Lan Ziyi saw that it was Wu Yousi, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, with a look of mockery and disdain. Lan Ziyi came back for so many days and didn't see this poor Xiu surnamed Wu to come to visit, but today he suddenly came out of the ground. Lan Ziyi still didn't wonder why he hadn't seen this person since he returned to Beijing these days.

After Wu Yousi entered the house, he just put away the umbrella and did not salute Lan Ziyi. Lan Ziyi sat on the board immediately, and he didn't mean to stand up and be polite to Wu Yousi.

Lying on the bed, Tao Zhutu took the lead in asking Wu Yousi:

"My young master has been back for half a month, and you didn't come to visit him with a knife on your feet, what are you doing today?"

Wu Yousi said:

"I have to worry about all the big and small things in the palace, and I can't spare time when I am busy with general affairs, so please forgive me for the marquis and the three masters."

Lan Ziyi looked at Wu Yousi with a smile and said:

"Brother Wu, as the chief steward of the palace, is naturally a loyal minister of the prince, in this case, if someone comes to ask, Brother Wu will go to defend the prince, after all, you know better than me about the prince's return to Beijing, and you can talk about it in more detail than me."

Wu Yousi smiled when he heard this:

"What the adults are looking for is Wei Hou, I am afraid that I will not take the board if I mention you at will."

Then Wu Yousi looked at Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers who were feasting in the room, and said:

"It seems that Wei Hou is not going to invite me to dinner."

Lan Ziyi just took another piece of cake from Tao Zhuhu's hand, and replied:

"Our method of eating in the border area is vulgar and barbaric, compared to Brother Wu's long-term stay in the south of the Yangtze River, three meals a day are as meticulous as spring and snow, we are not even the people of Xiariba. In that case, I will not invite Brother Wu to sit down, so as not to hurt your elegance. ”

Wu Yousi smiled when he heard this:

"Then I really have to thank Wei Hou for his kindness. However, I didn't come to Wei Hou to come to dinner, I had something to tell Wei Hou. ”

Lan Ziyi chewed the cake nonchalantly and asked Wu Yousi:

"What's the matter with Brother Wu?"

Wu Yousi had already walked to the door at this time to open the umbrella again, and when he spoke, half of his body had already stepped out of the house, only to hear him say unhurriedly:

"The sergeants you brought back to the capital and their families came to the palace gate today to ask you to honor the reward you promised before the battle. King De was so frightened that he didn't go out and hid upstairs today, I think Wei Hou should go out early to see how to give an explanation to those soldiers and their families. ”

Lan Ziyi's throat tightened when he heard this, and half of the food he had swallowed was suddenly stuck in his throat, and Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu stepped forward and pushed and slapped and tossed for a long time before Lan Ziyi could breathe smoothly again.

Lan Ziyi took a few breaths to stabilize his breath and immediately jumped up from his seat, and the rest of the cake in his hand was stuffed into his mouth as two mouthfuls and swallowed. Seeing this, the peach chasing the tiger and the moon and the peach chasing the deer hurriedly said:

"Young master, slow down, don't choke anymore."

After swallowing the food, Lan Ziyi limped out in a hurry, and said at the same time:

"The soldiers are all here to block the door, why am I slow? The eldest brother and the second brother come with me, and let's go out and have a look. Third brother, you have a good rest, I will come to see you later. ”

Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu hurriedly held Lan Ziyi's arm for Lan Ziyi and picked up the rain gear at the same time, Tao Zhutu wanted to get up when he heard the words but was pressed by Tao Zhulu, Tao Zhulu said:

"San Lang is recuperating with peace of mind, with me and my eldest brother here, the young master will be fine, just lie down."

After saying that, Tao Zhulu followed Lan Ziyi out of the house in a few arrow steps, leaving Tao Zhutu lying on the bed and moaning:

"Young Master, be careful!"

The two brothers, Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu, supported Lan Ziyi and walked quickly to the gate of the palace, Lan Ziyi was anxious, and the pace was fast, but he was sore and walked so he staggered, Tao Zhuhu couldn't look at it, so he simply carried Lan Ziyi up and ran out, and the speed of the three of them finally increased.

The servants and maids in the palace saw Tao Zhuhu trotting all the way with Lan Ziyi on his back, and they all knew each other to get out of the way, and it didn't take much effort for Lan Ziyi and they came to the front of the mansion.

At this time, the gate of the palace was locked, and more than a dozen small servants stood behind the door with wooden sticks, their faces were full of water, and their collars were already soaked, but the clothes on their bodies were only just a little damp, Lan Ziyi watched these little guys hold their hands on the sticks and move back and forth, as if they were playing, but Lan Ziyi knew that it was just a meaningless action of the flat-headed people who had not been in battle to find comfort for themselves.

Looking at these servants who were looking left and right, their legs were weak, and they were panting and breathing messily, Lan Ziyi raised the corners of his mouth and laughed coldly, and then Lan Ziyi said to Tao Zhuhu:

"Big brother, let me down."

After landing on the ground, Lan Ziyi walked towards the little ones with the support of Tao Zhuhu.

The servants guarding the door heard footsteps behind them, and when they turned around and saw that it was Lan Ziyi coming, they were instantly relieved, and they couldn't care about their hearts, they gathered around Lan Ziyi as if they had seen a savior, took Lan Ziyi's hand and cried:

"Lord Wei! You're finally here! ”

Lan Ziyi didn't want to pay attention to them because these servants were all people of King De, but when he saw these little servants coming forward and seeing their anxious looks, Lan Ziyi's heart softened again. They are also slaves, and they have to do whatever their master tells them to do, and they can't help themselves. Besides, the servants in the palace except for Wang San and Li Si had no festival with Lan Ziyi.

So Lan Ziyi sighed and asked:

"What are you doing here?"

When the servants heard this, they replied:

"Just when I was about to have lunch, suddenly a lot of military households blocked the gate of the palace, saying that they were coming to see the Marquis of Wei, but they couldn't leave, and they didn't see anyone from the government coming. No one outside the house came to help, and no one in the house cared about this, the prince asked us to guard the door, but there were so many people outside the door, what would we do if we really rushed in? ”

Lan Ziyi glanced at the door as the servants spoke, and the thick latch was firmly locked on the door at the moment, and several thick wooden stakes were used behind the door to resist death. Lan Ziyi's thick gate of the Royal Mansion is blocked like this, even if it is hit with a pointed wooden donkey, it will take half a day to open, what kind of guy can the people outside the door have, how can they open this door? And Lan Ziyi didn't hear a commotion outside the door.

Lan Ziyi asked:

"There's no noise on the street outside the door, so you need to look like this?"

When the little guys heard this, they hurriedly waved their hands and said:

"Master Hou, didn't you see the battle on the street, so many people blocked the door and only said that they wanted to see Wei Hou, and then asked why they didn't speak. That's scary! ’

Lan Ziyi frowned when he heard this, and immediately waved his hand to the gate and said:

"Open the door!"

When the little guys heard this, they were shocked:

"Can't open it, Master Hou can't open it!"

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi scolded:

"Open the door! I, Lan Ziyi, have never been afraid of the millions of demon thieves before the battle, and now that my own people are here, what am I afraid of? Open the door! “

Those little guys didn't dare to say more when they heard this, and hurriedly went to the door to tear down the obstacles.

Lan Ziyi walked quickly to the door with the support of Tao Zhuhu, and Tao Zhulu was about to hold an umbrella for him but was stopped by him, Lan Ziyi said:

"What are you doing with an umbrella? Do the family members outside have umbrellas? “

By the time Lan Ziyi walked to the door, the servants had already pulled out the latch, and one of them asked Lan Ziyi:

"Master Hou, do you really want to go out?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"Of course."

The little guy said again:

"Then let's go out with Master Hou to strengthen your momentum."

Hearing this, Lan Ziyi glanced at the little guy who spoke, and said:

"The people who come out are all your own people, what kind of momentum do you have for me? I'm afraid to seal the door when I get out! I'll take care of the things outside! “

After saying that, Lan Ziyi stretched out his hand to open the door, and the two brothers, Tao Zhuhu and Tao Zhulu, helped Lan Ziyi to step out of the house.

The scene outside the door was indeed as described by Wu Yousi and the little servants, and the streets were full of people.

Among these people who came, there were old and young, men and women, and many of them came with their families, but Lan Ziyi looked at it but only saw a few strong men, and the few prime men who came with him were still missing arms and legs.

Outside the door, there were no umbrellas, and the elderly and women with children were all huddled under the door and the corners of the house to barely shelter from the rain, while the rest of the people could only sit in the street and let the rain rain.

So many people gathered in the same street, looking back and forth, it was almost impossible to see the end, but they just sat silently on the ground and did not say a word. Hearing the sound of the door, everyone immediately looked forward, and as soon as Lan Ziyi stepped out of the door, the family members who were blocking the door spontaneously dispersed backwards to clear an open space for Lan Ziyi.

Seeing this situation, Lan Ziyi immediately pushed away the Tao family brother who was supporting him, stretched out his arms respectfully, and asked everyone in front of him:

"It's not talented, it's Lan Ziyi. Dare to ask the folks, fathers, if there is anything you want me to help with? ”
