Chapter Ninety-Seven: Zhou Qi Leaves Huizhou
Zhou Qi decided to return to the capital and began to secretly prepare his luggage, and the next morning, Zhou Qi left a letter and left alone. When Li Bo found out that Zhou Qi was missing, he almost sent someone to chase him.
"My lord, if you chase it now, everyone will know about it!" Chain desperately stopped Li Bo, he must not let people know that the fifth prince left his post without permission.
"But my lord, the second stunned man and Zhang Guang are still outside, if it is ......"
Li Bo listened to He Ping's words, his heart sank, and he raised his legs on the table, "This dead Zhou Qi!" As soon as he finished scolding, Li Bo hurriedly slapped the wood, "Bah, bah." ”
"What's wrong?"
Everyone looked back, and Zhang Ling walked in. "It's none of your business, Lord Zhou is not here now, you can go back." Li Bo said angrily.
"So, Lord Zhou has already left? Then I'll go to the capital. ”
"Oops, hey." Li Bo grabbed Zhang Ling, "Why are you going?" ”
"Go to the capital, why aren't you worried about Lord Zhou?"
"I'm worried that I'm worried, you can't worry."
"What's wrong with me?"
"Don't think I don't know what your heart is. Let me tell you, since you have guessed the identity of Lord Zhou, you should keep to yourself and rot this secret in your stomach. Otherwise, be careful that I'm not kind to you! ”
"You're welcome to me?" Zhang Ling slowly walked into Li Bo, "How do you want to be polite to me?" ”
"You, you, you......"
"What's wrong with me? Master Li, I, Zhang Ling, am a businessman, and the Great Zhou Law does not prohibit commercial circulation, so I can go wherever I want. After speaking, Zhang Ling turned around and left.
Li Bo was so angry that he waited for Zhang Ling's back, "Hey, me, you stop for me!" Saying that, Li Bo took two steps and grabbed Zhang Ling, "You stop me!" ”
Zhang Ling glanced at his hand that was grabbed by Li Bo, "My lord? ”
Li Bo hurriedly let go and took out Zhou Qi's letter, "Lord Zhou explained when he left, let you and I pretend that Lord Zhou is sick together in Huizhou, and ask Miss Zhang to cooperate." ”
Zhang Ling took the letter, unwilling, at such a moment, she hoped that she could be around Zhou Qi.
"Miss Zhang, I grew up with Master Zhou since I was a child, I have to remind you that no one can change what he decides, if I am you, I will obediently do what he says."
Zhang Ling thought about it for a long time, she knew that a prince, especially the prince of the Great Zhou, would do what he said, and others could not say much. Zhang Ling didn't want to anger Zhou Qi, and thought: Zhou Qi returned to Beijing for his sister, and if he could help him hide his whereabouts in Huizhou, it would also be a great achievement. "Okay, then you go and ask the doctor, I will come to visit every day."
He Ping saw that this matter seemed to be settled, and stood behind Li Bo and whispered: "My lord, Zhang Guang and the second are stunned. ”
"In this way, you send people to set off in the direction of the capital, as long as you find the adults to protect them secretly."
"I'll take someone with me."
"No, you have to be here, so as not to arouse suspicion."
In this way, He Ping selected ten people, divided them into four groups, mixed into the crowd and went out of the city, tracking them all the way to the north, and secretly protecting Zhou Qi.
Here, Zhou Qi hurried away, and the second stunned man quickly tracked him down, and he found out
Zhang Guang didn't keep up, thinking that this might be Zhou Qi's conspiracy again, so he didn't dare to rush forward, but quietly followed behind for two days and entered the Shandong territory. Out of the Huizhou boundary into Shandong, the two stunned decided to do it. Although I don't know the reason, Zhou Qi left his post without permission, and even if he was attacked, it would be impossible to find help from the government, which was a godsend.
In the palace, the emperor secretly investigated how Huanting got out of the palace, but found nothing, and there seemed to be no one else to help. The queen sent people out of the palace for a long time, but only Concubine Li's palace maids went in and out twice, and they didn't come back at all the second time. The emperor looked at the palace gate files, and his heart beat a drum, if Concubine Li released Huanting, what did she want? If Wan Ting really can't come back, then the marriage between Da Zhou and Xiliang will be over, and the queen's sin will naturally be the greatest, and it will affect Zhou Qi, and he, the only prince, will never turn over. Thinking so, the emperor was sure that it was Concubine Li Guifei who assisted Huanting in escaping, and even deliberately said in front of the emperor on the night of Huanting's escape that Huanting was not, and the emperor threw the file on the ground, "His heart can be punished, his heart can be punished!" ”
"Your Majesty?"
The emperor glared at Liu Xi, who shouldn't have spoken, and Liu Xi quickly lowered his body.
"Let's get behind the wheel."
"Your Majesty, do you still want to go to Concubine Li?"
"Go to the Queen."
The emperor went to the queen's bedroom, Concubine Li became nervous, the token was lost and had not been found, and the gambling house business of the third prince was known by Huanting. Li Bo is also worried, for two days, there has been no news from Zhou Qi, even from the guard team. They set off half a day later than Zhou Qi, if the horse galloped fast, they might be able to catch up, but Zhou Qi's equestrianism has also been strictly trained, if he is also in a hurry to return to Beijing, then it is difficult to say when he will be able to catch up. Now it is really internal and external troubles, and the official documents in Huizhou are piled up, and Li Bo can only reply one by one with a stubborn defense against Zhou Qi's tone.
"Master Li pretended to be the prefect, and he is really familiar with it."
Li Bo squinted at Zhang Ling, and continued to read the official document, "You pretended to visit the sick and acted well." ”
"Each other, each other."
"I've played enough today, you can go back."
"Master Lee." Zhang Ling paused, "Tell me about Miss Zhou, I haven't seen her before." ”
Li Bo looked at Zhang Ling for a long time, and said: "Miss Zhou and Lord Zhou are twin brothers and sisters, if Miss Zhou is said to be an adult, so you just want to listen to Lord Zhou?" Or do you want to hear about Lord Zhou? ”
Zhang Ling was exposed by Li Bo, and he was not annoyed, "If you want to say it, I won't stop it." ”
"I advise you to think less."
"What? Isn't our Zhang family worthy of him? ”
"Shinong business and business, you merchants are not worthy." Li Bo stared at Zhang Ling's eyes and said.
Zhang Ling also stared at Li Bo's eyes, "Lord Li, this Great Zhou is here, the prince will be honored, if the Great Zhou dies, the prince will ......."
Li Bo snapped and closed the official document, "You'd better be careful when you speak." ”
Zhang Ling stood up and said slowly, "I heard that King Xiliang has arrived
The dowry was sent to the capital, and the sixth princess will marry to Xiliang next month. We have long had a precedent in the Central Plains for marrying princesses and relatives, but few real princesses marry outside, but they pretend to be the daughters of palace maids or ministers. But our Da Zhou is not only married to a real princess, but also a princess, which is enough to show that our Da Zhou is not as prosperous as it seems. Li Bo's eyes dimmed, and Zhang Ling continued: "Xiliang has prospered in recent years, and even the Hui merchants and Jin merchants have also fought for the territory of Xiliang, and I know that the emperor is helpless to marry his daughter. ”
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Ling was facing Li Bo, "I can help him." ”
"Help? How can it help? ”
"If you marry my Zhang family, not only can you control the economic lifeline of the Great Zhou, but even the shopping malls in Xiliang can also be used by the five princes."
"Hmph."
"You don't believe me?"
"I think you're for your Zhang family, right? Not to mention that now in the Great Zhou, the status of your Jin merchants is no longer as good as that of Hui merchants, that is, in Xiliang, can your Zhang family cover the sky with one hand? ”
"The Five Princes and I can fulfill each other."
Li Bo stood up and stood opposite Zhang Ling, "Miss Zhang, don't be smart, be careful to steal chickens and rice." ”
……
In the evening of that day, Zhou Qi entered the inn to stay, and the two stunned followed. Zhou Qi calculated the time, even if he was fast, it would take many days to enter Beijing, and when he arrived in the capital, he couldn't let people find himself, and he thought about Wan Ting who didn't know where to hide, and he had to go to Shuntianfu to ask Chen Mingyang, but how to go in and ask was also a problem. Zhou Qi was distraught, and finally decided to ask his grandfather for help, and made up his mind, so Zhou Qi washed up and planned to rest early and get up early tomorrow to hurry. Not long after the lights went out, he heard a commotion outside, Zhou Qi listened attentively, only to hear a father and daughter arguing downstairs. "Li Laosi!" Zhou Qi sat up instantly, he thought he had heard it wrong, only to hear Li Laosi also shout, "Wu Yi! ”
It turned out that Wu Yi and Li Laosi's father and daughter went out of Huizhou and planned to return to their hometown in Shandong, but Li Laosi was reluctant to give up on Huizhou, and he was looking for trouble with Wu Yi all day long.
"It's useless for you to call me! I'm telling you, I'll go on the road tomorrow and go back to my hometown, you give me an honesty! ”
"Oh, come and see, my daughter is going to abuse me!" Li Laosi leaned on the chair and cried and grabbed the ground.
"Who abused you?"
"It's you, an unfilial girl, you see that my legs and feet are inconvenient, so you plan to starve me to death, and you won't be given food or clothing. God, I pulled her up with a handful of and urine, but why did you abuse me like this! ”
Li Laosi shouted, and saw a big push around the excitement, and the shopkeeper ran over, "I said what's the matter with you?" It's like this every day, let me tell you, our shopkeeper said, if you continue to make trouble like this, I'll blow you out! ”
"Hey, which turtle grandson said that? What's wrong with our father and daughter talking? Are you still afraid of being popular when you open a store? What's going on? Everyone pretends to be dead and doesn't speak, are you happy? ”
"I said this guest, are you talking about human words? What does it mean to pretend to be dead? We are an inn, you can live but not out! ”
"Hey,
We spend money to live in the hotel, why do you still bully customers? We live here, we won't go out, what can you do with Lao Tzu? ”
"Dad, don't say a word!" Wu Yi has served Li Laosi in the past two days, and he doesn't care about messing around with himself every day, and he also scolded and scolded the shopkeeper and raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll take my father back to the house." Wu Yi came up and pushed Li Laosi, but Li Laosi still pretended to be completely disabled, "You stand up, can you stop pretending?" ”
"What did I pretend? I just can't stand up, how long can I live without Lord Zhou's ginseng? You're still slapping me like this every day, oh my God, why am I so miserable! ”
Wu Yi had enough strength to push Li Laosi's chair, "When I settle you, I'll go to Qian Ning, and you can make trouble alone." ”
"What? You really don't care about your dad anymore? I'm so miserable! Everyone, help me report to the official, I won't survive. Li Laosi shouted for a long time, watching the excitement, but not helping, Li Laosi was pushed into the room by Wu Yi, and still did not relent, "Wu Yi, do you say that you are poor!" You don't want a good adult, you don't want a young owner, you don't want to take so much silver and don't find a good place to settle down, live in this broken inn every day, you say, do you want to kill me, so that you can live a good life by yourself. ”
"If I tried to kill you, I should have thrown you into the woods, and with your legs, you could catch up with me!"
"Hey, you want the bear blind to shoot me to death? Okay, I've raised you for nothing for so many years, my God......" Li Laosi was still messing around in the room on the first floor, Zhou Qi upstairs didn't want to see them, so he made up his mind to sleep, and the second stunned man next door was ready, and he would do it today to avenge his years of revenge.
