Chapter 32: Camp Haw Par
Yanyun City, a mansion near the inner city of the Imperial Palace.
Although this mansion does not look good, people with a little status in Yanyun City know that this is the residence of His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Middle Kingdom.
The mountains and rivers have not been merged, and the rivers have not been unified, so the Emperor of Qi did not give any prince the title of king, and after the prince became an adult, he needed to move outside the palace and go to the court with hundreds of officials, which was also a continuation of the practice of the previous emperor.
And at this moment, in a room deep in the house.
"Your Highness, there is news from the Dragon and Tiger Inn that two Innate Realm masters sneaked late at night last night and wanted to probe the goods." A person dressed as a butler stood in front of the second prince and said respectfully.
"You mean... Two innate realms? I guess I heard it right, right? The second prince, who was sitting at the table, asked with squinted eyes.
"If you go back to Your Highness, it is indeed the two Innate Realms, otherwise it would be impossible to evacuate from the Dragon and Tiger Inn so easily."
"Hehe, that's interesting, but can you find out your identity?"
"There are some clues."
"Oh?" The second prince was slightly surprised, he knew the details of the Dragon and Tiger Inn, if it was the two innate realms, they should have to let them leave.
The butler smiled slightly, took a step closer, and said in a low voice:
One of them injured Liu He and his blood was stained on his body, and then Ye Yuntian followed the smell of blood to find the whereabouts of those two. Your Highness, do you want to guess, where is that? ”
"When you say that~ I think it's an acquaintance? Let me guess, it can't be our Zheng Guo Mansion, right? The second prince chuckled.
"Your Highness is wise!"
"Hey, that's a lot of fun. I had a little dispute with Li Ping'an during the day yesterday, and this night the people of the Li family have already found the Dragon and Tiger Inn. The second prince squinted his eyes and said softly.
"What does Your Highness mean... Did Li Ping'an do this? ”
"Hehe, it's just speculation. However, if this is the case, then this Li Ping'an is really not simple~"
"Can't you? Isn't this Li Ping'an a well-known gentleman? In addition to eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling on weekdays, looking for flowers and asking willows in Yunyan Building, what else can he do? The butler said with a frown.
"Because of this, if these are his disguises, how extraordinary must this man be?"
"This..."
"Haha, I'm just guessing casually, as for the truth, it has yet to be confirmed. However, even if this matter is not at his instigation, it must be the meaning of the Li family behind him, but... How do they know that there is a problem with the goods? ”
The second prince's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and this question really made him a little puzzled. It stands to reason that this is not the first time he has received merchants from other countries, this is his position in the court. But why is it that this time the caravan has just moved in, and someone in the Li family is alert? Moreover, if it weren't for Li Ping'an's instructions, who would it be? Li Shiming? Or Li Yi?
Thinking of these two people, the second prince couldn't help but have a headache, if it weren't for these two people, some things would have been settled a long time ago!
The butler was silent, and he couldn't answer the question.
"This Li family... What a big problem! I don't know where they suddenly popped out of the two innate realms, no wonder my father would rather marry to protect himself than watch the Li family become powerful! The second prince said through some gritted teeth.
"Hehe, Your Highness, don't worry, there is good news here for your subordinates."
"Oh? You said. ”
"The clean-up plan is ready."
"Good!"
......
The Li family
"Huh? Is the sun coming out in the west today? You even knew to come back for lunch? ”
At the dinner table, Chen Yun looked at Li Ping'an, a "rare guest" at the door, with a surprised expression. She had long been accustomed to him slipping away after breakfast, but she didn't expect him to run back just after noon. And Li Shiming next to her, as well as Li Ping'an's grandmother, all had the same expression.
The corners of Li Ping'an's mouth twitched slightly, and after glancing at his grandfather Li Yi, he said with a smile: "Oh, mother, isn't it Yanyu here, shouldn't I come back to eat with my daughter-in-law?" ”
"Yo, do you know that the smoke and rain are here? Then you disappeared after eating early in the morning? I tried to say two words to you, but I couldn't find anyone! Chen Yun pouted and said.
"I'm not... Something happened, and wasn't there smoke and rain to talk to you at the time? Li Ping'an smiled and spoke as he moved to Yang Yanyu's side and sat down.
"Bah, what can you do? It's nothing more than going to Yunyan Tower again, or going to the casino with Wang Liang, I still don't know you? Chen Yun scolded with disgust.
Li Ping'an felt aggrieved, he didn't expect to be scolded for lunch this time, he knew that he might as well eat in Yunyan Building. However, I don't know what happened to my mother today, suddenly so angry.
As soon as he turned his head, he met Yang Yanyu's snickering expression, and suddenly gritted his teeth, this girl didn't know how to help him say a few words.
"Okay, it's always a good thing that he can come back for dinner, so let's let them eat well first." Li Ping'an's grandmother couldn't help but speak.
Li Ping'an was slightly happy in his heart, and finally a savior spoke.
"Mother, don't help him talk yet, I don't mean to embarrass him. But if you think about it, he is sixteen years old this year, he is already an adult, and now that he has a daughter-in-law and a family, is it time to consider starting a business in the future? If you continue to fool around like this in the future, what is it like? Chen Yun looked at her grandmother and said softly.
"Yes, mother, he used to be an adult, and he didn't have a family, so he just had a big heart, but now he can't still be idle all day like before, right?" Li Shiming also followed along to help.
"This..."Grandmother was a little speechless, after all, what they said did make sense, and she couldn't protect Li Ping'an for the rest of her life.
Li Ping'an's eyes widened, and he felt a little bad, and sure enough, then he saw his grandmother smile and said to him: "Ping'an, what your father and mother said is not unreasonable." Tell your grandmother if there's anything you want to do. Being a petty official or running some small businesses of the Li family, everything is difficult at the beginning, but we can start with a simple one~"
Li Ping'an smiled bitterly and looked at his grandfather beside his grandmother as if asking for help, who thought of him but he didn't care about himself at all, and he looked like he didn't care about himself.
He hated it in his heart, but on the surface, he still had to laugh and say to his grandmother: "Grandmother, my grandson doesn't want to do anything, I just want to be by your side with you~"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present cast disdainful glances, and only the grandmother smiled from ear to ear.
"Ouch, my good grandson ~ Grandmother also likes you to be by my side ~"
"Mother! Don't be deceived by him, he just wants to use this excuse to make you happy, and he doesn't want to go out and do things! Chen Yun suddenly frowned and said.
Then he didn't wait for his grandmother to respond, and immediately turned his head to glare at Li Ping'an and said, "Li Ping'an! You talk to me well, you can answer whatever you ask, and then dare to play tricks, be careful that I ban you! ”
As soon as Li Ping'an heard this, the joy on his face suddenly disappeared, he knew that his mother was serious this time, if he was smiling again, he was afraid that he would not have good fruit to eat.
"Okay, okay, why don't I go to my grandfather's tiger and leopard camp for a few days?" Li Ping'an asked tentatively.
Although Li Yi retreated from the front ten years ago, he did not completely retreat from the court. When he retired ten years ago, he asked Emperor Qi for an army of no more than 1,000 people, saying that he wanted to build an elite army for Emperor Qi.
A thousand men and horses are not worth mentioning at all for Li Yi, who once held the military power of tens of millions of troops and now easily puts it down, so Emperor Qi did not hesitate at all, and directly opened a new camp for him next to the garrison outside Yanyun City, and then transferred a total of 1,000 newly enlisted soldiers from each battalion to train him.
This is also the origin of Li Yi's current title, the commander of the tiger and leopard battalion!
"No way!" Before the others could speak, the grandmother on the side was the first to stare and speak.
"You thin-skinned and tender-skinned person, you haven't suffered much since you were a child, how can you stand that suffering in the barracks? And your grandfather's Haw Par Camp training was several times harder than ordinary military camps, how can you bear it? ”
"I think it's feasible, since he can have enlightenment, then let him try it, so that he doesn't have to live in a sugar jar all day and doesn't know the hardships of the people's lives." Li Shiming's eyes lit up slightly, and then he said softly.
"Hey! You stinky boy, what did you say when your father said he was going to take you into the barracks? That's a person who is looking for death and refuses to go! It's good now, you let your son go, but you don't have a backache when you stand and talk? Have you done that? Grandmother turned her head and scolded.
"Poof!" Li Ping'an and Yang Yanyu couldn't help laughing.
He really didn't expect that his father would have such a past, no wonder his father didn't follow his grandfather across the field together.
"Ahem, mother, in front of the child, you save me some face, isn't that also for peace?" Li Shiming's old face suddenly turned red.
"For his good? I said that everything is difficult at the beginning, start with a simple one, you are good, he said that if he enters the tiger and leopard camp, you let him go, and you don't want to think if he can bear to come down, do you call this for him? ”
Li Shiming suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore, so he could only look at his wife helplessly.
Chen Yun glanced at Li Ping'an thoughtfully, in fact, she thought the same as her mother about this, after all, Li Ping'an's body looked so weak, and he suddenly entered the tiger and leopard camp with such a large amount of training, it was really difficult to parry. It's just that... What she couldn't figure out was that Li Ping'an was so eccentric on weekdays, how could he make this request by herself?
What surprised her even more was that Li Ping'an actually spoke up again and said: "Grandmother, don't scold your father, this is indeed my own request." Ever since I was a child, I have admired my grandfather for being able to dominate the field and be invincible. So entering this tiger and leopard camp can be regarded as a small wish of mine~ Why don't you let me try it? If not, I will not force it, and I will come back immediately, how about it? ”
