On a new day, Li Chengqian got up early and was very happy to see several more teams delivering the auspicious potatoes of the country.
However, the team counting the last Qiongzhou plant had not arrived yet, so they couldn't help but look to the south.
"I wonder what the current situation is like when Master went to the south to take care of me? Don't let anything happen to Qiongzhou, which once brought me such happy memories. If this potato is not suitable for growing in Qiongzhou, which is full of miracles, the excitement will be great. ”
While Li Chengqian was thinking about it here, he looked at the potatoes in front of him and couldn't help but wave his hand.
"Come here, arrange for the guards to secretly escort these boxes to me in the farm outside the city. They will be heavily guarded. Without Guhe's father's will, anyone who dares to come close will be killed without mercy!"
This was the tone in which Li Chengqian rarely issued orders. This unprecedented order made the servants and prince guards who followed him couldn't help but feel that the contents of this box were very important to Li Chengqian.
Although they didn't know what was in this box, and what they knew was sent out by Li Chengqian to perform tasks, they still carried out Li Chengqian's orders here to the letter.
Xu Yunyan, who Li Chengqian was thinking about, was eating breakfast in the military camp. Listening to the reports of the soldiers who had returned from searching all night, he couldn't help but feel a little headache as there was still no news about Zhai Peng and the others.
After eating, I circled around and marked the simple topographic map I drew. Marking again and again while muttering to himself.
"This is where the two teams separate. Then I will go to this place and follow any possible traces to find it."
After Xu Yunyan finally made the decision, he sent out more than twice as many cavalrymen for reconnaissance, and he led more than a hundred cavalrymen towards the position where the two teams of people had parted ways.
As for the military camp that is still here, it is just a superficial appearance. There are not many people stationed here anymore. However, the Tang Army's war flag flying high in the camp makes no one dare to underestimate this strong man. How many troops are there in the barracks?
It was also early in the morning, and Zhai Peng and his party gathered together and chatted quietly.
There was no incident last night. It seemed that they were overthinking it. Just when they were about to pick up the food prepared by the store and start eating, Xue Li hurriedly stepped forward and stopped them.
"Why is this?"
"Is there something wrong with the food? Didn't we eat yesterday?"
Then, under everyone's puzzled gazes, Xue Li took out a silver needle from his sleeve and pierced the food to test it.
Finally nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, there's no problem with the food!"
After Xue Li said something, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and watched Xue Li put away the silver needle and eat the food in front of him with confidence.
As the captain of the school, Zhai Peng was talking vaguely while eating food. But before he finished speaking, no one could hear clearly what he said. The road in the distance was the same as the one they had seen last night. The figure appeared outside the thatched house again.
"You gentlemen, please be polite."
The Miss Li family is here again, and behind her are several strong men who came with her last night. However, this strong man is not empty-handed. Instead, he is carrying a food box. The aroma comes from the gap in the food box. Son, let the group of troops in front of you drool.
But looking at the food, everyone looked at Xue Li again and murmured softly.
"Is it because there is no problem with the food delivered by this store? The head of the Li family really has a problem. Do you have to come to them to cause trouble?"
While everyone was muttering like this, the head of the Li family stepped forward without hesitation, presented the numerous food boxes in front of him, and waved his hand to the strong man behind him to place them on a table not far away.
"It is an honor for all of you scholars to come to our town. Since I cannot entertain you as a landlord, this little dry food is not considered a courtesy, so I ask you to stand on the road and use it."
After sending them off, the head of the Li family looked at the faces of the people in front of him seriously, as if he wanted to remember them all in his heart, and this look made everyone even more curious.
After Zhai Peng swallowed the last bite, he suddenly choked and coughed. Just after they had finished coughing, everyone thought that nothing was wrong, and they hiccupped again. The look was as funny as it seemed, and everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.
However, Xue Li stood up as if he had thought of something, and looked at the head of the Li family with full vigilance.
"Head of the Li family, what are your plans for us? Why do you make us feel so uneasy? If we have offended the head of the Li family, I will apologize and admit my mistake here. If the head of the Li family has done anything wrong to me, I think, please ask the head of the Li family to write down the Taoist painting and explain it clearly, so as to understand what is going on."
Xue Li looked at the head of the Li family talking here with a righteous expression, and the head of the Li family looked at him and smiled.
"This young master has thought too much. I think you will definitely be able to go to high school, so I want to have a good relationship with you."
"Oh? Is that so?"
After the head of the Li family said this, everyone looked at her curiously, and Wang Ergou asked directly.
"Why do you think we will definitely be in high school? It's not because we are knowledgeable, but because we are just studying abroad and trying it for the first time."
The head of the Li family looked at them and sighed.
"Then let me tell you the truth."
After the head of the Li family said these words, everyone's hearts tightened, and their hands were quietly placed in the right position. They could immediately take out their weapons and kill anyone who dared to go against them. They killed the head of the Li family who was causing trouble on the spot. Although she was a beauty, their mission did not allow for any mistakes.
It's not like I haven't heard of honey traps before. If something goes wrong and the seeds go missing, they will be the eternal sinners.
But before the head of the Li family could finish telling his story, a pair of people came rushing over from a distance directly opposite the tea shed in Lakeside Town.
It was very arrogant to see the first few young men in rich robes and Chinese servants leading a group of servants over.
Seeing this group of people in rich and colorful clothes rushing over, the head of the Li family changed his tone before he could explain the reason to Zhai Peng.
"What a shame, they actually came so early."
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at the head of the Li family as if there was a big problem in this matter.
It's just not clear whether they can eat it.
But while everyone was watching the scene in front of them as if they were waiting to eat melon, Xue Li, a famous ancient general who was on full alert, spoke here to remind his companions.
"Guys, don't forget what we do, and you should take good care of our stuff."
Xue Li said something, and everyone reacted instantly.
"Yeah, no matter what they do, if they are together and come to trouble us together, it will be a big trouble. Who let them solve the problem of a team of people who are in trouble with them in the first time is this noble family and the envoy to the Tang Dynasty. What about the team that was complicit and then targeted them?”
Zhai Peng and his party once again carefully guarded here, and Miss Li, the head of the Li family, stepped forward quickly.
"Mr. Xue, what do you mean?"
When Xue Li heard that the man in front of him was named Xue, Xue Li couldn't help but look at him twice. However, the comparison didn't look very good. It's just that this man in brocade clothes made people think his status was slightly more noble.
When Xue Li looked at the young man named Xue, Zhai Peng also glanced at him, and then looked at Xue Li with a contrasting look. However, Xue Li quickly noticed the strange look in his eyes and glared at the two. He looked at Zhai Peng with dead fish eyes, as if asking what you meant, making Zhai Peng look ahead after coughing for a lifetime.
Soon, this young man in rich attire, whom Ms. Li, the head of the Li family, called Mr. Xue, walked up and smiled.
"Oh, the Li family girl didn't expect your women's clothes to be so beautiful. What did you think about it? Why don't you marry me, and our two families can control the entire lake together. How good would that be?"
When Mr. Xue said this, before the head of the Li family said anything, a slightly older person from the Lakeside Town next to him said something.
"You are wishful thinking! It is impossible to completely control this lake in your hands. This lake is the basis for survival of many people.
According to your Xue family's style, if it becomes your thing, can anyone still come to fish? Just like the mountain you control, do you dare to let people go up there and cut wood? Don’t kid yourself here. "
When these people said this, Zhai Peng and the others felt a little relieved. It turned out that they were not targeting them, but were robbing the lake in front of them, and what the Xue family did was too unethical.
Zhai Peng leaned next to Xue Li and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Oh, Mr. Xue, look at what your old Xue family is doing. It's really unethical."
Although Zhai Peng spoke a little softly, his strange accent still allowed several people nearby to hear what he was saying. There was also Mr. Xue in their team?
In an instant, everyone in the Li family looked at him, and what Zhai Peng said just now was unethical, which also surprised everyone here.
Even the head of the Li family looked at them and couldn't figure out what was going on, but he said regardless of his identity, "You guys are so deliberately trying to find someone to make things difficult for us. I, Li Xiaoheng, am really blind, and I still have hope." You seek justice for us."
"It's bad. It seems like it's really bad. We've been misunderstood."
Xue Li looked at Zhai Peng and said, "Look at you, what happened in your mouth has changed? I don't know how the higher-ups chose you."
When Xue Li said this, Zhai Peng was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
"This thing, this thing..."
Just when he was hesitating here and there, not knowing what to say, Mr. Xue in the distance laughed.
"Didn't you expect that this was the reinforcements my family brought in? In that case, Li Xiaoheng, how do you treat me?"
This time, Mr. Xue no longer hid here, nor did he call him Miss Li, nor did he call him Mr. Li, but instead called him by his first name. After he called Li Xiaoheng, Li Xiaoheng looked at him.
"If you want to invade my Li family's property, don't even think about it! If you want to occupy this lake so that people can't survive on the lake water here, don't even think about it!"
However, Li Xiaoheng had just finished speaking harsh words to him here, and when the people who listened to Li Xiaoheng were glaring at Zhai Peng and Mr. Xue in the distance, Mr. Xue did indeed smile here.
"If you don't think about it for you, don't you think about these people? You should know that the newly appointed county magistrate is inextricably related to our Xue family. Aren't you afraid that he will rule your lakeside town? Isn’t it the name of disrespecting the superior official and maliciously gathering forces?”
After Mr. Xue said this, Li Xiaoheng became furious.
"Are you so shameless that you actually do this? How can someone like me, from a small family in a small courtyard, be able to attract the attention of the county magistrate?"
Mr. Xue didn't care about Li Xiaoheng's scolding at him, instead he smiled.
"Who told you to be a famous and handsome girl from all over the country, and to have such an identity?"
