Dressed as Wu Dalang, Jinlian please respect yourself

Chapter 684 The situation has changed
Seeing Patriarch Liu's appearance, Mumbai frowned slightly.

"Master Liu, are you unwilling to help us? Don't forget, you are on the same line as us now. If you are unwilling to help us, we will not force you. Meng can leave here now at worst. When the time comes, you, you can leave, but how will the Liu family leave?"

Master Liu was hit by Mumbai's words, and bit his lower lip slightly.

What Mumbai said is not wrong, he is now driven to a dead end, if he does not do it, as soon as the head of the Chu family returns to the Koryo region and reports to Xiaotou about his surrender for five days, then everything will be over.

"Okay, now that things have come to this point, I have no other choice. I promise you, I will set up an ambush at Liu's house and arrest Xiaotou. In order for things to go smoothly, you have to cooperate with me and meet with me. Xiao Tou. He invited me to see you, if you don't go, Xiao Tou should suspect the two of us."

Mumbai nodded, cupped his hands and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, then I will follow your wishes and meet Xiaotou with you again. However, I have to discuss this matter with the two generals Lu Fei and Lin Feng first. Set up an ambush at your Liu's house first, and then we will go to see Xiaotou."

Master Liu nodded.

That night, the head of the Liu family and Bombay secretly went to meet Lu Fei and Lin Feng. After discussing with them, they all agreed that setting up an ambush at the Liu family would have a great chance of success.

After the discussion, they quietly entered Pyongyang City overnight and went straight to Liu's house.

Dou was surprised to see so many people brought back by Patriarch Liu, and wanted to ask why, but Patriarch Liu angrily reprimanded him.

Had no choice but to back down.

The Liu family's children also learned that the head of the Liu family had brought many people, and they all came to watch.

The head of the Liu family said with a serious face: "None of you can tell about this matter. They are all distinguished guests invited by the head of the house. They will stay here for a few days, so you have to take care of them."

The Liu family members nodded.

After making arrangements for Lu Fei and Lin Feng, the next step is to invite Xiaotou to come.

But all of them were discovered by Long Advisor's subordinates, and they reported to Long Advisor.

Advisor Long felt that this matter was very strange, and hurriedly went to the palace to report to Xiaotou.

Xiao Tou was about to take a rest, when he learned that Advisor Long was asking for an interview, he asked the guards to invite him in.

Seeing Xiaotou, Long Advisor briefly explained the information, and finally said: "Patriarch, I think this matter is very strange. What is this messenger leading a group of people to Patriarch Liu's house quietly? If it is a banquet If you don’t, you can go about it generously, I guess there must be tricks in it.”

Xiao Tou nodded slightly, approving what Long Counselor said.

"Since Master Liu came back from Xinsha Kingdom, the old man has been very wary of him, and always feels that he seems to be a different person. Especially last night, I was attacked at Liu's place. I always feel that this incident has nothing to do with The Liu family has a lot of connections. But because no direct evidence was found and no one was caught, the old man did not attack the Liu family."

"Now with this information, the old man feels more and more that there must be something wrong with the Liu family."

Advisor Long nodded, clasped his hands and continued: "The analysis of the Patriarch is very reasonable, so for the sake of safety, the Patriarch will not leave the palace from now on, and everything will be handled here, so that at least the safety of the Patriarch can be guaranteed. After everything has been investigated, the Patriarch will make a conclusion at that time."

Xiao Tou pondered for a while, and the suggestion of Long Counselor was right.

Now the situation is unknown, stay in the palace, where his people are everywhere, so that he can protect himself on the spot.

"Okay, the Patriarch accepts your opinion. But you have to speed up the things I ask you to do, and give the Patriarch the results as soon as possible."

Advisor Long nodded, turned and left.

The next day, as soon as Xiao Tou got up, a soldier came to report that Mumbai and Patriarch Liu had come to see him.

Hearing this, Xiao Tou pondered for a while, and said to the soldiers: "You take the two of them to the side hall to have tea, and say that I will go there later."

Soldiers go down.

Xiao Tou called another guard over and said in a low voice; "Call hundreds of soldiers and surround the side hall from a distance. After hearing the old man's order, you all rush in immediately and take down Patriarch Liu and the envoy Mumbai. If the old man didn't call you, wait outside and don't come in."

The guard nodded.

After giving this order, Xiao Tou changed his clothes and went to the side hall.

……

In the side hall, Patriarch Liu and Mumbai were drinking tea, waiting for Xiaotou to come.

But after waiting and waiting, he didn't see Xiao Tou coming, so he frowned slightly.

"Master Messenger, this Patriarch Xiao..."

The Liu family mainly complained, but was stopped by Mumbai, who shook his head to signal not to continue.

Only then did Master Liu come back to his senses, and nodded slightly.

At this time Xiaotou came in, he heard what Patriarch Liu said before, but he didn't hear what he said behind, his brows were slightly frowned, although he was a little displeased, but after all, he didn't say anything disrespectful to him, there was nothing to be angry about .

Master Liu and Mumbai saw Xiao Tou coming, and hurriedly got up to meet him.

Xiao Tou bowed his hands towards them with a smile on his face: "You two came to see the old man so early, and the old man is not far away. I hope you two will not be offended."

Master Liu cupped his hands and said: "Master Xiao, you want me to invite the envoy, I have already invited him according to your request. When I went, the envoy had already been on the road for days and was very tired. Even after drinking, I got some wind and cold, so I fell ill. When I went, the envoy hadn't recovered yet, and it was Liu who tried to persuade him, because the affairs between the two countries cannot be delayed."

"After some persuasion from the old man, the messenger finally agreed, and then he braced himself and came to meet you, Patriarch Xiao."

After finishing speaking, Patriarch Liu took a look at Mumbai.

Mumbai stepped forward with a smile on his face, and cupped his hands towards Xiao: "Patriarch Xiao, I'm not feeling well, so I'm sorry for delaying our discussion. Last night, Patriarch Liu took me to the Liu family and used their family's doctor Heal my illness. My health has improved a lot today, so I immediately followed Patriarch Liu to meet you, Patriarch Xiao. Now, we can start to discuss the matter of credentials."

Xiao Tou was silent after hearing their words.

Their arguments can be said to have no flaws at all, and everything is so reasonable.

Could it be that he is overthinking?
But he still has a deep worry in his heart, and he always feels that something is wrong here.

But he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Master Liu and Mumbai saw that Xiaotou didn't speak, their brows were furrowed, their hearts were raised in their throats, maybe there was a loophole.

After a while, Xiao Tou came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Your Messenger's health is important, if you are really sick, don't force yourself."
