Guiyan frowned, she is now nominally Lu Jingzhi's person, and she agreed to Ye Liancheng without saying hello, and she had to be coaxed when she went back

Lu Jingzhi, he was angry when he looked like that today.

However, Shuanghua is really important to her or to Xia Qingyan.

If it's such an important thing, how can you not get it back?

Although there is no important content in the memory of Shuanghua now, the throbbing that erupted in the chest at that moment when he saw this sword was enough to explain its importance.

While thinking about it, someone knocked softly on the door, "Guiyan girl, the master called you out to have dinner with him." ”

Guiyan frowned and refused directly, "If you are unwell, don't go." ”

Outside, there was the sound of the man's departing footsteps, and then there was no movement for a moment.

Guiyan thought that it was probably Ye Liancheng who was dismissed by her, so he didn't bother to deal with her.

But unexpectedly, after a while, Ye Liancheng's magnetic voice came from outside.

"Why are you uncomfortable? I've got a doctor for you. If you don't come out, I'll slam the door and go in!" The latter sentence carries a deep threat.

it!

Guiyan frowned, his expression was a little ugly, and he got up and opened the door.

Sure enough, there was only Ye Liancheng outside the door, and there was no so-called doctor.

"I don't want to go, I can't eat." Guiyan frowned.

"Whatever the guest wants, if you don't eat, you can watch me eat." Ye Liancheng was noncommittal to her words.

Guiyan rolled his eyes silently.

Eventually, the two of them made it to the main hall.

On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are more than a dozen exquisite dishes, six hot dishes, two soups, and four cold dishes and two pastries.

Guiyan sat on the chair and pouted, it was really extravagant.

With so many dishes, can you finish it?

He is the city lord, and Lu Jingzhi is still the prime minister, much more low-key than him.

"You usually eat alone, and you eat so much?" Guiyan looked at Ye Liancheng, who drank the appetizing soup first, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He didn't care about Guiyan looking at him, and drank the soup quietly, barely making any sound.

Guiyan looked at him with some surprise in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Ye Liancheng, who looked fierce to death, had such good dining etiquette, and he ate elegantly and cleanly.

After drinking the small half bowl of pearl lotus powder soup, Liancheng wiped his mouth and looked at Guiyan, "Guiyan girl really doesn't eat it?"

"No, ......" suddenly thought of something, Gui Yan's eyes rolled, and he immediately changed his words, "Of course I want to eat!" ”

As she spoke, she wiped her hands with a handkerchief, then stood up and tore off one of the thighs of the roast chicken, sat down and took it and gnawed it.

Not only does it make an annoying "snapping" sound, but it also says a few words from time to time that it's delicious.

The subordinate of the cloth next to him couldn't bear to look at it directly.

"Heh~" Ye Liancheng probably knew what bad idea she had, but he just wanted to disgust him.

He didn't pay attention to her, but his eyes were slightly mocking.

Guiyan didn't see it, and after eating the chicken thighs, he didn't wipe his greasy hands, so he directly took a porcelain spoon to serve the soup.

Then he went to pick up the chopsticks and pick up the vegetables, but he wanted to eat the plate of small round cakes farthest away from him, and dragged his sleeves to other dishes without lifting them.

For a while, the Eight Immortals were miserable on the table.

Ye Liancheng put down his chopsticks, his face was expressionless, and he was a little angry when he thought about it.

"You've got enough of the smoke!" He said in a deep voice.

He admits that she has achieved her goal, and the success has disgusted him!

Of course not enough!

Guiyan smiled in his heart, but he made a sad look of being hurt on his face, and covered his heart with Xizi, "City Lord Ye, how can you say that?" ”

"I'm a man in the rivers and lakes, it's always been like this, if you can't get used to it, don't call me to eat together." Guiyan said loudly, and there was a greasy circle around his mouth.

"You are doing the same next to Lu Jingzhi?" Ye Liancheng had a calm face, and a pair of eyes stared at Guiyan.

Inexplicably, he was a little weak-hearted, but Guiyan didn't want to lose this game, so he stiffened his neck, "Naturally, Lu Gongzi won't be angry," his brain smoked, and suddenly added, "He will also help me wipe my hands and mouth." ”

Ye Liancheng looked at her and sneered, his eyes sharp, "Okay, it's very good, Prime Minister Lu of Chu State has such good patience, then I can't lose to him." ”

The palms of the hands are spread flat, and the person next to them neatly puts a handkerchief.

The veil was white, and it seemed that his hands were knuckled and very powerful.

"Come here, I'll wipe it for you." Ye Liancheng looked at Guiyan.

Guiyan looked at Ye Liancheng dumbfounded, he really didn't expect him to do this.

It's terrible that someone with that posture just now can put up with her.

However, she is not so easy to deal with, "I haven't eaten yet." ”

"Then you continue to eat, and I'll help you wipe it when you're full."

Ye Liancheng sat on the Taishi's chair and did not move.

Guiyan calmed down and continued to make trouble and eat and drink, I have to say that the food in this city lord's mansion is really good.

The vinegar fish in front of me is tender and fatty, melts in the mouth, and is very fragrant.

She took the fish meat with chopsticks and put it in Ye Liancheng's bowl, and looked at him with a smile, "You can eat it too." ”

Ye Liancheng looked at her and just sneered.

Guiyan ignored him anymore, he had almost eaten, and was about to make a final mess, when his mind was dizzy and his eyes were confused.

The last picture in front of him was Ye Liancheng standing up, wiping his hands with the handkerchief in his hand, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth.

……

In the Lu Mansion, the study room is brightly lit. Lu Jingzhi was writing a pair of words.

On the snow-white rice paper, the dragon was shocked, dancing, the pen blade oozed out, and the paper was punctured.

Jing Si stood next to him grinding ink, not feeling a taste in his heart.

Since the master came back from the city lord's mansion, he has been practicing calligraphy and has not eaten.

Following him for so long, Jing Si knew that the master was not happy in his heart and was venting.

As for the reason, Jing Si thought of Guiyan who held the sword and didn't let go, and he was angry.

It's just for a sword, she abandoned her master, could it be that the affection for such a long time is not as good as a sword.

made the master so angry, so that he hadn't eaten until now.

The baby's heart is bitter!

"Jing Si, you go down." Lu Jingzhi suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Jing Si didn't react, "Master, my subordinates are with you." ”

The master must have thought I was too tired and asked me to rest.

"Then you stand far away and block out the light." Lu Jingzhi said directly.

It turned out that the lights were also placed on Jing Si's side, and when Jing Si was grinding ink, his arm moved, and the lights flashed, and Lu Jingzhi, who was disturbed, couldn't feel at ease.

Jing Si's little heart was cold, and he silently let go and took a few steps back.

"Master, go eat something!" Jing Si was worried, and his face was sad.

"It's okay, by the way, did you do what you were asked to do before?" Lu Jingzhi finally stopped and put the pen on the shelf.

"It's already done, the poisoning at the last banquet was done by the vice city advocate, and the evidence has been found," Jing Si paused, his tone a little more serious, "And the person who sent it said that he seemed to have found a lot of good things in the secret compartment of his study." ”

Lu Jingzhi pinched his fingers to relax his muscles, carelessly, "For example?"

The corners of Jing Zhi's mouth curled, "For example, the privately engraved seal of the city lord." ”

"Shadow Twelve tried it on paper, and said that the printed words were no different from the real ones." Shadow 12 is best at the affairs of the mechanism, and can shrink the bones, the body is dexterous, and it is a good hand at stealing information.

"In that case, we have to say hello to Ye Liancheng." Lu Jingzhi said slowly.

Jing Si was stunned, "Why?" Master, shouldn't we use this opportunity to make Ye Liancheng suffer? "After all, he dug the foot of the wall in front of you today, and he dug it successfully!

Of course, he didn't say it.

The evening wind blew into the study, and the lamp that was covered was also a little swaying, casting a dark shadow on Lu Jingzhi's warm and jade-like face.

He walked to the side of the bed, looked at the bright moon hidden in the clouds, and said in a calm voice, "Zhang Sheng is narrow-minded and incapable, but his heart is higher than the sky, he is not suitable to be the city lord." ”

"What about Ye Liancheng? He's against us at every turn. ”

"Jing Si!" Lu Jingzhi's tone was slightly angry, "Take a long-term view." ”

"The Devil City has a lot of wealth, coupled with the prosperity of trade and trade, after Ye Liancheng became the lord of the city, he opened the door of trade, and there were a lot of transactions with the Chu State, one-third of the merchants in the Devil City were from the Chu State, even if it was Liang Chunhua, the emperor of the Three Kingdoms, he was actually from the Chu State"

"If Zhang Sheng becomes the lord of the city, according to his temperament, he will definitely raise trade taxes and seek more benefits for himself, how should commerce develop at that time, and what should the merchants of Chu State do? Have you ever thought about this? ”

"......" Jing Si's eyes widened in surprise, he didn't expect this layer at all, and he was speechless.

After a while, he bowed his head, "It's the subordinates who are narrow-minded." ”

Lu Jingzhi nodded, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was unfathomable, "I can't move Ye Liancheng, and I can move the Zhang family." ”

"And after cleaning up the Zhang family, Ye Liancheng can be regarded as losing an arm."

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and the housekeeper knocked on the door of the study, "Master, there is a girl outside, claiming to be Miss Zhang, and she has to look for you." ”

Lu Jingzhi turned his head and glanced at Jing Si, who shook his head silently.

He doesn't know, it has nothing to do with him.

Jing Si went over and opened the door, and the housekeeper came in and handed a metal ring in his hand to Lu Jingzhi, "That girl said that you will understand when you see this." ”

Jing Si looked at that thing, and his face turned cold.

Lu Jingzhi looked at the words carved on the inside of the ring, and it was indeed twelve.

"It seems that this girl is also capable." Lu Jingzhi chuckled, but there was no smile in his good-looking eyes.

"Butler, let's invite someone into the front hall first!" Lu Jingzhi's tone was light.

After the housekeeper went down, Lu Jingzhi handed the ring to Jing Si, "Visit Zhang's Mansion at night and rescue Xiao Twelve, you can go." ”

The ring is the mark of the shadows, and when a qualified shadow appears, it will give them a ring engraved with their order, representing their identity.

The ring has a feature that it is difficult to take off when you put it on, unless the person's finger is cut off.

This is also the reason why Jing Si's complexion was not good just now.
