After escorting the little Emperor Tianqi, who was wearing a little eunuch's costume, into the palace gate, Li Yuanqing turned around and left, quickly returned to the Huguang Guild Hall opposite the Sanfu Inn, changed his clothes, and asked the soldiers to bandage his wounds.

There were five or six wounds on Li Yuanqing's body. The largest one was about the size of a baby's fist. The pain was really unbearable.

Fortunately, with the trip to the North, Changsheng Camp has already gained a lot of experience in dealing with this problem.

Clean the dirt on the wound with strong alcohol, apply badger oil, and wrap it firmly with a bandage, so you don't have to worry about any sequelae.

As for scars, Li Yuanqing already has countless scars on his body. Furthermore, he is a grown man and naturally he will not care about these many scars.

However, during this process, even though Li Yuanqing was heartbroken, he was still sweating in pain.

Yang Jiao's mother, who had just finished bandaging and changed into a servant outfit, hurried over and asked, "Yuan Qing, what happened?"

The structure of Wuyu Pavilion is more rigorous than that of Sanfu Inn. The main reason is that Sanfu Inn purchased someone else's ready-made courtyard, and the time is short, so there is no time for more precise transformation.

Adjacent to Wuyu Pavilion and Sanfu Inn is an artificial lake covering an area of ​​three or four acres. The fire was stopped when it reached the lake and did not spread to Wuyu Pavilion.

Seeing Yang Jiao's mother's concerned eyes, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

According to the regulations of Li Yuanqing's harem at this time, if Yang Jiao's mother returned to Changsheng Island, she would be at least in the top three, just behind Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu, and enjoy the treatment of an equal wife.

The scholar-bureaucrat class in the Ming Dynasty enjoyed the system of polyandry and concubines.

When it reaches a certain level, you can add more equal wives, usually two.

The biggest difference between wives and concubines is that wives and husbands are basically equal and can own property and slaves, while concubines are just slaves of the master and his wife.

Although Yang Jiao's mother came from a humble background, at this time, she and Li Yuanqing could no longer be separated.

Li Yuanqing smiled and shook Yang Jiao's little hand, "Jiao~ mother, this incident is just an accident. However, I have been pushed to the forefront, and I may have to stay away for some time. These days, Wuyu Pavilion

You must keep a low profile when it comes to our operations. Remember, don’t cause any trouble. Even if we don’t make any money and close down.”

Yang Jiao's mother nodded quickly and did not ask what happened, "Yuan Qing, when do you plan to leave?"

This is the biggest advantage of a mature woman. She is far from being an ignorant girl who has to get entangled in everything.

Li Yuanqing thought for a moment and said, "Let's do it tonight."

After thinking for a while, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "The emperor actually wants to reward me with Rainbow Girl, how can I dare to accept it? I have so many dreams during the long nights!"

With Yang Jiao's shrewdness, she understood Li Yuanqing's meaning in an instant, and hurriedly whispered: "Yuan Qing, you, you are saying that the Hakka family may..."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "So, I must bear this blame."

Li Yuanqing said, smiling and hugging Yang Jiao~Mother's slender waist, and kissed her heavily on her red lips, "Jiao~Mother, how much cash does Wuyu Pavilion have now?"

Yang Jiao's mother hurriedly said: "There are about three hundred thousand taels left. Yuan Qing, if you want to use them, you can take them all."

Li Yuanqing smiled and shook his head, "I probably still have nearly 500,000 taels here, which is enough to last for a while. Jiao~ Mom, we can make money anytime, but we only have one life. Take good care of Sanlang

.In a few days, our family will be able to return to Changsheng Island to reunite."

Yang Jiao's mother couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, tears welling up in her eyes, "Yuan Qing, don't worry. Sanlang is my life and root, I will definitely leave the best to him."

…………

Seeing Yang Jiao's mother leaving reluctantly, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

As the saying goes, women are made of water and they always need to be coaxed by men, no matter how strong they are!

This matter can be regarded as a game within a game, a trap within a trap, and the revelation of Rainbow Girl's affairs was enough for Yang Jiao~mother to think about for a while, and it also made her realize Li Yuanqing's trust and concern for her.

As for Queen Zhang, let it rot in the wind like fallen leaves blown by the autumn wind.

As for women, how could the young Emperor Tianqi be Li Yuanqing's opponent?

At this time, Niu Gensheng ran in quickly, "Master, everyone has gathered. There are twenty-three people in total. One of Rainbow Girl's maids and a turtle slave were trapped in the fire scene and did not escape."

Li Yuanqing nodded.

This time, Empress Zhang brought a total of seven young eunuchs, and on Miss Rainbow's side, in addition to twelve maids, there were four turtle slaves and two women, a total of eighteen people.

Including the seven people on Queen Zhang's side, the total number is twenty-five.

The number of people has been matched.

"Move quickly and transport it out of the city directly after finishing it." Li Yuanqing gave the order calmly.

"Yes!" Niu Gensheng hurriedly left.

Not long after, a scream came from the next room, but it disappeared in an instant, and the strong smell of blood began to dissipate.

Li Yuanqing's brows frowned slightly, but he quickly returned to normal and strode out of the door.

Next to him, Niu Gensheng and seven or eight soldiers, covered in blood, were walking out of the house. When they saw Li Yuanqing, everyone hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Li Yuanqing waved his hand, "Please clean up this place quickly and change your clothes."

"Yes!" Several people hurriedly went to work.

Li Yuanqing came downstairs, asked the waiter to fry a few simple side dishes, cut two kilograms of cooked mutton, and started to drink lightly.

Originally, Li Yuanqing wanted to invite He Chong, He Yu's uncle and nephew, and several other generals from Jiubian tonight to have a drink together and get to know each other better, but at this time, it was obviously impossible to achieve this situation.

Li Yuanqing waved his hand to a soldier, gave him ten silver notes, and asked him to send them to them, which could be regarded as compensation and gift money for them.

There were soldiers guarding the door, and Niu Gensheng was outside to greet him. Officials from the Military and Horse Department and the court who came later could not come to disturb Li Yuanqing.

Almost everything has been strangled in the cradle, just waiting for the subsequent layout.

…………

The fire continued until dark before it was extinguished. The six-seven acres of Sanfu Inn's house had now completely turned into ruins, with ruins and ravines that made it almost impossible to look straight at it.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had changed into a slave outfit, appeared in the secret passage under Sanfu Inn, and found Queen Zhang huddled in the corner.

"Baozhu, are you okay?"

Looking at Empress Zhang who looked like a wounded little beast, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He quickly stepped forward and hugged her hard.

Empress Zhang seemed to be in a daze, and it took her a moment to react. She threw herself into Li Yuanqing's arms, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Even though she is a queen, she is not yet eighteen years old and is still just a little girl.

Li Yuanqing patted her back gently, "Baozhu, it's okay. Everything is over. A new life has begun."

The scorching fire above has already scorched the surface of the earth. Even though the secret room is seven or eight meters below, it still feels like a 'steamed bun', no, it feels like a 'roasted gopher'.

God knows how Zhang Baozhu persisted.

Feeling Li Yuanqing's most familiar aura, Zhang Baozhu's mood gradually stabilized. Suddenly, she bit Li Yuanqing's shoulder forcefully, "If you dare to betray me, I will never let you go even if you are a ghost."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "I'm not stupid. I don't know how to cherish a beautiful woman like you. Wouldn't it be kicked in the head by a donkey? I brought you some food and water. You can eat some first. Wait, you change.

Clothes, let’s leave the city right away.”

Zhang Baozhu nodded obediently, opened Li Yuanqing's package, and his eyes lit up.

Inside, there was a piece of warm meat pie, a plate of fried mutton slices, a bunch of grapes, and two pieces of her favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

As the saying goes, ‘Details determine success or failure’.

Even though Zhang Baozhu had become Li Yuanqing's favorite at this time, Li Yuanqing still did not dare to neglect him at all.

Seeing Zhang Baozhu take a grape and carefully put it in his mouth, Li Yuanqing smiled, picked up the chopsticks, picked up two pieces of mutton, and handed it to her red lips, "Baozhu, we have to go on a journey tonight, you only eat this

It's not enough. Come on, I'll feed you."

Zhang Baozhu was both shy and happy. After a moment, she opened her mouth obediently.

…………

Around 8 o'clock, seventy or eighty soldiers, escorting several carriages, arrived at Guangqumen.

At this time, it happened to be the time when the city gate was closed. The soldiers guarding the city were tired after a day's work and were thinking about where to go for a good meal. When they saw Li Yuanqing's team, their eyes lit up.

The drawbridge was about to be raised and the city gate was about to be lowered. A guarding officer hurriedly shouted: "Stop! What are you doing? Why are you leaving the city at this hour?"

Niu Gensheng smiled, hurriedly walked up to meet him, took out Li Yuanqing's silver token, and handed over several silver notes in his other hand, "Brothers, we are from Liao. My general has important business and needs to leave the city."

.”

One look at the silver token and the silver note in his hand, and a fool will know how to make a choice.

The city guard officer hurriedly smiled and said: "Even if there is an important task, brothers, please hurry up, the city gate will be closed soon. If the time is delayed, brothers will not be able to bear this responsibility!"

Niu Gensheng smiled quickly and said: "Yes, yes. Brother, take the people away immediately."

After a moment, the suspension bridge was lowered, the city gate was raised, and a group of people filed out.

Li Yuanqing did not return to the camp outside Guangqumen, but went straight to Dagukou overnight.

Although the meat has reached his mouth, it has not been eaten yet. In this regard, Li Yuanqing will never dare to be negligent in the slightest.

At the camp outside Guangqumen, because Qu Mingrui has not completely taken over the goods, he will stay there for a few days, and in addition to the affairs in the city, some soldiers need to be left behind.

Li Yuanqing led more than 60 soldiers and escorted several carriages all the way. On the next night, he finally arrived at Dagokou successfully.

Although the journey was tiring, Li Yuanqing was in excellent spirits.

After a while, he personally came to the first carriage and welcomed Wan'er and her son inside to get out of the carriage.
