Chapter 36: Pleading on a Rainy Night
"What do you need me to do?"
Regarding Liu Wenlu's straightforward approach, Li Chu was no longer surprised, and sat down and said: "In a few days, it will be the day when I and Feng Jiu get married, I heard that someone will come to make trouble." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Liu Wenlu's eyes were shocked, and he said with some uneasiness: "Who?" β
"Maybe it's the cannibal gang, or maybe it's the ministers who can't get used to me, all in all, I hope that on the day you get married, you can send some people to guard nearby, and if something happens, you must protect the phoenix for a long time." Seeing that he was extremely cautious, Li Chu breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes darkened, and there was some indescribable silence in his heart.
Liu Wenlu frowned, pretended to think deeply for a moment, and then replied: "Okay, I can help you with this." But...... I want to know one thing now. β
Li Chu slowly raised his eyes to look at him and motioned for him to continue.
"There are so many generals in the court, which ones are loyal to the emperor to the death?"
It was too direct for him to ask this, Li Chu shook his head extremely slightly, retracted his hand into his sleeve and said: "There are dozens of generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, but there are only two who really have status, Li Xun, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, and Wu Weizhong, the general in charge of the Northern Sichuan Army. β
Li Chu thought for a while, got up and looked out of the house, and wrote lightly: "Among the generals, only these two can be called blood and bone loyalty. β
"You're going back?" Liu Wenlu also got up as he spoke, glanced at the gradually hazy sky and said, "You came alone?" Shall I send you a carriage to take you back? β
Li Chu shook his head, turned his head sideways and smiled, "Someone will come to pick me up." β
Seeing that he insisted on doing so, Liu Wenlu stopped being polite, and walked with Lichu at the moment and sent it all the way to the gate of the palace.
Jin Yuan kept pacing at the door, the umbrella in his hand was still dripping with rain, and his anxious face suddenly brightened up after seeing Lichu, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Childe, it's raining, I'll deliver the umbrella." β
"Farewell." Li Chu turned around and nodded slightly at him.
Liu Wenlu suddenly thought that the two of them had never done these false courtesies before, but now they ...... However, after being slightly stunned, he quickly returned the salute.
Since he came on foot, he must also go on foot, Jin Yuan was not polite, so he tried hard to raise the umbrella, which seemed a little difficult.
"I'll take it." Li Chu naturally snatched the umbrella from his hand, and his shallot-like hand was blown twice by the wind, and instantly turned red and purple.
Jin Yuan always felt that something was wrong, and after a closer look, he realized that he had never been in the robe on his body, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Childe, what's wrong with your clothes?" β
"What's wrong with the clothes?" Li Chu didn't react at first, looked down, and then chuckled and said, "I just got drenched in the rain, and I changed my clothes when they got wet, so I'll wash them and send them over in a few days." β
Jin Yuan seemed to have reluctance on his face, and he didn't answer with a face, but after walking for a long time, he didn't see Li Chu asking, so he couldn't help but complain: "You know that Liu Wenlu hates you, and he and Feng Jiu want to harm you, why are you still ......?"
"Jinyuan! I've said it many times, Feng Jiu is your aunt, you should be more tolerant of her, they didn't know what happened back then, and they should hate me. If they can remain indifferent after experiencing such a thing, it is really chilling. Li Chu slightly accentuated his tone and said in a suppressed voice.
Jin Yuan paused, looked at Li Chu in confusion and said, "Then you just tell them?" Why hide it from them? Is it any harm to you to speak out? β
Li Chu opened his mouth, but he didn't say what was in his mouth, he didn't care if he would hurt himself if he said it, but saying it would definitely hurt Feng Jiu and Liu Wenlu to do stupid things.
Rather than letting them follow in, it is better to let them focus on themselves, which is also a little less dangerous.
"If you're embarrassed to say, then I'll say, isn't Feng Jiu my aunt? You can't even believe me, do you? β
Seeing that the young man beside him was so stubborn, Li Chu put his hand on his shoulder and persuaded: "The less people know about such a major event as the restoration of the country, the better, Wen Lu is impulsive and reckless, but it will bring us a lot of trouble." As for Feng Jiu, I did this to protect her, and if you have someone you like in the future, you will understand. β
Hearing the words of the person he liked, a face flashed in Jin Yuan's mind, and he seemed to understand and didn't seem to understand, so he stopped asking.
Before he arrived at the Rite Mansion, it was dark, and the wind and rain were pervasive, hitting his face, hands and robe, and Li Chu couldn't help but shiver.
But he was not cold, but frightened by the murderous aura around him.
"Childe!" A group of black-clothed men hid in the night, and they couldn't see their faces clearly when they spoke, but Li Chu knew that they were the cannibals.
Li Chu didn't know what they were suddenly looking for, so he gasped and said, "So open-minded, aren't you afraid of being discovered?" β
"What happened last time, we were reckless, and we didn't know that Childe was ...... Please also ask the son to punish him. β
For their unruly appearance this time, Li Chu was even more angry than last time, and said: "If you still think that I am your son, you should know that everything must be done according to the rules, and it is one time to enter the Rite Mansion, and this time you will go out to ask for guilt, who is the leader?" β
"It's me." A man in a white brown robe slowly walked out of the darkness, and he said to the cannibal gang as he walked towards Lichu, "Childe asked you to go, don't you understand?" β
The cannibals stood in the rain and hesitated slightly, and then disappeared in an instant.
Although his face couldn't be seen in the darkness of the night, his black and shining eyes were very familiar, Li Chu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Second uncle? β
The person who came was taken aback, and said in a surprised tone: "Second uncle? You recognize the wrong person, I am Zishan. β
"Zishan?" Li Chu also felt that he was incredible, and immediately smiled, "I'll just say, who else can order the cannibal gang besides you Zishan?" β
Zishan sighed and said: "I brought these people out, I have been in the gang for a long time, and after the corpse is gone, I haven't seen anyone they admire, but they are under your hands." β
"Joked, if you really convinced me, how could you show up here without permission? Please, please, which sin please? Li Chu laughed at himself.
Zishan was more serious, and explained very seriously: "You are now their eldest son, they acted rashly and entered the Rite Mansion, isn't this a big deal?" A few cowardly, afraid of being tortured, have committed suicide. β
"Suicide? But I never said that I would punish them severely, not even the word punishment. Li Chu looked at Jin Yuan in surprise, and Jin Yuan hurriedly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"You don't know, it's very cruel to cover the corpse and punish people, it's worse than death, many disciples in the gang are outlaws, Rao is so, they are still more afraid of covering the corpse."
Although Zishan said that the corpse was like a tyrant, there was a lot of sorrow and nostalgia in his tone, and he asked curiously: "What about you?" Why do things for such an inhumane person? Even after his death, it was the same as ever. β
"Hahaha......" Zishan laughed heartily, and the laughter collided back and forth on the path, and then he stopped smiling and wrote lightly, "Because sometimes my methods are more cruel than his." β
