The auction of crystal Buddha beads and other items was widely disseminated by Lin Yi.

And leave enough buffer time to attract wealthy investors outside Ningzhou to get the news and participate in the auction to get the maximum return possible.

While plotting to plan the secret camp, a personal soldier presented a letter from the Yue Zhou Guard.

It is said that the envoy of Tonghai Jiedu sent a mission, led by Duan Siying, the eldest son of Duan Siping, the envoy of Tonghai Jiedu.

It is said that in order to alleviate the current predicament of Yunnan, he specially gave us 3,000 stone of grain and 200 horses of silk cloth from Yunnan, and is currently waiting outside the Weiguan in Yuezhou.

Cheng Xun, the acting defense envoy of Yuezhou Wei, did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and specially sent someone to report and ask if they would be let in.

When Li Yi heard the unexpected news, he muttered to himself.

Except for the suppression of Sun Decheng's rebellion, in order to show the position and attitude of the Han court, he revised a letter to Duan Siping, and never had any contacts in other aspects.

In order not to irritate the Great Yi Ning Kingdom, he has not yet considered establishing some kind of close contact with the sea side.

However, Duan Siping made this rather subtle move in the predicament of Yunnan.

Sending us food is secondary, and maintaining close ties with us in Yunnan is their real goal.

I have seen this kind of thing very clearly, whether there is already an entanglement, and the Dayi Ningguo side knows about it, it must be extremely unhappy.

However, the so-called 'reaching out and not hitting the smiling person', if someone takes the initiative to give gifts, can they still turn it away?

Ay! No matter what calculations people make, since they are contributing money and efforts to support Yunnan, we cannot neglect them.

Even if they come to take the opportunity to spy on the military, we can't turn them away with a small stomach.

It is my creed not to refuse to come, anyway, in such a delicate situation, both sides want to borrow from me, and I only need to take it all at both ends.

Hehe! However, what is somewhat incomprehensible is that the names taken by these white barbarians are really ridiculous, the father is called Duan Siping, and the son is called Duan Siying, and I don't know what to say about this generation.

Li Yi immediately asked Lin Yi to write an order, stamped it with the big seal of the Xuanfu envoy, and asked the person from Yuezhou Wei to bring it back.

He instructed Cheng Xun to immediately open the city gates and warmly welcome the Tonghai Mission with a grand ceremony, and only need to take the necessary precautions.

The distance from Yuezhou Wei to Ningzhou was less than fifty miles, and it took less than an hour.

The mission of 100 people on the sea drove dozens of carriages full of grain and cloth to the outside of Ningzhou City under the escort of the cavalry of Yuezhou Wei.

In order to show respect for Tonghai, Li Yi sent a welcome team headed by Jian Zheng, the commander of the Ningzhou Soldiers and Horses, to express a warm and grand welcome to Duan Gongzi's arrival.

Soon, Duan Siying and others came to the Xuanfu Envoy's Mansion.

Li Yi hurriedly lowered the steps to greet him, and held the hands of the tall and upright Duan Gongzi.

Said sincerely: "I am deeply grateful for the deep friendship of the envoy of the section of the sea. When Yunnan encountered difficulties, Duan Jiedu was able to selflessly lend a helping hand to help Yunnan overcome the difficulties, and Li Mou was sincerely grateful for such a good neighborly friendship. Please ask Duan Gongzi to convey his gratitude to Ling Zun on my behalf. ”

Duan Siying was also full of joy, and said humbly: "The kid is not talented, and he dares to work hard to greet Li Shuai, but he is really ashamed." I have long heard that Li Shuai is a capable minister with good morality and ability, and his name of virtue is well-known in Lingnan. And now he can open his mind and resolutely accept tens of thousands of hungry people in southern Sichuan. ”

"This kind of boldness is not something we dare to hope for. My father admired Li Shuai's demeanor, and specially ordered the boy to come and give some money and goods to save the emergency, which was really insignificant, but it made Li Shuai smile. ”

Seeing that he was polite and polite, Li Yi was a little happy in his heart.

After a cordial courtesy, he walked towards the conference hall with him, and said humbly: "Li Yi has long heard of the prestige of Duan Jiedu's envoy, and he only hates not to see each other. This time I have to meet Duan Gongzi, it is also the fate between us, I have the opportunity to go to Tonghai to visit Ling Zun, so as to express my gratitude. ”

As he spoke, in a humble voice, he let Duan Siying into the conference hall.

As soon as the guests and hosts sat down, Li Yi suddenly had some strange feelings, but he couldn't say why.

When I was greeting Duan Siying, I vaguely found that there was a pair of wonderful eyes behind him that attracted my heart like a magnet.

It's just that just now I have been busy exchanging respects with Duan Siying, and I haven't paid attention to the situation behind him, and at this time, I realized that a guard standing behind him has a feeling of déjà vu.

The guard had been following Duan Siying's side closely, staring at him as if he was not, which made Li Yi immediately pay attention to him.

Under a peek and careful observation, Li Yicai was surprised to find it.

The guard was none other than Dao Hongying, the bold and spicy girl in red he met in Zhong Ling Mountain.

Although she disguised herself as a man and wore a black protective armor, she was finally easily recognized because of her deep impression of her, or because of the sharpness of her sixth sense.

At this time, Li Yi's surprise was no less than seeing the legendary flying saucer, which was really incredible. I didn't expect her to be the personal entourage of the son of the envoy of the Tonghai Festival, which I never dreamed of.

And they followed each other like shadows, but they didn't know what kind of relationship it was, Li Yi was stunned for a while.

That Dao Hongying probably also noticed that Li Yi had recognized her, and a shy expression appeared on her face.

As if embarrassed to meet his eyes again, he lowered his head slightly.

At this time, Duan Siying also noticed the abnormality and glanced back at Dao Hongying.

Hurriedly apologized with a hint of uneasiness: "Has Li Shuai seen this personal entourage of mine?" If that's the case, that's a coincidence. ”

Li Yi was a little embarrassed, he was a dignified Yunnan Xuanfu envoy, and he was staring at a person who was intently eye-catching, in fact, he was still a delicate and beautiful girl, how could it not be surprising!

Li Yi hurriedly concealed his embarrassment, and pretended to be natural and calm: "Where! Where! I'm just a little familiar with your relatives, probably because I recognized the wrong person. ”

Duan Siying no longer asked, but talked with Li Yi about the customs of Yunnan and the relief of the hungry people in the past few days.

Li Yi couldn't calm down, but he chatted with him about some innocuous topics, but his heart flew to the body of Dao Hongying.

even wondered if there was an unusual relationship between her and Duan Siying, which made Li Yi vaguely feel a trace of indescribable chagrin.

Fortunately, Duan Siying didn't notice anything, and the conversation went on smoothly.

Until Duan Siying proposed to say goodbye, Li Yi had a feeling of reluctance, although he wanted to try his best to keep him to talk about the wine to talk about the friendship between his neighbors.

However, Duan Siying insisted on resigning on the grounds that Yunnan was busy with affairs and it was inconvenient to disturb.

After sending them outside the gate of the Xuanfu envoy and watching the backs of their group disappear from his sight, Li Yi returned to the mansion in a bit of a daze.

After sitting for a long time, he dispelled the chaotic thoughts and unwarranted questions after seeing Dao Hongying, and Li Yi returned to the inner house listlessly.
