auspicious time has come

Chapter 133 I listen to her
As the name suggests, Linjiang Tower is a first-class restaurant built for facing water, with a good view.The private room for entertaining distinguished guests here is also particularly exquisite. In addition to the outer room for receiving guests, there is also an inner room for guests to rest.

The inside and the outside are separated by a bead curtain screen, at this moment the bead curtain slammed softly, and a figure stepped out from behind the screen.

The man has black hair with a jade crown and a black cloak. His body is as tall as a green bamboo, and the complexion on his weak face is still slightly pale, which makes his eyebrows darker and his eyes darker.

Looking at the figure that suddenly appeared in sight, Yan Jin, no—Yan Min was in a trance for a moment.

Where did this trance come from, only he can understand.

For a moment, he seemed to see someone else.

But it was only for a moment, and he immediately recovered his sobriety.

The Sri Lankan has passed away, and there is nowhere to look for it. What is the use of a little resemblance, the absent person is gone after all.

"Shortly after sitting down, I realized that someone else was in the room." He looked at Xiao Mu in surprise: "I thought it was Xiao Shiqi who didn't trust me, so he brought Xiao Hou's confidants to listen, but he never thought it was Xiao Mu. Xiaohou personally came to—"

As he spoke, he stood up slowly, put away his folding fan and bowed his hands in salute: "It's Yan who is slow to wait."

"Dong Yan's family came to Yingzhou with a lot of gifts this time, it's because the Marquis has not given enough hospitality." Xiao Mu stood still in front of the screen, his body, which had lost a lot of weight recently, was still standing there straight.

"Master Hou is serious." Yan Min narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with concern: "I didn't expect Master Hou to come here in person... It seems that there is no need for the antidote in Yan's hands?"

"Yes, you don't have to worry about detoxification." Xiao Mu said calmly.

Yan Ming laughed, looked at Heng Yu, and sighed: "Little Shiqi, I came to the appointment with you this time to trick me."

Heng Yu still sat there, looking back at him: "We have to talk about it, don't we?"

"That's right." Yan Ming looked back at Xiao Mu with a smile, and cupped his hands again: "Since the poison has been cured, congratulations to Lord Hou."

He didn't see the panic and bewilderment after half of the plan was revealed and failed, and he didn't even feel disappointed. He just raised his hand and invited Xiao Mu to take a seat: "Master Hou's poison is meant to be cured. Someone else will cure it, or Yan will also get rid of it. There is no difference, this small change is not enough to affect the possibility of cooperation between me and Master Hou——Master Hou has just recovered, please sit down and talk."

Xiao Mu walked over slowly and sat down in the chair adjacent to Hengyu, and there was no abnormal mood swing on his body.

Seeing that he seemed to want to talk to him, Yan Ming was in a good mood. He did not sit down in a hurry, but raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for Xiao Mu, and put it forward with both hands: "Master Hou is really a big event, so generous It is convincing, broad-minded, and long-term vision is really very human."

After a while, Xiao Mu took the cup of tea.

Yan Min smiled even more, sat down and continued: "Before entering Yingzhou, Yan had admired Xiao Hou's name for a long time. Hou Ye was born like a god of war at a young age, put down the chaos of King Jin, and took over the six cities , peace of mind of the people... Not only is the martial arts superb, but also gentle to the people, it is really a great fortune to have Lord Marquis in the north, and it is also a blessing for the imperial court."

As he spoke, he sighed, as if he felt unfair for Xiao Mu: "But what did the court give Lord Hou? Apart from the endless suspicion and suppression, I'm afraid there is only the desire to get rid of it and then quickly destroy it... Jiang Zhengfu is the head of the civil servants, so openly targeting Lord Hou, is there really no acquiescence behind this?"

"There is nothing wrong with being loyal, but if you give your loyalty to the wrong person and you still don't know how to change it, what will happen in the end? Has Master Hou really never thought about it?"

"Even though Lord Hou is fearless, there are countless loyal people under your command. If Lord Hou loses power, what will happen to them in the future?" Yan Ming sighed: "...It is rare to be loyal to the king and protect the country A good end, just thinking about it, makes people feel chilling. If I am an outsider, I can't bear it, how would I feel if I love soldiers like sons and masters?"

Hearing this, Xiao Mu just said calmly: "Dong Yan's family really thinks a lot about this Marquis."

"Whether Yan's words are exaggerated and provocative, Lord Hou must be clear in his heart."

Yan Ming said: "What is the intention of the imperial court, there is no need to say too much - let alone the other side, just talking about the rumor of the treasure map is very strange... Once this rumor spread, it made Lord Hou a target of public criticism, and many people The forces are eyeing them, and the schemes involved may not be the court's means of killing people with swords."

"How did Dong Yan's family know that it must be a rumor?" Xiao Mu asked.

Yan Ming laughed: "Could it be that Lord Hou really holds the so-called treasure map?"

"Then, can I also suspect that the rumors about the treasure map were written by Yan Dong's family to force me to be an enemy of the imperial court?" Xiao Mu looked at Yan Ming: "The situation that Yan Dong's family set up on Xiao, Did it start before the poisoning, when I first settled in Yingzhou three years ago?"

Heng Yu's eyes trembled when he heard this, and he looked at Yan Ming.

She thought a lot about what Yan Ming did last night, but she never thought so far——

Yan Ming raised his eyebrows and laughed.

"Xiao Hou is really sharp..." Regarding Xiao Mu's guess, he did not deny, but instead said: "In any case, Xiao Hou has no way out now, right?"

"Xiao Hou has a strategy and military strength, and the Yan family has enough financial resources. It can be said that the right time, place and people are in harmony with each other—" He looked at Xiao Mu, with a dark light flickering in his eyes: "If you and I join hands, we can change the day and the day. Isn't it just around the corner?"

He said, his gaze fell on Hengyu, and he said with a smile: "At that time, Xiao Shiqi's revenge will be avenged, and the three of you and I guarding this country together, isn't it better than leaving life and death in the hands of others?" Is it worth a hundred times a thousand times?"

Seeing the turbulence in his eyes, Heng Yu said slowly: "Shou is a word for Shou."

"Then you have to have your life to guard it." Yan Ming asked Xiao Mu with a smile: "My little Seventeen is still a bit stubborn, I don't know what Hou Ye thinks?"

"I'll listen to her." Xiao Mu said.

"?" Heng Yu looked at him.

Yan Min raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "I'm afraid Hou Ye failed to understand Yan's meaning—tomorrow's great cause will be accomplished, Hou Ye is the master of the world, and Yan will not take anything."

The four words "lord of the world" should have the power to shake everything, but the person who was watched by Yan Ming was still as calm as an ancient well, and only said: "How dare you ask Yan Dong's family what is the picture?"

Yan Ming said firmly: "I only want that person who is not worthy of virtue to get off that position, and make the world a clear one—"

Seeing the hatred revealed in his eyes, Xiao Mu pursed his lips slightly.

Every word in Yan Min's words seems to have infinite charm: "The pity at the highest point is meaningful. At that time, it will be the time when the Marquis will display his ambition and benefit the people. One side is to sit and wait for death, and the other way is to wait for death." To lead to the highest position, Lord Hou really doesn’t know how to choose?”

"Master Ji has a very correct saying, if you don't give, you won't take." Xiao Mu's eyes were calm, without any wavering: "As for whether this Marquis wants to sit and wait for death, I don't need to bother Master Yan."

Yan Min's smile was still there, and he frowned as if puzzled.

"Is General Xiao, who is feared on the battlefield, actually a timid person? It shouldn't be." He rubbed his brows helplessly: "Or, my luck is too bad, and I would rather die if I encounter some people. A stubborn person who also wants to keep his name."

Xiao Mu: "Dong Yan's family doesn't need to resort to aggressive tactics, and they don't need to flatter Xiao too much."

Yan Jin shook his head, looked up at the two people sitting across from him, and said with a broken smile, "I really met two stubborn rocks..."

"It's just..." He looked at Xiao Mu in confusion: "Since Xiao Hou has no intention of cooperating at all, why should he condescend to come to see Yan in person?"

"One is to find out what the intentions of Yan Dong's family are." Xiao Mu looked at Yan Ming and said, "Secondly, before making a big mistake, I want to persuade Yan Dong's family to turn around in time."

Yan Ming laughed "ha", as if he had heard some big joke: "I can't persuade Xiao Hou to rebel, but Xiao Hou wants to persuade me to 'be kind'?"

The more he talked, the more he wanted to laugh, but he felt that it was extremely absurd: "I found the wrong person, but Xiao Hou also found the wrong person... It seems that today, your thoughts and mine are destined to be in vain."

As Yan Ming said, he stood up holding the folding fan: "Since we can't agree on an agreement, we can't force it."

"At this time, we can't agree, it's too early to talk about it." Xiao Mu also got up from his chair: "The time is just right, I want to invite Dong Yan's family into the residence to discuss—"

Yan Ming's eyes moved, and he looked at the stick of green incense that had just burned out in the incense burner.

At the same time, there was the faint sound of prudent footsteps outside the elegant room, and the unique sound of striking each other while walking with armored swords.

"Xiao Hou..." Yan Ming sighed: "I'm talking with you sincerely, why are you like this?"

"I also sincerely invite you." There was persuasion in Xiao Mu's eyes that Yan Ming couldn't understand. A stubborn person seemed to be stubborn even in persuasion.

And at this moment, looking at those eyes full of persuasion, Yan Min felt that indescribable sense of familiarity rise again in his heart.

He frowned, but the urgency of the situation made him unable to delve into anything else.

"Xiaohou's sincerity is appreciated by Yan, and Yan's sincerity, I hope Xiaohou can think about it more carefully." The corner of Yan Min's mouth slightly raised, and he cupped his hands and said: "Yan is waiting at any time—"

Heng Yu noticed something strange and stood up instinctively.

However, it was too late.

With a strong step on Yan Ming's feet, several pieces of the floorboards suddenly separated to the two sides, and the mechanism underneath was touched, and Yan Ming, who was smiling, fell into the dark room under his feet.

The door of the elegant room was pushed open, and Wang Jingyong led someone in quickly. Seeing that there was no third person in the room, he couldn't help looking at Xiao Mu: "General!"

"Escaped." Xiao Mu looked at the closed floor: "There should be a secret passage below—"

"No wonder he chose the location here." Heng Yu thought about it: "This place is near the water, and the secret passage cannot be dug too deep or too long. And in order to avoid being tracked, he would not dare to stay in the secret passage for a long time—"

She looked out the window subconsciously: "He will definitely leave the city in the shortest possible time, and leaving by water at night is the best choice."

"Then subordinates lead people to guard the banks immediately!" Wang Jingyong said: "Even if he left by boat first, the new crossbow that he tried a few days ago can still kill people on the river!"

"No need." Xiao Mu said, "Let him go."

Wang Jingyong was slightly taken aback, but immediately responded: "Yes."

The general must have deep meaning in his actions, so there is no need for him to question them.

Heng Yu took another look at Xiao Mu.
