My book friend Long Aotian

Chapter 185: Leader? Lao Deng!

Junior Sister Xu Wangyu, a well-known melon farmer, was called aside by Uncle Seventh to conduct a random inspection of agricultural products.

Ma Fulong was released by Sanniang.

The head of Yunhua Hall seemed to have calmed down completely, but there was still a frightening redness in his eyes. He said in a hoarse voice, "Master Li, can I have a word with you?"

The two of them came to one side, and Ma Fulong looked at the back of his seventh uncle from afar. He was silent for a long time, and then said awkwardly: "I don't want her to get hurt. Please persuade her to leave Huazhou."

Li Bailong replied calmly: "As I demonstrated before, this is her own decision."

"That's why I'm begging you." Ma Fulong paused and said with difficulty, "Your words are more effective than mine."

"She's in terrible shape."

"I know."

"She's been trapped in her own walled city."

"It makes sense."

"If you don't come out for some fresh air, you'll die."

“But Huazhou can’t do that.”

"Why not Huazhou?"

"Why do you ask when you already know the answer?" Ma Fulong said angrily, "At this critical juncture, the appearance of the little aunt in Huazhou may very well mean that the third branch is trying to interfere in the game between Prince Zhao and Lord Yun. Uncle Yun is decisive and wise. Even if Zhilan is in power, he will definitely kill her. He will not show mercy and will definitely attack the little aunt to demonstrate to the third branch..."

Li Bailong said calmly: "You are the one in charge of Huazhou, right?"

"But Lord Yun will definitely know!"

"So you want to drive Master Uncle away, is it to protect her, or to avoid a dilemma for yourself?"

Ma Fulong said excitedly: "Both! Is there a conflict? I don't want my aunt to be hurt, and I don't want to be the one who executes orders and hurts her with my own hands!"

"Then let me put it another way."

Li Bailong said in a meaningless tone, "Look at how much better Master Seventh is now than before, which proves that it is better to obey her wishes and stay in Huazhou than to drive her away. So, for Master Seventh's mental health, so that she can recover and relax in Huazhou, can you go against Lord Yun's order for her?"

Ma Fulong said in a decisive and cold tone: "Absolutely not. Leaving Huazhou is the best choice."

"Then you have succumbed to power and reality."

Li Bailong said calmly: "Don't get me wrong. I don't mean to laugh at or despise you. I understand your difficulties, but please give up your fantasies and stop pretending to be a saint. It's a dilemma in this world, and you have already made your choice."

What do you know.

What do you know!
Ma Fulun was distraught, with resentment and pain condensing in his heart, making him almost roar.

If my little aunt stays in Huazhou, she will be dead. Once the Constellation Plan is activated, she will definitely be the first sacrifice and there is no way she can escape, so she must be driven away no matter what.

But he couldn't tell the reason.

So he suffered the disappointment of his aunt and the contempt of Li Bailong.

No one will understand his motives, and no one will approve of his actions.

so tired.

So painful.

--why?
Why is everyone unwilling to be in the right position and do the right thing?

As a member of the third house, why did Xiaogu come to Huazhou? She knew the methods of the first house, why did she insist on staying? Li Bailong was so smart, why didn't he persuade Xiaogu to leave?

They go against fate and act according to inexplicable reason.

Everyone...everyone is like this!
That’s why things in the world become complicated! That’s why so many tragedies happen that shouldn’t have happened!

and so.

——A voice in my heart said.

Therefore, people have to accept their fate.

Therefore, the path of destiny is the most magnificent cause that can change the world.

I will fight for it, I will dedicate myself to it.

Because, this is my destiny.

In order to accomplish this task, not only me, but also the entire Cao Gang, must be prepared.

Even if she...

A figure as pure as the melting moon came gracefully, with a fairy wearing a light veil, watching from a distance.

After being separated for several years, time and fate have taken their toll. He has already married and had children, and she has experienced an unprecedented change in fate. Although he can still recognize his aunt at a glance, she is no longer the same as he remembered.

She no longer had a smile as bright as the warm sun, no more lively childishness, no hearty laughter, no tender gaze... All the bright colors in the memory were weathered and eroded by the ruthless fate.

He originally thought that such a beautiful girl, such a noble princess, such a kind person, deserved the best love in the world, the most honorable treatment, and the most regretless life.

and so.

——No, it can't be her.

Only she can't do it, only she doesn't have to make sacrifices, can't sacrifice, and can't be the price.

The whispers and instigations in my heart became blurred and faded away unwillingly.

Ma Fulong endured the pain in his head again and again, but his heart calmed down. He once again strengthened his determination not to care about misunderstandings and criticisms, nor to pay attention to Li Bailong's contempt and ridicule.

His mind has never changed.

Glancing at the young lady standing not far away, the proud son of the Ma family's eldest house said to Li Bailong: "No matter what you say, I will make her leave Huazhou."

"That's such a pity."

Li Bailong shook his head: "I'm blocking your way again."

"It doesn't matter." Ma Fulong's eyes were calm, "We have been enemies for a long time."

Li Bailong tilted his head: "But you never won once."

Master Ma was almost thrown off balance by this sudden critical hit, but the next moment, his soul sank into the abyss, and cold air swept through his soul. He had already thought of the price of losing again this time.

"I must win this time."

if not.

Otherwise, if that happens...

Li Bailong, I will definitely kill you with my own hands.

"Murderous intent."

In his soul, Ao Bao said: "His killing intent this time has reached its peak, far exceeding the previous times."

——Previously, this Master Ma had inexplicably harbored murderous intentions towards Li Bailong.

Li Bailong was not very surprised. He could naturally see that Ma Fulun had a forbidden feeling for his Seventh Uncle that went beyond blood ties, and that this love was quite twisted.

Now, from Ma's perspective, Li Bailong, who came from nowhere and became the leader, was favored by his uncle and defeated himself, who was his childhood sweetheart who came earlier. Naturally, he is very angry.

"I'm afraid it's more than that." Ao Bao thought thoughtfully, "Based on my experience, if it was just a bull, there wouldn't be such a level of murderous intent."

"Ok?"

This is the assertion of a professional. Li Bailong immediately became alert: "What is the reason for such a murderous intent?" Aozi thought about it and said hesitantly: "It seems that he feels... that he will be bullied twice?"

Huh? There are still experts?

Li Bailong subconsciously looked around - do I have any like-minded people?

It’s hard to understand... It’s normal for him to feel jealous and resentful when he found out his aunt was taken away by me. But being bullied twice, what’s the reason for the second time?

"Please explain it more clearly."

"I'm just making a wild guess. My friend hasn't encountered a similar situation!"

After all, for a peerless strong man like Aozi who is decisive in killing, once he discovers something, it means "the first time he is green, the last time he is green", and there will be no situation of "being bullied twice". This question is beyond the scope of his scope.

Li Bailong asked for a long time, but when he saw that Aozi was hesitant and couldn't explain clearly, he gave up.

This guy is really not very reliable.

In front of him, Ma Fulong no longer bothered him.

He just took a deep look at his Seventh Uncle, then said goodbye and left, his back looking lonely and desolate.

Uncle Seven watched him leave, then walked over to Li Bailong.

"What did he tell you?"

"It's nothing more than words of pleading and threatening."

Li Bailong was very graceful and told the truth: "Uncle Master, Master Ma has deep feelings for you, but his feelings conflict with his mission, which makes him feel at a loss. This is also human nature. He thought about you, so he wanted you to leave Huazhou. His intentions were good, but his execution was bad."

Miss Ma glanced at him without showing any emotion. She said, "Yun Hua Tang is your enemy, and you are saying good things about him?"

"My heart is bright, so I am upright."

"That... can't be refuted."

The uncle sighed softly, "I am very willful to force myself to stay in Huazhou, and it is unreasonable to put myself in danger. This matter will not benefit you at all, but will only add to your troubles... Why are you still helping me?"

"As for kindness, Master Uncle finally lent a hand to Linxian Fenglin, and I am grateful for that, so I have to repay him. As for status, although Master Uncle and I are not close, he is still a member of Baihua Valley. I have received great kindness from our sect, and I will do my best to help my senior sisters even if they have problems, let alone my elders."

Li Bailong spoke in a light tone and smiled.

"Even if there were no such two reasons, I would still stand up for the people of Lin County when Feng Lin was in trouble, let alone when my uncle-master was in trouble?"

In his mind, Aozi was so angry that he kept chattering when he saw him practicing the method of humiliating women again.

"You're dead!" He threatened, "My plan is to 'make this woman die without getting involved'. You're doing the reverse training and using it the other way around. Although it can save her from a desperate situation, it will cost you yourself! If you do this, you'll get entangled by a lunatic, and you'll cry later!"

"Stupid."

Li Bailong said proudly, "I don't want to pick up girls, so why would I be entangled by Uncle Seven? You, man, is there no other emotion between men and women in this world except love? Besides, it's okay for others, but this is Uncle Seven, do you actually think she would have expectations and hopes for love between men and women?"

"S-That's true."

Aozi was a little mute, but he said stubbornly: "I admit that she is stronger in terms of the intensity and depth of the emotional setbacks she has suffered, but who can predict what will happen in the future? Maybe even after experiencing such setbacks, she still has a beautiful yearning for love in her heart..."

Again.

People who practice martial arts have a weakness… they can’t help themselves when they see a flaw.

Li Bailong subconsciously stabbed out a brutal blow.

"Just like your friend, who has experienced countless emotional setbacks but still keeps fighting, is the driving force behind his emotions the beautiful yearning for love?"

"Yes, yes, so what... Bah! It's obviously not! My friend is training his mind with emotions! This is called the calamity of the world!"

"laugh."

"Shit! You're still laughing! I don't allow you to laugh at him! Idiot, idiot!"

The discussion about Uncle Seven's relationship issues ended because of the detour. In the real world, the two stood in silence for a moment. Uncle Seven hesitated and whispered, "I insisted on staying in Huazhou because of my eldest brother's secret order."

Li Bailong suddenly understood after hearing this.

"Thank you for your honesty, uncle." He said, "I see. But why did the dragon head let..."

"Recently, there have been rumors in the court that Lord Yun and King Zhao have had many private contacts." Seventh Uncle looked at him with his beautiful eyes and said quietly, "Brother, you have served as the leader once, so you want to serve again. You are making all your efforts to arrange the next election. When you heard this rumor, you were worried and asked me to stay here for a few more days..."

"..."

Li Bailong felt a little guilty.

So that's it, but...

He was puzzled and asked, "Although Baihua Valley is closer to Huazhou, why must it be Uncle Master who comes? Your identity is special. If it is exposed, the attacks you will receive are unimaginable. Doesn't Longtou have any relevant arrangements..."

Miss Ma immediately interrupted him and said calmly, "Brother, you never make mistakes when doing things."

Li Bailong was shocked and fell silent as he looked at his uncle with calm eyes.

Since Longtou never makes any mistakes when doing anything, he must have taken into consideration the possibility of "sister's whereabouts being exposed".

Just now, Master Uncle insisted on staying here, which means that the secret order from Dragon Head is "even if your whereabouts are exposed and you are attacked and humiliated by the eldest wife, you must stay in Huazhou"...

If you think about it carefully, Uncle Master is indeed the best candidate.

After all, Huazhou is the territory of the big house. If the third house sends ordinary subordinates to intrude, the big house can use any means to detain the other party, with no taboos.

But the person who came was the master's uncle, who had suffered a great injustice because of the divorce and had a special status and treatment in the Cao Gang. Therefore, the eldest wife could not use any coercive means and could only find ways to make the master's uncle leave... So theoretically speaking, the master's uncle can stay here openly.

——As long as you can resist all kinds of non-physical tricks.

For example, gossip, joking, ridicule and ridicule.

There is no need to exaggerate, spread rumors or slander, or speak ill of others. Just retell what happened that year, and countless ridicules and criticisms will come like a tide.

This is too cruel for a girl who became a laughing stock eight years ago.

Seventh Uncle just stood there with his eyes lowered and his pupils like dead wood.

She was almost numbly prepared to accept any outcome.

Li Bailong couldn't even ask, "Since you already knew it, why did you agree to it?"

After a moment, he let out a breath.

"——The leader really thinks highly of me."

he said.

Miss Ma looked surprised.

"Since the leader does everything without omission, he must have considered the possibility of Seventh Uncle's identity being exposed and causing criticism from the first wife."

He said calmly, "Since the Dragon Head has no other plans and has told Master Uncle to stay in Huazhou, he must have great confidence in me and believes that I am extremely talented and chivalrous, and will not sit idly by and watch my elders being bullied. He will protect Master Uncle from the attack from the eldest wife."

Having said that, he smiled in response to his uncle's puzzled look.

"——You are really good at judging people."

The uncle was distracted for a moment, his eyes were blank, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Naturally, she didn't know what was in her mind while her nephew, who was smiling brightly and cheerfully, was thinking.

——Lao Deng, you can’t be elected.

I said.
