Li Wenyuan's guess was not wrong, since a few days ago, information has been sent from his subordinates, and in the past few days, it seems that some people have gone to the prefect's mansion.

These people are tall and their heads are so tightly covered that they can't see them at all. And they all entered through the small gate of the prefect's house, and did not enter directly through the gate.

It's so sneaky, it's hard to believe that they don't have any thoughts.

As for where these people came from, there was no way to trace their whereabouts, only that they appeared suddenly, and the number was not large, three or two appeared, and quickly disappeared into the small door behind the prefect, if Li Wenyuan had not sent people to stare at all the doors of the prefect, I am afraid they would not have found it.

Li Wenyuan listened to his subordinates' reports, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes, he touched his chin, and then turned his head to look at Xie Yu who was standing aside and said, "Brother Xie, what do you think about this?" ”

Xie Yu stood next to him, and when he heard Li Wenyuan speak, he glanced at Li Wenyuan, was quiet for a while, and then asked in a deep voice: "You said those people are very tall?" How should we compare to us? ”

The subordinate didn't expect Xie Yu to ask like this, and was slightly stunned, and then replied respectfully: "Back to Gongzi Xie, you and Master Li are already tall, but those people, according to the eyes of their subordinates, seem to be a head taller than the two." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Wenyuan also sensed that something was wrong, and he glanced at Xie Yu.

"Could it be that they are not from the Central Plains?"

You must know that he and Xie Yu are already eight feet tall, which is relatively tall compared to ordinary people. But these few faceless people are even taller than them.

In addition, Li Wenyuan couldn't think of other possibilities.

But how could such a person be here?

Xie Yu's eyes flashed slightly when he heard Li Wenyuan ask, and then as if he had thought of something, he slowly lowered his voice and said, "If it weren't for the Central Plains, there would be only one possibility-"

When Li Wenyuan heard Xie Yu's voice, he met his somewhat unfathomable eyes, as if he didn't think of anything, and his heart jumped suddenly.

"You mean, barbarians?" When Li Wenyuan said this, his voice subconsciously lowered a lot.

When the subordinate heard these three words, his face changed drastically.

Is it a barbarian?

But how is that possible?

Even Li Wenyuan felt a little unbelievable.

Not to mention anything else, although the guardian of this city, General Xiao Kunxiao, has always been guarding the border and rarely appears in the city, everyone knows very well that his duty is to resist the invasion of the barbarians and protect the safety of this city.

And the prefect, as Xiao Kun arranged to protect the people in the city, how could he do such a thing? Once this involves the barbarians, it is a great crime of collusion and betrayal!

Therefore, it is no wonder that even Li Wenyuan is reluctant to believe it.

After all, in his eyes, greed for money and rebellion are two different things.

Even if the prefect does such an unreasonable thing, he is for money after all, but such a person, doesn't he have the final bottom line? I'm afraid no one knows what this means better than the prefect, right?

"No, it's unlikely to ......," Li Wenyuan couldn't help but murmur again.

"Xie thinks it's very likely."

Xie Yu said softly after a long pause.

Li Wenyuan suddenly raised his head and met his eyes.

"Brother Xie, why do you say this? This is a great sin! "Collaborating with the enemy and treason, such a big crime, how can a person like the prefect be willing to take such a risk?

According to Li Wenyuan's understanding of him, this prefect is simply a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is very cowardly, and he can't do such a thing.

In the face of Li Wenyuan's questioning, the expression on Xie Yu's face did not change much, he just spit out a few words lightly.

"Man dies for money, and birds die for food."

As soon as these words came out, Li Wenyuan's brows were twisted together again.

What Xie Yu said is not wrong, the prefect even did the kidnapping of his daughter, if it was really for money, what bottom line could such a person have?

But Li Wenyuan was still a little unacceptable.

"Confused, this is a big deal!" He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

You must know that once this matter comes out, this prefect, let alone losing his official position, may not even be able to save his life!

This prefect is not crazy about money.

Compared with Li Wenyuan's sigh, Xie Yu was much calmer. With the personality of the prefect, it would not be surprising if such a thing was to be done. What's more-

His eyes darkened slightly.

Who knows, when did this prefect begin to collude with these barbarian people?

Maybe it started a long time ago. It's just that now, the prefect is cornered, so he chooses to take this risky move.

It's just a difference between early and late.

"If that's the case, Xie believes that it is necessary to pay more attention to the movements of the prefect recently." Presumably, it won't be long before something happens.

Li Wenyuan nodded solemnly, originally, he wanted to vent a bad breath for his daughter, but now he didn't expect that this prefect would actually do such a thing, the forces involved are different, and the nature has changed.

In the past few days, he must send more men to keep an eye on the spots.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the study, and Li Wenyuan subconsciously glanced at Xie Yu, and then asked, "Who is it?" ”

A clear voice could be heard outside.

"It's me."

After Li Wenyuan heard this, his eyes softened a little.

This voice is not his daughter Li Qinghuan, who is it?

"It's Huan'er, come in."

As he spoke, he glanced at his subordinate, who saluted, turned and went out. When he went out, he happened to run into Li Qinghuan who came in, and he saluted Li Qinghuan again.

"Miss."

Li Qinghuan glanced at him, she knew that this person was her father's secret guard, and he appeared in the room at this moment, probably something......

Li Qinghuan didn't think about it, she raised her head, and was about to speak, when she happened to meet Xie Yu's gaze, she was slightly stunned, and then said, "Gongzi Xie is also there." ”

Xie Yu looked at Li Qinghuan in front of him, who had already had some more flesh on his face after some days of recuperation, and bowed his head slightly.

"Miss Li."

Li Qinghuan remembered the scene of the previous encounter in the garden, and looked away slightly unnaturally. I don't know why, being stared at like this by Xie Yu, she always has a trace of awkwardness in her heart, but this awkwardness doesn't come from nowhere.

Li Wenyuan's eyes roamed between Xie Yu and his daughter, and he keenly smelled a hint of something wrong, so he said very quickly: "Huan'er, then again, you are now in better health, do you have a good thank you for saving your life?" At the beginning, but Gongzi Xie saved you. ”

There was a hint of helplessness in Li Qinghuan's eyes, no, why did her father keep holding on to this matter, he had clearly mentioned it many times before, what's the matter, does she look like that kind of ungrateful person?

"Daddy, Huan'er has naturally thanked Gongzi Xie." Li Qinghuan's face was serious and serious, and there was even a hint of seriousness.

Her attitude was also to tell Xie Yu on the side that she Li Qinghuan was definitely not an ungrateful person, and she would always keep this kindness of saving people in her heart.

Li Wenyuan didn't seem to believe it, and turned his head to look at Xie Yu beside him.

"Gongzi Xie, is this true?"

Li Qinghuan: ......

Dad, are you my own father? How can a father not believe in his daughter?

Xie Yu bowed slightly.

"Miss Li has indeed expressed her gratitude to Xie."

"I wonder how she expressed it?" Li Wenyuan obviously didn't want to let it go immediately.

Xie Yu seemed to glance at Li Wenyuan with some confusion.

"Naturally, it's verbal." Otherwise, what else?

Li Qinghuan listened to Li Wenyuan's question, and for some reason, there was always a bad premonition in his heart.

Li Wenyuan had already turned his head and looked at his daughter with raised eyebrows.

"Huan'er, it's not that your father said you, as the eldest lady of the Li Mansion, how did your father educate you since you were a child? In the face of kindness, in addition to expressing gratitude, we must also show sincerity. Why don't you invite Gongzi Xie to a meal? ”

Li Qinghuan: ......

No, isn't there less food that Gongzi Xie ate at their house? And the dignified Gongzi Xie is rich!

She seemed to glance at Xie Yu, and remembered the last time he laughed at him for eating too much in the garden, and there was still a trace of resentment in her heart, so Li Qinghuan said seriously: "This matter, Gongzi Xie must not mind." What's more, if Gongzi Xie hasn't eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, how can he look down on the little woman's food? ”

Li Wenyuan looked at Li Qinghuan, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he felt a little hated that iron could not become steel, how could this child, like a stone, not wake up?

He is clearly creating an opportunity for the two to get along, why is this girl not enlightened at all?

Is the point of eating? Of course not!

But here in Li Qinghuan, the focus is really on eating. She and Xie Yu are not familiar with each other, although it is true that he saved himself, but the two really want to eat together, Li Qinghuan always feels weird.

After all, Gongzi Xie is famous, how could he look down on eating with her as a little woman. In this matter, Li Qinghuan will never think very highly of himself. Instead, she made it simple.

What's more, Xie Yu's stay in the Li Mansion was inevitably too long. What's the matter, it's time to go back soon, and when the time comes, where will there be such a thing?

Unexpectedly, Xie Yu himself didn't play his cards according to reason at all.

He glanced at Li Qinghuan and said lightly: "Miss Li's words are wrong, Miss Li can invite Xie to dinner, this is really Xie Mou's honor, how can Xie Mou not look down on it?" Miss Li was overwhelmed. ”

Li Qinghuan: ......

What does this mean, dare to really want her to invite to dinner?

When Li Wenyuan heard this, he stroked his palms and laughed: "Brother Xie is worthy of Brother Xie, he is a decent person, Huan'er, you have to thank this Gongzi Xie, if it weren't for him, how could you stand here peacefully now?" ”

Li Qinghuan was silent again.

Well, she knew that she could stand here because of the blessing of Gongzi Xie. But don't stress it all the time!
