Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1136 The grace of saving lives
Xue Na was really wronged.

After listening to Li Qinzai's persuasion, Xue Na no longer boasted about his achievements, and learned to keep a low profile.

But, low-key can't be low to the dust, right?

When he was on the ship, Xue Na was complacent, thinking that he would be greeted by the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers. He hung big red flowers on his chest, and walked off the ship amidst the cheers of thousands of people.

As a result, no one cared about him at all, and all the disciples of Li Qinzai's family came to greet him. He was regarded as a little transparent, mixed in the crowd and drifted with the crowd, and finally disappeared in the crowd.

How could Mr. Xue bear this kind of anger?

He came here as a hero, and his deeds have spread throughout the army, everyone knows, this time when I return to Chang'an, I will wait for the emperor to reward me, but you treat me like air?
"Give me an explanation, or I'll roll all over the floor, and see if you lose face!" Xue Na yelled angrily, tugging at Li Sujie's arm.

Li Sujie hurriedly said: "Xue...well, we have heard about your achievements, and I have been looking for you just now, and I want you to tell us how you were able to descend into a city by yourself. This matter has already been reported to the emperor." Before the case, the emperor praised you more than once in front of the officials."

Xue Na's eyebrows brightened when he heard it: "The emperor also knows my credit? Did he really praise me?"

Li Sujie has a serious face: "Of course, when my father convened the prince and princess's family dinner in the palace, he often said that we are born as human beings, and we should follow Jing Chu's words and be loyal to our family and country..."

Xue Na only felt a hum in his head, and his soul sublimated.

"The emperor is absurd, absurd! Hehe, haha, hahahaha!" Xue Na looked up to the sky and laughed.

Li Qinzai's words of persuading him to keep a low profile, of course he remembered at this moment, didn't he humbly say "absurd praise"?

I really want to laugh, I can't suppress my nature.

Li Sujie looked at him speechlessly.

Although he is a little disrespectful to his elders, but... this idiot doesn't look like someone who has made great achievements.

"If there is nothing else tonight, I will invite the princes and princesses to a banquet, and I will tell you about the magnificent Goguryeo battlefield." Xue Na still looked up to the sky and laughed endlessly.

Li Sujie blinked: "I have to wait on Mr. at night, or...won't bother you when I get back to Chang'an?"

"It doesn't matter, let's talk about it when we return to Chang'an, haha, I have wine and stories, you are blessed."

…………

Li Qinzai was half lying in the wing room, and the weather was a little cold. He was covered with a thick silk quilt, and there was still a charcoal fire beside him, and the room was steaming.

There was a small earthenware pot on the charcoal fire, in which was boiling soup. Cui Jie sat beside the charcoal fire, staring at the timing incense burner without blinking, silently counting the cooking time of the medicine.

After the soup boiled, Cui Jie poured the medicinal soup from the clay pot into a bowl, and put it aside to wait for it to cool down.

Putting two sweet potatoes on the charcoal fire to roast, he turned his head and smiled at him: "Husband, now sweet potatoes have been planted all over Guanzhong and Jiangnan, and the output is not small. All the people in the world are grateful for your kindness."

"The folks have left a lot of seedlings, we can eat them openly, and I will roast two for you to try."

Li Qinzai shook his head: "Eat this thing fresh. It is used to save people's lives during famines. It can be mixed with rice on weekdays and eaten as a coarse grain to nourish the stomach."

"I want to eat meat, and the injured person just wants to eat a big oily elbow."

Cui Jie hesitated for a moment, then said: "Can my husband eat meat... My concubine asked someone to find a doctor in the city to ask, but I dare not be careless, I finally got my life back from the battlefield, if I eat meat because of a few bites Eating and aggravating the injury, it's not wrong."

Just as he was about to go out, an announcement came from outside the door.

Qi Zheng, governor of Dengzhou, asked for an interview outside the door, and asked for instructions.

Cui Jie looked at Li Qinzai, and Li Qinzai raised his chin, motioning for Qi Zheng to come in.

After entering the door, Qi Zheng was very respectful, not only because of Li Qinzai's status and title, but also because of his deeds on the Goguryeo battlefield.

"What's the matter with Governor Qi?" Li Qinzai asked with a smile.

Qi Zheng said respectfully: "Yesterday, before Li County Lord's ship arrived in Dengzhou, there was a fight outside the city. This matter is related to Li County Lord, and the officials dare not hide it."

Then Qi Zheng told the whole story of the fight that happened outside Dengzhou city yesterday.

Li Qinzai stared at Cui Jie in shock when he heard that several Dengzhou fishermen risked their lives to fight the Goguryeo assassins for him who had never known him before.

"The last young man, who claims to be a knight-errant?" Li Qinzai asked, "Did you leave your name?"

Qi Zheng shook his head: "After killing all the assassins, this man left gracefully. According to the fishermen, he also did it for Li County Duke."

"The lower officials neglected their duties. I didn't expect Goguryeo assassins to infiltrate the ground in Dengzhou. They almost murdered the county magistrate Li. Please punish the magistrate Li." Qi Zheng pleaded guilty with his head bowed.

Li Qinzai shook his head, Qi Zheng couldn't be blamed for this kind of thing.

"Where are the remaining fishermen?" Li Qinzai asked.

Qi Zheng said: "They were all arranged by the officials to stay in an inn in Dengzhou City."

Cui Jie said solemnly from the side: "Thank you for saving your life, Governor Qi please invite these fishermen, and the families of those fishermen who died in the battle, as well, my wife and I want to thank you face to face. "

Qi Zheng left in response.

Not long after, a few fishermen and a group of men and women in white filial piety came to the gate of the posthouse, with nervous expressions on their faces.

Supported by Cui Jie, Li Qinzai stood outside the posthouse and greeted them personally.

Behind the husband and wife are Li Sujie and other disciples and trilogy.

Seeing the fishermen coming, Li Qinzai stepped forward and took two difficult steps, and the couple slowly bowed to the fishermen.

"My lord, Li Qinzai, thank you for your generous rescue."

The fishermen's eyes widened in amazement, and when they heard that the man in front of them was Li Shuai, whom they were desperately protecting, they immediately became excited.

"Shuai Li, it's Shuai Li!" the fishermen shouted with forgetfulness.

But the middle-aged fisherman knelt down on his knees and said in fear: "The lowly people, who do some trivial things, dare to be a gift to Li Shuai, and they will ruin the little people."

The rest of the people also came back to their senses, and hurriedly followed him and knelt down together.

Li Qinzai stepped forward to help the middle-aged fisherman up, and said with a wry smile, "You saved my life and kneeled down for me, thanks to your panic, you are the ones who broke me. Please, everyone."

Li Sujie and other disciples stepped forward one after another and helped the fishermen and the family members of the deceased to their feet.

Qi Zheng stood beside him with a smile, and he didn't know if it was because of Li Qinzai's strength, so he told the fishermen that the one who helped them up was Li Shuai's disciple, who is also the current prince and princess, the fishermen turned pale with fright, and knelt down again up.

Li Qinzai glanced at Qi Zheng: "The talk is so secretive, why don't you change your career to become an official media?"

Qi Zheng shivered, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly confessed.

After helping a group of fishermen and their families, Li Qinzai personally invited them to sit in the post.

One arm was supported by Cui Jie, while Li Qinzai's other arm supported the middle-aged fisherman's elbow, and the three of them walked in parallel.

As for the shabby and shabby clothes of the fishermen, and the fishy smell that could not be concealed, Li Qinzai seemed to have not smelled it at all, and walked very close to everyone without disgust.

The fishermen were more and more moved. Watching his words and deeds, this Li Shuai didn't have the arrogance of a dignitary, but was very kind and friendly. In him, there seemed to be no class barriers at all.

It's worth fighting for such a person in this life!
