The siege of just twenty days has already caused the common people at the bottom of Gusu City to complain endlessly, and there are countless tragedies of selling wives and daughters in and out of the alleys.
However, not only the high-ranking officials turned a blind eye to this, but the city defense troops who were rushing back and forth also turned a deaf ear to it, because they now had more troubles to worry about and were simply too disturbed.
Xing Xiujie, the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, still doesn’t understand why so many big things happened today.
Either there were miasma mandrills appearing on Zhangtai Road, or there were crowds getting into fights in Yanliu Lane, and even within half a stick of incense, reports of theft of property from prominent families were received time and again.
develop to the end.
There were actually signs of rogue bandits attacking the east gate.
Once this succeeds, won't the Yongtai army stationed at Pingmuguan take advantage of the situation and break into the city in one fell swoop?
Xing Xiujie waved his horsewhip impatiently and kept commanding the city defense army to send troops everywhere to suppress the riots. He himself even wanted to visit the famous families and had to explain the reason personally.
"Get away!"
"Wherever the army goes, anyone who stands in its way will be killed without mercy!"
After Xing Xiujie hit his horse and knocked down a large number of civilians on the street, he led the troops roaring past, obviously on the verge of rage.
at the same time.
Liu Yi leaned on the corridor of Muchen Pavilion, looking down at the wailing below, and frowned: "How many waves of mobilizations of the city defense army is this?"
"Replying to the Immortal Lord, this is already the fifteenth time." Shen Leiyi, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, bowed in response.
"That's enough?" Liu Yiyi's face turned pale, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness. "Go on, the heat is almost enough. Everyone should go back to their duties. There is no need to cause any more trouble."
"As commanded."
"Is there anything else, Gang Leader Shen?" Liu Yiyi turned around and saw him standing still for a long time, and said weakly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Gusu Lin just handed over the greeting card, hoping to see the immortal." Shen Leiyi had a strange face, and then took out a gold-gilt name card from his sleeve, and the name on it was clearly Lin Wei.
Liu Yiyi also had a look of astonishment on her face.
She never expected that Lin Wei would meet her openly and openly, without any hesitation. This was obviously against common sense.
Not to mention that he had done some dirty work in the Lin family hotel and intercepted a large amount of treasures. It was just that Lin, the Ye family and the City Lord's Mansion used the plant elves under Gu Zhi's family as hostages to extort money.
It was obvious that Gu Zhi and the Lin family were incompatible with each other. It was almost like enemies meeting each other, making them extremely jealous.
But now Lin Wei, as the head of the family, actually paid a visit in person? What is his intention?
Liu Yiyi was full of doubts and asked Shen Leiyi again: "How many people are around Lin Wei?"
"Not many, just ordinary servants, less than a hundred." Shen Leiyi thought for a while and added, "He is outside the door, Qin Hui is waiting for him."
"It's essential to be on guard against others." After Liu Yiyi finished speaking, she turned and went downstairs, obviously intending to test Lin Wei in person.
Shen Leiyi didn't need to give any more instructions. He immediately issued a summons and arranged for the thugs above the Lingxiao Realm to assemble quickly.
Muchen Pavilion is located on Zhangtai Road.
This is an area full of flowers.
But now it suddenly fell into a strange silence. Under the heavy snow, the weather was even more severe and cold in early winter.
As the red doors opened, Lin Wei stepped into the Muchen Pavilion wearing a gold-woven robe with jade face and embroidery. He walked around a bamboo screen wall and soon saw Liu Yiyi standing dignifiedly in the middle hall.

In fact, he has never met Liu Yiyi.
But looking at the fierce-looking people, only the woman with a beautiful face in the middle hall was the most graceful and luxurious. He didn't even have to think about it, this person must be Gu Zhi's current Dongjun Xianzun.
"Meet the Immortal." Lin Wei looked Liu Yiyi up and down. Even though he couldn't see her true face, he could still imagine the beautiful face under the veil.
Liu Yiyi, as the Immortal Lord of Dongjun, is widely worshiped by Dai Guishan and its large and small cities. At least in name, she is superior to all major aristocratic families.
Even if the Lord of Gusu City, Luo Yongfeng, comes in person, he must be the first to salute in a formal occasion. After all, Dongjun Xianzun has made great contributions to supporting Gusu City and deserves to pay tribute.
Liu Yiyi didn't like Lin Wei's scrutiny.
But she did not show her disgust, but instead responded briefly: "The Lin family leader has come all the way, and it can be said that he is full of brilliance."
After the polite greetings, both parties sat down.
Shen Leiyi was serving tea at the side and was the first to speak: "I wonder if the head of the Lin family is here, what do you want to do?"
"Who are you?" Lin Wei frowned.
He felt that as the head of the Lin family with the most transcendent status in Gusu City, why should Liu Yiyi serve tea in person, and now he let a mere green-skinned man do it for him?
After hearing these ill-intentioned words, Shen Leiyi's face changed drastically, and he suppressed his anger and said: "I am the boss of the Black Tiger Gang. I am favored by the Dongjun Immortal Lord, so I intend to serve you."
"You? Just you?" Lin Wei didn't take the tea cup at all and thought to himself, "Dongjun Xianzun has a thousand miles around Mount Daigui, how could he choose a reckless man to be his slave?"
"As I see it."
"You must covet the beauty of Dongjun Xianzun, and deliberately entangle him for your own ill-gotten gains."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The Lin family guards even drew their swords in response, assuming a righteous posture of eliminating harm for the people, preparing to take down Shen Leiyi.
At this moment.
Liu Yiyi finally spoke.
She raised her hand to mobilize her spiritual power, held up the tea cup and floated it in front of Lin Wei: "The tea in the snow and rain is calming down, why don't the Lin family want to try it?"
Everyone knew that Lin Wei was deliberately looking for trouble, just to take the opportunity to suppress Gu Zhi's momentum, just to gain an advantage in subsequent negotiations.
Liu Yiyi had been working as a mediator among aristocratic families for many years, and had long since become accustomed to this. She did not get angry at all, or even have any mood swings.
Now that the tea cup has been placed in front of him, if Lin Wei doesn't take it, the table will be overturned in the next moment and the swords will be directed at each other.
Seeing Lin Wei taking the tea cup with a smile, Shen Leiyi retreated with a sinister expression on his face, standing next to Liu Yiyi like a tiger, restraining his claws.
"This tea can really calm the mind and calm down the fire." Lin Weiqian sipped the cup and said slowly, "I do have important matters to discuss when I come here this time."
"What?" Liu Yiyi remained calm.
Lin Wei smiled slightly: "I heard that there were rogue bandits outside the city and looted Guzhi, causing considerable losses."
"It's true. Rogue bandits are really disgusting." Liu Yiyi accepted the conversation without going into details, just waiting for the other party to reveal his intention first.
From the time he entered the house, to the way he resolved the embarrassment, and now with his speaking skills, Lin Wei thought that Liu Yiyi's every move was really calm and leisurely, with the free and easy charm of a fairy who came to the world.
But she didn't fight for the initiative and would definitely suffer in the negotiation, which made Lin Wei look down on Liu Yiyi.
"My family once had a hotel near the east gate, which was also looted by bandits. Now it is vacant and can be given to the Immortal Lord as a place to stay."
"Thank you so much, Master Lin." Liu Yiyi raised her glass in greeting.
According to common sense, since the other party proposes generous remuneration, it is time for the other party to delve deeper into the topic and talk about exchange conditions.
However, Lin Wei waited for a long time.
Liu Yiyi didn't speak again.
This made Lin Wei almost drink a cup of tea, and in the end he had to say awkwardly: "Immortal Lord, you and I have suffered greatly from the bandits. It can be said that we have the same disease, so how about we just expose it?"
There is no logic in this remark.
Hearing this, Shen Leiyi was full of doubts. But Liu Yiyi's heart was as clear as a mirror, and her tone suddenly became harsh: "Revealing this? The head of the Lin family said it very lightly! Do you think our headquarters lacks the more than 100 acres of land?"
