The three hundred and fortieth chapters send you a thousand miles and finally have to say goodbye
That night, Li Qi invited Yue Fei to his manor, cooked more than ten delicious dishes himself, and brought out five jars of fine wine for him and Ma Qiao to drink happily.
The three of them drank wine and talked happily, talking about their future affairs. It was so happy.
Li Qi was well-informed and eloquent. He could pick up strange stories from all over the world at his fingertips. When Yue Fei and Ma Qiao were listening to them, they were mesmerized and envious. He hoped that one day he could go everywhere.
have a look.
Although Yue Fei is young, he has been out there and has seen a lot along the way. On the contrary, Ma Qiao, a fool, cannot do without Lu Meimei no matter what he says, which makes Li Qi feel a little nauseous.
The three men talked about state affairs from family affairs. When Yue Fei pointed out that the imperial court's alliance with Jin to attack Liao was a wrong decision and analyzed them one by one, Li Qi was extremely surprised. You must know that Yue Fei is only nineteen years old now. A nineteen-year-old child
In later generations, when he had just graduated from high school, he was thinking about how to get girls in college, and Li Qi was no exception. However, Yue Fei had already begun to pay attention to national affairs and had his own opinions. This is really commendable.
.
However, Li Qi still didn't believe that Yue Fei could see through this at such an old age. After questioning, he found out that Yue Fei was able to think of this only because of Liu Kai's discerning eye who brought him to the army. Li Qi was very fond of this name.
He was familiar with it, but he just couldn't remember what this person was. However, based on his knowledge, he must be a talented person, so he silently recorded the name in his mind.
The more the three of them chatted, the more they became more and more interested in each other, and their relationship quickly sublimated. They chatted until nearly the fourth night before they each went back to the house to rest.
The next day.
Although Yue Fei drank a lot last night, he still woke up early in the morning, left a letter, and walked quietly towards the front yard. However, when he arrived at the front yard, he found that Li Qi and Ma Qiao were already there.
They were waiting for him there, which made him extremely embarrassed.
Yue Fei stepped forward and said with a smile: "Deputy Commander, Brother Ma."
Ma Qiao chuckled and said, "Deputy Commander, you are so clever and clever. You knew that this kid would leave without saying goodbye."
Yue Fei chuckled, scratched his head, and his face turned red.
Li Qi did not continue to tease him, and waved to a servant, who saw him walking over with a black horse. Li Qi smiled at Yue Fei and said, "Do you like it?"
Today's horses are extremely precious. You can't afford to ride them anywhere. Yue Fei is also a small soldier in the army. He doesn't even have to ride a donkey. There is a flash of joy in his eyes. He nodded, then shook his head and said: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief.
, this gift is too precious, Yue Fei cannot ask for it."
Li Qi smiled and said: "You are so beautiful. Who said I gave it to you? I lent it to you. You also said it yesterday. You wasted a lot of time on the road. Your mother must be very worried now.
If you ride it, you can go home early, but you have to remember that you have to pay it back."
"this."
Ma Qiao said: "Brother Yue, just accept it. This horse is just a drop in the bucket to the deputy commander."
It's strange, why is this guy so sensible today? Li Qi glanced at Ma Qiao in surprise, and saw that there was no trace of jealousy on his face, and couldn't help but feel very curious.
Yue Fei couldn't resist his kindness, and he thought of his mother at home again, clasping his fists and saying, "Thank you so much, Deputy Commander. Yue Fei will definitely return to Zhao in one day."
Li Qi nodded with a smile, took another bag, handed it to him, and said with a smile: "There are some grains in it, you can take it with you to eat on the way."
Yue Fei did not refuse this time. He took it and thanked him again.
"Let's go, I'll take you out of the city."
Yue Fei said hurriedly: "The deputy commander-in-chief is busy with official duties. How can Yue Fei dare to bother the deputy commander-in-chief to see him off?"
Ma Qiao laughed and said, "Brother Yue, don't you know? The deputy commander's greatest skill is to leave things to others."
"It's so early in the morning. If you don't speak, you'll die."
Li Qi glared at Ma Qiao and then said to Yue Fei: "Stop being so nagging, let's go quickly. I'll be free this day."
Yue Fei did not dare to say anything more, so he led the horse and followed Li Qi to the door. At this time, two servants came over leading a horse and a donkey. Li Qi saw them and asked in surprise: "Whose horse does this belong to?"
"Oh, this horse belongs to Brother Ma," the servant said.
Li Qi turned to look at Ma Qiao with questioning eyes. Ma Qiao chuckled and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you about this. Do you still remember that day when you asked me to go to Fanlou to borrow a horse?"
Li Qi nodded and said, "I remember, I asked you to borrow it, but I didn't ask you not to return it."
"Is Maqiao like this? After I came back from the eastern suburbs that day, I went to Fanlou to return the horse to Young Master Fan. However, Young Master Fan said that I was often tired from running around for the deputy commander and rode a donkey.
It's too inconvenient, so I had to give this horse to me. I refused to accept it at that time. The young master Fan who entered the family forced it on me, so I reluctantly accepted it." Ma Qiao sighed, feeling aggrieved.
Extremely.
This guy is really a typical example of someone who behaves well after getting a bargain. Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, you finally got what you wanted." After saying that, he snorted again and led the donkey outside.
When Yue Fei saw Li Qi riding a donkey, he thought Li Qi had given him his mount, so he hurriedly chased after him and said, "Deputy Commander, actually - I can just ride the donkey. You should keep the horse yourself."
Li Qi naturally knew what he meant and said with a smile: "Forget it. This donkey may not be able to walk as fast as you. Besides." He said with a long sigh and said: "Yue Fei, I am not satisfied with you saying that since I became this
After I became the vice-captain, I never rode a horse again."
Ma Qiao said oh, with a look of surprise on his face, and thought to himself, it seems that you have never ridden a horse before you were the deputy commander.
Yue Fei didn't know the inside story and asked curiously: "Why is this?"
Li Qi sighed again, showing a pitiful expression, and said: "I think the reason why I have always had few horses in the Song Dynasty is because the Hexi Corridor and the Hetao area and the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun are still in the hands of outsiders. I, Li Qi,
Qi doesn't have any big ideals in his life. He just takes it as his duty to recover the lost land. I have made an oath. If the lost land cannot be recovered in a day, Li Qi will not ride a horse for a day." But I thought in my heart, when that time comes, I should
I also learned to ride a horse.
No, don't you know how to ride a horse? Ma Qiao looked at Li Qi with a strange look on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched out, and his face turned red from holding back.
Yue Fei's face was full of admiration when he heard this, and he bowed and said: "The deputy commander cares about the country and the people, and Yue Fei admires him very much. Yue Fei is willing to follow the deputy commander's example and never ride a horse again from now on."
"Cough cough cough."
I went, I went too far. Li Qi's face tightened, and with a thought in his mind, he hurriedly said: "Yue Fei, there is another reason why I don't ride a horse. I hope that one more of my Song Dynasty soldiers can ride on a horse, although you haven't agreed yet.
I'm here to guard my horse, but I already regard you as my soldier, and I hope you won't refuse my kindness."
A true soldier dies for his confidant. When Yue Fei saw that Li Qi appreciated him so much, a hint of emotion appeared on his face. He cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Deputy Commander. When Yue Fei pays tribute to his filial piety, he will definitely come and do his best for the Deputy Commander."
.”
Wow! A horse was exchanged for a famous general throughout the ages. This business made a lot of money. Li Qi suppressed his smile, nodded and said: "I'll wait for you." After saying that, he got on the donkey. Yue Fei and Ma Qiao also got on the horse one after another, and entered three times.
Slowly walk towards Longmen, a view in the north of the city.
After leaving the city gate and walking for more than ten miles, Li Qi looked at the vast white field in front of him, feeling very melancholy. To be honest, he really didn't want to be separated from Yue Fei so soon, but he also knew that he couldn't keep him.
, I can only rely on my mother-in-law to understand the righteousness and let Yue Fei put national affairs first. He pulled the reins, stopped, and said: "Yue Fei, I have sent you thousands of miles away, but I have to say goodbye at the end, so I will send you here. Remember,
After you get home, no matter what your mother decides, you must let me send you a letter, and if you want to go somewhere else, you must let me send you a letter, so that I can rest assured."
Although Yue Fei and Li Qi had not known each other for a short time, they felt like old friends at first sight, and he also felt Li Qi's sincerity. He also admired Li Qi's talent very much, and was very reluctant to part with him. His eyes were slightly red, and he cupped his fists and said: "
Well, I remember, Deputy Commander, take care, Brother Ma, take care, Yue Fei is gone."
"Brother, when you go this time, you must be careful on the way. When we meet in the future, we will fight for another three hundred rounds." Ma Qiao said with a smile.
Yue Fei hummed, saluted to Erjin again, then waved his whip and rode away.
Li Qi looked at Yue Fei's back, let out a long sigh, and said to himself, "Don't let me disappoint you."
Ma Qiao suddenly said: "Deputy Commander, Brother Yue is really a talented person."
Li Qi said calmly: "I'm not blind, I don't need you to remind me."
Ma Qiao added: "Actually, if you really want him to help you, you can go back with him. With your confusing eloquence, it is not difficult to convince his mother."
"Do you think I can walk away now - wait - wait, what did you just say? What is the eloquence of confusing right and wrong? Please explain it to me." Li Qi said angrily.
Ma Qiao chuckled and said: "No - no, Deputy Commander, you heard it wrong. I didn't say that."
Li Qi snorted angrily, looked up, and saw that Yue Fei had disappeared into the heavy snow, and sighed: "It is indeed much faster to ride a horse - let's go back."
******************After sending Yue Fei away, Li Qi returned to Zuixianju and found Xiaoyu to ask if the closure of business yesterday had caused any bad reactions. When Xiaoyu told him,
None of the guests paid any attention to this, so he breathed a sigh of relief and went to the kitchen again.
Since it was not the peak meal period yet, the kitchen didn't look that busy. However, Wu Xiaoliu seemed to have not yet emerged from the shadow of yesterday's fisherman incident, and was squatting in the corner washing his hands.
Cai, he is completely different from his usual self.
"Brother Li, you are here."
When everyone saw Li Qi coming, they quickly saluted.
Li Qi hummed and glanced at Wu Xiaoliu. Seeing that the five finger marks on his face had not yet disappeared, he couldn't bear it and asked, "Liu Zi, is your face okay?"
Wu Xiaoliu replied: "It's okay."
Li Qi sighed: "Actually, I don't want to hit you, but I am doing this for your own good."
Wu Xiaoliu said obediently: "I know, if you hadn't arrived in time, Brother Li, yesterday, I would have died a long time ago."
"As long as you understand."
Li Qi nodded, glanced at the crowd, and said: "I have always advocated that as a chef, you must have the spirit of trying new things, be delicious, and dare to eat, but you can't eat blindly, at least eat before you eat.
You need to know what you are eating. Since I didn’t say hello to what happened yesterday, I won’t pursue it. But from now on, whenever guests come in and bring food that you don’t recognize, you must
Let me know first, and if anyone does it again, I will not spare him."
"yes."
Everyone shouted in unison.
Wu Xiaoliu said firmly: "Brother Li, don't worry, I, Wu Xiaoliu, swear never to touch that pufferfish again, it's really scary."
Li Qi smiled and said: "That's impossible. Because in the next few days, I'm afraid you will have to deal with pufferfish all day long."
Wu Xiaoliu was shocked and cried: "Brother Li, I know I was wrong, please spare me."
