Wei Lai stared at the group of Cang Yu Guards who were forming a battle formation in front of him, and some strange emotions inexplicably welled up in his heart - half a year ago, the Cang Yu Guard, who was only half a pair of centaurs, had to do everything he could to deal with, and even took risks. And in just half a year, at this moment, as long as he has a thought in his heart, he can kill and take Yu, and the feeling of easily taking care of the life and death of others is inexplicably fascinating.

"Say it again, don't enter the state pastor's mansion!" At this time, the leader of Cang Yuwei shouted again.

Wei Lai's thoughts were pulled back, his heart was shocked, his face turned a little pale, and even dense sweat stains appeared on his forehead.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of these Cangyu Guards, he was just shocked by the thought that rose in his heart at that moment to regard human life as a mustard......

With Cang Yuwei's notoriety in Dayan, Wei Lai didn't think that any of the guys in front of him were not innocent, he was just worried that such a murderous thought would one day shake his mind and let some innocent people die under his sword.

Therefore, he sank his mind and did not make a move at the first time, but said in a low voice: "I am Wei Lai, the grandson of the state pastor, and I want to see him." ”

"This is the last warning!"

"Everyone, either ...... back down," Wei Lai said, his voice suddenly lowered by him.

"Die!"

As these words came out, the faces of those Cang Yuwei changed slightly, thinking that everyone had heard rumors about Wei Lai these days, not to mention the identity of Jiang Huanshui's only grandson, that is, the deeds of the three of them who overwhelmed many disciples in the Tianque Realm with the strength of the three of them a few days ago were enough to make these Cang Yuwei secretly frightened.

Squeak –

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, the gate of the state pastor's mansion suddenly opened slowly, and a tender voice sounded from the crack in the gate.

"Wei Gongzi was in Gutong City, but he swore by it, and he was in a posture of not interacting with the state pastor. Why haven't I seen each other for a few months, and this ancestral and grandson love has reached such a point?"

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, only to feel that the voice and tone were extremely familiar, and before he could remember who it was, a red figure still stepped out of the mansion door, looking at him with a smile.

Sun Daren's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Demon girl!"

The surrounding Cang Yuwei hurriedly turned around respectfully, and said to the man, "Miss Ji." ”

......

"Ah Lai, remember, be careful of that demon girl! Don't let him suck the essence!"

"Also, we're not short of money now! Don't sell yourself again! Man, keep yourself clean!"

Sun Daren shouted at Wei Lai in pain, but his body was still involuntarily stopped behind by those Cangyu guards.

Wei Lai followed Ji Huanxi into the state pastor's mansion with a helpless face, but he was helpless about Sun Daren's mouth.

The state minister's mansion is a little dim, Jiang Huanshui used to be diligent and thrifty, so at night the lights on the promenade are not all lit, but there will be some patrolling soldiers walking back and forth, a little more angry. But today, not only were the lights out, but even the patrolling soldiers were gone, but Wei Lai could clearly feel that there were many prying eyes in the surrounding darkness, thinking that it was the dark saucers that Cang Yuwei had placed in various places in the mansion gate.

"Gongzi Wei has been living a very prosperous life these days, and the concubine has heard about Gongzi's deeds in Tailin City. Wei Lai was secretly observing the situation in the state pastor's mansion, and Ji Huanxi, who was walking in front, suddenly whispered.

Wei Lai was silent for a while, looked at the girl's still graceful back, and said softly: "I didn't expect to meet the girl again." ”

The girl didn't mind Wei Lai's blunt change of topic, turned around, showed a look of grievance, and then said: "The concubine's life is hard, once the mother encounters any drudgery, the first thing that comes to mind is the concubine." Speaking of which, it is still your blessing to the son, Niangniang secretly felt that Lord Jin alone could not settle this mess in Ningzhou, so the concubine could only follow it. ”

Saying that, Ji Huanxi also glanced at Wei Lai with all kinds of amorous feelings, which seemed to blame, but in fact it was more like flirting.

It's a pity that Wei Lai still didn't understand the amorous feelings, ignored the affectionate eyes handed by the girl, and whispered: "Mess? It's just that I don't know who made this Ningzhou look like this." ”

Ji Huanxi simply stopped, and looked at Wei Lai with a resentful expression: "Childe is blaming me?"

"Don't dare. Next

It's just a matter of facts, not to mention that the girl is not the culprit. Wei Lai said in a deep voice, somewhat impatient in his tone. Compared with the girl chatting in front of him, he wanted to go to the study of the state pastor mansion and see Jiang Huanshui.

"Then in the opinion of Gongzi, who is the culprit?" Ji Huanxi didn't know if he didn't see Wei Lai's anxiety, or if he had the heart to embarrass him, and he didn't mean to take a step, but stared at Wei Lai with a smile, squinted and asked.

Wei Lai's brows furrowed: "I am just a grass man in Xia, I don't have the ability to see through the world like a girl, if the girl wants to discuss political affairs, or ask another master, and there is something important to see the state pastor in Xia, I will not accompany her." ”

After saying this, Wei Lai had no intention of staying, and he was about to walk out of the corridor alone after Ji Huanxi.

It was only before his footsteps took a step, and before he even passed by Ji Huanxi, Ji Huanxi's voice sounded again: "Gongzi is in such a hurry, but for those few traitors who have just been captured by General Meng?"

Wei Lai's figure was stunned, and he heard Ji Huanxi's words, looked back at the girl with heavy eyes, and said in a low voice: "The girl is well-informed, I just arrived at the state pastor's mansion, and the girl knew about it." ”

Wei Lai's tone was somewhat surprised, because the situation was urgent, after Bai Tongpao and a few people left with Meng Rank, he and Xiao Mu and the others separated and came to the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion non-stop. You must know that with his cultivation, the speed of the tutorial is that even ordinary people can hardly catch up with it. He had just arrived at the State Pastoral Mansion, and Ji Huanxi knew about it, saying that he was well-informed, and he looked down on this Ji girl.

Ji Huanxi didn't care about the surprise in Wei Lai's tone, and continued with a smile: "I haven't seen my son for a long time, and I miss it very much. But I don't want my son to be so ruthless, so the concubine has no choice but to go back to interrogate the prisoner. ”

Speaking of this, Ji Huanxi's eyebrows were raised, the expression on his face was resentful, he stretched out his hand to stroke his full chest, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's just that the concubine is suffering from lovesickness, and the son is puzzled, and the depression turns into boredom in his heart, so he can only find those prisoners to get angry......"

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, could only stop his pace, and said helplessly: "What does the girl want to talk about?"

Ji Huanxi showed joy on his face, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about the topic of Fang Cai, who does Gongzi think is the culprit of Ningzhou's current appearance?"

Wei Lai's face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "The imperial court has cut the domain, but there are always Qi and Ghost Rong on the border, and Da Chu is only friendly on the surface, and he has never really given up snooping on Yan." The imperial court cut the military salary, but the size of the Sanxiao army was huge, and the various departments of Ningzhou could not make ends meet, and finally they could only take it from the people. ”

"So, who set the amount of taxes in Ningzhou?" Ji Huanxi waited for Wei to say this, and then opened his mouth to ask.

Wei Lai's face stiffened, and he said: "If the state pastor doesn't act like this, then who will support the Sanxiao Army? The enemy country on the border is eyeing each other, and under the disaster, it will be a misery, and the people will not be able to make a living, and this move is nothing more than a helpless move to choose the lesser of two evils." ”

"Besides, the dragon is a disaster, it is not overnight, the court knows that Ao Xiu is by no means a good type, but still allows him to enter the Wupan River, swallow the luck of the Wupan Basin, and let the spiritual energy around the basin be thin. This is not enough, and she is trying to make it the god of Zhaoyue, so it has intensified and helped to abuse it, the girl can't say that it is also the fault of the state pastor, right?"

In the face of Wei Lai's aggressive inquiry, Ji Huanxi still smiled: "The Dragon King of Weishui is about to die, everyone in the north knows it, Qi and Gui Rong are interested in supporting Jiang Shen to enter Weishui, seize the opportunity, get his luck, and strengthen the national strength." Gongzi also said just now, Qi and the ghost will die in my Dayan's heart, if one day they really enter Weishui, the country's fortunes will be prosperous, and the army will be overwhelmed, then it will no longer be the land of Ningzhou, but my entire Dayan! This is also the lesser of two evils, how can Gongzi be responsible. ”

The girl's rebuttal caught Wei Lai unexpectedly, and Wei Lai, who was not good at this, couldn't help but be stunned, and it was difficult to respond for a while.

"The girl was sharp-toothed, and she almost fell into the girl's way. The state pastor is a little tax, and the girl is the future of the entire Ningzhou, how can the two speak the same language. Moreover, although the state pastor imposed taxes, he also tried his best to cultivate land and do business. And the court in the girl's mouth is just blindly taking advantage of it, how can it be compared?" After a while, Wei Lai replied

God, he shook his head and said with a wry smile, if it weren't for his shrewdness, I'm afraid he would have been surrounded by Ji Huanxi into the pit at this moment.

And after saying this, he didn't give Ji Huanxi a chance to say more, and then said: "We have already finished talking about what the girl wants to talk about, and please ask the girl to lead the way and meet the state pastor earlier." ”

"Why should Childe be in a hurry. Ji Huanxi smiled calmly, he didn't care about the final win or loss of this debate, and he didn't have the heart to refute what Wei Lai said in the end. As she said this, she turned around again and began to walk towards the place where Jiang Huanshui was.

Wei Lai stepped forward to follow, but the girl continued: "If the prince wants to save those Ningzhou children and their families on this trip, he only needs to say a word to the concubine, and the concubine can order them to release them." The process goes faster, and it is estimated that tomorrow they will be able to eat the dumplings made in their own homes on the stove. ”

Wei Lai was silent when he heard this, he didn't believe that the woman in front of him would be so kind, he thought that there would be a but.

"But ......" As he expected, as soon as such a thought came to him, Ji Huanxi's voice came again: "But if Gongzi wants to save Ningzhou, then I think Gongzi doesn't have to maintain bothering the state pastor anymore." ”

"What do you mean?" Wei Lai frowned and asked rhetorically, although he expected Ji Huanxi's "but", he didn't expect such a "but".

Ji Huanxi didn't mean to sell Guan Zi at all, she squinted her eyes and said: "Not to mention the past, even now, even if the Ning family and the Xu family move, the military power of the Qingxiao Army and the Chixiao Army is still in the hands of the old man, plus the Chixiao Army in the hands of the Xiao family, that is a full 200,000 elites, can you really do whatever you want in Ningzhou with the 100,000 Cangyu Guards in the hands of Jin Buyun alone?"

"It's obviously not enough, everyone understands it, and of course the mother understands it. In the end, the 100,000 Cang Yuwei is just a test, to test whether the old man has the same ambition as he did back then, and dare to fight with the imperial court. ”

"But what is the result? Childe has seen it, the old man is old and doesn't want to fight, so why should Childe embarrass her again? The old man has worked hard for Dayan and Ningzhou for most of his life, so let him live a good life in his old age, isn't it?"

Wei Lai hadn't thought of this before, but when he heard these words at this moment, his face suddenly became a little gloomy, and since he came to Ningzhou to contact Daojiang Huanshui, he faintly noticed that the other party's decision on some things was quite strange and even inappropriate. But after all, he didn't bother to ask more questions in his position, and he also thought that according to Jiang Huanshui's ups and downs in the officialdom for so many years, it should be out of long-term considerations. But now Jin Buyun is doing whatever he wants in Ningxiao City, making people panic, but Jiang Huanshui is still indifferent to this, and even allows Cang Yuwei to surround his official residence.

Wei Lai thought about it like this, but said in his mouth: "The two armies are facing each other, no matter whether they win or lose, in the end, it will inevitably make Dayan's lives miserable, and the state pastor just can't bear to see it......"

Before Wei Lai's words were finished, he was interrupted by Ji Huanxi: "Then this is a dead knot, since you can't make up your mind, it's better to make a decision earlier, so as not to implicate more innocents." ”

When Wei Lai heard this, his face changed again, but before he could respond, Ji Huanxi suddenly stopped and said, "It's here." ”

Wei Lai looked up, but saw that he had unconsciously walked to the study of the state pastor's mansion, there was a candle in the door, and a figure was faintly visible on the desk through the paper window.

Seeing this, Wei Lai was about to step forward and push open the door, but the girl who stopped beside him said, "There is another matter, I haven't consulted my son." ”

"Huh?" Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the girl suspiciously.

Ji Huanxi's face was resentful, and he asked: "It's only been a few months since Huanxi was not by the son's side, and the son found a new love, but I don't know which girl is so blessed that she can be favored by the son." ”

Wei Lai heard it inexplicably, he had been in Ningzhou for so long, except for some contact with Ah Cheng, he had never known other women, but he didn't know where Ji Huanxi's remarks began: "Does the girl know too many men, remember that something went wrong, Wei Lai doesn't have any old love, let alone where to find a new love." ”

Ji Huanxi smiled: "There is no new love, then the son is not clean enough." ”

"Don't hide it, the concubine has learned a technique of physiognomy since she was a child, and when she saw each other for the first time, she saw it ...... true."

Speaking of this, Ji Huanxi was deliberately paused, and the smile on his face became teasing: "Childe's pure yang body...... No ......."
