Hearing Li Hao's words, Zhao Ceying said, "The emperor's grace is vast, and our father and son are grateful to Dade.

However, the official family's will only said that my father was summoned to Beijing, but they did not say what they were going to Beijing for.

Today, I will tell you the truth with Master Li, my father and son have always been feared by the imperial court, and they dare not go to Beijing this time, because they are really afraid that they will be lost on the cusp of this storm."

Li Hao smiled and said, "What you mean by this is that you want to bargain with the officials."

At this time, Zhao Ceying hurriedly explained: "We naturally don't dare to do this, I just hope that Master Li can help relay this to the palace and ask for peace of mind for our whole family.

As long as I have this reply, I can persuade my father to accompany him to Beijing."

Li Hao was silent for a long time after hearing this, and asked, "Why don't you go and tell Han Daxiang about this, if he agrees to this matter, wouldn't it be more secure."

Zhao Ceying replied: "Some small things, where you need to bother Minister Han, I believe that as long as Master Li is willing to help, it can be done."

Hearing this, Li Hao looked at Zhao Ceying, and Zhao Ceying did not avoid his eyes, and the two looked at each other for a while.

Li Haocai said, "Okay, I will inform the official family of your words, but I don't know how the official family will reply."

Zhao Ceying hurriedly thanked, "No matter what the official family replies, my father and son will remember Lord Li's kindness for help."

After Li Hao saw that the topic was over, he was about to leave, but before leaving, Li Hao asked one last question: "Do you know what the group training envoy said today?"

Zhao Ceying replied: "This is what I want to say, and I haven't mentioned it to my father before, so I don't think my father knows."

Listening to the words that didn't match the previous promise, Li Hao didn't ask any more.

"yes, I see." After Li Hao said this, he said goodbye to Zhao Ceying and returned to his courtyard.

In the evening, Han Qi called Li Hao over for questioning, and when Li Hao arrived, he found that Ouyang Xiu was also in the room, and he didn't know what the two were talking about.

Seeing Li Hao come in, Han Qi asked, "You have made arrangements for the transfer of people that you said yesterday."

Li Hao replied: "Today I have sent someone to rush back to Bianjing quickly, if the speed is fast, it is estimated that people will be able to arrive in Yuzhou in three days."

After hearing this, Han Qi said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, and let me know if there is any news."

Then he motioned for Li Hao to go down, but Li Hao said at this time: "Great Minister, Zhao Ceying, the son of the regimental training envoy today, found me and told me something."

These words immediately attracted the attention of the two, only to hear Han Qi ask, "What did he say?"

So Li Hao said what Zhao Ceying deliberately found him today and said.

After the two listened, Ouyang Xiu first asked, "He said that this is what he wants to ask, and it has nothing to do with his father, you are talking to him directly, do you think what he said is true or false?"

Li Hao replied, "In my opinion, Zhao Tuanlian should know this.

But I think it doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as Zhao Ceying has this idea, it is always not so difficult for a son to persuade his father."

Hearing this, Han Qi said, "Since he wants to answer, then you might as well help him ask, but not now, wait until your people finish inquiring about it."

"Yes," Li Hao replied, and then confirmed that there was no problem, and Han Qi asked Li Hao to leave first.

After Li Hao left, Han Qi said to Ouyang Xiu, "It seems that our group training envoy is not so calm as water."

Ouyang Xiu said, "That is the throne after all, who can not be moved if it really falls on the head.

But judging by this person's temperament, if he is really allowed to ascend the throne, will it have an impact on what we will do next?"

Han Qi sighed at this time: "How do I know this, I can't see through people's hearts, but we are all in the court now, try to persuade as much as possible."

Ouyang Xiu also said at this time, "Yes, that's the only way. It's a shame that we're starting from scratch now, and it's really impermanent."

Then there was a deep silence between the two.

In the next few days, officials from Bianjing took turns to visit Zhao Zongquan, thinking of various excuses to persuade Zhao Zongquan to enter Beijing.

But on the other hand, there was the silence of Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu, the two of them seemed to have forgotten this mission, except for seeing Zhao Zongquan on the first day, and they didn't look for it again.

And Li Hao's side is even more relaxed, after all, the task he came here is mainly to guard, and now everyone is staying in the regimental training embassy, and there is no problem in terms of security.

Li Hao is more relaxed on weekdays, so he simply goes to Yuzhou City if he has nothing to do.

The main thing is that Li Hao is hanging out with two guards, as for Zhao Ceying, who said that he wanted to take Li Hao to play, after talking to Li Hao, he didn't see anyone for a few days.

Until this day, Li Hao had just left the regimental training embassy when he saw the stone.

So Li Hao found an excuse to get rid of the guards and go to find a stone, and then the two found a restaurant and talked in the box.

Li Hao asked, "Why did you bring someone here, your injuries are all good!"

Shi replied, "The injury has long been healed, and it just so happens that my son-in-law is now at home, and he doesn't need me to do anything, so after receiving your letter, he asked me to bring someone over to help."

Li Hao said, "That's pretty good, after all, I can be more at ease when you do things.

How many people have you brought this time, and where are they now?"

Shi replied, "Didn't you say that this time I just wanted people to inquire about the news, so I picked more than 20 clever ones to bring over.

They can't fight, but walking the streets and asking for news, that's definitely a good hand.

Needless to attract the attention of others, I left them all outside the city and waited, and I was the only one who entered the city.

I was thinking about how to inform you, but you came out on your own."

Li Hao was still satisfied with the arrangement of the stones, so he said, "Then you will go out of the city and tell them, and let them disperse directly to all parts of Yuzhou to find out the news, but don't arouse the suspicion of others.

In five days, let them meet in the city, and then they will summarize the situation."

After finishing the business, Li Hao asked again if anything happened in Bianjing City after he left.

So Shi said, "Bianjing City has not had anything to do recently, and the wind and waves are calm.

The only thing that has moved a little is the competition you organized, and there are really a lot of people participating this time.

Every day, the carriages enter and leave the city from Wansheng Gate, batch by batch, from morning to night."

Hearing this, Li Hao was relieved, and then he listened to the stone and said, "There is nothing big happening in Bianjing City, but there is something big in your family.

Since you were sent to Yuzhou by the official family, there have been more people who want to discuss relatives in your house, and Mrs. Yuan has also been to your house.

Shengsheng forced your parents to live on top of the village outside the city, and then stopped."

For the large number of people who go to his home, Li Hao can still understand.

But hearing Mrs. Yuan, who was specifically named by the stone, Li Hao was a little stunned, and asked curiously, "Which Mrs. Yuan can still force my mother away."

Shi explained: "Who else can it be, Yuan Wenshao of Zhongqin Bofu and their family, is to say to their daughter-in-law Yuan Wenying.

When he went to your house, he took the Sheng family girl with him, and your mother didn't want to directly refute the Sheng family's face, so she thought about avoiding it first."

After hearing this, Li Hao was a little annoyed, he didn't expect Yuan Wenshao's family to cause trouble for him, it seemed that he had to find something to do for Yuan Wenshao when he went back, so as to save him from being idle.

But thinking about it, I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and asked, "How do you know the news of my family so clearly?"

Suddenly hearing Li Hao's question, Shi hurriedly retorted, "I heard it by accident, and I will tell you when I think of it."

Li Hao chased and said, "No, Mrs. Yuan took Sheng Hualan to my house, you know that it's nothing.

But what exactly they talked about, how can you possibly know, my family

People and the Yuan family have so many mouths.

Or did Gu Tingye ask Yuan Wenshao directly, and then knew it from Sheng Hualan, but why did Gu Tingye ask this?"

Shi hurriedly defended: "I really didn't specifically inquire, I just heard it by accident."

But Li Hao didn't believe this, and when he thought of Gu Tingye's somewhat different attitude towards Minglan , he said directly: "You still don't tell the truth, Gu Tingye is not staring at my family, it's the Sheng family.

If I don't wait for me to return to Beijing, I will go and tell the Sheng family that Gu Tingye has been sending people to keep an eye on them, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Shi was stunned and asked, "How do you know?"

Hearing this, Li Haoden smiled and said, "Originally, I didn't know, but now that I know, Gu Tingye has taken a fancy to Minglan again."

After hearing this, the stone asked, "What, did my son-in-law take a fancy to him before?"

Li Hao didn't answer, but analyzed, "Gu Tingye thought that my mother might let me marry Minglan, so I specially inquired about my family's news, right?

Even the people of the Yuan family were instigated by Gu Tingye, and then Yuan Wenshao thought that this idea was good, so he told his mother, isn't it."

But Shi didn't want to open his mouth here, seeing that this was the case, Li Hao threatened: "Okay, it's okay if you don't say it, then when I return to Beijing, I will tell my mother to let him go to the Sheng family to marry Minglan."

I think the old lady of the Sheng family and my Uncle Sheng will not refuse, you let Gu Tingye prepare a congratulatory gift."

Hearing this, the stone couldn't hold back and said, "Don't embarrass me, you can go back to my son-in-law if you have something."

Hearing this, Li Hao also roughly figured out that Gu Tingye was responsible for this matter, and then Yuan Wenshao and Sheng Hualan felt that it was also very good, and then Mrs. Yuan appeared.

But it doesn't matter for the time being, after all, Wei won't agree, so there's no need to worry, just wait for yourself to return to Bianjing and deal with it.

Then Li Hao instructed the stone: "Okay, it's not difficult for me to be for you, I'll settle accounts with Gu Tingye after I go back."

You should arrange things as soon as possible, and when you have gathered the news, you will come to the city to look for me."

Hearing this, Shi Ru was pardoned, and hurriedly said goodbye to Li Hao and left.

Then Li Hao got out of the restaurant, walked around the city for a while, and then returned to the regimental training embassy, this time he happened to see the Geng brothers and Xiao Duan practicing in the martial arts arena.

It's just that this time, Shen Congxing and Zhao Ceying are not there, and they don't know what they are doing.

After taking a look, Li Hao was about to leave, but at this time, he heard a small teasing voice: "Master Li, why just stand there and watch, I don't want to try it."

Li Hao said, "No, I still have something to do, you guys are busy."

After speaking, he was about to leave, it can be seen that Li Hao is like this, Xiao Duan only thinks that Li Hao is not good at martial arts, so he said prevarication.

So he said, "Yes, I thought Master Li was afraid of being ugly and cowardly in front of others, so I didn't dare, it turned out that there was something.

Then Master Li should go and get busy, we can all understand."

Hearing this, Li Hao immediately stopped leaving, after all, this was provoked by someone to come to the door, with Li Hao's flexible self-esteem bottom line.

When facing Xiao Duan, there is no need to swallow his anger at all.

So he said, "Listening to Brother Xiaoduan's words, it seems that I can't show my hand today.

But it's not interesting for me to demonstrate alone, so why don't I compare it with Brother Xiaoduan, what do you think."

After hearing this, Xiao Duan immediately agreed, "Okay, that's really unwanted."

Then I heard Li Hao say: "But this light competition is not interesting, there must always be a color head, in order to stimulate the abilities of both sides more, do you say?"

Hearing that Li Hao took the initiative to increase the size, Xiao Duan also felt a little wrong, but thinking about what kind of kung fu Li Hao could have as a literati.

So he agreed, and said, "Okay, then what kind of color do you say?"

Seeing the small paragraph, Li Hao said, "That's it, it's a martial arts competition, let's

Use weapons as lottery heads.

This time, I came and brought a treasure knife given by the official family, which was quick and sharp, and I used this knife as a color head.

If I lose, the knife will belong to Brother Duan, and if Brother Duan loses, just find me a similar weapon, you see."

Hearing this, the Geng family brothers hurriedly grabbed Xiao Duan and persuaded in a low voice: "Such an object is worth a thousand gold, how can you have such a thing, quickly refuse it, otherwise what if you lose."

After all, he is an important member of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and I am afraid that even the regimental training envoy will not be able to speak for you at that time."

After listening to the persuasion of the Geng brothers, Xiao Duan suddenly hesitated.

Although Li Hao on the side didn't hear clearly, what they were talking about.

But he could roughly guess it, so he said, "Since Brother Xiaoduan is unwilling, then forget about this matter, you are busy, I will go and do something."

After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, and when he saw Li Hao, he was leaving.

Xiao Duan said, "Whoever says I don't want to, I will compare, and if I lose, I will also find you a good weapon like this."

Hearing Xiao Duan's agreement, Li Hao hurriedly replied, "Okay, Brother Xiao Duan is heroic, then it's up to you to say, how should we compare."

Xiao Duan thought for a moment and said, "Let's compete in three games, first archery, then empty-handed, and finally weapons, what do you think."

Li Hao promised, "Okay, then follow what Brother Duan said."

Seeing that Li Hao agreed, Xiao Duan asked people to bring bows and arrows and targets and set them up in the martial arts arena.

While waiting, Li Hao also ordered the guards to go to his room and bring the knife that was used as a color head.

At this time, Lao Geng said to Xiao Duan, "Why did you agree, if you lose, where can you find such a weapon."

After hearing this, Xiao Duan replied: "How could I lose, looking at the way he just heard that he was not comparable, he turned around and left, obviously he was trying to save face and wanted to scare me away with a priceless lottery.

Look at it, and when I win that knife back, I'll open your eyes."

At this time, Lao Geng said again: "Looking at his posture of decisively agreeing after you agreed, it doesn't look like a bluff."

Xiao Geng next to him said at this time: "That may just be his strong appearance, just to ask us to think like you, brother, so that we can back down by ourselves.

He is a tanhua, and he must usually hold a book and read it again, how much ability can he have."

Then Xiao Duan also echoed and spoke, looking at the optimistic appearance of these two people, Lao Geng's intuition was a little wrong, but the wood was already in the boat, so he didn't say anything more.

After a while, Li Hao's treasure knife arrived.

Li Hao deliberately demonstrated the sharpness of this knife to everyone, directly pulled out a hair and put it on the blade, and then gently blew the hair.

saw that the hair was split into two sections, and they couldn't pull out their eyes even when they saw a small section, after all, there was a martial artist who didn't like divine weapons.

At this time, the bow and arrow and the target had already been arranged, and Xiao Duan just wanted to get the knife in his hands as soon as possible.

So he hurriedly pulled Li Hao to start, Li Hao naturally didn't care about this, and let Xiao Duan come first, and then shoot later.

Xiao Duan was not modest, so he confidently did the past, picked a stone bow, and then walked to a distance of 100 steps from the arrow target, and directly hit the bull's-eye with three arrows.

Then he looked at Li Hao and motioned for Li Hao to come and shoot arrows.

However, Li Hao looked at the distance, and then shook his head to signal that he would not go to the location chosen by Xiao Duan.

Seeing this, Xiao Duan thought that Li Hao couldn't do it, so he said, "If Master Li can't do it, then this game is considered as a loss for you, and we can start the second game."

Hearing this, Li Hao smiled and said, "It's not that it can't be done, but I think it's a little simple."

After speaking, he stepped forward and picked up a bow with three buckets of stone, and walked back thirty steps from the position of shooting arrows from a small section.

Then he aimed at the target, and at first Xiao Duan and the Geng brothers only thought that Li Hao was for the sake of face, and it would be better to shoot far away and miss.

but

As Li Hao's first arrow hit the bull's-eye, several people's faces looked a little bad.

Later, Li Hao didn't shoot the bull's-eye once, and the faces of the three of them dropped by one point, until the ten arrows hit the bull's-eye, and the three of them were stunned at that time.

It was Li Hao who spoke: "Brother Xiaoduan, you can come to my position next."

It was only then that the three of them came back to their senses, but looking at Li Hao's signal, Xiao Duan was a little bit of a wax, it was already his stable strength just now, and he was not sure in the future.

At this time, Xiao Duan already had some regrets in his heart, but he had no choice, so he had to walk to the position where Li Hao was standing, ready to start shooting.

Of course, in the end, a miracle did not happen, and the ten arrows shot in the small section, a total of nine arrows hit the target, but only one arrow hit the bull's-eye, and one arrow even flew out of the target.

Seeing this result, the faces of the three of them were already a little unsightly, but they could only comfort themselves, thinking that there were still two games ahead, as long as they won, it would be fine.

And Li Hao is a literati after all, even if he has some leisure after studying, it is understandable to practice archery, but the real close combat is different.

It's just that the three of them are not all so optimistic, and Lao Geng was a little worried at this time, so he hurriedly sent someone to inform Zhao Ceying to come over quickly.
