When that gate was lowered, it might have been to maintain the last trace of dignity of the monarchs and ministers of those secluded mountain countries.

When Li Qi and the others returned to the carriage and horse shop, it was already afternoon, and everyone had been busy digging the underground palace for the past two days, and only after they came out did they remember that tomorrow was the big day for Prince Yu to send troops.

Li Qi asked Xiahou Zhuo if he wanted to go over to have a look, Xiahou Zhuo shook his head, he was too lazy to go, the reason why he agreed to stay in Jizhou actually had nothing to do with his father, he just wanted to protect his mother and Li Qi and their brothers.

If Yang Zhuo was left behind, there was no need to guess what he would do.

"Counting the days."

Tang Pidi said: "There should be no resistance within a month after Prince Yu sent his troops, because what he walked through in this month was basically the territory of Jizhou, and after a month, he would go to the junction of Yuzhou and Jizhou, and there would be a fierce battle at that time." ”

He looked at Li Qi and said: "If Yanzhou sends troops, it can reach the city of Jizhou in two months at the latest, and the Yanzhou army can give up all the towns along the way and go straight to Jizhou. ”

Li Qi nodded: "Two months...... In a flash. ”

Tang Pi said: "If the Yuzhou army is divided into two routes, one way relies on the heavenly moat of the Nanping River to block Prince Yu's army, and the other way goes around to kill Prince Benyu, it will only take two months at most." ”

Xiahou sighed: "Who can blame, it has been more than a year since he sent troops, and everyone knows that he is going to send troops." ”

"We've got to get ready."

Li Qi said: "In two months, Jizhou may be surrounded, and then Prince Yu's army will be involved in the Yuzhou army on the front line of the Nanping River and will not be able to return to the army in time, and Jizhou will become an island." ”

Xiahou Zhuo smiled: "Fortunately, there is me." ”

Li Qi shook his head and said: "You won't be comfortable at that time, although Jizhou City is strong, but the first Yanzhou army to arrive cannot be underestimated, Yanzhou is adjacent to the Bohai Sea, Yanzhou Army is fighting all year round, compared with the Jizhou Army, these old soldiers, the Yanzhou Army is the real army." ”

Xiahou snorted: "Fortunately, there is no shortage of grain and grass materials in Jizhou." ”

He looked at Li Qi and said, "Don't worry about the problem of grain and grass here, if it's not enough, I will transfer it." ”

Li Qi shook his head and said: "You don't need to be distracted by the carriage and horse shop, you should really go back to the barracks now, even if you don't go to see your father, you have to be with your pro-barracks." ”

Xiahou Zhuo sighed, he looked at Li Qi and said, "Take your godmother to the carriage and horse shop, so that there is no need for Mr. Ye and your master to take turns guarding over there." ”

Li Qi nodded: "Okay." ”

As soon as he said this, a guy from outside ran in, saying that someone had sent an invitation, and the person put down the invitation and left, and it was someone from the March River Building.

Gao Xining's eyes lit up when she heard the name March Jianglou, and she leaned over to Li Qi and encouraged: "Go and go, don't you say that March Jianglou is in the sky, and if a man goes in, he will linger, you must go...... Take me with you, and I'll go for a long time. ”

Li Qi: "Why do you have such broken knowledge!" ”

Gao Xining: "You're in a hurry." ”

Li Qi: "How can I have ......?"

Gao Xining: "Are you in a hurry not to take me there?" ”

Li Qi: "I ......"

Gao Xining said: "Either take me there, or you go by yourself, you choose one." ”

Li Qi: "I'll go by myself." ”

Gao Xining: "Wow! ”

"The people of the Cui family, I can't wait for your father's army to leave the city and let me go, why do you think it is?"

Li Qi looked at Xiahou Zhuo.

Xiahou Zhuo said with great seriousness: "This matter may be a little strange, I can't let you take the risk alone, I have to go with you." ”

Li Qi: "Wow! ”

Yu Jiuling said: "One more person and one more helper......

Before he finished speaking, he was pulled aside by Zhuang Wuyi, Zhuang Wuyi looked at Li Qi and opened his mouth, maybe he felt that it was boring to say anything, so he shut up again and stood beside Li Qi without moving.

The meaning is clear, I don't speak, but I'm going.

Xiahou Zhuo said: "They can all be left unattended, but I must go, because I am familiar with the terrain, and if there is any accident, I will play the greatest role." ”

Li Qi looked at Tang Pidi: "Are you going?" ”

Tang Pidi shook his head and said, "You go, someone has to guard the house." ”

Li Qi said: "Look at Old Tang, and then look at yourself, it's really a world of difference, and I'm ashamed of you." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned around and held Tang Bi's hand and said, "Then this trip is hard, you go for me." ”

Don had a question mark on his face.

After Li Qi finished speaking, he actually turned around and left, Gao Xining looked at the guy's stunned appearance, smiled, chased after him with his back hand, bumped Li Qi with his shoulder and asked, "Why don't you go?" ”

Li Qi said: "I am in charge, and I have to be in charge." ”

Gao Xining: "Didn't you go because of something else?" ”

Li Qi said righteously: "Categorically not, if I want to go, what else can stop me?" I really don't want to go. ”

Gao Xining said: "In fact, a mature and successful man should be comprehensive and all-encompassing, and Qinglou is also an experience that should be ......."

Li Qi said: "Big brother, your pit is very stiff, it is equivalent to pressing my head and stuffing it into the pit, which is not good." ”

Gao Xining laughed.

She asked, "So what are you going to do?" ”

Li Qi said as he walked: "I don't know who it is, when I was in the academy, I swore that I wanted to practice peerless martial arts, but it has been many days since I arrived at the carriage and horse shop, and I have never seen her practice once." ”

Gao Xining said with a slight flush: "I have two sisters to take care of, where do you have so much time, you were worried that something would happen in Jizhou two days ago, didn't you let people take Yuan Jiabei and her mother-in-law over, I have to take care of her and Yingyuan every day, hugging left and right, but very tired." ”

Li Qi: "......"

He walked to the side of the small martial arts arena in the backyard, looked at Gao Xining and said, "Come, practice the boxing techniques I taught you and I'll take a look." ”

Gao Xining sighed, walked to the martial arts arena with a wilt, she took a deep breath, and then began to practice.

Li Qi watched her boxing and felt that her legs were so beautiful...... Bah!

March River Building.

Cui Tai sat in the study and counted the account books, he is indeed a conscientious shopkeeper, and he will personally check the accounts every day, and not a single copper coin will be counted badly.

Uncle Yingying walked in from outside the study, she stood in front of Cui Tai, she didn't speak, just stood there and watched.

After a while, Cui Tai put down the account book in his hand, and he glanced at his uncle Yingying: "What do you want to say?" ”

Uncle Yingying said: "I want to kill Prince Yu." ”

Cui Tai laughed, a little relieved, because he knew that his uncle Yingying had finally figured things out, why did the Cui family save such an insignificant little person as her, not because she was the most murderous woman.

"You are very beautiful, your figure is also good, and there are three points of charm in your appearance, especially the faint beauty mole at the corner of your eyes, which is very charming, so a woman like you, Prince Yu should also like it, I heard that his favorite is a petite woman."

Cui Tae said: "But now is the wrong time. ”

Uncle Yingying said: "Tomorrow he will lead the army out of the city, and then return to Jizhou, I don't know what year and month, if he wins, he will not come back, directly into the capital, now the time is not right, where is the opportunity in the future?" ”

Cui Tai said: "Why did I keep you, you have already realized it yourself, don't ask about other things, learn to shut up, and when the time comes, I will naturally arrange someone to send you over." ”

He looked at his uncle Yingying and said: "You are the woman who is the best at killing, but not the woman who is the best at seducing men, there are a lot of things you have to learn in the March Jianglou, if you can't meet my requirements, you will never have the opportunity to kill Prince Yu, I will not gamble with a disobedient person like you." ”

Uncle Yingying bit her lip, and after a moment, she took a deep breath.

"Mr. Cui, then you tell me an approximate time."

"At least three months."

Choi Tae said: "But not necessarily, when I can't see hatred in your eyes, when will I talk about it again." ”

Uncle Yingying was silent for a long time, and she asked another question: "Why did you kill Prince Yu?" ”

Cui Tai's eyes lit up.

"I said you shouldn't ask more, I've already warned you once, and if you commit it again, you should be a palm."

Uncle Yingying snorted: "You can try to see if you can." ”

Cui Tai said: "I hope that the next time I say slap my mouth, you will move faster yourself." ”

As soon as his words fell, a black shadow flashed from behind the screen on his side, and grabbed Uncle Yingying's shirt, Uncle Yingying's face changed greatly, she immediately retreated, and at the same time her hand touched her waist, and she brought a short knife.

Her hand had just grasped the hilt of the sword, and her body retreated half a step, thinking that she had avoided the attack of the dark shadow.

But he couldn't avoid it at all, the man grabbed Uncle Yingying's clothes, pulled Uncle Yingying over, raised his hand and was about to fan it, the slap was only a finger width away from Uncle Yingying's face, and the palm wind blew up the hair hanging down from Uncle Yingying's forehead.

Because Choi Tae shouted to stop.

When the voice came, the palm of the hand immediately stopped, and this reaction was already shocking.

"She'll see guests in a while, remember, double the fight next time."

Cui Tai said lightly.

As soon as the person who grabbed Uncle Yingying let go, Uncle Yingying was pushed to the ground, and he couldn't even stand firm.

She looked at the person who made the shot, and it was actually the young man who was waiting for her at the door of the Shuangxing Building, who looked like a simple guy next door, with dimples when he smiled, and a somewhat beautiful tiger tooth.

Cui Tai looked at his uncle Yingying and said, "You go back to wash and change clothes first, I sent someone to invite Li Qi over, and you and I will go to see him in a while." ”

Uncle Yingying's eyes widened suddenly, and she asked angrily, "Why! ”

Cui Tai's eyes narrowed and said: "This is the second time you have confronted me today, I will let you this time, I will kill you next time, you have to remember, I never joke with people like you." ”

He walked up to his uncle Yingying, looked down into her eyes and said, "Go wash and change your clothes, or die now." ”

Uncle Yingying was silent for a moment, got up, turned around and left.

The young man sighed and said, "Cui Gong, can this kind of person really be used?" ”

Cui Tai smiled: "It's easy to use a talent like her, Prince Yu destroyed the Xu family, she has a lot of relationship with Xu Yuanqing, even if we don't use her, she will find a way to assassinate Prince Yu herself, so why not?" ”

He looked at the young man and said, "You go and go about your business, after Prince Yu sends out his troops, the army that will attack the city will arrive in two months at most, and the most important thing is to help break the city." ”

"Yes!"

The young man leaned over and said, "I'll go now." ”

Cui Tai said: "Qin Zhuo, by the way, you tell Wei to fall into battle, try not to move the bow in the future, how can he shoot an arrow like that?" When a discerning person sees it, they will guess his identity. ”

The young man named Qin Zhuo smiled: "I know, I will tell him, but his temperament is ...... As rigid as his ancestors. ”
