He climbed over the courtyard wall into the mansion, just to avoid the door of the mansion that might be explored and to enter the mansion as secretly as possible.
"gentlemen…"
"Well, you're back and everything has been settled?"
Li Fu straightened up and reported to the man sitting at the stone table in front of him.
"Everything is done. It seems that Miss Xiao Qiao has already set off."
"Ah That's good."
Yi Xiaotian was sitting in the middle of the yard facing the moonlight. On the table beside him, there were already several letters - and the contents of the letters were naturally the exchange of information with various families in the past two days.
process.
With Li Fu's return, the early arrangements for Yi Xiaotian's plan have basically come to an end.
"Are Shang Xiang and the others ready? If they are, we will set off immediately tonight."
"I guess it will be soon. When I came back from my humble post, I saw Miss Lu standing guard outside the Sun Mansion——"
Hearing Li Fu's answer, Yi Xiaotian nodded.
He straightened up, stretched his stiff waist, and then turned his attention to Xicheng District, the most prosperous district in Wuxian County——
There, there is the most sophisticated arrangement left for Zhou Yu tonight.
"I'm sorry, Governor, I won this time."
Yi Xiaotian smiled.
There was no hint of concealment in his voice.
——
Zhou Yu still doesn't know that she has fallen into Yi Xiaotian's trap.
He sat on the carriage and felt the speed of the carriage. At the same time, he also cast his gaze on Lu Ji, who was sitting opposite him. Judging from Lu Ji's neither humble nor arrogant attitude, it seemed that everything was going on as usual.
It was this feeling that made Zhou Yu not realize that the environment he was in was completely arranged.
In silence all the way, the carriage soon arrived in front of Fuchun Pavilion.
At Lu Ji's invitation, Zhou Yu stepped out of the carriage. As soon as he got off the carriage, he found that the scene in front of him was a little beyond his expectation.
The brightly lit Fuchun Pavilion was obviously more exaggerated than he had remembered.
The welcoming team standing in front of the pavilion is even more eye-catching.
Zhang Zhao was the leader, and Gu Shao was by the side. Not only them, but also Lu Xun, Gu Shao, Zhang Cheng, Gu Yu and other younger generation descendants from Jiangdong's aristocratic families were also present.
Their eyes unanimously turned to Zhou Yu, as if they had been waiting for his arrival. As soon as they saw him, they raised their hands to greet him and said:
"I've met the Grand Governor!"
"Well…"
Zhou Yu was probably stunned for a few breaths. His brain was rapidly changing his identity. Finally, after a moment, the pride and confidence of being the governor of Soochow re-armed him——
Zhou Yu seemed to be a different person, facing everyone's gaze, and first returned the greeting:
"Everyone, you are welcome and safe."
"Haha, the Governor came here with such a compliment. It is not in vain that we reported to Fuchun Pavilion that we would have a drink with the Governor."
"Today, I have specially invited a few people who may have had conflicts with the Governor before - in order to use today's banquet to clear away the misunderstanding and not return without getting drunk."
"Since the Governor is also here, then..."
The speaker was Lu Xun, and it was obvious that he was acting as the host.
In Yi Xiaotian's plan, it was precisely because of his presence that this banquet could be held despite so many contradictions.
Yi Xiaotian made these words clear to Lu Xun in the letter.
As expected, although Zhou Yu showed the demeanor of a great governor, he still frowned tightly when he saw Zhang Zhao and others.
However, it is also because of Yi Xiaotian's instructions that Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others have no intention of quarreling now, no matter how serious their conflict is with Zhou Yu.
Everyone watched Lu Xun's speech tacitly.
"Hmph...I don't care. I just don't know if the elders can still drink the wine today. Don't drink it until they get under the table and need help before they can stumble back home——"
Zhou Yu showed his verbal aggression. He said to Zhang Zhao and others in an overt and covert manner.
But... what he didn't expect was that Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others were all old gods, and they didn't pay attention to his provocation at all.
Zhang Zhao, who was smiling, just made a greeting gesture to him, while Gu Shao on the side also said with a smile:
"Haha, the Governor seems to have come well prepared today. If I really drink and lie down on the table, just ask the Governor to laugh at me."
After punching the cotton, Zhou Yu's expression was somewhat ugly.
However, when Lu Xun, Lu Ji and a group of young disciples saw this, they all gathered around and gave Zhou Yu enough respect.
"Grand Governor, don't mention anything else. I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time today and finally caught you, Governor. You can't refuse to drink today!"
Gu Shao said on the side, and Lu Ji also raised the fire from the side:
"Isn't it true that the governor is afraid when he sees our fight? Let's talk about it first. Xiao Ze (Gu Shao) and his friends are quite capable of drinking. If the governor is drunk by us instead, we will be irresponsible!"
Although Zhou Yu has conflicts with the older generation such as Zhang Zhao and Gu Shao, compared to the younger generations such as Gu Shao and Lu Ji, Zhou Yu is still a very tolerant elder brother. It can only be said that his personality is such that some people compliment him.
He would give the same blessing, but unfortunately, this point would not fall on Xiao Qiao after all.
It's ridiculous to say that.
"Hey, you guys are not afraid of getting choked up when you speak big words. It's okay. Let's put aside the important things today. After I have taught you juniors a lesson one by one, we can talk about other things!"
Zhou Yu said these words with a smile, as if the previous calmness in the mansion had been forgotten by him.
Human beings are always social animals. No matter who they are, they will be more or less infected by the atmosphere of dense crowds.
Although this influence may be strong or weak, due to the difference in status, it is difficult for even Zhou Yu to maintain his original intention when surrounded by such a group of acquaintances.
Joy - this is the atmosphere that Fuchun Pavilion exudes all the time.
The moment he stepped into the pavilion, Zhou Yu completely forgot all his worries.
Singing and dancing? Wine and food? Everything is here.
Everyone was talking at once, and the atmosphere quickly became heated——
——
At this moment, in front of the pavilion, Lu Xun was still standing where he was, watching the streets under the night sky - a few people were walking around in front of the Fuchun Pavilion. There was nothing special about them.
But Lu Xun was still waiting.
He is waiting for today’s “main course”——
In fact, it didn't take long before a slender figure walked out of the night.
The other party covered his head and walked briskly, not wanting anyone to know his identity.
It was not until she was in front of the pavilion that she began to look around hurriedly - Lu Xun saw the image of the visitor and greeted him with a smile:
"But Miss Xiao Qiao?"
"ah!"
Xiao Qiao was startled.
However, when she looked up and saw Lu Xun's gentle and not overly oppressive face, she was somewhat relieved.
"I'm sorry for scaring you. Lu Xun, you can call me Boyan. The Governor has entered the cabinet now. If you came according to the instructions, please follow me this way - we have prepared everything for you.
, what you want to know..."
"You...what on earth are you going to do?"
Xiao Qiao was a little scared, so she interrupted.
Lu Xun was not angry after being interrupted. Looking at Xiao Qiao's vigilant look, he smiled and said:
"I believe that after you know the truth, you will stand on the same side as us."
