After a while, the two of them came over with a dead lantern in their hands. Li Le was very unfamiliar with Zhuangzi, so he asked them to take him to Li Xunhuan.

Han Lu also muttered, "Little boy, you can't play tricks on the peach blossom wine and venison that you said." ”

Zhao Xian immediately patted his ass: "The little boy is a well-known righteous Bo Yuntian, where would he do such a thing that is untrustworthy? Look at your virtue." ”

Li Le waved his hand impatiently: "Where is so much, hurry up, lead the way ahead." ”

After a short time, they arrived in front of Li Xunhuan's courtyard gate, Li Le asked them to wait outside first, and then prepared to push the courtyard door. At that moment, the door of the courtyard opened by itself. Li Xunhuan came out of the door at this moment, looked at Li Le with a smile, and said, "Little brother is still looking for his brother so late, is there anything wrong?"

Li Le was curious, could Li Xunhuan be a prophet before he knocked on the door, he knew that he was coming, so he asked, "Second brother knows that I am coming?"

Li Xunhuan smiled slightly, and without much explanation, he let Li Le in.

After entering the house, Li Le picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Li Xunhuan, and poured another cup for himself. Then he asked, "How did the second brother know that I was coming?"

Li Xunhuan said: "I heard your steps, so I knew you were coming." ”

Li Le suddenly realized that in this world where peerless martial arts are rampant, this ability is really nothing to Li Xunhuan.

Li Xunhuan then said, "The little brother is here to ask about the eldest brother?"

Li Le was even more surprised: "Second brother can read minds?"

"Mind reading?" Obviously, this word made Li Xunhuan feel novel, but he also understood what Li Le meant, so he said: "It's not so mysterious, I just think that the little brother has been curious about everything since he woke up. ”

Li Lexin said, it's so arbitrary, but I really guessed right.

Li Xunhuan then said: "Originally, I would have to talk to you about these things in a few days, but now that the younger brother has asked, it is defenseless to talk to you." ”

Speaking of this, Li Xunhuan stood up, took out a pot of wine from the cupboard, poured himself a glass, drank it in one gulp, let out a long breath, and then turned around again, and continued: "Since the little brother asked, I will talk to you for the sake of my brother." After pondering for a while, he organized his language and said: "Well, this matter starts from fourteen years ago, when His Majesty had just ascended the throne, in order to consolidate the throne and recruit scholars from all over the world, he opened Enke in the golden autumn of that year. After Dabi, with the protection of his ancestors, the eldest brother got the flower exploration of that year, gave some Hanlin, walked in the study, and was recruited into the palace by His Majesty, and made the accompanying confidential documents. This is the meaning of His Majesty's intention to pull out the eldest brother, according to the eldest brother's career at that time, it is unspeakably expensive, and it will be released after two years. It's a pity that two months after the eldest brother entered the palace, something happened in the palace. ”

As he spoke, he drank another glass of wine, as if he wanted to stabilize his mind: "What is the specific matter, this is a secret in the palace." Even the eldest brother who entered the palace at that time didn't know. Of course, the second brother now knows some specific secrets, but it is inconvenient to tell you, which is also for your good. If the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, maybe the younger brother will know something. All in all, on the night of the winter solstice that year, a group of martial arts masters suddenly broke into the palace, about forty people, and everyone had a grandmaster. ”

Li Le was curious and asked, "Grandmaster?"

"Hmm. Li Xunhuan nodded: "Regarding the matter of the grandmaster, I will tell you in detail when I go back and teach you the exercises for my brother." You just need to know that all of these forty or so people have the same martial arts cultivation as Brother Wei is now. ”

Li Le's eyes suddenly widened, and he obviously felt very surprised. He thought that Li Xunhuan was already invincible in the world, and it turned out that there were so many characters who were as good as Li Xunhuan.

Li Xunhuan then said: "The eldest brother was in the south study with a few little eunuchs at the time, helping His Majesty sort out some confidential documents, and when he heard the chaos outside, he was worried about His Majesty's safety, so he ran out. The eldest brother has practiced martial arts since he was a child, although he has never walked around the rivers and lakes, but his skills are few opponents in the world. and a group of guards to intercept the invading enemy, but those people were too skilled, and the guards suffered heavy casualties, and even several old worshippers in the palace died tragically on the spot. The eldest brother, with the assistance of the guards, wounded several of the enemy, and those people saw that they could not do anything and hurriedly retreated. The eldest brother was victorious back then, and despite the persuasion of An Jiudao, the commander of the guards, he chased after four or five old worshippers. ”

Speaking of this, Li Xunhuan's mood seemed to become a little unstable, the wine glass in his hand was tightly clenched, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the wine glass gradually relaxed: "What happened after they chased out that night, now only the eldest brother knows." Everyone else died. When the eldest brother was found by the people who came to find them in front of the palace, he was already seriously injured, and the joints of his limbs and the spine of his back were nailed into six-inch-long steel needles. My father invited all the famous doctors in the capital, and His Majesty also asked the imperial doctors to try their best to treat them, but unfortunately the eldest brother was too seriously injured, and these people couldn't do anything. Fortunately, the eldest brother has deep skills and gradually survived. It's just that he refuses to say a word about what happened that night. Since then, the eldest brother has never been able to do anything with others, although his true power is extremely deep and thick, and he is already a great grandmaster, but he is also the most useless great grandmaster. Those profound true powers are just a means for the eldest brother to maintain his life. If you do it with someone, it will inevitably damage your heart, so at noon today, after the eldest brother did it with someone...... Well, a few years have passed since my eldest brother was injured that night, and I have tried to ask my eldest brother about that night, but my eldest brother did not answer the question, but only told me that if I meet those people in the future, I should not fight hard or close combat. Speaking of this, Li Xunhuan smiled self-deprecatingly, showing extreme helplessness: "Heh, fortunately, I practice flying knives." ”

Then, he stared at Li Le very seriously, and said word by word: "Little brother, I want you to remember, remember seriously, if you encounter a group of people who look like dead corpses in the future, you must be careful, and it is not a shame to escape when necessary." ”

Li Lexin said, like a dead corpse? Resident Evil, nonsense! Don't run and wait for what. But he didn't want to spoil the current serious atmosphere, so he pretended to be very serious and asked, "Second brother, will you escape?"

"Me?" Li Xunhuan smiled, but did not answer.

……

When Li Le got up and went back to his yard, it began to rain in the sky. Hazy drizzle, very cool. When he returned to his residence, he remembered that his main purpose was not to gossip about Li Beibei, but to ask if he could learn this kung fu. was frightened by the story told by Li Xunhuan, so he forgot to ask, and after thinking about it, he found that he seemed to have gone out for nothing.

Li Xunhuan sent Li Le out of the courtyard, waiting for them to go away, and faintly heard Han Lu chattering, little boy, you can't talk and don't count. Then Li Le said strangely, "An, An."

Li Xunhuan smiled slightly, and the smile represented hope.

Close the courtyard door, and on this rainy spring night, slowly walk to Li Bebei's courtyard.

At this time, Li Bebei was reading a book by candlelight. When there was a knock on the door, he said, "Come in." ”

Li Xunhuan stepped in, afraid that the spring rain and cold night would startle his brother, so he carefully closed the door.

Li Beibei put the book on the table, smiled and asked, "It's late at night, is there anything to do with finding fun?"

Li Xunhuan moved a chair, sat opposite the eldest brother, and said, "Just now, the younger brother came to me, and I told me about the eldest brother. ”

Li Beibei smiled, didn't seem to care much, and asked lightly, "Have you ever been admonished?"

Li Xunhuan nodded, indicating that everything that should be said had been said. Then he said: "After my cousin goes to Baoding, I will start to instruct my younger brother in martial arts." When my brother's foundation is a little better, I will leave. Later, when I supervise the younger brother, I will have to worry about the eldest brother. ”

Li Beibei snorted and said: "I will be careful about this matter, but I can practice or not, and I can't get many problems accurately, and the exercises I practice are not suitable for my younger brother." You'll have to wait until you come back to make a decision, so you have to take care of yourself. ”

Li Xunhuan said: "I understand, after a year, no matter where I am, I will come back." When I think about it, the practice method of "Ming Yu Jue" has basically been straightened out, and there will be no mistakes when I teach the younger brother again. ”

Li Beibei smiled and nodded in affirmation. So he didn't dwell on this matter, picked up the black invitation card on the table, and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”

Li Xunhuan said: "There are a lot of strange things on the rivers and lakes, and it doesn't matter if someone comes up with an organization of Youlan Villa. ”

Li Bei said sadly: "If it is something that some strange people on the rivers and lakes do, I don't have to bother. But the invitation card said 'I have a thousand cups of drunk, Yan Ruyu, the golden house', so I couldn't help but think about it for my brother. ”

Li Xunhuan is bold, many things don't care about those details, but he is an extremely smart person, Li Bebei's words made his heart light up, so he said: "Emperor Zhenzong of the previous dynasty once said: The rich family does not need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of millets in the book; Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book. These words are to encourage the people to read, and they are also telling the scholars that after they succeed in reading, they will be able to obtain the authority of the court. The "Golden House, Yan Ruyu" in this invitation card naturally also represents power. What does the eldest brother mean is that this matter has something to do with the court and His Majesty? No, no, this dynasty has never forbidden martial arts people to enter the court as officials, if you want to recruit masters of the rivers and lakes to serve the country, you can put it in the open, why be so sneaky. Is it ......?"

Li Beibei saw that he had understood, so he nodded as an affirmation and said: "Originally, these things have nothing to do with our family, but the younger brother will definitely serve the imperial court in the future, so Brother Wei feels that there may be trouble in the future." ”

Li Xunhuan said: "If necessary, you should remind the younger brother." ”

……

It rained overnight, and the next day the weather began to clear. Early in the morning, Li Bebei took a large family to incense his parents and ancestors. The people were busy with the @ chaos, and put fresh fruit offerings and candle incense sticks on the stone offering table in front of the graves of the old lady and the ancestors.

Li Bebei led his brothers and cousins to kneel down and burned the paper money. It's nothing more than to say something like the ancestors bless the family under the nine springs, the cousin and the second brother have a safe journey when they travel far away, and the younger brother is healthy and disaster-free.

Li Le is also praying silently: The parents of this life are clear, although I am not your son, but I occupy the body of your child, this matter is also helpless, I can't help myself, if there is a choice, who wants to come to this place. Unfortunately, I am also a bitter child whose parents died early, and I will be my biological parents in the future. The incense offerings are continuous, don't come to me for trouble, and bless me safely below. If you come to me for trouble, it will be your child's body that suffers. You two have to think about it, but don't blame me for not making it clear. Although this is a threat to the two of you, it is also a fact, you two should weigh it up. Okay, that's it, I'll come back more often in the future. Amen, uh, no, Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable......

Li Le's prayer, except for himself, naturally no one knew about it, and if the people present knew what he said in his heart, he would definitely be beaten to death.

After the things here were finished, the group said goodbye to Han Bao and embarked on the return journey. Li Le was fed up with the bumps in the carriage and insisted on riding Zhao Shi's mule. Zhao Xi had no choice but to ride out the mule that Han Lu had raised on Zhuangzi.

Walking to the avenue, Li Le had a whim, so he asked Li Xunhuan: "Second brother, I didn't understand when you shot with the flying knife yesterday, can you let me take a look at it again." ”

Li Xunhuan smiled slightly, patted his head very dotingly, and pointed to the group of geese flying in the sky returning to the north, and said, "Did the little brother see that line of geese?"

Li Le raised his eyes, looked at the wild goose that had flown to the sky, and nodded.

Li Xunhuan said: "Count the fifth from the left." ”

As he spoke, he flung his arm out slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the fifth wild goose fell from the sky.

Li Le was completely stunned, it was so far away, and those geese didn't look much bigger than sesame dots.

Li Xunhuan smiled and said, "Does the little brother want to learn? I'll teach you." ”
