Xu Yi said, "Elder Xi, no, Brother Xi, since I'm willing to come, I'm naturally not here to talk things over. You don't have to pretend to be tough. Your current situation may not be better than your appearance. The leader tried his best, but still fell short. Of course, Huo Zhongxing is the leader, and if something goes wrong, he should bear the main responsibility."
"But you must know that it was Huo Zhongxing and Bing Yuan who shouldered the biggest burden when they besieged Ghost Seven. Brother Xi, you were assigned the lightest task. A powerful man with a divine fetus led a force that was far stronger than his opponent, and ended up in disgrace. How will the higher ups view this matter? I don't know, Brother Xi."
"But if at this juncture, I hand over this Ruyi Pearl, I believe someone above will immediately come to the conclusion: your brother Xi's mind is not on official business at all, but on personal hatred. I don't know what the consequences will be if this happens, but I believe that brother Xi himself must be very aware of the consequences..."
Almost every time Xu Yi said a sentence, Xi Mengfan's eyes became darker, his heart felt like it was boiling, and he kept cursing.
He already knew that Xu Yi was as cunning as a fox, but he didn't expect that Xu Yi would penetrate deep into his bones at a glance.
There's nothing wrong with his current situation, it's simply too bad.
The siege was carried out hand-in-hand, and it was a complete defeat. Not only was Chang Old Bing hara killed, but also the Spirit Gun team, Plum Blossom Iron Guard and the secret guard force, and even the staff officers who had been playing tricks suffered heavy losses.
Not counting all these, the most important thing is that Ghost Seven was not stopped, which caused Ghost Seven to send the news back, and the high-level ghost buried in the Holy See's Buddhist niche on the other side of the Pope was uncovered.
Now, not only the leaders were furious, but some big shots in the ancestral court had already denounced the subordinates for their poor performance, saying that the capture of the Buddhist niche was equivalent to the loss of one hundred thousand troops.
As the leader of the team, Huo Zhongxing has been taken away by the Discipline Department's men. It is completely conceivable what he will encounter.
These days, Xi Mengfan is like an ant on a hot pot.
Of course he thought about pushing Xu Yi out, saying that the existence of this mole caused the originally perfect situation to have such a huge accident.
But the key point is that he has no clue that Xu Yi is the mole, and his personal enmity with Xu Yi is well known to everyone.
If the power of inspection on this matter is within the leadership, he can still operate it.
But this matter has alarmed the ancestral court, and even though he has great power, he cannot continue to operate.
If you rush to push Xu Yi out, you will only get yourself into trouble.
What's more, if Xu Yi dares to come back, he is obviously not afraid of him doing this.
Suddenly, Xi Mengfan sighed deeply, waved his hand, and a tea set appeared on a table with the Eight Immortals, "You and I have become rivals due to a strange combination of circumstances. The reason is that Xi Yangchun is greedy for money, blind, and does not know the true God. I have also had a game with you, which can be regarded as an explanation to him. Xi Mou uses tea instead of wine, toasts Brother Xu, how about letting the past smoke and clouds go?"
Xu Yi just picked up the tea cup and his hand suddenly froze. He really didn't expect Xi Mengfan to say these words. Suddenly, a chill surged in his heart. This old guy can bend and stretch, it's amazing.
He could probably imagine how much courage it took for Xi Mengfan to say these words.
"What? Brother Xu If you feel you have suffered a loss or are dissatisfied with anything, you can tell us and we will discuss it."
Elder Xi is like a master of face-changing. The original face of a late wife has turned into a face like a spring breeze.
With this change, Elder Xi's mental journey is both simple and complex.
The most critical change was that he completely recognized Xu Yi's true identity and elevated it from the ant it was to a position where it can sit on equal terms.
Why he stepped on Xu Yi was not because Xu Yi killed Xi Yangchun, but because he was hurt by Xi Yangchun.
In fact, Xu Yi killed Xi Yangchun. He felt that it was shameless. Since this ant didn't know what to do, he just trampled it to death.
But after a series of twists and turns, he discovered that what he was about to step on was not an ant at all, but a wild beast. Furthermore, he was accidentally pinned down by the claws of this wild beast.
When he corrected his position towards Xu Yi in his mind, his anger subsided. Although the so-called hatred could not be forgotten immediately, it was nothing compared to his own difficult situation.
Xu Yi said, "Elder Xi misunderstood..."
Xi Mengfan waved his hand, "I called you Brother Xi, why did you change it to Elder Xi? You and I have never known each other before. Brother Xu is a rare monastic genius. It is Xi's blessing that he can make friends with Brother Xu before he shows up. Why, Brother Xu, don't you want to recognize Xi as your friend?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly, "I will follow Brother Xi's words."
After saying this, the two of them exchanged tea for wine, had a glass of wine, and each drank it up.
Elder Xi wants to make peace, Xu Yi doesn't want to make peace.
Xu Yi has a good character and is determined to retaliate, but he is also the ultimate egoist.
At present, of course he has the means to make Xi Mengfan miserable, but it is difficult to kill him with one blow.
At the same time, his current situation is not good either. He wants to continue climbing up, but he lacks a springboard.
If Xi Mengfan is willing to make peace, he will naturally be willing to use Xi Mengfan as a springboard to climb up.
He knows very well that in this hierarchical world, the higher the status, the more resources.
Elder Xi took another cup of tea for Xu Yi and said, "I wonder if Brother Xu can help me get through the crisis at hand. Brother Xu Don't worry, Xi is not someone looking for a debt. As long as Brother Xu helps me get through this difficulty, Xi will be rewarded generously."
Xi Mengfan is a realist, and his attitude changes very quickly. In addition to placing Xu Yi on an equal footing, he also believes that Xu Yi can help him get out of this critical situation.
Just because Xu Yi has another identity, Night Walker.
Xu Yi said, "I wonder what Brother Xi thinks of Night Walker."
Finally, Xu Yi got involved in the drama.
Xi Mengfan took a deep breath and said, "Just like you and me, we are all monks and have to eat and sleep. Anyway, since we are separated from Brother Xu, I have nothing to hide. The pope and the ancestral court have been fighting for countless years. What is the way of heaven? Justice is nothing more than fooling fools, and the fight is nothing more than resources. To put it bluntly, both families are poor people struggling to survive in the world. If it weren't for me wearing this official skin, even if Night Walker walked past me, I wouldn't bother to take a second look."
Xu Yi nodded, he believed what Xi Mengfan said.
Xu Yi is very clear about the mentality of ordinary officials in Zuting. They actually have no faith. If they have faith, it is the wishing beads. No one really cares about the rest.
In the eyes of Xi Mengfan and others, such talk as overthrowing the pope or punishing thieves to rectify heaven is just a slogan.
Therefore, Xu Yi dared to set foot on this Duoluo Mountain knowing that his identity was leaked.
"What Brother Xi said is exactly what I think. If I couldn't help myself, I wouldn't want to wear this identity..."
Xu Yi just stood up and saw Xi Mengfan staring at him in surprise.
