Qin mubai stood on the deck of the ship, blowing a little bit of grass smell of river wind, quite a kind of unspeakable comfort.
Originally, some things, accompany oneself all day, don't feel very much, once lose, will feel its wonderful.
For example, freedom!
Qin mubai, who regained his freedom, now has an instinctive impulse to see the people he cares about. Parents, brothers and sisters, Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang, as well as those soldiers who get along day and night.
Li Ke entered the cabin for more than an hour and did not come out. The sacrificial rites of the Yangdi mausoleum were over. Surrounded by the guards, the prince and the king of Jiangxia walked out of the sacrificial hall and were walking towards the river bank, ready to go back on the boat.
Qin mubai stood on the boat and saw it, so he got off the boat to meet it.
Li Chengqian's face was red and he seemed to be in a good mood when he talked with his ministers. Seeing Qin mubai coming, he laughed from a distance: "yes, mubai! The sacrificial arrangements are very good. I'm very satisfied! Look at the reaction of the people and officials in Xiangyang. They are so enthusiastic! By the way, what have you been doing these two days? I've always wanted to play chess with you, but I can't touch your people? "
Qin mubai arched his hand with a smile and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I'm busy dealing with all kinds of military affairs these two days. Because of the arrangement of sacrificial defense, he neglected his highness. Please let the prince stay in Xiangyang for a few more days and give Weichen a chance to make up for his mistakes. "
"Easy to say, easy to say." Li Chengqian laughs, "there is a 15 day schedule before and after the sacrifice. I won't go back long ago. Xiangyang is a good place. I'm very interested in all kinds of fish soup here. If general Qin has time, he'll come to GuDi Xingyuan for dinner in the evening and try some delicious fish soup
"It's better to be obedient than respectful!" Qin Mu Bai agreed with a smile.
"Oh. Uncle Huang, you must come, too! " Li Chengqian turned back and said to Li daozong.
"I will come in person." Li daozong also agreed very readily.
"By the way, what about the third brother? Why don't you see the third brother, King Wu? " Li Chengqian asked.
"Oh, his royal highness, the king of Qi, had a little cold and had a rest earlier. His royal highness, the king of Wu, just came to express his sympathy and stayed on the ship for a while. If his Highness the prince has an appointment, how about going to invite the king of Wu? " Qin mubai said.
"No, let the third brother stay with the fifth brother and look after him." Li Chengqian said, "you just have to send him a message. Just ask his brother to go to dinner together in the evening. "
"Yes." Qin mubai answered the promise and took a look at Li daozong. The little old man, with an enigmatic smile on his face, nodded.
Having said that, Li Chengqian was ready to board the ship and return to Xiangyang. With Pang Fei leading Baiqi to guard from the side, Qin mubai could rest assured, so he didn't go back with him on the boat on the pretext that there was still military affairs to rectify.
On the Shenyu spaceship into the cabin, Li Chengqian can't wait to call the left and right attendants, change clothes. When he was young, he invited Li daozong to the cabin, pointed to a gold silk dress on the table and said, "Uncle Huang, it seems that you are always worrying about it. This gold silk soft armor is not useful at all. It's thick and heavy on the body. I sweat a little. It's uncomfortable. Now give the original to Uncle Huang. "
Li daozong laughed and said, "it's the biggest use if it doesn't come in handy. Xiangyang has just calmed down the trouble of water ghosts, and the bandits have something to do with the remaining evils of the Sui Dynasty. Maybe there will be some fish who have missed the net, so it's better to be more careful. "
"That's true. Thank you for your care. " Li Chengqian sat down, frowned and said, "Uncle Huang, how do I feel that Qin mubai, Li Ke and Li Ke are all a little mysterious?"
"Do you have one?" Li daozong said in amazement, "why can't I see it?"
"Is it?" Li Chengqian blinked in bewilderment. "Since uncle Huang didn't see anything different, it must be my worry. By the way, my fifth brother is suffering from a cold wind. I happen to have some good medicine in the palace. I'll send someone to deliver some later. "
"Not bad." Li daozong didn't say much. He folded the gold soft armor and carefully wrapped it. He digged off the topic and said, "this soft armor was found in Wang Shichong's private treasure house after Wang Shichong was pacified, and then it was given to me by your father. Don't underestimate this soft armor. It has saved my life at least twice. It's very meaningful
The prince's boat had already left, and Qin mubai came back to the boat again. He saw that Li Ke had left the cabin and stood on the side of the rail, looking at the boat from a distance.
"How?" Qin mubai came to him and asked.
Li Ke's brow twisted slightly and shook his head.
"Ah Qin mubai sighed and said, "what should we do now?"
Li Ke was silent for a long time and said, "the secret forces are trying to catch Yin Hongzhi. Block the news and put king Qi under house arrest. "
"House arrest?" Qin mubai said, "he is the governor of Dengzhou. The military affairs of a state are waiting for him to deal with. When are you going to put him under house arrest?"
"At least we have to wait until the prince leaves Xiangzhou." Li Ke said.
"That's the trouble." Qin mubai said, "just now the prince also said, please come to his Xingyuan banquet with the king of Qi."Li Ke also showed some embarrassment and said, "I'll go back to the government later. I'll go to Quan Wanji for help. He has a great skill and is good at imitating other people's handwriting. I asked him to imitate Li you's handwriting and write a dictionary. He said that he was ill and rushed back to Dengzhou for treatment. His royal highness would forgive him. In any case, the prince and the king of Qi have never had a good taste for each other. If there are not many of them, the prince will not care
"Well. It seems that's the only way Qin mubai sighed and said, "I just don't know. After going back, if Princess Gaoyang asked, what should she do? Her uncle. Brother, all of a sudden, I left without saying goodbye overnight. "
"That's your job." Li Ke said, "isn't cheating a woman what you've always been good at? Tell a lie and cover it up. In a word, she can't know the truth. Otherwise, if this trouble girl breaks out, no one can resist it. "
"Ah? I When do you have such a good hand? It's your specialty Qin Mu Bai was greatly aggrieved and cried.
"Don't tease me. It's clear that you've led me astray. At least, when I was 12, I didn't peep at women's baths. " Li Ke said seriously.
Qin Mu Bai's face was twitching. He had nothing to say and had to smile bitterly.
Later, the ship also got up its anchor and headed for Xiangyang. Qin mubai and Li Ke had been standing on the deck of the ship, but they did not return to the cabin. It was not until the ship was about to dock that Li Ke asked Qin mubai to arrange for two men to change Li you's robes and uniform. Then he escorted him to the shore and put him into Li Ke's carriage.
In this process, Li you is very quiet, did not make the task out of the ordinary move. But his abnormal silence, eyes are also a dead look, a look of despair and indifference.
Qin mubai followed Li Ke to the governor's mansion and took Li you to Li Ke's room. At this time, the three talents came together.
"Third brother, what are you going to do with me?" Li you finally said, "among so many brothers, you are the only one I admire. I don't want to embarrass you. Just say the right thing, and I'll do it. "
"I just want you to stay in my house quietly until the prince leaves Xiangzhou." Li Ke said.
Li you nodded: "OK. I understand your hard work. Thank you. But I've done something myself. No regret. I will not betray my uncle and put all the blame on him. Please understand that, too. "
"I know." Li Ke nodded helplessly, "these days, you can stay here to rest, don't think much about anything!"
Li you fell into silence for a long time, he said: "you still Take me to Chang'an early and give it to my father. "
Li Ke frowned: "why should I do this?"
"If you don't do that, you're shielding me. in due course. You will also be implicated. I don't want to get involved in you. " Li you turned his back to Li Ke and said.
"You think too much, fifth brother." Li Ke sighed, walked up behind him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "even if you are a little implicated, you will be scolded at most. At most, it is to dismiss the officials and cut off the nobility. On the other hand, if I hand you over to Chang'an, I will certainly destroy you. "
"The law of the country is strict, and the law and discipline are merciless. Third brother, for me, you're not worth it. " Li you said.
"The rule of the world is nothing more than" emotion, reason and law ". Isn't this emotion still placed before the principle and law?" Li Ke said softly, "people are not plants. How can we be merciless? It's not only because of you alone, but also because of your mother's wife and Gao Yang's life, and your concubines and children. How can I bear it? "
Li Ke's body vibrated slightly, and his eyelids became moist. He tried to calm down and said faintly: "I'm tired, I want to have a rest. Three elder brothers, you all go! "
"Have a good rest..." Li Ke shook his head to greet Qin mubai. He left the room.
Outside the room, there are twelve Li Ke's confidants guarding the palace. Next to them is the camp of the palace's soldiers. I can rest assured.
After going out, Li Ke sighed: "five younger brother is really not bad. It's like he's lost in his mind and can't figure it out for a moment. I really hope that during this period of time, he can reflect and repent. Otherwise Even if I want to help him, I can do nothing
"Yes! Doctors save people. It also requires the patient to have the desire to survive. " Qin mubai said, "maybe he has left a lot of shadows in his heart since he was a child. Coupled with Yin Hongzhi's instigation and indoctrination for so many years, his heart has been lost. This time, he attempted to assassinate. The matter could be big or small. Fortunately, it was you that he met. If it was anyone else, it would be a dead end. By the way, how do you see the difference. Who sent Su Lianqing to save me
Li Ke gave a mysterious smile: "recently, I learned some divination techniques from some strange people in the world. As long as I figure out the size of the matter, I can guess it. How about magic? "
"Cut! Just blow it Qin Mu Bai's disdainful straight lips.
"Ha ha!" Li Ke laughed a few times and said, "that's because I know you too well. In such a critical day. No matter how busy you are, you will certainly take time out of your busy schedule to come to my house and talk with me about sacrificial rites. I'm surprised you didn't show up for two days in a row. I'll send someone to inquire. It's even more abnormal that the prince and Wang Xingyuan of Jiangxia don't see your people there. So I was suspicious. I sent someone to the barracks to find you, but I didn't hear from you. That's a guess. It must be something wrong! So I sent a lot of people. Secretly looking for you. Su Lianqing is just one of them. It's just that this woman is very smart and amazing, and she is very lucky. She first guessed that you were hiding in Wu Meiniang's house to enjoy the fun and forget the business Then, I found you step by step. ""I Shit, that's who I am? " Qin mubai called to bump into the sky.
"Of course not." Li Ke blinked his eyes and said seriously, "but it's strange that Su Lianqing found you that way."
“……” Qin mubai was speechless.
"In fact, this is a blessing you planted for yourself." Li Ke said with a smile, "the Dragon walks in the clouds, and the rats and ants make holes. Different kinds of people have their own strengths and means. Su Lianqing, a demon who wandered the world in those days, really surprised me by her means. She can drive away snakes and bees. Is that a talent
Qin Mu Bai said, "it seems that Li you has always liked to make friends with such talents."
Li Ke's embarrassed face changed. He coughed twice. He cut his hand behind his back and said, "the princess has passed away. It is not suitable for her to stay in my house. So go back where she comes from
"What do you mean?" Qin mubai asked confusedly.
Li Ke looked back at him, a "natural" expression, said: "of course, the people back to you! Which big family doesn't do that? If the master dies, the servants and maidservants will be sent home or sold separately. At the beginning, you gave Su Lianqing to me. Now, of course, I can only give her back! Do you want me to keep such a witch as a concubine? "
The canthus of Qin Mu Bai's eyes beat a few times, dry smile: "that also Not at all! "
"Well, I'm not Li you!" Li Ke took a big step forward.
Qin mubai could not laugh or cry. He said in secret: Li Ke is more and more good at acting now! It was su Lianqing who volunteered to switch to Wu Meiniang. He was bluff of the initiative to give people to me. Ha ha, it seems that I'm afraid of losing face in front of me!
After being detained in Li Ke's house for some time and having a meal with him, Qin mubai left and went directly to the king of Jiangxia.
This event, coming like a sudden wind and going like a ebb of tide, can be said to be extremely dangerous, or it can be said that there is no danger.
In this storm. Qin mubai, of course, is standing on the tuilang River, which is extremely dangerous. However, it is Li daozong, the king of Jiangxia, who is not old but strong, who is really at the helm.
If not for this old man, Li Ke would not be so calm and calm. If it had not been for him to help stabilize the prince, the situation would not have been as peaceful as it is now.
Therefore, Qin mubai felt it was necessary to see Li daozong now. First of all, it is necessary to express gratitude to him; second, it is also necessary to find out what he said and ask how to deal with Li you in this way.
When he came to the king Xingyuan of Jiangxia, Li daozong came back from the crown prince Xingyuan and sat in the main hall drinking tea alone, as if he was waiting for Qin mubai.
"Coming!" When Li daozong saw Qin mubai, he laughed and waved to him, "come on, sit down and have tea with me."
"Good." Qin mubai smiles and goes to sit down with him.
"Try Wang's craft. How about Li Ke?" Li daozong handed him a cup of tea with a smile.
Qin mubai took it respectfully, tasted it seriously, and tut tut said: "the tea art of Wang Ye has a unique style."
"Oh, what do you say?" Li daozong asked with a smile.
Qin mubai took another sip, as if he had a good aftertaste, and said seriously, "this tea can also make ginger spicy. It's unheard of! "
"Ha ha, you son of a bitch!" Mr. Lee burst into laughter as he sat down.
Qin mubai put down his tea cup and bowed to Li daozong: "thank you for your help! Great kindness will be rewarded in the future! "
"Come on, what great kindness do I have for you?" Li daozong laughs, "it's the lucky star in your life who is protecting you."
"Oh, how do you say that?" Qin mubai asked curiously.
With a smile, Li daozong made Princess Gaoyang jealous and angry, which aroused his suspicion. Then he went to Li Ke's house. In the end, they conspired with each other to tell Qin mubai about the whole rescue and defense plan.
Qin mubai was quite surprised: "is it because of Princess Gaoyang's casual words that the prince felt the crisis and made many arrangements?"
"I'm not as amazing as you think. Li Ke arranged many things in advance. He's more alert and smarter than I am. As early as a day or two ago, Li Ke was aware of it and had taken action. Otherwise, how can you be rescued so quickly? He even sent his men to secretly control Li you's Inn, but unfortunately, he let Yin Hongzhi run away. " Li daozong said.
Qin Mu nodded and said in his heart: the lucky star in my life, ling'er But this time, although she "protected" me, it indirectly caused his brother to get into trouble. What would she do if she knew the truth?
