Chapter 247: Position
On the way back, it was getting late.
Xi Zien estimated coldly, calculating in his heart that when he returned to Jinzhou City, it was already the time when the lights were on.
The raid that has been going on for days has finally been suspended, can this be considered his luck? Xi Zien suddenly felt extremely comforted in his heart, because he had completed an almost impossible task.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and he found that person smoothly, which is simply a miracle, or is his luck good.
However, Xi Zien didn't even think about who was delivering the news to him.
And Li Jicai was put on the futon and carried all the way down the mountain, although it was a little bumpy, but on the way back, he got out of this nightmare-like mountainous area, like a hellish life.
Never worry about not having enough to eat anymore.
For Xi Zien, Li Jicai showed no gratitude at all, in fact, she guessed that the news might have been given to him by Qi Qingchu.
If you want to catch the market, you should be grateful to Qi Qingchu.
Xi Zien, who longed for this moment, was in a good mood, and Li Jicai didn't want to talk to him for fear of annoying others.
Obviously, after going through so many things, Li Jicai felt that Xi Zien seemed to have a lot more impatience with her.
This feeling of impatience stems from Lee's intuition, and she believes that she is not wrong with her feelings.
As for why Xi Zien suddenly became impatient with her, the reason may be because finding her was a chore, and somehow, it fell on him, so this may be the reason for Xi Zien's dissatisfaction.
But maybe in the boring hurry, it was too boring in the process, and Xi Zien himself was an idle, unbearable lonely, and the one present who could talk to him was nothing more than Li Jicai.
"How?" Xi Zien slowly slowed down, and then walked up to Li Jicai, and said coldly.
Li Jicai was immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't expect Xi Zien to suddenly come over to talk to him, and he couldn't help but be taken aback.
But he quickly regained his composure, and then replied in a low voice: "There is no discomfort in the body. ”
Xi Zien's question was unclear, and Li Jicai could only think that she was concerned about her physical condition now.
"I saved you, and you don't feel any gratitude?"
"I'm very grateful."
"But I don't see gratitude in your face."
"Oh, I keep my gratitude deep in my heart and will always remember it."
"Your mouth still doesn't give way."
"Someone sent you a message, right? If no one sends you a message, you won't turn back.
Actually, your people searched me that day, but they didn't recognize me, and I couldn't speak. ”
"It's so hard, you're not dead, made of iron?" Avoiding the topic of handing over news, he didn't want to admit that what Li Jicai said was right, he was indeed woken up by others before returning to him, and this credit belonged to him alone.
"Made of gold, right?" Li Jicai laughed at himself.
Was there anything else on her body that hadn't been hurt? His legs have been knocked off and burned, his head has been knocked unconscious, and there are countless injuries of all sizes, and it is indeed quite strong.
"I heard that you are showing your skills in Liangzhou, and Your Majesty is interested in you."
Li Jicai didn't know how to answer such a topic, so she kept silent.
"How long will it take?" Li Jicai is tired, she doesn't want to talk to Xi Zien now, she just feels that it takes effort, what she wants to do now is just to sleep well, sleep peacefully and peacefully, and don't worry about being abducted when she gets up.
"It's coming." After Xi Zien said this, he saw the tiredness on Li Jicai's face, and thought that she didn't want to talk to herself anymore, so Xi Zien didn't want to be bored, so he walked away obediently.
The whole team was silent, no one spoke, dull and almost a little depressing, the moon could not be seen in the sky, only the stars in the sky, and the eyes blinked, as if they were full of confusion.
When they left the mountain village, they only took Wu Mian away, Wu Mian and his wife crashed to death on the stone at the entrance of the village, and I don't know if anyone collected her body in the future, but it doesn't matter.
This matter ended here, and when they returned to Jinzhou City, they handed over Wu Mian to the government of Jinzhou City for conviction, and in any case, it was already inevitable to die.
After they got out of the mountain, the news flew quickly in all directions like wings, and soon the people related to it basically received the news that Li Jicai had been found.
And the fourth prince also withdrew the manpower he sent to look for Li Jicai outside, it was great to be able to find Li Jicai, but I don't know if she can still listen to her own words and be at her mercy after she comes back.
However, even if Li Jicai is unwilling at that time, she will have to be willing, because he has prepared her identity.
A concubine from a high-ranking family, a relative who recognizes, the kind that can't be beaten by eight poles, although she can't see the table, but she is also touched by some nobles.
Didn't Lee Ji-chae want to be an official in the DPRK? Then this must be the way for her.
In addition to gladly accepting his Jiang Xihu's arrangement, Jiang Xihu couldn't find a reason why Li Ji would refuse.
However, even at this point, Jiang Xihu did not dare to relax his vigilance, and he sent additional personnel to ensure Li Jicai's safety, so as to prevent another accident in which Li Jicai was robbed and robbed.
The same thing cannot happen a second time.
After making such a big turn, Li Jicai suffered a lot again, and it was extremely bumpy.
In the time that passed, many things changed rapidly.
Like the unpredictable clouds in the sky, the court is also full of storms and clouds, and the waves are treacherous.
Qi Qingchu has been on vacation for too long, and if he continues to rest like this, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
So after arranging for someone to tell Xi Zien Li Jicai's location, he quickly set off and rushed back to the capital.
It's just that this time it went smoothly beyond imagination, and Qi Qingchu didn't think that he could find Li Jicai at one time, but he just thought that it would be a while to be able to delay it for a while, and it would be a little earlier.
It's better than doing nothing and waiting.
But it's very comforting, I finally got Li Jicai back, maybe it really has eyes.
I don't know what kind of encounter Li Jicai will experience if he returns to the capital this time, in fact, when she was by her side, Qi Qingchu wanted to ask her if she should take this opportunity to live in seclusion and not get involved in court affairs, it was really unnecessary.
But everyone has their own ambitions, Qi Qingchu knew that Li Jicai was a tendon, and he wouldn't listen to his words at all, so he could only let her go.
If you meet in the court in the future, then let's talk about it!
Li Jicai and the others finally arrived at the city gate of Jinzhou after the second watch.
Because they were officials, the gates of the city that had been closed were specially opened for them.
The group was extremely tired, after all, they were driven down from the mountain, and after the city gate was opened, the officials of Jinzhou City, large and small, waited to greet them, all holding torches in their hands, which illuminated both sides of the street, and the lights were bright.
Li Jicai was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, anyway, she didn't have to worry about Xi Zien's presence.
It seems that others don't dare to hijack him anymore, after all, he is escorted by Xi Zien, and he heard that she means that the emperor asked him to come to find him.
Isn't this a row?!
The place to stay has already been arranged, and Xi Zien has made the decision, since he has found the person, he is not in a hurry to go back for the time being, rest for two days first, and then wait until he is full of energy.
Wait until you have almost rested before you can set off, anyway, Your Majesty's side is not urgent, and if he doesn't move a little later, how can it seem that he has worked so hard to find someone, how can His Majesty reward him?
Xi Zien has Xi Zien's own ideas, and Li Jicai has Li Jicai's ideas, but fortunately, there is no conflict, so there is no need to worry.
Li Jicai needs enough time to recuperate and heal his physical ailments, but Xi Zien needs a little time to buffer.
When the officials in Jinzhou City greeted Xi Zien and them, they were all cautious, and at the same time they were very happy, and they couldn't wait to sing and dance in the street.
Because after all, Li Jicai disappeared in the area under their jurisdiction, which has a great relationship with them, if the people valued by the imperial court, they lost it, then they will be blamed in the future, and it will have a great impact on promotion or all aspects.
Therefore, Xi Zien was able to get Li Jicai back, and the officials in Jinzhou City were very happy.
Maybe they will be rewarded for this, after all, they are not the ones who lost people.
The officials in Jinzhou City dutifully sent Xi Zien and Li Jicai to their place of stay, and then wandered downstairs for a long time and were reluctant to leave, until the third watch, it was almost dawn, and they did not leave.
In the end, it was Xi Zien's men who drove them away, but those who still sent a lot of officers and soldiers surrounded them by three layers inside and three layers outside.
This is really the three layers of the inn they stayed in, and the three layers outside the water are impassable, and any strange and suspicious people are not allowed to enter, and all people who come and go must be checked, and there must be no more things that happened before.
There is a feeling that the wind is loud and the grass and trees are soldiers.
When Xi Zien woke up the next day, he was quite proud when he heard his subordinates report like this, because he enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded and valued by everyone.
Moreover, he came from the capital, and his status was much higher than that of the officials in these places, so he naturally had to hold it high.
Li Jicai has been thrown to the military doctor by him, anyway, he has been taking care of the military doctor's statement, which also means that there is no big problem with his body and bones, as long as he takes care of it well, in short, it is good to eat and drink, and she can get the best for everything, which is as simple as raising a pig.
Li Jicai was also happy that Xi Zien didn't go to her for trouble, after all, it was very troublesome to deal with him.
As far as the current situation is concerned, although she was found by Xi Zien, in fact, Li Jicai's position now is very embarrassing.
At least for now, Li Jicai still thinks that he is subordinate to the fourth prince Jiang Xihu.
And Xi Zien was recognized as being on Qi Qingchu's side when he was in the court.
Although I don't know if these two sides are opposites, at least they are not in the same camp.
So there are some things that Li Jicai can't reveal to Xi Zien, and he can't show how close he is to Xi Zien, so as not to misunderstand outsiders.
Cheng Cheng reminded her before, saying that now her every move does not only represent herself, there are many eyeliners and traps around her where she can't see, and if she is not careful, she will be used or calculated.
On the whole, it is safer for Li Jicai to stand in Jiang Xihu's camp now, after all, Jiang Xihu promoted her in the first place, and also gave her a lot of opportunities.
Although there are places to suppress her, it is also out of her own interests, which is understandable. Lee also has his own interests.
After experiencing Wu Mian's experience, Li Jicai figured out a lot of things, and also tasted a lot of things that she had never tasted before.
Therefore, in the next process, he will know more about how to make trade-offs, how to do what is best for himself, and will not be controlled or used by others.
At the same time, he can achieve his own goals, although Li Jicai knows in his heart, it is very difficult to achieve such a level, and it cannot be achieved without years of experience in the court.
She is not like Qi Qingchu, she was born in the family of the official eunuch since she was a child, and she has nothing to rely on, she can only rely on her own clever and small tricks, or she learned from books, which is equivalent to talking on paper.
Almost every step is on the tip of the knife. The symbiotic relationship with Jiang Xihu is always likely to be broken, and Li Jicai is basically taking a risky move now, and if he makes a mistake, he may fall into a place of no return.
In the past, she didn't feel how dangerous it was, as long as she acted carefully, she would definitely be able to achieve her goal.
However, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
Thinking about Li Jicai feels extremely difficult, so every time he thinks about these things in the future, Li Jicai will always miss the character Wu Zetian who he once learned in history books.
It is truly remarkable, that kind of insight, that kind of broad-mindedness, that kind of political talent, all of which are incomparable to mortals.
It would be nice if she had been given her outstanding political skills when she crossed over.
Since then, he has embarked on the pinnacle of life, and it is not like this to start with a collapse, and then start with a dog, the equipment is all about fighting, and the status is all about his own efforts.
When is this going to be the head?
