Chapter 281： whoever decides

Chapter 281 Who Eats Who Decides

Li Jing was right after thinking about it.

As the saying goes, people are divided into groups, and those who can be reused by Ye Anlan should be reasonable and able to use their own brains to think dialectically.

He nodded, "Then I'll ask Hua Liang for her opinion."

Hua Liang wanted to repay him, not to pester him to make him more tired, so there was a high probability that he would agree to come to Ye Anlan's side, but Li Jing still wanted to ask Hua Liang's opinion.

He wanted to clarify the matter with Hua Liang face to face, and he didn't want the child to feel that he was rejected.

"By the way, would you like to send a few more loyal and reliable servants? I can help you train them. Although it is difficult to reach the level of Chang'an, at least they can be more reliable than ordinary guards and soldiers."

The corners of Li Jing's lips raised slightly. He felt that Ye Anlan's statement was too modest. Just because she was able to train Yang Xiaotao and Zheng Fengshou to what they are now in a short period of time, how could the guards she trained for him be more reliable than ordinary guards and soldiers?

"Then I'll ask my grandmother to help pick out a few servants from the Li family and send them over."

"Well, pick someone who is talented in martial arts. It's best to be like Chang'an."

Li Jing: "...I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."

Ye Anlan was amused by his rare embarrassment.

Li Jing also laughed with her, and waited until Ye Anlan laughed enough, then Li Jing tentatively asked her, "The envoys of the three families, what are your plans?"

Ye Anlan was taken aback for a moment, she thought Li Jing wouldn't bring up this topic, but unexpectedly, after a long circle, he actually brought the topic back.

She looked at Li Jing, but didn't speak immediately.

Li Jing was so stared at by her that he felt his face was going to be pierced. He was about to give up and let Ye Anlan answer this question, when he heard Ye Anlan say with a smile, "The war is still going on, so why do you do it?"

Li Jing was taken aback.

He is too familiar with this sentence. All the people who were rejected by him received this rhetorical question from him.

His face was completely red, and even his neck and ears were slightly red.

Under Ye Anlan's gaze, he subconsciously raised his hand to hold his heart, as if this way Ye Anlan would not hear his sudden rapid heartbeat.

Ye Anlan was amused by his cute and lovely reaction. Why, she felt like she was molesting an innocent little lady who didn't know much about the world. This is a big sin o(*￣︶￣*)o

Thanks to Li Jing not knowing what she was thinking, otherwise she would be even more ashamed and wanted to run away.

Getting the letter from Li Jing, Xie Yuan suddenly felt that his fighting spirit was useless.

He ordered his subordinates to pack up with regret, "...we will leave Mengshan early in the morning the day after tomorrow."

Everyone answered "Yes" and went off to work separately, but Xie Yuan took the opportunity to leave Li Jing behind and whispered.

He asked Li Jing, "What is your plan? Since you like her girl, even if it's not a good time to propose marriage, at least you have to show a little bit. Otherwise, if someone suddenly engages in marriage one day, then you I won’t regret it later.”

Li Jing smiled, "She won't."

Xie Yuan hissed, "Are you determined to eat her? Although you and I are in the same group, it is only good for me if you decide to eat her, but if you are like this, I really sympathize with my girl." Junior sister."

Li Jing had no choice but to say, "I'm not sure about her, but I just don't want to influence her with promises and agreements."

He didn't say anything, just because he didn't want to influence the other party's decision intentionally or unintentionally because he didn't want to rely on the other party's liking for him.

He knew that Ye Anlan had no ambition to become emperor, but at the same time, he also knew that Ye Anlan had no intention of joining a certain force now.

She just wants to live her life in peace, while protecting her subordinates and people as much as possible.

Of course her thinking would be ridiculed by many people as "a woman's benevolence" and would become the Achilles' heel of many people criticizing her, but Li Jing didn't think she had the right to dictate something to Ye Anlan.

He will not take the initiative to reach out and pull the other party into this vortex, he will only expressly thank the other party when he gets involved because of him.

He will not pretend to be confused when the other party pays, nor will he do whatever he wants because of the undecided status with the other party. He is clean and clear. This is the greatest sincerity he can give Ye Anlan.

Xie Yuan was speechless for a while. If it were him, he would definitely marry the girl he likes as soon as possible. It is not Xie Yuan's style to be concerned about this and that.

However, Xie Yuan will not force Li Jing to be like him. In addition to the decisiveness that a king should have, he also has the broad-mindedness that a king should have.

He can respect and try to understand the bottom line and principles of his subordinates, and will not force the other party to do things he does not want to do because of his own interests.

"Do whatever you want, I think it's better to let you play freely than me to meddle indiscriminately." Who made Ye Anlan care about Li Jing's one?┓(`)┏

***

After Xie Yuan and the others left, Mrs. Ye entertained the envoys from the three parties in Mengyin, but at the same time, Ye Anlan immediately rejected their marriage proposals.

The three parties came back with regrets. The current head of the Huang family’s army immediately married the daughter of another leader of the rebel army because they were in urgent need of help. in law.

At this point, Ye Anlan became uninterested again.

Ms. Li was very anxious, but Ye Anlan was very satisfied.

When the three families sent people over to ask for marriage, the "military exercise" that she arranged carefully, perfectly helped her deter the surrounding rebel forces.

Years later, as soon as the rebels were busy with spring plowing, they joined forces to fight each other, but they tacitly avoided the states and counties under Ye Anlan's rule at the same time.

Everyone wanted to leave the hard nuts for the last, so Ye Anlan got the chance to continue to settle down.

Rebel forces from all sides formed an alliance with this one today, and turned against that one tomorrow. Some aristocratic families who felt that the time was ripe also began to end one after another, so that new rebel forces sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and then quickly disappeared like fireworks. to the chaos.

The situation became so chaotic that even Xie Yuan did not dare to continue to act rashly. He began to become more cautious in using troops, and instead recruited and trained troops far more than before.

At the same time, the relatively peaceful and stable territories of Xie, Ye, Wang, Qin, Pei, Zhao and other rebel forces have also become the favorite places for refugees who have suffered from wars.

Many refugees, even if they know that their chances of reaching these places are very slim, they will drag their families to the territories of these families with the hope of one in ten thousand.
