Now Zhao Huan's trust in Li Qi is really great. Without Li Qi around, he feels insecure and has no choice. Li Qi had no choice but to agree to Zhao Huan and stay in the East Palace for two days, but he had to go home and say
One sound.
As soon as he left the palace, the depressed look on Li Qi's face immediately disappeared without a trace, and there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth. Things went much smoother than he imagined.
"Bu Shuai, where are you going now?"
"Let's go to Zuixianju first."
Ma Qiao drove a carriage and drove Li Qi slowly towards Zuixianju.
After driving for about a while, Maqiao outside the car suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? That---isn't that the Yameni?"
Yanei? That brother Qiu---?
Li Qi hurriedly opened the car curtain and looked outside. He saw a group of people taking big white steamed buns and giving them to the homeless people on the roadside. A gangster wearing a red flower stood behind and kept giving random instructions, making everyone else confused.
It's a rush.
"Remember, remember, this is given to you by Gao Qingtian."
"Thank you, Mr. Qingtian. Thank you, Mr. Qingtian."
"Thanks...."
"Wow haha---! Hey, Li Qi."
Gao Yanei suddenly saw Li Qi coming towards him and hurriedly ran over.
Just when Li Qi was about to get out of the car, Gao Yanei jumped directly into the car and got into the car. He didn't regard himself as an outsider at all. This made Li Qi break out in a cold sweat. These two idiots were still so "lively"!
"Li Qi, you are a third-rank official after all, but there isn't even a cup of tea in the car!" Gao Yanei got into the car and was very dissatisfied when he saw that the car was empty.
How long have you been thinking about enjoying yourself? Li Qidao: "Ya Nei, when did you come back?"
Gao Yanei hesitantly said: "Do you miss me?"
Li Qi broke into a cold sweat and said angrily: "I don't want to."
Gao Yanei asked for his own displeasure, curled his lips and remained silent in anger.
Li Qi was helpless, smiled and asked tentatively: "The Taiwei is back too?"
Gao Yanei shook his head and said: "No. My father is still in Yingtian Mansion."
It seems that Brother Qiu also knows the current situation in Tokyo. He will never come back until the Jin army retreats. But why do these idiots appear here? Li Qi asked curiously: "Then you---."
"I sneaked back."
"Well...."
I knew it was like this! Li Qidao: "Ya Nei, you are really brave. Now the people in Tokyo are in a hurry to go out. It's good for you to come back in a hurry."
Gao Yanei said excitedly: "Li Qi, are we going to fight?"
Li Qi asked curiously: "Is there anything exciting about this?"
Gao Yanei said excitedly: "Of course it's worth getting excited about. I'm coming back this time to kill those golden dogs."
Do you want to die? Li Qi wiped a handful of cold sweat and said, "Are you kidding me?"
Gao Yanei said: "Of course not. Others are afraid of the golden dog, but I am not afraid. Moreover, Xiaojiu and the others are in the capital, and I have a strong sense of loyalty. Of course I cannot leave them behind. We four young masters have always lived and died together."
.The fights are all done together."
These idiots are really ---. Li Qi couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Ya Nei, this is not a fight. If it doesn't go well, someone will die."
Gao Yanei said simply: "This is not simple. If you do it well, no one will die! Also, Li Qi, I want to ask you something?"
Li Qi was stunned and said: "What's the matter?"
Gao Yanei said hehely: "I heard from someone in Yingtian Mansion that the princess and princess of Liao Kingdom were captured by the Jin people, right?"
Li Qi blinked blankly and said: "Uh...it seems like this is the case."
Gao Yanei said with a lewd smile: "Then when we go to the Kingdom of Jin, can you give me some Jurchen women?"
Li Qi was completely defeated and said: "Yanei, have you not understood the situation? We are being beaten now."
Gao Yanei said: "I know this, but in a war, isn't it just that you hit me and I hit you? Today they come to fight us. One day, we will run to fight them, otherwise we will suffer a lot. This is not the same as fighting.
A truth!"
Could this be a truth? Li Qi was amused by this guy's words. His dull mood for many days was relieved at this moment, and he said: "Okay! I promise you."
"Now, this is what you said, I remember it. Do you want to sign a contract?"
"Get out!" Li Qi rolled his eyes at this idiot and signed the contract. Are you kidding? Then he asked, "By the way, has your father been back for a long time?"
When Gao Yanei heard about Brother Qiu, he felt uncomfortable all over. He was afraid that Li Qi would sell him out because he was afraid of Brother Qiu's flattery. He said: "I don't know, maybe I won't be able to come back this time. Okay, I
Let’s go.” After saying that, he immediately got out of the car.
"This guy."
Li Qi smiled and shook his head.
When they came to Zuixianju, Xiaoyu and Wu Furong were both there. After all, the world was not peaceful now, so they tried to stay in the store as much as possible.
Li Qi called them to the backyard and asked seriously: "Uncle Wu, Xiaoyu, how is the grain harvest going?"
Xiaoyu said: "All the money has been exchanged for grain, and it has been placed in the designated granaries in accordance with the instructions of the elder brother."
Wu Furong suddenly said: "Li Qi, I heard that the Jin army has almost reached the edge of the Yellow River. All your granaries are on the edge of the capital. There are no soldiers stationed there. Now you should hurry up and transport them to the city.
No, once the Jin army comes, everything will be gone."
Li Qi smiled and said: "No rush, no rush, just wait." After a pause, he said again: "Uncle Wu, go and post the notice immediately. Starting from tomorrow, Zuixianju will be closed first."
Wu Furong was stunned and said: "Why is this?"
Li Qidao: "Uncle Wu, do you think the restaurant business is still necessary these days? Who can guarantee that the refugees outside will not rush into the store to grab food. Besides, I have another purpose in Zuixianju, so go quickly
Get ready."
Wu Furong thought about it, business had plummeted recently, and it didn't make much difference whether he could open the door or not. He nodded, and then went out.
Li Qi turned to Xiaoyu and said: "Xiaoyu, go and check immediately how many cans, instant noodles, biscuits and other food we still have in Zuixianju. Whether it is to be shipped to customers or not, there is no need to worry about it. Anyway,
Now those customers can't rush to get it, so they can all stay and collect the food first. I will have other uses for it then."
"Yes. I'll do it now."
...
After coming out of Zuixianju, Li Qi dragged his tired body back to Bai Mansion. As soon as he entered the door, a person suddenly jumped out in front of him, which startled Li Qi. When he took a closer look, the person who came was none other than his father-in-law.
Bai Shizhong suddenly said angrily: "My father-in-law, do you know that scaring people can scare them to death?"
Bai Shizhong seemed to have something urgent to discuss with him, so he didn't pay attention to it and said, "You come over with me first."
As he spoke, he directly pulled Li Qi to a corner on the side, and then asked nervously: "Li Qi, where were you going just now?"
Li Qi was slightly startled and said: "Zui Xianju."
Bai Shizhong clicked his tongue and said, "What is Zuixianju? Who asked you this? What I'm asking is where did you go after you came out of the main hall just now?"
Li Qi hesitated and said: "East Palace."
Sure enough. Bai Shizhong said: "But His Highness called you?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "If not, where would I go?"
Bai Shizhong asked anxiously: "Then what did His Highness say?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "What do you want your highness to say?"
Bai Shizhong was stunned for a moment, and his face turned red. He looked very embarrassed.
Li Qi glanced at him, sighed, and said: "You are my father-in-law, so I won't hide this from you. You must also know that the possibility of the emperor passing on the throne to the crown prince is very high. If His Highness ascends the throne, , My father-in-law, you are determined to stay in Tokyo, but I can tell you now that His Highness will never ascend the throne at this time."
Bai Shizhong's face lit up when he heard this. He said, "Is this true?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Your Highness also asked me to ask for help. I am also sure to prevent the emperor from passing the throne to the crown prince. However, the emperor and the crown prince will definitely not stay in Tokyo. If you want to go with them, father-in-law, hurry up. Go get ready."
Bai Shizhong wanted to run away for a long time, nodded quickly, and suddenly asked: "What about you?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I can't leave just yet. His Highness has other tasks for me. The Red Slaves will also stay with me."
Bai Shizhong looked at Li Qi with a hint of worry and said, "What is the purpose of Your Highness keeping you here at this time?"
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "This--it's hard to explain in words! Father-in-law, before this matter is decided, you must not tell anyone, otherwise, we may not be able to leave."
With these words, Bai Shizhong could not say anything more. He nodded repeatedly and wanted to say something to Li Qi, but he felt ashamed because he wanted to escape after all.
Li Qi didn't know what he was thinking, so he said with a smile: "My father-in-law, have a nice trip. If you go to Hangzhou, please help me say a good word to Qiniang."
When Bai Shizhong saw that Li Qidu had said this, he sighed softly and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you bring it here. You must be careful when you stay here!"
Although he hoped that Li Qi would escape with him, the current situation was beyond his control. He was lucky to be able to escape by himself.
Li Qi smiled and nodded, said "Excuse me", and then left. Bai Shizhong hurriedly prepared his luggage and was always on standby to go to Jiangnan at any time.
...
Time was running out, and Song Huizong could not think any more. Moreover, he had already made up his mind to escape, so he naturally wanted to speed up the process. He first worried about Cai Jing, Li Bangyan, Li Qi, Zhao Huan, Wu Min and other close ministers and called them to open a small meeting. meeting, preparing to tell them his decision, and then announce it in court.
The ministers stood in the hall with different faces, some with a hint of joy, some with a look of sadness, and some with a look of anger.
Obviously, they had anticipated Song Huizong's decision.
In fact, this was all doomed, because with Song Huizong's character, it was impossible for him to choose to fight to the death with the Jin army.
Those who are happy naturally seem to be those who can escape with Song Huizong, those who are sad are those who want to escape but cannot escape, and those who are angry are those who are opposed to escaping.
At this time, Song Huizong was no longer as glorious as before. His eyes were dim and lifeless, with a hint of shame, and he said a little evasively: "My dear friends, I have no nostalgia for the throne."
