It was raining when the imperial envoy arrived in Jincheng.
The air was hazy with rain and fog. Lu Yinli lifted the curtain of the carriage, and his entire face was instantly covered with wet vapor.
He looked into the distance and saw the grass was continuous, but when he looked closer it was sparse and scattered.
On the tall city wall, the word "Jincheng" was blurred in the drifting rain and was almost invisible.
As soon as I arrived at the city gate, someone came to greet me.
Lu Yinli waved his hand, refusing the luxurious mansion arranged by Zhou Hui, and asked the coachman to drive the carriage into a simple alley.
There happened to be an inn nearby that suited his taste.
The tall locust tree outside the inn was washed green by the rain. He felt happy looking at it and said to the driver, "Let's stop here."
Then he got off the carriage with his aide Sun Shucan.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a familiar figure.
He asked in surprise: "Xu Xingzhi?"
Xu Xingzhi looked up, also with a look of surprise: "Are you the imperial envoy of the court?"
Lu Yinli nodded.
The two of them had similar personalities and had the same teacher, so they could be considered classmates.
Lu Yinli saw the tall man beside Xu Xingzhi and said respectfully, "This must be the former Duke Ding's son, Gu Wei. I'm Lu Yinli, nice to meet you."
Gu Wei responded with a smile.
After some greetings, Lu Yinli entered the inn.
Gu Wei looked at Lu Yinli's back with a deep gaze, and said in a calm voice: "You have a good eye for people. Lu Yinli is a man worthy of us giving Qinglong Mountain to him."
Xu Xingzhi nodded, "I think he came to Jincheng not only for the goddess, but also for other purposes. I'm afraid the water in Jincheng is going to be muddy."
Gu Wei thought of the young man in Wutong Alley and spoke meaningfully.
“It’s just karma.”
———
The prefect's residence.
Zhou Hui frowned as he listened to the news from the servants. "Why is Lu Yinli pretending to be so noble? I was kind enough to arrange a place for him to live, but you are giving me such a big show of power?"
Zhou Peng replied: "Sir, Lu Yinli is a very honest person, but he has a bad temper. Everyone says he is a piece of stinky stone. There is no need to be angry with him."
Zhou Hui snorted coldly and accidentally pulled the wound on his chest where Chen Daoyu had hit him, grimacing in pain.
After Zhou Peng left.
Zhou Hui sent the people beside him and said coldly, "Follow him."
———
Wutong Alley.
Gu Wei and Yu Yichou sat opposite each other.
Yu Yichou placed a thick stack of papers next to Gu Wei.
"Lu Yinli has arrived. It's time to close the net."
Gu Wei flipped through it and praised: "It is very sufficient. It can indeed convict Zhou Hui. But it will be difficult to dig out the person behind him."
Yu Yichou looked determined: "I will definitely find it out."
Gu Wei looked at the table and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Do you think we look a bit alike?"
Yu Yichou nodded, "I found it, and your mother and my mother are very similar."
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows. Could it be that Yu Yichou was one of his distant relatives?
This is such a coincidence.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of the door opening.
"Yu Yichou, are you home?"
A female voice came from the door.
Yu Yichou and Gu Wei both widened their eyes.
Xie Ling?!
Gu Wei used his Qinggong skills to fly up to the osmanthus tree.
Yu Yichou was about to remind her when he found that Xie Ling had already walked in.
The words "Danger in the tree" were stuck in my throat.
Yu Yichou looked at Xie Ling with a guilty look on his face, "Why are you here? Didn't you distribute medicine today?"
Xie Ling shook her head. "Yes, I want to ask you, if the imperial envoy comes to me, what should I say to benefit you?"
Gu Wei was standing between two tree forks at this moment, with a sharp blade next to his eyes and the blade under his crotch only a finger's distance away from him.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise he would have almost been extinct!
Why did Yu Yichou hang so many blades on the trees?
Despite this, Gu Wei still secretly peeked at Xie Ling through the layers of leaves.
I thought to myself that my wife, even her head was so different from the others.
Under the tree.
Yu Yichou exclaimed, "Is that so? Just go there directly, and I will teach you then. Is there anything else?"
Xie Ling nodded, "Okay."
After saying that, Xie Ling looked a little puzzled, "Why are you acting so strange today?"
It was as if he couldn't wait to get her away!
She glanced around and asked, "Is there a mistress hidden in this house?"
Gu Wei's forehead was covered with black lines...
She would think of hiding a beautiful woman in a golden house.
Yu Yichou quickly denied it, "How is that possible? Am I that kind of person? There is absolutely no one hiding in my house, absolutely!"
This is a case of trying to cover up one's own mistake.
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows in understanding and patted Yu Yichou on the shoulder: "It's okay. Even a hero can be tempted by beauty. You are not a child anymore. After you have avenged yourself, you can consider your lifelong affairs. Send a letter to Lingnan on the day of the wedding, and I will give you a big gift."
At this moment, many images of Nianniangjiangjiang appeared in Xie Ling's mind.
His eyes swept across Yu Yichou's collar.
Look, the clothes are so messy!
I came at a really bad time.
After saying this, he slipped away, showing great consideration.
Yu Yichou looked embarrassed.
Gu Wei jumped down from the tree with a dark face.
Later, when Xie Ling found out about this, she gave Gu Wei a nickname.
Jiaojiao, the eight-foot-tall little Jiaojiao.
Especially in bed, I like to call him Jiaojiao the most.
