"Bad people don't matter, you're the most important," Li Tianyou said, patting Xu Qingshi's head.
"Besides, catching bad guys is something your father should worry about. You don't receive the emperor's salary, so you don't need to worry about it," Li Tianyou added after thinking for a moment.
He thought to himself, "The meager salary the emperor gives us isn't even enough to make them risk their lives."
"Oh, I see." Xu Qingshi made a mental note: The Emperor's salary is too low, I shouldn't become an official.
When Li Tianyou helped Xu Qing up, he stood up and walked to the window.
He had assumed the window was locked, but to his surprise, it opened with a gentle push.
"Ee?" Li Tianyou made a strange "ee" sound.
Look out.
The courtyard appeared to have been uninhabited for a long time, with weeds growing all around.
At a glance, it's clear that the owner hasn't taken care of it for a long time.
There was no one in the courtyard.
It seems that the servant had already left.
"Grandfather, can we go out?" Xu Qingshi asked excitedly.
Li Tianyou glanced outside the courtyard and nodded.
"Shall we leave now?" Xu Qingshi had actually wanted to leave for a long time, but Li Tianyou had told him earlier that he was going to catch bad guys.
Now that we don't need to catch the bad guys anymore, can they just leave?
Thinking of this, Xu Qingshi felt extremely excited.
"However, we still need to be careful. We don't know if there's anyone else here," Li Tianyou whispered to Xu Qingshi.
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingshi grunted and quickly covered his mouth, then nodded to indicate that he understood.
Upon hearing this, Li Tianyou climbed out of the window first, and then reached out and carried Xu Qingshi out.
The two of them then carefully walked to the gate.
Just as they reached the door, Li Tianyou frowned. After thinking for a moment, he felt something was amiss and quickly led Xu Qingshi to find the side door.
"Grandfather, why didn't we go out just now?" Xu Qingshi asked, puzzled.
"If there are guards outside, we might not be able to get out," Li Tianyou said cautiously.
"Grandfather, you're amazing!" Xu Qingshi gave Li Tianyou a thumbs up.
Li Tianyou did not become complacent because of Xu Qingshi's praise, but instead secretly led his men to the small gate in the backyard.
Seeing that no one was guarding the door, Li Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that the people who captured them were either incredibly careless or extremely confident that they couldn't escape.
After Li Tianyou and Xu Qingshi left the small courtyard, they were somewhat dumbfounded by their surroundings.
"Grandfather, where is this?" In Xu Qingshi's mind, there shouldn't be a place like this in the capital.
“This is the outskirts of the city,” Li Tianyou sighed.
He did have an impression of this place.
That was when he was looking at houses here back when he wanted to buy a house in the capital.
Thinking of this, Li Tianyou sighed, took Xu Qingshi's hand, and walked out, wondering if he would have to walk back on his own two legs.
Prince Lan Huai arrived at the Cheng family with generous gifts.
Grand Tutor Cheng Tianyuan personally received Prince Lan Huai.
Grand Tutor Cheng was puzzled. What did Prince Lan Huai want to do by suddenly coming to their Cheng family?
Could it be that he also has something he wants to ask of the Empress?
But he is the emperor's uncle. Wouldn't it be faster for him to ask the emperor for help if he needed anything?
