They stood at the door for a while, and saw a few figures faintly appearing in the woods. Cheng Yi looked intently, and saw that the leader was a middle-aged man over fifty years old with a round face and a rather pleasing appearance.

What a smiling tiger.

Cheng Yi thought.

These people stopped next to a towering tree at the very edge of the formation, and did not intend to continue to approach Cheng Yi.

"Your Excellency is amazing."

The round-faced man smiled and cupped his hands towards Cheng Yi.

"It's just that your Excellency is a little too deceitful."

As the round-faced man said, his squinted eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes looking at Cheng Yi became very sharp.

Cheng Yi shrugged, completely ignoring the round-faced man. He looked at him with a sneer on his face, and spoke slowly.

"What? As long as you stab people in the back, we are not allowed to fight back in self-defense?"

The round-faced man frowned, and immediately waved behind him. The next moment, a young man who was tied up was thrown into the open space between him and Cheng Yi.

"The person who shot the arrow is here. If you haven't calmed down, you can kill this person."

Just as the round-faced man finished speaking, the bound young man struggled in terror.

Cheng Yi looked at the young man, then at the round-faced man, and snorted boredly.

"I'm not looking for someone who shoots arrows."

Cheng Yi said again.

The round-faced man still had a smile on his face: "As long as you don't bother me anymore, within the boundaries of Dingzhou, you can run amok from now on."

Unscrupulous?

Isn't this smiling face and tiger's tone too loud?

"Could it be the land of the king in the whole world, why? Is Ningzhou the world of your Lu family?"

Cheng Yi joked.

The round-faced man remained calm on the face, but his heart was beating unavoidably, secretly guessing Cheng Yi's identity.

However, before he could say anything else, he listened to the other party continue.

"Also," Cheng Yi tilted his head, crossed his arms and glanced up and down at the round-faced man, and said, "I don't know about the other three major families, do you know that your Lu family is so loud?"

If Cheng Yi's previous words just made the round-faced man suspicious, then what he said later will really make the round-faced man wary.

"Who is your Excellency?"

The round-faced man put away the smile on his face and asked cautiously.

"I want to see Lu Xing."

Cheng Yi said directly.

"The head of the family is not in the mansion, please go back, Your Excellency." The round-faced man said.

Not here again?

Cheng Yi frowned indistinctly.

What are these four families planning?Even the heads of the two families are not in the mansion.

Just when Cheng Yi was about to say something more, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the depths of the woods.

The round-faced man frowned and looked back, only to see a servant running towards him panting.

"Golden Steward!"

The servant ran to the side of the round-faced man and whispered a few words in his ear.

"This young man, my Patriarch is here to invite you."

The round-faced man said with a stiff face.

"puff."

Standing behind Cheng Yi, Qin Shandao laughed unceremoniously.

"Just now you said that your Patriarch is not here, why did you turn your face and say that your Patriarch has invited you?"

Qin Shandao looked at the round-faced man jokingly.

"Whether the Patriarch of your family is there or not, you should give me an accurate answer."

The round-faced man's face turned blue and white.

When he came out earlier, the owner of the house had indeed told him to find a way to get rid of these troublemakers, but he didn't know what to say, and the owner of the house sent someone to invite them.

"The owner just came back."

Faced with Qin Shandao's ridicule, the round-faced man could only grit his teeth and say.

Qin Shandao snorted and didn't continue talking.

"Lead the way ahead."

Cheng Yi raised his hand and said.

Earlier, Chang Sun Chong had said that there was a gossip array in the old house of the Lu family, and he knew nothing about these mysterious and mysterious things, so naturally he had to be more careful.

Cheng Yi and the others walked out towards the depths of the courtyard with the round-faced man.

A group of people walked for a quarter of an hour before finally reaching the front hall that seemed to be just a stone's throw away from them.

Standing at the entrance of the front hall, Cheng Yi first glanced at the situation in the hall, and then couldn't help but look back at them.

At this time, there was already a lush forest behind them.

And the road they walked on when they came here has long since disappeared.

Cheng Yi frowned indistinctly, he really didn't like the feeling of time and space.

"General Cheng."

In the front hall, a clear voice sounded.

Cheng Yi turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a young man about 20 years old in a lake blue gown, looking at him with a smile like a spring breeze.

Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows and walked into the front hall.

"Snapped!"

As soon as Cheng Yi walked into the front hall, the door behind him that belonged to the front hall suddenly closed.

In an instant, the entire front hall suddenly became invisible.

Cheng Yi stood calmly in the hall, not panicked by the sudden darkness.

His clairvoyance does not know that he can see far, but he can see everything around him clearly under any circumstances.

This front hall is very spacious, but there is nothing in this huge hall except for two chairs placed in the middle.

Cheng Yi looked around and saw a figure standing still at a certain position.

Cheng Yi remained calm, just pretending that he was a blind man who couldn't see.

"Listen to your accent, you are not from Ningzhou."

The standing figure spoke.

"I'm from Chang'an City."

Cheng Yi said.

The figure chuckled, and his figure moved, and Cheng Yi saw that he was sitting on one of the chairs without any mistakes.

"General Cheng, sit down."

The figure said.

Cheng Yi frowned, feeling that this person was interesting.

As soon as he sat down, the candles were lit again in the hall.

"You are Lu Xing, the current head of the Lu family?"

With the dim candlelight, Cheng Yi carefully looked at the young man in front of him.

"Exactly," Lu Xing nodded, and said again: "General Cheng came to Ningzhou this time, but for disaster relief?"

Cheng Yi raised the corner of his mouth, nodded and said, "Not bad."

Lu Xing took a deep breath and continued after a short pause: "I would like to hand over 30 shi of grain."

"What are the conditions?" Cheng Yi asked.

"General Cheng is really a happy person," Lu Xing laughed, and then said: "I do have a heartless request, and I hope General Cheng can help me."

"tell me the story."

Cheng Yidao.

"The Wang family of Hengyang, General Cheng must also know about it." Lu Xing looked into Cheng Yi's eyes and asked, "What I'm asking for has a great relationship with the Wang family."

Chapter 99 A Trivial Matter

"I've always heard that the four major families in Ningzhou are united in the same spirit. Is this news inaccurate?"

When Lu Xing observed Cheng Yi, Cheng Yi also observed him.

It was the first time the two met, and although they had no ill feeling towards each other, there was absolutely no trust in them.

The door of the front hall was closed just now, and all the lights were turned off. This was Lu Xing's first test of Cheng Yi.

If Cheng Yi had been furious and flustered immediately, Lu Xing would not have said the following words to him.

Fortunately, Cheng Yi remained calm throughout the whole process, no matter closing the door or turning off the lights, it did not have any negative impact on him.

"Same spirit?"

Lu Xing sneered.

His body didn't seem to be in good condition, and his entire face was so pale that it was almost transparent.
