Although Cai Jing is now dim-sighted, he has controlled the government for so many years and has a relatively thorough understanding of the struggles between the government and the opposition. What he says must be very credible.
Li Qi was naturally convinced of this. However, although he was not as thorough as Cai Jing thought, his luck far exceeded Cai Jing's prediction.
However, the confidence shown by Li Qi made Cai Jing a little unsure about Li Qi's situation. He knew that although Li Qi looked ignorant, he was as smart as a monkey in his heart.
How dare Li Qi talk nonsense about such a big matter.
After Cai Jing finished speaking, he left in a hurry, but he left a trace of warmth for Li Qi. Li Qi really didn't expect that Cai Jing would value him, a cook that everyone looked down upon, so much. He rushed here early in the morning to help him.
To arrange a way out, you must know that this is an old man. This kind of kindness is really too great, and Li Qi feels that he can't bear it.
Although Li Qi had made it clear that he would not leave the capital, Cai Jing still informed him of the specific arrangements for his trip south before leaving. Unless he was absolutely safe, the ship would remain there.
No matter who Cai Jing was before, at this moment, Li Qi felt nothing but gratitude towards him.
Li Qi stood in front of the gate, staring blankly at Cai Jing's blue sedan. He waited until the sedan disappeared from his sight, then he sighed and turned around to go back. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Bai Qian
Nuo stood at the door, looking at him with a hint of mist in her eyes. She said in surprise: "Qiniang, when did you come out?"
Bai Qiannuo choked slightly and said, "Brother Li, why don't you listen to the Grand Master? Your current situation is really dangerous."
Li Qi was stunned and said, "You heard it just now."
Bai Qiannuo nodded. When she was in the room, she vaguely felt that Cai Jing's visit must be related to her concerns. So she secretly went to the back of the front hall to eavesdrop, and Cai Jing happened to hit her right.
Worry.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Qiniang, what the Grand Master said does have its truth. But you don't have to worry. In fact, my current situation is the safest I've been in Bianjing for so long. He, Wang Fu, has all the power.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s the government or the opposition, if I can trick him once, I can trick him a second time.”
Seeing Li Qi's confident expression, Bai Qiannuo was very confused and said, "Brother Li, is there something else that you haven't told Qiniang?"
Li Qi stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders and walked inside, smiling as he walked: "Qiniang, didn't you just say you wanted to go back and ask your mother-in-law for advice? Then you will go home later. Let your mother-in-law think for me, my son-in-law.
It would be good to find a way."
Bai Qiannuo was stunned for a moment, then understood. She knew that Li Qi wanted her to go home to avoid the limelight. She shook her head and said firmly: "No, Qiniang is not going anywhere now. She is here."
Li Qi glanced at her, with a bitter smile on his lips, and nodded: "That's good, but if you want to go back, you can go back at any time, and Uncle Bai won't put you under house arrest anymore."
In his heart, he wasn't really worried about Bai Qiannuo. After all, Bai Qiannuo was Bai Shizhong's daughter and had a good background. No matter how awesome Wang Fu was, he wouldn't dare to attack Bai Qiannuo. However, just to be on the safe side, Li Qi
He still wanted Bai Qiannuo to go back and live there for a while. But with his little thoughts, how could he hide it from Bai Qiannuo.
After Li Qi finished breakfast, he would ride his donkey and Ma Qiao to Zuixianju. It was enough to rest for a few days and it was time to go to work. Besides, it was a troubled time now, and he was not worried. As for Ma,
Qiao, Li Qi now has to take him with him even to the latrine.
When he arrived at Zuixianju, Li Qi came to the counter as a habit and teased Wu Furong a few words.
Ma Qiao stood on the edge doing nothing, looking around, and suddenly found a familiar figure sitting on the second floor. He pushed his arm on Li Qi's waist, raised his head to the second floor, and said: "Master Li, look at that
who is it?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, looked up, his face became depressed, and whispered in a low voice: "This woman really loves to join in the fun."
Ma Qiao was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Li Qi shook his head and said, "Wait here." After saying that, he walked towards the second floor alone.
Arriving on the second floor, Li Qi went straight to an elegant seating area, sat down, and said to the handsome young man opposite: "Miss Zhao, why are you in the mood to come to the shop today?"
"I came to see if you are still alive." The woman said with a sweet smile. Even though she was disguised as a man, her smile could be considered to be a captivating one.
This woman is none other than Zhao Jingyan.
Li Qi was stunned and said depressedly: "Miss Zhao, it's so early in the morning, can you say something nice?"
Zhao Jingyan chuckled and said: "It's still early in the morning? It's almost noon now. Besides, I just answered truthfully."
Your truth is really "vicious". Li Qi didn't know what she meant, and sighed: "Thanks to you, I'm very well now. You'd better leave this question to me a hundred years later and ask me again."
Zhao Jingyan shook her head and said: "I can't live this long, and besides, I can't bring you any blessings."
Pretend. Pretend hard.
Li Qi glanced at her angrily and said angrily: "How can it be possible? You are the Princess of Yanfu. If you don't have blessings after the Great Ancestor, then who else will?"
Zhao Jingyan was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "My cousin King Yun told you."
Japan. It’s strange how women today are so smart.
Li Qi neither admitted nor denied, saying: "Miss Zhao, you really hid the pain from me."
"Is this important?" Zhao Jingyan asked with a smile.
Of course it's not important to you, but it is important to me. If I had known your identity earlier, I would have been on guard at every step and wouldn't talk nonsense anymore. Li Qi muttered to himself.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhao Jingyan smiled and said, "Are you regretting saying so many things to me that you shouldn't have said?"
Li Qi asked in astonishment: "How do you know that?" But as soon as he said the words, he regretted it.
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "Whether you believe it or not, I have never had any conspiracy. Everything I do has only one purpose, and that is for our Great Song Dynasty."
Li Qi nodded and said: "I know, do you think I am a genius who can single-handedly save all people from the fire and water and benefit all people in the world? It is undeniable that I am indeed a genius, which I have never
I doubted it. But all my talents are in the kitchen, not what you think."
Zhao Jingyan chuckled and said, "You are so thick-skinned."
Li Qi had long been accustomed to Zhao Jingyan's frankness. He was not annoyed and said with a smile: "It's better to be thick-skinned. It can protect you from all poisons and keep you warm and cold."
"What about this time?"
Zhao Jingyan suddenly said seriously: "Can your shame help you tide over the difficulties this time?"
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Since you already know, you should be able to help a little bit. After all, you are also a relative of the emperor."
"I can't help you."
Zhao Jingyan shook her head and said, "There is only one person who can help you now."
"who?"
Zhao Jingyan rolled her eyes at him and said: "You are a person who always likes to pretend to understand and pretend to be confused when talking to you. Sometimes it is really tiring. But seeing how confident you are, I feel relieved.
"
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Miss Zhao, why do you care about me so much?"
A blush came over Zhao Jingyan's pretty face, and she said angrily: "I said, I am."
"For our Song Dynasty, you just said it." Li Qi interrupted Zhao Jingyan.
Zhao Jingyan hummed and said, "You know why you still ask."
As soon as he finished speaking, a surprised voice suddenly sounded from behind Li Qi, "Cousin Yanfu?"
Li Qi turned around and saw Zhao Kai walking towards this side. He sighed in his heart, "No way. Are the children of the Zhao family going to gather at my place today?"
Zhao Jingyan stood up in a hurry, gave her a blessing, and said, "Yan Fu has met my cousin."
Li Qi also stood up and raised his hand, saying hello.
Zhao Kai nodded to Li Qi, then smiled at Zhao Jingyan and said, "Cousin, you look really weird wearing this outfit to salute."
Only then did Zhao Jingyan remember that she was still wearing men's clothes, she blushed, smiled, and changed the subject: "I didn't expect that there are so many delicacies in the palace, and my cousin would come to a restaurant to eat like us?"
Zhao Kai smiled slyly and said: "Listening to what you said, aren't you here to see Li Qi?"
My dear sister, Brother Mo! You guessed it right.
Li Qi broke into a cold sweat!
Zhao Jingyan smiled bitterly and said: "What am I looking for him for? Of course I came here to eat. I happened to meet Master Li and chatted for a few words."
"oh?"
Zhao Kai glanced at Li Qi and said, "Li Qi, what were you and my cousin talking about just now?"
Li Qi was a master of lying. He chuckled and said, "Oh, just now Miss Zhao asked me why I haven't come to Zuixianju in the past few days. She also said that she has come several times but has never tasted my craftsmanship. I feel very guilty.
ah."
Zhao Jingyan couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, but she could only nod in agreement.
Zhao Kai glanced at Li Qi meaningfully and said, "No, I heard that you were at Zuixianju yesterday."
Zhao Jingyan frowned slightly and said hurriedly: "It happened that my little sister didn't come yesterday." Then she deliberately glanced at the sky and said, "Cousin, my little sister has to go back now to avoid..."
Although Zhao Jingyan didn't finish what she said, Zhao Kai seemed to have understood it and did not hold back. He nodded and smiled: "Then you should go back quickly, just in case. Anyway, don't say you have seen me."
Zhao Jingyan nodded and said with a smile: "This little girl knows. Farewell. Farewell."
Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "Miss Zhao, walk slowly."
After Zhao Jingyan left, Li Qi said with a face full of gossip: "Brother Zhao, what riddles are you two brothers and sisters playing?"
Zhao Kai rolled his eyes at him angrily, sat opposite Li Qi, and said, "I didn't expect you would still care about this now."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, these brothers and sisters are really loyal. Naturally, his heart was full of gratitude, but he still pretended to be confused and said, "What do you mean, Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Kai was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and asked directly: "Let me ask you, do you insist on fighting the king to the death?"
Li Qi curled his lips and said: "Brother Zhao really praises me too much. I don't have the qualifications. Now the Prime Minister refuses to let me go."
Zhao Kai narrowed his eyes and said tangledly: "It's now time, you don't need to lie to me with these words. I don't have to interfere in the matter between you and Wang Xuan'en, but I don't want you to continue fighting with Wang Xiang."
.”
It seems that Wang Fu has already said hello to him. The friendship between the two of them is really not shallow! Li Qi sighed bitterly in his heart. It seems that Cai Jing did not guess wrong. Wang Fu has already had murderous intentions towards me. He scratched his head.
He said: "Is the Prime Minister still willing to let me go now?"
Zhao Kai said seriously: "If you come to work under me, he will naturally not embarrass you again."
This was his second invitation. This road was indeed feasible for Li Qi, but due to his relationship with Wang Fu, this road turned into a dead end.
Li Qi was silent for a while and said: "Brother Zhao, if, I mean if, I don't agree to you today, what will you do?"
Zhao Kai was stunned and sighed: "Li Qi, I have always regarded you as a good friend. Of course I don't want you to get hurt in any way. If you don't want to, I can help you arrange it for you to leave the capital. As long as you leave
, I promise that Wang Xiang will not look for you again."
"Brother Zhao, Li Qixin appreciates your kindness."
Li Qi cupped his hands gratefully and said: "However, I want to wait and see, maybe there will be a turn for the better."
He knew that Zhao Kai did have good intentions now, but a large part of the reason was because he was just a cook. If not, it was unclear whether Zhao Kai would help him like this.
Now the more Zhao Kai treats him like this, the more headache Li Qi will have. The relationship here is so confusing and complicated that he really doesn't know how to deal with it.
Zhao Kai saw the determined look on his face and sighed: "That's good."
At this moment, Chen Anan suddenly ran in sweating profusely. He looked around and found Li Qi on the second floor. He hurriedly shouted: "Brother Li, Madam wants you to go back home immediately."
