Chapter 118 Unexpected joy(1/2)
Lu An showed a puzzled expression to Li Li.
Li Li immediately explained: "During the day, there are many people and eyes. Now there are countless people paying attention to the young master in this Guofeng City. If you go to the city lord's mansion rashly in broad daylight, it will probably cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, there are many actions in the well mansion now. If you go to the night, it will naturally be a little better. The most important thing now is that you don't know what the city lord's mansion's attitude is, and maybe there is still some danger."
Lu An smiled silently, "Dangerous? I dared to kill Liang Hanshui. Afterwards, the city lord's mansion did not react at all. It was probably because of some consideration, otherwise I would have been corpse somewhere else these days."
Li Li nodded after hearing this, and then asked back, "Does the young master still have a trump card in his hand?"
Lu An looked at Li Li without answering.
Li Li also realized that his words were abrupt and laughed awkwardly, "I'm rude."
Lu An waved his hand and signaled Li Li to continue.
Li Li drank a cup of tea, "The Jingfu has been contacting several other forces these days. Although Yu Gongzi's existence is still not afraid to do anything extraordinary to Jingda, the small friction has become increasingly fierce recently. To put it bluntly, Jingda has been isolated by the entire Guofeng City. All forces have begun to target Jingda's Changshui Gang and Qing Gang. I think something big will happen sooner or later."
"Is it so serious?" Lu An asked back.
Li Li nodded, "This is why I want the young master to go to the city lord's mansion, because they are so quiet and don't care about anything. It's really hard to understand."
"It seems that we have to fight with them again. The people in the Jing Mansion are really not a good thing." Lu An cursed.
"No, no, young master, if you can let the city lord's mansion stand on the side of Jingda, then everything will be ruined. The people who are now rushing with Jingda's mansion will definitely not be willing to go against the city lord's mansion. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, then in the end, it will become a matter between Jingda and Jingda. Then choose a suitable time to throw out the Jingshuihe and Qinlun. How many people are willing to follow Jingda at that time? In this way, this matter will be much easier to deal with." Li Li said dryly and took another sip of tea.
After hearing this, Lu An kept nodding, "What the sir said makes a lot of sense, I'll go tonight."
"Young Master, you have a good rest first and let Jing Da go and say hello to you first. After all, it is the city lord's mansion, so you still have to pay attention." Li Li suggested.
"That's thank you sir." Lu An nodded.
late at night.
"Young Master, let's go." Jing Ming said respectfully.
Lu An looked at him uneasyly several times.
Jing Ming's attitude towards Lu An became extremely respectful at some point, which was completely different from the previous one. This sudden change made Lu An a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Jing, you don't have to be so arrogant, it's normal." Lu An mentioned.
Jing Ming shook his head firmly and said respectfully: "Young master, go quickly, 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 and Lu An walked around the dark street, and finally walked around an alley.
Although Lu An trusted Jing Ming very much, he still had some questions about this route and asked in confusion: "Why go to such a place?"
Jing Ming turned around and bowed and replied, "Young Master, I have investigated this route specifically. No one can know our movements. Master Li told me that he didn't want to be too eye-catching for the time being, so I found such a way."
After listening to Jing Ming's explanation, Lu An could only nod and continue to move forward with Jing Ming. Then the two of them flipped into a yard and then moved from a restaurant. After a long time, they finally arrived at a door and found that someone was already waiting there.
"Young Master, here is the back door of the city lord's mansion. This is Lord Li who is here to pick us up." Jing Ming said to Lu An.
Lu An nodded.
The Lord Li looked at Lu An and bowed respectfully. Seeing this, Lu An quickly returned the gift.
"Young Master Lu, please come here, the city lord is already waiting for you." After saying that, Lord Li turned sideways to show his way.
Lu An glanced at Jing Ming.
Jing Ming nodded, "Young Master, I'll be waiting for you here."
Lu An nodded and then walked in with Lord Li.
After walking two steps, Lord Li started talking to Lu An, "Young Master Lu, what tea do you want to drink later?"
When Lu An heard this question, he didn't react at once. He was stunned for a few moments and quickly replied: "Let's green tea."
Lord Li smiled and nodded, "The taste of the young master and the city lord are the same. There is a batch of new tea in the mansion called Qingfeng Green Tea. It tastes great and is also the favorite of the city lord."
Lu An's eyes lit up. He had heard of this tea and nodded.
"Mr. Li, I would like to ask for advice. I have just arrived in Guofeng City for a few days. I don't know the name of the city lord Gao?" Lu An asked.
"The city lord is named Li Mu." Lord Li replied immediately.
Lu An nodded, and then Lord Li took Lu An to a room, "Mr. Lu, wait for a moment, the city lord will arrive soon, I'll make tea for you."
Lu An thanked him, and then began to observe the room. It should be Li Mu's study. It was decorated very simple and even a bit cold, with a desk, bookshelf, a set of standard armor, two chairs, and then there was nothing else.
Lu An was a little puzzled why he chose the place where he met. Lu An obviously saw a book spread out on his desk.
Just as Lu An was confused, a voice came from behind, "Lu An?"
Lu An quickly stood up, bowed with his fists, and asked, "Master Lord?"
Li Mu nodded, signaled Lu An to sit down, then walked in and sat in the main seat.
At this time, Lord Li, holding two cups of tea, walked in, put down the tea, and then retreated.
Li Mu picked up the teacup, took two sips, showing a satisfied expression.
At this time, Lu An also began to observe Li Mu. He was wearing a blue shirt, his long hair was scattered casually, and his face was stubble. He was so thin that the blue shirt looked a little big, and a strong sense of scholarly aura came to his face, especially his deep eyes, which gave people a sentimental feeling. With that outfit, Li Mu gave people a decadent feeling. Such a person was actually the lord of this national style city?
"Don't you drink tea?" Li Mu looked at Lu An in confusion.
Lu An came to his senses, quickly picked up the teacup, blew it, took a sip, and then looked at Li Mu with a smile.
"Ninth place in the white list, that's a real genius. Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Li Mu suddenly said.
Lu An thought about it, but he still stopped beating and asked directly: "Do you know Jingshuihe?"
When Li Mu heard the words Jing Shuihe, his whole body changed suddenly. He was a little surprised. His decadent eyes suddenly became solemn, and he asked back: "I know, he is my sworn brother, what about?"
"Does the city lord know that he is dead?" Lu An continued to ask.
Li Mu nodded, "I know, so what?"
"Does the city lord know how he died?" Lu An asked immediately.
Li Mu paused for a moment and replied, "I don't know very well."
Lu An seemed very surprised at this answer, but he also felt that it was reasonable, "Does the city lord know his son Jing Ming?"
Li Mu nodded.
"Does the city lord know his current situation?" Lu An asked.
Li Mu replied: "I know, I have sent someone to help him with the trouble several times."
"Why didn't the city lord go to help before?" Lu An asked the biggest doubt in his heart.
"You are here to ask this today?" Li Mu said weakly and even a little disappointed.
Lu An nodded.
Li Mu shook his head in disappointment, sighed, and looked at Lu An and said lightly: "You disappointed me very much. I indulged you for so many days, but you didn't understand anything. You even went to Jingfu to do such a thing."
After hearing this, Lu An's eyes changed when he looked at Li Mu, and he was so blank that he didn't know how to speak.
"Since Jing Ming left Jing Mansion, I have been watching him and knowing that he wants to take revenge and take back everything he belongs to me. I will let him do it. I just need to protect him from his death." Li Mu continued.
"But I still don't understand why you want to protect him?" Lu An still asked this.
"What is your purpose in coming today?" Li Mu did not answer this question, but asked back.
Lu An thought for a while, but did not answer, but asked a question he was most worried about, "Who is it that kills Jingshuihe?"
Li Mu did not answer, picked up the teacup and started drinking tea.
Lu An felt the whole atmosphere suddenly become cold, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart, but he could only pretend to be calm and took the teacup and took a sip.
The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything. 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 country-style city?"
Lu An replied a little embarrassedly: "City Lord, I have only been here for a few days, and I haven't even visited this Guofeng City yet. It's hard to say it's good or bad."
"It's because you haven't stayed for a few days that you asked you this question. Otherwise, if you stay for a long time, you will get used to it and you won't be able to tell whether it's good or bad." Li Mu replied lightly.
Lu An nodded, thinking that this was very reasonable, he thought for a while, and replied: "It's disorderly and orderly."
Li Mu laughed out loud and pointed at Lu An with a laugh and cry, "A genius on the white list can even flatter you."
Lu An smiled awkwardly.
"Chaos are orderly? Chaos means chaos. How can there be order? In recent years, I have basically ignored the things in this city because of certain things in recent years, and let them do whatever they want. As long as the foundation of the city is not shaken, I will follow them. Just like Qingfeng Green Tea, only I have it here. I can drink it if I want to drink it, but if you want to drink it, it depends on whether I want to drink it for you." 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 too happy too early. I haven't figured out how to do this. Let's do it today. I'll talk to you in a few days. I'll think about how to drink this tea to make it taste good. Since you can come to see me on your own initiative, you still have to give me this little face."
Lu An was stunned for a moment and quickly stood up to salute, "Thank you for this cup of tea by the city lord."
"Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank you yourself. This place is the Han Dynasty after all. Oh, by the way, although that thing is very stupid, the Hanshui of Liang of the Great Zhou Dynasty was well killed." After saying that, Li Mu waved his hand and signaled that Lu An could leave.
Lu An immediately took his leave and returned with Lord Li.
After Lu An left, Li Mu got up and walked to the edge of the armor, gently stroked it with an extremely nostalgic look, and sighed, "Brother Shui, I'm sorry for you."
"Mr. Li, I want to ask a question." Lu An suddenly asked.
"Mr. Lu, may I ask." Lord Li replied respectfully.
