Li Qi went to Zhuang Wushu first and told him that he and Yu Jiuling were going back to Jizhou, and if he left now, Li Qi would not be as worried as before.

Although he failed to kill Bi Datong, Bi Datong's minions were almost broken off by Li Qi, and the rest of the people did not dare to make a mistake in a short time.

Bi Datong's soul was frightened by this incident, and the fact that he could still hold back and not run away is enough to show that his psychological quality is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Of course, he didn't run because he didn't give up, he still wanted to be a master, a general, and a future founding father, but he should never have thought of being an emperor.

Zhuang Wushu knew that Li Qi was still going to leave after all, so he didn't persuade him, and went to see Yu Chaozong with him.

Yu Chaozong was still in the spirit shed, and the person looked a little lost, it was not that he was scared like this, but that so many people died in the village made him sad.

Especially the death of the third and fourth children, the blow to Yu Chaozong was indeed too great.

Hearing Li Qi say that he wanted to leave, Yu Chaozong was not good at leaving people behind, there were so many things happening in the cottage, it seemed that there were dangers hidden everywhere, and leaving people behind might hurt people.

Looking at Bi Datong's previous attitude, you can see that Bi Datong must have murderous intentions towards Li Qi.

"Let's go?"

Bi Datong, who had been by Yu Chaozong's side all along, heard that Li Qi was leaving, and immediately frowned and said: "The matter in the village has not been investigated clearly, it is better for the two distinguished guests to stay for a little longer, in case they encounter danger when they go down the mountain, it is also the fault of our Yanshan camp." ”

Li Qi smiled: "Okay." ”

He looked at Yu Jiuling and said: "You go to Qianqian County to find my master and them, the prince asked us to buy things can't be mistaken, you can go back to Jizhou directly after the purchase is complete, and tell the prince that the second master hit me off at first sight, saying that he was going to stay in the Yanshan camp for a long time." ”

Bi Datong's face changed, and he still suspected that so many people had died, and it was this person named Li Yi who did it.

However, he really didn't dare to be tough directly, so this treacherous and cunning thing looked at Yu Chaozong and said: "Big brother, you still have to make up your mind about this matter, the distinguished guests of the palace are frightened by us, and when they go back, they will talk to the prince, I am afraid that the prince will also blame." ”

Yu Chaozong said: "Then you might as well go to Jizhou City with Brother Li and ask to see Prince Yu, and it would be better for you to explain it in person." ”

Li Qi clapped his hands and said: "Wonderful, it's still Brother Yu who thinks thoughtfully, otherwise, if our brother leaves here, it will inevitably be said that we are broom stars." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Bi Datong and said: "On the first night of coming to the cottage, when we were having wine, I said that when the second master arrived in Jizhou City, I would arrange everything, and I didn't expect it to come true so soon." ”

The corners of Bi Datong's mouth twitched, he went to Jizhou City?

He really didn't dare to go.

Even after contacting Prince Yu's people for so long, he still didn't dare to go, because he was afraid of dying in Jizhou City, just like the fifth child, and he couldn't even make a splash when he was gone.

If he wants to take refuge with Prince Yu, he will inevitably take the cottage team with him, if he goes alone, will the prince care about him?

Without a team as a bargaining chip, he is a little scum in the eyes of Prince Yu.

"Or ...... I'll talk about that later. ”

Bi Datong thought for a while and said: "There are so many things in the cottage, I can't let the eldest brother work alone, although I also want to go to Jizhou City to meet the prince, think about it, or wait until the things are done before going." ”

Li Qi said: "No, no, no, the second master, in the past, you dealt with the people in the palace, what you heard and saw, who knows if the people among them have temporarily changed the words of the prince?" ”

He leaned forward, lowered his voice and said, "You also know that who doesn't know who works for the government won't eat and take cards?" The conditions that the prince gave you are lenient, but the people who see you may not be lenient, if they are really lenient, how can they get the money? ”

He said with a smile: "In the past few years, the second master should have spent a lot of money, and I can't say that one or two pieces of silver have not reached the prince, if this is the case, is it a loss?" It's better to go back to Jizhou with me, I will introduce you, and explain anything to the prince face to face, so that the intermediate links of those transmissions are also omitted. ”

Bi Datong looked at Li Qi with sincere eyes, and for a moment he was really moved by what he said, thinking that he had really sent a lot of silver out for more than a year, could it be that he was really greedy by those who passed the word?

If this is the case, maybe the prince doesn't know what he wants at all.

But just as he was about to say yes, he suddenly came to his senses...... This surnamed Li is so sincere, it can't be said that he wants to trick him out and take the opportunity to kill him.

So he immediately shook his head and said: "There are so many masters in the cottage who have accidents, so I'll go to Jizhou City to see the prince again after a while, and then I will ask Brother Li to help introduce you." ”

Li Qi said: "That's nature, we are all our own brothers...... However, if I go to see the prince empty-handed, I will not be embarrassed......"

Second, the master's heart is tight.

He said in his heart what he was doing with that extra sentence just now?

If this surnamed Li didn't say a word when he said he was leaving, how could there be the current situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger.

If you go, you will leave, and more is better than less.

Now he opened his mouth to ask for benefits, if he gave it, this benefit might be swallowed by the surname Li, if he didn't give it, if he was really a celebrity in front of the prince, a word might be the prince to kill Bi Datong.

So to give or not to give?

Li Qi said: "Second master, can you believe me?" ”

"No, no, I'm just thinking about what gift is appropriate for the prince."

Li Qi said as a matter of course: "It's still cash." ”

Bi Datong scolded himself for a sentence or two in his heart, and scolded this little bastard surnamed Li for seventy or eighty sentences.

In the end, I decided to take out some benefits, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine gambled and lost, and lost some silver, in case the bet was right, I could really say a few good words in front of Prince Yu, and things would be easier to do in the future.

At this thought, he turned and commanded his men, "Go to my village and fetch two boxes of silver." ”

Then he looked at Li Qi and said, "Brother Li, this can be regarded as sending some mountain goods to the prince during the New Year." ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "I understand, you can rest assured." ”

In this way, Li Qi left the Yanshan camp with two boxes of silver, which made Yu Jiuling beautiful, and Yu Jiuling said in his heart Who would have thought that there would be an unexpected gain.

"When did you think about the silver of Datong?"

Yu Jiuling asked.

Li Qi smiled and said, "From the time when he didn't plan to go down the mountain with me." ”

Yu Jiuling said: "Temporary, you are really a treacherous little demon." ”

Li Qi said: "There is no way to retreat, if he really dares to go down the mountain with me to Jizhou, I will really dare to kill him, but he doesn't dare, so I have to pick out some silver." ”

Yu Jiuling said: "If Prince Yu knows about this, it's not easy to say, Xiahou has left Jizhou, and Prince Yu has no attitude towards you, just treat you as a passerby, but if you know that you have ruined Prince Yu's good deeds, most likely he will kill you." ”

Li Qi said: "Prince Yu didn't do things so quickly, so he didn't meet a group of mountain bandits in person so quickly, after all, his reputation is not good...... Originally, Prince Yu had already quickened his pace, but in the past six months, Prince Wu had wiped out almost all the rebels in Jizhou except for the Yanshan battalion. ”

"This is something that Prince Yu can't control, and as long as Prince Wu is not recalled by the court for a while, Prince Yu doesn't dare to confront Prince Wu head-on.

Li Qi continued: "And the things in the court also made Prince Yu's pace have to slow down...... year

Many years ago, Xiahou said that news came from the court that His Majesty is seriously ill now, and maybe there will be no one at any time, so Prince Yu will speed up his pace. ”

"Unexpectedly, our majesty actually survived, and it is said that after the serious illness, his body and bones have improved a lot, and now he can sing every night again."

Li Qi looked at Yu Jiuling and said: "His Majesty the Emperor will not die for a while, the great eunuch Liu Chongxin has always been favored, and he has always been in power, Prince Yu does not dare to rebel, because His Majesty will say that he is a traitor." ”

Yu Jiuling nodded and said: "I understand, when Your Majesty dies and the crown prince ascends the throne, Prince Yu will have an excuse to say that it was the great eunuch Liu Chongxin and the crown prince who killed Your Majesty, and he wants to avenge Your Majesty." ”

Li Qi said: "That killer named Yao Wuxian has been in the capital for more than a year, and God knows what Prince Yu is going to do when he is arranged to be in the capital." ”

What Li Qi didn't know was that if it weren't for Xiahou Zhuo's toughness, Prince Yu might have forced Li Qi to go to the capital as well, because a killer who is so young but strong in martial arts is rare.

Not many people would be so wary of a teenager, so relatively speaking, Li Qi is more threatening and powerful than Yao Wuxian.

But Xiahou Zhuo had a big quarrel with his father, and Prince Yu had to give up this idea.

There was a time when Prince Yu planned to invite the Changmei Daoist to live in the palace in order to persecute Li Qi.

Changmei Daoren is Li Qi's weakness, once he is imprisoned in the palace, he will become the knife in the hands of Prince Yu.

However, there is Xiahou Zhuo, so that matter is over.

Now although Xiahou Zhuo has gone to northern Xinjiang, Prince Yu has slowed down the pace of his actions, and Li Qi will not be needed for the time being.

Moreover, Li Qi's current body shape has also lost the advantage of being a chess piece and a strange piece more than a year ago.

Li Qi didn't know a lot of things, and he was secretly resolved by Xiahou Zhuo.

Yu Jiuling said: "The great eunuch Liu Chongxin is still favored, and he is becoming more and more domineering, because the prince can't do without him, and now it seems that even if the prince ascends the throne in the future, he is just Liu Chongxin's puppet." ”

"No ......"

Li Qi looked at Yu Jiuling and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not a mortal, Xiahou said that the Prince is a genius and has great ambitions, if I think correctly, as long as His Majesty dies, Liu Chongxin assists the Prince to ascend the throne smoothly, and the first thing the Prince wants to kill is Liu Chongxin." ”

Yu Jiuling was stunned.

Li Qi sighed and said, "Xiahou also said that if a person like the crown prince was born fifty years early, Da Chu might not become what he is now. ”

Yu Jiuling nodded: "The current Da Chu, no one can save it." ”

They talked all the way down the mountain, driving the carriage, but it was a little more relaxed.

Yu Jiuling suddenly asked: "Then do you think that if Yanshan Camp does not take refuge in Prince Yu, it will be able to achieve great things in the future?" ”

Li Qi shook his head: "It's difficult." ”

He looked at Yu Jiuling and said: "Prince Yu can be called the emperor, those big families won't care, because Prince Yu can't do without them, as long as they are still there, it doesn't matter which surname Yang is the emperor." ”

"But Brother Yu is different, the leaders of all the rebel teams are different, they are those people who are difficult for big families to control."

Li Qi sighed: "In the whole country of Great Chu, there are more than 1,000 rebels in various places, why is there no one who dares to be the emperor?" ”

Yu Jiuling said: "Whoever is the emperor will die first." ”

He looked at Li Qi and asked, "What about Brother Yu?" ”

Li Qi said: "He ......"

Li Qi was not easy to answer, because he saw something different in Yu Chaozong's eyes, Yu Chaozong was unwilling to take refuge in Prince Yu, not just because he was afraid of being cannon fodder, but because he was ......

Li Qi let out a long breath.
