Volume 2 Ember Chapter 72 The Meeting of Opposites
Yi Yu stood in front of the old man, staring at his hand for a long, long time, and finally let go of the hand that was pressing on the hilt.
"I don't know who the old-timers are?"
The old man looked at Yi Yu and saluted back, "It's just an idle wild man, because he has some small skills, he worships under the command of the governor, and he is a half-official." ”
"The old-timers are modest." Yi Yu waved his hand, his gaze re-facing Lu Chi, "I don't know what the governor thinks?" Yi hopes that the governor will value peace, and in the face of this kind of disaster that will affect the country, he will let go of all the mustard and get rid of the traitors. ”
Yi Yu clearly saw that Lu Chi's gaze became hot, like a piece of red-hot coal. His face couldn't help but be happy, and the biggest worry in his heart disappeared.
It's just that he mistakenly thought that Lu Chi's gaze became resolute because of his heartfelt words. But Lu Chi looked straight at the old man, trying to get a little bit of decision-making from the old man's mouth.
Is this an agreement? Lu Chi was slightly stunned, and his eyebrows stopped in front of the wide open door. He felt very strange in his heart about the old man's thoughts. But the old man's gaze at Yi Yu indifferently or intentionally or unintentionally would never be wrong.
"Director Yi, it's been a long time to travel for months, so I, Lu Chi, will no longer embarrass you. Lu Biao and I were originally uncles and nephews of the same clan, and when he was young, I had many relationships with him. Lu Chi's sitting body stood up suddenly, as if he had suddenly decided something. There was an extra sigil in his hand, and a faint blue light was printed on it, "This is my Fan Long seal, which was personally given to me by the king." And this half will be handed over to you first, and when the enemy army attacks Guangcai, my soldiers will rush to the military service with the other half of the seal! Defeat the Gallop! ”
"Xie Dudu!" Yi Yu's face softened, and he quickly walked forward, and finally knelt down. He caught the Fan Long seal with both hands, and the joy in his heart could no longer be hidden.
But Yi Yu, who bowed his head deeply, couldn't see the darkness in Lu Chi's eyes and the faint smile on the old man's face.
He should have been more cautious about Lu Chi's sudden change, but he mistakenly thought that it was a compromise and a show of loyalty to Youyaguo. Xia Jue Qinjun, this should be taken for granted, but Lu Chi has a different kind of thought.
In the main hall, the silence that maintained almost a stick of incense was finally broken by Yi Yu's figure slowly standing up. Sikong Xi and the others, who were sitting in the guest seat, saw Yi Yu's figure gradually eastward, and they both got up, and like Yi Yu, bowed down and saluted again.
"Director Yi, presumably I've watched all the good places of Lie Xun in the past few days, right? Why don't you stay at home tonight? ”
"Is there anything good to eat and have fun!?" Sikong Xi subconsciously shouted suddenly, stunned the people in the hall.
"Stinky boy," Gu Key was shocked, slapped him on the top of the head, and slammed him down, "You want to die!" ”
Lu Chi's face froze, and he laughed awkwardly, "This little general is very interesting. Good wine and good food are available, so don't worry. ”
Sikong Xi knew that his mouth was about to break the taboo, and he didn't dare to answer with his head down.
"This is Yi's subordinate, and this year has only passed the year of tying his hair, and his ignorance of etiquette is also my improper teaching, and I hope to supervise Haihan." Yi Yu lowered his head and asked.
"It's all trivial," Lu Chi's face was a little ugly, "It's just Director Yi, this thing about staying overnight?" ”
"Governor, since the Northern Cavalry Pass was broken, there have been fewer and fewer troops in our country who can stop Guangcai's iron-blooded army. Ben Cavalry is a pack of wolves, and it is only a matter of time before they lick their minions and attack the south. We can only defend ourselves. Besides, there is not much time left for me......" Yi Yu's expression was calm, "I hope that the governor will be fulfilled!" ”
Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, his face turned gloomy, but he finally hid his anger. Counting it up, this is the second time that Yi Yu has folded his face.
"If that's the case, that's a pity." "The war is imminent, and it is better to choose to return to life as soon as possible," he said. ”
"Governor, forgive Yi for his resignation." Yi Yu pulled the two of them, turned around and walked out of the main hall.
Lu Chi looked at the backs of the three of them for a long, long time, hissing and snorting between his teeth. He snatched the cups and teapots from the table with his slashing hands, and swept them to the ground together, shattering them with a clatter, his slightly squinted eyes full of resentment.
"I don't know what to do!"
The old man glanced at Lu Chi, stepped past the broken porcelain on the ground, and walked in front of Lu Chi, "It's rare for the governor to be so angry......
Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had lost his temper.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh." There was faint sweat dripping on his forehead, and he was cold, "What Lu did just now is all ...... Are you still satisfied? ”
"Satisfied, very satisfied!" Ning Ye smiled silently, "It's not against my plan, it's worth a try!" ”
"What do you mean?"
"That young man named Yi Yu is the director of the Yu Division, right?" Ning Ye suddenly asked.
"This ...... Indeed it is. Lu Chi was a little puzzled.
"That's good," Ning Ye stroked the hilt of the knife on the sheath and smiled coldly, "It seems that my subordinates haven't cleaned up Lu Biao's scout remnants." ”
"Are you going to intercept Yi Yu in the middle of the road?" Lu Chi's gaze froze slightly, "But if that's the case, how should Lu Chi explain there, or even the Imperial City?" ”
"Yi Yu found out that my identity is not simple, he must die." Ning Ye stared at him, "But of course I won't kill them all, not to mention that they are not just three people here." ”
"You mean ......"
"No," Ning Ye patted Lu Chi on the shoulder, "There's no need to worry about anything else, you just need to make a plan to deal with it." That kid has already become my wolf Gu's pawn. ”
Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, and finally knew what Ning Ye meant, as well as the three descendants he saw that day. But why Ning Ye only said that one descendant, he didn't know the obscurity between his words.
"That kid...... Seems to be pretty clear about your plans. ”
"You mean Beitang Sheng?" Ning Ye glanced at Lu Chi.
"It's him."
"The people of the Beitang family are just my Ning Ye's dogs, once they lose their value, they only deserve to accept my execution."
"That kid's body...... Something doesn't taste right. Lu Chi said slowly.
"He wouldn't dare, and he wouldn't have that chance." Ning Ye dispersed the few domestic servants standing in front of the door, and his words turned calm, "Yi Yu came to ask for soldiers, it is a necessary move. And when we go to Wushu City, relying on the army in our hands, it is even more powerful! ”
"Moreover, Yi Yu will never contact the eyes and ears that exist in Liesun City in the near future. Those eyes and ears will surely be multiplied by your soldiers. His voice was low but powerful.
"My soldiers?!" Lu Chi was stunned for a moment, and his words couldn't help but be frightened.
"It's only a matter of time before they'll find them." Ning Ye chuckled, "But in Liesun City, Yi Yu misestimated his strength, and that would really bury him." ”
"Does the Governor know the child's name?" Ning Ye asked a puzzling question.
"The kid?"
"It's the rude boy who begged for food and drink." Ning Ye turned around and walked out of the main hall, looking ahead, as if he was hiding something in his heart.
"What is written on the roster is Sikong Xi." Lu Chi frowned, he didn't have a good impression of this rude kid. A boy who knows nothing about humility is like an uncivilized beast.
Ning Ye turned around to look at Lu Chi, as if he understood the displeasure in his heart, "Sikong Xi?" Hehe...... It's inevitable that such a child won't be likable, but when you look at his eyes, they are so bright. ”
"It's like a burning fire, and it makes me feel uneasy."
……
Sikong Xi lowered his head and followed Yi Yu and the others to the vestibule, his hands twisted together, a little cramped and uneasy. Maybe it's because he made a taboo just now and the people on both sides are in an extremely embarrassing situation, so he is so frightened. But then, his gaze glanced forward and found something unusual.
"Director, your hand...... Shaking up? ”
Yi Yu was stunned for a moment, and finally stopped.
"You kid just stop for a while!" Gu Jian slapped Sikong Xi on the top of his head, "The director is already very tired!" ”
"It's not in the way," Yi Yu turned and looked at the two of them, "Do you know what I'm worried about?" ”
"Is it because Cheng Bi's whereabouts are unknown?" Sikong Xi was thoughtful.
Yi Yu shook his head, "I'll figure out a way to do this." But did you see the old man's hand? ”
"Very suspicious, he doesn't seem to be afraid of hot tea." Gu Key replied in a low voice, "There seems to be something on his hand, and it is thick and heavy like a lot of tung oil!" ”
"Not bad!" Yi Yu replied heavily, looking at Gu Key's gaze with appreciation, "It's just that it's not tung oil, but a lot of calluses." ”
He stretched out his right finger and pointed with his left finger to the gap between his thumb and forefinger, "especially here." ”
"What does it mean that there are more calluses on the tiger's mouth?"
The two fell silent, grimacing.
"If there is a thick callus on the tiger's mouth, then it can only be a person who has held a knife for a long time. And there is a big difference between an ordinary saber and a war knife. The blade of the saber was short and thin, and the blade of the war blade was long and broad, which caused a larger cocoon on the old man's hands. Yi Yu's face was gloomy, "He will never be an ordinary person, but a battle-hardened veteran!" ”
"The strength of that moment will never lose to Lu Dudu!"
Sikong Xi's face suddenly turned pale.
"You go back to the inn first," Yi Yu took another step and stepped out of the threshold of the mansion, "I'm going to stay for a while." ”
"That's ......," the ancient key wanted to say and stopped.
"There's no need to ask," Yi Yu leaned over, his voice a little low, "Cheng Bi, you're already an outcast, you'll understand soon." ”
"Maybe I'll go back later tonight," Yi Yu put on a big hat and hid his face in his hood, "I have some things to deal with." ”
