In front of the thousands of residents who bowed their heads solemnly, the master of ceremonies was also muttering something in a low voice. At this time, Jiang Xi had already bypassed the crowd, crossed the Qingyu Pond from the embankment dedicated to the generals, and approached the master of ceremonies.

The master of ceremonies had a thin beard on his jaw, which moved with the subtle wind. The fair-skinned face really looks like a weak civil official.

"Guo Siyi, don't come unharmed." Jiang Xi greeted in a low voice, and the cold-colored iron armor on his body made a sonorous sound.

"How can Director Jiang have time to be idle today and come to find the villain?" Guo Jie glanced at Jiang Xi, who was approaching, and then held the file in his hand and muttered about the contents on it.

"The things sent down from above, but they have to be stepped up." Jiang Xi followed Guo Jie's gaze and saw clearly the many children of the family sitting in the center of the Qingyu Pond.

From time to time, he glanced at the towering buildings behind him, and his voice became even lower. It was the tallest building in Liesun City, the Qingyu Tower. It is also the unique luxury of Liexun's lord Lu Chi.

At this time, Lu Chixing is sitting on the highest four floors and waiting for the end of the Hou Tian Festival, and the most important thing about the Hou Tian Festival is that after the residents worship the sword, they go to the first floor of the Qingyu Building to pay a certain amount of taxes.

This is the main economic source of Liesun City, and it is also the largest extravagant foundation in the rear of Lu Chi. The lord of Liexun City, Lu Chi of the Lu royal family, surrounded by a group of beautiful maids who sang and danced, was extremely obscene and consumed everything that could be used in the city. What's more, it is rumored that he has built a royal palace in the eastern suburbs of Liesun that is more luxurious than the royal castle of Youya.

"What? He hasn't used us for nearly five years, and if you don't say it, I'll even think I'm the little emcee of this Liesun. Guo Jie pursed his lips.

"It's useless to talk about it, you haven't led troops to fight for five years, I see that the fat on your body is getting more and more year by year! You kid just steal the fun! Jiang Xi mocked in a low voice, "Still coaxing here, look at your useless appearance." ”

"You! Jiang Xi, let me tell you, don't give me this set! Lao Tzu hasn't led a soldier for five years, so he still fights you bastard! Guo Jie glared at Jiang Xi.

"I'm not here to talk to you, so let's talk less, we don't have much time." Jiang Xi suddenly turned pale, "When sending your subordinates in and out of Qingyu Building to report the amount of taxes, pay attention to the people around Lu Chi." Remember, never expose or everything will go down the drain. ”

"Why?" Guo Jie frowned and slowly closed the file.

He handed the file to his subordinates and motioned for him to preside over the visit. He followed Jiang Xi across the embankment again and walked to the periphery.

"Yi Yu has come to Liesun City."

"What?! Yi Yu: He's coming? Guo Jie was stunned for a moment, his expression became complicated, "Then why didn't he come to me?" ”

"You are the real Lu Chi's personal guard, if you rashly pass on the news to you, it will only be more troublesome!" Jiang Xi said impatiently.

"Are you mocking me? Think I'm talkative? Guo Jie was a little angry.

"Don't give Lao Tzu nonsense!" Jiang Xi stomped his feet, "Let's talk about business first!" ”

Guo Jie was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look serious, "What is the Governor's edict that Yi Yu brought?" ”

"There is no handwriting, you just need to understand that there is a group of hideous wolves around Lu Chi! They will plot against Lu Chi, flank the entire Wushu City back and forth, and cut off the meridians of the hands and feet of the Youya Kingdom! ”

Guo Jie was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, "Tomorrow, I will go to your department to find you." ”

"Hopefully you'll find some clues." Jiang Xi didn't delay any longer, and turned around and left.

Guo Jie looked at Jiang Xi's back as he left for a long time, thinking thoughtfully.

……

Going down the flow of the Qingyu Pond, Sikong Xi finally saw the man sitting by the pool at the end of the western suburbs. The man was dressed in a black linen robe, and a simple and gorgeous long sword was placed on the ground by him, and he held it tightly in the palm of his hand. Maybe the man was very vigilant, and he had already heard Sikong Xi's quiet footsteps from a distance. He turned his head sharply and made eye contact with Sikong Xi.

"Boy, come here." Yi Yu beckoned Sikong Xi, who was getting closer and closer, to his side.

"Division...... Director? Sikong Xi looked at the slightly tired face, a little incredulous, "What are you doing, how can this be?" ”

"It's just a little thing, look there!" Yi Yu waved his hand and pointed his long sword at the center of the pool. There was an irrepressible joy on his face.

Sikong Xi followed the long sword and looked over, and saw clearly that there were many small boats in the pond that were slowly pushed to the west by the current. However, he found that some of the boats were not like others, and they floated very easily. The boats are often larger, and the material seems to be superior to the average boat. But they were hit by the current, and they floated and sank, as if they would sink to the bottom of the pool at any moment.

"Director, those boats seem to be sinking!" Sikong Xi suddenly shouted.

"Shhhh Hush! Yi Yu hurriedly covered Sikong Xi's mouth, "Boy, what are you calling blindly!" If someone else finds out, we will suffer from it! When the time comes, if your identity is exposed, you will have to be finished! ”

"But...... The boats were sinking. Sikong Xi hesitated, pointing to those huge boats, a little anxious.

He had come to this place to make a fortune, but now his imagination seemed to be getting farther and farther away from reality.

"What's the hurry, let's see." Yi Yu shook off Sikong Xi, grabbed the scabbard and slowly moved to the critical point of the pool.

At this time, Sikong Xi saw that Yi Yu was holding an extremely long net pocket in his other hand, probably because it was covered by grass on the ground, so he didn't see it clearly.

Yi Yu fixed his body with a long sword, and with his other hand, he lifted the net pocket and stretched out into the pool, scooping up dozens of small boats in one bag.

"Let's open it and take a look." Yi Yu threw the wet boat on the ground and asked Sikong Xi to disassemble it.

Sikong Xi pinched a large boat and unfolded it. But in the end, only a cheap copper baht was pulled out of it.

"Director, this ......"

"Maybe those children of the family knew that the boat they sank would be taken away by splashing skin, so they didn't put some valuable things in it. However, it is more likely that Lu Chi has become more harsh on the taxes of various families, resulting in the children of the family not having much rich gold baht to squander. ”

Yi Yu cleaned up the clutter on the net pocket and set it aside, as if he was tired. Yi Yu, who was still very excited before, only became depressed after such a short while.

"Director, you don't seem to be happy." Sikong Xi didn't open those boats again, and his eyebrows caught a glimpse of Yi Yu's sad face.

"It's nothing, it's just a little thing." Yi Yu suddenly came to his senses again, and looked at Sikong Xi with a radiant look, "After we complete the task assigned to us by the governor, we will hurry up and go back to Wushu City as soon as possible." I, and you and that kid from Gu Key, let's go to the best restaurant in the city and have a good drink! ”

"Really!" Sikong Xi was stunned for a moment, but he also became happy.

"Of course," Yi Yu suddenly stopped, and he looked behind Sikong Xi, as if he was looking for someone.

"Director, what's wrong?" Sikong Xi looked at Yi Yu a little strangely.

"Why didn't the ancient key follow?"

Sikong Xi was stunned suddenly, wanting to tell the truth but was afraid that Gu Key would complain about him later. He snorted lowly, not daring to speak.

"Senior brother, he ......"

"Alright, needless to say, it seems that you know the truth." Yi Yu turned around and carefully wiped the scabbard of the long sword with his hand, his eyebrows and eyes shining with a dim light.

"What......?" Sikong Xi was stunned, "Director, do you know everything?" ”

"The Ancient Key has always had my eyes and ears by his side." Yi Yu whispered, "Otherwise, if you stab Lou Zi, how will it end?" ”

Sikong Xi was terrified, but he still couldn't help asking, "That'...... Director, what do you think Senior Brother will do? ”

"That girl deserves the vast majority of what the Ancient Key has for her." Yi Yu looked into the distance, and the afternoon sunlight had slanted a lot to the west, and it had become less scorching. But at this time, it was still so cold, like a cold that pierced the heart.

"But Senior Brother doesn't seem to think so."

"You should know a lot more, maybe you don't have a girl you like, but you have to put yourself in other people's shoes." Yi Yu placed the long sword in the sword on his waist and walked towards the inn in the northern suburbs.

Sikong Xi followed behind him, and he finally failed to figure out what Yi Yu said about putting himself in his shoes. But in memory, a small figure can always flash.

That was when he first intersected with Lu Fu, and a girl surnamed Qin entered his life called Hanako. However, he had lived in the city for several years, but he had never heard of or seen such a girl. So where exactly did she come from?

For a while, he would often think of the girl with eyes as blue as the sea, the girl who was open-minded but always cautious.

"I ...... I can't think of it. I do not know. Sikong Xi muttered to himself in a low voice.

Yi Yu didn't hear what Sikong Xi said, he just walked back slowly, and as his steps got faster, there were more people.

"It seems...... The ceremony of contemplation has ended. Well, it's time for the first step of the plan to begin......" He suddenly stopped.

"What did you say, Director?" Sikong Xi looked up at Yi Yu.

"It's nothing, there are some things, just don't talk about it."

"But...... Senior brother him. ”

"As I said, that girl is enough to make Gu Key give up most of the things, but unfortunately not all." Yi Yu took a deep breath.

"Not all?" Sikong Xi tightened his grip on the scabbard.

"Gu Jian is an extremely calm person, but his calmness is in the service of the Governor's loyalty." Yi Yu's pace quickened, "The life of the governor is his life." He was just living for the Governor, practicing his ridiculous loyalty. ”

"Ridiculous Foolish ......"

Sikong Xi muttered this sentence repeatedly, and finally followed closely.
