"Please invite Li Ji, my master is inside!" In the inner house of Pei Mansion, a beautiful maid led Li Xiu to the outside of a garden gate and saluted very respectfully.

"Thank you!" Li Xiu smiled gently, and the maid turned red, and then left shyly, which made Li Xiu touch his face smugly. Sometimes he couldn't blame him for being too handsome.

Now Li Xiu stepped into the garden. Today, the sun was shining, and the flowers and plants in the garden began to sprout, looking full of spring. He walked a few steps along the path of the garden and soon saw a pavilion on the pond in front. Pei Ji was sitting in the pavilion in casual clothes, holding a fishing rod in his hand, looking very leisurely fishing.

Li Xiu stepped into the pavilion and came to Pei Ji's side, and said with a smile: "Pei Xiang is really leisurely. I used to like fishing, but I couldn't take time to go fishing by the river for a long time."

"Haha, I'm not convenient to go out to greet you now, otherwise it will only harm you, so please don't blame Li Ji!" Pei Ji heard Li Xiu's words, and looked up at Li Xiu, then pointed to the cushion beside him and signaled him to sit down. Li Xiu was not polite, and sat cross-legged on the cushion.

"Pei Xiangyan is serious. I am not a person in the court, so naturally I don't have to worry too much. What's more, I was ordered by the King of Qin to see you this time!" Li Xiu also said with a smile. Pei Ji is a hard-core princeling and is also a thorn in Li Shimin's eyes. Anyone who gets close to him will be unlucky, so he said it is inconvenient to go out to greet him, so that people will not be able to see him and implicate Li Xiu.

"I understand. I heard before that Li Jijiu and the princess saved the family of the King of Qi and the Prince, which led to the King of Qin sending troops to siege you. Later, for some reason, the King of Qin retreated, and the King of Qi and others left safely. It must be that Li Jijiu had reached some agreement with the King of Qin, such as surrendering to the King of Qin in exchange for the lives of King of Qi and others?" Pei Ji immediately reacted when he heard Li Xiu's words. Although he was kept in the door, he was very well-versed in the outside world, but he made a little mistake in the end.

"Pei Xiang knows a lot. The family of King Qi and the prince were indeed sent away by me and the princess, and they were personally escorted by the Detachment of Women. Now I should have arrived at a safe place. As for the conditions of King Qin, such as helping him repel the Turkic attack. However, when I came to see Prince Pei today, I was not under the conditions at that time, and I did not surrender to the King of Qin!" Li Xiu explained with a smile.

It's strange that although he and Pei Ji had only met him a few times, they were talking like an old friend at this time, without worrying about having anything to say.

"So that's it. Why did Li Jiji come to find me today?" Pei Ji was silent for a moment after hearing Li Xiu's words, and finally asked again.

Li Xiu reached out and took out the letter Li Yuan had written before again, and handed it to Pei Ji with both hands and said, "Pei Xiang, please take a look. This is a letter written by His Majesty himself!"

When Pei Ji finally brought Li Xiu's letter to Li Yuan, he finally couldn't sit still. He threw down the fishing rod in his hand and grabbed the letter, then opened it immediately and read it carefully. After reading the letter, he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that even Your Majesty has given up, and the King of Qin is finally going to sit firmly!"

"Yesterday, I accompanied the princess to the palace to meet His Majesty. This letter was also given to me by His Majesty before I left. In addition, the King of Qin is coming back soon. When he comes back, no one will be able to make any troubles, so please follow the overall situation!" Li Xiu couldn't help but persuade him when he saw the lonely expression on Pei Ji's face.

Hearing Li Xiu's words, Pei Ji sighed and closed his eyes, and the expression on his face became even more lonely. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Li Xiu and said, "Li Jijiu, you once advised you not to put all the bets on the prince, nor to be too irritated with the King of Qin. Did you have expected the current situation at that time?"

"Haha, I'm not a god, how could I predict it in advance?" Li Xiu smiled and denied it. He would never admit such a thing. As for how Pei Ji suspected that it was his business.

Pei Ji kept staring at the expression on Li Xiu's face, but unfortunately he couldn't find anything abnormal after looking at it. Finally, he had to shake his head helplessly and said, "But no matter what, I would like to thank Li Jijiu for his kindness at the time. Unfortunately, I was too close to the prince at that time and could not turn back at all. In desperation, I could only help the prince suppress the Qin King. Now it seems that it has caused endless disasters to my Pei family!"

"Pei Xiang doesn't have to worry too much. After all, the King of Qin has been in a bad position, and he will only focus on stability after he comes back. Tomorrow, Pei Xiang will take the lead in handling government affairs and cooperate with him well. It is estimated that nothing will happen within a few years. Even if the King of Qin holds the throne in the future, he will be just Pei Xiang's official position. With His Majesty here, I believe the King of Qin will not dare to do too much to Pei Xiang!" Li Xiu spoke at this time. Even if a minister like Pei Ji is so arrogant, he will still be worried about living now. This also made Li Xiu more determined not to enter the court.

"Maybe, I'm too greedy to say that. I'm already above ten thousand people. Unfortunately, I still want to continue this glory and get a title of three officials in the future, but I didn't expect it to cause a disaster to myself. It seems that people can't be too greedy!" Pei Ji sighed again.

Hearing Pei Ji's words, Li Xiu nodded in secretly, thinking that it was the case when he was in his previous life. He climbed up all the time, even if he had a generous salary, he was still not satisfied. In the end, not only was the family ruined, but his body also exhausted. The ancients had long warned future generations to "be contented and happy", but unfortunately, these four words are easy to say, but it is too difficult to do.

"Haha~, Li Jijiu rarely comes to me here. Today I won't say these disgusting words. Come and prepare a banquet. How about Li Jijiu come to taste the dishes in my house?" But at this moment, Pei Ji suddenly laughed, as if he had vented all his worries with laughter, and then he asked someone to prepare a banquet.
