Chapter 252

On the low table, half a pot of tea was boiling on the stove, and the sound of gurgling was even more noisy at this time.

The steaming hot air keeps spraying from the spout, and when it encounters the suddenly cold air, it condenses into a white mist instantly.The expressions in Xiao Yan's eyes were intertwined with light and dark, like the foothills shrouded in thick fog after the rain, and it was impossible to distinguish between happiness and anger.

Just when Lu Yunli was about to give up this round of offensive and look for opportunities to attack sideways, Xiao Yanzhi slowly said:

"Your Majesty Lu is polite, you don't get rewarded for nothing, since you said it was an exchange, how can this king go back on what you said?"

He thought of Lu San'er's question just now, and replied sincerely:

"The king wants this land because he wants to build a new residence for the princess. He wanted to surprise the princess. Since Master Lu asked this, it's okay to say it. As for the gold mine, it doesn't matter what the Lu family plans to do with it. This king's business."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yanzhi hooked the corners of his lips, lowered his head and blew on the hot water in the cup lightly, completely covering Ming Rui's eyes.

Unexpectedly, he made such a big circle to build a palace for the younger sister.

Lu Yunli was a little puzzled, so he wanted to explore again: "The palace can be built anywhere, but this piece of land is not worth a thousand dollars."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yanzhi laughed lightly:
"It's too late for Mr. Lu to say anything at this time. Boss Lu has asked the princess to tell the king that he agreed to the deal. The Lu family has always been honest and honest in the business field. It can't be just because the king is his own family and it's just a verbal agreement. Just go back on your word easily?"

Lu Yunli was at a loss for words for a moment, but this result was beyond his expectation.

Seeing that the other party was silent, Xiao Yanzhi added another sentence at the right time: "What do you think, brother-in-law?"

Third Uncle?
This was the first time Lu Yunli heard Xiao Yanzhi call himself that.

But it was obviously a title among relatives, but it seemed to him that there was a hint of coercion in it.

He was the one who provided him with clues about private salt, and he was the one who relieved Lu Jiayan from the trap.

He was the one who pretended to be sick and refused to marry, and now he is the one who wants to build a palace for the younger sister with great fanfare.

In the face of his own temptation, he has remained calm.At this time, he deliberately emphasized the in-law relationship between the two families, and his capricious behavior was just to make the Lu family a weight on the balance.

His attitude towards the Lu family and his younger sister all depended on whether the current situation was good or bad for him.

There was a smile in the corner of Lu Yunli's eyes, pretending to be very useful, and said along the way: "Since this promise was made by my brother-in-law to my brother-in-law, let him confirm it."

"Alright."

The sky darkened in a blink of an eye, and a wisp of cooking smoke curled up under the golden afterglow.

Lu Yunzhao, who was busy at the stove, heard that his third brother Lu Yunli called him to discuss important matters, so he pointed to the white porridge in the casserole and told Lu Yunfan:

"Second brother, stop dozing off and watch the fire for me. I'll come when I go."

"Don't worry! Rory is talking too much!" Lu Yunfan covered half of his face with a cattail fan, and yawned impatiently.

Lu Yunzhao didn't dare to delay, and was helped to the camp.

He was a little confused when he heard Lu Yunli's personal attendant talk about the conversation in the tent along the way.

The two had a good time drinking tea, why did they talk about the land of Lianhuaqu again.Just talk about the place, why do you piggyback yourself?

Besides, doing this business with my brother-in-law only makes money but not losses, what is wrong with the third child, he wants to get involved everywhere as soon as he comes back?
When the belly slandered, it had already come out of the tent.

Lu Yunzhao immediately mobilized all the muscles in his face, and stepped in with a pleasant smile: "Hahaha, third brother, the little sister told her brother-in-law about that piece of land. They are all one family, so why should they be divided?"

Hearing this sentence, Lu Yunli was thoughtful: "Little sister's idea?"

"you do not say!"

Lu Yunzhao only felt the atmosphere was awkward, but he didn't know how to describe it.But his intuition told him that he needed to ease the atmosphere, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Then he sat down beside Lu Yunli, making gestures in front of the two:
"Third brother, you may not know what happened yesterday. My younger sister was made things difficult by Mrs. Xie in the Luxiao Palace. It was my brother-in-law who stepped forward. The three of us were almost blown up in the dining room by Earth Bone Theory Hailing. It was Mrs. Shu Besides, my brother-in-law built a new palace for my little sister, and he chose this place after thousands of choices!"

Talking about his joy, Lu Yunzhao suddenly raised his voice: "That's out of reason! If you are a brother-in-law, you should help your brother-in-law!"

Listening to his eloquence, the two couldn't even get in a sentence, so they could only pick up the teacup and pretend to drink tea.

"Besides, brother-in-law, you and your brother-in-law haven't always had... correspondence!" Lu Yunzhao said, patted Lu Yunli's shoulder, and knocked the teacup that was just brought to his lips to the ground.

"Oh!~" Lu Yunzhao hurriedly raised his sleeves to wipe the tea stains on the table, and murmured, "Susu is safe, Suisui is safe, hahaha!"

He didn't see that the smile on Lu Yunli's mouth was gone, and Xiao Yanzhi could hardly control the twitching of his mouth.

To avoid embarrassment, Lu Yunzhao patted his head and shouted loudly: "As for the bricks, tiles, mudstones, mortise and tenon paintings, decorative furniture, and exotic flowers and plants needed for the new palace, they are all on the Lu family. Anyway, they are all our own. Industry, not bad money!"

"Why does this make me..." Xiao Yanzhi felt embarrassed after hearing this.

But Lu Yunzhao waved his hand in awe-inspiring way: "As long as my brother-in-law treats our little sister well, it's all trivial!"

After speaking, he turned his head and looked at the half-wet man next to him: "You think so, third brother?"

Just as Lu Yunli was about to speak, he heard his personal attendant report from outside the tent: "Third Master, the person who locked the Three Masters in the dining room has been found."

"Come in and answer." Lu Yunli couldn't discern any emotion in his voice.

The attendant came in and saluted respectfully: "Third Master, the mastermind is the Shenji Battalion left sentry general, Wei Qi, he is the only one who survived the battle, and there is still..."

While speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced around the faces of several people in the tent, seeing that their faces were calm, he asked again: "Do you still want to distribute?"

"Then don't send it out."

Seeing that Lu Yunli had returned to his usual smile, he continued to pour a cup of tea without even looking at Xiao Yan: "Think of a way, let him receive the silver."

The air in the tent suddenly froze.

When Lu Yunzhao heard that Wei Qi was the person who almost indirectly killed him, he was a little angry.But when the third brother said that he was asked to receive silver, he was still a little shocked.

One must know that Wei Qi, Tang Feng, Yao Songming and others desperately protected the third child at Seventeen Ferry, and rumors have long been spread in the Shaolu paddock.
The attendant who reported was also panicked. He had joined forces with General Wei to fight against the enemy the day before yesterday. If Zhongliang was framed because of such a trivial matter, he would not bear it.

Just as he didn't know how to dissuade him, he saw that fourth master Lu Yunzhao couldn't sit still: "Third brother, I'm afraid if you do this..."

Unexpectedly, Lu Yunli poured another cup of tea and placed it in front of Xiao Yan: "According to the prince's opinion, how should I deal with this humble minister?"

Xiao Yanzhi still did not move the teacup in front of him, and said indifferently: "If it is a family matter, I can talk to my lord. As for the affairs of the court, if my lord wants to kill someone, there are countless ways. But this king I don’t think your lord will kill innocent people indiscriminately, otherwise, wouldn’t the Criminal Department of the Great Zhou become a tool to vent your anger?”

Lu Yunli nodded: "My lord's words are also what I think."

The two looked up, and the moment their eyes intersected, Xiao Yanzhi looked indifferently at the elegant smiling face of the person in front of him, showing a hint of respect.

This person is a sharp sword.

But a sword has double edges, and a person has two sides.

He definitely wouldn't be able to slash wantonly just because he was holding the hilt of the sword.

Seeing that the two of them were silent again, Lu Yunzhao was about to smooth things over with a smile.

But I heard Xiaoxi shouting outside: "My lord, third master and fourth master! The girl is awake!"

He got up abruptly and rushed out, but suddenly realized that King Yan had a noble status, and he shouldn't be walking in front, so he waited outside again.

After waiting for a while, I saw Xiao Yanzhi coming out of the tent, and the third elder brother Lu Yunli respectfully followed behind.It's just that when Xiao Yanzhi brushed past him, he bent his lips and said:
"My fourth uncle's proposal just now, I think is very good, let's start it when we return to Beijing."

After finishing speaking, he went to Lu Wanlan's camp, and Lu Yunli, who followed closely behind, only gave himself a meaningful look.

It seems to be saying: go home and clean you up!
Wei Qi, who was looking for the Iron Claw Pulsatilla at Shiqi Ferry, just pulled Yao Songming out of the last hunting pit, and sneezed twice.

Looking at the serious face of the other party, he didn't care, took off his sleeve armor and looked down and asked:
"Not here either? Could it be that I have misremembered the pit?"

Yao Songming shook his head: "The soldiers who carried the banner made a mark, the prison cart is still there, there is no damage, but the person is gone."

"Hiss!" Wei Qi had a bad feeling.

Looking around, the gunpowder smoke at the Seventeenth Ferry has cleared, and the corpses have already been cleaned up by Shenjiying.

But Senior Bai just couldn't move, and he wasn't dead, so he shouldn't be buried as a fallen soldier.

It's only been a few hours, how could such a big person disappear?

Just as he was wondering, he heard a thunderous sound of horseshoes coming from behind.

"Wei Qi? Why are you here?" Tang Feng looked suspicious.
