"Don't worry, Miss, everyone around you has been replaced." Yuan Ji came in and said, looking at Li Minglou nervously and excitedly.
Li Minglou sat on the chair, looking at him quietly and distantly, his eyebrows sparkling and fairy-like, just like before.
When the Grand Governor was there, Li Minglou would sometimes come to the study to play, write or draw, or drink tea and eat snacks. She was as quiet as a fairy in the human world.
Yuan Ji's eyes were a little sore. Although Li Minglou said she was fine, she didn't see how good she was until today.
"It was my negligence this time." He lowered his head and said.
Xiang Nan arrived at Guangzhou Mansion silently and stood in front of the young lady. Fang Er had already said when he came back that Xiang Nan was in Huazhou, and the Yicheng army all wore white robes to serve Xiang Nan as their leader, and the white robe army also rushed to the aid of Yi
After Li Minglou left, he assisted Zhou Xianqing in handing over the rebels. Yizhou and Huazhou have been integrated into one, and the merchants from Yizhou have come to Guangzhou Prefecture. Of course, Xiang Nan can come to Guangzhou Prefecture from Huazhou, but they did not do it well.
Prevention.
"As a young master from a wealthy family, he went alone without any troops." Li Minglou said, "I don't blame you for not being able to guard against him."
We can't paint Xiang Nan's portrait on all the soldiers and horses along the way so that everyone can strictly check and be on guard against this person.
Sooner or later, word of this would reach the White Robe Army. Xiang Nan was very shrewd and would make him guess something.
"Fortunately, it's Xiang Nan who is here this time." Li Minglou said, "He has never seen me, and he has only seen a few of you. If it were Xiang Yun, he would have guessed who I was when he walked to Yingchen.
."
There are many soldiers and horses in Jiannan Road. For Xiang Yun who has been in Jiannan Road, who can guarantee whether he will have familiar faces.
When she saw that it was Xiang Nan, she immediately took off her robe to cover her face and showed her true face. As expected, Xiang Nan didn't recognize her and was not told off on the spot. At the same time, it also confirmed her long-held suspicion that with Que'er
With her identity, she can indeed live a normal life.
The premise is that she is Que'er, so her true identity must not be called out.
"Xiang Nan is at the inn, accompanied by a soldier and five Xiang family followers." Yuan Ji said, "The city is under martial law and the inn is also surrounded."
This is not the first time that he prepared and killed Xiang Nan, but every time it was not the right time... Li Minglou was silent for a moment: "That means the Xiang family and the White Robe Army both know Xiang Nan's whereabouts."
Fang Er hurried in from outside: "I've just checked quickly. There are hundreds of white-robed troops in Xuanwu Road. They didn't hide their identities. They said they were escorting Xiang Nan back home."
"Xiang Nan is originally a soldier of Xuanwu Dao. He can move freely in Xuanwu Dao," Li Minglou said.
The men and horses brought by Zhongwu occupied only part of Xuanwu Dao. Xiang Nan was more familiar with Xuanwu Dao than Zhongwu.
"The white-robed soldiers were looking for the family members of the same comrades who went to Fanyang with Xiang Nan and died." Fang Er said, "Everyone thought that Xiang Nan was among them, but they didn't expect that he came to Guangzhou Prefecture."
Therefore, even though Xiang Nan hid his whereabouts and came to Guangzhou Prefecture, it was not unknown to everyone. His troops knew it, and the Xiang family would also know it. If Xiang Nan died in Guangzhou Prefecture, it would definitely cause trouble.
"We can start halfway." Yuanji suggested.
Xiang Nan is going to Taiyuan Prefecture and passes through many places on the way. In these troubled times, rebels and bandits are rampant, and the guards are also uncertain. It is difficult to stay alive, but death is extremely common.
"Xiang Nan's ability to escape from Fan Yang's army and become a white-robed army all the way, so that the Yicheng army can be led by him, is extraordinary." Li Minglou said, although there was no white-robed army in his previous life, Xiang Nan also had many military exploits.
In this life, he entered a dangerous situation. Not only did he not die, but he found a more courageous path.
Fang Er thought about the scenes he saw during the Battle of Surabaya. This young man was indeed brave.
"It's not like we can't kill him," he said.
"I'm not saying that I can't kill him, I just don't want others to suffer unreasonable disasters." Li Minglou sighed, "The person I want to kill is Xiang Nan. It's him who has a grudge against me, not the white robe army. Those white robe army kill the traitors."
The army protects the people and even helped them in the Battle of Surabaya. How could I let them die in our hands?"
The white-robed army formed an army because of Xiang Nan. When he was in danger, the white-robed army would sacrifice their lives to protect him. There would inevitably be a big battle along the way.
Xiang Nan is no longer just the young master of the Xiang family.
What's more, Xiang Nan's death in Guangzhou Prefecture, Huainan Road will inevitably cause earthquakes in Xuanwu Road, Huainan Road, Huazhou Yizhou and other places. These places are not yet stable, and the rebels are eyeing them. She cannot involve so many places just for Xiang Nan.
risk.
"Miss Mercy." Yuanji said.
Li Minglou said: "I'm not soft-hearted and merciful. I just want more people to live, especially those who don't deserve to die."
Yuan Ji and Fang Er looked at each other in confusion, this was compassion.
This is for herself and cannot be called compassion.
Many soldiers and civilians died in the melee in that life. God's destiny cannot be changed, so they should also die in this life. If they are allowed to survive, there are so many dead people alive, and it doesn't matter if she is one more.
"What should we do about Xiang Nan?" Yuan Ji asked, "Just let him go like this?"
"What is he doing here?" Li Minglou asked, "Did he doubt my identity? How did he know that I was at the lake?"
Yuan Ji and Fang Er couldn't answer this question. At this time, the prefect overheard that the crying had stopped, and he cautiously came over to answer their doubts.
"This is a post for the young madam from a person who calls himself Xiang Nan of the Xiang family in Taiyuan Prefecture." He pinched three or four of them. "When the young madam was away, she came to post a post every day to ask questions. I just heard that the young madam was back.
The entourage came again, and what else was written in it."
He pinched the last name card. There was a thin letter inside. Although he was curious, he didn't dare to open it and read it.
There were many men who came to seek refuge with Mrs. Wu every day. He would not think about any evil intentions of this young man just because he was very good-looking this time.
After the magistrate finished speaking, he looked at Li Minglou in trance. Mrs. Wu showed her true face and walked through the street. He did not see it with his own eyes. Now that he saw it, he felt that those descriptions were nonsense, and those descriptions were not even close to Mrs. Wu's.
So it was because the young man saw the young lady’s beauty that he was so eager to recommend himself?
The prefect was in a state of confusion. Yuanji took the post, opened the letter inside and read it. After confirming that it was not poisonous, he handed it to Li Minglou.
Although it was a lifetime apart, it was actually only a year apart. When I opened the letter, I saw the familiar fonts in my face.
In the Battle of Surabaya, the Zhenwu Army rescued the White-robed Army, and Xiang Nan thanked the Young Madam in person for her life-saving grace.
Li Minglou smiled, are you here for Mrs. Wu?
"It's the commander of the White Robe Army." She asked the magistrate to sit down and said this, "Actually, I don't dare to take it as a life-saving favor. It was also thanks to the White Robe Army that we successfully crossed Surabaya, although we were not saved in the end.
King Zhao, but because of their help, we suffered a lot less damage, so we should be the ones thanking him."
The prefect suddenly understood, so this person saw Mrs. Wu's face at that time, was so shocked that he chased her thousands of miles away...
"Master Magistrate?" Li Minglou asked.
The magistrate came back to his senses and said solemnly: "Young lady, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."
"Just ask your Excellency to entertain him." Li Minglou said, "It was not me who saved him, but the Zhenwu Army. It is enough for you to come forward to express our gratitude."
The prefect stood up and said: "Don't worry, young lady, I understand and I know how to do it."
Isn't it just to send this frivolous man away with good food, drink and good talk? The prefect went out as light as a swallow.
Li Minglou didn't know what the prefect was thinking, and didn't care. What he cared more about was whether Xiang Nan really thought of her as Mrs. Wu or whether he had just guessed something. At that time, in Surabaya, there was a melee at night, and Fang Er promptly covered the two of them with flags.
,Did Xiang Nan still see it...
Did Xiang Nan guess that she was Li Minglou? In fact, it was easy to confirm. Li Minglou looked down at his hands and touched his face. If there were no ulcers on her body, it meant that her identity had not been revealed.
However, Xiang Nan didn't recognize her face, but her voice was.
"Why don't we go to Dou County for a while?" Yuanji asked.
Li Minglou shook his head: "It's better not to move than to move."
"Don't worry, Miss. We didn't know before to let him come to Guangzhou Mansion. Now that we know it, we will never let him get close to here." Fang Er said.
Li Minglou nodded: "It happened too suddenly. You go and make arrangements and replace the personnel thoroughly."
Yuan Ji Fang Er responded and withdrew. He stood outside the door and looked at each other and felt incredulous. Why did he go round and round and meet this Xiang Nan again, and he took the initiative to come to see the eldest lady.
Although he didn't know that the person he wanted to see was the eldest lady.
He didn't know she was Li Minglou, but he still appeared in front of her. This was fate. Did fate let him expose himself? He knew that God would not let her go like this. Li Minglou looked at the table
The more I read the name card, the more annoyed I became, so I threw the name card and the letter into the brazier.
The paper turned into smoke and disappeared. Li Minglou waved his hand, still feeling stuffy, and saw a box on the table.
It was a gift from Wu Ya'er, which was carefully placed on the desk by Jin Jue.
Li Minglou took out a piece of incense and lit it. The rough and refreshing aroma rushed out, swaying in the room with a bit of ferocity, and dispersed the choking smoke.
