Chapter Twenty-Four: Li Wen Pretending to Cry
Huzi nodded.
An old beggar said in an old voice, "It's dead, and I've just been delivered to my doorstep." β
Xu Wen said, no wonder Huzi and they were so strong just now, it turned out that Li Wen's brother died. In this way, the biggest backer of the Li family has fallen, and they will have nothing to be arrogant about in the future. On the contrary, I still pay attention to the former enemies, whether they will take the opportunity to retaliate against them.
This is the way of the world, the law of the jungle.
You have the ability and backing, so others respect you for three points and dare not go against you. But once you have no backer, it's unpredictable.
The diners who had eaten in the inn covered their mouths and noses because of the large crowd of beggars who had come in, and after paying the money, they took their food and left in a hurry.
Xu Wen made two large tables of dishes to entertain these beggars who had just helped him.
He had never thought that these beggars would be able to help her out of kindness. But now, he felt that there was nothing wrong with these beggars, and maybe he would need their help in the future.
Xiaoqing stood beside Xu Wen and said apologetically: "Engong, I caused you trouble, I deserve to die." β
"What the hell?" Xu Wen glanced at Xiaoqing while stir-frying, and continued to stir-fry the stir-fried bullwhip in his hand.
Xiaoqing lowered her head.
Xu Wen continued: "You didn't cause me trouble, and there is nothing wrong with you. If you meet someone like Li Wen in the future, you can just ignore him. β
After speaking, Xu Wen took a small bowl, made a bowl of white porridge and handed it to Xiaoqing, "Your brother has not recovered from his injury yet, so he can only eat light, you can send it to him." β
Xiaoqing carefully took the white porridge, raised her hand and wiped her eyes.
Xu Wen glanced at it, "Hey, what are you crying about." β
Xiaoqing wiped her tears and said, "Since I left my hometown, no one has treated me like Engong. β
The most unsightly thing for Xu Wen is that the woman is crying, he looked at Xiaoqing and said gently: "Okay, don't cry, don't you have nothing to do now?" Hurry up and bring food to your brother. β
Xiaoqing nodded.
β¦β¦
The Li family's house.
"Brother!"
"Brother!" Li Wensheng burst into tears!
In the courtyard of the house, there are two corpses wrapped in straw mats.
Because of the cold weather, although he had been dead for a few days, the body still did not stink.
Li Wen's tears fell to the ground.
Li Wen pretended to cry but was an expert, and when he was a child, he used crying to win sympathy, and he could get delicious food every day. In fact, he was so happy that he was dying, his only brother was gone, and no one would fight with him for family property in the future, and the entire Li family's property would belong to him alone.
An envoy stood behind him, then looked at the elderly head of the Li family, and said, "General Chen asked me to bring you a message, saying that after you take care of the aftermath, let Li Wen go to the shogunate to see him." β
General Chen!
That was Li Qing's teacher in the army.
Chen Xingrong, a general under LΓΌ Buwei, followed LΓΌ Buwei from birth to death for many years, and his prestige in the army was extremely high!
"How can we delay such a major matter as going to see General Chen. Xiaowen, you bathe and change your clothes now, and follow this adult to see General Chen! The old head of the Li family hurriedly said, and then looked at the housekeeper beside him.
The butler nodded, walked towards the envoy, and secretly stuffed a bunch of money for the envoy, "Trouble my lord, send my son's body back." β
The envoy accepted it with a smile and said solemnly: "Li Baiwei was born and died in the Qin State, this is my duty." Originally, General Li Bai was about to be promoted, but who would have thought that he was actually attacked by the scouts of Zhao State......"
Old Man Li wiped his tears and looked at Li Wen again, "Xiaowen, hurry up and prepare, although this adult is going to see General Chen." β
Li Wen wiped his tears, looked at his brother on the ground with a heartbroken face, and stood up in a choked voice.
β¦β¦
Under the leadership of the envoys, Li Wen came to the Chen Xingrong shogunate in the east of the city.
Magnificent and majestic.
Their Li family's mansion, compared to such a general's mansion, is simply a cloud and mud difference.
Chen Xingrong is just over 100 this year, and he has a son under his knees, but it is a pity that he will only be able to enjoy the wind and snow, plus his body is weak, and he is born sick, so he has not inherited his mantle. He sighed, hoping only to find someone who could replace his son and solve his problems.
Li Qing is what he took a fancy to some time ago.
Just accepted as a righteous son, and when he was about to promote him, he was suddenly killed by Zhao Guo's spies. Naturally, he caught those spies and cut them with a thousand knives.
But it is also difficult to understand the hatred in his heart.
Such a good talent actually died like that.
"Grass people Li Wen, I've seen General Chen." As soon as Li Wen saw Chen Xingrong, who was over 50 years old but was full of energy and was not angry and arrogant, he knelt on the ground with a sincere attitude.
"You are Li Qing's younger brother Li Wen?" Chen Xingrong asked.
Li Wen nodded and wiped a handful of tears, "Back to the general, yes, Li Qing is my only brother." β
"Ugh." Chen Xingrong sighed and said, "It's a pity that he died." I just accepted him as my adopted son, and before the news reached your Li family, it was already yin and yang. He died in the army at a young age, and before he died, I promised him that I would take care of you for him. If there is anything in the future, you can come to me. β
"Thanks, General Xie!" Li Wen was prostrate on the ground.
Li Wen's eyes were cold.
thought that after his brother Li Qing died, he would not be able to find that group of stinky beggars to take revenge on Xu Wen. Who would have thought that Li Qing died, but brought him a more powerful General Chen.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was very happy.
Fortunately, Li Qing died.
Otherwise, with his identity as Chen Xingrong's son, the position of the head of the Li family in the future will definitely fall into his hands.
Li Qing.
You are not unjustly dead, if you die, I, Li Wen, will replace you and enjoy the glory and wealth that should belong to you.
As for Xu Wen.
You wait for me, this revenge will not be avenged, it is not a gentleman.
Master, I must let you taste the taste of cutting off children and grandchildren!
β¦β¦
In the inn, Xu Wen looked at these righteous beggars and thought, why don't you let them mix with him? Sooner or later, he will help King Qin dominate the world, and it is right to train a few people in advance.
However, they are beggars.
It's not that he looks down on their identity, it's just that if these beggars are born and die with him, will these beggars agree?
Think about it or forget it.
They can help with ordinary trivial things, but if you want them to follow them to the death, forget it.
How is this possible!
Xu Wen thought about it, sat down towards Huzi, and said with a smile: "Huzi, do you know how many beggars there are in this Xianyang City?" β
Huzi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I don't know, but there should be quite a lot, I'm uneducated, more than the number of hands, I can't count them." β
