"you know me?"
Li Yi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with confusion. The man was wearing a robe that was worth a lot at first glance. He was the kind of man who tried his best to hide his low profile, but could not hide the aura of wealth contained in his body.
Li Yi didn't remember knowing such a person. He didn't know many people in this world. The only people he really knew were Guo Yunkai and the group of low-level soldiers who had died in battle and had eaten with him.
Oh, by the way, there is also an old emperor, I think we know him.
As for the others, he really didn't know any of them.
"I, Marquis Wang Tianlai of the Western Pingyuan Mansion, are here. This is a separate courtyard of my Mansion. I was supposed to invite you to go to the Mansion for a talk, but the distance is too far. This is the closest."
"Wang Tianlai? I don't know you. Why are you looking for me?"
Li Yi glanced at the respectful middle-aged man in front of him, and suddenly thought of the reason why he came before.
"You just invited me here. Why do you use this method? Isn't the servant a human being?"
"Also, although this girl is a servant, she is also a member of Guo Shenjun. If you do this, aren't you afraid of provoking the Hansheng Guanbian Army?"
This is a bit harsh to say.
That's because Li Yi didn't know that in the Western Plains Mansion, in addition to the guards of the mansion master and Han Shengguan, the local squires and local forces accounted for a large part of the population.
For example, the person in front of me, although he is only a small local marquis in the Valen Empire, would be nothing in the imperial capital.
But in this western plain mansion, besides Palace Master Liu and Chen Zhenshou, he is the leading big shot.
Apart from anything else, this magnificent-looking courtyard was actually bought temporarily to entertain Li Yi.
The Marquis even rushed directly from the capital of the Western Province to the vicinity of Hansheng Pass just to see him.
Hearing what Wang Tianlai said, Li Yi not only didn't feel flattered, but was even more confused.
He even vaguely smelled a very bad smell.
As for what it is, it is not yet clear.
"What are you looking for me for?"
Li Yi looked careless. He had done what he had to do and was just waiting for the results. Naturally, he didn't care about the people and things here. Even when Guo Yunkai came to see him several times, he ignored him.
He wasn't planning to stay here any longer, so naturally he didn't want to have too many contacts with people in this time and space.
After all, the more contact he has, the more entangled he will be with this time and space given his abilities.
If the entanglement is too deep and something unexpected happens, the problem may become more serious.
He didn't want to stay in a place that didn't belong to this time and space, and wasn't the Blue Star he was familiar with, for a long time.
Therefore, he decided not to pay attention to what the other party said, and would leave as long as he solved this small matter about Xiaohong.
As a result, as soon as the other party spoke, he immediately gave up the idea of staying out of the matter.
"I know you are looking for someone. It just so happens that our family has some connections in the Western Plains Prefecture. The person you are looking for..."
"Have you seen her? Where?"
Before Wang Tian could finish speaking, Li Yi interrupted him directly.
As if he had expected Li Yi's attitude, Wang Tianlai showed a self-satisfied smile on his face, and his originally respectful expression suddenly became much calmer.
"Of course, I came here today just to get to know you, sir. I wonder if you could come to your house and have a chat with me..."
"If you don't go, you won't tell me where I am?"
Li Yi spoke calmly, the anxious expression just now flashed away, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
But in Wang Tianlai's eyes, this kind of smile was a bit outrageous.
According to the information passed back by the family, this young man who for some reason replaced Chen Zhen to supervise the battle, not only single-handedly defeated the commander of the Daman Legion, but also controlled all the remaining captains.
This is simply a great victory that has never been achieved since the establishment of Xianshengguan.
And judging from his appearance, this young man looks exactly like Chen Zhenshou when he was young.
So the news that the guard had an illegitimate son and turned the tide at the critical moment began to spread among the people.
And because this is a good thing, it is equivalent to informing without announcing that the Lord Guard has a new generation.
Even if Guo Yunkai knew about this kind of thing, he would not stop it.
He had been trying every means to keep Li Yi.
Even if it doesn't work, it would be good to spread Li Yi's reputation among the people.
So I just let it go.
It would not be difficult for people like Wang Tianlai and others to know this kind of shady information at the first time.
Naturally, Wang Tianlai was very familiar with this man's heroic deeds and appearance.
Although he had just seen the first after-sales service, he was still a little skeptical.
But Li Yi only calmed down a little, and Wang Tianlai and Marquis Wang immediately felt something was wrong.
It felt like he was in a cold cellar, and above him, there was a peerless ferocious beast, staring at him with slobbering fangs and sharp teeth.
It's like staring at a delicious meal!
Marquis Wang is just an ordinary person, but he is also a businessman who is good at observing words and emotions.
Originally, with his status, he didn't need to do such a thing.
At least in the three-thirds of an acre of land in Western Plains Mansion, there were really not many people who could humble him.
Liu Chengyong and Master Liu count as one.
Chen Han, the guard of Hansheng Pass, also counts as one.
Logically speaking, even if it is true as the rumors say, the young man in front of him is the illegitimate son of Chen Zhenshou, who will replace Chen Han to turn the tide at the most critical moment.
But given his status and seniority, Marquis Wang was a close friend of Chen Han, so there was really no need to establish friendship with such a young man.
Still in this attitude.
Therefore, there must be someone who can make the Marquis Wang in front of him take a look at Li Yigao.
That person, and probably only that person, could have such great energy.
"Sir, you mean a girl? That's really a misunderstanding. I didn't threaten this girl with anyone or anything. Girl, don't you think so?"
As Wang Tianlai said this, he looked at the girl Xiaohong beside him, with his hand reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person.
"Huh? Oh, yes, this is my first time meeting this old gentleman. He is not the one who said that to me that day."
As a servant of the Guo Mansion, Xiaohong's ability to observe people's emotions is not bad at all.
Although he did not see the supposedly powerful Marquis wink at him.
He didn't dare to wink in front of Li Yi.
But the smart Xiaohong still saw it.
If this matter can be done, then nothing will happen to Xiaohong and her sister, and they may get a lot of benefits.
But if you mess up...
Xiaohong's mind flashed for a while, and she immediately "understood" all the details here, and gave Wang Tianlai the answer he wanted most.
"Are you sure? Why do I feel like this guy doesn't seem like a good person?"
Li Yi pretended to frown and looked at the leader of the powerful force who could at least be ranked among the top five in the Western Plains Prefecture.
He has a round head, a middle-aged and stout figure, and an aura of wealth and wealth all over his body.
And a fake smile on his face...
Well, he does look like a bad guy.
"Sir, I misunderstood. I, Lao Wang, am a very kind person. If you don't believe me, go for a walk with me on the street and ask. Is there anyone who doesn't know that I, Lao Wang, am a very kind person?"
"A kind man? That's the best. It just so happens that the city wall in front of the Xiangsheng Pass is damaged. Our Guo Shenjun is worried that he has no money to repair it. You are so rich, why don't you just donate the money? ?”
Donate money?
Wang Tianlai's expression changed when he heard this, but it soon turned into a burst of boldness.
A big wave of his hand.
"Donate! I will donate. As long as it is your order, sir, I, Wang Tianlai, have no shirk. Besides, the people of the Western Plains Prefecture are what I, Wang Tianlai, value the most, so there is no problem. So, sir, can you please come in?"
Li Yi glanced at him and felt that there was no point in continuing to refuse like this, so he simply nodded.
"Okay, then I'll go with you and lead the way!"
"Hey, please come this way."
Hearing that Li Yi finally agreed, Wang Tianlai, who was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.
