Li Xiaoqi frowned, pondered for a moment, looked at Monk Zhijing, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I know, Mr. didn't see the destiny of heaven and didn't want to return, isn't it?" ”

Zhijing raised her eyebrows in surprise and nodded her head again and again: "This girl is really smart, what you said is right, Mr. Lin and I had no choice but to escape." Mr. Lin sighed heavily, reached out and took out a piece of delicate, carved white jade gourd from his arms, looked at it in his palm, and handed it to Li Xiaoyi: "Girl, take this, if there is really any difficulty in the future, go to my house for small things, and find the big housekeeper Lin Xiao, if Lin Xiao can't help you, you can take this jade gourd, go to the right prime minister's mansion, find Lin Chengxiang, he is my uncle, see this gourd, he will be able to help you, your business is there, there is no big deal." ”

Li Xiaoqi looked at the white jade gourd in Mr. Lin's palm in surprise, turned his head to look at Zhijing, and Zhijing smiled and signaled: "Take it, so that Mr. Lin and I can rest assured." ”

Li Xiaoqi nodded, reached out and took the jade gourd, straightened up and thanked, "Thank you, sir." As he spoke, he shook off the red rope tied to the jade gourd, put it around his neck, carefully carried the jade gourd into his clothes, and put it away with the meat.

I don't know if it's because I listened to Zhijing's words, or if this Taiping Mansion really started to be not peaceful, Li Xiaoqi only felt that there were more officials and officers and soldiers on the street than before, and the chief ran more diligently than before, and even the business in Changfeng Building was a lot lighter, Li Xiaoqi followed Wei Shuisheng back to the courtyard every day, and she didn't dare or have the heart to pester her eldest brother out, and she couldn't be as peaceful and happy in her heart as she was a few days ago.

Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng listened to Li Xiaoyi's worries about Liu Niangzi and Huang Yuanshan, although they didn't believe that Huang Yuanshan could do anything bad, but as long as Liu Niangzi saw Li Zongliang, she stared at him with grief and grievances.

After dinner, Li Xiaoqi and Li Erhuai were at home, and Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng quietly went out to see the house every day, wanting to move out before the end of the month, so that they didn't have to pay for the house in the first two places in a month.

After looking for more than ten days, the two of them took a fancy to a courtyard seven or eight streets away from here, a very small courtyard, an old couple's house, the old couple lived in the main house by themselves, and they wanted to rent out the three east wings to earn some money to supplement the family, which was far enough away from the miscellaneous courtyard, Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng were extremely satisfied, and the next day they took Li Xiaoqi and Li Erhuai over to see, paid a fixed price, and prepared to move over at the end of the month.

A few people muttered and discussed, the matter of moving, must be hidden from Mrs. Liu, but Mrs. Shen, always have to explain, Li Zongliang bought a piece of material, and took Li Xiaoqi over to talk to Mrs. Shen about the move, Mrs. Shen was full of sadness and reluctance, but Mrs. Liu's matter, she also saw it in her eyes, it was not good to keep a few more brothers and sisters of the Li family, only entangled in wanting to move over, but she has lived in this miscellaneous courtyard for seven or eight years, and she has made a small reputation for her work, just sit at home every day to pick up work, if she moves, this job will be gone.

Mrs. Shen didn't dare to move over with her, but only pulled Li Xiaoqi and explained over and over again: Come to see her from time to time, clothes and shoes, don't look for others, just come to her.

There are still seven or eight days before the end of the month, one day at noon, when the Taiping Mansion is the most lively, more than a dozen guards of the Beiping Kingdom escorted several Wu domestic attendants, with blood and soil on their bodies, and rushed into the gate of the Taiping Mansion in the dust, and several internal servants cried as soon as they entered the city, and the guards of the Beiping Kingdom dispersed the crowd loudly, escorting the inner servants along the bustling royal street, crying all the way into the palace.

The sun has not yet set, Princess Funing and the horse Su Zicheng's team was intercepted and killed by Liang at the border of Wu, Su Zicheng was seriously injured and fainted, Princess Funing fell into the hands of Liang Guoren's letter, and the wind spread all over the Taiping Mansion, the rumors are very detailed, saying that the people of Liang have long been ambushed, Su Zicheng desperately protected Princess Funing, but unfortunately she was outnumbered, she was seriously injured and fainted, and Princess Funing was taken captive by the Liang people, and now Su Zicheng is still unconscious, life and death are uncertain.

Li Xiaoqi nested in the corner behind the counter of Changfeng Building, listening attentively to all kinds of angry and generous discussions in the lobby, these rich and poor people who had been peaceful for a long time, all of them were gearing up, and they couldn't wait to send troops to Liang State immediately, recapture their princess, and avenge their gentle horses.

But where did these letters come from? At noon, she watched those guards and chamberlains rush by, and it was only an hour or two before the news spread throughout the Taiping Mansion? How could such a thing come out?

Li Xiaoqi thought about Zhijing's words, this Su Concubine, first assassinated, and then robbed of his daughter-in-law, looking like this, he was unlucky to get home, he was unlucky, who can benefit from Wu Guo? The assassin fled into the Taiping Mansion, shouldn't the assassin flee to a place where the mountains and rivers are high, how could he escape into the Taiping Mansion? I don't know if I caught the assassin now••••••

Li Xiaoqi listened to the gossip for most of the hour, and then quietly left Changfeng Building, and went to Wei Shuisheng to drink tea and read a book with a heavy heart.

The next day, the rumors were even stronger, as if everyone was the one who had experienced it personally, excitedly describing how the people of the Liang Kingdom were ambushed, and how the horse was injured to protect the princess, well, the horse was assassinated and injured! Sure enough, there was a conspiracy! Even the blood of the people of Beiping made them excited, how the people of Beiping were angry, how they grieved their prince and concubine, how they had already ordered troops and entered the Liang State to take revenge, how could we people of Wu be compared to the barbarians of Beiping?

The uneasiness in Li Xiaoyi's heart is getting stronger and stronger, the captive is the most favored princess of Wu State, the beloved daughter of Wu Guifei, Wu Guo, will also declare war? The Taiping Mansion is now full of anger, I heard that the students have cried blood and gone to the book, such a shame and humiliation must not be tolerated, the national prestige of the Wu State must not be committed, to fight, to destroy the Liang State, to throw pen to Rong, to inspire the national prestige, how to ••••••

Li Xiaoqi finished selling the dates, and hid in the corner gloomily listening to the anger and generosity of the house, and looked at the old and young masters who were talking about it with pity. What a fight! If you want to fight, it will be your money and your people, and you will be able to achieve success, and all the bones will wither, and it will be the people who will die!

If this battle really starts, how many people will have to die? How much silver is spent? I don't know how to do it in my little life, even if it will be a while, the war will not burn to the Taiping Mansion, but her business will definitely be much more difficult, and once this war starts, who knows what will happen, Beiping Kingdom will be able to enter Liang State the next day, this is obviously prepared for a long time, there will be no premeditation in the middle? Beiping has long been premeditated, but what about Wu? Will this Taiping Mansion also be slaughtered•••••• but it's really uncertain, didn't Mr. Lin and Zhijing slip away early.

Li Xiaoqi's worries were fulfilled the next day, and Wu also declared war on Liang, and now Wu is still fighting with South Vietnam in the south, and then declaring war with Liang.

The Taiping Mansion suddenly fell silent, and there was a deep panic and worry hidden in the silence.

Li Zongliang didn't let Li Xiaoqi go to Changfeng Building to sell dates again, Li Xiaoqi was always inexplicably uneasy in his heart, and he didn't dare to sell dates anymore, and after settling the account with Wen Niangzi, he followed Wei Shuisheng in and out every day, drinking tea and reading quietly.

But the time to come is still coming, this night, Li Zonggui just arrived home, this time, Changfeng Building closed a lot earlier, he arrived home more than a quarter of an hour earlier than usual, as if he had been waiting for a long time, following Li Zonggui's steps, the chief of security accompanied four or five officers and soldiers into the courtyard, went straight to the door of the Li family's house, pushed the door and broke in, the chief of the security guard bowed his waist, and introduced to the officers and soldiers who looked like a small leader: "It's these four, all of them are good kung fu and good bodies, you see, I'll tell you, we won't fool the master's messenger." ”

Li Zongliang greeted him, Wei Shuisheng stretched out his hand and pulled Li Yimei and protected her behind him, Li Erhuai's eyes aimed at the long stick standing in the corner of the house, Li Zonggui gently stabbed Li Erhuai, signaling the knives and guns in the hands of his officers and soldiers, Li Zongliang laughed with him, and asked: "Chief, this master, I don't know what to order." ”

The little leader put his hands behind his back, shook his upper body, and slowly circled around Li Zongliang twice, looking up and down while turning, nodded with satisfaction, stood still, and turned his head to look at Wei Shuisheng three again, showing a smile on his face, and turned around and patted the chief on the shoulder: "Not bad!" I will ask you for a reward, okay, you Baoli, these four strong men are enough! ”

The chief of the security department breathed a long sigh of relief, and he didn't dare to look at Li Zongliang and the others, so he bowed his waist: "That person will be handed over to the master, I have to hurry up and watch the cashier, so I will go first." ”

"Go, go, go!" The little leader waved his hand casually, turned his head to look at Li Zongliang and the others with a pale face, and said, "Okay, brother, don't cry and mourn!" It's not a bad thing to be a soldier and eat food, just your body, and so many brothers to support you, after a few battles, you will be promoted, and you will go back to get a wife or something, but it is not better than anything! Hurry up and pack up and go with you! ”

Li Zongliang grabbed the little leader and asked, "Brother has something I want to ask,"

"Ask, we'll be brothers in the future, just ask!"

"This chief of the security department counts the four of us brothers in their insurance, even if it is enough for this husband?"

"Well, yes! That's it! The little leader said nonchalantly and angrily: "Brother, if you don't take a foreigner like you, who will you take it?" Okay, okay, don't ask about this, maybe this is your luck, look at your body, ah? If you know kung fu again, it's a pity not to eat food for soldiers! Let's go! ”
