Li Yan didn't answer or enter the house in a hurry, just stared at Cao Yongchang: "Is the water picked?" Have you washed the dishes? Finished chopping firewood? ”

"Picked, washed, split ......"

Cao Yongchang was in a state of disarray.

Li Yan glanced at the axe in his hand and said, "Chop it." ”

"Oh."

Cao Yongchang wiped his head and was about to leave.

"Chang'er, take this."

Cha Xiaodao wrapped the two oiled papers in his hand to Cao Yongchang, and inside were the comments and toys he bought along the street.

"Go ahead."

Cao Yongchang ran away, and Cha Xiaodao asked, "You just taught him like this?" We can't stay for a few months when we are full, so it matters to teach him to defend himself with both hands, what is this for? ”

Li Yan glanced at him: "You understand, I understand?" ”

Cha Xiaodao put his hands in his sleeves, shook his head and smiled: "Come on, you know." ”

The two of them talked and walked inside.

In the main hall, there is a man with a wild goose knife on his waist, a red tasseled round helmet, and a blue coat, and on the table are gifts of several wild and delicacies.

He was quietly looking at the calligraphy and painting porcelain vase in the room, and only when he heard the voice of a person did he turn around and meet Li Yan's eyes.

I saw that this person had a wide back and a bee waist, thick eyebrows and a white face, and his expression revealed a condensed and indissipated spirit, but with this person's facial features alone, Li Yan couldn't recognize him a little.

"Your Excellency."

When he saw Li Yan's face, he immediately stepped forward excitedly and bowed to the end.

Li Yan thought for a while before his eyes moved.

The man raised his head and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "The new transfer of the Yamen of the Yamen is the king of the hundred households, and I have seen Lord Zhenfu." ”

……

The sun had slipped into the clouds to the west, and the sea was blazing red.

The ships in the port also scattered a lot, only Chai Xuan was lying on the armchair, his face was bloodless, his forehead was wrapped in a wet towel, and his mouth was humming: "My horse, my wild black god...... My Tiger Roars...... My Fourteen Zhu. ”

Yewu God didn't mention it, but the fourteen Zhu and the tiger roared, but they were really bitten to death by flying thunder, and three or four tribute horses were seriously injured, and the rest of the uninjured ones were listless.

It's just that he was teased and disgraced, but he was killed or injured and the horses were not in a good position, and he couldn't explain to His Majesty.

Thump!

He did it, beads of sweat the size of soybeans seeped all over his white and beardless face, and he gritted his teeth: "I want to join him!" I want to join him! Refer to him as a conniving mount to bite the tribute horse...... No, command the mount to bite the tribute horse to death! Disrespectful to the Emperor! Disrespectful to the Ming court! ”

Although he said this, Chai Xuan knew in his heart that it was unlikely that he could defeat the surnamed Li.

He said in front of everyone that it was not Li Yan's horse that he picked up, and since this was the case, the death of the two tribute horses was naturally not to blame on Li Yan.

Behind the surname Li are Liaodong and Tianshi Dao, which are not easy to provoke, and it is too late to change their words at this time.

"Hey, hey" he collapsed on his chair in discouragement: "My wild black god ......"

At this time, there was a commotion outside, and he put the towel on the ground fiercely, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Six sons! What's going on! ”

Under the fleet of the Tea and Horse Division, a yellow-robed scholar standing on a grasshopper boat was confronting the chief eunuchs of the Tea and Horse Division.

"I said one last time, rolling around, knowing whose fleet this is? Lean on the Tea Horse Division! Do you dare to break into the boat in the palace?! ”

The yellow-robed scholar hugged his hand: "I'm here to return something." ”

The ship's entourage was impatient: "What else?" ”

The yellow-robed scholar pointed behind him: "Can't you see such two big horses?" ”

"You're crazy!" The long man was about to scold, but Chai Xuan came over with a calm face.

"Godfather."

The people on the boat all lowered their heads, Chai Xuanli ignored them, he heard what he said just now, looked at the yellow-robed scholar fixedly, and said gloomily: "What did you say?" ”

The yellow-robed scholar replied: "I was a scattered person on Changchun Island, and I wanted to go to the Danyan of Jinguang Zhenren in Wanlong Cave, passing through here, but I saw the resentful spirits of two horses hovering here. ”

Chai Xuan pondered for a moment, the death of these two tribute horses is only known to the people on the boat, and it is a daytime matter, where can it be spread so quickly, could it be that this person is really extraordinary?

After thinking about it, he gave a gift: "If Mr. really has the ability to bring the dead back to life, Chai is not talented, and he is willing to give it away with 100 gold." ”

The yellow-robed scholar shook his head slowly: "Life should not be extinguished, not a penny will be taken, the number of lives has come, and it is difficult to pay for a million lives." ”

Chai Xuan became more and more convinced, and he said loudly: "Dare to ask Mr. name." ”

"Huh."

The yellow-robed scholar exhaled: "Hu San, ...... Sheng, Hu Sansheng. ”

……

The person in front of him is the little soldier Wang Sheng on the battlefield of Renchen.

Li Yan saw Wang Shengxiao and saw two familiar dimples on his face, before he recognized him.

"Why did you come to Jiaozhou and find out that I live here?"

Wang Sheng listened to Li Yan's question and replied:

"I heard from the yamen that a while ago there was a demon disaster in Liaodong and the Bohai Sea, and a Li Zhen took care of it to solve it. I expected that I could have such ability, and it was the calming of Da Ningwei, it must be you, my lord. When I saw it, I really didn't guess wrong. ”

Wang Sheng spoke very quickly when he spoke, and he seemed very excited.

Li Yan patted his broad shoulder, just looking at his figure, it was really difficult to connect the man with the tiger's back and bee's waist in front of him with the thin Wang Sheng who was like a small radish head in his impression.

Li Yan suddenly felt a lot of feelings in his heart, but he forced it down, and only smiled happily at Wang Sheng: "Don't be so polite, come, get to know each other." ”

He pulled Wang Sheng in front of Cha Xiaodao: "My good brother, surnamed Cha." Now that I'm in the office, he's my subordinate. My former subordinate, Wang Sheng. ”

"Brother Cha."

Wang Shengzuo.

"You're welcome." Cha Xiaodao blinked, and then said: "Then do it, you two old friends meet, chat first, and I will tell you to get some wine and food." ”

"I'm tired of checking big brother."

Cha Xiaodao nodded, and then glanced at Li Yan.

The two borrowed a few steps outside, stood under the eaves, and then Cha Xiaodao lowered his voice and said to Li Yan: "Why is your brother ......?"

Li Yan nodded and said, "I know, I'll solve it, you just go to the backyard and stare at Cao Yongchang after you're busy, I'm afraid this kid will be lazy." ”

Cha Xiaodao didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Li Yan walked back, lifted the teapot on the table, sat down according to Wang Sheng, poured two cups of herbal tea by himself, and then asked slowly: "In the first half of the year, you wrote a letter saying that you were promoted to the general flag in Anjiwei, Tongzhou, why did you rise to 100 households so quickly, and you also came to Shandong to be an official, and awarded a silver medal from Liupin, and you are about to catch up with me." ”

"Don't laugh at me, adults. This matter, the child has no mother, and it is a long story. ”

Li Yan picked up the teacup and gestured at Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng hurriedly picked up the cup, drank it cleanly, wiped his mouth and then said to Li Yan:

"With the military exploits of North Korea, the career of the lowly post has been quite smooth over the years. The insider is originally from Jiaozhou, and I have been looking forward to it, I can go to Shandong on an errand, and she can also go back to her hometown to see. A while ago, there was a hundred households in Shandong's Yamen who died of illness, so I used the silver to make up for this shortage, and the prosperous Shandong Mansion was good, and it could also fulfill my wife's long-cherished wish, the best of both worlds. ”

These words were said clearly, and it was obvious that Wang Sheng did not treat Li Yan as an outsider.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes, "The last time I wrote that you gave birth to a son, then now there are three people in the family?" ”

"Oh, the old mother is still there, and a son was born to a concubine a few years ago, plus my wife...... Wang Sheng was a little embarrassed: "There are five people in total." ”

Li Yan laughed when he heard this, and he pointed at Wang Sheng: "You kid looks white and gentle, but there is such a blessing for all people!" ”

Wang Sheng scratched his head and didn't know what to say.

"Then ......" Li Yan couldn't see anything on his face, and continued to interrogate: "When you were in North Korea, there was a wild ghost named Nanako in the mountains, do you still have contacts?" ”

Wang Sheng's eyelids widened, and after a short pause, he said without changing his face: "When I returned to my hometown in my early years, I was fascinated by this evil for a while, and then my mother invited the mage of the Heavenly Master Dao to come, and I have long been out of business. ”

"Oh?"

Li Yan looked at Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng lowered his head to get the teacup on the table, avoiding Li Yan's gaze.

"This is a good thing, people and ghosts have different paths, and now that your family business is prosperous, don't think about it anymore."

Wang Shengqiang smiled: "Naturally." ”

"By the way, how old is the child?"

"Ten months old, if the adults don't dislike it, another day, I will bring my family to visit the adults again."

"No need, let's come to visit, don't mention the children, and visiting the old lady is also the courtesy that the younger generation should fulfill."

The conversation between the two became cheerful.

Wang Sheng stayed until the evening, he recalled the past, mentioned a comrade-in-arms uncle, and took care of him repeatedly, and couldn't help but redden. bluntly said that he escaped death in North Korea, and he made a fantastic contribution and returned to his hometown, which was the most satisfying time in his life.

It wasn't until he was full of wine and food that Wang Sheng was about to retire that Li Yan stopped him.

"I just said that I was going to visit, not casually, where do you live at home, I have to be free, I must go."

"Jiaozi Lane in the south of the city, there are two big red lanterns in front of the door, and on the opposite side is a sign of Chen Ji cooked butcher shop."

After Wang Sheng said that, he asked lately: "My lord has the emperor with him, if the time is delayed......

Li Yan found a paper raft and wrote down the address, and said casually: "I know it in my heart, not to mention that the emperor is heavy, and the weight of my brother's life is not light. ”

Wang Sheng trembled when he heard this, and was about to say something, when Li Yan waved his hand: "No need to say more, go ahead." If you are new to Shandong, you will definitely offend your colleagues by filling the vacancies out of thin air, so you should say less, do less, and see more. With this respect for me, you can visit once and don't come again. Okay, go for it. ”

Wang Sheng seemed to have lost his soul, and it took a while before he bit his tongue, and he slammed at Li Yan, and then turned to leave.

Li Yan watched Wang Sheng go away, and at a glance, an eerie black aura was clearly circling above his head.

Name: Mr. Wang

Condition: Broken life, eroded, weakened.

Remarks: Perennial inhalation by the yin object inadvertently, the dragon and tiger are angry, and all kinds of bad luck are not visible, but in the long run, it will definitely endanger life.

"A wife, and a concubine......"

Li Yan pondered and closed the door.
