Chapter 413: Joke
Hu Jinghui also chimed in, "Yuan Fang, don't we brothers know about this yet?"
"The money that Cunxi got as an official these two years is still in his house. He has been out there for the past few years, and whenever he eats, we brothers have to pay for it."
"Even if Cunxi wanted to give him the money, he wouldn't be able to take out a penny, right?"
"You asked Cunxi to buy clothes for Miss Su, but Cunxi couldn't afford it. In the end, it all fell on your head."
Everyone burst out laughing.
Looking back on the past two years of traveling around with Li Cunxi, it seems that I have never seen Li Cunxi with money in his pocket.
This guy took them out, and all their food, drink, and toilet expenses were paid for by them.
If everyone is poor, they can just catch fish by the river and grill them.
But every time he went fishing, Li Cunxi would just hold a wooden stick and pretend to go fishing.
Speaking of Li Cunxi, he is really a bachelor. Damn, this guy looks so bright and handsome on weekdays, but you never see that he has empty pockets.
Li Cunxi also laughed out loud and took out five taels of silver from his pocket on the spot.
"Who said I never bring money when I go out?"
"Isn't this five taels?"
"It's just that I'm used to being frugal on weekdays, and Brother Yanhao is very generous, so I don't need to spend this money."
Everyone burst into laughter again, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that Su Xianer was a little addicted to it.
You know, she had never felt such a happy atmosphere before.
In the Snake Spirit world where everyone lives for revenge, the scene is extremely heavy and serious. It is hard to imagine anyone laughing like this.
"Okay, okay, I've already taken out the silver. If you don't mind, Brother Yuan Fang, when we get to the Turks, if Miss Su doesn't have enough clothes, I'll make her a set of clothes to keep her warm."
Li Cunxi happily put away the five taels of silver and continued to tease Li Yuanfang and Su Xianer.
Li Yuanfang said quickly: "Forget about the money. If I really want to buy clothes for Xian'er, I won't need you. Don't I have money?"
Hu Jinghui held his stomach and laughed, his eyes full of mockery.
As expected, Li Cunxi saw things clearly. Li Yuanfang likes people like Su Xianer.
Everyone was happy for a while and left the camp with their bags. Someone had already prepared tall horses and presented two long weapons to Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang.
Li Cunxi took a closer look and saw that the two long weapons were a five-clawed flying hook sickle spear and a pointed steel spear.
These two weapons played a great role as the cavalry weapons of Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang in the Battle of Tangzhou Plain two years ago.
The two men fought Yuan Qi and almost got beaten to death by Yuan Qi.
Today, everyone is traveling to the Turkic Empire. In the main battlefield of cavalry, long weapons will always be much more useful than the waist knives and chain knives of two people.
If a fight really breaks out, these two long weapons will be the real magic weapons.
Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang took the five-clawed flying hook and sickle spear and the pointed steel spear respectively and hung them on the victory hook.
"Everyone, let's set off!"
Li Cunxi waved his hand and led everyone on horseback and left.
In just an incense stick of time, the group of six had left Chongzhou and headed towards the Turks.
Just two cups of tea after the few people left, a fast horse galloped to the Chongzhou Governor's Mansion, and a constable rushed into the second hall and bowed to Qiu Jing.
"Report to the Lord, Li Fuyin, along with two Zhonglang Jiang, Qianniu Beishen, the shadow of the inner guard, and a girl, have left Chongzhou. I don't know where they are going."
Qiu Jing turned around and took a look at the map.
After a brief analysis, he said in a deep voice:
"He went to the Turks."
"He is indeed here to supervise the army."
"He left his headquarters and subordinates in Chongzhou to ensure that Wang Xiaojie's army could return to Chongzhou smoothly regardless of victory or defeat."
"And the reason why he went to the Turks in person was to make sure that Zhao Wenhui's army had passed through the Turks to attack Li Jinzhong."
"What a great Li Cunxi, he has been here to supervise the army from the beginning to the end."
"He didn't lie to me. I was just too cautious and almost gave myself away."
"But fortunately, now that Li Cunxi has left, I don't need to worry about these little things."
When Qiu Jing heard what Li Cunxi had done, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, he himself did not expose himself. If he had been exposed, Li Cunxi would not have taken away his power, but his life.
Since Li Cunxi made his debut, no official who was hostile to Li Cunxi in any case had a good ending.
Qiu Jing would never think that Li Cunxi would show leniency to him.
Therefore, the best explanation is that Li Cunxi did not notice anything strange about him at all.
He hides it well!
"Okay, cousins, please be careful during the next period of time."
"Don't show your true colors again and let Li Cunxi's subordinates find out."
"We can do whatever we want to achieve our goal, but we must not ruin Big Sister's plan. Otherwise, I'm sure everyone knows what the outcome will be."
"The Jin Mulan involved in the Youzhou case, even if she was the descendant of the Li family, what difference would that make? She still died in Youzhou."
Although Qiu Jing had calmed down, he was still worried about his subordinates, so he gave some instructions to the people in front of him.
This person was very smart, so he agreed and then slowly left.
Qiu Jing turned around with satisfaction and looked at the map again. He was already looking forward to the beautiful scene of Wang Xiaojie returning in defeat, Zhao Wenhui's army being annihilated, and Li Cunxi being fleeing in panic.
However, even if the Snake Spirits defeated Li Cunxi, the heir of the Li family who was at the peak of his power, they would never become proud and complacent.
Judging from Xiao Qingfang's attitude towards Li Cunxi, if Xiao Qingfang really established a regime in Chongzhou and competed with the Wu Zhou court, Li Cunxi would definitely be the second Di Renjie in Xiao Qingfang's mind.
As early as after the Youzhou case ended, when Jili Khan went to Chang'an to conclude an alliance with Wu Zetian, he asked Wu Zetian for Li Cunxi.
Wu Zetian refused at the time, saying that Li Cunxi was the next Di Renjie of the Zhou Dynasty.
Such an awesome person, and Xiao Qingfang values him so much, will definitely make Li Cunxi's status rise rapidly.
Qiu Jing recalled Li Cunxi, whose smile was as gentle as the spring breeze, and said helplessly:
"All of us have served as officials for half our lives, but in the end, we are still not as good as you, a junior who came later."
"In the Wu Zhou court, you can be a high-ranking official. When the eldest sister succeeds, you will be second only to the emperor and above all others."
"Unlike us, who have struggled for half our lives, in the end we can only guard one place, do trivial things, and sell our worthless lives for the emperor."
Qiu Jing was filled with emotion and was extremely envious of Li Cunxi, who suddenly emerged and made all his peers unable to raise their heads.
Among the history books full of heroes and great men, it seems that there are only a few who can be compared with Li Cunxi.
"Alas, I can't resist this rolling torrent after all. In the end, people like me are just shepherds."
