Chapter 378: Dengzhou Jiang Yuxiang
At this moment, Li Yi is in the drunken immortal building, enjoying food comfortably, and at the same time, listening to people talk about some of the joys and stories of weekdays.
As for someone wanting to kill him, Li Yi didn't know it, but Li Yi also knew in his heart that he must have offended many people this time.
After all, this time, Li Shimin's sudden big move of "killing chickens and scaring monkeys" has already violated the interests of many families.
What's more, Datang Academy is still in preparation.
Once the Datang Academy is built, then the private school academy of the big family will be greatly affected.
Although the influence of the family is indeed extraordinary, but the entire Tang Kingdom is Li Shimin's world, and the establishment of the Tang Academy will inevitably become more influential.
This kind of action to win the hearts of the people, they dare not continue to fight against Li Shimin, and the object of choice will naturally become Li Yi.
Blatantly engaging in Li Yi's affairs, according to the current situation, the chance should be very small, but the chance of secretly harming him is very high.
"Hey, there are a lot of people who are popular!" Li Yi sighed helplessly.
Li Shimin's actions were very good for him to buy people's hearts, but for Li Yi, it made him unconsciously carry a black pot for Li Shimin.
"Let's go, Yue'er, let's go back." Li Yi got up with a pot of wine, called Yue'er, and then went home together.
In the current situation, Li Yi felt that it was safer to stay in the mansion, and he couldn't be unguarded, so he had to go back and get a self-defense weapon quickly.
For his martial arts, Li Yi is still very self-aware.
If there is a master of the Grandmaster and wants to kill him in secret, he is not the opponent of the other party's move at all.
After returning home, Li Yi immediately found someone and began to make a sleeve arrow.
This kind of hidden weapon arrow is installed in the barrel, with a spring inside, a press of the machine, the arrow is issued, the barrel is six inches long, and the arrow is four inches and six minutes long.
Simply hide the needle in the cuff and trigger the trap to fire, which is easy to use and easy to operate, and can be completed without special training.
Three days passed quickly.
Finally, after Li Yi went to the palace and asked the royal blacksmith in the palace for help, Li Yi finally shot a sleeve arrow.
Its power, Li Yi has already tried it personally, it is completely not to be underestimated, it is enough to kill with one blow.
"With this thing for self-defense, I finally feel much safer." Li Yi's heart, which had always been worried, fell to the ground now.
The three-day period has arrived, and Li Yi also asked Yue'er to investigate the identity of the pothos.
The pothos is a boudoir girl from a big family in the sea area of Dengzhou and Laizhou, formerly known as Jiang Yuxiang, who escaped marriage and came to Chang'an.
And the reason why she ran away from marriage made Li Yi cry and laugh.
"Is that true?" Li Yi looked at Yue'er and couldn't help but want to laugh, and he also felt a little sympathy for the pothos.
"Hmm." Yue'er nodded seriously, "That's true, Childe, if it weren't for the pirates in the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou who took a fancy to her, she would not have fled from the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou to Chang'an." ”
"Dengzhou and Laizhou sea areas, aren't there people from the government?" Li Yi was a little puzzled.
After all, according to Li Yi's understanding, the strength of the Tang Kingdom is still very strong, and logically speaking, it is impossible to defeat even a group of pirates, right?
Can't even protect a weak woman?
Did the government soldiers in the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou go to eat?
This is a strange thing.
Originally, according to the historical trajectory, it was probably around April, Li Shimin would send Du Gou to the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou to suppress bandits, give him a chance to make meritorious contributions and restore his official title.
But now it seems that this group of pirates in the waters of Dengzhou and Laizhou is very rampant!
Li Yi knew that the opportunity for Du Gou's salted fish to turn over had come.
Although Du Wei did make a big mistake before, and Li Shimin also asked him to take the initiative to dismiss the official and did not continue to pursue it, Li Yi knew that Du Ruhui must be very sad now in his heart.
After all, Du Gou is the son of his Du family, and he is the eldest son of his Du Mansion, once Du Gou is dismissed, then Du Ruhui will definitely be criticized.
Thinking of this, Li Yi decided to go to the green pothos first to ask about the situation, and then go to the palace and take the initiative to propose to Li Shimin.
"Yue'er, let's go, let's go to the Drunken Immortal Tower." Li Yi put away the sleeve arrow, hid it in his sleeve, and then took Yue'er to the Drunken Immortal Building together.
……
Three days have passed, and the old man on Shili Street in Dongfeng Pavilion went out to look for it in person, but he didn't find Ye Yu's figure.
He already knew in his heart that he was afraid that his cheap apprentice, Ye Yu, would definitely have an accident now.
It's not easy to cultivate a master, the old man can't just let him disappear out of thin air, he must be recovered.
And Li Yi is the breakthrough point for him to find Ye Yu.
Li Yi, who went to the Drunken Immortal Tower, didn't know at the moment that he had just waited for his front foot to leave the mansion, and he was already being secretly watched.
"Hurry back and report to the elders, Li Bo'an, this stinky boy, is finally going out today!" A man, somewhat annoyed, ordered the other person beside him.
In the past three days, they have been secretly monitoring day and night, and they have been hiding near the Guogong Mansion, but Li Yi has not gone out for the past three days.
From day to night, and then from night to day, after three days, his eyes had become completely red, and they had become a pair of scarlet panda eyes.
"Yes." The other man nodded in reply with red eyes, and his face was full of annoyance.
While going back to report to the elders, the man gritted his teeth and scolded: "Li Bo'an, this guy, Zhente Niang is not a person, isn't he an official of the imperial court?" Wouldn't Li Shimin care about him if he didn't go to court? This dog thing! ”
Li Yi didn't go out for the past three days, but it hurt the two of them.
Now, after finally waiting for Li Yi, he was finally reluctant to go out, and the man immediately turned around and went back to report.
Li Yi didn't know all this.
Come to the Drunken Immortal Building.
Today, there was no sound of women playing the piano, Li Yi glanced at the shopkeeper, and immediately ordered: "Let the green pothos girl come to see me." ”
"Uh...... Yes, Childe. Although the shopkeeper was very puzzled, he quickly carried out Li Yi's orders.
Inside the Tianzi No. 1 room.
Not long time passed, and the pothos came to the room accompanied by the shopkeeper.
After the shopkeeper served the wine and food, he quickly retreated.
In the house, only Li Yi and the others remained.
"Childe." When Luluo saw Li Yi, she immediately smiled with anticipation, and at the same time bowed.
"Sit down." Li Yi smiled and nodded.
"Uh...... Yes, thank you, Childe. The sudden change in Li Yi's expression made Lu Luo curious.
After all, every time before, Li Yi's face was a little impatient, but today's change had to make Lu Luo's heart weird.
Li Yi was not tactful, but asked directly: "Green pothos girl, can I ask you a few questions?" ”
"Childe, if the pothos knows in his heart, he will definitely answer everything." Pothos smiled and nodded.
"Okay." Li Yi took a sip of wine, put down the wine cup, and then asked, "Miss Luthos, are you from Dengzhou?" ”
"Well, yes." Pothos smiled and nodded.
As for her identity, Green Pothos knew in her heart that sooner or later she would not be able to hide it, so she did not veto, but answered decisively.
"Can you tell me why you came to Chang'an?" Li Yi didn't mention her escape from marriage, but asked in a different way.
After all, this is still a bit impolite for pothos, and Li Yi didn't take the liberty to ask.
Seeing this, Luluo took a deep breath and said with relief: "Childe, the slave's real name is Jiang Yuxiang. ”
"I know." Li Yi smiled and nodded.
"Hmm." Lu Pothos nodded, and then continued: "The slave family was originally from the Jiang family in Dengzhou, but since Dengzhou this time, pirates have been rampant, and they have attacked Dengzhou from time to time and harassed the people of Dengzhou. ”
"Later, I don't know where the pirates got the news, saying that they fell in love with the slave family, as long as the people in the slave family sent the slave family to the pirate marriage, the pirates would no longer harass the people of Dengzhou."
"But Daddy hated it, and the slave family also hated that group of pirates, so Daddy went to the government for help, but the people in the government said that they couldn't help it."
"Later, my father had no choice but to send someone to secretly send the slave family out of Dengzhou and to Chang'an City."
"But ......" Speaking of this, the pothos seemed to remember the sad thing, and her expression was gloomy.
"The people who escorted the slave family to Chang'an City were all killed by pirates, and the slave family was also lucky, and after escaping to Chang'an City, they were saved by the shopkeeper of Dingyunfang, so they could survive."
After saying this, there was a helpless expression on the face of the pothos.
When Li Yi heard this, his face suddenly became solemn.
"Then you haven't thought about it, report to the official?" Li Yi looked at the pothos.
"The slave family has also thought about it." Lu Luo's expression was very gloomy, "But the slave family knows that once the slave family goes to Yongzhou Mansion to report to the official, once the group of pirates learns the news, their father and they will definitely die, so the slave family does not dare to report to the official." ”
"So, you changed the name of the pothos and played the piano in Chang'an City?" Li Yi asked.
"Hmm." Green Pothos nodded seriously, "The slave family did this for safety reasons. ”
"Because the slave family knows that once the slave master knows that there is a master of piano skills in Chang'an City, the master will definitely be tempted to go down the mountain."
"When the time comes, the pothos can beg the master and let the master come forward to avenge the slave family."
The pothos smiled helplessly.
Because apart from this stupid method, she really couldn't think of any other way to relieve the danger of the pirates in Dengzhou.
After listening to Luluo's words, Li Yi suddenly felt in his heart that Luluo was a woman with commendable courage, and at the same time, she was indeed a little pitiful.
And the officers and soldiers of Dengzhou Mansion are even more hateful!
Not only did they fail to protect the people, but they even tried to force women of good families to marry pirates who did all kinds of evil in order to stabilize the situation for a while.
This kind of official people are basically no different from the dogs of the common people.
Before, Li Yi asked Yue'er to investigate, so there will be basically no fake in the words of green pothos.
"Don't worry." Li Yi took a deep breath, looked at the green pothos, and said, "I will personally enter the palace to report to the saint about this matter, and then send troops to exterminate the pirates." ”
"As for you, you still need to do something with me so that you can deceive the pirates so that we can take advantage of the opportunity to catch them all."
"Hmm." The green pothos immediately nodded, then got up and saluted solemnly, "The slave family thanks Gongzi, if Gongzi can exterminate the pirates and solve the danger of Dengzhou, the slave family is willing...... Stay by Childe's side for the rest of your life and be a maid to take care of Childe. ”
Jiang Yuxiang also knew something about Li Yi's ability, and after arriving in Chang'an City, she inquired, and the legend of Li Yi was spread everywhere.
In the past few days, the complete collapse of the Wang clan has made Jiang Yuxiang even more admired.
Therefore, Jiang Yuxiang decided in her heart that once Li Yi helped her, she would promise her.
"Ahem, don't do this, Miss Jiang." Li Yi hurriedly waved his hand and declined, "These are all things that officials should do, you don't have to thank you like this." ”
Promising each other at every turn, for Li Yi, this is really hurtful.
Seeing Li Yi's refusal, Jiang Yuxiang was not angry in her heart, but was happy to cover her mouth and smile, showing the posture of a loli woman on her body very vividly.
It seems that the scars are particularly tempting.
But fortunately, Li Yi is neither a dead Lolicon, nor the kind of person who loves one, so he doesn't eat her.
After understanding the details of the matter, Li Yi didn't continue to stay in the Drunken Immortal Tower, got up and ordered: "Miss Jiang, during this time, you should be in the Drunken Immortal Mansion first, and after I report to the saint, I will let someone pick you up." ”
"Well, thank you, Childe." Jiang Yuxiang smiled and nodded, watching Li Yi leave.
Li Yi, who came out of the Drunken Immortal Building, took Yue'er and entered the palace together.
Just walking, Li Yi suddenly had an illusion in his heart, as if behind him, someone was following him all the way.
