Chapter 192: The Chaotic Relationship Chain (Chapter Two in One)
"Abominable rabbits and abominable wild deer, they come out at any time, but they come out when I am trying to fool people. They are really worthy of death. It seems that I will introduce some roasted rabbits and roasted deers in the future and kill all your relatives and friends.
"
Li Qi rode his calm donkey around in the forest, mumbling something. Zhao Kai and Gao Yanei made fun of him. After all, his identity was there, but even Ma Qiao, Chen Anan, and Hong Tianjiu
Everyone despised him. This was really a shame and a great humiliation. He felt indignant and thought secretly that he must get his place back.
I want to think about it, but it is not easy to do this.
For Li Qi, who doesn't even ride a horse, this is simply harder than climbing to the sky.
He had just entered the woods, and Zhao Kai and others had already disappeared. Looking up, there was not even a hare. Zhao Kai and others must have been scared away.
What is the hunting picture about?
Naturally, it’s the passion, the fighting, the blood.
But Li Qi didn't feel any of these three points. Instead, he felt confused, hesitant, and depressed.
Chapter 192: Try your luck."
Li Qi tentatively said, "That's right! In fact, I have quite a lot of knowledge about leopards. If you two are willing, just sell this leopard to me. I'll pay you twenty dollars."
"Two---ten punches?"
The Wu brothers gasped at the same time.
"What? Too little?"
"No, no, no, this - this is already a lot. I - I'm afraid this leopard is not worth so much money." Wu Da shook his head.
Just don’t be too little.
Li Qi smiled slightly and took out a silver coin from his pocket. He said: "I believe this silver coin can be worth twenty coins. If you two have no objections, then let's make a deal."
"this---."
Wuhan University still seemed a little hesitant.
Li Qi took the opportunity to retreat and said, "Brother Wu, the price is easy to negotiate. If you don't like it, we can discuss it again."
"No, that's enough."
"Then just take it."
"well."
Wu Da excitedly accepted the money. This trip was really profitable, and he began to thank Gao Yanei and the others in his heart.
Seeing that he had accepted the money, Li Qi suddenly showed a sinister smile and said: "But I still have to ask the two martial brothers to help me with the next small favor."
In the woods, the bloody competition was coming to an end.
Hong Tianjiu, Gao Yanei, Zhou Hua and others, with their heads held high and their chests high, were riding horses with arrogance on their faces. Behind them were several idle Han men, each holding some prey in their hands and panting like a dog.
At this moment, a group of people also walked out from the other end, it was Zhao Kai, Ma Qiao, Chen Anan and others, but the prey in the hands of the servants behind them seemed to be much more than Hong Tianjiu and the others.
"Brother, who of you will win?"
As soon as Gao Yanei saw Zhao Kai, he hurriedly greeted him.
Zhao Kai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Maqiao can beat me even when riding a donkey. I am convinced that I will lose!"
"Wow!"
Gao Yanei, Hong Tianjiu and others looked at Maqiao in surprise.
Ma Qiao smiled and didn't answer. He didn't know what to say in this situation.
"Huh? Yanei, isn't Brother Li with you?"
Chen Anan suddenly realized that Li Qi was not around and asked worriedly.
Gao Yanei was stunned and asked: "Isn't he with you?"
Zhao Kai shook his head, with a worried look on his face, and immediately ordered his subordinates to find Li Qi, and then said to Gao Yanei: "Let's go out of the woods first and talk, maybe Brother Li is waiting for us there.
"
As soon as the few people came out of the woods and arrived at the open space where they had just gathered, they all gasped in unison.
I saw a man sitting on a big stone in the open space, wearing a bamboo hat on his head, standing in the soil with a bow in his right hand, his left hand on his thigh, leaning sideways, and there was a donkey standing next to him, it was so cool.
However, this is not the key.
The most surprising thing is that there is a hedgehog lying on his left foot, oh no, it should be a leopard full of arrows.
Wow! So handsome.
Hong Tianjiu rushed over in a hurry, jumped off his horse, looked at the leopard carefully, and said excitedly: "Brother Li, did you kill this leopard?"
This person is Li Qi.
Li Qi raised his head slightly and glanced at Hong Tianjiu quickly. A look of pride flashed in his eyes, but he sighed and said: "Xiaojiu, you should know what Brother Li is like. I usually love small animals the most."
I usually can't bear to kill someone. But this kitten is too ignorant. It even wanted to eat my little donkey just now. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I shot it a few arrows and taught it a lesson. You can go and see it.
He’s dead. If he’s not dead yet, help me free him. Oh, it’s a sin, a sin!”
Hong Tianjiu was stunned and glanced at the leopard. The blood was almost drained and it couldn't die anymore. He said seriously: "Brother Li, this leopard is already dead."
Li Qi let out another heavy sigh.
"Li Qi, did you really kill this leopard?" Gao Yanei opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost dropped in shock.
"wrong."
Li Qi glared sideways and said, "This kitten was not killed by me, but died by my arrow."
Zhao Kai shook his head in disbelief and said: "Brother Li, you are so secretive. You can actually shoot this beast with your own strength. I am ashamed of myself!"
Sample! Now you know you were wrong, how dare you look down on me! But this face is too expensive, twenty guan, my God!
Li Qi was secretly tangled in his heart, shook his head and said: "Brother Zhao, you know that I have always been very low-key. Just now I was lucky enough to hide my archery skills. I never thought that you would still discover it. Alas.
"
"Brother Li, you are really amazing. You can teach me this skill anytime!" Chen Anan shouted excitedly.
"Uh... you'd better not learn this kind of murderous method. And don't call me for activities that are too murderous in the future. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it."
Li Qi coughed lightly and said again: "By the way. Anan, except for our guests in Zuixianju, you must not talk about this matter with anyone else today. Do you understand?"
Telling guests doesn’t mean telling everyone?
Chen Anan scratched his head, his eyes becoming confused.
"strangeness?"
Ma Qiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked directly at the leopard with a look of confusion on his face.
Damn! I can see that too.
Li Qideng broke out in a cold sweat. He said hurriedly: "Ma Qiao, I heard that Junior Sister Ling wants to come to Zuixianju to help recently. I am considering it. Now I also want to hear your opinion."
Li Qi changed the topic and everyone was stunned.
Ma Qiao was also stunned for a moment and hurriedly got off the donkey. He said happily: "Seriously, Master Li, you are really willing to accept my junior sister as your disciple."
"This--if you can understand the truth that silence is golden and avoid causing more trouble, I can consider it." Li Qi nodded.
For the sake of Lu Meimei, Ma Qiao would not hesitate to sacrifice his life and blood, not to mention this trivial request. He nodded hurriedly and said: "Master Li, please don't worry. I will never talk nonsense in the future."
"Um."
Li Qi nodded and smiled to himself. It's so damn good that one thing brings another down. He stood up, took off his bamboo hat coquettishly, coughed and said, "Anan, you can take this kitten back to Zuixianju later.
Ask someone to peel the skin off for me. It's been very cold recently, so I can make a fur coat to keep me warm."
"Hey. I remember."
Li Qi nodded and looked around at everyone. He saw that they were all looking at him with admiration on their faces. He felt happy in his heart. The twenty strings were worth it.
Facts speak for themselves.
First of all, there is indeed a dead leopard here, and it is Li Qi alone. Furthermore, the leopard was indeed killed by an arrow. No one would believe it if Li Qi did not kill it. How can they question Li Qi's archery skills now?
, and praised Li Qi fiercely again.
md. I finally feel proud and proud, it’s not easy!
Li Qi shamelessly accepted everyone's worship again.
Once the prey is caught, the next step is to enjoy the fruits of one's labor.
This is Li Qi's strength.
Hong Tianjiu knew that Li Qi was coming and even prepared the ingredients for him, but he feinted and asked them to bake by themselves. He was here to relax today, not to help them cook. Of course,
He still helped Hong Tianjiu and others prepare the seasonings.
A few simple stoves were set up on the spot, and groups of people sat around the fire, roasting pheasant meat, wild venison, etc.
The fragrance spreads ten miles away.
Hong Tianjiu and the others seemed to feel more reserved when they were with Zhao Kai, so they sat on the side with a tacit understanding, leaving Li Qi and Zhao Kai alone.
Zhao Kai took a sip of the wine brought by Gao Yanei, shook his head and said, "Brother Li, I find that I can't understand you more and more."
You've never understood it, okay?
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Brother Zhao, what are you talking about? I am a very simple person, I am talented, and I am charming. You can tell this at a glance."
Zhao Kai laughed and imitated Li Qi's tone: "This is the only thing I understand so far."
As soon as he finished speaking, they both burst out laughing.
After laughing for a long time, Zhao Kai stopped his laughter and said seriously: "Brother Li, you are so talented that you have to settle down to be a little cook in Zuixianju. Isn't that a bit too incompetent? Of course, your cooking skills are not that good."
I have to say, but I still think it’s overkill.”
He is trying to win over me!
Li Qi was stunned and said: "Brother Zhao, do you want to take care of me?"
"Yes, that's what I meant."
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "I am now serving as the Imperial City Secretary in the Imperial City. If Brother Li doesn't mind, I can help you find a job. Although the position is not very high, it is still much better than a cook, and the Prime Minister is not the same."
I will cause trouble for you again, so I will kill two birds with one stone."
Li Qi saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and weighed in his mind. Although he had a good impression of Zhao Kai, he could tell from the last birthday party that there seemed to be some grudge between Zhao Kai and the prince. What was the relationship between them?
Li Qi didn't know what happened, but he knew that the prince eventually ascended the throne. In other words, Zhao Kai was defeated in the end, and the relationship between Zhao Kai and Wang Fu didn't seem simple. He also knew
, it won’t be long before Wang Fu will lose power.
All of this made Li Qi dare not easily choose sides, let alone join Zhao Kai's camp. However, emotionally, he did not want Zhao Kai to lose and wanted to help him. It was really difficult for him.
But in the end, reason prevailed over emotion. Li Qi didn't dare to make fun of his own head. He thought it would be better to wait until he could see the situation clearly before talking.
He was just about to decline Zhao Kai's kindness when he suddenly felt that Zhao Kai's words were somewhat similar. Someone suddenly appeared in his mind. He glanced at Zhao Kai again, with a startled look on his face, and said to himself. The two of them are tall.
It's really similar. Yes, why didn't I notice it before?
Li Qi frowned. He suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, I suddenly discovered that a guest at Zuixianju looks very much like you, and it just so happens that both of you are named Zhao."
Zhao Kai was stunned and asked curiously: "Who?"
"Her surname is Zhao and her given name is Jingyan. I wonder if Brother Zhao knows her?" Li Qi stared into his eyes and said.
Zhao Kai exclaimed: "Do you know my cousin?"
"cousin?"
Li Qi was stunned and said: "You said Zhao Jingyan is your cousin?"
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "Yes, she is the daughter of the Duke of Qing, and she is named Yan Fuzongji."
"Qing Guo Gong? Yan Fuzong Ji?"
Li Qi was surprised and said: "Brother Zhao, which uncle of yours is this Duke of Qing?"
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Oh, he is my cousin, the empress of Taizu and the younger brother of my father."
Taizu? Zhao Kuangyin? Damn! This relationship is really messed up.
Li Qi pulled off his collar and was sweating profusely. He didn't know whether he was burned by the fire or frightened.
Zhao Kai glanced at him and asked curiously: "What? Are you familiar with my cousin?"
"Unfamiliar. Average, very average." Li Qi said hurriedly. He seemed to have heard his history teacher say before that Zhao Kuangyin's death seemed, perhaps, related to his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, so he was very cautious at this time.
"It's strange. You said that my cousin often visits your Zuixianju, but why didn't I see it?"
"Oh, she is a woman disguised as a man, maybe you didn't notice."
"Then how do you know?"
"I saw this myself."
"Then she told you her real name again?"
"Ah? It seems like she drank a little too much one day."
"Drank too much?"
Zhao Kai raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "I don't think so. My cousin has been reclusive since she was a child, and she doesn't like to talk to others. Compared with my brothers and sisters, I have a pretty good relationship with her.
, I have never seen her drunk, and she would actually tell you her real name, so you must be more than a casual acquaintance with her."
"Absolutely a casual acquaintance. In fact, she also likes to listen to the Three Kingdoms, so she occasionally chats with me. She accidentally told me this name." Li Qi wiped his sweat and explained.
"I see."
Zhao Kai nodded and looked at Li Qi sweating profusely and said, "Why are you so nervous?"
"Am I nervous? Of course I am."
Li Qi squeezed out a smile and said: "Brother Zhao, I'm just a cook. If you randomly pick up anyone, they're all relatives of the emperor. I--can I not be nervous?"
But my thoughts have long since flown to Zhao Jingyan. Since she is a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin, and she tried her best to persuade me to enter the officialdom, what kind of medicine is in this! Damn it! Why do I always get into trouble with such people?
Are you still going to let me live?
Zhao Kai glanced at him dissatisfied and said, "What you said is inappropriate. What do you mean by just jumping out by yourself?"
"I'm sorry, my education level is limited. Don't be offended." Li Qi said sarcastically.
Seeing that Li Qi's words were out of tune, Zhao Kai shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Don't worry, my cousin is a sensible person. If you haven't done anything too outrageous, she won't argue with you."
I've done a lot of excessive things, and that's why I'm afraid.
Li Qi said with a guilty conscience: "I hope so."
Zhao Kai shook his head again and returned to the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. What did you think about the matter just now?"
"Ah? Oh, that's the thing!"
Li Qi's thoughts were very confused now, and he didn't dare to agree randomly. He said vaguely: "Brother Zhao, I think I am still young now, and I am more reckless and confused when things happen. I don't understand many rules, and
, our Zuixianju still has a mess there, how about this, wait for me to solve these mundane matters, and then think about it seriously, what do you think? "
Zhao Kai was not in a hurry and nodded: "That's true. Well, we will discuss it in detail when you are busy with this section."
Talk about it in detail? Please, that’s not necessary.
Li Qi was completely depressed, Yan Fuzongji? Haha, you made me miserable.
