A few people ran away with a roll, Lin Qi looked at me and hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry general, I, I'm ......" I waved my hand, "It's okay, let's go." ”

The three of us just returned to the City Lord's Mansion. Liu Jie listened to the report of his subordinates: "I can't even bring anyone back, what do I want you to do?

At this time, several people hurriedly said, "The boss spares his life, he could have brought it back." But who would have thought that he would run into the city lord Wei Feng halfway, and the little one was also beaten by his men. What else do you say to make you want someone to go to him. ”

Liu Jie grinned after hearing this, revealing his two front teeth. Then he threw the cup on the ground and said, "Lao Tzu really wants to meet him another day." ”

At this time, suddenly the bell above rang, and Liu Jie waved his hand impatiently, "Get down." Then the men left in fear, and carefully closed the door as they left.

Liu Jie twisted the vase behind him, and a secret door appeared when he heard a sound. A man in black walked out from inside, looked at Liu Jie and said, "You go and meet him now, use me to the Dongying Empire." In the name of the Tokugawa family, but try to win him over. This person is useful to us, and if we really can't win it over, we ......"

The man in black made a killing gesture and ignored Liu Jie, and returned to the dark room. Nothing happened as if it had never happened.

In his opinion, Liu Jie is just a pawn of the Dongying Empire. Whether this kind of chess piece is the same or not. After hearing this, Liu Jie walked around the place, and then ordered someone to go shopping.

Then he came to the door in person, and he didn't dare to disobey the orders of the man in black. Because everything he had was given by the Tokugawa family, and it would be easy for them to take it back.

Liu Jie walked to the City Lord's Mansion with his things, and said to the soldiers at the door, "I'm sorry to report to a few people, and I'll say that Liu Jie is invited to see you." ”

Then he looked at what was behind him, and the soldier listened. also hurriedly went in to report, after all, this person still has some reputation in Linyi City.

I was thinking about the military rations in Linyi City, when someone suddenly came in and said, "Report to the general, there is a person outside who calls himself Liu Jie and asks to see him." I also brought quite a few things. ”

I thought about it for a while, but I didn't expect this person to come so soon. But since he brought something, he must not have come to ask for someone. I told Mrs. Zhou to go with me to the lobby to have a look, and I ordered the soldiers to let them in.

Liu Jie looked at Wei Feng in front of him, smiled and said, "I didn't expect the city lord to be so young, and he is really a hero." ”

Since people greet me with smiling faces, of course I don't have the consciousness to put on a shelf, not to mention that it is natural to repay debts. So he pretended to ask, "I don't know what kind of wind blew Brother Liu here, what is the matter of visiting the office today?"

Liu Jie gave me an embarrassed look, and then I got up from my seat and said, "Look at my memory, Brother Liu, please take a seat." Then he ordered left and right to make tea, Liu Jie sat down and said

"Don't hide it from the general, I'm here on behalf of the Tokugawa family. These things are given to the general, and a small gift is not a tribute. I hope you will laugh at it."

Tokugawa Kazuhiro was the founder of the Tokugawa family. Born in the aristocracy, he was the last ruler of the Fire Dance family. The Fire Dance Tayoshi Alliance, and then due to the weakening of the power of Empress Jimmu, he fought against the Fujiwara family, the Tanaka family, and others.

He himself supported Emperor Orijimmu's other nephew, Jimtake Hideyoshi, and set out to control his retainers while accumulating power in the Kanto region.

Later, he became the strongest of the eight families, won the position of the patriarch with 200,000 troops, and was appointed as the senior general of Dongying, the general of Zhengyi, and obtained real power.

This shows the strength of the Tokugawa family. The Tokugawa clan enjoyed the most high-class treatment of the samurai, with the clan as dukes, the Gosanke as the marquis, and the Gosankei as the earl.

Then Liu Jie instructed his subordinates to open the boxes they brought, and each box was full of gold cakes.

There were three boxes in total, and my eyes almost lit up. Although I am not a person who loves money, I can't help but be a little excited to see so many gold cakes. But in the face of right and wrong, I still knew what was wrong, suppressed the joy in my heart, and asked, "Then what does the Tokugawa family need me about?"

After hearing this, Liu Jie felt that there was a play, and then said: "The Tokugawa family hopes to get the support of the general in the future, these things are just trivial." If we work together, there will be more of these things in the future." Looking rich and capricious, I smiled and said, "In this case, please treat me, thank you chief."

In the face of Dongying, although I don't want to, I can't do anything. With my current strength, competing with any of the Eight Great Families of Dongying is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, not to mention that I am just giving them a verbal consent. If it is really a matter of national righteousness, I can still distinguish it.

Liu Jie saw that his goal had been achieved, and he also got up and prepared to leave.

At this moment, someone outside the door reported that the Pavilion Master of Lingxiao Pavilion had come to visit in person with something. I looked at Liu Jie and said, "Do you want to avoid it first?" Liu Jie listened, "It's okay, then thank you general."

I asked Miko to come in, and I ordered my men to make a new cup of tea. Miko Hibumi came in and said, "This castle lord's mansion is really glorious." Then he inadvertently saw the box next to him, and secretly said in his heart, "It's not a step too late."

Then I ordered my subordinates to put things on the ground, and I got up and said, "The pavilion master is here in person, I don't know what you are doing?" That's why I came to see, does the general have a guest?"

I shook my head, in fact, even a fool could tell if there were any guests. Miko Huo Mai didn't ask any questions, and said directly, "I don't know what the general thought about yesterday's conversation?" My Huo Mai family is very sincere, and then ordered his subordinates to open the box he brought, which was full of jewels and jade, and there were four full boxes.

I don't think I've ever seen so much money in my life...... Try to tell yourself to be calm, to be calm.

Then he replied, "Then thank you for the kindness of the Fire Dance family, and you will definitely help if you can help in the future." Then he pulled the topic elsewhere and asked without giving her a chance to ask a rhetorical question.

Why don't you tell me about the origin of the Fire Dance family?" As soon as Miko Hibui heard about her own family, she became interested and said that in Toei, Emperor Jimmu continued to occupy the territories of local nobles, expand his own cantonments, and impose on them the military burden of invading other countries. Tensions between the royal family and the local aristocracy intensified.

The war of aggression brought disaster to the people and triggered the people's resistance. Since then, the system of the people has not adapted to the level of development of the productive forces, and has begun to disintegrate, and the people have fled. The struggle between the old and new forces within the imperial court intensified day by day.

The Otomo clan, who wielded real power in the imperial court, were attacked for advocating the cession of the four prefectures of Renna to Baekje, thus losing political power.

The Fire Dance family was also a nobleman in the imperial court, and a conservative force that maintained the original way of rule. At that time, Dongying was divided into eight families, and many of them were resolutely opposed to this practice, so there was a fierce struggle between the two factions over who was right and who was wrong......

After listening to it, I had a general assessment of Dongying's strength. If they join forces, I believe that none of the Seven Nations will be able to compete with each other. Unless the Qin State returns to the prosperous era of a few years ago. And judging from the current situation of the entire Qin State, it is simply unwilling.

After the conversation, I sent Miko Huo Mai away on the grounds that it was not early, and Liu Jie heard it clearly in the back. So after Miko Homai left, she hurriedly said goodbye. I looked at the chests of treasure in front of me and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to move them to the warehouse. Who is afraid of having a lot of money.

Besides, Lin Qi and Zhao Lihua, the two looked at each other like this after returning to the City Lord's Mansion. Lin Qi remembered how he followed her when he was a child, and fell into memories for a while

"Sister Hua, you wait for me. Lin Qi looked at the little girl in front of him who was one year older than herself, Zhao Lihua stopped and pulled Lin Qi's little hand and said, Hurry up and I'll take you to a fun place. So the two ran to the mountain, snuggled up to each other and sat on the grass listening to the sound of the wind. Watching the sunrise"

Zhao Lihua saw that Lin Qi didn't speak, and patted his head directly as if she was in a daze and asked, "What are you thinking?" Lin Qi hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, it's nothing, you're hungry." I'll go and ask them to make you something to eat. ”

After speaking, she was about to leave, Zhao Lihua shouted, "Lin Qi, stop for me, how long do you want to hide." Hearing this, Lin Qi stood in place, not daring to look back at her. It was indeed he who left her inexplicably. That's why she has suffered for so many years, Zhao Lihua said to Lin Qi's back

"You explain to me why you didn't say goodbye back then?" Rao is Lin Qi, a person who has never flinched on the battlefield, and now he doesn't know what to do, but he just said hesitantly, "I, I ......"

Zhao Lihua looked at him and said angrily in her heart: "Since you don't want to say, then I'll go, I should have never known you." After saying that, he cried and wanted to run out, but Lin Qi hugged her on the spot. Let her struggle in her arms and whisper

"I said, after we got home that day. Your father came to me alone and said if I was doing it for your good. Just let me stop bothering you in the future, after all, I have no father and mother since I was a child, so ......"

Zhao Lihua stopped struggling when she heard this, and said with tears in her eyes, "So you don't care about my feelings, so you don't say goodbye." Don't you know what's going on in my heart, you bastard. You lied to me......".

Lin Qi looked at the girl in front of him and had a thought at this time, no matter what. I won't let go anymore, and after a while, Zhao Lihua stopped struggling. Holding Lin Qi with both hands, the two kept holding each other.

Zhao Lihua said, "After you left, I also thought about forgetting you and starting anew." But I just can't control my desire to go to you, it's the kind of thinking that is psychological. I go every day where we used to be, and you've never sent me a letter after so long. You didn't ask me how I was doing, and I really felt bad when you did this. You can choose to run away and choose to forget everything you used to be, but I can't do it......"
