Chapter 81: Ban Xing!

"What do you mean by this, Your Excellency?" asked Li Yiqi with an extremely indifferent expression, no expression on his face, and no indication of what he was thinking in his heart.

"In the opinion of the following officials, the adults must not have come for the prince, but for some private matter, but in the name of the prince, it is convenient to act. The clerk said.

"How did Your Excellency know?" Li Yiqi was slightly shocked in his heart, but his indifferent face remained unchanged, and at the same time.

"The prince is not in a good situation now, His Majesty ordered the ministers to choose the best and stand, and the prince is about to tie his hair, it is the time to establish his authority, if it is for the prince, the lord should be tough, and in the face of anyone, he should not be humble or arrogant. The clerk replied.

"Oh, there is some truth in your words, but ...... Maybe I'm thinking about the prince's reputation. Li Yiqi blinked and asked with a smile: "Wouldn't it be disgusting to use the name of the crown prince to coerce the ministers?"

"Adults don't think so, if it's for the sake of the prince's reputation, adults should be tougher. The clerk shook his head and said with a straight face: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a bad reputation, he is still the prince, one person is above ten thousand people, if there is no majesty, how can he inherit the throne of the unification." ”

"If you are tougher, you will offend many people, but it will also attract the support of a small number of people, and they will realize that the prince has not given up the battle between the prince and the prince, so that the prince's situation will still turn around, if it continues to be so low-key......" the clerk said, bowing his head and not daring to say more.

"Not bad...... Be tough, there is hope, if you continue to be so weak, sooner or later you will be marginalized. Hearing this, Li Yiqi's eyes flickered slightly, and he secretly said in his heart that the other party's words really went to his heart.

"That'...... If I hadn't thought of what Your Excellency said, Your Excellency would have seen that I was younger than you. Maybe I really put on a weaker posture because of Lord Li's majesty?" Li Yiqi's eyes blinked, and he couldn't help asking, he also wanted to know where this clerk guessed his mental activity.

"From the moment the adult entered the door, the subordinates have been observing the adults, and in the eyes of the adults, the subordinates have not seen any fear, maybe...... Maybe Lord Li didn't put it in the eyes of adults, and adults just had to lower their posture for the sake of those files. The clerk said with a dry smile.

“......”

Hearing that the other party guessed his heart, an elite light flashed from his dark eyes Li Yiqi, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the clerk with straight eyes, and did not speak for a long time.

Li Yiqi looked at the clerk in front of him carefully, and only felt that the other party was a few years older than him, except for a little fairer skin, there was nothing special. Even if you wear a gorgeous official uniform, you don't have any sense of high spirits, and if you throw a face into the crowd, you may not be able to find it in a blink of an eye.

In short, it is described in eight words - its appearance is ordinary, ordinary.

It is not surprising that there are thousands of such scholars in the world, but fortunately, Li Yiqi is not a person who judges people by their appearance, and he has a trace of interest in the identity of the clerk in front of him.

"Your Excellency's words are serious, although I don't know Lord Li, but I still have great respect for those officials in my Great Xia who 'fulfill their duties and do not seek personal gain'. After a long time, Li Yiqi waved his hand.

He also bit the words 'fulfill his duties and do not seek personal gain' very seriously.

Hearing this, the clerk knew that Li Yiqi was mocking him with this, and his face couldn't help but turn red, however, he also heard it in Li Yiqi's tone - the handsome young man in a white Confucian robe in front of him really didn't take a dignified third-grade chief of the military department in his eyes.

At this time, the clerk was also more sure that Li Yiqi's origin was really as he guessed, and it was by no means as simple as just the East Palace, with his head bowed and silent.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Li Yiqi blinked and asked directly: "Your Excellency said before that you would help me find the file, I don't know what you want in return?"

The clerk suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his head, and said in an extremely respectful tone: "I don't want anything." ”

"You don't want anything, you don't want to join the prince?"

Li Yiqi raised his eyebrows, he thought that this person was showing off his talents in front of him, and he wanted to take refuge in the East Palace, at least he had this plan, how could he not think about anything, he would not say this to himself if he didn't want anything.

"It has nothing to do with the prince, the lower official just wants to have a good relationship with the adult. The clerk bowed and spoke very solemnly.

"It has nothing to do with the crown prince...... That's about me. ”

Li Yiqi's eyes suddenly flashed, his gaze was like a blade, his expression became indifferent, he looked at the clerk coldly, and asked, "Your Excellency already knows my identity?"

"Yes, the waiter of the East Palace, and the son of the Li family, when the adult signed up for it just now, the lower official overheard it. The clerk gritted his teeth.

"I didn't say what I said just now......" Li Yiqi shook his head with great certainty, stretched out a finger and pointed at the clerk, and said indifferently: "Your Excellency is very good at speculation. ”

"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. The clerk's eyes flickered, his head bowed, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

He had indeed paid attention to all the juniors of the great families in the capital a long time ago, and just like Li Yiqi had paid attention to these people, he also had his purpose.

Hearing the other party's direct admission, Li Yiqi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a smile on his face, and after staring at the other party for a while, he suddenly laughed, and asked a question with a smile: "If I want the confidential documents of the Nine Metropolitan Protectorates, can I also come to Your Excellency?"

"Those materials are military secrets, and outsiders are not allowed to inquire about them, unless there is a clerical order from His Majesty. The clerk's face changed suddenly, and he said, and at the same time took a few steps back very vaguely, speculation is speculation, some things still can't be done, and everything has a bottom line.

Seeing this, Li Yiqi's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, put his arms behind his back, and looked at the person in front of him with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart, after a long time, he restrained his smile and asked very casually, "What is your name?"

Hearing that Li Yiqi no longer called himself 'Your Excellency' or 'Your Excellency' at this moment, but called 'you', the clerk was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists: "Back to my lord, the next official's name is Ban Xing." ”

"Ban Xing, surname Ban ......"

When Li Yiqi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and asked with some curiosity: "You and the Ban family...... What is the relationship between that Taishi family?"

Taishi Ling, one of the nine Qings, has only been inherited by two major historians since the beginning of the Great Xia Dynasty, one surnamed Ban and the other surnamed Sima.

If he remembers correctly, the Taishi Ling of the dynasty is surnamed Sima, the Sima family, has been ranked in Jiuqing for three consecutive generations in the past hundred years, compared to the prosperity of the Sima family, the Ban family seems to be much more low-key, not only gradually away from the court, but even some forgotten, giving people a feeling of gradually lonely.

However, as soon as Li Yiqi finished speaking, he saw that Ban Xing's body seemed to tremble, and the latter lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "The ancestors do have something to do with it......

"Ancestral ......" Li Yiqi's eyes moved slightly, and he secretly said 'sure enough' in his heart.

Seeing Ban Xing's appearance, Li Yiqi didn't want to ask more questions on this topic, and after a while, he raised his finger and pointed to the pile of bookcases, and asked: "Those materials, I need you to help me sort them out and find the news related to the 'Loulan' country in the Western Regions, can you do it?"

"Loulan Kingdom?!" Ban Xing was slightly startled, stunned, and asked, "But the Loulan Kingdom that was destroyed by the Anxi Army?"

"Not bad. ”

Li Yiqi's eyes froze, his right hand clenched unconsciously, nodded heavily, and his voice became cold: "Regarding the history of the development of Loulan Kingdom, its predecessor, whether its royal family participated in the dispute of the Central Plains a thousand years ago, and what kind of means it has, everything is clear. ”

"It's probably not just about the Western Expedition a thousand years ago. Ban Xing grinned and smiled bitterly, he now knew that Li Yiqi was not interested in the Holy Emperor's Western Expedition back then, but in the history of that Loulan Kingdom.

"How long will it take?" asked Li Yiqi lazily with his arms folded over his chest.

After pondering for a while, Ban Xing hugged his fists and said, "At least half a month." ”

"Ten days. ”

Li Yiqi turned his eyes, looked at Ban Xing, stretched out his finger and shook it in front of him, and said with a smile: "You must know that good karma is not easy to tie up, and after ten days, I can't see what I just said, just like you and I have never met." ”

"This ......" Ban Xing suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yiqi in horror, but he didn't expect the other party to shorten the time by one-third, he hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and said: "Okay, as the adult said, after ten days, I will sort it out and send it to the adult." ”

"You don't have to send it to the East Palace, and you don't have to send it to the Li family, you name a place, and I'll pick it up when the time comes." Li Yiqi waved his hand and refused without hesitation.

The matter about Ye Ling and the Ancient Night Dynasty was his private matter, and he didn't want the people around him to have anything to do with it.

It seems that he doesn't want outsiders to know about it. When Ban Xing heard this, his eyes flashed, and he immediately understood, and he also spoke: "That...... If you don't want to come to the official's house at that time, it's more convenient for the family. ”

"Good. ”

The corners of Li Yiqi's mouth hooked up with an imperceptible smile.

This person is really interesting, and can figure out people's hearts, and is a talent.

......

At the back door of the Li Mansion, as soon as the carriage came slowly, the carriage arrived at the back door, and a white figure jumped down from the carriage, turned around and slipped into the Li Mansion through the back door.

"Who, bold!"

At the back door of the Li Mansion, two guards with knives saw someone break in, the essence in the tiger's eyes flashed, and the body suddenly burst out, and they drew their knives and were about to slash at the person who stole in, however, when they saw the comer clearly, their faces were full of shock, and they quickly withdrew the blade and exclaimed: "Young master!"

"Shh Li Yiqi put his finger to his lips and made a quiet gesture with a smile.

Watching Li Yiqi's movements, the two guards with knives trembled for a moment, and suddenly didn't dare to move.

They glanced at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes - if the knife just now was not returned, Li Yiqi would be finished, and the lives of the two of them would be over.

"Are the two ladies in the mansion?" Li Yiqi asked in a low voice, rolling his eyes.

"Both...... None of them. The guard replied tremblingly.

They were eager to ask Li Yiqi why he left the gate and didn't go through the back door, which was used by servants to travel, buy groceries, and buy household items...... If the master's house leaves the front door and does not leave, who will go through the back door, is there an enemy?

Thinking of this, the two of them were suddenly shocked in their hearts, their bodies trembled, and the four tiger eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.

"Whew—it's good not to be there. ”

Li Yiqi really didn't expect that he had just walked around in front of the ghost gate, and he didn't expect that the two guards guarding the back door of the Li family had so many inner scenes, and when he heard that the two ladies were not there, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then asked, "What about Shui Bo?"

"The big butler is in the house. The guard nodded.

"Okay, I'll come back to this matter, you can just know it, don't say it, and don't tell the two ladies!" After sending two guards, Li Yiqi walked quickly towards a sparsely populated wing.

"Li Qian'er, I have a ...... for you!"

The moment Li Yiqi pushed the door open, the hot water vapor came to his face, and in the white mist, Li Yiqi saw a hazy and slender figure.

This figure is like a hibiscus out of the water, three thousand green silk hangs in front of him, a snow-white and slender jade leg is straddle outside the bathtub, as if just about to step up from the bathtub, as soon as the door opens, the cold winter breeze blows in, and the snow-white skin is stimulated a little red.

Seeing this scene, Li Yiqi's expression suddenly froze, his heartbeat instantly accelerated, and he looked at the people inside, both of them were stunned, and then they both rushed to their cheeks like blood, and the tips of their ears were red.

“...... thing!"

Li Yiqi's voice was hoarse, and he sounded a little trembling, and he closed the door with a 'bang', and the whole person quickly fell back against the door.
