Chapter 9 Undercurrents Float
Li Anping, a guard in the Wancheng City Lord's Mansion, only does some patrol and stand guard work on weekdays, although he is only in his early twenties, fortunately there is a relative in the family who has been working in the kitchen of the City Lord's Mansion for ten years, and he loves knives, guns and sticks since he was a child, although he went to the Holy Forest Academy to participate in the test at the age of ten and did not find that he has the talent to practice, but he is not discouraged, and he insists on practicing every day to make him practice well. Seeing that he was eighteen years old, his parents did not want him to join the army, for fear that there would be three long and two short, and he heard that the relatives at home said that the city lord's mansion was recruiting patrols and guards, and if he could enter the city lord's mansion, he would avoid the danger of being caught by the government and join the army, so he hoped to be introduced into the city lord's mansion.
Feng Chuntang, the housekeeper Feng Chuntang, who was in charge of recruitment, liked Li Anping when he first saw him, and later ordered someone to investigate his background and found that it was clean, thinking that Gongzi loved to practice martial arts, so he recruited him to follow Gongzi. Now that Li Anping has come to the City Lord's Mansion for the third year, the treatment of the City Lord's Mansion is not bad, the monthly salary of two taels is much better than working outside, and he patrols for half a day every day, and the remaining half a day can be arranged by himself. Li Anping likes to be on duty during the day, because the city lord and young master he follows often invite a few palace guards to accompany him to practice his hands and feet after morning exercises.
Since entering the City Lord's Mansion, there are not many opportunities for him to make a move, although there will be many concerns about dealing with Childe, and the young master is young and not yet ten years old, so he has to feed Childe. At the beginning, I had to be cautious, I didn't want the son to become more and more powerful in the past few days, the punches and kicks on the body were already better than adults, and the son was petite, flexible in body, and followed the young master many times, and could only be beaten passively. If it weren't for the fact that he had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his body was rough and thick, I am afraid that he really couldn't sparring his son, and now he could at least be a sandbag at best. Childe is also kind, every time the guards finish with him, they will ask the Yuhuan Yukou girl to give them food and silver, at first everyone refused, and later found that the young master was generous and gladly accepted.
In the early morning of this day, Li Anping was still giving his son a sandbag, not because he did it on purpose, but because Zhao Sansheng's body broke through the wall in the past few days, his physical body has become more and more powerful after cultivating the demon yuan aura, and his strength, speed, and reaction have increased dramatically every day. In the past, they still needed to deal with Li Anping's tricks, after all, although he had practiced Wufowl Opera since he was a child, he was only a child under the age of ten after all. Now he needs to collect five points of strength, he was originally small and fast, but now he is collecting five points and putting five points, and his moves are unpredictable, and now these guards are no longer his opponents.
After fighting for about half an hour, Zhao Sansheng took the attack and said: "Brother Anping, it's okay, let's stop here today." β
Li Anping listened to Childe's words as if he was amnesty: "Yes!" Then he rubbed the place on his body that had been beaten by Childe, which was very painful, and grinned and smiled: "Childe has been a lot more powerful in the past few days, if I fight more, I'm afraid I won't be able to get up tomorrow." β
Li Anping is tall and big, and his face is honest, Zhao Sansheng likes him very much: "Brother Anping, next month my father is going to take me and my sister out, you also pack up and prepare, this time you can go with us." Li Anping was rubbing his body with grinning teeth, but after hearing this, he immediately reined in and agreed to the son.
Just after explaining to Li Anping, I heard Ziqi babbling and ran over, at this time the sun had already risen, Zhao Sansheng had a good lecture on the habit of getting up late in the next period, and after Ziqi muttered a little mouth, Zhao Sansheng had to step forward and touch his head to please the little girl. The little girl's anger came and went quickly, and she took her brother and left together.
Li Anping returned to his post to patrol after seeing his son leave, and there was no accident after a day passed. When someone came to change shifts, he took leave with the captain and prepared to go home to visit his parents who he hadn't seen for a long time. The captain undoubtedly has it, and Li Anping has indeed not returned home for half a year, so he agreed. Li Anping didn't tell anyone else when he left, everything seemed so normal.
Li Anping walked all the way to his home in the west of the city, and when he passed by, he met many old neighbors and greeted them one by one, and when he saw the old wine shop on the old street, he also mentioned a pot of old wine by the way, although it was not very precious, but the taste was strong and long, and it had a special taste. When I returned home, I saw that my parents had not returned, so I found some ingredients in the kitchen and prepared a dinner.
The next-door neighbor Lao Wangtou saw the smoke rising in the kitchen but didn't see Lao Li and the two old mouths go home, so he looked along the fence with suspicion, and saw that it was the boy from Lao Li's family who came back, and greeted happily: "Anping is back?"
Li Anping saw that it was Uncle Wang next door and replied with a smile, and the two talked nonsense after not seeing each other for a long time. But in half an hour, a table of three dishes and one soup was ready, although not to say gorgeous and rich, but also a small dish at home has a warm feeling. Li Anping sat down at the table, did not move the chopsticks, closed his eyes and waited until it was dark, heard the movement outside the house, and saw a pair of men and women who were about half a hundred years old and had slightly gray hair walked in. The man carried a basket on his back, which contained something unknown, wrapped in a gray cloth, with a face like Li Anping's Chinese characters, full of stubble and strong limbs, looking full of energy, thinking that his parents had returned.
When the couple saw Li Anping at the table, Li's mother was happy and stepped forward to ask for warmth, and Li's father untied the basket on his back and put it on the side of the table and said: "It's very timely to come back, it just so happened that I went out with your mother today to get some food, and I think you haven't opened meat for half a year." "If Li Anping's captain heard Father Li say this here, he would definitely be angry, if you want to talk about food, the guards in this city lord's mansion eat better than ordinary wealthy people. The lord of the city was originally from the army, and he was even more considerate to his guards, and he had three meals a day, and two meals were meat! You must know that the average wealthy family would eat meat at most once a day.
Li Anping said with a serious face: "Wait a minute, let's talk about it, close them first." Seeing that Li Anping was solemn, the couple looked around, and saw that it was dark and there were no pedestrians outside the house, so Li Fu closed the door, and Li's mother took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp and candle.
Li Anping saw that it was confirmed and said: "Next month, Zhao Yichuan will prepare to go out to find out the people's situation, and you will inform the above to get ready." The husband and wife knew that this was a big deal and immediately agreed. Li Anping continued: "There will be two Jin Dan on the side of Zhao Yichuan on this trip, but I don't know secretly, there will be no more than four in total, Zhao Yichuan's daughter Zhao Ziqi will also be casual, and there is a female monk surnamed Wu next to Zhao Ziqi will also follow, and her cultivation has not been ascertained so far." and Zhao Yichuan's son Zhao Sansheng will also follow, the second son is talented and intelligent, he is a scourge, and he will get rid of it by all means!"
Mother Li: "Counting Zhao Yichuan, it is at least three golden pills, then the female cultivator surnamed Wu has to find out how to find out, otherwise our side will be more passive." β
Li Anping: "The patrol is next month, I don't dare to make more moves, if I am discovered, my efforts will be wasted." This time, Zhao Yichuan's son brought me by name, and when the time comes, we will definitely succeed when we work together. β
Father Li: "No problem, I will notify the above to prepare properly, there are still a few lines in the city, and this success is worthy of our hard work in the past few years." Let's not talk about it first, lest the partition wall have ears, this is the food I took today, and I will satisfy your hunger first!" I saw Father Li take out the things in the back basket, open the package, take out two human legs, take one of them and hand it to Li Anping.
Li Anping saw that his eyes lit up, and saliva was already flowing out of his mouth: "I haven't opened meat for more than half a year, don't you know, looking at those young maids in the house all day long, I am so hungry!" As a result, the legs handed by Li's father devoured them. Li's father and Li's mother didn't care about it, and the other two also began to share the time.
At this time, the lights in the house were flickering, and the shadows of the three people were printed on the wall, and I saw that there were three tails wagging behind the shadows of the three peopleγγγγγγ
