067 Trust me, all right
After taking a few steps closer, so-and-so finally saw the appearance of the person on the seat.
The uncle on the seat has a face with the character of Fangzhengguo, and there is a pair of sharp purple eyes hidden under the typical short black hair of Baiyinguo, which is different from the simple coldness of Huanluo, this uncle's eyes are more dangerous than Huanluo, as if he can easily penetrate people's hearts, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes indicate that he is no longer young, but this sense of aging seems to be only reflected in this trace of wrinkles, and the muscles that cannot be concealed by the uncle's body and the surging and powerful aura of the strong man make some heart palpitations at a certain time.
The uncle, who was being observed in detail by so-and-so, did not speak again, he carefully looked at so-and-so and Lance for a long time with a pair of sharp eyes, as if he wanted to stare out the genealogy of the two people in front of him.
The first person to break the strange atmosphere was Lance, and after a long time, he gently saluted the people seated as if he suddenly remembered that there was such a thing as greeting: "In Lower Lance, I don't know what advice the adults have for calling us over." β
"My name is so-and-so. Suddenly hearing Lance's self-introduction, a certain person was stunned and hurriedly followed, and the subconscious consequence was that the etiquette and everything were gone.
So-and-so lowered his head in embarrassment, completely forgetting that the name of the person in the seat was "Fitz and Victor".
The people in the seat didn't seem to care, he chuckled and looked in the direction of Lance: "You're not Liangyin?"
"Something is wrong with Liangyin, I'm a substitute. Lance smiled back.
This cordial and weird conversation echoed in so-and-so's brain many times, and so-and-so suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Could it be that you are always Li Yi?!"
The uncle put away his smile and nodded in affirmation.
Lance stood calmly to the side, as if he had known this fact for a long time.
So-and-so felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping happily in his brain.
"So, did your old man already know that the two of us were coming, or did you already know that we were not only coming but also coming with a message from Huanluo......?"
"It's all just speculation, if it weren't for my speculation, you would still be able to see such a good candlelight now?" Li Yi had a calm face.
Lance motioned for so-and-so to bring the message of Huanluo to Li Yi, and so-and-so walked forward with a black line on his face and nodded his head and said a few words in Li Yi's ear.
Lance watched in surprise as Li Yi's face changed from calm to stunned and then to a little unnatural blush, and finally left Li Yi with a relieved face, and sat relaxed on the chair next to Li Yi with an expression of "I am my own family". Li Yi coughed awkwardly for a while, looked at so-and-so with some embarrassment, and waved his hand in a chic manner: "Don't worry, I will keep it secret." β
Li Yi regained his composure, he looked at so-and-so and asked, "Is Xiaoluo okay over there?"
"If your reinforcements arrive in time, they should be fine. After thinking about it, so-and-so decided not to lie about the military situation.
"Fighting?" Li Yi frowned, and the aura around him suddenly became solemn.
"We didn't fight when we came from Acacia. Lance added, but he didn't know if Acacia had fought since he left.
Ah Kui and Xiao Luo's letters mentioned several selfless help to Acacia, and Li Yi thanked the two of them in advance. Li Yi suddenly stood up solemnly and bowed to XX and Lance: "Even this kind of internal affairs in the country have to ask the two of them, it is really a dereliction of duty by Li." β
"It's useless to talk about this now," so-and-so stood up and asked Li Yi to sit down: "Lord Marshal should know the purpose of our coming to you, right?"
"I know you want to know more, but unfortunately the old man only knows some of them. Li Yi no longer insisted on bowing, he looked at the candlelight on the table and slowly recalled.
Li Yi is the current patriarch of the Li family, and the prestige of the Li family has not only not been buried in his generation, but has become even more famous. When Li Yi was the most famous, he heard that it had the miraculous effect of curing children's crying.
However, countless bloody historical facts tell us that high merit will always shock the Lord.
Li Yi's prestige, the king of the White Tower Kingdom, naturally knew about it, but he kept it back. One is because: you can't beat it, and the other is because: there is no reason to fight.
Li Yi has been an official for many years, honest and upright, but he also knows how to turn, and the so-called clean officials are more difficult to do than corrupt officials, because they have to constantly deal with the dirty environment, on the one hand, they have to mingle with other officials, and on the other hand, they have to keep their hands and feet clean and not be excluded. But Li Yi is the best among the Qing officials, and people can't catch the handle.
I don't know how many inexplicably resentful fingernails the poor king gnawed off for this. The only person who can match Li Yi's status above the court is the prime minister of Baita State, so maneuvering this triangular power relationship has become the king's biggest headache.
But the recent king behaved very wrong, two months ago, the king who has never been very good to see Li Yi suddenly showed favor to Li Yi, not only smiled more, but also praised him in the court, saying that he was good at governing the army, and even gave Li Yi's daughter Huanluo, who had been stored in the palace, as a symbol of power, and also specially issued a fake "cultural ambassador invitation" for Huanluo.
Li Yi only thought that it was because of the recent large-scale changes in the prime minister that the king's sudden overtures led to the king's sudden overture, and he quietly accepted the benefits, and at the request of the king, a large number of guards were added to the palace to see the palace strictly.
But I didn't expect that something would happen with such caution, and the king, who had always been healthy two weeks ago, suddenly became ill, and the guards sent to the palace suddenly lost contact with Li Yi, as if they had evaporated out of thin air. Li Yi felt that something was strange again, and was about to enter the palace to see the situation but suddenly felt weak, and the servant who wanted to come over to help Li Yi suddenly fell to the ground, and then there was a sound of blades hitting and fighting outside the house, Li Yi smiled bitterly, and he didn't expect that he had failed in this small plan in his life.
After a while, the prime minister's cronies came to clean up the scene, and all the familiar people around Li Yi were pressed away, and there were a group of unfamiliar faces inside and outside the entire marshal's mansion who kept patrolling. Li Yi knew that he had no possibility of escaping, so he could only stay in the marshal's mansion passively.
The prime minister's cronies saw that Li Yi lost his ability to resist and left, and sent a subordinate of his own to watch Li Yi, but it was a coincidence that this subordinate was the cronies and spies that Li Yi planted in the Prime Minister's Mansion when he was young, and after this person was transferred, he not only transferred a trustworthy subordinate to Li Yi (that is, the one who led the way) but also told Li Yi a lot of things that happened outside, such as the king and the palace were controlled by the prime minister, etc., but unfortunately this person has a low status and knows very little, but finally one day he brought a good newsγ
The cultural ambassador from Kerinia was coming to visit the king, but Li Yi knew that Kerinia had not sent any cultural ambassadors at all, and that the order was just a fake document that Bradlica wanted to relieve the siege of Huanluo, and the only explanation was that his wife and daughter had sent people to the imperial city.
