On this day, nine out of ten people in Ning County gathered on the street, in fact, they may not know who Zhou Li is, but as soon as they heard that it was the return of the capital's officials, they gathered together excitedly as if they had been beaten and chattered, but most of the topics discussed were how much gold and silver Zhou Li would bring back, which made Lin Xuan feel bored.

Finally, when it was close to noon, a team of people and horses came from the gate of the city, and for a while, gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers rang out, and the surroundings became noisy, originally Lin Xuan's position was excellent, but at this moment, his vision was blocked by the crowd, and he couldn't see the situation in front of him at all.

"Wow, that's a lot of wagons!" A man looked at the huge team of horses in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"yes, how much money does that have to be?" One person responded, as the carriages were filled with huge wooden crates, which made the people around them blush.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan suddenly lost interest in meeting Zhou Li, since he was a child, Li Zi taught him that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and with Zhou Li's official position, it is impossible to have so many things unless he is corrupt and takes bribes.

"I saw Master Zhou"

"What nonsense, that's Lord Zhou's servant"

"That must be Lord Zhou, really extraordinary"

……

Lin Xuan was a little puzzled, if this person really had a bad character, then even if he was talented, he didn't want to worship his disciples.

The Li family, now only Lin Yi is left, originally Li Zi wanted to stay with her, but she knew that her husband definitely wanted to see Zhou Li, so she pushed him out, and she didn't have to give birth immediately, so she didn't have to be so nervous.

Just then, a man walked in the doorway.

"Who?" Lin Yi immediately asked vigilantly, and she knew that she was a master when she heard the footsteps of this person.

"Long time no see, Xiaoyi" Yingtao looked at the woman in front of him who was pregnant with Liujia, and his eyes immediately moistened.

Lin Yi was stunned when she heard this person's address to her, she hadn't heard the nickname "Xiaoyi" for many years, this was what everyone called her when she was in the Lin Mansion.

"Are you ......" Lin Yi tried to think about the information about the person in front of her in her brain.

"Liu Tao, Brother Liu" Lin Yi finally remembered the identity of the person in front of her, and her eyes were red in an instant.

"Won't you ask me to sit down?" Yingtao listened to Lin Yi's name for himself, and he was also very emotional, how many years later, even he had to forget that his original surname was Liu, but later he used a pseudonym when he went to the cottage, which was nine years.

"Come in," Lin Yi immediately beckoned.

Yingtao smiled and looked at Lin Yi's residence, although it was simple, it could be seen that it was very warm.

"Where have you been all these years?" Lin Yi asked as Yingtao brought the brewed tea.

"My name is Yingtao now" Yingtao simply said his current name.

Lin Yi looked at Yingtao in surprise, she may not know what Liu Tao has been doing all these years, but who doesn't know Yingtao's name near Ning County?

"I didn't expect you to be around here all these years" Lin Yi didn't think there was anything bad about Yingtao being a bandit, but she just sighed a little that the old people of Qingcheng were around here, but she never saw them.

"By the way, how did you know I was here?" Lin Yi was a little curious.

"A few days ago, the young master and Xun Zhi came to me, so I tracked you down," Yingtao did not hide this, and now that he saw Lin Yi, he concluded Lin Xuan's identity.

Lin Yi was a little evasive, even if it was an old person back then, as long as Lin Xuan was involved, she would be wary.

"Don't worry, the young master doesn't know my identity, and I don't want to disturb your current life" Yingtao came here purely to see the old man, as for Lin Xuan, he didn't think of what to do.

"I don't want to tell him about Qingcheng, after all, hatred is easy to distort, not to mention that he is still underage," Lin Yi directly told Yingtao about his decision, so as not to cause him unnecessary incidents again.

"Also, revenge is up to us retainers to do, the young master should live a normal life" Yingtao also supported Lin Yi's choice, but revealed hatred between his words.

"Their strength is so huge, I think ......" Lin Yi was a little worried.

"I don't care, anyway, Hutou Mountain has always been a thorn in the eye of Daqi, and the thorn in the flesh will be pulled out sooner or later, so why don't I use this time to plan well, even if it is destroyed, I will make them break their bones," Yingtao said fiercely.

Seeing Yingtao like this, Lin Yi really had no choice, after all, even she was planning revenge.

"It's you, who already have your own family and raised the young master, you should give up that hatred" Even if Lin Yi didn't know what to say, Yingtao could catch the hidden hatred in her eyes, he knew that Lin Yi, who had seen the Battle of Qingcheng with his own eyes, had a hatred in his heart far beyond himself.

Lin Xuan stroked her stomach and smiled, she walked in front of the wordless spiritual seat she had set up and said slowly: "Lin Yi has long died in the battle of Qingcheng, and now he is only alive to raise the young master, the fire of Qingcheng has never been extinguished, it is burning my heart every day, and the blood debt can only be paid with blood."

Only then did Yingtao know Lin Yi's pain and hatred, and he naturally had no right to enlighten if he did not participate in the battle of Qingcheng.

"And what are you going to do?" Yingtao is also worried that Lin Yi will do things recklessly.

"What can I do as a weak woman? It's just a matter of talking," Lin Yi didn't say much.

"This time, I mainly want to see you and let you know that there is my existence, I'm afraid we won't be able to contact frequently in the future" Yingtao's identity is really special, even if he knows Lin Yi's existence, he can only keep it in his heart.

Lin Yi knew that Yingtao was definitely under the surveillance of Daqi, and if he wanted to continue to live his stable life, he had to reduce his contact with him.

"I know," Lin Yi responded.

"But if the young master has something, you must tell me, even if I go to the soup and the fire, I will not hesitate" This is Yingtao's promise, and it is also his loyalty to the Lin family.

"I will" Lin Yi took out her husband's treasured good wine, although she knew that it shouldn't be, but how could such a moment be without it to help the fun.

"How about I make a few appetizers and how many drinks we have?"

"Okay, it's been a long time since I've eaten your cooking, let my brother see how your craftsmanship is"

For a moment, they seemed to be back in Qingcheng, their home.

Lin Xuan didn't expect that he would come back in such a gloomy way when he went out in a hurry, he was already blocked by the bodies of adults and didn't see anything.

"Hahaha, I'm laughing to death" At this time, Zhang Yidao came back.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xuan had a careful eye before, and deliberately asked Zhang Yidao to go to the back kitchen of the mansion in the name of meat, and he must have gained something when he saw his appearance.

"Pour me a glass of water" Zhang Yidao saw that Lin Xuan was so eager, and he also put up the shelf.

Lin Xuan obeyed Zhang Yidao's instructions, poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

"This shoulder is a little sore," Zhang Yidao patted his shoulder again.

"Uncle, then I'll pinch it for you" Lin Xuan knew that Zhang Yidao deliberately manipulated him, so he said in a weird manner, of course, the strength in his hand also increased a little.

"Yo-yo...... You are the master," Zhang Yidao struggled and said, "Today, those squires thought that Master Zhou's carriage was full of precious belongings, so they worked hard to be courteous, but Master Zhou directly told them that the carriage was loaded with books, and then you don't know how wonderful those people's faces were."

Lin Xuan's heart was very excited after hearing this, and the suspicion that had originally bred disappeared in an instant, and he decided that he must worship under Zhou Li's door.

"I know what you're thinking, but at the banquet, there were also squires who proposed to ask their children to worship Master Zhou as a teacher, but they didn't pay attention to it at all" Zhang Yidao was also worried about his friends, looking at the performance at the banquet, Zhou Li had no intention of accepting apprentices at all.

"I will definitely bow to my subordinates" This was Lin Xuan's answer.
