After packing his bags and awakening Ali, who was digesting his yesterday's gains, and taking Li Gousheng to worship his mother, Qi Lu and others set off from Haiyuan Town and returned to the capital.

Ali, who was eager to return home, only took one day to arrive at the capital. Everyone parted at the city gate. Long Aotian took Ali to the prince's mansion to meet its dream lover, while Qi Lu led Gou Sheng to the house.

Li Gousheng looked at the bustling street scene around curiously and timidly, and his big eyes were almost useless.

Qi Lu, who had made such a great reputation in the capital, had a head full of white hair that was quite eye-catching. Along the way, many people greeted him cordially.

"Mr. Qi, I just came back from outside? Oh! Where did this big-headed kid come from?"

"Qi Daqi, those scholars have often gathered together recently. I wonder what bad water is being held in. You have to be careful not to ask for the other party's way."

"Mr. Qi, this New Year is coming, I wonder if there are any popular poems coming out?"

...

In response, Qi Lu answered with a smile, and did not treat it differently because of the difference in identity. Even if he encountered a question that was difficult to answer, he cleverly changed the topic, making everyone feel that he was valued and not despised.

Li Gousheng looked up at Qi Lu in surprise, the person he was going to follow for the rest of his life. He really didn't expect that his son's reputation in the capital would be so great.

Could it be that big? This is all made in real terms.

Just ask how many people in the capital are not afraid of him, and you can know the deterrence of Qi Lu in the hearts of many people.

"Where did I bring this back?"

As soon as they returned home, the four women who knew about Qi Lu's outing were relieved. The young master would be fine. After letting go, all their eyes fell on Li Gousheng behind Qi Lu.

Zhang asked curiously, but there was no dissatisfaction. After all, the family was overcrowded and it didn't matter to multiple men. Besides, if you were just a child, you wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

"Oh, looking pitiful, I picked it up on the road."

Qi Lu did not explain much, and then introduced it to both parties one by one. Li Gousheng was indeed polite. After seeing the tribute one by one, his soft and honest personality soon won the joy of the girls.

"Build a bed in my room, and he will live with me in the future."

Qi Lu ordered the four girls, then seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh, by the way, let's wash him well."

“Yes, Master.”

With a smile, he looked at the girls who responded in unison, Qi Lu shook his head and laughed. He hadn't seen each other for several days, and he almost forgot that they had changed their names.

As for the girls, Li Gousheng is about the same age as their younger brother. Now when he sees him, he is as happy as when he sees his younger brother.

I don’t know if I have any chance to meet again with my family, but now it can be regarded as a sustenance.

After arranging the matter, four girls naturally went to do it. Qi Lu also ended up in a leisurely state. He was thinking of going to the prince's mansion to see if there were any unexpected situations in the past few days, but he heard a knock on the door outside the yard.

Ji Yue went to open the door in confusion. A man who looked like a servant bent down outside the door and said, "Dare you ask the little lady, is this Qi Lu, who is in Lord Qi's mansion?"

"Yes, are you?"

"The villain is the person from Shunyi Tower. On the first day of the lunar month, scholars and talents from the capital gathered together to hold a grand poetry event to pray for good weather in the coming year. This invitation was asked by the academy to come to Shunyi Tower and deliver it to Lord Qi."

Qi Lu walked up, took the exquisite invitation presented by the other party with both hands, and then smiled, "Thank you."

"You don't need to be polite, sir."

The servant had a look of admiration in his eyes and then bowed: "Since the invitation has been delivered to the master, the villain said goodbye, and I hope that the master will shock the four seats that day."

After saying that, he saluted again, he turned around and left.

Watching the other party leave, Qi Lu looked at the invitation in his hand. Yes, the red leather, the font is very beautiful, and it seems that he has worked hard.

But, so what?

Poetry event...

Just whine without any illness.

Qi Lu was not ready to participate, nor did he have time to lie with those people.

"I'll go to the prince's mansion, you can guard your home and practice well at home."

He ordered and handed the invitation to Di Yue at will: "Don't lose it."

“Master…”

Li Yue was still happy that Qi Lu was valued. Unexpectedly, his master took the invitation so casually. He was at a loss and said hesitantly: "It's not good... right?"

"What's wrong with it?" Qi Lu flicked her forehead, smiled and looked at the other person's head slightly tilted back, shook his head and walked out.

In the prince's mansion, Long Aotian was eating fruits and teasing the maid's cheeks, making his cheeks flushed. At the same time, he was still talking about what happened along the way to Ji Wuli, who was sitting aside with helpless face. His ability to use several uses made Qi Lu feel ashamed.

"You are a person who is thief-hearted but not brave, even Ali is inferior to you. At least they dare to take action, but you dare not say but not do it."

When Qi Lu entered the hall, he saw his self-thinking look, and couldn't help but speak out a few sarcastic words.

"What do you know?" Long Aotian looked at him with a squint, and snorted: "I'm called being a sensible."

Ji Wuli smiled and said, "I'm looking for something for you."

Qi Lu sat down, and a maid brought the tea, took a sip, and put down the teacup, "What's wrong?"

"It's not about the Demon Suppression Department. The notice has been posted. There are quite a few applicants, but there are only a few who are really capable."

Ji Wuli sighed a long time, shook his head helplessly and said, "It still needs to be cultivated slowly."

"Look for some children everywhere, take your time, build the framework first, and after the children are cultivated, the Demon Suppression Department will always get better."

Qi Lu has thought a lot in the past few days. Instead of attracting those who have formed a fixed mindset, it is better to find some children with a piece of paper to train them.

In this case, there is no need to spend more effort to investigate the people's feet. Recruiting those children to cultivate seems to have a long cycle and slow effect, but it is undoubtedly the safest thing to do.

Moreover, now that Ji Wuyi sent people from the army to settle in, and with the emperor's strong support, the early demand for personnel was not as urgent as possible.

"It's a way, but now the notice has been posted, so I still have to attract a few people to avoid quarrels."

Ji Wuyi nodded and then laughed and said, "Do you know that the past few days after you left, the academy has also begun to call on scholars to experience the sufferings of the people? I believe that in the future, I will subdue demons and eliminate demons and help the world in the name of scholars."

"This is a good thing."

Qi Lu was not angry about this. After all, if the academy had fewer fake things, it would indeed play a positive role for Qi Guo.
