Chapter 18: The King of the Northwest

When I returned to my residence, it was late at night, and there were only patrolling guards in the palace. When he opened the door, he saw a young girl sitting at a table in the house, and by the moonlight outside, he could see that this person was smoking.

Lu Yunli asked, "Why did Miss Yiyan come to me late at night?"

Yiyan: "How's the dude?"

Lu Yunli: "He was already asleep, in Old Man Tian's house, he was drunk, and I helped him to bed." ”

Yiyan: "Xie Lu Gongzi." As he spoke, he got up and saluted Lu Yunli.

Lu Yunli: "It's all a gesture, the girl doesn't have to care, if you need my help in the future, just come to me." ”

Yiyan: "Gongzi Xie Lu, knowing that he is relieved to rest." With that, turning around and going out, Lu Yunli watched Yiyan leave, knowing that she cared about Hua Feihua very much, and felt a little comforted in his heart.

When I got back to the house, I lay on my back on the bed, tired and fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, I turned over and got out of bed, washed up, and walked to the Beiling King's room. Seeing that the king of Beiling was awake, half-lying on the bed, his face was like ashes, his eyes were not like the sharp eyes that Lu Yunli had seen when he first entered the palace, the two maids were waiting by his side, and the military doctor was decocting medicine outside. Lu Yunli greeted the King of Beiling.

Seeing that it was Lu Yunli who came in, King Beiling hurriedly asked, "When will the teacher and his wife be buried?"

Lu Yunli: "Yesterday, Hua Feihua and I had already buried Mr. Tian and Yu in the back of their hut. The coffins and steles used are all good, please rest assured. ”

King Beiling let out a long sigh and closed his eyes. Kong Hao worshipped Tian Zihua as a teacher when he was seven years old, but he got along for more than 30 years but ended up like this.

Lu Yunli saw that the King of Beiling did not speak, and continued: "The Son of Heaven of Jincheng is still more than ten days away, I want to go to Yancheng again, buy some fresh game and come back to prepare." ”

King Beiling slowly opened his eyes, looked at Lu Yunli, and looked at it for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "The matter has come to this, and I no longer regret the past that cannot be changed." When you go to Yancheng, you have to be careful of Wu Tian's Northwest Army, none of the spies I let out come back to report the news, and they are all dead outside for fear of death. Bring back the best ingredients without danger. Go ahead. ”

Lu Yunli received the order, retreated, returned to his room to pack his bags, put ink on his back, went to the treasury to take out two thousand taels of silver, and led a fast horse out of the palace. First go to Tian Zihua's house to see the flowers and non-flowers, only to see that the seats and beds in the house are neatly made, and I don't know what is stewed in the pot.

After going out to the detour house, I saw Hua Feihua planting trees next to the graves of Tian Zihua, Yu and their son Tian Shou.

Lu Yunli walked in, didn't speak or help, just watched. Hua Feihua saw Lu Yun leaving, and said hello, without asking him for help. Just say, "You're going out again?"

Lu Yunli: "Go to Yancheng." ”

Hua Feihua still kept her head down and worked: "Pay attention to safety." ”

Lu Yunli turned over and went straight to Yancheng.

When I arrived in Yancheng, it was already dusk, and it was still the same scene here, with lively streets, crowded crowds, and businessmen coming and going.

Lu Yun had some doubts, there was such a big battle that night, and the people and merchants here didn't seem to know it, and they were not affected in the slightest.

Riding a horse straight to the inn last time, coming from all directions, asking the shopkeeper to settle the horses and then going to the last Xian Julai, or that seat, or that time. I don't know why I came here again, is it to see Wu Xiaofei, I don't know.

Lu Yunli sat there in a daze, Xiao Er brought the menu, ordered two dishes at random, and asked for a pot full of red wine. gave Xiao Er some loose silver, and Xiao Er happily prepared wine and food. After a while, the wine and food were all ready, Lu Yunli ate a mouthful of wine and a mouthful of food, and sure enough, the more he ate alone, the more tasteless he felt. I haven't eaten a few bites, I only feel that my limbs are a little numb, and I feel bad in my heart, I just want to get up and vomit the food in my stomach, only to feel that the world is spinning in front of me, holding the corner of the table with both hands, my eyes are black, and I fell to the ground with a "plop".

I don't know how long I was in a coma, and when I woke up, I only saw a pair of anxious eyes staring at him, it was Wu Xiaofei. Looking around again, he was in a wide room, the room was brightly lit, there were five people, sitting in the middle was Wu Tian, the king of the northwest, and Wu Xiaofei was in front of him. There are three others who have never seen it, looking at the clothes, two porters are dressed up, and one scholar is dressed as about forty years old, and these people are all looking at Lu Yunli. Especially the scholar, with small eyes, rosacea, and obscene appearance, always looked at Lu Yunli with a smile.

Lu Yunli struggled to stand up, but he was weak, his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't stand up after struggling a few times.

Wu Xiaofei stepped forward to help Lu Yunli get up, and Lu Yunli reluctantly got up, leaning his back against the wall to support. thanked Wu Xiaofei and said to Wu Tian, the king of the northwest: "What do you have to tell Lord Wu to call me?" Lu Yunli was fascinated by this for no reason, and he was angry, but for the sake of Wu Xiaofei saving himself, he suppressed his anger.

Wu Tian laughed, his laughter was loud and loud, and he said to Lu Yunli: "Sure enough, he is a brave young hero, at this age, he killed the Blue Wolf King with the strength of one person, disintegrated the Blue Wolf Country and made it infighting, and attracted the Son of Heaven of Jincheng to come to conquer the Blue Wolf Country in person." But I don't know if you calculated that I would kill me halfway?"

Lu Yunli had gradually regained his strength at this time, and stood up straight and said, "I'm not worried about anyone at all. ”

Wu Tian: "Please advise." ”

Lu Yunli: "The army of the Son of Heaven of Jincheng has 100,000 elite soldiers, led by the general Lan Ji, Lord Wu sent up to 100,000 troops this time, and the troops are evenly matched, but how about Lord Wu and Lan Jibi? ”

Wu Tian: "The analysis is good, but it's a pity that the world has mistaken me Wu Tian." ”

Lu Yunli asked, "Doesn't Lord Wu want to replace the Son of Heaven?"

Wu Tian: "The Son of Heaven should have sat in the center and ruled the eight directions. Now he is so happy, he personally sent troops to pacify the blue wolf country, how do you know that the Son of Heaven went on an expedition, and the officials received him along the way, he was extremely poor and luxurious, and it was still the people who suffered. If the Son of Heaven really went to the front to participate in the war, the war would become a show of quick success. ”

Lu Yunli didn't expect that Wu Tian, the traitor rumored by the world, would say such a thing, and sighed: "It's a pity that the Son of Heaven decided to go on the expedition, even if Lord Wu defeated the King of Beiling, he would still take over the battle." It's only my fault, for my own personal vendetta, causing the world to suffer. ”

Wu Tian: "It's not that the overall situation has been decided, but that someone is secretly promoting this matter, and your killing of the Blue Wolf King Zabusu is just an excuse for these people to find, even if there is no such thing as you cutting Zabusu, they will use other incidents to disturb the world." ”

Lu Yunli: "There are rumors this time that the Son of Heaven of Jincheng is preparing to take the power of the King of the Northeast under his command in the name of crusading against the Blue Wolf King. What do you think?"

Wu Tian: "I have also heard about this matter, it's not that I'm suspicious, if the Son of Jincheng really has such a plan, then why did the news spread so quickly, and it spread to the whole country in just ten days, I think it's mostly fake." Its purpose is to pull the king of the Northeast into the water, and the world is in chaos, and this group of talents has an opportunity. ”

Lu Yunli: "Mu Liang, the king of the Northeast, has just inherited his father's position, and he is young, if he can't tell the situation, it is easy to be used. ”

Wu Tian: "I have already communicated with him, telling him to calmly analyze the situation and not be deceived. It's just that this letter of mine, I don't know if it works. Mr. Lu is decisive and calm in the face of trouble, and his mind is clear, whether he intends to come to our Northwest Army, he will definitely not treat you badly. ”

Lu Yunli: "It's not that I don't want to be under Lord Wu, it's just that my prodigal behavior is a prodigal son, and after a long time, Lord Wu will not be used to it." ”

Seeing that he refused, Wu Tian felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart, after all, as the commander of one party, his face was a little unbearable, and he said: "Since you don't come to my Northwest Army, I can't let you go easily." ”

Lu Yunli closed his eyes and was silent. Because he knew in his heart that even if he resisted, he had no chance of winning on his own.

Wu Xiaofei saw that the atmosphere was not right, and quietly said to the scholar: "Uncle Deng, everyone hasn't eaten at night, they must be hungry, I have already arranged the dishes, you go to eat first, and then discuss after eating, okay." ”

The scholar surnamed Deng looked at Wu Xiaofei with a smile and said, "Are you afraid that your father will kill you in anger." Wu Xiaofei immediately lowered his head, his cheeks crimson.

The scholar surnamed Deng said to Wu Tian: "Brother Wu, don't be angry, leave this matter to me, let's go eat first, I'm already hungry and can't stand." As he spoke, he urged the two porters and Wu Tian to go out.

Wu Tian gave the scholar face very much, and the four of them went out together. There were only two people left in the house, Wu Xiaofei looked at Lu Yunli and said, "My father is this temper, don't be angry, come with me to eat something, I'll send you back when you're full." ”

Lu Yun didn't say a word, and followed Wu Xiaofei out of the door.

Wu Xiaofei looked at Lu Yunli, who was a little depressed, but she didn't know how to comfort her, she had only learned martial arts and strategy over the years, but she didn't understand this tender side at all, her heart was anxious, but her eyes were red.

Lu Yunli is not a narrow-minded person, and he thinks it's not a big deal when he thinks about it. Looking at Wu Xiaofei again, his eyes were red, tears were rolling in his eyes, he panicked for a while, and comforted: "I'm not angry anymore, it's just that I was thinking about other things in my head just now." As he spoke, he smiled all over his face. I don't know why, I only laugh when Wu Xiaofei is around.

At this time, the two had already walked out of the door, and Lu Yunli realized that this was actually a large inn in Yancheng. And there was no one guarding the area, and there were no people who looked like troops coming in and out, although it was late at night, it was still so prosperous, and there were people in the streets. I immediately understood that these people seemed to be passers-by and merchants, but in fact, most of them were Wu Tian's subordinates, who usually pretended to be merchants. Yancheng itself is extremely large, there are no city walls, and the population is highly mobile, these characteristics are perfectly used by Wu Tian, even if there are spies from all walks of life infiltrating Yancheng, they will be easily caught.
