The bell rang, and before I knew it, it was time, this was the largest academy in Qi country, "Shuxiang Academy", and the students packed up their desks and prepared to go home, but Qi Xi was still in a daze at his desk.

Since I fainted last time, I always feel that I am different, I can't tell where I am, there is no discomfort in my body, and the doctor can't check it, so do you let the black light in your body ignore it?

Just when Qi Xi was stunned, suddenly a jade bead struck, full of strong wind, if it was an ordinary person, even if it was rubbed, it would leave a blood mark. However, Qi Xi is not an ordinary person. Qi Xi stretched out his left hand and grabbed it, this jade bead is not big, only the size of a child's thumb, the texture is pure, there is no trace of miscellaneous, it can be seen that this bead is precious, but such a bead is used to smash people at this time, Qi Xi looked sideways, and it was Li Jiang, the third son of Lord Li's mansion, who threw this bead to him, who was as big as Qi Xi, but he was a well-known stubborn child.

"Qi Xi, you won't give me my beads, do you know that Young Master Ben hates thieves the most?"

This Li Jiangsheng looks like a pig, full of fat, like a leather ball, and his eyes are not big, but he can't see it when he is squeezed by the meat on his face, and there is only one eye slit left.

"Li Gongzi, you can't talk nonsense without evidence," Qi Xi said sideways with a slight mockery.

The wheel-hearted Qi Xi is definitely not inferior to anyone of the same age, who let him have the memory of two lifetimes, not to mention that Qi Xi is already smart. This was obviously trying to humiliate him, but this Li Jiang found the wrong person.

"I have a witness! Little Four, can you see that my beads were stolen by this person?" Li Jiang said.

"Back to the young master, the little one did see that he took your beads" Xiao Si is Li Jiang's companion and knows some kung fu, so he was bought by Li Jiang's father to accompany his son to study and can also be a thug.

"Qi Xi, what else do you have to say? I have a witness, and you still don't admit it. "Scoundrels.

Qi Xi stood up unhurriedly, walked to Li Jiang's side, and said, "Li Jiang, I, Qi Xi, am a rough person, and I often accompany my father, and what I hear the most is what kind of game is delicious." If you eat too much, you will be a little unable to control yourself, so she put her hand on the corner of Li Jiang's desk, and the corner of the table instantly cracked. This scene fell in Li Jiang's eyes, and his heart instantly became bottomless, and the timidity in his heart gradually increased, he was stubborn, but it was only aimed at those weak and ordinary people.

"Qi Xi, you wait.... , Little Four, let's go home. With that, he walked away quickly.

I really don't know if if I put a stone at the foot of Li Jiang will let him fall and roll on a donkey, this fat body can't bear to look at it directly, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, he used to disdain it, but now he dares to play tricks in front of the young master, and scare you to death. Let's go home, my mother must not be able to wait. I'm going back late, I'm afraid it's time to say I'm playful.

In the courtyard of the Qi Mansion, a messenger knelt on one knee in front of a beautiful figure

"Madame, this is a letter from the general"

The maid beside him had already come up with the words.

After three breaths, he said to the maid beside him

"Let's see if the young master has come back, let him come to my house"

After saying that, he went back to his house.

As soon as the maid arrived at the gate, she saw Qi Xi

"Young master, Madame asked me to ask you to come over. ”

"Got it," he said, and walked to his mother's room,

In Wang Yu's room, "Xi'er, this is the clothes given to you by the princess, you can try it..."

"Well, yes, yes, get dressed and we'll pick up your father"

"Father is coming back? Isn't my father guarding the border pass? Could it be that the emperor has given him a holiday?"

"My mother has just received the letter, and I have to ask your father specifically, okay, let's go to the city gate to meet your father. ”

"Madam, young master, the sedan chair is ready," the butler next to him smiled.

The people inside and outside the city gate entered and exited in an orderly manner, a peaceful place, four mighty and tall soldiers were checking the people entering and leaving, at this time there was a group of people and horses five hundred meters away from the city gate was walking here, and there was a big word on the banner.

Said a well-dressed man

"Look, that's not General Qi of Qi Mansion, I heard that he is guarding the border pass in the town, and the border pass is full of bandits, and it is very chaotic. ”

A soldier next to him said: "Yes, since General Qi guarded the border pass, he has never made a mistake, but why did he return to the imperial capital?"

Five hundred meters were under the city gate in an instant. Qi Lin saw his wife and children coming. I miss it even in my heart.

"Father, the boy is here to catch you."

Qi Lin looked left and right, for fear that he had missed something

"Xi'er has grown taller again, and I really don't know what gift to give you for my father"

As he spoke, he took out a piece of purple-red jade from his arms and handed it to Qi Xi

"This piece of jade was obtained by my father when he was encircling and suppressing bandits, and it was gentle to start with, and it felt very extraordinary, so I gave it to Xi'er!"

After saying that, he looked at his wife Wang Yu, looking at each other, although he didn't speak, the concern in his eyes was obvious to others. Wang Yu said: "Go home!"

In the hall of Qi Mansion...... "If you come back in a hurry, you won't write to tell the emperor, and I'm not afraid that the emperor will blame you," Mrs. Wang Yu said eagerly.

"The stakes are very high, don't delay, I will go to the emperor. With that, he went back to his room and changed into his court clothes. I went to see the emperor, but I had a burden in my hand, and I didn't know what to pretend.

Qi Lin said above the palace hall: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something important to report!"

"What's the matter? The general personally rushed back from the frontier? Why don't you say anything in advance, I'm going to prepare a feast?"

Between the words, his brows furrowed slightly, thinking in his heart that I am also the emperor, you will run back without making a report, so how can I save face?

"Your Majesty, I have been stationed in the frontier for many years, and there has never been an incident, but this time there is a problem with the equipment of our army, and I have to go back to the Emperor Ming, please see it," he opened the package and displayed it in the main hall.

"Inherit it"

"Yes!" said a father-in-law with white eyebrows and bent over, and then stepped forward to take the brocade silk package in Qi Lin's hand and gave it to the emperor.

When I opened it, I saw that there was a hole in the stomach of a brand new armor, which was not broken by a sword, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that there must be something wrong with the equipment.

"What is this?. Biography, Li Dao. ”

How can the emperor be stupid, this is related to the stability of the Qi country, if something goes wrong in this regard, it will not be far from the destruction of the country.

Li Dao is the minister in charge of the army's equipment, and all the equipment of the Qi State must go through his hands, which can be said to be a minister with both power and wealth, and the Qi State from the prince to the courtiers are all courteous to him.

At ten o'clock, a thinner man in his forties walked into the main hall, passed by the ministers, and all nodded and bent down to signal him. This person is Li Dao, the lord that the ministers of the Qi State can't provoke.

"Li Dao has seen the emperor, but he doesn't know the emperor. What is the so-called matter of the Weichen going to the temple. ”

"Li Dao, have you reviewed this stomach? I don't care how I got into the army, I will only give you a five-day period, if you don't have a satisfactory answer, you can tell the old man and return to his hometown!" Although the emperor likes Li Dao, he is only partial in small matters.

Li Dao frowned slightly, took the stomach and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qi Lin knew that Li Dao was deeply loved by the emperor, and protection was inevitable, but Qi Lin could only sigh, although General Qi's Mansion was a branch of Qi State, but that was all about the last dynasty, and now the relationship between the next generation is very indifferent, not to mention the two generations. Since the emperor protects him like that, I will investigate it myself, so as not to prevaricate a reason for me when the time comes, and if there is such an incident, how can I be worthy of the border soldiers' trust in me.

Qi House

"Pass my order, the Qi family shadow guard will be dispatched to investigate this matter thoroughly, and all the people involved in this matter will be interrogated one by one. With that, he casually gave the secret scroll to the shadow guard.

The shadow guard of Qi Mansion was built by Qi Lin's father when he was young, and it was the army directly under Qi Mansion, although there were less than twenty people, but all of them were elite, responsible for handling all important matters in Qi Mansion and only obeying the orders of the Qi Mansion Lord, Qi Lin had trained with them when he was a child, and he could be said to know the roots and have deep feelings.

On the night of the second day after the shadow guard was dispatched, in the Qi Lin room of the Qi Mansion, "General, it's been found out." ”

"Get up, you and I don't have to care about these etiquette, I'm also a shadow guard, and I train with you, since my father died mysteriously, I don't have any relatives, every shadow guard is my family, who did it?

"It was done by the second prince. ”

"Tell me more"

"The second prince withheld materials from it, filled his own pockets, and had secret dealings with Li Dao, and we also learned another secret from it, the second prince prepared materials to buy off several officials and planned to frame the prince. ”

The second prince's name is Qi Chu, and his brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, is named Qi Ming.

Qi Lin said: "It seems that the sky is going to change, this Qi Chu is not small."

Shadow Guard said: "But ......"

"But what?"

"There is a shadow guard who was caught by the people of the second prince, and now I don't know if he lives or dies!"

"Stand down. ”

"Yes".

In the mansion of the second prince, "Report to His Royal Highness, we have caught a suspicious person, and we have found a secret letter from you,"

"Oh...... , there are still people in this Qi country who dare to investigate my affairs? Torture to extract confessions, see who is so bold!"

"Wait"

At this time, a person wearing an official uniform walked out of the shadows, and it was Li Dao, "Your Royal Highness, you see that this person has a mark on the back of his hand." Isn't this mark from General Qi's mansion, look at it, Your Royal Highness?"

"It's okay, let Qi Lin know what he can do, if he dares to hurt me, I don't mind cutting him first. Kill this man, and then put the head in a bag, and I will give General Qi a big gift. ”

Next. "Report to the general, the second prince sent someone to send a gift, saying that the general has just returned to the imperial capital, and he will accompany his wife and children more at home, the imperial capital has not been peaceful recently, so you should be more careful when you go out!"

"Open it and see what it is!" Qi Lin said.

"Yes. ”

The moment it was opened, a fishy smell came to the nose, and a head rolled out,

"General's ......"

"Bury him well," his palms tightened unconsciously. After saying that, he walked under the tree in the backyard, and struck his palm the trunk of a tree with the thickness of a bowl, and the trunk broke in response. "It's too much of a deception. ”

On the night of the second day, in Qi Lin's room, "the people who came to pay close attention to the movements of the second prince must not alarm the other party, so as not to startle the snake." "Yes".

In the Second Prince's Mansion, "Tomorrow at noon, the prince will go to the Huguo Temple to worship the spiritual throne of the generals of the Qi family who have protected the country in the past dynasties, you see?" said a man in black who knelt on the ground next to Qi Chu's seat.

"Okay, okay, go to the Blood Soul Building immediately, tell Li Dao, let him make the assassins of the Blood Soul Building ready, tomorrow you must pick Qi Ming's head, and when I ascend the throne as the crown prince, he will be the protector of the country." At this time, a Qi Mansion shadow guard on the roof quietly retreated.

"Report to the general, the second prince plans to kill the prince tomorrow when the prince worships. ”

"Who is there?"

"I don't know, my subordinates will send someone when they hear about the Blood Soul Building."

"Pass my order, and the shadow guards will all be dispatched tomorrow to secretly protect the prince. Qi Lin said.

"Yes"

"If you want to kill the prince, don't think it's so easy!"
