In 176 AD, Emperor Ling Xiping was five years old. In this year, Cao Cao killed Jian Shuo's uncle, one of the ten permanent attendants, Jian Tu, because of his staff, and the ten permanent attendants were hindered by Cao Song's affection, so Cao Cao Mingsheng was secretly transferred to Dunqiu. Cao Cao began to accumulate power from then on, and met the Yingchuan scholar "Xi Zhicai" who was studying in Dunqiu.

Xi Zhicai, the chief mastermind of Cao Cao's early army, the historical record is ominous, after the death of Xi Zhicai, no one can discuss with Cao Cao, so Cao Cao asked Xun Yu who can replace Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu replied, "Guo Jia can replace Xi Zhicai", it can be seen that Xi Zhicai's talent should be similar to Guo Jia.

Xiao Li Yun slept sweetly, a trace of crystal sparkle flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he also nunu his mouth from time to time, as if he had dreamed of delicious food and ate happily.

"Boom...... Boom......" There was an untimely knock on the door outside the house. Li Yun's pink little hands rubbed his confused eyes, a little annoyed and disturbed his sweet dreams, and ran to open the door angrily with bare feet.

"Less??? Few??? Master. The frightened scholar stammered, he had always known the young master's temper with the little master, and the consequences of disturbing him when he slept were very serious, but he couldn't help but come.

"Hehe, Gao Pet, it's you again, you'd better give me a reason, otherwise you know the consequences" Li Yun said sinisterly.

Gao Pet shuddered unconsciously, because he didn't understand the rules of the young master, he disturbed the young master's dreams, and when he heard the young master, it seemed that he had ruined the private meeting between the young master and the daughter of Zhou Gong, and was warned by the young master once. To this day, he vaguely remembered the sinister expression of the young master at that time, as well as that sentence. "If you disturb my sleep in the future, hehe, I will send you to the palace as an official." At the time, he thought it would be better, but the next move almost caused him to run away. The young master made a knife cutting motion, and his eyes gestured to his lower body. Suddenly awakened, he swore that he would never disturb the young master again.

But today, I was forced, woo. Gao Pet made a bitter face, unconsciously covered his lower body and said: "Young Master, it's not my fault, please let me go, I will remember it in the future and will not do it again." After speaking, Gao Chong secretly said in his heart: If he is ordered to call the young master when the young master is sleeping in the future, he will not go if he says anything, and he has to find a reason to slip away.

Li Yun saw Gao Pet, who had a sluggish face, smiled maliciously, and screamed "frightened" into Gao Pet's ear.

I didn't want Gao Pet's voice to be louder, and the movements came out, and I was directly frightened to the ground with an "ah" sound, embarrassed. The high pet, who had palpitations, looked around, and found that the young master leaned forward and leaned back happily, and his heart was happy, knowing that he had passed a level, but the expression on his face was even more aggrieved.

Li Yun, who had laughed enough, looked at the high pet like a resentful woman, and was happy again. The dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared without a trace, and he scolded with a smile: "Don't pretend, it's not that I don't know you, let's say, what's the matter?"

As soon as Gao Chong heard this, he knew that Li Yun's anger had disappeared, so he said, "Little master, the master told you to go to the back mountain." ”

"Houshan, what are you doing there?" Li Yun thought with some confusion. I didn't come up with a reason for a while, and when I saw that Gao Pet was still here, I said, "I know, I'll go right away." After that, he whispered to Gao Pet and asked, "Gao Pet, what did you say Daddy asked me to do?" ”

"Hehe, young master, did the master tell you to do something? In fact...... In fact...... Is it ...... I don't know very well, and where Yue Fei and the others are, where I'm going too, well, there are still some things there I'll go there first. Li Yun listened to the first half of what Gao Pet said, and thought that Gao Pet knew. But if you continue to listen to it, it will become tasteless. Kindness...... I found out that I was tricked. Li Yun was immediately furious, but Gao Zhong had disappeared, and Li Yun thought angrily: "Hmph, the next time I see him, I have to punish him to squat in the pit for two hours." ”

Li Yun looked left and right and found that something was wrong, as if something was missing, so he buried his head and thought about it, "Well, it seems that there are a few people missing, ah...... No one dressed me up. ”

Immediately shouted loudly, "Wanwan (full name Li Wanwan), Concubine Xuan (full name Li Feixuan) got up, are there any maids like you?" It's even later than the master, don't you want to do it? Believe it or not, I'm sending you out. ”

A room to the left of Li Yun's room. "Wanwan is up, get up, the young master is up, block." Concubine Xuan was startled when she heard Li Yun's voice, and hurriedly got up and shouted. As soon as Concubine Xuan's words fell, she heard "What, didn't the young master get up at the end of the day (between 9:00~11:00)?" It's just 7:00~9:00 a.m. But it was the sleepy-eyed man who had just gotten up and complained.

Concubine Xuan and Wanwan listened to Li Yun calling them, and hurriedly got up to serve Li Dashao. The two girls were combing Li Yun's hair, Wanwan looked at Li Yun with a look of enjoyment, and said a little coquettishly, "Young Master, why did you get up so early today, you haven't woken up yet!" After speaking, he was afraid that Li Yun would not believe it, so he took his milky white hand and rubbed his big black and shiny eyes.

Li Yun looked at Wanwan who didn't look like her with a little crying and laughing, and said with the same feeling, "I don't want to either, who asked my father to send someone to call me personally!" You also know my father's temper, if I don't listen, I will definitely scold me for being rebellious, and let me kneel in the ancestral hall for a few hours, alas...... It's a hard life! ”

"Ah, it's the old man's name, then the young master, you better hurry up! Otherwise, Wanwan will also be punished. When Wanwan heard that it was the old man's call, she suddenly changed her position shamelessly, and it seemed that she had been punished by the old stubbornness before.

Li Yun almost didn't mention it in one breath when he heard this, "Yes, I thought I had found a confidant, but who knew that as soon as I heard that the enemy was a little strong, I immediately threw myself into the arms of the enemy and turned against myself." Ay! The world is going down! ”

Wanwan looked at Li Yun and looked at herself with disdain, her little face turned red, and she said with some annoyance, "Young master, look, since the master called you, you should hurry up, otherwise the master will be angry again." After speaking, he glanced at Concubine Shi and pushed Li Yun out.

However, he said that Li Ling was calling Yue Fei and the others to the back mountain, and when he looked at them, he suddenly showed a relieved face and said, "From today onwards, you will no longer be my Li family's servants." ......"

Yue Fei and the others were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly knelt in front of Li Ling, and before they could hear Li Ling finish speaking, they choked up and said, "Master...... Sir, I'm ...... What did we do wrong, you can say, let's change, please don't dare us to go" Ling Shang hurriedly answered Yue Fei's words, "Yes, master, we must change, please don't dare us to go, the Li family is our home, and we can't live without the Li family." ”

As soon as Li Ling saw them like this, he knew that they had misunderstood, and hurriedly helped them up, but they looked like I wouldn't get up if you didn't take back what you just said, which made Li Ling stunned and didn't get up. made Li Ling also feel depressed, "Why are these people's strength so great, I am also a person who practices martial arts diligently!" ”

Li Ling couldn't be convinced, so he explained directly: "Who did you listen to, I dare you to leave, just a few of you who have wealth through heaven and earth, even if you want to leave, I won't agree." Hmph, get it all up for me. ”

Yue Fei and Ling Shang were stunned when they heard this, some of them reacted, their eyes were surprised, some were moved, their bodies trembled a little and looked at Li Ling and said, "Master, do you want to ......" Xue Li saw the two of them like this, and immediately understood, his expression was the same as Yue Fei's, and he also looked at Li Ling with crystal eyes.

Only Gao Chong's head was a little unable to turn around, and he said with some doubts: "Master, didn't you say that we are not the servants of the Li family from today on." ”

Li Ling shook his head when he saw Gao Zhong like this, and explained, "If you are not a domestic servant, can't you be a member of the Li family?" ”

Gao Pet was overjoyed when he heard this, Li Ling explained that if he still didn't know that day, it was not that his head was not exhausted, but he was naïve, and after saying that, although Gao Pet was not as good as the three of them, his resourcefulness was also several times stronger than ordinary people, and he was a little stupid just by dealing with Yue Fei and others every day.

At this time, two words appeared in Yue Fei's minds: "Retainer." "Although in ancient times, the world called the retainers and the master of the family as the master and servant, but this is just the humble title of the ancients, the status of the retainer and the servant is not the same, for example" Guo Jia and Xun Yu were both Cao Cao's retainers in history, but their status was hundreds of times higher than that of Cao Cao's servants. "There is also the fact that retainers can shroud their bodies in horse leather, and they can also stand on the battlefield and stand on the court, which are all things that domestic servants can't do. Now that Li Ling wants to remove the identity of their domestic servants, and they don't have to leave the Li family, how can they not be moved, how can they not be happy.

At this time, Yue Fei and the others were already overwhelmed with surprise, Ling Shang saw Li Ling looking at them with a smile, hurriedly knelt down, and said in a choked voice, "Thank you for your great kindness, I, Ling Shang, swear to heaven that I will repay my lord's great kindness in this life and this life, never abandon the Li family, and be the minister of the Li family for generations. ”

When Yue Fei and the others saw that Ling Shang was like this, they also knelt in front of Li Ling and raised their right hands, stretched out three fingers, and pointed their fingertips directly at the sky, "I, Yue Fei (Gao Pet) (Xue Li), swear to heaven that I will repay the great kindness of the lord in this life and this life, and never abandon the Li family, and be the ministers of the Li family for generations. ”

Li Ling was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly helped Yue Fei and the four of them up, and said with some anger, "Hey, you...... How can you swear so much, hey, you are like this, if it is passed on, you will completely brand the Li family, and you will never be able to serve as a high-ranking official such as the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, judging from your current talent, except for those high-ranking officials, other official positions are all condescending! How can you realize your ambitions? Quick, take back your vows. ”

Originally, Li Ling made this decision because the four of them were talented, it was a pity to stay in the Li family, and in the future, they would have their own filial piety for them, and there would be no situation where they could not show their talents, and it was definitely possible that they would be a little weakened now with their talents (I don't know how to describe it, anyway, it is the "result" of the decay of the Han officials and the annexation of land by the family. In short, it can be stated in advance that the Han Dynasty did not die from weakness, but from the rebellion of the family. The big man brought out the predicament, but their current oath was completely out of his original intention, how could Li Ling not be annoyed.

You must know that although Li Ling asked them to be the retainers of the Li family, Yue Fei and the four of them have already been marked by the Li family, but once the retainers enter the high-ranking officials, they will basically abandon the head of the family, just like the historical Jizhou Mu Han Fu was originally a retainer of the Yuan family, but after serving as Jizhou Mu, he abandoned the Yuan family. Although there are many times when I still listen to the Yuan family, but that is to take into account the previous situation, you must know that in the Han Dynasty, the power of the word Yi is sometimes more terrifying than loyalty. But this oath made Yue Fei and the four of them always be the retainers of the Li family, you must know that the emperor would never use a retainer from another family as a high-ranking official.

Ling Shang knew what Li Ling meant as soon as he heard it, and a warm current flowed through his heart, his expression was certain, and he said resolutely, "Master, if you turn your back on the Li family because you want to be a high-ranking official, I would rather not be a high-ranking official." ”

"That's right, so am I"

"Me too"

"Well, so am I"

Li Ling looked at the firm expressions of the four of them, knowing that he could not make them change anymore, his eyes were a little complicated, some were relieved, some were helpless, and some were annoyed. In the end, I had to sigh and say, "Hey, you guys." …… Whatever it is, let it be! After speaking, he paused for a while, looked at the sky, the atmosphere was a little weird, and suddenly Li Ling said, "What did you call me just now?" But the voice was a little loud, and it scared Yue Fei and the others all at once, and they thought something was wrong? Only Yue Fei was bolder, and walked forward cautiously, "That, I'...... We're calling, you're calling you, sir, what's wrong, isn't it? ”

"No, of course it's not, what is the master, that's what the servant is called, you are now a retainer, what do you want to call me, you want to call the lord, lord, do you know."

Yue Fei: "......"

Seeing Li Ling say a little angrily, Yue Fei and the four of them suddenly knew that the pedantic energy of their old man and new lord had been committed again, and they had just called the master for so many years. I was really unaccustomed to it for a while. It's just that looking at Li Ling's appearance, they also know that they have to get used to it if they are not used to it. I had to shout unaccustomed to Li Ling, who was a little angry now, "My lord." ”
