Gu Jianglin saw the scene in front of him, smiled, turned his head to Qi Lichen and said, "This trick is really good, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, using the chickens we caught." ”

"Since the fifth prince dragged me into the water, there is no need to use it in vain, anyway, these people are useless." Qi Lichen laughed, "What's more, those friends outside are not very friendly, the fifth prince really wants to fight with them again?" Then I don't mind. ”

Gu Jianglin glanced at him and said with a smile: "Qi Lichen is worthy of being Qi Lichen, and he never makes a loss-making deal. ”

"If you fight, you will still be injured, it is better to use the strength of the five princes to scare them off, this will also avoid a dispute, no matter what happens, it will still be resolved with the prime minister in the capital, and there will be no hurry at this time, he knows that I am with you." Qi Lichen shook his head lightly, of course he would not be afraid of those people, but at this time, he hoped to use more peaceful means.

Xi Muyun is here, he doesn't want to worry too much, it is best to be able to resolve it, it is good to delay it for a long time, in short, he will not let Xi Muyun have too much danger.

This time he went to the capital, he didn't want Xi Murong to go, but unfortunately the emperor wanted to see Xi Duyun, and he couldn't help it, there were many tricks and conspiracies, and he was afraid that Xi Muyun would be hurt.

But now he can only do his best to protect Xi Muyun's safety, the emperor will send him to Qixian after seeing him, there is the headquarters of Qingyu Pavilion, and people with high merit can protect Xi Muyun's safety, this time it will definitely not be like the last time.

The yard was cleaned up, there was no sound at all, the innkeeper and the shopkeeper slept with the shopkeeper Zhengxiang, only those who had experienced the thrill knew what was going on, such as those in black, such as the Jingcheng guard, for example, the two little thieves peeking outside the door, but in the end they didn't dare to come in.

Xi Muyun waited at the staircase on the second floor for a while, and Qi Lichen came up, his face was a little tired, as if he was tired of everything here, and seemed to be tired of this kind of chasing, killing, and can't dodge the days.

She called Qi Lichen softly, "Those people are here to kill you?" ”

Qi Lichen reacted at this time, in the dark, she was always there.

"It's not." He shook his head, "It was sent by the six princes, compared to the five princes who could compete with him for the throne, my identity is not worth such a heavy hand for him, not to mention that he and the prime minister have already reached a consensus, and they probably want to act separately, but they didn't expect that we would gather in Jiangzhou, those people are really well-trained, if it weren't for the emperor who left the capital guard, I'm afraid this time it would be enough to deal with these people, Gu Jianglin doesn't have any manpower, and my manpower doesn't want to lend it to him." ”

"This royal battle is really tireless, it seems that no matter where you are born, you have your own sufferings." Xi Muyun smiled, "If it were an ordinary family, the two of them would definitely be harmonious." ”

"It's hard to say, it's not a mother." Qi Lichen shook his head and said: "For the sake of interests, brothers can turn against each other, let alone others." ”

"I know you're in a bad mood, so answer my last question, why aren't you willing to lend the Fifth Prince your manpower? Aren't you on good terms? Xi Muyun asked strangely.

"Because I need enough strength to protect the people I care about." Qi Lichen said softly.

Xi Muyun didn't react, Qi Lichen just smiled faintly, "Go back and rest." ”

"I hope you can tell me that I don't want to be a canary behind you, I want to stand side by side with you, face the same things with you, face the same choices, and not just think it's good for me and don't tell me everything." Xi Muyun said seriously.

"It's not time yet, I'll tell you when I'm really decided." Qi Lichen smiled relievedly, gently grabbed Xi Muyun, and held her in his arms, "I seem to have found many other meaningful things in my life. ”

After hearing this, Xi Muyun's nose was sour because he was a little moved, but he didn't say much, just gently pushed Qi Lichen, "How many people did you kill today?" There is a smell of blood on my body, it really smells terrible, remember to wash it well, I will go back to rest first. ”

"By the way, you can be on your way tomorrow." Qi Lichen smiled, "There shouldn't be any danger along the way, is there any place you want to go, I can take you on a detour." ”

"No need, settle the matter as soon as possible, I still want to go back to Qi County, business there is inseparable from people, not to mention, I also want you to go back and see, by the way, if you can, we can take a detour and take a boat to the north, as long as one day, no matter where it is, I have a surprise for you." Xi Muyun smiled and said.

"In this way, on the way to the capital, I will pass by a place called Fengxian Town, from where I take a boat, there is a place with good mountains and rivers, I used to pass by when I was in exile, the scenery there is very beautiful, and there are many small mountain villages." Qi Lichen suggested.

Xi Muyun looked carefully, and thought about it, this neighborhood seemed to be within his business scope, where the north was arid, but the climate was very suitable.

Li Si should not miss any opportunity to expand his business.

When Huang Xu stumbled to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already late at night, and there were only crows howling miserably on the willow tops of the moon.

Exhausted, he collapsed in front of the door and knocked lightly.

Soon someone came to open the door, it was the housekeeper, and he was muttering and scolding, after all, it was so late, it could not be any dignitaries and nobles coming, only there could be two kinds of people, one was the prime minister's subordinates, and the other was the person who had nothing to do and dared to make trouble in front of the prime minister's door.

He dared to offend both of these people.

The housekeeper opened the door, his eyes first looked upward, and no one found Huang Xu lying at the door.

"Hey, aren't you Huang Xu? Why did you come back so late? The butler asked.

"The prime minister asked me to go out on a secret mission, but unfortunately the mission failed." Huang Xu said, choking out a mouthful of blood, "I have no choice but to come back so late." ”

"No wonder you're covered in injuries, and the prime minister is also asleep, so I can't see you, I'll report you the next morning." The butler said, and helped him in.

Huang Xu almost couldn't walk on his own, the wounds on his body were still bleeding, and the blood was dripping all the way.

When he returned to the room, Huang Xu grabbed the housekeeper and said: "It's not easy for us to work outside, butler, I know that the prime minister trusts you very much, can you say more good things about me in front of the prime minister, I'm afraid that the prime minister will blame me." ”

Saying that, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket, handed it to the housekeeper and said: "There is nothing good on the body, please accept this jade pendant by the housekeeper, and it should be a chat to express gratitude, as long as I can spare my life, I will definitely do a good job for the prime minister in the future." ”

"You're all injured, what's the use of saying this, and I don't want this thing." The housekeeper took a look, the jade pendant was in good condition, although it was a little smaller, but it should be a good thing.

Huang Xu saw the greed that flashed in the housekeeper's eyes, and he had a little confidence in his heart, so he stuffed the jade pendant into the housekeeper's hand, "It's just a worthless gadget, just ask the housekeeper to say two good words, whether it works out or not, thank you to the housekeeper." ”

The housekeeper didn't shirk this time, nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you have a good rest, I'll bring you good white medicine tomorrow, and when I see the prime minister, I'll say good things for you." ”
