Liu Mingzhi turned over and jumped off the horse, took off the dry tobacco bag from Song Qing that had not yet been returned from his waist, and skillfully loaded a pot of tobacco.
After lighting it with a fire stick, he slowly walked toward He Shu and the maid Li'er while puffing on clouds of smoke.
When Li'er was in Prince Zhao's Mansion, she boldly seduced her because of Li Tao's orders, so she still had some impression of Liu Mingzhi.
Later, when he left, he gave her a handwritten letter.
"How courageous are you? Two weak women dare to block you in the middle of the official road, and they are not afraid of encountering bandits and bandits who will kidnap you. How many days have you been waiting?"
"Five days... The Aijia don't have time to say these useless words to you. Where is Tao'er?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at He Shu staring at him questioningly, and blew a smoke ring into the air in a nonchalant manner.
"Are you asking for advice? Concubine He!"
"you........."
He Shu looked at Liu Mingzhi's casual attitude, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and waved to the maid beside him.
"Li'er, you go and wait aside."
"Empress?"
"If he has evil intentions, what difference does it make if you are here or not? Be obedient and wait aside!"
The maid Li'er hesitated for a moment, silently looked at Young Master Liu who had been dishonest to her in Prince Zhao's Mansion, and bowed down to give him a blessing.
"Yes, slave, I obey."
Li'er turned her head three times and walked towards the big tree on the right side of the official road. He Shu hurriedly took two steps towards Liu Mingzhi, looking at Liu Mingzhi with pleading eyes.
"Brother-in-law, Yijia begs you, please tell me quickly, how is my son? Did you... put him..."
Liu Mingzhi looked at He Shu who put down his airs and begged him, took a strong drag on the pipe, and then raised his foot to knock out the ash inside.
He glanced deeply at He Shu, who looked anxious.
"I was just thinking about how to eliminate the root cause and avoid future troubles. Now it's all right. You came to my door yourself.
It's all right now. Save me, this young master will send people to all corners of the world to find your whereabouts. "
Hearing Liu Mingzhi's calm and cold words, He Shu trembled suddenly, staggered back a few steps with a look of disbelief in his eyes, and his back happened to be pressed against the wheels of the carriage.
With her right hand tremblingly on the carriage to support her weak body, He Shufeng's eyes suddenly condensed with mist of sadness.
The eight characters of eradicating the roots and never causing future troubles kept lingering in my mind.
"Kill Tao'er...Kill!"
"What do you think? Should I keep him to restore the Li family and rebel against me in the future? It seems natural to eradicate the roots after the change of dynasty..."
While Liu Mingzhi was still talking, He Shu, a woman who had always been delicate and gentle, used all her strength to rush towards Liu Mingzhi, reaching out to pull out the Heavenly Sword worn by Liu Mingzhi at his waist.
"You are an executioner who kills without blinking an eye. The Ai family has fought with you, but you will give my son his life!"
Liu Mingzhi was also startled by He Shu's crazy behavior and hurriedly stepped back, leaving He Shu's idea of drawing his sword in vain.
"Fuck, are you crazy?"
He Shu was heartbroken and continued to snatch Liu Mingzhi's weapon. Apparently, he was so stimulated by Liu Mingzhi's words that he lost his mind.
"Give my son his life!"
Liu Mingzhi raised his head and grabbed He Shu's wrist: "I am joking with you, but Li Tao is fine."
But just by grabbing He Shu's wrist, he still couldn't stop her from struggling: "Give my son his life!"
"Wake up!"
Liu Mingzhi's inner-powerful voice shouted coldly, shocking He Shu severely.
His eyes regained some calmness, and He Shu stared at Liu Mingzhi's deep expression with tears streaming down his face.
"You killed my son! You killed my son!"
"Listen to me, I just lied to you. There is nothing wrong with your son..."
"Get out of the way of the people in front of you. What are you trying to do by blocking me on the official road?"
Liu Mingzhi was about to explain to He Shu when a cautious and surprised inquiry came from behind him. He subconsciously turned around and saw a caravan of more than 200 people on the official road had stopped fifty or sixty steps away. .
It was the guards of the caravan who were shouting. At this moment, the two guards had their swords unsheathed, and they were walking slowly towards this side in a posture, while carefully looking at the surrounding environment, obviously worried about the ambush of bandits and bandits around them.
After all, a carriage appeared on the official road, and a man and a woman were arguing about something. It was really weird.
Worried that it might be a trick of bandits, the two guards did not dare to let down their guard at all.
Liu Mingzhi grasped He Shu's wrists tightly with his big hands, turned around and nodded with a smile to the two guards.
"Brothers, don't worry. I'm going to have a small dispute with my family. We'll get out of the way right away. Get out of the way right away."
The two guards didn't know whether what Liu Mingzhi said was true or not. Instead of letting their guard down, they tightened the weapons in their hands.
Liu Mingzhi guessed what they were thinking from their expressions, smiled apologetically again, and pulled the struggling He Shu toward the carriage a few steps away.
He raised his hand to touch He Shu's acupuncture points, and with a little force, he forced He Shu into the carriage.
Worried that He Shu would repeat his old tricks, he took off his Heavenly Sword and placed it across his lap. He pulled the reins of the horse, turned around and headed towards the left side of the road.
Liu Mingzhi whistled, and his horse Fengxing, who was leisurely eating weeds on both sides of the road, also sneezed and consciously ran slowly behind the carriage.
Trotting behind the carriage was Li'er, who was enjoying the shade under a tree.
The two guards looked at the carriage that stopped at the fork in the road, then breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and trotted towards the caravan behind them.
"Li'er, help me put the horse down!"
"Your Majesty, you..."
"Girl, this young master will not do anything to the concubine!"
"I am........"
Li'er looked at Liu Mingzhi's chuckle, bit her red lips and left the carriage again.
Seeing the caravan guards suspiciously protecting the caravan as they quickly left the official road, Liu Mingzhi leaned over and got into the carriage.
Seeing He Shu who was slumped in the carriage unable to move, looking extremely panicked because he got into the carriage, Liu Mingzhi sat cross-legged opposite He Shu.
"Toffee...forget it, I'll just call you second sister-in-law.
Second sister-in-law, Li Tao is fine. He is safe and sound in the clan's mansion. I haven't touched a hair on his face. I've untied your acupuncture points. I hope you can calm down. "
Liu Mingzhi pointed a finger, and He Shu, who couldn't move, immediately got up. Looking at Liu Mingzhi sitting cross-legged in front of the carriage door, he grabbed the skirt of his chest and shrank deeper into the carriage.
Liu Mingzhi rolled his eyes helplessly.
"I really want to do something to you, why do I need to relieve you? If I do it directly, you have no power to resist."
He Shu huddled tightly in the corner of the carriage, staring at Liu Mingzhi cautiously.
"If you were truly a gentleman, how could you have used your feet in Tao'er's house... Bah... thief!
And it was in vain that I believed you, a hypocrite. If Tao'er hadn't told Aijia, Aijia would have really thought you were a hero who saved me from trouble. I didn't expect that everything was just a drama directed and acted by you.
You're a hypocrite with a human face and a beastly heart! "
Liu Mingzhi's face froze, and he naturally understood what He Shu's words meant. He scratched his eyebrows in embarrassment. He really made a mistake when he kidnapped He Shu into the capital.
"You have tarnished the innocence of the Ai family first, and then killed the only son of the Ai family.
The Ai family won’t let you go even if they act like ghosts! "
"Conscience of heaven and earth, when will this young master defile..."
Liu Mingzhi hammered the carriage helplessly: "Well, I can't explain it clearly. You won't believe it if I say I didn't do anything.
I'm too lazy to waste my time explaining.
Let’s talk about Li Tao! I just told you that Li Tao is not dead, nor was he harmed. He is staying at the Zongren Mansion! "
He Shu suddenly sat up and said, "You lied to me. The Ai family wrote to my mother's family and asked them to go to the Zongren Mansion to see it. Tao'er is not being held in the Zongren Mansion at all!"
Liu Mingzhi's eyes narrowed, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
"He Shaoqing's information is quite good!"
The He Shaoqing mentioned by Liu Mingzhi is none other than He Shu's father, the current Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, He Zhengyun, a veteran of three dynasties whose father is more important than his daughter.
"What on earth did you do to Tao'er? Liu Mingzhi, if you were a man, you would be more daring!"
Liu Mingzhi gently tapped the blade of the Heavenly Sword with his fingers, looking at He Shu calmly and thoughtfully.
"Li Tao is not in any danger now, I can guarantee you this.
But whether he will be safe and sound in the future is not up to me!
In him and in you! "
The implication of Liu Mingzhi's words was naturally that Li Tao would stay in the clan house honestly and not make any small moves to restore the Li family. He also hoped that He Shu could persuade her to calm down.
But in He Shu's ears, it had a different meaning.
In him and in you!
Coupled with the somewhat profound look in Young Master Liu's eyes, He Shubei clenched his teeth and couldn't help but tremble.
There was silence in the carriage for a long time.
In Liu Mingzhi's stunned eyes, the phoenix-patterned jade belt fell off his waist, the silk spruce slipped quietly, and a flawless jade body leaned towards him.
"You...what are you doing? This young master is a gentleman...jun...gudu...
This... This young master has been away from home for more than ten days and has not been around women. Don't be too...excessive...
You asked for it, so you can't blame me! "
At the fork in the road, Li'er held the braided straw ball and sent it towards Feng Xing's horse's mouth.
Uncensored, she looked at the dancing carriage more than fifty steps away, her eyes full of worry and confusion.
Your Majesty, she won’t fight with the prince!
What should I do?
