hongqian and the matter of Yunya Pavilion.
