After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 322 One Arrow

September 23, 26rd year of Shi Zhaohua.

Starting from Kyoto, the bandit suppression team walked for ten days, and finally arrived at the foot of Shilipo Mountain in the evening of this day.

There was nothing unusual along the way.

Ning Zhixing never said a word to Li Chenan again, so it should be true that he really gave up.

The girl riding a donkey would only chat with Li Chenan when eating, not about the Wanxi Zhai or the disciples in the Wanxi Zhai, and she rarely even talked about Jianghu affairs.

What she was more curious about was Li Chenan's strange behavior as he walked slowly along the way——

He'd always be out in those fields at noon or evening when the party was camping!
He even went to two popular villages with the two Mu Shandao knives on two nights!
She didn't follow the first night, but she went the second night.

Then I saw Li Chenan sitting on the threshold of a dilapidated room chatting with an old man in rags!
This was beyond Xiao Baozi's expectation.

Because she knew that the current Li Chenan had a high status, and there were even rumors of the eldest son of the emperor.

Even though she has been living in Wanxi Zhai, she has read the whole book on the first floor left by her master, and naturally knows what is secular from the book.

There are masters in the rivers and lakes, and the masters dismiss the low hands.

There are grades in the temple, and the lower ranks obey the orders of the higher ranks.

There are even more grades in the world, and it is difficult to look at each other, let alone sit and chat together.

But Li Chen'an really chatted with that old man for a whole hour!
At first, the old man was afraid.

But Li Chen'an seemed to have forgotten his identity, he put himself extremely low, and spoke casually, without the aloofness of a literati, let alone the arrogance of the eldest son of the emperor.

He is very good at seducing the other party to talk.

So unconsciously, the old man also seemed to ignore his dark and clean clothes, which were expensive at first glance, and gradually started talking.

The two actually talked about exorbitant taxes from farming, and then from silkworms to bad governance.

In the end, the topic came to this, because the old farmer didn't dare to talk anymore, even though it seemed like he wanted to talk.

Li Chenan naturally didn't force it, and then bid farewell and left.

From Xiao Baozi's point of view, these behaviors of Li Chen'an are certainly not aimless.

"I thought you would give the old man a few taels of silver..."

Xiao Baozi raised his eyes to look at Li Chen'an, and sat lazily on the stool, as if he felt a little uncomfortable, so she changed her posture again, and said:

"After all, the old man is really pitiful. He has to wait on more than ten acres of crops, and he has two grandchildren with him. The family can't open the pot anymore, and the wild vegetables picked from the mountains are not enough to fill the stomachs of the grandparents."

Li Chenan pondered for a moment, "This is not a problem that can be solved by giving a few taels of silver. If the root cause of this problem is not solved, their life will never be sustainable."

Xiao Baozi's slender eyes widened, "Where is the root of the problem?"

"If people who are as hardworking as that old farmer can't eat enough, if the people in the world rely on their hardworking hands, they will be pale and emaciated from hunger..."

Li Chenan poured Xiao Baozi a cup of tea, "If a businessman can't get a few taels of silver after working hard for a year, if a craftsman is tired and sick but can't even pay for the treatment... then this country is in trouble. question."

"The root lies above the temple!"

Xiao Baozi took the teacup and took a sip with his mouth pouting, then raised his eyes to Li Chenan, "Then how should I treat it?"

Li Chenan didn't answer, he smiled slightly: "Tell me your name first."

Baozi Xiao put down the teacup, and gave him a sideways glance, "Go and ask the Prime Minister!"

Li Chenan turned his head and looked, the little black donkey was drinking water by the stream, it was lying on the ground with its buttocks up.

"Who are those people over there?"

Xiao Baozi looked at the group of silver-armored soldiers a little far away before asking.

"Second prince's personal guard."

"Second prince? He also came with you to suppress bandits?"

"No, he came to kill me."

"...Then why didn't you kill him?"

"Go to Shuangjiao Mountain and kill them."

Xiao Baozi's mind froze immediately, and she looked at Li Chen'an again, and there was still a hint of doubt in those eyes that had been calm all along.

She found it difficult to understand the thoughts of the man in front of her.

"Is it necessary to choose a place to kill?"

"There is no need to choose a place, but you have seen that he has so many soldiers after all. If I attack him at this time, my men will also be killed or injured."

Li Chenan also looked at the Silver Armored Army in the distance, "His life is worthless, but my lives are all precious. The arrangement in Shuangjiao Mountain should be completed, and it doesn't take a single soldier to let him die. It's cheaper that way."

Xiao Baozi pondered for a moment, "Now I think you are more like a shrewd businessman, how about I kill him?"

"Wait, there's no rush."

As soon as Li Chenan finished speaking, Baozi Xiao suddenly turned his head and looked at the mountain behind the camp!
This mountain is the mountain before entering Shuangjiao Mountain!

This mountain is not high, but there are many pines and cypresses on the mountain, so it is densely forested.

The sun had already set, and the tired birds should have returned to their nests, but at this moment, a flock of birds flew up on the mountainside about twenty feet away.

Xiao Baozi's slender eyes suddenly narrowed into a line and turned into a slit.

Li Chenan saw Xiao Baozi's strangeness, he also turned his head to look at it, and said a word: "I am the bait, I want to lure one or two masters of the rivers and lakes to show up, if it is the northern beggar Zuoqiu Buming, he can shoot an arrow at most !"

Xiao Baozi ignored his words, she kept looking at the mountainside, and after a while, the flying birds fell back to the tree.

Not one shot came.

But that place at least made a move just now.

"Looks like he ran away."

Li Chenan was looking at Xiao Baozi's eyes at this time, and now he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Xiao Baozi's eyes.

Because she always likes to squint, especially when she wants to observe something.

Could it be myopia?
If this master of the rivers and lakes is short-sighted, he might suffer a lot in a fight.

Xiao Baozi withdrew his gaze, and opened his slender eyes a little, "So you sent the two swords of Mu Shandao away? Just to let Zuoqiu Buming shoot you an arrow?"

"Well, after all, they are here, even if Zuoqiu Buming is a half-step grand master, he can't be sure that he will hit me with an arrow."

"Can you block Zuoqiu Buming's arrow?"

Li Chenan picked up the teacup and shook his head, "I can't, don't you still have you here?"

"...You really are a shrewd businessman."

"What realm are you in?"

Baozi Xiao didn't answer, she stood up, and walked towards the little black donkey swaying like a weak willow supporting the wind.

"Why should I block that arrow for you?"

She walked to the side of the stream, sat on the back of the little black donkey, took off her shoes, and dipped those little white jade feet that Li Chenan couldn't see into the stream.

She was about to wash her feet happily, but she suddenly turned her head to look at the mountain again.

Her eyes narrowed again, and in an instant, she turned her head slightly and frowned, and she heard an extremely faint sound of breaking through the air.

There is a sword in the mountain.

But she already knew that an arrow was really aimed at Li Chenan.

She stretched out her hand and plucked a bunch of donkey hair from the little black donkey's ass.

The little black donkey made a miserable cry, expressing its strong dissatisfaction.

But it was still lying by the stream, not daring to get up.

Xiao Baozi waved his hand.

A tuft of donkey hair flew towards the arrow.

Almost at the same time, she also flew up from the donkey's back.

Because that tuft of donkey hair can't block the arrow of the half-step grand master.

Her body flew in the air, and her hands fell on her waist.

Li Chenan raised his head, and saw that her waistband was suddenly loosened, and her long, wide skirt just burst open like a mushroom.

She flew over Li Chenan's head!

Li Chenan's eyes suddenly widened.

But not because of the flying arrow.

But...

He saw a bright...bright red in the open long skirt!
