Chapter 560: I Can't Come
Li Qi stayed up in his cell until dawn, and it seemed that he had nothing to do that night.
Sometimes I sit down and rest for a while, sometimes I paced back and forth in the house, but I just didn't sleep.
Since Cao Hunt left, no one came to disturb him anymore, but Li Qi didn't close his eyes for a while.
The jailers on duty slept for half the night, because they were sure that Li Qi would not dare to run.
The sun's rays in the early morning are soft and beautiful, like a girl's smile back.
Cao Lie was sleeping, sleeping in the main hall of this Anyang Mansion, so that no one dared to come here to disturb.
And in the courtyard of Anyang Mansion, Ding Shengjia arrived early in the morning, and he didn't sleep well last night, because he didn't know how the little marquis would torture that Li Yiyi.
However, after inquiring, I learned that the little marquis actually drank wine with Li Qi and chatted.
This made Ding Shengjia a little puzzled, and when he asked Li Yiyi again, the jailer said that the man had not slept all night, walking back and forth, looking uneasy.
Ding Shengjia thought that no matter how Li Yiyi was, he would be afraid after all.
This night did not dare to sleep peacefully, as evidenced.
He instructed people to go out and buy some breakfast and come back, and specially explained that he wanted to buy steamed buns and meat buns.
When his men returned, he went into the cell with breakfast, only to find that Li Qi was not there.
This startled Ding Shengjia, and when he saw the shattered appearance of the back window, he guessed that Li Qi had run away.
So he felt that Li Qi was extremely irrational, it was already this time, what was the use of running away?
And, where can it go?
Just when I was thinking about this, I saw Li Qi coming back from the back window, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw Ding Shengjia and Li Qi.
He said, "Laugh and laugh." ”
Ding Shengjia asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Li Qi said: "I have to go to the latrine every morning, and I can't solve it in the cell. ”
Ding Shengjiaxin said that you are really a particular person, tear off the chain of the cell door and teach people to beat the drum, and then come back, kick the back window and go out to the toilet, and then come back.
Li Qi looked at the breakfast in Ding Shengjia's hand: "Huh? Buns? Thank you very much. ”
He stretched out his hand to come over to get it, and Ding Shengjia asked, "Have you just been to the toilet and washed your hands!" ”
Li Qi said: "Didn't you notice that my hair is still a little wet? ”
Ding Shengjia felt that something was wrong.
Li Qi said: "I didn't go out early in the morning, I went out before dawn, the terrain was unfamiliar, and I looked for a latrine." ”
"I didn't sleep all night and was wrinkled and uncomfortable, and when I saw that the door of the house was not locked, I went in and looked, it turned out to be the kitchen, so I boiled water and took a bath by myself."
At this moment, Ding Shengjia heard someone shouting in the backyard.
Ding Shengjia listened attentively, and he was shouting that there was a thief last night.
The cook came early in the morning and was startled, the kitchen door was open, and the water in the big iron pot he used to stew vegetables for the people of the entire Yamen of Anyang Mansion was still steaming.
Li Qi took a bath in the big iron pot of this stew.
When Li Qi heard the chef's shout, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "You tell him it's okay, I washed the iron pot well before taking a bath." ”
Li Qi reached out and took the bun from the stunned Ding Shengjia, and sat down to eat it.
Before Ding Shengjia came to his senses, Li Qi had already eaten two or three.
Ding Shengjia sighed and said, "If you have time, do you have to go back and change your clothes?" ”
"Changed."
Li Qi said while eating: "There is a silk village not far outside the yamen, I went out for a walk last night, tried a few ready-to-wear clothes, chose the right one, and the color is the same as the one I wore yesterday, rest assured, I left the money, enough to buy this dress." ”
Ding Shengjia raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
He asked, "How did you go back and forth without being detected?" ”
Li Qi said: "It's not that difficult, but it's not that everyone hasn't noticed me. ”
Ding Shengjia shook his head, and then noticed that the buns were almost finished by Li Qi.
It was almost noon when Cao Lie woke up, rubbed his eyes and got up, and then saw Xu Wenjun standing at the door, like a door god.
He didn't like Xu Wenjun's character, he was cold like a stone man, and there was always no emotion on his face.
But he likes Xu Wenjun's style of doing things, Xu Wenjun always knows what his identity is and what he should do.
"Was there anything going on last night?"
Xu Wenjun glanced back at Cao Lie, and then Cao Lie was stunned, blinked, and subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed it again.
He was sure that he was not mistaken, and he was not dazzled, so he asked Xu Wenjun, "What's wrong with your eyes?" ”
Xu Wenjun twisted his head back and replied in a somewhat awkward tone: "It's okay." ”
Cao Liexin said that it was impossible to be fine, Xu Wenjun's eyes were a little blue, and he looked like he had been beaten.
With Xu Wenjun's skills, who can easily punch him in the eye socket?
"The Assassins came last night?"
Cao Lie asked.
Xu Wenjun replied: "No." ”
Cao Lie asked again: "Then what is your face?" ”
Xu Wenjun fell silent.
Cao Lie got up, went around to Xu Wenjun's side to look, and was sure that Xu Wenjun must have been punched in the face.
Cao Lie was surprised: "You were actually beaten?" ”
Xu Wenjun raised his head, still a little proud.
He replied, "He didn't take advantage either." ”
Cao Liemeng's reaction: "Li Xuan? ”
Xu Wenjun snorted, paused for a moment and said, "He's just not injured on his face." ”
Cao Lie asked in surprise: "Why?" ”
He couldn't understand how these two men could fight.
Then Cao Lie noticed that Xu Wenjun's clothes were a little torn, and there was a lot of dust and mud.
It had just rained heavily the day before yesterday, and there were still some places on the street where the water had not receded.
Cao Lie saw that Xu Wenjun was reluctant to speak, so he strode to the side of the cell, asked, and said that Ding Shengjia had come early in the morning and took Li Yiyi away.
Because the little marquis was still asleep and didn't wake up, Ding Shengjia didn't dare to disturb.
After Cao Lie came back, he glared at Xu Wenjun, called his subordinates to prepare the car, and arrived at Meng Kedi's general's mansion in a short time.
When Cao Hunt arrived, Meng Kedi was chatting with that Li Yiyi in the courtyard, and he didn't know what the two of them were talking about, Meng Kedi was amused and laughed.
Even Ding Shengjia, who was standing not far away, was amused, but Xue Chunbao still looked disdainful.
Seeing that Cao Hunt had arrived, Meng Kedi greeted him with a smile.
Cao Lie's eyes were always on Li Qi, and after looking at it for a while, his brows furrowed.
He asked Xu Wenjun: "Is it obvious that you lost?" ”
Xu Wenjun shook his head: "Not really." ”
Cao Lie said again: "Why does his clothes look clean and clean, without even a little dirt?" ”
Xu Wenjun was silent for a moment, looked up at the sky and said, "Because he is shameless." ”
Li Qi pursed his lips when he heard this: "I bought it." ”
Cao Lie asked what was going on, Xu Wenjun was reluctant to talk, and Li Qi had to tell the matter again.
Just last night, not long after Cao Hunt went back to sleep, Xu Wenjun arrived at the cell.
He stood at the door and looked at Li Qi, and he didn't speak, just watched.
Li Qi recognized this guy as the personal guard next to Cao Lie, although the guy didn't speak, Li Qi knew what he wanted to do by looking at him.
So Li Qi pointed outside and said, "If you want to fight, go to the street outside to fight, it's not good to disturb other people here." ”
Xu Wenjun didn't say a word, turned around and got out of prison.
The two of them competed on the street, and after a long fight, Xu Wenjun was punched in the face, and Li Qi was hit in the shoulder.
One face is swollen and the other shoulder is swollen, but fortunately, it can't be seen directly, so it seems that Xu Wenjun's injury is more ugly.
The clothes on Li Qi's body were also dirty, so he went to the silk village to get a few clothes
Clothes, both inside and out, are new.
After listening to this, Cao Lie looked at Xu Wenjun, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Go take a bath and change clothes, and then sleep well, I won't leave the General's Mansion today, and it will be fine." ”
Xu Wenjun snorted, but still didn't have a word, turned around and left.
Cao Lie looked at Li Qi like a monster, this night, this Li Yi had a very fulfilling life.
He gambled with the drummer, drank with him, fought with Xu Wenjun, went to the silk village to steal clothes, and boiled himself in an iron pot when he came back.
Seeing Cao Lie looking at him like this, Li Qi smiled and said: "Little Hou Ye's guards are really powerful, but he is not good at using fists, if he uses weapons, I am no longer his opponent." ”
Xu Wenjun, who walked out for a distance, turned around, looked at Li Qi and said, "The cocoon on your right hand is very thick, and you may not lose with a weapon." ”
Li Qi looked at this person and remembered this person's name in his heart.
I can't say how bright and fair, but he must be a person who has something to say.
Cao Lie suddenly sighed, and he asked Meng Kedi, "General Meng, I'm going to talk to him about the herbal medicine business today." ”
Meng Kedi nodded: "Yes, Li Gongzi's Shen Yitang is all over Jizhou, if this business is negotiated, it will be beneficial to both parties." ”
Cao Lie said: "What if I don't agree? ”
Meng Kedi was stunned.
Cao Lie looked at Li Qi and said, "I don't believe that someone like you would betray Jizhou. ”
Meng Kedi's face changed suddenly, because he hadn't mentioned this matter to Li Qi yet, and the little marquis's words were too direct.
Cao Lie said seriously: "You, for the sake of your peers in Jizhou Medicine Store, the first time I didn't know that Xingshengde was my Cao family, and the second time in Shengfang County, you knew that it was my Cao family, but you still acted for two irrelevant people." ”
He walked up to Li Qi, looked into Li Qi's eyes and said word by word: "No matter what, I don't believe that a person like you will betray Jizhou." ”
Li Qi also looked at Cao Lie's eyes, and after Cao Hunt finished speaking, he asked word by word: "Does General Meng dare to kill the little marquis?" ”
Cao Lie replied: "Naturally I don't dare." ”
Li Qi said: "He dares to kill me." ”
After a pause, Li Qi said four more words.
"Kill my whole family."
Cao Lie was silent.
Meng Kedi's face became even more difficult to look at, and there was another meaning in Li Qi's words, that is, Li Qi had already thought of what Meng Kedi wanted to say to him.
Cao Lie still looked at Li Qi's eyes, and after being silent for a while, he asked, "You betrayed Jizhou, are you still you?" ”
Li Qi said: "Little Hou Ye's words are a little ridiculous. ”
He looked back at Meng Kedi and said, "If the general sends troops, can he protect my Shen Yitang in various places?" ”
Meng Kedi didn't know what to answer for a while, and all the words he had planned were disrupted by Cao Hunt.
Ding Shengjia smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "This matter is also complicated, it's better to sit down and have a good chat." ”
Cao Lie suddenly shouted: "Promise him!" ”
Meng Kedi's face was hard to see.
Without waiting for Meng Kedi's answer, Cao Lie turned his head to look at Li Qi and said with a sneer: "See? There is no way he can promise you. ”
Cao Lie said: "Because you are not qualified to negotiate at all, detain you here, do you still need to talk?" As long as Shen Yitang's people don't cooperate, they will kill you. ”
Li Qi smiled.
Seeing Li Qi's smile, Cao Lie was even more incomprehensible.
Li Qi smiled and asked, "Then detain me here, the people of Shen Yitang also cooperate with General Meng, can they protect Shen Yitang?" ”
Meng Kedi nodded: "Yes." ”
Li Qi said: "Then it's good to detain me here." ”
Cao Lie didn't know why he became furious, pointed to Li Qi's face and asked, "You dare to agree to such a condition from him?!" ”
Li Qi asked rhetorically, "Otherwise...... Why did the little marquis think I came to Anyang? I don't have to come. ”
After saying this, Cao Lie's heart tightened suddenly.
At this moment, he knew what it was.
