Chapter 105 A Thrilling Night
That night, Zhen Xing and Qi Bosong lay on **, and no one could fall asleep. A person in the palace came out, which made them lingering.
Fortunately, the man didn't delve into it. Otherwise, wouldn't the identity of Zhenxing, the precious concubine, be easily exposed?
"What do you think he is doing with Yili? This is a place where birds don't shit. Zhen Xing turned around and asked Qi Bosong.
Qi Bosong hugged Zhen Xing. In the dark night, he felt Zhen Xing's face and gently put her hair behind his head.
"I don't know, ordinary bodyguards, unless they receive special tasks. Otherwise, you won't leave Beijing easily. Moreover, he can come to this place. No, I really can't figure out what it's for. Qi Bosong said.
Zhen Xing's eyes suddenly lit up in the night. She said in horror, "No, it's not here to catch us, is it?"
"No way, we are coming to Ili, who knows? Don't scare yourself!" Qi Bosong said with a smile.
Zhen Xing thought so. Everyone in the palace thought she was dead. Who could guess that she was living a carefree life now? Thinking of this, Zhen Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm just worried now that he will tell me what he has seen when he goes back. At that time, it will be troublesome!" Qi Bosong said.
Just as Zhen Xing was about to speak, Qi Boxong suddenly heard something. He covered Zhenxing's mouth and listened carefully. It turned out that someone was knocking on the street door.
It's so late, how can anyone come? Qi Bo was shocked and stood up with "a rubbing". He stuffed the little dagger around him into Zhenxing's arms.
"I'll go out and have a look. Be careful!" Qi Bosong touched his clothes. In the dark, Zhen Xing couldn't see Qi Boxong's face. But I also felt the tension.
Zhen Xing couldn't sleep either. She sat up and lit the candle. He quickly put on his clothes and held Qi Boxong's little dagger tightly in his arms.
Qi Bosong was already in the yard at this time, and the lights in Xiaorou's room were on. Xiaorou approved a dress and came out. Seeing Qi Bosong walking out with a button, Xiaorou hurriedly shouted, "Brother."
Qi Boxong turned around and saw that it was Xiaorou, so he immediately said, "It's okay. I'll go and have a look. You go to sleep."
"Brother, take the candle!" Xiaorou said, hurried into the room and brought out the candle. Qi Bosong took it over and nodded.
With such a toss, there was almost no sound outside the door. Qi Bosong did not mean to go back to rest. He quickly walked through the moon gate and walked to the gate.
As soon as the door opened, Qi Bosong was shocked.
There was a gloomy smile on the face of a person outside the door, and Qi Boxong smiled even more happily. By the way, he also raised the things in his hand, a piece of pork head meat and a small pot of good wine.
"Brother Qi, I haven't seen you for a long time. Unexpectedly, I came to this place happily!"
Qi Boxong smiled, hugged his fist, and said to the man, "Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's really fate to meet you in such a place.
"Brother, won't you invite me to sit in?" The handsome man surnamed Li said with a smile.
"Kid, I'm two years older than you. You don't have to call me so old! In the middle of the night, no one is allowed to sleep. Come in." Qi Bosong said with a smile.
"Li Ke is here to compensate his brother and sister-in-law." Li Ke said with a smile and stepped into the door.
Qi Boxong closed the door and asked Li Ke to go to the living room behind the main door.
Qi Boxong opened the room that few people could enter, and Li Ke was not polite and swaggered in. Qi Bosong lit two candles in the room.
"Brother Qi's house is really good. It's not much worse than that in Beijing!" Li Ke looked around at Qi Boxong's living room and said, Qi Boxong pointed to the chair with a smile.
"Sit down, you and my brother don't have to be polite. I'm going to find two cups. Let's have a good chat. With that, Qi Bosong left the living room.
Zhen Xing and others were frightened and panicked to death. She held Qi Boxong's dagger. The dagger once protected her at night in the barren mountains.
As soon as she heard a sound in the yard, Zhen Xing immediately jumped up and went out. When Qi Bosong saw Zhen Xing, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's an old friend. Come and get together. Go to bed first. I'll have a drink with him.
"Oh? Is it someone from the Chamber of Commerce? I'll go and have a look." Zhen Xing said.
Qi Bosong immediately frowned, took a deep breath, and suddenly stopped Zhen Xing.
"Go back to sleep and be obedient. I'll be back in a minute. Don't go out. It's cold. You have to listen to me, do you understand?" Qi Bosong said.
Zhen Xing felt strange when she listened, and her expression was even more strange when she looked at Qi Boxong.
"Listen to me!" Qi Bosong ordered, and Zhen Xing nodded. Back to the house.
Qi Bosong took two cups, two pairs of chopsticks, a few dishes and an empty plate from the kitchen. Holding this pile of things, before leaving, I looked at Zhenxing's room. The light is still on in Zhenxing's room. Probably, she hasn't slept yet.
As soon as Li Ke saw that Qi Bosong was holding so many things, he hurriedly greeted him and took over the things in Qi Bosong's hand.
After 30 years of drinking, the two quickly opened the conversation.
Qi Bosong asked with a smile, "Is there anything new in the capital recently? How's the emperor?"
Li Ke sighed and picked up two peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth. After swallowing the peanuts, he said slowly, "Since the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing, the capital has not been peaceful in the past two years. Those who have money or no money want to go out of the gate, so as to avoid foreign devils coming in. However, it's not peaceful outside the gate. The red hair is there! The emperor now lives in Yingtai again, and the old empress dowager is in power. I heard that the emperor doesn't even take medicine now. All endure it!"
"Hey..." Qi Bo sighed.
Li Ke suddenly turned his eyes and asked with a smile, "Well, I don't work in the palace. Why do you go to such a place and live such a life? Is the life in Beijing not good?
Qi Bosong smiled, patted Li Ke on the shoulder, and asked with a smile, "I suddenly stopped. What's everyone's reaction? What do you say?"
"What can I say? I thought you were out of the customs. At that time, there were a lot of people outside the customs. If we bodyguards can't follow Xi'an, won't we escape outside the gate? Although it is a death penalty to be caught. However, who didn't save his life that year? The masters are back, where is there any in-depth study? Li Ke said with a smile.
"I haven't returned to Beijing in the past two years, and I don't know what the capital is like." Qi Bosong asked.
"What else can I do? It's a mess. It's you. Did you open the restaurant? I heard that the supermarket next door is also yours? You are so smart. If I had known, my brother would have followed you and suffered from that idleness in the capital!" Li Ke said with a smile.
Qi Bosong raised the glass, and the two drank all the wine in the glass. Qi Bosong hurriedly poured wine again, and the two tested each other how long they were going to test!
"Brother, have you married yet?" Qi Bosong asked.
Li Ke smiled and said with a smile, "Where is the blessing of your brother? Today's one is my sister-in-law, right? He looks handsome and can take good house. My daughter-in-law, who stays at home honestly every day, doesn't do it, just helps me!"
"You can't say that. It's difficult for one family. You see, the emperor is the same... Otherwise, Empress Zhen... hehe"
Qi Boxong looked at Li Ke's expression as he spoke.
When Li Ke heard that, she immediately said, "Said Princess Zhen, as soon as I saw her today, I felt that she really looked like Princess Zhen. However, she is more beautiful than the Empress Zhen. At that time, the brothers met the Empress Zhen, and only felt melancholy on their faces. Where can I be as cheerful as my sister-in-law?
Qi Boxong's heart sank, and in the end, he immediately recognized Zhen Xing. Whether he is just suspicious or sure now. Qi Boxong felt that it was necessary to get rid of Li Ke. Otherwise, it would be a disaster to let him return to the capital!
"The death of Concubine Zhen is miserable enough!" Qi Bosong said immediately.
Li Ke smiled and said no. Qi Boxong's heart thumped. It seemed that Li Ke saw something.
"How's your business? I think it's overcrowded today!" Li Ke said with a smile.
Qi Bosong immediately smiled and said modestly, "No, it's like this when it opens the next day. By the way, why do you suddenly want to come here?
Li Ke sneered and suddenly turned his head. His eyes were no longer muddle-headed after drinking, but a sharp look.
Qi Boxong's hand quietly reached to his thigh, and suddenly he was shocked. The dagger was left to Zhen Xing. If he fights with Li Ke, he may not win. The two of them have the same kung fu. After Li Ke is a famous general, his kung fu will not be worse than him. In the past two years, although he has not put down his time, he seldom fights with others. I'm afraid his hands are already strange.
Now that he is fighting with Li Ke, he can't guarantee whether he can win.
"Eunuch Cui in the palace entrusted me with something. My brother has been around the country in the past two years just to find someone." Li Ke said.
"Who?" Qi Bosong asked.
"You!" Li Ke said.
Qi Bosong was stunned at first, and then laughed. He smiled very happily, but his eyes were always staring at him immediately, and his whole body seemed to be surrounded by a valve. If Li Ke came rashly, he would not let him go!
However, Li Ke didn't seem to mean to hurt Qi Boxong. Instead, he looked at Qi Boxong calmly. Qi Boxong smiled and looked at Li Ke's hand. Li Ke turned his head and drank a glass of wine with a smile.
"Brother, I'm not kidding you. You and I know this matter. Grandpa Cui trusted me and asked me to run all over the north and south to find you. As for why, I think you also know. Li Ke said.
Qi Boxong smiled and immediately counterattacked, "I heard that Grandpa Cui has been expelled from the palace?"
"Big brother didn't hear that Eunuch Cui went to the palace again? He entered the palace for the second time, and he was the only one in the Qing Dynasty. Li Ke said.
Qi Bosong smiled, and a cold light appeared in his eyes.
