Dressed in tight-fitting sleeved black clothes, his handsome and elegant demeanor has not diminished, but there is a trace of elegance missing.

In the past two days, he has also been investigating the whereabouts of the group of water thieves, but they seem to have disappeared in vain, which makes him very frustrated. Before this, he also felt that Jiufeng Village was powerful, and it was not until after the accident that he realized that he was entrenched in the mountains, like sitting in a well and watching the sky.

Today, he sincerely came to surrender, in order to kill all those water thieves and avenge Tianjin. As soon as he thought of Tianjin's tragic death, the murderous aura on his body could no longer be hidden.

Hearing a steady footstep behind him, Liu Yu adjusted slightly, and when he turned around, the murderous aura was gone.

Xie Yan stepped back left and right and strode over. His black eyes were sharp under his slanted sword eyebrows, and his thin lips kept pursing lightly. The slanting sun shone down from the eaves of the promenade and shone on his slender and powerful legs, striding into the wind.

Behind Liu Yu is a carved railing, and under the railing is a mahogany bench, on which is a low table, and above the table is an unfinished chess game.

The environment here is elegant, and the promenade is surrounded by tall evergreen trees, which can provide shade from the sun and rain, and it is best to sit and enjoy the cool here.

"Liu Gongzi is really good at finding a place."

Liu Yu's tense face relaxed slightly, "I am not invited to enter, and I hope that General Xie will bear with me." ”

The corners of Xie Yan's mouth twitched, "Please take a seat." ”

When the words fell, his eyes swept and he found that there was nothing but chess pieces on the low table, and his eyes couldn't help but sink.

"Come on, tea!"

Liu Yu calmly settled down.

This general's mansion was temporarily requisitioned, there were no maids in the mansion, and the people who served Xie Yan on weekdays were all personal guards. Since he is a personal guard, he naturally will not have a good face for Liu Yu.

The long-overdue tea was finally served, and Xie Yan personally took the teacup and handed it over. The two of them avoided such embarrassment.

After the tea moistened his throat, Xie Yan went straight to the point, "I heard that Liu Gongzi came here today to defect?" ”

"Exactly." Liu Yu generously put down the teaglass, "I know that General Xie's Beifu soldiers are still recruiting, as long as General Xie doesn't dislike it, I'm willing to bring the brothers of Jiufeng Zhai to join." ”

Rao is Xie Yan had been prepared, and he was also taken aback by his words.

Although the scale of Jiufeng Village is not large, there are not a few people in the village. Liu Yu can also be called a hegemon, with his protection, the people within a radius of several miles have been safe.

This man is a man of great power, and if he is given enough time, he will be able to expand.

If he was the only one who came to defect, Xie Yan could understand that he was eager for revenge because of Tianjin, and wanted to cooperate with him to find the water thief as much as possible.

But he actually brought the entire Jiufeng Village to defect with him......

Xie Yan had to face it squarely.

He said cautiously: "Liu Gongzi has to think clearly, the Beifu soldiers are regular troops, and if the people of Jiufeng Village defect, they will inevitably be reorganized, and they will ...... when the time comes."

He was halfway through his sentence and paused.

The latter words do not need to be explained, Liu Yu is also very clear.

Jiufengzhai is a small force, he believes that with his own ability, he will definitely be able to expand the scale in the future, and it will inevitably be taboo by the imperial court at that time.

Right now, Xie Yan is guarding Guangling, and the large and small forces here have almost been swept away. The reason why he has not been moved for a long time is just because of the special terrain of Jiuzhai Mountain, which is easy to defend and not easy to attack.

Coupled with the water thief who suddenly appeared again, Xie Yan just couldn't find time to deal with him, not that he didn't want to deal with him.

Both of them are smart people, and they can understand it at one point.

Since Liu Yu took the initiative to surrender, he would naturally think more. It's just that Tianjin's death made him a little disheartened and had no intention of running it again.

He said: "The brothers who were born and died in Jiufeng Village are not born to be cowards, and there are too many homeless people in troubled times. If General Xie can treat everyone equally, they are also willing to come and seek a good future. ”

Xie Yan listened attentively, and finally determined that he came with sincerity.

"As for Zaixia...... Liu Yu smiled bitterly, "Zaixia only wants to avenge Tianjin now, don't think about it." ”

"Okay, that's a deal."

Seeing that he said so cheerfully, Xie Yan no longer talked to him, and nodded directly in response.

Beifu soldiers have indeed been recruiting troops and horses, although he has tried his best to minimize casualties in the battle of Weishui, but the gap is still very large, there will be sacrifices if there is war, which is also a helpless thing.

The summons of the imperial court has been issued, and it will not be long before a new envoy will come to take over Guangling City, and now it is the right time to expand and make up for it.

"Thank you!" Liu Yu thought that he still needed to talk a little, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly. A long-lost smile gradually appeared on his face, "When will it be reported?" ”

"Anytime."

"Then I'll go back and get ready."

"Okay."

Liu Yu got up to say goodbye, but Xie Yan never stayed, personally sent him out of the house and watched him step on horseback.

Before leaving, Liu Yu couldn't help but take a deep look at him, and saw that half of his face was still bruised, so he felt embarrassed.

He clenched his fists towards Xie Yan, looking guilty, "I was impulsive that day, my mouth was unstoppable, General Xie has a lot, good bearing!" ”

Xie Yan smiled and didn't say much.

No matter how painful the wound on the face is, it is not as painful as the pain in the heart. He had too many words in his heart, and no one confided in him, and Liu Yu's few punches were actually a kind of catharsis for him.

apologized in public, and Liu Yu stopped staying.

He drove his mount back the same way, passing through the city god and pulling his horse in the direction of Guixiangyuan......

Guixiangyuan, which suffered from thieves, collapsed, the former carved beams and painted buildings, and the splendid hall decorated with gold and glory has become a pile of waste, and the backyard is a little better, but it is also ruined and broken, and it is dark and swarthy.

The whole Hualiu Street is silent a lot.

Liu Yu stood for a long time in front of the void, thinking that he had not only affected Tianjin, but also harmed the innocent burial of the entire Guixiangyuan, and his heart became more and more bitter.

He closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he drove to the east of the city to invite the moon lake.

From Hualiu Lane to Yingyue Lake, the three-way intersection on the main street is the way to go. Although there are still cars coming and going in Guangling City, it has been greatly affected compared to the excitement of the past.

Liu Yu was a little absent-minded and bought some sacrificial supplies by the way.

On the street, an oncoming carriage with black cloth curtains passed by Liu Yu.

After receiving the object handed over by the stall owner, Liu Yu only thought about Tianjin, and immediately got on the horse, clamped his legs, and the mount under him immediately accelerated.

The curtain of the missed carriage was gently lifted by a jade-white hand, revealing a pearl-like face.

"Tianjin girl doesn't have to worry, the front is Guixiangyuan." The man in the black clothes sitting in the carriage suddenly spoke.

Tianjin's hand holding the curtain of the car stiffened, and he turned his head and nodded to Wang Guobao, "Thank you for making your body weight all the way." ”

The corners of Wang Guobao's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was smiling.

Tianjin was in a hurry to return to Guangling, and the road was almost non-stop. Although Wang Guobao didn't think so, he also admired her for being so tenacious as a soft woman, and cooperated with her as much as possible to speed up.

The carriage passed through the deep alleyway and came to a halt before it was in ruins.

Tianjin was about to get out of the car when an arm was crossed in front of her.

Wang Guobao looked at her calmly, "I heard that the water thief hasn't been caught yet, so for the sake of safety, let's watch it in the car." ”

Tianjin had no choice but to sit back down.

Her unreasonable demands are enough, and she can't be willful. She lifted the curtain again, and when she looked out, her face instantly turned pale.
