On the day they left Nanjing City, Nanjing Prefect Wu Zhanglin personally sent Li Qi and his party to the door.
Looking at the huge farewell team, Li Qi felt not happy at all.
After leaving Nanjing, this time I returned to Kyoto and went deep into the tiger's den.
The matter of Concubine Liu has not yet been investigated clearly, and now she is going to Tianbao Pavilion to steal the map.
There is also the Heartless Palace in the palace, which is eyeing her. It makes people have a headache just thinking about it.
Li Qi looked at Xiao Man, who was sitting opposite him, looking uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you? You have a constipated face."
"Master, what is constipation face?"
"That's how you are. Who bullied you, or are you feeling unwell?"
Xiaoman said pitifully: "I'm hungry..."
"Hungry? Didn't you bring something to eat?"
"I don't want to eat."
"Aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat? Don't you think it tastes good?"
"no."
"What is that?"
Xiao Man pouted and said: "I'm getting fatter and fatter. I can't eat anymore... I'm afraid no one will want me if I continue to eat..."
Hearing this sentence, Li Qi almost stopped laughing: "Who told you that you are fat?"
"When I went to a restaurant yesterday, I ate ten plates of pork head meat in one go. Someone next to me said that I..."
"Anyone else dares to speak against you? Didn't Guard Zhang deal with him for you?"
Li Qi glanced at Zhang Chuang in confusion, who had his eyes closed to rest. He opened his eyes and said two words lightly: "No need."
"No? Why not?" Li Qi asked.
Xiao Man said: "There is no need for Zhang Guard to take action, I have already dealt with that person!?"
"How did you clean it up?"
"I gave that man a hundred taels of silver and asked him to lie down on the ground and learn how to bark like a dog, and kowtow to admit his mistake to me." Xiao Man said with a proud look.
What the hell!
Have you learned all the essence of this young master?
"How did you spend the money I gave you?" Li Qi asked with a grimace.
"What if?"
No wonder this damn girl comes to me every once in a while asking for money!
Grandma, with her flowering methods, even if I have a golden mountain, I can’t stand it!
But when I think about it, I blame myself for giving her too much pocket money on weekdays.
"I have decided that starting from today, I will only give you one hundred taels every month." Li Qi said.
Xiao Man didn't seem to care at all, he pursed his lips and muttered something.
Li Qi leaned over to listen and found that the girl kept saying: "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry..."
Sure, you know how to use self-hypnosis, so it’s not like you’ve followed me for so long.
Seeing this girl like this, Li Qi didn't know why, but his depressed mood suddenly lifted.
When they arrived at an inn in the evening, Tian Hangnan parked the carriage and everyone got off the carriage to eat and stay in a hotel.
Who knows, but once you enter, there will be more than one person inside.
"Shopkeeper, do you still have a place to stay?" Tian Hangnan asked.
"Sorry, sir, our store is full."
"Then are there any other inns nearby?"
"There is a small town a hundred miles away, and there is an inn in the town."
Hearing that there was an inn only a hundred miles away, Tian Hangnan looked helpless and glanced at Li Qi.
Li Qi said: "Let's find a farmhouse nearby and make do with it."
Tian Hangnan nodded.
Just as everyone was about to leave, a voice suddenly rang out: "Master Li?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked back and found that it was Chun Sanniang.
With her were Song Longping, Suan Laoer and others.
"Why are you here?" Li Qi looked at Chun Sanniang and was stunned for a moment.
Chun Sanniang glanced at Tian Hangnan on the side.
Li Qi immediately reacted: "We are all our own people."
Chun Sanniang said: "Master Li, why don't we talk in the room."
Li Qi nodded.
Arriving at the guest room, Li Qi asked Tian Hangnan to take Zhang Chuang and Xiao Man to dinner, while he, Chun Sanniang and others stayed in the room.
"Master Li, I finally found you." Chun Sanniang said.
"Looking for me? Why are you looking for me?" Li Qi asked.
Song Longping and the second-in-command on the side said nothing, and both looked at Chun Sanniang.
Chun Sanniang pondered for a moment before explaining the reason for looking for Li Qi.
The Heroes Association holds a so-called Heroes Conference every year, bringing together the helmsmen and senior leaders from all over the country to discuss major issues together.
To put it bluntly, it means that the head office holds a meeting and summons the managers of the following branches to report on performance.
After hearing this, Li Qi was very disapproving.
I am a bullshit sub-ruler who has no real power in the first place, and I did not want to be the sub-ruler at the beginning.
What does this kind of conference have to do with you?
Seeing that Li Qi remained silent, Song Longping on the side said: "Director Li, I know how much we have offended before, but if you don't attend this conference, then our Sunan Branch will be disbanded..."
"Just disband. I think it's better if we disband. Then you can do your own business and it will still be prosperous." Li Qi poured a cup of tea slowly.
"Master, this is about the fate of thousands of brothers in the Sunan Branch. How could you..."
"What's wrong with me?" Li Qi sneered and said, "Talk to your conscience, since I became this helmsman, when did you really regard me as the helmsman? Have you discussed anything with me?"
Song Longping didn't know what to say for a moment, but looked at Chun Sanniang.
"Captain, it was our fault before, but if you don't participate this time, the Southern Jiangsu branch will definitely be disbanded... By then, it will be difficult for you to open your credit union in Su City," Chun Sanniang said.
After saying this, Chun Sanniang gave Li Qi another look, as if she had something else to say to Li Qi in private.
Regarding Chun Sanniang, Li Qi knew that she still wanted to be with him.
When I was in Kyoto before, I mostly exchanged letters with her to learn about the situation in Su City.
"For Sanniang's sake, I'll think about it first." Li Qi said, "But there is one thing that you need to help me solve first."
When Song Longping heard this, he smiled happily and said: "If you have anything to do, captain, just give me your instructions."
"You have also seen that there are three people with me. There are four of us in total. We want to stay here, but there are no guest rooms..."
Before Li Qi could finish speaking, Song Longping said: "It's such a small matter, don't worry, Captain, I'll have someone vacate the room right now."
"Okay, you all can go down, I'm a little tired and want to take a rest first," Li Qi said.
Everyone stood up and when they walked to the door, Li Qi added: "Sanniang, go get some food and bring it to me."
"Okay, Captain."
Grandma, when you need me, you treat me as the helmsman. When you don't need me, I don't see you remembering me one by one.
I don’t know what Chun Sanniang wants to say to me...
