Li Qi called Youlan outside and began to ask what happened.
Youlan was hesitant at first, but when Li Qi said that he had saved Lian Shaohua and that Lian Shaohua was doing his own thing, she told him everything.
"Guan Xinrui?" Li Qi stared at Youlan and said, "So she belongs to Lian Shaohua..."
Youlan nodded: "After Mr. Lian and I separated, I went to find my young lady, thinking about going to sea, but my young lady was worried about Mr. Lian, so we came all the way, wanting to go to Beijing to find Mr. Lian..."
"What a pair of crazy men and women." Li Qi sighed, "According to what you said, when you were in Kyoto, it was your lady who arranged for you to help Lian Shaohua?"
Youlan nodded.
"Why didn't your lady go find him before?" Li Qi asked.
Youlan hesitated, and after a while she said: "Master Li, since you saved Mr. Lian, I have nothing to hide... My young lady cannot enter the capital."
"Why?"
"Because..." Youlan took a deep breath and said, "Because he is a descendant of the Guan family..."
"Guan family?"
Li Qi suddenly remembered a name "Guan Baisheng".
This general who was once the god of war in Daxia became a sinner throughout the ages because of the "Battle of Xia Gao".
The first time I heard the name "Guan Baisheng" was from Huang Jin. Later Lian Shaohua also said that his family was massacred that year, and it was Guan Baisheng who saved him and adopted him as his adopted son.
Thinking about Li Qi, he started to make up his mind. After a moment, he said: "I understand! Are Miss Guan and Brother Lian childhood sweethearts?"
Youlan nodded.
"Then when Brother Lian went to Beijing to seek revenge and marry the princess, did Miss Guan accept this?" Li Qi asked.
Youlan smiled bitterly and said: "Back then, Mr. Lian didn't want to go to the capital for revenge. He just wanted to stay with the young lady... It was the young lady who asked him to go to the capital, and it was also the young lady who asked him to marry the princess, because only by marrying the princess and becoming the consort, could he
Revenge was obtained."
What?!
Li Qi blinked twice in disbelief.
After coming back to his senses after a moment, he looked at Youlan and said, "You mean, what Brother Lian did in the capital was actually Miss Guan's planning behind his back?"
Youlan nodded.
Grandma, it seems that the saying really comes true: behind every successful man, there is a great woman.
Although Lian Shaohua has not succeeded yet and almost failed, it is still remarkable to be able to achieve this level.
"It seems like birds of a feather flock together." Li Qi said.
Youlan didn't understand what he meant, and looked puzzled: "What does Mr. Li mean by this?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "What's the point? You see, Brother Lian is known as the most talented person in the world, and your lady? She is even more resourceful. The two of them are really a match made in heaven."
"Master Li, thank you very much." Youlan said.
While the two were chatting, Tang Yun popped up from the carriage: "Sir, I'm awake."
Li Qi nodded and said to Youlan: "Let's go meet your young lady."
The two got on the carriage and saw Guan Xinrui leaning in the corner. Although his face was still a little pale, his condition was much better than before.
Youlan went over to explain to Guan Xinrui and Li Qi's identity.
After Guan Xinrui heard this, he wanted to stand up and salute Li Qi.
"Miss Guan, you're welcome. Brother Lian and I are close friends. Now that you are sick, etiquette is no longer required." Li Qi said quickly.
"Thank you sir for rescuing Lian Lang. I am very grateful..." Guan Xinrui said with a sincere face.
"You say this is a coincidence. I saved Brother Lian and met you here again. It seems that this was a secret arrangement." Li Qi smiled and said, "It seems that when I return to Beijing, Brother Lian will have to invite you again."
I drank."
Guan Xinrui smiled slightly and said, "Where are you going, sir?"
"Outside the pass." Li Qi said.
"Outside the customs?"
Li Qi didn't hide anything from her. After all, they were all one of his own, so he said directly: "The emperor is going to attack Feiyan Village, and I will be responsible for escorting the food and grass there."
"Feiyan Village?" Guan Xinrui frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Li Qi couldn't help but ask when he saw her appearance.
Guan Xinrui smiled bitterly and said: "This reminds me of some old memories..."
Li Qi said: "Did Miss Guan think of the Battle of Xiagao?"
Guan Xinrui was startled, and his eyes suddenly became a little evasive, as if he was afraid that others would mention this matter.
Youlan said: "Master Li, Miss..."
Before she could finish speaking, Guan Xinrui interrupted her: "It's okay... these things have passed..."
As he spoke, he sighed quietly and said, "Yes, I did think of the past when my father led troops to go to war... Sir, you have to be careful when going outside the customs this time."
"Don't worry, I'm just a logistics soldier and won't go to the front line. Besides, if the Xuanyuan Army is taking the lead, it won't be my turn," Li Qi said.
"Xuanyuan Army?" Guan Xinrui was a little surprised, "Has the Third Prince returned to Beijing?"
"Oh? Miss Guan knows the third prince?"
Guan Xinrui smiled bitterly and said: "When he was a child, the third prince often came to my house to ask my father to teach him how to ride and shoot. He and I were half playmates."
"I see." Li Qi nodded and said, "According to this, wouldn't Brother Lian and the Third Prince have been playing together since childhood?"
Guan Xinrui shook his head and said: "Lian Lang has been in the house since he was a child, and his father did not let him see outsiders, so they don't know each other."
"Is that so? No wonder."
"What's the wonder?"
Li Qidao: "No wonder the third prince would find Brother Lian as a scapegoat this time and almost put him to death."
Guan Xinrui was stunned: "Your Excellency, you are saying that Lian Lang almost died this time and it was the Third Prince who did it."
Li Qidao: "I'm not sure. On the surface it is Marquis Yuwen who is operating it, but the Third Prince should also be tacitly approving it behind the scenes."
Guan Xinrui looked melancholy: "I didn't expect that the third prince has also changed..."
"How long has it been since Miss Guan returned to Beijing?" Li Qi asked.
"Twelve years..."
"Have you been wandering outside all these years?" Li Qi asked.
"It's not really wandering."
"I'm a little curious, Miss Guan, how did you escape after General Guan launched his military campaign?"
Guan Xinrui sighed softly, with a complicated expression. After a while, he said: "In order to save me, my father swapped me with a maid who looked similar to me. In the end, I was escorted to Hanyaoting... Father
My old subordinates, namely Youlan’s father, rescued me, so I can survive until now.”
Li Qi nodded, very sympathetic to her experience, and said, "Since Miss Guan finally escaped from the place of trouble and trouble in Kyoto, I think it's better for you not to go back."
Guan Xinrui shook his head and said: "I have thought about it over the years. There is nothing in this world worth fearing. Now I only have Lian Lang as a relative. As long as I can accompany him, I will go with him even in the dragon's den and the tiger's den."
