The twilight is getting heavier, and there are still more than 100 miles away from Julu City, Xiao Yu ordered not to rest, and hurried overnight, he wanted to see the west gate of Julu City before the time.

Xiao Yuyi, who had been riding horses outside all day, had a lot of fun, and after relaxing, he was a little out of energy, and after hastily eating a few pieces of dim sum cakes, he fell asleep in Lin Yinping's arms. Lin Yinping gently patted Xiao Yuyi in his arms with one hand, and supported his forehead with the other, while Xiao Yu was sitting next to the desk, holding a copy of the message that had just been sent from it, thoughtfully.

This trip to Jiangdu was not his whim, in addition to fulfilling this long-standing wish, he also wanted to meet the Red Turban Army who turned Jiangnan upside down. This is also what it means to teach a real person. The White Lotus Sect was used as a sword by the proprietor hundreds of years ago, so why not give it to the Taoist Sect again? He originally wanted to go to Jiangdu and his party, and Jiangdu had a great river and natural danger, and because it was the intention of the real person in charge of the sect, the Taoist Sect would also have someone to answer, so his decision to go there in person was not considered a gentleman to stand under the wall.

Take a step back and say, you can go to the eastern capital, but you can't go to a Jiangdu?

When the night completely falls, along with the night comes the spring rain that sneaks into the night with the wind, and the fine and dense raindrops fall from the sky with the steep spring cold, hitting this team that advances silently in the night, but whether it is the tiger battalion armor or the dark guard ranger, they are all neatly dressed, allowing the raindrops to beat on their armor, sounding a continuous crackling sound.

Xiao Yu put down the thin piece of paper in his hand, pushed the window to look at the dark night, and chuckled: "Yinping, it's not too early, you can go to sleep first, and when you get to Julu City, I'll wake you up." ”

Lin Yinping's face was slightly worried.

Xiao Yu knew her thoughts, and said half comfortingly: "Although I have done a few things to take millet from the fire, I am not a Yan Zhao scholar who does not take his life seriously, this time I walked from Julu City not to remember to eat or fight, last time because of Yan De's step-by-step pressing, Xiao Zheng had to watch from the wall, but this time it is very different, not to mention that Murong Yan has just retired from the army, and there is no action in a short period of time, just say that the real person in charge of the sect is still in the northwest, and there are a few free immortals who dare to come?"

Lin Yinping said in a low voice: "As the saying goes, once you are bitten by a snake, you are afraid of the well rope for ten years, not to mention that you have not been born once in this Julu City, how can I rest assured, or we can bypass Julu City and go from Yuzhou." ”

Xiao Yu showed a touch of coldness on his face, "Again and again, again and again." ”

Lin Yinping looked down at Xiao Yuyi, and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll listen to you." ”

Xiao Yu rubbed Xiao Yuyi's head lightly behind him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will bring my family with me this time, naturally I am safe first, and I have my own plans in my heart." ”

Outside the carriage, horses' hooves rose and fell, splashing countless muddy water.

The sound of horses' hooves and the sound of rain falling are intertwined.

After two hours of such a silent march, the giant deer city that looked like a pitch-black beast in the night was already far away.

Because Xiao Yu is considered a micro-service trip, Julu City did not send too many people to greet him with fanfare, but the three people who were sent to greet him were all big stewards with real power.

The carriage did not stop, all the way through the city gate, led by the three chief stewards, to the mansion that had been ready to stay.

Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping stepped out of the carriage, Xiao Yuyi was held in Lin Yinping's arms, Zhuge Gong and Zhang Xiao had already held up a big umbrella to cover the rain for the two of them, at this time, Steward Sun trotted over from behind, not caring about being soaked in the spring rain, and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, the city lord has been unwell recently and can't come in person, I hope the prince will forgive me." ”

Xiao Yu nodded and did not speak.

This house occupies a wide area, the winding path is secluded, and there is a handwriting to lead water into the house, outside this plug, it is a rare scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, Lin Yinpingjing hugged Xiao Yuyi to rest first, Xiao Yu was not in a hurry to spend the spring night with the hibiscus tent in the past, but stood alone under the corridor, looking at the cool night rain outside the corridor, stunned.

Although there are not many people, only one big and one young, he has just satisfied the statement of a family of three, but he is no longer the alone self he was back then, and he is really starting a family.

It seemed that there was a little chill, Xiao Yu put his hands in his sleeves and said to himself: "Then you can't die." ”

――

In the city lord's mansion, Xiao Zheng's study was brightly lit.

Xiao Zheng, who was already showing his old age, sat behind the desk, and the jumping candlelight illuminated his face uncertainly.

The high-spirited regent of Houjian is now a dying old man, living in Julu City, but he is just surviving.

The old man laughed at himself: "Now I don't even have the courage to meet a junior." ”

Since the last change in Julu City, he has felt shameless to face Xiao Yu, a distant junior. Therefore, after Xiao Yu entered the city, he couldn't get sick and avoided it.

"The mountain is not me, I will come to the mountain. ”

A cold voice came from outside the window, and the tone was flat and tasteless.

Xiao Zheng raised his head, looked at the uninvited guest, was stunned for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I see how worried Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to be the same." ”

"You see how embarrassed Qingshan is, but Qingshan is not. ”

It was Xiao Yu who came, and instead of resting in the middle of the night, he bypassed the guards and quietly entered the City Lord's Mansion.

Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "What are you doing here?

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I just want to come and see you, you're old." ”

Xiao Zheng sighed lightly: "I am old, I am about to rot wood, and half of my body is buried in the loess, but there is one thing I have not been able to figure out, it is related to you, if you don't ask to understand, I am afraid that the coffin will not be stable." ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said calmly: "It's okay, excuse me." ”

Xiao Zheng pondered for a moment and then asked: "We are all surnamed Xiao, if we push up a few generations, we can barely be regarded as a family, and now that the Xiao family has withered, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been uprooted, but you and Xiao Lie's Da Zheng Xiao family is in full swing, one controls the Eastern Capital, the other dominates the Central Capital, and there are two of the Xiao family in the third division of Da Zheng, more than one person has said that if you and Xiao Lie can work together as father and son, the world will really change the surname Xiao, but you have not moved." I want to ask you, what the hell do you and Xiao Lie think?"

Xiao Yu sat opposite Xiao Zheng and said flatly: "To put it bluntly, Xiao Lie and I are a battle of will, when the prince's rebellion occurred, my grandfather's family and my mother were killed by Emperor Zheng, so when I entered the Eastern Capital, I killed Emperor Zheng with my own hands, but at the same time I was even more annoyed by Xiao Lie's inaction, he obviously had the ability to keep my mother, not only did he not do it, but he watched my mother drink that cup of poisonous wine, I can't do it, I really don't want to!"

Xiao Zheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "There is no better woman in this world?"

Xiao Yu sneered: "Even if I put aside my mother's affairs, Xiao Lie and I are willing to work together, but then should I go to the Eastern Capital to be a filial son, a brother, a friend and a brother? Or Xiao Lie will come to my Western Capital, be a loving father, and take care of the heavens by the way? There are few examples of cannibalism for that chair in the world?"

Xiao Zheng sighed: "No one can calculate the confused account between your father and son, but the current situation, even outsiders can see it, as long as you join forces with Xiao Lie, Qin Zheng, who is on the front line of Dayi, will definitely die, and then win over and appease the herdsmen to prevent future construction, and in the end there is only one red turban army left, which can be destroyed with a single hand, and then the great cause can be accomplished, and the world can be expected." As long as you win the world, no matter who sits on that chair, it is always the world of the Xiao family, if you are willing to take a step back, after a hundred years of Xiao Lie, that chair will still be yours after all. ”

Xiao Yu had a sneer on his face and said, "Xiao Lie is a human immortal, I'm afraid he won't die if I die." ”

Xiao Zheng, an old man who used to be a supreme minister, shook his head and sighed: "I'm old, I don't know if I can see the day when our Xiao family sweeps the world in this life." ”

Xiao Yu turned around and left Xiao Zheng's study, and the moment he turned around, a touch of mockery appeared on his face, "Emperor?"
