Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 145 Action
Li Lijun's silent gaze made Li Shen feel guilty.

He wondered if his little niece believed his words.This kid has always been smart, more clever than adults, maybe he can detect the flaws in his inconsistencies.But so what?Of course he wanted to send Li Lijun to Saga Mountain Bieye to settle down, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to the hidden dangers in Xinzhuangzi.

He had already discussed with the abbot of Qingliang Temple that after sending his little niece to Bieye, he would return to Qingliang Temple tomorrow to join the monks and go to Zhuangzi to eliminate demons together.He always had to deal with all these troublesome things before returning to Beijing to report to his grandfather, to prove that he lived up to his old man's expectations, and he took good care of his little niece along the way.

Therefore, Li Shen met Li Lijun's gaze and continued to maintain his original expression, as if he was not guilty at all: "How is it? How about thinking about it in the car?"

Li Lijun smiled at him, and obediently responded: "Okay."

Of course she saw Li Shen's strangeness, and she could vaguely guess that he probably made an appointment with the monks of Qingliang Temple to take action together, but she didn't know if it was tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and he was going to Liujiazhuang to collect the monster.It is impossible for her to persuade him to take her along with her now, so let him go.Anyway, she had planned to deal with that mouse alone.Pretend to be obedient and obedient, and let Li Shen act according to his own ideas, so she doesn't have to work hard to persuade him.

Li Shen sent her to Saga Mountain Bieye, at least today, it is impossible to separate from her, so there is a high probability that he will meet up with the people from Qingliang Temple tomorrow.So many people want to go to Liujiazhuang together, if not all of them ride horses, it will probably take a day, right?When I arrived at Liujiazhuang, I couldn't see anything at night, so how to find monsters to collect monsters?Li Lijun guessed that they would search around with torches at most tomorrow night, and they didn't have any meat yet.

If she can get rid of that mouse tonight, Li Shen will not be in any danger even if he only takes his own people to Liujiazhuang, let alone the monks from Qingliang Temple!
Li Lijun made up his mind, got into the carriage obediently, and accompanied by Li Shen, went straight to Saga Mountain Biye.

It went very well.Although before she left Mount Saga, the area had only been hit by heavy rain for several days, now there are almost no traces of heavy rain except for some yellow mud pits left by the waterlogging on both sides of the road.The road had been leveled again, and the horses and carts made their way without any setbacks.At noon, they reached their destination.

The manager of the other industry came up to welcome him, with a flattering smile on his face, but a bit of bewilderment in his eyes.He already knew the news that this other property had changed hands.Although the Fourth Lady of the Sui Palace is also a familiar face, she has a good temper and is not difficult to serve, but he is a member of the Zou Palace after all, and the Fourth Lady will always have someone she is used to, so there is no need for him to do things, right?So what will he do in the future?
If he was given to the Fourth Lady of the Sui Palace by the Zou Palace, the position of the Chief Steward would probably be lost.He is old and pampered for many years, what else can he do?Where will the wife and children go?

If he was brought back to Prince Zou's mansion, he would also lose his position as the head of the other industry.There are already people in charge of various industries in Prince Zou's mansion, so what can he do when he goes back?Do you want to be a small steward and please the big stewards every day, or... can't even find a job for the small steward?
The manager of the Bieye was in a mess, and based on instinct, he welcomed the two distinguished young masters into the Bieye, served them tea, and asked his wife to take Nanny Cui and the others to pack the luggage of the new owners.

Li Shen sat down and rested for a while. After drinking tea, he finally had the energy to deal with the manpower of Prince Zou's Mansion in Bieye, so he gave the manager a reassurance: "You let the people in Bieye and the people under Si Niangzi handle it well. When the fourth lady has settled down completely, I will return to the Chang'an Palace to report before the first day of next month. Take a few smart, flexible and strong people with me. I have a new Zhuangzi, which is on the bank of the Jing River , I haven’t visited it yet, and I don’t know what the mess is like there. You go and take care of it for me, and you can stay there and be a farmer.”

Although he was not working for the heir of Prince Zou's mansion, the manager of the other industry was already very pleasantly surprised.He hurriedly kowtowed to Li Shen to thank him, and at Li Shen's urging, he quickly picked someone up.

Li Lijun saw that Li Shen was eager to leave immediately, so he had to speak out to dissuade him: "Uncle Shen, don't worry, we just arrived in Bieye, you should stay for one night anyway, and let me do my best as a landlord, right? Also, I lived here when I was a child. When I came here a few days ago, because of the heavy rain, I could only stay in the main courtyard. I don’t know other places in Bieye. You don’t want to take me around. Come on, let me know which places the Great Uncle has built over the years?"

This is a very reasonable request.Li Shen had no way to refuse, so he had to suppress his inner impulse and agreed to Li Lijun with a smile.

The lunch was prepared by the manager of the other industry in advance, mainly various fungi and dried vegetables produced in the mountains, and the taste was not bad.Li Lijun then excused his lunch break and dragged off the time for half an afternoon. When he took Li Shen to visit the villa, he said that he would invite him to taste the good craftsmanship of his maid for dinner, so Li Shen had no way to leave early.

Evening is rest time.In fact, Li Shen has a courtyard he is used to living in in Bieye, which is hundreds of meters away from the main courtyard where Li Lijun lives, and half a small lake is separated.Li Lijun watched the lights in his room go out early, and knew that he must be planning to get up early tomorrow and leave early to meet the monks at Qingliang Temple.

She is not afraid either.The newly made little black crane has been released after dark, and is currently on its way to Liujiazhuang.She turned around and dismissed the two nuns, and told Mrs. Shao that she was a little tired from the journey today, and she wanted to rest early, so that she could dispel their suspicions.When the door of the room is closed, she only needs to hold Er Hong steady.

Erhong is now obedient to her.Although he was also very worried about the safety of the little lady, Li Lijun repeatedly said that he had learned a lot of skills, and it was no problem to deal with a little mouse. Erhong would never doubt her words.

Yes, Li Lijun has already told Erhong that he has used "fairy means" to investigate. It is a mouse that is causing trouble in Liujiazhuang. It has no special abilities except for growing and shrinking. It only dares to eat it secretly at night. The farmer's livestock, if the farmer makes any movement, it will run away in fright.

Li Lijun is not lying, this is all the information she found out through the little black crane, but it is not clear whether the mouse will only grow bigger and smaller.But to appease Erhong's heart, such rhetoric can be convincing.

Erhong agreed to cover up for Li Lijun, and would tell Nanny Cui and Mrs. Shao what she did tonight until tomorrow.

Li Lijun put on an all-black hooded cloak, put on all kinds of concealed and protective charms, put on light and waterproof leather boots, held a small target mirror in his left hand, and a long steel sword in his right. Smiling at Erhong, she turned around and flew out of the platform, quickly disappearing into the night.
