At night, the Gu family's mansion.

Gu Junye withdrew his confidants and walked into the room alone, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Ou Zhiqiu habitually sitting in the shadow of the backlight.

After stepping forward to greet him, he sat down opposite Ou Zhiqiu, and then asked with concern: "Lord Ou, I don't know how the Lu family has reacted recently?" ”

Ou Zhiqiu yawned and said lazily: "Among the Lu family's nursing homes, someone went to Donghai Mansion, it should be to check the whereabouts of that Yun'er, and someone else is staring at your long-term follower in Taixing Mansion." As for Guangling's side, Lu Shen has already withdrawn the people who are following you, and I think he also realized that those people are not suitable for this. ”

Gu Junye breathed a long sigh of relief and said happily: "That's good, fortunately, Master Ou is in charge of the overall situation." ”

"Don't be too happy, those people in the Lu family are just making up the numbers, and it doesn't matter if they stare at it or not."

Ou Zhiqiu sneered lightly, then sat up straight, put his arms on the table, and said slowly: "Do you think that only the Lu family in this Guangling City will stare at you?" ”

Gu Junye was slightly stunned, and the words "Warp Weaving Division" suddenly popped out of his mind, shook his head and said, "My lord, how could the Warp Weaving Division bite the Gu family for no reason?" Over the years, the Gu family has been in one-line contact with you, except for the capital city Qu-"

"Shut up."

Ou Zhiqiu's eyes flashed with a fierce color, and he interrupted him mercilessly: "There are some things that rot in your stomach, and you can't say them in your dreams, otherwise you will be the only one who will die." ”

Scratched by his fierce gaze, Gu Junye only felt his heart tremble, his back was already dripping with cold sweat, and he nodded subconsciously: "Yes." ”

Ou Zhiqiu stared at him quietly for a moment, and then turned back to the previous topic: "These days, Lu Shen often goes to the Guangling Yamen of the Warp Weaving Division, and he almost does not hide his whereabouts. Even if our previous arrangement had been confusing to him, if he had taken the initiative to inform the Warp Weaver of these things, the people there would have quickly judged that this was a false trick. ”

Gu Junye couldn't help but say a little nervously: "But why does the Warp Weaving Division believe Lu Shen's words?" And the adults said that during this time, the Guangling Yamen should be rectified internally, and everything was in a mess, how could he take care of a hairy boy? ”

Ou Zhiqiu said coldly: "Who knows? Perhaps because of what happened last time, Su Yunqing appreciated this young man very much, recruited him into the warp weaving department, and even gave him an official to do. ”

Gu Junye felt that the other party was telling a joke, but the tone was not like it, so he didn't dare to speak.

Seeing this, Ou Zhiqiu slowed down and said, "I say this to tell you that there is no perfect solution in this world, let alone absolute security. The principle that the Prosecutor's Office has embraced for many years is that one cannot pin one's hopes on the stupidity of one's opponents. Therefore, we must prepare for the worst, that is, the warp weaver has set his sights on your Gu family, and it will not be long before he has his eyes on me. ”

Gu Junye had calmed down at this time, thought for a while and said, "What do you mean by your lordship, do you want to solve that incident as soon as possible?" ”

"That's right." Ou Zhiqiu nodded approvingly, and said: "The imperial court has been preparing for this battle for a long time, and the purpose is to capture Huaizhou. As long as you can do your best to cooperate, the Gu family will also have a place in the court in the future, what warp weaving division are you afraid of at that time? The first place to capture Huaizhou is to seize Guangling and cut off Xiao Wangzhi's supply of grain and grass. ”

Of course, Gu Junye understands the weight of these words, if Huaizhou can change its flag as Ou Zhiqiu said, then the Gu family will no longer have to worry day and night, and it will not be a problem to dominate the business community of Guangling and even Huaizhou with this credit.

The problem is that this is a deal of the Zhujiu clan, even if he and his father have gritted their teeth and recognized it, how could the distant clan who controls nearly half of the city defense of Guangling easily agree?

Ou Zhiqiu said lightly: "If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid there will be no chance when the warp weaving department comes to the door." ”

Gu Junye cautiously asked, "Lord Ou, there has always been a question in Xia, even if we can respond in the city, how can the army rush to the city of Guangling?" ”

The Panlong Pass and Lai'an defense lines firmly covered the entire Huaizhou, and the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion cut off the possibility of the Northern Yan warships going down the river, could it be that the army came from the sea?

If the north really has such a strong strength, why should the eyes be limited to Guangling, and go all the way south on the sea to smash Yongjia once and for all?

Ou Zhiqiu laughed inexplicably and said slowly: "This is not something you need to worry about. I know what you're worried about, if there is no accident, your wife and children from distant relatives will be taken away from Yongjia, go to Chengzhou and enter the territory of Shazhou Qibu, and then turn north. ”

Gu Junye's heart sank, knowing that he had no room for detours, he could only grit his teeth and say: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will have a few more days of grace, and it will be done in the future." ”

"If you have to take care of you, I will also have someone to assist you." Ou Zhiqiu smiled and gave the order to evict the guest, although he was only a guest here.

Before leaving, Gu Junye suddenly asked, "Dare to ask your lord, since you suspect that the warp weaver will notice the Gu family, why do you insist on living here?" ”

Ou Zhiqiu said lightly: "If I don't stay, can Gu Dashao and Ling Zun really rest assured?" ”

Gu Junye bowed, and then walked away.

The room was quiet, and Ou Zhiqiu looked at the gently flickering candle flame, and a resolute smile gradually appeared on his face.

……

Early the next morning, Lu Shen only drank half a bowl of porridge and hurried to the Dongcheng Courtyard.

Yesterday he returned to the Lu Mansion at night, and learned that Lin Xi had sent someone to invite him, thinking that it was too late to be inconvenient, and the woman said that everything was normal in the other courtyard, so she asked her to reply to the letter and go early this morning.

When he arrived at the courtyard accompanied by Li Chengen, Lin Xi was indeed dressed and waiting for him.

"Good morning, senior sister."

Lu Shen's opening remarks made Lin Xi feel a little fresh, and she said softly: "Good morning." ”

Lu Shen also found that Lin Xi had an advantage, his receptivity was relatively strong, such as the title of senior sister and junior brother he insisted on at the beginning. Or that she is more easy-going in many things and will not deliberately make some arguments.

"Senior brother, I have something to tell you."

The next moment, Lin Xi's tone became serious, and then he recounted Xi Jun's discovery yesterday, and did not hide Xi Jun's identity.

"Sure enough......," Lu Shen muttered.

Lin Xi walked to the table to hold the pot and pour tea, and immediately handed Lu Shen a cup: "Got in trouble?" ”

Lu Shen shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't know if it's a trouble." ”

The two sat opposite each other, and Lin Xi looked at him quietly, without asking or urging. Her intentions are obvious, Lu Shen is willing to say it, and if he doesn't want to, he will say it.

Lu Shen smiled reluctantly and slowly opened the conversation: "Senior sister may not know that when I returned from Pseudo Yan with the caravan, the Lu family fell into a small crime, so it was related to the Warp Weaving Division. ”

It's actually a long story.

Even though Lu Shen was very eloquent, he tried his best to delete those details, and by the time he talked about the meeting with Li Jin yesterday from the Panlong Pass search, more than half an hour had passed.

During this process, Lin Xi listened quietly and occasionally helped him add tea.

Lu Shen finally summed up simply: "I don't think it's clear why the pseudo-Yan Xi will kill a horse gun and return to Guangling. ”

The thought of that day popped up in Lin Xi's mind again, and she knew that this idea was very inappropriate, so she said softly: "Is it possible that the eagle dog of the Prosecutor's Office wants to cause sabotage in Guangling City?" ”

"I can't rule out this possibility, but-" Lu Shen frowned slightly, and sighed lightly: "If that's the case, the chief officer of the Pseudo-Yan Inspectorate Office can't tell the difference between priority and priority. First of all, they can't have too many people, and the damage they can do is limited, because in the early days of the war, the warp weaving department Su Jian Xiao had already launched a large-scale search and arrest all the objects of previous suspicion. ”

He stared into Lin Xi's eyes and continued: "In other words, the Inspector's Office that is still lurking in Huaizhou is basically a high-level personnel. Even if they are left alone, they will be of greater use in the future. As long as there is a big change in the situation of the war, such as the Lai'an defense line is breached, these people can deceive people everywhere and stir up the situation. ”

Lin Xi said apologetically: "I don't understand either, I'm sorry I can't help you." ”

This sentence made Lu Shen feel a warm current in his heart, and he said warmly: "Senior sister, where are you talking?" You have come here thousands of miles to pass on my martial arts, and I am very grateful in my heart. ”

Lin Xi didn't dwell on who was more important than his father's kindness, and said, "Why don't you ask Uncle Shi to help you analyze it?" My father once said that Ling Zun is a man of great wisdom. ”

Lu Shen said: "My father is not in Guangling, and I don't know when I will come back." After the outbreak of the border war, he took the shopkeeper to various places, pacified the people in various branches and cooperated with the government to stabilize prices, and now he should be in Qingliu Mansion. ”

"I see." Lin Xi nodded.

Lu Shen slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said in a deep voice: "Although I don't know what Pseudo Yan Xizuo wants to do, I decided to use the easiest way to break the situation." ”

Lin Xi looked at his bright eyes, and felt something: "You mean...... Hands-on? ”

"Yes." Lu Shen nodded without hesitation.

"When to do it?" Lin Xi paused slightly, and then explained: "Your realm is not high enough now, I am your senior sister, and I promised my father that I would protect you." ”

"Thank you."

This time, Lu Shen didn't bring a title, and then said: "This matter can't be hastily acted, I need a few days to plan and try to be as big as possible." ”

Lin Xi was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Senior brother, can I ask you why you took the initiative to get involved in this matter?" Although the warp weaving department has given you an official position, you can stay out of it. ”

"Stay out of the way?" Lu Shen's expression was extremely calm, and he shook his head and said: "If the pseudo-Yan Xizuo has a plan in Guangling City, the Lu family will not be able to stay out of the matter, even if they will not rush to the Lu family, the Gu family will definitely not miss this opportunity." I don't want my life to be in someone else's hands, so I have to do something. ”

Lin Xi looked at him steadily, and said with a shallow smile: "Okay, I'll help you." ”
