"It's my grandson-in-law Li Xiao. Let's just say, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't have thought of this method."
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised, and his eyes fell on the paper in his hand again.
It not only contains solutions to floods, but also solutions to droughts.
In ancient times, these two disasters were the most worrying.
There were three years of drought and three years of floods, and the fields were confiscated for six consecutive years.
Once disasters occur for consecutive years, the imperial court must provide disaster relief everywhere, otherwise the people will not be able to survive.
For example, the drought that occurred last year only lasted a year and a half before the people could no longer stand it and fled in droves. Once a disaster does occur for a few years, there will be a large-scale exodus, with corpses strewn in the fields and people dying of hunger thousands of miles away.
Here, in addition to droughts and floods, there are also solutions to problems such as locust plagues, rat infestations, and plagues.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it and saw that the solution to the plague was written on it:
There is an invisible dust in the air, and the spread of the plague is caused by breathing in the dust.
Therefore, special cotton cloth should be used to make a 'mouth mask' to prevent harmful dust from being inhaled into the body during breathing.
In addition, the area should be divided immediately and people who have been in contact with the patient should be kept under observation to prevent the spread of the plague and control the plague in a small area.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again.
Another method that has never been done before, never heard of before.
There seems to be some truth, because it is not clear how the plague spreads, and everyone compares the plague to heaven's punishment.
But Zhu Yuanzhang does not believe in God, so this spread of dust does make some sense.
In the past, when the imperial court controlled plague, if it could not prevent the spread of the plague, it could only kill all the people and animals in the villages more than ten miles away from the place where the plague occurred.
Although it is unbearable and cruel, it is also a helpless move.
If this method was effective, there would be no need to use such cruel methods.
This piece of paper will be of great use to Ming Dynasty!
"This... belongs to me."
Zhu Yuanzhang carefully folded the paper and stuffed it into his chest.
Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's displeased look, Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "What? You don't seem to be willing?"
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "I am willing, I am very willing. In fact, I originally planned to dedicate it to my grandfather. After all, these disaster management techniques can only be used by your imperial grandfather."
"You lied to me."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt much happier and said with a smile: "You kid, you obviously want to use these to show off in front of everyone."
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly handed over his hands: "Grandson."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said: "Forget it, this time I think you have merit, and the merits and demerits are equal, so I won't argue with you, go away."
Zhu Gaoxu bowed and said, "Grandfather, this place stinks. You go first. My grandson will see you off."
Zhu Yuanzhang: "."
That's it.
After the lecture, Zhu Yuanzhang sent the princes and grandsons away, while he took the paper Li Xiao wrote down the problem plan and went to the imperial study room to study alone.
Zhu Yuanzhang studied extremely carefully and made reference to the records of disasters in various dynasties and generations.
As for Zhu Gaoxu, on the way back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
I'm sure I won't get into trouble again.
It's over. My father warned me repeatedly before going out, but this is the result.
"Second brother, you went to the toilet just now. Grandpa Huang left shortly after. Did he go to find you?"
In the carriage, Zhu Gaochi looked at his second brother and asked.
"I'm in a very confused mood right now and I don't want to answer this question."
Zhu Gaoxu looked worried.
I guess the second brother got into trouble again. Hey, it's all my fault that I, the eldest brother, didn't keep an eye on him.
Zhu Gaochi reminded: "Second brother, admit your mistakes when you go back. Don't be stubborn. Dad has been in a bad mood recently. I'm afraid he will beat you to death. Then I won't have a second brother."
Zhu Gaosui: "Yes, second brother, don't be so stubborn. Just admit your mistakes when you should. If dad really beats you to death, don't worry. I will give you some paper money every year to make you a rich man."
Zhu Gaochi: "Third brother, if you don't speak, I almost forgot about you. It turns out you are always here. I thought you skipped class."
Zhu Gaoxu: "."
This time, Zhu Gaoxu became even more depressed.
Returned to Prince Yan's residence.
Zhu Di sat in the main hall, waiting for his sons to come back and report the situation.
Once home.
Zhu Gaoxu walked directly to Zhu Di and knelt down on the ground: "Dad, the child is wrong."
As soon as he heard this sentence, Zhu Di immediately became furious and started to whip his belt. While doing so, he cursed and said, "I know that you kid is always going to cause trouble."
Saying this, he took the whip to whip.
"Dad, please spare my second brother, he is sincere in admitting his mistake this time."
Zhu Gaochi was kind-hearted and couldn't bear the punishment of his second brother, so he immediately hugged Zhu Di.
After all, with Zhu Di's strength, it would definitely hurt to pull it off with one belt.
"Don't stop me, I'll beat this bastard to death."
Zhu Di originally liked Zhu Gaojiu quite a lot, but this time when he came to Beijing, Zhu Gaojiu caused trouble everywhere. It was true as the princess said, the prince Gaochi seemed cowardly, but was steady and composed.
"Dad, please spare my second brother, please."
Zhu Gaochi hugged Zhu Di's thigh.
"Hmph, I can't forgive you. Gao Chi, please tell me what good things this kid has done."
Zhu Di slapped the belt on the table and sat down.
Zhu Gaochi could only say truthfully: "Second brother. Second brother fell asleep during the lecture."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di was stunned. He did ask Zhu Gaoxu to stop talking, but this kid fell asleep directly. What a miscalculation.
Zhu Gaosui added: "The second brother not only fell asleep, but also snored. He also became a stepping stone for Zhu Yunwen, allowing Zhu Yunwen to show off in front of the emperor's grandfather."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the third child and said, "Third brother, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
"Shut up."
Zhu Di's face became even more livid, and he looked at Zhu Gaosui, "Third brother, do you have anything else?"
After all, the boss has reservations about what he says, and the third child is his intelligence officer.
Zhu Gaojiu looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't take your anger out on me. Everyone has seen these things, and you can't hide them. Confess the matter earlier, so that dad will know clearly, so that he can prepare in advance. Isn't it a one-step strategy? We can't ruin our father's big event."
Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, this is the truth.
Don't miss out on your father's important event just because you are afraid of being punished.
After all, it has happened, and we have to find a way to remedy it.
At this time, Zhu Gaosui looked at Zhu Di and continued: "Dad, it was the imperial grandfather who asked the questions later. The first question was about drought relief methods. Let everyone answer. The second brother said he wanted to go to the toilet, and he would go back after he came back from going to the toilet. A beautiful answer that shocked even the emperor’s grandfather!”
"Oh? Gao Xu still has this ability?"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "Third brother, please tell me the answer."
"Yes, Dad."
Next, Zhu Gaosui explained the answer in detail.
I have to say that Zhu Gaosui's memory is really good. After only listening to it once, he could tell it all without missing a word.
After listening.
Zhu Di was shocked.
Seems very reasonable.
The approach is also very simple. Focus on prevention and control. It is forbidden to cut down trees on both sides of the river and plant trees to reduce the risk of floods.
"Gao Xu, is this really your idea?"
Zhu Di frowned, looking unbelieving.
Before Gao Xu could answer, Zhu Gaosui said: "Of course it's not what the second brother thought. Why did the second brother go to the toilet before answering the question? There must be a reason for this. I guess he should have prepared the answer in advance, but he didn't remember it. So I went to the Maokeng to endorse it."
Zhu Gaoxu: "You"
This method of escaping urine and feces was exclusively used by Zhu Gaosui. He would never believe that his second brother had really gone to the toilet.
"No, no, no, I'm asking you, is that right?"
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu with a cold face.
Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to nod truthfully.
At this time, Zhu Gaosui continued: "That's it. After the emperor was greatly surprised, he asked another question, but the second brother was stupid. He didn't know the reason why the same moves cannot be used continuously, so he excused himself to go to the toilet. The emperor's grandfather was confused and followed him, but the child didn't know what happened next. However, the child guessed that he was caught by the emperor's grandfather, because the lecture ended immediately, and Long Yan must have been furious. "
After listening.
Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaoxu and asked, "Is that so?"
Zhu Gaoxu nodded, then shook his head: "That's probably true, but the emperor's grandfather was not as angry as Long Yan."
After saying that, he lay down on the ground: "My child knows that I am wrong. My child knows that I am wrong. I beg my father to punish me."
Zhu Di stretched out his hand and said, "Bring your paper recording the method to me and show it to me."
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned: "That piece of paper was taken away by the emperor's grandfather."
Zhu Di frowned: "Besides the methods for preventing and controlling floods, what else is there?"
Zhu Gaoxu said: "There are also droughts, rats, locusts, and plagues."
Zhu Di was shocked and said: "Where did you come from?"
"this"
Zhu Gaoxu knelt on the ground again: "It was given by my brother-in-law. Last time I wrote a letter and asked my brother-in-law many questions, and he replied to me. Dad, I was wrong. Will this bring trouble to my brother-in-law? I really didn't mean it. of."
It was the trick given by Li Xiao.
Zhu Di's mind wandered, and he quickly figured out the pros and cons of the district, and was immediately overjoyed.
He laughed and said: "Gao Xu, get up, stop kneeling."
ah? ? ?
Not knowing it was Zhu Gaoxu, even Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui were shocked.
Zhu Gaoxu said in surprise: "Dad, can I get up?"
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Get up, this time you made no mistakes and made great achievements!"
"Have you made great achievements?"
Zhu Gaoxu bounced up with a flutter and said: "Dad, my child has really made a great contribution??"
Zhu Di nodded: "Yes, it has made a great contribution. If the method you just mentioned was invented by Li Xiao, it has made a great contribution. Do you know why?"
The three of them shook their heads, expressing their ignorance.
Zhu Di said: "Now the odds of winning between me and Zhu Yunwen are half and half. This is why it is difficult for the emperor to make a decision. He has not made up his mind for a long time. The scale is flat, and Li Xiao's joining can tilt the balance towards me." Lean this way!”
Zhu Gaoxu asked in confusion: "Why?"
Zhu Di smiled and said: "What do you want to rule the world?"
Zhu Gaochi's eyes lit up: "A minister who wants to rule the world!"
"That's right!"
Zhu Di said happily: "The method written by Li Xiao is the method of governing the world, and he is the minister who governs the world! Now that the Holy Emperor is considering the position of crown prince, he will count Li Xiao on my side, hahaha! "
Zhu Gaoxu said: "So, I have great merit!"
Zhu Di nodded and said: "Yes, you have done a great job. How could you write a letter to your brother-in-law and ask those questions?"
Zhu Gaoxu explained with a smile: "During this period, I have made good friends with my eldest brother everywhere, and we discussed all important matters of the family and the country. I thought that if the emperor's grandfather wanted to ask questions, the child would be able to show off, so I secretly took notes next to him. Next, write a letter to your brother-in-law."
"Okay, you can be considered as helping my father by mistake."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "These questions are just right. They are not political, just pragmatic questions. The most important thing is the way to dedicate it to the Holy One! Your way is great!"
Zhu Gaoxu became more and more happy, "Dad, where are you?"
Zhu Di said: "If you presented it directly, it would inevitably make His Majesty feel that you were overjoyed, but you were caught on the spot and presented to the Holy One in such an unexpected way, which dispelled the doubts in this regard and made the Holy One understand. Li Xiao’s ability!!”
After saying that, everyone looked happy.
Under the circumstances, there is still such a good thing! ! It’s so unpredictable!
Zhu Di said with emotion: "Well, during this period, everyone is performing their duties and waiting for the balance of victory to tilt towards us. The Holy Emperor will definitely pay close attention to Li Xiao. My good son-in-law is the key to my victory!" !”
"Yes!" The three of them handed over their hands happily.
actually.
Zhu Di had one more sentence that he kept in his heart but didn't say it out.
If he wins, Li Xiao will be a capable minister in governing the world.
If he loses.
Then Li Xiao has become a hero in troubled times, and I'm afraid he will be eliminated by the Holy One.
Forget it, take one step at a time, the outcome is uncertain, everything is still unknown!
Moreover, Zhu Di felt.
This time my chance of winning has reached 80%! !
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
These days, in addition to handling government affairs, Zhu Yuanzhang went to court normally.
The rest of the time, he spent his time in the imperial study room, studying Li Xiao's various solutions to the disaster, and revising them again into methods more suitable for the current court.
After a period of time, these methods can be implemented and the results verified.
At this time, a eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guards sent Erhu to ask for an audience."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Let him come in."
Erhu had been following Zhu Yuanzhang since the late Yuan Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang also betrothed his adopted sister to Erhu.
The identity of Erhu is an existence that everyone is horrified to hear.
But he always keeps to himself and never crosses the red line.
He is the most trusted person by Zhu Yuanzhang, no one.
"See Your Majesty, please bow to me." Erhu walked in and held his hands.
"I am safe."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved and said with a smile: "Erhu, tell me quickly, how is my grandson-in-law Li Xiao doing in Peiping now? Is the cloth from his cloth shop really sold so cheaply?"
Since the last time I saw the promotion in the newspaper.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always been worried about this matter and kept it in his heart.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was a child, he herded cattle for the landlord's family. The whole family worked as tenants and had no food to eat all year round, so he embarked on the path of rebellion.
There are two types of people he is most cruel to, one is corrupt officials and the other is profiteers.
Corrupt officials are greedy and have no regard for the life or death of the people.
Profiteers are also abominable. Businessmen do business for profit and squeeze the people to death.
In the event of a famine, they would not be able to starve to death, and the food they saved could fill their granaries, but the poor could only flee the famine.
These two types of people exploit the common people the most.
The main culprit that causes people to have no food to eat! !
But there is no way. There must be officials to govern the world and businessmen to regulate it.
But after reading in the newspaper, I saw that Li Xiao was selling cheap cloth for thirty cents a piece.
Zhu Yuanzhang became interested immediately.
If this is really the case, then he is not a profiteer, but a good businessman.
Cloth is a necessity. People can save more than a hundred copper coins by buying a piece of cloth.
They save money to buy food and save it, or add meat to their dishes, or buy a few new clothes every year.
Erhu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I have conducted a detailed investigation and the situation is true. Li's cloth shop is opened by Li Xiao. He is definitely not showing off. The cloth shop is overcrowded every day, and thousands of pieces of cloth are sold every day." No matter how prosperous the business is, the price will not increase. The people all praise it, saying that a good businessman has appeared in Peiping, a good businessman that benefits the people!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned at first, and then overjoyed.
"Okay, good business is good."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of smiles, "Yes, I like this kind of businessman. Make less money. Small profits but quick turnover will benefit the people. This is a good thing!"
"Huh"
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly felt something was wrong and asked: "Can this thirty-cent piece of cloth really make money?"
"I have also inquired about this."
Erhu continued: "I secretly sent people to visit more than a dozen cloth shops. Every cloth shop said that weaving cloth according to the quality of Li's Cloth Shop would cost at least thirty-five cents per piece. It would be impossible to make money. "
Zhu Yuanzhang wondered: "This is strange. Could it be that Li Xiao lost money and made a profit?"
"That's not the case. That's the most important thing."
Erhu said: "Other cloth shops cost thirty-five cents, but Li Xiao's cost is only fifteen cents. In other words, Li Xiao can still earn fifteen cents for every piece of cloth sold."
What!
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up in surprise.
Surprised: "How did Li Xiao do it? Keep the cost so low??"
Erhu said: "I have heard that Li Xiao has developed a new type of textile machine. The efficiency of this textile machine is seven or eight times that of ordinary textile machines on the market!"
"That's it, that's it."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized that he was not losing money to make money, but keeping costs down.
"This Li Xiao first had the method of making salt, and now he has a new type of textile machine, and he also has many methods to control disasters. The capable minister of the world has appeared in the Ming Dynasty!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes sparkled. Although he had never met him, his favorable impression of Li Xiao increased several times. At the same time, the balance of victory has begun to tilt towards Zhu Di.
Now when considering the position of crown prince, Li Xiao has become a bargaining chip and placed on Zhu Di's side.
"The most important thing is that this guy is not a profiteer!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was most delighted about this and said with a smile: "If an ordinary businessman develops this kind of loom and reduces the cost to fifteen cents, he will definitely not reduce the price so much. He only needs to lower the price a little to make a big difference." If he sells well, he will earn more money!! He adopts the method of small profits but quick turnover to benefit the people and benefit the people!!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was so excited!
He stood up and walked around the imperial study with his hands behind his hands, the corners of his mouth raised.
"correct."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something and asked: "If he sells like this, other businessmen can't do business. What's the reaction?"
Erhu said: "Li Xiao is extremely well-organized. With his status, other businessmen would not dare to resist. But Li Xiao personally said that he would not use his power to deal with them and let them compete fairly with him. Subsequently, Quan Beiping's The cloth merchants banded together and began to think of ways. They thought of many methods, but Li Xiao could easily crack them. Especially the last trick, which directly caused all the cloth merchants to go bankrupt."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What trick?"
Erhu said: "Li Xiao has launched a new piece of cloth, priced at 50 cents. The quality of this cloth is 50% better and is very popular. Then this new cloth will be sold at a limited time discount of 40 cents, which is only available for three days. . These merchants have studied and found that the quality of this cloth requires at least forty coins, which is equal to the cost price. So, all the merchants in Beiping united, put funds on it, and secretly sent people to buy it all."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "These merchants are thinking that if the cloth bought for 40 yuan is discounted to the cost price, they will buy it and then sell it themselves to squeeze Li Xiao, right?"
"Your Majesty's guess is correct."
Erhu said: "But these merchants didn't expect that this high-quality cloth actually costs fifteen cents. It was Li Xiao who improved the technology and once again improved the efficiency of the loom.
After these merchants bought it back, Li's Clothing Company directly announced that the old goods, which originally cost thirty cents a piece, would be withdrawn from the market.
This new piece of cloth replaces the old product and will be sold forever. The price is thirty cents per piece and the price will never increase!
In addition, it was published in the newspaper that some fake and shoddy goods from Li's Cloth Factory have been on the market recently, so that everyone should keep their eyes peeled and buy from Li's Cloth Factory. "
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Then all the goods of these merchants will be lost."
Erhu said: "That's right, I've got it all in my hands. I can't sell it even if the price is reduced."
Zhu Yuanzhang praised: "What a move to remove the firepower. Even the merchants in the city can't beat Li Xiao. The key is that Li Xiao is still a good businessman. Good! Great!"
Erhu said: "Li Xiao did not kill them all. There were many people under those cloth dealers who were looking for a living, so a situation of cooperation and franchising was formed. I did not check the specific cooperation methods in detail, but now the prices of cloth dealers in the entire Peiping are all After the decline, the original main industries of the cloth industry have become high-end cloth, which means making money for the rich but not the money for the poor."
"What a person who robs the rich and gives to the poor. This is the first time I have seen this method of robbing the rich and giving to the poor. It is really satisfying!" Zhu Yuanzhang was in a very good mood.
"By the way, Erhu." Zhu Yuanzhang then asked: "How is the establishment of Nashe District established by Li Xiao?"
"Ten dormitories have been established."
Erhu explained: "But now it seems that the Yamen still provide money. Li Xiao has begun to let the people in the community accept the management of the villagers in the villages below. The effect is quite good, but I just don't know where the huge expenditure comes from."
"I think Li Xiao must have something to do."
Zhu Yuanzhang also couldn't figure it out. After seeing Li Xiao's methods, he felt that Li Xiao was not a reckless person and should have his own solution.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang became very looking forward to it.
He wanted to see how this grandson-in-law could solve the deepest governance problems.
If this could be solved, the imperial court would be able to bypass the problems of landlords and squires and issue orders directly from top to bottom! !
"Okay, this son-in-law is not only a good businessman, but he is also known as Mr. Qingtian in Dong'an County! He obviously has power, but he does not use it. Instead, he competes with businessmen in a businessman's way."
Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more satisfied with his grandson-in-law and even wanted to meet him.
"Erhu, continue to pay attention to Li Xiao and report every move to me!"
"I obey the decree!"
Erhu retreated.
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted excitedly and sat at the table.
A piece of paper was spread out, one on the left and one on the right. The names Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di were written on it, and various pros and cons were written on the bottom, like a scale.
Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote.
Under Zhu Di's name, he added: Li Xiao, son-in-law of King Yan, a capable minister in governing the world.
Looking at the writing on it, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, and Nan Nan said to herself:
"Fourth, Fourth, we were really hesitant at first, but now that you have a son-in-law like this, we have to consider you more."
The capital, the residence of Prince Yan.
During this time, King Yan and others were in a good mood.
It can be clearly seen that not only has the Holy Spirit been in a good mood these past few days, but his attitude towards them is also better than before.
The Holy One only needs to reveal a little bit of happiness, anger, sorrow and joy, and the ministers below will spend a long time guessing the Holy intention.
Soon, they discovered that King Yan Zhu Di seemed to be favored by the Holy Emperor recently.
As a result, more and more people like Zhu Di are getting closer.
The three sons of King Yan's family are also happy.
But when people are happy, things tend to happen.
No, the crown prince, Zhu Gaochi, is extremely happy and sad.
Zhu Gaochi is in a very good mood these days.
So I indulged myself a little, ate and drank so much that my body became ill.
"Oh, Dad, you hurt me so much that I would rather die than live."
At this time, Zhu Gaochi was lying on the bed, screaming in pain, unable to eat, and his stomach was as hard as a stone.
The doctor who came to see the doctor prescribed a variety of medicines, but drinking them did not help.
Zhu Di was also anxious, worried about Zhu Gaochi, and even called the palace doctor to see what was wrong.
"Brother, I told you not to eat so much on weekdays. You are fine now. You must suffer." Zhu Gaoxu said while rubbing Zhu Gaochi's belly.
"Hey, second brother, please stop making sarcastic remarks. It's too late now. Why didn't you stop me when I was eating." Zhu Gaochi said with a grin.
"I can't stop you from eating." Zhu Gaoxu spread his hands.
Zhu Di frowned, feeling that he would not be a twelve-year-old if he continued like this, and said: "Now I can only let Li Xiao come and take a look at you. He is a miracle doctor."
"Dad, why does this mean that Li Xiao still has to do things in Peiping to show his Majesty?"
Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth and said, "I can just bear it, no need."
"No, does your father want to see you die in bed?"
When Zhu Di thought about his elder brother Zhu Biao, he just left at the drop of a hat.
"Gao Xu, write a letter immediately and send it to Peiping as soon as possible eight hundred miles away." Zhu Di ordered.
"Yes, Dad, I'm going right now."
Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly left the room to write a letter.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi shrank into a ball in pain, like a meat ball.
Zhu Di said sternly: "Boss, after you are cured this time, eat less in the future. Your father doesn't want black-haired people to give away white-haired people."
"okay."
Zhu Gaochi agreed on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking, what are you afraid of? Li Xiao said that I still have thirty-five years to live, which is definitely not the case. Oops, it just hurts a little.
The so-called eight-hundred-mile rush means using fast horses at each station, changing horses and people, and running as fast as possible, which can make a thousand miles in one day.
A few days later.
The letter arrived at Li's house.
Zhu Ningyun and Li Xiao were eating.
She originally thought it was a letter from home, but after opening the letter, it turned out to be news that her eldest brother was critically ill. Ningyun's eyes turned red on the spot.
"Xiaolang, you must save Gao Chi."
Li Xiao immediately read the letter, comforted Ningyun, and said, "Without further delay, I will go to the capital right now."
"Be careful on the road, I'll prepare clothes for you."
"No need, human life is at stake, we can't wait any longer!"
As he spoke, Li Xiao had already left the mansion, mounted the Zhaoye Jade Lion, clamped the horse's belly, and drove away quickly.
Li Xiao has superb equestrian skills and strong physical strength.
Without resting on the road, we should be able to reach the capital in a few days.
But what he never expected was.
Zhu Gaochi just had acute appendicitis, so he just got over it and was fine.
If you can't resist it, that's it.
Obviously, Zhu Gaochi survived.
But at this time, Li Xiao was already halfway.
