As soon as Li Qingshu put down his chopsticks, Jing Ruoqiu, the free laborer squatting outside the door, came in to clean up the bowls and chopsticks with a bitter face, and then left silently.

While sitting quietly, Li Qingshu made a pot of tea and passed it to the two of them. While the two were drinking the tea silently, Ling Xiaoran suddenly looked at Master Zhao, and said in a voice like an ice pick, "Master Zhao, do you know what happened yesterday?" Who sent the assassins here?"

Master Zhao paused for a moment, and stopped rubbing Li Qingshu's stomach, and looked at Ling Xiaoran inexplicably: "Well, I checked, but there is no result yet."

Ling Xiaoran said coldly: "When do you need to find out?"

There seemed to be a trace of disdain in his tone, Li Qingshu also sat up straight and looked at the two of them.Master Zhao pursed his lips, and said, "I suspect that it's King Yun's."

Ling Xiaoran looked away, looking at the autumn scenery outside the courtyard: "Go ahead."

Master Zhao pondered and said: "I will always take Qingshu's safety into consideration. The person who wants Qingshu's life the most is probably only King Yun. The court situation has been decided, and he and the little emperor are now fighting in separate courts, fighting openly and secretly. , although the little emperor's foundation is still too weak, he can't safely cut off the little emperor's wings in a short time, so he can only vent his anger on Qing Shu first."

Hearing this, Li Qingshu nodded, and said before Ling Xiaoran: "Huai Jing, you are right, the assassin yesterday was from King Yun. They first lured uncle away, and then sent someone to Come to assassinate me. Unexpectedly, those top-notch assassins are worth nothing in front of my uncle, and they are easily defeated!"

These words are superficially exaggerating Xiao Ran's martial arts skills, but they are actually telling Mr. Zhao the truth about what happened yesterday.Master Zhao immediately understood that although Ling Xiaoran didn't comment, he squinted at Li Qingshu, as if he was blaming him for talking too much.

Mr. Zhao speculated: "It seems that they have planned it for a long time. As early as when we returned to Suzhou, they had already started to act. Because you disappeared suddenly, so... so they followed me to find you?"

Mr. Zhao said in shock, he impatiently grabbed Li Qingshu's hand, but he couldn't let go of his breath no matter what.This is probably the reason why Ling Xiaoran would talk to him.

Li Qingshu was speechless and acquiesced to this fact. Mr. Zhao felt extremely heavy. It was him again who almost killed Li Qingshu.

Ling Xiaoran said indifferently: "A few days ago, some people appeared in the Taoist temple, but they didn't make any moves. They seemed to be helping Xiao Li everywhere, so I didn't care."

There was also a bit of guilt in his words, Li Qingshu hurriedly said: "It's none of your business, the uncles of those people told me a few days ago, I thought it was the second brother... no, I thought they were sent by A Ling, I didn't care about it. But I didn't expect that the assassin sneaked in secretly. Fortunately, we are still alive, so you don't have to feel guilty."

Ling Xiaoran frowned, and remained silent.However, Mr. Zhao caught the seemingly crucial point, and asked: "Song Ling has just arrived in the capital, and he has not yet gained a firm foothold. He will definitely need a lot of manpower. A few days ago, I sent a letter to let you avoid disaster. I didn't have time to show it to you. Song Ling won't send someone for you, Qingshu, it can only be someone sent by Li Qingyan."

Li Qingshu bowed his head and remained silent, as if unwilling to mention this topic, Ling Xiaoran also looked at Master Zhao in a daze, Master Zhao continued: "Could it be another trick by Li Qingyan, in order to make Qing Don't worry, that's why I didn't do anything before..."

"do not talk!"

The person who interrupted him was not Li Qingshu, but Ling Xiaoran, even Li Qingshu looked up at him, Ling Xiaoran asked solemnly: "Little Li, do you really think your second brother is that kind of person?"

Li Qingshu was a little dazed, but he also shook his head stubbornly, pursed his lips and said: "I'm not sure if he is a bad person, he has also done a lot of things for the Li family. However, he will also ask for help to save his life." Give up on me. Last time he was on the street, he had already seen me, but... I am not sure now, whether the second brother will do this or not. "

Ling Xiaoran looked at Li Qingshu's painful face, hesitated to speak, and finally looked at Mr. Zhao, his eyes were very threatening.Master Zhao was even more puzzled, but when Li Qingshu recalled those painful past events, he immediately changed his heart and said: "This is just a guess, and it may be that King Yun used your second brother."

Li Qingshu's eyes lit up instantly, he would rather believe this conclusion, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's all King Yun's fault."

Mr. Zhao said: "Then what should we do now? An assassination failed, and I wonder if they will send someone to assassinate Qingshu again. Mr. Ling, what should we do now?"

Master Zhao was already in a state of desperation, he squeezed Li Qingshu's hand tightly, and questioned Ling Xiaoran desperately.But Ling Xiaoran just said indifferently: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover up, is Mr. Zhao flustered about things that you don't know yet? What's more, you are not incapable of protecting him."

Mr. Zhao was a little confused when he heard it, does this mean that Ling Xiaoran overestimated him?Then Ling Xiaoran turned to Li Qingshu again, and said: "If you rest carefully, your skills will naturally come back slowly. If you can't even save your own life, don't say you are my Ling Xiaoran's nephew."

Only then did Mr. Zhao understand that it wasn't that Ling Xiaoran overestimated him, but that Ling Xiaoran had confidence in Li Qingshu.Li Qingshu was also full of joy about this, "Yes, I understand."

Is this left to fend for themselves?Mr. Zhao didn't know why he thought of this all of a sudden, but he also knew in his heart that Li Qingshu was Ling Xiaoran's only relative. Although Ling Xiaoran seemed cold, he would not really let Li Qingshu fall into dire straits. land.

This may be a test for Li Qingshu's survival, or a test for his unrecognized niece and son-in-law.

Then Ling Xiaoran left again, leaving the couple to be alone, but will definitely come to see off guests at night.

Li Qingshu didn't think about anything, and continued to tease Mr. Zhao as usual. Mr. Zhao did seem to be preoccupied. He asked Li Qingshu: "Do you think your second brother really does not obey King Yun's orders?"

Li Qingshu was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Of course I don't want him to be that kind of person, Huai Jing, I didn't want to get involved in this dispute before, but now, they are the ones who don't want to let me go."

Master Zhao nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "It doesn't matter, since you can't escape, then face the enemy head-on."

Li Qingshu asked in a daze, "Huaijing, what are you?"

Mr. Zhao shook his head, and said with a slight smile, "Let's go back to Chang'an for Chinese New Year this year. My parents want to see you, and my grandfather also wants to see you."

"Your grandfather?"

Li Qingshu's eyes widened, and he looked at Mr. Zhao in disbelief. The corners of his lips curled up, and he sighed with a smile: "Then, there will be a good show to watch."

Mr. Zhao also smiled and said, "I've risked everything for you. My grandfather ordered me to take care of you. If there are still dangers in the future, don't be afraid. He has already sent someone down."

"Mr. Zhao Ge is really generous." Li Qingshu smiled, and suddenly said: "No wonder my uncle said that just now, it turns out that you have hidden something in Huaijing."

He thought for a while, and muttered with some dissatisfaction: "You have correspondence with your grandfather, and you didn't tell me!"

Mr. Zhao explained: "When I was in Suzhou, I asked my uncle to secretly bring him a letter under the pretext of giving him a birthday gift, but I didn't reply for a long time. I thought he was unwilling to set foot in this temple. He didn’t say anything, but his reply letter just arrived a few days ago, and he asked my uncle to come over from Hangzhou to talk to me in detail.”

The Zhao family has been silent for so long, now is the time to make a decision, if they do not choose King Yun, they can only choose the little emperor, but the little emperor is still too young, the Zhao family is not willing to be the second Li family.

But Li Qingshu's identity is different, he is a descendant of the Li family, because of Li Qingyan's rebellion, he has already lost the hearts of the people.It is very likely that the former members of the Li family will come to join him because of the news that Li Qingshu is still alive.

Even if the Zhao family has no intention of choosing a side at this time, they may not necessarily give up Li Qingshu's important bargaining chip.

So after Mr. Zhao bound himself and Li Qingshu together, his grandfather, the former founding veteran Zhao Ge, finally chose to help them.But there was one thing Li Qingshu didn't want to understand. He frowned and looked at Mr. Zhao with an angry face: "You wrote to your grandfather a long time ago, but you still want to drive me away and divorce me! Zhao Huaijing, Are you kidding me all this time?"

Li Qingshu always smiled in front of him. He had never been so anxious and worried about his body. Mr. Zhao hurriedly supported him, and explained in a warm voice: "Since leaving the Zhao family, Dad has been Just told me not to disturb my grandfather, I really didn't expect my grandfather to agree to help us. I did the crime myself before, I know I was wrong, don't be angry."

Li Qingshu also understood that this was the case, but he just couldn't understand it. He was angry and said angrily, "You were so bad a while ago, you are not like the Zhao Huaijing I know, no wonder uncle hates you so much , I don't like you anymore!"

"What did you say?"

Master Zhao frowned and looked at Li Qingshu, with anger and coldness in his eyes, Li Qingshu became even more angry, his attitude towards him was not good, he wanted to bully himself instead.

Li Qingshu poked his neck and said: "I said I hate you, who told you to bully me!"

Mr. Zhao remained silent for a long while, but clenched his fists tightly, but first showed weakness in the tense gaze with Li Qingshu, and pulled his hands up and sighed in a soft voice: "Now it's up to you, wait for your body Alright, I'll take care of you again."

Li Qingshu was annoyed, pointed at himself, and said: "You are wrong, and you still want to punish me?" He shook off Mr. Zhao, and sneered: "You have a beautiful idea! At worst, I will go with uncle, and I will never leave again. Don't see you anymore!"

"Are you willing to?"

There was a bit of a smile in the words, but Mr. Zhao calmed down now, and thought Li Qingshu who was throwing a temper was very cute.

His beautiful peach blossom eyes stared straight at the angry Li Qingshu, the other party snorted heavily and turned his face away, really pissed off.Then Master Zhao approached him with a smile, and Yu Yingrun kissed that fair cheek by the fair ear, and Li Qingshu shrank back reluctantly.

Mr. Zhao didn't care about it, and smiled with deep meaning in his eyes: "You yourself lied to me, don't you know your mistake?"

There was ridicule in his eyes, Li Qingshu thought of something in an instant, and blushed slightly: "I don't know what you are talking about."

Mr. Zhao said indifferently: "I saw the book hidden under the table. I'm more curious. Where did you find it in this kind of place? Also, last time you sneaked home, you still wanted to take advantage of it. What did I do when I was drunk, but I didn't succeed, and then, what did you do?"

As he got closer and closer, Li Qingshu backed away blushing, unwilling to admit it: "I don't know what you're talking about..."

Master Zhao sighed, took his hand and pressed it on his chest, the thumping heartbeat seemed to have infected Li Qingshu and made him calm down slowly, then Master Zhao said to him helplessly: "I made a mistake before, I Use the rest of my life to compensate you, fight and scold you as you please, work hard and bear no complaints, is that okay?"

Li Qingshu was stunned for a moment, pursed the corners of his lips and said, "How do I know, whether you can speak or not doesn't count."

Mr. Zhao thought for a while in distress, then raised his head, looked at Li Qingshu's face, approached slowly, with a dignified expression, and the other person asked in a panic, "What are you going to do... um..."

Before he finished speaking, Master Zhao blocked his lips and kissed him on the lips, but he left immediately.He looked at Li Qingshu and said solemnly: "You can use your whole life to verify my words."

When they looked at each other again, the cheeks of both sides were flushed, spreading to the roots of their ears.But Li Qingshu had a wonderful feeling in his heart, it seemed that something was breaking its shell and sprouting, slowly growing and blooming, and the gentle water-like warmth spread to all limbs and bones, something seemed different from before up.
