In a carriage, the haggard Lu Xiangsheng opened his eyes angrily, staring at Li Qi who was sitting in the car and serving him, as if he wanted to swallow Li Qi in one gulp.

Li Qi knelt beside him and let him scold, but he never spoke to defend himself, but only gently persuaded Lu Xiangsheng to drink the decoction, which would be of great benefit to his wound healing.

Lu Xiangsheng has been scolding for most of the day, and he is already tired at this time, and said with a bitter face: "Li Qi, I, Lu, treat you well, why do you want to trap me in disloyalty and injustice!" What is this medicine for? It would be better for me to die now! It is also saved to bear this infamy again! ”

It was only at this time that Li Qi spoke: "Master! Do you remember when you took it in a few years ago? Do adults really know their identities? ”

Lu Xiangsheng also scolded enough, rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Didn't Liu Lao of the Jingshi recommend you, so I accepted you?" If not, how would I have kept you by my side? If I had known this, I would not have taken you in the first place! ”

Who knew that Li Qi suddenly showed a strange smile on his face: "I'm afraid my lord only knows one and doesn't know the other!" It's true that Elder Liu introduced me to serve adults, but does the adult know another identity? ”

Lu Xiangsheng was a little confused by Li Qi's words, so he stopped and continued to scold him, and he also felt that Li Qi was acting a little strange today, so he couldn't help asking: "Then what is your other identity?" ”

Li Qi smiled bitterly and then shook his head and said, "Don't mention it!" But since Li Qi follows the adult, then let the adult understand! Don't hide it from adults, another identity is the investigator of the East Factory! And it's still the general flag of Jinyiwei! ”

"Ah??? ......" Lu Xiangsheng was really a little dumbfounded after hearing this, he couldn't imagine how this honest and loyal domestic servant suddenly became a brocade guard?

After Li Qi said that, as if he had put down a heavy burden, he picked up the soup bowl again, helped Lu Xiangsheng up, and gave Lu Xiangsheng the decoction in the bowl, but Lu Xiangsheng had not recovered from the shock at this time, so he actually forgot to refuse, and opened his mouth to drink the decoction in the bowl.

Li Qi nodded with satisfaction and continued: "But I, the Jinyi Guard, is different from the other Dongchang detectives, although I am a Jinyi Guard, but I am a conscientious Jinyi Guard, and this errand is hereditary, not a core person, so this kind of drudgery of following the adults to monitor the adults can only fall on the heads of this kind of people!"

Although my father is also from Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei is not necessarily a bastard, and I also know that Jinyiwei has a bad reputation, but my father often told me when I was very young, you must have a conscience, and you can't do things with a conscience! Otherwise, if he dies, he will go to the underworld, and he will also go to the oil pot, so since he followed the adult, what the adult has done has been very admired, and it can be seen that the adult is a good official! And he is also a rare good official in this world! Therefore, in the secret report to Shangfeng, he never said half a bad word about the adult! If it is harmful to the heart of the adult, just the incident of sending a letter to Xiao Dashuai from the adult is enough to put the adult to death! How can there be adults today?

Originally, after the adults entered the guard, they could go back to the business, but after returning to the East Factory, they would not be treated, and there was no family at home, so they finally decided to stay and be an adult's servant! For this reason, the peak also rewarded twenty taels of silver, and the province will find someone to replace it! But this time I stayed, but I had already made up my mind that I shouldn't do anything! It's about following the adults in life and death from now on!

I have been with the adult for so long, how can I not know the adult's personality, this time I did this, not to trap the adult in disloyalty and injustice this time, but now the adult's loyalty has long been not valued by the current court, on the contrary, the court from top to bottom, most people are secretly harming the adult! I want to kill adults! In fact, adults are also extremely smart people, needless to say, adults can also see that in order to frame you, your lordship, they even have to give the lives of these thousands of officers and soldiers to the Tartars, what is the use of such a court lord to be loyal to him?

Do adults think that after this defeat, even if the adults go back alive, will those people let the adults go? Hum! With Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, they will never let go of adults! They will definitely put all the blame on the adult, and will deduct the adult with a thief, and in the end, even if the adult goes back, there is no way to justify, and he will definitely be arrested and even abandon the market!

That's why I didn't have talent, I and Xiao Dashuai took this idea for adults, and now in this world, there is no longer the previous Lord Lu! The previous Lord Lu had already died on the battlefield in the Battle of Julu! And the officers and soldiers who were rescued by Xiao Dashuai with the adults at the beginning have already 'seen it with their own eyes', so you are not Lu Xiangsheng Lu Jiugong now, you are just a civilian, as for what you will call in the future, it depends on the adult's own preference!

Whether the adult accepts it or not, he can't turn back now, if the adult reveals his identity, then the crime of escaping, deceiving the king and deceiving death, secretly colluding with bandits, and rebellion will be confirmed! At that time, even if you jump into the Yellow River, I am afraid it will be difficult to wash it away!

Therefore, since this is the case, the adults might as well accept this fact, take good care of the body, leave the adults with this usable body, and one day be able to do their part for our Han people, if the adults have to ask for death, then let the adults look at you! In this world, people still need a good official like you, do you really want to die like this? ”

Li Qi, who doesn't talk much on weekdays, suddenly said such a big thing, Lu Xiangsheng was a little stupid like five thunderbolts after listening to it, lying on the car and looking at the roof blankly, Li Qi suddenly said these things, which made him difficult to accept.

I think that he has been loyal to the court for so many years, and he has done his best and can even be said to be dead, but he didn't think that the court didn't trust him at all, and he had already secretly sent Li Qi, the Dongchang detective, to lurk around him and spy on him.

Think about it again, he secretly reached an agreement with Xiao Tianjian, and sent Li Qi to send a letter to Xiao Tianjian, if Li Qi was not loyal to him, just hand over his handwritten letter to Dongchang, then he would have been arrested and asked by the current holy decree, where could he be today! As soon as he thought of this, Lu Xiangsheng felt cold on his back, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

In addition, he was angry just now, he didn't want to think about many things, but it didn't mean that he didn't know, in fact, many things Li Qi said, he could see more clearly than anyone else, but all along, he didn't want to think about it, but after Li Qi said it today, he couldn't help but think about it carefully, these words are real things, and this Ming court is indeed completely rotten.

Today's saint can't say that he is not diligent in government, but it is precisely because his character is too suspicious and too rigid, so that he uses people inappropriately, favoring people like Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, which makes the situation worse day by day. In addition, he also secretly visited the control area of Jinnan of the Xingtian Army once, and he could also see that this Xiao Tianjian knew more about compassion for the people than today's saints, but as an orthodox court, there were all some corpses and vegetarian meals, city fox society rats, who only knew how to exploit the people, and did not care about the lives of the people, no wonder the Xingtian Army would grow stronger and stronger, and the people were naturally willing to follow the Xingtian Army in order to survive, and if it went on like this, the Ming Dynasty would really be over.

Lu Xiangsheng closed his eyes in pain, and all kinds of thoughts kept fighting in his mind, making him feel a headache, and he couldn't make any decisions for a while, after all, he was a loyal minister, and suddenly let him defect to the Xingtian Army as a thief, such a gap was too big.

Li Qi looked at Lu Xiangsheng with his eyes closed, with a painful look on his face, and he could guess that he was at this time when heaven and man were at war, what choice Lu Xiangsheng would make, it was up to him, what he should say and do, he had already said and done, if Lu Xiangsheng still couldn't think about it, then he had no choice, so he got out of the car, handed the bowl to a medical soldier of the Xingtian Army who was standing not far from the car, nodded and thanked him, and then turned around and sat on the wheel.

And around them, are countless people who were snatched back from the Tartars by the Xingtian Army, at this time they have already passed Wu'an, and then they should enter the Zhangde Mansion, and this time Xiao Tianjian ordered Diao Zheng to escort these tens of thousands of people to Henan, and happened to hand over Lu Xiangsheng to him, let Li Qi protect Lu Xiangsheng to temporarily return to Luoyang for secret settlement, Lu Xiangsheng woke up halfway, and after asking about the current situation, he was furious and scolded Li Qi in the car, and because of Lu Xiangsheng's special identity, Diao Zheng specially sent twenty elite soldiers to protect them, so although Lu Xiangsheng scolded badly, not too many people would hear his voice.

After resting for a while, the team began to set off again, now these ordinary people are better than when they were caught by the Tartars some time ago, they are very kind to them, although it is very hard to stare at the cold wind on a cold day, but the Xingtian Army gives them two full meals a day, and also puts on all kinds of clothes captured by the Tartars so that they will not be frozen, although the tents are not enough at night, the soldiers of the Xingtian Army would rather be frozen in the field, also gave most of the tents to the women among the people to live in, and never harmed the women, which made these people very grateful, so very few people along the way were willing to flee from the team, and the more they walked, the more they strengthened their ideas, everything they said in this life has been done with the Xingtian Army, and the Xingtian Army is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and I don't know how strong it is compared to the imperial court!

So along the way, not only did the team not decrease, but there were also many refugees who met them and fled south, and they also joined them, and followed them in the direction of Henan, and the number of the team has grown from the initial 70,000 to 100,000, and it is expanding every day.

As the car started again, Lu Xiangsheng always lay silently in the car, and never spoke again, and Li Qi didn't bother him, just let him think quietly, until the evening, Lu Xiangsheng coughed in the car and shouted: "Li Qi!" Come in! ”
