Li Man'er has been thinking about a problem since she came back from the third room.
Who is Li Nian?
On the surface, Li Nian was returning to Beijing to report on his duties. It happened that something happened to Li Shu and he could be escorted back to Mobei.
But he hasn't been back for many years, so why does he suddenly want to return to Beijing?
It's still early before the Chinese New Year. Isn't it too early for him to leave?
Could it be that the emperor really sent him back?
Li Shu's trip to Mobei was clearly the emperor's handiwork. Now that he sent Li Nian there, was he trying to force the Xiao family to rebel?
If Li Nian is not from the emperor, then who can be the person who can transfer him back from the south?
The Ninth Prince Qi Yihan?
Li Man'er raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling that the latter was more likely.
Two dogs fight, play off.
If both the emperor and the Xiao family lose, then who is the biggest gainer?
Li Man'er inexplicably remembered some legends about the Ninth Prince. It is said that he was the late emperor's favorite prince. He was smart and courageous since he was a child, and he was a legitimate son of an old man, so he received all the favor from the late emperor. It was precisely because of his preference that,
The late emperor had not established a prince for a long time. Everyone knew that the late emperor was waiting for the ninth prince to grow up.
The Ninth Prince is a proud young man and is the most powerful contender to succeed the throne. Apart from his young age, he is excellent in all aspects. He has been in and out of the military camp at the age of ten. He has endured many hardships that no prince has ever endured and has also gained a lot of support.
Later, for some unknown reason, his temperament suddenly changed and he became manic and extremely aggressive. It is said that he once killed dozens of people on a rainy night, but because of his identity, the matter was suppressed in the end.
Come down.
Whether it is true or false, no one knows.
It's just that when the late emperor passed away, he was still young, and there were rumors that his temperament had changed drastically, and he was bloodthirsty and prone to murder. Therefore, in the end, it was the current emperor who ascended the throne and became the most respected.
Nowadays, the Holy Sage and the Ninth Prince are the same mother. People say that the Holy Sage protects his younger brother very much and dotes on his younger brother like a madman. His love for the Ninth Prince is exactly the same as that of the late Emperor, or even more.
Is this really the case?
Li Man'er sneered, "The family ties in the Tian family are so noisy?"
Between me and my son, they are king and minister before father and son, let alone brothers.
What about real brothers? The fourth and the fourteenth are still brothers from the same mother. Aren’t they also fighting to the death?
Don't think about it anymore. When you get to Mobei, you will know everything.
Li Maner fell down on the bed, covered herself with quilt and went to sleep.
In a blink of an eye, the day of departure came.
Several large cars stopped in front of the house for final inspection. Li Man'er took advantage of the opportunity to say goodbye and secretly glanced at Zi Yan. The girl nodded, quietly walked out of the house, and ran away.
Li Man'er looked away and continued to listen to Cui and Li Nian's nonsense.
We must protect Man'er's safety and do our best to treat your eldest brother. Your eldest brother is the backbone of our family. There must be no mistakes.
She just had to tell Li Nian to rush in and replace her own son when in danger.
Li Nian only dealt with Mr. Cui for the sake of filial piety. In fact, who knows whether he will listen to the words of a housewife.
"Grandma, don't worry. We will definitely bring father back safely." Li Man'er said, "Third uncle, it's getting late, let's leave early! If we delay for a moment longer, my father will be in greater danger."
When Mrs. Cui heard this, she didn't care about anything else and immediately asked them to set off.
Li Nian breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to his aunt, and went to the gate with Li Man'er.
"It's really going to kill me." Li Nian only dared to whisper in a low voice, but he didn't say it loudly.
Li Man'er snickered and asked, "Uncle Third, can I ride a horse?"
"You, if you want to ride, wait until you get out of Beijing. For this section of the road, just ride the car honestly."
Li Man'er had no choice but to sit in the carriage and ride with the nine-year-old kid Li Qingyan.
"Sister, why don't you bring a maid?"
"They are too delicate. They will have to endure hardships when they go to Mobei. Unlike Liu Ya, who has time to spare, so with her taking care of you, Third Aunt can rest assured."
Mrs. Yu was afraid that no one would take care of Li Maner and Qingyan's lives, so she assigned Liu Ya to accompany them.
Li Qingyan lifted the curtain and looked out. When he saw Liu Ya, he lowered the curtain and whispered, "Even Liu Ya can ride a horse, why can't I?"
"How is your body and bones? Do you still need me to remind you?" Li Man'er said with a straight face, "When you are riding in the car, memorize the essentials of the formula I teach you. Understand it yourself first, and ask me if you don't understand."
"Oh." Li Qingyan rolled his eyes and said, "You are my senior sister, not my master."
"I am acting as a master to accept apprentices and teach skills. Naturally, I have strict requirements and follow the wishes of my master." Li Man'er said: "You must be obedient along the way, otherwise I will deal with you according to military law."
Li Qingyan didn't care at all, and asked her with a smile, "Sister, how should I deal with it under military law?"
"Hit you with a military stick and take off your pants."
"You, you..." Li Qingyan is not afraid of being hit by a military stick, he is afraid of taking off his pants.
Li Nian shouted, "Let's set off."
The wheels started turning slowly and the carriage shook slightly. Li Maner closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to Li Qingyan.
Li Qingyan memorized two formulas, felt extremely bored, and reached for the snacks on the table.
Li Man'er moved his fingers slightly, and a peanut hit the back of Li Qingyan's hand. He let out an ouch, touched the red dot on the back of his hand, and silently recited the formula.
He seems very powerful, but since he can't beat him, he should be more honest.
As expected, the carriage came from Changqing Street, so it might not cause unnecessary trouble. Li Nian only wore regular clothes and no armor. His bodyguards, as well as Li Shu's two personal guards, were all dressed in ordinary clothes.
Zi Yan and Lao Sun had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the Li family's carriage approaching, they immediately stepped forward to greet it.
"Sir, she seems to be the maid of a big girl, why is she bringing a man with her?"
Li Nian reined in his horse and the guard asked, "Who is coming?"
"Third Master, I am Zi Yan, the eldest girl's maid." Zi Yan said, "Our girl has already told me to let my slave wait here."
Li Nian is a good person. When he saw Lao Sun, he knew that he was a practicing master. When he met Zi Yan again, he was very familiar with this man. There was nothing he didn't understand.
"Okay, since you are one of your own family, let's return to the team."
Zi Yan nodded quickly to Lao Sun, who neatly clasped his fists and saluted, and then blended into the team.
Li Maner put down the car curtain and felt a little more at ease.
There is also a slave in the dimension. Once cured, he will become an effective assistant.
It's more cost-effective to take Lao Sun with you than to take Zi Yan and green clothes. However, isn't that girl stupid? She's standing on the street with tears in her eyes while blowing the cold wind, and she's not afraid of being frozen.
"Sister, do you have any help?" Li Qingyan asked curiously: "Who is that person? You seem to value him very much."
