When Ying Bi'er came to Tian Hangnan and was about to stab her, Li Qi quickly stopped her: "Wait a minute!"
Ying Bi'er looked at Li Qi with a puzzled look.
"This man cannot be killed," Li Qi said.
"Why?"
Li Qidao: "If I am the only one who survives this incident, Huang Jin will definitely be suspicious..."
"What do you mean, brother Yihao?" Ying Bi'er said with a sweet smile.
Li Qi pointed to his chest and said, "Give me a slap and knock me out..."
Ying Bi'er looked confused: "Knock you out too?"
Li Qi nodded: "This way I can go back with him so that I can have business with Huang Jin. If I don't have anything wrong, I will definitely be suspected when I go back."
Hearing this, Ying Bi'er understood, hesitated and said, "Okay, then I'll take action."
"Be gentle," Li Qi warned.
Ying Bi'er smiled and said, "Don't worry, good brother, I can't bear to beat you to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qi felt a sharp pain in his chest before he could make any preparations. His mouth felt sweet, he felt dizzy, and his vision went dark before he lost consciousness.
…
When Li Qi woke up, he found that he was on horseback, and Tian Hangnan was holding the horse.
The horse walked very slowly, which was obviously intentional by Tian Hangnan.
"Master Li, are you awake?" Tian Hangnan's face turned pale.
Li Qi felt a dull pain in his chest and thought: Damn it, this woman is really capable of killing her!
"Where is this place?" Li Qi asked feebly.
"On the way back to the military camp..." Tian Hangnan said.
"Where are the others?"
"They're all dead..."
"All dead?" Li Qi pretended to be surprised, "Who did it?"
Tian Hangnan shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I guess he must be from Tianji Society."
"Tianji Society? How do they know our whereabouts?"
"My subordinates don't know this."
Li Qi looked depressed, took out a bottle of medicine to treat internal injuries, took one pill, and handed another pill to Tian Hangnan.
After returning to the military camp, Huang Jin was furious when he learned that the gold and silver had been robbed.
"This Tianji Meeting, sooner or later, I will make them look good!" Huang Jin said angrily.
"Brother, it's all my fault..." Li Qi said with a guilty look on his face.
"My dear brother, don't say this, it's none of your business. The main reason is that the Tianji Society is too arrogant! They don't take the imperial court seriously at all," Huang Jin said.
Li Qi sighed and said: "They stole a lot of gold and silver this time... If I hadn't been in a hurry to deal with those things, I wouldn't have..."
"Brother, I told you this is none of your business." Huang Jin rolled his eyes and said, "I think there is a traitor from the Tianji Society in this camp!"
"Oh?" Li Qi looked surprised.
Huang Jin said: "Who did you tell me about transporting the gold and silver out this time?"
Li Qi frowned and said, "Only you and Colonel Hotan know about this matter."
"That's right!" Huang Jin said, "Why are you and Tian Hangnan the last ones to come back alive?"
"Brother, are you saying Captain Tian is a traitor?!" Li Qi was shocked.
Huang Jin said: "Tian Hangnan is one of my most trusted soldiers. If he is really a traitor, then Tianji Society must have caught something about him... Why did he come back alive when everyone else died?
And he also rescued you, my brother?"
"Brother, Captain Tian can't be a traitor, right?" Li Qi said, "If he were a traitor, the attack on Nanfeng Mountain would not have been successful."
Huang Jin sighed and said: "This is what I can't figure out..."
"Brother, I guarantee with my life that Colonel Tian is definitely not a traitor!" Li Qi said.
Damn it, Huang Jin is very suspicious, even Tian Hangnan is suspected of him.
Could it be that he also suspected me? He just didn't say it out loud?
It seems that I have to be more careful when doing things in the future...
Tian Hangnan, who was outside the camp at this time, felt his heart skip a beat when he heard this conversation.
He originally wanted to report something, but when he came to the camp and heard that he was being discussed inside, he hesitated and listened a few more words.
It's okay not to hear this, but when I hear it, my whole body's hair stands on end.
General Huang actually suspected that he was a traitor?
When he heard Huang Jin say those words, he felt uncomfortable and scared.
It feels uncomfortable because he has been following Huang Jin for so many years, and he never expected that he would doubt himself.
The fear was that he was really worried that Huang Jin would rather kill the wrong person than let him go.
But when he heard Li Qi risk his life to guarantee that he was not a traitor, his heart was full of gratitude to Li Qi.
It's not that Li Qi is being righteous, but that Li Qi feels that if he doesn't say so, but follows Huang Jin's words and adds fuel to the flames by saying that Tian Hangnan is a traitor, then he will be more suspected.
After all, only when you have problems will you rush to blame others.
Who knows if Huang Jin is testing himself?
Since he came back, Huang Jin's attitude towards him was still the same as before, but Li Qi felt some differences in the details.
In the past few days after Li Qi came back, Huang Jin asked someone to find out where he came back from and how he came back.
It would have been better not to check, but once they did, they found out that Li Qi came back in a carriage, and when he was approaching the military camp, he got off the carriage and walked to the military camp by himself.
Huang Jin found this very suspicious, but when someone went to check who else was on the carriage, they couldn't find it.
Later, Huang Jin thought carefully about Li Qi's rhetoric and found that there were many loopholes in it, and the Tianji Society had always hated court officials.
The imperial official who fell into their hands would not end well.
This is also the reason why Nanjing Prefect always brings a large group of people with him every time he travels, for fear that Tianji will attack him.
My brother is very suspicious.
However, he had no evidence, and since he was the prince's son, it was not easy to torture him.
After the gold and silver were robbed today, Huang Jin tried his best to test Li Qi.
Unexpectedly, there was no result.
This also made Huang Jin have some self-doubt. Could it be that he really thought too much?
Forget it, I'm going back to Kyoto soon, it's better to have one less thing to worry about.
"Brother Xian, you are going back to Kyoto in the next few days, so don't run around, lest you be plotted by the rebels again." Huang Jin said with a concerned look on his face.
Li Qi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother, but I may have to stay in Nanjing City for a few days."
"Oh?" Huang Jin looked at him thoughtfully, "Is there anything else, dear brother?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "To be honest, brother, I was a businessman before I became an official. When I came to Nanjing this time, I found some business opportunities, so I wanted to start a small business and make some money."
Huang Jin also knew that Li Qi was a businessman before. After hearing what he said, he nodded and said: "Since I have something to do, I will go back to Beijing first. Then I will arrange for some people to stay and protect me.
