His own son, with a smile on his face, replied showing off, "It's a child." After thinking for a while, he realized that he didn't know how many months he had, so he looked at Li Qi for help.

Li Qi said vaguely, "I don't know the details yet." After speaking, he changed the subject and said, "I wonder if there is a vacant room here, little brother?"

When the younger brother heard that the business was coming, he was immediately attracted to him, and said, "Of course, of course, so, the two guest officials want to stay in the shop?"

Li Qi nodded and said, "Please book a room for us, little brother."

The second elder brother hurriedly replied, "The two guest officers, please." After speaking, he took the two of them to the tent where the abacus beads were bowed down.He knocked on the table and said, "Big man, these two guests want a guest room."

The accountant looked up at the two of them, then lowered his head to glance at the account book, then took out the key and threw it to the second brother, then buried himself in his abacus.

The younger brother said to Li Qi and the two apologetically, "I'm sorry, two guests, this big man has such a temper." After speaking, he turned to the accountant and said angrily, "If you don't tell me which guest room, we will how to get to."

The accountant didn't raise his head, but said slowly, "Someone knows."

Li Qi pointed to the key in the second brother's hand, and said to the second brother, "There is a room number on the sign under the key, it is Tianzi No. [-] room, the second brother will take us there."

The second brother took the key and looked at it. Of course he knew that there was a room number under the key, but unfortunately, he was illiterate.

After the few people left, the accountant, who lowered his head and concentrated on dialing the abacus, raised his head and looked at the few people who were going up the stairs.There is a bit of insight into the truth in the dark eyes, it seems that these two people don't know anything now, otherwise they would not travel in such a hurry.

36. Gu Clan...

The next morning, when Li Qi took Bao'er to the accountant to settle the rent, the accountant took a few glances at Li Qi, pointed to Bao'er next to him and asked, "Is he very important to you?"

Li Qi looked at the accountant in confusion, wondering why the accountant seemed indifferent and difficult, so he suddenly thought of asking him this question.But he still replied concisely, "It's as important as life."

The accountant stared at him with dark eyes, as if trying to discern the truth from what he said. After a while, he said in secret, "It's not in vain for him to suffer this for you." He took out an exquisite white jade box from his sleeve and handed it to Li Qi.The box was not big, and it was engraved with snake-like patterns around it.

Li Qi was stunned, took the box, hesitated a few times, and asked, "What do you know, sir?" He always felt that the eyes of the accountant seemed to know everything.

The accountant took a brush and drew a few strokes on the account book, then lowered his head and concentrated on his calculations, as if he didn't hear Li Qi's question.

Seeing that he ignored him, Li Qi had no choice but to stuff the small white jade box given by the accountant into his luggage, and said, "Then I will take my leave." After speaking, he took Bao'er and left.They had to rush to the tomb city before dark, so it was inconvenient to stay for a long time.

The second brother sent the two of them away, and then came back with a questioning face and said to the accountant, "I said big man, you actually hid such a treasure."

The accountant lowered his head and dialed the abacus, as if he had never heard of it, the second brother continued to babble, hating iron and steel, "You said that I will feed you and live in you, but you didn't say that you would dedicate such a treasure to me." The second brother, Balabala, babbled a series of heartbroken words, how much is such a treasure worth at first sight?

The hand of the accountant who moved the beads of the abacus stopped, there was a faint black line on the forehead, and the buzzing in the ears was all from the little second brother's chanting, so he simply threw away the pen and directly pulled the little second brother over to stop his mouth.The second brother's eyes were wide open, with a look of astonishment on his face.Mr. Accountant's usually expressionless face showed a faint satisfied smile, and he finally became quiet.

By the time Li Qi and his two arrived at the Xu Mansion in the Tomb City, it was almost sunset.Li Qi asked Bao'er to stay in the car, and went to knock on the door by himself.It was Uncle Xu who opened the door, and when he saw Li Qi, he said with a happy expression, "It's Mr. Li, the master just returned to the mansion today, so he said that he will visit you in the morning."

Li Qi was overjoyed when he heard Uncle Xu's words, if Xu Qing was in the mansion, it would save a lot of trouble, and the next thing would be much more convenient.Hurry up to the car and help Bao'er down, and enter the mansion with Uncle Xu.

After Xu Qing came back and washed up, she went to the study to do business.Uncle Xu invited two people to sit and wait in the guest room, let the maid serve tea, and went to the study to ask Xu Qing to come out.

Bao'er had driven for a long time, her face was full of fatigue, sitting next to Li Qi at the moment, she just drank some tea and ate a few snacks, she looked sleepy.Li Qi was worried that he would fall asleep here and catch a cold later, so he pulled him to talk, and Bao'er responded from time to time, and then fell silent after a while.Li Qi looked to the side, Bao'er was sitting on a chair, with his head tilted, and was fast asleep.

Li Qi had no choice but to wander around other people's mansions, so he had to take out a cloak from his luggage and put it on him.

"Long time no see, Zhong Xuan still takes care of people as before."

Li Qi turned his head and found that the person who spoke was Xu Qing.Li Qi said with a smile, "I don't know if General Xu is the same as before, obeying what the third brother says?" Although he said this in a joking tone, it also carried the meaning of testing.

Xu Qing avoided answering Li Qi's words, and only pointed to the sleeping Bao'er and said, "Let Xu Bo take him into the room to sleep first." After seeing Li Qiying, she was about to call Xu Bo to bring Bao'er in. .

Seeing that Bao'er was sleeping soundly, Li Qi couldn't bear to wake him up, he didn't sleep well at night recently, his feet always had cramp, and he always fell asleep and woke up from the pain.Li Qi simply said to Xu Qing, "I'll carry Bao'er and go in with Uncle Xu." After speaking, he gently picked up Bao'er and signaled Uncle Xu to lead the way.

After Li Qi carried Bao'er in and put him on the bed, he went to the study with Xu Qing to talk.Li Qi didn't beat around the bush, and first asked directly, "Did the third brother ask people to do the tricks on the villagers of the small mountain village this time?"

Xu Qing said in a roundabout way, "Don't blame your third brother, if he hadn't kept it from you these few years, the one above would have already known about you."

Li Qi smiled wryly, "I said when I left that I would never go back, so why does Third Brother always refuse to let me go."

Xu Qing said, "You always misunderstood him. It was like this back then, and it is also like this now. Do you know that if the one above wanted to call you back to Yecheng, he really couldn't stop him, so why would he force you to go back like this?"

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and said, "So what, at most it's just a leak and my title will be cut."

Xu Qing said, "If it's really that simple, why should we bother, your elder brother and second elder brother have already read your book, saying that you are not guarding the border, just playing with your duties, collaborating with the enemy and judging the country."

Li Qi was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that even though he was far away from disputes, there were still people who would not let him go.

"Within one month at most, Ye City will call you back to Beijing. If you don't return, you will be accused of collaborating with the enemy and condemning the country." Xu Qing continued.

Li Qi was silent, and Fang said after a while, "So, the third brother will try his best to make me unable to stay in the small mountain village?"

Xu Qing didn't speak, it was all acquiescence to what Li Qi said.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Li Qi already had the answer, so he stopped asking him and asked instead, "Have Ziyan and you guys been in touch all this time?"

Xu Qing said, "At the beginning you were determined to go, and Mo Gui was afraid that something would happen to you, so he asked Ziyan to take care of you?"

Li Qi continued to ask: "That Ziyan disappeared suddenly, and why?"

After a long time, Xu Qing said, "Mogui asked Ziyan to facilitate the matter between you and Bao'er, saying that Bao'er was used to blackmail you into Beijing in the end. But Ziyan suddenly lost contact with us, and then we disappeared. I don't know where he went."

Li Qi frowned, "Then you didn't check, where is he now, is there any surprise?"

Xu Qing said, "At present, we only know that he is in the territory of the country, but we haven't found out where he is."

Li Qi frowned, and said, "When Yecheng calls, I will go back. Can you help me find Ziyan as soon as possible? With Bao'er's current situation, we can only see if Ziyan can do anything."

Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, "After Ziyan disappeared, Mogui asked me to check his news, and I found out that Ziyan went to the country this time to inquire about the Gu clan in the country?"

Li Qi was surprised, "The Gu family of the country?"

Xu Qing said, "It is said that the Gu clan of the Qi Kingdom can plant Gu things into people's bodies without anyone noticing."

Li Qi stood up, his face paled in shock, "You mean, Bao'er's belly is so big, it's very likely that she was planted with a Gu."

Xu Qing nodded, "At present, the most likely thing is to be planted with a Gu."

Li Qi came to a sudden, "No wonder that thing can still move, it is a living thing." But he was even more worried in his heart, there is no news from Ziyan, whether it is because he has not found a solution.

Seeing that he was worried, Xu Qing comforted him, "Don't be too careful. Since Ziyan knew about it so early, he must be sure to come back before Bao'er is in danger."

Now there seems to be no other way but to wait for Ziyan's news, Li Qidao said, "That's it, I'll go and see Bao'er first."

"Zhongxuan!" Xu Qing called to stop Li Qi who was about to go out.

Li Qi turned his head and asked him what's the matter with his eyes.

Xu Qing hesitated for a long time before saying, "After all, you and Mo Gui are of the same mother, and he did this for your own good, so don't blame him too much."

Li Qi smiled wryly, "You forgot, it was because of the third brother that A Niang died. If there was no such thing, I wouldn't..." He didn't finish what he said next, but
