Chapter 33: The Ancestral Hall of the Clan
Li Zhifan drove the carriage and took his mother through the passage of thousands of people, and no one dared to step forward to stop him from beginning to end.
Li Nianci was extremely surprised in her heart, she didn't know when her son actually had such a strong strength!
When the two of them arrived safely at the door of the Li family's mansion, Li Nianci was still like a dream, and he couldn't believe that it was true!
"Zhifan, when did you refine your sword technique? You can actually cut things in the air!" Li Nianci couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Where do I know how to use a knife, but the knife in this hand is a little more powerful. Li Zhifan said with a smile.
Li Nianci looked at the ordinary short knife in his son's hand, and felt that this knife was not very powerful, which showed that his son still hid some secrets and didn't want her to know!
Li Nianci didn't ask anything more, she opened her mouth at this time and said, "Zhifan, you wait here, I'll go and let people open the door." ”
Li Nianci had just walked less than three zhang away towards the gate of the Li family, when he suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air above his head!
"Be careful!"
Li Zhifan hurriedly rushed over and slashed at the arrows above his mother's head, but because the distance was a little far, the wind blade of the Wind Breaking Knife was not powerful enough, and he did not cut off these arrows, but it also temporarily helped his mother out of danger!
Li Nianci was also taken aback, she didn't expect that the people of the Li family would directly release the cold arrow without saying a word! If it wasn't for her son rushing over to save her in time just now, I'm afraid she would have been shot into a hedgehog at this moment!
"Listen, people from the Li family! I am Li Nianci, who was kicked out of the Li family thirteen years ago! Today, I specially brought my son to resist foreign enemies with the Li family!" Li Nianci immediately shouted in the direction of the Li family's mansion.
At this time, a few heads appeared on the high wall of the Li family, and after a while, the door of the Li family opened, and a man in white came over to greet him with a smile.
"Sister Nianci, it's really you! I almost injured your mother and son by mistake just now! How did you pass through the blockade of the Zhao family's soldiers and horses?"
This middle-aged man is dressed in a white robe, and his chest is tattooed with a golden plum character, which is also a symbol of status, only people with enough strength and status can have a golden plum embroidery, and ordinary people are black or red.
This middle-aged man claimed to be Li Nianci's elder brother, but Li Zhifan didn't see anything similar to his mother's appearance, after all, tens of thousands of people in the Li family are their mother's elder brothers, and their family is too huge!
"It turned out to be Brother Shijie!Zhifan!Come and see your uncle!" Li Nianci looked excited, in her heart, the Li family has always had a very heavy weight.
But Li Zhifan didn't have the slightest fluctuation in his heart, he looked at the man in front of him expressionlessly, he didn't think that this person was his uncle, he only remembered that his mother was almost pierced by the Li family's arrows just now!
"Big brother, don't mind, this kid is a little timid, let's go home and talk about it in detail!" Li Nianci said with a smile.
Li Shijie came back to his senses and no longer looked at Li Zhifan's eyes, for a moment, he actually felt that the eyes of this teenage boy were particularly terrifying!
"Oh, this is normal, after all, this is the first time he has returned to the Li family, and the patriarch has already instructed that as long as you come, you will directly let the names of your mother and son be included in the Li family's genealogy!" Li Shijie said very seriously.
When she heard this, Li Nianci's emotions suddenly became excited, she had been looking forward to it for so many years, and she had always thought that there was such an opportunity, and now her dream can finally come true!
However, Li Zhifan said on the side: "We still need to think about this matter for the time being, so we are not in a hurry." ”
"Huh? you ......."
Li Shijie was a little panicked in his heart, because if Li Nianci and Li Zhifan did not officially return to the Li family, it would be difficult for their Li family to hug the Ye family's thighs!
"Zhifan, what nonsense are you talking about! The clan can let us return to the Li family, this is already a huge kindness! Don't play with the temper of a child, this matter is so decided! Brother Shijie, take us to the clan ancestral hall!" Li Nianci said with great excitement in his heart.
Li Zhifan looked at his mother's excited appearance, he really didn't want to hit the other party now, so he followed his mother to the ancestral hall of the Li clan first.
The Li family's mansion is much larger than the Zhao family's mansion, and you need to take a carriage to enter the door, and if you walk, it will delay a lot of time!
After a while, the three of them came to the ancestral hall of the clan, where there were nine old people, the one in the middle looked old, and the old men on both sides were quite healthy.
These are all the highest-ranking people in the Li clan! The old man in the middle is none other than Li Longxing, the head of the Li family, who is already eighty-three years old this year!
"Qiyu family master, Li Nianci and Li Zhifan bring it!" Li Shijie stood respectfully at the door to report, he was only being called around to run errands, and he was not even qualified to enter the clan ancestral hall.
The old man sitting in the center opened his eyes slightly, and said listlessly: "Since you are here, let's start." ”
"Big brother, do you really want them to return to the Li family tree? There seems to be some small problems in the Ye family, otherwise wait until the people of the Ye family come three days later, let's see the other party's attitude?"
The old man sitting on the left felt that this matter was a bit sloppy, after all, it was a return to the family tree, and it couldn't be too child's play!
"Third brother, it has been very difficult for their mother and son over the years, if they wait until the people of the Ye family come and then let them return to the Li family, it will seem that our Li family is too inflammatory!" Another old man raised an objection.
"Fourth, they are members of your clan, you naturally protect them, but you have to think about it, are their mother and son really qualified to stay in the Li family? Although Li Nianci has a six-grade bloodline, her blood marrow has been taken out, and this kid is even more stupid by nature, why should we let them return to the Li family? Isn't it just for the sake of the Ye family's face? And now that the Ye family has had some small changes, we have to think carefully!"
The Li clan has been inherited for a long time, there are many bloodline branches, and naturally many factions have been formed, the eight elders here are the most authoritative representatives of the Li family, but they are suspicious and hostile to each other, if they can unite as one, how can Jianye City have a foothold for the other three families?
Now the crux of the problem lies in the Ye family, originally received the news that Li Zhifan's father was going to come over to greet their mother and son in person, but now the situation has changed, because Li Zhifan's father is going to marry the eldest princess of the Chinese Empire!
Therefore, the attitude of the Li family towards Li Nianci's mother and son needs to be carefully considered, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, whether the Ye family wants their Li family to take care of Li Nianci's mother and son, or does they want to use the hands of the Li family to eradicate these two? This will have to wait until the people of the Ye family show their attitude three days later!
Seeing that the people of the Li family were so entangled, Li Zhifan sneered in his heart, and he said at this time: "Mother, look at the faces of these people, at this time, they are still calculating gains and losses!"
