Chapter 16: Secrets

Two months after the opening of the Le Busi Rental Library, the internal changes are changing with each passing day. Li Le was already tired of the day when he was sent to the settlement reception every day, so Su Xiafei, who stayed behind, was naturally arranged by Li Le as the front desk manager. Considering how the stone feels to her, for now, it can be said that she has become her own family.

Li Yuhan and Yan Xiaowu have become good friends who talk about everything. The small one is outrageously precocious, and the big one is amazingly childish, and there is nothing surprising about this pairing.

There are more and more frequent residents of low-rent restaurants, but the income has not increased significantly, for the simple reason that rent is forced and gambling debts are pressed. And the boss Li Le is too lazy, not only is he not active in doing things, but he is not even too lazy to collect money at the end of the month. As long as those bitter tenants say that they don't have a word for the time being, and ask for a few days of grace, Li Le will turn around and leave, often leaving this matter behind after two days.

In the past, the stone had already made trouble, but now, this guy is bathing in love, and he has completely lost his concept of these things.

Fortunately, the income from the bath and the rent from the noodle shop and pharmacy in Stone finally survived the mortgage repayment crisis in the second quarter. Shi meets Su Xiafei every day, and a smile often hangs on his face. The little aunt and Yan Xiaowu have become close friends in the boudoir, and they look carefree all day long. Only Li Le, but his heart is rarely at ease.

Bao Dejin will never give up his coveting of Taihang Tower, the previous events made him understand that it is difficult to take by force, this person is shrewd, and he will definitely think of other ways if he finds that it is hard to come. There is also an uncle and nephew of Fan Qinghui Sandoujin, last time Li Le gambled on the knife worker and won three doujin, which temporarily solved the crisis of selling double treasures, but there is a saying that if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves.

All indications indicate that there must be a big secret hidden in the Taihang Tower. Whether it's Bao Dejin or Yipinju, they all come for this secret. Bao Rilong must have known about this matter, but the old man didn't say it to himself until he died, and it is estimated that Bao Rilong, who has always worshiped the old man like a god, will not say it to himself. Li Le thought that instead of embarrassing the family, it was better to explore it slowly.

A few days ago, taking advantage of the opportunity of the renovation and decoration of Taihang Building, Li Le had already explored the entire building inside and out, and really dug out a few old objects, which were estimated to be the ancestors who were afraid that the descendants of the future generations would lose their families, so they were left to the descendants of the Li family to dig out for emergency when they had no food and clothing. I invited Hao Luna to see it, and it can be called a lot of value, but it is definitely not enough to be a priceless treasure, and it is not worth the painstaking consideration of such powerful characters as Bao Dejin and Yipinju. Other than that, nothing unusual was found.

Immediately, Li Le set his eyes on the old things left by the old man, and the focus was naturally on the family heirlooms. So, for more than a dozen nights in a row, the big boss who was happy didn't sleep every night, either holding a knife or holding a table under the lamp in a daze. I was dazzled by it, and I didn't see the reason. After searching for it, the lazy bones on Li Le's body finally attacked, and he simply gave up this idea for the time being.

On this day, he suddenly received a call from Bao Rilong, saying that he was going to invite Li Le to hunt in the grassland. Bao Rilong will not be full of idle and have nothing to hunt and play, Li Le felt that this meeting must have a deep meaning, so he happily went.

Three hundred miles to the northeast outside the north pass of the ancient city is the boundary of the Mongolian Autonomous Region, and further northeast is the reckless and endless Xilin Gol steppe.

The front and rear three Hummer jeeps galloped on the vast grassland, the grass grew and eagles flew, a magnificent scenery.

Along the way, after crossing the Great Cullen Lake, the population became more and more sparse, and almost every family in the yurt house passed by would come out to salute and offer home-brewed mare's milk wine and milk tea after seeing the Humvee of the Baori Dragon. The respect is beyond words.

Bao Rilong pulled Li Le to ride in the same car, and the driver was his most trusted Butuzhile.

Bao Rilong said to Li Le: "From the easternmost Hulunbeier grassland, all the way to the west, there are Horqin grassland, Xilin Gol grassland, the Alxa Desert in the west, and the Mongolian grassland, these grasslands are the roots of our Mongolians, and they are also the burial place of my family's soul. ”

"You mean the rumor about the place where Genghis Khan was buried?"

"You think that's just a rumor?"

"Of course I wouldn't think so, but there are so many rumors about this that over the decades, more than one person has claimed to have discovered the Golden Family's underground burial complex." Li Le's heart moved slightly, Bao Rilong would not talk about this matter for no reason, and instantly thought of a certain possibility.

"Tomb swarms?" Bao Rilong snorted lightly and said, "It's too small. ”

Li Le said: "What do you want to say to me, it's better to be direct." ”

Bao Rilong said: "You have already guessed what I want to say, that's right, I just want to tell you about the underground gold city where our golden family's bones are buried." ”

Li Le didn't quite understand what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and the old man didn't say anything until he died, why did he suddenly find himself to talk about it, although he was puzzled, he still asked solemnly: "But it has something to do with Taihang Tower?" ”

Bao Rilong nodded: "Exactly." He went straight to the point and continued: "There is a big secret hidden in Taihang Tower, which is related to the location of the Golden Family Cemetery, and your Li family has been helping us guard this secret for three hundred years. ”

"Why did you suddenly decide to sue me?" Li Le asked without hesitation.

"Because I miss my son, because I don't want the Li family to die for this secret." Bao Rilong's expression was a little excited, and said: "Last time Bao Dejin told you that he was from the Golden Family, what he said was actually the truth, and because it was the truth, I have every reason to believe that he would not give up." ”

"I know how good he is." Li Le said indifferently: "To be honest, I don't think he has the ability to make my Li family the last." ”

"It's not just him who's scary." Bao Rilong's expression was solemn, and his tone was solemn: "I have been investigating the causes and consequences of the Taihanglou incident a while ago, but I didn't expect to find that person after checking and checking." ”

"Who?" Li Le asked casually: "Is it worth being so pessimistic?" ”

A hint of bitterness flashed in Bao Rilong's eyes, he sighed, and said, "Speaking of which, this person still has some relationship with you." ”

Li Le was even more interested, "Let's talk about it." ”

"She's a woman, you should call her grandma in terms of seniority." Bao Rilong showed a look of falling into a certain memory, sighed again, and continued: "The guns of Yudong and the knives of Guanxi all say that the most powerful knife technique is your Li family's eighteen slashes, and the most powerful swordsman is of course the old man, however, this is not the case. ”

"Is that the woman you're talking about?"

Bao Rilong nodded heavily, and said: "That's right, it's her, at that time I was still in the Li family to learn art with the old man, she is the daughter of an old man in Taihang Building, she is very beautiful, about ten years older than me, ten years younger than the old man." At that time, she was the girl who was responsible for taking care of the old man's daily life, and when the old man passed on my qigong and knife skills, she often listened to them, and often I didn't have a clue, but she had already understood. ”

"Later, the old man saw that she had a high level of understanding and was willing to work hard, even she taught together, but I didn't expect her to learn very fast, and soon reached a very high level, the old man was very happy, and taught her all the Li family's knife techniques and qigong without reservation, and she did not live up to the old man's hard work, and the progress was not even below the old man."

"I taught the apprentices and starved the master to death, and they turned against each other later?" Li Le tried to guess based on the current situation.

Bao Rilong shook his head and said that this was not the case, and continued: "Despite this, she has never been disrespectful to the old man, and she serves carefully every day, which is comparable to any good wife and mother, until the day when the old man married your grandmother according to the arrangement of the family, she drank a lot of wine at the wedding, and suddenly proposed to test the sword technique with the old man." ”

Li Le guessed: "As a result, my grandfather lost?" ”

Bao Rilong nodded and said: "That's the case, she is talented, she can learn sword qigong, and her kung fu attainments have long been better than the old man, because of her deep love for the old man, in order to care about the old man's face, she deliberately made reservations every time she took over, but that night, before defeating the old man, she did not have the slightest reservation." ”

Li Le listened fascinated, and estimated in his heart that this grandmother loved the old man very much, and had been serving her lover with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes before, just hoping to leave a gentle and virtuous impression, and one day get what she wanted. Until that day, seeing the marriage of his lover who has cherished him for many years, the bride is not himself, and it is difficult to accept it for a while. I figured out a guò martial arts competition to regain the old man's attention to her.

"And then?"

Bao Rilong sighed: "The old man was defeated, but he didn't regret it at all, but he was very happy and praised her, but when Sister Er Ya proposed not to be famous, and only wanted to be small by his side, she resolutely refused." He paused when he said this, and his eyes showed regret, "Sister Er Ya was heartbroken, and waved her hand to slash at your grandmother, but she stopped an inch in front of her heart, and dropped a sentence: Li Qianjun, with you alive for a day, I will not return to the ancient city, but after you die, I will come back and take away a cherished thing you cherished in life!" Then he left. ”

"Erya, this grandmother's name is interesting." Li Le was not only not afraid, but felt quite looking forward to it.

Bao Rilong said: "Later, your grandmother died of a heart attack when she gave birth to your father, and it was precisely because she was hurt by the knife of the second sister before leaving, and the injury was latent until the moment of life and death. ”

Li Le sighed: "Using a knife to control qi, hurting people in the air, without a battle of life and death, only with talent and understanding to comprehend such a realm, this second grandmother is indeed good." ”

Bao Rilong was slightly surprised: "I have also learned the eighteen slashes of the Li family, but I have never heard of this kind of realm you said. ”

Li Le said: "This second grandmother has never come back after leaving, and now the old man has passed away, and it has been nearly sixty years since then, maybe this old grandmother has passed away a long time ago, or she has forgotten about it completely." ”

"No plan!" Bao Rilong shook his head slowly, solemnly: "Do you know who the chairman of Yipinju is?" ”

When the Mongolian prince asked, Li Le knew without thinking about it, "I didn't know before, but now I probably guessed it." sighed, and said: "No wonder this Yipinju will be combined with Baode Jinshen, but there is still such a past." ”

Bao Rilong said: "Sister Er Ya is a very paranoid person, she will not forget the promise she made back then. ”

The question is how is she going to take away the old man's cherished things during his lifetime?

The tone of the Mongolian prince was pessimistic, but Li Le had another opinion. Throughout the ages, it is not uncommon to hate because of love, often the deeper the hate, the deeper the love, love and hate are intertwined, and there are many contradictions. Although Yipinju helped Bao Dejin to defeat the business of Taihang Building, and also defeated the old man at the North and South Kitchen King Meeting, and clearly expressed their ambition for the Li family's Shuangbao, they did not help Bao Dejin in the incident in front of Taihang Building. On the contrary, listening to the meaning of Bao Dejin, it seems that the people of Yipinju have also interceded for Taihang Building.

The most difficult thing in life to explain is emotional problems. Complex and changeable, prosaic and incredible.

No one can say exactly what the second grandmother is planning. Bao Rilong's pessimistic reaction seemed to be a bit contrived. The dignified Mongolian prince wants to die before he fights, which is not like his character.

Bao Rilong continued: "A while ago, I asked someone to inquire about the details of Bao Dejin in Nanyang, and I checked the origin of Yipinju, but I didn't expect to find out that the founder of Yipinju was a lady from an ancient city in China. ”

Li Le felt that there was something strange in his attitude, and he faintly had his own judgment in his heart. I didn't believe his words, but listened silently to him tell the whole story.

When Bao Rilong heard the news, he immediately thought of the second girl who rebelled against the Li family back then, so he hurriedly asked someone to conduct an in-depth investigation. As a result, it was found out that this lady came to the Lion City 58 years ago and started a restaurant chain group from scratch. He never got married, but he adopted three righteous sons, who were called one scale of gold, two coins of silver and three buckets of gold.

In the Lion City business district, no one knows what this lady's name is, and people in the group only know her surname as Fan. As far as Bao Rilong knows, the Er Ya family was surnamed Fan, but that Fan was Fan of Fan Lihua, not Fanyin of Fanyin.

At that time, Bao Rilong had already determined that the founder of Yipinju was the second sister of the year. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Bao Rilong specially asked someone to send a newspaper with a photo of the founder of Yipinju. The results fully confirmed this judgment.

"She is so deliberate to open a branch of Yipinju to the ancient city, and regardless of the cost, she has crushed the business of Taihanglou, and now, she is seeking to cooperate with Taihanglou, what do you think she will do?"

Li Le snorted, nodded, agreed with Bao Rilong's analysis, and asked rhetorically, "What are you going to do?" ”

Bao Rilong said: "She wants to get Taihang Tower, the purpose is to destroy the Li family's ancestral training promise that the old man adheres to, but it is not for the dungeon of the golden family, but Taihang Tower is only a part of her revenge, and the old man cherished more than a building during his lifetime, whether it is you or Yuhan's little sister, or even stones, they are the most cherished by the old man during his lifetime, and her Yipinju has been in the ancient city to open a branch for three years, and the grass and trees around the old man have long been clearly touched by her. ”

"You mean she's not going to spare anyone?"

Bao Rilong sighed on his forehead: "Sister Er Ya is kind in nature, and she will not make cruel revenge, but she has a strong personality, for the sake of the old man, she has a good youth, she has not been married for sixty years, and she has endured loneliness for so many years, even if she is a good person, it is difficult to say whether there will be any changes." ”

How deep will a woman's hatred be for a man with the time of her life? Li Le is also a sad person, and he empathizes with this. Perhaps it is the relationship between the same fallen people at the end of the world, Li Le does not have much disgust with this second grandmother who is planning to take revenge on the Li family. On the contrary, there is some sympathy and curiosity.

Li Le sighed lightly and said: "In the end, this is the love debt owed by the old man, since I promised him to keep the inheritance left by my ancestors, there is no reason to give up halfway, if the old lady wants to take revenge, let her come, I will not go anywhere, and I don't plan to give up any responsibility." ”

Bao Rilong said in a deep voice: "This is originally a matter for the descendants of our golden family, your Li family has kept this secret for three hundred years, and you really shouldn't risk our affairs again." ”

"You brought the stone here for this day, right?"

Bao Rilong said in a deep voice: "He is my son, the inheritor of the golden family's lineage, this is his responsibility. ”

"He's still my brother." Li Le said indifferently: "I used to be a soldier, and the most shameful act on the battlefield is to leave behind my brother who shares life and death, this kind of thing I Li Le has never done before, and I will not do it in the future." ”

"If you want to recognize the stone, just go and recognize it, but I hope you don't rush to give him all the qiē first, I just ask you one thing: Is the nature of the stone suitable for your position?"

Bao Rilong was silent, staring at Li Le intently, as if judging whether Li Le's words were sincere.

Li Le continued: "You can tell me about the secret between Taihang Lou and your family, or you can continue to keep it, I think the old man didn't tell him this secret, there must be his considerations, and I, Li Le, only do what I think I should do, whether you trust it or not, my promise to the old man will not change." ”

The jeep stopped, and in front of it was a rolling hilly terrain with low windblown grass and a forest of trees. Bao Rilong pushed the door and got out of the car and beckoned Li Le to get off.

Buturile jumped out of the car, bowed to Bao Rilong and said: "Lord Wang, everything is ready, Batu and Qi Muge have been following for three days and three nights, and the group of yellow sheep is in the forest in front." ”

Bao Rilong took the two guns from the hands of the followers, threw them to Li Le, and said: "You have been gone for eight years, and there is no news, the old man is worried that your kung fu has already been put aside, and the incident in front of Taihang Tower proves that you not only did not regress, but became stronger than eight years ago, and the old man will be pleased to see this result in the spirit of heaven, but this is not enough." ”

Li Le took the gun, and knew that it was an old five-six-type semi-automatic rifle without looking at it. 7.62 caliber, 10 rounds of ammunition. Although it is a long-obsolete piece of equipment, it is still a good gun. Long range and high accuracy.

Bao Rilong said in a deep voice: "It's hard for immortals to hide from the smoke, no matter how good your skills are, you can't beat this thing, you have been a soldier for eight years, you are no stranger to this thing." ”
