"Uh-huh." Li Jicai responded happily.

If she wasn't worried that Li Jiye would get lost, how could a manly husband get lost, she must have been dragged by someone to drink halfway through, and then she would be big when she drank.

I also had this experience before, and I went to a restaurant to drink with my classmates and friends.

Obviously, the amount of alcohol is not good, but when he drank too much, he was crazy in the restaurant, and was thrown out by the people in the restaurant, and slept on the street all night.

It happened that an acquaintance passed by and recognized Li Jiye, and after he went back, he told Li Jicai, and Li Jicai was angry at that time and didn't take the initiative to look for it.

Later, when Li Jiye came home in a daze in the morning, Li Jicai did not do business, but stopped at the door, reprimanded him carefully, and then let him go to sleep.

Since then, Li Jiye has rarely hungover outside for the night, because if Li Jicai knew, he would have made trouble with him, and Li Jiye was really annoyed.

Therefore, in Li Jicai's heart, Li Jiye may have been dragged away by an acquaintance to drink, and then drank too much and became unconscious, and it is estimated that he is falling asleep somewhere.

"Lord Qi, don't worry, Li Jiye is like that, he will mess around from time to time, but he won't cause trouble."

"The officials of the Hanlin Academy should be introspective and self-disciplined and have their own code of conduct."

"Yes, yes, Lord Qi said yes." It is no wonder that after Li Jiye took up his post in the Hanlin Academy, he would mention Qi Qingchu from time to time after he came back, saying that he was a rigorous, fair and strict person, and never cheated for personal gain.

"......" Faced with Li Jicai's perfunctory words, suddenly Qi Qingchu didn't know how to respond to her.

"How many years has Lord Qi been an official, right? I've always heard rumors about your extraordinary talents, but with all due respect, except for your most famous retainer, your Majesty's favored retainers, the other grass people really don't think so......"

may be because Li Jicai doesn't understand **, she usually contacts the court, but she can't get in touch with it at all, and naturally she can't understand it, so she said it so frankly.

"You're the first to say that." Qi Qingchu's tone suddenly condensed.

It is true that the general public outside can't understand the ** situation in the court, but only evaluate it based on external perception.

It's like everyone thinks he is His Majesty's favorite servant, and His Majesty is very partial to him.

"No, no, no, I mean, I want to know about the great achievements of adults." Li Jicai felt that because he was flustered, what he said was a bit reckless and not very good.

But in fact, she still needs to know more about Qi Qingchu, not only his private side, but also his external side, and many, many aspects.

"That's not necessary, I'll send you back first."

Qi Qingchu was reluctant to talk about how he was in the court and what he had done.

In fact, as far as the present situation is concerned, his situation is not particularly good, although he has the favor of His Majesty, but he has too many hostile forces to face.

The first is that he does not take sides, especially on the issue of the next generation of monarchs, he is only loyal to the emperor.

The second is that the commercial tax reform he promoted has harmed the interests of some people to a certain extent, and is regarded as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh.

In the end, he is not a powerful minister, but some people deliberately portray him as a powerful minister, advocating his talent and everything about him.

You must know that if you hold it too high, it will also fall and shatter when you fall.

Although Qi Qingchu is not very outstanding to himself, in fact, in the eyes of many people, he is a very dazzling existence.

Maybe he doesn't know this himself.

The plan was to send Li Jicai back to the small courtyard, and then pretended to ask her by the way, if she wanted to help find Li Jiye together, and then naturally join her.

Qi Qingchu believed that as long as he was with Li Jicai, Li Jiye would show up no matter what.

Now that the city gate is **, everyone who passes by must be carefully checked, but this is not enough, Li Jiye must be found as soon as possible, and Qi Qingchu can rest easy.

During the day, he expressed his worries to His Majesty, if Li Jiye was alone and helpless, then there was no need to worry, even if one or two people from the Yan Kingdom came, it didn't matter, but he was afraid of internal and external alliances.

He was afraid that there were forces in the capital that were secretly helping Li Jiye, helping the people from Yan Kingdom, and helping them to transport Li Jiye back smoothly.

"It's already here, you go in first." Qi Qingchu stood at the door, and had no intention of entering the door.

Li Jicai was a little embarrassed, she wanted to invite Qi Qingchu to come in and sit, but looking at the appearance of her family's small and broken settlement, she was worried that Qi Qingchu would look down on her, and the house was still very clean and tidy, after all, it had just finished the New Year.

"Li Jiye! Li Jiye! Li Jicai shouted a few times into the courtyard, but no one answered.

It seems that Li Jiye did not come back.

But it's already noon to noon, where is the rabbit cub?

"If you want to find him, I can accompany you to those familiar places to have a look, and urgent matters have to wait for His Majesty to summon me, so I have to be empty for the time being."

Qi Qingchu looked at Li Jicai's somewhat overwhelmed appearance, and said generously.

Li Jicai was slightly stunned when she heard this, thinking to herself, why is she so kind today?

Turning around to look at him in surprise, Qi Qingchu turned his head slightly unnaturally.

Li Jicai wondered in his heart, but he was only embarrassed, yes, yes, yes, the two of them are already so familiar, what a trivial matter, right?

It just so happened that she also wanted to stay with Qi Qingchu for a little longer.

After all, it's edible.

"So, how embarrassing it is, then it's more bothersome Lord Qi." Li Jicai smiled embarrassedly.

“……”

So Li Jicai didn't enter the door, and left with Qi Qingchu.

Only this time, they didn't go one after the other, but walked side by side.

When they were side by side, Li Jicai used the corner of his eye to ** Qi Qingchu.

Qi Qingchu pretended not to see it, and let her **.

The two ** generals visited four or five places successively, and then they didn't find anything, and Li Jiye's classmates and friends all said that they didn't see him last night and didn't know about it.

Li Jicai took Qi Qingchu to several teahouses and wine shops, but he was nowhere to be found.

It's really weird, where did the people go.

Li Jicai was a little dazed, shouldn't he, usually he is in these places most of the time, how can there be no one?

Qi Qingchu watched Li Jicai look for Li Jicai all the way, but found nothing.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that Li Jiye would never be in these places, he should be hiding somewhere, or staying with some people, or spying on them in secret.

Ruomi has not returned to him to report until now, and he guesses that with Ruomi's cautious mind, most of them are still following them and can't get out.

"Otherwise, let's look somewhere else." Qi Qingchu looked at Li Jicai's tired sweat, standing on the corner of the street leaning against the wall and gasping for breath.

"If you don't look for it, if you don't look for it, I really can't walk." Li Jicai waved his arms and said to himself.

Usually she is lazy, and she has been idle at home for a long time, and she usually doesn't move at all, and her natural physical strength is poor.

"Take a break."

"This dead kid is always running around, not looking, not looking."

“……”

At the same time, in a courtyard in Beicheng District.

Li Ji woke up at night, and he was brought over in a sack.

When I woke up, it was pitch black in front of me, who could not panic? When the sack was shaking, the guards next to it noticed it.

So they kindly helped him give the sack to **, and then poured the person out.

This was ordered by Jiang Xihu, because Li Jiye's behavior of pretending to be stupid and stunned annoyed him, so he wanted to give him some color to see.

Li Jiye broke free from the sack in a rage, and then immediately dodged to the side, looking at the people around him vigilantly.

"What kind of place is this? Who are you? ”

"Shut up!!" A big man next to him roared fiercely.

Only then did he realize that there were five big men standing there guarding him in the room.

Li Jiye was so frightened that he shuddered, his legs kept shaking, and his face was pale and white. Because he found that these people were all equipped with big knives at their waists, and they looked like they were going to do something with him anytime and anywhere.

Biting his lip, Li Jiye didn't dare to act rashly, after all, he was just a weak scholar, and it was impossible to want to hit five at all.

"Who the hell are you? Why? Before he could finish speaking, someone pushed the door open and came in.

"Let him go." Jiang Xihu: I haven't stepped in yet, but I've already spoken it first.

Because Li Jiye was not only covered with a sack, but his hands were also tied up with thick ropes.

"Yes, master."

Li Jiye was a little resistant to the contact of those people, because those big men were fierce, but they were untied to him, so he could only passively turn around and let the family loosen the ties.

"Fourth Prince, why did you tie me up here?"

"Heh, when I said I wanted to help you, I naturally wanted to help you, what? Do you still have to pretend to be innocent? Jiang Xihu's cat's eyes blinked deftly, and his words were mocking.

"I don't understand what you're saying." Li Jiye was shocked and frightened in his heart, the person standing in front of him was one of the royal families of the Chu State, did what he said mean that he already knew?

If he knew, Li Jiye couldn't imagine what kind of situation he would face?

"Hey" Jiang Xihu felt extremely tired when he spoke, sighed, and then looked at the person next to him. The guard next to him understood and walked out quickly.

"You'll find out in a moment."

Li Jiye's eyes were still extremely vigilant, he didn't know what to show him, what was waiting for him.

After a while, a scene that shocked Li Jiye happened. Since it's Su Qing and Su Bai?

"Why are you here? What the hell is going on? Li Jiye said in a lost voice.

A series of ** thoughts flashed in Li Jiye's head, could it be that they are a gang?! Fooled yourself!

Su Bai knew that he had misunderstood when he saw Li Jiye's blue face.

"Don't get me wrong, Childe, we can find you in the capital smoothly, in fact, the Fourth Highness has also made a lot of efforts." Su Bai explained.

"But there's no need to tie me up." Li Jiye glanced at the rope that had just been untied from him, as well as the sack on the ground.

"Let me tell you, if you have to pretend to be deaf and dumb, what should I do?" Jiang Xihu spread his hands and said that he was very innocent.

After a long time of "......", Li Jiye exhaled heavily, and his hanging heart finally let go.

He also thought that he couldn't set a trap for others, but he himself was calculated first.

Sure enough, these ** power tricks are dirtier than the other.

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

"It's a long story, Childe, sit down first and wait for us to talk about it in detail." Su Qing saw that Li Jiye was frightened, and his tone eased a little, and comforted.

Jiang Xihu waved his hand and let all his guards go out, and what he was going to say next was very confidential.

Immediately, the four of them all sat at the table, and Jiang Xihu sat opposite Li Jiye, and the other party's face was full of indifference, which made Li Jiye frown.

"What the hell are you trying to do? Why didn't you notify me beforehand? ”

Li Jiye was a little annoyed, at this moment he felt that he was a pawn manipulated by someone, there was no choice at all, and no one would listen to him.

He began to regret why he had come to the capital in the first place, maybe they would have been in a better situation if they had changed places.

"If someone informs you first, some things will not be easy to arrange." Su Qing said calmly.

Su Bai took his words and said: "We sent someone to take you away in public, and then use this to attract Qi Qingchu's attention, as far as the situation has been investigated now, Qi Qingchu and Li Jicai have indeed been looking for you everywhere outside, which is different from what you said at the beginning that Li Jicai would not betray you." And we want to get you out of town today. ”

"No, Li Jicai must be worried about me when she sees that I am not at home, so she is looking for me everywhere, not as you said, it is absolutely impossible to betray me, not to mention that she doesn't know my identity at all." Li Jiye said excitedly.

"Do you know, won't you be able to see you tonight?" Jiang Xihu interjected, his tone was extremely disdainful, he didn't know that Li Jiye was so excited for a woman?

Women are the most lying animals, and there is no one who can never be trusted.

"Are you just trying to deceive me?"

"Don't dare, but tonight we're going to make your fake identity disappear completely, it's true, only in this way can we avoid future troubles." Su Bai continued.

"Heh, it's already doomed, I have no choice, so why tell me?" Li Jiye hung down his arm weakly, and his tone suddenly became a little depressed.
