Guogong Mansion, in the backyard.

Li Yi and Lao Yang sat next to the round stone bench respectively, and Yue'er also sat obediently on the side, without making a sound.

Although Li Yi didn't directly say what he was talking about, Lao Yang knew it in his heart.

Before Li Yi could speak, Lao Yang had already taken the lead and said, "Speaking of which, it was all from twenty years ago. ”

"Twenty years ago?" Li Yi was a little stunned, "It's been so long?" ”

But it was only a slight mutter, and Li Yi didn't say anything more, but waited for Lao Yang to start talking.

"yes!" Lao Yang sighed and smiled.

glanced at Li Yi and Yue'er, and then, Lao Yang Cai said with a wandering face: "In the first year of Sui Renshou, the Turkic Bujia Khan invaded the border, and the old slave was still a forward soldier of the Sui Dynasty at that time. ”

"However, due to the insistence of the main general at that time, all the officers and soldiers of our army were captured by the Turks. In the end, it was the old man who led the army and killed like a god of war and rescued the old slave and others from the Turks. ”

After a pause, Lao Yang continued:

Since then, the old slave took the initiative to ask for help, transferred to the master's side, and has been following the master to fight in the east and west. Almost every time, the lord has returned with a big victory! ”

Speaking of this, Lao Yang's face was happy, and it could be seen that he was wandering sincerely.

"Five years later, the old man found a family affair for the old slave, who is the eldest lady of the Zhang family, it can be said that he is a good match, we fell in love with each other as soon as we met, and later, the old slave also had his own child, which is now Xiaoting."

Lao Yang smiled, and his cheeks were filled with the taste of happiness.

But then, he changed his words, sighed, and said: "But later, the world was in turmoil, and the heroes fought everywhere, and when Xiaoting was only seven years old, the old slave went out with the master, and rarely went home. ”

At that time, Xiaoting was very well-behaved and sensible. Every day, I will wait for the old slave to come home at the door of the house, and it is also the most reassuring and comfortable day after the old slave comes home. ”

"Until ten years ago, the old slave went out with the old man, and when the old slave came back, he found that the house had been ransacked, and the lady ...... The lady also fell in a pool of blood, and Xiaoting didn't know where to go. ”

"The old man immediately sent his subordinates to help the old slave find it, but he didn't find it, and the old slave also asked to take the initiative to remove his official position and find it alone."

Finally, after several years of searching, the old slave finally found out Xiaoting's whereabouts. At that time, Xiaoting had already worshipped a master as a teacher and learned martial arts. ”

"In the ninth year of Wude, the Turks led troops into Chang'an again, Xiaoting was alone, intending to rush into the Turks and kill the Turkic generals, but was stopped by the old slave, since then, Xiaoting broke off relations with the old slave, saying that when she saw the old slave in the future, she would kill the old slave and avenge her mother."

Hearing this, Li Yi had some bad feelings, but he didn't bother.

Lao Yang continued: "The old man also knew about this, and the old man said that he felt guilty, it was he who killed the old slave's wife, if he hadn't taken the old slave to go on the expedition together, the old slave would not have happened." ”

"But the old slave knew in his heart that at that time, with the strength of our Tang Kingdom, we were not allowed to send troops at all and fight the Turks."

"Later, when Zhenguan was four years old, the lord personally led the troops to attack, defeated the Turks, and at the same time, killed a lot, and the Turkic captives who raided the old slave's house at that time said that they wanted to avenge the old slave's wife."

"For this matter, the master was even slandered by the people below and reported to the saint, but fortunately, the saint is wise, I don't know where the saint learned about the old slave, so the saint did not blame the lord for this."

"But for so many years, the old slave ...... The old slave has always dared not appear in front of Xiao Ting, let alone face Xiao Ting. ”

Speaking of which, Lao Yang had already begun to have a slight sobbing sound, and the dignified seven-foot man ...... Tears.

"Old Yang, why is this?" Li Yi asked puzzled.

After all, the revenge has been avenged, and logically speaking, Leng Mianhua should also forgive Lao Yang, why didn't Lao Yang dare to face it?

"Probably...... Maybe it's because the old slave didn't have the ability to kill the enemy, greedy for life and afraid of death, right? ”

Lao Yang wiped his tears, and didn't care whether Li Yi would laugh at him, laughed dryly, and Lao Yang sighed again and said:

"Actually, for so many years, the old slave has not thought about it, once he dies, and then goes down to accompany the lady, but every time I think of it, Xiaoting is still young, and the old slave is afraid that she will embark on the crooked road, so the old slave would rather be a turtle with a shrunken head than meet Xiaoting."

"At least Xiaoting is just thinking about killing the old slave now, and she hasn't done anything out of the ordinary over the years."

Lao Yang grinned a few times, with an invisible look of self-deprecation on his face.

Hearing this, Li Yi finally understood.

"Pity the hearts of parents in the world..."

Li Yi sighed in his heart.

In this world, I'm afraid, there is nothing that can compare to his own flesh and blood, who has always hated himself, but for the sake of his flesh and blood, but he has to live in pain, right?

At the same time, Li Yi also figured out the truth about why Li Jing killed the captive.

The things recorded in the history books may not necessarily be true.

"Huhu ......" took two deep breaths, Li Yi pushed a cup of tea to Lao Yang's side, patted Lao Yang's shoulder at the same time, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lao Yang, this matter will be handed over to me." ”

"Then it's troublesome..."Lao Yang was stunned, then shook his head and smiled, without any hope.

After all, for so many years, the knot in Lao Yang's heart has not been untied, and Lao Yang has never had any hope.

He only hopes that Xiaoting can live like she is now, healthy and healthy.

Li Yiqiang smiled and took a light sip of tea.

……

Zhenguan five years, the fourteenth day of the first month.

The sky has just dawned.

After Li Yicai finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, he saw a member of the mansion running quickly in the direction of the martial arts training ground, and said urgently: "Childe, there is a girl outside the door who asks to see her, and she ...... Said that her name was cold noodle flower. ”

It's just that when he said this, a look of fear flashed on his face, and then he proposed in a trembling voice: "Childe, do you want to let the old slave ...... Inform the big lady now? ”

The name of Leng Mian Hua is known to almost the entire Jianghu people in Chang'an City, it is a ruthless killer.

She has a gang called the Dugu Gang.

She is the only one in the entire gang.

But her martial arts are very strong, basically, she has never met a few opponents, and many people in the rivers and lakes will involuntarily dodge when they see her or hear her fame.

It's just that the people of several big gangs in Chang'an City are not afraid of her.

And the people in the Guogong Mansion can know the name 'Cold Noodle Flower' entirely because they have heard Lao Yang talk about it from time to time, and they also know some sad things from it.

"Nope." Li Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let's invite her into the house to sit down first, by the way, make her a good cup of tea and treat her, and I'll come later." ”

"Uh...... Yes, Childe. The family was stunned, and immediately turned away.

Although Li Yi didn't know whether there would be good news or bad news when Leng Mianhua came to the house early this morning, it was better than no news.

"Let's go, Yue'er, bathe me and change my clothes." Li Yi put away his sword and gave Yue'er a command.

"Yes, Childe." Yue'er nodded, and followed Li Yi back to the house.

At this moment, in the main hall.

The red whisk girl did not appear, and Lao Yang did not appear, only a maidservant Xiao Tao brought a cup of tea to Leng Mianhua, and said with a smile: "Lady, please wait a while, the son should be bathing and changing clothes now, and he will come later." ”

"Well, thank you." The cold face nodded expressionlessly.

"You're welcome..."Xiao Tao nodded and smiled, and stood obediently to the side and waited, while also secretly observing the cold noodle flower.

All along, they had only heard of it, but they had never seen Leng Mianhua herself, and they were very curious.

"The little lady of the old Yang family, she looks pretty pretty ..."Xiao Tao muttered in her heart.

After a cup of tea, Li Yi finally finished bathing, changed into a set of clean clothes, and took Yue'er to the main hall of the Li Mansion.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Before entering the hall, Li Yi hugged his fists and smiled, and then Shi Shiran sat on the upper seat, took a sip of tea, turned his head to look at Leng Mianhua, and asked with a smile, "How about it, have you thought it through?" ”

"I've thought about it." Leng Mianhua looked at Li Yi, nodded slightly, and said, "I don't know, what Childe is going to do to establish a gang, but there is one thing, I must tell Childe in advance." ”

"Tell me about it." Li Yi put down the teacup and smiled.

Leng Mianhua took a deep breath, and then said, "If Childe deliberately lied to me, how would I know?" Please also ask Childe to give me a hint first, and then I will consider whether to join your gang or not. ”

"Hehe..."Li Yi couldn't help but smile.

This girl, the problem of being cautious and vigilant, still hasn't been changed.

"Okay, I'll tell you a little bit first." Li Yi nodded, and then said, "Your martial arts should have been learned from a master in the mountains, and your father once went to look for you personally, but now, he lives in pain and torture all the time, huh...... It's in Chang'an City. ”

Suddenly, Leng Mianhua couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly.

No one has ever known about these things, and since she had the nickname of 'Cold Flower', no one has known about her past.

Hearing Li Yi talk about it at this time, Leng Mianhua believed it a little, Li Yi really knew, but for the sake of peace of mind, she took a deep breath and said, "What else?" ”

"Your father's name is Yang Lihui!" Li Yi smiled and said, "In the past, he was a brave general. ”

Leng Mianhua's body couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and her hands tightened slightly.

Li Yi could see that when she heard the name 'Yang Lihui', she reacted greatly.

"Don't worry." Seeing Leng Mianhua like this, Li Yi smiled, and then said, "As long as you agree to join my gang, I will make you the deputy leader of the Fish Dragon Gang, and once the matter is done, I will definitely tell you where he is now, how is it?" ”

"Okay, I'll join!" Leng Mianhua nodded in a deep voice and gritted her teeth at the same time.

Now that she has the news of Lao Yang, Leng Mianhua completely believes in Li Yi, not to mention that she also knows that with Li Yi's personality, she will definitely not deceive her.

There is no need to deceive her!

After all, Li Yi knows all those past events, and everything is true.

"Okay." Li Yi looked at Leng Mianhua with a smile and said, "Then I'll leave you the first thing now, you go and destroy the Hong Gang first, and then you will be the Fish Dragon Gang." ”

"Why?" Leng Mianhua asked puzzled.

"No why, because they, in collusion with the Wang family, poisoned and murdered Du Xianggong, and at the same time wanted to arrest the children of Wufu." Li Yi said lightly, his face was slightly cold, and his eyes were also a little annoyed, and he overflowed lightly.

"Good!" Leng Mianhua nodded, got up, and prepared to leave the house.

"Don't rush to leave yet." Li Yi suddenly called out to Leng Mianhua, then looked at Yue'er on the side, and said, "Yue'er, bring the things." ”

"Yes, Childe." Yue'er nodded, then took out a refined iron Tang knife and handed it to Leng Mianhua.

“？” Leng Mianhua looked at Li Yi puzzled.

"Take it." Li Yi smiled slightly, grinned and said, "I said before that I want to change you to a Tang knife, after all, the treasure knife is a beautiful woman!" ”

"......" Leng Mianhua glanced at Li Yi speechlessly, and secretly sighed in her heart, so she took it, "Thank you." ”

Throwing down this sentence, Leng Mianhua strode out of the house and ran errands.

It wasn't until Leng Mianhua's back had completely disappeared in the Li Mansion that Yue'er said worriedly, "Childe, do you really want to tell her about Lao Yang?" ”

"It depends." Li Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "The time has not yet come." ”

The enchantress asked for a leave, and there will be 2 changes today, but it is also more than 7,200 words.

At noon, someone came to the house, and it was delayed for most of the day, and there was a banquet in the evening, so ...... I'll make it up tomorrow, I hope the reader understands.
