At noon, Li Shaozhi hiccuped, picked the minced meat between his teeth, and led two guards to walk on the street. Lunch was invited by the two guards behind him, as the head of the guards of the Han Palace, his lunch was always invited by the guards in turn, and he had already eaten all the big and small restaurants in the capital, and he felt that he could never eat anything new.

He gulped the minced meat in his mouth, threw the toothpick aside, and led the two guards to the Han Palace. Scheduling the time for the guards to stand guard every day is his only job now.

From a distance, he saw a bright red figure beside the gate of the Han Wang's Mansion, next to Wang Meng and Zhang Qiang, the guards on the morning shift today.

Li Shaozhi squinted his eyes and looked at it, it was a woman in red dressed in short clothes.

He immediately came to his senses, walked up quickly, and asked the woman, "Who are you?" Why are you standing at the door of the Han Palace? ”

The woman in red looked directly at him and said without humility or arrogance: "I want to see King Han." ”

Li Shaozhi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, although King Han was just an idle king, but he was also a prince. The woman looked at him with sharp eyes, obviously not taking herself seriously!

He shyly held his round belly and said arrogantly: "How can the prince be seen casually by a woman like you." What do you want to see him? ”

Ai Li saw that he was official, and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but in order to see Wulian, he still said reluctantly: "The singer he just bought from the Spring Rain Qingge Fang in Manlou is my lost brother." I want to ask him to return the man, and I will find a way to pay him back with the ransom money. ”

When Li Shaozhi heard her say this, he knew in his heart that it turned out to be the sister of a singer who wanted to come to the palace to ask for someone.

He immediately changed his face and reprimanded sharply: "How can the person who bought the prince pay you back?" Besides, the prince will still care about your money! You go! Don't always stand here, let others see it, and think that something is happening, which is not in line with the reputation of the Han King. ”

Ai Li was stunned for a moment, frowning, thinking about what he said.

Li Shaozhi saw that she still refused to leave, so he stepped forward and pushed her vigorously.

Ai Li was thinking about it, and didn't notice him, just a natural flash of his body, instinctively avoiding his push.

Li Shaozhi didn't push her, he used too much force, and almost had a "dog eating", and the guards next to him hurriedly came over to help him.

Li Shaozhi was furious, he angrily pushed away the guards who were helping him, and raised his fist to hit Ai Li's back.

The guards on both sides were startled, and were about to remind Ai Li that Li Shaozhi's fist had already smashed into Ai Li's back.

Hearing only a muffled sound, Li Shaozhi retreated from his own protective force, and "Tengtengteng" took a few steps backwards before he stood firm.

Ai Li took a blow and looked back, the arrogant guard just now had a face as swollen as a pig's liver, staring at her viciously.

Li Shaozhi shouted viciously on the side: "I am the head of the guard of the Han Palace, don't think that if you know some martial arts, you can spread wild here!" He didn't expect that this Jianghu woman's martial arts were so extraordinary!

Ai Li's eyes lit up and said, "Are you saying that if I win against you, I can see King Han?" ”

Li Shaozhi laughed angrily and said, "You want to win against me? Don't ask me who my dad is! ”

Ai Li said strangely: "Fighting with you is not fighting with your father, I don't care who your father is." ”

Li Shaozhi said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll let you see what I'm capable of!" ”

In fact, although Li Shaozhi was able to become the head of the guard of the Han Palace, he still had some ability. He put away his heart to underestimate the enemy, put on a posture, and gathered his strength in his palm.

Ai Li just stood casually in place and watched him, waiting for him to attack.

At this time, Li Shaozhi had gathered his strength, he shouted loudly, and rushed towards Ai Li.

Ai Li flashed lightly and dodged sideways.

Li Shaozhi turned around and struck at her again.

Ai Li dodged again.

Li Shaozhi used all his strength to attack for the third time.

Ai Li was still a flash, and he easily avoided it.

Li Shaozhi stopped, panting, and looked at Ai Li.

Ai Li asked lightly, "Do you still want to fight?" ”

Li Shaozhi already understood that this woman was not something he could defeat, and when he saw that Ai Li did not fight back, he thought that she was a woman in the rivers and lakes after all, and he did not dare to be an enemy of the official.

An imperceptible gleam flashed in his eyes, and he drew his waist knife, dancing out a white sword light, and slashed at Ai Li.

When Ai Li saw his knife in front of him, he tapped his toes, and his body shook, floating out of his knife light.

Li Shaozhi missed a knife, and another knife came, slashing at Ai Li's vital point one after another.

Ai Li's eyes showed a little impatience, and she asked him again and again, hoping that he would retreat. Unexpectedly, he became more and more energetic.

"You're not done!" Finally, Ai Li's already little patience was exhausted by him, she raised her leg and kicked him in the wrist, Li Shaozhi screamed, and the knife in his hand fell in response. It doesn't matter if the martial arts are bad, just practice. But it's so shameless, it's just a face, and you need to learn a lesson.

"No, disgrace the person who wielded the knife." Ai Li scolded softly. She kicked and broke the joint of Li Shaozhi's right hand, unless she can meet a very clever doctor, Li Shaozhi will never want to hold a knife with his right hand in his life.

Li Shaozhi held his broken wrist, screamed again and again, and scolded in a sad voice: "You rough woman, you must not know who my father is, you wait!" With that, he ran to the street.

Ai Li flew over, stopped in front of him, and said, "Wait! It's not that if you win the battle, you can meet the King of Han. Can you take me to him? ”

Li Shaozhi's face changed greatly, and he stammered: "I'll take you there." After saying that, he screamed to the four guards, "You don't come here quickly!" ”

The four guards immediately ran over and blocked in front of Li Shaozhi, and the tall guard said to Ai Li: "Girl, you come with me first." ”

Ai Li followed him to the gate of the mansion, and Li Shaozhi took the opportunity to run away.

The tall guard said to her, "Girl, you really don't know who Li Shaozhi's father is?" You offended Li Shaozhi, don't say that you have met the King of Han, it is better to leave the capital quickly! ”

On an autumn afternoon, the sun shines down and is so clear that there is no impurity. The wind is slightly cool, dry and pleasant.

Ai Li was walking on the street, and she was persuaded out of the street of Hanwangfu by an inexplicable advice from a tall guard. Although she still didn't know very well, she roughly understood that the head of the guard who had poor martial arts and population just now was the son of the crown prince Zhan Shi Li Gang. Li Gangde is highly respected and is the prince's teacher, so the tall guards are very in awe of his son Li Shaozhi.

Although Ai Li was not afraid of the prince's teacher, but looking at the tall guard's scared look, after all, she had stood with him all morning, and she didn't want to cause trouble for him, so she had to come out first and then think of other ways.

She walked into a roadside diner, ready to fill her stomach first.

Not long after he sat down, Ai Li saw a person hurrying in, looking around the restaurant at the door of the store, obviously looking for someone.

Ai Li took a look, and she knew that person, it was Wei Kun of the Spring Rain Qingge Workshop in the whole building, and the people in the rivers and lakes called it "Lei Zhen Dao".

She was about to open her mouth to greet him, when Wei Kun also saw her and immediately walked over.

"Ai Nuxia, please take a step to speak." Wei Kun walked up to Ai Li and said in a low voice.

Ai Li looked at him and invited, "Is there something wrong?" Sit down and have a meal together. ”

A few years ago, when "Thunder Shock Knife" Wei Kun was still on the rivers and lakes, he had a formal competition with "Flame Knife" Ai Li. Their competition was in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes, although Wei Kun lost in the end, he did not hold a grudge against Ai Li, but admired her. Because of that competition, both sides have gained in martial arts.

Wei Kun pulled a chair, sat down at Ai Li's table, and said, "I won't eat the meal." I'm here to tell you something. ”

Ai Li asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wei Kun pulled the chair closer to Ai Li and said in a low voice, "Gongzi Lian is not in the Han Palace. ”

Ai was puzzled: "How do you say this?" ”

Wei Kun continued to whisper: "He was indeed bought last night, but the person who bought him was not the King of Han, but the crown prince. It's a very secret thing, and you must not publicize it. ”

Ai Li frowned: "Prince? She asked, "If it's a secret thing, how do you know about it?" ”

Wei Kun said: "Last night, I sent Lian Gongzi downstairs. I know the person who came to pick him up, and he was a guard in the prince's mansion. The direction of the carriage is also the direction to the Imperial City. ”

Ai Li said hatefully: "It turned out that the boss lady deceived me!" ”

Wei Kun said: "That's not true, the buyer is indeed the steward of the Han family." In the name of the crown prince, it is not convenient to come forward to buy the singer directly, so he pretended to be in the name of the king of Han. I heard that the relationship between the king of Han and the crown prince is good, and if the prince borrows the steward of the Han family, it will be very easy. However, the proprietress is such a shrewd person, she should know about this, and she deliberately said so, but she was also afraid of taking responsibility. ”

Ai Li thought for a moment and said, "Why do you want to tell me such a secret thing?" Aren't you afraid that they will find out against you? ”

Wei Kun smiled slightly and said, "After I met you last night, I made a decision. ”

Ai Li asked, "What decision?" ”

Wei Kun pointed to the package behind him and said, "I have decided to return to the rivers and lakes." Originally, I came to the capital to make a name for myself. But because he had no way to take refuge, he could only serve as a song shop guard here. Although the salary is very high, and there is no need to sleep in the open air, but I am being a slave of others, and when I saw you, I suddenly missed the days when I used to roam the rivers and lakes. ”

Ai Li frowned and looked at him, and said in his heart: His arrival has affected his future fate, is it right or wrong for him?

Wei Kun looked at her, smiled again, and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I have made a lot of money in the capital over the years, it's time to enjoy it." He added: "It's you, many things in the capital are not as good as the rivers and lakes, here is like a vast ocean, the water is unfathomable." The matter of Lian Gongzi is implicated in the crown prince, who is a noble figure above 10,000 people under one person, not comparable to the idle king of Han, let alone someone like me who can compete with this kind of Jianghu people, I advise you not to care. ”

Ai Li nodded and said, "Thank you, I see." ”

Wei Kun said goodbye and left, leaving Ai Li alone to think.
