Chapter 263 Arriving at Liang County
In order to avenge himself and Lin Yongzhong, Li Cunxi put a lot of thought into it.
Not only was Lin Yongzhong equipped with complete equipment, Li Cunxi also prepared a horse for him!
That’s right, this is also the horse used by the person who pretended to be Yuwen Chengdu’s ghost in the Bleeding Eagle case, a hybrid blue BMW!
Ma Rong rode this BMW all the way to Duchang County to serve as Lin Yongzhong's mount.
Li Cunxi even thought about how to commit the crime next, and finally put the blame on the five pirates and the fortune teller.
At the same time, on the other side, in Dayang Mountain, inside a mountain hut.
Qiao Tai knelt on one knee, holding the letter in both hands and handed it to Kui Wenzhong.
"Master, Master asked me to give you this letter."
Kui Wenzhong helped Qiao Tai up, took the envelope from Qiao Tai's hand, carefully opened it, and took out the letter inside.
The content of the letter was very brief, only seven or eight lines. Kui Wenzhong read it carefully, crumpled the letter into a ball with satisfaction, and threw it away.
The letter made a crackling sound in the air, then turned into ashes and disappeared.
Kui Wenzhong came to the workbench, took out the paper, picked up the inkstone and pen, and carefully wrote a reply to Li Cunxi.
Soon, a reply letter was written, and Kui Wenzhong put it in an envelope, saying:
"To my good brother, and tell him something. If he dares to tell me that Xiaohui's last name is Li again, I will beat him up next time we meet."
Qiao Tai didn't know what was going on, so he put the envelope away and walked out quickly.
Kui Wenzhong followed out and watched Qiao Tai mount his horse and ride away.
"That's great. Cunxi has grown up. Father, we brothers will be back to see you soon."
Kui Wenzhong took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and his right hand involuntarily rested on his beard and stroked it gently.
Not long after, the night fell on Dayang Mountain. A figure appeared outside the bamboo forest and came jumping in.
"Wen Zhong, Wen Zhong, what are you doing? Come out and have a drink."
"Xiao Hui, didn't I tell you not to drink? Drinking will affect our performance."
"Just a few drinks, for fun."
Xiaohui raised the wine gourd, and the expression on her little face really made Kui Wenzhong fascinated.
"It's so beautiful." Kui Wenzhong couldn't help but reach out and touch Xiaohui's face.
"You say this every time we meet. Don't you have any other words?" Xiao Hui took a step back and walked around Kui Wen Zhong into the house.
"I'm uneducated." Kui Wenzhong smiled, walked into the house and closed the door.
The dim oil lamp made the room a little brighter, not completely dark, but it was not much better.
Kui Wenzhong and Xiaohui sat face to face, taking turns to eat.
Xiaohui didn't seem very happy today. After drinking two sips, she lowered her head and rested her chin on the table.
"Wen Zhong, how long will it take for the life we are living now to end?" Xiao Hui said, blinking her big eyes.
"When the old master comes out, or when we overthrow Wu Zetian's rule ourselves, it will be the end."
"I don't like this kind of life, always being a mouse in the shadows."
"I don't like it either, but we still have hope. This is the best arrangement."
"How is your brother? Didn't you want revenge? Didn't you say when you would do it?"
"It's almost October."
"Can your brother do it?"
"He can, he's a great..." Kui Wenzhong was stunned for a moment, then emphasized, "A great brother!"
"He is indeed a great brother. I heard from Mo Ling that my elder sister wants to recruit him... A thirteen-year-old junior official in Jingzhao Prefecture, a position that many people can only dream of in their lifetime."
"Please be as confident as I am in placing your future in his hands, Xiaohui. I have a feeling that the old master is back, and if you don't join his army, he will kill you."
"But the old master raised us after all."
"Yes, so I want him to spare the old master's life." Kui Wenzhong raised his head slowly, "Whether it's the eldest sister, Jinghui, Qingxia, Huanbin, Mo Ling and Yingzi, everyone who knows him speaks highly of him. I don't know how the old master can compete with him."
"Alas, old master, it's not that we don't want to help you." Xiao Hui sighed heavily, "Cunxi is my cousin after all, I still have to help my cousin."
……
Ruzhou, Liang County.
Near the bank of the stream, a fishing rod without hooks or bait was hanging on the surface of the river, and the fishing line was floating on the water. The fish came over, but because there was no bait or hook, the fish did not bite the fishing line.
The man holding the pole sat steadily, not worried. Only five or six meters behind him, someone had built a small fire and set up a barbecue grill. On the grill was a stick as thick as a thumb, on which was skewered a fat grouse.
Beside the small fire, dozens of sharpened wooden sticks were skewered with plump crucian carps. Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang, dressed as servants in a noble mansion, were scraping the scales off a big, fat fish, preparing to gut it, dig out the spoils inside and make soup.
Wu Yanhao walked barefoot in the river, using a sharpened wooden stick to poke the big fish in the water.
Most of the fish on the shore were caught by Li Yuanfang, Hu Jinghui and Wu Yanhao with wooden sticks. Li Cunxi, who was fishing, didn't catch a single fish all day.
The pot borrowed from the innkeeper was also placed on the newly built earthenware stove. Li Yuanfang hung the cleaned fish on the tree fork next to it, picked up firewood, started a fire with a flint, and took clean water from the carriage and the seasonings borrowed from the innkeeper to make soup.
Li Cunxi turned around and sighed slowly.
"You fishermen have caught dozens of fish, but I haven't caught even one."
“Cunxi, you are not Jiang Taigong. How can you catch fish without bait and hook?” Hu Jinghui said cheerfully and ran to the shore to wash his hands.
"It will take a while to grill the fish, and the fish soup will take a long time, so you still have plenty of time to fish." Li Yuanfang was also very happy, "This is the first time I see people fishing without hooks and bait."
"I'm bored. I came here to fish yesterday. I brought a hook and bait, but I didn't catch a single fish the whole day. I'm like an air force. I go home empty-handed every day."
Li Cunxi put away the fishing rod and cast it again.
Wu Yanhao, who was chasing a fish weighing several kilograms, was caught off guard and was hit on the head by Li Cunxi's fishing line.
"Look carefully!"
Wu Yanhao complained, and when he looked down again, he could no longer see where the fish had gone.
"Oh my fish!"
Li Cunxi smiled and reeled in the fishing rod, then threw it in another direction.
Originally, they were going to live in Liang County for about a week, taking the opportunity to observe the character and governance capabilities of local officials, but now they have been there for ten days and Li Cunxi still has no plans to leave.
The magistrate of Liang County has performed very well in the past few days, and Li Cunxi is ready to see when he can no longer act.
