I write a eulogy every day for the person beside my pillow

Huang Zhengqian pressed against the door nervously, hiding behind his back with a small dagger in his hand, and watched the actions of the group of Rongdi soldiers through the gap in the door.

The group of soldiers had already come out from the previous room, Huang Zhengqian's eyes widened, he turned his head and found Li Yu who was pacing back and forth impatiently, and silently shouted, "Your Highness, come behind the old minister!"

Li Yu walked over quickly, and before he got closer, Huang Zhengqian blocked Li Yu with the posture of an old hen protecting its cubs.

Li Yu patted Huang Zhengqian on the back, pointed to the porthole of the room, and asked with his eyes if he would jump out of the window and escape.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Huang Zhengqian exerted all his strength and drew out his dagger to stab the person who came.

Don't look at Taifu Huang's dry body, usually it takes a lot of effort to catch a chicken, and the speed of assassination with death as one's heart, almost overwhelmed Li Li.

Li Li grabbed Taifu Huang's wrist, and Taifu Huang immediately released his strength, and the dagger fell vertically downwards.

Li Li immediately kicked the dagger with the back of his foot, and the dagger flew upwards and returned to Li Li's hand silently.

Taifu Huang opened his mouth and looked at Li Li in shock. When he realized that he had mistakenly assassinated the target, he was panting, and the two white mustaches at the corners of his mouth stood up.

Before Mrs. Huang wanted to scold someone, this was the standard posture.

Li Li turned the dagger, put the tip on the inside of his arm, raised his index finger to his lips, "Shh."

Taifu Huang subconsciously followed suit, and then seemed to think why he listened to Li Li, pursed his lips and exhaled from his nostrils, and his beard flew up again.

Li Li had to bite the flesh on both sides of his cheeks to barely hold back his smile.

The crown prince poked his head out from behind Huang Zhengqian, "How?"

He was asking Li Li about the results of his investigation.

Li Li gave his brother Huang a reassuring look, telling him and the Taifu to go back and sit down, not to move rashly.

As soon as he made the arrangement, the soldiers came in.

Li Li got up to greet him warmly, and Yue Qingbai followed behind, acting as Li Li's translator.

The crown prince and Huang Zhengqian sat at the head of the room, like two wooden sculptures, with only one pair of eyes turning with the footsteps of the soldiers in the room.

The leading soldier pushed Li Li and Yue Qingbai away, and a dozen or so people swaggered around the room, looking at Li Yuhuang Zhengqian who was sitting expressionlessly, and at the wooden boxes stacked on the ground.

Finally, the leader pointed to the wooden box.

"Open!"

Li Li bowed and smiled, "They're all things that can't be sold, so you don't need to look at them, right?"

"Could it be that you're hiding something in here!" The leading soldier asked Li Li loudly, his eyes fixed on the wooden box.

Li Li deliberately didn't want to open the wooden box, just to let the soldiers lock their suspicions on the wooden box, so that they would not have the energy to pay attention to the overly dignified brother Huang and Huang Zhengqian.

"No, no!" Li Li pretended to be impatient and explained, "I don't have the guts to do so, all the officials can watch it if they want."

He opened the wooden box, sighed and said, "These porcelains and silks are not fashionable anymore, and they cannot be sold in this city-state. I don't know when the city gate will be opened, so we can go to the next city to try our luck."

The leading soldier used the handle of a knife to pick up a few pieces of fabric on the surface, and stirred suspiciously among the goods on the lower floor.

"Aiyo, the official is so proud of you." Li Li said with a sad face, "It will be even more difficult for us to sell our goods if you stir it up."

Afterwards, Li Li took out a string of money in a dignified manner, and handed it to the soldier, "Our caravan is safe all the way, thanks to the protection of the officials. This money is not a respect, but a tooth sacrifice for the brothers?"

The soldier's waist was bulging, and he had already collected a lot of money from other homes.

Li Li looked all the way down just now, and found that these small soldiers were actually easy to deal with. They were called interrogation, and they were actually just searching for some money from the merchants.

Xiaobing took his money and stuffed it into his waist in a smooth manner, but he still refused to leave.

Li Li's heart hung up again.

"Master?"

Xiaobing suddenly pointed to Li Yu and said, "I want the one in his hand."

Li Li looked over with that line of sight, and found that Xiao Bing was talking about the thumb spanner worn by the emperor's brother.

It was the jade wrench finger that Emperor Heng himself admired, and later he personally gave it to the prince, which is of great significance.

Li Li felt that the air around him was stagnant.

The finger is just a thing outside of the body, the best way to do it right now is to send out the finger to get rid of this group of soldiers first.

But this decision cannot be made by Li Li, and Li Li is not worthy of it.

In the end, before the crown prince said anything, Huang Zhengqian patted the table first and scolded: "Bold, a bunch of shameless savages!"

No matter what, Yue Qingbai dared not translate such curse words.

But Huang Zhengqian's frowning look, even a fool can see that it is not a good thing to say.

The soldiers pulled out their sabers in unison and pointed at everyone in the room. The sharp sound of the swords coming out of the sheath made people's teeth ache.

At this moment, Li Li's hatred for Huang Zhengqian surged up violently.

He is fast!It's almost done!

However, it was too late to regret at this moment, Li Li could only run his brain quickly, thinking about the opportunity to turn around.

When the sword was on the verge of breaking out, a gorgeous and loose voice pierced the silence of the room.

"The leader said he invited me to enjoy Hu Xuanwu, why did he come to the hotel again, could there be beauties here too?"

Immediately afterwards, Li Li saw a tall figure appearing at the door, his eyes met with that person's arms.

The man had sharp eyebrows and an extraordinary handsome appearance. He could clearly be seen as a Han Chinese, but his pupils were lighter than the Han Chinese—a bit like the night of the Milky Way, as bright as the stars.

When Li Li looked at him, the man also saw Li Li for the first time, a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes, then he sized Li Li from head to toe, then folded his hands on his chest, shook his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if He was amused by what he said just now.

Pick lightly.

Li Li looked away from the mixed-race man contemptuously.

"Guests, don't blame me. I just heard a strange sound and came up to take a look."

The speaker's voice is like a bell, and before the person arrives, the majestic aura has already overwhelmed him, and the sense of presence is extremely strong, which is the aura only available to those who have been in the top position for a long time.

The man spoke in the Rongdi language, which Li Li couldn't understand, and Yue Qingbai whispered the translation in his ear.

Yue Qingbai spoke incoherently, trembling slightly, as if he had already guessed who the owner of the voice was.

Li Li guessed it earlier than him, and he will never forget this voice, because not long ago, he waited for an opportunity to lurk beside this person, just to decapitate him and capture the king of thieves.

He thought about the person he wanted to kill day and night, but he became the last person he wanted to see at this moment.

With his hands behind his back, Xu Tu appeared at the door with the elite soldiers behind him. After greeting the mixed-race man apologetically, he looked at Li Li and the people behind him.

Xutu is a middle-aged man with a big beard. As the leader of Rongdi, he is not so tall and mighty, but rather thin and not tall.The black and yellow skin tanned by the sun highlighted his already conspicuous high cheekbones, and a pair of triangular eyes with folded and sunken eyelids covered the whites of his eyes, so that people could only see his bottomless black pupils.

He had long since lost sight of the desperate look that almost became the soul of Li Li's knife that day. He looked at Li Li like a vulture, hovering over a wounded and dying deer cub, just waiting for the deer cub to close its eyes. At that moment, feast on it.

For a moment, Li Li almost thought that the other party recognized him.

He quickly stabilized his figure and persuaded himself to calm down.

When Xu Tu was assassinated that day, his face was covered with blood, his facial features were already blurred, and between his body changes, Xu Tu couldn't see his face clearly at all.

Xu Tu should not know himself.

Moreover, Xu Tu probably didn't know the prince behind him, Huang Zhengqian, and Yue Qingbai, they had never confronted each other.

Thinking of this, Li Li's heart settled down a little. If it wasn't for the overly conspicuous mixed-race man who always smiled lightly and looked at him with probing eyes, which made him feel hairy all over, Li Li could feel more at ease. .

Since this person is a distinguished guest of Xutu, his status must be not simple. Although Li Li thought of this level, he had no time to take it into consideration.

The most important thing right now is undoubtedly to escape from Xu Tu's hands.

"The villain is guilty. I don't know that the king came here and disturbed the king's interest."

Li Li showed his fear appropriately, trembling like a timid dealer who is afraid of getting into trouble.

When he said the word "King", the crown prince and Huang Zhengqian could hear him behind him, and they must have confirmed that this person was "Xu Tu" who made them hate it so much.

The crown prince might be patient, but Huang Zhengqian usually wouldn't.

He probably knew that he was the one who lured the demon here for a jade finger, but Huang Zhengqian was surprisingly quiet when he saw Li Li so humble and servile.

Li Li hoped that Taifu Huang's mouth of fighting against the Confucianism would remain closed until the end.

Xu Tu said something, through Yue Qingbai, Li Li figured out that he was asking about their identities.

"We are Lan Chao's caravan, we are doing small business, and the young master behind him is my master." Li Li repeated what he had done with the soldiers just now.

Xu Tu seemed to believe it or not, he suddenly kicked away the soldier kneeling at his feet, and walked straight to Li Yu who was standing like a log.

Li Yu's throat rolled and he was short of breath.

Xu Tu glanced at him, then fixed his eyes on the jade wrench in the prince's hand, and rolled it down without any explanation.

Li Yu stretched out his hand subconsciously, froze for a moment, then retracted it again.

Xu Tu looked at the jade ring finger against the light, "Listen to what you said, you should be quite poor, why do you have such good things on your body?"

Li Li hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. My master was forced to do business. Originally, the family had a great business and had no worries about food and clothing. Unexpectedly, the master suddenly fell ill and died. The side of the house took advantage of my master's absence to plan a conspiracy. After losing the family property, this jade ring finger is the only valuable thing my master has."

Judging from Xu Tu's appearance, he was clearly weighing the truth of Li Li's words. Obviously, this rhetoric was not enough to dispel his doubts.

Li Li also explained in detail the origin, function, price, and profit of the goods in the wooden box. He looked like a philistine who was busy with his master.

When he bought the goods, he reconciled the account with the seller and remembered it immediately.

Li Li purposely spoke in such a way as to arouse Xu Tu's annoyance.

Sure enough, Xu Tu waved his hand to let Li Li stop talking. He threw the jade wrench on the table and walked back and forth in front of Li Li with his hands behind his back. Then he stopped and looked at Li Li occasionally.

In the end, Xutu stopped, picked up a box of rouge in the wooden box, and smiled with unknown emotion, "You are wrong, it is wartime, no one cares about applying rouge, the rouge you just mentioned The prices are still pre-war."

Li Li smiled, completely relieved that Xu Tu had already stepped into the loophole he had buried.

What he is playing at the moment is a merchant who sells outdated goods. His understanding of the situation of alien races is still a few years ago. It would be strange if he was right.

"I see. No wonder no one buys our high-quality rouge." Li Li pretended to realize suddenly.

"Even my king's beautiful wives and concubines have gray faces, which makes people not interested." Xu Tu said half-jokingly, took a box of rouge, and turned away.

Just when Li Li thought he had passed the customs, Xu Tu turned his head again and asked casually, "By the way, my soldiers haven't finished their investigation yet, so please check the customs clearance documents along the way for them."

Clearance documents?

Li Li suddenly raised his head.

However, Huang Zhengqian, as if he was facing a formidable enemy, hastily said: "The customs clearance document has been accidentally lost on the road."

There is no so-called clearance document at all, Xu Tu is deceiving them!

"Your Majesty, our housekeepers are confused. It was several years ago that we passed the customs documents. Now there are no restrictions between the various city-states, so we don't have any documents with us."

Li Li's hair stood on end, even though he explained immediately, the seeds of doubt had already been planted in Xu Tu's heart.

Mrs. Huang replied too thoughtlessly, too anxiously, and gave Xu Tu a signal——

These people are hiding something.

Xu Tu looked at them, and slowly pushed the knife out an inch with his hand on the scabbard, revealing a cold light, and the murderous aura could not be concealed.

Li Li also clenched the dagger hidden in his sleeve.

At this time, the honored guest in Nasutu's mouth, Li Li's eyes were a somewhat frivolous mixed-race man, who didn't seem to notice the tense atmosphere between the two parties at all, and was still expressing his opinion on Xutu's complaint about concubine Ji's lackluster makeup.

"My lord, in my opinion, those who need to be painted are not considered beauties, and beauties should be carved naturally," he said, pointing to Li Li, "Look, this is the beauty."

With just one sentence, the atmosphere in the room instantly became ambiguous.

Xutu's gleaming blade was not in the scabbard, and he laughed loudly, as if he felt extremely absurd about his distinguished guest's remarks, "Hahaha, the distinguished guest's words are really interesting, no matter how good-looking a man is, he can't compare to a woman."

It was the first time for Li Li to be made such a joke by a man he had never met before. He had heard stories about Long Yang's obsession, broken sleeves and divided peaches, but he never thought that one day he would personally experience being molested. The taste, the brain went blank.

Xutu lost interest in interrogating, "Dear guest, let's go see Orchid dancing."

A group of them all left the room.

However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, one of Xutu's guards went and returned.

This guard was acting as an interpreter between him and the mixed-race man just now. He skipped Li Li and conveyed the instructions of his leader, Xu Tu, to Prince Li Yu: "I heard that you want to go out of the city. If you are willing to send If your buddy stays here, my king will personally give you a warrant to leave the city, and you can answer after you think about it."
