Tang Yun looked at Li Qi who was packing things in the room and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Li Qi said: "Of course you are planning to run away. You don't need to pack up your things over there. You can buy them again when you go out."
"Run away?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "I think this prince is hopeless now, and I am too lazy to pay attention to him. It is only a matter of time that the third prince will kill me. Anyway, I have already thought about it, and I will run away first."
"But Young Master, if you want to leave Kyoto, you will definitely alert the Third Prince. Before you leave the city, maybe..."
Li Qi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this. When I first built this mansion, I had people dig tunnels that lead directly to the moat. If you go down through the tunnels, you can get out of the city without anyone noticing. I also had people dig tunnels outside the city."
Prepare the carriage. It only takes two hours to ride the carriage to the nearest port. After that, you can board the ship and head directly to the East China Sea. After leaving the East China Sea in three days, I will take you to Europe."
"Europe?" Tang Yun did not expect that Li Qi had planned so well.
"Anyway, you will know when you go there. Although that place is not as good as Daxia now, it is not bad at all." Li Qi said.
Tang Yun pursed his lips and said, "When will the young master set out?"
"Tomorrow night." Li Qi said.
Tang Yun thought for a moment and said, "Does the prince really not care about the young master?"
"I was so angry when I saw his virtue. Damn it, grandma, I was completely blind when I thought of helping him." Li Qi scolded.
Tang Yun ran out of ideas for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, Su Yingxiong ran over.
"Brother Li! Someone is looking for you."
When Su Yingxiong entered the room and saw Li Qi packing his things, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Li, what are you doing?"
He hasn't told Su Yingxiong about running away now, he plans to talk about it when he leaves.
"I want to redecorate this house..." Li Qi said and asked, "Who is looking for me?"
"I don't know, the other party handed me a post." Su Yingxiong handed the post to Li Qi.
Li Qi took it over and took a look at it, and was slightly startled: "Marquis Yuwen? What does he want from me?"
Could it be that the third prince wanted to strike first?
It's impossible. The three-day period hasn't come yet. As a prince, you won't be so ungrateful to martial ethics, right?
"Sir, you'd better go see Marquis Yuwen first." Tang Yun reminded him.
Li Qi looked at her and took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll go see him first. Please keep quiet about what I just said."
"yes."
Su Yingxiong was a little confused and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Qi glared at him: "It's none of your business, hurry up and prepare the carriage."
"good……"
After leaving Li Mansion, Li Qi sat on the carriage and arrived at Yuwen Mansion after a while.
When he saw Marquis Yuwen, the old man smiled and motioned for Li Qi to sit down.
Li Qi cupped his hands in salute and said, "I wonder why Lord Marquis wants me to do this?"
Marquis Yuwen handed a tea bowl to Li Qi: "Master Li, please have some tea."
Li Qi picked up the tea, hesitated for a moment and then put it back: "Master Marquis, let's talk about things first. Did the Third Prince have any instructions?"
Marquis Yuwen smiled and did not answer the question but said: "I heard that Mr. Li was a businessman before?"
"Exactly." Li Qi said.
Grandma, it seems that the third prince has been busy these days, and he probably has a very clear understanding of my young master's background.
"In the past few years since Mr. Li came to Beijing, he has built so many industries in Kyoto, which is really impressive." Yu Wenhou said.
"It's just a small fight. It's far different from the Marquis." Li Qi said with a smile.
Marquis Yuwen smiled and did not answer, but said: "Master Li, I wonder if you have heard of this sentence."
"What words?"
"Good birds choose trees to roost... Mr. Li is young and there is still a lot of room for development in his official career. Wouldn't it be a pity if he died at this time?" Marquis Yuwen said with a smile.
What does this old man mean? He wants me to join the Third Prince?
"I hope Lord Marquis will make it clear." Li Qi cupped his hands and said.
"In today's court situation, although the crown prince has a high chance of winning the throne, the third prince has a chance. In recent years, the third prince has made countless achievements in the border areas, and has also trained an iron-blooded army... The emperor called the third prince back to the throne.
Jing, the intention is already very clear."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Master Hou is saying that the emperor wants to depose the prince?"
Marquis Yuwen said with a smile: "The holy will is unpredictable, how can I dare to judge what the emperor wants? However, the prince's performance in Beijing has been mediocre in recent years, and it is really difficult for him to hold a big position."
"It is said that the Marquis only knows people, and today's meeting is indeed as rumored." Li Qi said, "I am just a fifth-grade official and have little influence on the affairs of the imperial power. The Marquis came to see me today. It is really strange."
It’s a bit of a fuss.”
Marquis Yuwen said with a smile: "Why should Mr. Li be so modest? Filling the vacancies in the household department and exterminating the rebels are impossible things that ordinary people can do, not to mention that these things are done beautifully without showing off their edge..."
Damn it, he actually knew about the pig slaughtering thing?
Sure enough, there is no airtight wall in this world.
"It's a pity that the Lanyuan incident has caused a grudge between me and the third prince. Even if I have the intention to do things for the third prince, it's a pity..."
Having said this, Li Qi sighed.
Marquis Yuwen's eyes lit up and he said: "As long as Mr. Li has that intention, the Third Prince will definitely not pursue this matter further. The Third Prince is not a stingy person."
Damn it, according to the current situation, the chance of winning for Prince Adou is too low. Even if you want to support him, he probably won't be able to defeat the third prince.
The reason why I chose to hug his thigh was because without the appearance of the third prince, I felt that this guy could securely be the emperor.
But now that the third prince has appeared, does he have to reconsider?
Li Qi felt that he just wanted to live in Kyoto and sit back and relax. As for loyalty, he had never considered it.
He will not be loyal to anyone. If he is really loyal to anyone, it would only be himself.
The young master on the prince's side can be regarded as being completely benevolent, but he still has to think carefully about taking refuge with the third prince. After all, he is still a little wary of this prince who looks effeminate and has cruel methods.
I miss the prince, although he is not as good as the third prince, but at least he misses the old love.
In the future, if I really do something treasonous and unethical, the other party will not do anything too cruel.
But the Third Prince really can't guarantee it.
Li Qi fell into deep thought for a while, how to choose?
Seeing that Li Qi's brows were furrowed and he seemed to be thinking about something, Marquis Yuwen didn't say anything more, but sat quietly drinking tea.
He felt that when a person is thinking, it proves that his mind has begun to waver.
