“Li Chi, thirty-two years old, lives in the alley of the South Third Street in the city. There are six people in his family, all of whom work at Huaxiang Carriage and Horse Shop.”
With each word Qi Yuan spoke, Li Chi's expression grew colder.
What does "勉强" mean by this person?
Why did you investigate yourself so thoroughly?
It's obvious they didn't come earlier or later, but of all times.
He said coldly, "I don't care who you are, if you want to harm my boss or ruin the reputation of my Huaxiang Carriage and Horse Shop, you won't get a chance."
He clenched his fist.
The man in the groin looked like he was highly skilled in martial arts, and he was afraid he couldn't beat him.
Even so, he will not back down.
Li Chi began to silently make arrangements for his funeral.
Qi Yuan's eyes lit up with interest. "You are a loyal and righteous man. I am Qi Yuan of the Imperial Guard. This is my token."
"Lord Qi... Lord Qi..."
Li Chi was taken aback.
He had heard of Qi Yuan's reputation, but he was either out and about or holed up in the carriage shop, so he never ran into Qi Yuan even when he went out.
So I didn't recognize it.
He recognized the Imperial Guard's waist tag, and besides, no one dared to counterfeit it.
He immediately clasped his hands in greeting and said, "This humble subject greets Lord Qi."
The moment my heart settled back into my stomach, it jumped up again.
Could those two girls be wanted criminals of the Imperial Guard? But that doesn't make sense, they entered An County quite smoothly.
Li Chi's mind couldn't process it.
Qi Yuan said gently, "I've come to see you to replace your current job and escort your employer on his journey."
“I…a commoner,” Li Chi stammered.
Qi Yuan didn't give him a chance to refuse. "Originally, the plan was to have you return to the capital tomorrow, but seeing how diligent you are in your work, starting tomorrow, I will be the person sent by your boss."
The reason is that I'm worried you won't be able to handle it alone.
“My name is Li Tongxu. I have worked in your carriage company for ten years.”
Qi Yuan's original plan was to replace Li Chi and take his own followers to the front.
After all, it would be really inconvenient if it were just him, His Majesty, and Ah Hao traveling together.
If errands need to be run, and he does them, then no one will protect His Majesty; if he doesn't do them, then Ah Hao will have to.
He and his entourage disguised themselves perfectly.
But now they think Li Chi is capable and has a good character, so it's good for him to stay and cover for them.
Li Chi was overjoyed to hear that he didn't have to return to the capital.
Moreover, trusting the Imperial Guards, he didn't think much of it and agreed immediately.
"My identity must be kept secret from your employer. Remember not to let it slip."
"yes."
Qi Yuan got up and went to the next room.
He was very satisfied with his arrangement.
Meanwhile, Murong Yue and Ahao were having a meal in their room.
Chew, chew, chew~
"This is delicious."
Murong Yue felt that this dry, flatbread tasted a bit like gnawing on a head, but it tasted better.
Ah Hao smiled and served Murong Yue a bowl of soup. "If you like it, Master, we'll buy some from the shop tomorrow so we can eat it on the road."
"Um."
Before going to bed, Murong Yue washed her face and brushed her teeth, placing her large pearl and yellow crystal next to her pillow.
Without Little Grey and Little Hedgehog by my side, it feels a bit empty.
However, the thought of finding his mother quickly dispelled his disappointment.
After Ah-hao finished tidying up, she lay down on the small couch next to her.
This small couch is only smaller than a regular bed, but it's perfectly adequate for one person to sleep on.
She had thought that she and His Majesty would have trouble sleeping in the new place, but to her surprise, they fell into a deep sleep after exchanging only a few words.
I slept well all night.
The next day, Murong Yue and Ahao packed up and prepared to have breakfast in the city before setting off again.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Li Chi and a man standing at the door.
Ah Hao was startled. Who was this strange man?
The man bowed respectfully and greeted, "Master, I am..."
Murong Yue pouted, "Qi Yuan, what brings you here?"
Qi Yuan: ...
Li Chi: ...
Ah-hao: ...
Qi Yuan didn't even have time to react before the word "Your Majesty" was about to slip out reflexively.
Ah Hao reacted quickly. When she saw that the person in front of her was an unfamiliar face, but His Majesty called him Qi Yuan, then this person must be Qi Yuan.
Lord Qi came in disguise.
That's true. It's best not to reveal your identity when you're out and about.
After all, Qi Yuan had offended quite a few people in the capital.
She immediately said, "Master, let's go inside and talk."
Li Chi was very perceptive; his employer addressed the Imperial Guard Commander by his first name, which was enough to prove that his employer was no ordinary person.
Besides, Lord Qi's elaborate disguise was seen through at a glance... Heh, it has nothing to do with him~
"Boss, you two chat, I'll stand guard at the door."
He was very sensible.
The three entered the room. Murong Yue circled Qi Yuan twice, then leaned closer to stare at his ordinary face. "Qi Yuan, what brings you here?"
"And what happened to your face?"
Qi Yuan's plans were completely disrupted.
He and Li Xuanji discussed many countermeasures and made many preparations, but they didn't have this one: what if His Majesty saw through their scheme?
He could only tell the truth.
"The Imperial Preceptor was very worried when he discovered that you had left the capital."
"But not wanting to ruin your plans, I will disguise myself and come along to protect Your Majesty."
"This face is the result of a disguise technique."
Human skin mask.
This kind of thing is circulating in the martial arts world, but Lan Family Fortress really does have it.
It was naturally given to him by Li Xuanji.
The reason they went through such a long detour was because they were afraid His Majesty wouldn't allow them to come along.
