【iQue in the Ancient Kingdom】 Act 38 [Snake] (II)

The snow is very heavy, and there are few pedestrians on the road.

The carriage was very conspicuous when it was parked on the side of the road.

From time to time, some people in the shops along the street cast curious glances, which made Lu You, who was sitting in the carriage at the moment, a little uncomfortable. He wanted Xiao Li to get into the carriage first and then talk, but this would probably make some people who were staring at him more suspicious.

"Have you chosen? Xiao Li slowly reminded, "On this street, there are many pairs of eyes looking at you now. ”

"These eyes have been following the old man all the way. Lu You reminded Xiao Li, "Now it's not just me, even you will be targeted." ”

"Xiao Li is just a Li ordinary man who does a small business, and there is no point in staring at Xiao Li. Under the mask, Xiao Li chuckled, "But Lord Deer is different, Lord Lu is now an important minister of the country." ”

"Mr. Li, is this mocking Lu? Lu You was a little unhappy, "Mr. is a secret envoy of the Xia Kingdom, don't be arrogant." ”

Xiao Li didn't understand what Lord Lu said. Xiao Li smiled and said, "Xiao Li is now the secret envoy of the Mo Kingdom, is Lord Lu mistaken?" ”

"Mr. Li's identity is really too much, Lu is old, and he really can't remember these clearly. Lu You said sarcastically, "If Lu is arrested one day, I hope that I will forget everything about Mr. Li by then." ”

"Don't worry, Lord Lu, if you are caught, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, Xiao Li will definitely go to visit him in person!" Xiao Li flattered, "So, has Lord Lu chosen which mask to use now?" ”

Lu You sighed indignantly: "Just choose this." ”

Xiao Li looked at Lu You's withered hand. This deer-sama is picking a war bear mask. It was the totem of the Lei clan of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country. In other words, Xiao Li had to provide Lord Lu with information about the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country at this time.

Xiao Li's eyes rolled, trying to recall from his mind that there was information about the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country, and just as he was about to speak, Lord Lu suddenly interrupted: "I want to hear some useful news. ”

Xiao Li wondered: "What is useful news?"

Lu You: "It's news I don't know." ”

Xiao Li was puzzled: "What does Lord Lu know now, is there any news about Xiji Thousand Thunder Country?"

Lu You: "The 100,000 army of Xiji is digging through the mountains every day and night, trying to dig through the Juelong Mountain Range, Lei Che, the lord of the Thousand Thunder Country, is personally driving, and among the 100,000 troops, 70,000 are war bear riders, equipped with lava slashing knives. ”

Xiao Li pondered: "Lord Lu's news is really well-informed, he actually knows so much, this kind of news is generally only known by the Frost Sword, could it be that the Lord buried an informant in the Frost Sword?"

Lu You: "Mr. Li only needs to tell me what else is in this news about the Thousand Thunder Country that the old man doesn't know." ”

Xiao Li: "Lord Lu is worried about the arrival of the Thousand Thunder National Soldiers in the city?"

Lu You: "The old man is worried that the Thousand Thunder Kingdom will be tricky, and he doesn't plan to take this lonely city in the north of Ji. ”

Xiao Li: "Lord Lu really dares to say anything." ”

Lu You: "Then Mr. Li won't sell it." ”

Xiao Li thought for a while and said, "The 100,000 troops of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom are just the vanguard troops, and there is also the Tianwu Kingdom as reinforcements behind them. Their main target this time is not the Dream Country, but the three cities of Liuyun, Dianxing, and Yaoguang, which have now become the territory of the Mexican Kingdom,"

Lu You was surprised: "Bypass Mingyue City?"

Xiao Li tilted his head and looked at Lu You: "This is the second question." ”

Lu You hesitated for a moment, then took out another gold ingot from his sleeve, Xiao Li happily accepted it, but he didn't mean to continue to give him an answer: "I'll get here here today for the time being." ”

Lu You was puzzled: "Mr. Li, what do you mean by this?"

Xiao Li: "Xiao Li means that Lord Lu should go." ”

Between the words, Lu Ming carried the raw frying, rode a horse, stroked the hilt of the sword, and looked at Xiao Li who was talking to Lu You at this time very hostilely, this strong murderous aura made Xiao Li feel it from afar. In this regard, Xiao Li smiled and finally said to Lu You: "As for the second question, Xiao Li will meet with Lord Lu again soon, and he will tell him then." ”

Lu You said unhappily: "It's an extraordinary period now, I'm afraid that after meeting this time, I don't know what year and month it will be next time, and this important fighter can't wait." ”

Xiao Li smiled and avoided Lu You's anger: "I will see you again if I have a fate, so I will be here first today." At this moment, the snow is falling, it is an eventful winter, there are not many pedestrians on the road, there are many ears and eyes nearby, the frost sword is ruthless, be careful all the way. ”

Lu You grabbed Xiao Li, who was about to leave: "Now they have all seen you talking to me, and the businessman who does a small business can't tell now." ”

Xiao Li smiled: "Unless Xiao Li deliberately let them catch it, otherwise, they have to keep up with Xiao Li's footsteps first." By the way, where are you going?"

Lu You: "Go north and go home." ”

Xiao Li: "Then I'll go south." ”

Lu You: "Mr. Li take care." ”

Xiao Li: "Lord Lu cherishes. ”

Some vendors along the street and diners seated in the shops will cast curious glances here from time to time, which invisibly increases the pressure on Lu You. Although, he knew that he had been targeted by the Frost Sword and the people of the Oracles Division for a long time.

As Lu Ming returned to the carriage, Xiao Li disappeared into the snow very interestingly, looking at Xiao Li's distant figure, Lu Ming asked his father in confusion: "Who is that person?" ”

Lu You was silent for a moment, and then lowered the curtain: "A vendor who does a small business." ”

Lu Ming was a little surprised when he heard this, but Lu You handed him the war bear mask he had just bought from Xiao Li from the car window: "I bought it for you." ”

Lu Ming said, "Thank you, father." ”

Then he took the mask and put it on to hide his doubts. He didn't find anything special about the mask, and he didn't understand why his father had suddenly bought him a mask. Only Lu You himself knows that the situation in the entire Dongji will soon become more confusing, and he has to act as soon as possible, and he can't wait any longer.

When Xiao Li said goodbye to Lu You, in the wind and snow, some passers-by happened to follow Xiao Li at this time, while others continued to follow Lu You's carriage slowly in this wind and snow.

Xiao Li continued to swagger around the streets of Baihu with a wooden frame full of masks, and soon the children who had just been dispersed by the coachman surrounded Xiao Li again.

This time, Xiao Li took off the mask on the wooden frame, and then squatted down to personally bring the children one by one. The children were very happy and happy about this, even though they did not understand what Xiao Li's intentions were. A child is a child after all, and does not retain too much caution about the kindness of strangers.

The people who followed Xiao Li were very surprised to see this scene. When Xiao Li scattered all the masks, he wore a tiger striped mask and continued to walk in the vast wind and snow in the earth-gray robe.

After Xiao Li left, these masked children surrounded the pedestrians who were following Xiao Li, and no matter how they drove them, they would not disperse.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it will soon obscure all traces.

Whether it's the traces of cars and horses, or the footprints of people.

......

Of course, "Little Tiger Raw Pan-fried" has to be eaten while it is hot.

It's true that Lord Lu Yo Lu hasn't eaten this delicious food for a long time. He was too busy, busy with intrigues, busy with deceit, busy with layout. As an old minister in the Yunchen period of the old country lord, if there is no big fault, no one can touch him.

However, that doesn't mean that others won't gossip about him behind his back. Lu You didn't care about this before, but with Yun Fan's return, he couldn't care about it, and he couldn't help but plan for his future.

There were some things that did not see the light of day, and he did it.

He was very worried that one day after Yun Fan succeeded to the throne of the country, these shady things would be liquidated, and every time he thought of this, Lu You would have trouble sleeping and eating. In this era when political privileges were monopolized by the big families, there were not many places for people from poor backgrounds like him.

Although his son Lu Ming is often full of disdain for "untouchables", Lu You has never told his children that in fact, their Lu family is not a cruel family.

Maybe I don't want to look back on the past, or maybe I want to completely forget the shadow of the past. Today's Lu You is the old minister of the Su Kingdom, although he has not been relied on by Yun Ji and won over by the family, but with his own means and scheming, Lu You, who was born from a humble background, gradually gained a place in Mingyue City and even the entire Shu Country through continuous "trading".

Nothing else is said for the time being, just the doormen he raised in the mansion have nearly 100 people now. No one knows what Luyou wants to do, not even the well-informed Xiao Li. However, what is certain is that what this Lord Deer wants to do is definitely not something that is beneficial to the country.

Lu You cautiously ate the fried bun that Lu Ming bought for him. Between his lips and teeth, the delicious taste seems to bring Lu You back to the time, when he even had to save a long time to eat raw fried buns, for him at that time, such a delicacy was too luxurious. And now, he is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he does not have much time to taste this taste that once made him extremely luxurious.

In the past, when he had no money and no power, Lu You was very bold. Now that I have money and power, I have little courage. Thinking of this, Lu You ate more carefully with each bite. It's like eating it once, and you won't have the chance to taste this very meaningful taste again.

Outside the carriage, Lu Ming, who rode a horse and the carriage side by side, would not have known that the father in the carriage, whom he admired so much, was also a "pariah" he disdained back then.

It was a past that Lu You would not mention.

It is also a past that Lu You does not want to experience anymore.

Lian Mu and Meng Jian walked quickly.

Lian Mu has been spending Meng Jian's money for the past two days.

Lian Mu himself didn't feel embarrassed.

So he had to go back to Guangqi Courtyard to get some money and take it with him, and by the way, he got Meng Jian a set of frost sword light armor, so that they could be reimbursed for eating, drinking, and having fun with public funds.

Thinking of this, Lian Mu quickened his pace, and Meng Jian was a little struggling to follow behind. After all, Lian Mu was a tenth-order martial artist, and Meng Jian hadn't even reached the ninth-order yet. In terms of physical strength, Lian Mu will be more abundant. Even on such a cold day, he could go into battle shirtless without the slightest feeling of cold, but Meng Jian was different, he felt that he had been frozen stupid.

There is no winter in Autumn Leaf City in the country of wild geese, and Meng Jian has never seen winter since he was a child. In fact, today was the first time Meng Jian had seen snow, and it was also the first time in his life that he had experienced what winter was. What is winter? Everything is withering, the cold is bitterly cold, the sky is full of snow, the sky and the earth are melted into one color, people will go out to wear very thick clothes, the hooves of horses will be wrapped in warm cotton, every house will light a warm lamp, the lake will freeze, people will talk with visible heat, when the snow is piled up, children will go out to build snowmen, snowball fights.

The winter of Jibei is very beautiful, just like the autumn of the wild goose country in Jinan, to stay in the spring of the next year and see the spring of the country, and naturally go to the summer country in summer.

The beauty of Dongji is the dream of Xiji.

So the war is not stopped, and the past is endless.

At this time, Lian Mu didn't have the slightest pressure in his heart, even though he already knew that the army of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom would most likely be coming over in the near future. But then again, there is no point in him worrying, because the current frost sword, the main person in charge is nominally Lian Mu, but in fact Pu Jia.

What Lian Mu can do is actually just approve the official document, and there is not much else he can do. That's why he has a lot of time to take Meng Jian out to visit here and there.

The snow was still falling.

Meng Jian: "Where are we going now?" ”

Lian Mu: "Go back to the Guang Courtyard and get you a light armor." ”

Meng Jian: "On such a cold day, wear light armor?"

Lian Mu: "You don't know this, the frost sword light armor can keep warm, do you see those who wear the frost sword light armor, how many of them feel cold?"

Meng Jian: "I didn't wear it, I don't know." ”

Lian Mu: "It's okay, you can have a good experience later, from now on you will be a member of our Frost Sword." ”

Meng Jian: "Can I think about it again?"

Lian Mu: "It's too late!"

Meng Jian: "......"

Lian Mu: "You must know that in the entire Bright Moon City now, except for those Chiyan warriors, we are the most concerned. ”

Meng Jian: "Then what does that mean?"

Lian Mu: "What does it mean? It means that our position in the country is becoming more and more important!"

Meng Jian looked at Lian Mu with some suspicion, Lian Mu stretched out his hand and pulled him over at this time, and whispered in his ear: "The White Tiger Street we walked through just now, remember?"

Meng Jian: "Remember, what?"

Lian Mu: "All the people on that street are ours?"

Meng Jian was surprised: "Xiaohu is also fried?"

Lian Mu: "I'm talking about those passers-by, if the logistics cook of the frost sword has the skills of Xiaohu Sheng's fried spoon, what am I going to do outside every day?"

Meng Jian: "Those passers-by are all frost sword people?"

Lian Mu: "That's good. ”

Meng Jian: "At this time period, they also came out to eat?"

Lian Mu: "Of course not!"

Meng Jian was puzzled: "Could it be that you are going out shopping?"

Lian Mu looked solemn: "Of course I came out to arrest people." ”

Meng Jian: "Arrest whom?"

Lian Mu: "You'll know when you go back to the Guangyuan Courtyard, I think you should close the net now." ”

Meng Jian: "So you didn't take me out to eat, but to come over to see if they were acting, right?"

Lian Mu: "You are really smart, I really didn't misunderstand you! The future is terrifying! Very good, the frost sword has you, and the future is promising!"

Meng Jian: "......"

As one of the four most prosperous streets in the entire Bright Moon City, Baihu Street is not something that can come to an end in a while. The snow can easily hide all traces, but the strife of this world will not stop there.

There are few people in this world who can keep up with Xiao Li's footsteps. If you really want to talk about the level of light skills, with Xiao Li's skills, it is definitely the top three level today.

However, there is no point in the light catching up with him, if you want to take him down, you have to beat him first. No one has ever seen Xiao Li make a move. This man with a public face and often walks around in an earthy gray robe, who is usually amiable, how can he do it with people at every turn?

After completely handing over the defense of the city to the Chiyan Samurai, the Frost Sword at this time had enough manpower and energy to deal with what would happen next.

Xiao Li thought that if he got rid of the few Frost Sword spies who were following him, there would be nothing to do, but when he was about to reach the intersection, he realized that the passers-by on the entire White Tiger Street were all Frost Sword people.

Xiao Li was careless after all.

The seemingly honest old man and a young man braved the wind and snow to meet Xiao Li. Xiao Li to the left, they to the left, Xiao Li to the right, they to the right. The two strangers in front of him stared at Xiao Li without the slightest shift.

So Xiao Li turned around and planned to return the same way, but the few people who had just been thrown off behind him followed at this time and completely blocked his retreat.

How to tell which people are real passers-by and which are problematic passers-by? This is actually very simple for Xiao Li. You just need to see who is half-hearted when doing things, and your eyes look to your side from time to time.

When they were standing far away, Xiao Li found them. Originally, Xiao Li wanted to avoid them, but now it seems that he can't dodge them.

The seemingly honest old man took out a token from his arms, indicating his identity, which was a black and cyan steel plaque, with a hexagonal frost flower carved on it, and a sword directly penetrated the center of this frost flower, constituting the pattern on this black and cyan steel plaque.

Xiao Li knew this pattern, which was the symbol of the Frost Sword.

"Come with us. The young man next to the old man said to Xiao Li, and before Xiao Li agreed, the seemingly honest old man had locked several important acupuncture points on Xiao Li's body, and then his mask was forcibly removed.

Xiao Li smiled: "Now, has our Frost Sword of the Forbidden Army in Bright Moon City become so rude?"

The young man said lightly: "Extraordinary times, very treated, I hope to forgive me!"

Xiao Li: "Two officials, I'm just an ordinary ordinary person, did you catch the wrong person?"

The two frost swords did not answer Xiao Li's plea, but silently knocked Xiao Li unconscious, and soon the surrounding frost swords saw that they had succeeded, and they all surrounded them. Some people who don't know the truth only dare to watch the excitement from a distance. Under the eaves, several sneaky night crows watched the scene without making a sound. When Xiao Li woke up, he believed that he was already in the Guangqi Courtyard.
