Chapter 123: Seeing each other is like a stranger
Morning song.
Li Jing got off the early dynasty and rode towards the Li family under the escort of the four generals of the demon family, thinking about what the Great King Emperor Xin announced in the early dynasty, he couldn't help frowning tightly, and his heart was a little depressed.
At the beginning of the dynasty, as the ten-year covenant approached, all parties began to move, and the king began to rearrange the strong army to prepare for emergencies at any time.
Although the dragon race, the witch race and the human race have made a ten-year covenant to decide the future lord of the flood with peak monks, there are some things that have to be guarded against, after all, both races are ancient races, and this name alone makes people feel strong pressure.
Although Li Jing was also worried, he was not only worried about this big war, but before the appointment of the king was announced, he did not get any news at all, which made Li Jing instinctively have a sense of crisis.
In fact, Li Jing also knew that the reason why the king disliked him was not only because he was afraid of himself, but also because of the frequent turmoil in the Li family in recent years.
First, Nezha ran away back then, and then Yin Shiniang left, turning against her son, and the most serious thing was that her nursing mother and old lady moved out of the Li family and turned against herself.
No matter who is right or wrong, Nezha is always a descendant of the Li family, and he was expelled from the Li family by his father, even if outsiders have some ideas, they can't say more. However, Yin Shi Niang ran away from home that year, and left the Li family again after returning home three years ago, which had a great impact on Li Jing.
Even Li Jing himself didn't expect that his wife, who had always been a little submissive, would have such a great reputation in the court, Yin Shi Niang followed Li Jing to fight in all directions as a woman over the years, I don't know how many hard work she has made for the Li family, outsiders always attribute these credits to Li Jing, but when Yin Shi Niang was not there, those soldiers finally felt the difference, and Li Jing was different from before.
Especially two years ago, his nurse fell out with Li Jing because of Yin Shi Niang's affair, and finally ran away from the Li family despite the obstacles and lived with Yin Shi Niang, which made Li Jing be looked at sideways by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and there were rumors among the people that Li Jing was cold-blooded.
All this made Li Jing quite annoyed in his heart, but there was nowhere to vent, and the king was becoming more and more distant from himself, and there was a Liu Pipa who could talk to him before, but ......
Thinking of these, Li Jing suddenly realized that all of this happened after the little beast Nezha was born, and since Nezha was born, the entire Li family has never been calm!
"General, general?" At this moment, Mo Liqing, the eldest of the four brothers of the Demon Family who followed next to him, suddenly shouted Li Jing.
Li Jing was excited, and from the contemplation, his eyes were still a little gloomy, and he just said, "What's the matter?"
"General, should we go back to the house directly, or should we go to the barracks?" Mo Liqing hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.
Li Jing thought of the dullness in the mansion, and couldn't help waving his hand irritably: "Go directly to the barracks to have a look, tomorrow I will return to Chentangguan, and I don't know if the soldiers have prepared anything." ”
"Well, don't worry, the general has already notified the soldiers in advance, and there should be no delay in the trip, but presumably the immortal masters of the sect should be coming soon, why don't the generals bring a little more time to meet those immortal masters?"
This time, Emperor Xin arranged the Yin Shang army of the Wu clan and the dragon clan, but Li Jing was asked to garrison Chentangguan to defend this time to prevent accidents, it sounds like he attaches great importance to Li Jing and handed over this rear to Li Jing, but everyone knows that this is the prelude to Li Jing's fall from grace.
Chaoge is where the dragon qi of the Yin Shang Dynasty lies, and there are people defending here, as the general of the Yin Shang Dynasty, the most important thing at this time should be transferred to the front line and confront the two clans, rather than trapped in the rear.
Li Jing thought about it when he heard this, but shook his head: "No need, if Shizun and the others get here, they will definitely find Chentangguan first, and this time the stakes are very high, it is very likely that they will not come here, but go directly to Daizong Mountain." ”
“...... By the way, after we leave, arrange for someone to go to the courtyard in the east of the city and take the lady and the old lady back to the house. Li Jing continued, but said something that surprised the four generals of the demon family, but although he was surprised, he was happy in his heart, and hurriedly agreed.
However, none of the four of them saw the coldness and poison in Li Jing's eyes the moment he turned his head.
After everyone walked through another street, Li Jing suddenly felt something, looked up and looked at a street corner in front of him, but saw a young Taoist looking at his side, and after seeing Li Jing look over, he turned around and left as if nothing happened, but Li Jing couldn't see the other party's cultivation.
However, Li Jing didn't take it to heart, Chaoge was the capital of Yin Shang, and some Taoists were not surprised, so they quickly ran away from the young Taoist just now, and left slowly on horseback.
When he saw Li Jing, Nezha suddenly felt that he didn't hate the other party, and he didn't feel anything, as if the other party was just a stranger who had met once, this feeling made Nezha seem to be a little emotional, when Li Jing looked over, Nezha was not worried that the other party would recognize him, more than ten years have passed, and he has changed a lot, it is estimated that he is standing in front of the other party, let the other party observe carefully, and it is difficult to see through his identity.
Nezha even thought that if he hadn't come to find Yin Shi Niang's whereabouts this time, I was afraid that it would be difficult to have any intersection with the other party in the future.
It turned out that Nezha went directly to Chentangguan after leaving the Tianshou Mountain Liangsheng Palace, but he did not find any trace of Yin Shiniang, so he returned to Chaoge to find it, and according to the practice of the imperial court, all the generals who led the troops outside the station, their families would live in Chaoge, but in fact, although Li Jing was the chief soldier of Chentangguan, the Li family was in Chaoge.
And if there is no war in peacetime, Chentangguan is not far from Chaoge, and Li Jing is often in Chaoge's Li family, so Nezha came to Chaoge, ready to see if Yin Shi Niang is in the Li family, if Yin Shi Niang is living well in the Li family, Nezha does not plan to disturb Yin Shi Niang's life, if it is not good, naturally he wants to take the other party back to Tianshou Mountain.
It's just that Nezha didn't expect to see Li Jing in the court just after coming to Chaoge, but just now I heard that Li Jing was not ready to return to the Li family, and it seemed that Yin Shi Niang was not in the Li family, but Nezha was also worried, and took advantage of Li Jing's lack of opportunity to return home, and prepared to go to the Li Mansion to check it out.
Nezha is dressed in a robe, and he looks very pleasing with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although he has not returned to the Li family for more than ten years, but Nezha can still find the location of the Li family.
Since the disaster of the flood ten years ago, this song has not changed much, Nezha's feet are very fast, but he did not use immortal means in **, and he went on foot.
After arriving at the Li Mansion, he saw from a distance that the front of the Li Mansion was a little deserted, although the door was open, but those who guarded the door always seemed to be a little listless, and Nezha's memory of the Li family's door was very different, Nezha observed it from a distance, but did not come forward to ask directly.
There was an old man guarding the door, who looked to be forty or fifty years old, and seemed to see Nezha's figure, and he always felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who the other party was, so he couldn't help but murmur twice. The young man next to him asked when he heard it, but the old man just shook his head and glanced at Nezha's background suspiciously, but he didn't recognize it.
Nezha turned a street corner, but saw an old man squatting in front of his house basking in the sun, looking extremely comfortable, Nezha moved his steps before taking a step forward: "This old man is invited, I don't know if the old man knows what happened to the Li family?
When the old man heard this, he came back to his senses, and saw Nezha wearing a Taoist robe, and he felt very comfortable, so he couldn't help but look at it, and then said with a smile: "Presumably the little Taoist is from out of town, I don't know what the relationship between the little Taoist and this Li family is?"
Nezha smiled gently, regardless of the soil on the ground, and sat next to the old man casually: "I, I am the senior brother of Muzha, the second son of the Li family, and this time I came to meet Mrs. Yin by my senior brother Muzha, but looking at the situation of the Li family, it seems that something is wrong, it is not like the master of the Li family at home, so I have this question." ”
Nezha said this, but he was a little confused in his heart, from the perspective of the teacher, he was the introductory disciple of Tongtian Teacher, and the twelve golden immortals and others of the Interpretation Sect could not be regarded as a brother-in-law relationship, but with Muzha is a brotherly relationship, and Muzha is a disciple of the Interpretation of Fuxian Zhenren, this relationship is really a bit messy.
However, Nezha quickly put aside this relationship, and he was not in the mood to dwell on these things at this time.
"Oh, I see, it turned out to be the second son of Li's classmate, but the little old man was disrespectful, alas, this Li family is also unlucky enough. After the old man confirmed Nezha's identity, he spoke.
Nezha hugged his fists and motioned for the old man to continue.
Seeing that Nezha was very interested, the old man talked about his surname, and quickly said what he knew: "...... In fact, if you want to talk about this General Li, it is also a little harder, Mrs. Yin is such a good person, and the old lady of the Li family, she used to see us people, and she didn't put on any show, but now this is happening. ”
"It is said that the Li family also had a third son, I don't know why he was kicked out of the house by General Li, and now there is no trace, the eldest son and the second son went out to learn art again, and the second son of Li came back once ten years ago, but he has not come back again for more than ten years. However, apparently I don't know that Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Li have left the Li family......"
Nezha didn't interject all the time, and at first he could still listen quietly with a smile, but later, his fists were unconsciously clenched, and when the old man finished speaking, Nezha took a deep breath, smiled reluctantly and said: "Then I don't know where Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Li live now, I can also go to visit, I can't live up to the trust of my senior brother." ”
The old man seemed to be a little unsatisfied, but he still told Nezha the location, what happened to the Li family, and the people nearby had already passed on, but the specific situation was not clear, and when he saw that there was no useful news, Nezha was ready to stand up and leave here.
At this moment, the old man's face suddenly changed, but he said to Nezha: "Look, it's not General Li who is back. ”
Nezha had already heard the sound of the horse's hooves, and when he heard the old man's words, he couldn't help but look up, but it was just in time to meet Li Jing's gaze again, Nezha moved away as if nothing happened, and then thanked the old man and got up to leave here.
Li Jing saw Nezha's figure again, but this time he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then he didn't know what he thought, but he said to the demon Liqing beside him: "You go and ask that old man, where did that Taoist come from just now, and I always feel that I seem to have seen it somewhere." ”
Mo Liqing said yes when he heard this, and then came to the old man's side and asked, "This old man, what did the little Taoist master ask about just now?"
The old man was looking at the back of Nezha leaving with some curiosity, but when he heard the words, he turned his head and saw Mo Liqing, and couldn't help but get up and salute, but was stopped by Mo Liqing, and the old man deserved to say: "The general is polite, I don't know who that person is, but just now the little Taoist asked Mrs. Yin, saying that it was the senior brother of Li Ergongzi, but after I informed Mrs. Yin of her whereabouts, he left in a hurry." ”
Mo Liqing's expression changed, and then he hurriedly asked: "Then I don't know if the old man remembers what this person asked?"
The old man didn't hide it, and told him what he had just talked about with Nezha, but of course some things were also hidden, such as his evaluation of General Li.
Mo Liqing's face changed several times, and he thought that his wife had not returned home for several years before, but at this time, someone came to look for him, how did he think that he would not be the so-called senior brother of the second son, if he was, he would not even enter the door of the Li family, thinking of this, Mo Liqing suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but exclaim.
The old man glanced at Mo Liqing suspiciously, Mo Liqing thanked the old man, and left with a somewhat abnormal expression, at this time Li Jing was about to arrive at the gate of the Li Mansion, just when Mo Liqing was about to catch up with Li Jing, he suddenly took a deep breath, I don't know what he thought, and his face returned to normal.
Li Jing turned over and dismounted, and a personal soldier stepped forward to lead the horse, and when he saw Mo Liqing coming up, he asked, "Have you ever heard about the origin of that person?"
Mo Liqing shook his head, and just said: "The old man said that the person seemed to be looking for someone, and he asked a few random questions and left, just to find out who the other party was looking for." ”
Li Jing shook his head: "Then forget it, the surname Suo is not a big deal, explain it, take care of everything today, and we will return to Chaoge tomorrow." ”
"Yes, General. "Mo Liqing clenched his fists. (To be continued.) )
