Chapter 3 I am born to be useful

The river wind blew, and the fog on the river was hazy, and the whole world seemed to become not so clear. The boat docked at the river and did not start, because the weather was really not suitable for the boat to sail on the river.

In the small cabin, Li Kuan and Tianxiang sat around the small table, with a small charcoal stove on the table, and a copper bowl on top of it. Inside was clear water, and now it was bubbling to the bone.

"Master, it's okay!" Tianxiang lifted the delicate jade wine jug on the table and asked Li Kuan.

"Hmm!" Li Kuan nodded in agreement, the folding fan in his hand was unfolded, and the twisted handwriting on it was revealed, the words were very ugly, but the content of the writing was very meaningful, only to see the white rice paper made of zuò on the fan surface, and two verses were written: 'I once whipped a famous horse because of drunkenness, lest I be amorous and tired of beauties'.

There was a moment of shaking the folding fan in his hand, Li Kuan closed his eyes, the sky-blue robe covered his slender body, the slightly thin shoulders propped up the placket, and the hair on his head was unruly tied at the back of his head, so it was scattered, not tied into a bun, and it seemed to have a little sense of debauchery.

White mist shrouded the surface of the river, like a veil covering the face of the beautiful river. For a while, none of the three people in the cabin spoke, and they all seemed quiet. Only the sound of shallow breathing echoed.

………………………………

Chang'an City, the towering city wall is still majestic and majestic, the whole city has not become different because of whose departure, the people are still busy with their livelihoods, and the ministers are still within the scope of their respective duties. Doing their own thing. After reviewing the last piece of music, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the melody from the Yuezhou Assassin History asking the imperial court to send troops to suppress the Yueyang water thieves, and put it in the stack of recitals that needed Li Eryu's approval. Then get up and get ready to move your sore body.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the province under the door, he met the eldest grandson chong who came to visit, and now the eldest grandson chong has indeed changed a lot, these days, he has not gone out to spend time drinking, and those bad friends in the past have rarely interacted. Study the scriptures of the saints at home all day long. also because of his transformation, Li Er also looked at him differently. He was allowed to enter and leave the palace freely, but only in certain areas, and it was impossible for him to enter the harem. Except for going to visit his aunt, Empress Changsun. But the province of the eldest grandson Wuji's office is not among the prohibitions. So these days, there is an extra young figure in the palace.

The eldest grandson Chong often went in and out of the palace to visit his father, and from time to time brought some food made by the chef of the house. Send it to my father. Don't look at the eldest grandson Wuji, who is ranked as the third duke. The official residence is a product, but when I work in the palace, there is no lunch. Li Er and Empress Changsun's thrifty style prevailed in the palace, and the people in the palace only ate two meals a day, which was very different from the three meals a day of the noble family. Of course, Li Kuan is an exception.

"Father!" The eldest grandson rushed to the eldest grandson Wuji and saluted.

"Chong'er, why are you here again, you don't study at home, what's the reason for always running to the palace?" The eldest grandson Wuji held his father's shelf. Although he was moved in his heart, he still taught himself a lesson to this son who had high hopes.

"My father is very old, how can I leave three meals a day behind. Although the state affairs are heavy, the body cannot be underestimated, if the body collapses, how to deal with this state affairs? "Eldest Sun Chong doesn't contradict it, but just cares about Eldest Sun Wuji's body.

"Alas! You! Don't think that your father doesn't know what you think in your heart, but you don't know what kind of character your cousin is, if she doesn't want to, she will do anything. You have to work harder, don't play small things like this. Although the king of Chu is out of Beijing, and now he doesn't know where he has gone, but you can't ignore it. Besides, the biggest beneficiary of learning these things is actually you. The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and admonished.

"The child knows, but he just can't help it! Father, why did Cousin Lizhi refuse like this? In the past, the relationship between us was not very bad, and everyone got along very well! Changsun Chong was a little confused, before the marriage between the two was rumored, Li Lizhen was still very respectful to Changsun Chong, because Changsun Chong was her cousin after all, and he was not bad.

"This, in fact, you can't blame your cousin, no one is right or wrong in this matter, maybe it's because the standard of her husband in her heart doesn't match you, and she can't accept it for a while!" The eldest grandson Wuji is like a human being, how can he not see that in Li Li's heart, the criteria for choosing a son-in-law are actually according to Li Kuan. But how can there be so many guys like Li Kuan in the world. can be literate and martial, and has so many strange ideas.

But Li Lizhi has been with such a person for many years, and her vision has unconsciously improved to a very high level. For the eldest grandson Chong, who is not able to do anything, and only relies on his father's shadow to make a living, he can't look down on it. That's why there was such a fierce reaction, of course, there were even factors such as Li Liqian's young age and lack of ability to think about things.

"Father, where did you say that this King of Chu went out of Beijing quietly like this? And what will they do? Changsun Chong asked with some curiosity, for Li Kuan, it is not the first time that Changsun Chong has dealt with him, in the past, Li Kuan entangled a group of military generals in Chang'an City, and they fought against each other with the gentlemen of the Wenchen family on their side, and there were many things to tear down each other. And every time it is their side that loses, because every time the generals have all kinds of strange bad ideas, like a hidden trap, they fall into it if they are not careful, and then they are beaten by Haibian like a water dog. Therefore, in the heart of Changsun Chong, he has always maintained a great vigilance against Li Kuan. He now wanted to know where Li Kuan had gone, what he had done, and whether it would have an impact on the imperial examination he was preparing for this fall.

"This, my father doesn't know, it's just that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been traveling for almost half a month, but there has been no news from local officials, it seems that he has traveled relatively remotely, which may be a good thing. We haven't received any news, which means that it is difficult for His Royal Highness the King of Chu to get the news of the capital, so it will be of great benefit to the plan that is about to enter the preparation next. The eldest grandson Wuji replied.

Just when the father and son of the eldest grandson family were talking. In the Lizheng Palace, Li Er was also paying attention to Li Kuan's movements. Unlike the eldest grandson Wuji, who has no news, Li Er knows very well.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu is now on the territory of the Cui clan in Qinghe, and he has been lingering for several days, and he takes his maids to tour the mountains and rivers every day, I don't know what His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants to do." The dark one is reporting.

"You didn't find out, did you?" Li Er nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked.

"This. I'm afraid His Royal Highness the King of Chu has already noticed it! "There are some sweat stains on the door of the dark head, as the highest martial arts master in Datang now. It has reached the point where it is not invaded by cold and heat, but because of Li Er's short question, he broke out in a cold sweat. Mainly because of Li Kuan's table xiàn. This His Royal Highness the King of Chu is really incomprehensible, maybe the current His Royal Highness the King of Chu is not his opponent, but his martial arts and spiritual sense have made Dark Yi feel ashamed.

Since the last time in the Turkic King's Tent, the Dark One has joined forces with another master to besiege and kill the first master of the Turks, Taishang. It took him three months to recuperate. But after Hui fù came over, he saw Li Kuan, a little thirteen-year-old child, with his vision, it was enough to see Li Kuan's current martial arts height, although he did not see Li Kuan's full strength, but he could also speculate a lot of things, every morning to get up and practice in the morning, that long breathing, and a move and a style of boxing show that this little prince has undoubtedly reached the point of reaching the peak on the way. Compared with Cheng Zhijie, Hou Junji. Liu Hongji and other first-class generals in the army are not inferior in the slightest. Moreover, the set of boxing techniques that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had to practice every day had completely revealed another kind of grandeur in the drill at this time.

There is no superfluous action at all in one move, all for the sake of killing, and the transformation between each move is aimed at the enemy's vital point, as long as the move is definitely lost, as long as it hits, it must not die and remove half a life. And this kind of boxing technique has been observed for more than ten years, and even sometimes he will imitate it, and the effect is very good, but after all, he is a person with a crippled body, and the effect of this fierce and uncast boxing technique in his hands is so much weaker, and he has not yet obtained the essence of it, and it only has its shape, not its spirit.

This time Li Kuan went out of Beijing, and secretly sent people to keep an eye on him, but not long after he left the city, the people sent out were discovered, and he almost fought with Li Kuan. Dark One had to change his manpower, and replaced Dark Three, who was now the best at concealment, in order to keep up with Li Kuan without being discovered.

"Did you find it? Fortunately, I also want to see the methods of this hidden scientist. Dark one, you go in person, secretly stare at this kid, he will definitely have other actions! Li Er commanded.

"Slaves obey!" Darkness bowed and retreated.

………………

Thanh Ha County, located in what is now Ho Ha, North Province, Ho County. It's not a very big city, it's not very populous, it's much more depressed than Chang'an, but it's also the richest area in the Guanzhong land, with fertile farmland and endless fields where verdant wheat is grown. The peasants worked hard, but most of the grain grown in a year had to be handed over, not to the imperial court, but to the big family here, the Qinghe Cui family. This land has been entrenched and managed by this family for hundreds of years. Now it's like a country within a country.

For hundreds of years, they used to regard this place as their own land, not the imperial court, because no matter which dynasty was in power, they needed to win them over, and they would divide this land for them as food. So now in this land, their orders are more effective than the emperor's orders. Of course, this is also something they imagine in their own hearts, and they dare not say it. This family has a deep heritage, not to mention the high-ranking officials and ministers who have been produced from previous generations, and now there are many children of the Cui family in Li Tang's court, and they all control some real power departments, which is also one of their dependences.

But now in the ancestral hall of the Cui family, the old men with the highest standing in the Cui family are sitting together and arguing fiercely. (To be continued......)
