Chapter 12: Chapter 12
Tan Qi has always trusted Li Mi's plan, even if Li Mi now asks her to assassinate the Prime Minister, Tan Qi still feels that Li Mi has his reasons.After all, her son is the best official in Quan Chang'an and the most humane Taoist priest in the whole world.
"It's going to be difficult and dangerous, please protect yourself," Li Mi raised his eyebrows, "Don't worry about me, Captain Zhang is here, and no wolf guards in Chang'an can take his life, so the mere dead are nothing to worry about," he patted Pat Tanqi on the shoulder to show comfort, "There is a secret room in my house, I can protect myself even when I am outnumbered, you just need to remember what I told you to say, let the prince lead the troops to Huashan quickly."
Tan Qi's willow eyebrows seemed to be disturbed by the wind, and he was so worried that Li Mi could only smile slightly: "I'll wait for you, come back soon."
"My lord, wait for me for three days, and Tan Qi will definitely come back in three days!" Tan Qi gritted his teeth. The most important thing to do is to be mentally weak. The more indecisive she is, the more dangerous Li Mi will be. "Zhang Xiaojing, my son entrusted you !” After saying that, he got on his horse, stepped on the snow and let out a long hiss, the horse's hooves stirred up a cloud of dust, and he ran out of several positions in a snap of his fingers.Zhang Xiaojing watched from afar, suddenly put his hands around his mouth, and shouted towards Tanqi's back: "I forgot to tell you——! I am Zhang Xiaojing! I have paid my heart!!"
Li Mi pursed her lips unconsciously, blaming Zhang Xiaojing for never picking the right time to flirt, and thinking of Nuanxiang Wenyu at critical moments, this was the case during the Lantern Festival, and it is also the same today.Li Mi secretly sighed, but suppressed the vague unhappiness in his heart.
"Leave when you are ugly tonight," Li Mi said to Zhang Xiaojing, "The moonlight is not clear these few days, and the mountains and forests are dense at night, so it is not easy to notice." Zhang Xiaojing nodded in agreement, and said: "I have a day's free time, I will sharpen your skills for you Do you want a knife for self-defense?"
"Li is not good at this kind of way..." Li Mi was a little surprised. He knew that he was a scholar and Taoist priest with no strength to restrain a chicken. He always stood far away in the camp and took charge of all directions. Wang, he seems cumbersome, and now he will be the only one left to watch. Needless to say, I feel uneasy, and what is even more frightening is that he will lose everything by himself.
Zhang Xiaojing saw that Li Mi's expression changed subtly, and said with a smile, "I'd better give you a knife. If that moment really comes, it won't hurt to hit someone's head with your baby whisk."
Li Mi didn't say anything, he never competed with Zhang Xiaojing for heroes in terms of martial arts.
In addition to sharpening the knife, Zhang Xiaojing also made some other arrangements. His room is within ten steps of Li Mi's bedroom. The dummy is placed by the window, and the candles are lit at night, just to see how similar the figure is, how long it can be concealed.The secret room in Li Mi’s room is hidden behind the bookshelf where the Sanqing sages are hung. It is not well repaired. If you remove the bookshelf, you can see it. Zhang Xiaojing thought about this hole for a long time but couldn’t think of any useful method. Neng prepared more dry food and fruits for Li Mi and put them in it, and said: "Be careful after I leave, I have scattered dry branches around and on the roof, if you hear the sound, you must hide it quickly," he said from his arms He took out two knives, one was a dagger, and the other was a thin blade with a wooden sheath, "Take these two, use them if you can, and throw them away if you don't know how to use them. Don't be picked up by others. hurt you."
Li Mi recognized at a glance that the thin blade was given by Tanqi to Zhang Xiaojing on the day of Shangyuan Festival, but Zhang Xiaojing didn't expect Zhang Xiaojing to keep it until now, and he couldn't help but feel a little unexplainable joy after being surprised.
The golden crow sinks in the west, the bright moon rises in the east, and the insects around gradually rise, but there is no trace of the dead. They are in the dark, and there is no doubt that a flashing god will stab Li Mi's chest with a knife.Tanqi has been away for a day, and he must be by the nobleman's side at this time. Li Biyu feels that he has made a dangerous move, but the order has been released, and there is no turning back.
"Tomorrow, how do you plan to lure Anshan Gang up the mountain?" Li Mi and Zhang Xiaojing stood in front of the window together, as they often gossiped through the window.
"The group of stupid thieves were dealt with by me for the first time, and when they caught up with the officers and soldiers for the second time, they were eager to find me." Zhang Xiaojing leaned against the window and looked at the stars. , Prince met."
Li Mi also frowned when he heard this. If he was still in Jing'an Division now, it would be easy for the three parties to grasp the timing, but now there are only the three of them.
"I originally wanted the nobleman to lead troops to Mount Hua on the grounds of suppressing bandits. You lead the Anshan Gang, and I lead the dead soldiers to Tingliguan. Kill two birds with one stone. The nobleman has made great achievements in suppressing bandits, and can also catch the right prime minister. ,” Li Mi smiled wryly, “It’s embarrassing for Zhang Duwei.”
Zhang Xiaojing snorted: "People's hearts are not enough, the more you want to have the best of both worlds, the more empty-handed you will be."
Li Mi held the whisk in his hand, the snow-white brown silk reflected the orange candlelight: "I rely on Zhang Duwei." He never left the whisk, not only because he practiced Taoism, but also because it was Li Mi's steelyard, and the world at one end. The people, on the one hand, are moral and benevolent, but he works hard all day long, but he can't help them.
"Is that why you trust me?" Zhang Xiaojing looked over, his eyebrows raised slightly.
"Trust," Li Bi replied.
"Why?"
"Seniority, means, temperament, and a kind heart." Li Mi praised without hesitation.Zhang Xiaojing's eyes moved slightly, and he turned around with burning eyes: "Then Sicheng guess, why should I help you?"
Li Mi pursed her lips and thought for a moment: "Because you and I are all for the common people."
"Wrong, not all of them," Zhang Xiaojing looked into Li Mi's eyes, not allowing anyone to dodge, "There is one more thing - I have you in my heart."
"What...?!" Li Bi was stunned, his eyes rippled, and he almost suspected that his hearing had failed, "What did you say?"
"I said I have you in my heart."
"...Lieutenant Zhang..." Li Bi's eyes widened, as if his throat had been strangled, "This is not how it is used..."
"Then how do you use it?" Zhang Xiaojing approached a little closer, "Or let me put it another way so that Li Sicheng can understand it—I like you, do you hear me clearly?"
"Huh, talking nonsense!!" Li Mi leaned back fiercely to distance himself, "Zhang Duwei be careful!!"
It seemed that Li Mi dodged too fiercely, which made Zhang Xiaojing feel teasing. He deliberately leaned forward, almost touching the tip of Li Mi's nose, and said: "I will go to prison for you, accompany you to the mountain to practice Taoism, and show you Looking at the mountains and rivers, and being with you every day, and now you are still at your mercy, Li Sicheng, don’t all the things in the past fall into your eyes?" Zhang Xiaojing stared at Li Mi’s ears that were still red under the candlelight, and chuckled lightly. "I don't believe you're not interested in me?"
"I do not have..."
"Nonsense, little fox, don't lie," Zhang Xiaojing snapped, "If you didn't, why did you work so hard to get me out of prison? Why would you rather trade yourself for me? Don't you value the big picture most? You can't have a little Is it wrong? For the future of the death row, Xiao Li Mi, who else do you want to lie to?"
"I didn't!" Zhang Xiaojing's robbing caused Li Mi to lose all blood. Liuli pupil didn't know whether it was anger or fear, and she shook the candlelight like beans, and said hurriedly, "I promised you a long time ago to save you from prison. My imprisoning was a trick of the Right Prime Minister. I, the nobleman and I had prepared early on, but it was just to save your life by the way. Going up the mountain to practice Taoism is also a retreat. The nobleman wants me to take you under his command, otherwise how could I be Indulge you in every possible way! Zhang Xiaojing! You, don't think too much!"
"Who thinks too much?" Zhang Xiaojing simply turned over, trapped Li Mi under him, and put his arms on Li Mi's shoulders so that he could not move forward or retreat, "Do you know why I quarreled with Tanqi that day?" Li Mi bit her lower lip tightly, "It was your maid who protected the lord who asked me why I teased you over and over again, causing you to be in a mess, something even Tanqi could see, and you still want to deny it By when?"
"...I didn't..." Li Bi's face was pale as if he had been overwhelmed by a reckless ghost, and a row of white teeth bit his lower lip until it almost oozes blood.He didn't, he didn't!How could he have such a ridiculous idea since he practiced Taoism since he was a child? !But if Zhang Xiaojing said one more word, his heart would jump wildly, as if a demon was haunting him, and his mind would be taken away in the next second.
The seven emotions and six desires in Li Mi's eyes turned into a frenzied whirlwind, which made Zhang Xiaojing unable to see clearly, and his temper became a little bit more. He opened Li Mi's jaw and parted the blood-oozing lower lip, with a puzzled and helpless expression: " I, Zhang Xiaojing, are so disliked by you? You want to say no to the world? You have already pretended to be the people of the world in your heart, so why not have one more me!"
"It's because I pretended to be the world that I can't pretend to be you!" Li Mi blurted out, and realized that he had slipped his words in Zhang Xiaojing's astonished eyes, "No...I'm not..."
"Forget it, I won't force you," Zhang Xiaojing smiled knowingly, brushed his thumb over Li Mi's lips, and wiped away the blood, "I have good hearing, I can hear everything you say," Zhang Xiaojing poked Li Mi's thin chest, "I, Zhang Xiaojing, don't take up space, you can leave a gap."
Zhang Xiaojing let go of Li Mi and stood up, looking at the sky outside the window: "It's almost time, be careful yourself, at noon tomorrow, I will lead the Anshan Gang up." Before leaving, Zhang Xiaojing held the door frame and took a deep look. "Little fox, you don't have to force yourself to be a fickle lover. If you take care of the people, I will take care of you, but don't forget, I am also your people."
