Li Sicong looked at Magistrate Li's anxious look, thought of something, and laughed. His father probably won't be able to sleep well tonight!

The second most luxurious Tingfeng Courtyard in the Li Mansion is next to the most luxurious guest courtyard, Yulan Courtyard. At this moment, Magistrate Li was pacing back and forth nervously in the corridor between the two courtyards.

It would not be a good idea to invite our savior to stay in the inn now, and the distinguished guest from the capital cannot be moved!

"The people from these two courtyards have never met each other, right?" Magistrate Li grabbed the maid who came out of Jiang Lili's courtyard.

"Not yet. The distinguished guest from Magnolia Courtyard has gone to bed." the maid replied.

Magistrate Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Oh! What sin had he committed in his previous life to deserve such misfortune?

Magistrate Li wanted to weld the gates of the two courtyards shut.

He ordered the housekeeper, "Find someone to watch over here. Don't let these two bastards in the yard run into them. Otherwise, I, no, our entire Li Mansion will be finished!"

The butler quickly responded with a serious look.

After repeated emphasis, Magistrate Li returned to his room and slept soundly.

Little did they know that the evil women in the two courtyards had already been secretly "colluding" with each other.

Hou Xiaoxiao was sitting in the courtyard eating persimmons and enjoying the cool air when suddenly a little head popped out from the opposite wall.

Hou Xiaoxiao was so shocked that she forgot to eat the persimmon in her hand, "Damn! Little pear!"

It turns out that Li Sicong told her that the surprise for tonight was Jiang Lili!

She had been looking forward to this day since she set out from the capital, but it was difficult for her to go look for Jiang Lili because of the maids and guards sent by the empress dowager.

Jiang Lili, who was climbing over the wall, was also very surprised to see Hou Xiaoxiao. Just now, Li Sicong sent her a message, asking her to climb over the wall, saying that there was a surprise waiting for her next door.

I never expected that my best friend who shared the lower bunk bed with me in high school actually lived next door to me!

Jiang Lili rode on the wall. The wall didn't look high when she climbed up, but it was quite scary when she came down.

"Hey, Sister Xiaoxiao, hurry up and pick me up!"

Hou Xiaoxiao quickly ran over and picked Jiang Lili up with skillful movements.

When they were in high school, they were boarding students and were not allowed to leave the school. Sometimes when they were hungry or wanted to pick out magazines or comics, they had to cooperate with each other to climb over the wall at the back door of the school.

Jiang Lili was also surprised to see Hou Xiaoxiao.

Hou Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Jiang Lili into the house.

Jiang Lili walked into the room and looked around: "Are your maids and guards asleep?"

Hou Xiaoxiao nodded: "I slept. In order to let us meet, Li Xiaoguan added some ingredients to the fire-clearing lotus seed soup that he sent them."

These words made them look like a pair of wild mandarin ducks having a secret meeting.

"Little Pear, you've lost weight."

Hou Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Lili's pointed chin. She remembered that Jiang Lili still had baby fat on her face in high school, and with two sweet dimples, she looked so sweet to her heart.

"But it's still much better than the zombie selfie you just posted to the group."

The expression on Jiang Lili's face immediately cracked: If we don't mention that selfie, we are still good friends.

Hou Xiaoxiao rummaged through the wooden box she brought: "Come, come, look at the good stuff I brought you from Beijing."

"I will give you half of the secret golden healing medicine and detoxification pills given by the Queen Mother."

"This is used by the royal family, and its effect is much better than what can be bought on the market today. It is very precious, and the Imperial Hospital only produces less than ten bottles a year."

"This is the hidden blade that the Queen Mother gave me to save my life. It contains a secret and was made by a royal craftsman."

……

Hou Xiaoxiao picked out all the things that are not available nowadays and showed them to Jiang Lili one by one. Jiang Lili was so moved that she almost cried.

"Would you like to save some for yourself, too? Aren't you going up the mountain, too?"

"Don't worry, someone from the Miao tribe will pick me up when I go up the mountain."

Hou Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, this can be considered a public-funded visit to my relatives! The Queen Mother paid for me to meet you."

"The original owner of this body of mine had a deep feud with you. They all thought I hated you to the core."

Jiang Lili listened to the benefits that the Queen Mother had given Hou Xiaoxiao, "Hahahahaha, who could have imagined it!"

"I arrived in Linzhou City yesterday, and I will leave the Li Mansion for the Miaojiang tribe tomorrow morning. I wanted to wait until I got to the Miaojiang tribe to find out the situation and then report the specific information to you. I didn't expect that we would meet here now. Li Sicong's arrangement is really clever!"

Hou Xiaoxiao and Jiang Lili talked about what happened when she entered the palace that day: "Empress Dowager Yu promised me many benefits and asked me to persuade my hometown tribe to kill the Zhaoping Marquis family in the Qinglin Mountains."

"There are conflicts of interest between our two families, so in their view, I will definitely carry out this order well and force you to death."

Hou Xiaoxiao's maternal family is one of the big families in the Miao tribe. Hou Xiaoxiao's grandfather was able to win a small victory on the battlefield in the northern border by relying on the Miao people he brought with him to cast a poison on the barbarians entrenched in the northern border.

However, the Miao people and the poisonous insects they carried were not as effective as those in the northern climate. Therefore, due to the constraints, the method of poisoning was not popular and could only be used as a backup to achieve a surprise victory at a critical moment.

As a family of generals, the Zhaoping Marquis Mansion has elites in various aspects such as tactics, force, equipment, etc., which are far ahead of other military generals.

"I have to carry out the orders of the Queen Mother and Emperor Qingning, so you must be prepared when you arrive at the Qinglin Mountains. But don't worry, I will try my best to pass on the news to you."

She could only try her best to prevent her family members from opposing Jiang Lili, but the instructions from Emperor Qingning and the Queen Mother were to be conveyed to the leaders of the Miao tribe.

Jiang Lili kept everything Hou Xiaoxiao said in mind.

"Hide if you can. I will reveal their route to you. Since you are outnumbered, it is best not to engage in direct conflict."

Hou Xiaoxiao warned: "The Miao people can poison people through water sources and food, so we can't drink the water sources in the mountains. We should pay attention to whether the wild animals are abnormal compared to usual."

After a while, Li Sicong also climbed over the wall.

Hou Xiaoxiao and Jiang Lili are discussing the shopping list for going into the mountains, which will be sent to Xiaopang the next morning to deal with the possible dangers that may be encountered during this trip into the mountains.

Li Xiaoguan pondered: "I have to buy mosquito coils, right?"

Jiang Lili clapped her hands and said, "There's also an electric mosquito swatter! Ask Xiaopang to charge it and send it over."

She suddenly thought: "Are those poisonous insects afraid of fire?"

Hou Xiaoxiao recalled the information her grandparents had told her about the Miaojiang tribe: "Some poisonous insects are afraid of fire, while others are not. I'll go to the tribe and take some photos for you to see for yourself, and I'll give you a guide to poisonous insects and plants!"

"Sure, sure!" Jiang Lili exclaimed, "It's so cool to have a double agent like Hou Xiaoxiao on the enemy side!"

Three heads are better than one. As the night deepened, the three of them finalized the shopping list for Xiaopang.

When Hou Xiaoxiao saw the items on the list, she suddenly felt that the ones who should be afraid were not Jiang Lili and her group, but the Miao tribe who had never seen their modern technology and ruthless life.

"I have to tell my family members not to mess with you, or else there will be consequences!"

Li Sicong also said to Jiang Lili: "I will arrange the four bodyguards to protect you tomorrow. The bodyguards are all reliable people decided by Sister Guan Yue and I. You can rest assured."

It feels so wonderful to be led by two big guys. Jiang Lili feels very safe!

"By the way, I want to share a piece of gossip with you!"

After the three of them finished discussing their business, they chatted while eating melon seeds.

Jiang Lili and Li Sicong pricked up their ears when they heard Hou Xiaoxiao's words. They were already sleepy, but they were no longer sleepy when it came to gossip!
