Chapter 77 Loyalty is not absolute, that is...

Don't come over.

Yanluo hid in the quilt like an ostrich, grabbing the quilt with both hands and refusing to let go.

Her heart was beating like a drum and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

Chu Wujiang quietly approached the bed.

The footsteps were particularly clear in the room.

Yanluo felt as if her heart was about to burst out of her chest, and she closed her eyes tightly.

At this moment, Chu Wujiang lifted a corner of the quilt and said with a smile on his face:
"Well, you did a great job."

"The bed is very warm, and I can start my next job."

call!
A cool breeze blew over, and Yan Luo couldn't help but shiver. She finally opened her eyes with some shame and anger, wanting to glare at Chu Wujiang, but she reflexively remembered the elder's instructions:

【All this is for the sake of the overall situation! 】

[Even if Lord Longcheng does something excessive, you must be patient. ]

[Even if it means doing something like that! ]

Elder Jing always talks about the overall situation. As his favorite disciple, Yanluo naturally also suffers from this problem.

The difference between the two is that Elder Jing makes plans for the overall situation, while Yanluo sacrifices herself for the overall situation.

So she could only get out of bed obediently and pretend to be unhappy:

"Sir, you can't lift the quilt like this."

"The warm bed will become cold again after a long time."

Chu Wujiang replied indifferently:
"understood."

"It's cold, so it's cold."

Yanluo had to ask for help, so she could only compromise and say:

"Then what else do you want, sir?"

Chu Wujiang saw Yanluo and smiled softly:
"It's very simple. I have something for you to keep."

Yanluo just had no experience in political struggles, but she was not a fool. When she heard Chu Wujiang asking her to send the Hundred Ghosts Picture to Mangshan and hide it, she immediately realized that something was wrong and asked hurriedly:

"Sir, can I tell the elders about this?"

Chu Wujiang immediately rejected it:

"No."

“Confidentiality is also a measure of protection.”

"If you cannot perform the mission, you can leave now."

Any noble family requires absolute loyalty from their subordinates and guards.

If loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyal.

That's why they train generation after generation of servants. For example, Master Wang and Master Lin's families have served the Chu family for more than six generations.

The gravekeeper sent Yanluo to please Chu Wujiang.

Chu Wujiang requires the other party to be completely loyal to him.

Otherwise, what do I need this guard for?
Yanluo lowered her head and thought for a moment, then mustered up her courage and put forward her own conditions:
"If I do this, can your Excellency forgive the gravekeeper?"

Chu Wujiang was slightly stunned, then smiled and said:

"What did the gravekeeper do to deserve my forgiveness?"

Yanluo took a deep breath and said slowly:
"The elders have always insisted that the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect wanted to lure the snake out of its hole and did not send any reinforcements, which angered the adults."

“That’s why there’s a conflict between the two families.”

"The elder is just considering the overall situation, and he didn't mean to be negligent."

"If I complete this mission..."

Chu Wujiang interrupted coldly:
"Miss Yanluo is indeed smart, but this is not what your elders really think."

“The tomb keeper suppressed Mangshan and had countless masters. Not only did he take the imperial silver to dig up the underground ancient tombs, but he also had the spiritual rice provided by the Chu family.”

"When the Chu family doesn't have enough spiritual rice, the gravekeepers on Mount Mang can use it to make wine."

"If we only consider the enemy's intention to divert their attention, we can at least send one or two experts to assist."

"The Chu family has applied so many times, and Elder Jing just responded with words."

"I'm afraid it's not because of luring the tiger away from the mountain, but waiting for the Chu family to be destroyed."

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Yanluo's forehead:
"My Lord, the elders have absolutely no such intention."

“The gravekeeper has been friendly with the Chu family for generations, how could he do such a thing.”

Over the past two days, Chu Wujiang further analyzed and concluded that there was a great possibility that the person who intended to wipe out the Chu family had already negotiated with the gravekeeper, Elder Jing, in advance.

After Chu Wujiang was finished, they would still provide resources to the gravekeepers, and even increase their efforts. Elder Jing deliberately procrastinated and delayed time.

After all, the noble families are not idiots. If they want to guard against the tomb keepers interfering and destroying their families, they should at least talk it over with Elder Jing before taking action slowly.

So Chu Wujiang sneered:
"The truth of the matter is not important."

"Maybe Elder Jing really has the overall situation in mind. Maybe he accepted bribes from someone and is just waiting to see the outcome."

"None of this is important. What's important is that the gravekeeper didn't send any reinforcements."

"How do you want me to view this? You are the only one who can protect me, and yet you raise objections again and again?"

Yanluo half-knelt down and swore:

"As long as you can forgive the gravekeeper, I am willing to offer you my utmost loyalty."

"Let the adults drive you."

She was sincere and hoped to resolve the conflict between the two families.

Otherwise, the gravekeeper will have to suppress the Wangui Sect while preventing Chu Wujiang from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, and something big will definitely happen in the future.

Chu Wujiang was not moved by Yanluo's loyalty, and asked:
"You said you would let me do whatever I want. What if I asked you to kill the gravekeeper?"

Yan Luo broke out in a cold sweat, she understood what Chu Wujiang meant.

If compensation is required, Chu Wujiang only wants complete loyalty, without any indecision.

"me……"

Chu Wujiang crossed his hands and said slowly:
"Then let me put it another way. You insist on putting the overall situation first. Who is the overall situation?"

"Is it Elder Jing, or me?"

“You just have to figure this out.”

“Only then can the Chu family and the gravekeeper resume their former cooperation.”

Miss Yanluo’s biggest problem is that she takes herself too seriously.

In fact, if there is a conflict between the Chu family and the gravekeeper, the court has to issue an order to mediate. Who does she think she is?

As a result, after Chu Wujiang's words, she really showed her sense of ownership and thought she was very important.

It seemed as if if she did not agree to be loyal to Chu Wujiang, the two families would go to war.

Chu Wujiang naturally had to seize this key point, create an opportunity, and completely win her over.

Placing the Hundred Ghosts Picture is the first step to splitting the two.

Elder Jing sent Yanluo over and used a sugar-coated bullet because he believed that Yanluo would sacrifice everything for the overall situation.

Chu Wujiang wants to brainwash her and force her to change her allegiance by forcing the overall situation.

Of course, this kind of rhetoric is not a stamp of thought. Yanluo is not so easy to change her allegiance. She just asked in a low voice:

"If I am loyal to you, will you take action against the gravekeeper?"

Chu Wujiang said with a warm smile:

"of course not."

"I just told Miss Yanluo that being loyal to me means being loyal to the overall situation."

"Only if you do this can the relationship between the two families develop in a healthy way."

"If you are unwilling, I can only assume that the gravekeeper has no sincerity in paying compensation."

You are the gift of reparation.

You have to get your attitude right.

Yanluo let out a long breath and nodded:

"I will take the Hundred Ghosts Picture back to Mangshan and won't tell the elders."

I hope the choice I make can maintain the relationship between the two families.

Chu Wujiang smiled, took out a bottle of pills from his pocket, handed it to Miss Yanluo and said:
"very good."

"This bottle of Baicao Dan is given to you as a reward for the mission."

Yanluo was a little resistant at first, and Chu Wujiang added softly:
"Your Wood Virtue Body is most suitable for this kind of elixir."

Poaching requires little bit of effort.

Yanluo felt the concern and finally decided to accept the pill. Then she picked up the box containing the Hundred Ghosts Picture and disappeared on the spot.

Chu Wujiang looked at the other person's receding figure and couldn't help laughing:

[Chunlu, did you see that? This kind of guy who cares about the overall situation is the easiest to deceive. ]

The Snow Girl was silent, and finally managed to utter a few words:

[My Lord, you are so mean. ]
