first minister

Chapter 108
The doubts of the two are not pretending, they really don't know.

Although the matter of Su Yuanshang had been concluded more than ten days ago by the brothers of the Su family, it was far from being spread among ordinary people;

Qingshan County may have changed to a new prefect at this time, but they have already left Qingshan County;

It was supposed to be the most likely to know about this in Sujiawu yesterday, but the two of them stayed together for too short a time, and they encountered an accident with the Patriarch, and did not attend any gatherings, so they missed the news.

Surprise is more real.

Especially from Xia Jingyun's point of view, Su Yuanshang is definitely a capable minister, and with the big tree of the Su family as his backer, this kind of people should be state shepherds or court ministers in the future. How could they be deprived of their official positions and sent to prison all of a sudden!

"You don't have to doubt it, this matter is no longer a secret among the senior members of the Su family, and it will soon be known to everyone."

Xia Jingyun frowned, "Since that's the case, why did you come here? To tell us the ins and outs of this matter?"

Lu Yi shook his head, "I know that the two young masters are both dragons and phoenixes, and they also have friendship with Mr. Su. On the last night in Qingshan County, Mr. Su had a candle-lit night talk with the two young masters. I think Mr. Su recognized the character and talents of the two young masters. Therefore, I would like to ask the two young masters for a favor."

Xia Jingyun said: "Let's listen."

"Before Mr. Su went to prison, he handed over a person to me for protection. I would like to trouble the two of you to protect her for a while."

Bai Yunbian sneered, "Uncle Su Shi handed over someone to you, but you want to hand it over to me. Is this what a gentleman does?"

Lu Yi's expression was calm, "I'm going to kill a lot of people tonight, but I may also be killed, so I can't guarantee that I can protect her well."

Seeing Lu Yi say such words so calmly, Bai Yunbian finally came to his senses and couldn't help his eyelids twitching.

This also allowed Lu Yi to find someone who could really make up his mind. He looked at Xia Jingyun, "If I don't die after tonight, I will pick her up. If I die after tonight, please find a safe place for her to live in. For the rest of my life, I will let her resign to fate."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and put them on the table.

Bai Yun picked it up and counted it, his eyes widened, "1 taels? Just give it to us, aren't you afraid we'll take the money and run away?"

Lu Yi was still calm, "Those who live our days are always willing to gamble and admit defeat. Moreover, I have nowhere to go to beg you, so I can only put on a good posture."

Xia Jingyun looked Lu Yi up and down, and suddenly said: "Your Excellency is the talker of Yueyang's underground world?"

"The speaker? That's a good idea." Lu Yi thought about it seriously, "Not yet, but if there are no accidents, it will be after tonight."

"What happened?"

"That's a dead body on a mass grave."

Xia Jingyun nodded, "We helped with this matter. You can send the person here later."

Bai Yunbian immediately turned his head to look at Xia Jingyun, "Yanzu!"

Xia Jingyun pretended he didn't see it, and looked straight at Lu Yi, "As you said just now, Mr. Su thinks highly of the two of us. You treat me with sincerity, and I return it with sincerity. This is where the loyalty of a person lies. Scholars of my generation will not be less loyal than you Jianghu people."

What he said made Lu's eyes bright, "Master Su is right, the two young masters are the most righteous people I have ever seen in my life!"

Don't say high righteousness, this word is not very good.
At this time Xia Jingyun seemed to come back to his senses, looked at Baiyun, "Master Bai, what did you call me just now?"

Bai Yunbian opened his mouth, "My lord is saying, don't wait later, send it now! To avoid long nights and dreams."

Lu Yi took out a note and a key, "That's not necessary, I placed her in a house that only I know, the place is on this note, if I can't come by tomorrow morning, I will trouble you both."

Xia Jingyun reached out to take it, "What about you? Shall I collect your corpse or something? After all, we meet again."

Bai Yunbian couldn't help but feel a little nervous after hearing this, this person looks like a gangster, isn't he afraid of making people angry by saying such unlucky words now?

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lu Yi actually smiled for the first time after entering the room, "That's not necessary, everyone is dead, it's the same everywhere. If it's really a meeting, why don't I treat you two to a bar."

Xia Jingyun also laughed, "Don't you have a big fight tonight?"

Lu Yi opened his mouth and said: "In other places, you can't drink well or sleep well. Please trouble the two young masters to accompany me, a little man, to have a drink, and then borrow a bed to sleep, so that I will be refreshed tonight."

Xia Jingyun felt that this was a wonderful person, so he nodded in agreement.

So the three of them ordered food and drinks directly from the inn, and set up a posture in the room, drinking one cup at a time.

Bai Yunbian followed the two cup after cup in a daze, feeling extremely absurd at the same time, but also inexplicably felt a kind of pleasure that he had never had before.

That is a kind of pleasure and freedom that belong to the children of the rivers and lakes.

He has neither heard nor seen;
Xia Jingyun has never met it before, but he has seen it and yearned for it;

Two aristocrats, one quack, after drinking this cup, and another cup, they gradually became intoxicated.

At the wine table, Xia Jingyun really wanted to ask why Su Yuanshang stepped down, and also wanted to ask Lu Yi what relationship he had with Su Yuanshang, but looking at this man who seemed to be drinking with a glass of alcohol, he grew up surrounded by gangster movies, and he could feel the deep loneliness of the other party, and thinking of the big battle tonight that might never come back, he didn't say anything, just accompanied the drink silently.

This attitude made Lu Yi happier, more appreciative, and more grateful.

So, he raised his glass faster.

I don't know how much I drank, Lu Yi suddenly poured a glass of wine, "Young Master Yun, I have to sleep after drinking this glass, otherwise this may be the last glass of wine in my life."

Xia Jingyun nodded, raised his cup, and touched it lightly.

"Go to sleep in my bed."

Lu Yi drank the wine in his glass, "Thank you!"

After saying that, he took off his boots and went to bed without hesitation, and lay on Xia Jingyun's bed, and snoring started after a while.

As for the little boy by the side of the white cloud, he fell down as early as halfway through the drinking party, and was helped back by his beautiful maid with a distressed expression.

Xia Jingyun smiled slightly, poured himself another glass, and sipped it slowly.

The so-called, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch.

The Su family's control over Yueyang is definitely far more than that of the imperial court.

Lu Yi is Yue Yang's gray talker, so naturally, he must be a subordinate of someone from the Su family.

Lu Yi is going to dominate Yueyang's underground rivers and lakes tonight, which means that due to the accident of the head of the Su family, mutual strife has begun.

The Su family is in chaos.

Is this your plan?Miss Su?
Holding his wine glass, he looked in the direction of Sujiawu.

The sun that was already in the middle of the sky gradually slanted to the west, the people on the street gradually thinned out, and the shops became quiet after being bustling.

The shopkeeper and the shop assistant moved the door panel together to block the shop tightly.

The street became completely empty and dead silent.

It seems that the people in the whole city have been pulled away and turned into a dead city.

The wind did not know which alley it started to blow, rolling up fallen leaves.

They whimpered through the narrow passages and crevices.

The whimpers gradually gathered together, like the horn of a battle.

Lu Yi suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

"You're awake." Xia Jingyun rubbed his tired eyes.

"I should go." Lu Yi put on his boots, full of energy.

"I'll see you off!" Xia Jingyun stretched out his hand to hold Lu Yi's arm.

Lu Yi hesitated for a moment, but without struggling, the two of them walked out of the room slowly, went downstairs, and walked to the door of the inn.

In the inn, the shopkeeper who also received the news closed the door early and hid in the room with the guys.

When he was called out to open the door, when he saw Lu Yi, his expression suddenly changed, and he came up to greet him with a trembling voice, "Master Lu!"

Lu nodded, "Please open the door for me."

Lu glanced at the hand holding his wrist, "I have to go."

Xia Jingyun said: "Don't die, I still have a lot to ask you!"

"I know, so thank you."

He glanced at the hand on his wrist again, "I really have to go."

Xia Jingyun let go of his arms, "Be careful of those around you."

Lu Yi was shocked, and was silent for a moment, "Let's go."

Xia Jingyun suddenly said: "If I want to take a look, is there any safe place?"

"The top floor of Kuixing Building, if you can go up."

Lu Yi's voice came from the wind, "You still have half an hour."

Xia Jingyun immediately turned around and rushed to the room beside the white clouds.

Half an hour later, standing on the roof of Kuixing Building, Xia Jingyun happened to see a long street in front of him.

At one end of the long street, a large number of people with sharp knives poured out.

Dressed in black, they blended perfectly into the darkness. Only the sharp blades in their hands, like the bloodthirsty fangs of a murderer in the forest, shone coldly under the moonlight.

On the other side of the long street, there was only one person standing.

With two knives on his waist and a spear in his hand, Lu Yi stood quietly.

He was dressed in gray clothes, just like him, standing between black and white, simple and unadorned.

The wind was whistling, urging the people at both ends to add a touch of bright blood to this cold and depressing winter.

As a result, the people on the other side of the long street moved, and their silent steps stepped on the stone slabs, like a hammer hitting a drum, like rain hitting a plantain, dense and hurried.

Lu Yi also moved, he dragged the spear with his right hand, the tip of the spear rubbed a string of sparks on the bluestone board.

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides was only more than twenty steps.

Lu Yi tapped his toes to the ground suddenly, twisted his waist and swung his arms, and the spear in his hand pierced the wind, drawing a circular arc full of tyranny in the air, like a dragon entering the sea, and with majestic vigor, he slammed into the crowd rushing in front of him in an instant.
