accomplice

Zuo Ji felt that Li Xi was sticking to him, and he was a little unhappy. Finally, he asked, "Li Xi, shall we sleep with the lights on?"

"I haven't had a good rest for so many days. Wouldn't it be even more difficult to sleep with the light on?"

"But I can't sleep." Zuo Ji pulled the quilt over his shoulders: "Without a light, I would feel unsafe in a strange place."

The lamp lit by this candlestick was already dim, so it didn't affect it at all, and he was eager to light a few more.

Speaking of which, seeing no response from Li Xi, he had no choice but to fall asleep like this.

However, just after lying down for a while, Li Xi came up to him.

"What are you doing?" Zuo Ji had a lot of opinions.

"Aren't you afraid? I'm protecting you."

Li Xi's voice was soft as the hot breath sprayed in Zuo Ji's ears.

Li Xi's arms were really warm.

But Zuo Ji didn't know how to appreciate it.

"I think you are trying to take advantage of me?"

Li Xi smiled lightly.

"Where, the reason why I hold you with confidence is because I know that you will not do anything to me."

oops? !

"What do you mean I won't do anything to you?"

Zuo Ji almost choked on these words.

He wanted to get up, but was suppressed by Li Xi: "Don't make trouble."

"It's not...me!" He struggled, but couldn't move.

This disparity in strength made him even more angry.

"Are you a cow? With so much strength, I..."

As soon as he yelled, Li Xi suddenly got up with a "swoosh", startling him.

What do you want?

The surroundings were pitch black, and Li Xi's expression could not be seen at all.

Angry?

still is……

Zuo Ji thought wrongly, and couldn't help but be surprised.

He panicked and warned: "Don't mess around."

"Then you sleep well, okay?"

"Okay." With a strong desire to survive, Zuo Ji compromised in seconds.

Li Xi lay down again.

Zuo Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, I had no choice but to lie down obediently.

It was a good night's sleep.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he slept soundly until noon the next day.

After waking up and stretching, he was refreshed, and seeing Li Xi's absence, he didn't take it seriously.

After washing himself up, he went to look for it again, but he didn't see where Li Xi was. He felt very hungry, so he went out to find something to eat by himself.

"It's quite lively."

Wandering around in the street, he looked around, thinking about which stall he should eat first, when he was bumped into by someone as soon as he took a step.

He is steady.

The other party exclaimed and staggered, so frightened that he instinctively stretched out his hand to grab it, and embraced Wen Xiangnuanyu in an instant.

"are you OK?"

The sweet smell of fat and powder came out.

The woman raised her eyes and saw his face clearly, her face turned red like a big apple.

"me……"

"Why?" The other party was quite sweet, and Zuo Ji had a good impression of him.

"No... no."

Feeling the woman struggling in his arms, he realized it and let go.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want to take advantage of you, I'm just afraid that you will fall."

The woman was full of shyness, she didn't say anything, she just saluted and thanked him, then hurriedly bowed her head and left.

Zuo Ji felt it was a pity.

Watching her hurried footsteps, feeling depressed in his heart, he suddenly heard: "It's really incredible."

He turned his face and was surprised to see it was Bai Mayan: "Why are you here?"

"I went to the hospital to pick up some medicines."

Bai Mayan approached him and said, "That woman just now...wasn't she beautiful?"

"Not bad." Zuo Ji said frankly.

Bai Mayan smiled, and finally said to him, "Fortunately, you are more beautiful than her."

what?

Zuo Ji was immediately puzzled.

But after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that he touched his purse.

Fortunately, it is still there.

"Don't doubt it, it's not that you didn't steal it, but she stuffed it back for you."

Bai Mayan whispered in his ear, patted him on the shoulder, and walked away.

Zuo Ji was quite surprised, thinking of how complicated this place is, he lost the mood to go shopping, so he went back with him.

Back at the inn, the two of them saw Li Xi coming down the stairs as soon as they stepped in.

Seeing that the two of them came back together, Li Xi's face darkened slightly.

"Where did you go?" Li Xi asked.

"Don't mention it." Zuo Ji sat down at the table and said, "The purse was almost stolen."

"Isn't there?" Bai Mayan smiled, came to sit down, and teased him: "He even hooked other people's souls."

This made Li Xi glance at Zuo Ji displeased.

When he heard that Bai Mayan was looking for trouble for him, he glared at Bai Mayan angrily, and finally, seeing the figure walking around them, he said "Yo", and hurriedly said, "The shopkeeper!"

This voice almost scared the shopkeeper to his knees.

Seeing that Zuo Ji got up and wanted to come towards him, the shopkeeper hurriedly cupped his fists and begged for mercy: "Don't, don't, don't, lord."

This is to know how powerful Zuo Ji is.

Head-on conflict is not worth it.

Li Xi knew that he was deliberately changing the subject so that he would not mess with the shopkeeper.

Li Xi asked, "What are you doing out there?"

"Looking for something to eat." Zuo Ji was very innocent, and said to him, "I can't find you, but I'm hungry."

Hearing that he had looked for him, Li Xi's face softened.

"Isn't there something to eat in this shop?" Li Xi said to him, "If you go out like this, it would be great if you get lost and don't know how to get back."

"Yes, yes, yes." Zuo Ji poured himself a cup of tea, and calmed down: "You are good-looking, and you can say anything."

Li Xi couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Bai Mayan was listening but didn't quite agree, and frowned: "Are you two flirting?"

"Pfft", Zuo Ji choked on a mouthful of tea.

Li Xi hurriedly patted him. He coughed a lot, his face turned red, and he pointed at Bai Mayan. Just as he was about to scold him, he heard someone calling him.

The sound was flustered, coming from upstairs.

The man didn't get a response, so he just ran down from above, Zuo Ji took a closer look, he was Bai Mayan's servant, anxious and flustered, when he saw Bai Mayan, he reported: "The master vomited blood and passed out suddenly! "

When Bai Mayan heard this, he was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately, he ran up.

Zuo Ji and Li Xi felt that the matter was too serious, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and followed to have a look.

Illness comes like a mountain.

Uncle Huang's condition suddenly deteriorated, and the doctor he invited was helpless.

Saving people was the most important thing, so Li Xi had no choice but to order people to pack their luggage, count the number of people, and everyone set off early.

The original two-day journey, everyone traveled day and night, but they just finished it in one and a half days.

Mr. Zhang doesn't live in Yicheng.

But in the depths of the mountains and forests in the outskirts.

Bai Mayan was so anxious that he jumped out of the carriage as soon as he arrived at the place, and shouted in front of the gate of the upper courtyard.

Zuo Ji also got out of the car with Li Xi, looked around here, the barren mountains and ridges, the sun was shining, Zuo Ji asked Li Xi: "What if he is not at home?"

"It's not certain." Li Xi said, "Sometimes he goes to the mountains to collect herbs, and it takes ten days and a half a month to go."

After Li Xi finished speaking, he also went forward, wanting to call the door for Bai Mayan. Zuo Ji looked back and felt that the carriage behind him was moving a bit loudly, so he walked over curiously. The big face was startled.

He gasped and took a step back, the injured woman inside was also frightened by him, went mad, screamed and scratched her face, and finally jumped out of the carriage and ran away.

"Bad?!"

Zuo Ji came to his senses and hurriedly chased after him.

Li Xi heard the commotion, looked back and saw Zuo Ji chasing into the forest, he was very worried and hurried to follow.

When she entered the forest, the woman ran away and disappeared.

Zuo Ji was nervous, seeing the criss-cross vegetation in the forest, which was intricate and unfamiliar, he was afraid of getting lost, so he didn't dare to rush in rashly, thinking whether to go back and call someone, and didn't want to see Li Xi anxiously looking for him as soon as he turned around, his heart immediately settled down. few.

"What about people?"

Zuo Ji shook his head.

Suddenly, they heard the rustling of the bushes not far away.

With a wink in tacit agreement, the two of them flanked left and right, Zuo Ji pushed aside the grass, and the woman rushed out, just as Li Xi was about to make a move, she suddenly pounced on Zuo Ji and knelt down, both of them were startled, only listening: " Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

"I don't know anything! I don't remember anything!" She trembled, hysterical, and cried out in despair: "I didn't say anything! I didn't say anything! I didn't tell her about you trading her son for her son ,I don't!"

She grabbed Zuo Ji's pants: "Let me go! Let me go! Please help me, Mr. Prime Minister! Please let me go! Let me go!!!!"

Both Li Xi and Zuo Ji were stunned.

... Your Excellency the Prime Minister?

"Son for son?" Li Xi was stunned, and thought: "At that time, there were only two baby boys born together, one was Zhong Sheng, and the other..."

"……it's me."

Zuo Ji's words immediately attracted Li Xi to look at him.

The shock in the hearts of both of them was hard to add.

Now, everything suddenly became clear.

Why did Zuo Shicheng want Zuo Ji's life?

It turns out that he and Zhong Sheng are not brothers at all, he has always been Zuo Shicheng's stumbling block.

"...Kill her."

Li Xi was startled when he heard this.

"What did you say?"

Zuo Ji stared at the poor woman in front of him, and said to Li Xi: "I tell you to kill her now, immediately!"
