The world is big and small.

Even Li Dali, who had escaped from the capital more than ten years ago and considered himself an "old man", did not expect that he would meet Lu Xiao, the junior nephew in this small kiln town. Moreover, this junior nephew was still the leader of the group of court hawks who had been observing secretly and avoiding.

"Really," Li Dali lies on his bed and holds it in for a long time, and said four words. "Good luck makes people feel good."

Li Dali was very easy to fool around. He just cursed those who told Bai Shier that he jumped into the river and escaped were all lingering wives. By the way, he took out some pens or papers Lu Xiao brought from Xin'an County and even the capital to Sun Ji, and told the three people who were curious about why he returned so late because they were worried that there was no good goods in the town, so they ran to Xin'an County to buy the apology for Sun Ji.

Perhaps the three people in Dongsheng Inn would be a little suspicious, but they wouldn't be too suspicious either. After all, Li Dali was still back. Sun Jisheng ran to the city far away to trouble his boss Ma Yiming and hired a chef. Bai Shier also saved himself to support the operation of the inn alone, which would cost more physical and mental energy. Wang Jinbao didn't care. Whether Li Dali came back or not, what he had to do was always around the livestock in the backyard. If he served them, everything would be fine.

Therefore, although he was suspicious of Li Dali's disappearance for nearly a day, the three of them would not mention it again on the surface. After all, who doesn't have their own little secrets in life?

And in the Yuelai Inn opposite, Lu Xiao was in a little trouble.

As the highest commander of the Jinyiwei here, Li Dali, who was alone, was tracking off the track and escaped from the siege for nearly a day. It was obviously impossible to say that a group of fearful subordinates did not complain in their hearts. As the Jinyiwei, they all knew very well that if Lu Xiao had some mistakes, what would he faced.

Fortunately, the ancestors finally came back safely. From Zhao Qing to the lowest level of the Lishi in Yuelai Inn, everyone was relieved. Although Lu Xiao came back empty-handedly and seemed to have not caught Li Dali, they no longer dared to ask for more in their hearts. Then Li Dali ran away and ran away. Although he would be punished, it was much lighter than Lu Xiao's mistake.

But, immediately, they found out that they were wrong.

Because shortly after Lu Xiao came back, they were extremely shocked to find that in their thoughts, they had already escaped from Lu Xiao's hands. Now they must not know where to hide, Li Dali, who had already run to hide, actually returned to Dongsheng Inn with great swagger.

At this moment, all the Jinyiwei in Yuelai Inn fell to the ground, and everyone was thinking about a question, "What is this situation?"

They were suspicious in their hearts, so they naturally wanted to know the answer immediately, but Lu Xiao immediately returned to his residence after returning to the inn.

If Lu Xiao was just a captain, even if he was like the shopkeeper Zhao Qing, he was just a general flag, and they would have the courage to come forward and smiled and ask Lu Xiao what was going on. But after all, Lu Xiao was not the general flag, but a hundred households who were two levels higher than the general flag, and the highest commander of the Jinyiwei in the entire Xin'an County. Even if they were given one hundred courages, they would not dare to come over without opening their eyes.

Therefore, they could only put their hopes on Zhao Qing, who had the highest official position in the inn.

But Zhao Qing was much more nervous than them at this time. Since he discovered that Lu Xiao disappeared, he had already imagined three possible situations, and even had almost figured out the methods of these three situations. But who would have thought that it would be such a result that was completely beyond his imagination.

Therefore, even if he saw the gazes of his subordinates and the strong men, he would completely pretend that he could not see them. He sat at the counter, half-closed his eyes, and his head was running at high speed, hoping to find the possibility that best suits the current situation and the way to deal with it before Lu Xiao summoned him, and try his best to save his life. Of course, if possible, he would not mind even keeping his official position together.

When the subordinates were extremely curious, Zhao Qing was thinking with all his strength to save his life and official position, what was Lu Xiao in the room doing?

He is writing a letter.

Although Li Dali, the identity of Master Lu Xiao, seems to be fine in terms of words and martial arts, and even let Lu Xiao go when he was likely to take Lu Xiao's life. When Lu Xiao informed him of his identity and asked him to return to the town together, he quickly agreed, but Lu Xiao still did not dare to believe the other party in his heart. Therefore, he had to confirm with his father to see if Li Dali was really his uncle.

"Zhao Qing." He quickly wrote Li Dali's situation on paper, then followed the secret writing method between the father and son, copied it again, burned the previous plain text letter, put it in the belief, and sealed it with a sealing paint, Lu Xiao finally said the first sentence since he returned to Yuelai Inn.

"I'm here," Although I haven't figured out the confusion in my mind, and despite my great uneasiness in my heart, I don't know what kind of punishment I will be punished, Zhao Qing still had to bite the bullet and rushed to Lu Xiao as quickly as possible, "I don't know what instructions do the hundred households have?"

"Send someone to deliver this letter to the government in the capital as quickly as possible and hand it over to the family master." Lu Xiao handed the envelope forward slightly.

"Yes, I obey the order." Zhao Qing was a little stunned. He didn't know why Lu Xiao suddenly came out like this, but immediately, he came to his senses and immediately took the envelope from Lu Xiao's hand with respect, then moved his lips slightly, wanting to ask about Li Dali.

But Lu Xiao snatched before him and opened his mouth first.

"After receiving this letter, Jia Zun should reply to me. Don't come back immediately if you receive Jia Zun's reply. You can return." At this point, Lu Xiao paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then spoke again, "People will leave tonight. Remember, you must be fast and keep it confidential. Do you understand?"

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Zhao Qing was actually relieved when he heard this, because Lu Xiao ordered him to do something this time, but a private matter such as sending a letter to the capital. This is enough to prove that he had not yet fallen into the worst situation in Lu Xiao's heart.

But before that, Lu Xiao ordered him to do his best and attach great importance to it. Now, he seems to be not wanting to mention it again, and even thinks it has never happened. What happened on this day can change Lu Xiao's attitude so much.

"What?" Looking at Zhao Qing who received the order, he was still standing there with the envelope in his hand. Lu Xiao frowned slightly and asked with some displeasure, "Do you have any questions?"

"No, no," Zhao Qing quickly shook his head subconsciously and wanted to leave. After all, Lu Xiao didn't seem to care about Li Dali anymore. Then he, who had done his job, seemed to be pushing the boat, and pretended that nothing happened, which was naturally the most beneficial to him.

But that's how people are. The more Lu Xiao doesn't pursue this matter, the more curious Zhao Qing is about it. He wants to explore the truth, even if he knows that doing so will definitely not be beneficial to him.

More importantly, Zhao Qing didn't understand what Lu Xiao meant. He didn't pursue this matter at all, or did he just not pursue it for the time being, or he wanted to use this matter as a handle for him in the future. So, although he knew that it might anger Lu Xiao and cause trouble, Zhao Qing gritted his teeth and decided to ask.

"But, Baihu, then Li Dali..."

"Don't ask too much about things you shouldn't ask." Hearing Zhao Qing's tone of seventy-seven-point caution and three-point inquiry, Lu Xiao's face instantly turned cold, "You have been joining the Jinyiwei for a long time than me. Do you don't even understand this principle? Or do you want me to teach you now?"

"I don't dare!" I realized the faint murderous intent behind Lu Xiao's cold face, Zhao Qing instantly calmed down his little thoughts. Even if there was no mistake on weekdays, it would be of no benefit to annoy Shangguan. What's more, I just did a mess of my job. "I'm talking too much, and I'll ask hundreds of households to forgive me."

"Hmph!" He snorted lightly, as if he was quite satisfied with Zhao Qing's attitude. Lu Xiao's face eased a little. "It is normal for people to be curious, but before you resort to it, don't forget your identity, do you understand?"

"Thank you for your teachings." Zhao Qing breathed a sigh of relief. "The subordinate took his leave."

"Yes." Lu Xiao nodded without comment.

Zhao Qing bowed and left the room, and respectfully closed the door. Lu Xiao sat upright on the chair, holding a tea bowl, and slightly closed his eyes, as if he was enjoying the fragrance of tea.

But when he heard that Zhao Qing's steps had already left, Lu Xiao's expression suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief on his face, with a little glory and a little proud look on his face.

Even though he is mature and steady, or even cruel and gloomy, he is still a young man in his twenties.

Although he was impulsive and wanted to stabilize Li Dali, he asked his father Lu Xin whether Li Dali was really his uncle. Lu Xiao asked Li Dali to return to Yao Town and return to Dongsheng Inn, but until he returned to the town with Li Dali, Lu Xiao did not come up with a perfect enough reason, enough to convince his subordinates not to doubt this matter and the reason for doubting Li Dali.

After all, unlike the Dongsheng Inn where Li Dali stayed, although Yuelai Inn is nominally just a luxurious inn, it is the base of the Jinyiwei after all, and everyone in it is the Jinyiwei. Even if he is Shangguan, if he does not give a reasonable explanation, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problem.

At that time, the implication of Li Dali will be completely exposed, and the failure to be captured is small. If it is implicated by himself and his father, it will be a real disaster.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiao couldn't help but feel a little headache and began to regret it. At that time, he shouldn't have taken over the burden and asked Li Dali to follow him back. He just left the matter. When he came back, he could still use the excuse of not being able to seize the other party, and at the same time he threw all the blame down Zhao Qing, the subordinate who had done the job, but now, how should he do it?

Fortunately, as one of the hundreds of households in charge of Xin'an County, he has the largest official position. He has forced himself to suppress it for a while, and it seems that there should be no big problem.

"I just hope my father's experience has helped me think of a solution." Standing in front of the window, I saw the strong man in the backyard who was following the order of Zhao Qing and was leading the horse away, Lu Xiao murmured in a low voice, putting his hope on his father.

...

"Hey, what happened in this Yuelai Inn? Why is it almost dark this day? Someone left on horseback?" It was getting late, and Wang Jinbao, who was closing the door, heard the familiar sound of horse hooves. He immediately followed the sound and happened to see the Jinyiwei Lishi who was riding his horse and whipped it away. He couldn't help but be amazed.

"How do you know that this is from Yuelai Inn? Maybe the customer who invested in the store suddenly had something urgent to leave?" Sun Ji was in a good mood after getting the good paper, pen and ink that Li Dali brought from Lu Xiao. He turned into a gangster and teased Wang Jinbao.

"Hmph, we have been opposite each other for almost half a year. Can we not even recognize the people on the other side?" Wang Jinbao took it seriously, and immediately snorted and counterattacked with an unhappy look.

"Haha," Sun Ji was immediately happy when he saw that he took it seriously. "You guy, it's really a pity to make you a guy serving animals. You should be the fast-track yamen runner who pursues criminals. Everyone you have seen before will definitely be able to run away."

"Okay, shopkeeper, don't tease Brother Jinbao," Bai Shier on the side was a little overwhelmed and said to the point, "It's going to be dark soon this day. You'd better go home quickly. Today I got so many good treasures from Brother Dali, so I have to send them home and hide them so that my aunt would see them, and would lose her temper again, and scold you for being wasted money randomly."

"Haha, you are just a little stingy." Although Bai Shier's words were a little damaged, Sun Ji was not angry so easily. After laughing and scolding twice, he packed up the gift he had been enjoying for a long time, and after giving Bai Shier and Wang Jinbao as usual, he left the inn.

After putting on most of the door panels and leaving a door for guests who might come to stay, Wang Jinbao turned around and went to the backyard. It was getting late. Compared to the front of the table, chairs, benches, the livestock behind were more important. Before closing the door, he had to check it again. This has been his habit for many years.

Of course, after the inspection was completed, he could not rest. As for the previous one, he would naturally leave it to Bai Shier.

In the lively lobby just now, only Bai Shier was left in a flash.

If it were in the past, after Wang Jinbao left, Bai Shier would immediately end everything in his hands, close the door and go back to rest early, but today he was just like normal, leaning on the counter so blankly, recalling all the unusual things that happened in this day in his mind.
