"Pei Lian? Although I have heard of his name for a long time, I have never had the opportunity to meet him, let alone know him. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Xiu replied immediately, and at the same time, he was a little strange why Li Shimin asked so?

"That's strange, according to the information I received, Pei Lin mentioned your name several times when he met his father, I thought you knew him?" Li Shimin also had some doubts when he heard this.

"Oh, what did Pei Lin and His Majesty say about me?" Li Xiu asked strangely again, he didn't seem to have any intersection with Pei Lian, what did the other party do in front of Li Yuan for no reason?

"This ......" Li Shimin smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and only after a while did he reply in a hurry, "This...... My people didn't dare to get too close, so they didn't hear what Pei Lin said to his father clearly. ”

Li Xiu immediately understood when he heard this, it is estimated that the people who Li Shimin placed next to Li Yuan overheard some content, and only knew that they talked about themselves, but they didn't hear what they were talking about, Li Shimin came to ask himself, probably he also wanted to get some news from himself, but unfortunately he didn't know Pei Lin at all.

As for Li Shimin's placement of people around Li Yuan, Li Xiu felt that it was normal, the palace was originally a place of intrigue, and even Li Xiu was sure that Li Yuan not only had Li Shimin's people around him, but also Li Jiancheng's people, and there might even be other princes or ministers, it can be said that Li Yuan's every move was followed by these people, and even Li Yuan himself knew this, but unfortunately he had nothing to do about it, this may be the emperor's sorrow.

After breakfast, Li Xiu sent Li Shimin back to Beijing, but compared to the last time, Li Shimin looked very haggard after the hangover this time, but his spirit was not bad, it seemed that although the dismantling of Tiance Mansion hit him hard, it did not destroy his fighting spirit, and it was not easy for Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng to successfully take away the military power from him.

Seeing Li Shimin's background disappear at the end of the road, Li Xiu suddenly sighed, from Li Shimin's body, he saw a little bit of his shadow in his previous life, although he was not as powerful as Li Shimin in his previous life, but he also had to face this intriguing life for some interests, and even fought to the death in the shopping mall, occasionally feeling physically and mentally exhausted, and even bruised all over his body, but the next day he still had to grit his teeth and stand up and rush into his own battlefield.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Li Shimin, but then he shook his head a little funny, he stood on the current position and sympathized with Li Shimin, but in Li Shimin's own opinion, he didn't feel pitiful, maybe sometimes he would envy Li Xiu's leisure, but he would never give up the power in his hands in exchange for this leisure, maybe only after dying like himself once, can he really look down on something.

Today's weather is good, the dark clouds brought by the heavy snow before have dissipated all of a sudden, the warm sun shines on people, making people feel more and more lazy, the snow on the road has long been cleared, piled up on the side of the road into snowdrifts, occasionally you can see some snowmen, these are the masterpieces of Qi Niang and Chengdao their children.

It's rare to have such a good weather, Li Xiu stepped on the gravel road and wanted to go to the river, and on the way he needed to pass by the old house where Yiniang and Fan'er lived and their master and servant, although the relationship between Li Xiu and Fan'er was good, but it always felt a little embarrassing to meet Yiniang, which also made the two of them deliberately avoid meeting, and even the number of times the two met together, I'm afraid it was no more than ten times.

Maybe because of the two women's move-in, the old mansion has also undergone some changes now, first of all, the fence has become much higher, and the gate has been replaced with a stronger one, after all, the two women still have to pay attention to safety, and the houses inside have also been repaired, it seems that the two of them really plan to live here for a long time.

Li Xiu saw that the door of the old mansion was closed, and he was also relieved at the moment, and then quickened his pace to pass quickly, so as not to be embarrassed to see the two of them, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud sound of "dong ~" from the gate of the old mansion, as if something was hitting the door, and then saw that the door was squeezed open a crack, and then a snow-white animal rushed out.

Li Xiu happened to walk to the gate of the old mansion at this time, only five or six meters away from the gate, and there were trees on both sides, the animal had no other choice at all, so he hit him, but before Li Xiu could react, he felt a pain in his thigh, and then the whole person was knocked to the ground.

"Baa~" With a sheep's cry, Li Xiu saw that it was a sheep that hit him, with blood stains on the white hair on his body, and blood seemed to be dripping from his neck.

Before Li Xiu could figure out the situation, he saw a woman's shouting in the courtyard, and then saw two women rushing out of the courtyard covered in blood, and when he saw Li Xiu who fell outside the door, he was also stunned.

Li Xiu was also startled when he saw the fans and Yi Niang who rushed out, only to see that the clothes on the two women were stained with a large amount of blood, especially the clothes of the two women, there were also a few drops of blood splashed on the original white face, which looked even a little delicate, and he was still holding a bloody kitchen knife in his hand, and he could even see blood beads dripping from the kitchen knife, like a murderous heroine in a horror movie.

"Ah~" I saw that Yi Niang suddenly reacted at this time, and turned around with a scream and ran back to the yard, because she didn't expect that she would meet Li Xiu at the most embarrassing moment, which made her instinctively feel very shy, so she fled back to the yard, and even the kitchen knife in her hand was thrown aside by her.

Fortunately, Fan'er's reaction was relatively normal, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Xiu up and asked, "Li Gongzi, are you okay, are you injured?" ”

"It's okay, you two are killing sheep?" Li Xiu stood up and moved at this time, and found that it was just a little pain in his thigh, and it was estimated that he was bruised, but there was no big problem.

"Yes, I wanted to eat mutton in winter, so I bought a sheep from a nearby village through Uncle Liu, but I didn't expect the sheep to be so difficult to kill." Fan Er said with some annoyance at this time.

"Why don't you go find someone to help you kill, just you two weak women want to kill sheep?" Li Xiu looked at Fan Er with some incredulity when he heard this, a big animal like pigs and sheep is really not good for inexperienced people, let alone a weak woman like Fan Er.

"That...... I want to drink tripe soup, but Sister Yi Niang also said that we have even killed chickens and ducks, and it should be similar to killing sheep, but I didn't expect that the strength of that sheep to be so great! Fan Er was a little embarrassed at this time, after killing sheep and pigs, the people who helped the slaughter would take away the internal organs as compensation, which is also an unwritten rule in the countryside.

"Can killing a chicken compare to killing a sheep?" Li Xiu also glanced at Fan Er a little helplessly when he heard this, there is no way to reason with a snack goods, in addition, although Fan Er has the income of roasting tea, but because there are not many people who drink tea, their income is also limited, and they naturally have to save some flowers, and this sheep is estimated to be prepared by them for the New Year.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't sit idly by, looked at the direction of the sheep just now and said, "That sheep is injured, it shouldn't be far away, I'll help you chase it back!" ”

Fan Er was still thinking about her tripe soup, and when she heard that Li Xiu was willing to help, she also cheered, and then chased down the blood trail with Li Xiu, but when they came to the river, they found that the sheep was lying on the ice and "bleating".

At that moment, Li Xiu quietly stepped on the ice and leaned over, the ice on the river was already very thick, and the children in the village often skated on it, so Li Xiu was not worried about safety, and when he got close to the sheep, he suddenly reached out and grabbed its two front legs, and lifted the sheep's upper body up at once, but it was useless to let this head struggle.

At that moment, Li Xiu dragged the struggling sheep back to the old house, at this time Yi Niang had already washed her face, but the clothes on her body had not been changed, and she still looked a little embarrassed, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile when she saw her, which made Yi Niang bow her head even more shyly, but then suddenly raised her head and glared at Li Xiu, looking still very stubborn.

Help people to the end, although this sheep has lost half a life, but it is not two weak women can deal with, at the moment he asked Fan Er to help him take the knife, found the original knife edge and cut it again, just now I don't know whether it is Fan Er or Yi Niang's hand, the knife edge is very messy, it is estimated that more than one knife has been cut, and it has not been cut to the point, this sheep fell into their hands is also poured blood mold, it is better to be stabbed to death by someone.

Li Xiu is also a half-baked surgeon, and the same as the butcher is to eat with a knife, so he is ruthless and accurate, although the kitchen knife is not smooth, but he still cut the major artery on the sheep's neck with a knife, which finally freed the sheep, and helped the fans to peel off the sheepskin, lest they spoil such a good skin, and finally took out the internal organs, and the rest of the things did not need his help.

Fan Er hurriedly brought a basin of hot water at this time, Li Xiu washed his hands and wanted to leave, but at this time, Yi Niang saw that Li Xiu was also tired and sweaty, and even his clothes were splashed with a lot of blood, and she was a little embarrassed at the moment, and wanted to leave him to eat as a thank you, but she couldn't say anything.

"Li Gongzi, thank you for helping us kill the sheep, why don't you stay here for dinner at noon today, it can be regarded as our heart!" Fortunately, at this time, the fan also saw what Yi Niang meant, and spoke first. (To be continued.) )
