That day, in the midst of the fighting in the wilderness, that shout was so clear. It was precisely after listening to the reminder from the other side that Li Xu, Liu Hongji and others fought their way out of the chaotic army and escaped from life. Everyone guessed who was the main messenger behind the scenes who sent dozens of people to shout in unison on the bank of the river, and Liu Hongji said afterwards that Li Jiancheng was not a person with quick wisdom, and this idea was definitely not something he came up with. And the old general Yuwenshu is said to have fainted on the river beach as soon as he saw his son's figure.

"Run, flee north, Zhong Jian, flee north-" Li Xu vaguely heard the shouts of the dozens of people mixed with an anxious female voice. Every time he woke up from a nightmare, the sound echoed in his ears over and over again. Today, until he led his mount out of the house, the shouts lingered and refused to disperse.

He remembered the number of times Li Wan'er had come to visit everyone during the period when he and Liu Hongji, Wu Shitong and others were recuperating from their injuries in western Liaoning. She either followed behind Li Jiancheng or walked with Li Shimin, and every time she came, she rarely spoke, just listened to the men talk about the gains and losses of the Liaodong war for a while, and then got up silently and walked out. Miss Li Er's sudden girlishness made everyone very puzzled, and Wu Shi Tong also secretly joked, saying that the eighteen changes of the female university, no matter who the girl grows up to be married, she will suddenly change from a lion to a sheep.

Xuzi didn't dare to guess that Li Wan'er's gentleness was because of himself, although deep down he longed for the truth. Li Wan'er likes to find Li Xu to practice martial arts and chat, which is something that the entire grain protection army knows. But Li Wan'er likes everything that can arouse her curiosity, such as kittens, dogs, horses, cattle and sheep with strange coats, and even the customs outside the plug, the clothes of the Khitan people, and the clothes of the Tatar people. She was just inadvertently curious about Xuzi. Liu Hongji once warned everyone when they chewed their tongues, and Li Xu also vaguely agreed with this view.

She's just curious, well, curious. Asahiko comforted herself over and over again. 'The environment of the two families is so different, the daughter of the Guogong family is curious about the lives of the people, it is not a big deal! As for whether these reasons could fool him, Xuzi tried not to speculate.

In the February breeze, the young man full of sunshine was thinking about his thoughts, and at the same time he walked confidently to the restaurant opened by his uncle. I'm going to Liaodong soon, and he wants to say goodbye to his uncle. Uncle Baosheng has no son, and he has always regarded Xuzi as his own.

There is an inn that has become very lively today. Since the news spread that Li Xu was appreciated by the Duke of the Dynasty, the big and small gangsters of the yamen led by Brother Zhao rarely came to fight the autumn breeze again, and some ruffians who bullied Zhang Baosheng for being old and childless also paid off the wine debts owed for several years in a proper manner. Without these extra expenses, Uncle Baosheng's purse gradually plumped. He hired a clever guy in time, hired a chef who resigned from the city restaurant, and under the painstaking management, the whole inn slowly came back to life.

In Li Xu's eyes, the complexion on his uncle's face was much better than back then, and even Zhang Liu's performance with a concubine was not as shocking as before. Seeing his nephew enter the door, Zhang Liu hurriedly got up to pour tea, and as he walked, he whispered, "Xu Guan, hurry up and come in and sit." Your uncle was thinking of sending someone to find you, and yesterday afternoon a noble man brought you a gift! ”

"Noble?" Li Xu asked in surprise. When he looked up at his uncle, he found that his uncle had squinted his eyes, looking at himself endlessly like a treasure.

"Last night, when it was almost close, a strange person came!" Zhang Baosheng pulled his nephew to sit down and explained slowly. "As soon as he entered the door, he didn't order, and first asked if the owner of this hotel was Li Xu's uncle!"

"How can there be such a reckless person?" Li Xu smiled and said. This style of acting is very similar to a few of his friends in the food protection army. Suddenly, he realized that those laissez-faire friends had left forever, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy again.

"I told him, he ordered wine and food, invited me to sit down and eat together, and kept asking you how you were doing!" Uncle Baosheng smugly nagged. Because of his nephew, he is respected by others, and it is even happier than the other party directly respecting himself.

"Could it be that Lao Qi and they are still alive?" Li Xu was taken aback by the thought that suddenly popped up in his heart, and quickly interrupted his uncle's words, and asked eagerly: "Did he tell you his name?" Didn't say where he went? ”

"I also thought it was strange to ask him his name, but he refused to say, but said that he had a friend who knew you very well, so he specially ordered him to bring you a gift. I asked him for the name of his friend, and he said you would know it when you saw the gift. ”

After that, Uncle Baosheng jumped out of the chair and dragged the confused Li Xu to the backyard to look at the gifts. Even Yanyan didn't appreciate the tea she had boiled, so she was so angry that she stood at the door of the house and scolded: "At such an old age, you don't have the energy to stop?" As soon as Xu Guan entered the door, you didn't even give him saliva to drink......."

"Drink it later, what do you know about your woman's family. Xuguan's friend must have something to ask for, and he was afraid that he wouldn't accept the gift, so he thought of such a strange way. As he spoke, Uncle Baosheng had already walked into the courtyard, took out a long oilcloth package from under the pergola, and held it in front of Li Xu with both hands.

"What's inside, I didn't dare open it for you. I guess he might be the son of a big family in the neighborhood, and he has heard of your reputation, so he wants to make friends with you. But......" Uncle Baosheng frowned sharply, and he reversed his own statement again, "If he didn't know you before, how would he know his uncle's name?" ”

"I'm asking around! Xu Qi is so good now! Yi County was the size of a palm, and asked around, who didn't know who his uncle was! Zhang Liu also chased after her, obviously, she was just as curious about the mysterious gift given by the mysterious person.

Being tossed over and over again by his uncle and Yanyan, Li Xu also felt that things were a little strange in his heart. Carefully untied the velvet rope on the package, and unfolded a thick layer of arrowroot, two felts, and what caught the eye was a long black stick.

He suppressed his excitement, lifted the long stick with both hands, and then gently shook off the wool wrapped around the top of the stick, and a horse lance eight feet long, with a black rod and silver blade, immediately crossed in front of the three of them.

"What a lance!" Zhang Baosheng blurted out praise, reached out and touched the handle of the lance, flicked it, and the feeling between his fingers was as warm as jade.

"I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money! Xu Guan is just in need of it! "Even if you don't know how to distinguish weapons, you can see from the warm color of the lance that this thing is not an extraordinary product.

Li Xu didn't answer the words of the two elders, and carefully held the mallet, as if he was holding a priceless treasure in his palm. In an instant, the past that Xu Dayan experienced together outside the plug appeared in front of him. The second battle of Liao is about to start again, what is Xu Dayan doing now? If he is with his friends, he should point out the country and predict the success or failure of this battle.

"Asahiko, Asahiko!" Zhang Baosheng shouted cautiously. The nephew's suddenly solemn expression made the old man very uneasy, Xu Guan is now a person in the officialdom, and the people in the officialdom have the rules of the officialdom, and he accepts such a heavy gift for him for no reason, I am afraid that it will cause him a lot of trouble.......

"Otherwise, wrap this thing up. When you see that man again, tell your uncle to return him!" Zhang Liu was far sharper than her husband, stepped forward and suggested loudly.

"No, it was sent by a friend I haven't seen for a long time. So it's a little flustered! Li Xu freed up a hand, scratched his head, and explained apologetically to the two elders.

"Your friend seems to be rich, doesn't he?" Yanyan was shocked for a moment and asked tentatively.

"Very rich and very creditable!" Li Xu nodded and replied. Then he eagerly asked his uncle, "Did he say where the person who carried the gift has gone now?" How's life going? ”

"No, I didn't say it. The man was so strange that he finished eating, dropped his gift and a hanging copper coin, and hurried away. I said I wouldn't need so much, but he refused to take the money back! Zhang Baosheng and his wife looked at each other a little embarrassed and replied in unison.

Eat a meal and reward a penny, this is the most extravagant drinker they have ever seen in their lives. By the time the two of them and Runtang came to their senses from the shock and chased them out, the man had already gone far away. Sensei said that he didn't even tell the details of the person who gave the gift, and even his own whereabouts.

It is estimated that he was in a hurry and didn't bother to say anything. The person who gave the gift was Xu Maogong, the one who was tall and cleanly dressed in the caravan when I left home last time! Li Xu saw the embarrassment of the two elders, stroked the lance, and whispered to relieve the siege for the two.

"Oh, I remember, it's the son of the Xu family, and the shops are all over the house!" Uncle Baosheng covered the back of his head and said as if he suddenly realized, "Didn't he go out with you?" Didn't join the army with you? ”

"He said that the battle of Liaodong was defeated and unwon, so he refused to go with me!" Li Xu kindly covered up his and Xu Dayan's experience outside the plug.

"It turned out that Xu Gongzi entrusted someone to give gifts, no wonder he was so generous. They are out-and-out wealthy families, unlike that five children, who don't have much money in hand, and are full of rich people everywhere! Zhang Liu also remembered the blue-shirted young man who had appeared in his house that day, and in addition to admiring, he did not forget to hit the Zhang family's Xiaowu by the way. Since he came back from Liaodong last year, this five children have taken people to the restaurant for dinner, and they refused to pay the full bill every time, relying on Uncle Baosheng to give him a discount.

"Don't talk nonsense, the fifth baby has just come out, and I'm happy!" Zhang Baosheng had a kind temperament, and he didn't want to talk about the younger generation behind his back, so he glared at his wife and scolded him in a low voice.

He didn't have much authority in front of his wife, so it was good not to stare at him, but his glaring hooked Zhang Liu's anger. Regardless of the nephew in front of him, Baosheng raised his willow eyebrows, opened his round apricot eyes, and retorted loudly: "What is nonsense, you calculate, since he came back in the winter solstice month last year, until noon the day before yesterday, how many times he has met friends with us, and how many times he has played the autumn wind." said that he was happy, and everyone Xu Guan became a captain, and he didn't see any garlic in front of his classmates and friends! He is good, relying on the care of Xu Guan, he mixed up with the team, so he flaunted around, for fear that others would not know that he was an official! ”

"You, you be quiet, don't, don't let the guests in the front yard hear!" Zhang Baosheng looked at Li Xu, who looked embarrassed, and begged his wife in a low voice.

"If you hear it, you hear it, he is a big disguiser!" She snorted angrily and threw down her uncle and nephew, and pulled her legs into the back room.

"Alas, that's your temper!" Zhang Baosheng was helpless, and explained to his nephew with a red face. Li Xu felt that the scene in front of him was extremely warm, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Fifth brother is indeed too much, one day I saw him and asked him to repay the money." He owes so much, I don't need to cushion some for him first! ”

"No, you don't have to pay it back. A little food and wine is not worth a few! Listening to his nephew's words, Zhang Baosheng waved his hand again and again. As if remembering something, he paused and continued: "Why haven't I seen you invite your classmates and division commanders? Please please, don't let people say that you just got fame and forgot about your friends! ”

"I'm in Upper Valley County, I don't have any friends!" Li Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly. At that time, because his family was relatively poor, few people in the entire county school were willing to talk to him. The only person who has been kind to him is his mentor Master Yang, but the other party doesn't know where he has gone now. After Li Xu came back, he made a special trip to the county school to visit his teacher, but he had no choice but to pounce, and several other masters in the county school said that Teacher Yang left quietly, and no one could figure out where he went.

Thinking of this, Xu Zi tugged at Zhang Baosheng's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, have you heard where Master Yang went?" ”

"You said that Old Master Yang, before leaving, he bought a few jars of wine from me, and said that he would relieve boredom and drink on the way." Zhang Baosheng patted his head and tried to recall. "I talked to him a few times and asked him where he was going. He said that at the invitation of the son of the deceased, he went to work as a staff member for others. Let me wait for you to come back and say hello to you! Look at my memory, how can I forget such a big thing! ”

"Uncle is busy, it doesn't matter, think slowly!" Li Xu was afraid that Zhang Baosheng would be in a hurry and confused, so he forgot the key words left by Master Yang, and hurriedly comforted the old man in a low voice.

"He said that the career is difficult, and you want to do it yourself. I'd rather do personnel for the common people, don't ring the gong for the king! Zhang Baosheng has a good memory, and vaguely said that Yang Fuzi's message, "He also said that it will be difficult to meet each other in the future, so you don't have to look for him." What else do you say about the things in the world, nine times out of ten those who are unsatisfactory, it may not be interesting to force it, it is better to take a step back and open the sky! ”

"Nine times out of ten, those who are not satisfied!" Li Xu savored Old Master Yang's message and was speechless for a while. The one who can make Master Yang help despite such an age should be the son of Yang Su, the Duke of Yue. Only Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has the friendship of the son of the deceased.

But what did he do when he went all the way to find Master Yang? The young man stroked the lance in his hand, and the waves in his heart rolled!
