Either way, it's better to find someone first.

Jiang Xihu was already so angry that he was already very tired from pretending to be heartless on the grass hall every day.

After coming back at night, he had to deal with all kinds of things, and with a Li Jicai who worried him, he couldn't live this day.

Li Jicai is still a good help for him in the end, although he didn't find it before.

Now that he found out, he was kidnapped, and his subordinates didn't let him go to find it, but let the incompetent Xi Zien.

To be honest, Jiang Xihu was extremely dissatisfied with this, why couldn't his people let him find it, but handed it over to an irrelevant person.

Of course, even if Emperor Gao Dedi asked others to do this, he would not ignore Li Jicai. If you can get it back, of course you have to find it.

Moreover, Li Jicai is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, even if he was caught by someone. According to her ability, she may be able to escape.

I don't know why, Jiang Xihu just feels like this.

It's late autumn, and it's getting cooler every day. The leaves in the yard had fallen, and a large pile of yellow ones creaked when stepped on.

After Jiang Xihu dealt with the matter at hand, he sent someone to set up a banquet in the courtyard.

Wait a while, and his guests should have arrived.

Inviting him was actually Jiang Xihu's decision after careful consideration, after all, it was also necessary to consider whether the other party would give him this face.

After all, he is a prince with no power and no power. After all, Qi Qingchu still has the capital to be pampered and proud.

In fact, inviting Qi Qing to his mansion for the first time was not a suitable choice, at least not for now. It is inevitable that people will think that there is a suspicion of co-optation.

However, Jiang Xihu felt that if he didn't take advantage of this time, some doubts in his heart could not be solved.

And this place of doubt is related to whether Qi Qingchu will be able to help him in the future.

Li Jicai.

I don't know why, Jiang Xihu felt that Qi Qingchu was likely to be interested in what happened between him and Li Jicai.

After all, in the previous time, Qi Qingchu was so impulsive that he went directly to Liangzhou to find Li Jicai.

In the past, for a woman, this was absolutely impossible.

In addition, at that time, Jiang Xihu himself had already returned from Liangzhou, and his father did not let Qi Qingchu go to Liangzhou to inspect.

Not for anything else, but for Li Jicai.

Jiang Xihu wanted to know, how far Qi Qingchu could do for Li Jicai?

After all, now Li Jicai is in the same group as Jiang Xihu. Lee Ji-chae disappeared and was kidnapped. Jiang Xihu didn't have to worry about the two of them being able to meet.

The reason why Li Jicai was not allowed to return to the capital was because he was afraid that Qi Qingchu would find an opportunity, and if the two of them confronted the previous matter, there were many places that would not make sense.

Qi Qingchu is smart, and Li Jicai is not stupid.

Once given them a chance, Jiang Xihu always felt that the two of them would join forces to deal with him.

During the time he spent with Li Jicai, Jiang Xihu more or less got to know her. And Qi Qingchu needless to say, although he has not had a deep friendship, he has been a colleague in the court for so long, and he knows very well what this person's style is.

Today is the fifteenth, the courtyard is quiet, the leaves are sizzling, a little windy, and the coolness is deep.

The moonlight shone down and illuminated the ground very clearly. It gives a place of whiteness.

The moon does not relieve drinking, and the shadow disciples follow my heart.

I don't know how long I waited, Jiang Xihu thought that Qi Qingchu should not appear again, and did not respond to his appointment.

The prepared dishes were cold, which was a pity, but Jiang Xihu didn't feel hungry, poured himself a glass of wine, and then drank it all.

The spicy sensation extends from the tip of the tongue to the throat and falls into the abdomen. The cold liquid went down to the stomach, and after a while it became hot, spreading and spreading to the limbs.

Jiang Xihu is not strong enough to drink, and he has never drunk any wine since he was a child. I never drank alcohol when I went to any banquet. lest I get drunk and go crazy.

Come to think of it, Qi Qingchu shouldn't be here tonight.

Jiang Xihu was about to get up, when two people walked in from the middle door and entered the courtyard, led by a slightly hunched head bowed, followed by a tall, slightly thin man.

Jiang Xihu raised his eyebrows and said secretly, could it be that he is here?

The subordinate didn't speak, and after bringing Qi Qingchu to Jiang Xihu in a panic, he quietly retreated, then turned around and left briskly.

The host is quiet, and the less words he says, the better.

Qi Qingchu was dressed in black and drowned in the night. It seemed that the moonlight shining on his body was sucked in, and the look in his pupils was as deep and bottomless as a whirlpool.

"I thought Lord Qi wouldn't come over today."

"Please forgive Your Highness for being busy with official business." Qi Qingchu said neither humble nor arrogant, staring at Jiang Xihu's eyes, without blinking, his expression was very serious and serious, just like he usually behaved in the court.

"Lord Qi is busy with official business, and this prince naturally knows that this delay in Lord Qi's kung fu is so delayed, this prince is a little uneasy, how about punishing himself with three cups in front of the adults tonight?"

"It's not necessary, I don't know what the Fourth Highness is looking for Weichen?" Qi Qingchu didn't want to have too many twists and turns with Jiang Xihu, but went straight to the point, he wanted to know what Jiang Xihu came to him for today.

If it's because of Li Jicai's matter, he can consider listening to it, but if it's something else, then there is no need to talk about it more.

"Since Lord Qi is here, you don't have to be in such a hurry, come, please sit here." Jiang Xihu made an inviting gesture, signaling that Qi Qingchu didn't need to be in such a hurry.

Qi Qingchu looked at him quietly for a while, then took a step and walked to the stool on the table in the courtyard as Jiang Xihu said.

He wasn't worried about what Jiang Xihu would do to him, after all, their every move was naturally transparent in the eyes of those who cared.

There is nothing to hide in this capital, as long as you have the heart to observe, you can see everything, especially people in high positions like them.

But now that he's here today, he won't worry about who will see him.

"The wine prepared today, named Hantianxue, was brought back from Liangzhou, and I have a special favorite." Jiang Xihu also said pointedly.

Someone? Who is there a person?

It goes without saying that the reference must be Li Jicai.

Sure enough, Jiang Xihu deliberately used Li Jicai to transfer him today, and in fact, he did come to his house for this reason, otherwise they would not have had any collision at all because they had no intersection on weekdays.

However, he really didn't know that Li Jicai's favorite wine was called Han Tianxue.

"Lord Qi, don't be stunned, try it? It's a really good wine. Jiang Xihu personally poured Qi Qingchu a cup and motioned him to taste it quickly.

"Thank you." Qi Qingchu picked up the wine glass and sipped it gently. The aroma is crisp and the entrance is soft and mellow. It was cold at first, but after falling into the belly, it quickly rose into a warm feeling.

This wine is really good.

"Lord Qi, do you know why His Highness invited you here today?"

"Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear." The more he talked to Jiang Xihu, the more Qi Qingchu felt that he was extremely troubled.

"About half a year ago, His Royal Highness accidentally passed by a farmer's house that was on fire, and my guards found a woman on fire in the backyard of the farmer's house.

Jiang Xihu spoke very slowly, as if he was considering whether his words were appropriate and appropriate, but when he heard Qi Qingchu's ears, he felt a little strange and confused.

It was absolutely impossible for him to say this, for his men had completely surrounded the house, and that the fire was not set by him, not by him, and he could be sure of that.

And if Li Jicai ran out, his people should find out and will find out.

The words of these four princes are unreliable.

Qi Qingchu immediately made a decision in his heart.

Jiang Xihu looked at his expression, he knew what he was thinking, he was not in a hurry, smiled slightly, and then continued: "It's just that I rescued this woman, it really surprised me, I didn't have a good skin all over my body, the doctor changed three or four in a row, and they all said that they were hopeless, and I don't know how she endured it, and she actually picked up a small life, which made me impressed." ”

Burned all over the body without a good skin? Qi Qingchu was startled, he was still looking down at the table, his slightly lowered eyelids didn't move, and when he heard Jiang Xihu say this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at him without blinking.

"Lord Qi doesn't need to be so surprised, what His Highness said is the truth. It's just that I later learned that this woman's name is Li Jicai, and she once opened a store in the capital, but later offended people and closed the store. ”

Jiang Xihu said, and there was a tsk sound in his mouth, so that people couldn't tell whether his tone was regret or surprise.

"Li Jicai has a very good life in my place, but later, His Royal Highness took over the affairs of Liangzhou in the court, and she had nowhere to go, so she went with me."

Jiang Xihu stopped talking when he said this, looking at Qi Qingchu as if he was waiting for his reaction, but Qi Qingchu didn't speak, and still looked straight at Jiang Xihu.

Jiang Xihu was a little helpless, there should be no need for him to say more about the follow-up things, Li Jicai followed him to Liangzhou, and helped him quell the bandits, and even contributed to the treatment of the locust plague, which was a great surprise. It amazed his father and made him curious.

"Your Highness heard that Lord Qi once rushed to Liangzhou in person to meet my subordinate, Li Jicai?" Jiang Xihu specially bit the word subordinate, waiting for Qi Qingchu's reaction.

But Qi Qingchu didn't show obvious emotions from beginning to end, as if he was a bystander to this matter, just listening silently.

Except for the fact that he felt that Li Jicai's mood fluctuated slightly when he said that there was no good skin on his burned body, other than that, it was as plain as water.
