Chapter 10 23: Re-entering the Capital (Part II)
It is said that when everyone in the general's mansion was at a loss, there were guards who came in to report. "General, Li Qiusheng has come back by himself. is eating in the back kitchen of Xize, please show the general. β
Suddenly, everyone was surprised, and couldn't help but glance at each other, and in addition to being excited, they couldn't say a single intimate word for a while.
Old Man Dong was stunned at first, and then hurriedly walked towards the back kitchen of Xi Ze. When everyone saw this, it was difficult for them to speak out to stop them. After a slight pause, he followed.
In the back kitchen of Xi Ze, Li Qiusheng was half-squatting on the chair at the dining table, gobbling up the food sent by the people on the side with his mouth wide open.
At this time, Li Qiusheng's hungry and miserable appearance is really difficult to describe in words. Even when Old Man Dong, Li Liangguang and others walked into the back kitchen, Li Qiusheng only glanced at it occasionally, glanced at the corner of his eye a few times, and still chewed half of the chicken leg in his hand with a squeak in his mouth. The greedy cat, completely ignoring the wide eyes of everyone watching his every move, had already been frightened into an 'O' shape and stopped under his cheek with an exaggerated mouth.
Old Man Dong walked up hatefully, and was so angry that he snatched the food from Li Qiusheng's hand and threw it on the ground, and then withdrew his hand. The delicious food on the table was suddenly turned upside down and a mess.
Li Qiusheng stood up suddenly, stared at the old man Dong who was still angry with his eyes wide and shouted in surprise. "Old man, you, what are you doing here? I didn't offend you, why didn't you let me Li Qiusheng have a full meal here? Could it be that you are having a nervous attack, or are you deliberately pretending to be crazy and stupid to make this scary appearance? Master, I'm not eating your set. β
At this time, I saw that Old Man Dong was pulling Li Qiusheng's ear and scolded angrily. "Boy, I'll let you eat! I'll let you eat! Aren't you very capable? Now I just won't let you fill your stomach. See what you can do? Did you eat me, or did you cut me? β
After being angry for a while, Old Man Dong slapped the dinner table and yelled one after another. "Li Qiusheng, do you still know how to come back and eat? Didn't you completely ignore our feelings? Look up at these people around you, who is not willing to bear the fear for your personal safety! Even the expression of fear was still on their faces! β
"But it's good that you kid treats the kindness of our people as a wolf's heart. Let me tell you, the human heart is made of flesh. How can you kid be so majestic that you don't care about the kindness that everyone has given you? From this point of view, you kid is just an ungrateful person in the end, what's the use of helping you so much in life and death? It's better to close your eyes and see nothing. β
Old Man Dong's ruthless shouting actually forced Li Qiusheng's tears to fall down for a while. It's as if a child who has made a mistake is sincerely accepting the repentance of the elder. He said abruptly, his lips twitching. "Old man, general, Di Zhai master, Jin Yan, I, Li Qiusheng, am sorry for you and disappointed your expectations."
"Maybe I, Li Qiusheng, don't deserve your dedication at all, and I'm not the orphan of the 'King of Heyang' you said in your mouth at all. At best, I'm just an ordinary orphan, just most of the expectations and fantasies you place on me. I beg you to stop pushing me, I don't want to be the orphan of the 'King of Heyang', since the royal family can't recognize my identity until now, I don't want the royal family's honor and glory. You might as well let me be an ordinary mortal, not fighting with the sky, not with the earth, not with everything in the world. Wouldn't it be better? β
"Boy, you're naΓ―ve. You are not stained with dust in this world, but the dust is stained with you; You don't hate anyone, but they hate themselves. How difficult it is to find a pure land and avoid the world. After waiting for Li Qiusheng's words to land, the golden knife man coldly squinted his eyes and said. It seems to say that the kid saw it, this is the reality. In a world where the weak eat the strong, the strong will always stand on the side of true righteousness.
Di Jinyan suddenly walked up to Li Qiusheng and smiled, half joking and half indignant. "Ouch, Li Mutou, you will become smart and dizzy after not seeing you for a long time. Is it that most of the beauties in the capital fascinate you, and they actually say such embarrassing nonsense. Let's talk about it, what desperate things happened to your kid in the capital, and in half an hour, you kid is so angry and wilted. β
"Hey, don't push me." Under the Ling Li offensive of the three of them, Li Qiusheng suddenly opened his mouth wide and exclaimed with all his might, and his indifferent eyes swept the surrounding space, causing everyone present to have a burst of spasms.
Old Man Dong was silent for a while, and finally spoke to Li Qiusheng again. "Boy, you said we didn't force you. But in order to save you from the misery of death row prisoners, Li Dashuai has now been impeached by King Liang and Deputy Lei for the crime of 'bullying the king'. Le Xuan, the director of the Criminal Department, is under investigation. You are now the cause of this evil, and Li Dashuai is the result of being questioned by the ministers. β
"Boy, I'll ask you. Can you bear to watch the person who risked his life to save you be imprisoned and indifferent? Can you let Li Dashuai, who has always felt guilty about the 'King of Heyang', bear the notoriety of his life and discredit his loyalty? If you can ignore it like this, the old man will have nothing to say. If you still have a little faith and reason in your heart, please cheer up. Don't always live in a world where you are afraid, give yourself a hope, give others a hope. β
At this time, Li Qiusheng felt that his heart was almost about to jump out, and he was really attacked by these people in turn, and his body was incomplete.
Li Qiusheng was surprised, and looked at Li Dashuai, who had still not spoken until now. He glanced at it humbly and said with a look of surprise. "I'm sorry, Li Dashuai! Li Qiusheng, trapped in your injustice and made you embarrassed and aggrieved, it is really humble, humble. But please forgive me for my reluctance, I am really not the orphan of the 'King of Heyang' that you say. I, Li Qiusheng, am just an ordinary man, and I am not worthy of a noble and honest minister like you who sacrificed his life and forgot to die for me. β
Li Liangguang was furious on the spot, slapping the table and roaring like thunder. "Li Qiusheng, don't let you say such frustrating words. The old man risked his life to save you from the sword and axe, of course, it is not without real evidence. At present, although the Queen Mother and the Lord of the Kingdom have the intention to let you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, the opposition forces in the DPRK and China are secretly moving, forcing the Queen Mother and the Lord of the Kingdom to be more than willing and not enough. Since ancient times, being born in the emperor's family is not a matter of one person, but something that exists in the world. What's more, a complex and changeable situation like yours is also implicated in the defeat of the 'King of Heyang' Hushan in the First Battle many years ago, how can others casually conclude it. β
Li Liangguang looked at Li Qiusheng's momentary shock, and said in a fierce accent, "Li Qiusheng, you listen well." From now when you step into my general's mansion half a step, before the matter is completely finalized, you don't want to take another half step out of the general's mansion, which will confuse people's eyes and ears. "It's like not giving Li Qiusheng a little bit of freedom to do his own thing.
The few people next to him suddenly became dumbfounded, and their incomprehensible eyes were all staring at Li Liangguang in the middle. Li Liangguang seemed to completely ignore the opposition of others at this time, just smiled and did not answer, turning a blind eye.
'Ouch', Li Qiusheng screamed again, and he looked at Li Liangguang with angry eyes and said with a smile on his face. "Li Dashuai, I am not your personal property, why do you want to restrict my freedom? So what is the difference between you and those wicked people? It's not all a raccoon dog. β
Li Qiusheng fought back so hard, only to see Li Liangguang smile faintly. "Does the old man still have to explain things to you clearly? You are not a relative of the emperor now, so I don't need to return to you in everything. β
Without waiting for everyone to remind him, Li Qiusheng was stunned when he stared, and even the half of the chicken leg that was still holding in his hand fell with a 'porphyr' sound, and he became a dumb man with an unspeakable mouth.
All this is just as Li Liangguang hinted at, Li Qiusheng is not a status now, why should I obey you in a country? And I want to ask for your opinion? Isn't that a big joke?
Li Qiusheng, you have also heard such a sentence: I am in charge of my territory, and it should be the turn of the old man to speak and count. The era of what you love is coming to an end.
Once the mood of boredom arises, Li Qiusheng is like a paralyzed balloon that can no longer bounce. He sat down on the round bench, and all his mood and arrogance just now were all gone. Even a good appetite can no longer be strong, and there is no smile on his face.
When everyone saw Li Qiusheng's sudden appearance of becoming so decadent, they all understood Li Liangguang's hard work. couldn't help but smile again, and turned around to slowly exit the back kitchen.
Li Qiusheng suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Old man, I forgot to tell you just now. Three months ago, Dong Yanzhi had left Dufu, left the capital, and went back to the south with a personal maid delivered by Dufu. It seems that all the efforts we have made have been in vain in the end. The falling flowers are intentionally ruthless, and spring is gone. I can't complain about such a good spring! After roaring, he sat there with a lonely appearance, not looking at everyone again.
Old Man Dong was walking out behind Li Liangguang, and he heard Li Qiusheng's words shouted. In an instant, he stopped in the middle of it, and could no longer move the steps he took forward. Old Man Dong slowly turned around and asked in horror. "Boy, you, what did you say? Yan Zhi is no longer in the capital? Who are you listening to to the crazy words, Yanzhi is not in the capital, where can she be? β
Li Qiusheng smiled again for a moment, "This, I don't know about this." If you want to know, why don't you ask her yourself? β
Everyone listened to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, and they became suspicious for a while. The relaxed and soothing mood just now was beaten back to the reality of awakening by Li Qiusheng's words that fell from the sky. The haze of wind and rain will sneak in silently and infiltrate your heart.
At this moment, the back kitchen of the General's Mansion was silent, and only a few pairs of eyes that still signaled the living beings occasionally blinked, and the circle opened wide. Like the time of death, the wind is quiet and late, and there is no bright light to live.
Together with the sound of insects and birds and frogs chirping in July, I can't hear half of it.
