Chapter 671: insufficient

"Then I'm relieved."
Lu Li chuckled, then said to Tan Long: "Live at Hou's house with peace of mind, remembering that you represent the face of King Yan's Mansion. Don't be ashamed of King Yan's Mansion in your words and deeds."
"Remember what your lord teaches."
Tan Long bowed his hand respectfully, and the tension in his heart dissipated a lot.
After that, Lu Li nodded and left the Hou's house with Shi Yan.
After leaving the Hou's house, Shi Yan couldn't help asking, "My lord, why don't you let me stay in the Hou's house? Tan Long is cautious...maybe he will show his feet."
Shi Yan had already raised a question once before Lu Li made this decision.
It was just that Lu Li didn't answer at that time, and Tan Long felt that this was his chance to rise to the top, and he agreed on the spot, so Shi Yan did not have the opportunity to ask Lu Li again.
Until now, he finally couldn't hold back.
Hearing his question, Lu Li turned around and looked at the high-ranking door of the Hou family. He smiled and said, "This matter is very dangerous. Maybe you will lose your life. Tan Long is a bit stronger than you. He is afraid, so are you not afraid?"
"Tongxuan Realm... the strongest point is weaker, it can't control the situation at all."
"That's why the adults chose us, isn't it?"
Although Shi Yan is dull on weekdays, he is also a warrior from Wu Zong at any rate. He is not unwise, but not happy.
In the current situation, he could think of Lu Li's profound meaning only after a little thought. It was precisely because he knew what Lu Li was going to do that made him even more puzzled.
Tan Long said he was cautious when he said it sounds good, and he was timid to say it was unpleasant. Although he didn't know any secrets, it was hard to guarantee that the Hou family would not attack him and get some information from him. Although the relationship between the two is good, Shi Yan thinks that Tan Long is not suitable for this task because they are too familiar with each other.
What if Tan Long is frightened by the Hou family, what if it breaks?
This is a suspicion of speaking badly behind the scenes.
Fortunately, Shi Yan was upright and dull. Lu Li knew that he was also unintentional. He smiled and said, "Don’t think too much. It is the face of the Yan Palace. Moreover, the reason why I sent Tan Long instead of you is because of his cautiousness."
"You can think he is timid and fearful, but being cautious, it means he dare not make mistakes. Being timid and fearful means he knows fear."
"Do you think Tan Long is more'afraid' of me, or is he more afraid of the Hou family?"
Lu Li gave Shi Yan a meaningful look.
Shi Yan thought about it for a while, immediately understood, and whispered: "Tan Long...must be more afraid of adults."
Shi Yan still looked a little awkward when she said this sentence.
Although he knew what Lu Li meant, he was not used to Lu Li using such a straightforward analogy.
"You should be more accustomed to calling this kind of loyalty, but in my opinion, loyalty is the biggest lie." Lu Li stretched out his hand and patted Shi Yan on the shoulder, smiling: "You and Tan Long may both have a certain Faithful, but I prefer to regard that as a kind of fear. Fear of the power of the Yan Palace, but also fear of my methods."
"As long as this fear lasts for one day, you will be loyal to the Yan Palace for one day. This kind of loyalty that grows from fear is more reliable than verbal."
"Don't worry."
Lu Li's conversation turned, "Tan Long will not be a bad thing, if the Hou Family really dares to take action against him... that would be a good thing."
"Master Lu, are you trying to test the Hou's family?" Shi Yan became somewhat restrained inexplicably, and asked cautiously.
Lu Li shook his head and said, "It's not a temptation, it's just insurance."
He didn't explain too much, he brushed his sleeves off, and said indifferently: "Let's go, we still have a lot to do today."
When Shi Yan heard the words, his heart suddenly tightened, and even claimed to be, following Lu Li.
While they were leaving, the Hou family asked someone to take Tan Long down to settle down. Hou Wuye and Hou Baye sat in the meeting room, and the atmosphere seemed a little depressed.
At this moment, Hou Wuye had read all the contents of the piece of jade Perry that Lu Li had left behind, and his expression was also uncertain.
Hou Baye looked like an old monk entering Ding. Hou Wuye refused to speak, nor did he take the initiative to speak. It seemed that he was not in a hurry.
But in fact, his heart was turned upside down.
The plan that Lu Li brought to them really made it difficult for them to choose.
On the one hand, the huge benefits behind this plan are indeed extremely attractive. On the other hand, huge benefits are always accompanied by huge risks.
And no one can say whether there is any conspiracy behind Lu Li's plan.
"Baby, this matter..."
Finally, Hou Wuye couldn't help it. He raised his head and looked at Baye Hou, who was there, and wanted to ask his opinion.
However, Hou Baye immediately raised his hand, interrupted Hou Wuye's words, and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, aren't you the principal of the Hou family? Of course you have to make up your mind about this matter. It's all up to the fifth brother."
"Are you... is it time to get angry?"
Hou Wuye was choked for a while, and his expression was stern: "Lu Li came here this time, obviously with an extremely tough attitude! He is going to do something against our Hou family!"
"Just do it, why? The Hou family is really vulnerable without Master Hou?"
Hou Baye said casually: "Fifth Brother, if you want me to say that you are thinking too much. Although Lu Li's remarks are true or false, it is difficult to figure out, but he said one sentence to my heart. "
"What are you talking about?" Hou Wuye's eyes flashed.
"The Yan Palace, no matter how it is, is an official power. In this world, there are rules everywhere, and everyone must live by these rules. The court has the rules of the court, and the rules of the noble family. Lu Li's words are to remind us that as long as they are within the rules, King Yan's Mansion and the Hou Family may not coexist."
After saying this, Baye Hou smiled suddenly: "Speaking of which, Lu Li is also a wonderful person. He has caused headaches for the Sanzhou family during this period. I don't know how many people want him to die, but those people absolutely can't imagine. Then, after suppressing the family strongly, he turned around and found us to offer cooperation."
"But what if he intervenes in the affairs of the Hou family with the help of cooperation?" Hou Wuye understood what Hou Baye meant, but his face was still a little worried: "Lu Li's behavior during this period is obviously He's just a lunatic who doesn't follow the rules or reason. You say he wants to talk to us about the rules...Who believes? Who dares to believe?
Hou Wuye's concerns are not unfounded.
Since the disappearance of Hou Ye and Lu Lijian's incarnation of Heavenly Man, he has acted like an unruly man. He almost smashed the "table" that the Yanzhou family had painstakingly maintained, and even sent people directly. It took a shot at the foundation of each family's industry and several conflicts and frictions. Although the family suffered heavy losses, the Yan Palace did not take advantage of it, and many of its staff were lost.
But it was precisely because of Lu Li's behavior at all costs that scared the heads of the families, even if they suffered a big loss, in the end they could only pinch their noses to admit.
Otherwise, they were afraid of pushing Lu Li into a hurry, and finally they would fight for a dead end.
After all, the character shown by Lu Li now looks crazy and unstructured, but in fact it is extremely overbearing. The goal is to make everyone bow their heads and make concessions.
After all the families were overwhelmed, he really stopped a bit.
How could such a person calmly talk about cooperation with the family?
Anyway, Hou Wuye didn't believe it.
Hou Baye may not really believe it, but he obviously thinks more and farther than Hou Wuye.
In his opinion, his fifth brother is good at everything, that is, looking forward and backward, always thinking about the overall situation, and arranging everything properly. But what good things are perfect in this world? If you want benefits, you don’t pay anything, and you don’t touch any risk. The benefits are all taken up by you. What do others want?
On this point, Baye Hou thinks he is different from him.
It's even different from Lord Hou!
Although Lord Hou brought the grand occasion to the Hou family, Baye Hou felt that he was still too petty.
