Volume 1: Entering the Immortal Gate Without Regrets Chapter 32 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
On the second day, when the sky was bright, Li Xin pinched the soft waist of the maid on the bed with his hand, turned over, and said, "You go and say hello to Menzi, prepare the fastest horse, and I will go to the City Lord's Mansion in person." ”
The maid didn't know what was going on, so she just murmured, "Young master, you were so bad last night, my sister couldn't get out of bed." ”
If on weekdays, Li Xinding has a romantic relationship again, but today is different from the past, he still remembers his father's pale face last night, Li Xin said coldly: "Hurry up and do it, otherwise let that Xiaocui take your place." ”
The maid rolled her eyes, smashed her mouth, and walked out of the door without knowing what to say. When he left, he didn't forget to secretly glare at Li Xin. A maid like her is already worthy of a lady from an ordinary family, she doesn't have to do anything all day long, she is clothed and fed. If one day the old man gets tired of playing crookedly, she will find an honest man to marry.
The maid came to the courtyard and said coldly to the doorman Zhou Fu: "Prepare a batch of good horses, the young master is going to go out early." ”
This kind of maid usually looks down on the same level as them, so she talks and acts, deliberately putting on a posture of an old lady. And Menzi has always looked down on this kind of maid who relies on a bit of grace. But Menzi is different, Menzi was afraid that the maids would slander in front of the master, so he had to nod and say, "I understand, sister is going well." ”
After hearing this, the maid snorted coldly and walked away without looking back.
"What the hell!" Zhou Fu spat out and smacked his lips when he saw the maid leave. Last night, an old Chen came in the middle of the night and disturbed him all night, and the young master had to go out early this morning, and now it is becoming more and more difficult to do this job.
Li Xin was dressed in the room, saw his father's letter on the tea table, and suddenly thought of the way Lao Chen and Wei Feixian sang and harmonized in the City Lord's Mansion that day, as well as the two city guards Zhou Xing and Zhou Yi, all of whom were helping the old Chen family. He muttered, "No, this Wei Feixian has already had an affair with the fugitive Chen Dou." ”
Thinking of him breaking out in a cold sweat, he thought to himself, if he went like this, it would be like a sheep. He picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in ink, and crossed out his father's name from the letter.
Li Xin wanted to do this, and then asked Namenzi not to reveal his identity, so Wei Feixian didn't know who sent the letter. If Wei Feixian and Lao Chen had nothing to do with each other, Wei Feixian would naturally arrest Chen Dou, and if there was a relationship, Wei Feixian wouldn't know that this was the Li family's doing.
Smart, Li Xin is complacent about his cleverness. He sealed the letter, walked out quickly, saw Zhou Fu who was leading the horse, and said, "Zhou Fu, this trip is done, come back to receive the reward." ”
Zhou Fu took the letter from the young master's hand, he looked at the seal, it was so tightly wrapped, it must be a very important letter, and asked: "Young master, where is this letter delivered?" The old man gave the letter to the servant, naturally asked him to send it, Zhou Fu had long been used to it, but listening to the tone of the young master, this letter seemed to be very important.
Li Xindao: "Send the letter to the City Lord's Mansion, remember, don't say that you are from the Li family, if they ask, you will only say that you are sent by a mysterious person." ”
"Ordered. Zhou Fu turned over and left.
Seeing Zhou Fu off, Li Xin came to the study and prepared to have a good time in front of his father. My father always called him stupid, but this time, he will definitely praise himself.
Li Xin pushed the door in, Li Yuan's legs were still crossed, and he entered meditation with his eyes closed. This is another benefit of the Yuan Infant Realm, which can restore most of your physical strength through meditation.
Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said, "Xin'er, did you deliver the letter?"
Li Xin said what he had just done.
Smack!
A slap flew over, and Li Xin didn't react at all why his father wanted to beat him, and he was at a loss.
He looked like he was going to quarrel, and said angrily: "Dad, what are you crazy about early in the morning?"
Hearing Li Xin roaring there, Li Yuan just hated that iron could not become steel, and explained: "The reason why I signed my name and asked you to send it is to let the whole city know that you Li Xin has been to the City Lord's Mansion, and for him Wei Feixian, it is a kind of clamping. If he Wei Feixian doesn't kill Chen Dou, he will definitely not do anything to assassinate us. Now you are better to remove the hidden danger for him. Let me ask you, now that he and Lao Chen are secretly teaming up, and we will be charged with a crime at will, we will not be able to argue!"
Li Xin smashed his mouth, lowered his head again, and muttered, "It's—no, they don't know who we are." ”
Li Yuanchang sighed, thinking that sooner or later he would be killed by this son, and scolded: "Now I can only hope that they don't know who sent the letter." ”
Zhou Fu rode a fast horse and ran all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, he just wanted to deliver the letter as soon as possible, go back and lean against the gate to sleep again. When he was about to arrive at the city lord's mansion, he saw a person wearing a dressing gown and pajamas with a big sword. When I walked in, it was Wei Feixian.
Wei Feixian is a half-way Taoist and a half-way general, and has developed a habit of early morning exercises, so no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, he always has to take a walk on the side of the road and play with a big knife, which is also the reason why his body is so tough. Seeing a small guy galloping towards him, he took his natal magic weapon, and saw that the little guy almost fell off the horse, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, and said coldly: "Running in such a hurry, where is the fire?"
After hearing this, the little servant hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, stuffed it into Wei Feixian's hand, turned his head and was about to leave, and said, "My master said it, it is inconvenient to reveal his name." See for yourself. Saying that, the little guy had already got on the horse, and waited for Wei Feixian to open the letter and left quickly.
Seeing that the letter was so firmly enveloped, Wei Feixian was full of doubts, opened it, pulled out the letter paper, and saw a line of rough font that read:
"I have already found out that the tofu shop Lao Chen is the wooden sword Chen Dou back then, please send someone to support quickly. ”
The back was obviously signed, and someone erased it again.
Zhou Fu saw that Wei Feixian was there, so he "shouted" and wanted to drive the horse away, but as soon as he shouted, a big hand lifted him off the horse, and he looked at it with his hand, it turned out to be Wei Feixian.
Wei Feixian's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Who asked you to deliver this letter?"
After hearing this, Zhou Fu knew that there was a big trouble, and muttered: "That person is hiding in the dark and can't see clearly." ”
Wei Feixian pinched Zhou Fu's clothes and said coldly: "Look at your well-dressed, you must not be an ordinary minion, where are you willing to easily help people run errands, say, who sent you here." ”
Wei Feixian had already expected that the person who wrote the letter must be full of malice towards his benefactor Chen Dou. He wants to eradicate this dangerous man for his benefactor. Since this man is hiding, it is easy to find him and kill him quietly.
Although Zhou Fu is not a loyal servant, but he has always done very well what the master ordered, and he has some wisdom, he shrugged his head and replied: "Acropolis Lord, I really don't know who asked me to deliver the letter. ”
Wei Feixian smashed his mouth after hearing this, and said coldly: "Good guy, since you don't recruit, I will be tortured and waiting, come on, arrest him!"
Hearing that Wei Feixian was about to arrest himself, Zhou Fu was also so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, crying: "Master, I really don't know what is written in it, as for the person who asked me to deliver the letter-" Zhou Fu remembered the young master's fierce appearance on weekdays, and was stunned, thinking that if the young master knew that he had leaked the secret, he would not be able to escape death, so he was silent again.
Zhou Xing and Zhou Yi were tidying up the government office, and they were also very puzzled when they heard the noise early in the morning. Zhou Xing poked his head out and found a person kneeling in front of the Acropolis Lord crying, so he had a premonition that this was not an ordinary thing, and hurriedly called Zhou Yi to go with him to see what was going on.
The relationship between the characters in the small town is very mysterious, these two brothers became officials and soldiers, and helped many relatives and friends to save them from prison, and they are famous for their sleek sophistication. But since he followed Wei Feixian, he also has loyalty and enthusiasm in his chest.
Wei Feixian didn't know what to do with this little guy, and when he saw Zhou Yi coming over, he snorted coldly: "You two are here just right, put him in prison, starve for a few days, and see if he can recruit him!"
Zhou Xing took a look and thought: Yo, isn't this Zhou Fu, so he said to Wei Feixian: "City Lord, we know this guy, Zhou Fu, the disciple of the Li Mansion, is also our own brother, although he is a little bullying and afraid of evil, but he will never do anything that hurts the heavens and reason." ”
Zhou Fu was like seeing his grandfather, and hurriedly kowtowed. In the early years, he was able to join the official army, but he felt too bitter and tired, and now he feels very regretful.
Hearing Zhou Xing say that he was the disciple of the Li Mansion, Wei Feixian suddenly realized and asked in a cold voice, "Let me ask you, did Li Yuan call you here?"
Zhou Fu still pretended to be dumb.
Zhou Xing saw that the city lord was so nervous, so he grabbed Zhou Fu's ear with one hand and scolded: "You don't know whether you live or die, if you dare to know and not report it, we will ignore the feelings of our family and pick your skin!"
Zhou Fu was frightened, and hurriedly said, "Master, I am indeed a disciple of the Li Mansion, and Li Xin asked me to send this letter." ”
Wei Feixian thought that Li Xin could think of so many dolls, these things must have been asked by Li Yuan to do them, a good Li Yuan, he actually knew the identity of Senior Brother Chen Dou.
"No, Senior Brother Chen Dou is in danger. Wei Feixian smashed his mouth, and hurriedly ordered, "You two will temporarily detain him in prison, and I will personally go to the Chen family's tofu shop." ”
Hearing that Wei Feixian was going to lock himself up, Zhou Fu was about to cry and shout at his mother, "Master, I have already recruited all the recruits." But he saw Wei Feixian riding his horse and galloped towards the city, knowing that he was out of options. The master is gone, and the people under this hand will definitely not dare to disobey the master's will.
With a tentative accent, he asked, "Brother Zhou, can you let me go?"
Zhou Yi stared at him, let out a sneer, and said mockingly: "Didn't you say that even if you are a dog in the Li family, it is better than being a soldier of Laoshizi? Now we will do your wish and treat you as a dog!
