The mansion of the Nie City Lord is located in the southwest corner of Yulin City, the gate of the mansion is heavily guarded, and three or five strong men are standing at the door with guns, with a grim expression on their faces, and there seems to be a faint murderous aura in their eyes.

Different from Pan's Mansion, Nie's Mansion is quite gorgeous, looking from the door, the buildings inside are blue bricks and blue tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, very magnificent.

A young man dressed in a light blue coat, with thin eyebrows and a square face, is polite. Although it was almost November, he was holding a gold-painted folding fan in his hand, which looked very dignified and elegant.

I saw him walking in a hurry, walking briskly in the crowd, with an anxious look on his face, and only stopped when he arrived at the gate of Nie's mansion, he raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the plaque on the door of the mansion, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, hesitated slightly, and walked in.

The guards at the door seemed to be very respectful of this man, bowed their heads to him slightly, and did not stop him, and the young man also bowed politely in return.

Following a corridor to the right of the gate, there is a long path. There are bamboo forests on both sides of the path, and in the depths of the bamboo forest, there is a bamboo house, lonely at the end of the road, reflecting the surrounding environment, but it seems to feel quite clean.

At the door of the Jingshe stood two guards in light yellow clothes, and these yellow clothes could tell that these two people were the personal guards of the Nie City Lord.

Seeing the young man coming over in a hurry, one of them greeted him with a smile and said lightly: "Strategist, the city lord of Nie has been waiting for you in the 'Jingxin Pavilion' for a long time, please come with me." ”

This young man is the military advisor of Yulin City, Hou Qingyu.

Hou Qingyu bowed slightly, followed behind the guard, and walked towards the house.

"Squeak-" The door to the house was pushed open.

The yellow-clothed guard led Hou Qingyu into the house, then retreated and closed the door.

It was not the first time Hou Qingyu had come to the Meditation Pavilion, as soon as he entered the door, he was familiar with a dark environment, for some reason, the scorching sun outside the house was overhead, and the sky was clear, but the gentle sunlight did not shine into this small bamboo door at all.

The area of the bamboo door is not large, and Hou Qingyu knows that this is the place where the city lord of Nie rests. Reflecting the dim candlelight, Hou Qingyu saw a middle-aged man sitting alone in the hall at the moment, he was wearing a fiery red cotton robe draped over his body, which was very conspicuous, with strong sword eyebrows, eyes like stars, long black hair draped behind him, and a thick beard hanging down his chest under his lips.

The moment the door was pushed open, a glimmer of light shone through the crack in the door, and it was just the moment that he was sitting alone in a chair, sipping a cup of tea.

"Ka ......" The middle-aged man in the fiery red robe let out a gentle and satisfied sound of tea sipping. He didn't look up at Hou Qingyu, but while drinking tea, he said to himself: "How are things going?"

Hou Qingyu slowly walked to the center of the hall, his face was pale, and there seemed to be a faint sense of guilt in his eyes, he didn't answer immediately when he heard the words, as if he was considering the words, and said after a while: "City Lord, Pan Gongzi has a lot of prestige in Yulin City, and if he does this, he is afraid that it will cause public anger, can I ask the city lord to think twice?"

The middle-aged man who was drinking tea by himself, that is, the city lord of Nie, his expression changed when he heard this, and he looked at him, as if he was a little annoyed, he threw the teacup in his hand to the ground, and the teacup was torn apart, and the tea was poured on the ground.

His pair of fiery eyes looked at Hou Qingyu coldly, Hou Qingyu's body was shocking, he bowed his hand, his eyes drooped, and he avoided the Nie City Lord's eyes that seemed to be about to take away the soul.

City Lord Nie got up slowly, looked at Hou Qingyu directly, his face was cold, and said slowly, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

Hou Qingyuwu lowered his head, arched his hands, and was silent.

City Lord Nie looked at him for a long time, then walked to the window, turned his back to Hou Qingyu, and said slowly: "Pan Xincheng has been friends with me for many years, I know this person's nature very well, how can he shake his heart by shaking his lips and tongue? If this person is not removed, many innocent people will inevitably be implicated." Don't you really understand?"

Hou Qingyu's face hesitated, hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "What the city master taught is that Pan Gongzi is very knowledgeable, if he acts rashly, in case of a mistake, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of inconvenience." Can you please give the city lord a few more days to think about a foolproof plan?"

"Hmph!" the city lord of Nie sneered, and said with his hand: "How many days have I given you a perfect plan? You know, if Emperor Xuan starts a fire, we will all die without a place to bury!"

Hou Qingyu straightened up, walked behind the city lord of Nie, and said in a low voice: "Emperor Xuan just wants a 'unicorn', and he doesn't ask us to kill innocents, Pan Gongzi is indeed an innocent person, please see Pan Gongzi's merits for many years, and open up to him!"

City Lord Nie turned around and glanced at Hou Qingyu, sighed slowly, and said faintly: "How can I not know? When the city lord Nie said this, his words suddenly turned cold, and he said slowly: "But if he doesn't die, with his temperament, who will move the Qilinzi again? If the stalemate continues, Emperor Xuan will be angry, and the people of this city will definitely be harmed." What if then?"

Hou Qingyu's face was unbearable, and he said quietly: "City Lord, can you go to Pan Mansion again, tell everything about the matter, and weigh the pros and cons, Pan Gongzi is frank and righteous, maybe he will hand over the Qilinzi." ”

"Innocent!" City Lord Nie sneered, faced out the window, and said coldly: "If Pan Xincheng knew the reason for this, he would definitely sacrifice his life to protect the Qilinzi, Emperor Xuan's power is unfathomable, and it is not yet known whether he will break through the 'Eight Realms', how can a Pan Xincheng be able to resist it?

Hou Qingyu's face was pale, and he didn't know what to say.

The city lord of Nie sighed slowly, raised his head and said: "I have tried many times, Pan Xincheng has not said anything about the identity and origin of this unicorn, which shows his heart, where is there room for negotiation?"

Hou Qingyu's brows furrowed, he groaned for a while, and said, "What the city lord said is extremely true, and Prince Pan will definitely be so decisive." There's a plan in the future, but I wonder if it's feasible?"

City Lord Nie's eyes flashed, he turned to look at him, and asked directly, "What is the good policy?" ”

Hou Qingyu paused and said, "Fortunately, the Qilinzi has not undergone any changes at present, and its strange spells cannot be used for the time being. The city lord can find a reason to send Pan Gongzi out of the city, and after he leaves, I will make a small plan to capture the Qilinzi and hand it over to Emperor Xuan first. ”

The city lord of Nie stroked his long beard, his face was cloudy, he slowly walked to the chair and sat down, his eyes wandered, he muttered for a long time, suddenly stroked his palm, and laughed: "Good strategy, good plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! The military advisor is worthy of being the barrier of Yulin City, admire, admire!"

"The city lord has a reputation!" Hou Qingyu bowed his hand to thank him, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

The Nie City Lord looked at it in his eyes and said straightly, "What's wrong?"

Hou Qingyu looked at the city lord of Nie and said truthfully: "It's just this 'trick to tune the tiger', but the 'bait' is a headache, right now Yulin City is in a state of flux for hundreds of miles, but Pan Gongzi has nowhere to send it." ”

The city lord of Nie stroked his beard and smiled, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, the old man has his own way to do this." ”

Hou Qingyu looked at Nie City Lord Chengzhu in his chest, couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously: "Really, please show the City Lord." ”

Nie City Lord stroked his long beard, he waved his hand slightly, motioned for Hou Qingyu to sit down, Hou Qingyu understood, sat down beside him, Nie City Lord took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Hou Qingyu, and said lightly: "Please take a look at the military advisor." ”

Hou Qingyu took the envelope with both hands, only to see the two big words "invitation" written on the envelope, he frowned slightly, raised his eyes and glanced at the city lord of Nie, only to see that there seemed to be a faint glimmer of light in the deep eyes of the city lord of Nie, which made him curious, he opened the envelope and looked straight down.

Hou Qingyu carefully looked at a page of letterhead, there were many words on it, and he didn't know what was written on it, but he saw that his expression seemed to change faintly with the content of the letter, and when he finished reading the last word, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but put a smile on his mouth.

"That's very good!The city lord wants to ......" Hou Qingyu slapped the letter on the coffee table and smiled at the city lord Nie.

"Not bad" Nie City Lord interrupted him, laughed twice, suddenly stood up, walked a few steps forward with his hands, and said faintly: "In three days, it will be the 100th birthday of Xie Yuanzhong, the owner of Yijian Villa, the old man has a very good relationship with him, he received an invitation a few days ago, and the old man can reply to him with a letter, saying that he is sick in bed, and he is not allowed to travel far, and he congratulates his cronies instead, so that your plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, isn't there no shortage of east wind?"

Hou Qingyu nodded slightly, pondered for a while, got up and arched his hand: "Nie City Lord is far-sighted, I admire it!"

City Lord Nie turned around and waved his hand slightly, hesitated for a moment, his face suddenly became solemn, and said, "There is one more thing you must remember." ”

Hou Qingyu looked at the city lord Nie and said in a low voice, "Please show the city lord." ”

The city lord of Nie pondered for a moment, and paced with his hands in his hands: "The Pan Mansion is full of people, and regarding the capture of the Qilinzi, you must be cautious, find out where to live, and then send people with close cronies to act at night. Don't leak the news, you know, if Pan Xincheng starts a fire, I'm afraid that even I am not his opponent. ”

Hou Qingyu hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and then said to the Nie City Lord: "Thank you City Lord for your warning, you should keep it in mind when you make up your mind." ”

The city lord Nie turned to look at Hou Qingyu, smiled softly, waved his hand and said, "The military advisor doesn't need to be polite, please sit down, taste the tea that Emperor Xuan gave to the old man, it is really refreshing and refreshing!" After that, he poured a cup of tea for Hou Qingyu.

Hou Qingyu arched his hand and smiled: "Thank you City Lord." ”
