Chapter 17: Delusion (2)
Xiao Kui was standing at the door of the room, not letting anyone in. When she saw Li Changzui coming, she quickly used a loud voice to remind the people in the room, "Miss, the young master is here!"
Xiao Kui's voice was a little high, which frightened Li Changzui. He looked at Xiao Kui helplessly, "Xiao Kui, what's wrong with you today? You are so loud. I have never seen you so nervous before. But your young lady is in trouble."
When Xiaokui's voice came, Li Yue was so scared that she got up from Xiao Hanqi and urged Xiao Hanqi to leave in a low voice. Xiao Hanqi looked at the anxious Li Yue with a smile. Xiao Hanqi knew that with Li Changzui's martial arts, he would be able to hear him after a few more steps. Xiao Hanqi simply stood up and walked to the table outside and sat down.
Xiao Hanqi guessed correctly. When Li Changzui finished talking to Xiaokui, he already sensed the presence of two people in the room. Li Changzui opened the door directly, ignoring Xiaokui's obstruction.
As soon as Li Changzui entered the room, he saw Xiao Hanqi with a very happy face. Li Changzui then looked at Li Yue who was standing beside him, and gave Xiao Hanqi a dagger-like look. If looks could kill, then Xiao Hanqi would be dead now.
Xiao Hanqi ignored Li Changzui's eyes, but when Li Yue saw her brother's murderous eyes and Xiao Hanqi's comfortable look, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
But Li Yue still wanted to break the atmosphere, "Brother, why are you here?"
Li Changzui looked at Li Yue speechlessly, "What do you think?"
Li Yue then remembered that she seemed to have said that she was going to go find him, and she looked at Xiao Hanqi angrily, as if saying "It's all your fault!" Xiao Hanqi received Li Yue's gaze, smiled and took a sip of tea.
Seeing that the two ignored him, Li Changzui coughed to remind them to restrain themselves. Li Yue heard Li Changzui's cough and looked at him awkwardly, "Brother, I want to tell you that we should pay attention to Duke Xu's Mansion!"
Li Changzui looked at Li Yue questioningly, "Why is it that our General's Mansion and Duke Xu's Mansion have always kept to themselves?"
Li Yue slowly walked to Li Changzui and motioned him to sit down and chat slowly. "It's like this. We all saw what happened today. Xu Jiaojiao threw Li Meng into the lake because of the third prince. And seeing Li Meng's look just now, the third prince must have promised Li Meng something. Otherwise, with Li Meng's usual cautious look, she would never say what she said just now. It must be something the third prince did."
Li Changzui heard Li Yue's words, but still didn't understand, so he gestured to Li Yue to continue, "Originally, the Third Prince's target was me. Today, the King of Han came to pick me up, so I followed the King of Han and went to his ship. Otherwise, I would be the one in trouble now."
When Li Changzui heard Li Yue say that Xiao Tianming's target was her, he slammed the table in anger and said angrily, "How dare he think that!"
Li Yue comforted Li Changzui, and asked Xiao Kui to guard the door carefully, and then continued, "Brother, he thinks it's because of the military power of the General's Mansion. Let alone other things, the emperor hasn't said who to appoint. Now our General's Mansion is a piece of fat meat. The eldest prince has always been submissive, and the second prince is in poor health. Now only the fourth and fifth princes are qualified. One of them is in the barracks, and the other has a powerful maternal family. Only the third prince has to rely on himself. Although he has Duke Xu, it is not military power after all, so the third prince will definitely take a fancy to our General's Mansion."
Li Changzui listened to Li Yue's words in surprise. Xiao Hanqi's attitude had become cold since Li Yue mentioned the Third Prince, but in order not to scare Li Yue, Xiao Hanqi still restrained himself a little.
Li Changzui glanced at Xiao Hanqi, then at Li Yue. Li Changzui thought that Xiao Hanqi and Li Yue had said that, so he quickly asked Xiao Hanqi, "Did you and Yue'er say that?"
Xiao Hanqi knew that Liyue was very smart. There were some things that Xiao Hanqi didn't need to tell her, and as for the things in her previous life, it's not that Liyue hadn't discovered them early on, but she just didn't dare to believe it.
Xiao Hanqi glanced at Li Yue and patted her head gently. "No, Yue'er is very smart. She only needs to say or do something once and she will know what will happen next."
Li Changzui looked at Xiao Hanqi patting Li Yue's hand unhappily, "Don't be ridiculous, didn't you say Yue'er is still carefree? Now Yue'er is so cunning, it must be you who taught her. And why do you always pat Yue'er on the head? Keep your hand away from Yue'er."
Li Changzui pulled Li Yue up as he spoke, and sat next to Xiao Hanqi, letting Li Yue sit opposite Xiao Hanqi.
When Xiao Hanqi saw Li Changzui pulling Li Yue to face him, he looked at Li Changzui with a cold face. Li Changzui also gave Xiao Hanqi a look. When Li Meng saw the looks in their eyes, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Xiao Hanqi and Li Changzui saw Li Yue smiling, and they looked at Li Yue at the same time. Li Yue coughed awkwardly, "Now Brother Hanqi just brought news that Concubine Xu and Duke Xu have decided to get married, so we have to pay attention. Prevent Duke Xu from making trouble for us, for Li Meng."
When Xiao Hanqi heard Li Yue calling him "Brother Hanqi", he looked at Li Yue happily. When Li Changzui heard the words "Brother Hanqi", he looked at Xiao Hanqi with a bad face, but when he saw Xiao Hanqi's proud look, he suddenly wanted to compete with Xiao Hanqi.
But in front of Li Yue, Li Changzui didn't want Li Yue to see it, "Okay, I know that I have to pay attention to Duke Xu and Li Meng! Okay, I know!"
Li Yue saw that Li Changzui was being perfunctory and was about to say something, but Li Changzui did not give Li Yue a chance to speak. He said to Xiao Hanqi respectfully, "King Han, let's go to the study in Linfeng Residence and talk."
Li Yue was about to ask them what else they wanted to talk about, but Li Changzui said directly, "Men's affairs should be solved by men themselves." After saying that, he turned around and left without caring whether Xiao Hanqi agreed or not.
Xiao Hanqi looked at Li Changzui and knew what he was going to do. Xiao Hanqi gave Li Yue a reassuring look and followed Li Changzui away.
Li Yue looked at the backs of the two people and muttered, "What kind of things are men's business? Really, if you don't want me to know, just say no directly, why are you being so mysterious!"
While Li Yue was muttering, Xiao Kui walked in and looked at Li Yue with a questioning look on her face, "Miss, why does the young master look so unhappy? And King Han, what happened to them?"
Li Yue heard what Xiao Kui said and shook her head. "Who knows? They said they have something to say and don't want me to get involved. Forget it. Xiao Kui, go call Uncle Li."
Xiao Kui quickly said "yes" and walked out. Li Yue didn't care about them. Some things she had to take care of herself.
Li Changzui walked quickly to the weapon shop of Linfengju, followed by Xiao Hanqi.
Li Changzui didn't wait for Xiao Hanqi to prepare, and he picked up the spear in front of him and pointed the spear at Xiao Hanqi, "Come on, let's practice!"
