Chapter Twenty-Three: Slipping Away
"Old lady, the young master is back, and he brought back a friend!" The housekeeper stood in the center of the main hall, and he wanted to say that he had brought back a beggar, but after seeing Yun Longzi, he changed his words.
"As soon as you come back, go fool around, let him play by himself, don't bump into the distinguished guests!"
"Oh, since the eldest prince has brought a friend, if we don't see each other, it will be rude for us." Yun Longzi said slowly.
Old Lady Li had no choice but to laugh and said to the housekeeper: "Since the Taoist has said so, you can let them in!" ”
After the housekeeper turned around and went out, Yun Longzi gently put down the teacup, stood up, and straightened his robe, "Old Li, why don't we go and have a look, lest they be greedy for fun, and they won't be seen again for a while!" ”
How could Old Lady Li not hear the meaning of Yun Longzi's words, she was not ashamed in her heart, and it didn't hurt to arrive. "Dao Chief, please!"
"Mr. Li, please!"
Li Yuheng and Li Yuxuan stepped into the Li Mansion back and forth, and the servants of the Li Mansion saluted Li Yuxuan one after another and looked at Li Yuheng with strange eyes.
Li Yuheng didn't know if it was his professional habits or what, as soon as he entered this Li Mansion, his first feeling was that it was not good. With a serious expression, he pointed to the row of trees behind the courtyard wall and said: "Brother Yuxuan, this row of willow trees must be cut down, and even the roots of the trees must be dug out. ”
Li Yuxuan was sluggish for a moment, he remembered that his sister didn't like these weird powers since she was a child. "When did Brother Yuheng learn this, why don't I know?"
Li Yuheng said mysteriously: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, but what I say, you must listen, the mulberry willow acacia and poplar neem belong to the yin wood, although it is planted at the front door, but this location is facing the main house, it is easy to provoke some things, unlucky!" ”
"I'm afraid that with your words, grandpa won't listen!" Li Yuxuan shrugged, unable to help.
"Little friends can also feng shui?" Yun Longzi heard Li Yuheng's words from afar, and was a little surprised, this young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was able to find out such an obscure place, could it be that he was the purpose of his trip?
"The Taoist chief smiled, I'm pure nonsense!" Li Yuheng looked at the Taoist robe and replied politely, when he saw Li Yuxuan looking at the long Dao's face suddenly turned pale, he felt that there must be something wrong with the old Dao in front of him, thirty-six strategies, and it was the best policy.
"That, Brother Yuxuan, I may have a bad stomach today, so I borrowed your thatched house for use." After speaking, he covered his stomach and slipped away.
Old lady Li stared at Li Yuxuan dissatisfiedly, where did this kid pick up a beggar and come back, in front of so many people, he was so vulgar, it was really vulgar.
"Grandpa, Brother Yuheng has a relatively straightforward personality!" Hehe, having said that, let alone grandpa, even he is not used to it. Li Yuxuan didn't dare to look at Old Lady Li, and said to Yunlongzi:
"Cloud Road is good!"
Yun Longzi said with a smile: "The eldest prince is polite, what your friend said just now is right, this row of willow trees is really not good, if you can trust the old way, just do what the little friend said just now!" ”
This time it was Mrs. Li's turn to be surprised. The young man just now didn't have much cultivation at first glance, and he said a few words casually, how could he still be a good word. He turned his head to the old butler and said, "Did you hear what the little boy said just now?" ”
"Old lady, I was too far away just now, my ears are not very bright, I didn't understand!" The housekeeper looked at this row of willow trees, there must be at least seventy or eighty trees, which are the old lady's favorite, and if they are really cut down, they must not die of distress.
Yun Longzi stopped making a sound and walked towards the place where Li Yuheng had disappeared.
Li Yuxuan was afraid that his little sister's identity would be revealed, so he hurriedly followed. "Cloud Dao Chief, I'll go with you!"
The corners of Old Madam Li's mouth twitched, and she instructed the housekeeper to immediately let people cut down the tree, and flicked her sleeves to keep up with Yunlongzi.
Li Yuheng jumped down from the wall of the Li Mansion, patted the dust on his hands, looked at the Li Mansion in the high-walled compound, said goodbye, and swaggered away.
"Brother, why did you suddenly close the jade card just now!" Zhang Wa's voice sounded in her head.
Li Yuheng replied angrily: "Isn't this just in case, that old Taoist just now knew that it was very powerful at a glance, if he knew that I had raised three ghosts, he would not have to clean me up!" ”
"Aren't you a judge? Who dares to say half a word about the judge's ghost! Zhang Wa asked puzzled.
"But I'm human now, and I can't break the rules! When I regain my mana one day, I will have the right to fight with me. Li Yuheng was also annoyed, it took half a year to recover thirty percent of his mana, and if he wanted to recover to his previous peak, he had to hide for a while.
"And where are we going now?"
"Let's go to the capital!" After Li Yuheng finished speaking, his face was a little cold, Li Luoxi was calculated in the capital at the beginning, no matter what, he occupied her body, and he should also help her settle the account.
"Good! All right! I haven't seen the capital chapter like yet! Zhang Wa clapped excitedly.
Li Yuxuan accompanied Yun Longzi to play a game of chess in the pavilion, and after two games of chess, Li Yuheng did not appear, and he was a little suspicious, the little sister should not have seen Yun Dao Changcai, why did she slip away again?
The sound of cutting trees outside was noisy, Yun Longzi was very calm, Old Lady Li couldn't sit still, his face was a little pale, a stinky beggar, he actually made the respected Yun Dao Chang wait for so long, isn't this a slap in his old face!
"Xuan'er, your friend will be fine, right?"
Li Yuxuan slapped his thigh, stood up, and exclaimed: "Suffer, how did I forget about this, Brother Yuheng is a road idiot, he won't get lost, right?" "He wanted to be realistic in acting, but he filmed very hard, and he was a martial arts practitioner, and his thighs must have been bruised after this slap.
"Road idiot?" Yun Longzi couldn't help but wonder, how could a person who knew feng shui be a road idiot, was it really as he said, he was talking nonsense?
"Road idiot, you still go home to get it, it's really nonsense!" Old lady Li suddenly exposed her muscles, her eyes widened with anger, and she was furious. He shouted to a maid, "Inform the old lady and ask her to take someone to the inner courtyard to look for her." ”
"Yes, old lady!" The maid was ordered to run towards the inner courtyard.
"Grandpa, don't make such a big fuss! Maybe he'll turn back in a moment, as he used to do in the barracks. "Li Yuxuan didn't expect the result to be like this, the little sister doesn't know martial arts, if she wants to get out of the Li Mansion, she must have slipped through the back door, how could she run into the inner courtyard!
"You also said that it was in the barracks, and there were a bunch of big men who were worried, but this is at home, and the backyard is full of women, if a man breaks in, won't their innocence be ruined!" The more Mrs. Li spoke, the more excited she became, "They are all people who are going to marry daughters-in-law, and they don't understand anything at all, I really don't know how your father and mother taught you!" ”
Everyone has reverse scales, and Li Yuxuan's reverse scales are his and Li Luoxi's own mother, thinking of what she did to her little sister, she refuted it angrily: "Grandpa, you can say that anyone is fine, you are not allowed to say my mother, my little sister only has one mother, that is Xuanyuan Qingyan, but she is dead, forced to death by you!" And she taught me and my little sister very well, you are not qualified to talk about her, if you want to preach, go to Leng Meiji! ”
"You rebel, Leng is your father's wife and your mother, how can you call her by her name!" Old Mrs. Li couldn't help but be annoyed when she saw that her grandson, who had always been obedient and well-behaved, actually raised the bar with him, and listened to his tone as if he knew what happened back then.
Li Yuxuan sneered: "Leng, I was afraid that she would treat my little sister badly, so I respected her as a second mother, but what did she do, my little sister obviously ......" At this point, he suddenly remembered that the person next to him was the regent's confidant, and he couldn't help but swallow his words.
"Have you seen Xi'er?"
Mrs. Li has all grasped the point, "Where is she?" ”
"Nope! I haven't seen it! Li Yuxuan hurriedly denied that it was forgivable for the little sister to be kidnapped, but it was not possible to escape marriage.
Yun Longzi still has that light and breezy appearance, as if nothing can arouse his thoughts, as for what he thinks in his heart, he doesn't know, he got up and raised the dust, and said with a smile: "Old Li, it's not early today, I'll leave first!" ”
"Dao Chief, I'm really sorry! I don't know where the long stay is, but I will personally bring this unworthy descendant to visit another day. Old lady Li looked at Li Yuxuan dissatisfied, she was really unlucky, and she had the same virtue as her dead mother.
"I will meet again if I am fated, don't force it, say goodbye!"
"Dao Chief, I'll send you!" Li Yuxuan didn't want to stay any longer, the purpose of his trip was to find his little sister, just know that she was safe and sound.
After sending Yun Longzi away, Li Yuxuan searched around the street, but did not find the person he was looking for, and walked into a teahouse.
The teahouse was really lively, with all kinds of people, talking and laughing, very harmonious, at least on the surface.
"Smack!" The storyteller's board sounded, and a middle-aged man in a cyan robe with his black hair tied up haphazardly was still holding the board that had just been photographed in his hand.
I saw him sitting on the bench, lifted a cup of tea and drank two sips, moistened his throat, and said: "People die as ghosts, ghosts live in the underworld, ghosts die as deaf, deaf death as hope, hope dies as razor, live in the country of crows, never be reborn, if you die again, it will be completely decomposed by nature, completely dissolved into nothingness, and cease to exist." ”
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, someone asked, "Can those archmages really come and go freely in the underworld of Hades?" ”
The middle-aged man pretended to be mysterious, swept around the crowd with his eyes, took out a big bowl from under the table, handed the big bowl to a small guy next to him, and said: "Fathers and fellow villagers have money to hold a money field, and those who have no money have a personal field......
As soon as he said this, many people said "huh", but they still took out some loose silver taels from their pockets and threw them into the bowl of the little guy. Li Yuxuan touched it, took out a tael of silver, and put the silver in when the little servant walked to his table.
The little guy walked around the teahouse, returned to the middle-aged man, and handed him the bowl.
"Uncle, say it quickly!" Someone urged.
The man habitually coughed, put the bowl away, and the teahouse was suddenly silent, waiting for his next step.
"What is a mage?"
