Li Deng, who has always been resolute and resolute, showed a little hesitation at this time. Shen Gui didn't know whether he was hesitating about the tone of words, or whether he should say it or not.

"Li Xiang, if there is anything difficult, you might as well be more direct, after all, with the disparity between you and me, even if you have a handle in private conversations, it is useless."

Li Deng shook his head, smiled bitterly and sighed, and then his whole body relaxed, and the whole person also lay on the back of the chair, and said in a casual chattering tone:

"Shen Gui, do you know why, my Dongyou Li family is obviously rich and rivals the country, and I am actually in charge of the soldiers and horses along the Dongyou Road, but why is I so compromised and willing to pay a large amount of military salary every year to supplement the Yan family?"

Shen Gui shook his head:

"I'm not surprised, and I can understand that. What's more, in my Guo family before, there must be many such voices. ”

"Hey, our Youbei Third Road is different from Beiyan. Beiyan inherited the mantle of Dayan, the most powerful empire on the Huayu continent, with a vast territory, rich products, and profound heritage, which are not comparable to my Youbei Sanlu. And although you were not born twenty years ago, you must also know about the battle of the Eastern Customs, just because of Yue Haishan's three swords, you have cut off all the future luck of the three families of Youbei Yan, Li, and Guo. In the long run, all the flies and dogs we are facing at the moment are just noisy and consuming time. Uncle Yun Song understands this truth, so he can deal with it calmly; And the reason why I am fighting for power is also very simple - Dongyou still has a large family, all waiting for me to feed them mouthful. I, Li Deng, am alone, how many taels of silver do I need for food and clothing? It's not like those moths are pushing it on the countertop......"

Speaking of this, Li Deng's clenched fists hung heavily on the table, and the force of feedback shook the teacup, which was already cold, and the tea in the cup flowed down the edge of the table to the ground.

Shen Gui frowned, did not interrupt Li Deng's off-topic venting, but continued to look at him with plain eyes.

"The men of the Li family have always been very thin, and when it comes to the old man, there is only one woman who is happy under his knees...... Shen Gui, for the sake of this only daughter, the old man forcibly pushed His Majesty's marriage twice in private. The old man is very grateful that you can save the little girl from the horse thief, but her marriage is ......."

Shen Gui suddenly realized, it turned out that Li Deng, the old man, had been going around the big circle to tell himself that his daughter was Li Le'an's girl, and this time he called himself to remind him not to think about wrongdoing. It seems that the misunderstanding between the two has planted a heart disease in Li Deng's heart.

"Stop, stop, I am very sympathetic to your heart of protecting your daughter, but you misunderstood, I saved the order of the concubine, but it just happened to coincide. Besides, I just learned that Li Le'an is your beloved daughter. And the dispute on the street in the river is just a small misunderstanding, and it has been explained clearly. As for which prince to choose as your Li family's son-in-law, it has nothing to do with Shen Gui. ”

Speaking of the back, Shen Gui already brought some anger. Although he didn't know it yet, it was because he saved Li Le'an that Guo Jiaru would decline at this time. But as far as Li Deng's attitude is concerned, Shen Gui has already felt that his dignity has been hurt.

"Xiangye, what you say is for your daughter and family, but to put it bluntly, you just want to use Miss Li's marriage as a rope to tie one more qualified ally to the Li family's chariot. You have always said that you are a businessman, and I don't think it is the fault of a businessman to pursue profit, but please don't do business in the name of love. ”

Under his accusations of yin and yang, Li Deng also broke his years of qi cultivation efforts, and his tone also brought a bit of anger:

"The old man never thought of using his daughter's marriage to make a fuss. If it weren't for that, then the second prince Yan Qinghong and the commander of the Flying Bear Army, Yan Chongwu, which one of them was not a young talent with a deep background? Why should the old man sacrifice his roots? I called you here today just to prevent the little girl from going astray! As for her marriage, as long as she agrees, the old man will definitely grant her wish! ”

Shen Guiyi slapped the table and stood up:

"Li Deng, you are happy to say this. Do you and I don't know what you're thinking? The Flying Bear Army in Yan Chongwu's hands is the forbidden body of Emperor Xuande, if you marry your daughter to him, how many days can you see how many days the Flying Bear Army can be in charge under your good son-in-law? At that time, he will just be a relative of the Yan family, what can this identity do to your Li family? Besides, Yan Qinghong is just a second prince...... Forget it, he's also my friend, so I won't speak ill of him behind his back this time, just go out and inquire yourself. I, Shen Gui, also made a statement today, as far as Li Le'an's pungent appearance is concerned, no one except you takes her as a treasure. Leave. ”

After Shen Gui finished speaking, he walked to the door, and when he kicked in and out of the door, he felt that it was not enjoyable enough, so he turned around and added a few words:

"Even if you are good with me, you have gone astray? Although Lao Tzu is a shabby household, and he wants to eat on the street, if you really take Li Le'an's own wishes as the standard, then how do you know that she will not favor me? ”

Li Deng also stood in the main hall of the study at this time, looked at Shen Gui who was screaming by the door, and smiled contemptuously:

"When my Li family comes out of the mother's womb, they will distinguish between good and bad. With your virtue, if my daughter can take a fancy to you, you will be my father-in-law! ”

Shen Gui sneered and untied the long strip-shaped burden he carried with him, which was the long sword Chunyu that he snatched from Li Le'an's hand.

"Have you seen the virtuous son-in-law? This sword looks familiar, right? Any idea what it's called? A token of love! ”

Shen Gui had a victorious gesture on his face, and he turned around to leave with satisfaction, but found that there was a dumbfounded figure behind him.

"You're back? Have you eaten it? Goodbye. ”

After Shen Gui finished greeting him, he walked out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in three steps and two steps, leaving only Li Le'an, who was stunned at the door of the study.

"This is called a coincidence, and it is really enough to carry it."

Shen Gui walked on the street and muttered to himself in annoyance.

And Li Deng, who was in the prime minister's house, was walking around in the study at this time, and he kept scolding Li Le'an in his mouth:

"Shame on the ancestors! It's humiliating! Bad luck at home! You love beggars, and I don't know if you like the rotten stick or the broken bowl. Did you raise you too rich when you were a child, and you haven't seen that broken thing, and you want to get something fresh? If you are a person who asks for food, then you can't say that you have been ruined by horse thieves? Let me tell you Li Le'an, from today onwards, you will stay at home for me, if you dare to take a step out of the door, I will ...... I'll break one of Li Fu's legs! ”

Li Le'an had just finished taking inventory of medicinal materials from the aphrodisiac shop, and when he entered the house, he saw that all the subordinates were in the front yard, and he felt a little strange, so he walked towards his father's study. As soon as he arrived at the porch of the backyard, he had already heard the quarrel between Shen Gui and his father. I couldn't hear it clearly in the distance, but when I got closer, I was stunned. Although Shen Gui understood every word he said, he didn't know what he was talking about. As soon as Shen Gui left, his father scolded him again, and he didn't even know where to start now.

"Don't be too busy scolding, tell your daughter from beginning to end. Also, why did Shen Gui come to our house? Why did you come here? ”

Putting down Li Le'an, he didn't say anything in front of his father, just saying that after Shen Gui walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he wanted to cross the South Market Street and go in the direction of the inn.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the north exit of South Market Street, I saw two acquaintances.

"Huh? I wanted to look for you again after finishing my business in a few days, but I didn't expect to meet here. It seems that you really can't talk about people behind your back, this retribution came unexpectedly. ”

These two acquaintances Shen Gui both knew. One is the second prince of Beiyou Third Road - Yan Qinghong; And the other is the righteous daughter of the iron armor, the iron lady who was redeemed from the Green Willow Tower.

"What retribution? You didn't give me any news when you returned to Fengjing, and Li'er and I came to you this time. ”

"I thought it was your second son Yan who changed his taste. Looking for me to go to the inn, why are you coming to the South Market? ”
