Qu Yi was lying under a tree worrying about how to cooperate with the envoys sent by Yuan Xi. He didn't care at all about Mrs. Du being forced to marry.
Lu Bu's family affairs are none of his own business?
However, he found that Lu Lingqi's eyes rolled around and she looked over.
Qu Yi's heart skipped a beat. Could this young aunt have some evil ideas?
I have no intention of getting involved!
As a result, Lu Lingqi whispered something in Mrs. Du's ear. Mrs. Du looked confused at first, but finally nodded as if she had made up her mind and looked at Qu Yi.
Qu Yi wanted to run away right away. This is a critical moment, so don't cause trouble!
As a result, Lu Lingqi poured a cup of tea and came over. She bowed respectfully in front of Qu Yi and said sweetly: "Master, I would like to offer you some tea."
Qu Yi had never seen the usually violent Lu Lingqi like this. Goosebumps appeared all over his body. He turned his head and said, "No, no, I can't bear it."
Lu Lingqi scratched her head. She was pretending to be awkward in such a childlike manner!
Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly grabbed Qu Yi's sleeve, "Master, please help Mrs. Du, Ling'er, please!"
Qu Yi rolled his eyes, "It's all in vain, I just can't help it!"
Seeing that Qu Yi was unmoved, Lu Lingqi said bitterly: "Master is so cruel. I think my master is a hidden tiger, but he is also anxious for public good. Now my wife is being forced to marry, and master has done so much, can you bear to not help?"
Qu Yi said flatly: "I can't help."
Mrs. Du also came over, knelt on the ground and said: "Please help me, sir, to help me escape from the city. After that, whether I live or die, I will leave it to fate."
Lu Lingqi also helped: "Yinhu is so capable, sir, I have been following him, isn't there anything I can do?"
Qu Yi sneered after hearing this, "Don't come here!"
"If Yinhu were here, he would have the ability."
"But what can I, a mere warrior, do?"
“You can’t just fight your way out of the city, right?”
Lu Lingqi's eyes lit up after hearing this, "That sounds good!"
"Since Master won't help, then I'll escort my wife out of the city!"
Qu Yi snorted coldly: "If you dare to do this, I will tell Marquis Wen first."
"You are the noble daughter of Marquis Wen, what if something happens to you?"
He thought to himself, what a bastard, if you really want to do this, how can I get away with it?
And if you don’t do it sooner or later, you just did it when people from Youzhou are coming these days. Aren’t you trying to make trouble for me?
After hearing what Qu Yi said, Lu Lingqi pouted angrily and muttered: "Ling'er got the wrong master!"
Qu Yi has a good heart and it is best to see things wrong. I am this kind of person.
Seeing that Qu Yi was unreliable, Lu Lingqi immediately asked Mrs. Du to pack her things. She went to the back door to ask the carriage to leave the house, but when she arrived at the door, the guard sergeant asked her for a pass.
Lu Lingqi said angrily: "Do I need a token to come in and out?"
The sergeant said: "Girl, please calm down. This is Marquis Wen's order. There have been many events in the city recently. No one can be exempted from going in and out of the mansion."
Lu Lingqi was speechless after hearing this, and walked back to the yard, staring at Qu Yi pitifully.
Qu Yi thought to himself, it's useless for you to look at me, I will definitely not take action.
Lu Lingqi thought about it again and again and said, "If you help me this time, sir, I will also help you."
Just when Qu Yigang was about to refuse, he suddenly realized that Lu Lingqi might actually be of some use to the young master's next plan!
If Lu Lingqi could be allowed to blow some wind in Lu Bu's ears, wouldn't it be a great hope for Yuan Xi and Lu Bu to join forces?
And he just wanted to send Mrs. Du out of the city. As for whether she was eaten by wolves or robbed later, it had nothing to do with her.
Thinking of this, Qu Yi spoke up: "I'll think of a way, so you guys can stay calm for the next few days."
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi said happily, "I knew your husband wouldn't do anything to save you!"
She said mysteriously: "Mrs. Du's family is far away in Bingzhou. It would be best if Mr. Du could help her find the hidden tiger and help her return to her hometown!"
Qu Yi's face froze, it turns out you had such an idea!
Over the past few days, he had discovered that Lu Lingqi had an unusual obsession with Hidden Tiger. Even when practicing the halberd technique, she kept mumbling Hidden Tiger's name.
Seeing the wooden man who was his imaginary enemy being chopped to pieces by Lu Lingqi, especially the lower half of the wooden man, Qu Yi felt chills in his heart. Is he afraid that he has offended Lu Lingqi?
Now if Lu Lingqi really wants to follow Lu Lingqi's idea and send Mrs. Du to the young master, won't everything be exposed if Lu Lingqi follows the clues in the future?
When the time comes when the two sides break up, won't you be able to escape the involvement?
Qu Yi secretly scolded Lu Lingqi for thinking a lot at such a young age, so he could only say: "The Hidden Tiger has no fixed location. I was rescued by him back then and followed him as a bodyguard for several years. I have already repaid the favor of saving my life."
"As for where he is now, I don't know."
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi's face flashed with disappointment, but she still refused to give up, "When my father was in Yanzhou, Yinhu visited him twice, which shows that the place where he lived in seclusion must not be far from Yanzhou, and he came from the north.
, is it in Jizhou, or is it in Hanoi?"
Qu Yi just shook his head and didn't answer. Lu Lingqi saw that Qu Yi refused to accept the offer, so she made another plan, "Sir, you should know that it was the hidden tiger that sabotaged Mrs. Du's marriage, right?"
Qu Yi's face changed slightly, Lu Lingqi saw it and said proudly: "Sir, Ling'er must have been right!"
"When Qin Yilu sent Yinhu out of the city, he asked him for advice. After he came back, he went to Yuan Gongdao, married another clan daughter, and abandoned Mrs. Du!"
"Mr. was with Yinhu that day. Do you dare to say that this was not Yinhu's idea?"
Qu Yi's heart is sure that there is no wall in the world that is not strong enough. Qin Yilu asked for advice, and Yuan Xi did not avoid others. It was only a matter of time before someone with an intention to find out.
Mrs. Du whispered from the side: "I can't blame Mr. Yinhu for this matter. If my ex-husband doesn't have this intention, how can he listen to what he says?"
After hearing this, Qu Yi also sighed, "It's best if Madam thinks so."
He thought that Mrs. Du was also miserable. With such an appearance, she would be in trouble in her life.
The key point is that the Hidden Tiger you want to go to is not a calm person.
Thinking of what Yuan Xi had done, Qu Yi shook his head. Wasn't this sending Mrs. Du's sheep into the tiger's mouth?
Forget it, this is your choice, you can't blame me.
He said: "Then I will think of a way."
Lu Lingqi cheered.
Everyone was thinking about their own thoughts when they heard the sound of people outside, the clattering of horses' hooves, and the constant sound of wheels turning. It seemed that a motorcade was coming.
Qu Yi pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside the wall. He heard the front door of Lu Mansion open wide and the sound of people coming. It seemed that Lu Bu personally welcomed him out. He thought to himself that this was most likely someone sent from Youzhou.
He was a little curious as to who Yuan Xi sent this time. It couldn't be Guo Jia, could it?
Lu Bu welcomed Chen Gui in. They greeted each other and sat down respectively. Chen Gui asked his entourage to present the gift list.
Lu Bu took a closer look and found that the gift list was thick and had more than ten pages. When he looked through it one by one, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
These gifts are of great value and come in many varieties. Many of them include exotic goods from overseas, which are rarely seen in the Central Plains. Lu Bu once stayed with the emperor, and some of them have only heard the names but have never seen the real objects.
The fact that the other party was able to prepare such a gift shows that it was very thoughtful, and Lu Bu just needed such a batch of rare things as Lu Lingqi's dowry.
Lu Bu is a good-looking person. He comes from a poor background and has no real background. He is worried about Lu Lingqi's dowry. He is afraid that if he does not prepare everything thoroughly, he will be looked down upon by others if he marries into a wealthy family like Yuan Shu, so he has been thinking a lot about it recently.
Now that he was dozing off, someone gave him a pillow, which made him quite happy. The food at the end of the gift list didn't seem so urgent to him.
Chen Gui took a quick look at Lu Bu's expression and knew that things were exactly as the master expected. It seemed that Lu Bu really wanted to marry Yuan Shu.
Damn it, if I don’t mess up this matter, my surname will not be Chen!
Moreover, the food sent by Youzhou this time was not for Lu Bu to eat in vain. It was for Chen Gui to trick Lu Bu into falling out with Yuan Shu, so as to block Yuan Shu and serve the emperor's army.
Thinking of this, Chen Gui felt a lot of pressure. He was not sure whether he could persuade Lu Bu.
On the contrary, Yuan Xi was extremely confident in himself, which made Chen Gui not understand where Yuan Xi's confidence came from.
Lu Bu was so generous that he held a banquet in honor of Chen Gui and invited all his generals and counselors to accompany him. Chen Gong, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng and others were all present, and even Qu Yi was invited.
Qu Yi and Chen Gui had never met before. After hearing the introduction, they looked confused. Where did Yuan Xi find this person? Is he a member of the Xuzhou gentry?
Just after conquering Xuzhou, he recruited local scholars to do such an important thing. How can the young master not be afraid of bad things?
Can you trust the other person?
This cannot be doubted by Qu Yi. Strictly speaking, Qu Yi was the first to follow Yuan Xi.
Yuan Shao wanted to kill Qu Yi, but Yuan Xi saved him, causing Qu Yi to have a complicated view of the Yuan family.
Therefore, Qu Yi can trust Yuan Xi and treat other people with the spirit of a veteran.
From Qu Yi's point of view, now that Yuan Xi has sent Chen Gui, an old man who doesn't know the details, to do things, what should he do if he has been tricked?
Chen Gong looked on with cold eyes and saw Qu Yi and Chen Gui greeting each other. Judging from their movements and expressions, it seemed that the two of them did not know each other. Could he have thought wrong?
Chen Gong had doubts about whether Qu Yi still had contact with Jizhou.
Although it is well known that he was assassinated by Yuan Shao, it is not known that the hidden tiger that Qu Yi took refuge in had nothing to do with the Yuan family.
In fact, many people, when Yuan Xi rose to prominence, had thought of the relationship between the Yuan family's Fierce Tiger and Hidden Tiger. After all, the names were so similar and the time of appearance was so close, how could they not be suspicious?
Later, when Yuan Xi heard the news, he vomited three liters of blood. When he used the name Hidden Tiger to fool Lu Bu, he had not yet named him Ferocious Tiger. Who knew that the nobles would give him such a nickname in private?
As a result, by mistake, counselors from all the princes secretly suspected Yuan Xi's identity, including Chen Gong.
After all, Yinhu came from Jizhou to meet Lu Bu. Since he could stay in Jizhou, as a stargazer, would he have seen any of the Yuan clan members?
Moreover, in Chen Gong's view, although Yinhu pointed out a clear path for Lu Bu, and later proved that Yinhu was very good at predicting things, in the end, it turned out that he was always leading Lu Bu by the nose.
If the other party has other agendas, will they use Lu Bu to achieve some ulterior motives in the future?
Therefore, Chen Gong has always maintained a sense of vigilance in his heart, especially regarding Qu Yi, who visited some time ago, and even more suspicious of his true intention of coming to Hanoi.
Now he saw that Chen Gui and Qu Yi didn't seem to know each other, and Qu Yi was even vaguely hostile to them. He wondered if he had guessed wrong?
