Chapter 38 Seeing through Li Gou's identity
A lightning bolt illuminated the sky above Luoyang, revealing dense dark clouds, and a thunderclap disturbed the dreams of many people, and scared a few children to cry.
Soon after, the rain was dripping, hitting the eaves, the streets, and the pine locusts in the courtyard.
Li Xuanba was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, and the rain at this time annoyed him even more, since he couldn't sleep, Li Xuanba simply put on his coat and sat in front of the desk.
After leaving the palace, Li Xuanba was thinking about why His Majesty wanted to send Li Zhu to him, and he subconsciously decided that Li Zhu was His Majesty's person. But at dinner, when Li Xuanba saw Li Gou, he began to have a trace of doubt about himself again.
Li Gou and Li Zhu appeared in the Li Mansion almost at the same time, and they were both after Li Xuanba was struck by lightning, Li Zhu may be Yang Guang's person, why is it impossible for Li Gou? Is it because Li Gou is too ordinary?
Li Gou is good at drinking, lustful, and extremely honest in front of people, so Li Xuanba didn't think at first that Li Gou might be Yang Guang's person. At dinner, Li Gou, as usual, drank with Li Xing and others without scruples, but unlike before, Li Gou did not ask Li Xuanba about entering the palace.
This is not Li Gou's consistent style. Li Gou is not an ordinary servant of the Li Mansion, he has been with Li Xuanba for the longest time, and he will not miss any opportunity to make fun of Li Xuanba.
At the same time, another trace of doubt arose in Li Xuanba's heart.
Li Yuan is the Duke of Tang Guo, and there are many servants in the house, why did the Wan family choose Li Zhu and the two of them? Could it be that Wan knows the identities of the two of them?
For a while, Li Xuanba felt that this world was so strange, and the people in this world were even stranger. sighed helplessly, and while the ink in the inkstone was not dry, Li Xuanba wrote three words on a piece of paper: Why bother? Then, pulling out a proclamation from underneath, he plucked another hair and put it on the paper on which he had written.
After hesitating for a while, Li Xuanba broke the hair again, put it in the corner of the paper, and then covered it with clean rice paper.
After a night, Li Xuanba and Li Zhu left the Tang State Mansion and rode a carriage to Guozijian.
Li Xuanba did not have the habit of locking the door, and everyone in the Tang Mansion knew Li Xuanba's habits, but fortunately, Li Xuanba handed over the gold and silver to the housekeeper Li Xing, and there were only some ordinary daily necessities left in the room, and he was not afraid of being coveted.
Li Gou hesitated for a long time, but after all, he didn't hold back and pushed open Li Xuanba's door. Last night, the lights in Li Xuanba's room were not extinguished all night, and Li Gou braved the rain and observed on the courtyard wall all night.
Li Xuanba's room didn't have any luxurious decorations, and it wasn't the first time Li Gou had entered this room, so he didn't rummage through the cabinets or touch the bed. He walked straight to the edge of the desk, looked at it for a moment, and took the first piece of rice paper very carefully and put it aside.
After seeing those three words, Li Gou's heart trembled slightly, and he said to himself: "After studying in Guozi for a month, the words written are still so ugly. After speaking, he put the rice paper that had been taken away, put it back in its place, and left the room.
Li Xuanba already doubted his identity, so naturally he would not leave any useful information to himself, Li Gou seemed to be scheming, but in fact he was not stupid. After closing the door, Li Gou found Li Xing as usual and went out of the house to wander around.
When Li Gou was not around, Li Xuanba rarely spoke, but Li Zhu found that Li Xuanba's silence today was a little terrifying. Whether it was on the way to Guozijian or on the way back to the house, Li Xuanba did not say a word.
To be precise, not a word was said to him.
Back at the Tang State Mansion, the atmosphere at the dinner table was as usual, and there was no clue.
After eating, back in the room, Li Xuanba washed his face, then sat at the desk, and was stunned, after a long time, he took a deep breath and gently opened the rice paper.
Seeing that the paper was empty, Li Xuanba chuckled lightly and crumpled the piece of paper on which he had written.
Knowing that Li Gou was Yang Guang's person, Li Xuanba didn't have the heart to practice reading and reading, and leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed. The tightly sealed windows made it impossible for the cold outside the room to penetrate at all, and the fire in the room was also burning, but Li Xuanba still felt a little cold.
Since he came to this world, Li Xuanba has become an ordinary person, and he has always regarded himself as an ordinary person. But suddenly one day, he found that he was not ordinary, and the people around him were not ordinary.
When Wan arranged Li Zhu and Li Gou by his side, Li Xuanba also made a joke.
Li Gou likes to visit the Qinglou, so Li Xuanba gave him the money, and he didn't care about it after that.
Li Zhu wanted to study in the Guozijian, and Li Xuanba relied on Yang Guang's favor for him to bring Li Zhu into the Guozijian to fulfill his wish.
Li Xuanba is the master, Li Zhu is their servant, Li Xuanba doesn't need to please Li Zhu and them at all, he does these things just because he regards Li Zhu and the two as friends.
"Li Gou is His Majesty's person, what about Li Zhu?" Li Xuanba said to himself: "With his ability, it is not difficult to find an official position in the court, why are you willing to stay with me, a waste person?" ”
Li Xuanba rubbed his head to calm himself down, and then carefully sorted out his thoughts.
First of all, Yang Guang did not intend to be unfavorable to him, Li Xuanba believed this, otherwise Yang Guang could kill him a hundred times just for the crime of bullying the king.
Moreover, if Yang Guang hadn't intentionally revealed it, Li Xuanba wouldn't have noticed Li Gou's identity at all, so Li Gou was by his side, not to monitor, but most likely to be Yang Guang to protect him.
Whether it was an accident or not when he was struck by lightning has become an unsolved case with Li Xuanba's loss of memory, but whether Li Xuanba will encounter other "accidents" again, no one dares to guarantee that for his safety, Yang Guang sent Li Gou over. Wan may have guessed Li Gou's identity and Yang Guang's intentions, so he arranged Li Gou by Li Xuanba's side.
This matter may only be known to Wan's alone.
In fact, this matter is not difficult to think, but Li Xuanba was first frightened by Yang Guang, and then suddenly learned that the person who had been with him had another purpose, so it was inevitable that he would be depressed and unable to concentrate on thinking.
Thinking about Li Gou's question, Li Xuanba thought about Li Zhu again. However, when he went to recall the things about Li Zhu, he found that there was nothing worth recalling.
He was drinking tea in the restaurant, and Li Zhu was sitting smiling on one side; He took a nap in the carriage, and Li Zhu sat quietly
Li Zhu has always been very quiet, with a smile on his face all the time, he knows etiquette, knows how to advance and retreat, and can't find a trace of fault, such a perfect person is definitely impossible to be Yang Guang's person.
How can Yang Guang be willing to let such a talent go?
"Since you are not Your Majesty's person, how will you answer when I ask you?" Li Xuanba wrote the word "Li Zhu" on the paper, and then pointed to those two words. Said with a smile.
The sound of the rain outside the house gradually thinned out, and the room gradually warmed up, Li Xuanba rubbed his eyes, walked to the bed, took off his coat, and got into the quilt.
"Hopefully it's a good day." Li Xuanba said something in a daze, and fell asleep groggily.
