Chapter 622: Two Paths

As the big shopkeeper of Heishuiyang Company, Long Sihai insisted that he must go with the sailor, go to the sea to take a look, and take a look. www.biquge.info Of course, Li Qing did not disagree, except that Li Qing expected that Qi Yu, the former barbarian nobleman and now the largest leather merchant in Dingzhou, also insisted on following. This guy who has been lame on a horse all his life has never been on a boat, let alone such a large sea ship.

Qiyu wants to go, of course, there is no problem, but it is another request made by Qiyu, or rather, a request that made Li Qing hesitate. Qiyu asked Hefu Diemo.

"Dashuai, when I entered Luofeng City and persuaded Diemo to surrender, I guaranteed that he was fine, but after the Dingzhou Rebellion subsided, Diemo sentenced him to ten years in prison to the military justice department, Dashuai, I, I feel very uncomfortable, and I can only take Diemo's family to my own house to eat and drink well, Dashuai, this time we go overseas, I beg Dashuai to give Diemo a chance, let him go with me, even if Dashuai rewarded me with a guard."

I didn't expect that Qiyu was still such a trustworthy and righteous person, Li Qing felt that he had underestimated this former barbarian nobleman, since Qiyu entered Dingzhou, he has been obedient and obedient, and has become an example for Li Qing to rule the barbarians, besides, this request is not too much, and it is not a big deal at all.

"Okay, Boss Qi, I'll give you a face this time, but remember, don't take it as an example. Diemo can go with you, but his identity will still have to stay in prison, unless he makes a big contribution to this overseas business, and if he makes a mistake, hmph, then come back and go to prison himself! Li Qingdao.

"Thank you, thank you!" Qi Yu was overjoyed and let out a long breath.

Deng Peng replied to the state, Li Qing personally saw him off, the high specifications made Deng Peng and his entourage all flattered, the general went out, Li Qing never personally sent that person out of Dingzhou City, it can be seen that Li Qing has high expectations for Deng Peng this time.

Looking at the back of Deng Peng and his entourage gradually disappearing, Li Qing secretly thought to himself, this is the first step of colonization, it is conceivable that in the near future, Heishuiyang's overseas business will definitely encounter trouble, not as smooth as at the beginning, tea, silk, porcelain and other items that are not available locally will not cause much loss to the local economy, but when a large number of other products begin to be dumped overseas, it will inevitably promote the bankruptcy of the local industry, which will cause confrontation, confrontation, and eventually develop into force. This created the best opportunity for the Dingzhou Sailor to intervene by force.

The excuse, of course, is to protect the lives and property of domestic merchants and the right to legitimate trade. A smile rose at the corner of Li Qing's mouth.

"Dashuai, go back!" Li Wu walked up to Li Qing and bowed.

Li Qing turned over and said, "Go to Taoyuan Xiaozhu!" ”

"Taoyuan Xiaozhu?" Li Wu was stunned, and saw that Li Qing had already ridden away, and dared to follow closely, and behind him, the guards spurred their horses and followed.

At the beginning of April, Qingfeng returned to Dingzhou, but Li Qing was too busy in April, and the funeral ceremony scheduled for the fifth day of April brought together all the heroes, Li Qing went to everyone who was worthy of his post, but some of the people who received the post did not dare not give Li Qing face, and some came to Dingzhou with other ideas.

After being busy for a while, Li Qing had a little leisure, Qingfeng's problem could no longer be delayed, although the action to purge her core henchmen had already begun, but if Qingfeng's strength was limited to this, Li Qing would not be so embarrassed. Qingfeng's hidden strength can't be seen or touched, but it really exists, and if this problem is not solved, it has always been a major hidden danger in Dingzhou.

At this point, Li Qingcai had to re-examine his relationship with Qingfeng, and unconsciously, Qingfeng had developed such a big force, and its influence was omnipresent, and this happened when he was alert. can't go on like this, Li Qing said to himself, he must make a choice, and Qingfeng must also make a choice.

In the small building of the peach orchard, most of the peach blossoms have gone, and you can vaguely see the rice-sized fruits hidden in the branches and leaves, but there are also some places where there are still a lot of flowers left on the trees, and the petals are fluttering with the wind.

The breeze sat among the peach blossoms sprinkled one after another, and was engrossed in playing the ancient song of the mountains and rivers. Wearing a long white dress, a pale red belt around the waist is tied to the waist, revealing the slender waist and towering breasts of the breeze, and a lot of peach blossoms have fallen on the head.

All the guards, including Li Wen and Li Dang and others, avoided from afar, and Li Qing slowly walked into the depths of the peach orchard alone in the sound of the zheng, and approached the white clothes in the peach blossom flying step by step.

A song of mountains and flowing water finally bounced to the end, Qingfeng slowly withdrew his hands, gently placed them on his lower abdomen, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and said, "General, are you here?" ”

Li Qing stood behind her, "How do you know I'm here?" ”

Qingfeng turned his head and smiled, "The sound of the sound is different, the sound of the zither is different, naturally someone is coming, who else can come to me, except for you, the general?" ”

Li Qing shook his head and walked up to her step by step, "Qingfeng, you don't know yet, Zhong Jing abolished her martial arts in order to gain Tang Hu's understanding, and Dr. Huan Xi did her best to rescue, which only made her no different from ordinary people in the future." ”

When there was a strange sound, it was the sound of Qingfeng's hand on the strings, and when he suddenly heard Li Qing's words, his fingers were buckled, and the strings were broken. The slender fingers were bleeding as well.

"I hurt her!" Qingfeng lowered his head.

"Wang Qi led his troops into the grassland ten days ago to exterminate the palace guards led by Qin Ming." Li Qing continued.

"Did he bring a special brigade of more than 200 people?" Qingfeng asked in a low voice.

"No, he asked me for 800 prisoners from the two battalions of the original defense and defense of the army, and I gave them them, and gave them the most elite equipment."

"I thank the general for Wang Qi, with more than 1,000 people, Wang Qi may be able to succeed!" Qingfeng looked up.

Li Qing's face showed a sneer, "Qingfeng, why do you want to thank me for him, Wang Qi is the general of the Statistical Survey Department, he is my general in Dingzhou, he is my subordinate, equip my subordinates with the best weapons and the best horses, let them go to win the battle for me, but suppress the thieves, it is my responsibility as a commander, but why do you want to thank me?" ”

Qing Feng showed a wry smile on his face and looked at Li Qing, "General! ”

"Qingfeng, you think they are your people, so you are very ashamed, very sorry for them, right?" Li Qing forced his gaze at the breeze. "So, do you think that the officials and merchants who are gathered around you are just your people?"

"The Statistical Survey Department, the sharp weapon of the country, has become your private belongings, and it should have fought for the great cause of my Dingzhou, but at the most critical time, it sat back and ignored, and even added fuel to the fire, just to achieve your ulterior purpose?"

"Don't tell me that you haven't done anything, you have done a lot, the Statistical Survey Department is an iron plate operated by you, and it is difficult for external forces to infiltrate, in the Statistical Survey Department, I am afraid that I only know that you are the director of Qingfeng, but I don't know that there is me as the commander of Dingzhou!" Li Qing said sharply.

"You give an order, Zhong Jing, Wang Qi, these Dingzhou generals obey one by one, under the jurisdiction of Dingzhou, all the branches of the Statistics Department are silent together, Ji Sichen, the deputy director of the Statistics Department, can actually be forced by you to drink poison, you say, what else do you dare not do?"

"Over the mountain wind, Deng Peng, Lu Dalin, these generals with heavy troops have your looming shadow there, do you think I am deaf or blind, I really don't know, I tell you the truth, every time you talk to them, every time you meet them, they will be sorted out into documents and sent to me! I just put him aside and ignored him. ”

"Qingfeng, I have always trusted you so much, you and Shang Haibo are intriguing, playing with power, you and Allure are secretly wrestling, I just don't know, because I think you will never betray me at any time, and you will never do anything that harms my interests, but the truth gave me a heavy slap in the face, which made me wake up like a dream, but the price of waking me up is too great, it is the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. Qingfeng, you tell, what do you want to do? Li Qing forced his gaze at the breeze.

Qingfeng's eyes were dripping, and he knelt down in front of Li Qing on his knees, crying: "General, I have never thought of betraying you, nor have I ever thought of damaging your foundation. ”

"Really?" Li Qing sneered, "What do you say about Shenzhou, and what do you say about the coup d'état in Dingzhou?" ”

"I'm afraid, General, because I'm afraid!" Qingfeng sat on top of the peach blossoms on the ground, his voice hoarse, and said loudly.

"Scared?" Li Qing was surprised, "What are you afraid of, is there anything else in this world that can make you afraid?" ”

"General, I'm afraid, every time I wake up in the middle of the night, I sweat profusely, the tragic past makes me unable to extricate myself, General, I thought that with you, I would usher in a new life, but the facts hit me hard, I am still me, the dirty, nameless woman who returned from the grassland, except for the general, you don't see me like this, they all see me like this, Allure, Shang Haibo, and even your Li clan, as well as my own grandfather, biological parents."

"If I don't have power, it's fine, but the power in my hands is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm getting more and more crazy about trying to wrap myself in power, and if I don't have power in my hands, if I don't have strong influence, I'm afraid that one day, I'll be beaten back to my original shape. General, you will abandon me, and everyone will abandon me! ”

Li Qing looked at Qingfeng curled up on the ground with some sadness, he never thought that Qingfeng's heart would be paranoid to such a point, "How could I abandon you, after so long, you still don't know me?" ”

Qingfeng laughed miserably: "General, even my biological parents will abandon me, and I am just a woman with an unrighteous name for you, if there is such a day, I think you will definitely make the same decision as marrying the city in the first place." ”

"You have such an idea, so you continue to manage your own forces, and continue to build the Statistical Survey Department into your private use, but also extend your power to every corner of Dingzhou, Qingfeng, I have to say, you have indeed succeeded, the power network you have created is so big, even if I want to move it, I have to cast a mouse taboo, but have you thought about it, the more you do this, the farther away you will go with me!" Li Qing was heartbroken.

"You are the first woman in my life after I came to this world, how can my feelings for you be cut off so easily, if there is another person in this world that I can't let go, it is you. I know that you are strong on the outside, but you are vulnerable on the inside, so I tolerate that you have great power, but I cannot tolerate this power to wander out of my control. ”

"You don't look like my lover now, but more like a political partner of mine!" Li Qing glared at her. "A political ally who is intrigued with each other and deceitful."

Qingfeng's tears blurred, and he shook his head again and again, "General, I don't want to be like this, and I don't want to be like this, but I don't know why, step by step, I have come to this day." ”

Li Qinghuo turned around, turned his back to Qingfeng and said: "Qingfeng, now you have two paths for you to choose, first, be my woman, a simple woman, stay away from politics and power from now on." I will protect you for the rest of my life and will never let anyone hurt you. Second, as my political partner, your intelligence is indeed amazing, and Shang Haibo is not as good as you, if you help me to step on the world, I will give you the corresponding reward, but the fate between you and me ends here. From then on, there is only a naked interest relationship. ”

After saying this, Li Qing turned around and walked out.

Behind him, there was a shout from Qingfeng, "General, don't choose, I'll be your woman." ”

Li Qing stopped, a smile appeared on his face, if Qingfeng still hesitated and needed time to think about it, then Li Qing would also have a big purge if he wanted to hurt Dingzhou's vitality. Qingfeng chose the first path without hesitation, which means that she is still in the first place in her heart.

He turned around, walked towards Qingfeng, and gently helped her up, Qingfeng cried and threw himself into his arms, "General, I will hand over all the power, hand over the Statistics and Survey Department, and I will return all the forces around me to you, from now on, there will be no white fox Qingfeng in the world, only your woman Lin Yunxi." ”

Gently patting Qingfeng's back, Li Qingdao said: "Qingfeng, no, Yunxi, from today onwards, you will restore your surname, and no one dares to say a word about it, not even your family." From today on, the peach circle building will be your home. Rest well and stay away from the things that make you miserable. ”

The wind is blowing, the branches are shaking, the petals are falling lightly, Li Qing, who is holding the breeze, closes his eyes slightly, this is the best result, the only thing I am sorry for is the innocent soldiers who died in Shenzhou, but for the stability of Dingzhou, it can only be like this.

Deep down in his heart, Li Qing faintly knew that he chose to do this, and more importantly, he was indeed inseparable from Qingfeng.
