Chapter 191: Dependent on Each Other
Unexpectedly, when he went down to court, Qi Qingchu didn't even say hello, and left in a hurry.
Xi Zien, who originally wanted to talk to him, was given a lecture by his father, saying that he had just behaved extremely badly in the court, and he couldn't stand steadily, which made people unhappy at first glance.
It took Xi Zien a lot of effort to get rid of his father, Prince Yong, but when he went around looking for Qi Qingchu, he found that he didn't know where he had gone.
They went out on patrol and only went to two places, Yangzhou and Jinzhou. But these two places have been thoroughly investigated by them, and those local officials are estimated to hate him and Qi Qingchu to death.
But when he didn't continue to investigate, Qi Qingchu suddenly rushed to Liangzhou.
Of course, the wool came out of the sheep, and it was because he gave him the news about Li Jicai, so he chased after him.
Didn't you say that Li Jicai and Li Jiye, two siblings, had died in the fire? I don't know what's going on, but the fourth prince Jiang Xihu was able to find out Li Jicai.
How could it be so coincidental?
But of course, it may also be that this is just a false rumor, when Qi Qing first arrived at that place, he found out that he had been deceived, and it was possible that the person was not Li Jicai at all.
But no matter what, Qi Qingchu's mysterious actions still annoyed Xi Zien, and he didn't know what was going on, recently His Majesty assigned him a lot of tasks, and he was so busy that he couldn't finish it, you must know that he was just an idle errand in normal times, and he didn't have so many things to do at all.
Xi Zien himself is often persuaded to say that he is less nosy.
In fact, he is not usually very nosy, but sometimes he can't help but be very curious.
As long as it was something that was hidden from him, he felt very curious. If you're curious, you'll want to delve into it.
After a long time, I have developed such a habit.
Of course, he doesn't feel curious about everything, for the affairs of the woman's family, he only cares about the woman's appearance and figure, whether it is a big chest, a thin waist and a buttocks.
But for a strange person like Li Jicai, he paid more attention, and it was obvious that Qi Qingchu's attitude towards Li Jicai and Li Jiye had obviously changed slightly.
These subtle changes will definitely not be visible to people who don't know Qi Qingchu.
Only Xi Zien, who often messes with Qi Qingchu, can feel it.
Xi Zien couldn't find out the ins and outs of this matter, and once he found some clues, it was as if a pair of invisible big hands had pinched half of it.
No matter how he pestered Qi Qingchu, Qi Qingchu always refused to tell him, so much that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and his eating and sleeping were affected.
And he is a life-and-death person who loves to drill the horns of the bull, which tortures him now, and it is even more uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that today he found in the court that in addition to Qi Qingchu's expression, His Majesty also had the four princes and the two of them, and they also gave him some indescribable feelings.
Although reason told Xi Zien that he would not interfere in this matter anymore, he was secretly competing with himself in his heart, and he must find out what was going on.
Since no one told him, he started from the beginning and started again.
started to check from Li Jicai's origin, as well as the dead Li Jiye, maybe he could find some clues in this.
So as to find out what was going on, and then satisfy his curiosity, and then triumphantly ran to Qi Qing to show off: If you don't tell me, I can find out myself.
Qi Qingchu and Xi Zien each have their own information, and the source of this kind of news is closed and does not communicate with each other, only when Qi Qingchu uses Xi Zien to do something when necessary, Qi Qingchu will take the initiative to release some news.
Because Qi Qingchu has always been the one who helped Emperor Gao De do things, and Xi Zien stood on Qi Qingchu's side. Then it is a simple explanation, Xi Zien is Emperor Gaode's person, except for Emperor Gaode, no one can use him, and it is because of this that he was able to be lawless in the court before.
But now that the situation in the court has changed significantly, Emperor Gao De began to have a not so obvious sign of trust in Qi Qingchu, and many important matters that were originally handled by Qi Qingchu were also transferred to the hands of other ministers.
It is equivalent to suddenly decomposing Qi Qingchu's power.
Before something happened, Qi Qingchu's status was above 10,000 people under one person.
But now, although it is a little weak in comparison, when will Qi Qingchu be able to regain His Majesty's trust and favor.
Qi Qingchu is still very young. If you fall into the trap at this moment, maybe when someone returns to power, they may retaliate.
But now, no matter what the game in the court is, whether Qi Qingchu's status is rising or gradually declining has nothing to do with him Xi Zien.
Because he is a child of Prince Yong's mansion, the hereditary glory will never be lost, not to mention that Prince Yong and his wife just hope that Xi Zien can learn something after Qi Qingchu.
On the surface, it seems that the relationship between Xi Zien and Qi Qingchu is very good, but if it is really divided, it can be divided cleanly.
But it's the kind of relationships that are the most strong. The relationship between Qi Qingchu and Xi Zien is not only a colleague and a friend, but also a brother and a stranger.
They have reservations about each other, but they are closely attached to each other.
At least above the court, Qi Qingchu didn't regard anyone as a friend, only regarded Xi Zien as his friend. And so is Xi Zien himself.
As for keeping some secrets, Qi Qingchu's approach must be beneficial to Xi Zien, and he felt that he was not suitable to participate in it, so he did not inform him.
But in Xi Zien's opinion, in addition to not satisfying his curiosity on the one hand, on the other hand, he doesn't treat him as a brother, because once Qi Qingchu encounters tricky things and hides them from him, usually such things will be more dangerous and easy to get into trouble.
Although Qi Qingchu often uses Xi Zien as a gunman, at most, he picks a head outside, and it will not really threaten his reality.
Some things, on the contrary, seem so low-key and inconspicuous, but they hide a great crisis.
Xi Zien really regards Qi Qingchu as his good brother, so he is so anxious and like this, he can't dig everything out of Qi Qingchu's mouth at once, but he knows that even if Qi Qingchu beats him to death, he won't confide it.
As long as it was something he didn't want to say, it was impossible for the knife holder to say it on his neck.
It is precisely because Xi Zien knows this very well that in the future, he did not tell Qi Qingchu what he did, so sometimes he would provoke Qi Qingchu to be angry, but he was helpless.
Xi Zien will figure things out and will not interfere, he is also worried about disturbing Qi Qingchu's plan, he is just curious, he just wants to know. Qi Qingchu has always thought that one more person knows that there will be an additional risk, and the consequences of this risk are unpredictable and predictable, and he can't take this risk......
After Li Jicai was stationed in Huze for a few days, he followed Cheng Cheng to another place, and they followed the migration path of locusts.
The locust extermination envoy of the imperial court has arrived, temporarily stationed in the Kua chair, waiting for the right opportunity, and then rounds with Li Jicai.
Although they came here to deal with the locust plague, with the concerted efforts of Li Jicai and Cheng Cheng, the situation has stabilized too much, and it is estimated that only the follow-up is left to them.
With the arrival of food and funding from all sides, people no longer have to flee in all directions, and some have begun to return.
As long as food, clothing, shelter and transportation can be solved, the remaining problems are not a problem.
Li Jicai was very relieved, under the protection of Cheng Cheng, she didn't see those scenes of changing children and eating, of course, she was afraid to see those scenes.
At this moment, all she wanted was to leave quickly, although he didn't have to eat locusts every day now, but the smell of locusts filled the air.
It's better to miss the grass and trees of the Jiangnan water town, or the lively street life in the bustling capital, than to be tormented by locusts here.
Of course, Li Jicai is still very willing to help these displaced and poor people.
Of course, other than the locusts, it is not completely without benefits, at least the sunset here is extremely beautiful.
The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.
Liangzhou, a thousand-year-old military fortress, how many historical relics, with Liangzhou as the boundary, divides the two worlds.
When Li Jicai climbed to see the sunset for the first time, Cheng Cheng took her there.
In Li Jicai's eyes, Cheng Cheng, Jiang Xihu's subordinate, has changed from a ruthless person to a cold-hearted person.
At least since she stayed here, Cheng Cheng has been taking care of her very much, protecting her, and standing up for her when she was questioned by those officials.
The place they went to was a high-rise building in Huze, called Moon Tower, which was originally built to worship the moon and worship the moon on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but later people found that the distant view from here is also very beautiful, and there has been no clear division since then.
If Li Jicai stays here for more than a month, it is estimated that she will be able to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to worship the moon, but her arrangements for going and staying will still have to wait for the decision of the higher-ups.
Sort out and dictate everything to Cheng Cheng, and after he finishes it, turn it into a document and hand it over to those locust extermination envoys, including some follow-up arrangements.
The people brought by the seven county orders, including the seven county orders, were suspicious of Li Jicai at the beginning, and later they were convinced of Li Jicai. It can be regarded as having undergone a big change.
After handing over the matter, Li Jicai and Cheng Cheng were relatively idle.
So much so that on the second day after the handover, he took Li Jicai to the Moon Tower.
Li Jicai wondered if it was because this time was too hard and too hard, and then he complained to Biyu and Biluo, so Cheng Cheng took her out for a walk.
