"Why don't you go home?"
"The banquet should have just ended, and when I go back at this time, I will definitely be scolded, and besides, I have provoked such a person, so I naturally want to take a stroll outside and have a good time," Li Huai said and bought a few strings of sugar gourds from the vendor and handed them to Yang Zhi.
"Thanks to you today, I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble." Li Huai smiled slightly, the fight in the courtyard was real, Yang Zhi protected Li Huai with a knife, otherwise he should have rushed to reincarnate now, the assassin's martial arts, Li Huai knew, Yang Zhi's martial arts He also knew, otherwise he wouldn't have taken him out tonight.
"You've already caused a lot of trouble, and I'm afraid it'll be more after tonight, but I don't understand, how did you survive with such poor skills until now?" Yang Zhi clearly saw in the courtyard that the assassin's sword had recently pressed against Li Huai's throat.
"I used to have a very powerful bodyguard, naturally no one dared to hurt me, now with you, although the martial arts are almost good, but you can protect me well, not bad, not bad." Li Huai said as he ate a snack on the side of the road, and his mouth chirped, "Not bad." ā
Yang Zhi behind him had already carried a lot of things in his hands at this time, looking at the other party with a squishy look, he was angry for a while, he just said thank you, but now he called himself like a subordinate.
"Tomorrow night, if your brothers and sisters are okay, come and spend it with us, or eat hot pot." Of course Yang Zhi has eaten hot pot, Li Huai often eats hot pot with Yue'er, Cuiping and the guards who came with Yecheng, and the lively appearance surprised Yang Zhi's brothers and sisters, and at the same time, they also felt a burst of warmth in their hearts, in their opinion, hot pot is not only delicious, but also heartwarming.
Yang Zhi looked at the other party and knew that the young man was sincerely invited, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Old Yang, go back and teach me a few knife moves."
"You believe in my sword, what if I can't beat that assassin? What if I stood by and watched? The more Li Huai trusted him, the more Yang Zhi's heart was full of doubts, and it was only a few days since he realized it.
Li Huai looked at him blankly, his face was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared, "If you can't beat the other party, at least you drag the other party, and I can slip away, as for you standing by?" Hmph, I think Yunying will avenge me. ā
At this time, it was Yang Zhi's turn to be stunned, looking at Li Huai's back, and feeling more and more that this gentleman was really a rare wonder in the world.
When the two of them returned with a full load, they found that the general's mansion was still brightly lit, Li He was sitting in the main hall, and under him, there was an old man, who was half asleep at this time.
"Dad, haven't slept yet?" Li Huai walked into the main hall, saluted his father, and saluted the sleepy old man, "Old man, hard work." ā
Li He also moved his eyes to the old man, the other party was naturally the representative of the prince, because of Li Huai's absence, Shang Xue's heart was naturally unhappy, and more importantly, the prince's mood was not very good, and he naturally didn't have a good face for Li He.
"Good boy, I haven't seen you for a few days, and the old man won't give him face?" The old man opened his eyes, but he didn't have any anger, but was a little disappointed and regretful, tonight he wanted to take advantage of the prince's banquet to tie Li Huai to his side, even if he knew Yan Fan's intentions, he also believed that Li Huai would come, but ......
"Bastard, where did you go?" Li He was the first to get angry and questioned Li Huai, but seeing the other party's calm face, he turned around and closed the door behind him, blocking the prying eyes in the yard.
The main hall quieted down, Li Huai took out a black sign from his sleeve, the room was brightly lit, so Li He and Shangxue could see it clearly, but the two still felt that they were dazzled, how could Li Huai have such a brand, and where did he get it, the two naturally knew that Li Huai was recruited by Uncle Jiu, but it was just an ordinary internal guard, such a person in the world does not know how many, but the internal guard who can hold a black token, there are only nine people alive now, they are all old people in the internal guard, in charge of various places, It is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, and now that the young man took out a piece, it naturally means that he may have seen the emperor who was obsessed with pills tonight, and even had a conversation.
Li Huai saw the doubts in the hearts of the two, "It was given by Uncle Jiu, and it was specially explained by the emperor to facilitate my work." Li Huai looked at the two of them, and then looked at the brand in his hand, this is what he used all his property, and even most of the property in the future, you must know that alchemy costs money, and it is not a small amount, after so many years, the household department has long been demolished to make up the west wall, and the treasury is even poorer than the mouse, so Li Huai can exchange it for such a black brand.
He still remembered that when Uncle Nine appeared in front of him with a sign, the vigilance in his eyes, how should he think of Li Huai in his heart? How should the emperor behind him think of Li Huai?
And at this moment, Shang Xue and Li He were also thinking about Li Huai in their hearts, what was he going to do?
The lights were not extinguished day and night, and the three of them talked in the house all night, until just after dawn, Shang Xue walked out of the general's mansion with a tired face, sitting in the carriage, but his thoughts could not be calm, and he knocked on the door frame with his hand, "Go to the prince's mansion." ā
In the General's Mansion, the family stayed up all night, Yue'er and Cuiping and others were naturally worried about the young master, afraid of being punished by the master, while on the other hand, Li Caier and others were worried that there would be a bigger rift between father and son, after all, the relationship between the two was already thin, and some people were cold bystanders, always wanting to see a good show.
It's a pity that when Li Huai left the main hall, he looked tired, and there was nothing unusual on his body, and Li He slept until the afternoon before coming out, everything seemed to be very calm, and everyone was taken aback by the calmness, what was talked about last night, but there was no way to know, but the next day, the house was still lit up, waiting for the day of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.
In the evening, Li He, Li Caier and Li Huai wanted to keep the New Year together, but Li Huai went back to his yard early on the grounds that he was tired, and the reason was very perfunctory, but Li Cai'er was displeased, but Li He didn't say anything, just looked at his son with a little meaning, and let him go.
"Father, you don't like him?" Li Caier didn't understand why her father didn't care about this younger brother, even if he was a concubine, he was a son after all.
Li He sat on a chair and looked at the fireworks that rose in the sky outside the courtyard, which were the fireworks that would be set off every year in Shangjing, so gorgeous and dazzling, naturally released from the imperial city, aiming to pray for a prosperous new year and the peace of the country and the people.
"Flowers bloom and fall, the world is impermanent" muttered, Li He didn't say more, his face was more calm, Li Cai'er looked at the gorgeous flowers that lit up the sky, and there was a noisy sound in the west courtyard in her ears, it should be Li Huai gathering people to eat hot pot again......
