29. The twenty-ninth step of the minister
Hu Li picked up the account book, turned a few pages, and sneered, "Just look at what you've done all these years?" ”
Wang Lu, who originally wanted to sit down, squatted down and slowly sat on the stool, "I didn't listen to you back then, and now no matter how much I regret it, there is no way back." ”
Hu Li took advantage of Wang Lu's inattention and bared his teeth at Xiao Qiao, who was standing by the window, what should I do next?
Xiao Qiao curled the corners of his mouth and motioned for him to bring the account book. Hu Li floated to the window without touching the ground, and handed the account book to Xiao Qiao.
Wang Lu, who was watching Hu Li's movements, saw the figure outside the window at this time, and quickly turned his head to look at Hu Li, "You are not Xiao Ran, who are you?" Wang Lu shouted loudly, and just wanted to open his mouth to call someone, but was interrupted by Xiao Qi'ao, "Lord Wang, I advise you to keep quiet, otherwise you will really have to be abandoned." ”
Wang Lu's words were swallowed immediately, and he looked at the blurred figure outside the window, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
Xiao Qiao supported the windowsill with one hand, jumped into the room gently, and touched Hu Li's long silky hair that had spread out with a smile, "Lord Wang is in a bad situation now, I have a way to let Lord Wang get out of this man-eating whirlpool alive, it depends on whether Lord Wang is willing to cooperate with me." ”
Wang Lu squinted his eyes to look at Xiao Qiao, just looking at the bearing of his body, he knew that he was not an ordinary person, thinking of the people who might appear in Jiangnan Mansion in the near future, Wang Lu suddenly had a guess in his heart.
"Since Lord Qincha is coming, why don't you tell me in advance, so that I can prepare a feast for hospitality. Three watches in the middle of the night, sneaky is not a gentleman's doing. Wang Lu knew that Master Li who came a few days ago was not all Qincha, there were two Qincha, and one was last year's champion, Xiao Qiao, an introductory student of Master Li.
And the age and appearance of the person in front of him are very similar to the news he heard, Wang Lu is 80% sure that this is Xiao Qiao, the young champion Lang.
Xiao Qiao chuckled, pulled Hu Li to sit aside, and poured himself a glass of water. He and Hu Li were lying on the roof outside, pretending to be scary, and they were also very thirsty.
"Lord Wang said with a smile," Xiao Qiao re-lit the candle on the table, and the room lit up in an instant, raised the account book in his hand, and said, "I only asked Lord Wang if he would like to cooperate with me, and I think the reason why Lord Wang handed over this account book to ...... Xiao Ran, I should want to live a few more days. ”
was pierced by someone, Wang Lu didn't react, just stared at Hu Li and said: "Lord Qincha has good skills, and he is such a person who is so similar to Xiao Ran." I wonder what the cooperation that Chincha-sama meant by it? ”
Hu Li watched Wang Lu staring at him, stuck out his tongue at him, and turned his head to tie his loose hair back simply. Xiao Qiao smiled and pinched his nose, turned his head and pointed to the account book in his hand to Wang Lu.
"This account book is an opportunity for Lord Wang, and I know that there are things related to Lord Wang's life in this account book, but it may not be called a good remedy to save Lord Wang from fire and water." Xiao Qiao's words made Wang Lu frown slightly, and looked at Xiao Qiao uncertainly, "What does Lord Qincha mean......?" ”
That's what Lord Wang thinks, as long as Lord Wang changes his position, he will be more desolate and no longer greedy for this officialdom. Today's majesty is the most benevolent, and I think it will allow Lord Wang to spend his old age in peace, and his children and grandchildren will be full. ”
"If that's the case, I'd like to thank Lord Chincha for your advice." Wang Lu's eyes rolled, he was not a stupid person, even if the Jiangnan Mansion corruption case was leaked this time, it was not because of him, but because King Beixian was too eager and forgot to cover it up. Xiao Qiao's words got to the point, and he knew what to do.
Hu Li on the side looked at them with a confused expression, and Xiao Qiao knew that he understood or not as soon as he saw his expression.
"Now that Lord Wang understands what to do, then I look forward to Lord Wang's expression." Xiao Qiao picked up Hu Li, who was still in a daze, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped, "I forgot to remind Lord Wang that for your safety during this period, from now on, someone will protect you for twelve hours." ”
After speaking, he jumped on the roof with Hu Li on tiptoe, and soon disappeared into the prefect's mansion.
Wang Lu waited for a while, confirmed that they were gone, and then got up to close the door, the cold sweat behind his back had already soaked his clothes. He took a token from under the table and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that King Beixian had already made up his mind to give up on him, so the manpower he had obtained from King Beixian had already been accused by him, and now that this token was still in his hand, he had a little more protection.
Thinking of the last words Xiao Qiao said when he left, a trace of gloom flashed on Wang Lu's face, what bullshit protection, but he just let someone monitor him.
Soon, Wang Lu sat there dejectedly and sighed, now that man is a sword, he is a fish and meat, and he can only hope that the young Lord Qincha can really let him escape this catastrophe, otherwise he will really be ready to die.
Until Xiao Qiao took Hu Li back to the house where they live now, Hu Li still didn't understand what kind of dumb riddle they had just played.
Xiao Qiao flicked his forehead lightly and chuckled: "Don't think about it, go wash your face, I'll tell you." ”
Hu Li scratched his head, obediently went to wash his face, and changed from a delicate young man to a delicate and beautiful young man, "Brother Xiao, you haven't said what you want him to do, how does he know how to do it?" Aren't you afraid that if he does something wrong, won't he disrupt your plans when the time comes? ”
Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li amusedly, "When did I say what plans I have?" ”
Hu Li didn't understand it even more, if Brother Xiao didn't have a plan, why did he say that he had a way to let that Lord Wang escape this time? Hu Li sighed again, human beings are really as grandpa said, they are too difficult to understand, even Brother Xiao, who is different from other human beings.
Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li's distressed and incomprehensible look suspiciously, and also wanted to sigh. It's obviously a fox, why doesn't it have a fox heart with seven tricks? Speaking of being like a fox, it's more like a lively and cute rabbit.
Xiao Qiao couldn't figure it out when he saw him, so he could only explain it to him.
"I don't have to have any plans, since Wang Lu wants to live, I just need to mention my thoughts, he is a smart man, and he knows what to do when he is ready." Xiao Qiao pointed to the beam of the room, and then said, "Didn't you find that Xia Si was not there?" I asked Xia Si to stay there and watch him, as long as Wang Lu has a plan for the next thing, as long as I plan it, I can make a profit. ”
Hu Li was still confused, Xiao Qiao knocked on his forehead helplessly, saw his grinning appearance, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss his cheek. Suddenly, Hu Li, who was baring his teeth, widened his eyes in fright, and looked at Xiao Qiao in disbelief.
"Xiao... Shaw... Shaw... Brother Xiao, you... You... You ......"
Hu Li stiffened and stammered for a long time, and you didn't come out for a reason. Xiao Qiao didn't have much hope for Hu Li's emotional intelligence, and now he looked at Hu Li trembling with his fingers and looking surprised.
"It's just that it's close to you, why are you scared like this?" Xiao Qiao held Hu Li's still trembling fingers in his palm, and even stretched out his slender fingers to scratch Hu Li's palm, and Hu Li suddenly shuddered again.
Seeing Hu Li's eyes staring at him and about to be frightened, Xiao Qiao didn't dare to tease him anymore, for fear that the little fox would really be scared and run back to the mountains before he arrived.
"Okay, okay," Xiao Qiao soothed Hu Li's wet hair just now from washing, and went to get a handkerchief for him to wring out his hair, "Brother Xiao is close to you, are you so scared?" ”
Hu Li, who was dried by Xiao Qiao, squinted his eyes because of comfort, and the feeling of being startled just now also passed, and when he heard Xiao Qiao's question, he quickly shook his head, but he almost pulled his hair off, and he grinned in pain.
"Be careful, you're so big, you're so frizzy." Xiao Qiao gently rubbed the painful place he had just pulled and scolded.
Hu Li pouted, moved his head, and was gently pulled by Xiao Qi'ao's hair, "Don't move!" ”
"Oh-" Hu Li stretched out his voice, hearing Xiao Qi'ao feel sour, Hu Li didn't see it, he was enjoying Xiao Qiao's rubbing with his eyes closed, "Brother Xiao, I'm not afraid of you, really-it's just a strange feeling, I don't know how to say it?" ”
Xiao Qiao chuckled, and could probably guess what Hu Li meant. It is impossible to say that Hu Li is afraid of him, although he is definitely not kind to others, especially enemies. But for Hu Li, he never changed his face to him from beginning to end, and he has always spoiled him, so if you want to say that Hu Li is afraid of him, he doesn't believe it.
He was close to Hu Li just now, and Hu Li's reaction was taken aback. Except that he was really taken aback, it was the strange feeling he said, he should be shy.
He always felt that Hu Li had too much trust in him, after all, he had only known Hu Li for a short time at that time. But he never pointed out Hu Li, nor did he let himself stay away from Hu Li. At that time, although he hadn't figured out what Hu Li's existence was for him, he subconsciously did the best way to deal with it.
And does Hu Li's excessive dependence prove that Hu Li is not without feelings for him?
Xiao Qiao didn't know if he was right, but he decided that whatever he wanted to hold in his hand, whatever it was, it would be his.
Hu Li shuddered suddenly, and felt that the hairs on his back stood up.
"What's wrong? But cold? Although it is almost summer, the wind is still a little cold after nightfall, Hu Li's hair has just been wrung out, and if it is cold, he will have to get sick.
At this time, Xiao Qiao completely forgot that Hu Li was actually a fox demon, which was completely the deep impression left by Xiao Qiao when Hu Li had a high fever because of pushing into the lake just after entering the mansion for more than a month.
Hu was very wide, although he was startled by Xiao Qiao's sudden closeness at night, he was still very heavy at night, and he had a beautiful dream.
Although Hu Li didn't remember what the content of the dream was when he woke up the next day, since it was a beautiful dream, he should have dreamed of a whole chicken feast or something, right? I want to eat it again!
I just don't know why I dream of eating a whole chicken feast, I feel hot all over, is the whole chicken feast in my dream eaten in the fire?
And Xiao Qiao, who also had a sweet dream all night, felt that he was really young for the first time since he was reborn, and the evidence was the liquid on the obscene pants that had just been changed out of being thrown in the corner.
