Chapter 54: The Short-Lived Wife

Eighteen Niang slept well, and early the next morning, she got into a carriage and went to the Rouge River near Chang'an City.

The upper reaches of this river are mostly Qinglou Chu Pavilion, Hua Niang and Xiao Qi Li wash their faces in the river, and the red rouge dyes the river surface red, so it is called the Rouge River, and no one even remembers the name of the pioneer.

The Rouge River is brightly lit at night, and the painting boats all over the river follow the wonderful sound of the singers, all of which are a romantic scene. And in the early morning, there was no one to be seen. There was a small canopy boat parked by the river. Eighteen Niang looked at it, took Xiping, jumped lightly, and got on the boat.

Since drinking on the roof that night, Eighteen Niang accepted Li Ziqi, a new helper who didn't know what to do, and this was the first meeting after their agreement, and they exchanged ideas.

Li Ziqi wore a black robe, and her long, slightly curly hair was tied with a hairrope and hung down at the back of her head. He sat there quietly, looking at the dagger in his hand.

"How's it going?" Eighteen Niang didn't say hello, sat directly opposite him, and asked softly.

Li Ziqi raised his eyes and looked at Eighteen, his blue eyes shrunk, and he regained his calm after an instant.

"I heard that Zhang Wentian asked to marry you." He didn't answer Eighteen Niang's words, but asked affirmatively.

Eighteen Niang was stunned for a moment, and raised her vigilance against Hei Yuwei again, and carefully thought about who was the eyeliner of Li Ziqi in the house, so that he knew everything.

"The Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other. Zhang Wentian was just grateful to me for saving his mother, not really asking for marriage. Does Li Shizi know Zhang Wentian? ”

Otherwise, why did you give the dog such a name, is it really a coincidence?

"Zhao Yi wants him to be the leader of the Hanmen, how can he not know? And this person is the key to bringing down Chaohua. Why should he bite like a mad dog, just trying to figure out the Sacred Heart? Li Ziqi's tone was full of contempt, and it seemed that he really hated Zhang Wentian.

Eighteen Niang lowered her eyes, it was really unimaginable that Zhang Wentian still had such a creation. There are so many people from the poor family, and he fell into Zhao Yi's eyes.

"Is your business done over there? Does Zhao Yi like the story of the heroine of the world very much? "She didn't come to see Li Ziqi today, but she didn't come to raft with him on the river.

Li Ziqi glanced at Shen Shibai deeply and nodded.

"Yesterday he was crowned king, and someone has already sent him in as a congratulatory gift. Is there really an iron ore mine in that mountain? ”

Eighteen Niang nodded, "I dug it out first, and let people close it again, and I didn't dare to move." Now it's just right for people to start making armor, the blueprints of Tang artillery, do you have it? Let him put the industry in the name of Chaohua. ”

"Good. This matter is in a hurry, she has a lot of flaws. Li Ziqi put the dagger in his hand back into the scabbard and said in a deep voice.

"If I had more time, I would have thought about it. It's a pity. "Unfortunately, I don't know when I'm going to die.

The atmosphere in the ship fell silent at once. Li Ziqi lowered his head and did not speak.

Eighteen Niang spoke again: "What do you want to plot from me? ”

"I want to marry you." Plum Stage's voice was muffled.

When Eighteen Niang heard this, she suddenly knocked over the hot tea on the table in a panic, and the tea flowed down the edge of the table. Xiping, who was standing outside the cabin, walked in quickly, wiped the table clean, and retreated.

"Why? Didn't you fall in love with me at first sight? Eighteen Niang played with the cup in her hand, her eyes full of mockery.

Wang Liulang also said the same thing at the beginning, Qingqing, I want to marry you, I fell in love with you at first sight.

At the end of the day, it's still about marrying someone else. Men are always so clever and eloquent. She thought that Li Ziqi was looking for her to be an ally, but she didn't expect to be confused by hue.

Li Ziqi shook his head: "You are as vicious as me, how could I fall in love with you at first sight?" I like girls who are as simple as a blank slate. ”

When he spoke, he held the dagger tightly, lowered his eyes, and didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at Shen Shibanniang.

Eighteen Niang breathed a sigh of relief, her face was a little red, she was really amorous. But Li Ziqi helped her inexplicably, and she couldn't help but think about it too much.

She smiled with interest in her eyes, "If you don't like me, why do you want to marry me?" ”

"You know, I'm the son of the world, and I will only marry the right girl. Where is the simplicity of the noble lady of the high door. You're different, you're going to die soon, and when the time comes, I meet a girl I like, and I can marry to fill the house. Li Ziqi said word by word, and every word of his made Shen Bainiang hear it clearly.

Shen Shibai couldn't help laughing, "I really didn't expect that this short life would become a benefit." Why bother so much, how many do you like, wouldn't it be nice to bring them back as concubines and pampered them? ”

Li Ziqi raised his head violently, looked at Eighteen Niang's eyes, and said seriously: "The person I like will only be my wife." ”

Eighteen Niang was a little panicked.

"And, you know, the backyard of the palace is very complicated, and I need you to clear the way for her first." Li Ziqi lowered his head again and said sullenly.

I don't know why, Eighteen suddenly envied the girl he was going to marry after the plum period. Even though there was no shadow yet, someone began to plan for her.

She was a little hesitant, she was short in life, and she didn't believe that in such a short period of time, she could meet anyone she liked, so the plum period was not a good choice.

He is very good-looking, and he is also a good match for her. She doesn't care about the identity of the Black Feather Guard, who everyone hates, and he can also help her avenge.

Supposedly, she felt that she should say at this time: "After you help me take revenge, I will answer you." ”

But she couldn't speak. I always feel that if I say it, it seems that I am using myself as a bargaining chip and my feelings as a transaction.

Obviously, when she was holding Wang Liulang's jade card for Cui Min, she did not hesitate.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Li Ziqi hurriedly said, "You don't have to answer in a hurry. Chaohua is fine, and the things I promised you haven't been done yet. ”

Shen Eighteen breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I'll think about it. Even if we don't have that fate, I'll come up with a way for you to marry the girl you want to marry. ”

Li Ziqi was stunned, shook his head, and nodded again.

On the Rouge River, there are already ferries haunting, and the captains are singing fishing songs in dialects, clear and long. There was also the fisherman singing with him, and the affection was lingering.

"Little lady, you've landed." Xiping's voice came from outside the warehouse.

Eighteen Niang stood up, "Li Shizi, take your leave." ”

Li Ziqi didn't stand up to send him off, he just pursed his lips, and suddenly said again: "Don't promise Zhang Wentian." He was poor, dark, scolding, and crying. ”

Eighteen Niang couldn't cry or laugh, this person has been talking to her well recently, and she almost forgot that he was not four or six.

"Well, so you're rich, white, and polite, and don't like to cry?" Eighteen Niang teased.

Li Ziqi looked like a fool and said in surprise: "I was originally here." ”

Eighteen Niang waved her hand, lifted her skirt, lightly stepped her feet, and flew to the shore again.

got into the carriage, went to the jewelry store again, and selected a few hairpins for Shen Qin before returning to the house.

When I entered the door, I saw Shen Qin hurriedly standing at the second gate waiting for her: "Eighteen, you are back." Just now there was an edict in the palace, and the emperor wanted to summon you into the palace. ”

Eighteen Niang's heart turned a thousand times, what did the emperor call her into the palace for? Li Ziqi knows, if he does, why doesn't he say it?

Could it be that he knows something?
