Li Xiaoqi looked up at Mr. Liang with a calm face, and sure enough, another one wanted to take her as a slave and a maid, Li Xiaoqi blinked his eyes and asked seriously: "You second prince, are you a concubine?" ”

"Yes!" Mr. Liang replied with a smile, Li Xiaoqi opened his eyes wide, looked at Mr. Liang, and his expression became more serious: "Didn't you say that the colt was dying?" He's dying, how can I follow him on an errand and ask for a career? ”

Mr. Liang choked on a mouthful of saliva in his throat, and coughed a few times: "You •••••• say this, it's okay, or you follow me first, let's go back to Beiping Mansion first, if the second prince is good, you will follow him on an errand, if he is not well, you will follow me." ”

Li Xiaoqi tilted his head, looked at Mr. Liang and laughed: "That day in Changfeng Building, after your second prince said the sentence 'The wine shop also has such a character', did you remember to get me to call your second prince?" Today coincided with it. ”

Mr. Liang was stunned for a while, reacted in a moment, breathed a long sigh of relief, showed a smile on his face, and said happily: "I really read it right, Xiao Mi is a very smart person, and it is refreshing to talk to you, following the second prince, it is not considered to have wronged you, even I don't listen to the second prince?" Today's coincidences are also our fate. ”

Mr. Liang's cool and frank honesty made Li Xiaoqi stunned, and he was stunned for a moment before shaking his head and categorically refused: "I understand this kindness of Mr., but our brothers and sisters just want to live a stable life, and this place is not far from Tanqiao, so Mr. will put me down here." “

"Your brother has gone to serve as a soldier, if you don't meet me, you will also be arrested, how can you live a stable life? Think about it, little one. Mr. Liang sincerely persuaded Li Xiaoyi.

"My brother will come back as a soldier, everyone has their own ambitions, Mr. doesn't need to persuade him anymore, Xiao Yi will get off here." Mr. Liang looked at Li Xiaoyi, couldn't help but laugh with her, and said gently: "I'll send you to Tanqiao, it's almost there, Xiaoyi, don't be too stubborn, think about my words." ”

Li Xiaoqi shook his head with a smile and stopped answering. The car paused, and the guards outside reported in a deep voice: "Master Liang, the Tan Bridge has arrived." Li Xiaoqi was about to jump out of the car with Hu Biscuit in his arms, and Mr. Liang said with a smile: "Don't thank you and leave?" That's not good. ”

Li Xiaoqi stopped, looked back at Mr. Liang, and replied with a smile: "When I traveled to the Yama Hall in the past, I saw a couplet, so I gave it to Mr. Liang as a thank you gift." Li Xiaoqi paused, smiled with crooked eyes, lowered his voice and said: "If you have a heart for goodness, although you are good, you will not be rewarded; If you do evil without intention, you will not be punished for evil. ”

Mr. Liang listened intently to the couplet, and read it in a low voice, Li Xiaoqi had already jumped out of the car, holding the Hu cake and running quickly into the crowd, Mr. Liang beckoned to the person who looked like a famous man, and whispered a few words, the chief nodded his head, flashed away from the team, and followed Li Xiaoqi into the crowd.

Mr. Liang twisted his beard, read Li Xiaoyi's couplet twice, smiled and shook his head, this girl, is saying that he has a heart for goodness, so don't thank you, this couplet is a little interesting, I don't know which Yama Hall she saw it, she is also literate, it is really rare, 'when I traveled to the Yama Hall in the past', this is interesting.

Li Xiaoqi went straight to the vegetable market like a fish in the crowd, turned around twice in the vegetable market, flashed into a corner, stood quietly for more than a quarter of an hour, and felt that someone should be thrown off by her, so she took off the outermost jacket, wrapped the cake tightly in her arms, flashed out of the corner, and ran out to the east gate, the hour was not early, she didn't dare to delay any longer, the eldest brother said that they would escape early in the morning, this escape, there must be someone chasing behind, after they would meet, they had to hurry away from this Taiping Mansion.

Li Xiaoqi hugged the jacket wrapped in Hu Biscuits, mixed in the bustling crowd and went out of the city, went around two circles, and went straight to the Land Temple.

The land temple is two or three miles away from the east gate of Taiping Mansion, there is no village in front of it, there is no shop in the back, it is quite remote, the very small three-bay room, the tree in front of the temple has a root more than one zhang high, the bare flagpole, in the temple, the land man and the land woman sit upright with a smile, the body is draped in a red and green inferior silk cloak, the cloak is full of dust, and the big incense burner half a person high in front of the statue is full of cold incense ash. Li Xiaoqi stood under the flagpole, vigilantly looking back and forth, left and right, and saw that there was no half a figure in the silence, so he flashed into the land temple, circled around the idol twice, and sighed softly, eldest brother, they haven't arrived yet, that's good, she waits for them, can't let them wait for her.

Li Xiaoqi came out of the back door of the temple, looked left and right and turned around, the view in front of the temple is excellent, but not far behind the temple is a dense forest, and then they will go to the east, just in the direction of the forest, if someone chases over, there is a forest better than anything else, at least don't be afraid of bows and arrows. Li Xiaoqi turned around in a half circle behind the temple, and she didn't dare to stay outside more, she could see others, and others could naturally see her.

Entering the land temple, Li Xiaoqi turned several times in front and back, left and right, but did not find a place to hide, just such a small three-bay room, in the middle of which sat the land lord and the land wife, the surroundings were empty, and there was no hidden place at all! Li Xiaoqi was so anxious that she turned around, she had to find a place to hide when she came in and couldn't see it, she didn't have the power to protect herself, almost a living thing could bully her, and she was safe only by hiding.

Li Xiaoqi looked around with his head up, his eyes fell on the gray silk cloak of the idol, his eyes lit up, he was thin and small, the cat was under the cloak, he must not be able to see the outside, but he could see the outside from the cloak! Li Xiaoqi circled around the statue, looking for a place to climb up, the back was too high, she tried, she couldn't climb up at all, turned to the front, with the incense burner, it should be ••••••, no matter what, she has to climb up! Li Xiaoqi lifted the cake in his arms to the statue platform first, tried to climb on the incense burner, stood up tremblingly, rushed over to reach the knees of the statue with both hands, bit his lip, and pushed the incense burner up hard, and finally climbed to the statue platform, but the incense burner was kicked to the ground by her, and the ashes of the incense burner went straight to the door of the temple.

Li Xiaoqi couldn't take care of it anymore, holding the Hu cake, squeezing between the land man and the land woman, gently picked up the land man and the land woman's cloak, compared it, and carefully got under the land man's cloak, the land man's butt is smaller, and the place under his arm is larger.

Li Xiaoqi curled up his body, clinging to the arm of the land lord, slowly adjusted his breathing, listened attentively to the movement outside, and waited restlessly for the eldest brother to come over.

I don't know how long it has been, Li Xiaoqi listened intently to the movement outside, while carefully moving her numb hands and feet from time to time, and suddenly grunted softly in her stomach, Li Xiaoqi swallowed her saliva, she was hungry, Li Xiaoqi groped for half a piece of Hu Biscuit from the jacket, and slowly took two bites, the dry Hu Biscuit chewed her mouth dry, Li Xiaoqi didn't dare to eat it anymore, and stuffed the Hu Biscuit back, if you eat Hu Biscuit and are thirsty again, it will be even worse, and you will never be able to come up again.

Li Xiaoqi was next to the statue, hungry, thirsty and anxious, he even took a nap, slept for a while, and woke up, Li Xiaoqi listened attentively to the surrounding movements, slowly moved his numb hands and feet, reached out to pick up the cloak and picked up the cracks, and looked out of the hall, it was already sunset outside, and countless fears bubbled out from the bottom of Li Xiaoqi's heart, and then dispersed, did the eldest brother not run out, or did •••••• not run here? Li Xiaoqi shuddered, and said 'bah' repeatedly, how could he have such a thought?! It's really time to 'bah', Li Xiaoqi 'bah' twice, closed his eyes, and prayed secretly: "Father-in-law of the land, mother-in-law of the land, this is your territory, please bless the eldest brother, Brother Shuisheng, Brother Erhuai, and Brother Guizi to receive me safely and smoothly, and then bless us to escape safely and smoothly!" Go back and wait for me to develop, reshape the golden body for you two, and then build a three-entry yard for you to live, well, and then shape a pair of golden boys and girls under the knees of Chenghuan, you must bless and bless! ”

As if the father-in-law of the land heard the prayer, there was a heavy and rapid footstep outside, Li Xiaoqi suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly looked out of the hall through the gap in the cloak, Li Zongliang was sweating profusely at the door of the hall, Li Xiaoqi excitedly threw off the cloak, stood up with the statue and shouted: "Incense ash!" Feet! Big brother, I'm here! ”

Li Zongliang stubbornly retracted his feet, dodged the pile of incense ash that almost crossed the threshold, carried a spear, flashed in close to the door of the hall, rushed to the statue, turned around, Li Xiaoqi jumped on Li Zongliang's back neatly, holding a jacket wrapped in Hu cake in one hand, and wrapping Li Zongliang's neck with one hand, Li Zongliang held Li Xiaoqi with one hand, and rushed out to the back door of the hall.

Before turning the statue, a footstep followed closely, Li Xiaoqi turned his head, and saw two or three officers and soldiers carrying bright swords, chasing all the way into the land temple, stepping into the soft incense ash pile, and suddenly the incense ash was scattered, choking the three of them closed their eyes, and jumped to the side in embarrassment, coughing while jumping, Li Zongliang got this gap, and ran out of the land temple with Li Xiaoqi on his back, just rushed out a few steps, Wei Shuisheng carried a spear, and rushed from the right side of the land temple to Li Zongliang's side, left, After Li Erhuai danced a long stick and broke it, Li Zonggui held the knife and chased after him.

Li Xiaoqi let out a long sigh of relief, bent his eyes, and showed a smile on his face, plus himself, five, no less!

The five people converged in one place, after Wei Shuisheng and Li Erhuai broke off, they ran wildly to the forest behind the Land Temple, and behind, several officers and soldiers dressed in incense ash rushed out of the Land Temple, and met more than a dozen people from the left and right sides of the temple, closely chasing Wei Shuisheng, Li Erhuai, and Li Zonggui, waving their sabers, and staring at a few people to chase towards the forest.

In the distance, four or five horses also galloped from far and near.
