Although Jiang Yi didn't finish his words, the meaning behind them was self-evident.

Pei Xiangyun was shocked, and almost immediately retorted: "It's absolutely impossible!"

Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows: "Why are you so excited? But just mention it casually, let it be if you don't want to."

Pei Xiangyun moved his lips, and said in a blunt tone: "Master, I won't like him."

"If you don't like it, then you don't like it..." Jiang Yi said indifferently, "He will be packing up soon, let's go."

Pei Xiangyun took a few steps towards the door, then turned around hesitantly: "Master, please be careful."

Jiang Yi gave an impatient "hmm".

After Jiang Shuci also left the room, his face slowly turned cold.

Jiang Yi suddenly met a person who looked half or six times similar to himself, Jiang Yi couldn't help but be suspicious.

It is indeed possible that there are people with similar looks in this world, but there is no such a coincidence that it happened that Pei Xiangyun brought them back at this juncture.

And Pei Xiangyun's attitude was not right.

Jiang Yi boasted that he knew a little about this traitor, and knew that although he had a bad personality, under his discipline in this life, he was no longer as casually angry with irrelevant people as before.

This is strange.

While he was thinking about it, the door was knocked several times from the outside.

"Master Jiang, did you rest well yesterday?" Mu Hongcai's voice sounded from outside, "I'm concerned about my lord, so I thought I'd come here to ask if you didn't entertain me well?"

Jiang Yi got up and opened the door, and saw a flattering face.

For no reason, he thought of the so-called "fat head and big ears" that Jiang Shuci said the night before, and his expression froze: "Thank you, County Magistrate Mu, for your concern. I can rest well."

"As long as you are satisfied, as long as you are satisfied."

Mu Hongcai's smile squeezed the flesh on his face into a ball, making him look extraordinarily slippery.

He was already shorter than Jiang Yi, but now he stood on tiptoe at the door and looked inside for a while before continuing, "Where's the little brother who was with Mr. Jiang yesterday?"

Jiang Yi smiled kindly: "He is young and can't take time off. He ran out to play after he arrived at the new place. What does County Magistrate Mu want from him?"

"No, no..." Mu Hongcai smiled dryly, "It's just that the servant told me this morning that a thief seemed to have sneaked into the mansion the night before and came to the guest room where the lord lives. I want to ask if the lord has any I've seen suspicious people."

thief?

It is estimated that those two people were seen by others, but they didn't look very carefully, which allowed them to escape.

Jiang Yi said calmly, "I've never seen it before. Last night, I was exhausted from traveling and traveling, so I took a rest early."

After he finished speaking, he changed his considerate expression very suitably: "Is there something missing, do you need my help to find it?"

County magistrate Mu quickly shook his head: "Don't bother Mr. Jiang, I didn't lose anything, but I just came here to ask because I was afraid that the thieves would disturb the distinguished guests."

"Magistrate Mu originally came here for this matter..." Jiang Yi said, "Is there anything else?"

Mu Hongcai heard the meaning of driving away guests in his words, and quickly said: "Actually, the lower official really wanted to clean up Mr. Jiang, so he prepared a dinner without authorization. I would like to invite you to have a drink and talk tonight."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to remember how Jiang Yi rejected him the day before, and added: "Your Majesty Jiang, don't worry, it was definitely a banquet arranged before the curfew, and the last incident will definitely not happen again."

"But I'm leaving tomorrow..." Jiang Yi said, "It's not very convenient. There will be opportunities in the future."

Mu Hongcai gave a "tsk" and said anxiously: "Isn't that leaving tomorrow? Mr. Jiang is usually busy with affairs, and finally got some free time. Wouldn't it be a pity if he didn't take a break and enjoy the delicious food and wine in Chengdeng County? gone?"

Jiang Yi pondered for a long while, seeming to be attracted by his proposal: "Since Magistrate Mu is so enthusiastic, it's hard for me to turn down my hospitality, but when and where will this banquet be?"

Seeing that he agreed, Mu Hongcai was overjoyed: "Today, at Youshi, I will send someone to take you there. You don't have to worry about it."

"Can I bring others?" Jiang Yi asked, "The little brother who came with me, and mine..."

Mu Hongcai showed a distressed expression: "Master Jiang, our Chengdeng County is a small county with limited funds, so we can only entertain you alone. You don't have to worry about being deserted at that time. I will accompany you to have a good drink. What do you think?" ?”

Jiang Yi looked at him with great interest for a while, then nodded in response: "The guest can do as he pleases, and then follow the arrangements of County Magistrate Mu."

The two happily said some polite words, and Mu Hongcai left happily.

When the door was closed, the gentle smile on Jiang Yi's face disappeared without a trace.

Tonight's "cleansing the dust and meeting the wind" banquet is probably a Hongmen banquet, and even blatantly refused to bring other people to the appointment.

But knowing that this was a Hongmen banquet, Jiang Yi had no choice but to go through it.

There was a cold look in his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he turned and went to the room where Li Youchuan lived.

-

As You approached, the sky outside gradually darkened.

Pei Xiangyun and Jiang Shuci hadn't returned from the outside yet, so they probably encountered something suspicious in the cave.

Jiang Yi was not too worried about what would happen to Pei Xiangyun.The strength and courage of this wolf cub are different from ordinary people, and even if it is a one-to-many match, it is rarely a disadvantage.

It can be used very well, and it is indeed a very good knife.

He dressed neatly, left a note in the room to inform Pei Xiangyun of his whereabouts, and then took a few important documents with him.As soon as it was tidied up, there was a knock on the door.

There was a young man standing outside the door, and he gave a slight salute when he saw him.

Jiang Yi followed him downstairs, but instead of walking the same way they had come a few days ago, he bypassed the main hall and turned into an inconspicuous passageway.

This aisle seems to be sandwiched between the gap between two walls, it is very narrow, and only one person can pass through.

On the walls on both sides stood a few copper lamps for holding candles, which looked like animal heads. The bronze eyes were red with the candlelight, revealing a hint of malevolence.

This corridor is too hidden.

Jiang Yi hadn't asked where the boy was taking him, but suddenly a bright light appeared in front of him.

This is a small but delicate darkroom.

Mu Hongcai was wearing a dark red robe with a roaring tiger's head embroidered with gold thread on the wide sleeves. When he saw someone coming, he smiled heartily and said, "Master Jiang, are you satisfied with this place?"

Jiang Yi looked around the dark room calmly: "I didn't expect that your mansion would have such a treasured place, it really is a hidden world."

"When a high-ranking official talks, it's different."

Mu Hongcai rubbed his hands and smiled, and winked at the boy.The servant bowed slightly and stepped back, a woman with a gauze on her face stepped forward from behind him, saluted with a smile.

The carved wooden door closed behind the woman with a "bang", Jiang Yi frowned and looked at Mu Hongcai: "What does Magistrate Mu mean by this?"

"I said that I won't let Mr. Jiang be too deserted. This is some small sincerity of the lower officials..." Mu Hongcai filled the wine glass in front of him, "It is really a rare beauty in the world to pair good wine with a beautiful woman."

Jiang Yi raised his hand to take the wine cup and thanked him.The candle on the table was lit by the woman, finally illuminating the drowsy small room.

This small room is not big, with this solid wooden table it can accommodate at most seven or eight people, but now there are only three people in the room, it seems much more spacious.

Jiang Yi sat on the main seat beside the table, facing him was a statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

The bodhisattva was carved out of unknown stone, with a jade-like luster faintly revealing between the grains.

The whole statue is about the height of an adult man, with a clean bottle in his right hand and a willow branch in his left hand, his eyes are slightly closed, and he looks down on all living beings compassionately.

Hold the clean bottle in your right hand?

Jiang Yi was a little confused, even not sure if his memory was accurate.

Doesn't the Bodhisattva hold the clean bottle in his left hand?

Before he had time to think about it, Mu Hongcai said again: "Master Jiang, this wine tastes sweet, and it will definitely leave you with endless aftertaste."

This is urging him to drink.

"I don't drink well..." Jiang Yi said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'll get drunk too quickly and spoil County Magistrate Mu's interest."

Mu Hongcai waved his hand: "Where is it, Mr. Jiang is willing to drink at the same table with the lower official, and it is too late for the lower official to be happy, so how can he spoil the fun?"

Looking at his attitude, Jiang Yi knew that he had to drink.

He raised his hand to hold the wine glass to his lips, and the wide sleeve robe covered his hands, which happened to block the glass.

The wine dripped from the lips, and a dark color was formed on the fabric of the clothes.

Jiang Yi pointed the bottom of the cup to County Magistrate Mu: "One cup is enough, I really can't bear too much."

"Where is it."

Regardless of his dissuasion, Mu Hongcai filled the wine glass again.

A trace of unhappiness flashed across Jiang Yi's eyes.

This Mu Hongcai is really bold.

It seems that after finding out that Pei Xiangyun was not there today, he didn't want to pretend at all, and it was obvious that he was going to get himself drunk and not do good things.

The woman standing next to her was not here to make a beauty lamp, and she was very eager to add food and serve wine.

It's just that Jiang Yi didn't move the food she served.

"Master Jiang, is the food not to your liking?" Mu Hongcai said, "I haven't seen you touch your chopsticks very much. If you are not satisfied, just mention it. The next official will ask them to make it again."

"Don't bother the servants."

Jiang Yi raised his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile: "I heard it long ago when I was in Yandu, saying that the county magistrate Mu was born as a Jinshi at a young age, and he didn't want to be an official in Yandu, but went back to his hometown to be an official. magistrate."

Mu Hongcai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect him to suddenly mention this matter: "Master Jiang is absurd, it happened many years ago, how can you compare with Master Jiang?"

"Magistrate Mu is too self-effacing, how can he not be regarded as a young talent?" Jiang Yi said, "Drinking alone is not fun, and the two of us are indeed a little deserted. Is Magistrate Mu willing to use drinking orders to cheer up the fun??"

"what?"

Mu Hongcai wiped his forehead, and smiled a little forcedly: "Master Jiang just said..."

"I asked whether the county magistrate of Mu would like to use the wine order to add to the fun."

Jiang Yi said empathetically, "Maybe it's because my voice was too low for Magistrate Mu to hear clearly."

Mu Hongcai coughed dryly: "Since it was the lower official who invited Mr. Jiang to the banquet, then the lower official will naturally accompany him to the end."

Jiang Yi took the initiative to push the wine glass to the woman's hand, motioning for her to fill up the wine: "The space here is too small, it's inconvenient to carry out orders, can I follow the order with County Magistrate Mu?"

It was only at this time that Mu Hongcai understood what he meant when he suddenly mentioned his background as a Jinshi, and suddenly cold sweat covered his forehead.

"Master Jiang, my subordinate suddenly..."

"Oh?"

Jiang Yi propped his cheeks and looked at him with a slight smile, his peach blossom eyes sparkled under the candlelight: "Could Magistrate Mu be afraid of losing and want to break his promise?"

"how come."

Mu Hongcai avoided his gaze, and stopped thinking about leaving the table: "I said I want to have fun with Mr. Jiang, so naturally I want to have fun."

"It's so good..." Jiang Yi said, "Then let's use the Feihua Order. It's simple. What do you think of County Magistrate Mu?"

Mu Hongcai couldn't say anything else, he could only nod his head in agreement.

Jiang Yi looked at him with a smile, and didn't seem to notice the panic and restlessness on his face. He said slowly: "Today there is a banquet, so let's use the word "wine" as the title. County Magistrate Mu will start first."
