There were still about ten days before the New Year, and Qiu Ruoruo finally had the idea of giving up because she had no clue, or maybe because she knew something.
All in all, after a busy day, Qiu Ruoruo was free. The Steppenwolf Court's mission once again became his target. According to her own words, she couldn't do anything poorly, as it would damage her Qiu Ruoruo's reputation.
When Qiu Ruoruo was free, Yu Zhi went back to Tiandao Mountain. Walking back and forth in one day made Yu Zhi a little tired. I am tired, and the doubts in my heart are getting deeper.
Just as he thought, Li Qingru let him stay in Kyoto safely. As for danger, it’s still the same four words - the brave have nothing to fear.
Yu Zhi muttered in his heart that his aunt just said these words to encourage morale. He really is a useless scholar.
Never dare to say this to your face.
Not getting any useful information and feeling unsure, Yu Zhi always felt like he was hanging in mid-air and about to fall down at any moment.
At this moment on Tiandao Mountain, there was a person sitting in Li Qingru's boudoir. He said he was sitting, but in fact he was lying lazily on the Taishi chair.
That was a man. How could a man be so unscrupulous in Li Qingru's boudoir?
Li Qingru walked into the room and closed the door, blocking out the raging wind and snow. She just glanced at the man sitting on the Taishi chair, feeling a little unhappy, and she was used to this discomfort.
"Someone tied him up." Li Qingru said.
The man listened as if he already knew everything. "Is this why you came back to me?" The man was a little dissatisfied, his face drooped, and his face revealed his unhappiness.
"I want you to go to Kyoto."
"what?"
"Protect him."
"Since he is already in Kyoto, no wonder someone kidnapped him. That incident offended many people, and those old immortals are still alive. As you get older, your mind becomes smaller, so you don't have to care so much." The man comforted. road. There is also a hint of rejection in the words.
Li Qingru took out a jade pendant from the cabinet. It was white in the shape of a crescent moon, and there were many small red lines under the white background. Experts who have encountered jade will definitely recognize that this is the finest phoenix blood white jade. The blood lines in it are not contaminated impurities, but the rumored phoenix blood.
"Give this to Yu Zhi. He has a marriage, and the jade pendant is the bride price. If he doesn't want this marriage, he has to come and tell him." Li Qingru handed the jade pendant to the man, and then took out an envelope from his sleeve. Letter, "This is the letter from that year, give it to him together. Yu Zhi will know after reading it."
The man did not reach out to pick it up. When he saw Li Qingru putting the jade pendant and the letter on the table, he seemed to understand what Li Qingru meant and said in surprise: "You plan to let that little guy stay in Kyoto? But, you should be aware of the dangers inside. It is known. Once his identity is known, his identity may have already been known."
Li Qingru stared at the man, a pair of firm eyes that seemed to say, you have to agree even if you agree, and you have to agree even if you don't agree.
The man was quite helpless and hurriedly called him back because of this matter, which made him even more helpless and sad. "You know I once threatened not to set foot in Kyoto in this life. This sentence is known to the world. So I can't help you with this matter."
Li Qingru moved a chair and sat down opposite the man. Compared with the man sitting casually, Li Qingru was very solemn and expressed solemnity about the following conversation. She placed her hands quietly on her legs and looked directly into the eyes of the man opposite her. "It's known to the whole world that you don't keep your word."
The man's fair face suddenly darkened. He put his feet where they should be, leaned forward, and placed his hands on the table with his fingers intertwined. "Sister, are you my biological sister?"
The man is Li Qingru's younger brother, his biological brother. They were only one breath apart before and after they were born, and then they became brother and sister. The resentful look in his eyes has always been too much for Li Qingru.
"Are you my brother?" Li Qingru asked. The man was clearly over forty, but he still looked young, just like he did more than ten years ago, as if his appearance had stayed forever. This is really the envy of many women.
"Of course it is." The man argued, "otherwise, how could I give up the girls in Yihong Mansion and wander around the world just for your nonsense. But..."
Li Qingru interrupted the man's complaint, "Yes, just be obedient and go to Kyoto to protect him."
boom!
The man knocked his head on the table, unwilling to do so, and every movement of his body expressed his reluctance.
"My life is so miserable!"
Ten days ago, he received a letter in a brothel in Nanzhou Prefecture. At that time, he was lying drunk in the gentle land. The man never imagined that someone could find him and deliver the letter to him.
Nanzhou Prefecture is located in the southernmost part of the Chu Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of miles away from Kyoto. The climate does not change often and is always so warm. The man likes the weather. If winter comes, he will run south and make plans to stay in Nanzhou Prefecture for a few more years. But a letter forced him to travel hundreds of thousands of miles back to Mount Tiandao near Kyoto.
The man didn't know how Li Qingru knew his whereabouts, or that Li Qingru had always known his whereabouts. Now that it was necessary, she sent a message to him.
Letters are also very simple - if you have any difficulties, please reply as soon as possible!
This is Li Qingru's style. He has read the books of sages from hundreds of schools of thought, but he is not as verbose as those old masters. This is one of the things that makes this man very special to Pei Mansion's own sister.
The man believed it. After all, Li Qingru never lied, and this was known to the world.
...
Li Qingru looked at the man's distressed look and said again: "Someone has to protect him, right?"
The man raised his head and nodded thoughtfully.
"Sister, since you let him go down the mountain and asked me to protect him, what is your plan?"
Li Qingru raised his eyebrows, his cold eyes full of disdain, "There is no plan. Just do whatever you want, you just need to protect him from death."
Simple and crude.
Men also like what Li Qingru does. In this way, he saved a lot of things.
"Remember, you give him the jade pendant and the letter."
"good."
Li Qingru smiled knowingly when she heard the man's answer. This person never agrees to others easily, but if he agrees, he will definitely fulfill his promise.
...
What Yu didn't know was that the aunt he had just met in the morning had arranged everything for him.
At night, Yu Zhi rarely ate a lot, as if he regarded every meal as his last.
"Qiuqiu, your grandfather really didn't say anything to you?" Yu Zhi asked reluctantly. Qiu Jinfeng refused to tell, Qiu An refused to tell, and even Li Qingru also hid it from him. Yu Zhi is a very insecure person. Therefore, he hid in Tiandao Mountain to this day because of a sentence he said in his sleep. The voice was just a few words, but it was warning Yu Zhi that he could not leave the Academy and Tiandao Mountain.
Qiu Ruoruo shook her head in confusion. Now she wanted to know more and more what Yu Zhi wanted to know.
"Grandpa said that the assassination case in Prince Zhao's Mansion can be understood, so that my father and I don't have to worry so much."
"That's it?" Yu Zhi didn't believe it, "Qiuqiu, how could you believe such nonsense?"
Qiu Ruoruo's face became even more confused and she said, "Why don't you believe it? How could grandpa harm me and dad? But Brother Xiaoyu, you are the one who often lies to me."
Yu Zhi touched his face, feeling a little embarrassed. "I want to let you know what the dangers of the world are. I thought that such a simple girl must be the target of those gangsters. It is better to lie to me than to be deceived by them."
What does it mean to be shameless?
Qiu Ruoruo has learned this lesson many times.
"Humph, Brother Xiaoyu is just full of lies."
Yu Zhi smiled and said, "Help me find those guys who kidnapped me."
Qiu Ruoruo stopped her chopsticks and looked at Yu Zhi, still puzzled. At first, Yu Zhi did not let Qiu Ruoruo pursue the investigation, but only identified Xiao Jinghong and Bai Li as the suspects. No matter who it is, without evidence, it can only be ignored. It's like Yu Zhi and others took off Bai Li's clothes and threw them in a small temple in the wilderness. Without evidence, there is still nothing they can do against Yu Zhi.
"I think those people are not unrelated to the assassination in Prince Zhao's Mansion. But you also saw that the old man refused to say anything, and Grandpa An also refused to say anything, which left me with a hanging heart and no place to rest." Yu Zhi said.
After meeting Li Qingru from Tiandao Mountain, Yu Zhi knew that he would stay in Kyoto for a while, or a long, long time. He didn't know what he would encounter next, but there were always many accidents in the world, and too many accidents would turn into harm.
"I always feel that something will happen." Yu Zhi murmured.
Qiu Ruoruo just responded: "Okay." She may not have felt the emotions in Yu Zhi's heart, but she knew that everything Qiu Jinfeng concealed should be very important to Yu Zhi.
"However, Brother Xiaoyu, you have to promise me something." Qiu Ruoruo showed a sly smile.
Seeing Qiu Ruoruo's appearance, Yu Zhi felt that Qiu Ruoruo's matter should be a difficult job. No matter what, I need help from others.
"explain."
Qiu Ruoruo smiled and said, "Go and meet the future husband chosen by my father for me."
"ah?"
"No, no, if I do this, your father will have to kill me."
Yu Zhi knew Qiu Ruoruo's small calculations very well, and he also knew Qiu Yu's big plans. He didn't want to ruin Qiu Yu's big plan.
"Just tell me whether you want to help or not?" Qiu Ruoruo glanced at her with a look that said she had to agree.
Yu Zhi scratched his head, pursed his lips in the direction of Ye Qinghuan, and said, "Qinghuan is more suitable. With his reputation and appearance, all the young men in Kyoto will feel ashamed after seeing him."
While speaking, Ye Qinghuan, who had been lowering his head to eat, paused and said, "Yes. I am ashamed of myself."
Ye Qinghuan can also be humorous?
The two suddenly burst into laughter.
Qiu Ruoruo knew that Ye Qinghuan was the most suitable candidate, but it also made people feel unreal.
Since he has such an outstanding son-in-law, why does Qiu Yu need to find another good one?
