Wei Xiuyuan immediately decided, "Wanrou, you go to Xiaoman's house, I'll go back to deal with Xiaoman's affairs, you don't have to wait for me." ”

"That'...... Then be careful! ”

Xia Wanrou looked at Wei Xiu's distant back, very worried, now Wei Xiu is far from having an official position, and he is here to be ordered to do other things, what if those corrupt officials mess around?

Worry is worry, she knows that going with her will not help much, but may cause chaos, so Xia Wanrou can only go to Xiaoman's house with a worry.

Seeing that her expression was depressed, Wei Xiuyuan didn't follow, Lu Li frowned and asked, "What happened, why didn't Xiuyuan come?" ”

Xia Wanrou was absent-minded: "Xiuyuan still has something to do, it may be a little late, he let us not have to wait for him." ”

"What's the matter?" Lu Li asked.

Xia Wanrou paused, then shook her head and didn't speak.

The matter has not yet been decided, and besides, she also knows nothing about it, saying it now will only make everyone more panicked, so it is better to wait for Wei Xiuyuan to come back and tell everyone in detail.

She refused to say, Lu Li knew that no matter how much he asked the other party, he would not speak, he frowned anxiously, and thousands of possibilities flashed in his heart.

Wei Xiuyuan has always attached great importance to love and righteousness, and he will never miss an appointment for no reason, and then looking at Xia Wanrou's worried appearance, Lu Xianzhong became more and more worried, what happened to Wei Xiuyuan?

Xiao Man didn't know what was going on, and when she came out of the firewood room, she looked at the two of them frowning, and couldn't help but lighten her steps, and asked in a low voice, "Lu Li, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, you..." Lu Li paused, and then sighed helplessly, "Xiuyuan encountered something and didn't come." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't help but look at Xia Wanrou, she was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, her face worried, completely lost her previous leisure and gentleness.

She wanted to step forward to persuade her, but was stopped by Lu Li, the man leaned over and said in a low voice, "It's okay, you go cook first." ”

Xiao Man wanted to argue, but Lu Li pressed her arm, so she had to give up and turn around and go back to the firewood room.

Also, she didn't know much about Wei Xiuyuan and Mrs. Wei, even if she knew what was going on, she couldn't help at all, so she could only worry blindly.

She couldn't help but sigh, lifted the lid of the pot to look at the steaming pork rib soup, and stirred it absentmindedly.

"Lu Li!"

Wei Xiuyuan's voice suddenly came from outside the house, Xiao Man hurriedly put down the lid of the pot and ran out in a hurry, just looking at Xia Wanrou and Wei Xiuyuan hugging each other, she couldn't help but blush.

Xiao Man ran to Lu Li's side with small steps, blinking at Wei Xiuyuan with big eyes, so that he could see what the other party was doing.

Lu Li also looked puzzled, and before they could ask, Wei Xiuyuan took the initiative to tell Fang Cai's story.

When he chased back in the footsteps of Li Shu's father and daughter, the county order had already arrived at Yamen, and was about to bring people to Bishui Village to arrest people, but fortunately, Zhang Yuan heard their conversation the night before, so Wei Xiuyuan effortlessly found the embezzled silver taels in the study of the county commander's house.

Although the county commander and the county official have been corrupt for many years, they have never been caught, not to mention that Wei Xiuyuan is still an official from the capital, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have anything to prove his identity, just the waist card of the imperial guard shown by Zhang Yuan has already scared the two of them, let alone making waves again.

"Then what to do next?" Lu Li asked in a deep voice.

Wei Xiuyuan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Naturally, it will be handed over to the prefect above for investigation, and then a new person will be transferred to take up the post." ”

After hearing all this, Xiao Man breathed a sigh of relief, and then saluted Wei Xiuyuan, "Thank you Brother Wei for saving your life, I can't repay it." ”

"Hey, you are my brother and sister, you should save you, and you are also wronged, I can be regarded as upholding justice at most." Wei Xiu waved his hand indifferently.

Hearing this, Lu Li snorted coldly, "Yes, you are a person sent by the imperial court, and you are just presiding over justice." ”

After speaking, he took Xiao Man's hand and walked towards the firewood room without saying a word, looking like he was angry.

Wei Xiuyuan suddenly felt that he was speechless, and he was quick to talk for a while, and he actually told the matter that there were imperial guards around him, now it's okay, the lie he just told yesterday was exposed by himself today.

What is it to come to seclusion and escape the world, which reclusive person will be protected by the imperial guards sent by the emperor? Wei Xiuyuan shook his head regretfully and sighed secretly.

Xia Wanrou on the side was puzzled when she saw this: "Xiuyuan, what if he knows, you have to tell the truth anyway." ”

Didn't they come this time to invite Lu Li back to the temple? Say it early and persuade it early, so that Lu Li can return to the capital as soon as possible.

"But I just lied to him yesterday, saying that we are tired of the court and have come here to live in seclusion." Wei Xiuyuan regretted.

"Huh?" For a while, Xia Wanrou had no choice.

In the firewood room, Su Xiaoman looked at Lu Li cautiously and said cautiously: "Are you angry?" ”

She has been covered by clouds and mountains in the fog for the past two days, what are they discussing, Xiaoman doesn't understand at all, and now Wei Xiuyuan has rescued himself, why did Lu Li get angry for no reason?

"No, I'm not mad at you, don't think about it." Lu Li rubbed the woman's hair and comforted softly.

Xiao Man bit his lip, "But you just -"

Lu Li sighed, leaned over and looked into her eyes and explained to her seriously: "Xiaoman, I don't want to talk about my past, let alone go back to the past, Wei Xiuyuan is my friend, but if he came for another purpose this time, and he deliberately lied to me, I should naturally let him know my temper." ”

As for what Wei Xiuyuan came here for, Lu Li could also guess it.

But the matter of Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou can't be planned by him, right? After all, the encounter between Xiaoman and Xia Wanrou was just an accident, and it couldn't be deliberately done at all.

Besides, if this matter was really planned by Wei Xiuyuan, then Lu Li would definitely repair him.

"Lu Li." Wei Xiuyuan didn't know when he arrived at the door of the firewood room, he looked at Lu Li dryly, "Aren't you going to ask me something?" ”

Lu Liquan didn't hear it.

Seeing this, Wei Xiuyuan continued to ask, "Lu Li, do you know what I came to you for this time?" Or did you see through my lies yesterday, but you never punctured me? ”

The man still didn't answer, Xiao Man's eyes flowed between the two, but she still didn't see the reason, she couldn't help but be a little frustrated, so she had to lower her head and concentrate on burning the fire.

"Lu Li, are you going to keep pretending to be dumb? You know, I'm here as a guest, and I'm the one who saved Xiaoman, so if you don't thank you, forget it, and put on a face? Wei Xiuyuan muttered cheekily.

Speaking of this, Xiao Man couldn't help but quietly tugged Lu Li's sleeve and persuaded in a low voice: "Lu Li, no matter how much dislike there is between you, you shouldn't treat my savior like this, he is kind to me after all." ”

Moreover, Lu Li was silent like this, and Wei Xiuyuan was not able to mumble at the door vigorously, Xiao Man always felt a little embarrassed.

Lu Li, who had been silent for a long time, sighed, threw the wooden stick in his hand into the stove, got up and looked at the door, and said coldly: "If there is anything, go to the house and talk about it." ”

Seeing that he was finally relieved, Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly smiled: "Okay, good!" ”

The two went to the house, Wei Xiuyuan covered the door and sat down, and then poured a cup of tea, "I was wrong yesterday, I drank a cup of tea instead of wine, and I should make amends." ”

After speaking, he raised his head and poured it down, and then showed Lu Li the dry teacup.

Lu Li snorted lightly, "Replace wine with tea, you can figure it out, our family is not without wine, why do you need to replace wine with tea." ”

"Then I'll punish myself later, okay?" Wei Xiuyuan put down the teacup, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, put away Fang Cai's joking appearance, and said very seriously: "Lu Li, do you know that the barbarian tribe in the north has a new leader. ”

"What does that have to do with me?" Lu Li lowered his eyes, and his casual appearance seemed to really not care about it.

Seeing this, Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly broke the man's shoulder, "Lu Li!" Their new leader is extremely ambitious and skillful, and in the year since he took office, the borders of our country have been invaded several times, and the next time he will attack directly! In this way, are you still going to stay in this remote village? ”

"This county is called Taoyuan, do you really think that this is a Taoyuan that does not need to be mixed with world affairs? If the barbarians attack, the first thing to suffer is this Taoyuan County! You have a lot of skills, and you are proficient in tactics, and it was you who fought off the old leader of the barbarians many years ago, in exchange for decades of peace, Lu Li, with your skills, it is more than enough to deal with that barbarian leader! ”

He was ordered to let Lu Li return to the temple, so that he could charge into battle again and kill the enemy, and if it wasn't for the fact that he really couldn't find someone who could fight this time, Wei Xiuyuan would not come to disturb his friend's escape from the world.

Compared with Wei Xiuyuan's anxious appearance, Lu Li was always indifferent, as if what the other party said had nothing to do with him.

Charge into battle, go into battle to kill the enemy, and the horses roar......

Those things were too far away from him, and those memories were like those from his previous life, Lu Li lowered his eyes and didn't say half a word.

Wei Xiuyuan tightened his brows, "Lu Li, are you really not going to go out of the mountain?" ”

"Xiuyuan." Lu Li suddenly spoke, he raised his eyes to look at Wei Xiuyuan, his eyes were calm, "I told you a long time ago, I am tired of the court's deceit, and I am tired of those people's suspicion of military generals. In the peaceful and prosperous world, I was the target of everyone's targeting and humiliation, and they didn't think of me until someone invaded, so what am I? ”

Wei Xiuyuan was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

There was silence in the room, and the atmosphere was eeriely oppressive, and at this moment, there was a loud "clang" outside the closed door, as if something had suddenly fallen to the ground.

Lu Li's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly got up and rushed out of the door, but saw Su Xiaoman staring at him in surprise, and his lips murmured: "You, you are a general?" ”
