After more than a year of absence from Pengcheng, Liu Yu came back again, looking at the familiar grass and trees in the city, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

If Jingkou is Liu Yu's hometown, then Pengcheng is the place where he rose.

He not only stationed in Pengcheng for nearly three years, but also broke the Xianbei Iron Cavalry here, and since then he has embarked on a broad road.

In the Assassin's Mansion, Liu Yu stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, staring at the sky worriedly.

Since going north, he has been closely monitoring the changes in the situation in the north.

Nowadays, the northern land has gradually become unified, except for Hexi, only the two Hulu regimes of Southern Yan and Northern Wei remain.

But Liu Yu knew that in the face of him, Huan Xuan, and Wei Shuo's tripartite alliance, the demise of Nanyan was a foregone conclusion.

In this way, there are actually only two major forces in the entire north, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Hexi.

Except for Yan Zhao and Qi Di, King Yong has basically unified most of the northern regions.

If there is no accident, after the rectification of the Central Plains, then King Yong's next target must be Tuoba Wei.

Although Wei Yongzhi had comforted him, saying that King Yong would not go south to Jiangdong for the time being, he also believed Wei Yongzhi's judgment.

But the key is that King Yong will go south sooner or later.

Once King Yong destroyed the Wei State and took all the Yan Zhao and Dai lands, would he be able to block the Hexi soldiers with a corner of Jiangdong?

After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Yu secretly sighed, the prospect was not optimistic.

So what do you do next? Unless Huan Xuan is overturned as soon as possible and Jiangdong is captured.

In this way, when King Yong and the Tuoba people compete in the future, he will lead the army to the west to recover the hometown of Xishu, or he may still have the opportunity to row the river with King Yong.

I'm afraid that if he doesn't wait for him to take Shu, King Yong has led a large army back to Jiangnan, and then he is afraid that there will be no way out except to tie his hands.

Alas! What a headache.

Just when Liu Yu was sad, he saw the guard Ding Yi come in and report: "My lord, the Qilu family, and the envoy of Qian Peihao ask to see you." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yu couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that he had heard something, so he asked again.

"Who is it? Who asks to meet? ”

"The Confucian family of Lu County and the Xiahou clan of Qian County have sent envoys to ask to see the lord."

Well?! The Confucian family of Lujun is a Qilu family, and the family is noble, how could they suddenly send someone to see him?

When he was stationed in Pengcheng for three years, the adjacent Kong family didn't even look at him.

As for the Xiahou clan of Qian County, it is also the representative of Qian Peihaoqiang, and he has not been taken seriously.

But Liu Yu is Liu Yu after all, he was only slightly surprised, and soon figured out the reason.

He took the post from Ding Yi's hand and looked at it, it was actually the son of Kong Wei, the head of the contemporary Confucian family, and the head of the Xiahou family visiting at the same time.

He bowed his head and groaned for a moment, then got up and went out in person.

Outside the gate, Xiahou Ling was standing in front of the steps and waiting.

Coincidentally, he didn't expect to rush to the Kong family.

But this is fine, the two families have common interests and needs, and soon formed an alliance.

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps in the house, but I saw a majestic man walking out.

Xiahou Ling took a look at it, and couldn't help but secretly praise, he deserved to be the number one fierce general who was currently famous in Jiangdong, and his appearance was really extraordinary.

Xiahou's family is not as good as the Kong family, and he doesn't dare to take too big in the face of Liu Yu.

Xiahou Ling saw Liu Yu coming out, so he took the initiative to step forward and hug his fists and said, "Liu Zhoumu, I am fortunate to be happy." ”

"Xiahou is too guarded from afar, and Yu has lost his welcome."

Ding Yi followed behind Liu Yu, and when he saw his smile on his face, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, he hadn't seen Liu Yu so enthusiastic for a long time.

Kong Fu, the son of Kong Wei next to him, saw Liu Yu leaving him behind, and couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

After the three of them greeted each other, accompanied by Liu Yu, they entered the gate together and came to the lobby of the mansion.

Liu Yu asked Kong Fu and Xiahou Ling to sit down, and asked Ding Yi to serve tea, and then asked the two of them what they meant.

Xiahou Ling glanced at Kong Fu without a trace, and did not answer Liu Yu directly, but diverted the topic.

"I heard that the general put down the southeast rebellion and was promoted to the middle of the service because of his merits, which is really gratifying!"

"Hehe, thank you, thank you."

"The general went all the way north, have you heard any rumors?"

"Rumors? What does it mean? Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, Liu Yu had no choice but to accompany him to play haha.

"That...... The general went all the way north, and it was rare that he hadn't heard of the great changes in the situation in the Central Plains? ”

"Central Plains? Didn't the imperial court let King Yong supervise the Central Plains, what else could there be? ”

"It was King Yong's entry into the Central Plains that caused all parts of the country to be ready to move."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Now King Yong is vigorously promoting the uniform land system in the Central Plains, and indiscriminately plundering the land of the family, which has already aroused the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people."

"If it weren't for the fact that the Hexi army was in full swing, maybe the Central Plains would have been full of smoke."

"As a pillar of the imperial court, is it rare for the general to stand by while watching the death of the princess family?"

Although Xiahou Ling and Kong Fu said a little implicitly, Liu Yu had already figured out the intention of the two.

Basically, it was the same as he guessed, it was nothing more than wanting him to take the lead against King Yong and help the two of them keep their family's property.

But to be honest, Liu Yu was not interested in this, and even he was faintly on the side of King Yong.

However, there are some things that are one thing to think about in your heart, and quite another to say and do.

At the moment, Liu Yu only cares about what benefits he can get from it.

Liu Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Is land really that important to the two families?" ”

"That's nature! Without land, the family is equal to a fish out of water, and sooner or later it will decline. ”

"And the foundation of the world is the family, if the family declines, then China will inevitably decline."

Speaking of this, Xiahou Ling took out a stack of papers from his arms and presented it to Liu Yu.

"This is a meeting gift from my Xiahou family and the Kong family to the general, please accept it."

"If the general can help my two families keep the family property, there will be a heavy reward afterwards."

Liu Yu took it and looked at it, and was immediately stunned by the numbers on it.

To say that Liu Yu is no longer Wuxia Ameng, he has been ranked as an important minister of the imperial court because of his merits, and he also manages hundreds of thousands of people, and the number of treasures he handles is also innumerable.

But it was the first time that someone gave such a heavy gift.

What's more, Xiahou Ling and Kong Fu made it very clear that this was just a meeting ceremony, and there would be a heavy gift afterwards.

Although Liu Yu is not greedy for money, he also knows that money is inseparable from fighting wars and fighting for the world.

Although he knew that the money was hot, he couldn't help but be moved.

At that moment, Liu Yu was no longer ambiguous, and said directly: "The two of you should know that King Yong's name is inside and outside, and there is nothing to do in the world!" ”

"He has just been authorized by the imperial court, and the entire Central Plains is under his jurisdiction, including Lu County and Qian County."

"If you want to stand up for the two families, once you provoke King Yong's revenge, you may not be able to stand it."

"So you'll have to pay a lot of money."

In the face of Liu Yu taking advantage of the fire to rob, although Xiahou Ling and Kong Fu were dissatisfied, they did not dare to leave.

The two thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and discuss it, and come back to visit the general in a few days." ”

"Alright! Waiting for the two drivers at any time. ”

……

The two envoys had just left, and Wei Yongzhi and Xie Hui immediately rushed to see Liu Yu after hearing the news.

Liu Yu then told the two staff members that the Xiahou family and the Kong family had come to ask for help.

Wei Yongzhi frowned and said, "Lord, you don't really want to agree to the request of the two families, do you?" ”

"What about saying yes? That Wei Shuo was very arrogant, and he just took the opportunity to teach him a lesson! ”

Xie Hui was born in a family, and he didn't have a good impression of Wei Shuo, so his attitude was naturally biased towards the family.

But Liu Yu has always been shrewd, how could he venture to make trouble with Hexi because of a little money.

What he did just now was just a false relationship with the two families, and he even thought about black eating black.

Therefore, he sneered twice and said, "If Xiahou and the Kong family are willing to send us money to spend, Yu naturally has no reason to push it out." ”

"It's rare that the lord plans to take the wealth of the two families for nothing?"

"Hey, hey! If the two families dare to openly provoke King Yong, they will inevitably not be able to escape being raided and exterminated in the future. ”

"Rather than all the benefits being obtained by King Yong, why can't we get a piece of the pie?"

"Let's not mention the Xiahou family, the Kong family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the wealth in the family is innumerable, as long as we bring a little, it is enough to greatly improve our own strength."

"But what if you offend King Yong because of this?"

"If we quietly grind and start, it will naturally make King Yong think that we have bad intentions, so he will be very dissatisfied."

"But as long as we are honest with King Yong, with King Yong's heart, we will inevitably turn a blind eye."

"So there's no money to do here?"

"Not only can it be done, but it is also a huge profit."
