Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 189: Many Right and Wrong Things

Li Qingnu led Qi Xuansu and Liu Hu to the second floor. After a while, Su Chou and Long Wuji also came here under the guidance of the maid.

Long Wuji was not surprised that Qi Xuansu would be here. He had expected it when the maid came to invite Qi Xuansu. The only thing that surprised him was that Liu Hu, who originally looked like a boy, turned into a girl.

Su Chou was a little surprised, and even had some unspeakable concern.

It was inevitable to be a little nervous when a strange man suddenly appeared beside the girl he liked.

At this time, Li Qingnu turned back into the well-mannered big courtesan, no longer Li Qingnu who didn't care about her own image and vented her emotions in front of Qi Xuansu.

Everyone is complicated, with two faces, or even more faces.

As strong as Zhang Yuelu is, she also has a fragile side in the dead of night.

Liu Hu can kill people coldly with a fire gun, and imitate the story characters in the story book like a child.

Li Qingnu was no exception. At this moment, she was like a lady from a noble family. Her every move was in accordance with the rules. She was approachable and did not keep people away.

Because Li Qingnu had known Su Chou for a long time, after a brief greeting, Li Qingnu went straight to the point: "The reason why Qingnu held the martial arts competition this time was not for entertainment, but because she encountered difficulties, so she had an unwelcome request."

Su Chou said seriously: "Miss Li, please go ahead."

Li Qingnu smiled and waved to Liu Hu.

Liu Hu glanced at Qi Xuansu, then came to Li Qingnu's side.

Li Qingnu was still sitting, holding Liu Hu's shoulder with her hand, and said: "This girl is my niece. Because of some changes in the family, I want to send her to my uncle in Liaodong. But because of my status, it is not convenient for me to send her there in person..."

Long Wuji suddenly said: "Just now this little girl called this brother Wei uncle, so what is the relationship between brother Wei and Miss Li?"

Qi Xuansu was prepared: "We are sworn brothers and sisters. I am the third, Qingnu is the fourth, and Xiaohu's adoptive father is our second brother. As for the rest, I'm sorry I can't tell you."

"I understand, I understand." Long Wuji nodded, "But I didn't expect Miss Li to have such a wide range of friends."

Li Qingnu smiled and said nothing.

Qi Xuansu continued, "Our second brother is actually much older than Qingnu and I, so he has made many enemies in the martial arts world. It is inevitable that some people will set their sights on Xiaohu. To be honest, I have also met some outlaws along the way, but I have already sent them away. Logically speaking, I should be a good person and personally send Xiaohu to her uncle in Liaodong, but I just got the news that something happened to my second brother, so I have to rush back in advance, so the next part of the journey can only be handed over to my fourth sister."

Li Qingnu took over the conversation: "Of course, I also want to personally escort my niece to Liaodong, but I have no choice but to ask someone to do it for me, so I held this martial arts competition. Since Young Master Su won, what do you think, Young Master Su?"

Su Chou was about to agree, but was held down by Long Wuji.

Long Wuji said: "Miss Li, from what you two brothers and sisters said, this trip to Liaodong will not be smooth sailing. It is not reasonable to order people around for nothing."

Su Chou showed impatience, and even wanted to pay money to help, but was held down by Long Wuji.

Li Qingnu smiled and said: "The journey is long and the mountains are high, I will prepare some money, please rest assured."

Su Chou finally couldn't hold back and said: "It's just a small matter, a little effort, why do you need any money."

Qi Xuansu finally understood why Long Wuji was so disappointed.

"Brothers should settle accounts clearly, one thing is one thing." Qi Xuansu said, "Young Master Su should accept it."

Li Qingnu glanced at Qi Xuansu without leaving a trace. She was afraid of traitors in everything. She wanted to save some money for peace of mind, but now it seems that she can't save it.

Qi Xuansu was not jealous of others, nor did he want Li Qingnu to spend more and take less money because he took a thousand Taiping money. He felt that taking money from others would help them get rid of disasters. Su Chou and Long Wuji would be more careful after taking the Taiping money and would not make any mistakes.

Long Wuji also said: "Brother Wei is talking about feelings and reason. Let's deal with it one by one. We won't take more than we should, and we won't take less than we should."

Su Chou wanted to say something, but Long Wuji said anxiously: "Why don't you go by yourself?"

Su Chou was about to agree, but Long Wuji added: "If there is any mistake, I don't know how you can face Miss Li."

Su Chou stopped talking.

Taiping money is still a small matter. The key is not to disappoint Miss Li. If he wants to be safe, he really can't do without Long Wuji.

Li Qingnu had been smiling and silent, and finally said at this time: "Young Master Su, don't refuse."

For Su Chou, Li Qingnu's words are worth thousands of words from others, and he agreed immediately.

The next step was to explain the details, where to go in Liaodong, who to find, how to find, how much Taiping money to give, who else to go with besides Su Chou and Long Wuji, these were all things that Li Qingnu had to worry about. It couldn't be said that it had nothing to do with Qi Xuansu, but it really didn't matter much.

Qi Xuansu didn't get involved.

As they were talking, Li Qingnu's personal maid walked in quickly, with a bit of panic on her face, interrupted the conversation, and walked straight to Li Qingnu.

Everyone looked at her.

The personal maid walked around the back of the chair and whispered in Li Qingnu's ear: "Miss, someone from the Lu family is here."

Li Qingnu stood up suddenly. Su Chou also became nervous, looking first at the personal maid and then at Li Qingnu.

There are three major families in Taiping Road. The Li family is the first, followed by the Lu family and the Shen family. The three families are related by marriage to each other. Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Lu family and the Shen family are vassals of the Li family, the Lu family and the Shen family are not inferior to the Pei family and the Qi family of Quanzhen Taoism, and they should not be underestimated.

The Lu family is not only a vassal of the Li family, but also an in-law and ally of the Li family. Compared to the Shen family, the Lu family has advanced and retreated with the Li family long before the Taoist revival, and can even be traced back to the Taiping Dao Yellow Turban Rebellion. At that time, the Zhengyi sect at that time was still called Tianshijiao. Therefore, many times, the Li family had to accommodate the Lu family, mainly to appease them.

Li Qingnu relies on the Li family and is not afraid of many people, but the Lu family is an exception.

But she couldn't get into trouble first, and immediately pretended to be relaxed and said: "I understand, go and ask them to wait for a moment."

Then she looked at Su Chou and Long Wuji: "I have to excuse myself first, please wait a moment."

Su Chou immediately said: "I will accompany you there."

Just as Li Qingnu was about to refuse, Qi Xuansu also said: "You are the only one here. You have the final say, but you have to support it alone. It is difficult to deal with it, so we should go together."

Li Qingnu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "

Although she doesn't like Qi Xuansu, she admits that Qi Xuansu still has some strength. After all, Qiniang has the channel, and she knows more about Qi Xuansu.

The group of people left the pavilion and walked out. When they were halfway there, they suddenly heard someone say: "Li Qingnu."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a group of people walking towards this side. In the middle was a carriage, with a man sitting on it, with a white face and no beard, white clothes and a jade belt, a golden crown on his head, and a folding fan in his hand. He looked like a noble prince.

Li Qingnu stopped and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "Master Lu."

The carriage came in a meandering way and slowly stopped about three feet away from Zhang Yuelu. The people surrounding the carriage also lined up one after another. They were all in good spirits, not mediocre.

This is a member of the Lu family.

Mr. Lu sat upright on the throne, with no intention of getting down. He just sat upright and said, "Li Qingnu, I invited you to visit the house several times, but you refused them all. I have to come and invite you in person. Do you really think of yourself as the eldest lady of the Li family? "

Li Qingnu said calmly: "You can invite Mr. Lu, but I don't have to go. There is no reason why I have to go because Mr. Lu invites you. Could it be that Mr. Lu regards himself as the eldest son of the Li family?"

Mr. Lu's face was gloomy, and he glanced at Qi Xuansu, Su Chou and others: "I heard that you are holding a martial arts competition. Is this the minister you selected?"

Li Qingnu asked, "What do you want?"

"Not at all." Mr. Lu sneered, "It's just a one or two competition, how about it?"
