Seeing that the shadow under Luo Guanlin's feet was alive, Wang Yue took two steps forward excitedly, grabbed Luo Guanlin's shoulders with one hand, and then moved up with those two hands trembling along his shoulders, first his neck, and then his face, his expression seemed to be extremely concerned and he couldn't believe what he saw in front of him: "Guanlin, it's really you......!"

"You don't have to take this opportunity to test my body temperature and snort......," Luo Guanlin, who was trembling and holding his face by his friend, twisted his eyebrows and said, "I am a human being, not a ghost."

Wang Yue's hand paused, coughed slightly, and then withdrew his hand and pressed the tears in the corners of his eyes: "I am relieved to see that you are really alive."

After speaking, he hurriedly turned around and closed the window, turned back, and then lowered his voice and asked, "But how dare you hide in this Jiangdu City now?" Aren't you afraid of bumping into the hands of Shi Chang Suining?"

Luo Guanlin: "......" has no room to hit her hand anymore.

Wang Yue leaned closer again, his face worried: "Guanlin, you are dark under the lamp!"

Luo Guanlin was silent, what was dark under the lamp, and she was darker than anyone else in that lamp.

"Or ......" Wang Yue grabbed Luo Guanlin's arm and asked, "Or do you intend to avenge the old master Xu Zhengye?" So it lurks here?"

"I know that you value love and righteousness, but you are alone and powerless, how can you compete with Chang Suining, who has a heavy army?" Wang Yue persuaded: "Guanlin, listen to me, it is very difficult for you to save your life, so don't be stubborn anymore......

Luo Guanlin, who had never had a chance to speak, raised his hand to interrupt his worried friend: "Wangshan, you might as well listen to me first......

Wang Yue shook his head, and first pulled Luo Guanlin to sit down in the chair: "Guanlin, no matter what, you have to think about your family now...... Now that the soldiers are rampant and the bandits are rampant, are they all safe?"

Family is always weak, and Wang Yue tries to use family affection to wake up his friend's sleeping reason.

Luo Guanlin: "The family is still safe."

"That's a blessing!" Wang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and because he intended to try to appease his friend, he immediately took the initiative in the conversation: "Then again, how did you escape from the world in the first place?"

Luo Guanlin: "It's a long story...... it starts with a sack.

Wang Yue was not in a hurry to ask, but sighed, "You have also gone through nine deaths this time......

After thinking about it, he thought in a low voice, "However, if you can escape from under your nose without finding anything, so to speak...... That Chang Sui Ning is not as divine as it is rumored."

As he spoke, he shook his head and smiled, "Sure enough, rumors must be exaggerated, and they should not be believed."

Seeing that his friend was full of calmness, Luo Guanlin's mood was extremely complicated.

Wang Yue was actually quietly paying attention to Luo Guanlin's reaction, and at this moment, seeing that Luo Guanlin did not accept his comments on Chang Suining, he had no sense of righteous indignation and hatred, Wang Yue felt a little calmer, raised his hand and poured two teas, one to Luo Guanlin.

Bian said with relief: "Life in the world is like a boat on the sea, there is no need to mention the past, and today you and I can have the opportunity to reunite, which is a great blessing......

The two then replaced the wine with tea, for this precious reunion that escaped death.

After drinking half a cup, Wang Yue said, "Guanlin, your long-term stay in Jiangdu is not a long-term solution after all...... What's next? If there's anything I can do to help, you don't need to be out there, just say it."

They knew each other at a young age, their relationship was deep, and the current situation was unpredictable, so it was even more important for family friends to take care of and support each other.

Luo Guanlin didn't answer and asked, "Wangshan, do you have any plans?"

At the mention of this, Wang Yue, who has always been easy-tempered and gentle-tempered, showed a trace of sadness between his eyebrows: "Since the recurrence of the plague of the Japanese invaders, the king of Yue has been vigorously expanding his troops and horses and recruiting talents...... Qiantang is adjacent to Yuezhou, and the king of Yue has sent people to my house twice."

Luo Guanlin's face changed slightly.

Although Yuezhou is also close to the East China Sea, this time the Japanese invaders intended to weaken Jiangdu and Runzhou after the war, so the war defense line was in the adjacent waters of the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea.

Of course, it is always a good thing for Yuezhou to be vigilant and armed, and Chang Suining has also said more than once that the coastal defense of the entire Yellow Sea and the East China Sea must be reorganized, and there can be no relaxation, so as to give the Japanese and foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of-

Can be cleaned

Coastal defense and training sailors are understandable, but expanding soldiers and horses and recruiting talents......

And this recruiting hand even went out of Yuezhou and went to Qiantang...... Now the vassal kings everywhere are ready to move, and Li Su, the king of Yue, seems to be no exception, and most of them have the intention of taking the opportunity to gather momentum.

Luo Guanlin looked at Wang Yue: "Then are you going to agree to King Yue's recruitment?"

Wang Yue sighed: "I haven't thought about it yet......

Looking at his friend's difficult to make a choice, Luo Guanlin silently understood, Wang Yue is most afraid of making a choice to make a decision, this is the case when he is young, if you give him a pen, he can gladly accept it, but if you ask him to buy a pen, he is bound to be able to choose most of the pen and ink shop for a long time, and in the end, eight or nine times out of ten you will use the "point soldier general" to select the final one.

A pen is like this, such a big thing, it is expected to be more difficult to choose.

Therefore, Luo Guanlin had already told Chang Suining in advance that Wang Wangshan was very knowledgeable, and he was very good at tolerating people and things, and he was good at scheming, but he was not good at deciding.

"Guanlin, you know my ...... best" This topic aroused Wang Yue's hard thoughts, and he subconsciously said, "Why don't you help me think about it and get an idea?"

After speaking, he hurriedly came back to his senses and waved his hand, and sighed: "It's okay, your ability to choose people is not very clever...... I can't always choose, you can't always choose."

Luo Guanlin's face distorted, and he said that the good past is gone, so he wants to mention it again?

Compared with not being able to choose, Wang Yue is obviously more afraid of choosing the wrong one, so although he has been a famous person in Qiantang over the years, he has never been involved in disputes among outsiders, but only Luo Guanlin knows best, he doesn't want to get involved, but he doesn't know which direction to get involved.

Sometimes he just saw a person and wanted to go to someone's house to be a guest or something, but before he could think about it, that side had already collapsed, so he could only sigh "not my good master", and then silently look for the next one.

Looking at his friends who were undecided, Luo Guanlin inexplicably felt that Chang Suining was quite suitable, if he succeeded, he would be successful, and if he didn't succeed, he would put on a sack and carry it away directly, he had no choice at all, but he was free from the pain of choice.

Wang Yue didn't know anything about his friend's sinister intentions, and was still thinking about King Yue, and then he thought about it: "But since you have lived in the officialdom for a long time, you should know more about King Yue, can you tell me what you think about treating people everywhere?"

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and Wang Yue immediately asked, "The food is here?"

Luo Guanlin: "......" is the one who collects the vegetables.

Wang Yue, who didn't know that he was a dish, watched the door of the private room being pushed open, but it was not the restaurant guy who walked in-

A fair-skinned and tall young man wearing a light green embroidered auspicious cloud robe walked in with his hands in his hands, and smiled before he could speak: "Sir, wait, the wine and food will arrive later."

Hearing this undisguised girl's timbre, Wang Yue was stunned again, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Luo Guanlin, only to see that when Luo Guanlin and the girl's eyes met, there was no strange surprise-

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, then asked his friend with a smile, "Is this Ling Ai?"

Luo Guanlin: "?"

He wasn't so blessed!

As the door behind the girl was closed from the outside, Wang Yue had acquiesced to this fact and stood up with a smile: "...... It's grown so big in the blink of an eye! I think I was just a three- or four-year-old doll back then!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help complaining to his friend: "...... Look, when did you bring your child to Jiangdu? And the letter didn't mention a word, but I didn't even prepare a meeting gift for this uncle!"

And Jiangdu is here, is it the place where children should come? It's just that he wears a mask to hide his identity all day long, and he doesn't dare to dress up as a daughter when he forces his children!

Luo Guanlin swayed wildly between unbearable and guilty for his friend, and chose to close his eyes temporarily: "...... Wangshan, she is not a stream."

Wang Yue was immediately puzzled, it wasn't his niece of Daxian, so who else could it be?

The man who came quickly gave him the answer.

Wang Yue saw the girl with an extraordinarily neat temperament raise her hand with him, and said with a smile: "Chang Suining, I have seen Mr. Wang."

Wang Yue's confused expression suddenly appeared a huge crack, like the collapse of heaven and earth-

Who?

Chang Sui Ning?!

He almost subconsciously looked at Luo Guanlin on the side, with an indisputable panic - he didn't invite it!

Yes, he is very suspicious, he learned the secret of his friend's escape from death in the letter, and he is scheduled to meet again at noon today...... But it's really not his secret!

How could he be one of those traitors seeking glory?

In a panic, Wang Yue hurriedly stopped in front of his friend who was slowly standing up, and said urgently: "Guanlin, this matter is strange, but you listen to my explanation......

「…… You don't have to explain." Luo Guanlin pressed one of his friend's arms, stepped forward, and looked at Chang Suining: "Chang Thorn Shi came with me."

Wang Yue's anxious mood was immediately frozen, and his whole person was like an ice sculpture, almost stiffly turning his head to look at Luo Guanlin: "...... What?"

Luo Guanlin's tone was complicated: "Wangshan, I ...... now. In the Jiangdu Thorn Mansion, do things for the Chang Thorn History."

Hearing this, Wang Yue's ice sculpture gradually burst open.

[In the Thorn History Mansion, do things for the Chang Thorn History] - a very simple sentence, but at this moment, for Wang Yue, it is more difficult to chew and digest than the dry and hard New Year's balls fried by his old mother at home, which have not been eaten for a year and have become moldy.

finally pieced together the shattered thinking ability, and the first thought that appeared in Wang Yue's mind was - was his friend coerced?

He silently grabbed Luo Guanlin's arm and asked with his eyes.

At that moment, Luo Guanlin could only say good things for Chang Suining against his will: "...... Wangshan, from the very beginning, Chang Assassin Shi saved me, and faked the illusion of *** death for me, changed my identity for me, and left me in the Assassin's Mansion."

Chang Suining showed a kind smile at the right time.

Wang Yue could only stiffly squeeze out a smile in response, and then continued to hold this stiff smile and asked his friend, "Such a big deal...... Why didn't you mention it in your letter?"

Luo Guanlin: "I didn't have time to elaborate."

Wang Yue's smile became more and more stiff, writing such a thing, and "didn't have time"? What's the matter, his brush caught fire when he was writing a letter? Or is the knife holder on the neck?

Fake, all fake!

Obviously, he is the one who is "sold"!

And while "selling" him, you have to guard against him!

With such dedication, it can be seen that it is indeed not coerced, it is willing!

After the old master died, he voted for the new master, this surnamed Luo refused to be idle for a moment, and there was no empty window at all!

Wang Yue was angry and anxious, he wanted to escape, but in the face of the girl's smiling face, he didn't dare to move, it felt like being stared at by a fierce beast, he dared to run, and the other party dared to tear him to pieces more than the pasted noodles that his old mother had been in the pot for too long.

"Don't panic, sir, I have no ill will towards him." Chang Suining found a chair to sit down at random, raised his hand to signal everyone to sit, and said, "It was Mr. Luo who strongly recommended Mr. to me, so I asked Mr. Luo to write to invite Mr. to Jiangdu as a guest."

Wang Yue could only raise his hand slightly restrained and salute, and then sat down.

Chang Sui Ning asked in a casual tone, "What are the two gentlemen talking about?"

Luo Guanlin: "I'm talking about King Yue."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Yue.

Wang Yue scolded him again in his heart.

"Li Su, the king of Yue." Chang Sui Ning said: "As far as I know, the biggest strength of this person is to listen to persuasion."

Wang Yue looked at her hesitantly.

He also heard her say, "But he will listen to anyone's advice, he is too unassertive, and sometimes he will change his actions every day."

Luo Guanlin also looked at Chang Suining, how could she say as if she knew King Yue very well?

"Such people are difficult to achieve great things, and they are very easy to be deceived and taken advantage of." Chang Sui Ning said to Wang Yue in a pertinent tone: "If Mr. is involved in his mansion and wants to make a difference, he must not only convince him in case of trouble, but also suppress all the subordinate officials under him, if not, he is destined to have difficult ambitions, will this be what Mr. wants?"

Wang Yue's heart fluctuated, and he didn't dare to show too much.

I heard Chang Suining continue: "Again, this time the Japanese are forced to be in the situation, I will take Jiangdu as the leader, and work with the coastal states to clean up the coastal defense, train the sailors, and exchange news in various sea areas. But only the king of Yue thinks very highly of himself, never follows him, shirks his responsibilities many times, guards himself in Yuezhou, and hoards soldiers and horses——"

She said: "And the movement of Yuezhou will definitely attract the suspicion of the Son of Heaven, in order to take the lead, the king of Yue will not only start an incident, but also will soon start an incident, in such a short period of time, it is difficult for him to have a detailed plan, the foundation is not solid, how can he talk about an expedition? Therefore, I judged that he was destined to be difficult to achieve great things. If he chooses to follow, not only will his ambition be difficult to fulfill, but his life may soon be in danger."

Hearing this, Wang Yue looked at the young assassin again, and there was already a different emotion in his eyes.

Her voice has the clarity and clarity of a girl's character, but when it comes to these political situations, she thinks clearly and firmly, without a word of nonsense, and every word goes straight to the point...... In just a few words, she had already decided that King Yue, who had not yet had time to make trouble, would be defeated.

If the king of Yue knew that there was a seventeen-year-old girl who had made up his mind about his future at this time, I don't know how he would feel?

Wang Yue thought wildly, he didn't know what King Yue felt, but his feelings were...... This assassin is really very unusual.
