Chapter 19: Master and Servant Reunited
The heavy rain stopped after two hours, and after the rain, a rainbow hung on the lake, Li Xiaofei wanted to ask Mr. Qi Nian to watch the rainbow together, but Mr. Qi Nian was already snoring like thunder. Just as he was about to leave quietly, Mr. Qi Nian woke up: "The old man pinched his fingers and counted, King Qinghe is about to arrive in Shou County, and Lord Taishou can return quickly." You and I are still destined to reunite, and what I want to say will be saved for later." As he spoke, he sent Li Xiaofei out of Zhangjia Village, and the five entourages were soaked in the pavilion at the entrance of the village.
Mr. Qi Nian only sent it out of the village: "Lord Taishou, I won't send it far away." I'm going to herd the cattle, this rain has passed, my dinner tonight has fallen, the cow is still hungry", a bunch of children led the cow and came around: "Sir, teach us to sing" "Sir, teach me to weave a bamboo basket".
After Li Xiaofei saluted Mr., he returned to Shou County with his entourage.
Back at the mansion, Hongrui begged for the fat fish in the Wabu River with both hands, and Li Xiaofei honestly told Hongrui about meeting Mr. Qinian. Hongrui didn't believe it, the reason was that Wang Qinian was a figure who had been the emperor's teacher thirty years ago, and he had already died of illness in Jinling and was buried next to the Taizu Mausoleum. Hongrui looked around Li Xiaofei: "But the residence and habits of this person you mentioned are indeed Mr. Qinian's hobbies, because Mr. Qinian loves bamboo, but he can't live without meat", Hongrui suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly pulled Li Xiaofei out of the door and ordered dozens of soldiers to go to Zhangjia Village to find Mr. Qinian.
When Hongrui Li Xiaofei and his party arrived at the lake, the child who had helped Li Xiaofei catch fish stopped them and said that it was a letter from Mr. Qi Nian.
Hongrui opened the letter and looked at it, and sighed: "It turns out that Mr. Qinian is still in the world, but he doesn't want to get involved in the court battle anymore, and has left Zhangjia Village to the north", Li Xiaofei pointed to the north: "We have now occupied the city in the north, and we should be able to find Mr. by going over to report the news", Hongrui waved his hand: "Mr. is like a god, King Qinghe and General Zhong have come back with a large group of people, and they are going to Jinling to fight for the throne, so Mr. Go to the north and we have no ability to find him now."
Li Xiaofei and his wife had to go back, and as soon as they walked to the city gate, they met Liu Jian and Zhong Zhiming leading the army into the city. Li Xiaofei stepped forward to lead the horse to Liu Jian, and Liu Jian picked up Li Xiaofei again: "Dare to ask Mrs. Li who keeps vigil and is gentle on the night, have you forgotten about me, the prince in distress, these days, and after a while, will you be happy with your son again", Li Xiaofei hesitated, and Hongrui blushed and spoke: "No wonder my family is flamboyant and flamboyant on fair days, dare to love Is there an unserious master, or a prince?" Just tease us like this", Liu Jian and Zhong Zhiming laughed together. Zhong Zhiming also came to join in the fun: "Yo, it seems that they are a real husband and wife, and they have helped your father-in-law speak." Xiaofei, this kid is not shallow."
Li Xiaofei dragged the horse hard and ran forward: "Lord Wang, General Zhong, don't make fun of me two of you, so many people are watching, how can you be so stubborn when you make me so stubborn?" ”
Liu Jian sighed and said, "Alas, you Taishou dare to drag the master's horse and want to fall to death the master." This is too guarded to be, I want to exempt you", Li Xiaofei also said angrily: "If you are exempt, you will be exempted, I also happened to go to Wabu Lake to fish and farm for a lifetime", Zhong Zhiming poked Li Xiaofei with a whip: "You kid deals with women and other people on weekdays, how can you be as stupid as a stupid pig in front of your prince, you and your wife are going to follow us to Jinling, what kind of guard do you still have, how can you get a big official to go to Jinling", Hongrui snorted on the horse: "Yo, it seems, Your elder sister and sister are all lying to me on weekdays, only to your prince is sincere, you just go to live with your prince, and you are not sincere in vain", Liu Jian restrained the horse: "Lord Li Taishou, you still don't lead the horse for me, otherwise your lady's vinegar jar will not be stable, if you wait to go into the city to eat in your mansion, your lady will be poisoned or something, won't this king and General Zhong be unjustly killed", Hongrui closed her eyes: "Forget it, don't look at indecent things, you continue to flirt and scold, I don't care, don't worry, I won't poison the food, I'll let you sour yourself", Zhong Zhiming also added oil and vinegar to the side: "That's right, I also have to close my eyes, you three people and two pairs, just leave me a bachelor here, I don't want to eat."
Li Xiaofei and Liu Jian frolicked and joked along the way, and after a short time, they arrived at the mansion, and Zhong Zhiming instructed his lieutenant general to lead the soldiers to settle down before entering the mansion.
The three of them had already prepared wine and food and waited, just waiting for Zhong Zhiming to sit at the table. The four of them told each other about their experiences over the past few days. It turned out that Liu Jian and Zhong Zhiming expelled the hypocrisy appointed by Hou Tianzhou or Su Shouzhong in Huainan Zhuzhou County, and exterminated the bandits who robbed merchants by the Huai River. After Li Xiaofei and his wife talked about meeting Mr. Qinian, Liu Jian was excited: "If you get Mr. Qinian's help, why can't you calm the world?" Zhong Zhiming was also excited: "If I can get Mr. Qinian's guidance, I will definitely be able to pay homage to the prime minister in this life." Li Xiaofei wanted to tell Mr. Qi Nian what he said to him, but when he saw that the two of them were excited and a little disappointed, he couldn't help it.
The four of them analyzed the situation in Jinling City while drinking, and after some discussion, they thought that the biggest opponents at the moment were King Jingling and the Taiyuan Wang clan, but Liu Jian had the status of Chen Hongyi's disciple with his back to the Xiao family, and he was also evenly matched. Therefore, this time we must rush to Jinling to fight.
