Looking at the silent Marquis Dingjun in the study, the housekeeper Liu couldn't help but asked, "Master, don't you want to... recruit Qin Yi?"

Marquis Dingjun stroked his white beard, shook his head and laughed, "Yesterday, that old immortal Tian Gaoyi came to talk to Qin Yi. I guess he must have told Qin Yi not to accept solicitation. In this case, why should I do it myself?

Are you bored?"

He expected that with Qin Yi's wisdom, he would naturally know the disadvantages of party strife.

People in the court cannot avoid forming cliques, but Qin Yi is still outside the court and is unlikely to step into this torrent prematurely.

Therefore, he gave up the idea of ​​recruiting.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, now we just need to communicate frequently and build good relationships.

Therefore, when Qin Yi was leaving, Marquis Dingjun shoved a box of Jin Chun Maojian over him despite the other party's polite refusal.

Although the gift is not heavy, it expresses an attitude of importance.

Even if he couldn't recruit such talented people with both civil and military skills, he still had to make good friends with them.

……

"Don't cry in front of my bed!" An angry voice came from Situ's courtyard.

In the room, Situ Hongguang was lying on the bed. Although his face was pale, he was sullen and roared at Ma Liangbi, who was about to cry.

Seeing Situ Hongguang's ferocious look, Ma Liangbi trembled with fright, and tears flowed back into his eyes.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Situ Hongguang gasped for a long time. When the pain caused by the roar subsided, he slowly said, "A man won't shed tears easily... I'm not dead, so why should I mourn?"

Ma Liangbi nodded repeatedly and said sadly, "I just felt sad when I saw my cousin lying on the bed, no longer as high-spirited as before..."

Gritting his teeth suddenly, Ma Liangbi said with hatred, "It's all a damn house that caused my cousin to suffer such heavy trauma..."

"No!" Before Ma Liangbi could finish speaking, Situ Hongguang interrupted loudly, "This is all Qin Yi's fault! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't lose to Hengyu!"

If it weren't for Qin Yi, he would have followed the family's instructions, taken blood pills, defeated Hengyu, won the first-class title, and entered the Taijiang Courtyard gloriously.

But now, he suffered two defeats in a row, was seriously injured in bed, and made his family disappointed... All of this is thanks to Qin Yi!

Unable to help himself, Situ Hongguang clenched his fists with overwhelming hatred in his eyes.

Hearing what Situ Hongguang said, Ma Liangbi was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what his cousin's injury in Hengyu's hands had to do with Qin Yi, but since he said so, that's it!

Therefore, Ma Liangbi also clenched his fist and said angrily, "Yes, it's Qin Yi's fault! This guy insulted us like this. If we don't kill him, it's hard to understand the hatred in our hearts!"

……

After visiting Situ Hongguang, Ma Liangbi left the courtyard on horseback full of anger.

Just as he turned the corner and was about to continue moving forward, he suddenly saw a man standing tall in front of him, with a fair complexion and a smile on his face. He shook his paper fan lightly, looking like a handsome young man.

Seeing the other party standing in the middle of the alley, not hiding or avoiding, as if he was trying to block him, Ma Liangbi stopped and frowned slightly.

Seeing that the other party was very impressive and not an ordinary person, Ma Liangbi suppressed his anger and asked, "Why did you stop me?"

Shaking the paper fan gently, the fair-skinned man sighed, "You have been insulted by Qin Yi many times, but you are living so happily. This ability to bend and stretch is unparalleled by other people."

Ma Liangbi was furious, "Nonsense, if it weren't for Qin Yi's extraordinary strength, I wouldn't have allowed him to run free until now, and I would have crushed him to death long ago!"

"So, Your Excellency, there is nothing you can do?" the fair-skinned man asked with a smile.

Ma Liangbi frowned and said, "How could I have no plan? I just haven't thought of it yet!"

The fair man folded the paper fan and said with a smile, "In that case, Ye has a way to avenge your shame."

Ma Liangbi was a little surprised and looked at the other person up and down, "What method can you tell me?"

"When the second- and third-level competitions are over, many newly promoted members of the Taijiang Academy will gather in Zuiyun Tower. This is a custom, do you know?" The fair man said with a smile.

Ma Liangbi frowned slightly, he naturally knew, but what next?

Seeing the confused look on the other party's face, the fair man didn't show off, walked forward slowly, and spoke to Ma Liangbi in a low voice.

After finishing speaking, the fair man shook the paper fan lightly and asked with a smile, "How about this strategy?"

"Wonderful!" Ma Liangbi immediately clapped his hands and praised happily, "This plan will ruin Qin Yi's reputation and give him no chance of success!"

The fair man smiled, and the smile on his face gradually became sinister!

……

It was already evening when he returned to the Taijiang Courtyard from the Hou Mansion. After Qin Yi had dinner, he planned to take a walk around the back mountain.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a person walking slowly not far away.

Taking advantage of the still-dark sky, Qin Yi saw that the visitor was dressed in blue and looked very majestic, so he greeted him with a smile, "Brother Jing, why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than Jing Xun.

With a slight smile, Jing Xun responded, "Come here to act as a lobbyist."

Qin Yi was a little surprised. He didn't know who Jing Xun would lobby for, so he smiled and said, "Then take a walk around the back mountain?"

Jingxun chuckled and nodded.

The two of them walked slowly around the back mountain, which was not high but covered with vegetation.

After walking a few steps, Jingxun said out loud, "Before lobbying, as a friend, I should give you some advice first."

"Brother Jing, please speak."

"A member of the First Class will attract a lot of favor, and many forces in the court will compete to recruit him. This was true in the past, and it is true now." Jing Xun said softly, with gentle words, "So my suggestion is that you should be cautious.

”

Qin Yi nodded, "Indeed."

At this time, he had already guessed that Jingxun was helping a certain force to recruit him.

As a lobbyist, he advised him to think carefully in advance, which shows that Jingxun treats him very sincerely.

After a pause, Jing Xun continued, "I was entrusted by Yuan Kui to come to lobby you this time."

Seeing that Qin Yi was a little confused, Jing Xun explained, "Zhu Yuankui is the best in the martial arts competition held in Zhanqing for one year. He went to see you when you competed."

Qin Yi suddenly understood and nodded.

"If you accept the solicitation, he will come to negotiate with you on behalf of the Jiangyuan School." Jing Xun added.

"I have made a decision. I will not accept solicitation rashly before entering the court." Qin Yi apologized, and then asked, "What does this general school mean?"

I don’t plan to join, but it’s okay to learn about it in advance.

Jing Xun nodded in appreciation of what Qin Yi said.

Faced with the solicitation of powerful forces, Qin Yi dared and knew how to refuse, which shows that he has an extraordinary mind.

He went on to explain, "Nowadays, there are many factions in the court and among the military generals. The Jiangyuan School is one of them. Its members were all former students of the Jiangyuan School. Together with Ding Junhou's Jingui Party, they are also members of the military generals' faction.

The two most powerful."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where is the Prime Minister, which faction is he?"

When Jing Xun heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "The military prime minister is as resourceful as a monster, and no one can form a party with him. Of course, when he gives an order, no one among the many military generals and factions dares to disobey."
