Chapter 1321： Qi Lie

Chapter 1321 Qi Lie

Manager Xu wanted to ask again, but when he saw Ren Huai's expression was wrong, he was slightly taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"That one, seems to be the bodyguard of the new emperor, right?"

Director Xu raised his head, followed his line of sight, and indeed saw a familiar figure beside Xiang Wei Nan.

Really, isn't this the new emperor's confidant guard, Qi Lie?

The fifth prince was an unremarkable prince before he ascended the throne. He would occasionally appear in the market, and he would always be accompanied by a bodyguard, the most common being Qi Lie.

Since the fifth prince ascended the throne, as one of his confidants, Qi Lie's identity has naturally risen with the tide, and he has become a sweet treat in the eyes of everyone.

It stands to reason that such a person should be in the capital at the moment and should be by the emperor's side.

How could ...appear in a remote county town?

"Just transfer Sir Xiang back to the capital. An ordinary emissary will do. Where is the need for Qi Lie?"

Director Xu nodded, "And looking at Guard Qi, he seems to be quite familiar with Lord Xiang."

Ren Huai was a little confused, "Go, follow and have a look."

However, the two could only follow to the entrance of the county yamen, and both Xiang Weinan and Qi Lie entered the yamen.

After entering the room, Xiang Weinan smiled and patted Qi Lie on the shoulder, "I didn't expect it to be you."

Qi Lie sat on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea, "You think I'm here for you? Be selfish."

Xiang Weinan narrowed his eyes, "Then who are you for?"

"Master Lu Xiang."

Xiang Weinan, "..."

"People are engaged."

Qi Lie almost spit out a sip of tea, "Of course I know that the other party is Meng Yunzheng. You think I don't want to live anymore, so go grab someone from Young Master Meng?"

"Then you won't be doing it for the sunflower oil, right? This kind of thing can be purchased by the palace, and you need to come over in person?"

Qi Lie sighed, "Sunflower oil is one of them."

Xiang Weinan sat across from him curiously, "What about the second one?"

Qi Lie gave him a sideways look, "You are so curious about other people's affairs, you should think about yourself first. You will be returning to Beijing soon. After the Xiao family returned home a few years ago, they were picked up by the Xiao family, saying it was Xiao. Father fell ill, and he went back to serve the sick, but he will never go back to Xiangjia again.”

Xiang Weinan's expression became serious, and he frowned slightly, "What did my parents say?"

"The Countess came to visit twice and wanted to call the Xiao family back. I wonder why the Xiao family won't let them go. What are they doing with your wife? They didn't know you would be promoted back a few years ago. I think it's weird, when you go back to Beijing, go to Xiao's house to have a look."

"I know." Xiang Weinan had a headache when he thought of the Xiao family.

Fortunately, although the Xiao family is a girl from the Xiao family, she is not the daughter of the head of the family.

The Xiao family is the only granddaughter of the third master of the Xiao family. Among the big members of the Xiao family, the first master of the Xiao family is the most powerful.

Concubine Xiao is the daughter of the eldest man, and the Xiao family should call Concubine Xiao the aunt.

Because the Xiao family has only one granddaughter of the Xiao family, even if the father and grandfather are not officials, the Xiao family is very favored, especially by the love of Xiao Guifei.

Xiang Weinan, a husband, wants to take Xiao Shi home, it's not a big problem, it's impossible to serve Jiji for a lifetime.

Qi Lie and Xiang Weinan talked about some of the current situation in the capital, and they began to ask about Shu Yu, "On Luxiang-Jun, please find someone to tell me, I don't have much time in Jiangyuan County, so I'll take the sunflower oil first. Let's talk things over."

"I'll tell Huli to go to Lu's house now."
