Chapter 497: Who hasn't been young yet
Liu Lai wanted to abolish Chang Liyou, because he was born as a bastard, and he didn't think it was a big deal. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But at that time, he had already gathered a group of cultural relics elites under his command, especially several civil servants, who did not approve of this matter. Xiao Chengcheng and others tried to persuade Liu Lai to dispel this idea several times, saying that the current situation was still unstable, and it was not appropriate to take such an extraordinary move at this time, so as not to float the army's morale.
And so, the matter dragged on. The Lu family took their sons and daughters, and lived in fear day by day, lest they suddenly be abolished one day.
Liu Lai already preferred Mrs. Qi and his youngest son Liu Ruyi, so he became more and more dissatisfied with the Lu family and his eldest son Liu Ying.
Liu Lai was born a scoundrel, don't look at being the king of Han now, or don't change his style back then. He saw that his wife Lu and eldest son Liu Ying were not pleasing to the eye, so he began to find fault with his son Liu Ying when he had nothing to do, and he also picked his nose and eyes at Lu. Fortunately, after so many years, the Lu family has no merit and hard work, although Liu Lai does not like the Lu family with color decay, he can't just abolish it.
Since then, the life of Lu's mother and son has become more and more difficult day by day. If it weren't for Liu Ying's innate advantage in taking advantage of the eldest and standing very firmly in etiquette, he would have been abolished by Liu Lai by casually finding an excuse.
The Lu family watched Mrs. Qi's love continue day by day, but she was old and decrepit, unable to attract King Han. She knows that if it goes on like this, sooner or later, she and her son will be unable to protect their status. But she is a woman, and there is no good way to solve this matter, so she can only sit in the city of sorrow day by day.
However, when the Lu family was about to despair, she suddenly heard the news from the south, and the deputy head of the Dingbei Garrison Regiment accepted Zhu Biao, the prince of the Ming Kingdom, as an apprentice.
This news was like a bright light in the slow night, instantly illuminating the way forward for the Lu family.
The relationship between master and apprentice is extraordinary, and it can be said that the teacher is the backer of the student. The Dingbei garrison regiment was incomparably powerful and invincible in the world, and the Tuliao State was defeated and retreated. If this backer can be relied on, the status of himself and his son will no longer be shaken, no matter how Mrs. Qi cries, King Han will not agree.
From that time, the Lu family had already thought that if the deputy head could accept his son as an apprentice, the son's position would be unbreakable, and he would be able to preserve it.
However, at that time, the Lu family was in the Han Kingdom, too far away from the Dingbei garrison, and there was no one to recommend her, so she couldn't let her son apprentice.
Just when the last hope of the Lu clan was about to be dashed, the deputy head of the garrison regiment, Li, a famous teacher in the world, actually came to enter the city! And she must conclude an alliance with her husband to jointly conquer the Tuliao Kingdom.
Therefore, the Lu family couldn't wait to take out all the assets they had accumulated over the years and invited this deputy head of Li, wanting his son to worship him as a teacher.
Regarding these bad things in Liu Lai's family, Li Deyi didn't have time to inquire in detail, all he knew was superficial information given by some senior brothers.
Liu Ying was about to apprentice suddenly, Li Deyi didn't understand the reason behind it, but he was no longer tender, and he knew that there must be content here, so he didn't agree immediately. Although Liu Yingruo can barely talk about identity, but after all, Li Deyi saw Liu Ying's child for the first time, and of course he had to investigate what it was.
However, Lu Shi was able to let his son follow him without hesitation, which was very unexpected by Li Deyi: "This mother, but she is quite willing to have her son." ”
"Boy, go, from today onwards, you will follow me as an entourage first. If you have that kind of character, I will consider taking you as a disciple again. As soon as Li De spoke, he bent down and picked up a box of assets, and without saying a word of politeness, he walked out.
Liu Ying turned her head to look at her sister, then looked behind the screen, bowed deeply to her mother, got up and followed Li Deyi out.
As soon as Li De came to the door, he put a large box of assets on the ox cart, and when he got into the cart, he planned to go back. Suddenly hearing a noisy shout, Li De turned his head and saw that it was the third uncle who was playing money with someone in the corner.
"Third uncle, didn't you go on an errand? Why are you still playing with people here? Li Deyi wondered in his heart, and walked over to see what was going on.
The third uncle, who is in his nineties, and three young people who are looking at their teens and twenties are squatting in the corner and playing money together, and the four of them are red with excitement, one of them is fiddling with two dice, and it turns out that the four of them are gambling on the size.
Don't look at the third uncle's age, which is more than twice as old as this boy, but he can count the loudest shouts of his old man: "Big! Big! Big! Oops, what a little ......"
Li Deyi couldn't bear to disturb the third uncle's Yaxing, so he quietly leaned over and looked at the three young people.
Li Deyi found that these three young people all had knives in their waists, and one of them was carrying a bow on his back, and he immediately knew that these three young people were probably young rangers in the area of Xuhuai Province.
The martial arts of the generation in Xuhuai Province are quite successful, and the young people here will be enlightened and cultivate their original qi as long as their families have the conditions. In recent years, wars have been frequent, and many young people's families have been devastated by the war and can't eat, so they come out to become rangers. I usually make a living by collecting money to escort pedestrians and serving as bodyguards for people.
These young rangers are very vigorous, and if they don't agree with each other, they will draw their swords and face each other, and they want to share life and death.
Walking forward, Li Deyi heard that the third uncle was crying and shouting bitterly, it turned out that the third uncle had played a big game just now, and pressed all the three coffins that he had saved up for begging over the years, and he lost all his money. "It's a pain to kill the old man, wow, three copper coins......"
"You old man, do you have to pull the three of us to play money, so you can't afford to lose? Less nonsense, you still don't play?! ”
The third uncle's old face was flushed, and he made up his mind and yelled: "Play! Whoever is afraid of whom, which of you will borrow a few more money from the old man and me. ”
"You old man, you are shameless. I have already borrowed three copper coins from you, and if I lose, I will borrow them again. Don't borrow, don't borrow, pay it back quickly! The young ranger said, stretched out his hand to pull the third uncle's beard, and the other hand reached into the third uncle's arms, trying to find a copper coin out.
The third uncle is in his nineties, and he is not ashamed, and he directly begged for mercy: "Little brother, do it slowly." Fang Cai was an old man who missed for a while, and he was old and a little inflexible. Let's do it again, old man, I promise to win it back, and I'll pay you back if I win it back. ”
The three young rangers obviously refused, and shouted that they would pay back the money, or they would cut off one of his hands to pay off the debt.
Li Deyi couldn't look at it from behind, so he got between the four of them and said loudly: "I'll take a silver coin and bet big." ”
The third uncle looked at Li Deyi and smiled, but his old face was not red again.
When the three young rangers saw that the big money owner had come, they immediately followed and bet one after another, and they all bought small ones. One of the teenagers was in charge of shaking the dice, shaking the wooden cup for a while, and finally slamming it on the ground, shouting: "Buy it and leave!" ”
Li De sneered at the corners of his mouth and gently clasped his fingers on the ground.
As soon as it is opened, two eighteen-sided dice, one nine and one ten, add up to exactly the big.
As soon as Li De got his hands on it, he was going to sweep away the small copper coins on the plate. One of them, looking at the eldest young ranger, suddenly shouted, and slowly: "This is not right, you newcomer is cheating!" ”
Li Deyi laughed: "Even if you are three or two, you dare to show ugliness in front of me." As he spoke, Li Deyi slapped two bronze dice with his hand and smashed them directly, and two mercury beads rolled out of them.
"Dare to smash my dice, you are such a big dog!" A young ranger slashed his hand at Li De's face and punched him. He is just a strong realm, where can he beat Li Deyi.
Li Deyi turned his head to avoid it, and at the same time made a small hook under his feet, and his hand instantly grabbed the wrist of the young ranger, pulled it to the side, and threw him to the ground.
"Ahh Dogs, dare to hit people! Let him know that we are awesome! ”
The other two heroic young rangers went up side by side, but they were all knocked to the ground by Li De. Li Deyi didn't do anything ruthlessly, he just played with them.
The third uncle hurriedly carefully picked out his three copper coins from the pile of copper coins on the ground, took them in his hand and blew them, "Old man, I can count this as a return to the capital, haha." ”
Li De pulled the third uncle up and said, "Third uncle, why are you running here to make money?" You are also playing with a few great-grandchildren's boys, you old face in the crotch of your pants? Didn't you say you had something to do? ”
The third uncle, who was in his nineties, did not blush or pant for breath, and said: "The old man has asked me for so many years, and I haven't played money for a long time. ”
Li Deyi stretched out his thumb and said to the third uncle: "Okay, old man." I convinced you, you are still living so freely in your nineties, and you can be regarded as the world's first shameless person in the dining industry. ”
The third uncle straightened his thin and dry chest, and said with a face: "That's!" ”
"Third uncle, why did you play with these three young rangers? These rangers are so brave and ruthless, and they will fight for their lives if they disagree. ”
"Hehe, little Lizi, don't look at the third uncle who is down now, think back then, when the third uncle was young, your third uncle and I were also famous rangers in Xuhuai Province." The third uncle was ashamed.
"Don't blow, don't blow. As far as you are old and unproductive, what kind of fame can you mix up when you are young? I don't believe it. Li De's head twisted like a wave drum, and there was a mockery in his words.
The third uncle usually has a good temper, and when he is in his nineties, he usually likes to fiddle with all kinds of toys, such as kites, and is ridiculed by others, but he never cares, and always laughs away.
But as soon as he heard Li Deyi's words, the usually good-tempered third uncle was immediately unhappy, his old face was tense, and he directly pulled out his shirt to the side, revealing his left arm and left chest, which were as thin as dead wood.
"Boy, look at this place! See! That's the credentials! Third uncle, when I showed this tattoo back then, I could make half of Xu Huai Province tremble! The third uncle turned his head and rushed to the sky, his face full of arrogance. Who hasn't had a past yet, you say. When I was young, I also kicked the dragon and the tiger, punched Nanshan, and kicked Beihai.
"Third uncle, what do you want me to see? You don't have anything on your shoulders, do you? ”
"I haven't shown it for many years, so I remember the wrong side." The third uncle's old face was completely red, and he quickly exposed his right arm on the other side.
"Third uncle, why do you still have five loaches tattooed on your right arm and chest?" Li Deyi saw it clearly this time and was shocked.
He has seen tattoos, and many veterans of the Weibei Battalion have them. There are tattooed pythons, tattooed flowers, tattooed dragons if there are ambitions, and even tattoos of the five poisons. But this loach has five more lines, and Li Deyi is really the first time I've seen it.
"Stare at your dog's eyes and take a closer look, it's five pythons!" The third uncle was so angry that his chest bulged.
As soon as the three young rangers lying on the ground heard this, they hurriedly woke up from the state of pretending to be dead, and knelt beside the third uncle in unison, and Bang kowtowed.
"Hurry up, hurry up. It's all old things, and you can't afford to be like that. The third uncle hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the three rangers up.
"The old brother is Dou Yanfei, the Dou hero who was called Dou Longwu back then?" The three rangers asked in unison. (To be continued.) )
