Qin Sheng led people down the mountain. He was not in a hurry to deal with Liufu Village, which was separated by a mountain. Let it rest for a while first, and then wait until it grows a little fatter. Anyway, there are still fifteen pheasants to be caught in Liaodong County, so let them relax their vigilance for the time being.
In addition, Qin Sheng knew very well that if he crossed the line, it would cause trouble for his father-in-law and daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law is already busy enough. Adding trouble to her will squeeze out the time she allocates to him. He is not stupid. This matter is not worthwhile no matter how much he thinks about it.
Furthermore, they have uprooted the Skeleton Village and can call it a day.
Every time he went out to suppress bandits, his wife always told him to take care of himself. So you have to work hard, and you have to rest when you need to, otherwise your wife will be exhausted and feel distressed.
The group of them escorted the bandits' belongings down the mountain, and after completing the handover with the people at the county magistrate's mansion, Zhou Da suggested, "Third Master, Sixth Master, it's still early, do you want to go have a drink together?"
At this time, Qin Sheng was thinking about his own thoughts. He had destroyed three bandit nests so far...
When he heard about the invitation to drink, he refused directly, "I won't go, I want to go home."
It would take at least an hour to have a drink. In other words, it would be another hour before he could see his wife. How could this be done? Isn't this a waste of time? Definitely not going.
"Let's go." After Qin Sheng said goodbye to them, he got on his horse and went home.
Zhou Da and Ma Jin bit each other's ears, "Have you noticed that Mr. Liu is the most active when he returns home after finishing his work?"
Qin Zhao rolled his eyes. He had never seen a man who loved his family so much. No, he had never seen a man who was so obsessed with his wife. If there is a chance to go to war in the future, I wonder if this guy will be able to sleep without his wife?
Qin Sheng came back early this time. Qin's mother, Cai Shi, Nie Yunniang, Su Shi and others were not asleep yet, but the others behind them had gone back to their rooms to comfort their children.
Qin Sheng got off the horse and gave the reins to the guard, "Mom, I'm back."
Qin's mother saw him and said, "A Sheng is back. Are you hungry?"
"Mom, I won't tell you anymore. I'm dirty. I need to wash myself first." With that said, Qin Sheng carried two buckets of water and went to the bathroom like a gust of wind.
Qin's mother opened her mouth and was about to tell him that his wife had something to do and was not at home. But she thought about it and said, forget it, just wash it. Being clean is also a good thing.
After Qin Sheng washed himself clean and cool with two large buckets of cold water, he returned to the house.
But after a while, he came out, "Mom, where is Lili?"
Suddenly, my wife was not at home at this time.
"Your wife took someone to Xue's house and said she wanted to meet an important person."
"How many people did she bring?"
Qin's mother named three or four guards while saying, "Ali has been out for a long time. He should be back soon."
"Mom, these people combined are not as good as me. I'm a little worried because Lili is out so late at night. I'll go take a look." After saying that, she blew away like a gust of wind.
Qin's mother thought to herself, you have wanted to find your wife for a long time, why bother with escorting her?
"It's up to you, you can go if you want." Forget it, the younger son is full of energy anyway, so let him do whatever he wants.
Lu Songli was indeed at Xue's house at this time.
When Xue Xu told her that his good friend Ji Wuyin was very worried about his safety because of the critical situation in Liaodong County, so he came north to visit him. At the same time, the other party also brought a batch of food.
But because Ji Wuyin set off in a hurry, the grain was loaded into the truck later. However, the grain traveled by water and is still floating on the water.
Xue Xu said that Ji Wuyin wanted to meet her and discuss the deal with her in person.
Lu Songli: Want to see her? This person must be met!
Due to the war, food prices in Liaodong County remained high. Lu Songli was worried about how to stabilize food prices. If she was really sleepy, someone would give her a pillow.
Moreover, Ji Wuyin is a famous super businessman in the South, so it is necessary to meet him.
It’s time to attract investment.
For Ji Wuyin, he was surprised when he first met Lu Songli.
He didn't expect that such a woman with a face as beautiful as a chrysanthemum, a fresh and elegant temperament, could have such thunderous methods. She really can't be judged by appearance.
Lu Songli's appearance and temperament are too deceptive.
But when he thought about it, he realized that this was the Lu Songli that his friends said.
A truly wise person is as wise as a fool. If a person will be suspected of having a purpose as long as he gets close, it will only arouse the opponent's defense. The most terrifying enemy is always the person you are not prepared for. Killing someone in the back can kill you with a single blow.
Lu Songli said with a smile, "Good day, Mr. Ji, and welcome to Liaodong County. This time, my father should have hosted a banquet to honor Mr. Ji, but he has just taken over the position of county governor, and it is unusual for him to have so many things. I'm busy. I can only entertain Mr. Ji on my behalf. I apologize for any inconvenience."
Ji Wuyin knew that Mr. Lu was inspecting the counties in Liaodong County recently and was not in Houcheng.
"Mrs. Qin Liu is too polite."
After exchanging pleasantries, they took their seats.
Then the servants started serving wine and food.
As the middleman, Xue Xu naturally had to open up the topic.
"Speaking of which, didn't I write to you before to introduce Xie Zhan, the head of the Xie family who was exiled to the Southland, to the Chen family? How is the Xie and Zhao family doing in the Southland now?"
"After Xie Zhan married Chen Baozhu, Chen Jiaye had great trust in him. The Xie family relied on Xie Zhan to do well. Home."
When Lu Songli heard him mention Xie Zhan, she listened attentively.
Xie Zhan is by no means an idle person, he still needs to pay attention to what he should pay attention to. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Although Ji Wuyin was chatting with his friends, he noticed this from the corner of his eye.
When mentioning the Xie and Zhao families, it is inevitable to mention the downsizing of the two families before and after their exile.
At this time, Ji Wuyin had learned from his friends that the Qin family, which was also exiled to Pingzhou, had not lost any members. You know, more than two-thirds of the Qin family is old, weak, women and children.
In comparison, the Xie and Zhao families were really miserable.
From this, we can get a glimpse of Lu Songli, Mrs. Qin's sixth wife,'s methods.
When this topic was brought up, Ji Wuyin said jokingly, "When the Xie and Zhao families arrived in the Southland, some people still died one after another, whether due to the unsuitable climate or hard service, including many young members of the family."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
When Lu Songli heard this, she felt something was wrong in her heart.
Because of their push, Xie Zhan was noticed by the Chen family early on.
Before that, so many people in the Xie family had died. She didn't believe that Xie Zhan was not vigilant and paid attention to it. On the premise of attaching importance to the lives of the clan members, there were still dead people. It was okay that the dead were elderly people or young children. But if the person who died was young and strong, something was wrong.
Lu Songli asked, "Did the young man of the Xie family die around the time of the marriage between Xie Zhan and the Chen family?"
Ji Wuyin recalled it for a moment and said, "It seems so."
Lu Songli nodded. Now all she needs to know is whether the deceased Qingzhuang was a core member and mainstay of the Xie family? She thought, let someone check it out later.
