"People are gone?"

Xiao Yu sat in the lobby, holding a cup of fragrant tea, savoring it. As soon as he saw Li Ru walk in, he asked Li Ru.

"Let's go, I'll personally send him out of the city." Li Ru nodded and said.

"This negotiation was a success, right?"

Xiao Yu thinks it's not bad. I just don't know if I met Li Ru's expectations, after all, I directly threw Li Ru aside later, and the whole negotiation was arbitrary by myself.

"Very well, my lord. This negotiation even exceeded my expectations, I didn't expect you to be able to get to the point, it is indeed unprofitable for the family. There's nothing like Sima You's head to prove our abilities, and being able to reach a cooperation agreement on this is even better than I expected. ”

With a smile on his face, Li Ru said affirmatively to Xiao Yu.

"That's good, I'm still wondering if this assertion will disrupt Wenyou's plan." Xiao Yu said with a smile with a little embarrassment and something that seemed innocent.

"It seems that the lord is not without self-knowledge, right?"

Li Ru said to Xiao Yu in a tone with Nuoyu.

"Hehehe...... I didn't inform Wen You in advance, it's really mine. ”

"My lord, it's not that there is no distinction between master and servant, but this negotiation is too important. It almost affects our future layout, so there will be rudeness in the future. ”

Li Ru naturally knew that he was not distinguishing between master and servant, and it was not a gift for a monarch and a minister. However, this matter is very important, and Li Ru feels the need to remind him that this is his duty.

"It's okay, Wen You, if I have anything wrong in the future, you just scold."

Xiao Yu hurriedly waved his hand, if Li Ru was dissatisfied because of this matter, it would be too much to lose!

"My lord, now that we have reached an agreement with the family represented by Wu Yi, do you want to start preparing next?"

"Let's start, the left and right are the things of the past few days, a little earlier, a little earlier." Xiao Yu nodded and said.

"Then I will go down and arrange it in the next place, and I will definitely present Sima You's head before the end of the year!"

"Then I'll wait for Wen Youjia's news."

"Next, let's go down and prepare, farewell."

Li Ru respectfully and slowly exited the lobby.

"Your Excellency!"

As soon as he left the Xiao Mansion, the two armor soldiers in front of the door immediately stepped forward.

"Let's go."

Li Ru looked up and down, and after making sure that it was Xiao Yu's escort arranged for him, he nodded and left with the two.

The Xiao family is a powerful man in the north, although it is not recognized by the family because of its lack of heritage, but the Xiao family is not bad in terms of financial resources.

After Li Ru took refuge, Xiao Yu immediately purchased a mansion for him in the city, and equipped it with thirty skilled armor soldiers.

People in the military are naturally not very good at serving people, but Xiao Yu's purpose is not to let them serve Li Ru, but to protect Li Ru. At present, Li Ruke is his own think tank, and there are still many places to rely on in the future.

Besides, in this game of chess in the north, Li Ru is also needed to serve as a staff officer, so Li Ru's safety is the first priority. Even at present, Li Ru is more important than Yan Liang, Yan Liang at least has Zhu Tianpeng to replace for the time being, but a resourceful person like Li Ru is irreplaceable.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Ru's mansion is not far from Xiao's mansion, only two streets apart.

At this time, it was the beginning of the hour, and the streets were naturally empty, and there was no entertainment in ancient times. Families, shops and vendors also went to rest early.

But standing at the corner of the street, Li Ru always felt a little strange.

"My lord, is there anything wrong?"

The two armor soldiers immediately drew their swords out of their sheaths, one in front of the other, and guarded Li Ru in the middle.

"That's not right."

Li Ru frowned and looked at the street in front of him. The bone-chilling wind blows the autumn leaves and rolls on the ground.

"Go back immediately!"

Suddenly, Li Ru knew what was wrong. This is a rich area, and it's been so long that there hasn't even been a watchman, which is so strange.

"Be careful, sir!"

A little cold light suddenly lit up in the dark air, heading straight for Li Ru's eyebrows.

"Bang ......"

A little spark, blooming in the night. A soldier held a big knife in his hand, making a parry posture, blocking in front of Li Ru.

"There are assassins! Protect your adults! ”

Another soldier shouted, putting his finger in his mouth. A sharp, loud whistle rang out in the sky.

"Quick! Act fast, the people of the Xiao Mansion will be here soon! ”

Seven or eight black-clothed men with bronze ghost faces leaped from the rooftops of the surrounding houses with swords in one hand and daggers in the other. Surrounded Li Ru and the three of them.

The leader, with a silver ghost face, spoke in an eager voice.

"Why does this sound sound familiar?"

Li Ru was slightly stunned, how could the voice of this leader sound so familiar? Li Ru can be sure that he must have dealt with this person in the past.

"Up!"

These black-clothed people were like ghosts, walking silently, and came straight to Li Ru.

"This place is not far from the Xiao Mansion, the lord must have noticed it, hold on, and in a few moments, reinforcements will come!"

Li Ru pulled out his saber and said encouragingly.

A little cold light came to his face, and Li Ru hurriedly raised his sword to block. The dagger slashed across Li Ru's arm, leaving a trail of blood.

"Damn it!"

One of the armorers let out a roar and slashed at the man in black who threw a dagger at Li Ru.

The man in black jumped backwards a little to avoid the knife. The armor soldier stepped out in one step, raised his leg and kicked out, and the man in black snorted and flew out upside down.

Before the armorer could stabilize his body, the three black-clothed men suddenly pounced, and the long swords in their hands stabbed into the armor's abdomen. Then a man in black rushed towards Li Ru quickly.

"Yikes!"

The big knife came out of his hand and inserted it into the back of the man in black who rushed towards Li Ru, and at the same time swung his fists violently to drive the man in black beside him away.

Before he could catch his breath, a man in black descended from the sky and landed on his shoulder, the dagger in his hand slicing his throat with ease. The hot blood spurted out and turned into a burst of blood mist.

"Fourth!"

Another soldier, seeing that his companion was dead, immediately let out a cry of grief, ignoring the sword that slashed at his back. Grabbing the wrist of the man in black in front of him, he pulled hard towards him, stabbed him in the abdomen with the big knife in his hand, and then kicked him away. Then he turned around and stabbed the man in black behind him.

A series of movements, like flowing water, in one go.

After getting rid of the entanglement temporarily, he wanted to rush to Li Ru's side, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. A sharp sword poked out of his abdomen, scarlet blood dripping down the tip of the sword.

The silver-faced leader pulled out his sword and swung it hard, throwing all the blood on the sword to the ground. Only the sword body was left in the moonlight, exuding a faint silver glow.

"Quick! Deal with him! ”

The silver-faced leader raised his sword and pointed at Li Ru, and said a little impatiently. The two black-clothed men beside him immediately rushed towards Li Ru.

"Whoosh......"

"Whoosh......"

Two sounds of breaking the sky sounded, and two sharp arrows hit the brains of the two men in black.

"Wen You, don't panic, Ben will be in the future!"

Xiao Yu was eager, and his angry voice came into everyone's ears.

"Lord!"

Li Ru was suddenly shocked and shouted loudly.

"Damn it, withdraw!"

The silver-faced leader also knew that this operation was a failure, and immediately led the remaining men in black to sneak into the night.
