"Tsk, tsk, this county magistrate is so unloyal. He abandoned the people and ran away alone. If my office catches him, I must let him taste the taste of bald chicken powder."
When Gao Yanei heard that the magistrate had run away, he was furious and rushed forward.
Hong Tianjiu rolled his eyes and said: "That's right, that's right, brother, you are known as Gao Qingtian, why don't you temporarily take over his position and work as a county government official for a few days to enjoy yourself."
You can have this!
Gao Yanei's eyes lit up and he said: "Good idea, good idea."
"Don't forget to let me be the boss then."
"Of course I won't miss you."
Hong Tianjiu suddenly glanced at Li Qi, who was in a daze next to him.
Gao Ya understood the idea in his heart and said: "Hey, Li Qi, did you hear that?"
Li Qi was slightly startled and said: "I heard it, but don't even think about it. Not to mention that I don't have the power. Even if I did, I wouldn't let you fool around like this."
Gao Yanei curled his lips in disappointment and said, "Who cares?"
Hong Tianjiu said excitedly: "Brother Li, what's fun here?"
"Mud."
"Well...."
Li Qi said seriously to Gao Yanei: "Yanei, who is leading the team in Zuixianju?"
Hong Tianjiu was the first to say: "Tian Qi."
Li Qi nodded and said, "What about yours?"
"Tian Qi."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "You really trust Tian Qi!"
Gao Yanei hummed: "Isn't this trust? This should be called strength. Even if Tian Qi is given more courage, will he dare to touch my Yanei's goods?"
"That's true." Li Qi nodded and suddenly sighed: "Yamen, Xiaojiu, you really shouldn't have come this time."
Hong Tianjiu said anxiously: "Brother, you won't ask us to go back, will you? It took a lot of effort for us to get here, so just let us have some fun."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I would like you to go back. But I don't dare to do that now. I don't want to hide it from you. It is more dangerous here than the last time we were in Tangyin."
Hong Tianjiu's eyes flashed, and he thought to himself, wouldn't that be more interesting?
Gao Yanei didn't believe it: "I don't believe it yet, how dangerous can a little Fengxiang be?"
Li Qi said seriously: "Whether you believe it or not, we may all have to lose our lives here."
Only then did these two idiots understand the seriousness of the matter and couldn't help but look at each other stupidly. Gao Yanei said: "Didn't you bring the imperial army with you?"
Li Qi sighed: "How can these few men and horses be enough? But everything is not clear yet, so don't worry too much. But don't run around these two days. I will send someone to follow you."
"oh."
Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiuji reluctantly agreed.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside. Li Qi frowned and said, "What happened again?" He got up and walked outside.
When I came outside, I saw four or five women standing outside, and a child standing on the street crying loudly. In front of him sat an idle man, brought by Gao Yanei. He was holding a
Braised chicken wings.
Damn it, the servants are eating so well. Li Qi frowned and said, "What happened?"
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just a child who is rude. He has offended this uncle."
The eldest lady said hurriedly.
Li Qi frowned and looked at the idle man.
The idle man's face tightened, and he quickly begged for mercy: "Yes--I'm sorry, this kid always stands in front of me and tells him to leave. He just doesn't leave, so I just push him gently."
Li Qiquan understood and said: "Here comes someone. Send Gao Yanei and others back."
Gao Yanei was shocked and said: "Hey, hey, Li Qi, what does this---what does this have to do with me?"
Li Qi said angrily: "You said you are here to do good deeds. Do you understand what doing good deeds means? Is this called doing good deeds? This is clearly doing evil. You Gao Yanei is shameless, and I want more."
"I didn't ask him to do this!"
"But you brought him here."
Hong Tianjiu said depressedly: "Brother Li, you drove us away without even covering my buttocks. This is so unkind. I promise there will never be a next time."
"Do you think I will believe it?" Li Qi coughed lightly and said, "Unless this is the case, share the food you brought with you to these villagers and let me see your sincerity."
Gao Yanei shouted: "Then what shall we eat?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Ya Nei, you came here just to experience the customs here. Have you eaten too much like these braised chicken wings? You should eat the local delicacies, do you understand?"
Gao Yanei snorted: "Don't lie to me. I really pretend that my Yanei has never seen the world. I still treat local delicacies the same as those in disaster-prone places. Are those things meant for human consumption?"
Hey. This guy is really getting smarter and smarter. This can't fool him. Li Qi coughed lightly and said: "In that case, you'd better go back. Don't worry, I didn't remind you. When you go back, be low-key."
Don't hang your Gao Qingtian sign so high, those thieves hate Qingtian the most."
Hong Tianjiu hurriedly tugged on Gao Yanei's sleeves and asked him to promise Li Qi. Gao Yanei said: "Okay, okay, I promise you, I will share the roast duck, braised vegetables and sausages with them, and I will keep some canned food for toothpaste."
No? Otherwise, I really won’t be able to eat, so you won’t watch me starve to death, right?”
Li Qi nodded and said, "Okay. That's it."
Gao Ya felt relieved in his heart, and suddenly turned his head, looked at the idle man, and waved.
"Yameni, please spare my life, I will never dare to do this again."
"Give the chicken wings to the kid first."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The idle man quickly stuffed the braised chicken wings into the child's hand. As soon as the child got the braised chicken wings, he had no time to cry and stuffed them into his mouth. The children on the side had some saliva left, and they couldn't remember how long it had been.
There is no meaty taste anymore.
Bang bang bang!
Gao Yanei was quite impatient. He was so angry that he couldn't wait for the next moment. He punched and kicked the idle man, clapped his hands and said, "You will ruin my reputation and you won't be allowed to eat today."
"Thank you Yanei, thank you Yanei." The idle man nodded hurriedly. In fact, this punishment was far lighter than he imagined!
When Li Qi saw the braised chicken wings, chicken legs, duck racks, and sausages brought by Gao Yanei, he couldn't help but secretly sigh, these two idiots are really battle-hardened, they really know how to enjoy it!
Then, he distributed it to children, pregnant women, patients and other people who were in urgent need of nutrition. Regardless of whether it was suitable or not, it was meat after all, and it was always more nutritious than grass.
That night, Li Qi went to Zhao Jingyan's place again. Yue Fei and the others didn't understand this kind of thing at all, so they could only discuss it with Zhao Jingyan.
"So maybe Gao Taiwei's people were also robbed?"
After Li Qi told Zhao Jingyan about Gao Yanei's arrival, Zhao Jingyan stood up suddenly and said nervously.
Li Qi nodded and said: "There should be nothing wrong. The Taiwei loves Yanei very much. I believe he sent more than one group of people here. It makes no sense that I didn't see any of them."
Zhao Jingyan took a few steps and said, "This is terrible. What about your letter---?"
Li Qi sighed: "I think we are not immune. The capital has no idea what happened here, and the court has definitely not taken any action, so the relief food is probably out of the question. Fortunately, Gao Yanei and the others brought a lot of food.
I should be able to hold on for a few more days---."
When he said this, he suddenly opened his eyes. He was horrified and said, "Do you think - will they -?"
"Stealing food!"
The two said in unison.
Li Qidao: "If this food is also robbed, it will be really over."
Zhao Jingyan said: "So you have to send someone to respond immediately."
Li Qi hummed and said, "But--but we don't know where they set up an ambush."
"You are confused. Can't you just walk back along the road?"
"Yeah."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Who is causing the obstruction? They can only hide it for a while, and when I go back, they will also get involved."
Zhao Jingyan frowned and said: "This matter may not be as simple as we imagined. You have to be careful, they may be detrimental to you."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "But this is not something I can avoid by being careful. I also brought two thousand men and horses. If they can be detrimental to me, then their strength should be far superior to mine."
Zhao Jingyan said: "Now you have to go back and deploy as soon as possible."
"Yes, no matter what, we must not let them steal the food. Farewell."
"Um."
...
Back at the county government office, Li Qi immediately called Zhe Yanzhi and Yue Fei.
Zheyan asked: "What does Bu Shuai want from me?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "That's right, we don't have much food left, so I want to send people to pick up the food team and try to transport the food as soon as possible, but my people are not familiar with the road conditions here.
So I have to go to the trouble of General Zhe. In order to avoid accidents, I will also send Yue Fei to go with me."
Zhe Yanzhi nodded and said: "That's good, to avoid a long night and many dreams. I will send someone there tomorrow morning."
Li Qi chuckled: "You also said that the night is long and there are many dreams, so why not send someone tonight."
"tonight?"
"What? Doesn't General Zhe want the food to be delivered as soon as possible?"
"Of course not. That's okay, I'll send someone there now."
Li Qi said again: "Oh, General Zhe, I sent people to Jiangnan to ask for food, so I want to send people to help you. Please find a few more people to lead the way."
Zhe Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay."
Soon, two days passed, but there was no news from either side, and the 20,000 shi of food was almost gone. Li Qi knew that something was wrong. If the food was not available, then he would be breaking his promise.
He really didn't know what would happen to the entire people of Fengxiang, as well as Zheyanzi.
"Commander Bu, General Zhe and Prefect Ji are here."
Li Qi sighed and said, "Please invite them in."
After a while, Zhe Yanzhi and Ji Minren walked in. As soon as Zhe Yanzhi came in, he said anxiously: "Bu Shuai, my people sent news this morning. They have traveled a hundred miles, but there is no one."
I saw the grain team, what on earth is going on?"
Could it be ---? Li Qi swayed and said: "If you ask me, I don't know very well."
Ji Minren said worriedly: "But we are almost out of food. Now the people are already asking me. If there is no food to eat and the fields will not be cultivated, what should I do?"
At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Report ---! Bu Shuai, we are coming from the south of the Yangtze River eight hundred miles urgently."
md. Finally got some news. Li Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "Bring it quickly."
He took the letter and was about to open it when he suddenly glanced at Zhe Yanzhi and Ji Minren. Zhe and Ji smiled and sat back. Just then, Li Qi typed the letter, and suddenly he raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with laughter.
With a trace of disbelief, his hands were shaking. He muttered: "This---how is this possible? Why is it like this?" (To be continued...)
