the world

"You can go in."

When Lian Haidu returned to the hall, what he saw was the gopher kneeling on the ground holding a broken sword in his hand, and Zi Ye with the knife sheathed, he raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

"Lian Haidu, I know this man. He betrayed my husband and joined the warrior camp. Then he escaped and became a bandit. Today he became a warrior again. He is a treacherous, double-faced, selfish man." Ziye said loudly in front of the gopher.

The squirrel's complexion was very bad, and he saluted Lianhaidu, "Master Lianhaidu, please don't listen to this woman's one-sided words. In this world, life is more important than friendship. I think my lord will understand what I did. .”

"Oh? I hate disloyal people."

"Aren't there many big shots in this world who betray the water? As far as I know, Yifei Liuyu of Yishui also betrayed the previous king and turned to the woman of heavenly knowledge. I also hope that Lord Lianhaidu will not be against this woman because of this woman." I'm biased."

"It's not up to you." Lian Haidu glanced at the gopher, "Remember, I have the right to dispose of you."

Zi Ye asked, "Lian Haidu, why does he want to meet the lady of Heaven's Knowledge? It's just that if he wants to turn against you, can't you deal with it directly?"

"He guarantees that he has something very important to tell the woman of heavenly knowledge."

"...Gopher, what important things can you do? With your virtue, can you get any secrets?"

"Master Ruoye is waiting, let him report first." Lian Haidu said.

"Let me talk to Lady Tianzhi first. I have been with gophers for several years, at least I can give Lady Tianzhi some information."

"Okay, you go first." Lian Haidu nodded.

Looking at the figure leaving from Ye, the gopher is like a light on his back.Leaving aside why Ziye appeared here, as far as he knew, Lian Haidu was the most important retainer of the Heavenly Conscientious Women under Liu Yu. His character was very arrogant as he saw, but he talked with Ziye in a pleasant manner.They didn't feel like they were superior or inferior, but communicated skillfully and harmoniously.

What is her status in Zi Ye's mansion in Tianzhi Women's Mansion? !

After a while, Ziye came back, and she raised her head towards the gopher, indicating that he could go in.

The gopher didn't have the heart to be angry at Zi Ye's arrogant behavior, he just felt that after a long time, his palms were covered with cold sweat.

He was led by Lian Haidu and walked towards the edge until he saw a figure projected on the door, which was the shadow of a woman with loose long hair.

Although the gopher has long been mentally prepared, he still finds it incredible that the lord he is going to join is a woman.

"come in."

Lian Haidu then pushed open the sliding door, Taki Ruoye put her hand on the low table, raised her eyelids and looked at the gopher.

The gopher didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly knelt down and pressed his head to the ground, "Greetings, Mrs. Tianzhi, I have a precious piece of information that I want to present to Mrs. Tianzhi, this information can even affect the direction of a country. "

"Get up and talk."

The gopher looked up, only to realize that Lian Haidu and Ziye were sitting on both sides of Taki Ruoye, which was closer to Taki Ruoye between him and Taki Ruoye.

"..." The gopher looked at them, then looked hesitantly at Taki Ruoye.

"It's okay, they are all my trusted retainers." Taki Ruoye saw the gopher staring at her for a few seconds, then quickly lowered her head.

"...Zi Ye has been involved with this servant before, and I implore the Lady of Heavenly Knowledge to let Zi Ye leave."

"You used to be under Fire Bag, right?" Taki Ruoye didn't respond to Gopher's request, but instead asked about his past affairs.

"Yes."

"Afterwards you betrayed the fire bag and became a warrior, and then became a bandit again because the general who recruited you only treated you as abandoned sons, and now you became a warrior of the 99 clan, and today you betrayed the 99 clan and took refuge in Yi Water. This kind of experience is quite rich.”

"I was attracted by the generous treatment promoted by the 99th. I didn't expect that it was just the soldiers of the 99th to make up for the losses in the battle with Yishui. My brothers and I were sent to the feint attack team to attract firepower, saying it was a feint attack, no Is it to die? My brothers and I killed the other soldiers of the 99th clan in the feint attack team, and took refuge under Lord Lianhaidu's banner."

"You should know that it is very difficult for you to find a next family after your experience." Taki Ruoye said, "However, if Ziye is not here, no one will know about your past."

"The name of Lady Tianzhi is known all over the world. Lady Tianzhi is not one of those generals, and I will definitely not betray Lady Tianzhi." The gopher quickly expressed his loyalty.

"What are you trying to say?"

The gopher looked up at Taki Ruoye's expression, knowing that she would not let Ziye go, and said: "When I was still under the fire bag, I found that the fire bag would hold it when the brothers were asleep from time to time. The best loot he harvested left, he must have hidden them all. I tried to find out where his treasure was, but he was too cautious to let me catch it. Obviously the brothers fought together He secretly hid all the treasures that came here, is this what a leader should do? He was only doing it for himself! I guess the amount of treasure must be quite large..."

"That's it?" Taki Ruoye's answer made Gopher's more excited words freeze.

Not only Taki Ruoye and Lian Haidu, but even Zi Ye, who he thought would panic, showed speechless expressions.

The gopher knows the character of the boss, he is rough but subtle, and he must have told Ziye about the treasure.He has also been looking for Ziye, eager to find this treasure for his own use.But recently the life of the gopher has become more and more difficult, and even survival has become a problem.He didn't trust Tianzhinv as he said, and even felt that Tianzhinv would use him as an abandoned child like them, so he decided to sell this information to Tianzhinv to gain attention.Use the power of the woman of heavenly knowledge to find Ziye, and then get a share of it.

When the gopher saw Zi Ye, although he was horrified, he didn't think she would ruin his business, and even had a premonition that he could pull her off the horse.

Because the boss didn't know that he already knew about the treasure, Zi Ye must have thought that only she knew about it.

Based on the gopher's understanding of Ziye, it is impossible for her to tell the treasure to the woman of heavenly knowledge.Since night, she would rather take Dororo's food and sleep in the open than go looking for treasures after a hungry meal, or betray the news to the lord, which proves that she has the same incomprehensible thoughts as the boss.

So she must have kept it from the woman of heavenly knowledge.

"Lianhaidu, I'll leave it to you and Ziye to deal with it, if you have nothing to do, just leave." Taki Ruoye said.

"it is good."

Lian Haidu and Ziye got up, the gopher wanted to say something, but Lian Haidu glanced at him from top to bottom, "Let's go."

"Zi Ye, what do you want to do with him?" Lian Hai Du asked Zi Ye.

"...Thank you, let's throw him out. After all, he betrayed 99 Clan's information and took refuge with the Lady of Heavenly Knowledge. If we punish him, such news will spread to the Lady of Heavenly Knowledge. His reputation is bad." Zi Ye said in a low voice, "I don't take him seriously now, when he let me and Dororo go, I won't kill him today either."

"Zi Ye, your heart is really soft."

"... Can my behavior be judged as soft-hearted by you? The days after the gopher will not be easy."

"Gopher, although the information you brought is useless and has troubled the lady of heavenly knowledge, you have brought me precious front-line information after all. I will make you the commander of a hundred people. How about it?" Lian Haidu narrowed his eyes. eyes, said in a brisk tone.

"Huh?!—Thank you, Lord Lianhaidu!" The gopher, whose mood had fallen to a trough, suddenly felt a turnaround, and quickly thanked him.

"You take your brothers to defend the city that was captured today." Lian Haidu said lightly.

The gopher's smile collapsed in an instant, and he betrayed the 99th family, asking him to defend the city that he conquered today, wouldn't he have to risk his life to defend it? !Lianhaidu really lived up to its reputation.

Ziye glanced at Lian Haidu, then looked away, and smiled.

After the gopher was taken down, Ziye knelt and sat down beside her, "There are still Osechi dishes in the kitchen, and today hasn't passed yet."

"I'm going to take a shower first. I thought the gopher really had something to tell Mr. Luo Ye, what a waste of time."

"Okay, then I'll take the food to your room, and you can rest here tomorrow."

The servants lit a fire for him, and boiled water under the bathhouse, and the steam was sent to the bathhouse from the cage.Lian Haidu took off his armor and clothes, rinsed it first, and then sat in the steam for a while, feeling his stiff muscles relax before he walked out of the bathhouse.

It was very hot in the steam bath, and when Lian Haidu came out, he only wore a single shirt, exposing the skin from his collarbone to his waist and abdomen.

When he first came outside, the heat did not dissipate, nor did he feel cold.He dismissed the attendants who stopped boiling water, stood in the courtyard watching the snowflakes for a while, and walked back to his room silently.

Lian Haidu saw that the light was on in his room, and thought it was Ziye who lit it for him. He moved his shoulders and arms, and opened the sliding door, but saw a figure from behind.

"Lord Luo Ye?"

"You're back."

In front of Taki Wakaha's short table was the Osechi dish that Ziye had told him about. Taki Wakaha rested his elbows on the short table, raised his face and looked at him. There is a layer of warm yellow light on the leaves.

"I would have washed it sooner if I had known." Lian Haidu smiled and sighed.

Lian Haidu didn't close the sliding door, so he left the whole door empty, and the brazier inside the house was burning very well, which could resist the intruding chill for the time being.

He sat down opposite Taki Ruoye, "As long as there is a little light on a snowy night, it will look very bright, but it's a pity that falling snow and a bright moon cannot have both."

"Don't you have it now?"

The layers of clouds that blocked the moon dispersed, and the pure moonlight shone on the snow, shining brightly.

"What a pleasure!" Lian Haidu laughed loudly, facing the snowy scenery in the courtyard, he spread out the lacquer box and ate it to his heart's content.

"I remember the first time we met, you never called me that again." Taki Ruoye, like Lian Haidu, sat facing the courtyard, leaning on the low table with one hand to support her head, and the other With one hand on his knee, he looked at the distinct patches of snow outside.

Lian Haidu slightly turned his face to look at Taki Ruoye's face, and smiled, "Happy New Year, young lady."
