045 What is merit?
Li Yi pursed his lips, looked at her fixedly for a long time, and sighed: "Good bite!" β
Pei Qing slowly suppressed his smile, ripped off the blindfolded things, and looked at it to see that it was a gorgeous ribbon.
She gave him an unsteady look.
- I was almost deceived by him.
Looking at his face again, the face towel was so tightly covered that nothing could leak out except his eyes.
"It's good that you're more sensible than me." Li Yi's breath was also unstable, and there was a faint happiness in his words, glad that the two of them stopped abruptly in time.
Pei Qing's anger that had just faded rose again: "In the face of a bastard, what else can I do?" β
Li Yi looked at her with complicated emotions flashing in his eyes, and he murmured, "Give me a while longer, wait until I ......"
When he can completely control his own fate and not put her in danger, he must tell her the truth.
However, now under some practical pressure, he can only hide her and silently bear her anger.
Telling her the truth in advance will only hurt her.
"You go, I'll give you unlimited time!" Pei Qing slowly pointed to the door, "Let me leave Xixian now!" β
In his incredulous gaze, she said word by word from between her teeth: "Forever, far, all, no, allow, again, back, come!" β
Li Yi's eyes looked as if he had been pierced by ten thousand arrows, and he said in a fluttering voice: "Do you think I still want to rely on it and not leave?" β
This time, Pei Qing didn't even speak anymore, just looked at him coldly.
Brush, Li Yi flicked his sleeves and opened the door, stepping out of the door with one foot.
After a pause, he slowly turned his head to look at her silently.
Pei Qing stubbornly pointed outward: "Go!" β
Li Yi took a long breath of unsteady breath and walked out resolutely.
Clang, the door closed behind him, and the sound of a bolt was heard inside.
Li Yi raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, silently looked back at the closed door, and the hanging hand clenched into a fist.
Guarding Chen walked over slowly, lowered his voice and asked, "Lord?" β
Li Yi slowly exhaled that breath, his eyes were indistinguishable, and his voice was dull: "Don't persuade me, I'll go first." β
Guard Chen looked at him in shock, then looked at the closed door of the small building, and swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

Pei Qing slept until the second day, and only after waking up did he ask Ah Xing, did the 20 boxes containing money yesterday be placed in the warehouse?
Ah Xing immediately replied: "Yes, yes, Instructor Li asked Guard Chen to personally escort him to the warehouse." β
Pei Qing was silent.
At this time, Chen Guards came to ask for a meeting.
Pei Qing was silent for a moment with his mouth flattened, and then reluctantly said, "Call him in." β
Guard Chen walked in with his head down, and bowed his hand when he entered the door: "Princess Niangniang, Instructor Li has left Xixian County, and he asked his subordinates to give you something before leaving." β
After finishing speaking, he respectfully put half of the jade pendant in front of Pei Qing's eyes.
Pei Qing picked up the semi-circular jade pendant a little puzzled, and looked back and forth: "What does this mean?" β
Guard Chen replied without raising his head: "This is Huang Gongzi's token, and it also represents his handle, Instructor Li hopes that you can take it." β
Pei Qing's hand shook slightly, and he slowly put the half of the jade pendant on the table quietly.
Seeing that she accepted it well, Guard Chen had the courage to take out another letter and asked her tentatively: "This is what Instructor Li wrote to the princess Niangniangββ"
A cold light flashed in Pei Qing's eyes, and he said in a crisp voice: "Don't look at it, throw it away." β
Seeing this, Guard Chen didn't say much, and stuffed the letter back into his arms.
"Princess Niangniang, Instructor Li said that he has negotiated with you on the Huang family's side, and you can write directly to Huang Gongzi if you have any requirements in the future", Chen Guard's eyes looked at the ground, and said dryly, "Give the letter to your subordinates, and your subordinates will send it to the Huang family's caravan stationed in the county, and they will send it away with carrier pigeons." β
Pei Qing was silent.
After finishing speaking, Guard Chen didn't wait for her to answer, he arched his hand neatly and withdrew without saying a word.
When he left, Pei Qing took the half of the jade pendant in his hand again, the semicircular jade pendant seemed to have been cut from a whole ring, the incision was very smooth, and I don't know what kind of divine weapon could cut so neatly.
Her pink lips were flattened, her fingers were playing with the half-pulled jade pendant, and her eyelashes were lowered to hide the look in her eyes.
After a long time, she came back to her senses from her thoughts and instructed Ah Xing: "Let the Chen guards ask the Huang family caravan when it will give away people to Xixian County, and if there are any abandoned baby girls in the vicinity for dozens of miles?" Let them all send people over. β
Ah Xing took the order and left, and came back after half an hour.
"Princess Niangniang, the people from the Huang family caravan said that they would send you about 300 people this time, and they will arrive the day after tomorrow," A Xingyu reported, "The people from the Huang family caravan also said that the news of the princess Niangniang's mercy to take in the girl who was abandoned by the family has spread to a radius of hundreds of miles, and there should be people coming to the Xixian Nursery Hall in the past few days." β
The latter news soothed Pei Qing's mood a little, and now the merit added by opening Minzhi alone can no longer satisfy her, since she found out that the system can exchange the desired resources in advance through sacrificial merit points, she desperately wants a lot of merit.
Opening the people's wisdom is the first step, and adopting the abandoned girl is the second step.
I don't know how long it will take to get on the right track after the nursery is built and collect merit points for her?
had something to do, so she forcefully pulled her attention away from her attachment to Li Yi and coldly pressed him to the bottom of her heart.
That's when the system prompt pops up suddenly.
γMerit plus 1γ
[Merit plus 4]
[Merit plus 3]
[Merit plus 5]
[Merit plus 2]
β¦β¦
The continuous system prompts are almost continuous, resulting in an almost swiping effect.
The system seemed to sense the doubts in Pei Qing's heart, and explained while reporting the number: [Host, someone must be helping you, the merit value comes from all directions, and there are almost no duplicates. γ
Pei Qing was so surprised that he suddenly got up.
Why did the merit value, which had been small before, usher in a blowout today?
Who the hell is helping her?
How did you help her get so much merit?

Outside the former county, on the hill full of angelica, Li Yi sat on the trunk of a dead tree, silently staring at Wang Ergou and others who were working in the medicine field.
At this time, he saw the Chen guards coming from afar, so he beckoned.
Guard Chen bypassed the medicine field and walked through the woods, walked to Li Yi's side and sat on the ground, sighing and shaking his head.
"She confiscated my letter?" Li Yi asked.
Chen Guard looked at his family master with a sympathetic face: "The princess said to throw away your letter." β
Li Yi: ......
"But Niangniang took the half of the jade pendant," Chen Guard said comfortingly, "It's not in vain that the Lord has spent a lot of hard work." β
Through the sparse woods, you can see that Wang Ergou and his people are working very seriously in the fields, and there is almost no time for chatting and resting.
Li Yi silently watched the movements of Wang Ergou and the others, but what he was thinking about was the last time he and Pei Qing came to this grove to look for medicinal materials.
"Lord?" Guard Chen waited for a long time and didn't wait for him to speak, so he couldn't help but call him in a whisper.
Li Yi touched his arms, which was his newly made money pork jerky, but he was very skeptical that if he asked Guard Chen to give it to Pei Qing, she would throw it to the ground.
So he finally lowered his hand and exhaled softly.
"Am I being kicked out of my house?" He asked softly.
Lao Chen didn't dare to answer this, so he could only bow his head and play with the grass leaves.
Li Yi supported his forehead with his hand and said sullenly: "That's fine, this can make me concentrate on doing things." β
Lao Chen's eyes became more and more sympathetic when he looked at him - the appearance of the Lord didn't look good at all.
"How's it going to be done over there?" Li Yi suddenly asked in a low voice.
Guard Chen quickly replied: "The men sent by the subordinate have gone to fifty villages, and in each village there are female babies who were thrown away at birth, and our people have taken them all in, and they will be sent to the county's nursery in a few days, and the number may reach hundreds." β
Li Yi raised his head slightly and exhaled, and said lightly: "That's good, tell them to implement this matter, as long as the princess still accepts people, she will find it for the princess." β
Chen Guards said: "My subordinates understand. β
The sound of birds vibrating their wings could be heard from the top of the tree, but this time the mood of the listeners was completely different.
Li Yi put down his hands, propped his arms on his legs, looked at the direction of Rui Wangfu from afar, and said in an almost murmuring tone: "The princess is kind-hearted, you all have to assist her well, as long as she asks for it...... No refusal. β
Guard Chen hurriedly replied solemnly: "Wow! β
Then there was silence in the forest for a while, except for the rustling of the grass and the chirping of birds.
Li Yi lowered his head and looked at the tender grass under his feet, and sighed long: "It's too comfortable to live in Xixian County, I really don't want to leave......"
Guard Chen opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again in the next moment.
He silently untied a gourd of wine tied to his belt and handed it to Li Yi.
Li Yi shook his head, did not take it, but looked around the mountains and said blankly: "I have to stay awake and leave in a drowsiness, as if I have lost a battle." β
At this time, Chen Guard couldn't help it: "It's not unjust to lose to the master's mother." β
Li Yi turned his head little by little and looked at him without speaking.
Chen Guard's desire to survive suddenly exploded: "The master mother is a bodhisattva, except for you, who else in this world can be worthy of her?" The Lord always wants to let the master mother, this is the big husband's mind. β
Li Yi snorted coldly and stood up: "Sycophants are sycophants, don't you forget who you are doing things for?" β
Chen Guard held back a laugh and replied one after another: "Yes, yes, the subordinates are born as the Lord, and the death is the Lord's ghost, and there will never be two hearts." β
From the angelica field to the foot of the back mountain with a horse tied, Li Yifei got on the horse and said to Chen Guard condescendingly: "After I go back, find someone to persuade the princess, and I will not be allowed to enter the house in the future. Let her retract the sentence. β
Guard Chen's smile fell, and he replied stubbornly, "Is this ...... Please forgive your subordinates for not being able to do anything. β
As for the shrewd head of the princess, don't all those who want to persuade her have to be persuaded by her to go back in the end? Isn't it possible that they will turn against each other and scold the Lord in turn?
Thinking about that scene, I feel miserable for the Lord.
So don't get involved in these two things.
Li Yi was angry when he looked at him, and he said coldly, "What do you want?" "It's better for him to figure it out on his own.
Chen Wei obediently stood up straight and was trained, but unexpectedly, after his master said such a sentence, he turned his horse's head and beat the horse away.
One person and one rider quickly turned into a small dot and ran into the distance, leaving only the Chen guard standing in place to look at his back with a complicated face.
"Lord, take care and don't die!"

At this time, Pei Qing was analyzing the merit value.
The system told her: "Anything that is beneficial to humanity will produce merit"
System: [Opening the wisdom of the people can produce merit, building bridges and paving roads can produce merit, and giving relief to orphans and widows can produce merit...... However, the most effective thing is to help the weak. γ
System: [The idea of the host starting a nursery is very good, and every baby who is taken in will generate a steady stream of merit points for the host]
System: [Today's total merit points increase by 100+, and the system function is restored to 12%]
System: [I hope the host will make persistent efforts and create more brilliance]
Pei Qing listened silently, and complained in his heart: I don't know why these merit values are generated, and how can I brush them repeatedly?
