The effect of perfume is very good, not only is it fragrant and refreshing, but it also lasts for a long time, far from being comparable to aromatherapy.

Except for the two bottles that he kept for himself, the other ten bottles were given away by Li Yizhi.

Seven of the bottles were dedicated to Yang Guang, and Yu Shiji, Pei Yun, and Dugusheng also gave one bottle each.

On the day of the perfume, Li Yizhi received a reward from the Jiangdu Palace, Yang Guanglong Yan Dayue, and directly rewarded him with a thousand taels of gold and a hundred horses of high-grade Shu embroidery.

At the same time, Li Yizhi also received news about Wei Chisheng.

Wei Chisheng led an army of 50,000 Yangzhou and had already set up camp in Quanjiao County, and did not continue to march westward and have no intention of fighting Du Fuwei. He sent a herald to ask Li Yizhi to speed up the preparation of grain and grass, and he must transport 50,000 stone of grain within half a month.

"Taishou, are you looking at the grain and grass?"

Xue Zhen looked at Li Yizhi worriedly, because of the wording of Wei Chisheng's warrant, he was very polite.

Li Yizhi just smiled faintly and said, "It's a big deal, since he wants 50,000 stones, then give him 50,000 stones." ”

Xue Zhen was puzzled, feeling that this was not Li Yizhi's character, so he hesitated and came up with a bad idea: "Taishou, do you want to mix sand in the grain, or use moldy grain from previous years?" ”

Li Yizhi's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly: "Do you want your official's head to fall to the ground, once the army riots, who will be responsible?" ”

Xue Zhen was cold, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "The lower official should die, the lower official should die." ”

"Okay, do things seriously in the future, don't think of some crooked ways."

Li Yizhi waved his hand and said, "Also, today I am going to visit my friends, go to Hou Xibai's amorous villa to live for a few days, and learn painting skills. I really can't make up my mind, so I'll talk about it when the official returns. ”

"Yes, Taishou!"

Xue Zhen hurriedly agreed.

…………

Out of the Taishou Mansion, Li Yizhi took a carriage and came to the amorous villa in the south of the city.

The environment of the amorous mountain villa is elegant, and the winding paths are secluded.

Blooming flowers can be seen everywhere, and bursts of fragrance come to the nose.

Hou Xibai held a folding fan in his hand and said with a hearty smile: "Brother Li's arrival is really brilliant. ”

Li Yizhi smiled and said, "Brother Hou, I came this time, but I came to your Baimei Hall." ”

Hou Xibai is good at drawing beautiful pictures, every time he meets a beauty, he will draw a picture, and gather all the beauty pictures together, called Baimeitang.

"Haha, I didn't expect Brother Li to be a fellow traveler, please here."

Hou Xibai smiled, and then led Li Yizhi to a hall.

The interior of this Baimei Hall is extremely empty, only the pictures of beauties are hanging, the windows around are open, a gust of wind blows, and the painting paper flutters, like a beautiful woman dancing lightly.

Hou Xibai said proudly: "Brother Li, please see, since I completed my painting skills, I have made a total of thirty-six beautiful pictures, which is still far from the number of 100 beauties." My ideal is to include the portraits of beauties in the world, so those who can enter my beauty picture are all people who are fragrant and beautiful. ”

Li Yizhi casually admired a picture of a beauty, this is a girl dressed as Miao, holding water with both hands by the stream, with an innocent smile on her face, bright eyes, pure as water.

After admiring more than a dozen pictures of beauties in a row, Li Yizhi wondered: "Brother Hou, why are most of the beauties on you from ethnic minorities?" ”

"That's right, I have lived in Chengdu since I was a child, and these beauties are all made by me before, and you also know that there are many ethnic minorities in Shudi, so the beauties I make are mostly beauties of ethnic minorities."

Hou Xibai explained, and then said with a look of regret: "It is rumored that Shi Qingxuan, a strange woman who is famous all over the world for her Xiao art, also lives in seclusion near Chengdu, but unfortunately, she has not been able to find it. ”

Li Yizhi couldn't help but chuckle, I'm afraid that Hou Xibai doesn't know now that Shi Qingxuan is the daughter of his master Shi Zhixuan, otherwise how dare Hou Xibai dare to look around.

Next, Li Yizhi continued to admire the beauty picture, and saw the portrait of Fan Caiqi in it, the daughter of Fan Zhuo, the leader of the Sichuan Gang, and Hou Xibai were a little entangled.

These thirty-six pictures of beauties should be Fan Caiqi's first.

It's just that Li Yizhi doesn't have the heart to gossip with Hou Xibai now.

Therefore, after admiring the picture of the perfect person, he said the purpose of the trip, and said: "Brother Hou, in fact, in addition to Baimeitang, I came this time, and there is one more thing that needs Brother Hou's help." ”

Hou Xibai didn't look surprised, he waved his hand and said, "Brother Li's words are polite, if you need help, please feel free to say it." ”

"That's right, I need to deal with some things secretly, so I want Brother Hou to help me cover up." Li Yizhi said.

He wanted to assassinate Wei Chisheng in person, so naturally he couldn't go openly, and at the same time, he had to create alibi evidence, so as not to associate Yu Wenhua and others, so he came to the Amorous Villa in the name of learning painting skills.

Hou Xibai didn't ask much why, he nodded directly and said, "Little thing, when will Brother Li leave?" ”

Li Yizhi said: "Time is relatively tight, I'll leave later." When I come back, I'll have a good time with my brother. ”

"Good. Come with me, you leave through the back door, where it is hidden. ”

…………

It is said that after leaving Yangzhou, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were like wild horses off the leash, spreading joy everywhere.

The two traveled all the way west, stopping and stopping, and came to the territory of Liyang, preparing to cross the river to Danyang.

Early in the morning, the two of them passed by a small village and were about to enter the village to buy some food, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves on the opposite hillside, and a group of cavalry rushed towards the village.

This group of cavalrymen wore a messy samurai uniform, with green scarves tied around their shoulders, and it was supposed to be Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army.

As soon as they entered the village, they shot and killed the hunting dogs patrolling the village, and then rushed into the village, driving people from house to house.

"Ling Shao, it is Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army. Damn, no wonder Boss Li said that Du Fuwei can't become a climate, and it's no wonder that such a bandit-like soldier can succeed. ”

Kou Zhong's face was full of anger and he shouted viciously, he saw a little girl being kicked out by a soldier because she was walking slowly, vomiting blood.

The little girl's mother screamed in distress and wanted to pounce on her, but her hair was so dragged by the soldiers that she couldn't move at all, so she could only howl.

Xu Ziling was also angry, he turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Zhong Shao, Boss Li has taught us more than once that we must have a righteous heart. Now that this kind of thing has happened, we can't ignore it. ”

Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Good brother, let's think of going together." Let's get closer, and as long as we can get close and don't let them shoot arrows, then there are no more of them. ”

"Hmm!"

Xu Ziling nodded, although their martial arts are in the rivers and lakes, at most they belong to the third-rate level.

But that is relative to the entire rivers and lakes, and for ordinary cavalry, they are undoubtedly strong.

Having made up their minds, the two slowly approached the village under the cover of the grass and came to the entrance of the village more than ten meters away.

In the open space at the entrance of the village, the men and women of the village stood separately, panicked.

In the Jianghuai army, the military leader, under the wings of four personal entourage, rode to the front of the men's queue.

He pointed with his whip, picked out all the strong, drove them aside, and tied them together with ropes, so that he might catch them.

When the women, children, and old people in the village saw this, they all cried out in sorrow.

In this chaotic era, almost all of those who have been caught are difficult to return.
