Chapter 24 Parents: An Unexpected Reunion

The border between the Frankish Kingdom and the Kingdom of Atterbury is also a nameless town, because the merchants are also afraid of the generals, so few merchants are willing to settle in this town, so the town is still a small town, and it has not formed a heavy town like Damus.

But in such a small town, there is a mutton shop with a long history and famous in the mainland, which has stood for a hundred years, and has not changed at all, it is still a small shop. Li Yuxuan ran all the way and just arrived here for lunch.

Just under the eaves of the street, sitting on a black and shiny stool, drinking the fragrant and attractive old fire sheep's head soup, Li Yuxuan raised his head and exhaled, he was simply stunned.

"Isn't it cool?" A middle-aged man in a fluttering robe grabbed a long spoon and walked out of the kitchen of the mutton shop, it turned out to be Li Xia.

Li Yuxuan was stunned, pursed his lips, and lowered his head to the table of soup dishes.

"Eating mutton here without drinking some burnt knives is not enough to enjoy. Li Xia didn't know where he took out a round wine jug, took a sip beautifully, and asked, "Do you want to have some?"

Li Yuxuan didn't say anything, but grabbed the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.

With a "snap", the wine jug suddenly shattered, Li Yuxuan was drenched by the burning knife, and when he looked up, it was Xiao Zihan who glared at Li Xia angrily, and his meaning was obvious.

Li Yuxuan shook his head helplessly and continued to bury his head in hard work. Li Xia muttered, "Where is there a man who doesn't drink?"

Xiao Zihan hooked under the eaves, jumped down at this time, still glared at Li Xia, and said, "In the past few years since I was away, my son has taught you badly. ”

Li Xia didn't dare to talk back, just looked at Xiao Zihan's eyes shining, and muttered in a low voice: "Martial arts skills are getting higher and higher, but a woman, what's the use of high martial arts?"

"What did you say?" Xiao Zihan's ears were very smart, and he seemed to walk over very slowly, but in fact, Li Xia couldn't dodge at all, so he was screwed by Xiao Zihan's ears.

"Hey, hey, tap, my son is next to me. Li Xia jumped to his feet in pain, so he had to beg for mercy in a low voice.

"Mom, my dad took me to the Colosseum to watch the martial arts performances, to the Tiermu royal tent to drink milk wine, to the Hanging Gardens of Junggar to watch the mandala, and to ......," Li Yuxuan explained inappropriately.

"Stop...... Ah......h

Xiao Zihan was furious, and his hand, which was originally a little relaxed, suddenly increased his strength.

Everything Li Yuxuan said seemed to be a good trip, but which place was not a place for princes and nobles to enjoy, and how many cats were in it, Xiao Zihan naturally knew it clearly.

"To be honest, in the few years I've been away, where have you been fooling around?" Xiao Zihan asked fiercely without mercy.

"Haha......" Li Yuxuan leisurely ate a delicious meal, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his father deflated.

"Xuan'er, you eat slowly, go home with your mother when you're full. Xiao Zihan didn't let go, but looked back at Li Yuxuan gently, tears slowly filling her eyes.

Li Xia heard the implication of the words, took advantage of Xiao Zihan's inattention, got out of the clutches, and asked, "Do you want to take him back to the Purple Bamboo Forest?" No, no, you have to let Xuan'er go home first, meet the Great Elder, and a group of newly rescued slaves waiting for Xuan'er to go back." ”

"Rescue, hum!" Xiao Zihan sneered, then sighed inexplicably, looked at Li Xia gently, and said helplessly: "I came back this time to take Xuan'er to see his grandfather." Xuan'er is fifteen years old and has not yet met his grandfather, you know, I can't refuse my father, and this is also my efforts in the past few years. ”

Li Xia lowered his head and was silent, and after a while, he saw that Li Yuxuan was full, and then slowly asked, "How long are you going?"

Xiao Zihan shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's half a year if it's fast, and it's half a year if it's slow...... I can't come back for the rest of my life. ”

The sun outside the store was in the sky, and the store was as cold as a winter night, Xiao Zihan looked at Li Xia's resentful eyes, and said gloomily: "Xuan'er is full, it's time for us to set off." ”

Li Yuxuan put down the food in his hand, touched his clothes with both hands, and stood up with a smile, Li Xia was depressed for a while, and Xiao Zihan was sad for a while.

"Mom, don't worry, you can't do intense exercise after eating. Li Yuxuan smiled at Xiao Zihan, then walked over and patted Li Xia on the shoulder, and said, "Dad, ninety-nine steps after dinner, live to be nine hundred and ninety years old, you are not young, and your son will accompany you for a walk, how about it?"

Xiao Zihan hadn't seen Li Yuxuan for many years, and was a little surprised that Li Yuxuan didn't care about his attitude, but Li Xia didn't have much feeling, and still looked at Xiao Zihan with resentment, not saying a word.

After all, Li Yuxuan was too young to fully understand Li Xia's thoughts, so he said playfully: "Let's go, let's go, it's not a life and death parting, my son, I promise to come back within half a year, and I will give you a wife like a flower." ”

"It's not big, it's not small!" Xiao Zihan stomped his feet, and couldn't help but sigh, a flush crept up his cheeks, but his eyes were full of apologies.

Li Xia suddenly grabbed Li Yuxuan's hand and walked out silently.

The streets of the town are very short, and they will come to an end in a while, Li Xia also stopped, and said Wei Ran: "I went to the purple bamboo forest, and it was a luxury to bask in the sun......"

Li Yuxuan was also a little gloomy, no matter how difficult it was to smile, he said, "Don't worry, I will take care of my mother." ”

"Hmm. Li Xia shook his head, shook off the undeserved feelings, and said excitedly: "Now that you are the head of the family, you should grow up." How do you want to arrange for Lee to release them? This is your most successful business. ”

Li Yuxuan looked at Li Xia's smiling face, just like the noon sun that day, dazzling, thought about it, and finally did not question all kinds of questions about the escape process, and said: "I have arranged for the eagle to return to the grassland, and I will bring back all the good hands of the Eagle family, and select some good hands who are proficient in archery in Li Fang's team to form a team of archers, which can also be used as elite scouts." ”

Li Yuxuan slowed down, continued to recount his ideas for many days, and said: "Li Fang is extremely proficient in cavalry, especially the cavalry charge, and will transfer 2,000 people to form a cavalry according to Li Fang's requirements, and form a cavalry regiment with the eagle's archers. Named the Black Dragon Knights. Arrange those who don't want to fight, and the rest of the men can be used as family caravan guards.

After listening to Li Yuxuan's thoughts, Li Xia nodded, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Without conventional infantry, will it be too deformed, such a team is only suitable for entering the battlefield as a surprise soldier." ”

Li Yuxuan explained: "It costs money to raise an army, and if it is too large, it will drag down the development of the family's business, which is the real lifeblood of the Li family." This is the first army and will be the most loyal, and I hope they are the best of the best and the most decisive at a critical time. ”

Li Yuxuan talked about the idea of the future, and couldn't help but be angry, Li Xia looked at his growing son, and was also very comforted, and no longer asked about anything else, and said: "Your mother is very anxious, and I can only wait for you to come back and talk in detail." ”

Li Yuxuan looked back, but it was Xiao Zihan who led the two horses and walked over slowly, and the dust was not stained.

Li Xia looked at his wife and children silently, and only after a while did he touch Li Yuxuan's head, looked at Xiao Zihan and said, "Cherish all the way." ”

Li Yuxuan took the reins of the horse, turned over on the horse, looked back and saw his parents looking at each other silently, and couldn't help but be gloomy, and rode away.

Li Xia looked at the dust raised by Li Yuxuan when he left, and said in a low voice: "Let's go, my son is far away." ”

Xiao Zihan lightly pressed the saddle, floated on the horse's back, and looked back and said, "When I bring my son back, I won't go again, I will accompany you all the way to old age." ”

After Xiao Zihan finished speaking, he rode away, tears quietly sliding down his cheeks.
