Entering April, the weather is not so cold, but the morning breeze still has some coolness on people's bodies.

Early in the morning, Dao Lin took Xiao Ru to the City Lord's Mansion, where Xiao Ru has lived for more than ten years, and is very familiar with every grass and tree here.

The two came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and looking at the guards standing guard on the nine steps, Xiaoru was a little timid.

Dowling gently pinched Xiaoru's shoulder as a gesture of comfort, and then walked towards the steps.

Seeing someone approaching, one of the guards immediately greeted him.

"Miss Ru, you're back!" Obviously, this guard knew Xiao Ru.

Xiao Ru nodded, she pointed to Dowling beside her and said, "This is Dowling."

Dao Lin arched his hand and said, "Please report to Li Shuai, and say that Lin wants to see you."

Hearing the name of Daolin, the guard was stunned for a moment, this name is now like thunder in the Burning Sun Empire, and today it can be regarded as seeing this seat.

"Please wait a moment!" The guards left, and after explaining to the other guards, they ran towards the city lord's mansion.

After a while, a young man walked out with the guards, this was also an acquaintance, it was Li Hexuan, the young marshal of the Li family.

"What kind of wind blew you here, what a rare guest..." Li Hexuan greeted Dao Lin warmly, and then glanced at Xiao Ru and didn't say anything.

"There's nothing to ask Li Shuai for, you can take me to see him quickly." Dowling said with a smile.

"Follow me!" Li Hexuan nodded and led the way in front, and the three of them walked into the Dragon City City Lord's Mansion.

Dao Lin has been here more than once, and it seems that Li Hexuan brought him here last time he came in.

"You brought me in last time, right?" Dowling spoke.

"yes... A year has passed since you said this, and you are no longer the nobody, but now you are the strongest of the young generation in the whole empire, and I am still eating dust behind you." Li Hexuan laughed at himself.

Dowling said modestly: "I'm just a little lucky, we take different paths, in the future, this east will be your helmsman sooner or later, no matter how strong I am, I have to listen to you."

"Brother Dao laughed, if one day you marry Princess Qianxue, you will be a concubine, a relative of the emperor, and our Li family will have to worry about you to take care of it." Li Hexuan put his posture very low, and the title changed from you to you.

"Let's help each other and protect the eastern part of the empire together, and we will be at our disposal at any time." Dowling doesn't drag it out, and still talks about identity.

While talking, the three of them had already come to the restaurant, and Li Hexuan opened the curtain to invite the two of them in.

In the restaurant, there were many people besides Li Junjie, but most of them didn't recognize Daolin, Li Hexuan's father got up and nodded at Daolin, and then motioned for Daolin to take a seat.

Fauber brought bowls and chopsticks to Dowling.

Dowling sat down and saw that Xiaoru was still standing behind him and didn't move, so he directly reached out and pulled her over and let her sit beside him.

The faces of the Li family were a little stunned at this scene, their expressions were seen by Dao Lin, and Xindao Xiaoru should not have had a good time in the Li family back then.

At this time, Fu Bo brought a set of chopsticks again and put it in front of Xiao Ru, who lowered her head a little stiffly.

….

"Li Shuai's body is still strong?" Dao Lin glanced at Xiao Ru's dishes and chopsticks, and only then did a smile appear on his face, he looked at Li Junjie and asked.

"Thanks to you, my body is still strong." Li Junjie said with a smile.

"Everyone, please continue to eat, the two of us have breakfast." Dowling pushed the chopsticks in front of him forward a little and said.

Li Junjie nodded and motioned for everyone to continue eating, the scene suddenly became a little cold, and there was no other sound in the room except for the sound of eating.

Dowling smiled and took out his pipe, added a pot of tobacco to himself, lit it and smoked it, and under the green smoke, his face was a little hazy.

I don't know if it's because of the taste of tobacco or because the Li family is full, they all put down the dishes and chopsticks one by one.

Li Junjie picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped his mouth

Then he said, "I haven't seen Xiaoyou for a long time, let's move to the study and talk about it."

Dowling nodded, slammed his burned tobacco on the table, and stood up.

Xiao Ru also hurriedly lowered her head and stood up.

"You keep eating, and my little friend and I will go first." Li Junjie said softly, and then walked around the dining table with his hands behind his back and walked out of the door.

Dowling took Xiaoru to follow him, all the way through the back garden, and the three of them didn't say a word until they entered the study before Li Junjie spoke.

"Why did you busy man suddenly remember to come and see my old bone?"

Li Junjie asked as he began to busily make tea.

"I've come here to ask for something!" Dowling arched his hand towards Li Junjie and said.

"It's not outside, it's not like it's going to be there, and I'm going to say something directly." Li Junjie said as he put the tea leaves into the boiling water.

"I was in the imperial capital some time ago, you should also know that the emperor wants me to cooperate with you to protect the eastern gateway of the empire, so why don't I come over and ask you to see how I can cooperate with you?" Dowling said it very politely.

Li Junjie didn't reply, he kept playing with the tea leaves with the bamboo clip, and after a long time, he picked up the tea cup on the side and put it in front of Daolin, then glanced at Xiaoru and gave her one.

Dao Lin always looked at Li Junjie, he knew that Li Junjie was thinking of countermeasures, after all, what he said just now was equivalent to using the name of the emperor to suppress him, which made him a little passive.

"How are you going?" Li Junjie picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Dao Lin and Xiao Ru before asking.

"I'm a cook, I still have to listen to Li Shuai, and I ask Li Shuai to teach me!" Dowling tapped his fingers on the table in respect.

"This is actually very simple, you just need to take care of your own career, this east gate is up to my Li family, how embarrassed is it to let your young master bother."

Li Junjie's words directly made it clear that this eastern part is still his Li family, no matter how Dao Lin gives the emperor a guarantee, as long as the emperor does not have a clear order, his Li family will definitely not divide the resources of his own east to Dao Lin.

"Li Shuai really loves the kid, I'm afraid that the kid will work hard, and the kid is grateful!" Dowling hugged his fist towards Li Junjie with a smile on his face.

"You kid... Go ahead! What the hell is going on?" Li Junjie picked up the teacup and took a sip and asked.

"I want you to ask for a piece of land, or a mountain to be exact!" Dowling said softly.

Li Junjie's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and then gently put the teacup on the table.

"What do you want the mountains to do?" Li Junjie asked.

"There are more and more people around me, and if I want to start a sect, if it weren't for the fact that so many masters would be too wasteful, we could also cultivate talents for our empire and the east." Dowling said with a smile.

"Which mountain? I can't give it to Doom Mountain!" Li Junjie said in a deep voice, he knew the grievances between Zen Master Baimei and Daolin, and he was afraid that Daolin would mention the matter of Doe Mountain with him.

"It's this mountain!" Dowling stood up and walked to the wall, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a point on the map of Emperor Blazing Sun.

The moment Li Junjie's fingers fell, his face changed slightly.
