Opposite the entrance hall

Hearing the name Li Si suddenly, Ji Si felt a little strange, his heart skipped a beat, and he froze for a while.

This was an unexpected question. As soon as the words fell, Ji Si's eyes drifted and he panicked. He was not sure what Qi Ran meant, and even wondered for a moment whether this person saw something and deliberately tested him. But as soon as this idea came up, he was vetoed by himself.

He knows Qi Ran's temperament. No matter how elegant and dignified this person is on the surface, he is actually full of arrogance in his bones. Everything he says and does is deliberate. To test whether he is "Li Si", it would be more accurate to say that he wanted to get something out of this "Ji Si".

Ji Si stared straight at the man, stabilized his mind, threw the conversation back, and wrote on the paper:

【what for? 】

Qi Ran kept his eyes on Ji Si who was leaning on the door frame, and could see every expression and movement clearly. His expression was indifferent, and he only spoke after a while, "Before I became an official, I was a classmate with the young prince for three years. Friendship can be regarded as acquaintance for a period of time. When the young prince died of illness, the emperor held a big funeral for him. Many officials went to the court, but Mr. Ji was missing. I heard that Mr. Ji was recuperating in the mansion due to illness. Being a vegetarian for a year, he also added a lot of sesame oil money to Hongfu Temple. Someone in Hongfu Temple set up a longevity card for the young prince, without leaving a name and surname, only one word, saying, if I remember correctly, my lord will not say anything. Therefore, it is guessed that Lord Ji is familiar with the young prince Li Si."

What he said all happened after Li Si's death, and it is also something that "Ji Si" does not know now. Ji Si has been cautious and trembling since he woke up. He is at a loss for everything that happened in the six years after his death. Originally, Mr. Ji had no relatives, no friends, no true love, and no one to talk to him about the past. Qi Ran's sudden inquiry made Ji Si a little nervous.

Ji Si clenched the wolf hair in his hand, lowered his eyes and pursed his lips to think, if what Qi Ran said was true, then Lord Ji and Li Si had a very close relationship, but he is Li Si, no one can know better than himself In his impression, he had only met "Jisi" a few times, but he just nodded and didn't even say a few words, so what is the relationship between them.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while, Ji Si's mind was full of thoughts, and he hurried through the memories of the short 18 years. In an instant, a light flashed in his mind, he relaxed his brows and raised his eyes to meet Qi Ran's, and wrote:

【The little prince and I have the grace to save lives】

Qi Ran stared at those words and narrowed his eyes.

Keith wrote:

[When I first entered Lin'an, I was severely punished by His Highness the Crown Prince because of a mistake. Fortunately, the little prince interceded to save my breath. 】

These words are not nonsense, this is a matter of 32 years in Chengde, Li Hongyang and Li Hongye gave titles to the palace to build a mansion for a year, the emperor gradually let them start political affairs, soon after Li Hongyang was sent to inspect the people's situation, met Xiqiang A spy was almost arrested in a sneak attack, and was rescued by someone who desperately rescued him. He had already offered gold and silver as a thank you, but this person refused all but one request. He wanted to go to Lin'an to work for the King of Qi. People brought it back.

Mr. Ji has no culture and no martial arts. When he first entered Beijing, he was working in Prince Qi's mansion. Although it was a life-saving favor, he was still a son of a whore. The thing is, cynicism is the norm.

I remember that it was raining heavily on the day when this incident happened, Li Hongyang bought some interesting things from somewhere, and invited many people to his mansion for a drink. Li Si came late, and then he saw Lord Ji lying on the ground covered in blood. In the courtyard, the hair was disheveled, the clothes were torn, lying there motionless, if it weren’t for the slight ups and downs of the chest cavity, it would be the same as a corpse from a distance. The wound on this person’s body seemed to be bitten by some animal. The bloody flesh was still bleeding out, and the surrounding area was stained red after being washed by the rain for a while.

The rain was falling heavily, and the rumbling sound seemed to tear the sky apart. Li Si stopped and looked over, with a displeased expression on his face.

The servant holding an umbrella to lead the way saw him, and one of them stood sideways to block it tightly, and said with a flattering smile: "Don't look at it, little prince, there's nothing to see there so don't dirty your eyes, the prince and the others are waiting in the hall, let's hurry up." Let's go, don't make the prince wait too long."

Li Si frowned, and ignored him, the man raised his chin and said, "Why?"

The servant's eyes were unsteady, and he knew that the master in front of him could not be offended, so he explained with a mournful face, "The servant of the mansion, the overlord raised by the prince bit off the rope and ran out this morning, just happened to bump into this servant. , this slave is really, even if the Overlord bites him a few times, he can't die, he is very courageous, he hacked the Overlord to death a few times with a hatchet beside him, when the servants arrived, the dog slave was vicious, and the Overlord fell on the ground Breathing in the pool of blood, not to mention how miserable it was, the prince was furious and beat him half to death, then threw him in the courtyard, saying that he would kneel for two days and two nights, whether he would live or die was up to his own destiny."

The overlord Li Hongyang raises is a Xiqiang hunting dog. It was sent by his subordinates to curry favor with him. As soon as he got it, he couldn't wait to call a bunch of people to watch it. Staring at the blood-red eyes, the four hooves are big and strong. When he raised his head and stretched his limbs, he was as tall as half a person. It's really ridiculous to say that you won't die next time.

The man in the courtyard was covered with wounds from being bitten by dogs, and lay dying in the rain. Let alone two days and two nights, it is unknown whether he can survive tonight. His luck is really bad. Surrender to a difficult situation, and finally end up paying for the life of an animal. Living to such a level is not as good as a dog.

After the man finished speaking, Li Si sneered a few times, grabbed the umbrella and walked into the rain.

The servants of Prince Qi's Mansion didn't expect this sudden development, they just stood there in a daze, they didn't even think about the rainstorm and rushed up to meet them, anxiously said: "The little prince has to do what he wants and tell the servants to do it, don't get hurt by the rain." I'm dead!"

He chattered endlessly at the side, and Li Si didn't listen to a word, he just walked up to the man and handed it over, and the bean-sized raindrops fell down, soaking his clothes and hair ends in a short while.

Seeing this, the servant was even more panicked and said: "What is the little prince doing, this dog slave is so cheap, the little prince don't get caught in the rain and cold because of him, it's not worth it, it's raining so hard, It’s not good if you get sick.”

"What you said is that it is really not worthwhile to pay for my Da Jin Erlang's life for an animal from an enemy country. He killed the mad dog of Xiqiang by himself, which is brave. If everyone has this Be stubborn, my Jin cavalry has crossed the Zhuluyuan long ago, so if you want to be in such a dilemma today, in my opinion, this person is not only innocent but should be rewarded!"

"This..." The servants of Prince Qi's Mansion hesitated for a long time and didn't know what to answer. If he agreed to this, he would be making it clear that he would slap his master in the face. If he should not, then the little ancestor in front of him would not It's so perfunctory, whether it's going forward or back, it's a troublesome thing, and I'm a little embarrassed, a lot of sweat mixed with the rain dripped down my cheeks.

Li Si stared at him for a while, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he said: "No matter how noble the dog is, it is still an unfamiliar animal. Does it not allow others to resist when it rushes over? If it is you, you can still stand and let it bite. Can't bite? Natural selection, survival of the fittest, death is death, how can people pay for their lives? I went to King Qi and said, you don't need to lead the way, I will go there by myself, go find it quickly Let a doctor take a look at this man, don't die."

"Yes, little prince, go slowly."

Waiting for the person to go far away, the servant crouched on the ground, fiercely pulled up the hair of the man lying in the rain who couldn't see his face clearly, and said viciously: "You are a good slave, the little prince begged for you Save your dog's life, and be more careful in the future! I will skin you next time, bah!"

After finishing speaking, he spat on his face before walking away cursing again.

Mr. Ji closed his eyes and just held his breath, he couldn't lift a sliver of strength, the saliva was washed by the rain and slipped from his forehead, his ears were buzzing, his eyelids trembled slightly, and only the rain could be seen The rain and mist splashed all over the sky, his lips moved slightly, soundlessly.

Later, Li Si stepped forward to protect this person, and all the princes of the family were there, and Li Hongyang was also willing to sell his favor, so the matter was left alone, so that he didn't take it to heart at all. If it wasn't for Qi Ran's problem today, he would He will not rack his brains at all to recall, nor will he think of the oil umbrella that was carefully treasured in Mrs. Ji's secret room, nor will he think of all the things that happened in Prince Qi's mansion that day.

What exactly Qi Ran wanted to know, Ji Si didn't know, and he didn't make a sound after writing that sentence, Ji Si wasn't sure how much this person believed, and only heard him say after a while: "It was when His Royal Highness was in the residence of the Crown Prince. ?"

Keith nodded.

"It's fate," Qi Ran said softly, and then looked around, "It's getting late, Mr. Ji should rest earlier, so I won't bother you."

He nodded and nodded, turned around and went back to the room. Ji Si had a lot of questions in his mind and couldn't find anyone to solve them. He wanted to ask Qi Ran what he meant, but he also knew that now was not the time to talk about it, so he frowned and sighed. He took a breath and had to go back to the house.

The night was extremely long, and too many people tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. After the lights were turned off, Xiangzhou City seemed particularly quiet after falling asleep, only the shouts of the watchman and the sound of the wind could be heard.

In the middle of the night, the thin clouds were blown away, revealing the faintly shining full moon, hanging alone in the mid-air.

The moonlight shone on the ground, illuminating the watchman who was shuttling through the city. He was drowsily drowsily holding a gong and a lantern, boom—boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!One after another.

At this moment, a black shadow flashed past, and the watchman suddenly turned his head, held the lantern in front of his eyes and leaned forward, but he saw nothing but the swaying branches blown by the wind. Rubbing his eyes, he scratched his itchy scalp with some doubts, then retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward, when a long voice sounded, "Dry sky and dry things! Be careful of candles!"

The sound gradually dissipated, and the figure walked farther and farther away. The dead branches showed their teeth and claws, and there were many shadows.

The man jumped out of the city with the help of a branch, avoiding the guarding soldiers on patrol, and landed in a forest. He knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully, "Mr. Zhong."

Looking along the place where he saluted, only to find a group of people covered in black cloth standing there, leaving only a pair of eyes, this group of people standing in the shadow of the tree, if they don't make a sound, they can't see anyone at all , the leader asked in a cold voice: "What's going on inside?"

The kneeling man raised his head and said truthfully: "Ji Buyan and Qi Ziheng have been here for almost half a month. As Mr. guessed, they really noticed that something was wrong with Dou Yuanliang. After compensating his wife and breaking his army, he fell everywhere, so he caught Ji and planned to put all his eggs in one basket. Everything was done according to what the husband said, but I don't know what went wrong, and Ji Si didn't die. "

"Ji Buyan is not dead?" Mr. Zhong frowned, and his tone was a little unbelievable, "I underestimated him, he can turn danger into good luck every time, life is great! Dou Yuanliang is a waste, and Ji Buyan can solve it No."

After he finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said: "What are their plans now, but they are going back to Beijing."

"I don't know," the man said, "but it doesn't look like he's going back to Beijing. Ji Si is injured and needs to recuperate for a few days. Besides, this subordinate thinks something is a little strange."

"What's the matter?"

"Qi Ran ordered some doctors in the city to be locked up."

"Doctor?" Mr. Zhong paced back and forth, staring at the man with his eyes downcast, and asked, "Where did he go today?"

"I don't know." The man shook his head.

Mr. Zhong waved his hands a little irritably, "Follow them carefully, and contact them with codes if necessary. Be careful not to be seen when you go back."

"Yes," the person who spoke slowly got up and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and knelt back and said, "There is one more thing that my subordinates have not reported."

"Ok?"

"Wang Zhigui died this morning."

"died?"

"The news was suppressed, and the details are not clear. It is said that he died suddenly and suddenly, and it was rumored among the officers and soldiers that he had contracted an illness."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhong curled his lips into a smile, and his slightly squinted eyes showed a gleam of light, "The flood, the doctor was imprisoned, and he got sick. If I guess correctly, something big will happen in Xiangzhou."

"Mister has a plan."

Mr. Zhong didn't answer him, but just looked into the distance and said: "To set fire to Chibi, you need to take advantage of the east wind. This east wind is just right, and the fire is not strong enough. Let's add fire to them."

The fluttering wings of the crows in the forest flew around, breaking the tranquility of the mountain.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Qi Ran: Are you secretly in love with my partner?

Master Ji: Meow meow? ? ?

Qi Ran: Why did you set up a longevity tablet for him, why did you hide that umbrella, why did you have to let him be reborn on you after death, you are very scheming, do you want to get his body like this!I want to become one with him, I already understand it!

Master Ji:? ? ? ! ! !I don't know anything, I'm just an npc!
