"Me?" Lu Li became more and more puzzled.

Wei Xiuyuan sighed with some hatred, sat casually beside Lu Li, lowered his voice again, and told the other party his speculation: "Have you forgotten what you did before?" O General! A general who leads troops to war! ”

"Isn't it suspicious that the Canglan Kingdom sent an envoy to Beijing for the first time, and threw a problem that is difficult for His Majesty to solve in a short period of time, while the emperor was worried about the affairs of the relatives, they began to secretly investigate the general's wife, isn't this suspicious?"

Looking at Wei Xiuyuan's serious appearance, Lu Li frowned and said, "But now that I am no longer in the imperial court, and the name of the general is gone, what are they investigating me for?" ”

"How do you... Why is it just impenetrable! Wei Xiuyuan jumped up angrily and complained with a bitter face: "Aren't you usually a very clever person?" In the past, I have said it so many times today, and I have repeatedly hinted at you, why don't you understand?! ”

Lu Li suddenly laughed when he heard this, "Do you want to say that Canglan intends to attack Donglan?" ”

Wei Xiuyuan was stunned, and reacted in hindsight: "You know what I'm talking about." ”

But soon, he came back to his senses and angrily hammered Lu Li's shoulder, "You know what I'm talking about, but you still pretend to be deaf and dumb here, it's really hateful!" Is it that fun to play me?! ”

"It's fun." Lu Li looked up at the other party and said very seriously and truthfully, as if he wanted to blow Wei Xiuyuan's anger even stronger.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about this yet." Wei Xiuyuan was used to being teased, and he was used to it, so he didn't bother to theorize, he asked Lu Li, very seriously: "Let me ask you, do you know what they investigated Xiaoman for?" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Li couldn't help frowning, he leaned back in the chair and looked sideways into the distance, a little sad between his eyebrows, "I don't know." ”

Without waiting for Wei Xiuyuan to speak, he said again: "But I think they should have their own plans, and this plan should have nothing to do with me." ”

"Why? Even if it has nothing to do with you, why would they investigate Xiaoman? Wei Xiuyuan asked.

If it weren't for the fact that he had a few good friends in the court who were responsible for receiving Canglan Guo and the others, and thus heard their private exchanges, I am afraid that he Wei Xiuyuan would not know now that these Canglan people were secretly investigating Xiao Man.

According to his understanding, these people must be doing something shady and shady, otherwise why would they investigate secretly? Xiaoman is not a character who cannot be talked about, if they have the heart to understand, they can inquire openly, why do these sneaky acts?

"The new emperor of Canglan Country succeeded to the throne, under his policy, Canglan Country has indeed become a lot richer in recent years, but if you want to confront Donglan, it is still beyond your own power to be a mantis arm." Lu Li calmly analyzed: "What's more, the new monarch of Canglan Country doesn't like to fight, and he really wants to ask for peace when he sends envoys and proposes peace this time." ”

"Then why are they ......" After listening to the other party's analysis, Wei Xiuyuan was even more puzzled.

If you don't want to provoke a war, then why do such a thing to misunderstand?

Speaking of this, Lu Li shook his head, "I don't know about this. ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiuyuan was about to speak, when Xiao Man's laughter suddenly came from outside, he hurriedly shut up, turned around and returned to his place, pretending that nothing had happened.

And Lu Li got up and walked to the door to greet him, with a somewhat doting smile on the corner of his mouth, "The game is over?" ”

"It's over!" Xiaoman walked in with great interest, with joy on the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and his steps were brisk.

Seeing this, Lu Li knew that the opponent would definitely have a smooth game, and he was confident enough to ensure that he could be promoted to the next game, otherwise it would not be so easy and happy.

Wei Xiuyuan, who was on the side, also stepped forward and teased casually: "Xiaoman, if you win the top spot this time, do you want to invite us to dinner?" You know, during your competition, Wanrou and I, as well as Lu Li, as your most solid arms and backing, put in a lot of hard work and bitterness, if you don't treat us, it won't be reasonable. ”

Xiao Man laughed vigorously after hearing this, and Lu Li patted the other party's shoulder funny, and said angrily: "What effort have you put in, and you are embarrassed to let us treat you?" Think beautifully. ”

"Hey, hey, Lu Li, I'm standing on the same line as you!" Wei Xiuyuan pretended to be innocent and pouted aggrievedly.

"Shh Lu Li turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

Looking at the two of them teasing each other, Xiao Man giggled happily on the side, she held Lu Li's hand, leaned slightly on each other's shoulders, and felt inexplicably more settled.

And Lu Li and Wei Xiuyuan both tacitly did not mention that the Canglan people secretly investigated Xiaoman's affairs, and used this gag to cover up the past, Lu Xianyuan thought: Although Wei Xiuyuan likes to ridicule and joke, he has always maintained a high degree of consistency with himself in this kind of thing. The reason why I was able to become friends with him was not unreasonable.

However, if you don't mention it, it doesn't mean that Lu Li doesn't pay attention to it. After the two had lunch, Lu Li casually found an excuse to take Xiao Man to the Wei Mansion, Xiao Man went to Xia Wanrou by himself, and he took Wei Xiu to the study directly.

"I knew you couldn't worry about it." Wei Xiuyuan poured tea for Lu Li, and said with a bit of pride on his face.

What do friends really care about and care about, except for Xiaoman, the only person who knows Lu Li most clearly is Wei Xiuyuan.

The tea leaves slowly stretched out in the heat, revealing their most primitive appearance, and the azure teacups were bubbling with steam, adding a bit of smoke to the study room full of heavy books.

Lu Li picked up the teacup and took a sip absentmindedly, "Where did you hear about this, and how did he know that Canglan Kingdom was secretly investigating this matter?" ”

As soon as he talked about business, Wei Xiuyuan smiled and said solemnly: "Actually, I also learned about it by chance, and it was Mao Zhiyuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who entertained the envoys of Canglan, who told me about this matter, he is my father-in-law's protégé, and I went to visit my father-in-law today, and I happened to meet him." He knew I had a good relationship with you, so he told me. ”

Mao Zhiyuan is Xia Wanrou's father's protégé, he has been doing his duty in the Ministry of Rites all these years, and he is very down-to-earth, and his family and the Xia family also have some kinship, it stands to reason that he should not deliberately make up such a thing to provoke the relationship.

Wei Xiuyuan also thought of this, so he believed it a little, and then told Lu Li.

However, seeing that Lu Li lowered his head and was silent after listening, Wei Xiuyuan was a little anxious, and couldn't help asking: "Lu Li, how are you going to deal with this matter?" Or do we have to observe and see if what Mao Zhiyuan said is true? ”

"It doesn't have to be." Lu Li waved his hand, but after he said this, he fell silent again, and the two sword eyebrows were twisted together, it seemed that this matter did make him a little difficult.

"Hey! In fact, according to my thoughts, if this happens to me, then I will go directly to the post house! With that, Wei Xiuyuan returned to the chair, leaned on the back of the chair and lifted Erlang's legs uninhibitedly, and said, "Anyway, they made mistakes first, and this is in Donglan!" Donglan is our territory, does he dare to quibble? ”

Speaking of this, Lu Li finally raised his head and glanced at him, Wei Xiuyuan thought that he had said what the other party was thinking, but he didn't want Lu Li to stare at him for a long time, and he said: "Martial arts thoughts!" Simple-minded! ”

With this sentence alone, Wei Xiuyuan stood up, and he pointed at Lu Li with two fingers together, "Are you a martial artist?!" And you look forward and backward, afraid of wolves and tigers, I still want to say that you are a literati! ”

Lu Li was not annoyed after hearing this, but said seriously: "Has Mao Zhiyuan been receiving envoys recently? ”

At first glance, Wei Xiuyuan was also stunned, he thought about it and hesitated: "Probably... Maybe, what's wrong? Are you going to go to him and ask him personally? ”

"Hmm." Lu Li nodded, "This kind of thing, the words relayed can't be said clearly, I still want to talk to him in person, of course, it would be better if I could meet the envoy of Canglan." ”

Wei Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this, "Didn't you just say that I was a martial artist with a simple mind, what's the matter?" Wouldn't you still have to adopt my method now and talk to that envoy face to face? ”

Seeing that Lu Li didn't speak, Wei Xiuyuan got up and said: "However, that Canglan envoy has a shrewd look, it doesn't look like a good stubble, if the two of us go together, we may not be able to fight him, do you really have confidence that you can make him confide the truth?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.

Wei Xiuyuan immediately glanced at Lu Li, his expression was nervous, his mouth was tightly closed, and he looked like he had said the wrong thing. He gestured with his eyes and asked Lu Li what to do now?

Lu Lizhen was still calm, and he coughed lightly, "Come in." ”

"Squeak-"

The door of the study was opened, and Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou walked in side by side, both of them with smiles on their faces, as if they hadn't heard their conversation.

Wei Xiuyuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly heard Xiao Man say, "Brother Wei, were you talking about the affairs of the envoys just now?" ”

"Huh?" The maintenance eyes were stunned, and he turned his eyes to Lu Li for help.

Lu Li pursed his lips, not knowing how to answer for a short time.

But Xiaoman didn't seem to want to wait for them to respond, she poured herself a cup of tea and said: "I went to Jiangfu before, and I happened to meet a Canglan countryman, it is said that he seems to have gone to talk to Lord Jiang about cooperation, I don't know if you know about this matter?" ”

As she spoke, she looked at Wei Xiuyuan, "Brother Wei, you go in and out of the palace every day, do you know about this?" ”

"Well...... When it comes to the palace, Lu leaves more often than I go during this time. Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly threw this hot potato to Lu Li, and hinted at the other party while frowning: "You said yes, right?" Lu Li? ”
