Chapter 158: The County Returns to Beijing

 I was almost pissed off by Li Qinzai, and in the blink of an eye I felt miraculously warm and sweet in my heart.

Cui Jie found that she seemed to have been poisoned by his poison. Since the last kidnapping incident, the poisoning has become more and more serious, and there is no cure.

"He is going back to Chang'an. Before leaving, he still cared about my food and clothing. He... shouldn't hate me, right?" Cui Jie was happy and thought secretly.

Li Qinzai pushed his arm: "Eating magpie shit? What's the fun of being secretly alone?"

Cui Jie was furious, and the sweet tenderness just now disappeared instantly.

"You...can't you be gentler?" Cui Jie sighed quietly: "When your grandfather asked Chen Song, the minister of the Ministry of War, to visit the house to promote matchmaking, Chen Song said that you were 'modesty, respectful, and gentlemanly.' Why am I here for you?

Can’t see it at all?”

Li Qinzai was immediately stunned: "That Minister Chen... isn't he afraid of being beaten afterwards?"

Cui Jie chuckled: "Maybe he will be beaten. I want to beat him too."

Li Qinzai sighed: "I am obviously a bastard, but he calls me a gentleman. I always feel that he is swearing..."

Cui Jie also said seriously: "Yes, he must be scolding you. How can you have any relationship with a gentleman?"

"Don't believe false advertisements." Li Qinzai advised seriously: "Why don't you report it to the official? This Shilang Chen is a liar. He has deceived so many innocent families and pushed so many lovely and kind-hearted girls into a pit of fire."

Cui Jie's almond-shaped eyes gradually turned into crescents, then she covered her mouth and laughed silently, shrugging her shoulders, and finally laughed loudly regardless of her manners.

Li Qinzai looked at her with a smile, and his heart was full of joy.

The cold wind was blowing, and her smile was like the sunshine breaking through the winter snow.

It's great, it's a blessing that life has stopped here.

Cui Jie laughed for a long time before feeling that her appearance was inappropriate. She stopped laughing in a hurry, smoothed her hair and hair to hide it, and glared at him angrily: "It's all your fault."

"What do you blame me for?"

"I don't know, it's all your fault anyway."

She lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking. After a long time, Cui Jie suddenly looked up at him: "My brother was here just now."

"Did I leave any money for you?" Li Qinzai asked with concern.

"You want to steal my money again?" Cui Jie looked at him warily.

"I have a good investment project. I will be given ten taels of silver cake this month, and I will pay you twenty taels next month. However, the risk is 50/50, and you may lose everything. Are you interested in participating?" Li Qinzai said seriously.

.

"Not interested." Cui Jie flatly refused.

Then she glared at him fiercely and said, "You are also a liar and should be thrown into prison together with Chen Shilang."

Li Qinzai sighed sadly and mentioned that this girl Qian actually had an above-average IQ.

Fools are becoming more and more shrewd, and liars are becoming more difficult to deal with.

"I heard from my brother that he is here to announce the decree. You have been knighted by the emperor and are now the son of Weinan County?"

Li Qinzai nodded: "Yes, I'm pretty good."

Cui Jie didn't answer him and asked again: "Have you made another contribution to the Tang Dynasty? This time the contribution must be great, so the emperor would not hesitate to confer a title, right?"

"It should be very big. In fact, the title doesn't matter. I will still live my small life regardless of whether it is given or not. With the title, I will just raise a few more flags when I go out. The court may also give me a salary of more than 100 stones every year?

Other than that, there’s probably nothing else different.”

Cui Jie smiled and said, "I can't tell you are an indifferent person."

Li Qinzai stared into her eyes and suddenly said: "I am so powerful, do you admire me?"

Cui Jie's face turned red and she turned away. This time she didn't yell at him, but gave him a soft hum.

"You... are indeed very powerful. You should be a person of great talent, otherwise the emperor would not have made a knighthood easily. It seems that you have made a great contribution this time..."

Cui Jie paused and then said: "In the past few days, there were sounds of thunder and thunder in the village from time to time. Many villagers were spreading the news that the fifth young master of the Li family was the God of Thunder. If he said something inappropriate, he would make a loud bang and respect you as the god of thunder.

Where are the gods?"

"I guess the thing that makes the loud noise is not thunder, but a novel thing, like the divine arm bow you made before, right?"

Li Qinzai smiled and said: "You are getting smarter and smarter. This is true."

Cui Jie thought thoughtfully: "The emperor's ennoblement must be related to the thing you created, right?"

"Yes, that thing is called gunpowder, and it has the power to crack mountains and crack rocks."

Cui Jie smiled with satisfaction: "You are indeed not a mortal. You can always create strange things, but those things are of great use to the Tang Dynasty. It's great."

Li Qinzai blinked: "Do you regret running away from the marriage now? It would be great if you marry me honestly. Maybe you can get a royal wife or something now. But as a result, you run away from the marriage and lose everything. Is it a loss?"

Cui Jie was so ashamed that she pushed him out of the yard in anger: "Hurry up and go back to Chang'an. I...I have no regrets! I don't want to see you!"

Li Qinzai staggered back after being pushed by her, and had no choice but to exit the courtyard. Before leaving, he said loudly: "Remember to eat, remember to think of me! I will count my sneezes in Chang'an. If there are less than ten sneezes every day, you must have missed me. Come back

Let me settle the score with you!"

Cui Jie was extremely ashamed and said angrily: "Quickly leave! I won't miss you!"

Seeing Li Qinzai's figure disappear on the rural road, Cui Jie turned around and entered the house, leaning against the door, her happy and sweet expression gradually turned gloomy.

Ecstasy is only parting, no matter how loud the laughter is, it is just to cover up the sadness of parting.

"Can I come back in the first month of this trip?" Cui Jie started to count on her fingers: "It's a whole month, just one month. If I don't come back in one month, I will ignore him."

Then Cui Jie was startled, pinched her arm hard, and secretly spat: "What are you thinking about? You are not ashamed!"

…………:.

The luggage was packed, and the tribesmen lined up in armor and waited beside the carriage.

Li Qinzai took Qiao'er with him and first went to the backyard to say goodbye to his aunt, then boarded the carriage and embarked on the road back to Chang'an.

In the swaying carriage, Qiao'er opened the curtain and looked curiously at the Qu's horses outside the carriage. Then he lowered the curtain and asked, "Dad, why are uncles Bu Qu different from before?"

"What's the difference?"

Qiao'er pointed to the outside of the car and said: "They raised flags with words written on them, and several wooden signs..."

Li Qinzai smiled and rubbed his dog's head: "That is dad's guard of honor. Dad was knighted by the emperor. People with titles must have guards of honor. Whether it's a flag or a wooden sign, they all belong to dad."

"Is being knighted so prestigious?" Qiao'er said excitedly: "Dad, Qiao'er wants to be knighted too!"

"Then you have to make a few great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Only those who have made great contributions will be knighted, such as your great-grandfather, your father and me..."

Qiao'er asked in confusion: "Why do you want to make contributions to the Tang Dynasty?"

"Because Datang is a country, and we are all the people of this country. Of course, the people hope that their country will become stronger and stronger, so that the lives of our people will be better and better. In order for the country to be strong, we need our ordinary people.

The people have done meritorious service for it.”

Qiao'er said ignorantly: "After you have made meritorious service to the country, can you be granted a title?"

Li Qinzai said solemnly: "Making meritorious service to the country is not to get a title, but to hope that this country will get better and better, that the people will enjoy peace, that the government in the court will be clear, and that neighboring countries will surrender and not dare to spy."

"Qiao'er, dad and you both live in the peaceful world of the Tang Dynasty. In order to maintain this peaceful world, we should do our part. When you grow up, if you are an ordinary person, you might as well be a rich man.

, if you don’t do anything to oppress the people, your life will be considered guilt-free.”

"If you have some outstanding talents, you might as well do something for the Tang Dynasty. Dad has no requirements for you, just try your best. As for the title, it is optional, don't take it to heart. I don't care about father's title either.

Yes, that’s what I did, and I hope you do the same.”

Qiao'er seemed to understand but still nodded vigorously: "I will do it like dad."

Li Qinzai stroked his head gently.

The conversation has already begun, and Li Qinzai doesn't mind instilling some principles of family and country into him.

It's not hypocritical. Living in a peaceful world means benefiting from the country. Since you benefit, you should do something for this peaceful world in accordance with your conscience.

When he first created the divine arm bow, horseshoes, and later gunpowder, Li Qinzai didn't intend to hide it from anyone. In fact, he really wanted to repay the peaceful world, that's all.

It was already evening when we returned to Chang'an, and the carriage stopped in front of the British Government Palace.

Li Qinzai got off the carriage with Qiao'er in his arms, and found that there were thousands of servants in front of the gate of the Duke's mansion. Almost all the servants of the mansion came out to welcome him, and his grandfather Li Ji was also there.

Li Qinzai hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "How dare your grandson greet you personally as a grandfather? This would be a disgrace to your grandson."

Qiao'er also bowed politely: "Qiao'er pays homage to my great-grandfather."

Li Ji first picked up Qiao'er and gave him a few firm kisses on his tender face. Then he glanced sideways at Li Qinzai and hummed softly: "I welcome you today, only this time. I won't do it next time. Let's go in."

Butler Wu Tong came up to him, dusted off Li Qinzai diligently, and said with a smile: "Welcome the county magistrate back to the house, oh, it's amazing, our Li family has two nobles, and the whole city of Chang'an has spread. How is this?"

Glory." Provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.:.
