Tai Chi Temple.

Li Er sat on the head with a majestic face, looked at Qin Huaidao who returned from the salute, a chain mail had not been removed, there was still a lot of dirty blood on the battle armor, the whole person had lost a lot of weight, and his heart was inexplicably moved.

But after experiencing the prince's rebellion, Li Er's temperament changed greatly, he no longer trusted him unreservedly, and even began to consider that Qin Huaidao was a great meritorious, and his high position would affect his own country.

The prince will rebel, why can't the son-in-law?

But it didn't happen, it was just a guess, and it couldn't be revealed, and it was very uncomfortable to hold it in my heart.

Qin Huaidao could see that Li Er's attitude was not as enthusiastic as before, and he had a guess in his heart, thinking that He'er didn't know where to suffer, he was even more irritable, and endured his anger and routinely went through the process of praising his merits, answered a few questions, and then presented the detailed battle report and merit book.

Li Er also rewarded according to the rules, but there was no substantive reward.

According to the theory of military merit, no one can find fault with rewarding the county king, and he is also the county king with real power, unlike Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong and other royal families who hang the title of the county king with a false position, the real power of the county king is the real one person under the ten thousand, above ten thousand people, Li Er's heart has changed greatly, and he will not be rewarded.

But if you don't reward it, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers in the world, Li Er looked at Qin Huaidao, so as a difficult situation, he hoped that Qin Huaidao would take the initiative to resign like last time.

Qin Huaidao didn't want to be an official in the first place, the reason why he hung his official position was just to protect himself, to take advantage of the situation to kill the enemy, and on the way back, he had already thought that Li Erxiang had nothing to reward, and he was ready to excuse himself, but after He'er's incident, Qin Huaidao changed his mind.

Li Er hasn't been able to find out about He'er for so long, who knows what else is hidden behind this, without official position and power, he doesn't know how to die.

Facing Li Er's embarrassed expression, Qin Huaidao was disdainful in his heart, but said quietly on his face: "Shengshang, the process and details of the counterinsurgency are recorded in the battle report, and the merits of the soldiers are also recorded in detail, I implore the Shengshang to verify and issue the reward to the soldiers as soon as possible, the ministers have not slept a peaceful sleep for several days, their energy is not good, and their physical losses are serious, so I implore them to go back to the house to rest for a while." ”

Li Er felt Qin Huaidao's dissatisfaction and alienation, and his guess became stronger and stronger, this is pampered, arrogant, and without imperial power, but Li Ercheng's mansion is very deep, and he suddenly smiled enthusiastically: "The hussar general has worked hard all the way, go back first and rest for a few days, and my reward will come later." ”

"Thank you!" Qin Huaidao bowed and withdrew from the Taiji Palace.

The ministers are all old foxes, and they also feel that Qin Huaidao is wrong, and the harmony between the monarchs and ministers is not as good as before, but they are not revealed, and they quickly calculate the pros and cons in their hearts, and choose a side.

In the crowd, Li Jing, Fang Xuanling and other princes secretly exchanged glances.

Li Daozong thought that his daughter had been ordered by the Holy Order to marry Qin Huaidao, and they would be a family in the future, and he wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Li Jing frowning and thinking, his heart was heavy, and his heart moved, and he swallowed the words in his mouth.

Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong are friends of life and death, seeing that Li Er is combing Qin Huaidao, he can't bear it, and wants to say a few words, but as soon as he speaks, he was quietly pulled by Li Jing's sleeve, Cheng Chumo was a little confused, but he understood that Li Jing was stopping, and out of trust, he swallowed the words.

The main hall became oppressive.

The victory should have been happy, but they were silent at this moment.

Li Er also realized something, his cold gaze looked around, and he became more and more worried, now there are so many important ministers who are biased towards Qin Huaidao, given time, how can it be good?

For the sake of the Li family, Li Er did not flinch, but he did not break it, and found an excuse and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, Prince Li Chengqian actually rebelled, my heart hurts, and I have no intention of doing anything, so let's step down first." ”

"Yes!" The crowd clenched their fists and left.

……

Qin Huaidao didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly returned to the mansion, summoned Xue Rengui and Jia Youcai in the study, asked about the details of the kidnapping, and after learning about the recent events in the mansion, he asked the guards who had seen the palace maid to come over, took out paper and pen, and hand-drew sketches in the other party's description.

Character profile is a professional job, it is difficult to draw it at one time, the eyes are big or small, the eyebrows are thin or big, the ears are big or small, and the lips are ......

The identity of the palace maid is the key, it must be found, there is no surveillance, no photography, you can only draw it, and then follow the map, in order to find the palace maid, Qin Huaidao fights, it is not right to draw a good one, put it aside and redraw it, tirelessly.

One after another, a dozen of them were drawn.

Finally, after several members of the Zhuang team who had seen the palace maid agreed that it was completely consistent, Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief, signaled the team to leave, and continued to prepare a few spares, just as someone came to report that Li Jing was coming.

Qin Huaidao had already guessed that Li Jing was coming back, and motioned to the housekeeper to go out to greet him and paint by himself.

Li Jing came in and saw a table full of drawings, a little surprised, glanced at Jia Youcai and Xue Rengui, the two of them left willingly, and took the door with him, Li Jing glanced at Qin Huaidao, who was concentrating on drawing, and did not make a sound to disturb.

Qin Huaidao said hello and continued to concentrate on drawing, and after drawing a picture, he handed it to Li Jing: "Shibo, this is the palace maid, according to the oral description of the person I have seen, I missed it." ”

The people on the drawings were lifelike, Li Jing observed for a moment, and said solemnly: "Virtuous nephew, the attitude of the saint ......"

"Besides, the top priority is to find someone." Qin Huaidao interrupted.

Li Jing realized that Qin Huaidao's heart was bright, he was no longer worried, thought about it, and said: "There was no image before, it was very troublesome to find, but now with this drawing, it is a good way, the old man is worried that the matter has passed for a long time, and this palace maid may have been wiped out, and there is no way to trace it." ”

"All you need is someone who knows who's who." Qin Huaidao said coldly.

"How are you going to find out?" Li Jing asked rhetorically.

A gust of wind blew through the window, and the frightened branches and leaves ran in a panic, shaking the sunshine all over the house, and also shaking Qin Huaidao's heart, thinking of He'er's situation, I don't know what kind of pain I was suffering, thinking of the child in my womb, a wave of anger rushed to the top of my head, and asked in a cold voice: "Can you ask Uncle Cheng to help search the whole city again?" ”

"This requires the consent of the saint, and the portrait is given to the old man, and the old man will do it." Li Jing said and put the portrait close to him, hesitated for a moment, and still asked: "This time the rebellion is a great achievement, but it is also a high achievement, and there is no reward, you should be able to see the meaning of the saint, what are your plans?" ”

"That's it, if the saint wants to reward, take it, if he doesn't want to reward, forget it, don't ask for it, don't refuse, and resign, the younger generation also wants to see the saint's attitude." Qin Huaidao said coldly.

"This is against the courtesy of a king...... Forget it, since you have no will, just follow your heart, no matter what, the old man will support you, the prince rebels, the court will definitely re-establish the prince, someone is already operating in secret, and wants the return of King Wei, what do you think about this? Li Jing asked.

Qin Huaidao sneered: "King Wei has no play, the Holy Lord will choose King Jin." ”

"King Jin, are you sure?"

Li Jing was taken aback, seeing Qin Huaidao's determined face, he thought for a moment, and continued: "King Jin is young, although he has been in contact with the Holy Lord more frequently than before, but to say that King Jin is a bit far-fetched, how do you judge?" ”

"The King of Jin is benevolent and filial, the King of Wei is hypocritical, the Holy Lord does not want the Xuanwumen incident to recur, the King of Wei is elected, and several princes are not allowed to die well, but the King of Jin is different."

"This remark is deafening, in a word, the virtuous nephew is high-minded, but the old man is in good shape." Li Jing suddenly realized, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Since you are the King of Jin, why don't you plan in advance?" ”

"Whew-"

Qin Huaidao sneered disdainfully, King Jin is good, and after taking the throne, he also created a prosperous era of Kaiyuan, but they are all Meng'en, all of them rely on the help of the courtiers left by Li Er, as long as they don't die, whoever goes up can create a prosperous era of Kaiyuan.

It turns out that the king of Jin later began to die, and the peerless licking dog king could not be pulled back, and finally the country changed hands.

Can such a person be trusted?

But what didn't happen Qin Huaidao was inconvenient to say, and he didn't want to say it, he just wanted to live well, just don't bother, seeing that Li Jing wanted to ask, he interrupted: "Shibo, Brother Li Dejian is not suitable for the conspiracy and calculation of the imperial court, it is better to quit, be a rich man, marry a few more wives and concubines, and wait for the current situation." ”

"Wait for the situation?"

Li Jing is not stupid, he heard the subtext behind it, that is, he is not optimistic about the present, and he will talk about it later, as for the reason, he will not say it if he asks, he simply does not ask: "You have decided?" ”

"It's decided." Qin Huaidao said solemnly.

"Okay, let him come to you tomorrow and continue to run the caravan." Li Jing got up and said.

"Xie Shibo trusts, unless I die, I will ensure my brother's wealth and wealth!" Qin Huaidao got up and said solemnly.

Li Jing glanced at Qin Huaidao deeply, smiled with satisfaction, said no more words, and turned to leave.
