Chapter Twenty-Three: It Takes No Effort

They talked and laughed for a while, and then they all said goodbye and left, Wei Xiaotian wanted to go home and find someone to clean up the house outside, Chen Ping's sister-in-law was still kneeling outside, he still had to deal with some things, so they didn't bother Chen Ping more.

Li Yan walked on the street with Li Xiao, and at this time the street was already bustling, there were already more people, and the cries of various vendors were endless.

"Xiao'er, I am your eldest brother, regardless of dignity or inferiority, I will not be allowed to be like this in the future."

Li Yan was a little dissatisfied with Li Xiao standing behind him like a servant today, he regarded Li Xiao as a younger brother, and he was not used to having someone stand behind him.

"Big brother, it's already a great blessing for me to take me in, you treat me as a younger brother, it's your kindness, but I can't break the rules!"

Li Xiao changed his previous laughter and became serious.

Li Yan didn't expect a teenager to be able to say such a thing, although he was smart and clever, but this also required experience, Li Yan had to marvel at his learning ability.

Li Yan saw that he was resolute, so he had to sigh, and he didn't force it anymore, but just touched his head affectionately, lowered his head and smiled at him.

"You kid is a big ghost!"

Li Xiao smiled, his eyes overflowing with admiration!

They walked towards the inn and did not continue shopping as usual, and Li Yan did not expect to find Zhang Liang.

The day of Qin Shi Huang's eastward journey is approaching day by day, and Li Yan should also arrange a way back for Li Xiao, and he has to think about how to arrange it. At first, he wanted to hand him over to Chen Ping and them, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not appropriate, there were too many people who had seen them together in Yangwu County, in case there was any accident, Li Xiao would be very dangerous, and it would also bring unnecessary trouble to Chen Ping and them.

Seeing Li Yan frowning and thinking about things, Li Xiao followed him quietly and obediently, his big eyes flickering, very cute.

Soon they arrived at the inn, and when they entered the inn, they were stopped by the innkeeper, who had a delicately made bamboo board in his hand.

"The guest officer is here, this is an invitation sent by Zhang's house."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper handed over the bamboo board with both hands.

Li Yan took the bamboo board, and saw that the bamboo board was polished very smooth, and the production was very exquisite, with several small red seals written in cinnabar.

Now Li Yan already knows a lot of fonts, and Xiao Seal is not a problem for him, it is written like this: "Please Li Gongzi to come to the cold house tomorrow!" Zhang Cang"

Li Yan couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what would it be like for this Zhang Cang to invite him to his house?

The shopkeeper saw that Li Yan was puzzled, so he explained: "Master Zhang came early in the morning, saying that he was looking for you to have something important, and after waiting for you for a long time, he left this invitation when he saw that he hadn't come back yet."

Li Yan was even more puzzled in his heart, why did he come to find him in person? Li Yan would not feel good about himself and think that he was full of anger and a halo on his head, which attracted him to make friends with him, after all, they just met in Pingshui.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Did you say what it was?"

The shopkeeper said, "No! Just leave this invitation! ”

Li Yan waved his hand to let the innkeeper retreat, and led Li Xiao back to the guest room.

Since you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it, and you'll know when you go tomorrow.

Li Yan thought to himself, he had made Zhang Liang a little nervous. He is a dignified imperial official, and he is highly respected in Yangwu, although he will not take the initiative to make friends with himself, but he will definitely not harm himself.

At this time, a flash of lightning flashed in Li Yan's heart, yesterday Wei Xiaotian said that he was a famous arithmetic, wouldn't it be because he had calculated that elementary school math problem?

Li Yan has seven or eight points in his heart!

Back in the room, Li Yan sent Li Xiao to study, and he began to plan Zhang Liang's affairs again.

It seems that Li Xiao can only be sent to the south bank of the Guandu River in advance, only in this way will he be safe.

Once something happens to him, let him go to Xiapi. Historically, there was no accident in this Bolangsha incident, and he hid in Xiapi for more than ten years afterwards, and he had to let his cheap big brother take care of him.

When people are thinking, they always don't feel the passage of time, and suddenly feel hungry, Li Yan realized that it was time for dinner before he knew it.

"Xiao'er, are you hungry?"

"Hungry!"

Li Xiao raised his head from the sea of books, touched his stomach with his little hand, and said that he was hungry!

"Let's go, big brother will take you to eat something delicious!"

"Yay! Big Brother Wise! I've been hungry for a long time! ”

Li Xiao's exaggerated expression caused Li Yan to burst into laughter.

As they walked, Li Yan asked, "What did you gain from studying today?"

Hearing Li Yan ask about his homework, Li Xiao's little face became serious.

"Big brother, it is said in the military book that for a country to be strong and invincible, the army must be economically rich and strong, and the politics must be clear, but how to do it? It's so hard, it's just an ideal! ”

Li Yan didn't expect that Li Xiao not only understood the literal meaning and drew inferences from others, but also had his own ideas.

"Very good, there is progress! Yes, if the country wants to be truly prosperous and strong, everyone must have land to cultivate and everyone to eat; If we want to be politically clear, we must be free from corruption, officials think what the people think, and everyone has no selfish motives. ”

Saying that, Li Yan fell into contemplation again, Qin Shi Huang actually did a good job, the law is strict, no official dares to fill his own pockets, but this has infringed on the interests of most nobles, especially the interests of the nobles of the other six countries, and the bane of the Qin Dynasty has been planted.

Suddenly, Li Yan heard a commotion, and there was a familiar voice among them.

Li Yan looked intently, and saw a bearded man arguing with the innkeeper, the bearded man's face was red due to anxiety, and his hands and feet seemed to explain something.

Who is this bearded man, not a giant tiger? It's really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it, this bearded man is a giant tiger.

Li Yan saw that there were seven or eight big men with sticks behind the shopkeeper, but they didn't dare to step forward when they saw that the bearded man was burly and his eyes were fierce.

The giant tiger was not in danger for the time being, and Li Yan did not rush forward to recognize him. Because it was too far away and too noisy, Li Yan couldn't hear what they were arguing about?! He called Xiao Er, and when he asked, he found out that it was the giant tiger who drank and didn't give money!

It turns out that this giant tiger is eating the overlord meal!

Li Yan stepped forward to recognize the giant tiger and helped him solve this matter. But frowning and thinking about it, he stopped again.

He muttered in the ear of the shopkeeper for a while, and took out some silver from his bosom and handed it to him.

The shopkeeper hurriedly passed a few big men, ran to the shopkeeper's side, whispered a few words in the shopkeeper's ear, and finally handed the silver into the hands of the shopkeeper.
