Chapter 158: Night Talk

"Grandpa." When Li He arrived in Taishi Li's study, the powerful minister of the Great Xia Kingdom was flipping through some local reports.

"Tielang, how about the 'Ten Thousand Flowers Society'? Are you still having fun? Master Li stopped what he was doing and raised his head. The two maids next to him immediately poured tea for Li He.

Li He could feel that there were at least ten or more masters inside and outside the house protecting his grandfather, although he had no true qi and could not know how many people there were and where they were, but this feeling was absolutely not wrong. I couldn't help but think in my heart, grandpa was already so tightly guarded, so wouldn't the emperor of Great Xia have to be protected by dozens of masters at all times?

Li He sat down and took a sip of the teacup, and said, "Grandpa, I met someone at the 'Ten Thousand Flowers Club' today. ”

"Oh? Who? Master Li said, he knew that his grandson would come over to tell him about this person, then this person must be unusual.

"The man looked like twenty-five or sixteen, with a squad of men, all armed with knives." Li He described: "Moreover, he had a jade pendant hanging from his waist, dark blue, in the shape of a dragon. ”

"Huh?!" Master Li said: "Dark blue dragon jade? ”

"Yes, do you know who this person is?" Li He asked.

Master Li muttered, "Twenty-five or six...... Blue Dragon Jade ...... It should be Tengling Wang Han Ping, that's right. ”

"King Tengling?" Li He's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Could it be that King Tengling who almost became the crown prince?" ”

"Not bad. Did you meet him at the 'Ten Thousand Flowers Club'? Did you say anything? ”

"No, we didn't say a few words, and we didn't explain our identities to each other." Li He said, he didn't say anything about meeting Huazi.

"This King Tengling is also a straw bale, not much better than the current prince. However, we are now strongly supporting the crown prince to ascend the throne, and when the crown prince ascends the throne as the new emperor, he will not be able to stay. Master Li said.

Li He nodded, and now he has the bottom in his heart. The current emperor is frail and sickly, and it has become more and more difficult in recent years, and I am afraid that it will not be long before his soul returns to the west and the crown prince ascends the throne. When the time comes, this Tengling King, hehe......

"Grandpa, by the way, what kind of character is Fan Xuan?" Li He thought of the Nalan family's backer in the court.

Li Taishi said: "It's just a clown who can pat on the back, playing in front of the emperor with a mouth." But this kid is still an acquaintance, what can be done and what can't be done, and he is still clear, otherwise he wouldn't have lived so long. How? Tielang, haven't you always been unconcerned about the affairs of the government? Why are you asking about this today? Could it be that this model has a conflict with you? ”

Li He said: "That's not true, but Fan Xuan's brother-in-law is from the Nalan family, and the Nalan family is very arrogant in the martial arts." ”

Master Li thought for a while and said, "The Nalan family, I seem to have heard of it. As he spoke, he looked at Li He: "Tie Lang, after the emperor's celebration meeting, you should also be knighted and crowned, and in this Xia Kingdom, you can be regarded as a first-class person." If you want to do something, as long as you think it should be done and worth doing, then do it, don't worry too much, and your father, brother and grandfather will do everything for you. ”

What grandpa's words implied, Li He naturally understood it. Grandpa almost didn't say, "If you want to destroy the Nalan family, you can destroy it, and Fan Jian doesn't have to worry about it."

"My grandson understands." Li He replied respectfully, with grandpa's words, many things don't have to look forward and backward so much. It can also be seen from the conversation just now that the Li family's current power in the Xia Kingdom is almost to the point of covering the sky with one hand. It seems that after the turmoil in the capital in the previous period, it was the Li family who benefited.

"By the way, don't run around tomorrow night, and have a meal at the house with your brother. By the way, I will introduce you to someone. ”

"Who?" Li He wondered.

"You'll know when the time comes, you'll definitely want to get to know this kid anyway." Master Li smiled.

Here Li He was talking with his grandfather easily, but Hua Zi, who returned to Washington, was blocked by his father Hua Yunqiang.

Seeing Xiaobi kneeling on the ground with tears on her face, and her father standing in the room with a blushing face, next to a long wooden board with small nails, which was a special tool for the Hua family to perform family law, Huazi's heart couldn't help but sink.

"You still know you're back?" Hua Yunqiang's voice seemed to be calm, but Hua Zi knew how big the anger contained in this voice was, and he knelt down silently with his head down.

"It's my daughter who forced Xiaobi to help me, it's none of her business, just ask my father to punish my daughter alone." Huazi bowed down, she had only seen her grandfather practice the family law once in her life, and the object of that family law was the father in front of her, every time she recalled the scene at that time, her heart couldn't help but tremble.

That thing must hurt when it hits you, right? Huazi glanced at the spiked plank on the table, and thought to herself. She has been a good girl in the family since she was a child, and she has always been what her parents say and do, and she is a well-known lady in the capital, so she has never been punished by family law.

Today, it seems that there is no escape from this board. Thinking of this, Hua Zi couldn't help but think of Li He she had just met, and remembered his warm eyes and sunny smile.

Would he be sad for me if he knew I had been beaten? Huazi thought secretly in her heart.

Hua Yunqiang waved his hand to let Xiaobi go down, but Xiaobi saw the terrible nailed plank and the thin delicate body, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "Master, Miss, she is also playful for a while......"

"Go down!" Before she could finish speaking, Hua Yunqiang glared and shouted.

Xiaobi had no choice but to swallow the rest of the words into her stomach, biting her lower lip and looking at Huazi who was kneeling on the ground, and slowly exited the room.

Only Hua Yunqiang and Hua Zi were left in the room now.

But to Huazi's surprise, her father walked up to her calmly and said, "Tell me, what did you do when you went out today?" ”

Huazi knelt on the ground and told everything she had seen and heard at the "Ten Thousand Flowers Club" today, but she didn't say that she saw the group of noble sons, the white-clothed boys, and the gray-robed sons with good-looking smiles.

Hua Yunqiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Hua Zi was just going out for a walk, and said, "I haven't met anyone who knows you, right?" ”

Huazi shook her head and said, "No." ”

"It's good if you don't have it......" Hua Yunqiang sat down on the chair next to him and said to his daughter: "Get up, it's cold on the ground, don't get sick." You're really, you're about to get married, and you're running around. If people bump into this, knowing that the daughter of the Hua family is showing up, your reputation will be ruined! ”

Huazi stood up from the ground, but thought unconvinced in her heart, doesn't Xiaowen often show up? Is she ruined? The man who wants to marry her is different, and he can line up from the Suzaku Gate to the White Tiger Gate.

"Zi'er, you should know that your fiancé is a descendant of the Li family, and he is also the hottest figure in the Great Xia Kingdom today. The marriage with the Li family is very important to our Hua family, and it is even a matter of life and death. Do you understand? Hua Yunqiang said bitterly.

Huazi nodded and said nothing.

"Ugh." Hua Yunqiang sighed lightly, "I didn't know that you also wanted to be like Xiaowen, shopping at will, drinking and chatting with other official ladies and sons in the capital, and going out with them." But Zi'er, you must know that now the Xia Kingdom seems to be peaceful in the world, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging, and the major forces are fighting openly and secretly, and you may suddenly wake up one night, and half of your friends will never see the sun the next day. You can only live happily if you find a strong support. ”

Huazi still nodded numbly, not actually listening to what her father was saying, her mind was full of the beautiful scenery of the colorful butterflies flying around her body, and the person's beautiful smile. Thinking about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

Hua Yunqiang saw that his daughter actually laughed when he heard it, knowing that she didn't listen to what she was talking about at all, he couldn't help but be angry, slapped the table, and shouted, "Did you understand!?" ”

Huazi was taken aback, looking at her father in a daze, at a loss.

"Get on your knees!" Hua Yunqiang shouted.

Huazi immediately knelt down and lowered her head.

"It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't be able to remember." Hua Yun gritted his teeth angrily, picked up the wooden board and was about to shoot it on Hua Zi's back, but halfway through the shot, he was still stuck in mid-air, and he still couldn't do it, and after a long time, he eased his tone and said, "Don't go out without permission in the future, you know?" I'll ask Xiaowen and Miss Chu to accompany you more, if it's really boring, just take the carriage out for a walk, don't sneak out by yourself. ”

Huazi nodded silently and agreed, "My daughter knows." ”

Hua Yun sighed: "I think you're tired too, go take a shower and rest early." As he spoke, he got up and walked to the door, and after crossing the threshold, he said, "Remember, don't sneak out again, otherwise you won't see Xiaobi next time you come back." ”

Hua Zi's delicate body trembled, and she hurriedly said: "My daughter will definitely not go out secretly again." ”

The next day, the Huang family on Beixi Street was visited by a group of brocade-robed warriors. It is said that it was like raiding the house, turning the Huang family upside down, and insisting that they hand over a maid named Xiaobi. But the Huang family doesn't have a maid named Xiaobi at all, how can they hand it over? In the end, the annoyed brocade-robed warriors beat the head of the Huang family and the son half to death before leaving.

People who know a little bit of the inside story say that these brocade-robed warriors are the subordinates of Tengling Wangye, the famous "Tengling Jinwei". But his prince can't bully people like this, this is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital, is this royal law still useful? Could it be that in this world, it is really their Han family who can say it?

But having said that, no one dared to confront King Tengling, since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, let alone the royal family. Even the victims, the father and son of the Huang family, could only swallow their anger and consider themselves unlucky. Although they still haven't figured out why this group of brocade-robed warriors are bothering them. Even subconsciously thought that they had offended them before, and they came to take revenge this time.
