Chapter 52: Ghost Li
It was another morning, the sun shone on the Aiya City, the mess caused by the war at the head of the Yaya City had been cleaned, in the southeast corner of the head of the Yaya City, a huge tomb was located there, the base of the tomb surrounded by granite, the diameter was hundreds of meters, and the new soil still exuded the fragrance of grass. And a huge stone about 30 meters long, about 5 meters wide, up to 2 meters thick, polished and smooth, is placed in front of the tomb at this moment, and at this moment several stonemasons are carving something on it, this is the tombstone of this tomb, which will be engraved with the name of each martyr, erected in front of the tomb, for people to pay their respects.
A courtyard in the city, about ten acres, the courtyard is full of green trees, a number of bluestone brick houses are hidden in the shade of the trees, here is the other courtyard that Bai Pi gave to Xiao Hei, Bai Pi not only sent the yard out, but also all the miscellaneous personnel in the yard, also did not take any away, just stayed in the yard, took care of Xiao Hei's daily life, and the salary was paid by Bai Pi. The courtyard is arranged in a quiet and comfortable place, which was originally used by Bai Pi to relax and raise his surname, and now it is the residence of Panbiao, Panhu, Panxie, and Panjie, Xiao Hei and Ji Ma and Ji Ping, sometimes they live here, and sometimes they live directly in Baifu.
In a house at the back of the courtyard, there is a stout man lying on the bed, it is the head of the Lux mercenary regiment Li Gui, since that day in the wolf valley was rescued by Xiao Hei, it has been five days, under the effect of a drop of ten thousand years of stone milk, Li Gui has been alive at that time, these days have been lying on the bed in this courtyard to recover internal injuries and strength, he knows very well what kind of injury he suffered at that time, to be honest, he can't believe that he can still live. Today he felt that he had returned to normal, not only that, but he felt that his own strength had taken a step further, his body was full of internal qi, and the intermediate level of the Sword Sect, which had not progressed for many years, also felt slightly loose, what was wrong? Could it be that he almost died, but instead triggered his physical potential? Ghost Li was puzzled, but no matter what, let's thank others for their life-saving grace first, except for the servants in the past few days, he hasn't seen the owner of this courtyard, maybe it's the teenagers who saved him in the Wild Wolf Valley in the first place.
Thinking about it, Ghost Li opened the door, walked out, looked at the courtyard, and saw a particularly tall house in the middle, which should be the main house of this courtyard, and the owner should be there.
When Ghost Li came to the front of the tall house, he looked up and saw an old man and a little girl sitting under a gazebo talking and laughing, and after a while, Ghost Li felt that this old man was so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, seeing the old man looking at himself, he couldn't think about it, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "In Xia Ghost Li, may I ask if the uncle is the master here? Where are the little brothers who saved my life in the Wild Wolf Valley that day? Ghost Li wants to thank him for saving his life in person." ”
"Oh, hello! Imps, I call them out. Ji Ping shouted into the room after speaking.
Xiao Hei and a few of them were discussing the affairs of the Red Flower Chamber of Commerce in the house, and when they heard Ji Ping shouting, they hurriedly came out and said, "Grandpa," raised his eyes and saw Ghost Li, and hurriedly asked, "Ah." Captain Li, how are you?"
When Ghost Li saw Xiao Hei come out, he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground with a pop of his knees, kowtowed, and said, "Ghost Li bows to thank Little Brother for saving his life." ”
"Commander Li, get up, you can't do it, you can't do it, you can't do it, you should do it to save the life and help the wounded, and Commander Li doesn't have to care too much. Xiao Hei's internal qi gushed out and held up Ghost Li.
Li Ghost couldn't worship anymore, stood up with Xiao Hei's strength, and said: "In short, this kindness Li Ghost has put it in my heart, and where it will be useful in the future, Li Ghost will never give up, then it is inconvenient for me to bother you anymore, farewell!"
"Okay, Captain Li, goodbye, oh yes, your mercenary group is gone, what are your plans for the future?" Xiao Hei asked casually.
Ghost Li laughed miserably, his eyes were foggy, and he said: "What else can I plan, fortunately, I have eaten military meals for many years, and I will be a thug and an instructor in the future." Don't say it, say goodbye!" Arching his hand to everyone, Ghost Li walked towards the gate of the courtyard. This stout man was at a loss in his heart, yes, where did he go, the mercenary group is gone, and there is no home of his own here, let alone savings, the entire mercenary group has eaten a meal without a meal.
Xiao Hei and the others looked at Ghost Li's back, but the stout back gave people the feeling that they were alone, desolate and lonely, and they didn't feel sorry for themselves.
"Captain Li, please stay. A sweet voice sounded crisply, it turned out to be Himma, everyone didn't know what Himema was doing when he called Ghost Li, and they all looked at it suspiciously.
"Ah, is there anything wrong with the young lady? Ghost Li turned around and asked.
"Commander Li just said that you were born in the military and want to be an instructor in the future, so can you please ask Commander Li to talk a little bit about the previous military affairs, come, let's sit in the pavilion and talk, don't stand. Ji Ma invited, and at this time, Ji Ping seemed to know Ji Ma's thoughts, and nodded with a slight smile.
Li Gui walked back again, everyone sat down in the pavilion, Ji Ma spread the tea in front of everyone, Li Gui picked up the teacup, drank it in one gulp, put down the teacup, took a deep breath, thought for a while, and said: " Since the young lady asked, Li Gui told the truth, speaking of military career, a little ashamed, I am a person from the Pearl Empire, I have only been in the Song Zhao Empire for a few years, in the Pearl Empire, I joined the army at the age of seventeen, starting from the private, after 20 years of hard work, when I left the army, I was the admiral of the Longjiang Province of the Pearl Empire, and I also knew a little about the army from the army to training, array operations, etc. However, because of my upright surname, I couldn't get used to the young master of the mighty prince of the Pearl Empire bullying men and women, and I was angry for a while, and punished him, but I didn't expect to be the root of the bane, and it didn't take long for him to be framed and dismissed by his mother. Three years ago, because he was afraid of getting involved in a big matter, he led the brothers of the mercenary group to the Song Zhao Empire, and now he has fallen into this step, hey, what's wrong? What's wrong with you?"
Looking at Ji Ping, Ghost Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and a portrait appeared in his mind, yes! It's him! Prince Anping of the Hanliu Empire of the Dark Flower List! The Lux Mercenary Regiment didn't leave his hometown and came to Song Zhao because of this prince, and now it is all gone, but can this be blamed on others, I don't know what kind of disaster my brother brought to others, I can only blame my brother for his lack of greed, cause and effect have their own retribution, and they are really unhappy. So Ghost Li figured it all out, his eyes slowly changed from initial shock to peace, and he looked at Ji Ping quietly.
Ji Ping looked at the change in Ghost Li's eyes, as if he saw Ghost Li's inner activities, and finally saw Ghost Li looking at him quietly, Ji Ping grinned and said in a deep voice: "Captain Li, what happened three years ago, the surnames of hundreds of people in Panzu Village, Wharton City, are gone, can this Captain Li know?"
"Your Excellency, ah, no, Mr. Ji, three years ago, one of my brothers was greedy and blinded his mind and made such a move, although I did not agree with it at that time, but I did not try to stop him, for fear of being implicated, so we left our hometown and came to Song Zhao. Although he was also murdered later, but brought endless disasters to Panzu Village, I don't want to say anything to shirk here, the Lux Mercenary Group is no longer there, I am the only one, I will bear everything, how to deal with it is up to Mr. Ji, but at that time, my brother's starting point was good, that is, to receive the dark flower bounty, so that the brothers of the Lux Mercenary Group can live a comfortable life, that's it, this matter has also been uncomfortable in my heart in the past few years. Now Ghost Li is here, at your disposal. Ghost Li said calmly, and looked at Ji Ping quietly.
After a long time, Ji Ping sighed and said: "Commander Li, let's go, we can also see a thing or two about the things back then, although the matter started because of the Lux Mercenary Group, but the blame is not on your Lux Mercenary Group, and now you are not our enemy, so if you don't know each other, you can go." ”
Back then, when he learned that Panzu Village had been burned to ashes by a fire, he had such a pimple in his heart, and this upright man felt guilty in his heart! Just because of the selfish interests of his mercenary group, he ruined a village, and hundreds of people's surnames. Anyway, it was a matter provoked by the Lux mercenary group, I thought that I would never be able to get out of this courtyard today, but suddenly heard Ji Ping let him go, so he was stunned, this prince really deserves to be a prince, how big a mind does it take to say what he said just now!
"By the way, Captain Li, please keep my identity secret, I believe in Captain Li's character!" Ji Ping added, turning around and leaving with a few children.
Ghost Li was moved at this time, his heart was warm, he knelt down in the pavilion with a pop, and said to Ji Ping with tears in his eyes: "The prince is virtuous, willing to forgive Ghost Li and trust Ghost Li, but Ghost Li also wants to reassure the prince, and Ghost Li will repay the prince's great kindness with eternal secrecy." As soon as he finished speaking, Ghost Li's wrist flipped, and a dagger appeared in his hand, and then he stabbed himself in the heart.
Xiao Hei was standing very close to Ghost Li, under the induction of the qi machine, holding it with one hand, Ghost Li only felt that his arm could no longer move, at this time the dagger had just pierced the clothes on his chest, pierced the skin on his chest, and a trace of blood was imprinted on his clothes, but this dagger could not be pierced anymore.
"Why should Regiment Leader Li be like this, since you let you go, I naturally believe in you, if you remember your death, won't you trap me and be unjust?" Ji Ping said with a smile and looked at Ghost Li.
"Lord, Ghost Li is blunt, Ghost Li is not to blame, but, Lord, Ghost Li doesn't want to leave, Ghost Li's life will be Lord's in the future, and please take it in. Ghost Li looked at Ji Ping's smiling eyes and understood something, so he kowtowed and said.
"Hehe, okay, since you want to die, then your old man will take this life first, not to mention the place where it is really useful for you, get up first, let's go to the house to talk." After Ji Ping finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the high house.
Li Gui lay down and kowtowed again, then stood up and followed.
