Since time travel, Li Qinzai does have several enemies, from Wu Yuanshuang to Li Yifu, they all have enemies.
Don't worry about the dudes you beat up before. Although they can be considered enemies, they don't have enough weight and qualifications. They don't have the intelligence to create such a big situation. Even Li Ji was implicated.
It’s not that I look down on them, but those guys running rampant in Chang’an really don’t have that extraordinary ability. They are the best in drinking, fighting, and jealousy. When it comes to intrigues and intrigues at the level of emperors and ministers in the court, they are really not good at it.
Therefore, Li Qinzai immediately excluded all the dandies in Chang'an City.
He focused on those courtiers he had offended.
Standing in front of the empty palace gate, Li Qinzai pondered for a long time before slowly boarding the carriage and returning to the Duke's Mansion.
The trees want to be still but the wind doesn't stop, the temples are as high as the rivers and lakes are far away, they are all out of control.
…………
In the backyard of a post office in the west city of Chang'an City, the Lord of Jinxiang County sat alone in the quiet courtyard with his chin on his face, staring blankly at the clouds in the sky.
At this moment, she had many random thoughts in her mind.
Imagine floating freely like clouds. If you could grow a pair of wings, you would travel in mountains and rivers in this life.
Thinking about the destiny of her life, she is already twenty-nine years old this year, and her father said that she has to consider life-long events. Maybe this year, maybe next year, when her father returns from Bingzhou, it will be the time for her to get married.
Marriage, just a few years ago, seemed to her to be a very distant thing.
At that time, she had never considered this. As she grew older and saw more of her father's misfortunes towards women, she had no expectations for her future husband.
If all men in the world were like her father, dying alone might be a happy thing.
Until...she met Li Qinzai.
A man who is difficult to describe in words. He has unpredictable abilities, a mouth that needs to be pumped, and a lazy but optimistic personality.
Jin Xiang had to admit that this man was very good, very good. But being good was not the reason for falling in love with him.
His tenderness to Cui Jie, the playful banter between the couple, and his careful education of Qiao'er.
She saw all this with her eyes, and during the days when she was a guest at Ganjing Village, she had unknowingly devoted herself to such a life.
What's even worse is that she unknowingly substituted herself as the hostess.
The days flowed quietly on him like gurgling spring water. There was no hustle and bustle of vigorous love, only the sweetness revealed in the calmness, as if even the firewood, rice, oil and salt had a hint of sweetness.
That was the rest of her life that she had been dreaming about, but her best friend lived it instead.
She never deceives people, and she is indeed a little jealous of Cui Jie.
So she chose to leave. If her life didn't belong to her, she shouldn't disturb them.
It was a bit regretful that she and he didn't even have any decent memories of their acquaintance, but they ended it in a hurry.
Maybe he still doesn't know that he has lived in her heart for a while.
The moment she was about to give up, she stood in the cold wind for a long time.
The familiar figure that appeared in my mind couldn't be shaken off.
Jin Xiang sighed sadly.
A maid hurriedly walked into the courtyard and reported: "County Master, I just returned from the market and heard a rumor that the British government is in trouble..."
Jin Xiang straightened up abruptly upon hearing this, and the maid was frightened by her fierce reaction and took two steps back.
Jin Xiang suddenly realized that he had lost his composure, so he unnaturally trimmed his hair and said, "What's wrong with the Young Master?"
"The eldest grandson of the British Duke was imprisoned for the incident. Someone also found out an old story from more than 20 years ago, saying that he had killed someone and looted his property. Some people in the market said that the British Duke had been framed.
.”
Jin Xiang frowned lightly and said: "Two things happened at the same time, both related to the British government. Obviously someone was behind it. Who did General Li offend?"
"I don't know, but I heard that the fifth young master of the Li family was summoned by the British Duke and returned to Chang'an urgently yesterday. It seems that he wanted to deal with these two troubles on behalf of the British Duke."
Jin Xiang's eyes lit up, and then he quickly dimmed and said, "Uncle Li County...has he returned to Chang'an?"
"yes."
Jin Xiang murmured: "He is only in his twenties, can he solve these troubles?"
The maid didn't know how to answer, so she could only lower her head and remain silent.
Jin Xiang seemed to be lost in his own thoughts, and murmured to himself: "He only has the emperor's favor after all, but this time it has affected the British Duke. Can he help the family survive this disaster?"
It must be difficult, right?
What are the dandies in their twenties doing in the city of Chang'an? They play music every night, have fun and get drunk, and work as low-ranking officials under the shadow of kindness.
The only thing they rely on is the power of their family. Without the power of their family, they are nothing.
But this time, he has to shoulder the whole family's rights and wrongs.
Jinxiang feels very difficult just thinking about it.
Over the years, her father had been demoted by the emperor. She had seen her father sitting alone under a lonely lamp in a daze countless times. She also wanted to help her father, but she could do nothing.
Is Li Qinzai today as helpless as she was in the past?
When he imagined Li Qinzai sitting alone and helpless in the secluded courtyard, Jinxiang felt a pang of distress.
After a long time, Jin Xiang gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "It's really my injustice!"
When he looked at the maid aside, Jin Xiang had become calm and dignified.
"Prepare the car and leave the city. I want to see Niu Fangzhi."
As soon as the maid turned around after agreeing, Jin Xiang stopped her again. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Did a scholar come to submit bank papers to my father the day before yesterday?"
"Yes, he originally wanted to submit a bank note to His Highness Prince Teng, but unexpectedly His Highness was in Bingzhou, so the scholar had to leave disappointed."
Jinxiang said slowly: 'I have read the scholar's papers. He writes good policy articles and has insights into the current situation and the art of war. He is a good talent.'
The maid cautiously said: "The county master means..."
"Give him my name card and ask him to become Li Jingchu's disciple. Tell Li Jingchu that I... will send him a talent on behalf of Jie'er. If he can use it, I will keep it. Humph! You're welcome!"
…………
Li Qinzai, who was full of irritability, returned to the Duke's Mansion. As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw a man rushing out of the thorn.
Liu Asi and Lao Wei beside them were shocked. Without thinking, they unsheathed their swords. The two swords flashed, and the people who rushed out were stopped in their tracks. They still maintained their running posture, but did not dare to move.
"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand! I am not a bad person." The visitor said in a trembling voice.
Li Qinzai stood in front of the carriage, looked him up and down, and said, "Who are you? Why are you staying in front of the Duke's Mansion? Why did you scare my driver?"
The visitor was held with two knives on his neck and said: "Is this your honor, Li Jingchu, the uncle of Li County?"
"good."
The visitor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Excuse me for being presumptuous, but I have been recommended by the Lord of Jinxiang County and would like to become a guest of the Li County Uncle."
"Jinxiang County Lord?" Li Qinzai was stunned, then looked at him carefully and said, "Who are you?"
