Chapter 162: That Kid

The patriarch's face changed, and he immediately rushed into the back hall with his legs outstretched, faster than the hares in the mountains.

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Lu Li: "Where is the Second Highness sacred?" ”

Lu Li shook his head and said he didn't know.

Lily of the valley stepped forward, led the two into the side hall, and ordered the little maid to put tea and snacks on the table.

Su Qingyuan was already so hungry that her intestines were knotted, but she still pretended to be calm and calm, stretched out two fingers to pick up a small piece of snack, and ate it so elegantly.

Lily of the valley stood beside her, wanting to speak several times and then stopping.

Lu Li and Su Qingyuan saw it every time, but they ignored her.

In the end, the unbearable Lily of the Valley took the initiative to speak: "Twenty years ago, the lord and the crown prince were martyred, and the second and third highnesses were young and escaped by the guards, and they have been exiled all these years. - The Second Highness only came back for the first time last year, but the Third Highness never came back even once. ”

Su Qingyuan narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Now that His Royal Highness is back, you can regroup and prepare to return to the country!" ”

Lily of the valley's face changed, and she snorted heavily.

Lu Li frowned: "This Second Highness and the patriarch seem to be a little disagreeable?" Is it because of the poor character of His Second Highness? ”

Lily of the valley lowered her head and said in a deep voice: "It's not just a bad character! He was originally a slave born of a, and he was not worthy of picking up shoes for His Royal Highness! Now that His Royal Highness has not returned, he is first clamoring to form an army and enter the capital...... It's just overwhelming! The god sparrow is still surviving, living in hiding, where is there so much manpower and financial resources for him to squander, and why fight for the life of the whole clan to satisfy his ambitions! ”

Lu Li nodded, and said with emotion: "The current situation of the Divine Sparrow should have been peaceful and recuperating, and it was definitely not the time to fight the army!" ”

Lily of the valley nodded heavily.

Su Qingyuan took advantage of the time for the two of them to speak, happily ate half of the plate of dim sum, and finally raised his head: "The patriarch thinks that he should not be reckless, is it useful?" The other party is the second highness, and it is the master! ”

Lily of the valley stomped her feet angrily: "The matter of our god sparrow, where is your turn to be an outsider to talk more!" ”

Su Qingyuan obediently picked up a piece of snack and gagged her mouth.

Lu Li groaned: "If you talk about high morality, you will naturally recommend the patriarch first. But His Royal Highness was born in a royal family, and the people in the clan had an instinctive awe of him. At this time, if the patriarch tears his face with His Second Highness, his prestige will definitely be greatly reduced. It is not easy to protect the safety of the people of the gods and birds, and at the same time convince the people. ”

Lily of the valley nodded again and again, with tears in her eyes, looking happy to meet her bosom friend.

Su Qingyuan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't swallow the snack in her mouth.

Lu Li thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Forming an army to enter the capital is not an overnight effort; It is even more whimsical to force the emperor to rebuild the country of Shenque with the pressure of large soldiers. In my opinion, the patriarch might as well verbally agree, and after ten or twenty years of tossing by His Second Highness, he will always be discouraged by himself. ”

"You don't understand!" Lily of the valley said hurriedly, "Over the years, the patriarch has been sending people to look for the Third Highness, but every time he is about to find it, the clues will be cut off...... The patriarch suspects that His Royal Highness is playing ghosts! Now the whereabouts of the Third Highness are unknown, if the Second Highness is doing this in the clan, where will there be a foothold for the Third Highness in the future! ”

"They are brothers, they have achievements as brothers, and they should be honored to be younger brothers, why is there no place for them?" Su Qingyuan disagreed.

Lily of the valley glared at her fiercely, not wanting to answer her words.

Lu Li frowned slightly: "Little Divine Sparrow, the country has not been lost for a long time, and the vitality has not recovered, and it is actually whimsical to attack the suzerain?" What hole cards does this Second Highness have, and how dare to act so boldly? ”

Lily of the Valley sneered: "I heard that he did some business in the capital, saved a lot of money, and called himself 'rich and rivaled the country', only if it is true or not!" Even if you are really rich, it is in vain if you can't buy food and soldiers! The most ridiculous thing is that when he came back this time, he brought a newborn baby with Wu blood, saying that the child obeyed the destiny of heaven and could rule the world - hey, what are you doing?! ”

Su Qingyuan didn't know when she had stood up and rushed to the door.

Lu Li hurriedly chased after her and pulled her back, and forced her to the seat.

Su Qingyuan calmed down, grabbed Lu Li's wrist tightly with both hands, and pinched out several blood marks.

Lu Li pressed her shoulders and didn't allow her to move.

After a long time, Su Qingyuan nodded and put down his hand.

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, returned to his place and sat down, pretending to be casual and picking up the original topic again: "It's been seventeen or eighteen years since the fall of the Wu Clan, where will there be a descendant who has just been born?" As for 'obeying the mandate of heaven and ruling the world' - where can the rumors be believed? ”

Lily of the valley stared at Su Qingyuan suspiciously, and frowned: "'The co-lord is coming' is the prophecy of Cihang National Teacher, and there should be no mistake, and the co-master will be born in the Wu Clan is also the result of Cihang National Master's divination." It is because of this that His Royal Highness dares to show off his might, and regards himself as the rightful master of the gods. ”

"However, there is no evidence that his child is really a descendant of the Wu Clan, right?" Su Qingyu's voice trembled a little.

Lily of the valley didn't stare this time, but her attitude was still not friendly: "The patriarchs and elders have already experienced, and that kid does have the blood of the Wu clan. But so what? He had no proof that the boy was destined to be! At that time, there were tens of thousands of Wu people, who can guarantee that they are all dead? Not to mention...... Shenque is a small border country, and he has no ability to dominate the world, if there is really a 'co-master of the world', I am afraid it will be a curse rather than a blessing! Wasn't the Wu Clan a living example back then? If the emperor in the capital knew that the Divine Sparrow had hidden a descendant of the Wu Clan, I am afraid that we would have completely disappeared from this world! ”

"The kid...... Where are you now? Su Qingyuan asked in a hoarse voice.

Lily of the valley looked at her suspiciously, and said for a long time: "Of course it's with His Second Highness!" Is it possible that we can still be here? ”

Su Qingyuan was silent, which made Lily of the Valley stunned.

Lu Li slowly stood up and said calmly: "The people of the world only want to be fed and clothed, but there are always people who do everything possible to provoke wars and trap the people in suffering - since we have bumped into this matter, we can't ignore it." ”

"Are you going to assassinate that child?" Lily of the valley asked hurriedly.

Lu Li was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

Lily of the valley hurriedly said: "Actually, the elders have not moved this thought. It's just that the Second Highness hid the child in the temple, which was heavily guarded, and outsiders couldn't break in at all! Son...... If the son has this heart, he can wait for the patriarch to come back and think about it in the long run! ”

Su Qingyuan stood up with a "whew": "Do you only dare to attack the child?" The one who is ambitious is your damn Second Highness, if you want to kill him, what kind of hero is the idea of beating a child! ”

Lily of the valley was so angry that her nose was crooked.

Lu Li hurriedly pressed Su Qingyuan's shoulder and apologized to Lily of the Valley: "Mrs. Jing is indignant, and her words are a little rude, but the truth is still a little bit. Girl, please think about it, the second highness is ambitious, even if he doesn't have that child, he will still find the rest of the excuses to fight for power and recruit troops. - Therefore, it is useless to kill that child, if you want to keep the people safe, you have to start from the Second Highness. ”

Lily of the valley felt that he was reasonable, and nodded solemnly.

Lu Li said in a deep voice: "I want to meet the people from His Second Highness's side, please don't blame the girl." ”

Lily of the valley hurriedly said: "There is a small ear room next to the back hall, I can take you there quietly!" ”

Lu Li nodded, and was about to go out with Su Qingyuan, but Lily of the Valley stopped him again: "Slow!" This woman can't go! ”

"Why?" Su Qingyuan frowned.

Lily of the valley said confidently: "When a man speaks, how can a woman eavesdrop on the side!" ”

Su Qingyuan glared at her angrily: "Aren't you a woman yourself?" Seeing that you know everything well, you must have eavesdropped on your daily life, right? ”

"You-I'm glad to eavesdrop, this is my home, can you manage it!" Lily of the valley was annoyed and angry.

Lu Li grabbed Su Qingyu's hand and sat down again: "That's it, we can't get used to listening to the things at the foot of the wall, so let's ask Gu Lingxiao to hand over a post to His Second Highness, and go to see him openly tomorrow." ”

Lily of the valley was a little anxious: "Hey, you're not going?" ”

Lu Li lowered his head to help Su Qingyuan wipe the sweat from his forehead, and comforted softly, but he didn't hear Lily of the Valley's question.

Lily of the valley stomped her feet angrily and ran out angrily.

Soon after, the patriarch sent off the guests and came in a hurry, with an unkind face: "The two of you...... Want to see His Royal Highness? ”

Lu Li sat up straight and said calmly: "It's time to go and meet." ”

The patriarch narrowed his eyes, looked at the two of them with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "The old man is only a compassionate and righteous person, and he is also a person who has learned from fame and wealth?" ”

Su Qingyuan laughed "sneering": "Old patriarch, you're not joking, are you?" If we are rare, famous, and rich, we can show our strength in the capital, why do we have to come to your poor country? ”

The patriarch sat down and muttered, "You two are not ordinary people, you must have a plan when you come to this poor country. Could it be that he is actually coming for the legendary 'co-master of the world'? The prince's chest is extraordinary, and he must also have the heart to chase the world? Forgive the old man for saying a lot - it is not known whether the child is the person of destiny, but the second highness will definitely not be able to be the first hero, if the two have the heart to defect, it is better to be cautious. ”

Lu Li listened quietly and was silent for a long time.

Lily of the valley was holding her hands on her chest, gloating.

After the patriarch finished speaking, he looked at Lu Li coldly and waited for a while.

Lu Li had to laugh and said, "The patriarch is too careful. My husband and wife have never seen the Second Highness, how can they follow after him? ”

Lily of the valley sneered beside her: "It's one thing to see whether you've seen it or not, and it's another thing whether you're willing to follow it!" Your woman understands witchcraft, and of course she has nothing to do with the witch clan. Since His Royal Highness has hooked up with someone from the Wu Clan, of course you can also join him! The remnants of your Wu clan, I'm afraid you've already been on the line with the Second Highness, right? ”

The patriarch's expression became more and more solemn: "I actually ignored this! Madame knows the witch clan's snake exorcism technique, and she has a witchcraft secret technique to domesticate the blood knife of a demon - could it be a descendant of the witch clan? The woman who gave birth to the child for His Royal Highness was Madame's? ”

Lily of the valley squeezed her eyes at Su Qingyuan, gloating.

Su Qingyuan glanced at her sideways, and said in a deep voice: "You go out, we have something to say to the patriarch alone!" ”

"Why? This is my home! Lily of the valley was furious.

'Why?' Is it okay to flatten Suzaku-gun? Su Qingyuan stood up, full of momentum.

Lu Li stood up with him and took her hand.

Lily of the valley shivered, and her legs trembled involuntarily.

People who have been in high positions for a long time will naturally sharpen a majestic and noble temperament, which ordinary people can't learn.

Commonly known as "the breath of the emperor".

The patriarch slowly stood up and commanded Lily of the Valley in a deep voice: "You go out first, guard the door, and don't allow anyone to eavesdrop on you—including yourself." ”

Lily of the valley was unwilling, but her legs involuntarily moved outside, walking faster and faster, and she ran out of the door in the blink of an eye.

The patriarch turned around and looked at Su Qingyuan with a solemn expression: "Madame can say it." ”

Su Qingyuan and Lu Li glanced at each other, and said in a deep voice: "Don't hide from the patriarch, I am indeed a descendant of the Wu clan. This time, my husband and I went south to find our son. ”

"Looking for a son?" The patriarch was taken aback, "The child of His Royal Highness is your ......"

Lu Li said coldly: "Not bad." That's our kids. ”

"Not the Second Highness?" The patriarch was shocked.

Lu Li's face darkened.

Su Qingyuan sneered and pouted, "That's interesting!" I suggest that the patriarch find someone to check your second highness's body to see if the thing in his crotch is still there? Why would a normal man steal someone else's child and pretend to be his own? I think he's probably castrated! ”

The patriarch's old face was red and black for a while, and it was very good-looking.

Lu Li pinched Su Qingyu's hand and said in a deep voice: "At the beginning of March, there was chaos in the capital. Jing's wife was giving birth on the night of the rebels' siege of the city, and the child was missing as soon as it was born, and my wife and I had never even seen the child. If we had to meet the guidance of a master, how could we have thought that the child had been taken thousands of miles away and became a tool for gangsters to seize the world! What is the young son? Why is Li Min innocent? ”

The patriarch was moved, and he rested for a long time: "The two of you...... Is this true? ”

Su Qingyuan wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for the children, how could we have a good life and come all the way to you to suffer!" Do you think it's nice to be prey to snakes? ”

Lu Li sat down, calmed down, and said lightly: "I heard that His Royal Highness intends to enter the capital, and even compete in the world, but the patriarch and the elders have no such intention?" ”

The patriarch sighed: "Childe is a person who understands, why do you need to ask more about this matter!" ”

Lu Li hooked the corners of his lips: "With a little god sparrow, it is simply whimsical to enter the capital; As for the world...... Even if it's the turn of a cat and a dog, it won't be the turn of a shameless villain who betrays his brother and kidnaps the son of someone else! ”

"Betraying my brother?" The patriarch was a little puzzled and didn't understand where these four words came from.

Lu Li didn't solve his doubts, and continued: "What the patriarch and the people of the Divine Sparrow are asking for is nothing more than the word 'tranquility'. As long as you choose the right path, it is not difficult to be peaceful, and it is not difficult to restore the country. ”

"Who the hell are you?!" The patriarch was excited, and he couldn't tell whether he was more nervous or more excited.

Lu Li smiled slightly: "We can be the ones who save the Divine Sparrow, and of course we can also be the one who destroys the Divine Sparrow." ”

The patriarch pondered for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, Childe, the people of the Divine Sparrow Clan will do their best to save Ling Lang from the clutches!" ”

Su Qingyuan was excited.

Lu Li helped her sit firmly, and persuaded softly: "Now that I know the whereabouts of the child and know that he is safe and sound, everything else will be easy to do." Just settle down and wait for our children to come back. ”

"How can it be so easy!" Su Qingyuan was worried.

The patriarch muttered: "The Second Highness has made an appointment with the old man and several elders of the clan to meet in the temple tomorrow, and then the two of them will go up the mountain with the old man, and act when the opportunity comes." ”

Lu Li frowned: "He asked you to meet in the temple?" ”

The patriarch nodded: "As long as we don't agree to help him mobilize the people, he won't stop for a day." Tomorrow we are invited to the temple, and I don't know what tricks we are going to play! ”

Lu Li stood up and said in a cold voice: "Since he is ambitious, the patriarch and several elders have obstructed it in every possible way, but I am afraid that there will be no good banquet and no good meeting, and the patriarch and several elders will have to be very careful tomorrow!" ”

"We grew up watching him, and he wasn't so mad." The patriarch shook his head and sighed.

Su Qingyuan couldn't help but sneer.

The patriarch looked up at her, a little dissatisfied.

Lu Li shook his head and said, "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable. ”

The patriarch didn't think so, and Lu Li didn't want to say anything more, so he revealed the topic and talked to him about tomorrow's arrangements.

The patriarch already had to take a risk to bring two outsiders into the temple, so the gold-armored soldiers naturally couldn't follow them openly.

Fortunately, as the emperor's personal guards, they are also good at secretly hiding their tracks, so they just have to find a way to sneak in when the time comes.

The patriarch provided a path to the back mountain, and Lu Li calculated it carefully and felt that it was feasible.

As for what happens after entering the temple, most of it depends on improvisation.

According to the patriarch, the child was placed in a wing of the temple, guarded inside and out, as well as maids, grandmothers, and nurses...... In short, the other party's manpower will definitely not be short.

Lu Li pretended to be meditating on the surface, but he was quite relaxed in his heart.

- Where does he need to clean up the guards, maids, grandmothers, and nurses? You only need to deal with the so-called Second Highness, and everything else will be easy to do!

Su Qingyuan obviously had the same idea: since that Second Highness was an obstacle, it would be better to simply kill him.

Sooner or later, it will be killed.

How could someone like her and Lu Li who held a grudge allow that hellish Second Highness to live in the world? If you don't cut him with a thousand cuts, it's polite!

After agreeing on tomorrow's affairs, the patriarch was reluctant to end the topic, and after thinking for a long time, he finally asked, "...... Can you tell us a little bit about that friend? ”

Su Qingyuan and Lu Li glanced at each other, and hesitated: "That friend has indeed never said his identity in the Divine Sparrow, in case it is not your third highness......

The patriarch hurriedly said: "The one who has the Wuzhi Soul Renewal Pill, even if it is not the Third Highness, must be a child of the royal family, there is no doubt - old and presumptuous, I don't know if the two of you work in Danqing ......"

Su Qingyuan shook her head.

Lu Li groaned for a while, and said with a smile: "It's really unfortunate, neither of us is a Danqing master. However, although the painting skills are clumsy, you can still see the nose and eyes when you draw a portrait. ”

The patriarch was overjoyed, hurriedly walked to the table and spread out the pen and paper in person, and looked at Lu Li with a blank eye.

The latter smiled calmly, took the brush, and traced it in detail on the paper.

Su Qingyuan quickly recognized it: he painted Xiao Lizi's face, but it was obviously beautified a lot, and his outfit was also painted like an ordinary rich child, and he did not show the characteristics of half of the palace attendants.

The patriarch looked at him in a daze, and suddenly clasped his hands together, and the old tears were in tears: "It's the Third Highness, there will be no mistake - there will be no mistake!" God is pitiful, I am glad that he has grown up safely and soundly, and he is still born so handsome......"

Su Qingyuan watched Lu Li put down the pen, then walked over and grabbed his sleeve.

Her heart is very uncomfortable, I don't know how Lu Li feels?

Safe? I'm afraid it's a joke.

That person, Su Qingyuan has been annoyed, hated, resented, and resented, although he has never dreamed of it, but he still can't forget it.

The man, dead.

As Aunt Nian and Luo Xia said, he could have saved himself with elixir, but he gave it to her.

Su Qingyuan was gloomy for a long time, and found that he seemed to hate him even more.

With such a heavy debt of affection, she really can't bear it!

An inconspicuous little eunuch was once the beloved son of the lord of the Divine Sparrow.

But how can there be such a bastard in the world? If you want to take revenge, you should take revenge, if you want to be a bad guy, you should be a bad person, why did he choose to be a hero......

Su Qingyuan felt a little itchy in her throat, so she lay on Lu Li's shoulder and coughed lowly.

Lu Li gently patted her back and didn't say much.

The patriarch finally took his eyes back from the portrait, wiped his tears and asked with a smile: "Third Highness, he ...... How have you been all these years? ”

Lu Li was silent for a moment, and slowly shook his head: "To be honest, it's not good." ”

The patriarch smiled bitterly: "Yes." How can I live well when I have suffered great changes since I was a child? It's a blessing to grow up safely......"

Lu Li sighed and changed the subject: "Your Second Highness, have you ever studied divination?" ”

The patriarch nodded and sighed: "The second highness has a good talent for divination, but the third highness is not familiar with this, but is very interested in charming......"

Speaking of this, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, looked up at Su Qingyuan, and stopped talking.

Lu Li knew the doubts in his heart, but he only pretended not to know, lowered his head and asked Su Qingyuan softly, "Xiao Li...... Is it possible that the 'senior brother' he is talking about is this second highness? ”

Su Qingyuan said in a hoarse voice: "Maybe." ”

Aunt Nian is connected with Xiao Lizi's senior brother, and now the child appears in the hands of His Second Highness, so "Senior Brother" and "Second Highness" are most likely the same person.

In this way, the matter is clear.

The patriarch frowned beside him and said, "The two highnesses did worship the same master when they were young, and it is not inappropriate to call them senior brothers. But...... In this way, the two Highnesses have always been together? His Second Highness has obstructed us from finding His Third Highness many times, and after coming back this time, he insisted that he didn't know the whereabouts of His Third Highness - the wolf's ambition was clearly revealed! ”

Lu Li cleared up the known news in his heart, and secretly made some kind of not very kind decision.
