Chapter 417: I'm Back
Liu Yi's General's Mansion, the old couple had just finished dinner, Liu Yi sat in the side hall while picking his teeth, while recalling that when he had just eaten, his wife shouted to buy the house behind the courtyard, so that it could be expanded into the Hou Mansion, with his new identity as Marquis Jingwu.
Of course, Liu Yi disagreed, the reason was that he had no money, but his wife scolded him for being stingy, saying that the filial piety given by Xu Rui alone was enough for them to buy a few mansions directly.
But Liu Yi was still not allowed, and his wife suddenly became angry, saying that he would take Xu Rui alone without building a house, and then ignore him, a lonely old man.
Liu Yi was angry on the surface, but when he thought of his wife's smile and Xu Rui's high spirits, he couldn't stop it in his heart.
Just thinking about it, the old housekeeper suddenly rushed in with a happy face, Liu Yi was stunned, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
Before the old butler could speak, he heard a shout from the door of the side hall: "I'm back!" ”
Liu Yi looked up and saw Xu Rui standing at the door with a smile, he hadn't seen him grow taller for a few months, his figure was getting taller and taller, and the appearance on his face seemed a lot more mature.
When the old butler saw the appearance of the two, he smiled slightly and withdrew gently.
Liu Yi looked at Xu Rui, and felt a sense of joy in his heart, but said with a straight face: "Why, the wings are stiff, I went out for seven months, and I didn't eat the first meal when I came back with your aunt?" ”
Xu Rui smiled and waved his hand and said, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I can't feel at ease if I don't go to see King Su with my own eyes." ”
Hearing him mention King Su, Liu Yi's face looked better, and he asked with concern, "How is King Su?" ”
Xu Rui sighed: "My life is saved, but I am afraid that I will never be able to practice martial arts in the future, and it is probably impossible to go to the battlefield." ”
Liu Yi frowned: "Even you can't do it?" ”
Xu Rui shook his head: "I'm not a true immortal, Mr. Changpo is already above me in terms of medical skills, I have seen the recovery of the operation, it is much better than me, he can't help it, what can I do?" ”
Liu Yiyan's face darkened when he heard this: "Speaking of a taboo, although there are many heirs of the saint, there are only a few who can afford the burden in the eyes of the old man, King Su, this child is not very old, but the bones are not soft, the battle of Donglan Fort is the old man feels dangerous, but he can persevere, and now he can no longer go to the battlefield, it's a pity." ”
Xu Rui shook his head: "The battlefield is not a good place, it is naturally better not to go up, not to mention that if this difficulty is worse, the other brothers may not be able to guard against him, which is actually a good thing." ”
was reminded by Xu Rui, Liu Yi also remembered that the battle between the crown prince and the king of Liao was intensifying now, and he couldn't help but nodded: "This is the emperor's family, for that position, father and son turned against each other and killed each other, it's really embarrassing." ”
Xu Rui grabbed Liu Yi's cup of tea and drank it all, sat down opposite Liu Yi with a grin, and said with a smile: "This is also natural selection, survival of the fittest, competition can have a good emperor, sometimes fighting is not necessarily a bad thing." ”
Seeing that Xu Rui drank the tea he had just brewed, Liu Yi glared at him, lifted the teapot again, poured him a cup, and then said: "If it is based on ability, of course it is a good thing, but now that this battle has endangered the imperial court, how can the old man not worry?" ”
Xu Rui smiled: "People are fighting for others, let's pass ours, what are you anxious about?" ”
Liu Yi snorted coldly and said: "I'm not in a hurry with others, but if something happens to the Yuwang who is good friends with you, you will be implicated nine times out of ten, can I not be in a hurry?" ”
Xu Rui rolled his eyes: "How can Yuwang be implicated in an accident?" Did you mention it casually, or did you really get some rumors? ”
Liu Yi sighed and said: "You, you have a close personal relationship with King Yu, and you and him have long been classified as a party outside, and you don't think how clean your good friend is, and he has made a lot of small moves recently." ”
"Oh?"
Xu Rui was slightly stunned, and his face gradually became serious: "Are you saying that King Yu has also joined the ranks of seizing the heir?" ”
Liu Yi sneered: "On the surface, he is between the crown prince and the king of Liao, and he seems to be neutral, but it is this neutrality that exposes his ambitions.
The matter of seizing the heir is a battle for the country, it is impossible to avoid it in the court, your position was too low in the past, no one paid attention, now it is different from the past, I advise you to get an idea as soon as possible, don't become a rat in the bellows and get angry. ”
Xu Rui nodded: "You're right, but since it's the country's capital, I can't be hasty, I have to think carefully about who I want to support." ”
Liu Yi was stunned: "Do you still want to think?" I thought you would support Yuwang. ”
Xu Rui said with a smile: "Emotionally speaking, I also want to support King Yu, but whether King Yu can be a good emperor still has to be observed, anyway, the saint is still in his prime, so there is no hurry in this matter." ”
Liu Yi nodded: "It's naturally best if you don't be confused by feelings, I don't care about other things." ”
As he spoke, Liu Yi seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, when are you moving?" ”
"Moving?"
Xu Rui was stunned.
Liu Yi said angrily: "Now you are also a champion Hou, and you are qualified to open a government and build a mansion, and you don't know how much money you have looted in your pocket, and what kind of system do you rely on in the old man's mansion?"
Think about it, if someone comes looking for you, will they give you a prayer post to the Champion Marquis Mansion, or will they give me a prayer post to the Jingwu Marquis Mansion? ”
Xu Rui rolled his eyes and said, "Is it possible to knock on the door directly?" Said that I will give you a pension and send you to the end, and then inherit your inheritance, now that the inheritance has not arrived, how can I go? ”
Liu Yi said angrily: "You kid, now you are the richest person in the world, and you still worry about the old man's things?" ”
Xu Rui smiled: "You can't spend money indiscriminately, don't you have so many good houses, what a waste of your old couple living by yourself, isn't it?"
Besides, let's say okay, I don't care, no one wants me to move if I can't get the inheritance, alas! Don't do it, I'm good at martial arts now, what, I still have to go and say hello to my aunt, let's see you back! ”
After speaking, Xu Rui fled.
Liu Yi looked at Xu Rui's embarrassed figure, how could he have the appearance of the commander of the army, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a knowing smile.
"Tsk, this kid! Hey hey ......"
"Aunt ......"
Xu Rui walked around the General's Mansion and didn't find Mrs. Liu, but he didn't expect Mrs. Liu to wait in his bedroom.
As soon as she saw Xu Rui enter the house, Mrs. Liu stood up slowly, staring at Xu Rui with her two eyes, looking up and down distressedly, looking at it, her eyes were a little red, and the tears of bean size fell down.
"Evil, this walk is seven months, those who have suffered a thousand knives in the Southern Dynasty, see how old you are, and pull you to the battlefield? Look at it, look at it, how much weight has been lost, and you must have suffered a lot outside. ”
Mrs. Liu wiped her tears while grasping the chatter, her face full of distress.
Xu Rui felt a warm current in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not back." ”
Mrs. Liu blamed: "It's coming back, but how can there be something on the battlefield?" It's all your uncle, an old guy, who has fought all his life, so he has to drag you away. ”
Xu Rui said with a smile: "How can it, it is said that the husband has made meritorious contributions, since he wants to make meritorious contributions, how can there be a better place than the battlefield?" You don't want to see me do nothing all my life, do you? ”
Mrs. Liu wiped away her tears and turned her sadness into joy and said: "Yes, yes, my family Rui'er has the ability, and the children of other families know how to spend time and drink when they are as old as you, but you have earned a champion Hou back, better than your uncle!" ”
Xu Rui was only eighteen, and it was inevitable that he would be overjoyed when he was praised by his elders, but Mrs. Liu's next sentence suddenly made him sit on the spot.
"As the old saying goes, start a family and start a business, now that you have established your business first, it's time to start a family, I tell you, during this time, the people who come to ask for relatives are about to break the threshold of our family.
But my family Rui'er is unique, those girls are not worthy of being small for you, my aunt thought, you must have this one you like, I feel sorry for you, so I blasted out those matchmakers.
Now that you're finally back, tell your aunt which girl do you like? Auntie will tell you in person, even if it is the princess of the emperor's family, Auntie will also keep it and help you marry into the door! ”
Hearing this, Xu Rui suddenly remembered the appearance of Princess Qixia, and suddenly felt a pain in his heart, and his left hand began to spasm violently again.
