Chapter 385: Don't Bargain With Me!
Linlang went very quickly and came back very quickly.
It's just that this time, the people who came with Linlang also had the history of the Puzhou government, as well as the officials of the Puzhou government.
"Zhao Yuankai, the assassin of Xiaguan Puzhou, has seen the master of the horse." Coming to Li Yi, Zhao Yuankai hurriedly bowed respectfully.
The rest of the Puzhou officials also saluted.
For Li Yi's name, they have already heard it like thunder, and they are even more divine.
Now, I finally saw Li Yi's real person, and everyone, including Zhao Yuankai, was very excited.
"Everybody, get up, you don't have to be so polite." Li Yi waved his hand lazily, he was very uninterested in Zhao Yuankai, and he didn't have any good feelings.
Because Li Yi knows that Zhao Yuankai has always had a big problem in both his actions and style.
He's just a flattering villain.
However, although this person has always been inflammatory, fortunately, he still has some hard skills.
Under his leadership, Puzhou is relatively stable, and the people's lives are not bad.
Therefore, Li Yi did not reprimand him in public.
After all, there is a good saying: only women and villains are difficult to raise.
For a villain like Zhao Yuankai, who tends to be inflammatory, has not yet returned from Dengzhou, and he has not provoked himself, Li Yi is better not to offend.
lest there be any uncontrollable changes in the middle of this trip to Dengzhou.
For Li Yi, the gains outweigh the losses.
Seeing that Li Yi looked so lazy and didn't want to see him, Zhao Yuankai thought in his heart that it was because there were pirates hiding in Puzhou, which made Li Yi angry.
"Master Horse, all of this is a dereliction of duty on the part of the lower officials, and I hope that the horse can forgive the sins!"
Zhao Yuankai immediately took the initiative to admit his mistake, and at the same time hugged his fists and saluted, and assured Li Yi: "Please rest assured, from now on, the lower officials will carefully investigate the people in the city, and they will never let such a thing happen again within the boundaries of Puzhou." ”
"If such a thing happens again, the lower official will immediately dismiss the official and let the virtuous!"
Zhao Yuankai looked solemn, and his expression was very serious, and he looked at Li Yi quite seriously, and he couldn't give it up.
"......" Li Yi was a little surprised by Zhao Yuankai's efforts to please and perform.
Will a person who has always loved officials like his life be willing to throw away his black gauze hat?
Just kidding!
However, since Zhao Yuankai had already said it so falsely and shamelessly, Li Yi did not intend to expose it in person, but gave him a step down by the way.
"Zhao Tingshi, don't say that, this group of pirates must be lurking in the dark."
"It's going to be a lot harder to hear from them."
Li Yi smiled, and then continued to pretend to praise him, while sighing: "It's Puzhou, if it weren't for the leadership of Zhao Tingshi, how could there be today's achievements?" ”
As soon as he heard Li Yi's words, Zhao Yuankai's heart was suddenly happy.
This is the colt agreeing with himself!
That's a great thing!
But Zhao Yuankai still put on a panicked look, sneered and said modestly: "Don Ma, you are serious in what you say, the lower officials are afraid, and the lower officials are doing this, it is just a matter of eating the king's luck and being loyal to the king!" ”
"Haha!" Seeing that Zhao Yuankai was so fake, Li Yi patted Zhao Yuankai's shoulder with a smile, and then nodded meaningfully: "Zhao Tingshi, do a good job, the future is immeasurable!" ”
"Uh...... Thank you, Mulberry. Zhao Yuankai was overjoyed in his heart, nodded and smiled, "The lower officials must work hard to live up to the expectations of the saints and the horses!" ”
The deep meaning in this sentence may be thought by others to be just an ordinary word of encouragement, but for a person like Zhao Yuankai who is familiar with the routines of officialdom, it is simply like a secret promotion!
He knows that Li Yi is not only a colt now, but also a big celebrity in front of Li Shimin.
If it is Li Yi, once he says a few words to him in front of Li Shimin, won't his future officialdom immediately begin to rise steadily?
In Zhao Yuankai's heart, he was overjoyed.
"Look, donkey...... Do you want to go to the government office to rest and then set off? Zhao Yuankai asked happily.
"No need." Li Yi shook his head, then leaned close to Zhao Yuankai's ear and whispered, "You must keep my visit to Puzhou secret and not leak it." ”
Zhao Yuankai immediately nodded solemnly: "The lower officials obey the order, and they must be tight-lipped!" ”
"Well, okay, then I'll leave this group of pirates to you, I'll take my leave first." Li Yi smiled with satisfaction, and then took Yue'er and the others all the way to Dengzhou.
"Slow down." Zhao Yuankai immediately hugged his fists and sent it off.
Seeing this, the rest of the officials also sent them off.
It wasn't until the back of the carriage had turned into a small one that Zhao Yuankai immediately came back to his senses and ordered everyone happily: "All the things that the horse passed by today are all tight-lipped for me, and I can't leak any news, if there is a leak, there will be no forgiveness!" ”
"Yes, Thorn History!" Everyone nodded solemnly.
"Hmm." Zhao Yuankai nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered the officials to escort the bodies of these pirates away, and then throw them into the mass grave.
……
After leaving Puzhou, not only Lao Yang was curious, but Linlang and Yue'er were also curious.
Because they all know in their hearts what kind of person Zhao Yuankai is.
For Li Yi just now, his attitude towards Zhao Yuankai made them unpredictable.
However, they also know that for this kind of thing, since Li Yi chose to do this, then he must have a deep meaning, they just need to do their own thing.
Yue'er in the carriage, while blinking her eyes and looking at Li Yi, her head was full of doubts and impatience, and she couldn't help it at all.
If she doesn't take the initiative to fight with Li Yi now, then Li Yi will rarely eat her tofu.
So, Yue'er plucked up her courage and asked cutely: "Childe, Yue'er heard that Zhao Yuankai is a villain who tends to be inflammatory, why do you still let him do it well?" And say that he has a bright future? ”
After all, following Li Yi's side, Yue'er also knew that the meaning in this sentence would not be as simple as it sounded.
"Could it be that Gongzi wants to promote Zhao Yuankai?" Yue'er secretly guessed in her heart.
But seeing Yue'er ask like this, Li Yi couldn't help but smile, and then stretched out his left hand.
Seeing this, Yue'er immediately leaned her little head closer.
Li Yi smiled slightly, then took advantage of the situation and pinched Yue'er's little face, and then laughed out loud: "What's the matter, do you have any opinions?" ”
"Yue'er has no opinion." Yue'er shook her head, then grinned, just looked at Li Yi like this, and let Li Yi knead it.
Now Yue'er is very satisfied.
Whether you ask this sentence or not, for Yue'er, it is not critical at all, as long as she can flirt with Li Yi, it is the most important.
And now, Li Lizhi also sent Linlang over.
As for Linlang going to Dengzhou with Li Yi, what exactly she was going to do, Yue'er could think of it in her heart.
It must be an indescribable shame to happen with Li Yi!
Looking at Yue'er's stupid look, Li Yi smiled and hugged her little waist hard, and then explained: "Yue'er, you remember, sometimes, what you do on the surface may not be true, maybe ...... It's just to paralyze the opponent! ”
"Uh......" Hearing Li Yi say this, Yue'er's mind was full of doubts, she rolled her eyes and thought about it, she still couldn't understand what Li Yi meant by this, so she had to shake her head, "Childe, Yue'er doesn't understand." ”
"......" Li Yi realized that the person he was hugging was a silly girl like Yue'er.
If it's just about fighting, she's okay, just a little bit of it, but once she uses her IQ to fight wits and courage, Yue'er's IQ will drop immediately.
Yue'er is completely a silly white sweet who can only do martial arts!
"Hey, if you don't understand, forget it." Li Yi smiled awkwardly, but asked Lao Yang outside the car curtain, "Lao Yang, do you understand?" ”
"The old slave understands what Childe means." Lao Yang, who was outside the car curtain, nodded with a smile.
At this moment, Lao Yang finally understood that Li Yi's previous attitude towards Zhao Yuankai also solved the doubts in his heart.
"Sure enough, it's still Childe's courage!" Lao Yang sighed in his heart.
If Zhao Yuankai makes the corpses of those pirates public, then the matter will definitely spread to Dengzhou.
The pirates and officials in Dengzhou must be alert after hearing the news.
So, when Li Yi and the others arrived in Dengzhou, they had already been on guard, how could Li Yi secretly investigate?
Wouldn't it be in vain to make the investigation more difficult for yourself?
But Li Yi praised Zhao Yuankai, and Zhao Yuankai would mistakenly think that Li Yi was going to promote him, and Zhao Yuankai would desperately follow Li Yi's instructions and do this seriously.
In this way, the news will not come out of Puzhou, and the pirates in the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou will naturally be rampant as always, if they do not hear this rumor.
This is a great thing for Li Yi.
Yue'er in the carriage, after hearing Li Yi and Lao Yang's questions and answers, her face was suddenly full of confusion and she couldn't understand it at all, but now she didn't ask, but leaned seriously in Li Yi's arms.
Time flies.
Along the way, Li Yi and his entourage hardly encountered any major changes, nor did they meet pirates in the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou.
After a few days, Li Yi and his entourage finally resisted the boundary of Dengzhou.
"Childe, Dengzhou has arrived!" Lao Yang, outside the carriage, reminded heartily, and at the same time got out of the carriage first, and then lifted the curtain.
"Hmm." Li Yi nodded, and then took the lead in getting out of the carriage, while Yue'er followed closely behind, always following Li Yi's side.
Linlang and Jiang Yuxiang also got out of the carriage where the two of them were riding.
"Dengzhou" two bright gold characters, engraved on the stone gate tower on the boundary of Dengzhou, looks particularly domineering and mighty.
"I'm finally back!" Looking at the word 'Dengzhou', Jiang Yuxiang's face felt a special sense of long-term absence, and at the same time, he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Li Yi looked at Jiang Yuxiang and proposed, "Lady Jiang, you go back to the house first." ”
Jiang Yuxiang was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Childe, is it ...... Won't you go with the slave family to the slave's house? ”
"Nope." Li Yi shook his head with a smile, and also saw Jiang Yuxiang's worries, and said with relief, "You can rest assured, now, you just have to go home, if you don't go home, how can they take action?" ”
"But ......" Jiang Yuxiang still hesitated a little in his heart.
"Don't worry, I'll let Linlang follow you and protect your safety." Li Yi said with a smile, looked at Linlang at the same time, and said loudly, "Linlang, during this time, you will stay by Jiang Niangzi's side." ”
"......" Linlang suddenly looked aggrieved.
Blinking her eyes, she first looked at Li Yi, then at Yue'er, and proposed softly: "Childe, why don't you let Yue'er protect Jiang Niangzi, Linlang's martial arts are not as high as Yue'er." ”
"......" Li Yi was completely speechless.
Linlang's sudden change surprised Li Yi.
After all, in Li Yi's impression, Linlang has always liked to interact with him, and she hardly showed Li Yi any good face.
Today, Linlang actually dared to talk back!
And he looks aggrieved!
"That's it, don't bargain with me!" Li Yi lowered his face, his face was slightly serious.
"Yes, Childe." But seeing that Li Yi seemed to be angry, Linlang hurriedly nodded.
