But seeing that the corners of Pei Qing's raised mouth were full of banter, he knew that he had been tricked again.

Pei Qing held his chin and waited for his counterattack, but the next second, the figure downstairs flashed, and he appeared next to the railing on the second floor.

She clung to the wall with a single agitation.

As Li Yi approached, Pei Qing's five senses were greatly enlarged, what he saw in his eyes, what he heard in his ears, and what he smelled in his nose...... All of them are aggressive opposite-sex attraction.

Her heart beat quietly quickened.

Li Yi stood where she had just stood and said indifferently: "The slave and maid you taught alone under the class today are from the Three Princes' Mansion in the capital, and the white-haired assassin I killed before is the guest of the Three Princes' Mansion. ”

"......" Pei Qing's peach blossom eyes shone under the light reflected by the dim window, but the curvature of the pink corners of his mouth became more and more evil.

She said softly, "I don't want to hear this. ”

As he spoke, he slowly stroked the hair around his ears with his fingers, revealing the pink earlobes.

- She's clearly sultry.

Li Yi looked at the place as quietly as he could.

His heart beat violently.

"The third prince must have been involved in the stone and sulfur mines of Xixian County", he put his hand on the clean and tidy railing, gently flexed his fingers, and slowly rubbed the wood, "because Zeng County Commander once received that white-haired assassin." ”

Pei Qing's finger movements paused slightly, stopped at the neck stalk, and she said thoughtfully: "No wonder the prince will die, I will be killed." ”

But isn't it, how can the children of the heavenly family have brotherhood?

Then she quickly reacted: "It's just a sulfur mine, is it important to this third prince?" ”

Li Yi nodded slightly: "Today's saints are obsessed with cultivation, and the Three Princes' Mansion happens to have a group of Jianghu warlocks, who are said to be very good at alchemy. ”

- Stone sulfur is an essential material for alchemy.

Pei Qing clasped his hands, and suddenly he was at the moment.

It turned out that Xixian was involved in the battle for the emperor, no wonder.

No wonder someone wanted to kill her.

"If Green Bay was in league with that white-haired assassin, she would have done it to me a long time ago." She tried to analyze.

Li Yi retorted in a low voice: "If you don't do it, it can only mean that the time has not come." ”

As soon as his words came out, he saw the girl opposite frowning.

"Do you think that the third prince very much hopes that the former county domain town will develop and thrive to a point that he can't shake, and then let him solve it?" She asked retortingly.

Li Yi was dumbfounded, it was obvious that the third prince he knew was not such a temper.

Pei Qing took advantage of the victory to pursue: "Now that the construction momentum of the former county is very strong, if I were the third prince, I would immediately launch a beheading attack, and I would not wait until the princess's subordinates were full of talents and the surrounding walls were guarded by iron walls." ”

Her analysis was really incisive, and after thinking about it, Li Yi found that this was indeed the case.

If that slave was sent by the third prince, either she rebelled, or she didn't come to kill people at all.

And Pei Qing probably believes the latter.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of her," she said with a delicate smile that toyed with people in the palm of her hand.

Li Yi withdrew his hand from the Mosuo railing, pinched his eyebrows and reminded her: "People's hearts are not so easy to grasp. ”

Pei Qing came back to his senses and chuckled: "Isn't it?" The heart is much more difficult to touch than the flesh. ”

"......" will be teased if you don't pay attention! Li Yiying's eyes flashed, and he suddenly put down his hand and walked over to her.

The girl leaning against the wall smiled softly and said, "Why are you going to help me fix my hair again?" ”

In the next moment, a warm finger gently touched the corner of her lips, and along with the temperature, thousands of tactile cells on her lips were rubbed numb.

Pei Qing's smile froze on his face, and all the words were pressed back by that finger.

Li Yi's thumb fingertips pressed against her lip flap, and the force slowly slid from the corner of her mouth to the corner of the other mouth, and the bulging fingertips obtained the texture of her cherry lips in a way that could not be ignored.

As if brushed by the fluff of a big cat, Pei Qing's whole body trembled, the current on his lips was chaotic, his brain was blank, and his waist was weak for a while.

She stared at Li Yi's eyes, his eyes were as deep as ink, only reflecting a little candlelight from the window lattice, at this moment, he gave her the feeling of a tiger about to wake up.

"Smack!"

Pei Qing violently knocked off Li Yi's fingers, brave like a hero fighting tigers.

"If you have the ability, don't use your hands!" She looked at him with fierce eyes, and every word was a serious provocation.

Li Yi breathed deeply, his shoulders and chest rose and fell frequently, and the hand that was knocked off was behind him, patiently rubbing five fingers.

His gaze roamed back and forth between her eyes and lips, and he leaned down little by little until they were both eye level and their eyelashes were almost together.

"You think I wouldn't dare?" A cello-low man's voice warned.

Pei Qing had a wall behind him, so he could only try his best to widen his eyes and look at him without showing weakness.

"You don't dare!" She said with a kick in her nose.

Li Yi's gaze slid down, and finally fixed on the pink red lips full of fatal attraction.

He slowly raised his other hand, pinched the edge of the face towel under his chin, and lifted a bit of fabric with a low breath.

Pei Qing gradually felt dizzy, and the bravery just now was instantly in vain, she grabbed his hand, and pulled him away with a slight tremble.

"It turns out that the princess doesn't dare to move her real character?" Li Yi said in a hoarse voice and slowly stood up straight.

Pei Qing looked at him firmly, trying not to let himself tremble.

"I, I dare!" She said stiffly, "I just need a little more time." ”

Li Yi's chest vibrated and let out a deep and pleasant laugh, but before he could finish laughing, he was pushed hard by Pei Qing.

Didn't push.

At this time, someone downstairs coughed loudly and said loudly to the two people upstairs: "It's the third watch, the weather is dry, be careful of the fire candle-"

It's Chen Guard.

He got a pair of cold, speechless eye knives of men and women upstairs.

Guarding Chen didn't dare to raise his head, and he learned to broadcast a few more times in his mouth, and stubbornly withstood the murderous gaze of his family master.

Then the master of his house said something to the princess, and then flashed to the side, and the princess slipped away from him like a fish, and returned to the house.

The candlelight in the room was quickly extinguished, and Li Yi stood on the second floor again, before jumping downstairs.

When he walked past Chen Guard, Li Yi said lightly: "Write for you!" ”

Guard Chen exaggerated a sigh of relief, and said in a tone like the rest of his life: "As long as the lord doesn't blame his subordinates for not having a look." ”

Li Yi was noncommittal, leaving him with a lonely and arrogant back.

A group of people beat gongs and drums to walk through the newly renovated dirt road in Xixian County, and after each gong was struck, they would shout loudly: "Rui Wangfu only recruits fifty people a day for food and housing, only fifty people, if you want to sign up, hurry up to the gate of the palace to find the steward Ah Meng, go late and the quota will be full——"

Then there was a hurried gong and drum, and then a loud voice shouted again.

Xixian is not big, and it didn't take long to turn to the head, and at this time, there was already a long line behind this team.

"Why do you live for fifty a day, and you still have to eat and live?"

"Is it still the work of digging ditches and digging huts?"

"You're going to the Tiger Land to open up the wasteland again, right?"

"It must be the herb field I said recently, recruiting a medicine boy, it must be going up the mountain to dig herbs!"

……

Everyone was talking about it, and they all wanted to know what kind of job it was, and they actually offered a high price of fifty dollars a day.

Now half of the people in the county have contracted the land of the princess to farm, because of the infestation of wild animals outside the county, they can only live in the dilapidated and narrow county, so that these people have to get up before dawn every day to work, and they are busy until dark before returning.

The other half of the people, some are working in various workshops, and some are doing odd jobs everywhere, but there are not many odd jobs in the county, so they can only wait for the palace to live.

Now that there is such an opportunity to make so much money in one day, of course they are going to break their heads.

Ah Meng held the limestone booklet in her hand, and stood nervously at the gate of the palace, this was the first time she was responsible for selecting people to mine in the mountains, and she had never heard of that mine, let alone seen it.

The princess only said that she would pick fifty young people to go to the mine, what is the best way to be considered young and strong?

Fifteen years old? Twenty years old? Twenty-five?

What age group can be recruited to be competent for the work assigned by the princess?

Are these fifty people only looking for men, and not a single woman?

Where are their tools? Where do you put the mined mines?

One by one, Ah Meng's head is big.

But when there was really a long queue of people in front of the palace, she calmed down.

Pick fifty men to work first, and whoever can't do it will replace them, and the princess will always call the shots for her!

After barely composing herself, Amon carefully observed the people who had signed up, and she was responsible for registering them, and marking their physical characteristics, physical physique, and specific age behind each person's name.

She will try to draw up a list of candidates and submit them to the princess, and the princess will decide on it.

After having an idea in her heart, Ah Meng moved very quickly, she put her hand around the limestone booklet baby, and quickly wrote down the characteristics of each person who signed up on paper, and it only took one morning to screen out a hundred people, and then use her own brains to remove half of the hundred people.

It's not an easy task!

Because I don't know if the person I choose can do a good job.

She has to be responsible for her own choices, not only for her own career, but also for the layout of the princess, and for the lives of all the people who go to the mine with her.

Amon: ...... When I think about it, my scalp is fried.

Fortunately, the princess gave her full support, and she sent ten strong guards to accompany Amon to the limestone mine.

Among them is Chen Shiwei, the current instructor of Xixian County.

The other nine guards are said to have been found by the former Instructor Li, all of whom were former good soldiers in the army, saying that they were favored by the prince, so they were willing to come to the Rui Wangfu to do things.

With the guards in the house following, Ah Meng's worried heart finally calmed down a little.

In the end, the fifty young men who were selected each had a two-wheeled flatbed truck, which was loaded with three days' worth of water and various mining tools, and it was said that once mining began, the follow-up supplies would be endless, and there was no need to worry about not being able to eat in the mountains.

When everything was ready, Ah Meng went to bid farewell to the princess, and unexpectedly met Cuiwan, who came to ask the princess for advice, and it was said that this new girl was a celebrity in front of the princess, and she would be in charge of the entire Tzu Chi home in the future.

The princess still gave Ah Meng a lot of support and encouragement as usual, and at the same time pointed to Cuiwan to show her: "The nursery hall in Cuiwan is waiting for the limestone you dug up, and we want to build a stone house that is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is all up to Ah Meng." ”

said that Ah Meng was proud, as if his existence was unique to the princess!

Yes, she wants to be an "indispensable" person to the princess!

After Ah Meng took the people away, Pei Qing continued to teach Cuiwan to read and write, and she recognized the words she didn't know in the textbook "Nursery Worker".

Speaking of these books, they are not cheap when they are exchanged, and one-fifth of the 10,000 taels of silver given to her by Huang Gongzi's friendship support are spent on these textbooks, and the system is selfless and undiscounted.

However, the effect is also very significant, Cuiwan took the initiative to help the people of Xixian County take the opportunity to take care of their children, and has applied the content of the book to practice, just waiting for her to integrate the entire textbook, and the simple version of the nursery can be opened.

Cuiwan found Guard Chen among the people who were led by Ah Meng to resign, and for some purpose, she thought she was knocking on the side and asked, "Niangniang, if Guard Chen is not in the former county, what should you do with your safety?" ”

Pei Qing looked defenseless against her, and replied very frankly: "The house is very safe, I don't need anyone to protect me." ”

Cuiwan's heart gradually rose, and for a while, she would ask about her master whenever she had the opportunity, but everyone said that they had never seen a white-haired beautiful boy, and it seemed that her master had never been to Ruiwang's Mansion.

However, Cuiwan knew that the purpose of the master's last trip was to go out in the former county Ruiwang Mansion, and the master would never lie to her.

So, all the people in the house are guarding against her? Or did they really not meet the owner??

Or is the only person who has ever seen the master take his master's life?!

And now, Princess Rui's words made Cuiwan realize that there was anything else in the entire mansion that Princess Rui didn't know?

She is the one who knows best what is happening inside and outside the palace.

She must work harder to win the trust of Princess Rui, and she must learn the truth about her master's death from Princess Rui as soon as possible!

But now, the first thing she has to do is to try to read all the books she hasn't had in the previous ten years in one go, and she has to learn to bring milk dolls, at least how to change the doll's diaper.

Cuiwan, who had already helped a newborn in Xixian County change diapers, found that things were far more difficult than she had imagined, and just changing diapers alone made her almost collapse.

Did she just give up?

Or do you want to keep learning?
