Li Mobai went for three days before returning. He said that the emperor would stay in the palace for a month and hold several banquets this time. He also said that it was his elder brother Li Qiubai and Marshal Li who protected the emperor this time.
He admires his eldest brother the most, but this eldest brother is more than twenty years older than him. Just like his father, this trip will teach him a lesson.
"Isn't Marshal Li at the border?"
Li Mobai explained: "Because the emperor thinks that enthroning is a big deal, he only wants to choose people he trusts as bodyguards! And there are many soldiers guarding the border. Without the marshal, there will be no problem for a while."
Then Li Mobai talked about how grand the emperor's palace was, and all the government officials were very yearning for it.
Who doesn’t want to see the majesty of the Emperor!
After Li Mobai finished speaking, Yan Qi asked him: "What are you going to do about the brothel case?"
When Li Mobai heard this, his head began to hurt. He said distressedly: "An unsolved case, an unsolved case, we can only wait for those dancers to come back and interrogate them again."
"Come back? Where are they now?" Yan Qi asked curiously.
Li Mobai told her that he saw those dancing girls in the palace. Because their reputation was very loud in the Dongping area, they were chosen to dance at the banquet three days later.
"Twelve are missing two. They don't have time to rehearse the dance." Yan Qi was puzzled.
She always feels that this case is very strange!
In past cases, love, hate, and hatred were clear at a glance.
But now, although there are suspects in this case, it is still elusive!
But if it was as they suspected, why did Huai Sheng stay behind?
"The singer named Huaisheng didn't go?" Yan Qi asked.
"Of course not! He is too suspicious, I have already said hello! And this is a dance performance, not a song performance, so there is no need for him to go!"
When Yan Qi heard this, he felt even stranger.
These thirteen people are called the Thirteen Golds in Dongping County. Among them, the dancing girl can be replaced by someone, but Huai Sheng's position cannot be replaced by anyone.
Because his voice is the most precious thing among these thirteen people.
If it is a performance, preparations should start a month ago. But how did they know that Huaisheng couldn't go, so they just rehearsed the dance?
What made her most curious was that there were two less dancers. How would they dance?
Yan Qi told Li Mobai the strangeness of the incident.
But Li Mobai was not surprised at all.
"I have asked my brother to pay attention to these dancers. He will keep an eye on them personally at the banquet. As for the lack of people, Boss Yang found two dancers with superb dancing skills from nowhere. To them, this is nothing. Difficult matter."
When Li Mobai said this, Yan Qi immediately remembered the two foreign women he saw at the tea stall that day while talking to Matchmaker Zhang.
"Is Hu Ji pretty?" Yan Qi asked.
Li Mobai looked at her and smiled brightly: "They are not as good-looking as you. In my heart, you are the prettiest."
Yan Qi rolled her eyes. Ever since this guy said he liked her, he started to talk about love at every opportunity.
Yan Qi was really unable to resist.
"I'm leaving." She stood up and left.
Li Mobai immediately chased after him, chirping like a bee.
Yan Qi suddenly remembered a tribe very close to her previous home.
In the Baiyue Gobi, there is a small country with the wolf as its totem, known as Meiman.
The Meiman people were warlike. When she was five years old, the Meiman Kingdom ambitiously invaded the Central Plains, but was annihilated by the army led by Li Qiubai, who was General Li at the time.
Those Meiman soldiers who fled back passed by their village, completely ignoring that they were just civilians, burning, killing, looting, and looting the village. Then there was a severe famine. After her parents left, she left the tribe with food rations. When she was about to starve to death, she was rescued by her adoptive father, who was a soldier.
Her adoptive father was in poor health and took her back to Dongping after he was discharged from the army. He gave her food and clothing, taught her how to be a good person, and passed on the craft of widowmaking to her. The adoptive father was her benefactor.
"They are Meimanlang!"
"Everyone pities sheep, but who pities wolves? Weak sheep eat grass, and greedy wolves eat sheep. People pity sheep, but who pities grass? The wolf's heart is far away, who can understand the wolf's heart? Who does not eat, and what's the point of eating?"
Years later, Yan Qi still has lingering fears about the brutality and cruelty of the Mei barbarians.
I even remember the Meimanlang ballad clearly!
Li Mobai saw that she didn't look good and knew that she was remembering old things again, so he said, "Mei Man has been at peace for many years and is very active in paying tribute every year."
"It's just because I've been content for so many years that I need to pay more attention!"
After saying this, Yan Qi ignored Li Mobai and left.
She didn't believe that Mei Man would stay in peace forever. These two Hu Jis appeared at the wrong time, right when the emperor was enthroning him.
She was afraid that the purpose of these two people was to assassinate the emperor!
If something happens to the Emperor in Dongping Realm, that guy Li Mobai will be left with nothing to eat!
Yan Qi started packing her things as soon as she got home. She was going to the palace and tried to find a way to sneak in and figure it out.
It’s better to solve the doubts if they remain in your heart!
If it was as she suspected, it would be too late if something went wrong by then.
