Chapter 2 Master, let's get dirty
It's a good idea to ask directly...... Master and apprentice plus son-in-law, the relationship between the two is iron.
"Master, the apprentice has come to say goodbye." , In the study of Li Xian's mansion, the oil lamp is dim, and it is three watches, and he is still staying up late.
"Ran'er, are you, come in."
The official dialect of northern Shaanxi sounds quite emotional.
When I opened the door, I immediately saw a tall middle-aged man pacing back and forth in the room.
The posture of the dragon and phoenix does have an inner taste...... The eyebrows are thoughtful, quite majestic, and the gestures are half extravagant and half chic, just with this bearing, ordinary people can't imitate it in their lives.
"Ran'er, you have just recovered from a serious illness, you don't have to work so hard, you can save the morning and dusk."
"Yes, master."
Li Ran happily agreed, after all, he didn't like to kowtow to others every day, which was exactly what he wanted.
At the same time, the doubts in his heart were gone, judging from Li Xian's faction, he did not know about the poisoning incident, and it was all done by Webster alone.
"You take care of it, and when you get better, I'll teach you your homework." , Li Xian was preoccupied, obviously had no intention of chatting.
On his desk, there was an official document, Li Ran's eyes were sharp, and when he saw that the seal of Dali Temple was stamped on it, he suddenly realized a little.
“…… The master is worried about Pei Donglai? ”
"Huh? How do you know? Li Xian asked in surprise, did not hide his thoughts, and bowed slightly, "Yes, this year, it is the third time." ”
He was placed under house arrest in Fangling, and Wu Zetian would regularly send people to investigate the situation, which was extremely frequent in the first few years, and later got much better, but this year, the number of inspections has become more and more.
This is never a good sign!
The more times it takes, the more Wu Zetian remembers that she still has a son who is under house arrest, and this son is still surnamed Li ...... Over the years, the royal family surnamed Li has been killed by her.
Moreover, the envoy who used to investigate was the palace guard, but this year, it was the official of Dali Temple!
Dali Temple, which is the power to inspect crimes, has excavated several cases of royal rebellion in recent years...... As for whether it is a rebellion, that's what the government notice says anyway.
Therefore, Li Xian felt that panic was inevitable, the sword in his mother's hand, and the wandering son's body split, then Wu Zetian was not without a history of killing his son.
"Master, if you don't keep your eyes on it." , Li Ran sighed, his arms couldn't twist his thighs, the Wu clan was in power, they couldn't afford to provoke it, and they could afford to hide.
"Alas, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop...... Well, why are you talking about it all of a sudden? ”
Li Xian suddenly felt that something was wrong, this disciple in the past didn't have such a bright head.
"Uh...... After a serious illness, I only felt that I had been empowered, as if I had opened the second pulse of Rendu, and I looked at the problem more essentially than before, well, that's it. ”
It's a good excuse to blame metaphysics for split personality, anyway, the ancients believed in ghosts and gods.
"I see! There was an ancient day when you became enlightened, and it seems that this is your situation, very good, very good. Li Xian was sincerely happy, which made Li Ran a little embarrassed, after all, deceiving people is not a good thing worth showing off, and said abruptly, "Master, let's talk about business...... To tell the truth, Taoguang is a good way. ”
"Alas, I have done this a long time ago, in the past few years, I have hardly gone out, nor have I met with any courtiers, but unfortunately the queen mother is still ......"
"Because of the master, after all, he is still the king of Luling."
From the perspective of a bystander, Li Ran understands Wu Zetian's mind very well.
If she wants to clear the way for the Wu clan to inherit the throne, she must kill other competitors, especially the royal family surnamed Li, even if Li Xian is a ninja turtle and retracts into the sewer, it will be in the name of the king.
Li Xian didn't want to rebel, and those who were making trouble at the bottom would rebel in the name of King Li Xian Luling in order to justify his name.
"Master, if Taoguang can't keep quiet, let's take a little more fierce medicine...... Simply, defile yourself. ”
"Self-defilement?" Obviously, this word is a bit over-the-top for Li Xian.
"Yes, Pei Donglai stays in Luling and doesn't leave, he must use a small book to record your daily life of the master, and then find the crime that may be deducted and report it to Emperor Wu, Emperor Wu has a good name and cleans up the master you, so, the more cautious you are, the more Pei Donglai will feel that there is something to dig up, on the other hand, if the master is full of slots, he will feel that there is no nutrition when he remembers it?"
It's a fresh and refined idea, Li Xian is irrefutable, but he instinctively feels that this is nonsense.
"Ahem, master, I am your apprentice and son-in-law, you were punished, according to the court regulations, my life doesn't seem to be saved, so, please give me a reason to mess up?"
Li Ran spread his hands and said that he still wanted to live a few more years and have a few babies with Xian Hui'er to live a leisurely life as a horse master.
“…… Okay, depending on you. Li Xian hesitated for a moment, and happily agreed, his ears were soft, sometimes it was really a good quality.
Early the next morning, on the Luling Palace, the strong aroma of barbecue was about to come out, and the children passing by outside the mansion cried directly!
"What is this?" , Li Xian, who was dressed in a medium coat, looked at the strange iron shelves in the yard and forgot to go to the toilet.
"BBQ, or BBQ for short! I got up on the fourth watch, went to the market and cut the best lean pork, cultivated hot carbon, and got a little clear oil, is it easy for me...... Come, Xian Hui'er, taste the taste, beware of burning your mouth. ”
Squatting on the side, there are also two little gluttonous cats, Li Xianhui and Li Bao'er, who almost fought for the first piece of meat.
"Da Lang, you are so amazing!" , Li Xianhui was full of starry eyes, "One more piece." ”
"What kind of body does a girl's mouth have when they are full of meat? I don't want to take your sister into the house yet. Li Xian was angry and felt that he had raised a female man.
"Eating more meat helps development, as well as improving resistance, what is the nutrition of drinking porridge and eating pickles early in the morning." , glanced at Li Xianhui's chest, Xiaohe showed sharp corners, it was the critical period, and he had to make up for it.
“…… Master, you can taste it too. The figure shook slightly, Li Ran took the initiative to hand over a piece of roasted brown and ripe, and pouted slightly in the direction of the roof.
Li Xian glanced at it, saw the figure flashing, hesitated for a moment and took it, and immediately his eyes lit up after chewing a few bites.
“…… Delicious! ”
"Of course, apprentices are well-known in the amateur barbecue world, and it's boring to just eat meat and not drink, or will apprentice accompany you for two cups?"
“…… Let's make two cups. ”
He drank and talked until noon, and the figure on the roof did not leave until noon, and finally, he wrote down a line of large letters in his notebook.
"Overeating is against the way of eating, but the barbecue is really delicious."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xian, who was studying calligraphy in the study, was so noisy that goosebumps rose.
“…… What are you doing? Rushing to the yard angrily, he found that Li Ran was sawing wood, wearing breeches, shirtless, Xian Hui'er was so ashamed that she closed her eyes, but what did it mean to divide her fingers?
"Master, it's just in time, let's see how good this hammock is?"
Li Ran put down the saw and pointed to the dense kudzu cloth and fishing line fixed between the two poplar trees in the courtyard with thick wood, "Don't worry, Xian Hui'er has already slept and is strong." ”
