Sitting in front of the candlelight, I accidentally saw the blind old mother's rickety back and silver hair, and two lovely children were playing with threads next to their grandmother, and this young man named Li Xiaozhi was instantly confused.

Indeed, if it weren't for the cannibal marrow silverfish who took a fancy to the family business left by his deceased father and persecuted them in every possible way, his family might be living happily ever after.

Joining the White Lotus Sect is to one day be able to regain his own family business.

But as soon as he thought that once what he was doing failed, it would be a great crime to quarrel and exterminate the clan, his heart began to become unfirm again.

A pair of lovely children have not enjoyed the beauty of this flowery world, are they going to become dead souls because of my own selfishness? The old mother has lived a lot of years, and she has cried blindly because of the family business, can't she even live 10,000 years?

What exactly should I do?

Du Shanbai and Mu Tong are not good people, I got on their thief ship, and if I quit halfway, they will inevitably harm my family.

But what should I do if the matter is revealed?

After thinking about it, he couldn't think of a foolproof solution.

The old servant walked over and asked worriedly, "Young master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Xiaozhi said a little unnaturally: "No, it's nothing, uncle, you're tired for a day, if it's okay, go and rest early!" ”

The hunchbacked old servant sighed, but instead of leaving, he sat down beside Li Xiaozhi: "Alas, young master, you grew up watching the old slave, many times, you don't need to say what you think, the old slave can see it from your expression." That Du Gongzi and Mu Gongzi are not good people at first glance, but they embarrassed you when they looked for you today? ”

In Li Xiaozhi's eyes, this hunchbacked old servant is not only the middle shop in the family, but also his relatives.

When he was young, he said a lot of unspeakable things to his old servant.

Now, when he encounters difficulties, he really doesn't know whether to talk about his confusion or not.

"The moonlight is very beautiful tonight, can the son have leisure to enjoy the moon together?" The old servant was very considerate and made suggestions.

Both of them were afraid that the old woman with a keen sense of hearing would hear something that she shouldn't have heard.

Walking out of the door, the old man who pretended to be a serious weaver suddenly put down the work in his hand and sighed leisurely.

Others think she doesn't know anything, but in fact she knows everything and doesn't say it, just to keep her son from worrying.

"Uncle, I joined the White Lotus Sect." After walking more than a dozen steps, Li Xiaozhi opened the conversation.

The old servant was shocked: "What? Young Master, you are a scholar, don't you know what this White Lotus Sect does! "Oh, it's bad now, these people have lost their conscience, but they are not good people."

"Uncle, now that I am riding a tiger, they want to rebel, but this is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, I don't dare, and I am afraid that they will retaliate." Li Xiaozhi expressed the worry in his heart.

The hunchbacked old servant patted Li Xiaozhi on the shoulder and said, "Young master, do you want to rebel?" If you want to rebel, the old slave will throw away this hundred and dozens of catties, and he will follow the young master all the way to the black. If you don't want to rebel, the old slave doesn't want this life, and you have to go to the person surnamed Du and the surname Mu to ask for an explanation. ”

Li Xiaozhi grabbed the old servant with a look of righteous indignation, and said hurriedly: "Uncle, don't do this, neither of them is easy to provoke." I'm at a loss right now, and I don't know what I'm going to do to protect my family. Follow them to rebel, once the defeat is the end of the death of the whole family, if you don't follow them, they will not let us go. ”

"Young Master, why don't we go! Leave Datong. "The hunchbacked old servant came up with an idea.

Li Xiaozhi shook his head and said: "The world is so big, there is no place for me Li Xiaozhi." Their power should not be underestimated, this Datong is now under martial law in the whole city, and it is not a day or two that they are allowed to enter or leave. The battle with the Tartars is far from over, and this is just the beginning. The Dingbian Marquis of the imperial court has a lot of ambitions, and if he doesn't completely hurt the tartar, this marquis will not leave Datong so easily.

Immediately, the White Lotus Sect will plan a rebellion, and once the imperial court reacts or provokes the marquis, as long as it is related to the White Lotus Sect, it will be purged.

We can't get out. ”

The hunchbacked old servant paced back and forth restlessly: "Then what should we do, how is this good." “

From beginning to end, the old servant never said a word to blame Li Xiaozhi.

In fact, in the old servant's heart, Li Xiaozhi is no different from his child.

Suddenly, the old servant's eyes lit up: "By the way, young master, we can take dangerous moves." Since the marquis of the court wants to fight with the Tartars, his subordinates are bound to be important. Childe, you are a talented person who has learned from heaven and earth, but what you have learned has not bloomed for the time being. Why not go to him? At that time, as long as the son makes some contributions, with that person's character, he will definitely intercede for the childe.

Moreover, the barracks was a marked place of cover, and the people of the White Lotus Sect could not infiltrate it at all. As long as the marquis's golden mouth is opened, the son can protect the family. ”

Li Xiaozhi suddenly realized, and grabbed the old servant's hands: "Uncle's words, it really made me pause!" ”

He boasted that he had read countless books and had monstrous skills, and he didn't even think through such a simple question, and he still needed an old servant to remind him, all because his heart was already in turmoil.

That night, a hunchbacked old servant left the Li family in disguise overnight.

Li Xiaozhi's decision invisibly saved the lives of his entire family, because he didn't hear the conversation between Du Shanbai and Mu Tong after he left.

Mu Tong, who was very dissatisfied with Li Xiaozhi's reaction, said viciously: "After the matter is completed, this Li Xiaozhi can't stay, and he is timid and timid, and he is not doing big things at all." ”

Du Shanbai nodded approvingly: "What Brother Mu said is extremely true, but now is not the time, after taking Zhang Wenxuan, you and my brother are making calculations."

This Li Xiaozhi is a generous person, and there are some deadly incense people gathered around him, and the people under him are completely different from the people we invited with silver.

This time, Zhang Wenxuan had to rely on his subordinates to attack.

He has an old mother and two children, so he is not suitable for our business at all. ”

"You and he are friends, and if you can't do it then, I'll come." Mu Tong said very simply.

Du Shanbai said: "Don't worry about this wooden brother, he Li Xiaozhi is not my relative, even if he kills a few more, I will not be soft." Hmph, he dared to laugh at Huang Chao if he was Ling Yunzhi, and he dared to laugh at Huang Chao's husband. If a man is alive and does not kill people and set fires, who can accomplish his own deeds.

Brother Mu and look at those official eunuchs in the court, who can be passed down for more than three generations, who is not with blood on their hands.

Hehe, if you want to be in a high position, you have to step on someone else's bones. ”

Mu Tong glanced at Du Shanbai with a complicated expression, and said meaningfully: "Hehe, I hope that Brother Du won't treat me like this when the time comes." ”

Du Shanbai said lightly: "Brother Mu's life-saving ability is still very good, but I, I still need to worry about Brother Mu's ruthlessness when the time comes!" ”

Before they succeeded, the two of them had already begun to fantasize about their future achievements.

They didn't think at all at this time, this time they were dealing with just a marquis of the Ming Dynasty, and the twelve regiments and battalions in the capital alone were not less than fifteen marquis, and Zhang Ru was not one of them.

Both of them thought things too simply.

There was a burst of rampant laughter in the room, which did not subside for a long time.

"My lord, there is someone outside the door asking to see you." After coming back, Meng Fu, who had been listening under Zhang Ru's tent, said loudly outside the military tent.

Zhang Ru put down the wolf hair in his hand, casually took a piece of rice paper without anything to cover the figure painting, and walked to the door of the tent: "What is the origin of the people?"

Meng Fu shook his head and said: "The last general doesn't know, this person has a rickety back, and he is not young anymore, so he wants to see the adult by name." Looking at his footsteps, he didn't look like a martial arts practitioner, and he didn't have any weapons on him. ”

Zhang Ru frowned a little suspiciously, in his impression, he didn't seem to remember that he knew such a number one person.

After thinking about it, he said, "Let's go, take me to see." ”

He is no longer the Hou Ye, and it doesn't matter what his identity is, anyway, he is Qiu Ba now, maybe someone will help him.

In fact, he thought that this old man with a rickety back was a person under Jiang Wei.

It's just that he didn't say it in front of Meng Fu! Now although Meng Fu is under his command, he is not his person yet, but for the time being, because he knows some of his secrets, he can only stay by his side.

This person, after all, is Mu Bin's.

Walking outside the station, I saw an old man squatting under the willow tree from a long distance, the old man kept looking at the door, and as soon as he saw Zhang Ru, he immediately bounced up from the ground.

The two soldiers drew their knives directly, and the old man suddenly knelt on his knees, his head lying on the ground and shouted loudly: "Hou Ye spare his life, Hou Ye spare his life, the grass people have important secrets, and they want to face Hou Ye." ”

Seeing the old man kneeling down and originally planning to turn around, Zhang Ru's heart moved, and he turned his body around and walked slowly towards the old man.

"What does my uncle have to tell the official? But this Datong's parents are incompetent, what did they do to hurt the heavens and reason? Zhang Ru stretched out his hand to help the old man up and asked with a smile.

The old man ignored the dust on his forehead, opened his mouth to speak, and when he saw Meng Fu beside Zhang Ru, he suddenly closed his mouth again.

Seeing this, Meng Fu turned around to leave, but Zhang Ru smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is your own person." ”

Only then did the hunchbacked old man say: "Master Hou, someone from the White Lotus Sect has organized tens of thousands of people with the intention of attacking the station of the Thousand Households in Datong, and the time is just in these few days, please prepare for it as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Ruqi said: "How do you know?" ”

The old man said: "It's not that the grass people know, it's my son-in-law who told me, and now my son-in-law is inconvenient and can't come out, so he can only let the grass people come out to report to the Hou Ye." ”

Zhang Ru said with interest: "Oh, who is your son-in-law, how can he know about the White Lotus Sect?" ”

At this moment, Zhang Ru still didn't believe that the White Lotus Sect would dare to do it to himself with such fanfare, because he believed that Tang Sai'er, who had been working against the imperial court for decades, would not be so stupid.
