The importance of Jiangnan to Li Qi has long been self-evident. Regardless of whether the humiliation of Jingkang will come as promised, Jiangnan has a life-saving role. Therefore, he is very generous to Jiangnan. In short, whatever you need, I will
I will try my best to satisfy you.
Then, an army capable of protecting Jiangnan is indispensable.
Li Qi would be quite relieved if Han Shizhong was in charge.
Although the imperial edict was issued, Li Qi did not rush to send Han Shizhong to take up his post. Instead, he invited him to go to Guard Ma to learn his new training method, where discipline came first. Of course, he also took this opportunity to do a lot with Han Shizhong.
communication and increase friendship between each other.
The two quickly established a relatively deep friendship.
After a few days, Han Shizhong was finally about to set off. Li Qi and Qin Hui had to send him off for about twenty miles before Han Shizhong tried every means to dissuade him and asked him to stay.
Li Qi didn't force himself anymore and just said: "General Han, you will not be able to establish authority without power. When you go to Fuzhou, don't worry too much. Just go ahead and do it. If anyone dares to interfere with this, you will be punished to death by me."
, it is best to kill one person as a warning to others. As long as I am in the capital, you will have no worries in Fuzhou. In addition, if you have less money, you can borrow some from the shipyard first, and I will send someone to deliver the letter when the time comes."
This is a huge amount of trust.
Han Shizhong, a proud man, couldn't help but be touched and his eyes turned red. He was a little-known martial artist. However, just because he met Li Qi, he instantly became the leader of the Southeast Army. This kind of kindness is really not small! He cupped his fists and said: "
Commander Bu, please rest assured, if the Southeast Army cannot be rectified, Han Shizhong is willing to plead guilty with his head."
Li Qi smiled and nodded.
Han Shizhong smiled again and said: "Besides, I also learned a lot of methods from Deputy Economic Envoy Qin."
Qin Hui waved his hand and said: "No. No, I don't dare to do anything in front of the adults." Then he cupped his hands and said: "General Han, take care of yourself all the way."
"See you later."
Han Shizhong clasped his fists at the two men again, and then led his men away.
In fact, Li Qi didn't want to keep all these generals by his side, because stopping the Jin Kingdom was not a matter of Kaifeng, but a matter of the whole country. Moreover, there were still Yue Fei and others in the imperial army in the capital, so he was more concerned about the troops in other places.
...
...
Qin Mansion.
After noon today, Mrs. Bai suddenly came.
Li Qi quickly invited her to the back hall and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, you have worked really hard these days."
Mrs. Bai said angrily: "It's good if you know."
Li Qi smiled apologetically and asked, "Is Hong Slave okay?"
Mrs. Bai said: "How can it be good? He keeps clamoring to come back every day. Fortunately, the red slave has a good temper. If it were Qiniang, it would be impossible to hide it. However, I heard the recent tone of the red slave, it seems that
Some are complaining about why you haven’t visited her recently, your legs haven’t healed yet?”
In order to prevent Ji Hongnu from being emotionally affected, Li Qi never told Ji Hongnu about his injury and asked Mrs. Bai to drag Ji Hongnu for him.
Li Qidao: "It's almost done. I plan to go to my house in two days."
"That's more or less the same." Madam Bai nodded and said with deep meaning: "But I think the injury is worth it!"
Li Qi groaned and said, "Why does the mother-in-law say that?"
Mrs. Bai said: "Wang Fu and you have a deep hatred. What happened last time was such a big thing. The emperor kept his distance, which shows that the emperor still values Wang Fu very much. In addition, Wang Fu also has many connections in the harem, and
The Grand Master is already old. If something happens, Wang Fu is likely to make a comeback. Therefore, his stay in the capital will always be a hidden danger. Now that this hidden danger is finally eliminated, I can feel relieved! Don't worry,
I'm not going to ask you what happened."
Although few people know the whole story, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it must have something to do with Li Qi, and now that Wang Fu is like this, she doesn't need to worry so much.
Why am I afraid that you will ask? I am afraid that you will try to figure it out again! Li Qi must always be wary of this beautiful mother-in-law. It would be wrong to say too much about this matter. He quickly changed the subject and said: "Mother-in-law, you are here.
It just so happens that I have something to give you, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he shouted outside: "Aunt Chen, Aunt Chen."
After a while, Aunt Chen walked in and said, "Sir, what are your orders?"
"Go and get the mahogany box from my cabinet."
"yes."
Mrs. Bai saw that he was mysterious and said, "What do you want to do?"
Li Qi chuckled: "You'll know later."
After a while, Mrs. Chen brought the wooden box and opened it to take a look, but she saw a set of pearl jewelry inside.
The sparkling pearls are so alluring!
Everyone has a love for beauty. Even though this beautiful mother-in-law is clever and resourceful, she is still unavoidable. A hint of love flashed in her beautiful eyes, but after all, she is not that ignorant girl who will not be surprised by surprise.
Called Lianlian and said: "Is this ---?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "This is my son-in-law's honor to you."
"I'm not asking about this, I'm asking where do these come from? I believe you wouldn't spend your own money to buy such expensive jewelry as a gift to an old woman like me."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Mother-in-law is joking. Yes, although I didn't buy these with my money, I got them at the risk of being accused of corruption and bribery. Besides, mother-in-law, if you are an old woman, those girls
Are you still alive? Remember, when my mother-in-law and I met for the first time, I almost thought you were Qiniang. If you and your daughter go out on the street, if others don't know, they might recognize you as your sister."
The implication was that the jewelry was taken from the palace. He thought he couldn't hide it anyway, so he might as well confess and be lenient.
Mrs. Bai remembered the scene when she first met Li Qi, her face turned red, she gave the guy a blank look and said, "You kid really dares to say anything. You even dare to tease me, the mother-in-law." But there was something in her voice.
There is no trace of blame.
Li Qi said seriously: "It's unfair! I speak from the bottom of my heart. If mother-in-law doesn't believe it, you can go to the street and ask, or ask my father-in-law."
Mrs. Bai spat and said: "Don't flatter me here, I won't accept your trick, but I will accept this jewelry and make it a dowry for Qiniang someday."
Li Qidao: "How can that be done? My son-in-law has already prepared four or five sets for Qiniang. This set is specially chosen for my mother-in-law. This pearl tea is elegant and has a touch of nobility, which is not the same as the graceful and luxurious mother-in-law."
The temperament matches perfectly. My son-in-law dares to say that if my father-in-law saw her, his eyes would pop out of his head."
Mrs. Bai giggled when she heard this, and her chest felt turbulent, and she said: "If the old man hears what you said, he will beat you up with a broom. But since this is your intention, then I will accept it.
Now." As she said that, she lowered her head and glanced at the set of jewelry, her love for it could no longer be concealed.
Women, no matter how old they are, are bound to be vulgar, and Mrs. Qin’s can definitely be regarded as a different kind. Li Qi chuckled and said: "This is still part of it, and there are also some high-quality silks and satins. When the mother-in-law goes back later, I will ask someone to deliver them."
superior."
Mrs. Bai smiled bitterly and said, "How much did you get this time?"
Li Qi said hey: "It's just a little hard work, not much, really not much."
How could Mrs. Bai believe him, but this is no longer important. The departure of Zhao Kai and Wang Fu has indicated that Li Qi's two major threats have been eliminated. The two most powerful factions in the court, Cai Jing and the prince, have
Li Qi had very deep feelings and the situation was decided. He changed the subject and said, "By the way, where is that girl Sanniang? Why haven't I seen her?"
"Madam!" Li Qi shook his head and sighed.
Mrs. Bai frowned and said, "Why are you sighing?"
Li Qi immediately told her about transplanting the palace's garden to Qin's palace, and then said: "Now Madam stays in the garden all day long, taking care of those treasures carefully."
"That's it." Madam Bai chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to even spare the flowers and plants of the palace."
Li Qi blurted out: "Are you going to cut the grass and get rid of the roots?"
Madam Bai frowned and said, "Cut the grass and root out the roots?"
Sweat! He let it slip. Li Qi exclaimed: "Yes! If we don't uproot it, we can't cut it in half and transport it over." When he said this, he was complaining in his heart. Why did he get more and more wrong the more he said it?
Mrs. Bai glanced at him suspiciously and thought, is he planning to--? But it seems that there is no need. Wang Fu no longer poses a threat to him. Should I remind him, no, no, this kid has never
Don't do thankless things, but why did he do it? Unfortunately, I don't know what happened, otherwise I should be able to find some clues.
Aren't you? I just said this, you have been thinking about it for so long? Why don't you give me a life? Don't scare me! Li Qi almost cried. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a big mistake to have such a mother-in-law.
Unfortunately, he tried: "Mother-in-law, what are you thinking about?"
Mrs. Bai was slightly startled, then waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. You go ahead and I'll go see Sanniang's treasures." But she thought to herself, that's it, that's all, as long as this kid doesn't do anything to disgrace my Bai family.
, besides, this is not a bad thing.
Li Qi couldn't figure out what Mrs. Bai was thinking, so he got up and escorted Mrs. Bai out of the back hall.
As soon as Mrs. Bai went to the garden, Lu Meimei and Ma Qiao suddenly came over with anxious expressions. Li Qi smiled and said, "Meimei is here."
"Master."
Lu Meimei bowed to Li Qi solemnly.
Can you call this Meimei? Ma Qiao muttered to himself, and then said nervously: "Bu Shuai, the drunkard is missing."
"Missing?" Li Qi said, "What do you mean?"
Lu Meimei said: "It's like this. I haven't seen Master for seven or eight days. I originally thought he was hiding somewhere to drink. However, yesterday, my senior brother and I searched all the places where Master often went.
I searched all over and couldn't find him."
Ma Qiao asked cautiously: "Bu Shuai, has there been no wine in the Royal Wine Shop recently?"
Li Qi suddenly laughed and said, "Don't worry, the drunkard is not missing."
Lu Meimei quickly asked: "Where is he?"
Li Qidao: "I don't know the details. Anyway, he told me that he went to catch oriole."
"Catch the oriole?"
Ma Qiao and Lu Meimei couldn't help but look at each other, feeling puzzled.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I think it won't be long before I come back." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, your support,
