Chapter 1684: Hit It Off

That night, Lu Yu's carriage was welcomed into the city by Marquis Huayin, and he came to Tong Mansion as the lord.

Once the news came out, the whole Kangding City was shaken.

"What's going on?"

"Is the Huayin Marquis family really going to enter Xihai City?"

"The dignified Huayin Marquis, the dignified Tong family, this is too spineless!"

"This is a provocation to the imperial power! The Imperial Capital will definitely not agree to this!"

"Forget it! Since the Huayin Marquis family has no objection, what's the point of the Imperial Capital agreeing or not? Can the Imperial Capital turn against Xihai City at this time?"

"This Xihai City is too arrogant! For a dignified Marquis family, they dare to use force to intimidate and coerce them. It's too lawless! Is there no one who can control them?"

"This matter is too strange! No matter what, the Huayin Marquis family is also He is a local tyrant, how could he be so easily subdued by Xihai City? "

"Hey, you don't know, do you? It is said that it was not only people from Xihai City who appeared in Huayin Marquis's mansion that night, but also people from Yunyan Pavilion who were with Xihai City at that time!"

"What? Yunyan Pavilion?"

"Could it be that Yunyan Pavilion is actually in collusion with Xihai City?"

"Could it be that Xihai City has already gained widespread support from Yunyan Pavilion?"

"This may not be impossible... It is said that the beauty beside the special envoy Lu was originally prepared by Yunyan Pavilion for Duke Hengyue? But this person got there first, maybe they reached a secret agreement because of this!"

...

A stone stirs up a thousand waves.

The whole Kangding City was in a turmoil, but the Huayin Marquis family was very down-to-earth and began to sell off various ethnic products and materials, as if they were already making preliminary preparations for the migration of the whole family.

Such a situation made everyone's discussion on this matter reach an unprecedented level.

At this time, the envoy from the Imperial Capital finally arrived and went directly to the Mansion of Huayin Marquis Tong to meet Lu Yu.

"Special Envoy Lu, I have heard of you for a long time! I have heard of your reputation in the past few months. Now I finally meet you. You are indeed a heroic young man, and your reputation is well-deserved!"

The man's name is Li Zhengxuan. He is the Zhanshi of the Zhanshi Mansion. Although his rank is not high, he is responsible for handling the emperor's internal affairs on a daily basis and is highly trusted by Emperor Da Rui.

In the Imperial Capital, he was originally a very influential figure, but in front of Lu Yu, he did not dare to put on any airs. After all, there have been so many precedents. Anyone who puts on airs in front of him will not end well. Even His Majesty the Emperor almost lost face. Naturally, Li Zhengxuan will not make himself look bad.

"Zhanshi Li, you are finally here! You really made me wait for so long! I hope you can bring me good news this time!" Lu Yu said with a smile.

Li Zhengxuan smiled: "Don't worry, Envoy Lu. Since I'm here, I've brought good news... I just don't know if Envoy Lu has any good news for me to take back?"

Lu Yu said: "If it wasn't for you, Li Zhanshi, to bring back good news, why would I have been waiting here until now?"

Li Zhengxuan smiled even more amiably: "If that's the case, then I'm relieved!"

Then, the two of them got straight to the point and hit it off.

In fact, by now, Lu Yu has almost figured out the bottom line of Emperor Da Rui.

First of all, the other party obviously wants to see him. Whether it is for the suppression of the external Hengyue Principality or for the deterrence of the internal party, he needs the support of Xihai City.

Otherwise, he would not have summoned him from thousands of miles away, and after he proposed such an excessive request that the Huayin Marquis family be incorporated into Xihai City, he still hesitated and tangled for so long. This hesitation itself shows his attitude.

The other party's biggest concern at this time was probably that Xihai City was too difficult to control. Just a special envoy had caused so much trouble. What if it was the lord of Xihai City behind the scenes?

Therefore, if this drama wanted to continue, Lu Yu had to reassure the other party.

So, he said directly to the other party: "Li Zhanshi, please give me a name!"

Li Zhengxuan was stunned: "What name?"

Lu Yu smiled coldly: "What else can it be? Your Majesty wants to see me, but someone doesn't want me to see Your Majesty. This time, it is obvious that someone wants to provoke the relationship between our Xihai City and Your Majesty. No matter who this person is, what kind of idea is behind it, since he dares to reach out to me and Your Majesty, he must pay the price!"

Li Zhengxuan was stunned for a long time before saying: "Special Envoy Lu... is really a frank person!"

Lu Yu smiled : "Li Zhanshi, His Majesty has suffered such a big loss this time. As His Majesty's confidant, you can't tell me that you don't even have a suspect yet?"

Li Zhengxuan said: "This matter seems confusing on the surface, but as long as you carefully observe who is waving the flag and shouting in the court, you can know who is the driving force behind the scenes. We naturally have a suspect in our hearts... But, this person is not easy to touch!"

Lu Yu smiled and said: "It may be difficult to deal with it with a serious method, but I have many unorthodox methods. Li Zhanshi, don't worry, just tell me the name, as for whether it can be done in the end, I will find a way!"

Li Zhengxuan rolled his eyes and asked, "Envoy Lu is so confident, is he planning to borrow the power of Yunyan Pavilion again?"

Lu Yu noticed that the other party looked different, and couldn't help but think: "Li Zhanshi seems to have something to say?"

Li Zhengxuan smiled lightly and said, "The name that Envoy Lu wants to inquire about is actually closely related to Yunyan Pavilion. It is said that he is a close friend of Elder Kong of Yunyan Pavilion's Qingshitan... I don't know how deep the relationship between Envoy Lu and Yunyan Pavilion is, can he be moved?"

Lu Yu was slightly stunned.

At this time, he realized that Yunyan Pavilion's forces were involved in the Hou Party.

But this is normal. Yunyan Pavilion's Qingshitan is mainly responsible for various affairs within the Darui Empire. It would be strange if they did not collude with various forces in the Darui Empire.

Perhaps the dispute between the Darui Imperial Party and the Hou Party is also inseparable from the Qingshitan behind the scenes.

After thinking through all this, Lu Yu immediately understood the hidden meaning behind Li Zhengxuan's words just now.

This was actually another test question from the other party, wanting to see what the relationship between him and Yunyan Pavilion was like.

So, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "If Li Zhanshi wants to know the answer, then just tell me the name!"
