Chapter 361: Leaving Beijing
Atui was not interested in these official arguments. After following Song Guichen and listening for a while, he became bored, so he simply quickened his pace and ran ahead, leaving Du Qi and Du Qi far away for a while.

This Luoluo Mountain is lined with green trees and the mountain road is winding. The farther back you go, the fewer people on the road become sparse. Li Cui ran and performed kung fu exercises all the way, which was very enjoyable.

While he was gesticulating, he suddenly heard a low roar in his ears. Li Cui stepped forward and looked around. What he saw was incredible. When he saw a pair of big tiger eyes in front of him, Li Cui was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. His whole body became stiff and motionless. Dare to move.

Looking around, there was no one except myself.

Li Cui secretly thought it was bad luck.

No wonder Ah Qi said this morning that he would suffer a bloody disaster. He was really like a crow! The good ones don’t work, the bad ones work!

The tiger was obviously very hungry and was very interested in the food that was delivered to him. He stared at Li Cui slowly and tried to get closer step by step.

Li Cui didn't even have a piece of wood in his hand. When the tiger took a step closer, he took a step back.

After a long confrontation, the tiger finally lost patience and rushed towards Li Cui. Li Cui hurriedly dodged and hid behind the tiger. The tiger jumped, and Li Cui hid again.

This move opened the distance between him and the tiger. Using his hands and feet, Li Cui quickly climbed to the cliff and hugged the trees between the cliffs, praying that the tiger would not come up.

The tiger was not willing to lose its food, so it roared under the rock and tried to jump on the rock several times, but failed.

One person and one tiger, just facing each other.

This tiger is obviously in conflict with him, and there is no way to stay in such a stalemate. If he delays for a moment, Sister Song and Brother Aqi will arrive, and they will fall into the tiger's mouth. Li Cui thought this, and suddenly became cruel and used all his strength. Break off a thick branch, and the break will be extremely sharp.

He stared intently at the tiger a few feet away from the cliff, and suddenly let go of his hand and jumped off the cliff. The tree stump in his hand hit the tiger's neck, and blood immediately flowed out.

Li Cui didn't dare to neglect. He raised his stick and hit the tiger dozens more times. Then he relaxed a little and checked whether the tiger was dead. When he saw that the tiger had died, he was immediately deflated and fainted to the ground.

When Li Cui woke up, it was already noon on the third day.

"You're awake." Du Qi put down the book and brought a glass of water, "You are the only one I've seen who dares to fight a tiger."

Li Cui moved his hands and feet, and then he felt the burning pain where the tiger bit him. He grinned and asked, "How did I get back?"

"How else can you come back? The monks from the temple on the mountain will help carry you back."

Li Cui said: "The tiger is in Luoluo Mountain, and it is not far from the temple. I am doing harm to their temple, so they should send me down the mountain."

Seeing his proud look, Du Qi couldn't help but laugh: "It's been widely spread outside that you are now the tiger-fighting hero of Kaifeng Mansion."

Hearing this, Li Cui became even more proud: "For a tiger of that size, I'm not afraid of two more, ah - it hurts, it hurts -"

Du Qi patted Li Cui's wound hard, successfully stopping Li Cui from boasting.

Li Cui wailed for a while, not angry, but plaintively: "Brother Aqi, when I looked at the tiger, I almost thought I would never see you again. I just thought, if I was eaten by a tiger, You will be sad, so I can't be eaten by a tiger, and I don't want to be separated from Brother Aqi."

Du Qi sighed, patted Li Cui on the shoulder, stood up and said, "Lie down and have a good rest."

Li Cui reluctantly looked at Du Qi's leaving figure, sighed as well, lay down with a grin on his face, and fell asleep in a daze. In the dream, he went back to his childhood. His mother was dead, his father was dead, and the surrounding area was completely white. He couldn't escape no matter how hard he ran. Fortunately, he had Brother Ah Qi. Brother Ah Qi, who never talked to others, only spoke to himself. , has been comforting and encouraging himself, but Brother Aqi's parents are also dead. He knows that Brother Aqi is suffering as much as himself.

He decided to protect Brother Ah Qi for the rest of his life.

In the dream, he grew up, and Brother Aqi also grew up. He saw Aqi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Every time he saw them, his heart trembled, and he did not dare to look further.

In the living room, Du Qingshan held an invitation and frowned slightly.

The invitation was from the mansion of the eldest princess of the Deng Kingdom, and specified that the prince of the Du mansion was invited to enjoy the chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival.

The eldest princess of Deng State is the daughter of Emperor Taizong and the sister of Emperor Zhenzong. She is married to General Zuowei Chai Zongqing. After the current official ascended the throne, she was granted the title of eldest princess of Deng State. No one in the entire court would dare to refuse her invitation. .

Du Qingshan reluctantly put down the invitation.

It seems that Aqi's marriage cannot be delayed.

He walked to the inner courtyard and handed the invitation to Song Guichen: "The eldest princess is not interested in drinking, but in choosing a prince-in-law for the princesses in the palace. This matter needs to be taken care of by the lady."

Song Guichen looked at it and smiled helplessly: "In the spring examination, Ah Qi was neither humble nor arrogant, and answered the questions calmly. He stood out among the many candidates and was deeply loved by the Holy Emperor. It was expected that he would be targeted by these princesses and princesses."

"Although he is loved by the Holy Emperor, Ah Qi's temperament is too upright and upright. He used to be fine when he was young, but now he is older and has attracted so many people's attention in the capital. If he is recruited by any princess or princess in the future, he will be in trouble. If you do things in court, you may suffer big losses.”

"In your opinion, how do you want to treat me?"

"Xiao Chen." Du Qingshan said seriously, "To be honest, I have already submitted a petition to request an imperial decree to be transferred to Liangzhe as the transport envoy. The decree will come down before the end of the year at the latest. By then, Ah Qi will also go with us."

Hearing this, Song Guichen was not surprised.

She knew that Du Qingshan had long wanted to stay away from the capital, a place of right and wrong. Moreover, since she had been away from her master for many years, it was time to go back and have a look. It was hard for him to think so thoughtfully.

"I have said everything that should be said and should not be said about the eldest princess's chrysanthemum appreciation party." Song Guichen joked, "I originally planned to find a sweetheart for our Ah Qi, but now there is no chance. ”

Both Ah Qi and At Cui have reached the age of engagement. Song Guichen has paid close attention to them over the years, but although there are many noble girls in the capital, none of them can match Ah Qi and At Cui.

"This kind of thing still depends on their own wishes."

Song Guichen believed it, but she recalled what Ah Qi said on Luoluo Mountain that day, and she couldn't help but asked with some worry: "Have you told Ah Qi about your transfer? With Ah Qi's temperament, I'm afraid I won’t leave Beijing with you.”

As Song Guichen expected, Du Qi heard that Du Qingshan was about to be transferred to Zhejiang and Zhejiang. He was also happy that his brother got what he wanted, but at the same time he was a little depressed. Du Qingshan saw his depression and asked Why was he unhappy? Du Qi said firmly: "Brother, I want to stay in the capital."

Du Qingshan was surprised. In his opinion, his younger brother was obsessed with the study of yin and yang arithmetic and was not interested in officialdom. He even took part in the spring examination at his own request. Jiangsu and Zhejiang should be very attractive to him. That was right, so he asked Du Qi why he wanted to stay.

Du Qi explained his ideas one by one.

Du Qingshan had no choice but to agree: "You have such ambitions. As a brother, I won't say anything more. It's just that you are alone in Beijing, so be careful about everything."
