The vast city, the capital of the northern country, is covered with snow all year round, so it is also known as the "White City".

The snow falls on the third street, and the north wind blows the eight lanes.

These three streets and eight alleys are the residences of the important ministers of the northern kingdom.

A horse-drawn carriage passed through the alley, leaving long trails in the snow.

It stopped at the gate of Liu's mansion, and an old man got out of the car.

The old man was dressed plainly but had a noble aura, and the doorman recognized the old man at once.

"Master Lu, I'll go in and report it."

How dare the doorman slack off, this old man is the prime minister of Lu Renlu, a high-ranking official in the court, and he is also a friend of his own master.

"No need, I'll just go in." Lu Ren said.

"This ......"

The doorman looked embarrassed, did he dare to let people in without the master's permission?

"Any questions?" Lu Ren said.

"No, no, of course."

was asked by Prime Minister Lu Cheng, the doorman hurriedly shook his head, since they are friends, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Then lead the way."

……

Liu Qishan drank the tea made by the next person while leisurely admiring the birds, as the prime minister, he was forced to recuperate at home and not participate in the government, although it is said that he was on leave due to illness, but those people in the hall can see it clearly, who will not make a few sentences behind his back? This is a great insult to him.

But he kept comforting himself, telling himself that it was much easier for him to let go of the burdens and responsibilities of these countries.

In fact, these days are the most restful days he has slept since he became an official.

Knock knock.

The servant came in a hurry, and his steps seemed to startle the birds.

"What's wrong? So frizzy. Liu Qishan asked while soothing the birds.

"Master, Lord Lu is here."

"Just say I'm not available, tell him to get out." Liu Qishan actually burst out directly.

"Yes...... Lord Koru, he ...... He's already in. The subordinate said with a wince.

"Who let him in! Get him out! Liu Qishan was furious all of a sudden.

"Kick me out? Lao Liu, are you throwing fire on me? Lu Ren's voice came from the hallway.

Liu Qishan immediately stood up and rushed out, Lu Ren stood outside the door of the house, and the two looked at each other, and Liu Qishan pointed at Lu Ren's nose.

"You dog thief dare to appear in front of me? Ye Futian killed his father and usurped the throne, you are in the same stream with those dogs and things and pretend not to see it? When did you become Ye Futian's dog, do you still have a moral law in your heart? Is there still a principle for being an official? Liu Qishan scolded angrily.

"Lao Liu, you still have a lot of fire." Lu Ren said helplessly.

"A respectable old minister? Bah. Liu Qishan looked like he was eager to eat Lu Ren.

"I'm here today to talk to you about this." Lu Ren said.

"Talk about a fart, get the fuck off me, or I'll go into the house and get a knife right away." Liu Qishan didn't give a chance at all.

"Alas, Lao Liu, you have been the prime minister for so many years, why are you still so impatient." Lu Ren shook his head and said.

"Don't go yet, do you, okay......"

Liu Qishan turned around and entered the house, pulled out the sword hanging on the wall with one hand, and then slashed at Lu Ren with the sword.

"Don't, sir."

The subordinate hurriedly stopped him, but he was frightened by Lu Ren's behavior, he thought that the old man was just scaring Prime Minister Lu, but he didn't expect the old man to dare to cut it, this is a murder of the imperial court official.

"Get out of the way, don't stop me, today I will clear the national cancer entrenched in the imperial court for the northern country." Liu Qishan was an old man after all, and his subordinates still stopped him.

"Lao Liu......" Lu Ren was not afraid, he said lightly: "Lao Liu, all this is the meaning of the second prince. ”

"Second prince? Ye Lingyun you say? What do you mean, didn't he leave the imperial city a long time ago. Liu Qishan was stunned.

"Can we talk about it now?"

“…… Sit down. ”

Liu Qishan stopped the blade in his hand, and the two sat down opposite each other.

"Make your words clear, what do you mean by the second prince?" Liu Qishan asked.

Lu Ren didn't answer, but squinted at the subordinate standing aside, and Liu Qishan naturally understood what he meant.

"Mingfu, you step down first."

“…… Yes, sir. ”

This subordinate is still a little worried, what if the old man suddenly goes crazy again and wants to cut Prime Minister Lu?

"I'll be on standby in the garden outside, and if you need anything, you can call me."

The next man's words are more like what he said to Lu Ren.

After the next person left, Liu Qishan continued: "Can you say it now? ”

"That day, not everyone in the court was Ye Futian's person, I secretly investigated afterwards, and a large part of the people chose to remain silent because they were afraid, after all, the prince controlled more than half of the military power in the northern country, and no one wanted to be this up-and-coming bird at that time, of course, you bad old man is an exception." Lu Ren said.

"So you're the one who's scared too?" Liu Qishan said.

"No, of course not, just like you, I'm also a bad old man, I've lived for so long, do you think I'm afraid of death? Presumably Ye Pantian himself was also surprised why I chose to be silent, in fact, all this is what Ling Yun meant, Ling Yun hopes that Ye Pantian can sit on the throne. ”

"Why? Wasn't Ye Lingyun forced to leave the imperial city by the crown prince at the beginning? Why help him now? Liu Qishan was puzzled.

"Of course this is not helping him, the prince has a lot of supporters in the imperial court, he has strong power, and he is absolutely unable to compete with normal methods, Ling Yun chose to temporarily back down, he was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to get rid of Ye Pantian, besides, Ling Yun has never really left the Vast City, he has been secretly planning and planning, one day he will come back, he has his own plan."

"Then where is Ye Lingyun now?"

"I can't tell you that, you're not one of our people yet."

"Yes...... So what are you coming to me for today? I guess it's not just to explain this to me. ”

"I came to you today for two purposes, the first is to talk to you about a cooperation."

"What cooperation?"

"Come with your ears."

Liu Qishan possessed him, and Lu Ren explained in his ear.

……

"This ...... What's the point? Liu Qishan wondered.

"You just have to do what I say, Ling Yun is a peerless genius, how can you understand his foresight."

“…… Okay, then I'll help you this time, now that your first purpose has been achieved, what about your second purpose? Liu Qishan suddenly asked.

"Second purpose......"

Speaking of this, Lu Ren stood up.

"What's wrong? Let's just say it, we're old friends. Liu Qishan looked at Lu Ren strangely.

"My second purpose is simple...... Just wanted to come and see my old friend. ”

Lu Ren waved his hand and walked out of the room.

“…… Old friend. ”

Liu Qishan showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
