Chapter 170 The Battle of Words
Hearing what Li Chongjiu said, Jian Xue immediately asked in surprise: "How could it be? The day after tomorrow is the inauguration ceremony of Jinyang Palace, and all the officials will come to the mansion to congratulate the master. There is no reason why the master has no time?"

Looking at Jian Xue's expression of not knowing, and Li Chongjiu didn't know how long he was going to explain, but at this moment, he saw another maid had turned around to look for Jian Xue.At that moment, Li Chongjiu knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he said directly: "Just tell your lady that I, Li Chongjiu, came to Jinyang, and please see her no matter what." At that moment, Li Chongjiu told Jian Xue his address, so that Jian Xue repeated it before letting her go back.Seeing Jianxue and the maid reunited and left from the temple fair, Li Chongjiu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately set off to return to the alley where the escort agency was located.

Li Chongjiu entered the square gate, and when he was approaching the alley where the bodyguard bureau was located, his eyes suddenly flickered, and he didn't go straight to the place where he was staying, but deliberately used the door to pass by.Turning out of several narrow alleys in the workshop, he suddenly hid in a corner.Soon there was the sound of light footsteps at the entrance of the alley.

Li Chongjiu put his hand on the handle of the knife, and just as he was waiting for someone to come, Li Chongjiu had already slashed his knife across the other person's neck, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The other party was only in his 20s, and when he saw Li Chongjiu slashing the knife, he trembled and said, "My lord, my lord, take as much money as you want, and don't hurt my little life."

Li Chongjiu raised the saber, immediately tightened the opponent's neck, and said coldly: "Not telling the truth!"

The other party's eyes flashed, and he still said: "My lord, spare your life, spare your life, I really don't know anything!"

"Brother Shimin is a good trainer." Li Chongjiu chuckled lightly, let go of the people, and said in a deep voice, "I saw you in Brother Shimin's tent when I was hunting for Turks in Yanmen County."

There was a look of surprise in the eyes of the other party, and the timid look just now disappeared, and a bit of shrewdness appeared on his face, and he clasped his fists and said: "Junhou, I really have a good memory. In Yanmen, I just took photos with Junhou in a hurry. After one or two meetings, unexpectedly Junhou actually wrote down the little one."

Just as the other party finished speaking, suddenly five or six people came forward from the left and right of the alley, obviously they were the accomplices of that person.Li Chongjiu immediately pressed the knife again, with a look of guard on his face.Seeing that the conflict between the two sides was about to start, the other party said immediately: "Your Majesty, I am not offending you. The Lord sent dozens of personal guards to search for Luo Junhou's whereabouts near this workshop. Right now, the Lord is waiting at the Xingzi Restaurant not far away. I don’t know if you can go there for the news.”

Li Chongjiu nodded when he saw that his treasury had been broken and he couldn't take care of Li Shimin's elite subordinates in a short time.

On Xingzi Restaurant, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were sitting on the second floor by the window, eating three side dishes.Just as Li Jiancheng was about to raise the cup in his hand, he saw a man in coarse sackcloth in front of him, his clothes bulging and looking at him.

Li Jiancheng was surprised that this apricot restaurant was one of the best restaurants in Jinyang, and when it was the turn of pawns and traffickers, they could also be on the stage.But at this time, the second younger brother stood up and said with a smile: "The store moved a wooden stool, added a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and served some good dishes."

Li Jiancheng wondered when his second brother met such a person.But seeing that the other party was not polite, he let go of the person at hand, put the handle of the knife on the table between the two of them and smashed it heavily, the big horse sat down with a golden knife and smiled: "Li Erlang, you are really very elegant."

"Second brother, who is this person?" Li Jiancheng asked unhappily.

"Brother, this person is the champion!" Li Shimin whispered in Li Jiancheng's ear.

Li Jiancheng was slightly surprised at the moment, looked at the other party again, and smiled.Li Jiancheng raised his wine glass and said: "It's better to see you than to hear about it for a long time. I have been listening to my father. My second brother mentioned you in front of me. Today, I am lucky to meet you. I am the eldest son of the Li family. I respect you first."

Li Chongjiu had seen that this person had an extraordinary bearing early on. He was dressed in brocade clothes, and he had the elegance of a son of an aristocratic family, but also a bit of the stability of a son-in-law.Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, and the three brothers and sisters of the Li family I have seen are all human beings.
dragon and phoenix.However, Li Chongjiu was the best at observing words and expressions. Even though Li Jiancheng was full of manners, when he heard his name, there was a contemptuous sneer at the corner of his mouth, which was obviously a duplicity.

Li Chongjiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "You don't have to be so polite, rough people in the mountains and fields don't understand etiquette, so it's strange."

Hearing Li Chongjiu's words, Li Jiancheng twitched, and then sat down again with a smile instead of anger, with a personable demeanor, drinking and picking up vegetables as if nothing had happened.Seeing this, Li Chongjiu secretly said, this young master of the Li family seems to be a deep-rooted generation in the city.

Seeing Li Chongjiu's momentum, the people on the side didn't dare to step forward, but Li Shimin signaled the other party and his subordinates who came with Li Chongjiu to retreat temporarily.At that moment, Li Jiancheng said as if nothing had happened: "Brother Li, come to Taiyuan County and don't say hello in advance, so we can show our friendship as landlords at the residence."

Li Chongjiu knew from the bottom of his heart that this Li Jiancheng was narrow-minded, so he said that he did not obey the official documents, left his post and came to Jinyang privately, which is a felony.Li Chongjiu said: "After dealing with the matter in Jinyang, I will go back naturally. The Li family has a great career, and the family has a nine-fold family. I don't dare to chatter, for fear that I won't know the way."

Li Jiancheng smiled slightly, took a piece of food with chopsticks, and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say. I don't know what the important thing is, but it has something to do with our Li family?"

With his elder brother around, Li Shimin was inconvenient to speak at this time, so as not to overstep, poured wine for Li Chongjiu himself, and kept winking at Li Chongjiu, signaling that the other party did not need to conflict with his elder brother.Li Chongjiu smiled slightly, and couldn't deny Li Jiancheng's question at the moment.

Seeing that Li Chongjiu didn't answer, Li Jiancheng regarded him as arrogant. He turned his head to Li Shimin and said, "Second brother, in two days, the Chai family will come to my Li family to hire you. You have seen Chai Sichang." , shrewd and capable, the eminent Duke of the county will also become a noble in the future. As brothers, we are really happy that the third sister can have such a good home."

Li Chongjiu's eyes flickered after hearing this, and then he looked at Li Jiancheng with flickering eyes.Facing Li Chongjiu's direct gaze, Li Jiancheng accepted it openly.

But Li Chongjiu laughed and said: "The Chai family in Jiangjun is from a famous family. I have indeed heard of it. But after a famous family, it is inevitable that there will be dudes who are lazy all day long, ignorant and incompetent. , playing with women, going in and out of the place where the famous flowers under the moon and other fireworks leave, right?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Jiancheng's face turned livid.Li Chongjiu said with a smile at the moment: "Mr. Dalang, why do you look so ugly? Don't get me wrong. Chai Sichang is clear to me. He is definitely not a playboy. I just mean someone else."
