Chapter 44: Heroes in Troubled Times (3)

Li Xie sat at the desk, staring at a volume of sparse newspapers in front of him for a quarter of an hour, sleepless all night, even his eyes were a little jerky, he was rubbing his eyebrows with a headache, when he heard the little maid who was ordered by him to wait outside the door ask in a little surprise, "Fourth girl, why are you here?" โ€

Four girls.

He chewed this title in his mouth and recited it silently, and the person who made him feel uneasy and tossing and turning last night dared to send it to the door by himself today, and he really didn't see his heart at all.

He put down the cinnabar pen in his hand, and when he looked up, he saw the person who came in with a group of maidservants, but he put on the pomp and majesty that the high-ranking maid should have.

Before he could open his mouth to mock, looking at the person who seemed to be leading the crowd to provoke, he raised his hand and bent down to make a sincere salute, with a three-point smile on his face, "Brother disturbed yesterday, Jing'er came to apologize." โ€

As soon as her words fell, a maidservant girl behind her put an inkstone in her hand on the case, the inkstone with a deep ink color revealed the ink fragrance after precipitation, and only carved a plum blossom on the four corners of the southeast, northwest and northwest, a branch of orchid grass, a bush of small bamboo, a black chrysanthemum, and the word "inkstone" of a seal with a silver hook painted in the middle.

Li Xie immediately recognized this inkstone, the four scenes and the word came from the hands of five leaders, and it was placed on the dragon case by the previous dynasties and dynasties, and the fakes outside did not know how much, when they were just obtained by their father, his two good brothers were obsessed for a long time, and wanted to beg their father to change hands.

Unexpectedly, his father gave it to the four girls alone, and she transferred it to his case.

Is this a rush to show goodwill?

Li Xie glanced at the person standing a few steps away, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more sarcastic, "Fourth girl, is this here for me to show off?" The objects that are taken out at hand are so expensive. โ€

Jing Hao took the tea cup handed by the maidservant and brought it to his table with his own hands, not repelled by the malice in his eyes at all, "Brother and my mother, one is prosperous, one is lost, mine can be Brother's, why do you want to show it to Brother?" โ€

Li Xie looked at the tea she handed to her, raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her, and wrote โ–กโ–ก naked in his eyes, "I don't know what I added to the tea you handed over, why do I want to drink it."

They all have to be with his brothers and brothers, and they really think that he is blind.

Jing Hao withdrew his hand, directly opened the tea lid and took a sip, swallowed it and opened his mouth for him to check, and handed the tea cup over again, "Brother should be relieved now, right?" โ€

This time, the disdain in the phoenix's eyes was even more obvious, "Can you drink your saliva at ease?" โ€

What's more, the four girls who came out of this concubine can tamper with people's memories, how can ordinary poisons invade her.

Jing Hao handed the teacup to the maidservant, waved them all to retreat, looked at the person sitting behind the table, and sneered with his arms in his way, even the curvature of the corners of his mouth was quite similar, "Then what does Brother think of me?" You and I are from the same mother, blood is thicker than water, my brother is guarding me like this, do you think I will harm your life? โ€

"If I have the slightest desire to fight with my brother, wouldn't it be better to take advantage of my brother's serious illness, so why wait until today. What's more, Brother Ah is a person who has achieved great things after that, instead of worrying about these details and calculating accounts with me at all, why don't you want to think about what benefits my current status can bring you? โ€

She calmly looked at the people sitting behind the table, and the momentum of the confrontation between them was indistinguishable.

Li Xie thought about her words, and in a moment of thought, he also believed a little, after all, he was still alive and well when he had no power to fight back before, and he was as calm as before.

If she can really help him, then he will naturally not be more annoying โ–กโ–ก but like a tiger.

Even as long as she made sure she wouldn't stand against him.

He bent his fingers and knocked on the table, and the crisp voice resounded in the empty study, and it seemed to knock on his heart at once, "Why should I believe your words?" โ€

Jing Hao smiled, "Because I am your sister-in-law, I call you brother." The glory and disgrace and peace of my life after that will be tied to my brother. โ€

The eyes of the two met for a moment and then moved away, Li Xie hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled at her, "The latter sentence is barely a reason." โ€

He reached for the cinnabar pen that he had put aside before, and threw aside the cover of the newspaper that had been spread out for a long time, and pushed the teacup that was casually placed on the table and was hindering his movements, "Change the cup." โ€

Jing obediently went to bring a lamp, put it in his hand and would not get in the way, turned to the bookshelf and took the book casually, seeing that the person who brought the tea cup to his mouth did not object at all, he sat down on the other side of the wide table, bowed his head and flipped through the books in his hand.

As soon as I saw a word, I was pushed a cup of tea right now, accompanied by my brother's somewhat critical voice, "It's too hot." โ€

Jing Hao said "oh", and didn't raise his head, "Then let it cool first." โ€

Can't get used to his stinky sex anymore.

Li Xie glanced at the little head buried in the book, "tsk" and didn't bother with her, and took another sip of the tea after reading the two volumes.

Li Xie also paid attention to whether she would take the opportunity to read the report, and after raising his eyes a few times, he only saw a small brain facing him, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, and when the ink was about to run out, he instructed someone to grind him once.

Since the younger sister has been given the right words, he should be afraid of being an elder brother.

The two people involved did not feel uncomfortable at all from saber-rattling to harmonious coexistence, but Gu Yu, the little guy who will deliver medicine in the future, was a little weak to accept, he looked at the two people who were extremely harmonious, and he knew his identity in the end, without saying a word, and handed over the medicine bowl in his hand.

"Third son, the medicine is here."

Li Xie glanced at the medicine bowl, and directly took it with his empty left hand and handed it to Jing Hao, "Take a bite." โ€

Jing Hao blinked, he had already handed the medicine bowl to her mouth, and with a slight tilt, she was forced to drink a big sip of the medicine, and the bitter taste clearly from the tip of her tongue made her frown her face, "It's so bitter." โ€

The unsympathetic elder brother Shi Shiran took back the medicine bowl, turned around and drank it all in one gulp, so calm that it was like drinking a bowl of white water, "Well, I just want to see how bitter it is." โ€

It is said that the four girls are most afraid of drinking bitter medicine, and it seems that at least they are still real people.

He looked at Jing Hao, who was glaring at him angrily with wide eyes, and pushed the tea cup on the table very responsibly, "I don't have preserves, you drink the taste of tea," the fingertips that were withdrawn also kindly felt the temperature, "It's just cold now." โ€

It's cool!

Jing Hao was holding it to his lips, and the other end said slowly, "It seems that you really don't dislike my saliva." โ€

Quiet, "......"

Do you have to run it back?!

Mrs. Yin dealt with a bunch of chores, and was lying on the couch for people to press her shoulders, and when she closed her eyes, she remembered that she had never seen anyone recently, "The four girls have all gone to the third son's side recently?" โ€

The brother and sister almost fought, but they brought out their feelings?

The maid on the side immediately replied, "The girl has been accompanying the third prince in the study recently. โ€

"She helps the third prince?" Mrs. Yin didn't believe it very much, but she wouldn't say anything bad about her baby daughter on the tip of her heart, just as she was a child, and her father would be a brother when he was away.

"Send some pastries that the four girls like over there, and warn them not to let the four girls freeze and starve......," she was about to say a few more words, when the housekeeper in the front yard hurried in, "Lady, the lord of Lang has sent a message that he has left for his return, and will be there in a few days." โ€

"Really?" Mrs. Hao sat up directly from the couch, looking a little excited, although she was prosperous in Haocheng, she was inevitably worried about the husband and master on the front line, without the backbone, some things were afraid of mistakes, and she was afraid that when he would have an accident, everything in front of her would become a cloud of smoke.

After she carefully confirmed that Li Guan was not injured, the smile on her face was even more inadequate, "Quick, go and inform the fourth girl, saying that her father is coming back soon, so that she is also happy." โ€

"Auntie said that Father will be back soon."

Jing Hao put the pastries in his hands on the table, and by the way, he told the people who were buried in work about the news that came together.

Li Xie's hand paused, and a drop of ink from the tip of the pen dripped onto the sparse report he was replacing, covering the few words he had just put down, and he was dizzy.

He simply put down his pen, reached out and knocked on the several books with roughly the same content that were stacked aside, hesitating about the several plans he had planned before, which one was the most thorough and the most able to pick himself up.

He has just come back not long ago, and the power he can use is either not yet at the right time or is still in the planning, and at this time, there is basically no one to help him with a son who only occupies the position of a concubine, has no military merits, no political achievements, and is still pressed by the son-in-law of two wives.

But this man must die.

As soon as I looked up, I saw a person sitting on one side eating pastries while reading a book, and occasionally pursed his lips and smiled a few times, which was really pleasant.

"Left." He knocked on the table, opened his mouth slightly, and showed the person who looked up that he had a good reason, "Dirty hands." โ€

Jing Hao reached out and pinched a piece of designated acacia cake and handed it to his mouth, and looked down at his hand stained with faint ink, just in time to see his index finger resting on a rather familiar name, and his well-trimmed nails slid down the ground at a third of the way through the word.

The movements were so light that they didn't leave a trace, but they had a strong murderous aura.

And the position he drew looked exactly like cutting off a head.

She has been getting along with him recently, but she has figured out a bit of his temperament, instead of turning a corner to make him guess more, it is better to go straight to the point, "Brother doesn't like this person?" โ€

Li Xie swallowed the pastry in his mouth, slowly opened his lips and smiled, "Yes, I don't like him so much that I want to kill him, and I'm thinking about what method can best destroy the corpse." โ€

Jing Hao looked at him suspiciously, "Brother really wants to do it, is there anyone who wants to stop him?" โ€

You can't necessarily stop it.

"His sister Miaoji is now being favored by his father's side, and the people here in Haocheng don't know how to submit these reports, and when his father comes back and sees it, eighty percent of them will be trivial."

His finger habitually dotted on it again, "It's a trivial matter, that is, relying on a sister who can turn the act of robbing people's girls and โ–กโ–ก people's women into a few words of reprimand that don't hurt." โ€

Jing Hao looked at the name, and thought of the Miao Ji he mentioned, and finally remembered that this person named Tian Feng was in the records, and in the records, he yin the elder brother, hid a female corpse in his backyard, and led everyone to find it and put the charge on his head, causing him to be punished with a cane for sixty years, and his reputation plummeted.

Such an inferior scheme can succeed, and it is absolutely inseparable from his sister who loves to blow the wind by the pillow.

She pinched another piece of cake and handed it to Li Xie, and easily took the book out of his hand, "Brother has a lot of affairs, just come quietly in this matter." โ€
