My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 164 Alliance
When Li Bailong heard this, he was shocked and looked up.

Then, Uncle Seventh Master lifted the scroll on the table with his delicate jade fingers, and the three characters "Langhuan Zhuan" were clearly written on the cover.

"..."

call.

It is indeed not the imperial book.

——Master, congratulations! There are already elders in the sect reading your book!
Li Bailong's acting skills were amazing, and coupled with his genuine feelings, he acted very decently, just revealing the shyness of "friends and relatives have searched for my books and read them" everywhere, and whispered: "I wrote it randomly."

Uncle Seven did not suspect anything and just asked, "How can a grown man write a story with a female lead?"

Li Bailong had a plan in mind. After thinking about it and hesitating for a moment, he answered, "Because I was born in Baihua Valley, the people I have been in contact with the most since I was a child are the elders and senior and junior sisters in the valley, so..."

"Then why did the heroine have to meet multiple men, repeatedly choose and entangle, and finally fall in love with one man?"

"..."

Depend on!
If someone else asked this question, Li Bailong would immediately answer - emotional choices are two-way, and regardless of gender, people have the right to follow their hearts and choose love.

But for Uncle Seventh Master, this answer would be a disaster!

In a flash, he said directly: "…because readers love to read it."

Uncle Seven was not satisfied and asked again, "Why do readers like to read this?"

So annoying!
Of course it’s because reality is so fulfilling!
Why do you think people like to read harem novels, romance novels, action movies and cool novels?
——Of course it’s because the readers’ lives are full of these elements! Everyone is a little tired of happiness, so they read the bland online articles to change things up!
Li Bailong answered with a stiff upper lip: "... Food and sex are human nature, and readers also want to pick it up."

Uncle Seven said sadly, "Because in reality, they have no choice but to be arranged and endure passively?"

"..."

Oh shit!

Uncle Seven exploded himself!
Li Bai's dragon head was as big as a bucket, and he said tremblingly: "There are a thousand readers, and there are a thousand Mo Fengs. How readers interpret the content of the book has nothing to do with the author. I don't know what they think..."

"Yeah……"

Seventh Uncle's voice was dim, and her eyes, as hollow as dead wood, became increasingly empty. She raised her head slightly, as if staring into space, and her tone was even calm: "My marriage was arranged by others, and I had no say in it. I could only passively endure it. That's not bad. What's worse is that I have to be chosen by others..."

"If you can't get it in real life, you will make it up in the book. So readers will like it when you write a heroine who chooses men. Haha, I also think it's quite interesting..."

——Stop talking, stop talking! Uncle Seven, I’m scared!
The third lady behind him took two steps forward, and it seemed that a biting cold air was quietly pressing down on him.

I can totally imagine the look in the guy's eyes behind him!
I don't want to talk about this either! I'm innocent!
Li Bailong just felt that he dared not sweat.

Then he heard Uncle Seven's eyes look like dead ashes, and he looked at him indifferently like a ghost in the Styx: "Being picked by others, but not being chosen, this is not the worst. The worst is that you were chosen, but..."

"——Uncle Master!"

Li Bailong interrupted him hastily and said weakly: "Gu, report to the police."

I would rather go to the Dali Temple and have an argument with the censor of the Cao Gang!
Then, he seemed to hear a low laugh.

Looking up, Uncle Seven had his face covered, his expression could not be seen, and his eyes were calm.

But his eyebrows were curved, as if he was smiling.

"You took off your clothes today, carried this clothesline on your back, and came to act. Your acting was so clumsy, so I'll tease you." She put down the book in her hand and said calmly, "You're okay at writing books, but acting is too exaggerated."

"..."

Li Bailong looked blank.

I, I was fooled?

But there was one person who was hit harder than him.

In my mind, Aozi's voice was more shaken than ever before.

He said in disbelief: "I, I've been fooled again!"

"Okay, what are you afraid of?" She softened her voice. "Even your Second Uncle has never been angry with you because of his own experience. Am I worse than Second Sister?"

what?
What a joke! Why does Second Uncle-Uncle always give me trouble?

Oh, woman, you are so generous in your words!
Li Bailong was disdainful in his heart, but he said, "Yes."

"Get up and talk."

Uncle Seven ordered, "Take away those messy things and put the clothes in order."

Xiao Nanyue came forward, took off the "thorn" that Li Bailong was carrying, and tidied his clothes.

The beautiful face is so close that you can kiss it by just leaning forward slightly. A woman who helps you tidy up your clothes with a serious expression and a focused look does have an alluring style and charm.

She explained in a low voice: "My uncle came today and summoned me to his room to question him."

"I have something to say to my nephew, please go down first."

After everything was tidied, the uncle gave the order in a clear and cold voice. Xiao Nanyue glanced at her "husband" and saw him nod slightly. She said nothing more, bowed respectfully to the three people in the room, and left obediently.

After the courtesan left, the uncle-master said, "Your concubine is very strange, and seems to have evil intentions." Li Bailong thought to himself, you are just my uncle-master, and you are not like the head uncle and the third uncle who can teach me, and we don't have a close relationship with them, so why are you making comments on me?

There is no sense of boundaries at all.

He thought about it, and considering that he still needed to get information from his Seventh Uncle, he answered, "She is not a concubine, and they are not married. There is something wrong with this... She is a secret agent of Beining."

He then told her about Xiao Nanyue's background, their fight, and even the agreement they reached in the end.

The uncle-master had seen the beauty and charm of the courtesan with his own eyes, and originally did not believe that Li Bailong could remain calm.

But according to what his nephew said, Jiang Lishu was almost deeply involved in the process of capturing the courtesan, so it makes sense... I didn't realize this kid is quite principled.

The slight unhappiness in her heart was relieved.

With a lighter tone, Uncle Seven said, "You told me such an important matter just like that?"

——The emperor’s uncle’s imperial decree has already been requested, and the amnesty documents have been filled out. What’s wrong with telling you?
Li Bailong said, "Master, you have forgiven me for offending the Cao Gang. This is a great favor. In comparison, this incident is nothing. Moreover, Baihua Valley has been very kind to me. I have nothing to hide from you all... After all, we have been through all the storms together."

"You don't have to climb the pole either."

Although the Seventh Uncle said this, his tone was a little lighter: "I haven't forgiven your sins yet. You said it yourself, let me deal with you... I haven't dealt with you yet."

"I will obey you, Uncle Master."

"Don't be so confident."

The uncle said calmly, "What if I ask you to agree to Big Brother's request and marry into the Cao Gang?"

Li Bailong nodded and said, "Okay!"

The calm eyes of the master finally showed a slight ripple - as if he was frightened.

She was a little surprised: "Huh?"

"For a lifelong event, the master must be present." Li Bailong turned around and said, "I will go and ask the master to come and discuss it."

"……return!"

"Yes."

Uncle Seven was a little annoyed and snorted, "Sly boy."

She didn't know what she was thinking about. After a while, she said, "Please sit down."

Out of courtesy, it was not appropriate to sit on the same couch with the master uncle. Sanniang brought a chair, Li Bailong thanked her, and sat in front of the couch. The master uncle flipped through "Langhuan Zhuan" and said, "Don't let Yunhua Hall know that I came to Huazhou. You must give good instructions to those stupid thieves you sent, including your concubine."

"Yes."

The uncle was so calm that he was almost old-fashioned. He said slowly, "I didn't like coming to Huazhou, but I received a letter from my elder brother a few days ago, asking me to go there. He praised you in the letter, saying that you are decisive and clear-headed, and you have quickly opened up the situation in Huazhou. Unfortunately, the better you do in Huazhou, the worse it is."

When she said this, she glanced at Li Bailong.

"When we were in Baihua Valley, King Zhao came to recruit you. My sisters asked me to ask my eldest brother for his opinion. He wrote to me and said that if we accepted King Zhao's invitation, it would be hard to distinguish between friends and enemies, and good and bad fortune would be hard to predict... Do you remember?"

Director Li nodded slowly.

Preventing the education of the same culture is probably a strategic consideration of the Cao Gang, so the leader would say this. After all, if this matter is carried out in depth, it will cause a direct conflict with the Cao Gang.

Although the eldest branch is leading the charge in Huazhou, it does not mean that the second and third branches are his friends.

The Three Ma Gang’s fight for control of the Cao Gang has been the power structure of the Cao Gang in recent decades. They may compete against each other, but in terms of willpower, their attitude should be unified.

"My eldest brother said that you have such a trust from King Zhao, and there is probably no man in the world who can refuse. He understands this very well. But now, the court's plan has been revealed. If you continue to succeed, the resistance will continue to increase, the enemy will become stronger, and the means may become more and more despicable."

This is also to be expected.

But Li Bailong was not too worried.

In the past twenty years, almost all of the eleven heads of the Education Department had a bad end, but Li Bailong was different from them - if Director Li did his job well, he could really become stronger!
He asked softly, "So what does the dragon head have to suggest?"

Hearing this, the uncle did not answer immediately.

She was silent for a moment, then slowly let out a sigh.

She really has no interest in dirty politics and filthy human hearts.

But who made her flow with Ma's blood? Who made her a member of the Ma family?

"Big Brother's term is coming to an end."

The uncle's tone was calm and he spoke directly, "He will definitely lose the next election. His governance ideas are completely different from those of my eldest cousin. It is only natural that he will face counterattacks when he retires. My eldest cousin is very good at making money. He used the Huazhou incident to win support from many people. He is gaining great momentum. He is trying to win the full support of Renxin Hall, Zhengnian Temple and even Fenglin Volcano. If he succeeds, the election will be a foregone conclusion."

"…and for all the reasons you can imagine, Big Brother couldn't win against him."

Li Bailong seemed to be thinking: "...So?"

“So, he wants to form an alliance.”
