"General, why are you here?" Li Jie was also stunned when he saw Lan Yu coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but he was also a little dazed at this time, why is this plot so familiar? Could it be like those rotten street slaps in the face in later generations, he just slapped others in the face, and then others invited Lan Yu to slap himself in the face, right?

Thinking of this, Li Jie couldn't help but look at Li Cunren next to him, could this old man know Lan Yu, so he invited Lan Yu to support him, right? If that's the case, you're in trouble.

"Why, you are only allowed to go back to your hometown to visit relatives, and I am not allowed to go back to my hometown to visit relatives?" Unexpectedly, Lan Yu smiled at Li Jie and smiled, and there was no malice in his expression.

Li Jie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then suddenly remembered that although Dingyuan County is a small place, there were many great characters in the early Ming Dynasty, in addition to Li Shanchang, Feng Guoyong, and Feng Sheng's brothers, Lan Yu is also from Dingyuan County, but the Lan family has no foundation in Dingyuan County, unlike the Li family and the Feng family, which are both local clans.

"I see, I forgot that the general and I are still fellow villagers!" Li Jie also slapped his head when he heard this, and then introduced his father to Lan Yu, of course Li Zhu also knew each other, and immediately saluted very respectfully, and Lan Yu also returned the salute very politely.

"Which one are you playing?" Lan Yu then pointed to the Li clan who were still kneeling on the ground, and the chaotic ancestral hall behind Li Jie and asked.

"Ahem, it's all trivial, I don't know why the general came here?" Li Jie was also embarrassed to tell others about the bad things in the family, so he had to vaguely ask the reason why Lan Yu appeared here, even if Lan Yu went back to his hometown to visit relatives, he shouldn't appear in Wufeng Village?

"What else can I do here, of course I'm here to worship Gong Li!" Lan Yu said and pointed behind him, and the subordinates behind him also carried a lot of sacrifices for worship.

Li Jie and Li Zhu were all stunned when they heard Lan Yu's words, and even both of them wondered if they had heard it wrong? You must know that Li Shanchang was appointed by Lao Zhu for the crime of rebellion, even if Li Shanchang is dead now, there are still many people who avoid it, and even from Li Shanchang's death to the present, except for Li Jie's family, no one else has ever blatantly come to worship Li Shanchang.

"General, you're not kidding, are you?" Li Jie also asked in a deep voice with a serious face at this time.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Lan Yu asked rhetorically.

Li Jie was also a little confused at this time, although Lan Yu's personality was very bad, it could be said that he was extremely arrogant and domineering, but his current appearance was indeed not like a joke, on the contrary, when Lan Yu mentioned worship, there was a sad look in his eyes, which was absolutely not fake.

"Let's go, take me to the Li Cemetery to pay respects!" Lan Yu instructed Li Jie again.

Seeing Lan Yu so insistent, Li Jie had no choice but to agree, Li Zhu was also a little worried, and wanted to follow along, but was persuaded by Li Jie, and then took Lan Yu to the cemetery on the mountain again.

Lan Yu was very silent along the way, and it wasn't until Li Jie finally took him to Li Shanchang's cemetery outside the cemetery that he understood the reason why Li Jie made a big fuss about the Li clan ancestral hall just now, but Lan Yu only smiled slightly, he was a military general, he didn't care about life and death, and he didn't care where he was buried, of course, he could understand Li Jie's approach.

Lan Yu took out the sacrifices he brought, and then personally worshiped Li Shanchang, he did the whole process himself, and did not let anyone interfere, until the final worship was completed, he stood in front of Li Shanchang's tomb and was silent for a long time.

"I think my grandfather would be very happy to have someone come to visit!" Li Jie walked to Lan Yu's side at this time and whispered, from Lan Yu's actions just now, Li Jie had already determined that the other party was really just coming to worship.

"Do you want to ask me why I took the risk to come and worship your grandfather?" Unexpectedly, Lan Yu suddenly took the initiative to ask, this question is indeed what Li Jie wants to ask very much.

"The general is willing to say?" Li Jie turned his head and asked.

"Actually, there's nothing to say!" I saw Lan Yu sigh again, "I know that many people say that I am arrogant behind my back, and I also admit that I am not easy to get along with, but I, Lan Yu, am a person who knows how to repay my kindness!" ”

Lan Yu paused when he said this, and then said: "Twenty years ago, not long after my brother-in-law died, I made a big mistake in the army, and many people fell into the trap at that time, wanting His Majesty to execute me, fortunately, at that time, Li Gong said a few fair words for me, which saved me from punishment, I have always remembered this kindness, although I can't save the lives of Li Gong's family, but I should come to worship!" ”

Li Jie also felt a sense of embarrassment when he heard Lan Yu's words, Li Shanchang was the first hero by Lao Zhu's side, known as his protégé all over the world, and he had the grace of reinvention for many people, but after he fell, everyone avoided it, and Lan Yu was able to remember it because of Li Shanchang's few fair words back then, which made Li Jie also have some changes in him.

"Let's go, I believe that Li Gong's grievances will be revealed one day!" Lan Yu suddenly spoke again, and after speaking, he turned around and left here.

Li Jie didn't show a surprised expression when he heard this, in fact, everyone in the court knew that Li Shanchang was wronged, and even Lao Zhu himself knew that although Li Shanchang was greedy for power, Hu Weiyong was also picked up by him, but to say that Li Shanchang intended to rebel is simply nonsense.

In addition, Li Jie also knew that just a few months later, the Ministry of Industry Langzhong Kingdom would write a letter to Li Shanchang's death, and even said that Li Shanchang "went out of ten thousand deaths to win the world, the lord was the first, the prince was born, the king was crowned by death, the princess of the male monk, the relatives worshipped the officials, and the distinction between people and ministers was extreme", and there was no reason for rebellion at all for the courtiers to do this.

Wang Guoyong once received the favor of Li Shanchang, and he also had the heart of death when he went to the book, and it is even said that when he sent this recital, he even prepared the coffin, even if he died, he would repay Li Shanchang's kindness, but he didn't expect Lao Zhu to read this "rebellious" recital, and he didn't say anything about it, let alone blame Wang Guoyong for it, and he completely acquiesced to his statement.

Thinking of this, Li Jie looked at Li Shanchang's tombstone in front of him again, and finally couldn't help sighing, and then turned around to follow Lan Yu's footsteps. Li Shanchang is gone, but Lan Yu is still there, and he is likely to follow Li Shanchang's old path.

Li Jie didn't like Lan Yu very much, and he had been deliberately keeping a distance from the other party before, just for fear that the other party would be unlucky and implicate himself in the future, but today Li Jie was a little hesitant, I don't know if I should persuade Lan Yu to restrain his personality, so as not to end up dead in the future?

"Do you have something on your mind?" However, without waiting for Li Jie to speak, Lan Yu was the first to see Li Jie's thoughts.

"It's a little bit!" Li Jie thought for a while and said again, "I'm thinking that my grandfather is known as the first hero of the Ming Dynasty, but in the end he still ended up like this, so it seems that I will have to be more restrained in the future, so as not to follow my grandfather's old path!" ”

Li Jie didn't say it explicitly, but he looked at Lan Yu when he spoke, with Lan Yu's cleverness, of course, he immediately understood what he meant, but he waved his hand indifferently and said: "You people like to beat around the bush when you talk, I know what you mean, but Lao Tzu doesn't care, in life, if you can't be chic and happy, then what's the point of living?" ”

Li Jie also smiled helplessly when he heard this, what he was most worried about was encountering this situation, Li Shanchang was like this at the beginning, and so was Lan Yu.

But think about it carefully, Lan Yu and Li Shanchang are still different, Li Shanchang is stubborn and unwilling to listen to Li Jie's persuasion, while Lan Yu is just willful, maybe he knows that there will be no good end if it goes on like this, but he is unwilling to change himself because of this, in the eyes of others, Lan Yu's approach is very unwise, but he himself does not think so.

Thinking of this, Li Jie could only sigh secretly, he couldn't say that Lan Yu's attitude towards life was wrong, and the words had already been said, and the other party didn't want to listen to him, not to mention that he and Lan Yu didn't have a deep friendship in the first place, and sometimes it might not be a good thing to have a shallow relationship.

Sent away the blue jade, Li Jie picked up Li Zhu and went home, two days later he came to Wufengzhuang again, the tombs of Li Shanchang and others have been enclosed in the cemetery, and the ancestral hall has also added the tablets of Li Shanchang and others.

Compared with the last time, this time Li Cunren and others also tried their best to tie up Li Jie, for fear that he would mention the words of taking back the land again. In fact, Li Jie also knew that after he made a big fuss in the ancestral hall that day, Li Cunren and these people had complained to the Huang County Order, but they not only ignored them, but also quietly told Li Jie anyway.

If it weren't for Li Jie's lack of time, he would definitely clean up Li Cunren and the others, but Zhu Biao's side was about to leave, and Lan Yu went back to prepare yesterday, so he also had to go back to Fengyang this afternoon, and he really didn't have time to entangle Li Cunren and these people, and Li Zhu didn't want to really fall out with the clansmen, so Li Jie could only let them go for the time being.

In the afternoon, Li Jie left with the bags prepared by Mrs. Li herself, Li Zhu and his wife also sent Li Jie outside the city gate, Di'er hugged Li Jie and cried, no matter what she said, she refused to let go, and was finally forcibly taken away by Aunt Zhao.

Li Jie was also very reluctant to wave goodbye to his family, and finally when he rode a horse and walked far away, he could still see his parents and family standing on the side of the road when he turned back, which made Li Jie also feel a sour nose and tears almost fell out.

When Li Jie rode back to Fengyang, it was not early, he went into the city to meet Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao also asked him about his visit to relatives, Li Jie also answered one by one, it is estimated that Zhu Biao also saw that Li Jie was in a bad mood, so he quickly let him go back to rest.

Early the next morning, Zhu Biao led the team to set off again, and their next destination was Kaifeng City, known as the "ancient capital of the Eight Dynasties", and only when they arrived there would they stay for a while.
