Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 176 Didn't I Save You?
Li Ji said in a low voice, "Where's your baggage? Where did it go?"

Is it easy for him to rush all the way? When he woke up early in the morning, he found that many of his wife's jewelry were gone. Thinking that it was impossible for him to be stolen, he suddenly remembered that the emperor and the empress were going on a trip.

Although outsiders don't know about this, how can he, the son-in-law, not know about it?
Qianxi's eyes widened immediately: "How do you know?"

Li Ji stroked his forehead, even though he was a general, it didn't mean he was uneducated and stupid.

Your things are gone, how careless I am to not find out!
"Qianxi, good lady, don't leave me and run away, shall we stay in the capital?"

He begged in a low voice, what's the matter? Why did he have such a girl, but she still eats her to death.

Thinking of Li Ji, he felt sad.

Qianxi rolled her eyes, looked at her brother and sister who were talking ghostly, and whispered something in Li Ji's ear.

Li Ji opened his eyes wide and shook his head.

"No, it can't be like this, it's too dangerous!"

Qianxi snorted: "If I don't do it, I'll leave by myself."

Li Ji frowned: "What if they don't take you?"

Qianxi didn't know what it means to be thick-skinned at all, and said with a smile: "I'm just pestering, I'm just playing tricks!"

Li Ji's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he looked at his wife with admiration: "I am convinced, I, Li Ji, am really convinced!"

Qianxi raised her head triumphantly, looking at herself with composure, isn't she, she is amazing!
This couple is really Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

Lele noticed that her younger sister and her brother-in-law were whispering to each other strangely, turned her head and said to Mei Muran: "Look, husband, I always feel that my younger sister is planning some bad idea."

Mei Muran is a gentle and elegant person, he is always gentle and courteous in dealing with people and things, but he has a headache for his sister-in-law Qianxi, and he must hide every time he sees her.

Fortunately, the wicked have their own way, and Li Ji took this girl.

At this moment, he also frowned and said, "Aren't they always like this?"

Lele said in her heart, this girl is so happy today, I feel very sad when thinking about the departure of the queen mother and father, how can she be so happy?

Looking back, I thought, "This girl doesn't want to run away with her father, queen mother, does she?"

Mei Muran was dumbfounded: "No way?"

Lele was also taken aback, Mei Muran didn't believe it, it was because he didn't understand little sister.

However, obviously, Mei Muran still underestimated Qianxi's boldness.

This girl not only wanted to run by herself, but also wanted to drag her husband to run with her.

In the afternoon, Xiao Mingrui and Murong Wei said some farewell words with their children. They planned to leave Beijing in the afternoon, and they could go to Tongzhou just before dark, and then they could choose to go south by official ship or ride a horse.

Hutou originally wanted to become the Supreme Emperor to patrol the south of the Yangtze River, but Xiao Mingrui didn't want to waste his life and money, and Murong Wei didn't want to attract attention all the way. News that the emperor and the queen mother went to Mount Wutai to escape the summer heat.

Qianxi was uncharacteristically quiet today, when Xiao Mingrui and Murong Wei got into the carriage, the guards in plainclothes accompanied them, and left Feiyuan, Hutou and others personally sent them out of the city.

Xiao Mingrui didn't like parting, so he didn't let them see him off again, so the chariots and horses gradually disappeared in the distance of the long pavilion outside the capital.

Qianxi rolled her eyes, and suddenly asked Li Ji to take her to ride a horse to relax, saying that she was too sad for her parents to leave, and she wanted to relax, so she broke away from her brothers and sisters, took a detour with her husband, and chased after her.

Lele originally came to see Li Ji following, thinking that it must be fine, but who knew that after returning to Beijing, she learned that Qianxi and Li Ji had never returned to the residence at all.

Only then did Lele realize that they might have gone after their parents.

When Hutou got the news, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while, and ordered people to chase him, fearing that if there was another mistake, it would be terrible.

Xiao Mingrui and Murong Wei didn't realize that their daughter followed them.

The husband and wife left Beijing just in time for March when the pink willows and green swallows are playing in spring. They walked along the official road, all the way out of the capital and went south, and in the evening, they arrived at Tongzhou Port.

There are quite a lot of people traveling from south to north here, because it is relatively close to the capital, and it is also very prosperous.

The husband and wife packed lightly, and when they arrived in Tongzhou, they checked into the inn in Tongzhou City. The surrounding guards had already arranged for them to stay in the private courtyard of the inn. This time, besides Lu Fei, there was Murong Wei who was waiting in front of him. Some of the maids in the palace are not able to come out often, and they are very excited.

Murong Wei opened the window on the second floor facing the pier, admiring the bustling scenery outside.

Suddenly, she saw a few people galloping across the street on horseback. Murong Wei had sharp eyes, and seemed to see a familiar figure. When she paid attention again, she found that those people had disappeared.

"Strange, why do you look so much like Qianxi?"

Murong Wei muttered to herself, then shook her head again, "Really, it's been so long since I left, I'm hallucinating."

Xiao Mingrui heard it from the side, and laughed: "You, don't worry about the children, they are all married, what else should we worry about?"

Murong Wei laughed, "Yes."

Then he forgot about this matter, and went out of the inn with Xiao Mingrui to visit Tongzhou Town. Murong Wei hadn't visited Tongzhou much before, but this time was the most comfortable time for the two of them, without the shackles of identity , It feels really good to be an ordinary person.

The two walked around the ancient city, and Xiao Mingrui mentioned that there was a restaurant in Tongzhou that had some good signature dishes, and Murong Wei was a little eager to try them. She is a person who likes food the most, and has never had much resistance to these.

The two went to the natural building in Tongzhou City for dinner, and after entering the natural building, Murong Wei's eyes widened. She looked at everything around her in amazement, and suddenly had a strange illusion that she had time traveled.

The decoration of this hotel is very modern, simple and stylish, full of the taste of the 21st century. The shop assistants who come and go wear improved Chinese tunic suits, and everything makes Murong Wei a little crazy.

What's going on here, she couldn't have time-traveled, right?
Oh, no, of course, she still didn't time travel, so the obvious thing is that someone must have time travel, and this person obviously came from the same place as her.

The reason for making such a judgment is that, although that woman did some things related to modern times because of Xie Mingyan’s appearance back then, such as hot pot restaurants, membership system, etc., but those were only based on local customs. The increase, the style has not changed much, but there are more promotional means.

However, the decoration of this natural building is simply the decoration that Murong Wei used to see many years ago, and the Chinese tunic suits they wore were so obvious, if they didn't come from the same place as her, how would they know the Chinese tunic suits?

Seeing Murong Wei's expression, Xiao Mingrui asked plainly: "Are you surprised? I was also surprised when I first came here. I heard that the owner's friend is Xiyi. I wonder why the name of this shop is so strange."

The corners of Murong Wei's eyes twitched, Xi Yi, she knows that there is no such style in Xi Yi at this stage!
What's more, those Chinese tunic suits really made her feel like she was time-traveling, and even more cordial. She was somewhat moved to see such a scene again after a long time.

"It's really strange...I really don't know what kind of person can make such a weird thing." Murong Wei said, but her eyes were looking at the natural building.

This restaurant has three floors, each floor is connected by a spiral staircase, which is very elegant and unique. There is a stage on the first floor. At this moment, a father and daughter are singing an opera, and there are a few accompanists beside them. It is also very lively. Many people's attention.

It was time for dinner, and there were more guests coming and going. The couple went up to the second floor and chose a semi-open private room, from which they could see the stage below. The whole second floor was a circle, quite Similar to the shape of an opera house.

Xiao Er came in and served tea and a fruit platter, Murong Wei looked at the colorful fruit platter, but she was even more convinced of the matter in her heart.

Immediately calmly asked what signature dishes this restaurant has, and how the owner made the restaurant such a style.

Xiaoer was eloquent, and after a while, he explained clearly the signature dishes of the shop, and even said that the owner of the shop is a couple.

When Murong Wei saw those signature dishes, she couldn't help being a little tempted.

Xiao Mingrui saw that she was so interested in these things, which is really rare, so he thought for a while and said, "Why don't you ask the boss to come and ask him if he can let the cook out."

Murong Wei hesitated: "That's unnecessary, at least he can benefit the common people."

Xiao Mingrui laughed and said, "Just call and ask."

After that, he asked Lu Fei to invite the owner of the restaurant, and Lu Fei told the waiter directly, and the waiter was in trouble: "Ah, I don't know what's the matter with your master and wife?"

Lu Fei said displeased: "If you tell your boss to come, come here, my master has something to ask."

From Lu Fei's point of view, when the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager meet a shop owner, the shop owner is really smoky from his ancestral grave, and he is still yelling?

The shop clerk saw the scene, he also had good eyesight, he saw that Xiao Mingrui and Murong Wei were not ordinary people, they must be noble people, so he went to the boss.

At this moment, the opera was still being sung on the stage on the first floor, and the tune was actually beautiful. Murong Wei and Xiao Mingrui listened to the tune while eating. At dusk, the sun was setting, and Tongzhou at dusk was even more moving.

The boss of Tianran Building arrived. He was a young man in his 20s. He wore a tufted satin robe. When he entered the private room, he saw a couple with extraordinary temperament talking and laughing. I wonder if there is anything you two can do for you?"

Seeing that it was a young man, Murong Wei murmured to herself, could it be that the person who traveled through time was a man?
"My wife sees that the food in your restaurant is good, and I would like to ask you to give up the cook, and we are willing to pay for it."

Lu Bing's complexion changed. Seeing that the middle-aged man's imposing manner was extraordinary, his glance gave him a lot of pressure. He knew that he was either an official or a relative of the emperor, so he didn't dare to offend him, so he smiled wryly: "You two like this Naturally, the villain is happy with the dishes cooked by the cook, but the current chef of the natural building is a relative of my family, so he may not be willing to leave."

Murong Wei waved her hand and said, "If that's the case, I can't force it. I wonder if I can write down the method?"

Originally, these are the secrets of every cook, and it is difficult to give them to outsiders, but facing this couple, and the old man outside with a white face and strange speech, Lu Fei, Lu Bing is already guessing whether it is a child of the clan. Otherwise, the beardless man would look like a eunuch no matter what.

Lu Bing fully agreed, and said he would go down to give orders, but Murong Wei smiled and said, "It's okay, just take a look at this."

She brought over a piece of paper.

Xiao Mingrui looked at her in surprise, but saw the words written on it... Heavenly King Gaidihu.

Lu Bing took it over and looked at it, his face suddenly became weird. He was stunned for a long time, and asked tentatively: "The pagoda suppresses the river demon?"

Murong Wei rubbed her forehead, she couldn't laugh or cry, she didn't expect that there would be a day to match her slogans with others, so she asked, "You know this too?"

Lu Bing nodded with a strange expression: "Yes, madam, how do you know? No, I just want to ask, do you know my mother?"

Murong Wei raised her eyebrows, "Is this shop designed by your mother?"

"Yes, my mother made it."

Murong Wei nodded, so she was a time-traveling woman, and she was probably about the same age as her.

"Is your mother here?"

"You are my mother's old acquaintance? She and my father have gone to the south of the Yangtze River, and they will not come back for at least a year or so. Or, next time I send a letter to them, write a letter to them?" Lu Bing eagerly asked : "My mother said that if I meet strange people, I should pay attention to them. I didn't expect to meet them... Are you a fellow villager with my mother?"

Lu Fei, who was waiting beside him, widened his eyes: "Presumptuous, how could Madam be a fellow villager with your mother?"

Xiao Mingrui looked at Murong Wei with a strange expression, and said lightly, "Wei'er, do you know his mother?"

Murong Wei shook her head: "I don't know."

She smiled and said to Lu Bing: "You don't have to send a letter to your parents, I just asked casually."

She didn't want to disturb other people's lives, and she didn't want to recognize other time-traveling women.

Now that you know that people live happily, why do you need to ask more questions?

Lu Bing was dumbfounded, and then left with some depression.

At this moment, something happened on the lower floor, and there was a commotion.

It turned out that there was a son from other places below, who fell in love with the girl singing on the stage, and was instructing his servants to let the girl go with him and be his maid.

The spectators around whispered, there are actually people who want to rob someone under the feet of the emperor. Although he is an actor, is this too arrogant?
"It's inevitable that you come from outside and don't know the situation in the capital."

"Let's see which official's young master it is, tsk tsk, this time there is a good show to watch, Daqin Law didn't say that open trading of people is allowed."

Xiao Mingrui frowned and looked, "Check which official's son this is."

Murong Wei snorted: "I hate this kind of dude the most, bullying others, it's really annoying to watch."

Xiao Mingrui also didn't like this kind of person very much, it seems that this official who has no way to teach his son is going to have bad luck because of his son.

Seeing this situation, Lu Bing went over to persuade him, but the young master with eyes on the top of his head didn't pay attention to people at all. The father and daughter have been singing here for a year, Lu Bing He has always taken good care of them, but seeing this situation now, he can't help but think of the couple on the second floor.

Who knew that before this young master started to make a fuss, a young man in white came out next to him, pointed at the son and scolded: "Is the foot of the capital the place where you bully others? You don't even look at what kind of territory this is, today This son is in charge of this matter. Let's see who can snatch him away."

Everyone then turned their attention to the young man in white, and saw that she was wearing a moon white straight dress, a six-in-one hat, a fan bag around her waist, and an ivory-handled fan in her hand, with a jade face and vermilion lips. is pretty.

Murong Wei was paying attention to the affairs here, when she suddenly saw this young man, she took a closer look, opened her small mouth, and shouted in astonishment: "Husband, look, isn't that our Qianxi?"

Xiao Mingrui took a look, it was not, don't look at that girl changed into a man's clothes, but how could their parents not recognize it!

"Nonsense, why did this girl follow?"

Xiao Mingrui's face was ugly: "What does she look like? She came out disguised as a man. Doesn't she think it's dangerous to be alone?"

Murong Wei pointed to the side with a strange expression; "Your son-in-law is also here."

That's right, just as Qianxi ran out, the singing girl who was still crying hid behind her, begging Qianxi to save her.

Qianxi patted her chest and picked up her big bag, proudly pointing at the unattractive Mr. Liu and shouting: "This matter is in the hands of Mr. Liu, don't worry about this girl, I'll see who can snatch her from me. "

"Qian...cough cough, Brother Xiao." A young man in green shirt hurriedly tugged on her sleeve, his handsome face was full of distress, look at his lady, she is not a young man, but when she sees injustice, she draws her sword to help up.

She took care of everything without knowing anything, how is she going to arrange for others?
Li Ji pessimistically believes that if they don't reunite with their father, queen and queen sooner, it will be a big problem whether they can reach Jiangnan safely.

If you don't reveal your identity, acting arrogantly like this is indeed a very dangerous thing.

But, revealing their identities, oh, do you want to say that the princess and the son-in-law fled the capital privately?

What is this.

"Let's break this matter down first, and then we'll talk about it after we figure it out." Li Ji said seriously: "Young Master Liu, there is no reason in the laws of the Great Qin to force someone to be a handmaid, if you must, then you can only report to the official. "

Mr. Liu was annoyed, and Qianxi suddenly jumped out and pointed at him and scolded him. She would sneer and say, "Reporter, you go and report. My father is Liu Bi. I see who dares to sue!"

"Uncle Liu Bi?"

Qianxi's eyes widened, and she was amazed: "It's really unexpected that Liu Bi, who is usually very frugal, has such a prodigal son. Is your father really Liu Bi?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Xiao Mingrui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, looked at the scene below from the high seat, and shook his head: "I really didn't expect Liu Bi to have such a son, Liu Bi's reputation will be completely ruined by this this time."

Murong Wei smiled and said: "That's hard to say, if this son doesn't often teach by his father's side, it's inevitable that the old man will be too pampered."

"However, let's just watch these two children mess around like this? What is this girl doing here?"

Murong Wei said angrily: "It's not something you're used to, you're usually bold, this time she must have seen us go out to play, she felt itchy and wanted to come out, but she was afraid that we wouldn't take her, so she ran out by herself. "

Xiao Mingrui laughed and said, "Could it be that I got used to my daughter?"

Murong Wei blinked her eyes, "Don't look at me, you usually spoil her too much."

"You don't have too much, do you?"

The husband and wife started bickering, looking at the situation below, they were just fooling around.

Since the two children were going to make a fuss, they didn't plan to make a move for the time being, but let the guards around them go over to see the situation, lest someone accidentally hurt the princess and the consort later.

"You dare to slander the imperial court officials, you deserve to die!" Mr. Liu was ridiculed by her so that his face turned green and pale, and his face became so ugly that he lost his temper just by looking at it, and he was about to send someone to beat him up and arrest him.

If it was an ordinary person, they would really dare not have conflicts with the young master of the cabinet, but who is Qianxi, she is a princess, how could she take such a prodigal thing to heart.

Seeing that Mr. Liu was about to hit someone, Qianxi yelled out of fear of chaos: "Tsk tsk, I'm going to hit someone, come here, why don't you hurry up and report to the police? Brother Li, it's up to you. You have superb martial arts skills, and you can definitely beat people to the ground."

Li Ji didn't know whether to laugh or cry, did he feel that his son-in-law had become a thug now?

Seeing these people coming up, Li Ji didn't take them seriously at all. He was a general who had practiced martial arts since he was a child and had even been on the battlefield. How could he take these ordinary servants seriously.

Mr. Liu came out to eat, so of course he didn't bring many people with him. There were only five or six followers here. They bullied Li Ji and Qianxi, who were only two people, so they came here to beat someone.

Murong Wei was a little nervous, but after waiting for a few minutes, she laughed.

"Husband, Li Ji's martial arts is really not bad, he cleaned up people so quickly."

Xiao Mingrui also smiled and said: "That's natural, Qianxi is quite smart to bring Li Ji, otherwise she would have been taken down by someone with her three-legged cat martial arts."

"Li Ji is also messing around, but after all, he is more stable than her."

Li Ji clapped his hands, dusted himself off and said, "Are you still beating? Mr. Liu, I advise you to leave quickly, or you will regret it later."

He has a calm expression, but he is imposing and imposing, and Mr. Liu is not completely stupid. He guessed that these two people must not be ordinary people.

And now that others can't beat them, and they are still booed by the crowd in the restaurant, they immediately blushed, dropped a few words viciously, and left angrily.

Qianxi was still not happy, and said angrily: "Why let him go, it's not over yet."

Li Ji whispered: "My lady, stop making trouble, do you want to make it big and reveal your identity?"

Qianxi quickly shut up.

She followed her secretly, of course she didn't want her parents to find out about them so soon, otherwise they would have to drive her back at this time.

She wanted to wait until halfway through the journey, and then she would be with her parents again. At that time, she was soft-hearted, so it would be hard for them to drive her back.

It was a good wishful thinking, but unfortunately, she didn't know that her parents had seen all these things.

As soon as the matter was over, the father and daughter who sang the opera thanked them both. The girl was still wearing a costume, and she looked very soft and lovely. She was a woman who grew up at the bottom, how could she not see Qianxi's clumsy disguise? Knowing that this was a woman, she immediately lost interest.

"Thank you benefactor for saving me, otherwise my family and my father would be bullied by that villain today."

The girl said to Li Ji with tears in her eyes: "Mr. Li, I am so grateful to you. My family has nothing to repay you. If you don't abandon me, my family is willing to serve you as a slave and a handmaid."

Qianxi's eyes widened. Did she make a mistake? It seemed that she was the one who came out to help. Why did she only thank Li Ji?

Li Ji frowned slightly, took a step back calmly, pulled Qianxi's sleeve and said: "Miss, you are welcome, I don't think Mr. Liu will come to mess around again, you can rest assured."

Li Ji was born with a majestic appearance, and he was indeed a very likable type. No, this girl who was crying just now was moved when she saw Li Ji's appearance and demeanor, and wanted to follow this young master.

This is better than singing, and she didn't want to follow Mr. Liu because he thought Mr. Liu would not treat her too well, and his family is clear.

Qianxi was very angry: "Why do you just thank him, didn't I save you?"

The girl sighed: "Of course it's thanks to you, but if Mr. Li hadn't sent those thugs away, it wouldn't be so easy to solve this matter."

Murong Wei frowned as she watched from above, and snorted.

The girl's ambition was written all over her face, how could she not see clearly.

On the other hand, her family, Qianxi, grew up in a deep palace, and has never been exposed to such things, so she can learn a lot and learn a lesson.
