Lu An was sitting in the room at this time, his brows were kept locked, and he was holding a cup of tea in his hand, as if he was waking up at the bar.

It's just that Lu An really can't drink this tea, and the situation in Guofeng City makes Lu An a little incomprehensible, especially Li Mu's approach in Guofeng City is really confusing.

It makes sense to take Yu Linwei's gang over, but what he did with these people later made Lu An break out in a cold sweat.

It's really a little hard to figure out, now it's the Great Zhou Chaos, and the Han is honest and there is no chaos, why did Li Mu use such an extreme way?

Besides, it is still a question whether these people are truly obedient, and then Li Mu dared to let these people do this kind of thing, what Jing Ming was worried about was actually not unreasonable.

If these people turn against the water, the first person to die may be him, except for the City Lord's Mansion that can restrain them, who else in this country wind city has the ability to restrain them?

Anyway, Lu An doesn't see such a person now, and even if there is, it definitely doesn't include Jing Ming.

However, Lu An was more curious about why Li Mu wanted these people to do this kind of thing, there must be his reasons for this, but whether this reason was good or bad, Lu An really couldn't guess.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu An sighed heavily, feeling that there were a lot of entanglements in this, and it might even be a little more than the trouble on him.

Lu An drank the tea in the cup, and was about to pour another cup when there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Lu An immediately looked over, his eyes also shrunk, his face was solemn, someone approached, he didn't even notice it, which made Lu An feel a little surprised.

But then he breathed a sigh of relief, because he was looking through the window, and it was supposed to be an acquaintance, and he got up and opened the door.

Li Mu's subordinate, the one who had helped Lu An, Li Guan and Master Li, appeared at Lu An's door.

Lu An showed a look of surprise on his face, he never thought it would be this Lord Li, and after being stunned for a while, Lu An saluted slightly, "My lord, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Li Guan also returned the courtesy, smiled slightly, and said apologetically: "Gongzi Lu, don't come unharmed, I don't know if you have disturbed Gongzi so late?"

Lu An shook his head, then hurriedly welcomed Li Guan in, poured a cup of tea, and asked with a smile, "Master Li, how do you know that I am here?"

Childe laughed, as long as it was what happened in Guofeng City, there was nothing the city lord didn't know. Li Guan said a little modestly.

Lu An raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, and then silently did not speak, wanting Li Guan to continue.

Li Guan also continued in a timely manner: "Gongzi's visit to Guofeng City this time, to be honest, is still a bit risky, especially in the current situation. ”

Lu An suddenly asked suspiciously, "What does Master Li mean by this, and why do you say that?"

Li Guan suddenly sighed softly, and said with a complaining face: "Childe is now bearing the expectations of many people, it is true that he should not be so risky, and Childe, your current identity is still a little sensitive, when Childe's strength has not reached a certain level, you should not come to this kind of place, just like now, as soon as Childe moves, a lot of things are led behind it." ”

Lu An's eyes shrank again, looking at this Li Guan in front of him, with a strange look on his face, because what Li Guan said made Lu An feel too surprised.

Last time, this Lord Li didn't talk much except to lead the way, but this time, this Lord Li inevitably talked a little too much, right? Could it be that he was promoted? That's why he became so talkative.

"What does Master Li want to express when he says this?" asked Lu An directly.

Li Guan suddenly showed a shallow smile, exactly the same as his previous expression, but this smile seemed to be mixed with some other meanings, and said softly: "Son, you can't be rash, you have a lot of people's hopes on your shoulders, and Lord Xiao has taken a lot of responsibility for you." ”

"Lord Xiao, which Lord Xiao?" asked Lu An suspiciously.

Then Li Guan just silently looked at Lu An there and smiled.

Lu An suddenly stood up suddenly, and looked at Li Guan in disbelief, "How is it possible?"

Li Guan stretched out his hand and motioned for Lu An to sit down again, "There is nothing impossible, someone should have told Gongzi that Xiaoyao Pavilion is not a sect in the first place, anyone can become a member of it, and it doesn't necessarily need to do anything, just like me, in fact, I just have a name in it." ”

Lu An still had an expression of disbelief, and looked at Li Guan blankly, "How is it possible? If that's the case, then what about the city lord? Could it be that he is also from Xiaoyao Pavilion?"

Li Guan shook his head, "The city lord must not be a person from Xiaoyao Pavilion, he is a person from the Great Han." ”

"Then how could he allow you to become a member of the Escape Pavilion?" Lu An hurriedly asked.

Li Guan poured a cup of tea for Lu An, "You don't need to understand the reason for this, you just need to know that the two are not in conflict, if I am a person from Xiaoyao Pavilion, some things will become very convenient, if you must have a reason, you can understand that the city lord acquiesces." ”

Lu An exhaled, with a surprised expression on his face, and he didn't calm down for a long time.

"So Lord Li came here today to remind me of this?" Lu An asked slowly.

Li Guan shook his head and said softly: "If it was just to remind you of this matter, I would definitely not come here in person, the city lord and others want to see you, I came to invite you." ”

Lu An showed a hint of surprise on his face again, but it was fleeting, and he nodded, "I don't know if the city lord saw me, is there something wrong?"

Li Guan shook again

Shaking his head, "I can't figure out the thoughts of the city lord, maybe I just want to catch up with you, after all, you have disappeared for more than a year." ”

Lu An nodded expressionlessly, the question in his heart became bigger and bigger, he looked at Li Guan in front of him, and asked tentatively, "Master Li, there is something I want to ask you." ”

Li Guan nodded, "Childe, excuse me." ”

Lu An thought for a while and asked slowly, "Does the city lord have other thoughts about Jing Ming?"

Li Guan's brows furrowed directly, and he didn't understand what Lu An meant by asking, "Childe has something to say?"

Lu An didn't nod or shake his head, just looked at Li Guan quietly.

"Is it the city lord's recent arrangement of Jing Ming that makes Gongzi feel puzzling?" Li Guan asked directly.

Lu An didn't answer this, and then asked again, "This Jingfu is much more low-key than before, Jing Ming's life can be regarded as normal, and in two months, his child is about to be born, now he should be in the most cautious moment, right?"

These words directly made Li Guan's expression change, and his eyes when he looked at Lu An became solemn, "Childe, some things may not be what you see and hear, and many may have hidden secrets." ”

Lu An smiled and asked rhetorically: "What Lord Li said is that it's just that ordinary people's vision can't reach the vision of adults, let alone the vision of the city lord, so they will naturally want to be crooked, do you think what I said is right?"

Li Guan's brows trembled, and Lu An's slightly ridiculous words made him feel a little displeased, "Son, don't be rash, the overall situation is important." ”

Lu An continued to smile, "I don't care about the overall situation or anything, I just hope that in the end, Jing Ming will not be clear..."

Lu An didn't continue to say the last half of the sentence, but he believed that with Li Guan's ingenuity, he would definitely know what he wanted to say, and if he said this, it would be a bit raw.

Li Guan also understood Lu An's "ridicule", but he was not angry at all, and even had a hint of happiness, he looked at Lu An inexplicably and laughed, and then said softly: "Childe, your worries are a bit redundant, you can ask the city lord yourself when the time comes, I think he can answer you very well." ”

Lu An snorted, "If you don't say it, I'll ask it when the time comes." ”

Li Guan looked at the night and said, "It's almost time, we can go, the city lord is waiting for us." ”

Lu An snorted, and then followed Li Guan to move.

It was still a familiar road, but this time it was Li Guan who personally took Lu An to the City Lord's Mansion.

After entering through the side door, as before, Li Guan asked again, "What kind of tea will Childe and the others want to drink?"

Lu An casually said a Yunnan black tea.

Li Guan snorted, "Green tea disperses the smell of wine, and black tea raises the spirit." Then he led Lu An to the familiar study.

Lu An honestly sat there and waited for Li Mu.

As a result, after waiting for a while, Li Mu still did not appear, and even Li Guan, who was pouring tea, was the same, and the two seemed to have disappeared suddenly.

Lu An suddenly sneered, and an idea appeared in his mind, Li Guan must be reporting to Li Mu about him, right?

At this time, Li Mu and Li Guan walked in together, and Li Guan held a teapot and two teacups in his hand for the first time.

When Lu An saw Li Mu coming in, he immediately got up and saluted Li Mu.

Li Mu waved his hand and motioned for Lu An to sit down.

Lu An immediately sat down obediently, Li Mu also sat down, Li Guan poured a cup for each of them, and finally put down the teapot and exited first.

Then Li Mu and Lu An fell into a brief silence, and neither of them took the lead to speak.

Li Mu still looked a little decadent, wearing a simple robe, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and tilting his head to look at the armor on the side.

Lu An also raised his glass and took a sip lightly, and then put down the teacup, the rich tea flavor of the black tea made Lu An frown directly, and his spirit was lifted all of a sudden.

Li Mu put down the teacup in his hand in time and said slowly, "Is it bitter?"

Lu An nodded, "A little." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly, "Bitter and astringent, this is the taste of black tea, so I don't like to drink this kind of tea very much, or the tea fragrance of green tea is better." ”

Lu An didn't feel anything about this, and couldn't intuitively understand what Li Mu wanted to express, "City Lord, I don't drink much tea, so I can only feel if it's good or not, this black tea, to be honest, doesn't taste very good, but it feels pretty good to drink." ”

Li Mu sighed a little puzzled, and a shallow smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I can't see that you have a lot of potential." ”

Lu An drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, then poured himself a new cup, and by the way, he also poured half a cup for Li Mu.

"In fact, tea should not be divided into good and bad, a certain tea is good or bad is different from person to person, some people like it, some people don't like it, in fact, no matter how hard it is to drink a few more sips of tea, the tea taste will naturally fade, and it will not be bitter at that time. So this tea is not interesting to drink, whether it is sweet or bitter in the front, it will be tasteless in the end. Lu An shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Hearing what Lu An said, Li Mu felt a little surprised, he didn't expect Lu An to say such a thing that went straight to the avenue.

Looking at Li Mu's expression, Lu An was not surprised, and continued with a smile: "So I think this tea is boring to drink, or the wine is interesting, except that it is not very good to drink it, I can't find anything bad about the wine."

。 ”

Li Mu suddenly laughed, pointed at Lu An and scolded with a smile: "What are you pretending to be old at a young age, and after drinking wine for a year or two, you feel that the world is yours?"

Lu An suddenly felt a little embarrassed, being older was indeed Lu An's weakness, and he didn't even know what to say for a while.

Li Mu was still laughing, but after laughing twice, he suddenly coughed, and the coughing sound became more and more rapid, and even Li Mu's face turned red.

Lu An also saw that something was wrong with Li Mu, and when he was about to step forward, Li Mu directly waved his hand, took out a pill from his arms, then swallowed it, and hurriedly took a sip of tea, his expression instantly relaxed, and his cough stopped.

Lu An also breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, and after Li Mu slowed down for a while, Lu An cautiously asked, "City Lord, who are you?"

Li Mulian poured two cups of tea, drank them all, then exhaled and replied: "It's just an old problem, it's not a big problem." ”

Lu An doesn't think so, this old problem can make Li Mu like this, it is definitely not a simple small problem.

Li Mu used to be the deputy general of the Jianzhang Battalion, and in terms of official position, he was as big as Wei Wei, so compared to this strength, even if there is a gap, then at least there should be a five-grade right? Otherwise, no matter how bad it is, he won't be able to suppress the gang of people under him.

Now that a five-rank martial artist has been tossed like this by such an old problem, a small problem has become a big problem!

"City Lord, are you sure?, what you looked like just now..."Lu An asked again.

Li Mu frowned slightly, and repeated: "I said it's no problem. ”

Hearing this slightly cold tone, Lu An also closed his mouth directly and did not continue to ask.

Li Mu's expression returned to his former appearance at this moment, and he asked coldly, "What is the purpose of your visit this time?"

Lu An sat up straight, "City Lord, there is nowhere to go, so come here to take refuge." ”

Li Mu suddenly sneered, and asked rhetorically: "You are a fragrant bait now, everyone wants to find you, is it a little irrational for you to appear openly now?"

"That's why I'm coming to the city of the national wind. Lu An said sincerely.

Li Mu shook his head, "No, you came to the wrong place, now it's not as peaceful as you think." ”

"Is it because of those people from Yu Linwei?" Lu An asked directly.

Li Mu shook his head again, "No." ”

"No, then what's more?" Lu An asked with puzzlement, which was not a small difference from what he had thought before.

Li Mu glanced at Lu An, the expression on his face slowly became gloomy, first poured himself a cup of tea, found that the teapot was empty, and directly shouted softly, "Change the pot of tea." ”

Li Guan walked in directly from the door with a pot of tea, and then refilled a pot of tea.

This time it was the Qingfeng green tea that Li Mu liked, and he poured it directly for himself, took a sip, and his expression was extremely comfortable.

Then he continued to look at Lu An and said: "There are only a hundred or so people in Yu Linwei who have been incorporated in, although my country's Windy City is not big, counting the surrounding villages and towns, the population is eight or nine hundred thousand, if you count those people who pass by every day to do business, it adds up to a city of nearly one million people, do you think you will worry about these hundred or so people?"

Lu An was immediately stunned, as if this was indeed the case.

"Even if his number is multiplied several times, he is not afraid at all, and they can't stir up a wave at all. Li Mu continued.

"What did the city lord mean by the lack of peace just now?" Lu An asked humbly.

Li Mu's eyes twitched slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "You should know what I asked those people to do recently, right?"

Lu An snorted and nodded, "It seems that there is quite a big trouble, and there are people in the inn where I live who spread these things, and it is said that those people have contributed a lot." ”

Li Mu snorted, "It's nothing more than using their Da Zhou's knife to kill their Da Zhou's people." ”

"City Lord, are you referring to the fact that those dead people are all spies lurking in from Da Zhou?" Lu An's tone was a little heavier.

"Sort of, some people are, some people simply have no choice but to let them go to the funeral together. Li Mu said in an extremely cold tone.

"Why?" Lu An asked directly, and there was a hint of anger on his face.

Li Mu smiled lightly, "No, because they have a reason why they have to die." ”

Lu An's brows tightened directly, the sound of exhalation became louder, the whole person trembled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Really?"

"Really!" Li Mu replied with great confidence.

Lu An took two breaths and tried his best to calm down his emotions, but there was still a hint of doubt in his eyes when he looked at Li Mu.

"I won't go into detail with you, it has nothing to do with you, the less you know, the better. Li Mu emphasized again.

"What about Jing Ming? Is the city lord planning to use him as a scapegoat? The scapegoat for these things? The hundred or so people did these messy things, and finally after the matter was over, in order to give an explanation to the world, these people were naturally unloaded and killed donkeys, but there was still a lack of a weighty leader, so Jing Ming, who didn't know anything, happened to be this candidate, do you think I was right, city lord?" Lu An asked slowly.

Li Zheng listened with relish, and after Lu An finished speaking, he nodded with satisfaction, "This suggestion you gave me is very good, it just so happens that I am still thinking about how to deal with the world's investigation." ”

Lu An's eyes widened instantly, and he had a strange expression on his face.
