Chapter 30: Discussion
After digging up all the news that Wan Yuan Kai knew, Li Xiangping sent away the stunned Wan Yuan Kai, carefully put away the sketch in his hand, and returned to Lijing Village with Li Yesheng.
Thanks to the continuous supply of land taxes from the villages every year, the Li family was able to support more craftsmen, who mainly built small courtyards in the back mountains, and were also responsible for the repair of Lijing Village when the construction period was loose.
After more than half a year of repair, Lijing Village has changed its appearance, and the polished bluestone slabs are spliced together piece by piece, spreading from the front of Li's house to the entrance of the village, as the main arterial road of Lijing Village, spreading influence for the hub of power in these villages.
The rich families in the village also imitated the Li family's blue brick house, and renovated their adobe thatched houses, Liu Linfeng and others did not dare to use green bricks, but used second-class white bricks, and then used plaster to outline the wall joints, although it is not as eye-catching as the white bricks filled in the white joints, but it is also magnificent.
Looking at the several buildings behind the village from afar, the white brick courtyard is surrounded by the main house of blue bricks and gray tiles, but it also has the taste of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River in the misty wind and rain.
When Li Xiangping returned to the courtyard, he saw Li Mutian and Li Xuanxuan sitting in the courtyard to rest, Li Mutian was in good spirits, his actions were neat, he was holding a tea bowl in his hand, and the old god was sitting at the table on the ground, as if he had come out of the pain of losing his son a few years ago.
Now Li Mutian is not in charge of things, but no one dares to underestimate this old man, although Li Mutian is only a mortal, but Li Yesheng and others are afraid that he is still far more than Li Tongya and Li Xiangping.
"Xuan'er!"
Li Xiangping smiled and picked up Li Xuanxuan, who flew over, this child reached the age of studying, the Li family still invited Han Wenxu to be a teacher, Li Xuanxuan is smart and clever, and it is not difficult to teach.
"Today I went to Luedang with Xie Wen, and he said that Uncle Ye Sheng was there to herd ducks when he was a child!"
Li Xuanxuan hugged Li Xiangping with a smile and said childishly.
The Li family made a marriage for Li Yesheng, and Li Xie Wen was Li Yesheng's child, who was just over two years old, and ran around behind Li Xuanxuan every day.
"Not really."
Li Yesheng, who was behind him, replied with a smile.
"Call the second brother back."
Li Xiangping turned his head and commanded with a smile, watching Li Yesheng retreat in response and gradually move away, and then looked at Li Xuanxuan.
"At that time, the third uncle and I caught fish on the side, and the fish was fat, covered in green scales, and slippery."
Li Xiangping put him down and pinched Li Xuanxuan's little face, but his eyes wandered, staring blankly into the distance, as if he had fallen into some kind of profound memory.
"That fish is the most delicious fish that the third uncle has ever tasted, it is a fish in the sky, a fairy among the fish......"
"What about the Wanjia?"
Li Mutian glanced lowly, put the tea in his hand on the table, and interrupted Li Xiangping with a loud voice.
"The strength is far better than my Li family, it has a long history, there is a family head of Yujing Wheel cultivation, and there is also that Wan Kai, who achieved Qingyuan at a young age."
Li Xiangping patted Li Xuanxuan, let the child play by himself, raised his head and replied.
Before he said that, Li Tongya stepped into the courtyard, his face was solemn, he found a place to sit down, and listened carefully to what Li Xiang said equally.
Li Xiangping told Wan Wankai's words in one breath, and then picked up the tea bowl and looked at the two of them while taking a big sip.
"If these 10,000 families are really forced internally and externally, they can help and help, and the Ji family is close at hand, if these 10,000 families really fall, and their lips are cold, the next one is probably my Li family."
Li Tongya silently listened to Li Xiangping's words and looked at the sketch.
"Ten thousand families want to be saved, but there must be a way to save it, and it has to be the most beneficial way for my Li family, Xiang Ping, listen."
Li Mutian squinted, raised his eyebrows, quietly looked at the tea in the cup, and said again:
"The Wan family said that the Ji family took away his spiritual rice, so he replied like this - just say that my Li family still has spare spiritual fields, but there is no manpower, ask him to send someone to my Li family, plant rice here, and harvest 30% of my Li family, if the 10,000 yuan Kai Zhen sent someone, it is indeed his Wan family is trapped by the Ji family, and the pain is unspeakable."
"Exactly."
Li Xiangping nodded, obviously thinking of a piece with his father, and said:
"It's just that this Ji family knows everything about the Lingtian of the Wan family, and it must have become a sieve inside, this matter must be kept secret by Na Wan Kai, at this moment, my Li family must not be on the Ji family, and it can be silently promoted and supported behind the Wan family."
"Not bad."
Li Mutian nodded appreciatively, took a sip of tea, and continued:
"The strength of the two families is far better than my family, at this moment, we still have to keep quiet, accumulate strength, and the Ji family is aggressive, and its heart can be punished, and although the ten thousand families are under the rule of Qingchi, they must also be vigilant next to the couch."
Li Tongya looked at the sketch for a long time, and suddenly said:
"The Ji family in this picture is adjacent to my Li family?"
"Yes."
Li Xiangping nodded, nodded at the entrance of Li Dao, and said in a deep voice:
"The Guli Road forks here, all the way to the north, straight into the territory of Najijia, all the way to the east, leading to the territory of Wanjia."
After a pause, looking at Li Tongya's thoughtful appearance, Li Xiangping continued:
"I asked Na Wan Kai, more than a hundred years ago, there was a monster who gathered a few little demons and built a demon cave on the road leading to the Ji family, so the road was cut off from then on, and the Ji family even abandoned the land, but nominally returned to the Ji family."
"I see," Li Tongya said suddenly: "In this way, there is no need to be afraid of the Ji family entering the country, as long as the ten thousand families do not fall, the Ji family will never be threatened here." ”
"That monster is also smart, he chose the junction of the Qingchi Sect and the Golden Gate, and cultivated in its demon cave, and he didn't come out to make trouble."
Li Xiangping said softly, turning his head to look at Li Mutian:
"I heard Na Wan Kai say that there is a mountain in the west of my house, father, you fought with that mountain Yue back then, what news did you have?"
Li Mutian waved his hand and said:
"If you want to talk about appearance, those Shanyue people are very different from us, nothing more than broken hair and tattoos, unable to understand words, and Shanyue is good at martial arts and war, noble strength, there is a witch in the clan, good at cursing and driving away beasts, not easy to deal with."
"You don't know how effective the exorcism technique is, as long as you can deal with that curse, and the village and the enemy are between them, it's not impossible to deal with them."
"I'm not in a hurry."
Li Tongya spoke, his finger on the map of the Li family lightly, and said:
"Wanjia has been squeezed and cut by the Naji family many times, and the area that Si Yuanbai divided for my Li family is large, and now my Li family's territory is even larger than that of Wanjia's territory."
"The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the strength of my Li family is low, but it is just fat, and the mountain is not coming, so I don't have to provoke him. With the Wan family resisting in front, wait for my Li family to develop for a few years, and thoroughly master these territories before talking about anything else. ”
