Although these southern expeditionary troops have been on the battlefield and have outstanding combat power, they can be called the elite of the Tang Kingdom, but after all, they have been on the border for a long time, and they have developed a banditry.

When they were gnawing on the front line, and there was no oil in their mouths, what they thought about was the imaginary bustling and noisy appearance of Ding'an City, I heard that it was the Lantern Festival a few days ago, and Ding'an City was extremely extravagant, and last night was the birthday of the concubine......

Good place, Ding'an City is really a good place!

Now, this royal capital has succumbed to their swords, and if they don't take this opportunity to make a lot of money, when they return to the border, I am afraid that there will be no such opportunity for ten or eight years.

What about the same Tang people, Ding'an City enjoys the glory of the Tang Kingdom, shouldn't they give some benefits to these soldiers who fought to the death at the border gates?

Looking at the dim sum shop owner who finally handed over his savings for many years under duress, Qin Ke was annoyed.

He hated these thieves very much, at the beginning in Daoxiang Village, there was also an insatiable greedy villager, even though Daoxiang Village was very poor, but every time he came to inspect, he had to get some benefits before he was willing to leave.

Sometimes it's a few pieces of bacon, sometimes it's freshly caught fish, after all, the villagers are timid and never dare to complain.

At that time, the master was still there, and he had just started to practice, after all, he didn't have the strength to do something, and now he encountered such a scene, and he was no longer the young man who had no cultivation at the beginning, and he clenched his fists for a while, and his heart was about to move.

But he felt Cai Yan suddenly pull his sleeve, turn his head, and look at him with his clear eyes.

Qin Ke lowered his head and slowly calmed down the churning of qi and blood in his blood.

At this time, of course, it is not good to have any more branches, even if he really goes up, it is impossible to fight against this army full of cities with the strength of one person.

Thinking of this, he could only grit his teeth and continue to take Cai Yan in the direction of Cai's mansion.

Compared with the time when Cai Yan escaped from Cai's mansion, the mentality of the two of them shuttling in the alley hand in hand was diametrically opposite, Cai Yan was cheerful and full of joy at that time, like a bird that finally flew out of the cage, eager to sing loudly.

Only this time, she had to go back to the birdcage, which was now on the edge of the cliff and could fall at any moment......

"Are you worried about me?" At this time, Qin Ke suddenly heard Cai Yan chuckling.

Qin Ke turned his head, Cai Yan, who was walking side by side with him, tilted his head, his eyes were like crescent moons, and asked with a smile, "Are you worried about me?"

"Do you have to go back?" Qin Ke's voice was so low that only he could hear it.

Cai Yan snorted lightly and said: "After all, it is my home, although I have always disliked it, there are many rules, don't let this and not let that, but after all, there are my father and brothers, I don't worry about them, and I don't want them to take on all the things." ”

She blinked and said, "I'm the daughter of the Cai family, aren't I?"

Of course, Qin Ke knew that she was the daughter of the Cai family, but the current Cai family was really not a good place to go, but from his standpoint, what could he say?

Cai Yan is not worried because she has a firm belief, she is a person with a clear goal, and once it is clear, she will no longer hesitate.

And Qin Ke was inevitably a little sad at this time.

He looked ahead, and Cai's house arrived.

The wind and rain did not make this mansion look depressed, but because of the wind and rain, the green tiles of the mansion appeared cleaner, and a few bamboos grew upward, spreading branches and leaves like umbrella covers, thriving.

But unlike that day, outside the Cai Mansion now, there is a whole team of sergeants guarding it, holding the hilt of their swords and surrounding the entire mansion with solemn eyes.

There was a pedestrian on the side of the road who was communicating in a low voice, with a little exclamation: "Have you heard? Last night, Cai Zhuguo was above the court and led hundreds of officials to openly question Li Qi, which moved the lord of the country, so the lord of the country has already named him Taifu, this time it is really one person under ten thousand people! These soldiers said that they were specially assigned to protect his old man in order to prevent the envy of Li Qi's remnants. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "Taifu. Cai Zhuguo has been a country all his life, and now it can be said that he is full of glory. ”

The other person looked a little disdainful, and said: "Nonsense, I heard that Cai Zhuguo led hundreds of officials to blackmail the lord of the country on the top of the hall yesterday, and the lord of the country was helpless, so he forced Cai Zhuguo to give a position of the prince, what is the third duke?

"Fart! How can this be called Mingsheng and secretly degraded?" The first person was retorted and his face turned red, and he said angrily: "What age is Cai Zhuguo this year? If you become another minister, it should be the age to go home and take care of your old age, even if he is not the master of the country, how long can he sit in this position? This is obviously the beauty of the lord of the country, which has rounded the glory of his life, and freed him from heavy government affairs." If he really wants to blackmail the lord of the country, he is Li Qi's fellow party, and he should be locked up in prison now!"

There are different opinions about Caifu, but fortunately......

No one thinks that this rebellion is actually led by Cai Yong, and most of the notoriety has been borne by Li Qi, who is now imprisoned in the prison.

The news was blocked in the palace, and the officials did not dare to disobey the will of the lord, and naturally they did not dare to say a word, for fear of making a pretentious act in this eventful autumn and losing the official hat on their heads.

As for the somewhat specious rumors in the market, whether the sentence is true and which one is false, these people on the edge of the court can clearly distinguish between them.

This is also the effect that Li Qiuhuang wants.

But Qin Ke was a person who knew the inside story, looking at the stern with a serious expression around Cai's mansion, his brows were furrowed, could it be difficult for Cai Yan to go back so directly? If these sergeants saw the eldest lady of the Cai family walking back towards the gate so aggressively, it would be really difficult for them all to be blind.

While he was pondering, Qin Ke suddenly felt his shoulder touch lightly with a person on the street, and the person shook and seemed to be a little unsteady.

"I'm sorry. Qin Ke said to the man.

The man shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and walked over to him.

The two passed by, bringing a breeze. Qin Ke suddenly felt that there was an extra piece of bamboo around his waist.

He subconsciously touched his money bag and found that it was still hanging intact from his waist.

And that piece of bamboo...... He looked down at it, the look on his face suddenly became a little strange, he stopped, turned his head, and glanced at the man, who quickly disappeared into the crowd as if he had never appeared.

"What's wrong?" Cai Yan asked, she was not a cultivator after all, she didn't have the keen intuition like Qin Ke, and she didn't know what happened to these two people at that moment just now.

Qin Ke shook his head, took out the bamboo piece, pinched it in the palm of his hand, and stared at the small words on it: "Yu Plucked the strings behind, don't take Cai Yan into the house." Remember, remember. ”

Cai Yan was a little puzzled, but looking at the solemnity on Qin Ke's face, he naturally came up to take a look, and quickly understood what had just happened, but now that the person had disappeared in the crowd, it seemed impossible to find him again.

But since he wrote plucking the strings and recounting the remarks, it was obvious that he should have gone first and waited for him over there.

"Is it a cultivator?" Cai Yan asked softly, with Qin Ke's current cultivation, if he was just an ordinary person, it would not be so easy to stuff something on him.

Qin Ke shook his head and said, "It should be, in your family, apart from the old man who guards the door, and your brother, is there anyone else who can practice?"

"There are several. Cai Yan said, "But I didn't know that person just now, which is not surprising, there are many people who are loyal to my father, and it is common for me not to know him." ”

The two looked at the mansion in front of them, thought for a while, and finally didn't just walk forward, although they didn't know if that person was from Cai's mansion, but this warning must not be groundless.

The two of them turned around, led by Cai Yan, and headed towards the plucked string residence in the west of the city.
