Chapter 43: Bad News Comes

When Li Brahma followed Wen Wan out of the patriarch's mansion, the weather became even more gloomy, and the thick dark clouds seemed to be much lower in the sky. Especially when the local people look up to the sky, they all have an inexplicable sense of dizziness, in front of this irritable nature, human beings are really so small.

Li Brahma didn't notice the change in the weather, because he was now fully focused on Wen Wan in front of him. In the morning, thanks to his actions, he finally left a deep impact on himself, both mentally and physically. Li Brahma raised his head and quietly glanced at Wen Wan, who was walking angrily in front of him alone, and gently rubbed a bruise on his face.

Li Brahma and Wen Wan still have to go to Lao Tang today, in addition to supervising the progress of the project of the veteran's residence, what is more important is that today is the return day of the Tianzi Battalion.

At the same time, Li Xiyang came to the Four Elephants Hall early to deal with the official affairs of the clan. But as time passed, Li Xiyang felt more and more depressed, and he got up and went to the window to take a few breaths of fresh air. But when he came to the window and saw the dark clouds in the sky, he frowned deeply, for the first time in hundreds of years he had seen such a thick black cloud. At the same time, he sensed that some subtle changes were taking place in this space. But that didn't make him think about it for long, because the change was so subtle, subtle that it was negligible. Probably because of the folding space, Li Xiyang found a reason for himself and didn't delve into anything.

Li Brahma and Wen Wan have already come to the mouth of this alley of Lao Tang, probably because of the weather conditions, there are not many people on the road, and they seem to be a little deserted.

Li Brahma had already relied on his thick skin on the road wall to become a lot more relaxed with Wen Wan's relationship, Li Brahma after telling another joke, seeing Wen Wan's shy, secretly took out a box of Cui Ya Ge's fine rouge from his pocket. In the form of a traitorous villain, he handed it to Wen Wan with both hands, and said, "I saw you take a few more looks at it in Cui Ya Pavilion yesterday, and I bought it for you today." ”

Wen Wan took the rouge over and said, "You weren't like this before, where did you go with that prodigal look? So now you are so shameless?" Don't look at Wen Wan is saying that Li Brahma is not, but that happy look still makes Li Brahma see it clearly.

Li Brahma smiled inexplicably, and made up his mind even more determined that he would definitely patronize the gentle boudoir every day in the future. Even if you will be beaten, it is not a big deal, after all, it is all kissing and scolding. What's more, he didn't suffer a loss, whoever goes to tease the little lady a few times will not be beaten, in the eyes of Li Brahma to be beaten is struggle, struggle is fun, and there will be excitement when there is interest. What's more, after the stimulation, the little lady will not work hard with you, but will have a closer relationship.

Li Brahma is now a little remorseful, why Wen Wan doesn't have the habit of taking a nap? If so, this is not another day.

Li Brahma couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, Wen Wan heard it, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I miss Sanskrit a little, and I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't know how I'm doing in Shouyang Pass. ”

When Wen Wan heard these words, she also reminded her of Fanyin, she has always had a good relationship with Li Fanyin, and she has regarded Li Fanyin as her best friend in her heart. But after thinking about it, he actually got together with his best friend's brother, what should I say when I see Fanyin in the future, Wen Wan couldn't help but sigh.

So the two sighed and walked into Old Tang's alley.

People who rely on hard work to support their families will not have a day when they will stop because of how cold the weather is, just like the construction workers, when Li Brahma and Wen Wan came to Lao Tang's house, the construction workers were already in full swing and didn't know how long they had been working.

Even if he wasn't shirtless like he was yesterday, he didn't wear much, at least not a fur cloak like Li Brahma. Due to the vigorous exercise, the workers were already sweating profusely, and as soon as they came into contact with the cold wind outside, they turned into wisps of white mist and steam.

The Li family's atmosphere has always been fierce, and even women don't have too much shyness. Wen Wan looked at the energetic workers, and said bluntly to Li Brahma: "Look at the people, and then look at you, it's also a shame that you still tell me every day that you cultivate the true body, how powerful it is, isn't it that the weather has become colder, so you have wrapped yourself so thickly." Wen Wan looked at Li Brahma wrapped in a fur cloak with a look of disdain.

Li Brahma kept his mouth shut and didn't refute it, because he did wear a lot. As a monk in the foundation period, Li Brahma was indeed more hardy than ordinary men, but this did not stop him from putting a cloak over his cotton clothes, because he simply thought that this was very handsome.

On the contrary, Li Brahma was a little worried, on such a cold day, Wen Wan was still wearing the festive red dress from yesterday. Li Brahma didn't know if she was cold or not, anyway, he felt the coldness when he held his gentle little hand, probably the woman gave up for the sake of being slim and sexy.

Li Brahma walked through the construction site to Lao Tang's hut, like in the past, Lao Tang had already been outside to bask in the sun or come out to see the progress of the project, and send some water to those men to drink, but today Li Brahma was about to walk to the door and did not see an old man. Even Li Qing, who came to Lao Tang's place early every day to eat and drink, didn't see it.

Li Brahma muttered puzzledly, "Why is it so lonely today? ”

Wen Wan said: "Maybe it's too cold, let's make a fire in the house." ”

Li Brahma nodded slightly, "oh", and seemed to agree with Wen Wan's statement. Since no one came, I found someone. Li Brahma took a gentle hand and pushed open the door of Old Tang's room.

The old wooden door creaked every time it was pushed open, and even after Li Qing put some oil on it, it would still turn back like this in a few days.

Crunch...

The wailing sound from the wooden door attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and nearly a dozen pairs of eyes turned to Li Brahma at the door. Li Brahma glanced around and found that in addition to the old faces of Lao Tang and Li Qing in the house, there was also a veteran who came here with Wang Xun yesterday, Zhang Tianqi.

Zhang Tianqi is a veteran who retired from the Frost Legion, and since he retired, he has been a neighbor with Wang Xun, and the relationship is irreversible.

"Brother Tian'er, you are here, everyone is waiting for you. When Li Qing saw Li Brahma enter the door, he ran to Li Brahma like a burning buttocks, grabbed Li Brahma's arm, and pulled him into the crowd.

Seeing the strange faces of the people, whether angry or sad, Li Brahma realized something and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

When everyone heard Li Brahma ask, I look at you, you look at him, but no one spoke. In the end, Li Qing said bluntly: "Wang Xun is dead?"

"Wang Xun is dead", Li Brahma hesitated slightly, raised his hand and shook off Li Qing's hand holding his own.

"How did you die?"

This time, Li Qing did not speak, but was replaced by Zhang Tianqi. "I don't know this, I got up early today and went out to find Lao Wang, when he was lying on the street, he had already lost his breath, and his body was already frozen. ”

Zhang Tianqi's face is obviously much older than yesterday, after all, he is not happy to see his old friend for many years pass away. People will always die, especially old people like Zhang Tianqi, who are buried in the loess around their necks. The strong man is old, and the twilight is heavy.

"What else is not clear, I think it must be the black hand of the person from the military department who saw that Lao Wang didn't do those things for him. "The only one who can say this kind of thing is Lao Han, he has always said something.

When Lao Tang heard that Lao Han dared to say such things, he hurriedly persuaded: "This kind of thing can't be nonsense, slandering the military department is a big crime." ”

"I think Lao Han is right, otherwise how could Lao Wang have an accident. Lao Han's words have been agreed by many people, after all, it is still very suspicious that Wang Xun died on the street.

Li Brahma took a deep breath and didn't say anything. He and Wang Xun only met yesterday, and in Li Brahma's memory, Wang Xun was still the image of a veteran ruffian who took the lead in making trouble, at best a conscientious veteran ruffian, and this was only after learning that his father was the commander of the Wolf Smoke Legion.

Anyway, Li Brahma's feelings for Wang Xun are not very deep, but the dead are the greatest, and looking at this way, the room full of people wants to do something for themselves. So Li Brahma still said, "Let's go and see." ”

Wang Xun lives in the clan land of Xicheng, and it sounds like Xicheng, but it is actually a slum. People of all kinds are begging for a living in Xicheng. The most common thing in the entire Xicheng is not the Praetorian Guards who maintain law and order in the Li family, but criminals. The lack of management and poor security in Xicheng is one reason, but the most important thing is actually Xicheng itself, because Xicheng itself is a prison.

The laws of the Li family have always been lenient, except for capital crimes, all other crimes are inevitably assigned to Xicheng, and they are not allowed to communicate with the clansmen in other places, and they are punished to death here. The Li family rarely violates the death penalty, so the number of people in Xicheng is getting more and more chaotic. Slowly, Xicheng became what it is now, and it became a special urban area of the Li family.

Xicheng is poor and dirty, and there are few spacious and magnificent halls in the whole city, all of which are low adobe houses as far as the eye can see, and the alleys are also the kind of dirt roads that will splash mud when you step on it when it rains. But the people of the entire Xicheng are fierce and aggressive by nature, because the weak have no room to survive in the Xicheng.

Every time the family army recruits, the Xicheng people are the first choice, and on the battlefield, the Xicheng people are indeed fierce. Since the establishment of Xicheng, there have been two corps generals and more than a dozen division commanders here, and these people have all been killed from the lowest level.

Li Brahma and his entourage drove all the way from Tsing Yi Street to the gate of Xicheng and was stopped, since Xicheng is a prison, it is naturally a strictly controlled population entry and exit, and every prisoner will be engraved with a brand to prevent him from leaving Xicheng.

There is only one gate in the west city, and the others are dozens of meters high city walls, and there will be guards patrolling the city walls from time to time.

The commander of the guard army at the gate of the city raised his hand to stop Li Brahma's carriage and shouted: "Stop coming, the west city ahead, and the idlers avoid." ”

Wu Tao, who was in charge of driving, parked the carriage aside, got out of the car and came to the commander of the guards, took out a quick token and handed it over. The commander of the garrison looked at it and handed it back respectfully, hurriedly saluted with a "snap", and greeted in a loud voice: "Hello general." ”

Wu Tao nodded slightly and said, "I'm going to go in to inspect and open the door immediately to let me go." ”

"Yes. The commander of the garrison put away his military salute and turned to his soldiers and scolded, "Hurry, hurry up and open the door." ”

His soldiers hurriedly moved the barricades, opened the city gate, and watched Wu Tao drive into Xicheng. A soldier guarding the city saw that the carriage was gone, so he ran to the captain and asked quietly, "Who did the general go in just now?"

The captain said with a look of fascination: "Grand Commander." ”

The soldier hesitated for a moment and asked curiously, "The Grand Commander is so young?"

The captain looked stunned, looked down at the soldiers, and said seriously: "Are you stupid, the commander must be in the carriage." ”

"Oh," the soldier nodded in understanding.
