Du Qi smiled and continued, "Mother, I have Mordor by my side. As long as he's here, my safety won't be a problem. You also know Mordor. He's tall and strong enough to protect me. The reason why I was only slightly injured this time was because I had Mordor's protection. If it weren't for Mordor, I would've died in the hands of the assassins. "
The Jeong Clan nodded and said, "Good, good. It's good that Mordor is here."
At this time, the Jeong Clan gradually felt relieved.
The Jeong Clan's eyes turned and suddenly said, "Erlang, you might as well stay at home for this period of time. Don't go out. Anyway, it's the same for you at home. Moreover, you're injured and need to recuperate. "
Du Qi said, "Mother, with Mordor here, there won't be a problem. Especially since Mordor is also armed. With him here, there won't be any problems. "
The Jeong Clan heard this and sighed.
Her son had always been assertive. Once he decided on something, she couldn't persuade him. On this point, Du Qi was similar to Du Ruhui. They were both very assertive.
The Jeong Clan said, "Erlang, Mother can't help you with anything. So, you must be more careful. "
Du Qi said, "Mother, don't worry. Your son understands."
The Jeong Clan nodded and continued, "It's late. You should rest early and take care of your body. These days, tell Liu Jian to cook more delicious food to nourish your body. "
Liu Jian said, "Yes!"
The Jeong Clan stood up and walked out.
After sending the Jeong Clan away, Du Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the Jeong Clan, he was under a lot of pressure, because he couldn't bear to see the Jeong Clan cry.
Du Qi still let Liu Jian copy the books. After arranging Liu Jian's work, he went to rest early.
After all, he wasn't feeling well.
I get tired easily.
Because of his injury, Du Qi did not go out for the time being. In addition, the Jeong Clan came often, so Du Qi spent five to six days recuperating at home. Other than his daily visits to the palace to deliver books, he never left the palace.
After the wound had scabbed over, Du Qi took Liu Jian and Mordor out of the Du residence and went to the tea shop.
Du Qi often saw Qianxue. After all, Qianxue worked in the tea shop during the day and returned to the Du family to rest at night. However, Qianxue was concerned about Du Qi's injuries. After asking, she learned that Du Qi's injuries had recovered a lot. She let out a sigh of relief.
Du Qi stayed in the teahouse for a while, then went to the restaurant.
The bookstore was operating normally now.
Qian Zailai had even opened a new bookstore in the nearby county and started to sell books on a large scale. When Du Qi arrived at the restaurant, he went straight to the backyard to rest.
Jin Wuque came again.
Because of the assassination last time, Du Qi was injured, and Jin Wuque felt ashamed.
After all, it happened in the restaurant.
Jin Wuque reported the restaurant's recent business. Now, the restaurant's business was booming, and it was getting better and better. Especially when Du Qi asked the child beggars of Chang 'an City to attract customers, the restaurant's business was good, and countless businessmen came to the restaurant.
As a result, business was very good.
After Jin Wuque finished his report, Eighth Brother Zhong of the restaurant came in. After he entered, he said respectfully, "Young Master, there is a person outside the restaurant. His name is Xue Cong, and he said that he is here for Mordor."
Xue Cong was a businessman.
After Eighth Brother Zhong told him the purpose of Xue Cong's visit, he said, "Xue Cong is here to see Young Master, so I have already asked people to search him. He does not have any weapons. Therefore, Young Master does not need to worry about his safety. "
Due to the assassination attempt on Du Qi, Eighth Brother Zhong increased the number of people searching. Especially when it involved Du Qi, because he had learned a lesson from the past, he didn't dare to be careless.
Du Qi said, "Bring him in!"
"Yes!"
Eighth Brother Zhong received the order and went to pass it down.
After a while, Xue Cong entered.
Xue Cong was in his early forties, and he was fat and short. Especially his protruding belly, he looked like he was six months pregnant, and he looked charmingly naïve.
However, this person's eyes were very bright, and as he walked, his eyeballs rolled, showing intelligence.
One look and one could tell that he was a smart person.
After Xue Cong stood still, he bowed to Du Qi and said, "I am Xue Cong, greetings to Young Master Du."
Du Qi stared at Xue Cong and said seriously, "No need to be restrained, you said that you are here for Mordor. I don't know. What's your relationship with Moldor? "
Xue Cong took out a contract from his sleeve and handed it to Du Qi. He said seriously, "Young Master Du, I am a businessman. Business is business, Young Master Du, this is Mordor's contract. "
Du Qi took it and looked at it carefully. It was indeed Mordor's contract, and there was a handprint on it.
Du Qi frowned.
Because according to Mordor, when he was on his way to Chang 'an, he encountered a battle near Luoyang, and the people accompanying him were all killed or injured. Especially the businessmen he was with, they were all dead.
Under such circumstances, Mordor's contract should have been destroyed long ago. It was impossible for it to still exist.
This was what Du Qi was puzzled about.
Du Qi waved and ordered, "Mordor, come here for a moment!"
"Yes!"
Mordor walked up and stood in front of Du Qi. Du Qi handed the contract to Mordor and asked, "Take a look, is this your contract?"
"Yes!"
Mordor nodded and answered.
However, Mordor said seriously, "Young Master, I don't know this businessman. Moreover, our businessman was called Qiu Xing. He died on the spot and set us free. But I don't understand this contract. "
Du Qi heard this and turned to Xue Cong. He said, "You should have heard Mordor's words just now. Qiu Xing is already dead. They are already free men and will not be restrained. "
Xue Cong's fat face had a gentle smile. He said unhurriedly, "Young Master Du, Mordor is right. But the problem is that when Qiu Xing got Mordor and the other slaves, he had already sold all of them. As soon as they entered the Tang dynasty, Mordor and the others were already slaves in my shop. So, I have his slave contract. "
Swish!
Mordor's face changed slightly when he heard this.
He followed Du Qi and became Du Qi's personal guard. He had never been treated harshly by Du Qi. Not only that, but when he followed Du Qi, whether it was food or accommodation, they were all excellent, and he even had a monthly allowance.
This was what Mordor was most happy about.
But now, once he was taken away by Xue Cong, he did not know what would happen to him. But Mordor was sure that his life would not be as comfortable as it was now.
Mordor knelt down and said, "Young Master, I don't want to leave. I want to follow you."
He did not want to leave.
He wanted to follow Du Qi all the time.
Du Qi held Mordor's contract and gently rubbed it. He said, "Shopkeeper Xue, since you are a businessman, I am a businessman. Since you have Mordor's contract, I won't say anything else. In short, how much is Mordor? I'll buy him. "
"No way!"
Xue Cong shook his head and said, "Young Master Du, someone has already booked Mordor."
Du Qi asked, "Who booked him?"
Xue Cong shook his head and said, "This is confidential and cannot be leaked. Please forgive me, Young Master Du."
Du Qi narrowed his eyes. Previously, Du Qi had some doubts about Xue Cong's intentions. Now that he said that he wanted to buy Mordor, Xue Cong was not willing and said that someone had booked Mordor. He felt that something was wrong.
Xue Cong was not a kind person.
Kind people did not come!
He did not come with good intentions!
Du Qi's eyes gradually sharpened. He said lightly, "It seems that Shopkeeper Xue is here to make trouble for me, Du Qi! Mordor has been by my side all this time. This Young Master is used to using him. Shopkeeper Xue, can't you make things easy for me? "
He was trying peaceful means before resorting to force.
He did not make a move.
Even if he wanted to fall out, at least he had to have a reason.
