Chapter Seventy-Nine: Freshwater City

The role of Xuanmen finally began to show, and Qin Jingqiu, who stayed in the capital, sent a message to Xuanqi overnight that Li Chengye, the prince of Cheng, might have unfavorable actions against the palace. After listening to the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Xuanqi, he was not panicked, and asked Li Xing to discuss the matter.

At midnight, when Li Chengye led the officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion to surround the palace, he saw that the gate of the palace was open, and all the servants and servants were lined up in the courtyard to wait for Li Chengye's arrival. Steward Liu respectfully handed the envelope in his hand to Li Chengye, who had a gloomy face, but there were only eight big words in the letter: Go first, don't send it far!

Li Chengye roared and tore the letter to shreds, looking at the servants in front of him, but he was helpless, so he turned around angrily and walked out of the palace. Under Li Chengye's order, a whole 100,000 officers and soldiers of the Beijing battalion began a large-scale search. In any case, Xuan Qi has always been a thorn in Li Chengye's heart, and he is unhappy if he does not pull it out.

In fact, Xuan Qi had already begun to secretly arrange for his family to leave the palace after the funeral of the old princess, and when Qin Jingqiu sent the news, only Xuan Qi and Li Xing were left in the palace. After the two met, they immediately disguised themselves and left the capital. Although the walls of the capital are extremely high, it is still difficult for the two of them, and the four gates are closed, so that the two of them can easily escape.

Two months later, Li Xing and his entourage of more than 100 people had arrived in Kunming, and Xuan Qi appeared at the Qian family in Suzhou. On the second day, Xuan Qi took Qian Chaoyi and rode straight to the Yangtze River, where a cargo ship had stopped and waited quietly. On the afternoon of the second day, Xuan Qi arrived at Daqu Mountain and met with Guan Pingjiang and others.

In the middle of the ocean, three sea boats lined up, approaching the mouth of the Tamsui River. When Xuan Qi's group of more than thirty people got off the sea boat and walked along the Tamsui River, the arrows flashing blue in the dense forest were aimed at them.

With a thud, a long bamboo arrow landed in front of several people, and two aborigines wearing feathered hats jumped out of the woods, speaking in a local language they did not understand. The golden monkey Jin Jingsan has been on this island called Liuqiu for a long time, and knows that this is the Pingpu people who live by the Tamsui River.

After a chattering conversation, the two Pingpu people checked the boxes of items carried by everyone, finally nodded, and took Xuan Qi and his party up the river.

When the golden monkey explained his intentions, the very stout patriarch of the Pingpu clan still looked at everyone with hostile eyes, and his mouth made a croaking sound. The golden monkey shouted, "Oh no! There is an ambush!" and he pounced on the patriarch first. Xuan Qi on the side immediately understood, grabbed the patriarch who was about to escape, ignored the patriarch's cursing sound, lit his acupoint, and carried the patriarch out of the thatched house like a little white rabbit.

Outside the thatched hut, hundreds of Pingpu people were already surrounded by everyone, constantly shouting in an unintelligible indigenous language. After the golden monkey translated, Xuan Qi knew that these people had let their patriarch go, and as long as their patriarch was released, they would let everyone go.

Xuan Qi didn't want to talk nonsense, so he asked everyone to wait in place, and he walked forward a few steps forward with the patriarch. The Pingpu people who surrounded everyone didn't know what Xuan Qi wanted, and thought that Xuan Qi had personally sent his patriarch over, but unexpectedly, Xuan Qi suddenly threw the patriarch into the air.

In the exclamation, the patriarch of about two hundred catties suddenly flew into the air like a stone, three or four feet high, before his head and feet fell to the ground. Just when the top of the patriarch's head was less than two feet above the ground, Xuan Qifang stretched out his right hand and grabbed the patriarch's ankle in exclamation.

The patriarch who was shocked into a cold sweat was sealed in the numb hole, but he could speak in his mouth, and a burst of chatter was obviously swearing. Xuan Qi didn't speak, and threw the patriarch into the air again. After four or five times in a row, the patriarch finally relented, and Xuan Qi already knew through the translation of the golden monkey that the other party had begun to beg for mercy.

At this time, the Pingpu people who surrounded everyone were already kneeling on the ground, constantly kowtowing to Xuanqi, and chanting words in their mouths. The golden monkey translated himself, but these Pingpu people had never seen such a brave person as Xuanqi, and they actually regarded Xuanqi as the mountain god they believed in on weekdays, thinking that Xuanqi was the mountain god who appeared, so they knelt down to worship.

After that, the conversation went much smoother. In the awe-inspiring eyes of the Pingpu people, Xuanqi was personally led by the patriarch and walked along the Tamsui River. It wasn't until the next day that Xuan Qi stood on the mountain and looked at the plain area at the confluence of the three rivers in the distance, and then nodded with satisfaction.

A month later, the Yunnan general Luo Lie announced that he would abandon Yunnan and hand over Yunnan to Li Gan, the king of Shu, while he himself took an army of 30,000 to South Vietnam, and took dozens of sea ships that had been prepared long ago at the mouth of the Red River, all the way to the east.

When Xuan Qi put his family into a simple tent, it was already a hot April. The 30,000 troops brought by Luo Lie, as well as thousands of lotus thieves, began the construction of this wasteland. By the time a hurricane hit the sea, thousands of stone houses of all sizes had been built on the flat ground.

When autumn comes, a small city takes shape in the middle of the wasteland. Around the town, patches of cultivated fields have been planted with a variety of crops, making people seem to see the hope of an autumn harvest. And when tens of thousands of craftsmen from Quanzhou and other places recruited from the opposite side of Liuqiu Island arrived one after another, the construction of the small city was in full swing, and there were new changes almost every day. Two years later, when a wall tens of miles long was erected, the population of the city had exceeded 100,000.

And this small city has a beautiful name: Tamsui City.

As the city lord of Tamsui City, Li Xing is very busy every day. But Xuan Qi has become the shopkeeper who has left his hands, and he accompanies his family all day long. In the past two years, Xia Lingshuang gave birth to a daughter for Xuan Qi, because he heard the craftsmen in Quanzhou say that water means beautiful, and Xuan Qi simply named her daughter Shui'er.

And Yuqing gave birth to a pair of twins in a competitive manner, as Li Xing, who has the highest seniority, he personally named him, the big one is called Li Jing, and the small one is called Li Zhu. Ling'er, who is already in her thirties, has always been reluctant to marry, and in the end, Xia Chongxiao personally made the decision and married Ling'er to Luo Lie's deputy general Liu Tongcheng, who was also pregnant at this time. The other one who is pregnant is Li Xinchen, who has been married to Chu Lin and has just been sent to the island by Chu Lin to raise a baby.

Xuan Qi's biggest task every day is to play with the children, and at the same time become the master of all the children. Xuan Qi simply set up a small barracks and served as the battalion officer, becoming a veritable child king.
