Li Xin was speechless when he heard that Li Shui said he wanted to send her back: "Brother Huai, are you trying to entertain me? I spent so much effort to snatch her out and now I'm sending her back. What's going on? "
Li Shui sighed and said: "This person is in Shang Jun's Courtyard. Will the Mohists of Qi Chu give up? Those killers must be coming in a steady stream. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of being remembered. If this is done by I miss it so much that I have to keep one eye open even when I sleep."
Xiangli Zhu couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Li Shui's dejected look. Then he said with a smile: "Master Huai, it's easier to ask God than to send him away. Now if you let me go, I won't leave either."
"It's better to lure the killer to you than to Dr. Chunyu's house. If you want to send me away, I have to crawl back even if I crawl. If you don't believe it, you can try it."
Li Shui looked helpless and sighed repeatedly.
He pretended to be remorseful on the surface, but in fact he was already happy inside. He had already seen through Xiangli Zhu's character. Be competitive and unwilling to admit defeat.
If he forced her to stay here, she would definitely try her best to escape. If he keeps yelling to send her back, she won't leave.
As for the assassins, Li Shui had ten thousand ways to deal with them.
Li Xin said from the side: "Forget it, Brother Huai. Anyway, those assassins have identified you, so it's useless even if you send them back."
Li Xin said this not because he was cooperating with Li Shui's acting, but because he really didn't want to send people back.
Chun Yuyue was his sister-in-law after all. Snatching people out on the first day and sending them back the next day, isn't this playing Chunyu Yue? When Li Xin thought about the old man teaching him earnestly, he felt very angry.
Li Shui borrowed the donkey from the slope, nodded, and said, "That's all, let's stay here for the time being. But the ugly words are ahead. If anything happens to me here, it's better for the girl to leave as soon as possible."
Xiangli Zhu sneered and said nothing, as if he was determined to get here.
After a while, Xiang Lizhu suddenly asked curiously: "You just said that the assassin has identified this place. What do you mean? Why do the Mohists from Qi and Chu want to assassinate you?"
Huaiguzi said: "They thought you were here with me."
Xianglizhu was surprised: "Why?"
Huaiguzi said: "Because I am a banished immortal. I am a peerless expert who makes immortal wine, steams steamed buns, and polishes convex lenses. They may think that such ingenious things are yours, so they come to Shangjun to leave again and again. The hospital kills people."
Xianglizhu's eyes widened: "You make fairy wine? You steam steamed buns? You polish convex lenses? Are you lying to me?"
Li Xin said from the side: "Absolutely not, these are all the work of Brother Huai. Not only that, Brother Huai also invented the Daitian method and cured the sores on Master Fu Yao's back. Brother Huai is extremely talented, and there is no one like him today. Give your best."
Li Shui felt relieved after hearing this and couldn't help but think: "It's really comfortable to have a friend like Li Xin by your side to brag about from time to time."
Returning the favor, Li Shui also said: "Wherever, compared to Brother Li, I am still lacking. Brother Li cut off the head of the general in the formation of ten thousand troops, just like searching for something. Brother Li was really the god of war at that time."
Li Xin's eyes narrowed as he smiled.
Xianglizhu looked on coldly. After a moment, he shook his head firmly and said, "Impossible. Looking at your vulgar face and shameless words, how could you be that expert? What's more, you are too young and have not enough experience. That person at least All your hair and beard must be white."
Xiangli Zhu stared at Li Shui and said: "Master Huai, I hope you can be honest with me. Is there an expert behind you? Can you invite him to come out and meet me? I have many questions, and I only hope that he will be honest." Answer it for me, sir."
Li Shui was a little speechless and said: "There is no expert, only me. I am an immortal from heaven and come down to earth. Of course I am very talented. Is this strange? Why don't you believe me?"
Xianglizhu said: "That gentleman, does he live in Shangjun Villa?"
Li Shui said: "Yes, I have been living in Shangjun Villa."
Xiangli Zhu nodded: "Okay! Shangjun's courtyard is not big, I will be able to find him sooner or later."
Li Shui smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid of assassins?"
Xianglizhu said: "If that expert is really here, he should have a way to stop the assassin. Being with him is actually the safest."
Li Shui said with a smile: "Why don't you believe that I am that expert? Is there anything you don't understand? I can teach you."
Xiangli Zhu said calmly: "No need. You just listened to the master's words and picked up his wisdom. If you are really serious, please invite the master to come out and meet you."
Li Shui sighed and said to Xiangli Zhu, "Forget it, just do whatever you want."
Xiangli Zhu's face turned red with anger: "Bah, shameless person."
…………
Li Shui settled in Xiangli Zhu's residence and selected two strong aunts from among the craftsmen's households.
On the one hand, these two aunts are taking care of Xiangli Zhu, on the other hand, they are to prevent assassins from coming to harm others, and on the other hand, they are also to prevent Xiangli Zhu from regretting and running away.
After everything was arranged, Li Shui and Li Xin entered a small room.
Li Xin said: "Brother Huai, Shang Jun's courtyard is no longer safe. It is conceivable that there will be a steady stream of assassins coming in the future. What should we do? Why don't you take Xiangli Zhu into the palace and live in the alchemy room. Assassins No matter how brave you are, you can't enter the palace and assassinate, right?"
Li Shui smiled bitterly: "Then am I not under house arrest in disguise?"
Li Xin said: "Life is important, otherwise, what else can you do?"
Li Shui said: "There are always more solutions than problems. For example, we can divert the assassin's attention. Brother Li, can you call in an elite force? There doesn't need to be too many, just thirty or fifty people. I will need them for a few months. .”
Li Xin said: "With thirty or fifty people, it's not difficult. But... do you really have a way to deal with the assassins?"
Li Shui said with a smile: "Of course, of course, you will know tomorrow."
After the two discussed for a while, Li Xin yawned and went to bed.
Tonight, I have been busy all night, and I really should go to bed.
…………
The people in Shangjun's courtyard fell asleep, but the people in the palace did not.
Ying Zheng sat in the study, not feeling sleepy at all. He looked at the fire in the palace lantern and was deep in thought: "Today, I just arrived at Shangjun's Villa, and I met assassins at night. How did those assassins know that I was at Shangjun's Villa?"
"I took three thousand people out of the city without notifying anyone along the way. I was sitting in an ordinary carriage. Even if the people of Xianyang City saw it, they would not know that I was out. At most, they thought that the sergeants were being transferred."
"After three thousand people arrived at Shangjun Courtyard, none of them took a step out. Even the old farmers who paid back the cattle rent did not leave."
"So, the news of my arrival at Shangjun's Courtyard was leaked from the palace?"
"The only ones who know this news are me, Zhao Gao, and Ji Ming. Zhao Gao has always been by my side. He has no time to collude with assassins. But this Ji Ming..."
Ying Zheng suddenly felt unhappy when he thought of Ji Ming. He said to himself: "Not long ago, this person contacted Wang Li and helped the Wang family to find out about me. After the Wang family was destroyed, this person jumped up and down again, trying to contact other courtiers. When I didn't know ?"
"This man is really unwilling to be left alone. Could it be that... he contacted the rebels? Is it Xiang Liang?" Ying Zheng thought about Xiang Liang, and his eyes suddenly shrank.
At this moment, a coherent clue formed in his mind: Ji Ming fell out of favor because he falsely accused Huai Guzi. After falling out of favor, he took refuge with the Wang family. After being discovered by Ying Zheng, he was beaten with a cane many times. Ji Ming held a grudge and contacted Xiang Liang with the intention of rebelling.
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng shouted: "Send Ji Ming to come."
…………
At that time, Ji Ming was in Zhao Gao's room.
Zhao Gao held a high position and had his own mansion. But back then, he also lived in the palace for a period of time. Today Zhao Gao came back with his chariot and lived in the palace again.
How could Ji Ming let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? After the fall of the Wang family, he had been looking for backers everywhere. Now that I heard that Zhao Gao was coming, I immediately went to see Zhao Gao excitedly, holding some jewelry I had collected over the years.
Zhao Gao is not interested in Ji Ming's jewelry. But I am very interested in Ji Ming.
Zhao Gao is already the official of Zhongche Mansion, but he also needs an informant in the palace. Ji Ming served the emperor personally, and he had a panoramic view of the emperor's every move. If you get help from this person, it will be easier to control the emperor's mind.
So Zhao Gao welcomed Ji Ming in and accepted his gift.
Zhao Gao didn't like these gifts, but if he didn't accept them, Ji Ming might feel uneasy.
Zhao Gao chatted with Ji Ming for a few words and then sent him out. The two did not reach any agreement, and Zhao Gao did not make any promises to him. But Ji Ming knew that he was already a big tree like Zhao Gao on the list.
He came out of Zhao Gao's room happily, and then met a young eunuch who said that the emperor sent him to the study.
Ji Ming trotted into the study. When he reached the door, he knelt on the ground and walked forward on his knees.
This movement was created by Ji Mingxin. It shows respect for His Majesty and can ignore the problem of the left and right feet. very perfect.
When Ying Zheng saw him coming in like this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "What a flattering villain."
Ying Zheng remained calm and handed a bundle of bamboo slips to Ji Ming and said, "Send this to the executioner in the palace."
Ji Ming agreed, took the bamboo slips, and exited carefully.
He was very familiar with the executioner, because he had been beaten all the time recently and would run there at every turn.
After a while, Ji Ming saw the executioner.
When the man saw Ji Ming coming, he immediately sighed: "We're here again, why don't we just let him take a break?"
Ji Ming seemed to have guessed the thoughts of the executioner, he smiled and said: "Brother, don't panic, I am not here to receive the punishment with the stick today. I am here to deliver a letter. The emperor's handwriting."
The executioner hurriedly accepted it, then unfolded the bamboo slips. After looking at it for a while, he began to stare at Ji Ming with a strange expression.
Ji Ming asked: "What?"
The executioner said: "Your Majesty asked me to ask you, who are your accomplices?"
Ji Ming was stunned: "What kind of comrades? Where do I have any comrades?"
The executioner sighed: "I'm sorry, the handwriting says that if you deny it, you will be beaten to eighty first."
Ji Ming was about to cry but had no tears, and wanted to cry out for injustice, but after thinking about it, he finally sighed, lay down obediently, and said to the executioner: "Brother, I'm tired."
