Li Qi has always been a very calm person, or a very rational person, but after all, humans are not gods. Since they are not gods, they will inevitably lose their rationality.
In fact, what Ouyang Che said is absolutely correct. You are a dignified envoy, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and shoulder the responsibility of the world's society. You go to take risks for a woman. Are you kidding? Have you put the people of the world on your shoulders?
In your heart, do you still have the emperor in your heart?
Don't say that Mrs. Qin has nothing to do with you, Li Qi. Even if Mrs. Qin is your wife, you can't do this!
If you do this, you are irresponsible to the people of the world!
Li Qi didn't understand this truth, but he was not given any time to think about it at this time. Judging from the other party's arrangements, it seemed that he was not going to give him any time to think about it.
Although Li Qi is an extremely rational person, no matter what he does, he always has the most basic condition, that is, not to do anything that makes him regret. He knows that doing so is very irrational, but he also knows that
, if he didn’t go, he would definitely regret it, so he jumped on the boat.
Moreover, if he hadn't gone, Mrs. Qin would definitely not have survived. But if he had gone, although both of them might not survive, it was also possible that both of them would survive at the same time.
This is a game.
But the stakes are a bit high.
Li Qi, who was far away from the shore, looked at the vast lake and calmed down, because he had no way out and could only rely on himself now. If he had just arrived in Song Dynasty, he might still be nervous.
His legs were trembling, but he had experienced so many storms and waves over the years, and had risked his life countless times, so he had no fear at all and secretly thought about countermeasures.
"Uncle, where are you from?"
Li Qi suddenly glanced at the boatman and asked with a smile.
When the boatman was on the shore, he had been frightened by Li Qi's ferocious eyes and had not dared to speak. Now when he heard Li Qi take the initiative to speak, he said: "Sir, I am from Hangzhou, so I am from Hangzhou."
Live around here.”
Li Qi snorted and said, "Don't you know your surname?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, little guy Hu Xi."
"Hu Xi, what a good name. If you read it backwards, it means West Lake." Li Qi smiled, suddenly fumbled around in his arms, took out an ingot of silver, and said, "Uncle, I have two taels of silver here.
But I’m afraid I’ll need some copper coins later, can you exchange some with me?”
After coming to Hangzhou, Li Qi got rid of the bad habit of not bringing money. Because in Bianliang, his face is like a credit card, and he usually doesn't need to bring money with him. But it is different in Hangzhou. There is no such thing here.
How many people knew him, and he had no intention of exposing his identity, so he went out. He always carried the money with him, just in case. For this reason, he also asked a guard around him to remind him at all times. But because of the copper coins
It was too heavy, so he chose to take the silver with him when he went out.
Hu Xi glanced at the money and wondered: "But the villain doesn't have that much money!"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay. You can exchange whatever you have now."
"this---."
"Uncle, don't you believe me?"
"How dare you, a villain? Even if an adult wants money from a villain, the villain would not dare to say a word. It's just that the villain thinks that doing so is too cheap for the villain."
Li Qi chuckled: "Just because of your words, even if you only have one penny, I will change it."
Hu Xi hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I took ten cents with me when I went out today, and I just made a lot of money. I will give it to you now."
"Don't."
Li Qi raised his hand and pointed at this hourglass and said: "Don't forget, I'm still in a hurry. Just tell me where you put it, and I'll take it myself."
"oh."
Hu Xi was still rowing the oar, but he raised his head to the lower left and said, "Put the money in the hidden compartment next to it."
"is it here?"
"Well, that's right there."
Li Qi opened it with his hands and found that there was indeed a hidden compartment with a cyan cloth bag inside. Li Qi took out the cloth bag and weighed it. It was about a full amount of money.
Hu Xi added: "There are still ten coins in the villain's arms."
"Oh, no need, just take the ten cents."
Li Qi shook his head, walked forward, handed over the silver, and said, "Here."
Hu Xi looked at the silver, his eyes flashed, and he said with a simple smile: "Thank you, sir." Then he took the silver and put it in his arms. It could be seen that his rowing speed was much faster.
Li Qi smiled and nodded, thinking to himself, it seems that he is not an accomplice of the gangster.
It was obvious that he had just deliberately tested Hu Xi, but judging from various signs, this person was definitely not an accomplice of the gangster.
A quarter of an hour later, when the hourglass finished dripping, the boat just docked.
Li Qi looked around and found that this place seemed to be a barren mountain with no human habitation. The shore was full of weeds and strange rocks. He asked Hu Xi: "The other party just asked you to send me here? Didn't they say anything else?"
Hu Xi shook his head.
"Why aren't you here yet?"
At this moment, a person suddenly sat up in the grass on the shore. When the person saw Li Qi, he quickly stood up and asked, "May I ask if the person on the boat is from Li Qi?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Exactly."
The man hurried over. He was also dressed as a boatman. His fluffy hair was comparable to the weeds beside him. He looked about forty years old and said: "Little man Zhao Quan, there is a young man who gave me a
Qian, ordered me to wait here for Mr. Li Daguan."
Hu Xi suddenly shouted: "It turns out to be Brother Zhao."
"Huh? Hu Xi."
Li Qi looked around and said, "Do you know each other?"
"We are all boatmen who make a living on the West Lake." Hu Xi explained.
After hearing this, Li Qi felt relieved, jumped off the boat, and asked, "Where is that young master now?"
Zhao Quandao: "This little man doesn't know. The young master just asked him to take the high officials to the back mountain."
This guy is really shrewd! Now that he is here, of course Li Qi can only force himself to wear his hair, nodded and said: "Let's go."
Li Qi followed Zhao Quan and walked quickly along the mountain road towards the back.
After walking for about a stick of incense, Li Qi and Zhao Quan came to the back of the mountain, but there was no one there, except for a small boat parked among the lotus flowers on the shore.
Li Qi pointed at the small boat and said, "This is ---."
"Oh, this belongs to the villain. It was the young master who ordered the villain to park the boat here."
Li Qi walked over and took a look. He saw an hourglass placed on the bow of the boat, and a green cloth bag beside it. It was bulging and looked like it contained copper coins. There was also a piece of white paper under the bag.
"Huh? Where did these things come from?" Zhao Quan couldn't help but was stunned when he saw the hourglass and cloth bag.
Li Qi walked over and picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, and saw that it said - If we can't rush to the back of the canyon to the east before the hourglass finishes dripping, then I will have to let Wang Yao's body go to meet you, sir.
Remember, only one person is allowed to come.
Damn! You have played so many tricks, do I have the chance to bring more people? Li Qi asked Zhao Quan: "Do you know the canyon to the east?"
Zhao Quan nodded and said: "The villain knows."
"Then take me there quickly, the reward is here."
Li Qi pointed at the bag of money and said, "You have to be quick. You have to get there before the hourglass finishes dripping."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Zhao Quan was making money again, and his face was full of smiles. He quickly got on the boat, looked at the hourglass and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely deliver you on time."
Encouraged by money, Zhao Quan really worked hard, and even more so.
After walking for about another meal, Li Qi finally came to the canyon. Although it is called a canyon, it is actually not very narrow and very spacious. The water flow is not very fast, but there are two cliffs on both sides.
After passing through the canyon, the field of vision suddenly became very broad. The water surface was as calm as a big mirror.
Li Qi looked around and saw a small boat parked in the center of the lake. It was a little bigger than this boat. He didn't know why. Anyway, Li Qi was gnashing his teeth when he saw this small boat. But now he had to endure it.
He pointed at the small boat and said, "Let's go over there."
Because the lake was so wide, Zhao Quan rowed for a long time before he reached the small boat.
"Who is coming?"
Before Li Qi could speak, a crisp voice sounded from behind the cabin.
Huh! You are finally willing to show up. Li Qi looked at the small boat and thought, there are only two or three people on this boat at most. It seems that I still have a chance. He hummed: "You asked me to come,
Are you still asking me? If you want to ask, it should be me asking you."
"Master Li?"
"Exactly!"
"Come on board."
Li Qi said to Zhao Quan: "Lean closer."
There was a soft "bang" sound. The two ships connected.
Li Qi raised his legs and stepped forward.
The person at the back of the cabin said again: "Boatman, you can leave now, oh, leave towards the canyon. Please stand there and don't move, Mr. Li Daguan."
"yes."
Seeing how weird this was, Zhao Quan didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly rowed away.
After a while, Zhao Quan had already arrived at the canyon. Li Qi said: "You should be able to show up now."
He saw a person standing up slowly from behind the cabin. When her eyes were exposed, Li Qi couldn't help but be startled. These eyes were full of malice, which made people's hair stand on end.
This person was petite, only about 1.6 meters tall at most, but he had fair skin, red lips and white teeth. Although he was dressed in men's clothing, Li Qi could tell that the other person was probably disguised as a man. If it weren't for those vicious eyes, he would be called a man.
Somewhat pretty.
The boy opposite looked at Li Qi and said, "Are you the Golden Knife Chef King?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "You have gone through all the trouble to invite me here, but you don't even know me. You must be kidding me."
"Stop talking nonsense to me. I'm asking you if you are the Golden Knife Chef King."
You are so ruthless. Li Qi showed a charming smile and said: "As for me, I am the Golden Knife Chef King. That's all right."
"That's right if you say so!"
"Damn! You asked me! Why don't you come with me to Zuixian Villa, and I'll show you the official seal."
The boy snorted and said, "Do you think this is possible?"
"Then how do you want me to prove it?"
"You have a kitchen knife and a Chinese radish in front of you. Please ask the Golden Knife Chef to show off his skills."
Li Qi looked down and saw that there really was a kitchen knife and a reed. He gave a thumbs up and said, "This is really a good idea. I'm curious how you came up with this."
"hurry up."
"OK."
Li Qi picked up the kitchen knife and the reed and looked around, and said: "It seems that you really don't know how to cook, and you didn't even prepare a cutting board for me, but I don't mind, because I am the king of chefs, this is supposed to be me
preferential treatment.”
As he spoke, he placed the reed on the edge of the boat. He heard a thumping sound, and in an instant, the round and thick reed turned into thin pieces as thin as white paper.
"Are you still satisfied?" Li Qi stood up, raised the reed leaf in his hand, and said word by word: "Lei-Fei-Yan."
