Evergreen Immortal

"People from the Wu Kingdom?"

Li Rui looked at the man from the Wu Kingdom with bronze skin and muscles like a horned dragon in front of him.

Then he looked at the girl from the Witch Kingdom behind him.

There wasn't much panic on his face.

Tan Hu next to him looked excited.

‘You really get whatever you want! ’

He had long wanted to fight with the Wu people, and today he actually showed up to them personally.

"Come on, let's have a fight!"

Tan Hu's eyes were full of fighting spirit, like a tiger about to pounce on food.

Just about to take off.

He was interrupted by Li Rui's words: "Huzi, forget it, you can't beat him."

Hear the words.

Tan Hu was immediately discouraged and asked unwillingly: "Brother Li, you didn't even fight, how can you be sure that I can't fight?"

Li Rui still looked calm:

"Rank 5, are you sure you can beat me?"

Tan Hu suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the man from the Wu Kingdom in front of him: "Fifth grade?"

You know, there are not many fifth-grade people in the entire Qinghe.

The man from the Wu Kingdom in front of him turned out to be a martial arts master comparable to Cao Wei.

When Dao Mo heard Li Rui's words, he looked interested: "How does Mr. Li know my realm?"

Li Rui chuckled:

"Of course Master Xu told me, Master Dao, in fact we really shouldn't meet."

The moment Dao Mo appeared, he had already recognized the other party's identity.

Because I know the details, I don't panic at all.

Dao Mo is the leader of the Wu Kingdom mission, and he is the one who least wants to cause trouble. Even if Li Rui wants to commit suicide today, I am afraid that the first person who does not want him to die is Dao Mo.

As for Dao Mo's realm, of course I learned about it during our chat yesterday.

He was an officer of the Yu Kingdom, and the other party was a "barbarian" from the Wu Kingdom. No matter how they met, something seemed wrong. That is to say, the Wu Kingdom had never invaded the border. Otherwise, this matter would have been enough to be regarded as treason by the Northwest Frontier Army.

Dao Mo was dumbfounded. At first, he thought Li Rui had some ability to attract people.

But Li Rui was able to say it outright, which still surprised him.

"This Yu State official is very thoughtful."

He just appeared and didn't even say much. His identity and intentions were already known by the other party.

Dao Mo cupped his fists apologetically:

"Master Li, there really is a reason for everything."

Li Rui raised his hand: "Well, since we've seen everything, let's listen. This is not the right place to talk. Just follow me."

Say it.

He led Tan Hu towards the alley where he came from.

The girl Xia Xiaotang obediently gave way.

Li Rui led the two Wu people around in the alley for a quarter of an hour, and finally walked into an abandoned house.

"Say it."

Dao Mo looked at the house.

I felt slightly surprised.

The Yu State official in front of him seemed to be very familiar with this city.

As everyone knows, Li Rui has lived in this city for more than fifty years

He had no intention of continuing to dwell on such minutiae, and said straight to the point: "Master Li, I think there are still not enough people to escort the Wu Kingdom business group."

"One hundred more people, please."

Tan Hu was the first to sit still and his eyes widened:

"You want two hundred people, the prince is traveling, such a big battle?"

Li Rui frowned slightly and did not refuse immediately:

"Master Dao, you have to give me a reason."

Only when the Wu Kingdom's business group crossed the Wu Kingdom's border did they need to be escorted by the Yu Kingdom's army. A hundred people were already large enough.

If the number of people increases to two hundred, then it won't be a problem of grand ostentation, and it might even cause criticism.

Dao Mo sighed softly.

He also knew that his request was somewhat unreasonable.

After thinking for a few breaths, he finally explained: "Master Li doesn't know something. Although the Wu Kingdom is in chaos, it still has powerful enemies watching. This time the two countries trade, there are many people who want to hinder it, including a few thieves. Party, they will most likely take action midway.”

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

Dao Mo's words were implicit enough.

Translated, it means that the new wizard emperor's younger brothers are going to cause trouble.

"It seems that the situation in Wu Kingdom is even more chaotic than imagined."

The news he has been hearing is that the new Witch King has ascended the throne, the Witch Kingdom has been settled, and in order to recuperate, they decided to open up mutual markets.

Dao Mo's mouth showed bitterness:

"I will go personally for the escort. I can handle it as a master, but the people in the caravan cannot make mistakes. If someone dies, it will definitely attract criticism, so I hope Master Li can send more people."

He is sincere.

But Li Rui shook his head: "Master Dao, you think too highly of me. I need to report this matter to Master Cao before I can make a decision."

A hint of sadness flashed in Dao Mo's eyes.

What Li Rui said is also true.

How many people are there in Anning Guard?

Only a thousand.

Two hundred troops were dispatched in one breath. Those who didn't know better thought it was a war. Putting aside the impact, Li Rui, a sixth-grade official, really couldn't decide.

Dao Mo cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Li."

When people are in other countries, they can only be polite.

Three points lower when you see someone.

Li Rui: "Master Dao, since the matter has been discussed, let's take our leave."

Finished.

Without waiting for Dao Mo to speak, he took Tan Hu straight back to Anning Guard, not even going to the Commercial Department as originally planned.

Dao Mo sighed.

"Officials of the Yu State are all those who have nothing to do with their bodies."

Qinghe City, a restaurant.

corner.

"Waiter, please add a pair of chopsticks."

As soon as Qi Ze sat down, the strong man wearing a bamboo hat across from him spoke.

"Need not."

Zize raised his hand.

The waiter looked at it, curled his lips, and stopped caring.

After he sat down, he didn't even look at the food on the table. He just looked coldly at the middle-aged man in front of him: "Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"

The strong man chuckled:

"Brother, are you so rude to brother?"

Qi Ze narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted: "Don't be shameless."

The strong man grinned, not caring at all: "My great-grandfather would like to say hello to Duke Wei. We are of the same clan, and the Zhu family is the worm in the world. It's time to take it back."

"shut up!"

Zize's face turned ugly.

He came here today not to hear about the great cause of national restoration.

As for the clan brother, the two families have been separated for thousands of years, and the relationship has long been unclear. If you ask him, he is still the ancestor of the strong man.

'These lunatics. ’

good.

The strong man in front of him is a genuine remnant of the previous dynasty, but he is different from the lineage of Wei Guogong and the Guiming Sect. Their lineage fled to the Witch Kingdom when the country was destroyed.

The two parties rarely contacted each other, but they were not completely disconnected.

In other words, it is precisely because of people like the Gui Ming Sect and the Southern Xinjiang Qi family that the Duke of Wei has been able to enjoy its current status.

The Duke of Wei's Mansion was the transition between the two parties and the Yu State. It had suppressed and secretly helped.

This relationship is more akin to a general raising an enemy.

"It was my fault, we shouldn't have met today."

Qi Ze stood up abruptly.

He has no intention of staying at all.

Seeing this, the strong man chuckled: "Cousin, you don't want to hear what will happen in ten days?"

Qi Ze narrowed his eyes slightly.

Slowly sat down again.

Duke Wei, his grandfather, knew that the strong man Qi Yu had supported a prince in Wu Kingdom.

These people have never given up the idea of ​​returning to their country.

They came up with a crazy idea, which was to let the Xuan Kingdom reappear in the world on the land of the Witch Kingdom.

For this reason, this family approached Duke Wei a few years ago, hoping that Duke Wei could help.

Although he was rejected by Duke Wei, the contacts between the two parties increased.

Duke Wei guessed that the Qi family would definitely take action this time when the two countries trade with each other, so he decided to arrange Qi Ze into the Anning Guard. Only by having military power could he do things better.

Unfortunately, Qi Ze was defeated by Li Rui, so he had to settle for the next best thing and enter the Trade Department.

Zize snorted coldly: "Go ahead."

Qi Yu still had a playful smile on his face: "Grandpa is very interested in that batch of goods."

Zize's eyes almost narrowed into slits.

‘Sure enough, they are going to take action. ’

In the restaurant, of course Qi Yu couldn't say it directly, but he had already conveyed the meaning.

The meaning is clear.

They are going to rob the caravan ten days later.

Qi Ze looked indifferent: "What does this matter have to do with me?"

Qi Yu's grin widened and he didn't answer Qi Ze's question at all. He just said to himself, "I need a defense map."

"you"

Zize still wants to talk.

He saw Qi Yu put down his chopsticks, stood up, turned around and walked out, leaving only one sentence lightly:

"You know where to find me."

Qi Ze looked at Qi Yu's back, his eyes flickering, and then he felt confused again.

"Restore the country?"

As an official of the Municipal Trade Department, it was not difficult for him to obtain the defense map, but once he was given it, he would really be on the road to no return.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

"The security guards haven't come yet?"

Dao Mo looked at the empty Trade Department compound.

Except for the people from the Wu Kingdom mission and officials from the Trade Department, there were no other figures, and there were only twenty people in total.

Xu Wen nodded and looked at the sun:

"We agreed to set off at noon, but the time has not yet arrived."

Dao Mo was slightly nervous.

In three days, it will be the agreed day for the Wu Kingdom's caravan to enter the Yu Kingdom. They are going to escort the Yu Kingdom's caravan into the Wu Kingdom, and at the same time escort the Wu Kingdom's caravan to Qinghe City.

first.

To be sure, we arranged for security guards to escort us.

After that, there was no such treatment.

But the time was almost here, and there was still no one from An Ningwei.

What Dao Mo was even more worried about was whether An Ningwei would send two hundred people.

The scene of his conversation with Li Rui that day emerged in his mind.

"well"

Dao Mo sighed softly.

'Officials of the Yu State are the most unbelievable. How could they bother their superiors for an unknown danger? ’

This can be seen from the attitudes of several officials from the Municipal Trade Department.

Although Xu Wen agreed on the surface, deep down he must have felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.

The sun gradually moves to the center of the sky, and the sun becomes even brighter.

Dao Mo felt more and more anxious.

At this time.

But I heard Xia Xiaotang beside me say: "Dao Mo, don't worry too much."

Dao Mo turned around and saw Xia Xiaotang with a relaxed look on his face.

"Do you really trust that Yu State officer?"

He found that after Xia Xiaotang met the Yu State official named Li, he became more relaxed.

Just when he was about to continue asking.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door, the steps were neat and orderly, and you could tell there were quite a lot of them.

A flash of joy flashed in his eyes:

"Coming!"
