Chapter 29 Lying skills without changing face

Ji Li moved his hands early, and the fat job of supervising the construction of Wan Guotai fell firmly on the head of the Su family. In order to finish the project early, the Su family made people work day and night. Sure enough, some people gradually disappeared for no reason. Several times The strikes all ended without a problem under the strong suppression of the Su family.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Xia Chan's chirping is annoying. No matter how fast a fan is fanned in the scorching hot weather, it can't dry the sweat from the body one after another.

Under the shade of the dense trees, Ji Li took a sip of the lotus dew that Lian Qingcheng handed him, and he was willing to make a move after holding on for a long time. "The Su family lived up to everyone's expectations, and they really recommended Su Lingxiao in the court."

Lian Qingcheng picked up the chess piece and said, "Su Lingxiao's methods are very hot. On the one hand, he promised the workers to increase their wages, and on the other hand, he increased the intensity of work. Many workers have disappeared for no reason."

"En." Ji Li responded lightly, and after thinking about it for a while without taking his eyes off the chessboard, he finally threw the remaining chess pieces on the board, "I lost again..."

"My lord accepted it." Lian Qingcheng said with a smile, "I also troubled my lord to spend, and continue to send the wages of those missing workers to each family for a period of time."

Ji Li got up and poured a glass of wine from the jug beside Lian Qingcheng, shaking the wine glass and not rushing to drink it, "This king's money is all my wife's, spend it like you do... my daughter-in-law It's almost gone."

"The prince is rich and powerful, isn't it a bit too shabby to use this little money as a wife?"

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?" Ji Li squinted his eyes and smiled happily, with a hint of rogue, "As soon as Miss Lian opens her mouth, I'll get someone to prepare it immediately." As he said, he poured the wine that had been simmering for a long time into his mouth.

Sour plum wine... Did I bring Lian Qingcheng down?
Lian Qingcheng gave Ji Li a blank look, "My lord has time to joke around, why don't you practice chess more?"

After drinking the plum wine, the aroma of the wine still remained in his mouth, Ji Li put the wine glass on the chessboard seriously, "Listen to you."

Ting Feng chuckled at the side, in fact, what Lian Qingcheng didn't know was that when Ji Li's mother was still alive, she had worshiped under the family of the national champion at that time, and Ji Li was influenced by her ears and eyes, so naturally she played a good game of chess.

In order to lose to Lian Qingcheng without anyone noticing, Ji Li has spent a lot of effort.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner until people from all over the world entered Beijing.

After Xuan Yuheng settled down, the first thing he did was to arrive at the Lian Mansion, and when he heard that Lian Qingcheng was picked up by Ji Li, he rushed to the Qiantui Mansion in a hurry.

"Presumptuous!" Xuan Yuheng shouted at the guards, "I am Prince Beichen, how dare you stop me!"

The guard lowered his head and did not answer, nor did he let Xuan Yuheng take half a step inside until the person who notified him came out.

"Prince, don't be surprised. Lord Qiantui has some important matters, and he ordered that no one should disturb him. Please."

Xuan Yuheng yelled "Am I someone else?! Am I someone else?!" while walking, until he saw Ji Li, he felt his lungs were about to explode.

"This is the important thing you said?!"

I saw Ji Li teaching Lian Qingcheng to draw a bow, "I put my hand wrong, that's how it is."

Lian Qingcheng's whole body was in Jili's arms, and the latter did not answer Xuan Yuheng's words.

"This bow is specially made, so it won't take much effort to draw it."

"Completely ignore my existence?" Xuan Yuheng jumped anxiously, "If it wasn't that I couldn't beat you, I would have beaten you to death long ago!"

Only then did Lian Qingcheng notice that it was Xuan Yuheng who came, put down her bow and stood side by side with Ji Li, she sighed to herself, "Even singing, there will be an end, Your Highness Yuheng, don't you think so?"

It turned out that he was annoyed by his play, Xuan Yuheng smiled, and his peach blossom eyes became more and more beautiful, "I went to Lianfu to look for you, but I found out that you were picked up by this big ice cube, so I was really worried. Be good, come here and let me see you." I will check to see if there is any injury and if there is any weight loss."

Standing together with Ji Li is really a perfect match... Xuan Yuheng suddenly had this thought, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"If you have something to say, don't bother me if you have nothing to do." Ji Li stood in front of Lian Qingcheng, barely blocking Xuan Yuheng from looking at the little man's face.

Ji Li also felt weird, especially when he saw those peach blossom eyes staring at Lian Qingcheng, he really wanted to put those eyes away.

Xuan Yuheng raised his eyebrows, without the cynicism in front of others, he looked at Lian Qingcheng with those peach eyes.

"Qingcheng is not an outsider, but it doesn't matter."

"I just want to ask you, why did you increase the customs duties for Beichen by [-]%?"

"Oh?" Ji Li bent the corners of his lips, "Is there such a thing?"

"Don't you know?" Xuan Yuheng asked.

For Ji Li's words, he didn't even believe a single punctuation mark.

"If that's the case... this king should check it out carefully." Ji Li's face was serious, and even his eyes showed a trace of fear, "Someone dares to do something under this king's nose, maybe it's because they think they live too long gone."

Xuan Yuheng was confused, did Jili really not know?How is it possible, Ji Li holds the largest intelligence organization in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the trade between the two countries is of great importance, and Ji Li cannot be negligent in this matter.

"You really don't know?"

"I really don't know. I will give you a satisfactory answer when I find out, okay?"

Xuan Yuheng put away the jade bone fan, and pretended to pay respects, "I first thank Prince Ji on behalf of the people of Beichen."

A few years ago, above the Beichen Great Hall, Ji Li held Tianlong Breaking the City Jian and single-handedly defeated Beichen's ten famous generals in order to act as a deterrent.

He used his own actions to tell Beichen's royal family that as long as he was there, even if Beichen's military strength was comparable to that of Dongzhou, it was still impossible for Beichen to be an opponent of Dongzhou.

He also seemed to intend to create opportunities for Beichen to assassinate him, but all those who received the mission ended in failure.

From then on, Ji Li's reputation spread throughout Beichen, no matter how high the reward was, no one would accept the task of assassinating Ji Li again.

"You're welcome, it's all my duty." Ji Li nodded slightly as a return.

Xuan Yuheng walked over, bypassed Jili, and came to Lian Qingcheng, knocked the bone fan on his palm, "Miss Qingcheng, if I remember correctly, you said that you have nothing to do with Lord Ji, how long has it been?" No, you have already moved to his residence, and I have always kept in mind the sentence that a man and a woman should not get close at that time."

Ji Li glanced at him, and hid Lian Qingcheng behind her like a hen guarding its chicks, causing Lian Qingcheng to be embarrassed for a while.

I am so unbearable, do I need him to protect me so far?
"I thank you for your concern on Qingcheng's behalf."

Seeing Ji Li's actions, Xuan Yuheng laughed inexplicably, and said with a slightly strange expression, "It seems that the prince really has a sweetheart, just like the outsiders say."

"Don't worry about it." Two different voices said in unison.

Xuan Yuheng's expression was a little ugly, "Since that's the case, then I won't bother you. By the way, I know where to stay, so I don't need to bother the prince. If the prince is worried, he will send someone to follow him when he grows up."

Xuan Yuheng left, and Zhuifeng walked over, and asked if he wanted to send someone to watch,

Ji Li smiled lightly and said, "No need."

Maybe others don't know Xuan Yuheng, they only think that he is a cynical playboy, but Ji Li knows that this playboy is very familiar with the capital, unless Zhuifeng follows him personally, otherwise it will be futile.

Lian Qingcheng was a little curious about the conversation between Cai Jili and Xuan Yuheng, and asked, "You really don't know about raising the tariff on Beichen by [-]%?"

Lian Qingcheng has seen Qianji Pavilion very well. As long as Qianji Pavilion wants to investigate, even a minister's concubine can find out where a mole grows on her body. How can she make mistakes in matters such as customs duties? .

Ji Li smiled, "I know."

Lian Qingcheng was ashamed, she was overwhelmed by Ji Li's unchanging lying skills, "Then why did you say that to him?"

Ji Li sat lazily on the recliner, picked up Lian Qingcheng and drank the cold tea that he had brewed before, and said quietly, "This king is doing it for his own good."
