Volume 2 Ember Chapter 77 Meet Again
At night, the lights on Yuru Street are not extinguished, and the night is endless.
The night in Liesun City is always extremely prosperous, but under the prosperity, there is always something that is missing.
Yi Yu and Gu Key walked out of a deep alley and walked towards the downstream of the Qingyu Pond in the western suburbs. There are also some street shops, but compared to the prosperity of Yuru Street, it is a little lonely.
"This time, we are going to meet the people in Liesun City, and we must always observe the movements around us." Yi Yu walked ahead, his eyebrows glancing at both sides of the street from time to time.
"Is it the Governor's man?" Gu Key asked in a low voice.
"Almost meaningless. Some of them are my subordinates, and some of them are my comrades. Yi Yu said, "But there is no doubt that they all do things for the governor." A few years ago, the Governor sent them to integrate into Liesun City, also to monitor LΓΌ Chi and prevent him from having any ill intentions. And now is the time. β
"When you first arrived in Liexun before, the director left in a hurry, did you go to them to discuss the matter as soon as possible?"
"We agreed to exchange messages again tonight, and we are ready to carry out the next step." Yi Yu didn't answer the ancient key directly, but said the purpose of tonight. He took two steps and three steps, and stepped into the deserted liquor shop in front of him.
Gu Key took one last look around, and squeezed in.
Compared with the busyness of the liquor shops on Yuru Street, the liquor shops here are always so quiet, and the liquor shops where few people sell alcohol can be said to be dead silent.
In front of the few wine tables, only one table was full of men in black robes. The shopkeeper was drowsy in front of the counter, and he never seemed to see Yi Yu and the others who came in.
"What did Guo Jie say there?" Yi Yu sat beside one person in a hurry and drank half of the wine on the table.
"Bastard, that's Lao Tzu's wine!" Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly snatched his cup, and glared at Yi Yu viciously.
"What's the hurry, it's just half a glass of broken wine!" Yi Yu blocked Jiang Xi's outstretched hand, glanced back at the ancient key, and motioned for him to sit beside him.
"Later, when I added the festival, I explained the specific matters to Guo Jie, and this morning he had already entered the Qingyu Building and conveyed false news to Lu Chi. In this way, he can enter the Qingyu Building to find out the true information of Wolf Gu, and let us prepare for the next step. Second, if this Lu Chi is really fooled, then our next actions will be much simpler. β
"It's rare that you're so thoughtful." Yi Yu praised.
"Stupid people care about the process! If Guo Jie fails, then he will not escape death! Jiang Xi glanced at Yi Yu, snorted heavily, and called to the kid across the table, "Zhao Yi, go and bring me another pot of wine!" β
On the other side of the table, the boy who was sucking noodles suddenly stopped his chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth, and hurried to the counter.
"Smelly temper! How can you convince the people in this way! Yi Yu scolded with a smile, dragged the two pairs of chopsticks on the table, handed a pair of ancient keys, and hurriedly went to pick up the pig's head meat with wine.
"You have the heart, and you know that I like to eat this pig's head. It's just that the meat here seems to be a little less meaningful, and it is not as delicious as in the martial arts city. Yi Yu chewed on the fatty pork head meat, and swallowed the wine that was full of wine beside him.
"If you don't eat it, give it to Lao Tzu! Mouth trick! Jiang Xi stretched out his hand and wanted to pull over the plate containing the pig's head meat.
"Eh, eh! What are you doing, kid! Yi Yu drank Jiang Xi and squeezed his hand, "I'm too lazy to talk to you, these children are watching!" There is no appearance of the director at all! β
"You! What a wicked person sues first! Jiang Xi took out the cigarette stick hanging from his waist and trembled with anger.
"Did the director also like to make trouble with Director Yi so much before?" Wu Cai, who was sitting at the corner of the table, quietly approached the ancient key and asked in a low voice.
"This ...... Actually, I don't know, it's the first time I've seen the director like this. He seemed to be too serious before......" Gu Key was stunned, and was also taken aback by the situation in front of him.
"Boys! What to say! I've heard it all! Jiang Xi glared at Wu Cai.
"I didn't ...... Didn't say anything! Wu Cai hurriedly flashed around and sat in his seat obediently.
"This is the young master of the Gu family?" Jiang Xi snorted coldly, and his eyebrows met the ancient key.
"Exactly," Gu Key stood up and bowed respectfully, "My name is Gu Key, Director Jiang, and I have admired it for a long time." β
His status is that of the young master of the Gu family, so there is no need to be polite with Jiang Xi.
"Actually, he's a junior brother of both of us." Yi Yu put down his chopsticks and observed the body of the ancient key with great interest.
Speaking of which, after being in Biansai for so long, when he returned to Lu Mansion, he was in a panic and prepared to go to Liesun City to perform official duties, and he really had never taken a good look at this fellow disciple of his.
"Senior brother? Did the governor take it personally? Jiang Xi was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at Yi Yu.
"It's been a few years, but it's normal that you don't know, when the Ancient Key first came, you were already in Liesun City." Yi Yu said slowly.
"Doesn't seem right......"
"What's wrong?" Yi Yu frowned.
"I have heard a long time ago that the young master of the Gu family is a young man who is feminine and feminine but has an extremely treacherous style, and now when I see it, he looks like a young general, how can it not make me feel strange?" Jiang Ximo rubbed his stubble and looked at the ancient key carefully.
"That could be my brother, Kosuke." Gu Jian sat down again and took a deep breath, "My younger brother's mother is Lu Chi's youngest daughter, Lu Buwan. If outsiders can know that this time the son is the young master, Lu Buwan must have killed me a long time ago. If I hadn't been taken in by the governor, I would have been able to escape her hands. β
"Then I'll stop gossiping and get to the point with our topic for today." Jiang Xi waved his hand, groping for something on his body.
"Then Lu Chi, who Guo Jie went to see in Jin this morning, is also time to come back now. What's going on? Yi Yu's heart twitched violently, and an ominous premonition lingered around him.
"I also think it's strange that I went to look for him at noon, but my subordinates went and never came back." Jiang Xi frowned tightly, a little throbbing.
"Maybe ......" Yi Yu didn't say any more.
"Nothing maybe! We have no chance of failing. Guo Jie's work for people, I rest assured. Don't say anything unpleasant! Jiang Xi slapped the table lightly.
Everyone was quiet, but what they were hiding in their hearts couldn't be stopped.
"Go and let the shopkeeper seal the wine shop, and arrange for our eyes and ears to keep an eye on the outside." Jiang Xi whispered to the little guy beside him, "If you find any suspicious person, report it to me immediately!" β
"I'll go." The little guy listened carefully, quickly got up, and ran towards the counter.
The liquor shop was nominally a place for the street to rest. And its real role is that Lu Biao is hidden in the city of Liexun, the intelligence station of the eyes and ears.
"Well, it's time to tell me about your information." Yi Yu put down his chopsticks and looked at Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi didn't answer him directly, but knocked a small piece of tobacco into the pipe, and lit the tobacco on the candle on the table. He pinched the oily stem, the ebony texture making him feel like he was stroking against a piece of fine jade.
At this moment, he suddenly took out a notebook from his body and threw it on the table. And everyone sitting at the table saw the boxy book.
"Yi Yu, let's open it first." Jiang Xi waved his hand.
"It's ...... Invitation. Yi Yu touched the dark red book, there were a few words in the middle of the bronzing, and the warm texture made him lose his mind for a while. Yes, he caught a glimpse of the changing face of the ancient key beside him.
He caught a glimpse of the last four words, and with this salute, he hurriedly closed the invitation and pushed it back in front of Jiang Xi.
"Seven days later, the niece of the Liexun Lord Lu Chi, Gu Jie. will marry the daughter of the Gu family, Gu Zhu. Invitations have already been circulated among our directors. Of course, as far as I am concerned, this is not an invitation, but just to ensure the personal safety of Lu Chi and his family with other soldiers on the same day. Jiang Xi let out a long breath of turbidity, with a different look in his eyebrows.
"Why...... The invitation didn't get to me? Gu Key asked in a low voice, his hands hanging under the table clenched tightly.
"First of all, Gu Jie has really broken away from the Gu family and merged into the ranks of the Lu family, and after seven days, your younger brother Gu Jie can be called Lu Jie. Maybe Lu Buwan or Lu Chi felt that the time was ripe, and the matter of breaking the Gu family was put on the agenda, and it was not appropriate to delay it any longer. And the invitation issued by Lu Chi was based on his will. Jiang Xi extinguished his pipe, and his gaze intersected with the ancient key.
"But according to Lu Buwan's thoughts, she and her son definitely want to humiliate me the most! Why didn't you give me an invitation? β
"Is that still heavy?" Yi Yu suddenly spoke, "Gu Yu, who is an adopted daughter, was forcibly pushed to the status of a concubine, what does this mean, don't you know Gu Key?" Or are you willing to play dumb rather than face the truth? β
Jiang Xi looked around at the gloomy expressions of the two of them, and decided to change to another topic, "What about you, Yi Yu?" As far as I know, you asked for troops at Lu Chi's mansion yesterday, right? β
"I was surprised that the recruitment went smoothly. Lu Chi seemed to be holding back something, and had to make concessions to my request. Yi Yu whispered.
"What about Wolf Gu......" Jiang Xi said coldly.
Yi Yu was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered his ultimate goal.
"You forgot. Right? Jiang Xi poured half of the wine syrup on the table in one gulp, his eyebrows furrowed, "It doesn't make sense that the director of the Yu Division would have a ridiculous reason to forget this. Are you afraid of something......"
"I can't hide it from you." Yi Yu let out a long sigh.
"Tell me what it is, maybe it will make you feel like it was the right decision."
"By Lu Chi's side, I found an old man, I observed the tiger's mouth on his hand, the calluses were densely layered, and the habit of that big hand was definitely a person who held a knife all year round."
"So you mean, he's going to be the one who cares about the wolf?" Jiang Xi stared at Yi Yu's face, and the candle flame reflected on it, making it dark red.
"No...... He may be the capital of the wolf Gu. β
