Chapter 114: The Mysterious Man

She hadn't eaten meat for so long, and she had two holes in her face.

Thinking about it, the only possibility is that Qi Qingchu did it on purpose.

"What? Didn't you say that? If you are a prisoner in my place, some of them are good to eat, but you have to be picky? ”

"Lord Qi, that's true, but you don't want to think about it, I'm a cook, you let me eat these clear soups every day, isn't this deliberately trying to consume me?"

"Then bear with it." Qi Qingchu turned his head away from looking at Li Jicai, and when he looked at her, he couldn't help but pay attention to her little pink feet.

"That's not what I said, or else, Lord Qi, or you can bring all the dishes over, and I can make it myself, right?

I can't eat well with you, I can't sleep well, I can't live well, I say that I want to kill and listen to you, but you can't torture people like this? Just let me out and put me in jail. ”

"What nonsense." Qi Qingchu glanced at her, and then casually took the book and stuffed it in his arms.

"It's really not crazy, my lord, you're trapping me here, you're so sleepy that I'm going crazy, I'm, I don't even know what I'm thinking every day, I'm confused, I short-circuit every now and then, how long do you want to lock me up, and now I'm saying I want to cook by myself, don't you even have this human right?"

In fact, Li Jicai has never taken any advantage from arguing with Qi Qingchu.

However, the conditions are all negotiated, and if you don't fight for it, then it will be impossible.

If you try to get it, you might even get some windfalls.

"Is all that weird food you make really delicious?" Qi Qingchu approached Li Jicai, lifted the hem of her clothes, and then sat next to her.

Li Jicai, who was fishing cabbage next to him, said casually: "White fungus lotus seed soup, don't you just love to eat it?" ”

"How do you know I like white fungus lotus seed soup?"

"As long as it's sweet, you like it."

"Inquired?" Qi Qingchu raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth lifted a smile of unknown meaning.

"You've come to my restaurant to eat a few times, and I've deliberately adjusted the dishes."

"You care a lot about what I eat?" Qi Qingchu asked again.

"You're my customer, don't you care what you care about?" Li Jicai's mouth was strong, and she pretended to answer calmly, but in fact, her eyelids were jumping in a panic, and there was a ghost in her heart.

Indeed, she usually paid too much attention to him.

"No matter what, whether Master Qi agrees or not, you force me to hang myself on the beam of the house one day, you will be happy, right?"

"I can't ask for it." Qi Qingchu deliberately said that after getting along with Li Jicai during this time, she knew what kind of character she was.

If she really did these extreme things like she said.

On the contrary, she will not speak out openly, but silently. The more publicized it is, the more fake it is, and it's fun to say.

"Forget it, I'm tired, my lord, you can leave quickly after you finish the book, I didn't say a word to you, I have to live a few years less, so it's really not enough."

Li Jicai sighed, an optimistic person like her couldn't hold on in front of Qi Qingchu. It's too hard to talk to him.

"Write down what you want with a pen and paper, and I'll ask someone to buy it when I get back."

Qi Qingchu inexplicably felt that the irritability in his heart had gone a lot, and the conditions proposed by Li Jicai had become less unacceptable.

To be honest, although he didn't really want to eat Li Jicai's dishes, it was still acceptable to smell that smell once in a while.

"What? Still want to write it down with a pen? Why? I don't write, I'm too lazy to write, I'll just say it to you verbally, and it's not troublesome. ”

"Love to write but not to write." Qi Qingchu hated that someone kicked his nose in the face, and he ignored Li Jicai's ignorance.

After saying some things that were not there, Qi Qingchu suddenly remembered that he still had a lot of official business to deal with, and he wasted time with her here in vain.

So he got up, didn't say hello, and left directly.

Li Jicai pulled the tofu in the lunch box, raised his eyelids and looked at it, and then lowered his eyelids again.

She was used to Qi Qingchu like this.

There was no negotiation today, she couldn't see Li Jiye, and she didn't know what the situation of the people in the shop was like in Suiyuanju, so she could only try to have a good talk with Qi Qingchu next time, if only he could let her out and take a look at her.

The passing years are not good, the passing years are not good.

Speaking of Li Jiye, Qi Qingchu did not come forward in person, he is now his superior, and Li Jiye should understand the things in the officialdom, and Li Jiye should be able to inquire about who the offended person is.

He didn't have a choice, the dog was Li Jicai's, not someone else's, even if Li Jiye didn't take the dog leash and let Xiao Erhei go, it was indirect.

Right now. , Li Jicai was controlled by him, if he dared to make any extra moves, then, what he received was Li Jicai's corpse.

Therefore, Li Jiye did not dare to act rashly, and the consequences were something he did not dare to imagine.

In the Hanlin Academy, Li Jiye wanted to talk to Qi Qingchu from time to time.

But there are not many opportunities for him to meet Qi Qingchu, and he is now serving in the Hanlin Academy.

Although he is in office, he always feels that his scope of responsibility is a little strange, and he usually does inconsequential things, and he is often there. A corner of the Hanlin courtyard does not move the nest.

I thought that maybe the system of Chu State was like this, so I didn't take it to heart.

After all, the monthly payment is enough for him to live.

On this day, Li Jiye was busy with the affairs at hand, so he came out to wander around.

Looking forward to meeting Qi Qingchu, maybe I can talk to him.

The people who came into contact with him before and after were all the descendants of the Qi family, and Qi Qingchu himself did not come forward.

He knew that the people they had offended were not trivial, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Thinking that if he couldn't talk to Qi Qingchu all the time, then he would go to the door next day for the next visit.

But thinking so, Li Jiye himself still didn't dare to act rashly.

But from another aspect, perhaps, it was time for him to leave the Chu State and take Li Jicai with him.

originally thought that after he became an official in the Chu State, Li Jicai was doing the business of restaurants, and he was powerful and rich.

But just when they were about to realize such a plan, something unexpected happened.

In retrospect, Suiyuanju has been open for three years. In the past three years, the rents of other shops have increased, but their rents have not increased.

It was only after he was in high school that he learned that it had not been Mrs. Fan's acquaintance who had rented the shop to them, but someone else.

This is also what he only found out not long ago, so who is the person behind the scenes? And what is the purpose?

Although he was idle in the Hanlin Academy, this kind of leisure made him feel unexpectedly uneasy.

It was as if there was a pair of eyes secretly watching him. Watch his every move.

Since he came to the Chu State, he has been incognito, no one knows his identity, he has always been cautious, and even Li Jicai has not revealed a word.

So I won't worry that Li Jicai will tell his secret after being controlled.

Yan Guo never sent someone to pick him up, and he didn't know anything about the situation in the country, and he didn't dare to inquire like before.

boldly guessed that someone in the Chu State already knew his identity and secretly blocked it. Yan Guo sent someone to pick him up?

It's not impossible.

Could it be that the other party just stayed with him for three full years through casual residence?

Could it be that even Li Jicai was sent by them to spy on him.

However, there is no reason, if you know his identity, there is no reason, you won't do it for three years.

Thinking about it like this, Li Jiye suspected that the other party might not know his identity.

But no matter what, Li Jiye felt that he smelled danger.

The aura of danger made him desperate to escape.

Li Jiye had been walking for a while when he came out of the house, looking up at the gray sky. It was gloomy and looked like it was going to rain.

Tomorrow is Laba Festival, and it should be that you won't be able to eat Laba porridge made by Li Jicai.

The state of Chu is not their place to live, it is full of threats, both known and unknown.

"Li Jiye, what are you doing standing here? It's going to rain, let's go! Master's lecture is about to begin, so let's take a seat now! A colleague of Li Jiye greeted him from afar.

Li Jiye waved his hand, as a reply.

He was tired of walking just now, and sat next to a lotus pond in the courtyard of the Hanlin Forest.

In winter, there are no lotus flowers, the surface of the pool is flat, like a mirror, the water is very clear, there is no freezing, and there are no water birds.

It's very depressed.

The trees on both sides of the bank also left only bare trunks, which looked empty and without the slightest life.

It's very gloomy.

Li Jiye rarely began to miss Yan Guo.

It's been three years, and he occasionally feels a little nostalgic.

But today, very much.

Suddenly, a man in a black robe walked past Li Jiye.

There are very few people who can wear black clothes in Hanlin Temple, and most of them wear white, so wearing clothes of other colors is particularly eye-catching.

Li Jiye's heart moved, and he followed his figure and looked over.

It's really familiar to look at the back, have you seen it anywhere before?

As we all know, Qi Qingchu is extremely fond of wearing black, and he looks like this figure.

But I'm still not sure, today is the day of the master's lecture, will Qi Qingchu also come over to listen to the class?

Li Jiye simply shouted boldly at the back.

"Lord Qi?!"

Luckily, the man hadn't walked far, just enough to hear him.

The other party naturally turned around.

Li Jiye's little heart was pounding nervously, but after seeing that person's face clearly, he didn't feel a little disappointed.

It's not Qi Qingchu.

Li Jiye directly threw his hand at him, and then apologized, asking the other party to bear with him, he recognized the wrong person.

The other party turned around and did not rush to speak, but stared at him quietly.

Cat-like eyes, exuding a faint light. Obviously just looking at you calmly, but I feel a little creepy.

These cat's eyes are unforgettable, with strange and beautiful shapes, but they pierce hands like thorny flowers.

The facial features are delicate and upright, and the complexion has a faintly unnatural whiteness. It looks like you've been indoors for a long time.

The face is harmless, the skin is very delicate, the lips are red and the teeth are white, it doesn't look like an ordinary person, just like a person living in an aristocratic life, receiving the most exquisite care, and the temperament of an ordinary person is not like him.

In addition, he was wearing a black dress, but his face was even whiter, and the white was terrifying.

Li Jiye was a little flustered, did he stop someone who shouldn't have been stopped?

Why does this person seem to have never been seen in the Hallym Temple before?

Identity? Who would he be?

Li Jiye just wanted to make up for it, so he added a few more words.

But the other party looked at him, and after being silent for a long time, he smiled brightly.

The smile was sharp and cold.

It is not felt that there is any temperature, as if the sun is shining on the cold ice, it does not melt, only cool.

The other party was laughing, but Li Jiye didn't feel the kindness of the other party at all.

It's scary......

Li Jiye broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't move.

Not daring to make eye contact with him, Li Jiye focused his attention on his clothes.

But because it's a bit of a distance, I can't see it clearly.

I just feel that the pattern is complicated and luxurious.

This person's identity must not be simple, Li Jiye is not good, he may have provoked someone who should not be provoked.

I was hesitating whether to step forward and apologize again.

The other man had already withdrawn his gaze, and then turned away.

Li Jiye suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his palms were sweating.

Next time, he couldn't be so daring, he forgot what this place was.

Watching the man slowly walk away, until he disappeared, Li Jiye slowly moved out of the first step, and then walked towards the place where the master was lecturing.

There are still palpitations in my heart.

That person's eyes, that person's smile.

Never seen such an indescribable person, unforgettable.

The cat's eyes and the smile mixed with ice ballast looked harmless, but why did it reveal to him that it was a million pieces of silver.

Although there are many people in the officialdom of Chu State, he also knows a lot of them.

But I have never met such a person, who is this person?

Why had he never seen it before? Why did you suddenly appear in the Hallym Temple? If it was someone from the Hanlin Academy, he should have been able to meet it before.

Even if you haven't touched it, you can take a look at it more or less, not to mention that most of the people in the Hanlin Courtyard are dressed in white, and there are very few people in black, so if you have ever been in the Hanlin Temple, you will definitely be able to recognize it.

With such a question, Li Jiye slowly walked away, the person just said that the master's class was about to start, and he couldn't miss it.

As for this strange person, if he has the opportunity to meet him in the future, let's talk about it, if he can't touch it, Li Jiye doesn't feel pity.

After all, it's better not to associate with such a person in the future.

It's scary!
