"The Lord is coming, and the old minister does not dare to slack off."

Ye Xiang straightened up without hurry, and followed the man in red into the main hall step by step. His hair was gray, his face was wrinkled, and he had a half-length beard under his chin, like a humble old goat, except for the scheming eyes.

"Okay, okay, what's going on with what I asked you to inquire about?"

The man in red walked into the main hall, and as soon as his robe was lifted, he sat on the main seat. Ye Xiang looked at the movements of the man in red, smiled slightly, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Lord Qiqi, the old minister has checked all the big and small things in Yudu in the past month, and the only thing that can be regarded as abnormal is probably only Qi Lu.

"Qi Lu? Master Taifu, who has always been leaky, actually let you grab the handle? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that when I think about it, this is the only thing that can barely be considered a little weird."

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"A few days ago, Qi Lu left Yudu alone, and he didn't come back until today, but when he came back, there was one more person."

"One more person? Is it King Xuan's people? ”

"It's not. When they entered the city, they happened to meet Mr. Han, according to Mr. Han's description, following Qi Lu was a woman, dressed in black, with several strangely shaped blades on her back, very suspicious, and a new face, so he stopped Qi Lu and interrogated.

Qi Lu said that this woman was originally the righteous daughter of a friend of his, and that friend went on a long trip, so he couldn't rest assured that this righteous daughter was entrusted to Qi Lu. ”

"So Qi Lu went out this time to pick up this woman?"

"According to him, it is."

When the man in red heard this, he suddenly fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.

"And then?"

After Qi Lu and the woman entered the city, they went straight to the dance building and stayed for more than an hour. My men were outside and heard the sounds of fighting coming from inside. Then, Qi Lu took the woman back to Tongbao Yinhao. “

"Oh? Are you saying that this woman dared to do something in the dance building and leave intact? “

"The minister does not dare to speculate."

"Hmph, old fox."

The man in red snorted coldly and glanced at Ye Xiang with slanted eyes. Although it was just a cold glance, his pair of soul-seducing peach blossom eyes, if others saw it, I was afraid that even his heart would jump out. But Ye Xiang not only didn't react at all, but even he spoke with his eyes down from beginning to end, and he didn't look up at the man in red at all.

While the two were talking, a carrier pigeon flew into the hall and stopped at the hand of the man in red, who took out the note on the pigeon's leg and looked at it, and then handed the note to Ye Xiang on the side.

"Jin Yan? Could it be the woman Qi Lu brought back today? Childe intends to let such a little girl take over Wushenglou? “

Ye Xiang looked at the note in his hand and frowned.

"Where did Qi Lu go, who is his friend, and what is the identity of this woman, have you found out?"

"This..."

"Say."

"My people followed Qi Lu all the way to the Weiwu Mountain in the southeast corner of Yingzhou, and then...

"Then your people can't keep up anymore, and it wasn't until today that Qi Lu returned to Yudu, and you found out that there was one more person."

“。。。 Exactly. ”

"Misty Mountain... What else do you know? ”

"That's all I have received so far...

The man in red was obviously not satisfied with the answer, but he didn't go any further.

"Keep an eye on me, I can't let go of any clues."

"The old minister understands."

"I still have something to do, if there are any clues, let me know immediately."

"Greetings to the Lord."

Without waiting for Ye Xiang to finish speaking, the man in red flew out of the Prime Minister's Mansion again, and Ye Xiang watched his back disappear completely over the courtyard wall before turning around and returning to the hall.

The old man sat down in the seat where the man in red was sitting, his face was very gloomy, and he pursed his lips tightly, as if he was secretly suppressing something.

"After all, Xiangye is the prime minister of a country, although he is called the lord, but he is too rude, and he doesn't take Xiangye in his eyes at all, this prime minister's mansion seems to have become his place."

A man in Tsing Yi suddenly opened the curtain in the back hall and walked in, Ye Xiang listened to his words, his face became even more gloomy, but it didn't take long to ease up.

"Mr. Han's kind-hearted old man understands, but after all, the lord is the lord, and we are used to being arrogant, we should be cautious as courtiers, how can we say that the lord is not."

"Xiangye's magnanimity and loyalty can be seen, but Han Mou lost his word."

The man in Tsing Yi bowed his head and made a gesture, but the old man didn't notice the smile flashing in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. According to Mr. Han, what is the purpose of his sudden coming to Yudu? ”

Han also felt very strange, it stands to reason that over the years, the relationship between the Qi State and the Northern Kingdom has become more and more tense, and he has not set foot in the Qi State for many years. But this time, he came so suddenly, and there was no news in advance. ”

"Could it be ... He's already suspicious? ”

Han Yi frowned and pondered for a moment before continuing.

"If you want to say that over the years, all he can see is the fact that Han is temporarily in charge of the commander, I'm afraid he won't be suspicious. And before he came, he specially sent someone to inform Xiangye, if the goal of his trip was Xiangye, then why did he bother to startle the snake? ”

"Notice? He's just going to use me to help him keep an eye on King Xuan. ”

"Xiangye's words are wrong, whether it is to inform or use. is enough to show that his power is not enough to do whatever he wants in this Yudu, so he needs to rely on Xiangye. ”

Ye Xiang stroked his beard silently, repeatedly thinking about Han Yi's words, and nodded incessantly.

"What Mr. said makes sense, King Xuan's power has become more and more powerful over the years, and it is not so simple for him to want to take root in this Yudu."

"So Xiangye doesn't have to worry too much. All we have to do is keep an eye on this Lord and plan for anything to happen. ”

"Just do as Mr. said, you must send someone to keep an eye on him, and the woman that Qi Lu brought back, there must be no relaxation."

Han Yi nodded, bowed and withdrew. He went back to his room, pondered for a long time, and then took up a pen and wrote a note, and then took out a snow-white pigeon.

He tied the note to the pigeon's leg, but did not let the pigeon out, but carefully hid the pigeon in his arms and quietly left the prime minister's house.

He walked all the way to a remote alley, looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one around, before he released the carrier pigeon in his arms.

The snow-white carrier pigeon fluttered and fluttered, spreading its wings towards the blue sky, but it did not know where it was going to fly. The note he had so carefully put out was written on top of a well-known ballad, but for some reason, he had only picked four of them.

"Wushenglou, the woman in black. The law is now, and the son is dead. ”

At that end, as soon as Jin Yu stepped out of the silver trumpet gate, a few shadows mixed in the crowd followed her.

Jin Yuke didn't expect that she, a girl from the mountains who had not been deeply involved in the world, would be listed as a key surveillance target by several forces as soon as she arrived in Yudu City.

Outside the Tongbao Silver No., is the most prosperous main street in the city, Jinxiu Street.

The silver horn is facing the door, that is, the place where Jin Yu is thinking in her heart, and the place where the fragrance is faintly wafting, is the most famous restaurant in Qi Kingdom, a cow.

The reason why it is called a cow is naturally because their family's whole cow banquet is really a unique taste in the world. Speaking of this all-cow feast, it is necessary to choose a bull that is in the prime of life or a cow that has just matured and has not yet become pregnant, and it must also be a farmer. Because the strong cow that has done farm work and sweated, the cut meat is chewy. It's not okay to be thin, it's not okay to be too fat, seven points of weight and three points of fat can be just right.

Coupled with the exquisite knife technique, the meat is cut into the most suitable shape according to the different meat quality of each part, and then 81 dishes are made by 9981 cooking methods, so it is called the whole beef feast.

This feast of the whole cow must first select the best strong ox, and then it has to go through many intricate and complex processes, and it takes a lot of time to prepare for this cooking, so that only one table can be set up every month.

And since the launch of this cow's all-cow banquet, it has immediately become the object of competition among these dignitaries. This monthly quota alone has made them break their heads, and it is a great honor to be able to have a table of all-cow banquets on a cow.

As soon as Jin Yu went out, she saw the huge golden bull head on the signboard of a cow, and it is said that this plaque is made of pure gold, which weighs about ten catties. That's a dozen catties of gold, and if it falls, it can almost kill a person, just for this one golden bull head.

However, Jin Yu didn't care whether the cow's head was pure gold or gold-plated, she only smelled a strong fragrance wafting out of the restaurant, and then compared to her already hungry stomach, she couldn't help but walk into a cow.

Coincidentally, today is the day when a cow is feasted, so there is such a strong fragrance. When Jin Wei came in, the banquet had not yet begun, and the guests were gathering in the building to talk and laugh loudly.

"Does the girl have an invitation?"

"What invitation?"

"I'm sorry girl, our store has been chartered today, and we don't accept foreign guests, if the girl doesn't have an invitation, please come back another day."

"Wrapped? Such a big restaurant has all been chartered? I'm smelling this fragrance outside, and it's so accommodating that I can take a place in the corner. ”

Jin Yu was a little surprised when she heard that such a large restaurant had been completely covered. But the scent was so enticing that she couldn't even take a step when she smelled it. When the fellow heard her, he laughed.

"Could it be that the girl is a foreigner?"

"How do you know?"

As soon as the girl said this, she couldn't hide it. The all-beef banquet in our store is well-known to everyone in this Yudu, and it can only be held once a month, and it must be booked three months in advance. Today happens to be the day of the banquet, and no outsiders will be accepted according to the rules. ”

No wonder.,It turned out to be a rule that everyone in Yudu knows.。。。

Jin Yu looked into the store with some reluctance, and the hall on the first floor was full of guests talking and laughing loudly, most of them were rough men, with dark and rough faces, strong and powerful arms, and thick calluses in their palms. Moreover, although these big men were all dressed in regular clothes, they all wore similar swords around their waists.

That's it, that's it, these people don't look like ordinary people, it seems that today's fragrant whole cow banquet really has nothing to do with her.

"If that's the case, I'll come back another day."

Jin Yu was just about to leave, but a very nice voice sounded behind her.

"Girl, please stay."
