Thanks to the Qinhuai River, which runs almost through the city, the angel boats from the waterway can go directly to the Yujie Wharf in the south of the city, so the officials in the city also save the hard work of going out of the suburbs to greet them. In the receiving pavilion on the side of the wharf, Liu Yu, who had changed into a full set of official uniforms, and Hu Sanxing, Ye Yingji, who were also neatly dressed, accompanied Wang Lin who was dressed in filial piety, while Jin Ming stood on the other side with the pheasant slave who had changed into women's clothes.

This is the first time Liu Yu has seen her wearing women's clothes in such a long time, perhaps because of long-term exercise, although she has not fully grown, her tall figure has exceeded Jin Ming's shoulders. Today she was wearing a well-fitting plain jacket and skirt, with a simple bun on her head, and the two occasionally glanced at each other, with a faint smile on her calm face, only a hint of sadness in her big bright eyes.

There was a sound of horses' hooves from the direction of the city, Liu Yu and the others turned their heads to look, several horsemen were galloping towards this side, the first person was dressed as a civil official, but the soldiers behind were Huai soldiers' clothes, and the flag on the back was written with the words "Two Huai Division", this is the person sent by Li Tingzhi, Liu Yu walked a few steps and greeted him.

"This is Liu Taishou, the lower official was ordered by Li Shuai to come to greet the old lady and the angel, Li Shuai was delayed by military affairs, lest he be in time, so he ordered me to wait first, he will come to the department later." The person who came grabbed the horse jumped down lightly, bowed his hand to Liu Yu from a distance, and explained the matter in a few words.

"It's been hard all the way, I don't know my name, and I want to see it." Liu Yu took two steps and stepped forward to greet him, this person has an extraordinary appearance, and the one who can be sent by Li Tingzhi as a representative must be one of his cronies, since he is wearing an official uniform, most of them are the assistant of the handsome department, and the identity of Liu Yu is actually the same.

"Don't dare to be too guarded, the contemptible Lu Xiufu, the small character Junshi, is Li Shuai's subordinate to the council." The person who came leaned forward slightly, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, but after a while, he did not get a response. He couldn't help but be a little surprised, and when he raised his head, he saw that the Liu Taishou in front of him was staring at him silently, as if there was something wrong with him.

Lu Xiufu! The last prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, when the Yashan war was most intense, he was still teaching the five-year-old little emperor "University", and when he was finally defeated, he was one of the "three masters" who died in the sea with the young emperor and his family, Liu Yu remembered that he had read his biography, this person was the Chuzhou clan to which Huaidong belonged, and at this time he was indeed appointed as a senator under Li Tingzhi's account.

"Senator Lu, look up for a long time." Liu Yu came back to his senses and solemnly gave him a salute, Lu Xiufu didn't expect him to be so polite suddenly, and he was a little caught off guard for a while, until Liu Yu let him go to the pavilion to meet everyone, and he was still thinking about what was going on, he didn't know this Taishou at all.

Seeing Lu Xiufu greet everyone with a calm demeanor, and occasionally cast a puzzled look, Liu Yu just smiled slightly, don't look at this person is just a curtain from the seventh grade now, but if history does not change, he will be recommended by Li Tingzhi to enter the dynasty immediately, and then the speed of promotion will be like a rocket, and after just two years, he will become the prime minister of Zuo, walk to the peak of Wenchen, and go down in history.

Of course, this is not the reason why Liu Yu respects him, even if he is a very popular minister, it is just a small court wandering on the sea, and the decrees cannot be put on land. What really makes him respect is the integrity of swearing to the death, he is not as famous as Wen Tianxiang, but what he does is more difficult than Wen Tianxiang.

After a period of cold noise, Lu Xiufu also introduced the situation on Li Tingzhi's side, this time he came from Hezhou on the other side of the river, since the recovery of these two places, in order to avoid the Xia Gui incident in Huaixi, Li Tingzhi moved the marshal's mansion there, and personally commanded the attack on the state capitals along the river, and not long before, the army that went to Anqing Mansion came to report, and Huaixi also sent soldiers and horses, trying to take the capital city in front of them.

"Oh, Xia Gui moved?" Hearing this news, Liu Yu's heart tightened, this news is not good or bad at present, of course, Xia Gui's transfer of soldiers and horses from Luzhou may be beneficial to future actions. But most of these are his cronies, once he learns that something happened to Xia Gui, what kind of reaction will he have, it is also unpredictable, thinking of this, he secretly said hello to Yang Xingqian who was standing outside through everyone, Yang Xingqian understood, and immediately set off and walked outside.

Without waiting for Yang Xingqian's figure to go away, there was a sudden noise in the direction of the dock, everyone walked out of the official pavilion, and looked from a distance, several sails on the river surface, as the sail shadow grew, the fleet was getting closer and closer, everyone knew that this was the angel's boat, and they hurriedly dressed up and stood in two rows.

Wang Lin was supported by Jin Ming and the pheasant slave left and right, stood in front of everyone, watched the big boat in front of him slowly approach the dock, and when the hull of the ship stopped, a few domestic servants came out of the cabin, and the warehouse door was closed, and then the two healthy women helped an old woman out, who was holding a hollow carved hardwood cane, wearing a collar of vermilion life woman suit, it was Wang Lixin's old wife.

Seeing the figure of the old lady, Wang Lin and the three of them hurried to the front of the boat, and the pheasant slave took the old lady down steadily, just stood on the shore, Wang Lin knocked to the ground with a big gift, the old lady who had not seen her son for a long time pulled him up with tears, patted him on the body like a child, pointed to the back, Wang Lin looked at it with tears, and his wife looked at him with a pair of children with tears in her eyes.

"Big Lady!" Little Lori blinked with tears, and the person had already thrown herself into the old lady's arms.

"Good boy." The old lady hugged her, she grew up in front of her since she was a child, and she was no different from her granddaughter, and because she pitied her life experience, she felt a little more pity, and saw her crying so much that she had to keep touching her head and gently comforting her.

On the other side of the dock, several boats behind also stopped, and the two purple-robed high-ranking officials got off the boats respectively, and after some humility, they walked towards this side together. Behind the two of them was a scarlet-robed official, who was the Privy Council who was promoted by Chen Yizhong.

"Xiaguan Liu Yu, I've seen the old lady." Wait until they have stopped talking a little, Liu Yu led the way and walked up, bowed, he lived in Lin'an's Wang Mansion for a few days that day, and the old lady also knew each other, the old lady looked at him with a sharp gaze, and then he said "um", which made Liu Yu feel empty.

Introduced the people behind him to the old lady one by one, Wang Lin and the others got into the car with the old lady and went to the department first, watching them go away, Liu Yu turned around to greet the court envoy behind, he walked in front of the two purple-robed officials in front of him, and was swept away for a moment by one of them with a somewhat arrogant gaze.

"Are you from Lin'an?" Liu Yu didn't salute either, so he asked directly. The words were quite polite, the three of them looked at him, they were all a little surprised, the honor guard flags and other things on the side clearly indicated the identity of his group, why did he ask this?

"Exactly, this is the new envoy of the imperial court, Huang Shilang of the Ministry of War, and he is a deputy envoy of both a certain and this one." The person next to him pointed to the one and said, but he didn't say what his name was, but his attitude was much better, Liu Yu arched his hand when he heard this, and he still had a straight face.

"A few forgiveness, according to the rules, the court envoy out of Beijing, the local has the righteousness of reception, and also has the right to check, since you call yourself angels, you should know the court system, please cooperate with this official." Liu Yu put down his hand, looked at the Huang Shilang without flinching, and said in a flat tone.

"What? Who are you? Huang Yong couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, the person in front of him was just a scarlet robe, and he dared to openly doubt his identity so blatantly, although he was talking about the system, but with his own line of honor and the forbidden army that followed, no one knew that it could not be fake, this person was clearly intentional.

"This official has the right to know Liu Yu of Jiankang Mansion." In fact, when he saw the old lady just now, Liu Yu had already registered, and he also knew that this person probably answered him deliberately or calmly. Immediately after that, I don't know who touched him, Liu Yu estimated that it was either Hu Sansheng or Ye Yingji, he was the chief official of this group, and Huang Yong was the head of the envoy.

"According to so-and-so, this place is not a place to speak, so it is better for everyone to go there and discuss something." Just now, the official who was also wearing a purple robe pointed to the receiving official pavilion not far away and said, as soon as this word came out, it was immediately approved by most people, the weather was hot, and it was indeed not a good choice to stand here basking in the sun, Huang Yong knew that he wanted to give a step, but he just 'hummed', Liu Yu moved his body and made way out of the way.

A group of people walked towards the pavilion, Liu Yu was pulled by Hu Sansheng and fell behind, there were too many people and it was not easy to speak, Hu Sansheng just glared at him, Liu Yu replied to him with a reassuring look, which made him go forward first in disbelief, Liu Yu was about to catch up, he might as well be pulled again, he turned his head to look, but it was Lu Xiufu.

"Taishou, just take advantage of it, it's better not to offend these people too much." Lu Xiufu whispered in his ear, Liu Yu was a little surprised, and saw him blink, knowing that his mind had been guessed by him, he simply stopped.

"If you see Li Shuai in the Senate, please tell him that you have something important to discuss with him, so you can make an appointment in the Yanju Building in the south of the city, and if the Senate has nothing to do, please come with you." Liu Yu pointed to a two-story building by the Qinhuai River, Lu Xiufu didn't speak, but nodded after a glance.

As for this little episode, both sides made concessions under the mediation of several people, and the purple-robed official who had spoken out several times took out his official seal letter and handed it to Liu Yu, Liu Yu just glanced at it and returned it to him, it turned out that this person was also a waiter, but he was a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and his name was Chen Jingxing.
