January 4, the residence of Lord Lieson

Three people slowly climbed the stairs from the front of the atrium. Yi Yu, who was frowning at the front, clenched the Yanling clan seal in his hand, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

"Director, what are you worried about?" Gu Key asked in a low voice.

"I'm just afraid that this invitation to soldiers will not be easy for Lu Chi to agree." Yi Yu stared at the more than ten levels, a little stunned.

"Could it be that Lu Chi has already rebelled?" The ancient key looked at Yi Yu's back.

"It's hard to say." Yi Yu took a deep breath.

But at this moment, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned his head to look at the Gu Key and Sikong Xi behind him, "What about Cheng Bi and them?" Why haven't I seen anyone from them since I came back last night? ”

The two of them also reacted suddenly, and they lost their minds for a short time.

"I thought you had always known their whereabouts...... Sikong Xi whispered.

"Nonsense! They're all big kids, so why don't I send someone to spy on them?! Yi Yu slapped Sikong Xi's head lightly and heavily, and his tone was a little angry.

"We've been in Liesun City for a while, and they left the inn almost before you left, Director." Gu Jian said slowly, trying to recall something, "In terms of time, it seems that it is too accurate. At first, I also suspected their intentions, and I tried to ask them why, but Cheng Bi obviously wouldn't tell me. But in the end, it was Beitang Sheng who unexpectedly conveyed to me what they meant, just wanting to spend a few days in Liesun City. ”

"Maybe these reasons are too pale, but they are just some dogs and horses in the martial arts city, I want to come to the governor to come to Liexun this time, but also because of the local customs and precious products." Gu Jian looked at the Yanling clan seal that Yi Yu gradually recovered, and his voice gradually stopped.

"In that case, it's somewhat credible." Yi Yu took a deep look at the two of them, and walked towards the Lie Xun Mansion again, "I will send my eyes and ears to keep an eye on them, no matter what they do, they will be pulled out by me, or ......"

Yi Yu was stunned, and came back to his senses after a short moment. He didn't say the secret words, but he was still on guard. Perhaps Gu Jian and Sikong Xi were worthy of trust, but he didn't dare to make any concessions and disclosures until he had complete information. It would kill him, and even the Governor's plan.

"Director, I don't think you have to worry about that!" At this time, Sikong Xi suddenly stepped forward and waved his arms, his eyebrows fluttering, "Cheng Bi, they are just a rabble!" Rao is that they have great ability, I don't think they can make any waves! ”

"Don't talk too much." Yi Yu glanced at him, "Lu Chi is in Liexun or even the royal city, and he has the power to power the country, if Cheng Bi and they really bring the news that Lu Chi wants, then some of them make sense." ”

"They're just people who have lost their property...... What else could be of any valuable news. Sikong Xi muttered quietly.

"You kid just talk less! Don't keep up yet! Gu Key kicked him, and his steps grew faster.

Sikong Xi hurriedly stopped his mouth, followed behind stupidly, and stepped into the last level of the class.

He glanced down and caught a glimpse of this last rank, forged by the finest jade. But the texture was slightly discolored, and it shone with a faint golden light. In Lu Biao's mansion, he had also seen this jade step that symbolized status, but the texture was white and green, where was it like this? He raised his eyes to look at the two beside him, but Yi Yu didn't seem to find any clues. He stretched out his hand to stop the two, but the voice was stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

It's better to worry less about irrelevant matters, and he can't forget the purpose of coming to Liesun City.

Two little servants dressed in earth-colored linen stood in front of the main hall, looking at their complexions, but there were only four or five out of ten, even a few points smaller than their boss Kongxi.

Yi Yu stepped forward and solemnly handed the Yanling clan seal in his hand to the two people in front of him. But the two little servants only smiled and shook their hands, blocking the family seal handed over.

"Director Yi, when I came here a few days ago, the two of us met with adults, but you noble people forget things, most of them forget us because of important matters," both of them retreated and slowly opened the door of the main hall, "Please also ask Director Yi to move into the hall, the governor is already waiting inside." ”

"Yi Mou thanked the two of you," Yi Yu did not delay, took back the family seal and shook it slightly, tilting his head to signal Sikong Xi and the two behind him to follow.

"The director was here a few days ago?" Sikong Xihu suspiciously asked the ancient key beside him, "Why don't we know." ”

"The director just doesn't want to overwhelm us with too many things." The ancient key muttered and followed.

The furnishings in the main hall are almost the same as those in the vestibule, and they look unusually quaint, as if they have been left over from the previous generation and slightly renovated. Sikong Xi glanced at the slowly closing hall door behind him and turned his head forward. At the same time, he saw the solemn-faced man sitting on the main seat, and the slender sword at his waist.

However, looking closely at his body, I only vaguely feel that he is a Confucian general, not good at martial arts.

"Lu Mou is far away, the three of you, please take a seat," Lord Lie Xun raised his hand and motioned to the maidservant next to him to prepare tea.

Several maidservants quickly caught up, put the tea cup on the table next to the three of them, and slowly poured the jade tea into it.

"This tea is my famous Shangyang leaf tea, and its brown color is as clear as jade. And unlike the taste of other varieties of famous tea, this Shangyang leaf tea is not so much bland, but soft in the mouth, and the bitterness that makes people feel bad will gradually subside until it becomes sweet. Lord Lie Xun looked at the tea cup raised in the hands of the three of them, and it was also raised, "This tea is very good for entertaining distinguished guests." ”

"Thank you, Governor." Yi Yu raised his glass from afar.

Sikong Xi learned the way the two of them toasted, and it was also very funny to clasp the teacup and drink it all.

"I forgot," Lord Lie Xun knocked on the armrest of his seat, a smile on his face, "My name is Lu Chi, and the three of them can still call me Governor Lu Du like that." ”

"The governor is out of sight." Yi Yu raised his eyes to look at him, he had no intention of thinking about this name. It's just that there is an extra letter in his hand, "The villain has a letter from the governor, please take a look." ”

Lu Chi frowned slightly, as if he was resentful of Yi Yu's rudeness. He took the letter, and his already gloomy face grew darker.

For a long time, Lu Chi had been reading the letter for a long time, but he didn't make any moves.

Yi Yu saw that the time was ripe, put down the cup, tasted the Shangyang leaf tea, and slowly got up and walked in front of Lu Chi.

"What is the Director, going to do?" Sikong Xi approached the ancient key.

"Judging from the current form, the director may be discussing the matter of reinforcements with Lord Liexun." The ancient key rubbed the texture of the cup, as if admiring its extremely beautiful workmanship.

"I don't think so!"

"Isn't it like?"

Before Gu Key's words were finished, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw Yi Yuhu half-kneeling on the ground with a solemn face. It has always been a great gift that only kneels down to Lu Biao, but now it is an exception. Even the sound of human snorting can be heard in the eerie main hall that is quiet.

The letter in Lu Chi's hand slipped from his hand and fell to the ground carelessly, he hurriedly bowed down to pick up the letter, but was preempted by Yi Yu, who was closer to the ground.

"Governor, please also decide......" Yi Yu raised his head and handed the letter to Lu Chi with both hands.

Lu Chi's hand hung in the air, and it was not possible to take it, nor was it to take it. But what really drove him into a desperate situation was Yi Yu's extremely respectful gift.

Lu Chi, who has always attached great importance to etiquette and religion, likes to be treated with respect. Now Yi Yu obviously grasped his weakness and used his excellent character to mess with his right to refuse.

But how could he, Lu Chi, agree? Leaving aside the number of reinforcements, the baggage required by the soldiers when fighting with the horses is an extremely difficult number to supply. What they are going to face is the Galloping Headquarters, which is known as the "Iron Hoof of the Land Continent". It was almost an unwinnable engagement.

What's more, his 10,000 troops are the decisive combat power used to subvert the unitary arrow, how can he easily lend this talisman? Moreover, in this kind of extremely large-scale war, Wang Cheng should have made relevant moves a long time ago and sent the Imperial Palace Forbidden Army to reinforce the military service, but he had never heard of any news, let alone the established situation of the army.

It seems that this Lu Biao has already sensed something.

"Director Yi, please get up!" Lu Chi regained his face and stepped forward to help Yi Yu up. But Mu Yiyu couldn't afford it, and stubbornly wanted to get up after listening to his decision.

Lü Chi made a difficulty, and vowing not to borrow troops would attract Lü Chi's suspicions, causing the king of Youya to alienate himself. Now Lu Biao's power is no longer what it used to be, and even the king has to rely on a little bit of his might. If, in this time of internal and external troubles, he commits an act against the state, he will be attacked by the governors of the capital, and it will end miserably.

"I don't know how many soldiers Director Yi wants?" Lu Chi asked in a low voice, deciding to test it first.

"Dudu, this battle is about the survival of our country, if it loses momentum, then there will only be eight top eight left in this continent, just like Luo Yin three years ago!" Yi Yu stood up and solemnly said again, "I still hope that the governor will think about the country." ”

Lu Chi slammed a shudder, and said that he was going to take all his soldiers away? Is this the first thing to clean up before the iron shovel is excluded? The teacup he was holding in his hand suddenly trembled and fell to the ground.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out to the tea cup in the air, and the hot tea spilled on the hand, and the cup was also firmly held by him. But the man didn't have a trace of pain, and put the teacup on the table intact.

"Governor, be careful!" The person from the back hall said slowly.

Sikong Xi saw the face clearly. It was a rather old but unexpectedly handsome face, and there seemed to be something in his inky eyes that made people dare not look at him, and Sikong Xi quickly avoided his gaze. It's just that what surprised him was not these, but the straight waist of the old man, as if his energy was still undiminished.

"Look at his clothes," Gu Jian dispelled Sikong Xi's doubts in a timely manner, "He may be a retainer in this Lu Mansion, he came from the back hall before, and he was hunched, but now he suddenly stood up straight, but he forgot to pay attention to him." ”
