Because Zhao Mingcheng and Zhong Shidao both have missions at the moment. Zhong Shidao will go to the military camp immediately to lay out the tactics for this military exercise. Don't listen to what he said. Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. But
He didn't want to lose to a few juniors, and he was very cautious. As for Zhao Mingcheng, Li Qi asked him to meet Zhao Huan as soon as possible. After all, New Year's Day was coming soon, and it was the responsibility of Honglu Temple to entertain envoys from various countries.
, and this year has become extremely important, and there is no time for him to delay anymore.
In addition, Zhao Mingcheng also knows that the East Palace is now as stable as Mount Tai, and he also wants to have a good relationship with Zhao Huan. Although his ambition is not big, he hopes to revive the Zhao family's former reputation.
So after having lunch in Bai Mansion, the two of them exchanged a few words with Bai Shizhong, their master, and immediately went to report to their respective departments. Li Qingzhao had nothing to do, so he stayed in Bai Mansion and met Mrs. Qin.
, Ji Hongnu and Madam Bai talk about it.
Li Qi saw the two of them to the door and waited until they left before preparing to return to the house. But at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a carriage approaching from the east and stopped immediately.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of him, and Feng Yinu stepped out of the carriage. When he saw Li Qi, he was stunned and said, "Huh? Why are you here?"
Li Qi stepped forward and took her hand, saying cheerfully: "I'm waiting for you."
"It's outside." Feng Yinu muttered shyly and struggled slightly. Seeing that Li Qi was so shameless and refused to let go, he let him go and said, "Who did you lie to? You don't know me."
Will come."
Li Qi opened his mouth and boasted: "Oh, I watched the stars last night and figured that by today's afternoon, a super and invincible beauty would come here. At that time, I wondered, aren't all the most beautiful women in the world my wife?
There will be more, so I didn’t even eat lunch. I stopped here to see if this invincible beauty looks like three heads and six arms. It turns out it’s you. No wonder, no wonder. From this point of view, God is right. I
That’s right.”
Feng Yinu knew clearly that he was talking nonsense, but he still felt that it was as sweet as honey. He spat and said: "Don't think that I am an ignorant child. Look at you. The oil stains on the corners of your mouth have not been wiped off. You haven't even paid for lunch yet."
Didn’t eat.”
"Impossible. I wipe my mouth every time after eating. Didn't I wipe it clean just now?" Li Qi subconsciously touched the corners of his mouth, and suddenly heard a giggle from beside him. Knowing that he had been fooled, he turned his head.
He said depressedly: "Yinu, you are a bad student."
Feng Yinu covered his lips and chuckled: "If I want to be bad, I will learn it from you."
"Am I that bad? I can still open a school and teach students."
"have."
Li Qi feigned an angry look at her, then smiled and said, "By the way, when did you leave that day? Why didn't you tell me."
Feng Yinu said: "Oh, I just stayed for a while and left. I have to go back to take care of my sister. Originally, I wanted to tell you. But seeing that you were so busy, I didn't bother you."
Li Qi said distressedly: "Don't keep running in both directions. You're too tired. It won't be too late for you to come see Zhengxi when Miss Shishi is well."
Feng Yinu smiled and said: "If you are all good, I can't even be happy, so how can I feel tired? I was a little tired some days ago, but I'm better now. Besides, Zhengxi is so cute, I couldn't bear it for several days
.I couldn’t bear it anymore today, so I came over to play with little Zhengxi.”
"Of course, you don't care who gave birth to her." Li Qi said proudly.
Feng Yinu spat and said, "I'm so shameless. I think Zhengxi looks more like Hongnu's sister."
Li Qi chuckled: "It doesn't matter, his parents are so good, they can be like anyone." As he said that, he suddenly moved his face closer, winked, and said seductively: "Hey, since you like children so much, how about we
Give birth to one too."
Feng Yinu didn't seem to have thought about this problem. He made a sound, and his cheeks suddenly became dizzy. His eyes were full of anticipation and hesitation. He bit his lips, nodded suddenly, and said: "Okay---okay!"
The sound is like the moan of mosquitoes.
Wow! No way, I didn’t expect that the temptation of children is greater than mine. Li Qi swallowed his saliva. In fact, he just said it casually, but he didn’t expect Feng Yinu to agree so readily. He couldn’t believe it.
: "You---you're not kidding me, are you? You can't joke about such a serious matter. I will take it seriously and take action."
"Who are you kidding?"
Feng Yinu stamped his feet in shame and anger, but then he seemed a little hesitant and said: "But---but, by the way, when will Qiniang come back?"
Li Qi was stunned and said: "We have a child, and Qiniang shouldn't have much to do with it, right? Why are you asking her? Could it be that---I know, Yi Nu, you are really bad at it, but I like it
,hehehe.”
Feng Yinu didn't know what he was talking about, but seeing the lewd smile on his face, he knew it was not a good thing, so he said seriously: "I still want to wait until Qiniang comes back to give you a child."
Li Qi raised his eyebrows, and then he realized that she was taking care of Qiniang's feelings. His heart was full of guilt and emotion. Seeing that they were very considerate of each other, he was also very relieved, and thought that maybe it would happen soon.
During the Jingkang Incident, I thought to myself, if I fail, having one more child will mean more suffering and more guilt on my body. I nodded and said, "Okay. Thank you."
Feng Yinu said shyly: "Thank me for what I did. I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to see Zhengxi. I have to rush back later."
In fact, she has always felt guilty about Bai Qiannuo. She and Bai Qiannuo were good sisters at first, but now she got in between Bai Qiannuo and Li Qi. This made her feel very sorry for Bai Qiannuo, and it was just right.
Because of this, she always felt that everything had to wait until Bai Qiannuo came back.
Li Qi took her hand and said, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? I'll go with you. Oh, sister Qingzhao is here too."
"Really? Then hurry up."
"Uh...I just had enough."
...
...
Li Qi and Feng Yinu came to Ji Hongnu's room. Before they could even stand firm, they were immediately kicked out by Mrs. Qin with stern words. The reason was very simple. There were so many women in this room, you are a grown man.
How inconvenient it is to be here. Obviously, she is still worried about the wet stain this morning and doesn't want to experience it a second time.
Li Qi really wanted to tell her at that time that there was actually another man in the house, and he was the instigator of the whole thing, and that was Li Zhengxi.
But as soon as Mrs. Qin opened her mouth, the group of women immediately spoke in unison. He had no chance to argue and could only retreat. If my son makes a mistake, of course I have to shoulder it. Isn't it natural and right?
Once Li Qi left, there was no need for the girls to be restrained. Laughter could be heard from time to time in the house. However, when Li Qingzhao learned that Master Li was seriously ill and almost lost his life, he felt very worried. He originally wanted to go and see him today.
Master Li. But since I just arrived today, I am really tired, so I plan to go see Master Li tomorrow.
Feng Yinu and Li Zhengxi played happily all afternoon, and she hurried back when it was almost time for dinner.
After being driven out, Li Qi did not go in again. He sat in the house and began to think about how to deal with the Japanese. It was not until he learned that Feng Yinu was going back that he went out to see him off, and then had a meal with Li Qingzhao and Mrs. Qin.
dinner.
After the meal, Li Qingzhao stood up and left.
Li Qi sent her out, but when he saw that it was getting late, he felt uneasy, so he simply sent her to the west.
The two of them turned their backs to the bright moon and walked towards Xiangguo Temple.
On the way, Li Qingzhao opened his mouth several times, but in the end he didn't say anything, which seemed a little difficult to say.
Li Qi also noticed it and asked: "Sister Qingzhao, do you have anything to say to me?"
Li Qingzhao was slightly startled, then nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed: "Thank you very much for this Dengzhou incident."
Li Qi smiled bitterly and said: "What do I think it is? It turns out that this is the matter. Mr. Zhao has already thanked me just now. But I thought this was my duty. Not to mention Sister Qingzhao, anyone who pays taxes
No one needs to say thank you to me, I really deserve it."
Li Qingzhao shook his head and said, "You know that's not what I mean."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sighed and said: "To be honest, Yue Fei has already told me about that matter, but I don't think we can entirely blame Mr. Zhao. If only Yue Fei had told Mr. Zhao what he was thinking.
Xianggong, this kind of thing will not happen. Moreover, Xianggong Zhao doesn’t want everything he has in his life to be destroyed in one day, so I understand, I understand.”
Li Qingzhao frowned, with a look of shame on his face, and said, "I know my husband better than you do."
She actually understood very well that as long as Yue Fei said one more word in front of Cai You, Cai You would definitely kill Zhao Mingcheng. This official position would definitely not be guaranteed, and the couple might have to experience a life of ups and downs again. However, Yue Fei had another
He had no friendship with the couple, and it was all because of Li Qi's face that he hid the matter.
For Li Qingzhao, this kind of kindness is even greater than the kindness of saving his life, because once this matter gets out, Zhao Mingcheng will definitely be ridiculed by the world, and the reputation of the Zhao family will be ruined. This thank you, she has to say it.
.
Of course Li Qi understood her thoughts and said: "But even so, I still think it's excusable. There is no one in the world who is not afraid of death."
Li Qingzhao asked: "If it were you, would you do the same?"
Li Qi couldn't help but be startled and asked himself, if I really can't stop Jin Bing by then, will I choose to live in an ignoble existence? But until that moment, Li Qi doesn't know what the answer is. He said truthfully: "I don't know, maybe
Yes, maybe not. Sister Qingzhao, are you afraid of death?"
Li Qingzhao said: "Afraid, who is not afraid of death? If you encounter robbers killing people and stealing goods, you will naturally have to find ways to escape. However, when there are a group of innocent people behind you counting on you, what kind of courage do you need to give up?
Let them leave. I think a person can lose his money, the treasures he has collected in his life, and even his life, but he must never lose his dignity. If this dignity is not there, it will be difficult to pick it up again.
.I remember the poem written by the talented woman you mentioned. There is a sentence in it, "I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the Yangtze River." Although the King of Chu was defeated, he did not lose the dignity of the King of Chu. I wonder what else in the world is better than this.
Suicide requires more courage. This is true for people, and it is also true for countries. Now that you are in a high position, you may be able to take a step back in some matters, but when it comes to dignity, if you take a step back, it will be difficult for you to take another step forward.
At this step, the right way is to retreat if you don't advance. You will continue to retreat in the future. If you are a common person, it may only cause harm to yourself, but for you ministers, it may harm this country and this country.
the people.”
Li Qi frowned and said: "Maybe what you said makes sense, but there are some things that cannot be controlled by just one person. There are still many helplessness in this world. I can only say that I will try my best to succeed.
Whether it is or not is not determined by dignity. But one thing, I can tell you with certainty, I am not the King of Chu, and I will not let myself end up committing suicide. If there is a Wujiang River in front of me that I can cross,
I will not hesitate to get through it in order to fight Liu Bang again in the future. Liu Bang was like this at the beginning, and Huang Xin also suffered the humiliation, so they won the final victory. If you want to defend your dignity, you must first
Defend your own life."
Li Qingzhao was stunned and speechless. She did not dare to say that what Li Qi said was wrong, but she also did not know that what Li Qi said was right. Whether it was right or wrong would depend on the actual situation and the final success or failure.
Speaking of this, Li Qi also felt very heavy, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. By the way, Sister Qingzhao, I don't know if you have heard such a sentence."
Li Qingzhao was stunned and said subconsciously: "What are you talking about?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Ten years of cultivation can lead to crossing in the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can lead to sleeping on the same pillow."
Li Qingzhao was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. He couldn't help but laugh, but said nothing.
