Chapter 34: Stalking (Part II)

Twelve laps, a distance of more than 7,000 meters is really not easy, at least for Li Xian himself, it can be described as an unprecedented feat, tired is undoubtedly a thing, but just like that, he has not been able to worship the master, in the eyes of others, it is disturbing enough, but Li Xian himself does not care at all, not only does not care, but there is a faint excitement, just because Li Xian heard an important secret from the mouth of the old man Su - Li Boyao is the only person in the Li family who has obtained the inheritance of Li Jing's art of war.

Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, was praised by Gaozong as one of the top ten famous generals throughout the ages, and Sun Wu, Bai Qi and other ancient famous generals, his body is unusual and comparable, there are not a few famous generals in the early Tang Dynasty, among them, in addition to Su Dingfang's half of the disciples, there are also Hou Junji, Xue Wanche and other famous generals who were punished for rebellion, but they have not been able to get the true biography of Li Jing, as for Li Jing's two sons Li Deqian and Li Dejiang, not to mention the martial arts strategy, they will abandon martial arts at all, It can be seen that Li Jing's prudence in the inheritance of martial arts - Li Jing's ancestors all believed in Buddhism, but he believed in Taoism, and Taoism has a cloud: three generations of generals is a taboo, and the art of war must be passed on to the world, but it is forbidden to pass it on indiscriminately, and only to be destined for people.

Obviously, Li Boyao is the person who is destined, in this sense, if you can worship Li Boyao as a teacher, then there is hope to pass on the "Art of War", then the scenery is enough for Li Xian to drool just thinking about it, it goes without saying that he is excited, no matter how tired he is, of course, he said so, but he is tired, but he is really tired, poor Li Xian has never tossed so much in his life, his small body and bones are about to fall apart, and he will rest as soon as he returns home, and he has slept until the sun is three poles and refuses to get up, let Yan Hong and other maids call, Li Xian just couldn't get out of the bed, and completely forgot that he asked to get up early before going to bed, seeing that it was not a way to go on like this, Yan Hong and the others, who were red-eyed, finally sacrificed a big killing weapon.

"Humph, haha, hey......"

Li Xian was sleeping in a daze, a sense of something wrong suddenly hit, vaguely felt itchy nostrils, his face hurt, and there was an inexplicable sound in his ears, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, he opened his eyes angrily, and just about to have a seizure, he saw a pair of big eyes like black grapes looking at him curiously, and the anger in his heart disappeared immediately, he didn't say it, who dared to entertain Li Xian like this, except for Shangguan Wan'er, who else could Li Xian, Li Xian was helpless, and could only smile bitterly, Stretched out his hand from the quilt and tried to hold the little girl away.

"Woo, hee-hee......"

The little girl grabbed Li Xian's face and seemed to be addicted, and she was picking her nose and cochlea to have a good time, this time she saw that Li Xian was going to hug her, she was very unhappy, twisted her little body, and made a vague protest sound, which made Li Xian useless, and she didn't dare to use force, so she had to let the little girl wreak havoc on her face indiscriminately, her face was so bitter that she wrinkled into a ball, and the helpless look made Yan Hong and other maids all laugh so hard that their waists couldn't stand up.

This group of dead girls, they should be beaten! Knowing that he was being tricked by a group of maids, but Li Xian was angry and couldn't come out, who let him spoil Shangguan Wan'er, helplessly, he had to roll his eyes, and said angrily: "Yanhong, Wan'er is hungry, why don't you hurry up and send the Lin family's lady to the place, hurry up." ”

"Your Highness, what time has it been, Wan'er has already eaten enough, but His Royal Highness still has to go to the Weiguo Mansion, I'm afraid it's too late to eat." Yan Hong has served Li Xian for a long time, how could she not know that Li Xian was looking for a reason indiscriminately, so she laughed and joked Li Xian, but ridicule is ridicule, Yan Hong's subordinates are not slow, they walked to the couch with a smile, and hugged Wan'er alive with coaxing.

Ah, damn it, I almost missed a big thing! Li Xian remembered the agreement with Li Boyao yesterday, he was in a hurry, he couldn't take care of much, he lifted the quilt, turned over, and hurriedly wanted to stay, but he never thought that the soreness from running in circles yesterday had not disappeared.

"Hurry, hurry, change clothes for Lone, pass Gao Miao to prepare the car, and Lone will set off!" Although it hurt so much that he fell on his stomach, Li Xian, who was concerned about his apprentice, couldn't take care of it, so he just sat on the ground and gave orders one after another.

Li Xian was so anxious that he went crazy, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to the Weiguo Mansion immediately, but the maids refused to ignore the matter, and forced Li Xian to change his clothes, bathe, and take out enough breakfast, and then let him go, and when he arrived at the Weiguo Mansion outside the southern city, it was almost noon.

"What, sick?"

Li Xian waited outside the gate of the Weiguo Mansion for a long time, and only got a sentence from the mouthful of the porter who went to pay homage - Wei Guogong Li Deqian is sick, and he will not be a guest, such far-fetched reasons can make Li Xian angry, his eyes glared, and he glared at the panicked Li Mansion steward, and snorted coldly.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the head of the family suddenly felt unwell last night, and he was bedridden early this morning, Lang Zhong came to see it, saying that it was overworked, and it was better to be quiet and not to move, and asked His Royal Highness Haihan to be one." In the face of Li Xian's anger, although the housekeeper of the Li Mansion was a little flustered, he did not mean to change his words, and replied with a smile and an apologetic face.

I'm going to go, I'm not sick sooner or later, but I'm sick at this juncture, liar! Li Xian is such a shrewd person, how can he believe the nonsense of the manager, but he understands that Li Xian can't expose it in person, and he has no choice but to retreat, so he frowned and glanced at the manager, and said coldly: "Since Li Shaojiang is sick, it is not easy to disturb Lonely, so it should be okay to see Li Sijie alone, huh?" ”

"If you go back to Your Highness, you came unfortunately, yesterday the second master came to the letter, saying that the second grandmother was sick, and the third young master rushed to Longzhou yesterday, and it will take a few days to return." The steward of the Li Mansion laughed and gave an even more bizarre explanation.

Okay, let's play the trick of avoiding Lao Tzu, yes, it's not so convenient, we don't believe that we can run the monk, and we can run the temple? As soon as Li Xian heard this, he was so angry that he laughed, but he didn't bother to see it like a subordinate, his eyes rolled, and he already had an idea in his heart, so he laughed and said: "I see, it's all because Xiao Wang came to Meng Lang and disturbed it." As soon as the words fell, he didn't care what the reaction of the steward was, turned his head and walked towards the carriage, and when he entered the carriage, he ordered in a cold voice: "Enter the palace!" ”

Gaozong's health has always been bad, after getting wind vertigo in the past few years, it is getting worse, every day after noon, he will be sleepy, a sleep will sleep for an hour before getting up, if he is disturbed in the middle of the sleep, that will be in good spirits for a few days, most of the important ministers in the court know this, since no one dares to disturb Gaozong's good sleep during this period, Li Xian is of course no exception, but when he returned from the Weiguo Mansion, he forgot about this matter, and it was not until he hurriedly rushed to the front of Chengtian Gate that he remembered, Poor Li Xian had to resist the impulse to meet him, but he waited in the carriage for more than half an hour, estimating that Gaozong should have risen, so he hurriedly handed over the sign, and within a few moments, a little eunuch came to announce that Li Xian had come to the Wude Hall to meet him.

"Son-in-law, see father."

Li Xiangang and his entourage entered the apse of the Wude Palace, and when they saw Gaozong sitting on the couch with a pale face, he hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully bowed and worshipped.

"Xian'er is here, just calm down, what's the matter?"

Gaozong's wind vertigo had just a small attack, and his complexion was very bad at this time, but as soon as he saw Li Xian arrive, a kind smile still appeared on his haggard face, and he raised his hand to signal Li Xian to be flat.

"Father, the child is not very important, just come to say goodbye to An'er, father, your dragon body is important, the child is ......" Li Xian handed the sign and did not know that Gaozong's wind dizziness had attacked again, and he had to ask the little eunuch who came to proclaim the message, only to learn the inside story, he didn't want to bother Gaozong with the matter of apprenticeship at this time, but the oracle had arrived, and he had to enter the palace to face the saint, and at this time he saw Gaozong's face as white as paper, and his heart was very uneasy. It can only be pushed back for a while, and there is no rush to leave this matter in a hurry.

"Silly boy, I've not been sick for a day or two, it doesn't matter, anyway, what do you want me to help with?" Gaozong was a little cowardly, but he was not very confused, as soon as he heard Li Xian's words, he knew that he had something to hide, so he couldn't help laughing, waved his hand, interrupted Li Xian's words, and asked directly.

"The father is wise, the child does not dare to deceive the father, yesterday the child has been to Zuo Xiaowei, the old general of Mengsu is wrongly loved, so that the child has the opportunity to watch the generals perform martial arts, which is wonderful and really makes the eyes of the sons and daughters, I can have so many strong generals and famous marshals in the Tang Dynasty, it is really fortunate, the child is excited, and the heart of the martial arts is more keen, and I see that there is a general, named Li Boyao, the martial arts are outstanding, the child is fascinated, and wants to worship him as a teacher, but unexpectedly this person is after the Duke of Wei, the child is incompetent, today he is in his house, but he is not allowed to enter the door, I had to plead with my father with a straight face. Li Xian felt Gaozong's strong feeling of licking calves, and his heart was warm, and the words came out, telling the general story of the matter one by one.

"After Wei Gong? It's not easy to do this, hmm, how do you want to do it? ”

Li Xian's apprenticeship to Zuo Xiaowei is not big, but it can be said that it is small but not small, as soon as yesterday's incident came out, someone reported the whole situation to Gaozong, for the result of Li Xian's encounter, Gaozong had already expected a few points, but Gaozong, who loved his son, was not too worried, in his opinion, all the problems were just a holy decree.

"Father, although Li Boyao is only a six-grade petty official at the moment, but he is a famous family, according to the child's opinion, if he is strong, it will not be beautiful, the child does not dare to ask his father to make a decree, but he asks his father to give his son a will, so that his son can enter the Li Mansion in the name of rewarding Wei Gong, and the rest of the children can do it themselves." Li Xian had a comprehensive plan before entering the palace, and when he heard Gaozong's question, he answered quickly.

"Oh? Is that enough? Gaozong originally planned to issue an edict to directly make Li Boyao Li Xian's teacher, but he never expected that Li Xian would just ask for a reward edict, so he couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Li Xian suspiciously, and asked suspiciously.

"The child really doesn't dare to lie to his father, that's enough." Li Xian didn't intend to use coercion, so as not to backfire, as for how to persuade the Li family father and son, Li Xian had his own measure, so he replied proudly.

"Well, if that's the case, I will give this edict." Gaozong's heart was not too willing to use force on the heroes, and when he saw that Li Xian was full of confidence, he would not insist more, and he groaned for a while, so he agreed to Li Xian's request.

It's done, hey, this time look at the Li family's father and son, what else can be blamed! As soon as Li Xian heard that Gaozong had agreed to his request, the corners of his mouth curled, and he smiled with a hint of excitement......
