Chapter 117 Winter Solstice

It's noon now, but there is no sun in the sky today, because two days ago, Chang'an also had the first snow, and the yard had been covered with a snow-white carpet.

"You're not well! Hurry back to the house!"

Chen Sicun, who was still watching the snow scene in the back garden, found that Li Bai came out wearing a thin dress, and hurriedly pushed him to the room, with a look of reproach on his face. Looking at this scene, Aunt Zhao covered her mouth and snickered.

"I'm all right!"

Li Bai bent his arm, wanting to prove that he was very strong, Chen Sicun pinched it again, and saw that the scar on Li Bai's chest was almost healed, so he relieved his heart.

"These days, you're worried. ”

Li Bai smiled and touched Chen Sicun's head, he can be said to have picked up a life this time, not to mention that Li Shiji didn't arrive in time, even if the chain that Chang Wei swung out had a little more strength, I am afraid that Li Bai would have been blown up.

"I'm most worried about you, but Daddy and Auntie. ”

"Of course I know, I have gone to report safety, and I have already instructed Chen Lao to prepare dumplings and eat them together later. ”

Li Bai said with a smile.

"Eat dumplings!Ah, it turns out that today is the winter solstice!

Chen Sicun smiled on his face, and he had to take Li Bai to the kitchen to make dumplings.

"You go first, I have something to say to Aunt Zhao. ”

Li Bai smiled slightly, his injury was healed, so he was in a good mood today.

"What do you have to say behind my back? ”

Chen Sicun pouted, pulled Li Bai's arm with one hand, swayed from side to side, and sprinkled coquettishly.

"There's nothing to carry behind what you said, but there are some things, you know it's still early, obedient, I have already ordered my subordinates to make a batch of fireworks, and I will accompany you tonight." ”

When Chen Sicun heard this, he reluctantly spread his hand and walked towards the dining room angrily, still didn't look back at Li Bai, a distance of dozens of steps, he walked for several minutes before entering the dining room, and when he entered the room, he made a grimace at Li Bai.

"This little girl. ”

Li Bai shook his head, but his face was full of happiness, but when he walked towards Aunt Zhao, he gradually became more and more serious.

"Li Gongzi, thank you for saving your life that day!"

Aunt Zhao wanted to kneel down, but when Li Bai saw this, he waved his hand busily, released a burst of vitality, and helped Aunt Zhao's knee that was about to fall.

"You don't have to be like this, I'm just uneven, it's just that I have a few questions I want to ask Aunt Zhao. ”

Although Li Gongzi said that the concubine must know everything, and she must say everything. ”

Aunt Zhao bowed slightly.

"You shouldn't have come from the South, have you?"

Li Bai asked, because he had heard An Lushan say before that the Huangquan clan had taken root in the extreme west.

"I really can't hide anything from you, the concubine is from the Western Regions. ”

"You are the queen of the Huangquan royal family?"

As soon as Li Bai's words came out, Aunt Zhao's body was obviously stagnant, and the smile on her face became stiff.

"Don't hide it from Li Gongzi, the concubine is the wife of the lord of Huangquan, but the king suddenly died in the palace a few days ago, and the concubine's child is less than ten years old, because the king did not have time to make an edict, so Zhao Nie's bastard took the opportunity to seize the throne and imprisoned the concubine's child, but fortunately, a palace maid informed the concubine in time, and the concubine escaped with Mingyue, but the poor concubine's miserable child. ”

Aunt Zhao hid her face and shed tears, Li Bai sighed, this Aunt Zhao is really a person with a hard life, Li Bai wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but found that he couldn't speak.

"Auntie, do you believe it?"

Li Bai said in a deep voice.

"You saved the concubine, and the concubine naturally believes in you. ”

Aunt Zhao wiped her tears and said in a low voice.

"You will stay in the Chen Mansion first, and wait until the next canonization day, and then accompany you to the Huangquan Clan to seek justice!"

Li Bai said.

"Don't bother Li Gongzi, then Zhao Nie is really powerful, you don't have much intersection with the concubine, so you can't take such a big risk. ”

Aunt Zhao said guiltily.

"Aunt Zhao doesn't need to say it anymore, in fact, that night, it was my master who saved me, and his old man said that he is a friend of the Lord of Huangquan, and he will help you seek justice in the future, and I am a disciple of my master, so I naturally have to make a difference. ”

Li Bai only said generally, he was actually to be able to get the items that Li Shi said, since Li Shi let himself be canonized and then go to get it, the object must be extraordinary, if he can help the young lord to the throne, what he wants to take in the future, it will naturally be much simpler, of course, Li Bai will not tell Aunt Zhao these words.

"You're talking about Li Zhan, Li Sheng?"

Aunt Zhao was shocked, and when Li Bai heard this, he knew in his heart that his teacher really had a good personal relationship with the Huangquan clan.

"Exactly, it's not too early, the dumplings should have been cooked, let's go eat them quickly." ”

Li Bai took a step, and the next moment, he appeared ten steps away, stepped out again, walked ten steps again, and three times in a row, Li Bai had already arrived at the door of the dining room.

"It seems that the teacher's "Thoughts on Picking Stars" is really powerful, I have only pondered for ten days, and my practice in the sea of chess is twice the result with half the effort. ”

Li Bai walked into the dining room with a happy face, in the past ten days, due to poor health, Li Bai has been practicing "Picking Stars and Viewing Thoughts" every day, and now the chess path has officially entered the peak of the second realm, and it only takes one opportunity to break through to the third realm. What made Li Bai most happy was that when he broke through the second weight of the Qinglian sword technique, the sword fetus in the heart of the Dao suddenly emitted a beam of light, which merged into Li Bai's eyebrows, Li Bai suddenly understood the true meaning of the second sword technique, that is, precision, the first weight only focuses on speed, and the second weight also pays attention to accuracy, and now he has completely passed the second test, it can be said that Li Bai's current sword cultivation is not weaker than Chen Qingqing, but Li Bai still has some less precipitation.

"Dad, mother!"

Li Bai sat on a stool vigorously, at this time, on the table, there was a pot of dumplings, steaming, Dad and Li were also very happy to see Li Bai so energetic.

"Sicun, are the two pots of dumplings I asked you to prepare ready?"

Li Bai asked.

"It's been ready for a long time, you two, go and serve it!"

Chen Sicun said to the two subordinates behind him, and then sat down next to Li Bai, and Aunt Zhao also came in and sat in the seat opposite everyone.

"Big brother, we're here!"

Niu Potian's thunderous voice came in, and the next moment, the room seemed to be a little darker, and the entire door was blocked by Niu Potian, and Heizi followed closely behind and also walked in.

"Uncle and aunt!"

The sound of the cow breaking the sky urn made Chen Sicun very embarrassed.

"Who is your sister-in-law!"

It's just that no matter how you hear it, I feel that Chen Sicun is not annoyed, and it is true that he is shy.

"Come and sit down, brother!"

Li Bai led Niu Potian and Heizi to the two stools and beckoned them to sit down, and in front of them, there were two pots of dumplings prepared. Li Bai looked at Niu Potian and felt very relieved, the former Niu Potian didn't understand anything about the world, after more than half a month's teachings, he was much better, and as for the sunspot, he was more mature than before.

"Old Chen, come and sit too!"

Li Bai looked at Chen Lao who was standing aside, and hurriedly got up and pulled Chen Lao to sit next to him.

"Mr. Li, this can't be helped! The old man is just a subordinate. ”

Chen Lao was very embarrassed, especially for a person like him, who had been a housekeeper for decades, and he had a deeper sense of hierarchy in his heart.

"You have been working in the Chen Mansion for decades, and you have long been like a family, and the Chen Mansion can only be maintained with you, so ah, you will always eat with us in the future!"

Li Bai secretly used his vitality to press Chen Lao on the stool, so that he couldn't stand up even if he wanted to, but his butt kept twisting, feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

"That's it, Old Chen, you grew up with me, and you have long been a relative, so sit down. ”

Chen Sicun also helped.

"Lao Chen, the children have said so, what else do you have to scruple about? Come, I'll present you a bowl first. ”

Daddy stood up and scooped dumplings for Chen Lao with a spoon, Li Bai saw it in his eyes and forced a smile, in this Chen Mansion, Dad can only talk to Chen Lao, Chen Lao also taught Dad to play chess, the two often talk all morning, and now they are iron buddies.

"Okay. ”

Chen Lao felt that it was difficult for everyone to resist, so he had to sit on the stool obediently, but there were tears in his eyes.

"What are you crying on this festive day!"

Li Bai was a little helpless.

"The old man is moved!"

Chen Lao Vicissitudes left a tear in his eyes, and he hurriedly raised his sleeve and wiped the tears.

"Let's get started!"

Li Bai shouted, everyone started the chopsticks, but Li Bai ate strangely, because he saw from Chen Lao's body that tens of thousands of oppressed people in Datang are now, in the long run, the class contradictions are getting deeper and deeper, and Datang will be overturned, but Li Bai didn't dare to say it, the last time he talked about women's reading, he was punished by Tianhuo, and he could only tell himself in his heart that when his strength was enough, he must solve these contradictions.

"Kuroko, what's going on with the dragon group?"

Li Bai ate a dumpling and asked.

"This ......"

Heizi glanced at Aunt Zhao and stopped talking.

"There's no outsider here, though. ”

Li Bai smiled and said, the heart of the black man has really become mature, it turns out that he doesn't have so many thoughts, but it's okay, this is the appearance of a deputy team leader.

"You're a happy captain, and you've always been in charge. ”

Niu Potian interjected beside him.

"Such a big pot of dumplings can't stop your mouth! ”

Li Bai's old face flushed, he had indeed been there on the first day, and he had never participated in the training of the dragon group since then.

Kuroko put down the chopsticks in his hand and stood in a military posture, so that everyone present was so frightened that they didn't dare to move the chopsticks anymore, and they all looked at Kuroko.

"Report to the captain! We selected 20 people eight days ago, and all of them are good! We trained them for eight days according to the method you said!"

"Sit down, I'll explain the next step myself when I have time. ”

"Yes!"

Li Bai looked at the sunspot, his eyes showed a look of satisfaction, he has always asked the dragon group with the military appearance and military discipline of the modern army, it seems that the sunspot has done a good job, even he, the deputy team leader, has become a serious soldier, when he was in the leopard army before, the sunspot was not as serious as now.

"Eh, why aren't you wearing my custom-made clothes?"

Li Bai had already asked Chen Lao to hire a tailor, and with the drawings designed by Li Bai himself, he made two sets of black suits for Heizi and Niu Potian, and specially found quartz to make two pairs of sunglasses.

"It's not convenient to train today. ”

Niu Potian said.

"Okay, you'll finish eating later, go change it out, and go do something with me. ”

Li Bai explained.

"Okay!"

Kuroko and Niu agreed happily.

"Big brother, you don't know, we have been staying in the back mountain every day for more than ten days, and we are bored to death!"

After Niu Potian finished speaking, he couldn't wait to change his clothes, and directly took the entire basin.

"Gollum Purr!"

"Bang!"

Niu Potian slammed the basin on the table, good guy, there was not even a drop of soup left in the basin, and Niu Potian licked it clean.

"Big brother, I'll go change my clothes first. ”

Niu Potian said goodbye and hurriedly ran out.

"This guy is still so reckless. ”

Kuroko shook his head and plunged his head into the basin, only a large bald head was exposed, reflecting the light in the light.

"Gollum Purr!"

"Big brother, I'll go first. ”

Kuroko said and disappeared outside the door, leaving only a room of people messy in the wind.
