Qin Huaidao said nothing with a cold face. He felt a little sad about He'er's rapid growth. He actually used the method of changing the nationality to break the limit on the number of workers, broke the caravan into parts, and stayed in various governments to continue doing business, avoiding the restrictions of the imperial court. He also felt that he was underestimated. Thanks to Li Xueyan's talent, when faced with the question of the salt method, he perfectly avoided it by using salt as a substitute for labor money.
The imperial court stipulated in the Salt Law that it was not allowed to sell salt privately, so it used snowflake salt to pay wages to workers. The workers used the snowflake salt to exchange for needed supplies. The quality of snowflake salt was very high, and everyone was willing to exchange it for something, but it was useless. There is no such thing as buying or selling in silver transactions, and the exchangers are all acquaintances, so there is nothing the court can do if they know about it.
There are tens of thousands of people working for Qinjiazhuang, and everyone brings some, and the sales are still good.
But the behavior of the imperial court completely angered Qin Huaidao. Regardless of whether it was the Li family of Zhao County who was responsible or not, it would not have been possible to reach this point without Li Er's push and fuel. Now that they are at odds, there is no need to worry about anything.
After some thought, Qin Huaidao left the silver he was carrying, and with difficulty in moving, he told Shen Mei: "Tomorrow you will take people into Chang'an to lurk, and set a fire at the Li family's mansion in Zhao County at midnight tomorrow night, and then quickly Evacuate and don’t worry about anything else.”
"Follow the order!" Shen Mei agreed. As a killer, this was easy. Although she was curious about why Qin Huaidao did this, she was smart enough not to ask any more questions.
Qin Huaidao left quickly with the team protecting the village, and went into battle lightly, much faster.
When daylight was about to break, the imperial army that had blocked Qinjiazhuang obviously relaxed, and it was difficult to stop them. Qin Huaidao was too familiar with his territory, so he led his men to take advantage of the surrounding terrain cover and quietly advanced to the rear of Qinjiazhuang.
There are mountains behind Qinjiazhuang, and the wall is built at the foot of the hillside. There are not many imperial guards guarding it. They yawned and used the cover of bushes to carefully sneak under the city wall. Qin Huaidao leaned against the wall, folded his hands on his abdomen, and whispered: "Step on my palm and go up."
This kind of training has been done in Chashan, and everyone is very skilled. Immediately, several team members who guarded the village followed Qin Huaidao and leaned against the wall with their hands crossed on their abdomens.
The others took a few steps back, ran up, stepped on their palms with one foot, and used the strength to run up. They climbed up the wall with both hands and shrank their bodies. Instead of jumping down immediately, they stretched out their hands to pull up the people below.
Work in pairs and work together in a tacit understanding.
After a while, everyone climbed over the wall and walked quickly along the hillside through the woods. Soon they came to the courtyard on the top of the mountain. The team members guarding the courtyard were immediately alert and gathered around them.
Seeing that the guards were alert, Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction, walked out of the shadows, and came to the cement road. The guard who rushed up recognized Qin Huaidao's identity at a glance, and was immediately overjoyed. If he was happy, he would shout and salute, as if he had found him all at once. Backbone.
"Don't make any noise, disperse and continue to be on guard." Qin Huaidao waved his hand and said in a low voice.
"Here!" Everyone reacted quickly, accepting the order in a low voice, and dispersed excitedly, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Qinjiazhuang is in turmoil, but now that Qin Huaidao has returned, he is like a needle in the sea, and everyone has nothing to fear anymore.
"You guys also go home and have a rest, and come here after lunch." Qin Huaidao looked at the people behind him.
Everyone nodded tacitly and hurried down the mountain to leave.
Qin Huaidao hurried all the way to the gate of the courtyard. The guard recognized Qin Huaidao and saluted in surprise: "Young Master."
The voice was filled with excitement, surprise, and excitement.
"Thank you for your hard work, please remember to keep it a secret." Qin Huaidao said politely and strode in. The guards lurking in the dark all recognized Qin Huaidao and came forward to greet him excitedly, smiling brightly. For everyone, Qin Huaidao was the backbone, the sea-calming needle, and the hope.
Qin Huaidao gave a few words of encouragement and warned: "Continue to be vigilant and remember, don't reveal my whereabouts to anyone."
"Here!" Everyone solemnly agreed, dispersed again, and disappeared into the darkness.
Qin Huaidao nodded with satisfaction. It is rare that everyone can still fulfill their duties and never abandon Xue Rengui without Xue Rengui. This is a rare thing and we can stride forward.
Not long after, Qin Huaidao came to the backyard. Thinking that He'er had been captured, he turned around and went to the yard diagonally opposite. He pushed the door, but the door was blocked from the inside. Qin Huaidao climbed over the wall and entered the house, pushing open a wing inside.
The red candle was swaying in the room, and Li Xueyan was sleeping deeply, with her brows furrowed, as if she was thinking of something bad. There was also a steady snoring sound in the outer room, which was the sound of Xiaoyu sleeping.
Qin Huaidao came to the bed and sat down, brushed Li Xueyan's brow, looked at the delicate face and swollen belly, and felt moved in his heart. He pulled up the quilt that had been kicked off, and chuckled: "You are not honest when sleeping, don't worry.
I'm back, no matter how big the difficulty is, it will pass, I promise."
Perhaps due to telepathy or light sleep, Li Xueyan's brows twitched and he slowly opened his eyes. He vaguely saw a face close at hand, and was so frightened that he instinctively screamed.
Qin Huaidao covered his mouth and said quickly: "Yan'er, it's me!"
The familiar voice made Li Xueyan feel at ease, and he gradually calmed down. He quickly saw who the face was, and he was overjoyed. He grabbed Qin Huaidao's hand and couldn't help but shed tears: "Lang Jun, you are finally back."
The voice was filled with excitement, grievance, and endless joy.
"I'm back, don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Qin Huaidao wiped away his tears and spoke in a calm and solemn tone.
"Well, I know, it'll be nice if you come back." Li Xueyan snorted softly, her eyes full of dependence.
"Everything is known. You can rest peacefully. The smell of blood and qi on my body is too strong, which is not good for the fetus. I need to wash it off first and talk about it later." Qin Huaidao said and stood up.
"Let me help you. It used to be done by He'er. Now that He'er is gone, it's up to me to do it." Li Xueyan said, getting up and shouting in a loud voice: "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu..."
"Oh, miss, I'm here." A clear voice came from the outer room, and then a beautiful figure rushed into the room. He quickly stopped when he found someone else in the room, his eyes were full of shock, and he was about to shout a warning, and suddenly recognized
It was Qin Huaidao. He suppressed the warning sound and shouted in surprise: "Aunt... uncle?!"
"It's me, go prepare hot water. Remember, don't reveal the news of my return." Qin Huaidao warned, although the servants in the house have been carefully selected and there are no spies, but just in case, there are still thousands of forbidden troops outside.
.
"Oh... I understand. Don't worry, uncle. I promise not to tell nonsense. If anyone asks, just say that the lady just wants to take a bath." Xiaoyu came to his senses and ran out happily.
The little girl comes from a wealthy family and is pretty smart.
Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction, took off his coat and threw it aside. He gently stroked Li Xueyan's big belly. A feeling of guilt surged into his heart. He squatted down, put his ear to his belly and said, "My child, daddy is back."
Soon, Qin Huaidao heard something moving in his stomach and his heart melted.
"He's kicking you." Li Xueyan smiled happily.
"I have wronged you during this time."
"No grievance, as long as you do well, my mother-in-law is taking care of you during this period, and several aunts from the Duke's Mansion are also helping. You don't have to do anything. But you are in danger out there... Shen Mei and the others still haven't found Zhao Jun Li I'm sorry to disappoint you." Li Xueyan said with an apology.
"The evidence has been obtained. There is no need to investigate this matter further." Qin Huaidao waved his hand, hesitated, and said truthfully: "I will fight back tomorrow night and leave Chang'an to find He'er. I will be heartbroken if I don't rescue He'er. An, I hope you understand."
It's very unfair to Li Xueyan to leave again just after coming back after being away for a few months. It's not possible to see the birth of the child.
Li Xueyan nodded silently without saying anything, and he knew very well in his heart that if Qin Huaidao did not save He'er, he would be heartless and heartless, but saving people is not a trivial matter. Xue Rengui took people away for more than two months without success. Unexpected and very reluctant to give up.
This ambivalence left Li Xueyan at a loss as to what to do.
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and continued: "If we launch a counterattack tomorrow night, it may completely anger the Holy Emperor and bring down the wrath of thunder, but I have to do it, otherwise I will be sorry for the trust and support of several princes and brothers. Therefore, I I will write you a letter of divorce, so if something happens, you can still protect yourself by relying on the letter of divorce and your status as a royal relative."
"No, even if I die, I am still a member of the Qin family." Li Xueyan suddenly became anxious. Seeing what Qin Huaidao wanted to say, she rushed to say: "This is absolutely impossible. It is a great blessing to marry you. I I don't want to receive a divorce letter in this life, even if I fake it to protect myself, it won't work. At worst, I will die. If He'er can die for you, so can I."
"I……"
Qin Huaidao was so moved that he didn't know what to say. With such a wife, what could a husband ask for?
"No matter what you do, no matter what happens in the future, it won't work anyway." Li Xueyan insisted, her eyes full of determination, but also a little nervous and afraid.
"Okay, then I won't write it. At worst, we will live and die together and continue to be husband and wife in the underworld." Qin Huaidao was moved, and he held Li Xueyan in his arms and solemnly promised, his eyes firm.
I secretly swore in my heart that no one who dared to touch his family would be spared!
