At the same time that Xiao Qu was sick and returned to Xiao's house, the Sixteen Princes' Mansion and Baisun Courtyard were in a super luxurious prison built by Li Longji for his son and grandson.

Li Li, the king of Jianning, who had not yet arrived at the age of seventeen, met his eldest brother, Li Li, the twenty-five-year-old king of Guangping, after more than ten days of separation.

Among all the brothers of Li Qi, it is the closest to the eldest brother Li Li, the king of Guangping, the two grew up together, this time just returned to Chang'an, heard that the eldest brother came to find, and immediately rode to the Guangping palace of Baisun Courtyard.

"Third brother, it's scared to death Big brother, come over and let me see! I heard that you were seriously injured on this expedition and almost died at the hands of traitors? ”

Li Jiao nervously pulled this younger brother who was closest to him and was also the most promising, looked up and down, and asked with concern.

"Let the eldest brother worry, look, isn't Xiao Qi all right?" Li Qi spared his head a little shyly.

"Is there a mistake in the military situation?" Li Jiao's eyes widened.

"Nope." Li Qi smiled: "This time, Xiao Qi was indeed almost killed by the snake-toothed traitor, and it was the master who saved me." ”

"Then you're not hurt?"

Li Qi shook his head: "At that time, I was hit by more than a dozen arrows in my body, bleeding non-stop, and I was seriously injured and passed out, and it was the master who cured me." ”

"There is such a thing!" Li Jiao's eyes widened, and his voice raised a few degrees: "Your master is really an immortal disciple!" ”

Li Li is eight and a half years older than Li Qi, it can be said that he has watched Li Qi grow up, he knows that Li Qi will not lie to himself, and what he said is too unbelievable.

He was hit by more than a dozen arrows in his body, and he fainted with more than bleeding. If you change to someone else. It may not be good to raise it for half a year. But Li Qi not only recovered quickly. is still full of red light, full of energy, where is the slightest bit like a serious injury just recovering from a serious injury.

"Yes, Master is an immortal disciple." Li Qi smiled and said, "By the way, how is Daddy?" ”

It is also pitiful to say, after Li Longji became the emperor, he first set up five guards in the palace. Getting along with his own brother is a lot, although it is extravagant, but it is also equivalent to house arrest in disguise.

Later, Li Longji's own son grew up, and he set up ten princes' mansions to live in a centralized manner, ordered eunuchs to supervise, and they were not allowed to move around at will on weekdays, which was equivalent to being locked up, and then there were more and more sons, and the ten kings' mansions became sixteen kings' mansions.

Although these princes lived a daily life of drinking, writing poems, hitting balls and fighting cocks. Alcoholic beauty, drunk life and dreaming of death. Some princes, such as the fourth son, Li Yan, the king of Li. He had fifty-five sons, and his sixth son, Li Wan, the king of Rong, had fifty-eight children.

In fact, it is a group of pigs that have been kept in captivity, and in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, they are sleeping with women and giving birth.

The other princes were still so guarded and fearful, let alone this prince who had an orthodox status and was waiting to succeed him. Li Heng did not live in the East Palace like the princes of other dynasties, but lived in the palace courtyard where Li Longji went out, and was also monitored by eunuchs.

Even Li Jiao and Li Qi, Li Heng's own sons, it is difficult to see the prince on weekdays.

"Daddy, it's business as usual." Li Li sighed and said, "It's that your master Liang Guogong's situation is very bad. ”

"Oh?" Li Qi was surprised: "Big brother, tell me about it." ”

"This time, Liang Guogong killed a river of blood in Youzhou and Dangxiang Baqiang, and the Dangxiang Qiang envoys Tuoba Chaoguang and Youzhou Zahu have been moving around these days, stringing together. The emperor's grandfather also intends to take this opportunity to suppress Liang Guogong. ”

Li Li looked around, leaned over to Li Qi and whispered: "In addition, I heard Cui's say that because Mrs. Qiu Guo was angry with Liang Guogong for holding the custody of the loot, as well as the minting of gold and silver coins, she intended to take care of Liang Guogong in this matter." ”

Li Qi's brows furrowed, Cui's was none other than his sister-in-law, the concubine of Li Jiao, the king of Guangping. Cui's aunt is Yang Guifei's eldest sister Mrs. Han, and Mrs. Qiuguo is Cui's third aunt, so there will be no fake news if you think about it.

"How did my sister-in-law know about this news? How is Mrs. Qiu Guo going to handle the master? ”

Li Jiao said: "The Cui family went to ask Mrs. Han for peace, and it happened that Mrs. Yu Guo was also there." Mrs. Na Guo has always been flamboyant, and she discussed with Mrs. Han how to make a fortune by minting private money, and was overheard by the Choi family.

Mrs. Yu Guo was ready to call Liang Guogong to her mansion and put pressure on Liang Guogong to divide some of the duties of keeping gold and silver and minting new coins to Yang Guozhong if Liang Guogong was interested.

The three of them took Liang Guogong in this matter and said good things for him in front of the emperor's grandfather; On the contrary, he spoke ill of Liang Guogong to His Majesty to make him look good. ”

"These insatiable poisonous snakes, no good things have been wasted on Master, and they have not forgotten their share. They also have a share of the profits of the Four Seas Trading Company. Not only do they have nothing in return, but now they are taking advantage of others. ”

Li Qi sneered: "What do they think of Master!" Master's dignified man, a great hero who stands up to the heavens and the earth, how can he be coerced by a woman! ”

Li Jiao said anxiously: "You said that the Liang Guo Guild is unwilling to give in? ”

"I think with Master's character, I won't be ......"

Before Li Qi's words were finished, someone suddenly walked in outside and shouted from afar: "Is the third brother here?" ”

Li Qi frowned, and stopped talking for a moment, the person who came was his sister-in-law, Mrs. Han's daughter Cui Shi.

"I've seen my sister-in-law!" After the Cui family came in, Li Qi hurriedly saluted respectfully, but he felt indescribably awkward in his heart.

This sister-in-law was forced by Mrs. Han and Mrs. Qiu Guo to marry her eldest brother, although she looks okay, but her temper is really bad and she is jealous.

If this is just that, this Cui family is even more dependent on the power of his mother's Wuyang, flying and domineering everywhere, and he has to overpower the eldest brother in everything, and the two often quarrel over this.

On the other hand, the Yang family is powerful, suppressing and bullying the prince's father everywhere, and the two sides have become inseparable. Li Qi once heard Li Heng secretly say that when he ascended the throne, he would definitely exterminate Li Linfu's family, Wang Jie's family, and the Yang family.

Naturally, Li Qi did not have any respect for this sister-in-law, but the Yang family was so powerful that Li Qi did not dare to treat her badly.

Cui's was also very surprised to see Li Qi's radiant expression: "Third brother, aren't you injured?" ”

"A little injury, there is Sister-in-law Lao to worry about." As he spoke, Li Qi took out a golden hairpin from the sleeve of his clothes, and there were large, two, and three rubies on the golden hairpin's steps, the largest one the size of a thumb nail.

"Sister-in-law, this is the jewelry seized by Xiao Qi in the snake tooth lair, Xiao Qi has not married and does not need it, please don't dislike it."

Cui Shi smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and he took it in his hand and played with it carefully.

Li Qi saluted again and said respectfully: "Brother, sister-in-law, I still want to continue practicing, so I will leave first." ”

After Li Qi turned around and left, Cui Shi came to Li Li with a smile and said, "Da Lang, do you think I look good wearing this?" ”

The smile on Li Li's face disappeared suddenly, and he looked at the direction of Li Li's departure from a distance, and sighed slightly, with envy and jealousy in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
