Li Yan smiled and beckoned, called a little boy, and said, "Oh, it's this little baby who came to inform me in the middle of the night." ”

Ji Qingwen looked fixedly, it was the little boy who was less than ten years old in the shopkeeper of the Sifang Inn, but he didn't expect that when he encountered such a major event as Zhang Xianzhong coming to rob, he would be able to run to move the rescuers without fear of danger and without panic - this kind of insight and courage, not to mention compared with other children, is much higher than Ji Qingwen and Duo Jiugong.

So Ji Qingwen touched the little boy's head with a smile and said, "It turned out to be the shopkeeper's nephew, amazing, amazing, really a young hero." What is your name? I know, so I can send some money and food to your parents to repay you for saving your life. ”

Hearing Ji Qingwen say this, the clever and intelligent look in the little boy's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he was speechless.

The innkeeper hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Guest officer, my nephew is a poor man, and his parents are long gone, so he helped change food in my small shop." His surname is Li like me, and his name is my brother's name, which is Dingguo. ”

"Li Dingguo?" Ji Qingwen was stunned when he heard this name, and vaguely remembered that Li Dingguo was the first good general in the late Ming Dynasty, who turned the tide when the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty was in jeopardy, and the two famous kings, so that the world was shaken, and he was an unborn talent.

"It's a pity that I'm still too young now......" Ji Qingwen thought of this, and couldn't help but muttered to himself.

The shopkeeper was facing Ji Qingwen, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What 'too young'?" What does Young Master Ji mean by this? ”

Ji Qingwen coughed lightly, thought for a while and said: "Oh, that's the case, I think that although Li Dingguo is young, he is also a material that can be made, I think if I can take him out of here, go to Beijing, go back to Xi'an, invite famous teachers to advise, and cultivate him into a great talent." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face was happy at first, and then worried, and said, "Young Master Ji's kindness, I thank my dead brother and sister-in-law." However, there are still people in my family, if the young master is allowed to leave with Dingguo like this, some people will inevitably say that the villain is not sympathetic to family affection......"

The shopkeeper's words were indeed reasonable, so that Ji Qingwen couldn't refute it after hearing it, and felt a little disappointed.

Li Yan interjected with a smile: "Ji Gongzi is also a good intention, I have met Li Dingguo a few times, and he is indeed a smart child." However, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, this kind of thing cannot be rushed...... Well, it's not early in the morning, and it's really unlivable. If Ji Gongzi doesn't give up, are you willing to follow me into Mokou Town for the night? ”

Ji Qingwen was frightened, and he really didn't want to continue to live in Xiwan Village, so he nodded and agreed, and instructed Duo Jiugong and Xing'er to pack up their luggage and horses and vehicles, and follow Li Yan to Mokou Town.

Along the way, Ji Qingwen talked to Li Yan for a few words, and finally knew that this Li Yan was the rumored son of Li Jingbai. His Li family is a famous family here, and more than half of the land outside the town belongs to his family, and even these sturdy men he brought tonight are all village warrior group training organized by the Li family.

Therefore, since Li Yan led the people over, the city gate guards had no reason to continue to close the city gate, and hurriedly opened the door to welcome Li Yan and others into the town, and did not forget to ask: "Is my brother-in-law okay?" ”

Only then did Ji Qingwen remember that the guard at the city gate who had turned him away before was a relative of the shopkeeper of the Sifang Inn, so naturally he was also a relative of Li Dingguo - it was no wonder that Li Dingguo, a child, was able to enter the town in the middle of the night to report the news.

Because it was the middle of the night, it was dark in the town, and Ji Qingwen relied on the dim light emitted by the stars and the moon in the sky, and he could only see that this town was built on the mountain and was quite large.

Under the leadership of Li Yan, Ji Qingwen and his entourage walked through the entire town, and finally stopped in front of a large mansion with two stone lions more than five feet high sitting in front of the gate.

Li Yan arched his hand towards Ji Qingwen and said, "This is the Humble House, if Ji Gongzi doesn't dislike it, why don't you just be wronged in the Humble House for a night?" ”

Being able to spend the night at the house of the former secretary of the military department and the second rank of the senior officer can be regarded as an adventure, of course Ji Qingwen did not refuse, a little humble and polite, and followed Li Yan into the door.

As soon as he entered the gate of the Li Mansion, Li Yan instructed a few family members who had been waiting for a long time to take care of Ji Qingwen's horses and vehicles, and then packed up the guest rooms in the mansion for a few distinguished guests to live in. After Li Yan made the arrangements, he personally led Ji Qingwen and his party to the depths of the Li Mansion.

This mansion is very large, I don't know how much bigger than the Ji family's mansion in Xi'an City, so Ji Qingwen followed Li Yan for a long time, and then stopped, raised his eyes and saw that several subordinates had been ordered to clean up the three guest rooms, so he thanked Li Yan again and stayed in these rooms.

After this thrilling turmoil tonight, Ji Qingwen was already exhausted, the back of his head just touched the pillow, and he fell asleep as soon as his eyes closed.

I don't know how long I slept, Ji Qingwen heard a knock on the door of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" in his ears, he hadn't woken up yet, his brain was a little confused, and after listening to these few knocks that were not in a hurry, he was actually a little nervous, and hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Someone outside the door replied, "Young Master, it's me, Xing'er." ”

Ji Qingwen listened to it and ordered: "Oh, it's Xing'er, come in." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was gently pushed open from the outside, and I saw Xing'er slowly walking in with a basin of warm water, putting the basin on the table, rubbing a towel again, and sending it to Ji Qingwen's bedside, and said softly: "Young master, it's time to get up, Xing'er is waiting for you......"

After the double stimulation brought by last night's melon breaking and attack, Xing'er's round face was full of anxiety and nervousness, showing a different kind of shyness.

When Ji Qingwen saw it, he stuck out his tongue, smiled evilly, and asked, "You want to wait for me?" Then let me ask you, what are you going to do? ”

As he spoke, Ji Qingwen grabbed Xing'er's wrist with one hand and dragged her down on the bed, and the other hand reached through her collar, restless.

Xing'er's face immediately turned red as if she was about to drip blood, and quickly lowered her voice and said, "Young master, young master, it's dawn, don't do ......"

Ji Qingwen was still unsatisfied, and laughed: "What's the matter when it's dawn?" What should I not do? ”

Xing'er's eyebrows were twisted like a dead knot of hemp rope, and she said coquettishly: "Young master, don't, Gongzi Li is waiting for you to get up outside!" ”

After hearing this, Ji Qingwen remembered that he was now staying in the mansion of Li Jingbai, the secretary of the former military department, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand from Xing'er's arms and asked in a low voice, "You said that Li Gongzi was waiting outside the door?" ”

Apricot frowned and nodded.

Ji Qingwen coughed lightly twice, immediately changed his serious face, raised his voice and said, "What time is it now, you serve me to get up, I still have to go to see Li Gongzi." ”

As he spoke, Ji Qingwen hurriedly jumped off the bed, dressed and freshened up, and then came out of the door that Xing'er had not had time to cover just now, and sure enough, he saw Li Yan standing in the small courtyard in front of the house waiting for Ji Qingwen.

Now is the time of the Chen brand, the sun is bright, so that Ji Qingwen can take a good look at this Shangshu son Li Yan in other people's mouths - I saw that Li Yan was also in his twenties, wearing a lake-blue Shu brocade robe, a Confucian scarf tied on his head, shaking a Xiangfei bamboo fan in his hand, his face had not yet continued his beard, and his facial features were very delicate - the standard was a beautiful son.

In comparison, Ji Qingwen himself is just a son of a businessman's family, and he looks very ordinary, and he was suddenly a little overshadowed in front of Li Yan, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I am a guest below, I should have come to visit first, and now I actually labor Li Gongzi to come first, it is really rude." ”

Li Yan unfolded the folding fan, covered his mouth and said, "Oh? It turns out that Ji Gongzi is coming to visit me? I don't know what kind of visit method it is? As he spoke, he burst out laughing.

Only then did Ji Qingwen know that the few words he had just laughed with Xing'er were heard by Li Yan, and his face suddenly felt embarrassed, and he said, "It's rude, it's rude." ”

Li Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The saints all say 'food, sex, and sex', how can there be any rudeness?" However, all the maids under Ji Gongzi are so standard, but they are enviable. ”
