When local officials heard the news, they rushed to the city.

So, the inside of Liu's Mansion was suddenly very lively, before the end of the year, the door of Liu's Mansion was already full of people, and the residents and traders who came and went, looking at the vermilion gate and the strong Liufu two-word plaque, all nodded and praised. As everyone knows, in order not to show off, Liu Shangwu also specially asked the old man not to write "General's Mansion" on the plaque.

It is true that people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the family is full of smiles. The old man was even more busy, and was often courteous with the official, who sent the greeting note through the concierge to the living room. The porter was so busy that he just sat down and beat his legs twice, and then he had to take the greeting post and send it to the living room.

Zuo Chen looked at the congratulatory gifts in the room, and he was also very happy in his heart, counting them like a miser. With the increase in the number of officials who came to congratulate, the congratulatory gifts also increased, and after countless counts, Zuo Chen lost his interest.

Without the supervision of the old man, and his mother was reluctant to urge him to practice, Zuo Chen rarely had a few days to spare. It's like a hands-off shopkeeper, go to my brothers' place, and go to my grandfather's study or Mr. Zhao's to look through the books for a while.

Zuo Chen didn't need his grandfather to say, he also understood in his heart that under the rule of the feudal dynasty, when the imperial power said hello, you would be infinitely beautiful; Once the imperial power removes your official position, you may not even be able to find a place to reason.

Therefore, Zuo Chen was very anxious and hoped that he could help his family as soon as possible. Zuo Chen thought that it was necessary to prevent problems before they happen. Therefore, books have become Zuo Chen's only spiritual food at present.

Time was running out, and Liu Shangwu returned home.

The bronze helmet has dazzling eyes floating on it, and the brand-new red military general's official uniform. On the chest is embroidered with a unicorn with white auspicious clouds on its feet and a bright sun on its head, a golden mane with colorful scales, and a slightly ornamented horn with purple gas, and looking back at the round eyes without anger and might. Pedals, black boots on a white background decorated with gold auspicious cloud patterns. With Liu Shangwu's mighty momentum, it can be described as a domineering leak.

Zuo Hui's look of admiration was overflowing, and he swore to Zuo Rong and said: "In the future, I will definitely return to my hometown like my uncle!" ”

"I heard that we are in Thailand, the emperor is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, Prince Qing is the general of the first product, and then the general of the second uncle. You say, isn't your gaze too high? Zuo Rong replied hesitantly.

"Humph! I'll be able to do it. If you don't believe it, just wait and see! As if he had made up his mind, Zuohui's eyes flashed with determination. After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zuo Rong to say anything more, he turned around and walked towards the practice room.

Watching Zuo Hui go away, Zuo Rong thought to himself, I don't know what stimulated him, coming back from the border barracks is like a different person, always feeling like a god and a god.

How did Zuo Rong know that Zuo Hui had a great sense of failure in his heart since he found out that Zuo Chen's wisdom was always above himself when he was inadvertently practicing or thinking about problems. He felt that he had not only lost his aura as the boss, but more importantly, he had lost the attention of others. This made him unbearable, why should he be under the aura of your Zuo Chen, let alone that he is so handsome and chic, and the jade tree is in the wind!

No one in the family noticed Zuo Hui's abnormality, and Zuo Rong felt a little, and he didn't see the essence of the matter. The family just thought that he was a prodigal son and no longer recruited cats and dogs and behaved nonsense. Unbeknownst to him, Zuo Hui set up a lofty goal and wish.

Driven by Zuo Hui, Zuo Rong also practiced diligently every day and complained about hardship.

And Zuo Chen spent more time reading, except for the books specially explained by the old man, such as "Three Thousand Words", "Miscellaneous Studies", "The Art of War" and other books, as long as the rest are on the old man's bookshelf, Zuo Chen will study them carefully, and ask if he doesn't understand. The old man was so happy that he often stroked the beard on his chin and nodded his head in secret admiration.

In the old man's mind, Wen Taowu is the future development direction of Zuo Chen. Now, seeing that he is hard and serious, there is no reason not to be happy in his heart. When his son Liu Shangwu was in the study and gave the repeater to himself, he praised him repeatedly, looked at Zuo Chen who was close in front of him, and had a new understanding of him.

Liu Shangwu briefly talked about the experience of entering Kyoto, and mentioned the possibility of guarding against the Li family's retaliation.

The old man pondered for a while, and said to Liu Shangwu: "It is necessary to guard against people, but we must analyze the problem from the actual situation and the situation. It's not a question of whom, but from the interests of their respective families. On the one hand, you can see the emperor's importance to you, and the second is a sign from the emperor to the outside world, and you Liu Shangwu is the emperor's right-hand man recognized by the emperor. Especially in the court, the punishment of the ministers who impeached you shows even more attitude......"

"Are you saying that they have suffered a dumb loss and dare not retaliate?" Liu Shangwu interjected and asked.

Looking at Liu Shangwu, the old man shook his head and continued: "Who dare not retaliate, who will give up if his own son dies?" It's just that I don't dare to disobey the emperor's face at present, maybe a year or more. As long as Li Ziqin is alive, he will hold a grudge against you, and he will think about killing you and avenging Li Shuang. ”

Taking a sip of tea, the old man smiled and said; "Li Ziqin, bear with it for the time being! Now if he dares to touch your hair, the emperor will give him a good look. For the sake of the Liu family, he has to endure it, and he has to endure it if he doesn't want to. It is estimated that Li Ziqin didn't know how many times he hit the wall with his head at home. ”

"...... he still has this hobby?" Hearing the old man's words, Liu Shangwu and the two couldn't help laughing.

"Don't underestimate that Li Ziqin, he is really a ruthless person, he is so cruel to himself, don't you think it's terrible?" Looking at Liu Shangwu's eyes, the old man's expression was very serious and serious.

"That's no way, he brought it on himself. The fact is that he wants to kill me first, and he can't blame anyone else!" Liu Shangwu paused slightly when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Is it possible, if he wants to kill me, I will sit and wait to be killed?" I'm not the one to be prejudiced, and I'm not going to give him another chance. Raising his hand and touching Zuo Chen's head, Liu Shangwu continued: "The emperor rewarded me with three hundred tigers, and I decided to stay in the mansion all of them, so that I can have protection once Chen'er travels." ”

Zuo Chen smiled gratefully, feeling that the topic was too heavy, and hurriedly quipped: "Maybe Li Ziqin is just pretending to be and lightly knocking on the wall a few times." ”

"You kid, think you're joking with you? Every time Li Ziqin doesn't knock himself out, he doesn't finish it, saying that he has such a deep memory. Although not many people know about his quirks, it is indeed a fact. I am telling you this because I want you to know the sinister nature of the human heart, and it is the sinister disguise of a court official. Very worried about Zuo Chen's indifference, the old man hurriedly said carefully.

"I remember, Grandpa." Zuo Chen nodded his head in interest, and the expression on his face was also very serious.

"It is estimated that one or two people who are close to Zuo Chen's body will not be able to take Chen'er's life." Liu Shangwu said proudly.

"You really look up to him, and I don't know where you got your confidence." The old man who glanced at his mouth was very skeptical of his son's words.

"You don't know?" Liu Shangwu asked in surprise.

"I ...... Know what? The old man looked like he couldn't cry or laugh, and he was confused in his heart, and he said, have I forgotten something?

"Arm crossbow! Your grandson Zuo Chen, didn't tell you all the time? Impossible! Liu Shangwu said.

"Arm crossbow? ......, should I know? Sighed. Like a bulging egg cake in a pot, it deflats on the continuous flame and sticks to the bottom of the pot. The old man's body went limp, and he also stuck to the table.

Zuo Chen saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, father, I forgot, grandma asked me to try on new clothes......" said on his lips, and ran to the inner hall, still saying, "I'll try it out, and I'll be back in a while." ”

By the time the old man and the two came back to their senses, Zuo Chen would have disappeared a long time ago......

aroused the anger of the old man, regardless of whether you are a first-class member or a general of the border pass, he reprimanded him, and poured all the unhappiness in his heart in the past few days on his son Liu Shangwu. Pity the first-class general of Shenwu, nodded with a smiling face, and didn't dare to listen silently.

Zuo Chen, who was hiding behind the door of the inner hall, thought to himself, wrong! What a grievance! Father is now more wronged than Dou E! Zuo Chen, who was far away from the center of the storm, slowly walked towards the grandmother's house, and said in his heart, it was still the most peaceful in the grandmother's house, like a safe haven, why hadn't he found it before?
