Chapter 118: Unexpected Joy

Lu An showed a puzzled expression at Li Li.

Li Li immediately explained: "There are many people in the daytime, and now there are countless people who pay attention to Gongzi in this national wind city, if you go to the city lord's mansion in broad daylight, I am afraid that it will cause unnecessary trouble, and now there are a lot of actions in this well mansion, if you go at night, it will naturally be slightly better, and the main thing now is that it is not clear what the attitude of the city lord's mansion is, maybe it is still a little dangerous." ”

Lu An smiled dumbly, "Dangerous, I even dared to kill Liang Hanshui, and the City Lord's Mansion didn't react at all afterwards, and Bacheng was also a little considered, otherwise I would have been elsewhere in the past few days." ”

Li Li also nodded when he heard this, and then asked rhetorically, "Does Childe still have a hole card in his hand?"

Lu An looked at Li Li and did not answer.

Li Li also realized that his words were abrupt, and laughed awkwardly, "The old man is rude." ”

Lu An waved his hand and motioned for Li Li to continue.

Li Li drank a cup of tea, "In the past few days, this Jingfu has begun to contact several other forces, although Yu Gongzi's existence, he still doesn't dare to do something out of the ordinary to Jingda, but this small friction has become more and more intense recently, to put it mildly, now Jingda has been isolated by the entire Guofeng City, and all forces have begun to target Jingda's Changshui Gang and Qinggang, I think sooner or later there will be a big incident." ”

"Is it so serious?" Lu An asked rhetorically.

Li Li nodded, "This is also why I want Gongzi to visit the City Lord's Mansion, because they are so quiet that they don't care about anything, it's really hard to figure out." ”

"It looks like we're going to have to fight them again, and the people of Najingfu are really not a good thing. Lu An cursed.

"No, no, son, if you can make the City Lord's Mansion stand on the side of Jingda, then everything will be self-defeating, and now the group of people who are jumping around with Jingfu will definitely not be willing to go against the City Lord's Mansion, since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, so in the end, it will become a matter of Jingfu and Jingda, and then choose a suitable time to throw out the matter of Jingshui River and Qin Lun, and how many people are still willing to follow Jingfu at that time? Li Li said that his mouth was dry, and he took another sip of tea.

After listening to this, Lu An kept nodding, "What Mr. said is very reasonable, I will go in the evening." ”

"Childe, you have a good rest first, let Jing Da go and say hello to you first, after all, it is the City Lord's Mansion, you still have to pay attention. Li Li suggested.

"That's hard sir. Lu An nodded.

Late at night.

"Childe, let's go. Jing Ming said respectfully.

Lu An looked at it several times uncomfortably.

Jing Ming's attitude towards Lu An has become unusually respectful at some point, which is completely different from before, and this sudden change makes Lu An a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Jing, you don't have to see the outside like this, it's just normal. Lu An mentioned.

Jing Ming shook his head firmly, and still said respectfully: "Childe, let's go, the city lord is waiting for you." ”

Lu An had no choice but to go with him, and then set off with Jing Ming.

Jing Ming took Lu An around the dark street, and finally went around into a small alley.

Although Lu An trusted Jing Ming very much, he still had some doubts about this route, and asked puzzledly: "Why do you take this kind of place?"

Jing Ming turned around, bowed and replied: "Childe, this route has been specially investigated by me, and absolutely no one can know our movements. ”

After listening to Jing Ming's explanation, Lu An could only nod and continue to follow Jing Ming, and then the two of them turned into a courtyard, and then turned into a restaurant, and finally arrived at a door after a long time, and found that a person was already waiting there.

"Childe, here, this is the back door of the City Lord's Mansion, and this is Lord Li who came to pick us up. Jing Ming said to Lu An.

Lu An nodded.

That Master Li looked at Lu An and saluted with his fists very respectfully, and Lu An hurriedly returned the salute when he saw this.

"Young Master Lu, please come here, the city lord is already waiting for you. After Master Li finished speaking, he turned sideways and pointed the way.

Lu An glanced at Jing Ming.

Jing Ming nodded, "Childe, I'll wait for you here." ”

Lu An nodded, and then walked in with Master Li.

As soon as he took two steps, this Master Li began to talk to Lu An, "Young Master Lu, what kind of tea do you want to drink later?"

When Lu An heard this question, he didn't react for a moment, he was stunned twice, and hurriedly replied: "Green tea." ”

Lord Li smiled and nodded, "The taste of the prince and the city lord is the same, and there happens to be a batch of new tea in the house, called Qingfeng Green Tea, which tastes excellent and is also the city lord's favorite." ”

Lu An's eyes lit up, he had heard of this tea, and nodded.

"Lord Li, I would like to ask for advice, I have just been in Guofeng City for a few days, and I don't know the city lord's surname?" asked Lu An.

"The city lord's name is Li Mu. Master Li immediately replied.

Lu An nodded, and then Master Li took Lu An to a room, "Young Master Lu, wait a while, the city lord will be here soon, and I will make you tea." ”

Lu An thanked him, and then began to observe this room, it should be Li Mu's study, the decoration is very simple, it can even be said to be a little cold, desk, bookshelves, a set of standard armor, two chairs, and then there is nothing else.

Lu An was a little puzzled why he chose the place to meet here, and Lu An obviously saw a book spread out on the desk.

Just when Lu An was puzzled, a voice came from behind him, "Lu An?"

Lu An hurriedly got up, clasped his fists and saluted, and asked, "Lord of the City?"

Li Mu nodded, motioned for Lu An to sit down, and then walked in and sat down on the main seat.

At this time, Master Li, holding two cups of tea, walked in, put down the tea, and then retreated.

Li Mu picked up the teacup and took two sips, revealing a satisfied expression.

At this time, Lu An also began to observe Li Mu, dressed in a green shirt, his long hair was spread out very casually, his face was stubble, and the whole person was very thin, so that this green shirt looked a little big, and a thick bookish anger came to his face, especially those deep eyes, giving people a feeling of sentimentality, with that outfit, this Li Mu gave people a sense of decadence, such a person turned out to be the city lord of this country's wind city?

"Don't you drink tea?" Li Mu looked at Lu An puzzled.

Lu An came back to his senses, quickly picked up the teacup, blew it, took a sip, and then looked at Li Mu with a smile.

"Ninth on the white list, that's a real genius, say, what's the matter with me?" Li Mu said suddenly.

Lu An thought about it, but he still didn't finish his thoughts, and asked directly: "I don't know if the city lord knows Jingshui River?"

When Li Mu heard the three words Jingshuihe, his whole person suddenly changed, a little surprised, his eyes, which were still very decadent just now, suddenly became solemn, and he asked rhetorically: "I know, he is my sworn brother, and then what?"

"Does the city lord know that he's dead?" Lu An continued to ask.

Li Mu nodded, "You know, so what?"

"Does the city lord know how he died?" Lu An then asked.

Li Mu paused for a moment and replied, "It's not very clear. ”

Lu An was very surprised by this answer, but he felt that it was reasonable, "Does the city lord know about his son Jing Ming?"

Li Mu nodded.

"Does the City Lord know about his current situation?" asked Lu An.

Li Mu replied: "I know, I also sent someone to help him deal with the trouble a few times. ”

"Then why didn't the city lord help before?" Lu An asked the biggest doubt in his heart.

"That's what you're here to ask about today?" Li Mu said weakly, even a little disappointed.

Lu An nodded.

Li Mu shook his head in disappointment, sighed, looked at Lu An and said lightly: "You disappointed me very much, I have indulged you for so many days, but you didn't understand anything, and you went to Jingfu to make such a thing smart." ”

After hearing this, Lu An's eyes changed when he looked at Li Mu, and he was stunned and didn't know how to speak.

"Jing Ming has been watching him since he left the Jing Mansion, and I know that he wants revenge and wants to take back everything that belongs to him, so I let him toss, I just want him to die. Li Mu continued.

"But I still don't understand, why do you want to protect him?" Lu An still asked.

"What is the purpose of your coming here today?" Li Mu did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically.

Lu An thought for a while, and did not answer, but asked a question that he was most worried about, "Then, which side can kill Jingshui River?"

Li Mu didn't answer, picked up the teacup, and began to drink tea.

Lu An felt that the whole atmosphere was instantly cold, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he could only pretend to be calm and take a sip of the teacup.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't make a sound, and they each drank tea for a while.

Li Mu suddenly put down the teacup and asked with a smile, "Lu An, what do you think of my national wind city?"

Lu An replied a little embarrassed: "City Lord, I've only been here for a few days, and I haven't even traveled to this National Wind City, so it's hard to say whether it's good or bad." ”

"It's because you haven't stayed for a few days that I asked you like this, otherwise if you stay for a long time, you won't get used to it, and you won't be able to see the good and the bad. Li Mu replied lightly.

Lu An nodded, felt that this was very reasonable, thought for a while, and replied: "Chaotic and orderly." ”

Li Mu laughed out loud, and pointed at Lu An with a smile, "The genius on the white list can even pat on the back. ”

Lu An smiled awkwardly.

"Chaos and order, chaos is chaos, how to order this said, I have been in the past few years because of some things, basically ignore the things in the city, let them mess around at will, as long as they do not shake the foundation of the city, I will follow them, just like this Qingfeng green tea, only I have here, I can drink if I want to, but if you want to drink, it depends on whether I am willing to give you a drink. Li Mu sighed and said.

When Lu An heard this, a smile appeared between his eyebrows.

Seeing Lu An's expression, Li Mu hurriedly said: "Don't be happy too early, I haven't thought about what to do about this matter, let's do this today, I'll talk to you in a few days, I want to think about how this tea should be drunk, since you can take the initiative to see me, this face still has to be given." ”

Lu An was stunned, and hurriedly got up and saluted, "Thank you for this cup of tea, Lord City." ”

"Don't thank me, thank yourself if you want to thank yourself, after all, this is the Han Dynasty, oh yes, although that thing was done very stupidly, but that Great Zhou Liang Hanshui killed well. After Li Mu finished speaking, he waved his hand directly, signaling that Lu An could go.

Lu An immediately retreated and followed the Master Li back the same way.

After Lu An left, Li Mu got up and walked to the side of the armor, gently stroked it with an extremely nostalgic look, and sighed, "Brother Shui, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Master Li, I would like to ask a question. Lu An asked suddenly.

"Young Master Lu, excuse me. Master Li replied respectfully.

"I want to ask, what did the city lord do before?" Lu An asked.

This Master Li smiled slightly, and replied: "The city lord has been in this country wind city for ten years, before he was the deputy general of the Sword Seal Battalion, and he entered the Sword Seal Camp since he was a child and stayed for many years. ”

Lu An was puzzled for a while, it turned out to be a military general, but looking at Li Mu's current appearance, how could he have half of the appearance of a military general, and then asked another question, "What about the relationship between the city lord and Jingshuihe?"

Lord Li smiled and shook his head, "I don't know about this, anyway, since I followed the city lord, they have been called brothers." ”

Lu An nodded with a smile and thanked him.

Then the two continued to chat for a while until they sent Lu An out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Immediately, Jing Ming and Lu An returned the same way and returned to the inn.

Li Li was still sitting and drinking tea at such a late hour, and Wei Yang was also accompanying him, and when he saw that the two of them were back, he got up directly to greet them.

"Childe, are you back, are you okay?" Wei Yang said happily.

"Let Childe sit down and talk. Li Li said.

Lu An smiled at Wei Yang, and then sat down.

"Childe, how is it?" Li Li asked, and Jing Ming on the other side also looked at Lu An expectantly.

"It's okay, the city lord has always been aware of this matter, otherwise you would have died a long time ago. After Lu An said this, he smiled at Jing Ming.

Jing Ming smiled awkwardly.

"What about the follow-up?" asked Li Li with concern.

"Follow-up? The follow-up is waiting, there will be movement in the near future, and I haven't told me exactly how to do it for the time being. Lu An replied.

Li Li comprehended and congratulated Jing Ming: "Jing Da, congratulations, it seems that your return to Jing Mansion is just around the corner." ”

Jing Ming looked puzzled, but when he heard this, the whole person became excited, and quickly got up and wanted to kneel down in front of Lu An.

Lu An quickly pulled Jing Ming up directly, and complained to Li Li: "What are you talking about? It's still early." ”

Li Li made a gesture and slapped himself in the mouth, and said with a dry smile: "It's all my fault for this mouth, hehehe." ”

"It's a little clearer, but don't be too happy too soon before it's over. Lu An admonished.

Jing Ming nodded.

Then the four of them went back to their houses.

Lu An took out the Liangyi stone and shook it again and again in his hand.
