Traveling in July, it was hot, humid and stuffy. When Nian'er put her hands on her face, it was not only burning, but also covered with sweat every time she wiped it.
Seeing a city ahead, Nian'er ordered that he must enter the city.
"I'm rushing to go home, and I'm not rushing to save people and lives. Why do I have to have the eldest lady die of exhaustion on the way?"
Nian'er shouted angrily to Li Fengjing.
He was forcibly escorted away from Jiangling Mansion. Not long after, Li Fengjing followed with his men and horses, and the same people and cars from Taiyuan Mansion continued their journey home again.
Li Mingqi also seemed to have never been to Jiangling Mansion, nor was she kicked out, so she resumed her eldest lady behavior.
Nian'er naturally returned to her big girl behavior.
This is also a kind of taking things easy. What can Li Fengjing do when he meets such a person? Minghua said that although everyone who should know knows it, since he doesn't tell the truth, there is an advantage in not telling the truth. He can do the Xiang family's benefits.
No matter what, he couldn't ignore the Li family.
Li Fengjing took a deep breath: "How could it be? Since the eldest lady is tired, we will go to the city to take a rest this time."
He conveyed the order to the soldiers and generals, and the soldiers and horses rolled towards the city.
This is a large city. It has not been affected by the war. The city is intact and there are many people entering and exiting the city gate. When they saw a group of soldiers and horses that were obviously not Henan Dao Guards running towards them, the people immediately fled in panic.
, not many fled to the city, because they knew that if the city gate was closed, it would not be opened for them...
But the city gate was not closed, and no soldiers and horses came out to stop it. The soldiers and horses guarding the city ran up the city wall and looked down, but did not ask any questions.
Li Fengjing could only step forward and announce his home: "We are on Jiannan Road. We are passing through here to go to Shannan Road. Flags have been displayed along the way."
There were so many soldiers and horses walking on the road, and the bandits and horsemen fled in the wind. After entering Henan Road, they did not encounter the guards. They also saw them from a distance, but before they could get closer, the guards disappeared. It seemed that they had run away or ran away.
Hidden...
The guards in Jiannan Road could only announce their homes loudly and wave their flags, which was considered a greeting.
Unexpectedly, when encountering a city, the soldiers and horses guarding the city still ran away, and the city gates were not even closed.
After hearing what Li Fengjing said, the general guarding the city gate asked: "Do you want to enter the city or pass through the city?"
Li Fengjing said: "When we enter the city, we have to stay one night. We have many soldiers and horses, but half of them must follow us into the city, because..."
Before he finished speaking, the guard at the city gate had already waved his hand: "Then you can go in and find a place to live by yourself. We don't care."
Regardless of food and accommodation? Or regardless of entry and exit? Li Fengjing was stunned for a moment. Isn't this too casual? And I haven't checked my identity yet. I just heard that it was the Jiannan Road Guards...
After saying this, the guards on the city gate disappeared. Li Fengjing and a group of people hesitated in front of the city gate. The people snooping around became bolder at this time. A few came over and saluted and said hello, "Want to stay at the hotel?" "Yes?"
How many people are there?" "We can't live in the city, but we have a place outside." They came here to promote business.
Seeing Li Fengjing's puzzled expression, two shopkeepers smiled and told them to just go into the city and the guards would not care.
"Aren't you afraid that we are fake?" Li Fengjing asked, making a fierce face, "What if we are rebels pretending to be?"
The two shopkeepers smiled and saluted: "Even if you are a rebel, the city gate will be opened. You can enter at will and take whatever you want."
Li Fengjing was stunned and angrily shouted: "This is outrageous!"
The older shopkeeper still smiled: "Sir, our area is surrounded by the Southeast Road, Jiangnan Road, Huainan Road, Jiannan Road, and Shannan Road. Now that the capital has been recovered, if the rebels can still come, they won't be able to stop them.
, they can’t stop them, so what’s the use of hitting an egg against a stone here?”
Li Fengjing was stunned: "What's the truth?"
The young shopkeeper stretched out his hand to lead the horse for him: "In this world, staying alive is the only thing that matters. Master, come and live in our house. We have a luxurious house, and we have servants and servants. You can do whatever you want."
The older man did not compete with him for business, but stared at the thousands of soldiers and horses: "I have a manor that can accommodate a thousand people."
If you serve the master and the driver well, you can get a large reward, but if you serve the thousands of people well, the reward is even greater.
It seems that they are all used to doing this. Li Fengjing didn't have the energy to discuss right and wrong anymore, so he led people into the city and told the soldiers to be careful... Don't lie to them. Everyone here can be a soldier, etc.
They went in, killed them, and robbed them.
Thousands of soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road entered the city. Half of the city was shaken by their footsteps. The remaining soldiers and horses simply stayed outside the city gates on all sides, camped on the spot, buried pots to make rice, and even took over the city defense...
...
Despite this, the city's defenders still couldn't hide, as if someone was guarding the city for them, they all went to rest.
No official in the government came out to question him, as if he didn't know that thousands of Jiannan Dao troops had entered the city.
This city in Henan Province was really ridiculous. Li Fengjing was shocked, surprised and angry. Is this still considered a guard of Daxia? Is this considered a rebellion? He angrily commented on the past and the present, until the waiter who came in to deliver food said
Arrive at Taiyuan Prefecture.
"We don't have many soldiers and horses here." He said, "I heard that there are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Taiyuan Prefecture, as well as soldiers and horses from the southeastern road of Jiannan Road. They all personally went to pick up the rebels into the city, but we didn't go.
Welcome the rebels."
He looked at Li Fengjing and asked curiously.
"Sir, are you also soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road? Do you know what is going on there?"
Li Fengjing's face turned red after being asked, and he drove away the store clerk on the pretext that he was tired. He lay on the bed and couldn't sleep. He scolded the Xiang family, Zhao Jin of Taiyuan Prefecture, the Qi family, Li Mingqi, and thought of his daughter Li Minghua.
I feel happy that I am courageous, knowledgeable and intelligent, and I am excited by the thought of returning to Shannan Road and doing some work in Jiannan Road...
Li Mingqi would not have these random thoughts of Li Fengjing.
She stayed in the best room in the manor, soaked in the bath with goat's milk and flower petals, picked up a few bites of exquisite side dishes, and gave the rest to Nian'er.
"Miss, even if you are angry, you still have to eat enough." Nian'er advised while eating a big meal.
Li Mingqi sat aside, letting her hair down and thinking: "I'm not angry. Being angry is the most useless thing. I won't do it. I'm thinking about what to do next."
Nian'er raised her head while holding the bowl. Yes, Li Minghua knew that the young lady was fake, so he dared to bully the young lady. Everyone back home in Shannan Road also knew that, so he would definitely bully the young lady even more. Nian'er was worried...
..I have to take another bite of food. The days of traveling are really hard.
"I want to see Mingyu." Li Mingqi pinched her fingers and said.
Nian'er choked and coughed a few times before swallowing, her eyes widened and she whispered: "Miss, then the secret is revealed."
Even if her family members bully her, they will still support her and pretend to be a young lady in order to deceive Li Mingyu. If Mingyu knows, she will no longer be a young lady!
Li Mingqi twisted her hanging hair, her face was as pink as a flower after taking a bath, and she pursed her lips: "I think..."
She felt that maybe Mingyu had already known that she was fake.
If Mingyu knew she was fake but didn't reveal it, then she needs to be the eldest lady.
If Mingyu didn't know...
So many people lied to him, and she told him that if she didn't lie to him, she would get close to him. When the time comes, she would convince Mingyu to let her continue to be the eldest lady.
So whether Mingyu knows it or not, she has to see him in person. Only in this way can she continue to be the eldest lady!
Li Mingqi stood up: "I must see Mingyu first."
Nian'er held the bowl: "How can we meet..."
Before she finished speaking, there were footsteps outside the door. Someone was walking by. As if they heard their words, they stopped and made a sound.
"Sister, do you want to see me?"
It was a young man's voice, clear and transparent, as sweet as the tinkling of spring water.
However, Li Mingqi and Nian'er became numb for a moment and let out a scream.
Most of the guards brought in were surrounding her. As long as she dropped her chopsticks in the room and shouted, the guards outside could smash the doors and windows and rush in.
It's even less likely that someone could approach her door at will.
But now there were people outside the door listening to them and answering them. There was no response from the surroundings, and it seemed that all the guards had disappeared.
Li Mingyu opened the door and came in, smiling at the master and servant in the room: "What's the matter?"
Nian'er hugged the bowl tightly and looked at the young man standing at the door with her mouth wide open. The young man's hands and feet were slender and his face was as bright as jade...
So pretty.
Nian'er blurted out: "Who are you!"
She didn't recognize Li Mingyu. The child who came to Li's house in a hurry was not her master, and she didn't need to remember him.
This is something the master should remember.
Li Mingqi stretched out her hand to press her heart, and opened her mouth. It took a long time for the face in front of her to coincide with the face of the child three years ago, and she took a breath: "Mingyu, why are you here?"
Li Mingyu said: "When I heard that my sister was coming home, of course I had to come to greet her."
Li Mingqi pouted slightly: "As expected, Minghua told you." He looked at Mingyu again and made a pun, "Did you know it a long time ago, or did you just know it?"
Nian'er didn't understand what they were saying, so she moved to the corner with the bowl in her arms.
Li Mingyu came over and sat at the table and said with a smile, "I knew it a long time ago."
Li Mingqi threw her hair behind her, sat down next to him, smiled with crooked eyes, "Sure enough, I knew I couldn't hide it from Mingyu." She asked him again, "Have you eaten? When did you arrive?"
"
Tell Nian'er to get out and prepare food for the young master.
Nian'er rolled out with the bowl in her arms. Li Mingyu didn't stop her and answered seriously: "I'm not hungry, I just got here."
When Li Mingqi heard that he was not hungry, she sniffed and cried: "Mingyu, you lost Taiyuan Mansion, do you blame me?"
Li Mingyu hurriedly shook his head: "Sister, don't cry. How can I blame you? There are so many people in Taiyuan Prefecture."
Li Mingqi raised her hand to wipe her tears, and wiped her face hard with the back of her hand, leaving a bruise: "The Xiang family broke away from us, the Qi family came to snatch our profits, and Taiyuan Mansion fell into pieces. In the end, it became such a mess. I can only take it with me."
People leave.”
Li Mingyu said: "It's right for my sister to leave. Our Li family doesn't need to sacrifice a woman's death in the name of loyalty."
Li Mingqi wiped away tears: "I know that people can be more useful when they are alive, so I went back to Jiangling Mansion, thinking I could help, but Minghua actually kicked me out."
Li Mingyu said: "Sister, don't you want to go home? It's not easy being outside."
Li Mingqi stood up: "Mingyu, we are both the daughters of the Li family. Minghua can do his best for the Li family and lead the troops. Naturally, I can too. You have few brothers and sisters. When father and son fight against brothers, at this time, I hide back."
Isn’t my life at home in vain?”
Li Mingyu said: "Sister, I have also heard about your stay in Taiyuan Mansion. My sister is a person with great ambitions."
Li Mingqi immediately sat back next to him, holding her hands and looking at him with shining almond eyes: "Then you agree to let me go back to Jiangling Mansion?"
Li Mingyu shook his head: "Sister, Jiangling Mansion is not good. That belongs to sister Minghua."
Li Mingqi stood up again and said angrily: "I am also a sister, how come she can do it and I can't?" Tears fell from her eyes and her voice felt aggrieved, "Why do you use her instead of me? You still blame me for losing Taiyuan Mansion."
Li Mingyu stood up. The boy had grown taller this year and was not short at all when standing in front of Li Mingqi. He waved his hand and said: "Taiyuan Mansion really doesn't blame you. As for why Minghua doesn't use you..."
He looked at Li Mingqi.
"Because you only want to get it and don't dare to give it up."
Li Mingqi felt aggrieved: "What, why don't I dare to do it anymore? Is there anything I don't dare to let go of? You didn't even ask me to do it, so you just said I can't do it."
Li Mingyu also felt that she was being wronged by saying this, so she simply pointed in one direction: "Let's see, three cities in the southwest of Jiangnan Road are under siege. There are 30,000 rebels there. I will give you 10,000 soldiers and horses now, and you can go and rescue them."
If you save these three cities, Jiangnan Road will respect you."
Li Mingqi is not a young lady now, she only knows the value of jewelry.
"Thirty thousand?" She raised her voice, "How can I win with ten thousand soldiers and horses? Mingyu, you are making things difficult for me."
Li Mingyu shaved his face with his fingers: "Oh, sister is afraid of death!"
Li Mingqi pouted and said, "I'm not afraid of death, but how could I knowingly risk death?"
Li Mingyu smiled, stood up straight and put his hands behind his back. The boy's naughty atmosphere disappeared: "Minghua, if you dare."
When Jiangling Mansion was besieged, Li Mingqi brought less than 10,000 troops back to rescue him. The rebels had far more than 30,000, and they were also famous fierce generals.
Although Li Mingqi was in Taiyuan Prefecture, he also collected news from Jiangling Prefecture. Hearing this, he said: "That's because there are reinforcements from Huainan Road and Southeast Road."
Li Mingyu shook his head: "When Sister Minghua led the troops back to Jiangling Mansion, she didn't know that reinforcements were coming from Huainan Road and Southeast Road."
Li Mingqi didn't argue with him. She stretched out one, two, and three fingers and said, "If you give me another 30,000 troops, I will go."
Li Mingyu smiled and said: "Sister, you have no courage. You only want to get and don't want to pay. If I give you 350,000 soldiers and horses, you still can't take these three cities."
He raised his hand and waved to her, stopping Li Mingqi from speaking.
"The benefits of this world belong first to those who are not afraid of death."
