Liu Mingzhi jumped off his horse, took off the dry tobacco bag he had received from Song Qing and had not yet returned it from his waist, and skillfully loaded a pot of shredded tobacco.
After lighting it with a fire stick, he slowly walked toward He Shu and the maid Li'er while puffing on clouds of smoke.
When Li'er was in Prince Zhao's Mansion, she boldly seduced her because of Li Tao's orders, so she still had some impression of Liu Mingzhi.
Hand in, [app ] is really good and worth installing. After all, there are many book sources, complete books, and fast updates!
Later, when he left, he gave her a handwritten letter.
“How brave are you? Two weak women dare to block you in the middle of the official road, and you are not afraid of encountering bandits and robbers who will kidnap you. How many days have you been waiting?”
"Wutian Aijia has no time to say these useless words to you, where is Tao'er?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at He Shu's questioning gaze and blew a smoke ring into the air in a nonchalant manner.
“Are you asking for advice? Concubine He!”
"you"
He Shu looked at Liu Mingzhi's nonchalant attitude, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and waved to the maid beside him.
“Li’er, go and wait aside.”
“Empress?”
"If he has evil intentions, it doesn't matter whether you are here or not. Just listen and wait aside!"
Maid Li'er hesitated for a moment, silently looked at Mr. Liu who had been dishonest to her in Prince Zhao's Mansion, and bowed with a blessing.
“Yes, slave, I obey.”
Li'er turned back three times and walked towards the big tree on the right side of the official road. He Shu hurriedly took two steps towards Liu Mingzhi, looking at Liu Mingzhi with pleading eyes.
“Brother-in-law, I’m begging you, please tell me how my son is doing? Are you taking care of him?”
Liu Mingzhi looked at He Shu who was putting down his airs and pleading with him. He took a strong puff from the pipe and then raised his foot to knock out the ash inside.
Looking deeply at He Shu, who looked anxious.
“I was just thinking about how to get rid of the root cause and never have any future troubles. Now it’s all right. You came to my door yourself.
It’s all better now, I’m sorry to say that I’m sending people to all corners of the world to find your whereabouts.”
Hearing Liu Mingzhi's calm and cold words, He Shu suddenly trembled, staggered back a few steps with a look of disbelief in his eyes, and his back happened to be pressed against the wheels of the carriage.
With her right hand tremblingly on the carriage to support her weak body, He Shufeng's eyes suddenly condensed with mist of sadness.
The words “cutting off the roots and never causing any future troubles” kept lingering in my mind.
“Kill Tao’er!”
"What do you think? Should I keep him to restore the Li family in the future and rebel against me? It seems natural to eradicate the roots after the change of dynasty."
Liu Mingzhi was still talking eloquently. He Shu, a woman who had always been delicate and gentle, used all her strength to rush towards Liu Mingzhi, reaching out to pull out the Heavenly Sword worn by Liu Mingzhi at his waist.
"You are an executioner who kills people without blinking an eye. The Ai family has fought with you, but you can give my son his life!"
Liu Mingzhi was also startled by He Shu's crazy behavior and hurriedly stepped back, leaving He Shu's idea of drawing his sword in vain.
“Fuck, are you crazy?”
He Shu was heartbroken and continued to snatch Liu Mingzhi's weapon. Apparently, he was so stimulated by Liu Mingzhi's words that he lost his mind.
“Give my son his life!”
Liu Mingzhi raised his head and grabbed He Shu's wrist: "I am joking with you, but Li Tao is fine."
But just by grabbing He Shu's wrist, he still couldn't stop her struggle: "Give my son his life!"
“Wake up!”
Liu Mingzhi’s voice filled with inner strength gave a cold shout, which shocked He Shu severely.
His eyes regained some composure, He Shu stared at Liu Mingzhi's deep expression with tears streaming down his face.
“You killed my son! You killed my son!”
“Listen to me, I just lied to you, your son doesn’t do anything”
“Get out of the way of the people in front of you. What are you trying to do by blocking the official road?”
Liu Mingzhi was about to explain to He Shu when cautious and surprised words of inquiry came from behind him. He subconsciously turned around and saw that a caravan of more than 200 people on the official road had stopped fifty or sixty steps away.
.
It was the guards of the caravan who were shouting. At this moment, the two guards had their swords unsheathed, and while arranging their postures, they walked slowly towards this side while carefully looking at the surrounding environment. They were obviously worried about an ambush by bandits and bandits around them.
After all, a carriage appeared on the official road, and a man and a woman were arguing about something. It was really strange.
Worried that it might be a trick of bandits, the two guards did not dare to let down their guard at all.
Liu Mingzhi grasped He Shu's wrists tightly with his big hands, turned around and nodded with a smile to the two guards.
“Brothers, don’t worry. I’m going to have a small dispute with my family. We’ll get out of the way right away. Get out of the way right away.”
The two guards didn't know whether what Liu Mingzhi said was true or not. Instead of letting their guard down, they tightened the weapons in their hands.
Liu Mingzhi guessed what they were thinking from their expressions. He apologized again and pulled the struggling He Shu towards the carriage a few steps away.
He raised his hand and touched He Shu's acupuncture points, and with a slight force of both hands, he forced He Shu into the car.
Worried that He Shu would repeat his old tricks, he took off his Heavenly Sword and placed it across his legs. He pulled the reins of his horse, turned around and headed for the left side road.
Liu Mingzhi whistled, and his horse Fengxing, who was leisurely eating weeds on both sides of the road, also sneezed and consciously ran slowly behind the carriage.
Hunting behind the carriage was Li'er, who was enjoying the shade under a tree.
The two guards looked at the carriage that had stopped at the fork in the road, then breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and trotted towards the caravan behind them.
“Li’er, help me put the horse down!”
“Your Majesty, you”
“Girl, this young master will not do anything to the concubine!”
"I am"
Li'er looked at Liu Mingzhi's chuckle, bit her red lips and left the carriage again.
Watching the caravan guards suspiciously escorting the caravan away from the official road, Liu Mingzhi leaned over and got into the carriage.
Looking at He Shu who was slumped in the carriage unable to move, looking extremely panicked because he got into the carriage, Liu Mingzhi sat cross-legged opposite He Shu.
“Forget it, concubine, I’ll just call you second sister-in-law.
Second sister-in-law, Li Tao is fine. He is staying in the clan's house and is safe and sound. I haven't touched a hair on his face. I will untie your acupoints and hope you can calm down."
Liu Mingzhi pointed a finger, and He Shu, who couldn't move, immediately got up. Looking at Liu Mingzhi sitting cross-legged in front of the carriage door, he grabbed the skirt of his chest and shrank deeper into the carriage.
Liu Mingzhi rolled his eyes helplessly.
“I really want to do something to you, why do I need to relieve you? If I do it directly, you will have no power to resist.”
He Shu huddled tightly in the corner of the carriage, staring at Liu Mingzhi cautiously.
"If you were truly a gentleman, how could you have used your feet to pervert the thief in Tao'er's house?"
And it was in vain that I believed you, you hypocrite. If Tao'er hadn't told Aijia, Aijia would have really thought you were a hero who saved me from trouble. I didn't expect that everything was just a drama directed and performed by you.
You are a hypocrite with a beastly face!”
Liu Mingzhi's face froze, and he naturally understood what He Shu's words meant. He scratched his eyebrows in embarrassment. He really made a mistake when he kidnapped He Shu into Beijing.
“You have defiled the innocence of the Aijia family and killed the only son of the Aijia family.
Even if Aijia is a ghost, he won’t let you go!”
"The conscience of heaven and earth, when will this young master be defiled?"
Liu Mingzhi hammered the carriage helplessly: "Well, I can't explain it clearly. I didn't do anything, and you won't believe it.
I don’t want to waste my time explaining.
Let’s talk about Li Tao! I just told you that Li Tao is not dead or harmed, and he is staying in the Zongren Mansion!”
He Shu suddenly sat up and said, "You lied to me. The Ai family wrote to my natal family and asked them to go to the Zongren Mansion to see it. Taoer is not being held in the Zongren Mansion at all!"
Liu Mingzhi’s eyes narrowed, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes.
“He Shaoqing’s information is quite good!”
The He Shaoqing mentioned by Liu Mingzhi is none other than He Shu’s father, the current Shaoqing of Taipu Temple, He Zhengyun.
"What the hell did you do to Tao'er? Liu Mingzhi, if you were a man, you would be more courageous!"
Liu Mingzhi gently tapped the blade of the Heavenly Sword with his fingers, and looked at He Shu calmly and thoughtfully.
“Li Tao is not in any danger now, I can guarantee you this.
But whether he will be safe and sound in the future is not up to me!
In him and in you!”
Liu Mingzhi's implication was naturally that Li Tao would stay in the clan's mansion honestly and not make any small moves to restore the Li family. He also hoped that He Shu could persuade her to calm down.
But in He Shu’s ears, it had a different meaning.
In him and in you!
Coupled with the somewhat profound look in Mr. Liu's eyes, He Shubei clenched his teeth and couldn't help but tremble.
There was silence in the carriage for a long time.
In Liu Mingzhi's stunned eyes, the phoenix-patterned jade belt fell off his waist, the spruce silk slipped quietly, and a flawless jade body leaned towards him.
“What are you doing? I am a gentleman. Gudu
Young Master Benben has been away from home for more than ten days and has not been around women. Don't go too far.
You brought this on yourself, so you can’t blame me!”
At the fork in the road, Li'er held the braided straw ball and sent it towards the horse's mouth.
Without anyone noticing, she looked at the dancing carriage more than fifty steps away, her eyes full of worry and confusion.
