Chapter 114: The Li Compound!
The car drove slowly towards the outer city.
Li Xiaofan looked at the gradually sparse crowd and some desolate land, and asked, "Where are we going?" β
Du Nanguo looked at the documents in the car, and he smiled: "You'll know in a while." β
Li Xiaofan didn't ask any more, closed his eyes, and cultivated himself.
About an hour later, the car stopped in what looked like a small town.
"This is the Old Town." Du Nanguo said, looking around, as if he was a little nostalgic.
Li Xiaofan nodded and walked in with Du Nanguo.
The old part of the capital looks very deserted, some houses are dilapidated, there are few pedestrians on the streets, only a few vendors are hawking, and it looks very depressed.
"It used to be very bustling here." "At that time, it was also the center of the entire Dragon Kingdom. β
"By the way, it was still called Yanjing at that time."
Li Xiaofan raised his eyebrows, Yanjing? Isn't that where the Yanjing Li clan is?
Li Xiaofan didn't understand what Du Nanguo brought him here to do, and Du Nanguo felt a little strange all day today.
Du Nanguo said as he walked: "This is Zhongwu Road, there were a lot of people before, but now you can see it, it's very depressed. β
Li Xiaofan nodded.
"This is Mingguang Road, and I used to live here," Du Nanguo smiled, and then walked to a relatively spacious street, looking at this street with a somewhat moved look.
"Here...... It's Jingzhong Road. β
Li Xiaofan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered that in the Zhao family's compound, Nie Guang asked him for help, that is, to go to Jingzhong Road to find a big courtyard, is it ......
Du Nanguo walked in, and Li Xiaofan followed behind.
He has been saying lightly: "It used to be very prosperous here, Yanjing Li Clan, glorious Dragon Kingdom. β
"The street we are on now is the street where the Li family's mansion is located, and at that time, every most important order in the Dragon Kingdom was issued from here."
"Even every important battle order is issued from here, and it can be said that it is the center of the entire Dragon Kingdom."
Du Nanguo said deeply, and then stood still in front of a large compound.
Li Xiaofan looked at the compound, the gate and the wall were already dilapidated, the steps were damaged a lot, and the front of the gate was overgrown with weeds, a scene of decay.
But in the midst of this decay, there is still a little brightness.
That is the plaque of the Li compound, which is very clean, as if it is new, and it is neatly placed here.
Li Xiaofan felt a little strange.
Du Nanguo smiled: "It's not surprising, the Li family's protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials were all over the world, even if they were convicted of treason, there are still many people who firmly believe that they are not guilty." β
Li Xiaofan nodded.
"Let's go, let me go in and have a look."
"Can you get in?" Li Xiaofan asked.
Du Nanguo laughed: "I don't know if others can get in or not, but you can." β
Li Xiaofan felt that this sentence was a little inexplicable, and then followed in.
It seems that the people who cleaned up the Zhao family only cleaned up the plaque of the Li family's compound, and the compound was still a scene of decay.
Broken tables and chairs, withered flowers and trees, and growing weeds are shocking.
Li Xiaofan found that there was a word written on every house, and some were: loyalty.
Yes, brave.
Yes, faith.
Yes, righteousness.
Judging from the layout of the compound, it is very simple, and it can be guessed that the previous owner was not luxurious at all.
Du Nanguo walked in front of this house with the word "righteousness", full of emotion, he stretched out his hand and touched the pillar in front of the door, and said, "Before, I lived here. β
Li Xiaofan was a little surprised: "Uncle Du, was he from the Li family before?" β
Du Nanguo smiled: "To put it simply, my father once did something for the Li family. β
Li Xiaofan nodded, and secretly said that Du Nanguo actually had such a relationship with the Li family, so it was not difficult to explain that the Zhao family was so displeased with Du Nanguo.
"At that time, Brother Fangcheng and I always laughed at Zilong, saying that he listened to his sister-in-law so much that he couldn't go out for a drink, and every time he had to rack his brains to think of a reason, for fear that his sister-in-law would find out."
Du Nanguo recalled the past, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
"Feng'er doesn't speak every time, and helps Zilong, haha, it's really happy to think about it at that time, Brother Fangcheng has the best amount of alcohol, and I'm not bad, Feng'er doesn't drink, Zilong will pour a glass."
"We laughed at Zilong again, but Zilong was the most accomplished of us, and we all knew he was very capable."
Li Xiaofan was a little absorbed when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Du, ......what are you talking about Zilong?"
Du Nanguo was deeply stunned, looked at Li Xiaofan's face, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly smiled.
"He is the fourth son of the Li family, the son of Li Qiankun, Li Zilong."
Li Xiaofan secretly said in his heart that it was indeed the same as what Nie Guang said.
And it sounds like the relationship between Du Nanguo and Li Zilong is not bad.
Du Nanguo found a clean place to look at it, and continued: "Although Zilong is the youngest son, he showed super military ability at a very young age, and when the current Dragon Kingdom God of War was still a general, he fought with the general. β
"Zilong went into battle to kill the enemy, and he looked at it! Even when he came back to Yanjing, he was only twenty-five years old, and he was the most shining star in the entire Dragon Kingdom! Our brothers are no match for him. β
Dunan didn't speak, looking up into the distance.
"Hey, it's a pity, God is jealous." Du Nanguo stood up, "A civil strife consumed the national strength of the Dragon Kingdom, and also made the prosperous Yanjing Li clan disappear from then on. β
Li Xiaofan suddenly couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Du, is that Yanjing Li really a traitor?" β
Du Nanguo looked at Li Xiaofan's eyes: "Then what do you think?" β
"I don't know, after all, I haven't experienced it." Li Xiaofan shrugged.
Du Nanguo was stunned, and suddenly smiled: "You haven't experienced ......"
"Yes, you haven't experienced it, but ......" Du Nanguo looked at him faintly, "Xiaofan, didn't you find out, are you also surnamed Li?" β
Li Xiaofan was deeply stunned, his expression froze for two seconds, and then said casually: "Uncle Du, you don't really think that I have anything to do with that Yanjing Li family, do you have to have anything to do with the Yanjing Li family?" β
Du Nanguo looked at Li Xiaofan deeply and smiled: "Yes, there are too many people surnamed Li in the Dragon Kingdom." β
"Then it's better to say that Li Daoqi is also from the Li family." Li Xiaofan shrugged.
Du Nanguo shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I want to take you to see it now, and tell you how brilliant the Li family was in the past, and what the Li family has become now." β
Li Xiaofan suddenly remembered something, and still felt that he would talk to Du Nanguo.
"Uncle Du, last time, I broke into the Zhao family." Li Xiaofan said.
Dunan Guo didn't finish speaking, obviously already knowing.
Li Xiaofan smiled bitterly: "Then, I accidentally saw a person, and he said his name was ...... Nie Guang! β
Rumble!!
Dunan turned around suddenly, staring at him with dead eyes!
His expression was very shocked, and he looked at him in disbelief: "What did you say?" Nie Guang?! β
"Yes." Li Xiaofan said, "I saw it, and he said he was Li Qiankun's...... Chamberlain?! β
"Butler?" Du Nanguo was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and burst into tears!
"Nie Guang, you're still alive!!"
Du Nanguo asked with concern: "Where is he?" How about now? β
Li Xiaofan said: "He was locked up in a cellar of the Zhao family, which was not very good, and his legs were estimated to be crippled!" β
Du Nanguo's eyes suddenly became very cold, and he clenched his fists: "Zao Wou-ki!" β
Li Xiaofan was a little puzzled: "Uncle Du, do you know?" β
After a long time, Du Nanguo calmed down, exhaled and said, "Nie Guang, he is not a housekeeper, he is the brother of Old Man Li." β
"What? Brothers? Then why did he ......" Li Xiaofan was a little puzzled.
Du Nanguo said deeply: "Old Man Li once saved Nie Guang's life, and since then, Nie Guang has been by Old Man Li's side, from birth to death for him, he claims to be the great butler of the Li family, but in fact, Old Man Li has never regarded him as a subordinate. β
"The descendants of the Li family have great respect for Nie Guang, and they all call Uncle Nie or Grandpa Nie."
Li Xiaofan nodded, it turned out to be like this.
Just as Dunan Guo was about to continue, a broom was suddenly thrown in from the door and smashed directly at Du Nanguo.
Li Xiaofan's eyes were quick and he stopped him!
"Get out! You are not welcome at Lee! β
