Chapter 12: Li Lao's words
Li Jiang served a plate of freshly made osmanthus cake, with a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, Zhao Gao immediately stood up and walked towards Li Jiang, took the osmanthus cake in her hand, put it directly in the palm of her hand, took a piece and put it in her mouth, and enjoyed it with a look of enjoyment.
When Meng Tian saw Zhao Gao's move, he was unwilling, and he also stood up and walked in front of Zhao Gao and stretched out his hand to think about the few osmanthus cakes, but Zhao Gao was on one side, and then said to Meng Tian: "You said, don't rob it with me." ”
"Zhao Gao, can you eat such a large plate of osmanthus cake alone? Give me a few pieces. When Meng Tian saw Zhao Gao's movements, he immediately had a feeling that he wanted to deal with him by military law, and he was too bad to clean up.
"If I can't finish eating, I'll take it back." Zhao Gao was not threatened by Meng Tian, and he didn't forget to take a bite of osmanthus cake as he spoke.
"Zhao Gao, believe it or not, I asked Vice General Yang to arrest you and take you to the barracks to wash your clothes." Meng Tian looked at Zhao Gao, who was not tidying up, and rushed up to rob it.
In an instant, Meng Tian and Zhao Gao were in a mess, and the previous serious atmosphere was gone all of a sudden, looking at the god of war who fought bravely on the battlefield and won a hundred battles, and now he was fighting with others for a piece of osmanthus cake, where was the majesty of the god of war, it was like a child who had not grown up.
Li Jiang laughed unconsciously when he thought about it, Meng Tian listened to Li Jiang's laughter, tidied up his clothes a little embarrassed, turned around and sat back in his position, and then said to Zhao Gao: "I don't fight with you, you can eat by yourself." ”
Seeing this, Li Jiang walked in front of Zhao Gao with a smile, then stretched out his hand to take the osmanthus cake in Zhao Gao's hand, and then brought it to Meng Tian and said, "Brother Meng, you can eat it." ”
Zhao Gao looked at the osmanthus cake in his hand and was taken to Meng Tian by Li Jiang, and said unwillingly: "Jiang'er, how can you be so partial." ”
"Ah Gao, don't make fun of Brother Meng anymore." After listening to Zhao Gao's complaints, Li Jiang said with a smile: "Brother Meng has been working hard for his father's affairs today, and he must be hungry now." ”
"Okay, okay, I'm not just kidding." Zhao Gao waved his hand, then walked back to his position and sat down, and then said, "Jiang Er will definitely make a separate one for me next time." ”
"If Ah Gao likes it, there are still some in the kitchen, and when you leave later, you can take some with you." Seeing that Zhao Gao liked the osmanthus cake he made very much, Li Jiang was also very happy in his heart.
When Zhao Gao heard this, he was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's better for Jiang Er to treat me well." ”
Meng Tian actually didn't eat a few pieces of osmanthus cake, although the osmanthus cake made by Li Jiang was sweet but not greasy, and it melted in his mouth, but Meng Tian didn't like sweets very much, so he put it down after tasting a few.
At this time, Li Lao walked out of the inner room, he had already changed into a simple and light clothes, and the whole person looked a lot more relaxed.
And Meng Tian and Zhao Gao stood up together and saluted respectfully to Li Lao, "Li Lao." ”
"General Meng, Ah Gao, don't be so polite, sit down." Li Jiang sat down with Li Lao.
Meng Tian and Zhao Gao also sat down in their seats, and Li Lao said slowly: "Thanks to the two of you today, Li thanked me again." ”
"Old Li, you're polite." Meng Tian saw that Li Lao thanked him, and said, "Today's events are all because of me. ”
"It's all my fault for this, it's because I didn't think about it and let the refugees kneel at the city gate, so that all these problems will occur." Zhao Gao, who was sitting on the side, spoke.
"You are also for the good of the refugees, and your heart is already very rare." Li Lao said appreciatively to Zhao Gao.
"It's a false alarm, and as long as we are careful, there won't be any big problems." Meng Tian opened his mouth and said: "I just hope that Li Lao and Jiang Er, when they see Li Si Mo in the future, they will stay longer, Li Si will compete with me in the court, and eradicate dissidents in private, so as not to let Li Lao and Jiang Er be affected by the waves, and see Li Si leave quickly in the future." ”
"Yes, for a villain like Li Si, don't pay attention to it, just leave." Zhao Gao said approvingly.
"The old man understands." Li Lao nodded and replied, Li Lao was in the court today, and saw Meng Tian and Li Si competing against each other, Li Si targeted Meng Tian everywhere, Li Lao knew that this court was intertwined, and the water was bottomless, not because ordinary people like him were offended, one wrong step was an abyss, and there were no bones.
Meng Tian and Zhao Gao stayed in the Li Mansion for a while before leaving, watching Meng Tian and Zhao Gao leave, Li Lao slowly said to Li Jiang: "Jiang'er, you come in with me, I have something to talk to you." ”
"Yes, father." Li Jiang listened to Li Lao's words and helped Li Lao into the room.
Li Lao sat at the desk in the study, his face was a little solemn, and Li Jiang asked when he saw this, "Father, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Jiang Er, do you know that your husband is above the court today, and he really sees the court's deception, which is very dangerous." Li Lao still has a little palpitation when he thinks about it now, and he is scared.
"Father, it's common for the court to cheat, but now that it's over, my father is more at ease." Li Jiang listened to Li Lao's words and said comfortingly.
"It's not going to be so easy to explain." Elder Li listened to Li Jiang's words, shook his head and said: "The affairs of the court are not simple, today I saw Li Si and already knew that if he made a wrong step, it would be an abyss, and there would be no bones. ”
"Father, let's just avoid these people in the future." Li Jiang comforted.
"Jiang'er, you don't understand, as long as we work with General Meng, even if we hide from this kind of thing, we will still find us, and it is inevitable." Li Lao looked at Li Jiang solemnly and said.
Li Jiang listened to Li Lao's words, and finally understood his words, Li Jiang opened his mouth and said: "Father means that we not only have to avoid Li Si, but also keep a distance from Brother Meng?" ”
"If you want to protect yourself, you have to do this." Li Lao said.
Li Jiang disagreed, and Li Jiang said to Li Lao: "Father, Brother Meng and Ah Gao have saved us, how can we stay away from them for our own safety, and our mansion is also sold to us by Brother Meng." ”
"I know that, too." Li Lao was also very hesitant.
"Father, my life was saved by Brother Meng, if I want to return it to Brother Meng one day, I am also willing, not to mention that my father didn't teach Jiang Er since he was a child, and the grace of dripping water will be reciprocated." Li Jiang looked at the hesitant Li Lao and continued: "What's more, father, we have already attracted Li Si's attention, do you think it is still useful for us to keep our distance at this time?" It's just cold, Brother Meng's heart is swinging. ”
"Swing, swing." Li Lao listened to what Li Jiang said, waved his hand and said, "You should step back first." ”
"Yes, father." After Li Jiang said respectfully, he left the study.
Li Lao looked at the back of Li Jiang leaving, and his heart was full of feelings, Li Lao felt that he and Li Jiang were lucky to meet Meng Tian in the first place.
Li Jiang looked at the door for a while, sighed softly and left, Li Jiang knew what his father was thinking, but it was too late now, not to mention that he had become a plan to leave Brother Meng and Ah Gao.
Today is the last day of the competition, Li Jiang came to the refugee area early, Gao Mu and others are already there, with the help of the refugees, they temporarily built two grass houses for the refugees, these days, which are frail and sick, the old and young refugees have these two grass houses, which is also an extra place to shelter from the wind and rain, plus Li Jiang for the carpenter to give porridge, this part of the refugees' faces have eased a lot.
When Gao Mu and the others saw Li Jiang coming, they stepped forward and saluted, "Miss Li Jiang." ”
"Today is the last day, so join me in giving porridge." Li Jiang said with a smile.
"Okay." Takagi and others replied.
Looking at the neatly lined up refugees, Li Jiang felt very uncomfortable, and at this time a child asked, "Sister, are you and your brothers not coming again tomorrow?" ”
Li Jiang saw the child in front of him, squatted down, touched the child's head, and then said, "Bao'er, my sister will miss you." ”
"Bao'er, I can't bear my sister, I can't bear my brother, you are good people, Bao'er likes to be with you." Said the child named Boa.
At this time, the mother who followed Bao'er said to Bao'er: "Bao'er, my sister has been very good to us, we can't drag my sister and brothers down." ”
"Bao'er knows." Bao'er heard her mother's words and nodded and said.
Li Jiang looked at the sensible Bao'er, touched his head, and then said: "Your Majesty has issued an order to open a warehouse and release grain, give you grain and silver, so that you can leave Xianyang City and live again." ”
"Really? Miss Li Jiang, has Your Majesty really made an order? The refugee asked in disbelief when he heard the news.
"Yes, Your Majesty has issued a holy decree, and the Prime Minister of Great Qin will open a warehouse to release grain in the next few days." Looking at the excited refugees, Li Jiang said affirmatively.
"It's really good, we have been saved, long live your majesty, long live long live." After listening to Li Jiang's affirmative answer, the refugees knelt down excitedly and thanked the Holy Grace.
"Miss Li Jiang, thank you very much." Bao'er's mother shouted tears and said to Li Jiang: "I know that it is because of your efforts, Miss Li Jiang, that we were saved, and Bao'er and I thank you." With that, Bao'er's mother pulled Bao'er and prepared to kneel.
Li Jiang hurriedly hugged Bao'er's mother and said, "We haven't done anything, I hope you will take Bao'er to live a stable life in the future." ”
"I will definitely let Bao'er live a stable life, Miss Li Jiang rest assured." Bao'er's mother said gratefully.
After the last porridge, Li Jiang left with Gao Mu and others, and Vice General Yang also left with the soldiers, and the refugees stood together to watch them leave.
"Thank you Vice General Yang for these past few days." Li Jiang thanked Vice General Yang.
"Miss Li Jiang is polite." Vice General Yang respectfully saluted Li Jiang and said, "Now I will go back to the general and say goodbye." ”
"Farewell." Li Jiang didn't stop him, and said to Vice General Yang with a hearty fist, watching Vice General Yang and the others leave.
