Unexpectedly, Li Jicai was able to return to him so smoothly.

However, this unexpected toss almost cost Li Jicai another life.

Qi Qingchu did not hesitate to find it himself, and after this matter passed, he would not let Li Jicai come out again, at least he would settle her in a stable place, no longer get involved in disputes, and suffer less crimes.

At the moment, they have not returned to the capital, and there are no guards around them, so they are still uncertain.

It's all about being careful.

The village chief finally decided to let Li Jicai live in his own house, and arranged for two special people to guard it.

was afraid that in the middle of the night, Wu Mian ran over again and tried to take Li Jicai away.

Before they asked clearly, Li Jicai would definitely not be able to return it to Wu Mian.

After Li Jicai woke up, everything was based on what she said, and she decided whether to go or stay.

The purpose of the village chief is only to protect the safety of Chagouzi Village, and the rest of the children's private affairs, love, and love have nothing to do with him.

Qi Qing saw it clearly at first glance, so she naturally didn't worry about anything.

When they returned to the village chief's house after making this fuss at Wu's house, it was already close to midnight.

The cold wind outside the house made people shiver, and the tip of the nose could smell the cool breath, which made people's minds more and more clear.

When they returned to the village chief's house, they immediately built a stove and coaxed the inside of the house to warm up.

The village chief threw a lot of potatoes into the fire, and then took them out to eat when they were cooked, and also cooked a lot of hot soup, intending to treat the villagers who were squatting in his house.

Guarding the village chief's courtyard are a pair of brothers, surnamed Zhang, who are said to be more or less distant relatives of the village chief.

No one knows whether there is anything specific about it, and the village chief himself has never said it.

In addition to the village chief, Qi Qingchu, Li Jicai, the village doctor, and the brothers surnamed Zhang.

The two houses look dilapidated, but they are still quite sturdy and airtight, and the cold outside does not allow them to enter the house.

The village chief's house was built by the villagers together, and the materials used were the best.

It is precisely because of the village chief's dedication to Chagouzi Village over the years that he has won the love and support of the villagers and can convince everyone.

The village doctor waited by Li Jicai's side, touching and touching from time to time, checking back and forth.

Qi Qingchu was not at ease, so he stood next to the village doctor and looked at him, if there was any drastic action, Qi Qingchu would stop him.

The village doctor saw Qi Qingchu's very nervous appearance, and explained to him with a smile: "This woman, even if it is given to me for free, I will not ask for it, you see this is covered with scars, thin and thin like a monkey, there are not a few taels of meat, and the yellow baba is ugly." ”

Qi Qingchu ignored the village doctor's words, and the village doctor said that Li Jicai was as thin as a monkey, and he didn't look at what he looked like.

Moreover, Li Jicai was still a young girl's family before she was tortured by all kinds, and she was still passable.

Purely in terms of appearance, it is in Qi Qingchu's heart, but whether Li Jicai has become beautiful or ugly, he also doesn't care too much about him, anyway, no matter how she changes, she will always be Li Jicai.

The Zhang Xin brothers helped the village chief to cook hot soup, and boiled some hot water for bathing by the way.

On such a cold day, if you can cover it with hot water, it will naturally be enjoyable.

When they were busy, the village chief brought porridge and rice, and took out a few potatoes and a little side dishes, and walked to their room.

And the village doctor was chatting with Qi Qingchu in another room, of course, the village doctor was talking unilaterally.

"Come on, you're tired of being busy, aren't you? Eat something to cushion your stomach. The village chief beckoned Qi Qingchu and the two of them to come over.

And the village chief's own eyes rested on Li Jicai's body, and he had a feeling of scrutiny.

He didn't have much feeling for this woman he had never met, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad, but it was just a foreign woman, and it might bring some trouble, and the village chief was a little worried about it.

Qi Qingchu picked up the white porridge cooked by the village chief, scooped a small spoonful with a spoon, and blew it and was about to put it in his mouth.

Seeing the village chief's expression, Qi Qingchu couldn't help but put down the bowl, and then said firmly: "If the village chief is worried, treat this woman and then send it to the government, there is nothing to worry about." ”

This seems to be a word of admonition, but it is actually Qi Qingchu's own careful thinking. If Li Jicai is sent to the government, then there is no need to worry about the follow-up, this fish that slipped through the net has finally been caught.

But I'm afraid, the village chief doesn't intend to do this.

"That's what you said, but I'm afraid that this woman will be beaten upside down in the future, and I don't know if I hurt Wu Mian, you also know, if it weren't for everyone, I wouldn't have forcibly tied this woman."

Qi Qingchu nodded uncertainly, then picked up his bowl again, ready to eat a bite or two.

Since coming to the mountain village, Qi Qingchu no longer cares whether the water is clean or not, and whether the food is clean.

He only thought that when he returned to the capital, he would never have this experience again.

Of course, Qi Qingchu also deeply felt that when people are hungry, they are really desperate, as long as they can eat, they can eat.

No matter how much he dislikes it on weekdays.

The village doctor also came to Qi Qingchu's side and continued to talk to him, but Qi Qingchu's attention was not on him at all.

Qi Qingchu silently looked at the back of the village chief, silent. I watched it for a long time.

It seems that it is impossible to expect the village chief to take the initiative to send Li Jicai to the official mansion, Qi Qingchu thought that if his guards could not arrive in time, then he would take Li Jicai away after she woke up.

Even if the village chief took the initiative to uphold justice for Li Jicai and brought her out of the wolf's den, after all, this is a poor and remote place, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

The village chief pretended that his villagers had no self-interested thoughts in his heart, and that Wu Mian only thought about himself from beginning to end.

But if Li Jicai returned to the government and brought them disaster instead of relief, Qi Qingchu felt that from another perspective, maybe the decision made by these two people would be the same.

I'm afraid the village will make the same decision.

If a foreign woman disappears quietly between the mountains and mountains like that, she doesn't know it, and she doesn't know it. No one will find out.

This is undoubtedly a great temptation for those who have made mistakes.

The human heart is the most unreliable thing.

They must get out of here as soon as possible, Qi Qingchu suddenly had such a thought when he saw the village chief staring at Li Jicai's eyes.

It's not groundless, it's just that there is a vague ominous premonition in his heart, and Qi Qingchu feels that his premonition has always been extremely accurate.

In addition, this day is getting colder and colder day by day, but it is very simple in such an environment, and it is not good for Li Jicai's recovery from his injury, Li Jicai's leg has been broken for a long time, and I am afraid that it will leave sequelae.

When the time comes, don't break your leg, it's hard, and it's really a cripple.

They must return to the capital as soon as possible for treatment, and when the time comes, they will be able to use good medicinal herbs.

I don't know what is going on in the capital at this moment, and Xi Zien is now searching where he is, will he come back with a horse pistol.

If Xi Zien can kill them again, maybe he will be able to meet the two of them and take them away, but there is very little hope for this. Qi Qing knew Xi Zien at first.

Everything is unknown, Qi Qingchu was very anxious, but he didn't know where this anxiety came from.

Ever since he came across Li Jicai's incident, he often felt that his mind was numb, uncertain and even irritable.

Like a calm lake, the waves are stirred up by a pair of hands, and the waves are uneven and rise again, and it is always impossible to get a calm.

Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel empty and lost, as if I have lost something, and I am not used to it.

Maybe only by pressing Li Jicai to his side will he not have such anxious thoughts.

As everyone knows, once again because of Qi Qingchu's long-term illness, the court has already had a tendency to make trouble.

In the past, when Qi Qingchu was in the grass hall, Emperor Gao De would generally ask Qi Qingchu's opinion, and then go to the opinions of the ministers.

Sometimes the prime minister in the court and the imperial historian Emperor Gao De gave an attitude of ignoring and ignoring, in the eyes of Emperor Gao De, the other ministers were not as good as their own close ministers.

Because Qi Qingchu was not there, he didn't want many courtiers to hope to be able to get some power from Emperor Gao De's hands, even if it was just to grab some more privileges.

How could Emperor Gao De not know what they thought, for Qi Qingchu's influence, Emperor Gao Dedi really had to admit his talent, it was precisely because Qi Qingchu's excellence had made him have a faint sense of crisis, so it needed to weaken Qi Qingchu's influence from time to time.

Qi Qingchu didn't handle the affairs of the third prince of Yan Kingdom, and after that, he had already sent Qi Qingchu to various places to inspect.

When Qi Qing first said that he was ill, Emperor Gao Dedi saw that his face had not been very good recently, so he believed his statement and asked him to go back to rest.

Such practices are actually intentionally or unintentionally reducing Qi Qingchu's power, even if Qi Qingchu is excellent, he can't make a big contribution.

After all, he is the head of the family in this world, the stars and the moon, and there can only be one moon, even if Emperor Gao De likes Qi Qingchu no matter how much he likes it, he will not allow anyone to climb on his head, which is an insult to his Tianwei.

Now that there is trouble in the court, they can't make a splash in Emperor Gaode's heart.

He could take advantage of this opportunity to get a look at the details of the ministers in the court, to see who was fishing in troubled waters, and who was loyal and sincere to him, and who was of great use.

Of course, in addition to the slight fluctuations in political affairs in the court, others are also paying special attention to Xi Zien's going out to inspect the missing Li Jicai.

After all, Emperor Gao Dedi had personally named this woman to meet her.

And what this woman has done is indeed extraordinary, no matter what it is, just bringing it out is enough to make people talk about it.

It can be seen that Emperor Gao Dedi still cares a little about this woman.

Since His Majesty cares, then they, who are courtiers, should also care, after all, seeing the wind and making the rudder is the law of survival in the court, and no one can do without such a law.

Not only Emperor Gao De, but also the fourth prince Jiang Xihu also waited at home for a long time, just to wait for Li Jicai's news.

But alas, there has been no movement.

Of course, he couldn't trust Xi Zien's search ability, so he himself sent another pair of people to help.

And it is also arranged behind Xi Zien, so that he can receive news at any time, where Xi Zien has seen, he himself is sending someone to deploy it, and if nothing is found, he will rush in other directions.

This is relatively good for the most profitable.

But even if he was worried about the deployment of labor, more than half a month had passed, and he had not received any news from Li Jicai.

Jiang Xihu couldn't help but be very anxious, could it be that Li Jicai was really gone like this?

This person looks at people, sometimes he really looks at an eye, and sometimes he also looks at the timing.

It would be a pity for Jiang Xihu to lose such a usable person in vain.

After all, purely from the perspective of Li Jicai's performance in Liangzhou, he is already outstanding enough, at least more outstanding than many of his subordinates.

So far, it seems that Jiang Xihu's greatest regret is that he did not take Li Jicai back to the capital in time, so that Li Jicai was kidnapped.

is just a small step, Jiang Xihu has arranged a new identity for Li Jicai.

is a lady in a certain family, with the identity of an official family, there will be more places that can be used immediately when the time comes, and of course there will be more people who can help him.

I have to say that Jiang Xihu's abacus jingled, and it was realized after Li Jicai returned to the capital.

He asked Cheng Cheng to take Li Jicai to shake around outside, and when they came back after shaking around, this matter would be done, but who would have thought that dangling would be able to lose people.

Every time he thought of this, Jiang Xihu felt very unhappy in his heart.

Even Cheng Cheng felt very unhappy when he saw him, and sent him away, don't dangle in front of him.

Although Cheng Cheng proposed that he wanted to find Li Jicai, he was rejected by Jiang Xihu.

This matter is not suitable for Cheng Cheng to come forward, and if Cheng Cheng comes forward, he will definitely be recognized.

Since His Majesty has already sent someone to ask Li Jicai, if he sends another person himself, it will undoubtedly be questioning his father?

If he showed disobedience to his father for no reason, then Jiang Xihu felt that he was even more unpopular.

After all, he is still in the dormant stage, his wings have not yet grown, and he does not have the strength to fight for the time being.
