Volume 3 Baoling Prefecture Chapter 62 The crux of the matter
Mu Chen and Qi Luna stopped outside the door of Wei Gonglu's bedroom, knocked on the door a few times, woke him up from his sleep, and heard movement in the room, so the two pushed the door and entered.
"Mu Chen, what's going on so late?" Wei Gonglu was wearing a white nightgown, sitting on the edge of the bed, still a little confused.
"I want to ask you for one more thing, the girl just came back from the council and heard about it..."Mu Chen told him about Quan Yuren's plan to betray himself and the nobles to deal with the Spirit Clan.
"The old city lord would actually do this, where did you find out the news, is it reliable?" Wei Gonglu pretended to be surprised and confirmed to Qi Luna again.
Qi Luna nodded, and Mu Chen took over: "These words were all said by the little city lord, and they can't be wrong." ”
"Wait, Mu Chen, who is Old Liu you mentioned, and what is his name?"
Mu Chen looked at Qi Luna, Qi Luna paused for a few seconds and replied, "Liu Yixian." ”
"Liu Yixian, Patriarch, are you sure? If Liu Yixian takes the lead, then the old city lord..."Wei Gonglu didn't say all his words, if it was Liu Yixian who took the lead in accountability, Quan Yuren could only betray the Spirit Clan, regardless of whether it was sincere or not. But if these words were told to Mu Chen truthfully, wouldn't it be a shooting stone on his own feet, so the second half of the sentence was omitted.
"Who is Liu Yixian, why did you say half of what you said?"
"The old man was a little surprised, he didn't expect Liu Yi to come forward first, he had already stopped asking about the world, if he and the old city lord agreed to expel the spirit clan, then this matter would not be easy to handle. After saying this, Wei Gonglu introduced Liu Yixian's net worth background again to cover up his slip of the tongue.
"According to what you say, as long as he relaxes, the rest of the nobles will not continue to insist, right?" Hearing this, Mu Chen immediately found a way.
"It's possible, with his prestige in the state, if he nods, the rest of the people shouldn't say anything more. But the old city lord..."
"Quan Yuren, you don't have to worry about it, I have my own way to solve it. Do you know this guy named Liu Yixian?"
"Recognition is understanding, but friendship is not deep. ”
"Where does he live? The girl and I will go to him now. ”
"Mu Chen, don't you want to... Wait, you and the Patriarch, and Liu Yixian..."Wei Gonglu suddenly stood up and looked at them thoughtfully.
"Huh... Wei Gonglu, what's wrong with you?"
"I thought about it... I thought about it, and I thought about how to convince Liu Yixian. Mu Chen, you and the Great Patriarch saved his life, sixty years ago..."Wei Gonglu told the two of them about resisting the tide of demonic beasts in Baoling Prefecture sixty years ago, and among the people they saved at that time were their own father and the Liu family.
"Wei Gang told me about it, but he never mentioned this person, how can you be sure. ”
Mu Chen rushed into Infinite City thirty years ago, and the palace at that time was Weigang, and he was ordered to lead his troops to quell the rebellion, but after learning that the invaders were Mu Chen and Qi Luna, he only did superficial work, and never fought to the death, and even took the initiative to contact Mu Chen in private to reveal information, so until his death, the relationship between the two was good.
"No, my father was stationed in the town where they are now in the family's domain, and he must have been hiding in a pit to save his life. ”
"Then I'll trouble you to run, after all, the girl and I..."
"I understand, I understand. However, his territory is some distance from Baoling City, and he should not rush back overnight, so I will send someone to inquire first, find his residence in the city, and I will set off immediately. With that, Wei Gonglu got up and changed his clothes, and then went to call the chief manager.
Because of the relocation of the Spirit Clan, a large number of nobles living outside the city have entered the city today, and such a big matter must be grasped by the Wei Mansion who is full of eyeliner all over the city, so there will be news of Liu Yixian's residence soon.
"Mu Chen, he is staying at the Hongshou Hotel, I'll go now, do you have anything else to ask?"
"Wei Gonglu, I owe you once for the matter of Erniu and Mocheng, this time..."
"Don't talk about that... Without saying that, I set off. "Wei Gonglu is different from Quan Yuren, he is willing to do things for Mu Chen, he never thought of sitting on the throne to rule the world, he just wants the Wei family to keep their status forever, and there will always be a strong backer behind him.
Sending Wei Gonglu out of the house, Mu Chen and Qi Luna were completely sleepless, and the two returned to the room and sorted out the whole thing.
It was the second half of the night when he arrived at the Hongshou Hotel, the guard knocked on the door, and when the man saw that it was the Imperial Assistant, he turned around and ran, and immediately went to report to the boss, but he didn't even salute.
After a while, the boss opened his chest and was disheveled, tied his belt while running, hurriedly came to Wei Gonglu, bowed deeply, and asked, "Lord Imperial Assistant, it's so late, what's the matter with you?"
Wei Gonglu turned sideways slightly, tilted his head and asked: "Does Liu Yixian and Liu Lao live here, the old man has something important to discuss with him, you... You lead the way. ”
"It's... Yes, you come with me. The boss hurriedly tied his clothes and walked in front of the cat.
Going up to the fifth floor, there were several attendants blocking the staircase, and said in a stern tone: "Boss, we have already covered the entire floor, how dare you bring people up." ”
"The old man and the imperial assistant superintendent are with the city guards, and if you have something important to discuss with your master, I hope you will report it. ”
As soon as several attendants saw that it was Lord Wei, they respectfully let him in, led him into the living room of the suite, and waited, and then went to Tongyu.
A few minutes later, Leo came out of the bedroom first, dressed in a nightgown and with messy hair.
"Master Wei, why is this time coming, my old man didn't even change his clothes when he heard that you had something important to discuss, forgive me, forgive me. ”
Wei Gonglu saw him step forward, hurriedly got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Old Liu, it's really rude to come to the door at this time, it disturbs your dream, I hope you don't blame it." ”
"Alas... Sit, sit, why don't you even have a cup of tea, you..."
The attendants hurriedly went to prepare refreshments, and Wei Gonglu took this time to say a few more pleasantries.
"When did you enter the city, why didn't you inform me, you haven't seen you for many years, are you in good health?"
"I'm an idle old man, I can eat and sleep, and I'm in good health. ”
"Hehe, why do you live here, why don't you live in the council, you want to enjoy the light, move to my house tomorrow, and ensure that it is more comfortable than here. ”
"Don't bother Lord Wei, I'll go back tomorrow. People are old and don't want to stay outside for a long time. ”
Speaking of this, the attendants brought the refreshments, and when they were ready, Liu Yi made a gesture and motioned for them to go down.
"Master Wei, if you have something, just say it, come to see my old man so late, you won't just ask for warmth. ”
"Elder Liu, then I'll just say it, the matter of the Spirit Clan..."
"I have already discussed this matter with Prince Ren, so you should ask him. Liu Yi stopped him first, probably guessing what was going on.
"If Elder Liu is unwilling to talk, then I will have a friendship with you first. ”
Liu Yi picked up the teacup first, took two sips of tea, and did not reply.
"Sixty years ago, my father Wei Gang was ordered to go to Baoling Prefecture to resist the tide of demonic beasts, and he hid your whole family in a cave in the ground to save your life. ”
"Lord Weigang's life-saving grace, my old man will never forget it, but the matter of the relocation of the Spirit Clan, I..."
"Wait a minute, my father did fight with all his might at that time, but with a demonic beast corpse of that scale, do you think hundreds of defenders have such an ability?"
"That's when the time limit for the tide has come, and they're killing each other. "The once-in-a-decade beast tide and the sixtie-year tide are time-limited, and although the monsters target humans and livestock as their primary targets, once they are killed, many different types of monsters will return to their natural state, attacking each other and hunting for food.
"Just a few caves can dodge millions of monsters, are you oversimplifying? ”
"My old man doesn't know what you want to say, but I owe you the Wei family anything, except for the matter of the Spirit Clan. Liu Yixian did not pay attention to Wei Gonglu's inquiry, but refused outright.
"My father is desperately resisting, but there are other people who really protect you, they fought for dozens of days, killed all the monster tides, and left without asking for anything in return. If my father hadn't been in contact with them in advance, I guess no one would have remembered their names. ”
"This..."
"Mu Chen and Qi Luna, it is the beast tide that these two have joined forces to repel together, you actually want to go against the life-saving benefactor today, is this what you should do as a noble example?"
Liu Yixian always felt that it was Wei Gang who saved everyone, he was still young at the time, he just followed his elders to hide in the cave, and he had not seen Mu Chen and Qi Luna, plus Wei Gang deliberately concealed it, most of the people who had seen the two of them were no longer alive, so he had never heard of the truth, and when Wei Gonglu said this, he couldn't help but bow his head and recall the past.
"Elder Liu, I am willing to tell the truth, and I will not hesitate to ruin my father's reputation, just so that you will not be charged with ingratitude. ”
Having said this, Liu Yixian was a little shaken, after he was a serious and famous family in Baoling Prefecture, his character could be seen from the time when he gave way to Quan Yuren, the old man had never been instructed in his life, and he valued the honor of the family more than anything else.
"Lord Wei, it's hard for my old man, it's really true to accept a foreign race..."
Seeing him like this, Wei Gonglu hurriedly persuaded him: "Old Liu, I don't understand what you are for, there are two pioneers to guarantee, what other concerns do you have?"
"My clan is weak, that Mu Chen coerced the emperor back then, and he insisted on bringing the mercenaries into the human race, fortunately, they didn't do evil, or you let those ordinary people protect themselves and how to fight against them. Now that we are going to place a legendary race in Baoling State, we don't know about them, how can you reassure me. ”
Finally, Wei Gonglu asked the crux of the problem, Liu Yixian had the same idea as most of the stubborn and antique old antiques, and discriminated against foreign races from the bottom of his heart, equating them with Warcraft, believing that they would only exploit and harm human beings, so he could avoid them and avoid them, and he was unwilling to associate with them.
