Hu Ji nimbly took the jade tablet that Li threw to her. After seeing the two characters "Fusu" on it, the corner of her mouth hooked up, and then carefully put it into her bosom.
"This is our token of love."
"What token of love." Li's footsteps paused, and looked back at her.
Hu Ji pouted her lips in grievance.
"I read it in a book. It's a token of love. Don't all the lovers in the Central Plains do this?"
"You ah —."
For Hu Ji's occasional naivety, Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had to take her to the pavilion in the courtyard to sit down, and explained to her so that she could forgive him.
Because Duanmu Rong was outside the palace, but the information still needed to be exchanged. Therefore, Li thought of a way, which was under the guise of passing on the meaning of lovesickness, and let Zhong Limei's soldiers be messengers.
Although this move sounded dangerous, it was a strange insurance.
This was because Zhongli Mei's guards were responsible for protecting the Great Qin Capital. As such, all of the patrols within the Great Qin Capital, including those within the palace, were part of his people. Although there weren't many of them, they were enough to form a line.
And many of these people had participated in the expedition, and had seen the unusual relationship between him and Duanmu Rong. As long as Zhong Limei gave a little guidance, he believed that they would be happy to help.
The most important thing was that these soldiers were unexpectedly honest and lovely. They knew that this kind of private meeting was not good for others to know. Therefore, even if Chu Ruo deliberately sent people to sound them out, their mouths were still very tight.
Moreover, this kind of information exchange had already been told to Duanmu Rong. It would only be used for urgent matters. Otherwise, according to the frequency of Li visiting her three or four days, this line would not be used.
However, it was better to be safe than sorry. This line could be regarded as a secret line left by Li to Duanmu Rong.
Moreover, regarding the transmission of information, Li also privately discussed with Duanmu Rong, all in code. In this way, even if it was taken out by a gossipy guy, he would simply think that it was a love poem.
As it turned out, this unconventional method was surprisingly safe. After more than a month, the experiment was almost done, and the letters from the Duanmu Rong gradually decreased.
It was not because of anything else. It was just that the Mirage had entered the construction stage. Duanmu Rong, as the supervisor of the construction of an important place, naturally began to get busy.
Originally, she could have handed this matter over to Yun Zhongjun. She only needed to take a few glances at it. Moreover, she believed that if she did so, Yun Zhongjun would be very happy.
However, thinking about the Cymbidium Angustifolium in her heart, Duanmu Rong still thought that it was better to have everything in her hands.
Of course, Duanmu Rong would not admit that part of the reason was that since the construction of the Mirage began, the Yin-yang School had been constantly playing tricks. At first, they just drugged her, but how could it escape her eyes?
Later, they failed to drug her several times. In addition, after Duanmu Rong told Li, a group of maids were changed under Li's instructions, so it became more and more difficult to drug her.
Therefore, the Yin-yang School began to attack her. Although Sheng Qi said that those people did not want to kill her but just hurt her.
But it still made her angry.
After all, she was not born to be a saint. There was no reason for her to suffer in silence when others bullied her to this extent. However, she did not want to tell Li these things and make him worry about her.
Since the Yin-yang School hoped that something would happen to her, they could not intervene in the construction of the Mirage. Therefore, she must intervene. Not only that, but she also had to make her task of supervision very important and involve herself in everything.
It turned out that her decision was right.
After seeing her intervene in this way, the Yin-yang School's attack first became more aggressive for a while. Finally, they found that they did not want to kill her and could not deal with Sheng Qi, who was like Black Evil Spirit, so the Yin-yang School could only retreat.
Therefore, during this time, Duanmu Rong passed a lot of news about the Mirage to Li's ears.
It was worth mentioning that after Li made trouble in the Drug-refining Pavilion of Yun Zhongjun in the Yin-yang School, Yun Zhongjun was going to build the same one in the Drug-refining Pavilion of the Mirage. However, the mechanisms and secret passages were completely different and even better.
However, all this was seen by Duanmu Rong. Even if he tried to hide it, Gongshu Qiu immediately told Li.
Therefore, the mechanisms on the Mirage were now like a piece of white paper in Li's eyes.
"Young Master, are you there?"
Li looked at the latest news from Duanmu Rong and was thinking. Then, the voice of the Cymbidium Angustifolium came from outside the door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and the Cymbidium Angustifolium came in in a trance.
"What's the matter?"
Li watched her slowly walk to the opposite side and sit down. He poured a cup of tea, but it almost overflowed.
"Are you still worried about your brother?"
The Cymbidium Angustifolium frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
Li sighed softly and held her right hand on the table.
"Don't worry. Now everything is going according to plan. Once the Mirage is built, the main body of the Yin-yang School will move to the Mirage. With your brother's identity, he will definitely be brought to the Mirage.
At that time, we will act according to the circumstances and must save your brother. "
The Cymbidium Angustifolium glanced at Li with her dark almond-shaped eyes, but her tone was a little low.
"I'm a little worried."
"What's wrong?
What are you worried about? "
"Originally, this was just a grudge between our Shu Mountain lineage. At that time, I was forced to ask for your help. Originally, I wanted to use you, but now, how can I ignore your safety and take advantage of you?
What's more, now more innocent people are involved, Rongrong, and even Hu Ji.
Once something happens, my conscience will be uneasy. "
The Cymbidium Angustifolium bit her lower lip tightly. Her originally pink lips were almost dripping blood.
Li's heart tightened.
"What are you talking about? We are all on the same front, and we are bound together for good or ill. You are not the only one who is at risk.
Speaking of risks, I'm the most at risk, aren't I?
If Rongrong knows about this, she will definitely say that you are treating me as an outsider. "
