"The slave and maid are here to serve the county lord, and the deputy hall master sent the slave and maid to bring a letter to the county lord, and now the hall master is traveling, saying that he asked the deputy hall master to transfer it to the county lord on his behalf."

Seeing the letterhead handed over by Li'er, Chu Nian frowned slightly, opened the letterhead, and the vigorous and powerful font of Shanghai Connect jumped on the paper.

"There is something important for the teacher to go back to the headquarters of Qinghe, about the relationship between Qinghe and the Daliang court, there is no need to worry, the teacher will solve it, what you have to do now is to accumulate thick and thin, and when you want to use it in the future, it will be a blockbuster, in addition, the peach blossoms in the cellar are brewed...... Look at your brother, don't tell him to drink again! ”

Seeing this, Chu Nian couldn't help but burst out laughing, and at this time, she waved her hand lightly and said, "Then thank you Miss Li'er for taking care of her, by the way, what did the deputy hall master bring me?" ”

Li'er looked at Chu Nian inexplicably, and at the end, she shook her head and said, "The deputy hall master only said that the slave maid should take care of the county master, and there are ...... Guarding against a little bit of the county lord's Gu technique. ”

Seeing that Li'er's face was embarrassed, Chu Nian knew what the living treasure Qingyi was worried about, and couldn't help but say helplessly: "At that time, I was just an expedient measure, and I didn't expect him to take it seriously. ”

Seeing this, Li'er nodded, and after a while, while thinking about it, she said: "By the way, the county lord, the deputy hall master also said that now because of the hall master's formation, you can't leave the private house at will, this is what the hall master means, if you want to communicate with the outside world about something, tell the slave maid that the slave and maid can enter and leave the private house freely and convey the news for you." ”

Chu Nian's eyes flashed slightly, she could probably understand what Hu Tongzhi meant, now what book she wants to read, as long as she beckons, she can appear in the study of the private house, there are a lot of good books in Hu Tongzhi's study, and she also said that she can read it freely.

Now Chu Nian is also happy to study here leisurely, illusion is different from other things, Qing Xiu, who is free from the outside world, can learn faster, which is also the main reason why Hu Tongzhi is now locked up here.

Anyway, there is Ming Xiu outside, and there won't be any big mess for the time being...... Chu Nian touched the fluffy kitten in his arms and fell into thought, after this month of getting along day and night, Hu Tongzhi's personality can probably be understood, compared to the rumored Qinghe Hall Master who killed decisively and acted mysteriously, Hu Tongzhi did not like to obey the orders of the Qinghe headquarters in a sense, as far as this month was concerned, Chu Nian had seen Hu Tongzhi tear the letter paper sent by Qingyi with the order of the headquarters to shreds.

Contacting the case file of the Hu family that he saw before, Chu Nian even suspected that the so-called enemy of Hutong was actually Qinghe, but why Hutongzhi later joined Qinghe and even became the head of a branch hall, the reason is unknown.

After a while, Chu Nian lowered his eyes and touched the kitten in his arms, the kitten woke up, and said "meow", at this stall, I saw Li'er take out a set of clean women's clothes and put them next to the soft collapse, looking at Chu Nian seriously, but there was a trace of nervousness in her voice.

"County ...... Lord of the county, the slave and maid are waiting for you to change your clothes. ”

Chu Nian looked sideways at the blushing face, put down the kitten in his arms, and slowly got up and said, "I want to ask you the first time I saw you, are you afraid of me?" ”

Hearing this, Li'er waved her hand again and again and said: "No, no, no, no, the county lord thinks too much, the county lord treats people so kindly, how can Li'er be afraid of the county lord." ”

Chu Nian took off his robe and said with a smile: "Then what are you stammering?" ”

Li'er looked at Chu Nian innocently, and when Chu Nian reached out and handed the robe to her arms, she took it with hindsight, the appearance of holding Chu Nian's dirty clothes, like a little eunuch holding a holy relic, with a solemn expression that Chu Nian almost thought that what she was holding was not her own dirty clothes, but the fairy's feather coat.

At this point, Chu Niancai frowned and said: "You don't have to be like this, I'm just a mortal, besides, you are just taking care of me these days, speaking of which, I have to treat you well, otherwise Qingyi is afraid that he will kill me." ”

Hearing this, Li'er's face suddenly turned red, and after a while, seeing Chu Nian put on new clothes, she looked at Chu Nian cautiously and said, "Does the county lord really not remember the slave?" ”

Chu Nian frowned, turned her eyes to look at Li'er inquiringly, and after a while, she rubbed her forehead, shook her head helplessly, and said, "We've met?" ”

Li'er looked a little disappointed, but after a while, she held Chu Nian's clothes and whispered: "The slave was abducted and sold by a group of traffickers when she was a child, and the county lord stopped the car halfway, and then we were transported to a house, and the county lord also rescued our sisters and put them in the house behind Jishitang for a period of time......"

Speaking of this, Li'er's expression flickered, "Later, Mr. Jinyan came and took us away, and we ......"

Chu Nian suddenly frowned: "Are you the person who Tao Jinyan?" ”

Li'er hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, no, not now, a long time ago, Mr. Jinyan asked us if we wanted to break away from the organization, the slave maid felt that his ability was not enough, and he dragged his companions back several times, so he broke away from the organization at that time, and later sold himself to a large family, which was wiped out by Qinghe, and since then, the slave and maid have followed the deputy hall master." ”

Chu Nian frowned slightly, Tao Jinyan actually did such a thing to give the children a free choice, she didn't know at all, no wonder the last time she went to visit the children, the children were missing more than half.

At this point, Li'er lowered her head with gratitude and said: "When those traffickers abducted slaves and maids, there were no relatives in the slave maid's family, only the stepfather, who beat and scolded the slave and maid, and later sold the slave and maid to the traffickers. ”

"And later, I was taken care of by the county lord for a long time, Mr. Jinyan was also very good to me, I was older than others, and I was not well educated, and Mr. Jinyan never disliked me, before I left, Mr. Jinyan also gave me a large sum of silver, and it was also because of this large amount of silver that the slave and maid could support until I met the deputy hall master......"

Chu Nian frowned slightly: "Your later master is not good to you?" ”

Speaking of this, Li'er seemed to be a little sad and hung her head while holding her clothes and said: "That household is a landlord's family, and the slave maid was serving the eldest young master of the landlord's family at that time...... Fortunately, later the deputy hall master led someone to save the slave and maid, and completely destroyed the family, the slave and the maid only now see the county master, if the innocence of the slave and the maid was destroyed at that time, I am afraid that the slave and the maid will not have the face to face the county lord again. ”

Chu Nian's heart was slightly distressed, she glanced at Li'er sympathetically, and then reached out and gently stroked Li'er's hairy little head: "Don't worry, no one will dare to bully you in the future." ”

Li'er rubbed her eyes that were a little red, and said with a smile: "The county lord and the deputy hall master are both the life-saving benefactors of the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid have nothing to repay, so naturally they want to enshrine the two most important people as slaves and maids, and now I see that the county lord and the deputy hall master can finally become married, and the slave and maid ......."

Chu Nian saw that Li'er was getting more and more biased, so he couldn't help laughing, hadn't Qingyi confessed to Li'er yet? Li'er, this girl is also a dull girl, so obvious to like, she didn't even see it?

In the end, Chu Nian had no choice but to reluctantly interrupt Li'er's words and said, "Li'er, Qingyi is just my senior brother, and there is no other relationship between us. ”

Li'er's face was stunned, a little incredulous, after a while, she rubbed her eyes and said aggrievedly: "County lord, the slave knows that the county lord has some friendship with His Royal Highness the Prince, but the county lord can rest assured, the slave and the maid will not tell the deputy hall master, the county lord, compared to His Royal Highness the Prince, the deputy hall master is definitely a good man, you know, His Royal Highness the Prince will have three wives and four concubines in the future, and the deputy hall master ......"

Chu Nian couldn't help but look at Li'er: "You girl, are you going to wash my clothes?" ”

Hearing this, Li'er suddenly looked stunned, and after a while, she picked up the clothes in her arms as if she remembered something: "Yes...... The slave maid also washes the clothes for the county lord, and the county lord waits. ”

As soon as the words fell, Li'er turned around and turned into a whirlwind and left, Chu Nian looked at Li'er's back and shook his head helplessly, and after a while, he touched his brand-new plain white clothes and couldn't help but chuckle.

Fate is really wonderful, the child I saved many years ago, I don't remember what she was like, and now this child still remembers herself, and even remembers that she likes plain white clothes......

However, if Qingyi really wants to marry Li'er into the door, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.

Chu Nian smiled, and turned his eyes to look at the dim sum that Lian'er had just put down at the table, the style was no different from the osmanthus cake in the Piaoxiang Garden in the city that he liked.

……

On the official road, Chu Yuanlang and Liu Qi walked side by side in front, and the war horse under his crotch sneezed from time to time.

Behind them were dozens of elite soldiers, and before they arrived in Huainan at this moment, Chu Yuanlang lowered his head and touched the token of the king of Huainan in his arms, and a trace of firmness flashed in his eyes.

Liu Qiwang, who was on the side, saw Chu Yuanlang's movements, and touched his chin thoughtfully, but it was only for a moment, and his face suddenly sank, and he turned his eyes to look at Chu Yuanlang, who was still immersed in hot blood, and said, "Young master, there are assassins." ”

At this moment, tens of thousands of elite soldiers are going to the border in batches in order to reduce the target, and they are only carrying dozens of guards, hearing Liu Qi's words, these dozens of people immediately waited for them, wrapped Chu Yuanlang and Liu Qi, and pointed their weapons out of the circle, looking around vigilantly.

Chu Yuanlang also came back to his senses suddenly, he turned his eyes to look at Liu Qi, and saw that Liu Qi's eyes were vigilant, so he probably guessed the strength of the other party.

He manipulated the war horse under his crotch to get closer to Liu Qi for a few minutes, and looked vigilantly at the silent bushes around him that were covered by snow.

"General Liu, you may know how many people are coming."

Liu Qi pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, then saw Chu Yuanlang suddenly frowned, and after a while, Liu Qicai said in a low voice: "Young Marquis, wait for a while to fight, you still need to stay behind the last general, and the last general should ensure the safety of the young marquis." ”

When the words fell, Liu Qi did not wait for Chu Yuanlang's reply, and when he looked back, Chu Yuanlang of the Wang family took out a short blade from his arms, and seeing Liu Qi's slightly surprised look, Chu Yuanlang smiled lightly: "No matter how many people there are on the other side, this side of the hole card is not as simple as it seems." ”

Liu Qi's face was stunned, and he saw that the young man rode a horse under his crotch to pass a few guards in front of him, but instead blocked in front of a few guards, and turned his eyes to look at the forest.

"Who dares to stand in the way of our wait? Why do you want to be a forest bile mouse? ”

Seeing Chu Yuanlang's movements, Liu Qi couldn't help but sweat for Chu Yuanlang, and hurriedly stepped forward a few steps to stand beside Chu Yuanlang.
