This "welcome banquet" was also lackluster. The Li brothers and sisters, whose eldest brother died, were obviously not in the mood to drink and have fun, and it was not appropriate. They just held a regular banquet in the mansion to introduce Li Qinglin's cronies to Qin Yi.
There are four or five so-called cronies, both civilized and military, and their attitude towards Qin Yi is relatively official. After all, it is not easy to express likes and dislikes in such a position. Even if some people may look down upon this inexplicable alchemist, their attitudes are not the same.
Can't express it.
All Qin Yi could see was a spring-like smile, with a touch of scrutiny and alienation in the salute.
Even Li Qingjun no longer had the casual intimacy of comrades-in-arms, and also maintained a distance from Qin Yi. During the dinner, her attitude was more dignified than anyone else. Qin Yi even saw her covering the wine glass with her small hand and sipping lightly.
The woman in the pavilion holding up his wine gourd and drinking from it seemed to be just a flash in the pan.
"A very depressing feeling." Returning to his guest room, Qin Yi sat down by the window, leaning against the window sill and looking at the flowers in the yard, "I would rather walk around the world to slay demons with the Li brothers and sisters, but I really don't want to
See them in the capital."
Li Qingjun had already left. She had her own place, and of course she would not stay at her brother's place. Li Qinglin also summoned his cronies to discuss matters. Most of them were related to the position of the prince, but he didn't let Qin Yi listen. Qin Yi didn't care, so he went back by himself.
Into the guest house.
Liusu's voice was a bit teasing: "I regret going out with them? You are so carefree in Xianji Mountain, right?"
"My heart is far away. It doesn't matter where I live." Qin Yi took out the wine gourd and took a sip before realizing that he had reached the bottom and threw it aside with some boredom.
"Just pretend." Liusu said, "Why don't you bring a peach wood sword with you when you go to this reception banquet?"
"Why are you taking it with you?" Qin Yi asked back: "Even if there is a demon around Li Qinglin, it doesn't mean that it is evidence of brother murder. Instead, it made me violent and hurt others during the dinner. How can I mess around in the future?"
Liusu asked seemingly casually: "If he really kills his brother, will you still cooperate with him?"
Qin Yi looked at the yard in trance, and said after a long time: "I don't know."
"Actually, even if he kills his brother, it has nothing to do with you. What you want to deal with is just the Imperial Preceptor." Liusu Yuhan encouraged: "It would be better for Li Qinglin to have plans for the throne, and he would be more confident in dealing with the Imperial Preceptor."
Qin Yi was still in a trance and didn't know what he was thinking of. After a long time, he said: "Anyway, I still believe him now. When the prince was assassinated, he was still looking for me in the mountains. He was provoked by a Taoist nun he didn't know.
If you are suspicious of your partners, you have a problem with your brain."
Liusu smiled and understood.
Qin Yi used one word, "currently". Liusu knew that although Qin Yi said he believed him, there was still a trace of confusion in his heart, and at least he would pay a little attention to this matter in daily contact.
Qin Yi suddenly said: "By the way, can you control this sword? I don't want such an uncontrollable thing to be around."
Liusu chuckled: "Come with me to cultivate immortality."
Qin Yi said contemptuously: "I think you probably can't."
I saw a mace jumping up on the spot: "Who said I can't do it!"
…………
Li Qinglin also discussed with his cronies in the secret room how to deal with the upcoming changes in the current situation. Every arrangement was made, and the night was already dark.
The cronies said goodbye and left. Li Qinglin breathed a sigh of relief and sat alone in the secret room looking at the bright light of the night pearl without moving for a long time.
In the corner where the light of the night pearl cannot shine, a female voice suddenly came: "In the past two days, a very strong spiritual consciousness has been shrouding the area. I don't even dare to go out."
The female voice sounded a little childish and cold, and if Qin Yi heard what she said, he would probably jump up.
There is no doubt that this is the monster Minghe is catching!
Li Qinglin laughed dumbly: "No wonder I said you haven't left yet. You just left after you agreed to do this for me."
"Do you still have the heart to laugh?" The female voice said coldly: "Do you know what this means is that I have been exposed, and there are foreign monks who have never seen me staring at me."
Li Qinglin's smile remained the same: "You said that if things don't work out, you will kill yourself to repay the favor and won't cause me any trouble. I hope your so-called soul and blood oath is more reliable than human ones."
There was silence in the shadow for a long time, and then he sighed in a low voice: "The blood oath is very effective, you don't have to worry... Did you invite an alchemist back?"
Li Qinglin asked: "Do you hope he can help you get through this?"
"The ants are still alive, let alone me? I...of course I don't want to die."
Li Qinglin thought for a while, sighed and said: "Since the other party is not entering the house, you can stay here for now, and I will talk to Qin Yi tomorrow before making any calculations..."
"You..." The female voice was quite surprised: "Are you still willing to help me? This may get you into trouble, and it may even make Qin Yi doubt you."
Everyone knows that the best solution is to fulfill the oath and commit suicide. Not to mention the monks outside, no one will know that there was a monster here, and the last clue to the prince's case has been completely wiped out.
The woman seemed to really not expect that Li Qinglin would choose to help her. This was completely beyond her knowledge of Li Qinglin.
Li Qinglin didn't need her to think about it, and said to himself: "Actually, this matter... After all, it is not too difficult to understand that there are monsters around me, and Qin Yi doesn't seem to be a stubborn person who kills monsters on sight. Whoever has nothing to do will put the prince on the case."
Being involved with you? I can help the monsters raised in my house, right?"
"Yes. It's just that things have arisen..."
"Okay." Li Qinglin waved his hand, "You said that I am helping you, but why don't I want to take this opportunity to meet the monk you call me? Qin Yi has no practice after all. If his alchemy skills are not enough, maybe this person you call me
Foreign monks are my last choice, and they may not be from Donghuazi."
The female voice fell silent again.
Foreign monks meant that they had nothing to do with the local forces. They were indeed the ones Li Qinglin could unite with, and the price he had to pay was probably just her head.
"A person like you...are not afraid that this plan of walking on the edge of the cliff will eventually go wrong?"
"It's up to people to plan things." Li Qinglin said lightly: "At least for now, everything is going smoothly."
The female voice said indifferently: "It's okay to plot against my enemy. You used the excuse of accompanying Princess Zhaoyang to search for immortals, and not only invited the alchemist back, but also took the opportunity to create proof that had nothing to do with the prince's case. Everything went according to your plan.
The only person who was exploited was Princess Zhaoyang, who happily went to find immortals with her brother. Do you feel no regrets in your heart?"
Li Qinglin pondered and said to himself: "Qingjun is a romantic monkey on the road to seek immortality, and she has the purest truth. She will grow up eventually, I just don't know what the opportunity is."
"monkey?"
"Yes, monkey, and I am the monkey who is gambling with Tathagata, and I am fighting hard. If I don't have any means, and I am still as naive as Qingjun, I will not be able to escape the ending at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain." Li Qinglin's expression changed again.
Became dull: "I am walking on thin ice now, how can I find the energy to take care of everyone's mood?"
