Li Qi said that he was not interested in the Cui family's property, but he was still very small and pulled Xiahou to ask if there was any opportunity to take advantage of it.

Xiahou Zhuoxin said that this is the Li Diudiu I know, a loss, a loss, a loss, you can't take advantage of it, you can't let others take it, and you can't take it.

Xiahou Zhuo said regretfully: "There should be no way to do the March Jiang Tower, the first thing my father did after he came back was to seal the March Jiang Tower, which was a place that could not be moved." ”

Li Qi said: "Look at you, how can I be interested in March Jianglou." ”

Xiahou said: "To be honest. ”

Li Qi said: "I'm mainly for Old Tang. ”

Xiahou Zhuo squinted his eyes and glanced at Li Qi, Li Qi was a little embarrassed by him, and then he used a sentence to make Xiahou Zhuo believe that it was not those people who were interested in March Jianglou.

Li Qi sighed: "That piece of land, that building, how much can it cost to build." ”

Xiahou Zhuo was stunned for a moment, he saw the little stars shining in Li Qi's eyes, and was sure that Li Qi really just wanted to occupy the land, if it was like in the animal world, the beast peed and occupied the land, Li Qi might have run out of urine by now.

Xiahou said: "Although the land in the March River Tower is not easy to occupy, it is not a big problem for me to find a way to help you get something else." ”

Li Qi said flatteringly: "Master Zhuo, are you satisfied with my appearance?" ”

Xiahou Zhuo: "Get out of ......"

He smiled and said: "The Cui family's industry is very large, and there are so many shops in the city that it is impossible to find out how many of them belong to theirs, don't forget that Cui Tai gave me a list of the family's properties before leaving." ”

Li Qi said: "What Zhuo Ye means is that we can cross some off the list and not tell your father." ”

Xiahou said: "What are you mentioning my father, it seems that I am really a bit too ......"

Li Qi said: "I was wrong......

Xiahou Zhuo asked, "What did you just say?" Cross off some of the industries on the list? ”

Li Qi said: "Uh-huh. ”

Xiahou said: "Can you have a little ambition." ”

Li Qi's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?" ”

Xiahou Zhuo took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed them to Li Qi, "Is it interesting to cross out a few?" I tore down a few of them, and I've given them to you. ”

Li Qi smiled: "Why do I suddenly have an urge that my knees are getting weaker and weaker, and I can't help but want to knock you down." ”

Xiahou Zhuo said: "Pull it down, it's useless for you to knock a few like this, I deliberately picked up a few useful ones and tore them out, and the two pages of them are recorded in the Cui family's medicinal material business in Jizhou City." ”

Hearing this, Li Qi's eyes lit up, like the sun at noon, dazzling.

Xiahou said: "You are a little reserved. ”

Li Qi said: "How many shops are there? ”

Xiahou Zhuo said: "After a rough inventory, there are thirty-six pharmacies belonging to the Cui family, in addition, the Cui family also has two warehouses for storing medicinal materials in Jizhou City, one in the east and one in the west, and the medicinal materials in this inventory are worth a fortune." ”

The brightness of Li Qi's eyes has risen to a level again, and it is no longer just as bright as the sun, as if the sun is about to explode.

"If you're okay today, you can go around your territory."

Xiahou Zhuo handed the list to Li Qi and said: "The people of the Cui family have all been withdrawn, these shops, warehouses, while no one has gone to steal and rob yet, you can assign people to take them all down as soon as possible, and it is safe to hold them in your own hands, and the business of medicinal materials will be promising in the future, even if it is not to make money, it is useful." ”

Li Qi said: "I'll assign manpower in a while, and now it seems that the original manpower of the carriage and horse shop is really insufficient."

Fortunately, Lao Tang recruited a group of about 200 people before, and scattered them to these stores first. ”

Xiahou Zhuo said: "Two hundred people is indeed not much, thirty-six shops, two warehouses, this is only the business of medicinal materials, other businesses are also on the list, these places are enough for you to distribute more than a thousand people." ”

Li Qi sighed: "The words of more than 1,000 people...... Otherwise, if I go out, I can't find people in Jizhou City, although Jizhou City is big, but people are favors, relatives are relatives, and no one will leak the news, I and the ninth sister and Lao Tang will go out to Jizhou, go to the surrounding counties to walk, and recruit people. ”

Xiahou Zhuo nodded: "Di'er, I know that you think Yu Chaozong is a person who can be followed, and I don't interfere too much in your thoughts, but there is one thing you must remember, you must have your own people in your hands." ”

Li Qi nodded: "Understood." ”

Xiahou Zhuo smiled and said: "Ruan Chen and Ruan Duan, they are all my brothers, you can trust, they have already followed you, you can ask them to help recruit some people from the rivers and lakes, they know who can be used, and they are measured." ”

After finishing speaking, Xiahou Zhuo raised his hand and patted Li Qi's shoulder and said, "My mother told me yesterday, he said Zhuo'er, your brother is still young, no matter what, you have to help more." ”

Xiahou Zhuo smiled: "I have to go back to Northern Xinjiang sooner or later, now I can help you more, and you will be able to take better care of your mother in the future." ”

Li Qi slowly exhaled a breath, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, not the kind of sad discomfort, but the discomfort of feeling grateful and warm, he nodded and said, "I know." ”

A long, long time ago, when Li Qi was wandering and surviving with his master, he once saw a very small thing, which was very ordinary, but Li Qi sighed in his heart for a long time.

That time he saw a little boy being bullied by six or seven boys older than him, and ran away crying, and soon brought back a boy about the same age as those who had bullied him.

That's his brother.

Opposite his brother were six or seven of his peers, and he had only himself.

But his brother only asked, "Brother, are they bullying you?" ”

My brother said yes.

And his brother rushed forward.

That time, Li Qi inexplicably rushed up to help, if he didn't help, the two brothers might be beaten very badly.

When the elder brother left, he said thank you to Li Qi, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he took his brother's hand and left, limping, and rubbing his other hand lightly on the top of his brother's head.

He said: "Brother, what are you crying about, whoever bullies you in the future, my brother will help you teach them a lesson." ”

At that time, Li Qi stood there and watched the two brothers walk away, with only one thought in his heart...... It turns out that people who have older brothers are like this, and it turns out that older brothers are like this.

He said to the Changmei Daoist, Master, do you have a brother?

The master said no, and Li Diudiu asked again, then can you give me a brother?

Long Eyebrows gave him a kick.

Then he rubbed his head and said: "Di'er, you will have such a brother in the future, although it is not a brother, but it is like a brother, you will know such a friend, and eventually become a brother with all sincerity." ”

At that time, Li Qi nodded, thinking about how good it would be if he had a brother.

At this moment, Li Qi's eyes were slightly red, but Xiahou Zhuo didn't notice it, he looked into the distance, and naturally raised his hand and rubbed it on Li Diudiu's head.

"Brother is a little selfish, a little willful, I should have supported everything, I took care of my mother, I took care of everyone, but now my brother threw this burden on your shoulders."

He exhaled slowly and said, "You work harder." ”

Li Qi nodded vigorously, then turned his head sideways, and rubbed his tears and snot on Xiahou Zhuo's clothes

, and grinned.

Xiahou Zhuo: "......"

He put his arm around Li Qi's shoulders and walked forward, saying as he walked: "Di'er, there is another thing that my mother wants to tell you in person, wipe your tears and snot, how old is it, let my mother see it and think that I bullied you again, if my mother sees you sloppy, she will definitely scold you." ”

Li Qi snorted, and rubbed his tears and snot against the sound of Xiahou's clothes.

Xiahou Zhuo: "......"

Back in the backyard of the carriage and horse shop, the godmother sat under the tree in the backyard to enjoy the shade, Xiahou Yuli squatted beside her as if asking for some questions, and the godmother patiently explained.

Seeing Li Qi and Xiahou Zhuo coming, the old lady who was not very old but was already called the old lady laughed, like an ordinary housewife, standing at the door, and saw her two sons returning from the school with small schoolbags on their backs from a distance.

It was a mother's eye.

Xiahou Zhuo had already walked in front of Mrs. Xiahou, and before he could speak, Mrs. raised her foot and gave him a touch on his buttocks.

"How old are you? How old is it? Look at you, what's on your clothes? You're a general, so you can't help but worry about it? ”

Then Mrs. Xiahou looked at Li Qi and said, "Look at your brother, he is younger than you, and he is not as sloppy as you." ”

Xiahou Zhuo: "......"

In fact, Mrs. Xiahou is really not very old, she has just passed forty years old, she followed Prince Yu when she was sixteen or seventeen years old, and gave birth to Xiahou Zhuo when she was more than twenty years old.

Mrs. Xiahou said to Xiahou Yuli: "Give the things to your second brother." ”

Xiahou Yuli handed a piece of paper in his hand to Li Qi and said: "This is the recipe that my mother and I have discussed for a day and written, it is the formula of Yunyin Mountain, the eldest brother said that we now have medicinal materials, you use this recipe to dispense medicine, and it is extremely effective in treating red injuries." ”

Mrs. Xiahou said: "This recipe was studied by my junior sister with me many years ago, and she was busy with other things at that time, so she put it down, she is now the master of Yunyin Mountain, and her talent and attainments in medicine are far above me." ”

When she said this, she was in a trance for a moment, then smiled and said: "My junior sister Shen Ruyun is a real genius, there are so many inheritances in Yunyin Mountain, only she can learn almost completely, she was only fourteen years old when I left the school...... Come to think of it, I haven't seen her in over twenty years. ”

Li Qi suddenly thought of something, he said with a smile: "Mother, I happened to discuss with my eldest brother, I want to go out of Jizhou to recruit some people, how about we go out for a walk while it is not so messy now?" I'll take you back to Yunyin Mountain and go back to have a look. ”

Mrs. Xiahou obviously froze for a moment, and then was silent for a long time.

Li Qi knew that she was very conflicted in her heart, she was the successor of the master of the sect at the beginning, and the Izumo Hidden Mountain walked the world for the sake of training, and after the experience was over, she had to return to the master to inherit the position of the master of the sect, but she did not go back for Prince Yu.

She really doesn't want to go back and see?

She felt ashamed of her teacher and her junior sister, she didn't go back, and her junior sister, who was only fourteen years old, had to shoulder the responsibility.

"I ...... I don't have the face to go back. ”

Mrs. Xiahou let out a long breath and said with a wry smile: "I chose the path myself. ”

"Mother!"

Xiahou Yuli took her mother's hand and said: "Master has been looking forward to you going back, she really misses you, not long after I entered Yunyin Mountain, Master asked me, do you miss your mother?" I said yes, and Master said, I miss my sister too. ”

Madame Xiahou stiffened for a moment, and then her shoulders trembled slightly.

"Let's go for a trip, it's just the right time for spring."

Li Qi smiled: "Don't bring Xiahou yet." ”

Xiahou Zhuo: "......"
