Horse on the World

Chapter 42 The Identity of Mingyan

Tao Ranju Mingyan was overjoyed at Li Qing's re-visit. The last time Li Qing appeared in surprise but disappeared. After thinking about it, I knew that the last time this elegant and elegant military general came here was for Huan Ji, and I couldn't help being more curious about Li Qing. It is rare for a general to have such immunity to a woman like himself.
Welcoming a group of people in, compared with Xiao Yuanshan's feast of big fish and meat, this place is much lighter and more elegant, with a few seasonal dishes, a few dishes of exquisite snacks, a few jugs of warm wine, accompanied by tea The Qingyue zither music has a beautiful artistic conception and is not interesting.
Both Lu Dalin and Li Qing understood this kind of meeting, they didn't need to say anything, they just drank and ate food, talked about love affairs, occasionally involving the military, and only talked about some interesting things in the army during the day, nothing else was involved. It was fun and the laughter continued.As for the brave man Lu Dabing, he doesn't care about the intersection with Li Qing, anyway, he just needs to keep up with his elder brother. Sitting in the banquet, a pair of bull's eyes just glanced at Mingyan's body, very curious, What is puzzling is that Mingyan is not so outstanding in appearance, why go to Nengmi Dingzhou, so that those masters in Dingzhou flock to her, and take pride in being able to meet and drink with her?
Needless to say, Lu Dalin, as far as he is now, he has a good relationship with Li Qing, and it is no loss for him to reach the Li family line. Now that he has no soldiers or generals, Xiao Yuan is no longer How to suspect him, of course, it is too early to let him board Li's ship now, as long as Xiao Yuanshan does not collapse, he will never change the ship rashly.

For Li Qing, the relationship with Lu Dalin is just to lay a dark chess game in the future. Whether it can be used is still a matter of opinion, but everything can be done if it is forewarned, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned. It can be used.
For this kind of meeting, both of them were very relaxed. This time, Lu Dalin really drank a little too much. At the second watch, when the music ended, without Lu Dabing's help, he really couldn't stand still.

The three of them walked out of the small building and were about to bid farewell when Mingyan's personal maid, Qing'er, hurried over, greeted Li Qingfu, and said crisply: "Master Li, miss, please stay."

Li Qing couldn't help being startled, and looked at Qing'er full of inquiries.The drunken Lu Dalin laughed loudly, "Brother Li, you are blessed, you are blessed. It is said that although this Mingyan girl is famous far and wide, she has not yet been the guest of honor. It seems that this person has fallen on you, brother, brother." Here I wish you a happy tonight, want to die, hahaha!" Amid wild laughter, he staggered away.

Confused Li Qing returned to the small building, the room had already been cleaned up, after welcoming Li Qing to the small building, Qing'er closed the door and left quietly.Looking at the red candles held high in the empty room, and the cigarettes lingering around, Li Qing couldn't help but feel swayed in his heart. Could it be that the luck of the peach blossoms is really hitting him head-on, and this tea smoke is going to stay with him overnight?

The door slammed lightly, Li Qing turned around, and saw that Ming Yan had changed her attire, the pink gauze dress she was wearing had been taken off, and she was replaced by a plain green shirt, with all the heavy makeup on her face gone , face up to the sky.Compared with before, the color of the wind and dust is gone, but it is a young lady next door.

"Worthy of being the top of the flowers, she really masters the changes of her identity very well, and she can pretend to be whatever she looks like!" Li Qing praised secretly in her heart.
"Under Li's sect, Mingyan, Shadow Dingzhou Branch, kowtow to the young master!" Mingyan bowed down low, and the words that spit out of Yingying Cherry's small mouth made Li Qing suddenly become a fool.
spy?Beauty spy?Spy?No matter what, Li Qing couldn't connect these words with the woman in front of him. Looking at Mingyan who was prostrating in front of him, he was speechless and his brain froze.
Mingyan, who bowed her head in front of Li Qing, didn't hear Li Qing's voice for a long while, but Li's strict system of superiority and inferiority made her dare not look up at Li Qing. Previously, Li Qing didn't know her identity, so she could do it herself. She has already shown her identity, and the huge difference between the two can't help but make her feel terrified. She knows clearly that even though she is a little famous, it can be said that Li Shi really wants to clean up herself. Effortless.What's more, I was born in the Li family and grew up in the Li family. I was created by the Li family. To the Li family, it is like a vine growing on a big tree. The end of Xiaoyu's death.

After waiting for a while, there was still no response. Mingyan finally couldn't help but raised his head. Li Qing's face in front of him was extremely strange. The way he looked at him could be said to be extremely weird. He tilted his head and raised a hand. Stay there like a wood carving and clay sculpture.

"Little Marquis?" He called softly tentatively, "What's the matter with you?"

Li Qing's body shook violently, he shook his head vigorously to wake himself up, looked at Mingyan who was still lying on the ground, tried hard to make himself accept this fact, and said in a very strange tone: "You, you get up first , tell me what's going on here?"
Mingyan got up and said: "Young Master, please sit down, Mingyan knows this is very abrupt, please let me speak slowly to you, Young Master!"

Li Qing was sitting by the desk, with his elbows resting on the desk, tapping on the surface rhythmically, and said coldly, "Don't call me a little marquis, I'm not a little marquis, should I be called a general?"

Mingyan smiled slightly. Although the life experience of this young marquis is a taboo in the Li family, it is not news to them. Seeing that Li Qing disliked this title, he smiled and said: "I am Li People in the family, calling you a general seems alien, since you don’t like the title of Young Marquis, I’ll call you Young Master!” While talking with a smile, he picked up the teapot on the desk and poured a cup of fragrant tea for Li Qing.
Li Qing looked sideways at Mingyan. Although she was facing the sky at this time, she had stayed in the court of romance for too long after all. Every word, deed, smile and frown naturally brought a charming aura. When it comes to calling you son When saying a word, his body turned slightly to Li Qing's side, his voice turned slightly, and his face was sad, making it hard to refuse.
Li Qing has adjusted his mentality and woke up from the shock just now, looking at Ming Yan's face, he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter what you like, but you have to understand that at this time you can Isn't it the previous Mingyan?" Mingyan's body trembled slightly, and she, who was as smart as ice and snow, immediately understood Li Qing's meaning, and immediately restrained her unconscious coquettish attitude.
"Sit here and explain it to me!" Li Qing patted the side of the table and said.

"Yes, sir!" Ming Yan sat down in a regular manner, cleared his throat, and said, "I am the head of the branch of Li's Shadow in Dingzhou, and I specialize in inquiring and transmitting information."

In Mingyan's slow and clear explanation, Li Qing finally understood the truth of the matter. Li's shadow is a spy agency all over the country. Of course, there will be other aristocratic families who believe in it, but are there any? Li's scale and rigor are unknown.This shadow has a huge scale, and it specializes in collecting all kinds of information for Li Shi, and reports it to Yizhou and the capital. Dingzhou is just a small branch. After all, Li Shi didn't have the slightest foundation in Dingzhou before. , The people in the shadows have various identities, and have penetrated into every aspect of Dachu. It can be said that Li can know what happened in any corner of Dachu in a very short period of time.
"You should have known my identity a long time ago, why did you tell me now?" Li Qing asked.
Mingyan said: "I only received a notification after Shouning Hou came to Dingzhou last time, asking me to pay attention to the young master's actions, but even if I knew the identity of the young master, Mingyan would not dare to show up in front of the young master without orders from the Shadow Headquarters." identity leaked."

Li Qing rolled his eyes, "So, you have been authorized to let me know your identity?"
Mingyan said: "I just received an order a few days ago. The Dingzhou Shadow Branch has been completely placed under the command of the Young Master. From now on, I will no longer accept orders from the Shadow Headquarters. I am having a headache as to how to connect with the Young Master. Come to Tao Ranju." Ming Yan smiled sweetly, "This saves Ming Yan a lot of trouble."
"Give it to me?" Li Qing frowned.

"Yes, that is to say, the Shadow Dingzhou branch belongs to the son from now on, and has no connection with the headquarters. The headquarters will also cut off all the dark lines with my branch."

Li Qing had to think about what Luoyang Li's move meant.A special department like Shadow would definitely be of great help to him, but he had to think clearly about the serious relationship between them.Shadow belongs to Li's family, and of course the Dingzhou branch also belongs to Li's family. From Mingyan's attitude, it can be seen that she is quite loyal to Li's family. Is this good or bad for me?What does Li Shi mean by completely assigning Dingzhou Shadow to himself?
