Li Zongliang didn't dare to take it lightly, and sent people to keep an eye on the Beiping army, and within a few days, he heard the letter of the Wu-Liang border battle, and the Wu army set up cards everywhere to intercept the displaced people of the Liang State, and the Wu State couldn't even take care of its own people, how could it have the strength to manage the displaced people of other countries!

Li Xiaoqi breathed a long sigh of relief, rested quietly on the mountain for a few days, and sat under the eaves of Mr. Fan's door when he had nothing to do, sometimes reading books, sometimes listening to the sound of reading books in the courtyard in a daze. These children, these women and children, there is really something going on, they can't run fast, this is a big group of burdens, where to settle?

Mr. Fan slowly stretched out a bowl of tea soup and handed it to Li Xiaoqi: "Xiaoqi has been very worried about the past two days. ”

"Hmm." Li Xiaoqi took the tea soup, took two sips slowly, and motioned to the children who were reading and writing under the porch: "They are always nested in the mountains, and it is not a way to nest in this bandit's den." ”

"Isn't there a lot of stability on the mountain?" Mr. Fan asked clearly, Li Xiaoqi put down the tea bowl, this old Fan is an understanding person, and talking to him is a lunch: "Well, something happened, the war between Beiping and Liang is over, and when the Beiping army frees up its hands, I am afraid that it will come to suppress the mountain." Li Xiaoqi said in a low voice, hung his head, and sighed heavily: "Maybe the prince of Beiping took the Liang Kingdom, and he may forget the festival when he is happy, but ?????? Maybe it's inevitable. ”

Mr. Fan looked at Li Xiaoqi with a calm gaze, was silent for a long time, and then asked, "What are your plans?" ”

"At their age," Li Xiaoqi pointed to the group of children: "If you can find a college with a rigorous atmosphere and good learning to study for a few years, first, you can listen to the knowledge of several schools and learn more, and learn from everyone's strengths, and second, you can make some like-minded friends. ”

"Well, that's exactly what you're talking about." Mr. Fan replied in a calm voice,

"Sir is well-informed, sir, which academy is suitable?" Li Xiaoqi looked at Mr. Fan and asked, Mr. Fan leaned back slightly, half-closed his eyes, thought about it carefully, opened his eyes, looked at Li Xiaoqi and suggested: "The Moon Cave Academy on Jicui Mountain outside Taiping Mansion is a suitable place, I also studied there for two or three years when I was young, and now the mountain chief has never been an emperor, and his knowledge and character are respected." ”

"That's the best!" Li Xiaoqi clapped his hands in surprise and agreed: "Shopkeeper Sun happened to be doing business in Taiping Mansion, and a while ago he also sent a letter, saying that he had opened a tea shop, and the business was not bad, I was trying to send Fifth Brother Zhao over to help him, if so, simply bring a few more people, escort these children over together, and send them to the Moon Cave Academy to study, so that if there is anything usually, Shopkeeper Sun can also take care of one or two, um." Li Xiaoqi said as he quickly turned his mind: "Sir, do you want to let the children go alone, or let their families go with them?" ”

"Let's go over together, there is a small town at the foot of Jicui Mountain, called Cuishanji, and the food is much cheaper than that of Taiping Mansion, so that they can live in groups there, and usually do needlework for the students on the mountain, and they can earn a ration money." Mr. Fan looked at Li Xiaoqi with a clear face, and replied slowly, Li Xiaoqi looked at Mr. Fan and said frankly: "This is the best, does that gentleman want to follow?" ”

"I'm not going! I'll stay on this mountain, and I'll be the one who should have died a long time ago, and I'm not afraid. Mr. Fan shook his head categorically, Li Xiaoqi looked at Mr. Fan in distress, swallowed his saliva, and changed his mind a few times, he stayed on this mountain, and this group of people who were sent out to study and accompany him had nothing to do with the mountain! Even if she doesn't care, the eldest brother won't care, the eldest brother ?????? Forget it, let's take a long-term look at this matter, look at the long-term, this Fan family's affairs, now or in the future, always have to be managed, just take care of it.

"If the gentleman can't follow along, they can't be orphans and widows outside, or they ??????." Li Xiaoqi counted the people on the mountain one by one: "Or, let Sister Zhang and Zhang Tiemu follow over to take care of one or two, is it appropriate for Mr. to see it?" ”

Mr. Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, his face relaxed, and he nodded in response: "That's naturally the best, Sister Zhang is steady and careful, and has a little knowledge, which is very appropriate!" ”

Li Xiaoqi tilted his head to look at Mr. Fan, and said with a smile: "Speaking of Sister Zhang, there is just something annoying Mr. Yucheng. ”

Mr. Fan seemed to guess what Li Xiaoqi was going to say, with a slight smile on his face, he looked at Li Xiaoqi gently, and motioned to her, Li Xiaoqi bent his eyes and smiled: "Mr. must have seen it a long time ago, there are two pairs of excellent marriages in the middle, although they can't get married during the filial piety period, but it is better to set it earlier, what Mr. said?" ”

"Two pairs?" Mr. Fan was stunned, looked at Li Xiaoqi and said hesitantly: "Is there another pair?" ”

"Don't you think it's appropriate, sir?" Li Xiaoqi asked as if he was a little surprised, Mr. Fan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Xiaoyi, his eyes and face were relaxed and gentle: "This is also what Brother Ling meant?" ”

"Hmm!" Li Xiaoqi squinted his eyes and smiled, and replied heavily, Mr. Fan leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and thought about it, and sighed softly: "Brother Ling's character and knowledge are very human, and there is a sister like you, but my Fan family is high." ”

Li Xiaoqi lowered his eyelids, suddenly laughed, raised his head, looked at Mr. Fan with narrow eyes, and said seriously: "Where does Mr. want to go, the two pairs I am talking about are Brother Erhuai and Sister Zhang, as well as Zhang Tiemu and Mrs. Sun, Mr. is an elder, but I just want to ask Mr. to be a matchmaker, where does Mr. want to go?!" ”

Mr. Fan looked at Li Xiaoqi in amazement, Li Xiaoqi looked at Mr. Fan's face and finally showed an expression other than indifference, and he bent his eyes and smiled: "Okay, let Mr. say this, these two pairs have suddenly become three pairs, what a great joy!" ”

Mr. Fan immediately realized that he was teased by this little girl, and couldn't help but smile: "You girl." ”

"Little joke, don't mind sir!" Li Xiaoqi stood up, arched his hand, bent his knees again, sat down and said with a smile: "Is this a family matter, it is good if the two main masters are willing, and I will go to Sister Zhang later, and ask her to visit Sister Fan, if Sister Fan is willing in her heart, this matter, Mr. is willing anyway." Mr. Fan smiled and nodded.

After two days, the mountain was lively and lively with Li Zongliang and Mrs. Fan, Li Erhuai and Sister Zhang, Zhang Tiemu and Mrs. Sun, the engagement of the three pairs, and then, the mountain was busy packing up and preparing to send Sister Zhang and Zhang Tiemu, Aunt Liu San's family of three, Sister-in-law Wu with a son and a daughter, Aunt Wan Liutang with her grandchildren, Qian Si's sister-in-law and son Mingdong, Mr. Fan sent the old housekeeper Ding Fu to take care of him, and Brother Zhao who went to help Sun's shopkeeper do business to Taiping Mansion, Li Zongliang and Wei Shuisheng discussed carefully, It was decided to let Wei Shuisheng, Li Erhuai and Lu Feng take five or six people including Sun Qidi to escort them all the way, Li Xiaoqi carefully calculated the accounts, drew two thousand taels of silver, and handed them to Sister Zhang, asking her to go to Cuishan to buy a house, and keep the rest for emergencies, and took another thousand taels of silver to Brother Zhao, so that he could bring Sun Shopkeeper to add running water, or do some other business.

Mr. Fan solemnly made an auspicious day, a group of seven or eight cars set off to Taiping Mansion, Li Xiaoqi stood on the top of the mountain, seeing the group of cars and people gradually moving away and could not be seen, finally relieved, sent this group of women and children away, her heart was much more relaxed at once, next, it is time to quickly let people build a few houses in the valley hidden in the depths of Beacon Mountain, hide some food and goods, and build a hidden third cave there.

Li Xiaoqi didn't go to Tang County anymore, and he didn't go around to play anymore, he concentrated on watching people clean up the valley every day, Li Zonggui followed Cheng Wang, and took everyone on the mountain to work. In the busy summer, at the beginning of July, Wei Shuisheng and others returned to the mountain, he and Li Erhuai, Lu Feng and others, sent people to Taiping Mansion, and looked at the purchase of a good house, the children entered the Moon Cave Academy, helped settle down, and then set off to rush back, Wei Shuisheng and Mr. Fan talked in detail about how to go to school, how to settle, how to be, Mr. Fan's heart was completely put down, those children were the hope of their Fan clan.

Lu Feng returned to the mountain, slept happily for a few days, and wanted to go to Tang County for a walk, but in front of Li Xiaoyi, his tongue was knotted, and he didn't dare to mention this, so he had to say that he instigated Li Xiaoqi and wanted to go with her light, Li Xiaoqi watched him jump up and down coldly, and held him back for two or three days, but sent him to Zhengcheng to listen to Wu Liang's battle situation, Lu Feng wilted for a long time, wilted, and was worried about where to listen to this Wu Liang battle situation, Wisteria House? It's a good place, take a look at the peony by the way, well, forget it, last time it was a bit big, in case you miss someone and get caught, your face is not good-looking, just run away and go to Liangdi to see! Lu Feng made up his mind, and the next day he carried a bow and a gun, and led the horse down the mountain to inquire about the battle.

Just after the beginning of the second day, Lu Feng rushed back to the mountain in a panic, Li Zongliang and others hurriedly rushed out, and Lu Feng stared at Li Xiaoqi and shouted: "It's broken!" Bad thing! This Liang Guo is too unscrupulous! said that it was destroyed by Beiping half a month ago! That's not what I'm talking about! That prince, it's time to enter the country of Wu! I almost hit it head-on! You said that if he didn't go back to Beiping, what would he do in Wu? ”

Li Xiaoyi's face turned pale, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Li Zongliang, and then hurriedly turned his head to look at Lu Feng and asked, "What do you mean by fast forward?" How far is it going? How long will it take to get to Zhengcheng? ”

"Dawn, at most dawn, you can get there! They are walking too fast. Lu Feng replied with a bitter face, Li Xiaoqi took a breath and was stupid.
