Chapter 1084 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

Emperor Xia waved his hand with a smile, not letting him continue: "You think I am deliberately making things difficult for you, so you are dissatisfied with me. For a person who has not experienced the hardships of officialdom, I can understand "

Ye Liuyun felt relieved after hearing this. "Fortunately, Emperor Xia didn't misunderstand me!"

But what Emperor Xia said next was much more serious.

"You don't like to mince words, so I'll tell you the truth. The Great Xia Dynasty is currently facing internal and external troubles. You are now both a powerful prince and a consort. I need your absolute loyalty. At the critical moment, you can stand with me. together."

"As long as I don't go against my true feelings, of course I will stand with Emperor Xia! I wonder what Emperor Xia means by 'standing together'?"

Ye Liuyun didn't say anything. He didn't want to be a lackey for Emperor Xia and do some evil things for him.

"I mean not to betray the dynasty on the big issues of right and wrong!" Emperor Xia said directly.

It is estimated that through Zuo Xiang's communication with Ye Liuyun and Ye Liuyun's character, he saw that he didn't like to give hints in a roundabout way, so he told him everything directly.

"That's natural!" Ye Liuyun also expressed his stance immediately.

At least for now, he has no reason to betray the dynasty. And as far as he knew, Emperor Xia's governance was pretty good.

Emperor Xia nodded, and then gave Ye Liuyun a general introduction to the dynasty.

Including some alien evil creatures attacking cities and territories in the south, the Great Xia Dynasty is uniting with the demons to prepare for a confrontation.

There are also some internal problems, such as Chengjia and Fengjia, these two behemoths.

"The Feng family has been weak recently and has restrained itself a lot. However, after starting a family, it has become more and more unruly and interfered more and more in the dynasty."

The reason why Emperor Xia told Ye Liuyun this was to prevent him from cooperating with the dynasty's opponents.

Ye Liuyun immediately reported on his cooperation with the Feng family. He also said that he would help the imperial court and deal with Chengjia.

Dealing with starting a family was his goal. If we can cooperate with Emperor Xia, the success rate will be even higher.

"It would be nice if you could cooperate with the Feng family and crack down on the established families! I will ask someone to give you a list of the established properties. As long as they are within your territory, you can clean them up."

Emperor Xia actually agreed with Ye Liuyun's approach.

Later, Emperor Xia asked Ye Liuyun what he thought of the princes.

Ye Liuyun said frankly: "I have the same views on several princes, and I have no inclination. It's just that the fourth prince helped me more, so I had more contact with him. The prince wanted to kill me in the secret realm before, so there was a conflict. "

"What about the seventh prince?" Emperor Xia was very concerned about these princes, and it seemed that he still valued the issue of succession.

"He and I have an equal contract of non-aggression!" Ye Liuyun said frankly.

Emperor Xia nodded, but still reminded Ye Liuyun: "Don't get involved in the princes' struggle for power."

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun agreed immediately.

But he also thought that the fourth prince had asked him to participate in some competition to enter the secret realm. So he immediately informed Emperor Xia.

"That doesn't matter. You can go if you want." Emperor Xia did not object to him participating in the competition as a helper.

After all, it was indeed the fourth prince's ability to find a helper like Ye Liuyun.

Then, Emperor Xia reminded Ye Liuyun: "You previously killed the son of King Zhenyuan and Marquis Pingping of Nanhou, as well as a talented disciple who married him. They probably want to take revenge on you!

King Zhenyuan and Marquis Pingnan have been making frequent small moves recently. They have all taken refuge and started families, and now they don’t quite obey the orders of the dynasty! "

"Understood!" Ye Liuyun agreed, but thought in his heart: "This Emperor Xia is also very powerful. He just made me his consort, and he wants to use my hand to help him weaken his opponent."

He believed that if Emperor Xia wanted to help him deal with these people, he would definitely find a way.

However, Emperor Xia directly told him that these three families were going to deal with him, so he naturally wanted him to help Emperor Xia get rid of them.

Even with a big force like Chengjia, Ye Liuyun could at least draw their attention and reduce the pressure on Emperor Xia.

Even if Ye Liuyun didn't understand officialdom matters, he could still hear such words.

Emperor Xia nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll be waiting for your good news! Go and get busy!"

"yes!"

Ye Liuyun agreed and exited Emperor Xia's study.

"Is this the end? Don't you want to give me some protective treasures or something?"

In his heart, he secretly believed that Emperor Xia was too stingy.

But when he thought about it, Emperor Xia had already given his two daughters to him. It was a good deal for him, so he felt relieved and went to find Xia Qiong and Ling Shuang happily.

When he arrived, he found that Xia Qiong and Ling Shuang were already waiting for him, and they were still wearing battle armor.

"What are you doing? Aren't you leaving the palace?" Ye Liuyun asked in confusion.

Xia Qiong told Ye Liuyun: "Father asked us to take you into a secret realm of the royal family, and try to catch a high-level ferocious beast to defend you!"

"He also gave each of us a ferocious beast as a dowry!" Ling Shuang added.

"Is there such a good thing? My father-in-law is really interesting!" Only then did Ye Liuyun realize that Emperor Xia had already arranged it.

"I'm so envious of you! I'm not even qualified to go in!" the fourth prince said enviously.

"What place have you not entered before?" Ye Liuyun did not expect that the fourth prince was not qualified to enter.

"That's a place specifically for princes and princesses to select ferocious beasts. Usually, royal children are only allowed in before their weddings or important tasks." Xia Qiong explained to Ye Liuyun.

"Is it dangerous?" Ye Liuyun was a little curious when he saw that they were all armed.

"There are ferocious beasts in the Tianzun realm inside, so of course there will be danger."

Later, Xia Qiong introduced Ye Liuyun to the situation in the secret realm.

"There will be various tests in it. Usually the ferocious beast realm rewarded to you will be three levels higher than the level you pass the test. So if you can pass the test of the sixth level, you can get the ninth level. A ferocious beast.”

"What kind of test?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

"It's random, I don't know the details!"

Xia Qiong didn't go in either. She only knew that the content of the test inside was not fixed.

"Then let's go!"

Ye Liuyun said goodbye to the fourth prince, and rushed to the secret realm under the leadership of Xia Qiong and Ling Shuang.

They walked through the palace and came to the northeast corner of the palace backyard, where there was a very ordinary wooden house. There was a group of Custodes guarding the outside.
