Before Li Man'er left, he specifically said to Li Nian, "Don't worry, third uncle, Qingyan will be fine. I will keep an eye on him."
Li Nian didn't say much, just asked her to be careful.
The uncle and nephew had a tacit understanding, and they each went about their own affairs after separation.
After Li Maner returned to the government office, he did not go back to the small courtyard where he lived, but went directly to Li Shu's residence.
Li Shu has put on armor, and it looks quite like that. After all, his body has suffered wear and tear, and he looks thinner than before, but this does not diminish the majesty of his general.
Li Man'er still wanted to save face for him in front of outsiders, at least not to let others catch her, so she just walked to Liu Ya and Lao Sun without saying anything.
The whole group was ready. Outside the door was Li Shu's personal guard. After killing several of Li Wenchang's men, there were only more than twenty people in this group. Plus Li Man'er, Liu Ya and Lao Sun, Qin Si
These few are only about thirty people.
Xiao Rudi stood in front of the mansion and said goodbye to Li Shu.
Even if there was any nastiness or dissatisfaction between the two of them before, now there is no need to get angry and say harsh words to each other.
Xiao Rudi knew that the relationship between father and daughter, Li Shu and Li Man'er, was already on fire. As the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins. He had seen Li Man'er's ability and felt that this girl was very capable and did not recognize her relatives.
As long as she comes back safe and sound from her trip to the old city this time, then the position of daughter-in-law of the Xiao family belongs to her. On the contrary, if something happens to her, just pretend that she has not thought about it.
What Li Shu thought was even simpler.
Although he and Xiao Rudi had different political views, judging from the fact that Xiao Rudi was willing to let him go to the old city to celebrate the New Year with the soldiers, this man still had some blood in him, and he may not have turned against him.
Of course, Li Shu was also wary of Xiao Rudi in many ways. Xiao Rudi was not rebellious, which did not mean that the rest of the Xiao family was not rebellious. For the specific details, he had to wait until he met the other Xiao family members in the old city before he could act on his own terms.
.
If Li Maner knew that Li Shu had been in Mobei for so long without even seeing all the Xiao family, he would probably laugh at him again.
It's like a trash snack.
Xiao Qiniang also came. When she saw Li Maner dressed in men's clothing, she swallowed all her words.
Seeing her eyes flickering, Li Man'er probably didn't hold her breath in well, so she asked Liu Ya, "Did she go to find me?"
"Well, you are very arrogant. The one who sent Poria wants you to go see her."
hehe.
"Don't worry about her, she still doesn't have anything important to do. Maybe she just wants to stumble on the species secretly."
Liu Ya quietly came over and said, "My slave thinks so too." She asked but didn't say anything, which showed that she had no good intentions.
In fact, Li Man'er knew quite well. It was estimated that Xiao Qiniang was entrusted by Xiao Si and wanted to ask him to go over and talk to Xiao Si.
This woman doesn't have good intentions, and she doesn't look very smart. She can see through her little thoughts, so she won't be fooled!
However, this Xiao family is also interesting. There are all kinds of messy things, which is also an eye-opener for her.
Soon, Li Shu said goodbye to Xiao Rudi, "General Xiao, take care."
"Master Marquis, take care. When you come back, we can have a few more drinks."
Li Shu nodded and got on his horse.
Li Man'er and others also mounted their horses, gathered their cloaks, and prepared to run for hundreds of miles.
"Set off."
Li Shu gave an order, and the first few horses rushed out, and then the people behind them also urged their horses and quickly followed.
Because of the Chinese New Year, there were still a lot of people on the street, so they could only walk slowly and patiently, rather than riding horses in the street.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the city gate, Li Shu saw the convoy of Li Nian and others from a distance.
"Hey~" Li Shu reined in the reins and looked at Li Nian with some annoyance.
Li Nian rode towards Li Shu and came close to him.
The two brothers met for the first time, but Li Shu was in a very unhappy mood. "What's going on? Didn't anyone give you a message to let you go back?" The tone was very bad.
Li Nian just said: "Brother, the Chinese New Year is almost here now. I'm afraid there will be inconvenience on the way back, and it will be difficult to stay in a hotel. The weather is so cold, it would be easy for us adults to handle it. Qingyan is still here, so we can't
Let the children suffer with us!"
"Isn't this nonsense? Why did you bring Qingyan here?"
Li Nian's face showed a bit of complaint, "Qingyan's body and bones are not good. There is no cure, but Man'er can cure it! Man'er came to Mobei to take risks for you, and I have to do it for Qingyan."
Escort her."
Li Nian's words made it very clear. Li Man'er was originally treating Li Qingyan, but something went wrong because of Li Shu's poisoning. So he had no choice but to bring his son to escort Li Man'er, fearing that something might happen to her.
, unable to save Li Shu, we have to get Li Qingyan in.
Li Shu also knew that Li Qingyan had a body of three unique qualities. He did not expect that Li Man'er was so powerful and could even cure such a rare terminal disease.
"You're already here, how can I chase you away? But as promised, the conditions over there in the old city are difficult."
A smile appeared on Li Nian's face, "Don't worry, brother, I have been in and out of military camps since I was a teenager, and I have never experienced any hardships. Even Qingyan, who has been running around with me and his mother for so many years, has long been used to it.
"
As if he heard the conversation between the two people, Li Qingyan opened the car curtain directly, revealing a little pale face. He stretched out his hand and waved at Li Shu, "Uncle, uncle."
There was a smile on Li Shu's face, "Then let's go together! I don't feel sorry for Yan'er."
Li Shu didn't think much about it, but Li Nian knew that this trip to the old city would definitely not be that simple.
"Yes, my eldest brother has loved him since he was a child, but this child is not angry." Li Nian waved his hand and motioned for his son to get into the carriage.
Li Qingyan was also obedient and shrank back obediently. He even reached out to touch the powder on his face and said to himself: "It looks like an opera singer."
Everyone knows that the barbarians are going to play a big game, but now Li Shu is the only one who is kept in the dark.
When they arrived outside the city gate, Li Shu and others took Xiao Rudi's warrant and passed quickly without any delay.
There were far fewer people outside the city, and the speed could be increased a lot. However, because there was a carriage in the team, everyone's speed was still affected.
Li Man'er was riding on horseback, wearing a hood on his head, looking very kind-hearted.
Liu Ya was full of questions, but she was afraid that others would hear her, so she could only endure it.
In fact, this was not the case for Lao Sun. He wanted to ask about the jars. He had bought so many jars, so he couldn't bring any of them with him. It would be all for the hunchback, right?
There was no talking all the way, and the group of people hurried and hurried slowly, and finally arrived at the old city before dark.
The city gate guards still stopped them and checked Xiao Rudi's warrant before letting everyone into the city.
Li Man'er sat upright on the horse and could see the difference between the old city and the new city at a glance.
