In fact, even if Mrs. Bai didn't say anything, Li Qi also knew what she wanted to say. It was nothing more than what Bai Qiannuo should do and what he shouldn't do in the court after he went to war. Fortunately, Li Qi didn't have a party member in the court. Otherwise, let's just talk about it and ask him to be careful along the way.
The fact was as Li Qi expected. The two talked in the carriage for half an hour before Madam Bai let him go. Unfortunately, Madam Bai did not invite him to sit in and accompany Qiniang.
.......
"U---!"
In front of the western suburbs manor, after Anan parked the carriage, Li Qi jumped out of the carriage. Before he could stand still, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure standing in front of the door. He secretly said something bad, turned around and left.
"Li Qi.---Li Qi."
"Brother Li, it's Madam!"
"I heard it."
Li Qi glared at Chen Anan slightly, turned around, pretending to be surprised and said: "Huh? Madam? Why are you here? What a coincidence!"
Just now you turned around and left when you saw me, and you said it was a coincidence. Mrs. Qin came over and said truthfully: "It's not a coincidence, I waited for you here specially."
Li Qi continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb and said: "Really? What are you waiting for me to do in the middle of the night? If this spreads out, it will be bad for my wife's reputation."
It was really tiring to talk to this person. Mrs. Qin's eyebrows showed a hint of exhaustion as she said, "I have something serious to talk to you about."
"What's the business?"
Mrs. Qin said: "About Sister Li."
Li Qi said matter-of-factly: "I have already found out about this matter. It is someone deliberately playing a prank."
"Do you think I will believe this?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I have no way to control it, but this is what I say."
"If someone really did it maliciously, then why did you go to Jiangnan in advance?"
Li Qi knew that the red slave must have told her this, and there was no point in denying it, so he said: "This is a military secret, so I have no comment."
Mrs. Qin felt a little headache when she saw that Li Qi was not getting enough food and salt. She simply stopped asking so many questions and nodded: "Okay, I will go to the south of the Yangtze River with you."
"What?"
Li Qi said in surprise: "Madam, what did you just say? Are you going to Jiangnan too?"
Mrs. Qin nodded affirmatively.
Boss Li Qi said dissatisfied: "Aren't you? When I paid for you, I asked you, no. To be more precise, I asked you to go to Jiangnan, but you refused to go, and you said you would never leave Tokyo in this life. Really? You worshiped yourself in Bianliang like a Bodhisattva, and now you are willing to leave the capital for a rumor. Are you sure you are serious? Don't you know how hurtful these words are?"
Mrs. Qin sighed: "How can this be the same? I didn't go there just for fun."
Li Qi said distressedly: "Madam, I told you, that's just a rumor. Besides, it can't be reached in two or three steps, so why do you bother."
Mrs. Qin shook her head slightly and said, "Even if this is a rumor, why not go and visit Sister Li?"
"Ouch."
Li Qi rubbed his temples and said, "Can we wait two days to discuss this matter? I have a severe headache."
Mrs. Qin said: "Wait two days and you will be gone."
Ri. It seems that this beautiful girl is not very stupid. She cannot be deceived by this. Li Qi hesitated for a while. He looked at Mrs. Qin again and sighed: "Madam, I will tell you the truth. I don't care about this matter. It's a rumor, or it's not. If I go, Sister Qingzhao will definitely be safe and sound. Today, except for the Emperor, no one dares to hurt Sister Qingzhao, so you can rest assured."
"You finally admit it."
Li Qi raised his hands and said, "You are going to elope with me, can I not admit it?"
"Go. Who eloped with you?" Mrs. Qin spat, with a slight blush on her face, and said: "Actually, I also know that you will not let Sister Li get hurt."
Hey! Your mind has finally come to its senses. Li Qi quickly said: "That's it, then you---."
In the middle of his words, Mrs. Qin interrupted him directly and said, "But you can only prevent the outside world from harming Sister Li, but can you heal the wounds in her heart?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and a flash of worry unconsciously flashed in his eyes.
Mrs. Qin continued: "Even if you rescue Sister Li and restore her innocence, so what? You can't save Mr. Zhao. I have experienced the pain of losing my husband firsthand. I know what Sister Li is feeling at this time.
What she needs now is not innocence or fairness. Compared with her relatives, these things are actually not important. What she needs now is to find someone to talk to and someone to accompany her."
When she talked about it later, there were tears in her eyes.
Yes, the life trajectories of these two women are so similar. Although Madam did not marry into an official family and did not experience the pain caused by political turmoil, she also lost her husband and was childless.
Li Qi's face showed some emotion, he sighed and said: "Maybe you are right, but do you know why I don't want you to go to Hangzhou?"
Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
Li Qidao: "That's because I think Sister Qingzhao has had a great influence on you, and it can even be said that it has changed the trajectory of your life. Without Sister Qingzhao, you might be much happier than you are now. And now Qingzhao
My sister's life will usher in a new turning point. If you are by her side at this time, I'm worried that you will be affected by her again. I don't know whether this influence will be good or bad for your future, but
You can't live by looking at other people's trajectories. Sometimes, you should ask yourself more about what you really want."
A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Mrs. Qin's mouth, and she said: "You must have been holding these words in your heart for a long time?"
Li Qi raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Did Sister Qingzhao tell you?"
Mrs. Qin nodded and said: "She apologized to me very solemnly at the beginning and hoped that I could get along with Brother Zheng. But you were all wrong. If it hadn't been for Sister Li, if there hadn't been the Yuanyou party membership incident, I would certainly not be where I am now.
Same, but the problem is, all this happened, it also affected many people, not just me, this is fate. Buddha once said, if you don't trouble yourself, others will never trouble you. Mine
Life changes according to my heart. Whether it is good or bad, happy or sad, it has nothing to do with others. No one in this world owes me an apology, and it will be the same in the future."
Li Qi frowned and said, "Then you have never complained?"
"Of course I have complained." Mrs. Qin sighed softly and said, "But I am also complaining about myself. Moreover, in recent years, I have understood the truth and no longer complain."
Li Qi asked curiously: "What's the reason? Tell me, you know. I love blaming others the most."
Mrs. Qin said softly: "Face it with a smile and don't complain. Be leisurely, follow your heart, be spontaneous, and follow the fate. What is destined to change your life is only a hundred years later, when that flower blooms."
Li Qi thought for a while and said: "The Analects of Confucius?"
"Buddhist scriptures." Mrs. Qin said speechlessly: "Have you not read the Analects of Confucius?" Of course she knew that Li Qi must not have read the Buddhist scriptures, but Li Qi's words from the Analects of Confucius still surprised her.
"I've read it, but it's not complete. You know, I don't have as much free time as you, and I still have to support my family." Li Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "What if I don't agree to take you with me?
"
"Then I will go myself."
"But have you ever traveled far?"
"That's why I'm asking for your help."
"It seems that you are quite self-aware." Li Qi shook his head with a smile and asked, "Uncle Wang and the others know?"
"Um."
"Then what did they agree to?"
"Um."
Mrs. Qin's eyes seemed to be a little evasive.
"You won't use me as a cover, will you?"
Mrs. Qin said nothing.
"Okay. Your IQ has exceeded my estimate. It seems that I have to re-evaluate. It's really Shete, you know it is like this." Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "I never believe in Buddhism, what I believe in is
I myself, I can promise you, but this has nothing to do with Buddha. I don’t know if what he said is right. I will set off early the day after tomorrow. If you decide to go, let Anan take you to a small village three miles away in the southern suburbs.
The woods are waiting for me.”
Mrs. Qin's sad face finally showed a smile. Strike while the iron is hot: "Then can you tell me how Sister Li is doing now?"
Li Qidao: "As you said, the outside world will not cause any harm to sister Qingzhao. The key lies in herself. As for what exactly happened, I am not very clear about it at the moment. I can only find out when I arrive in Hangzhou."

......．
Expedition---Although it is just two words, the content contained in it is too complicated. Just from the fact that the troops and horses have not moved, and the food and grass have been prepared first, this is not a simple project. There are really too many things to prepare for.
, Fortunately, Li Qi was well prepared and had stationed his troops in the south. In addition, grain and grass were directly dispatched from the Yangtze River Basin, so his expedition could be said to be carried lightly.
In addition to Ma Qiao and Jiugui's personal bodyguards, he also brought a hundred Ouchi masters with him. Of course, these one hundred Ouchi masters were secretly protecting him. He was not a child, and he wanted to support him.
, usually such people die quickly, Tong Guan is the best proof.
Because neither Zhao Kai nor he wanted to disclose his whereabouts too early to avoid alerting the enemy, his expedition had always been carried out in secret.
In the early morning, the cold wind was biting, and overnight, heavy snow had connected the sky and the earth into one piece. As far as the eye could see, it was a vast expanse of white.
With the support of all the beauties, Li Qi went outside. A gust of cold wind blew by. He couldn't help shivering and cursed: "What a bad weather! This guy really wants to go against me. He knows that I have to go on a business trip today.
It’s really annoying that it’s snowing so heavily!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone say in front of him: "Such beautiful scenery has become unheard of in your mouth."
Li Qi looked up and saw a person standing in the cold wind, with his hands behind his back and looking at him with a smile. He was so handsome. Li Qi quickly went up to him with his three wives and said: "Wei Chen (civilian woman)
See the Emperor."
This person is none other than Zhao Kai.
"No need to be polite."
Zhao Kai raised his hand and winked at Li Qi.
Li Qi coughed a few times and said to Feng Yinu: "You guys go to the car and wait."
The three women bowed to Zhao Kai Yingying again, and then got into the carriage first.
Zhao Kai whispered: "Are you still taking them with you?"
I do think so! Li Qidao: "Of course not. I'm going to fight, so why would I take a woman with me? I still have this kind of professional ethics, they are just sending me away."
Zhao Kai nodded.
Li Qi said again: "Your Majesty, you are busy with official duties, so you don't need to see me off. I will come as soon as I go. It won't take long."
Zhao Kai laughed and said: "Come here as soon as you go? You are really relaxed!"
Li Qidao: "If this had happened before, maybe I would still be a little nervous, but the last time I fought against Wanyan Zongwang, I had already experienced the moment of life and death. Even if I face Wanyan Zongwang again, I will not feel scared, let alone
Not to mention Dali and Jiaozhi."
Zhao Kai said: "But don't be careless because of this. Last time we defeated Jiaozhi, it was a great shame and humiliation. They have the capital to fail, but we don't."
Li Qi nodded and said, "I understand, just wait for my good news."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Just deal with Dali and Jiaozhi with all your heart, I will take care of the rest."
"Um."
Li Qi was about to speak but stopped: "Your Majesty, I still want to ask you for something."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as the economic officer doesn't make a big mistake, I will give her some mercy. Moreover, as long as you are here, I believe no one in the court will dare to bully her. Everyone knows that you only have so much courage."
Da, who is not afraid of your revenge?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty, I am so unjust. The Prime Minister can hold a boat in his belly."
"But you are not the prime minister."
"I know, what I mean is that my belly is much bigger than Qin Hui's, and I can even fight a naval battle."
"Don't brag here." Zhao Kai snorted and waved to the two followers standing not far away. The two followers immediately came over. One of them was holding a mahogany box in his hand, and the other was
He was carrying a tray with a pot of tea and two teacups on it.
Zhao Kai took the mahogany box and said: "My father asked me to give this to you. It contains a cloak made of white tiger skin. This white tiger skin was given to my father by Duan Zhengyan, the king of Dali.
And the white tiger is known as the king of beasts in the south."
The implication is that he hopes Li Qi can conquer Dali.
Li Qi didn't care about the meaning. He loved the white tiger skin, so he quickly took it and said, "The Emperor is still generous. Oh no, Your Majesty, I'm not saying that you are stingy."
This guy obviously did it on purpose. Zhao Kai was so angry that he took two teacups from another attendant and said angrily: "You are really right, I don't have anything to give you."
, you don’t want to drink, then I will drink tea instead of wine, and wish you a speedy triumphant return.”
Sure enough, he is an iron rooster. Li Qi sarcastically said with a smile: "Isn't courtesy more important than affection?"
The two clinked their glasses and drank it all.
Zhao Kai put down the tea cup, patted Li Qi's shoulder, and said with a hint of reluctance: "Okay, it's getting late, you should set off."
