Laughing at Chang'an

"Master, there is an urgent report."

The servant boy kneeling by the door bent deeply, almost buried his head in his knees, and did not dare to look up at all.After a while, Li Mubai's extremely hoarse voice sounded: "Say."

"Li Tieyi made the statement public." The servant boy walked forward with his head buried in his knees, holding a morning newspaper in his arms, and came to the soft couch. The people above took the newspaper from him, and there was a moment of silence, with a low voice. He said a word and backed away.

"But Master..."

"I told you to back down, are you deaf?"

Another low laugh sounded from the soft couch, and the servant boy scrambled out of the attic and closed the door.Li Mubai threw away the newspaper in his hand, Feng He grabbed the back of his neck and pulled it back, put it on his waist, and teased: "Since you still have the strength to swear, then move yourself."

Li Mubai supported his chest with both hands, looked at him with a tired face, and really followed his advice.However, while he was moving, he said indifferently: "This is the last time, I still have something to do, I don't have time to play with you."

He already knew the existence of this call to action, and even read the retelling version, but he didn't expect Li Tieyi to make it public.This proclamation has been sent to all families and individuals related to the Huiguang Li family, and that's all it should be. No matter how much the two fathers and sons fight, this is Huiguang's housework, and no one else needs to intervene, let alone Be made known to the world.

Li Mubai couldn't guess what Li Tieyi was thinking, but in this way, the wind of public opinion would completely turn against him.Huiguang's lower-level mercenaries would stand on his side before, most of them were due to Du Zhong's personal prestige, and of course they didn't know the inside story of the matter - Li Mubai had to find a way to give a reasonable explanation as soon as possible, People's hearts are at ease.

What's more troublesome is that he has to brace himself to guard against those evil guests who are staring at the infighting of Huiguang and are always ready to take a bite.

"Oh." Feng He reached out to pick up the newspaper from the ground, and said casually while reading it, "It seems that you were completely abandoned by Li Tieyi, tsk tsk, poor thing."

"Shut up, get out if you don't want to do it."

Before Li Mubai could finish his sentence, he suddenly let out a muffled snort, and fell forward limply.Feng He pressed the back of his head, pressed his face into his neck, turned his face, and whispered against his earlobe: "Guild number Ding Mao 36, female, [-] years old, died in a car accident half a year ago , the last job I handled before I died was an application for cancellation of my mercenary license."

Li Mubai buried his face in the pillow, and silently narrowed his eyes.

"She didn't report the results of the process according to the normal procedures, and even cheated the applicant of the invalid license. A small clerk, of course, was instructed by someone behind her to do this. The whole thing was handled quite cleanly, so clean that even Neither the guild nor I can find the slightest clue, and the only thing that can do this in Chang'an City, other than your Huiguang, is Xuetu."

Feng He stroked Li Mubai's hair, and there was even a bit of a smile in his voice.

"Everything has a motive. At that time, Wang really knew that something would happen to Yang Xingxing, so he was prepared to go all out. And you also knew that something would happen to Yang Xingxing, and you even knew that Li Tieyi planned to use Yang Xingxing as a trick. Inducing Li Shen to turn against the Geng Army, so you plan to go along with the flow and use Li Tieyi's plan to kill Li Shen."

"However, Li Tieyi didn't count, and neither did you. Li Shen didn't make it back, so all of your plans fell through. It's just that Li Tieyi's plan fell through completely, but your plan still fell through anyway. For me, if Li Shen hadn't obtained Wang Zhen's license from Hades, I'm afraid I would have died in an ugly way."

Li Mubai muffled: "You deserve it."

Feng He laughed, grabbed the back of the man's neck with a smile, and lifted Li Mubai's head in front of his eyes. He looked at the other party with a smile, and proposed very seriously: "As a reward, do you want me to hang you naked like this?" Go to the top of the city, tell everyone in Chang'an to see what kind of slut Young Master Huiguang is? Or send you to the animal pen, and show them how flirty your [beep] is?"

Li Mubai was expressionless.

"Just joking." Feng He patted his cheek and kissed his smooth forehead.

"It's pitiful to see you, forget it."

………………

Li Shen returned to the hospital with the lunch box, entered the door, met Mu Xiaobai's eager eyes, and helped him sit up with some amusement, set up the dining table on the hospital bed, opened the lunch boxes one by one, picked up the chopsticks Feed a bun to someone.

Mu Xiaobai held the steamed stuffed bun in his mouth, squinting his eyes showing satisfaction.Then he widened his eyes slightly, watching Li Shen put another bun into his mouth.

"Boss...you didn't eat there?"

It took Li Shen half a second to understand the meaning of the question, slowly raised his eyelids, and said no.

I saw Mu Xiaobai showing a conflicted and struggling expression, hesitantly said: "If you haven't eaten, then... give you two buns?"

Waiting to see what the other party would say, Li Shen silently put down his chopsticks. At first he thought that this foodie would at least give him a bowl of tofu, but obviously, he underestimated the other party's shamelessness.

Mu Xiaobai saw that Li Shen's expression was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words: "Then, three..."

Li Shen chuckled, grabbed the lunch box and left, sat down on the sofa in the corner of the room, ate all the steamed stuffed buns, tofu brains, glutinous glutinous rice balls, and did not forget to express his thoughts——

"It's delicious, um, it's really delicious."

Mu Xiaobai turned over silently, tucked his head into the quilt, his heart was broken, he didn't want to talk.

………………

After walking out of the hospital, Li Shen called Lin Guo.

"Ah Guo, have you heard about Li Tieyi?" Li Shen asked in a low voice, holding the phone between his shoulders, opening the car door and getting in.

Lin Guo's voice sounded a little tired: "Well, although I don't know what's going on, it's a good thing for us."

"I'm going to talk to him." Li Shen started the car and said calmly, "Can you help me find out where he is?"

"I don't know how many people are staring at him right now, your identity is sensitive, don't go into this muddy water now." Lin Guodao, "You went to meet Li Mubai yesterday, what did you talk about?"

"It's nothing." Li Shen smiled, "He arrested Feng He and forced me to cancel my license, but I didn't agree."

Lin Guo was silent for a while, and said: "Come to the guild hall, I have something to tell you."

Li Shen was taken aback for a moment, then heard the other party hang up the phone.He originally planned to go to Li Tieyi, but what Lin Guo said just now was correct, and the timing is not right now.Li Tieyi's sudden announcement of the call to action was tantamount to exposing Huiguang's internal conflicts to the bright side. Since Li Shen didn't intend to take that seat, it's best not to meet with him now.

He drove straight to Nancheng, and when he reached the gate of the guild hall, he remembered that Li Xifeng had told him not to show his face in front of the members until the commander returned.But he has already reached the gate, and turning around again would be too guilty, and it would be even more criticized.Li Shen smiled wryly, drove the car into the parking lot, and strode into the hall building with a cold face. Sure enough, even the girl at the front desk looked at him strangely.

All kinds of malice came pouring in.

Li Shen walked into the elevator, glanced at the other people who had stopped outside and did not move, reached out and pressed the door close button.In the empty elevator, he closed his eyes and let out a breath, and stretched his neck, which was numb from the malicious prick, with a faint mockery in his heart.

The elevator reaches the 35th floor.

Li Shen stepped out of the elevator, suddenly remembered something, patted his head and walked back, went down to the second floor to buy a cup of hot milk, and asked the store to add more sugar.He returned to the 35th floor with the milk and pushed away Lin Guo's office.

The room was pitch black, the curtains were tightly closed, and the lights were not turned on. Li Shen reached out and fumbled for the switch by the door, and with a click, the light turned on.

"I said, can you change your habit of sleeping during the day?" Li Shen looked at Lin Guo, who was blatantly catching up on sleep during office hours with his feet on the table, and couldn't help but disgusted.

The tired Lin Guo glanced at him indifferently, lifted his body to take the glasses from the table, and put them on the bridge of his nose.Li Shen walked across the table and sat down, and handed over the milk he was holding. Lin Guo showed disgust and took a sip with a frown.

"So sweet."

"Didn't you tell me to put more sugar?" Li Shen said angrily, "In short, you drink it up for me, and don't leave a sip."

Lin Guo raised his cup and looked at him with his eyelids up. After a while, he closed his eyes and raised his neck, drinking the milk as if pouring poison.

"Cough." Lin Guo wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, frowned and said, "Let's get down to business, I called you here, there is something..." He hesitated for the first time, "About your identity, and the civil strife in Huiguang. "

Li Shen instinctively had some ominous premonition, "Tell me."

"Looking at it now, Li Tieyi and Li Mubai's quarrel is not a joke. I heard that he intends to make you his successor. Is this serious?" Lin Guo looked at Li Shen and asked.

Li Shen didn't respond, and nodded after a while.

"I have a plan." Lin Guodao, "You pretend to accept Li Tieyi's arrangement, and find ways to continue to intensify the conflict between him and Li Mubai. With your choice, he will not make peace with Li Mubai easily. At the same time, you We must try our best to understand the internal information of Huiguang, and try to get as much power as possible from Li Tieyi... When necessary, fight back."

Li Shen looked at him with an expression of listening to a joke.

"I understand." Li Shen said, "You want me to be a spy."

"If you miss an opportunity like this, you won't have it again." Lin Guo looked at him without flinching, and said seriously, "Since you choose to stay in the Geng Army, you should be clear about your position."

"I know, but I can't do that." Li Shen flatly refused, "You don't need to say any more, and I don't want to hear it either."

As he spoke, he stood up, turned around and left, with his hands on the doorknob, but he heard Lin Guodao behind him——

"Then you quit the Geng Army."
