Chapter 100 New Where to Go

In the evening, the tired birds return to the forest, and the sunset pours on the lush mountains and forests, as if putting a colorful clothes on this quiet paradise.

Qin Mubai and Li Ke walked in front. Yao'er and Shuang'er also had several little orphan girls holding hands with each other. Then, the attendants of Wu Wangfu drove the carriage and followed slowly behind. The group walked on the grove of the mountain road and talked.

"Mubai, what are you going to do?" Li Ke said, "With all due respect. Judging from the current situation, you don't seem to be suitable to stay in Baiqi and work in the palace. Although my father has always been broad-minded and will not really hate you or fear you, this time Gaoyang's matter is so big that rumors are boiling. My father may think about changing your job for you out of consideration of avoiding suspicion. You might as well take the initiative."

"Your Highness is very true. I have already considered this matter." Qin Mubai said, "Baiqi began with the initial construction, which was an attempt. Although the emperor did not doubt that he did not need to use people, some troubles were indeed inevitable. There are many females in the harem, which inevitably makes the outside world gossip. In addition, this time the incident of Princess Gaoyang was triggered... I think the emperor may even disband Baiqi.

"That's not so much." Li Ke said, "Baiqi is a very good army. My father has praised Baiqi many times in private and praised you. However, it's in the limelight now. You might as well avoid it for a while, and then there will be no problem if you go back to Baiqi. After all, it is not easy for the emperor to find a suitable knight. He doesn't really want to drive you away from Baiqi. I think he will allow you to take leave this time, that's what he means. I hope you can stay away from the limelight and wait until things calm down.

Qin Mubai thought about it in his heart. Did Li Ke take the initiative to say this to me? Does it mean that he is implying that he has already figured out where to go? Then why don't I take the initiative to tell him?

"Now I can only rest at home for the time being. There is no other good place for a while." Qin Mubai said casually, "If Your Highness has a way, you might as well give me some advice next time?"

"Don't say it, it's true." Li Ke smiled mysteriously.

"Is that right?" Qin Mubai blinked a few times, "What's the way out?"

"I listened to the call of my father today and went into the palace." Li Ke said, "Originally, my father was going to let me get back on the stage in Gaoyang's wedding. Now that it's so noisy, the marriage has to be postponed. So, my father pointed out another way for me. Just this morning, the Jiangzhou state government urgently reported that the flood disaster was serious, and the state government did not have enough manpower to help the disaster. It asked the court for support. So Your Majesty is going to let me lead this matter.

"It's the rainy and dry season in late summer and early autumn. Why is there a flood at this time?" Qin Mubai asked.

"I don't know now. It is said that it is not the flooding of the Yellow River, but a lake embankment. Li Ke said, "The specific situation will not be clear until the past investigation. At present, the top priority is disaster relief. Your Majesty has issued a military order to recruit 5,000 soldiers from Jiangzhou Prefecture and nearby prefectures and counties to gather in Jiangzhou on a starry night. It was me who was sent to preside over the overall situation, the entourage and several officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household.

Qin Mubai thought for a little and said, "Your Highness, do you mean to take me there too?"

Li Ke smiled and said, "It's not a belt, but please. You are a magnificent knight and the leader of the royal family. Can you go anywhere? Just when I was talking to my father, I vaguely heard the sound of my father's words. He said that the flood broke out in Jiangzhou in autumn, which caused the disaster for the people of Li, which must be the punishment of the emperor for losing his virtue. Therefore, it is time for the emperor to go to the disaster relief and pray for guilt. But at present, the community is busy with affairs, so I will go there on his behalf, and say, 'I'm respectfully kissing you wherever I go'. The implication is to send me out as an imperial envoy.

"I see." Qin Mubai said, "Since he is an imperial envoy, he is usually equipped with a personal guard, usually Qianniuwei and Jinwuwei. And you are the prince and the royal family, so it is most appropriate to send a team of hundred riders with you.

"You are so smart." Li Ke smiled and said, "That's what my father said. Although he didn't explicitly say that he would send you to go with me, everyone knew that you had a personal relationship with me. Didn't he deliberately say this to me? Controlling floods is a long-term job. In addition to water treatment and disaster relief, it is also necessary to repair water conservancy and treat disaster victims. It is estimated that it will take three months to settle the houses of the victims and redistribute farmland and livestock. If you lead the troops to leave with me, won't it be the emperor's will? It not only did not expel you from Baiqi, but also let you temporarily leave Chang'an, a place of right and wrong. Both are beautiful.

"Not bad." Qin Mubai blinked a few times, thought for a little in his heart, and said, "Then should I find an excuse to enter the palace to meet the emperor as soon as possible?"

"Yes." Li Ke said, "Moreover, don't take the initiative to talk about the flood in Jiangzhou. The emperor will take the initiative to talk to you."

"I know." Qin Mubai nodded and answered, and said to himself: This Li Ke is really very similar to Li Shimin. He is very smart, the city is very deep, can detect people's hearts, and is deeply gloomy to the emperor's mind. He didn't let me take the initiative to talk to the emperor, but he didn't want the emperor to know that I had a private discussion with him and had discussed this matter properly. If you pretend to be ignorant, everything will go naturally. Otherwise, the emperor will be afraid of me and Li Ke - it is a big taboo for the king.

Being a minister can be capable and smart, but you must not be too smart and break through the strategies and ideas hidden in the king's heart. Otherwise, the king will lose face. Although he will praise this minister on the surface, he will really be afraid of him in his heart. Because he will feel that he, a king, looks stupid and naive in front of this minister, and can't hide anything. If it were an ordinary person, he would hurt his self-esteem. Can the king ignore Junwei? - Wasn't Yang Xiu killed by Cao Cao because he was so clever?

After walking two or three miles all the way, Li Ke stopped everyone and said, "Demon girl, you have come out a long way. Go back quickly. It's going to be dark."

"Well, it's okay." Yaoer smiled and said, "Anyway, it's the same for me at dawn."

"But it's different for others, haha! Some bad people like to do bad things when the night is dark and the wind is high. Li Ke smiled and said, "Let's go back."

"Well, that's good. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm not far away from you. The demon's style of farewell, those little orphan girls were also polite to salute together.

"Let's go back with the demon sister. I'll come to see you tomorrow when I have time!" Qin Shuanger smiled and said to the little girls.

Everyone also split up here. Qin Mubai and his sister got on the horse together. Li Ke got into the car, and the demon took a group of little girls back to Li Chenju.

When I got home, it was getting dark. The Qin Mubai brothers and sisters got off the horse and went to the lobby to report to their parents, only to find that Qin Shubao was sitting in the hall, and there was a red-robed official at the bottom.

"Mubai is back." Qin Shubao raised his finger and glanced at the red-robed official, "This is Hubu Langzhong. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The red-robed official hurriedly got up to salute: "Su Yuan has met General Qin."

Tobe Langzhong, from the five grades, is slightly lower than Qin Mubai's grade, which is actually a flat grade. However, because Qin Mubai had such a family background, Qin Shubao was present, and coupled with the prestige of the Hundred Horses, Su Yuan's courtesy was very thoughtful.

"Su Langzhong is too polite." Qin Mubai returned the salute and said, "Lang Zhong came to me. What do you want to teach me?"

Su Yuan said, "The Ministry of Household received the imperial edict and said that it would send a house to General Qin. It took Beizhi and his subordinates three days to buy it, so they came to inform the general to go for acceptance. Unexpectedly, the general was not at home all day today, so he had to wait here.

"So that's it. Today, I took my little sister out to play together, which made Lang Zhong wait here for a long time. It's really rude." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "It's getting late at this time. How about going tomorrow?"

"The house is very close, just across the street from the Qin Mansion, and it's only a piece of incense to walk." Su Yuan smiled and said, "Why don't the general accept it today? Everything has been cleaned up and can be checked in immediately."

"Really? Then go!" Qin Mubai said happily.

Anyway, if you have your own house, you can start your own business and have a private space. Although it is pleasant to live in Qinfu with my father, I always feel a little reserved.

"General, please."

Qin Mubai went to Qin Shubao and said, "Father, do you and your mother want to go and have a look together?"

"I won't go. Go and ask your mother and sister!" Qin Shubao said indifferently.

"It's good." Qin Mubai bowed his hand and retreated, thinking that the arrogance of the peak martial artist in his father's bones was afraid that he would never be able to wield it. He may think that the reward given by the emperor this time is not that the reward for merit is not just enough, but that he has other intentions, so he is not very interested in this house.

But Liu and Shuang'er didn't know this. They were so happy that Qin Mubai was about to settle down in a new home. They didn't need Qin Mubai to invite him at all. They took the initiative to follow Qin Mubai and went to the new house under the guidance of Su Yuan.

Qin Mubai's new home is indeed not far from Qin Mansion, just a street away, and it didn't take long to arrive.

The door is brand-new, and the stone carvings at the door are wrapped in red silk. Although it is not as magnificent as the Xunmen Qin Mansion of the Twelve, it is also neat and elegant.

The door is still painted new and open. Su Yuan stepped in first, clapped his hands, and walked out of a row of men and women to greet him: "Welcome, master."

Qin Mubai was stunned: "Who are these people?"

Su Yuan arched his hand and smiled and said, "These six men are handymen, cooks, porters, gardeners and grooms, etc., plus four maidservists, will all be General Qin in the future. The independent portal of five-pin Beijing officials, ranging from six to ten servants, are controlled by the laws and regulations of this dynasty.
