Chapter Seventy-Five: Surrender!

"There are still two months before we go to the Wasteland, Your Highness might as well think about it first. Li Yiqi took a sip of tea, looked at the prince, and said softly.

"......" Xia Qing was silent, the light in her beautiful eyes flickered, thoughtful.

"Phew—"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had eased, Han Li and Dong Xiong had just let out a long sigh of relief in their hearts, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw that helpless wry smile in each other's eyes.

"Hongu went out first. Xia Qing glanced at Li Yiqi deeply, said goodbye, and left.

"Congratulations to Your Highness. ”

After Xia Qing left, Li Yiqi glanced at the two people who were still kneeling on the ground, a smile appeared on his face, stepped forward to help the two up, and said: "The two generals, the king and the minister, are not masters and slaves, why not." ”

"Childe doesn't know, I was imprisoned for a few days because of the defeat of the army, and there are stains in the records of the Ministry of War, which can be regarded as a crime. Han Li stood up and said with a wry smile.

"I see. ”

Li Yiqi nodded silently, his eyes moved slightly, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly muttered to himself: "Speaking of the military department, I was planning to go there." ”

Hearing this, Han Li's brows furrowed, and he was puzzled, "What is Childe doing in the military department?"

"Look up some information. ”

Li Yiqi smiled and waved his hand, without much explanation, he looked up at Han Li and said with a smile, "General, one more game?"

"Good. Han Li nodded and smiled.

The two chess pieces were set aside, and the pieces fell quickly, and at this time, suddenly a guard from the East Palace came in in a hurry to report: "My lord, Tang Qigongzi is here, saying that he wants to see your lord." ”

"Tang Qi?"

Li Yiqi was slightly stunned, and then a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but this trace of joy quickly disappeared, he groaned slightly, and replied lightly: "Please invite him to come to me." ”

After saying that, he looked at Han Li and Dong Xiong again, and said, "The two generals should also go and rest." ”

"Yes. Hearing this, the two bowed respectfully to Li Yiqi and withdrew.

It didn't take long for Tang Qi's chubby and round body to appear at the door of Li Yiqi's room under the leadership of the guards. His chubby cheeks were covered with sweat, and he looked extremely anxious, and as soon as he entered the door, he looked Li Yiqi up and down with a pair of small eyes, looking quite nervous.

"Brother Tang is here, sit. Seeing Tang Qi's fiery appearance, Li Yiqi held back the smile in his heart and raised his hand to point to a chair beside him.

He guessed that the other party probably heard the news that he was seriously injured out of nowhere, so he hurried over, and suddenly, a strange expression appeared on his face, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Tang Qi and said, "Brother Tang, you won't just finish drinking the flower bar?"

Tang Qi's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous: "You can see this?"

"I smell it......" Li Yiqi glanced at him, and couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly in his heart.

This Tang Qi can really enjoy it, but now it's daytime, so he will go to that kind of place...... However, it's also good, rather than being crushed by the conspiracy of power in the court, it is better to be a disciple of the world.

"You..... Are you okay?" Tang Qi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and his tone was uncertain.

"You really want me to have something?" Li Yiqi glanced at him indifferently.

"I heard that you were injured, and you hired a doctor?!" Tang Qi's eyes widened.

Li Yiqi shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said lightly: "You heard it right, a few days ago, his life was hanging by a thread, but now it's fine." ”

"It's okay, I'm scared to death. Tang Qi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, but the smile quickly disappeared, he lowered his head, and stopped talking.

Seeing Tang Qi's appearance, Li Yiqi took a sip of tea, took the initiative to provoke the topic, and said leisurely: "Brother Tang, have you gone to find Her Royal Highness the princess recently?"

"Go ......" Tang Qi nodded silently and said, staring at Li Yiqi, a look of displeasure floating on his face.

The corners of Li Yiqi's mouth raised slightly, and he asked leisurely, "People haven't seen you, have they?"

"Nope. Tang Qi lowered his head slightly, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"It's good that there is no ......" Li Yiqi shook his head with a wry smile, suddenly, the essence in his eyes flashed, he looked up at Tang Qi, and asked in a somewhat solemn tone: "Brother Tang, can you trust me?"

"If I don't believe you, I won't be here today. Tang Qi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Well, since you believe me, take what I said that night to heart, and I don't want to say anything more. Li Yiqi closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, his expression was quite serious. Ye Ling is not an ordinary woman, but the blood left over from the royal family six thousand years ago, no matter how beautiful the skin is, she can't hide her royal bloodline, if there is really a day when Ye Ling wants to restore the ancient night dynasty, the man who has a relationship with her may not have a good end.

Tang Qi looked at him meaningfully, and muttered in a rather frustrated tone: "You and that princess, what is really the kind of relationship ......."

Why do you keep thinking about this, I don't have the kind of relationship you think about with her...... Li Yiqi couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, but he didn't know how to explain it.

After a long silence, he suddenly burst out laughing, laughing playfully, shaking his head and sighing as he laughed, and asked, "What if, I say yes, will you never touch that princess again?"

Li Yiqi stared at Tang Qi, his dark eyes flashed with a deep light, Tang Qi's face changed slightly, a hint of interest appeared on his chubby cheeks, he shrugged his shoulders, glanced at Li Yiqi meaningfully, and pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Friend's wife, don't bully." ”

"Whatever you say, just stay away from that woman, the royal relics of the previous dynasty are still rotten in my stomach alone. Li Yiqi sighed helplessly in his heart, thinking like this, he raised his hand and poured a cup of hot tea for Tang Qi, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Tang, please." ”

Tang Qi held the celadon teacup, and let go of the last trace of obsession in his heart, and the two chatted about some situations in the capital city, as if they had forgotten the unhappiness of a few days ago, and between the conversations, the laughter seemed to go back to the past.

"Brother Li, you probably don't know yet, that ...... That Liu Xi, something happened to his family. Tang Qi's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Who?" Li Yiqi blinked, his face a little dazed.

"That's it...... The one we met together at Paradise last time. Tang Qi's eyes flickered, and he was faintly excited: "Do you know what this guy has done?"

Li Yiqi's face was a little strange, and after a pause, he realized that the 'Liu Xi' in Tang Qi's mouth was the son of the arrogant and domineering official Liu Shilang that the two of them met in the 'Phantom Mansion'. In his memory in his previous life, this Liu Gongzi was beheaded for selling his official position, and it must have happened now, but the time is a little wrong.

Li Yiqi raised his eyebrows, and asked with a puzzled expression, "When did it happen?"

"It was a few days ago. Tang Qi said with a smile, quite a bit of schadenfreude.

"A few days ago......" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Yiqi's eyes, his heart moved slightly, and he suddenly felt a little bad.

In his memory, many things that happened in the previous life happened in this life, but these things are more or less inconsistent in time, which makes Li Yiqi feel a little jealous in his heart, and many thoughts flashed in his mind one after another:

"After I was born again, a lot of things changed. I entered the East Palace to serve the prince Yu is one of them, Li Qian'er came with a marriage contract is the second, the queen was beaten is the third, and Emperor Xia took the initiative to promote the dispute between the prince and the prince is the fourth......"

"As for some of the other things that have already happened, the timing is not right, so ...... What about the battle in which Annan's army was defeated, will it also be advanced?"

Thinking that the great war between the Annan Protectorate and the barbarians that would have happened a year and a half later might break out in advance, Li Yiqi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat and cold all over his juniors.

"Brother Tang, I have something to invite you to help with. Taking a deep breath, Li Yiqi stood up and looked at Tang Qi with a solemn expression.

Tang Qi looked at Li Yiqi so solemnly, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"

"Wait. ”

Li Yiqi turned around, said lightly without looking back, and after a while, he picked up something from the desk, patted the fine ash on it, and handed it to Tang Qi.

"This is ......" Tang Qi took the thing and found that it was a book, he couldn't help frowning, and looked at him suspiciously.

"This book is a military book, given to me by Duke Lu, it may contain some secrets, you find a chance to go back to the palace to help me ask Duke Lu. Li Yiqi lowered his voice and said.

He is now a person from the East Palace, it is not convenient to go back to the school palace rashly, and it is even more suspicious to visit Lu Gong, he is not willing to ruin the teacher's tranquility. But the secret in this book, he was really a little curious, but he didn't put too much thought into this book, the book was given to him by Lu Gong, and it was better to ask directly than to break his head.

"Secret, what secret?" Tang Qi's face was a little excited.

"I don't know, maybe it's a treasure map. Li Yiqi looked at Tang Qi with a smile.

"Cut-" Tang Qi glanced at him and muttered, "You will give me the treasure map......"

"Don't say so much, just go and help me find Duke Lu, and by the way, ask your old man if you know the news of the queen. Li Yiqi's eyes flickered, and there was some worry in his tone.

As soon as Li Yiqi's words came out, Tang Qi's face suddenly changed, he glanced at Li Yiqi deeply, with a nervous look on his face, and said quietly: "Brother Li...... My Tang family has no plans to get involved in the dispute between the princes. ”

"You're too careful. Li Yiqi shook his head and said lightly: "I don't want you to persuade your grandfather to pull the Tang family into the prince's command, I just want you to probe your grandfather's tone and see if he knows the news of the queen, that's all." ”

"You also know my old man, he is angry when he sees me. Tang Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Old Man Tang is always seeking the country, and you are indulgent all year round, he hates you for not being angry. Li Yiqi shook his head and smiled, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Brother Tang, you are not too young, it's time to choose a path, even if you go to the Ministry of Officials to do a compilation in the future, it is better than a lifetime of gentlemen, this matter, please." ”

"Alas, okay......" Tang Qi showed hesitation, but under Li Yiqi's solemn eyes, he still agreed.

"Thank you. Li Yiqi smiled slightly.

"Ahem, what are we polite, brother, don't hide it, I hated you a few days ago, but ......" Tang Qi showed a thick wry smile on his face, grabbed his hair, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, this matter is over, originally I found a group of livestock to drink flower wine today, but when I heard your news, I hurried here, now that I know that you are fine, I should also leave." ”

With that, Tang Qi grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and peanuts on the table, and got up slowly to leave.

"Brother Tang!" Li Yiqi's eyes moved slightly, he also stood up, raised his hand to stop him, stared at the other party, and said in a deep voice: "I still have something to say to you." ”

Tang Qi stopped, turned around, and stared at Li Yiqi for a long time before he asked, "Brother Li, what do you want to say?" If it's a woo, forget it, I don't have that much weight in the family, even if it's my eldest brother, I don't have that weight. ”

Pulling the Tang family into the prince's door is not realistic, even if you want to, you can't do it, Li Yiqi secretly shook his head in his heart, and said in a calm tone: "Your Tang family and my Li family have been friends for generations, and they have never been involved in the battle between princes and princes, but now is different from the past, Emperor Xia has ordered the major families to choose the princes who support them in their hearts, and the major princes have also begun to gather their wings, although the Tang family is a Jiuqing family, even if you don't want to get involved, how long can it be delayed." If the Tang family is willing to support the prince, it is the best, but if it is really right in the future, you don't have to abandon the family because of your love for me, in this way, I will feel guilty in my heart. ”

Li Yiqi looked at Tang Qi calmly, the latter's expression was stunned, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I understand." ”
