Chapter 2: Code Words Become Gods
In the courtyard of the Li Mansion, Li Ze followed the housekeeper Li Zhong towards the study, while thinking about everything he had experienced before.
It's all too real to be an illusion.
He had indeed returned to a world that only existed in the depths of his memory, and had been in that world for a while, and then had returned.
So how did he get into that world, and how did he come back?
Will you re-enter that world in the future?
He'd only been in that world for a short time, and only one night had passed here, wasn't the time different?
Thinking of this, Li Ze also came to his father's study with Li Zhong.
Pushing the door in, I saw that at this time his father was sitting on the main seat, and next to him was sitting a young man he was somewhat familiar with.
The young man was almost thirty years old, wearing a luxurious robe, with a red flower on his forehead, and his body was imposing, giving him the feeling similar to that of the housekeeper Li Zhong, who was a master.
His arrival also interrupted the conversation between the two, and the young man stood up, looked at him carefully, and nodded.
"That's right, I have already reached the big star rank at such an age, and looking at the situation in my body, I am about to break through to the small heaven rank, so this cultivation talent will definitely be achieved in the future......
Li Ze looked at the young man who commented on him, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt.
It's just that when did you see it?
Before he could ask what was going on, he saw his father stand up with a smile on his face and said with a smile.
"Nephew Wen Tongxian, you still praise this kid, don't you know what he looked like when he was a child?"
Wentong, hearing these two words, Li Ze finally understood why he felt that this young man was familiar.
Song Wentong, more than ten years ago Huangchao rebelled in the Central Plains, Song Wentong's family came to Bianzhou because of the war, his father felt that Song Wentong's family was pitiful and took them in, he was only three or four years old at that time (the real age was eight or nine years old).
I feel very curious about this brother who is a few years older than me, and pesters each other to play with him every day.
It's just that Song Wentong left ten years ago, and it is said that he was in the army, why is he in their home?
Although I am confused, there is still a number of etiquette that should be there.
"Daddy!"
After speaking, he looked at Song Wentong and asked uncertainly.
"Brother Wentong?"
To his inquiry, the young man smiled and nodded.
"I didn't expect you to remember me. ”
"Hey......
Li Ze scratched his head embarrassedly, then looked at his father and asked.
"Dad, what did Grandpa Zhong say you are looking for me? and Brother Wentong, I heard that you joined the army, how have you been doing all these years?"
His father, Li Wenzhe, sat back in the main seat again, and at the same time beckoned to Song Wentong and motioned to sit down as well.
After doing this, he looked at his unsuccessful son and put on a straight face again.
"Brother Wentong is also what you can call, and now you have to call him the king of the county, understand?"
"The county... The king of the county?"
Li Ze's tongue was a little knotted, wasn't the king of the county the one his father said he wanted to marry yesterday?
Ah no, it's the sister of the county king.
So the person who wants to marry him is Brother Wentong's sister?
The little girl who had just learned to walk and ran around behind me inexplicably came to mind.
Well... No, the other party didn't seem to be two years old at the time, and he wasn't even a little girl.
No, no, absolutely not, he will never agree to this family business.
And Brother Wentong, why did he become the king of the county?
His mind was a little confused, and he looked at his father and Brother Wentong.
"Dad, Brother Wentong, what the hell is going on? Brother Wentong, didn't you join the army to fight? How did you become the king of the county? And what's going on with Ji'er?"
Song Wentong turned his head to look at his father, there was an inquiring meaning in his eyes, and he seemed to be puzzled.
Li Wenzhe understood what the other party meant, couldn't help shaking his head, and said helplessly.
"You also know the character of this bastard boy, he loves to cause trouble all day long, and he ran away from home for what he did last year, and he didn't come back for a whole year. This time, I sent someone to inform him to come back, and you haven't had time to tell him about it yet. ”
Song Wen was clear, turned his head to look at Li Ze, who had already come to sit next to him, and said with a smile.
"Here's the thing........."
With his narration, Li Ze also gradually knew what the other party had experienced over the years?
At the beginning, he was indeed in the army, and he just entered the Zhenzhou Boye Army, stationed in Mukden, and was promoted to captain with military merits.
In the first year of Guangming, he defeated Shang Rang, a general of the Huangchao rebels, and became the commander of the forbidden army.
In the second year of Guangqi, the eunuch Tian Lingzi was killed, and the emperor was meritorious, and the official worshiped the envoy of Wuding Festival, and gave the name Li Maozhen.
In the third year of Guangqi, he killed the rebel general Li Changfu, saved the life of the Son of Heaven, and sealed Fengxiang, Longyou Jiedu History,
In the first year of Dashun, he was crowned the king of Longxi County.
Song Wentong said very simply, but Li Ze listened with envy, in just ten years, he has gone from an ordinary person to the level of a county king, and he, Brother Wentong, is simply his idol.
"So, Brother Wentong, you have really become the king of the county now, and you have the territory of more than a dozen states. ”
"That's right, some time ago, His Majesty Zhaozong just canonized me as the king of Longxi County, if you are interested, you can come to my Fengxiang as a guest. ”
"Well, definitely!"
Li Ze nodded affirmatively, and then thought of Ji'er's little girl who wanted to marry him, and couldn't help but grow his head for a while.
He looked at his own father who was on the high seat, and then got closer... He said in a low voice.
"Brother Wentong, my father said that he wanted me to marry Ji'er, he likes to mess around, why do you also mess around?"
Although Li Wenzhe is a scholar, he also practices martial arts.
is deaf and clear-sighted, and naturally hears what his son says.
Say he's messing around?
Well... Recently, the library seems to have added some ancient books.
"Ahem, what's the matter?
As a straight man, Li Ze nodded without the slightest euphemism, and said as a matter of course.
"Of course I don't want to, although I liked Ji'er's sister when I was a child, but that's just my brother's love for my sister, and there is no trace of love between men and women. ”
Song Wentong was not the slightest annoyed by his honesty, as if he had known that he would say this.
"Well, it seems that my uncle and I have made a fool of ourselves. Since you don't want to, then stop this family business. ”
At this point he paused for a moment, as if to say something to himself.
"It just so happens that he doesn't like you either!"
Li Ze didn't react for a while, this... What's going on?
It's so simple to solve, don't you need him to resist something?
"What? ”
"No, no, no, how come?"
Li Ze shook his head like a rattle and looked at his father.
Unexpectedly, his father didn't get angry, and looked at him indifferently.
"Look at what I'm doing, what kind of person do I think your father is, don't you agree with me, do you still force you!"
"Huh, Dad, did you really agree?"
Li Ze still couldn't believe it, when did his father talk so well.
Well... He smelled the smell of conspiracy.
"Hmph, you stinky boy doesn't want to, what if I don't agree?"
Although it is not clear what the conspiracy is, one thing is certain, he does not need to marry Ji'er.
"Great, thank you Dad, thank you Brother Wentong. ”
Li Ze stood up excitedly, and then ran outside.
He's not stupid, it's obviously a conspiracy for his dad to compromise with him, and if he doesn't leave now, he won't be able to leave.
It's just that he's done a step after all.
When he first came to the door, he heard his father's voice behind him.
"Slow down, don't hurry. ”
Li Ze wanted to pretend that he hadn't heard it, but when he saw Li Zhong who appeared beside him at some point, he had to stop.
He turned around stiffly and smiled more ugly than crying.
"Daddy... Dad, are you okay?"
Li Wenzhe's hands itched when he saw him like this, but now Li Ze's strength is stronger than him, and he can't fight anymore, he can only follow the old rules... Copy books.
"I'm not dead yet, why are you crying!"
Li Ze wanted to say that he was crying with joy, but he didn't dare.
He can already predict his future, and the future is bright.
"A few days ago, Uncle Zhong collected some ancient books and put them in the library cabinet, these ancient books are real classical books, because my father is not worried about others copying them, you can copy those ancient books in this month's time. ”
One month?
Li Ze stumbled and almost didn't stand firm, this is his life.
"Dad, can I ask Grandpa Zhong how many classical books he has collected?"
For his question, Dad really thought about it seriously, then looked at Li Zhong, the housekeeper at the door, and asked.
"Uncle Zhong, how many of those classics did you bring back last time. ”
"Back to the master, there are more than 1,300,000 volumes, with an average of 30,000 words per book. ”
Hearing Li Zhong's answer, Li Ze's eyes were really dark, if Li Zhong hadn't supported him in time, he would have really fallen to the ground.
What is 1,300 times 30,000? 39 million words!
In later generations, all kinds of gods who burst their livers, kidneys, and hair burst were 20,000 words a day.
It took ten years for a certain town to write only 32 million words!
Although he is a martial arts practitioner, he has copied books and copied his experience.
But he is the fastest, only 60,000 or 70,000 words a day.
What is 39 million words divided by 650,000 words? 600 days.
Is this a month? It's been nearly two years!
Supported by Li Zhong, he asked with a stammer.
"Daddy... Father... You... You didn't talk to... Am I kidding?"
His dad grimaced.
"Do you think I'm kidding you?"
It's over, Li Ze sighed in his heart, it seems that he is going to run away from home again.
Just when he made up his mind and was about to run away from home, Song Wentong, who had watched the excitement for a long time, stood up and played a round road.
"Uncle, I see that his cultivation realm has reached a bottleneck, and for a long time... Ahem, writing for a long time is not good for his cultivation.
Why don't you let him go out with me to see the current Tang Dynasty, sharpen his mind, and wait until I take him back in a month, how about it?"
Li Wenzhe looked hesitant, as if he was weighing something.
But Li Ze was excited, broke away from Li Zhong, who was holding him, rushed to Song Wentong's side, and said.
"Dad, Brother Wentong, he's right, my cultivation ......"
"Shut up, there's no place for you to talk here. ”
Li Ze closed his mouth in interest, his father was angry, and he didn't dare to provoke him at all.
Glaring at him, Li Wenzhe looked at Song Wentong in front of him, frowned and said.
"Nephew Wen Tongxian, it's not that my uncle doesn't want to agree to you, but my uncle can't help it.
After a month, it will be Ze'er's crown ceremony, and the invitations have been sent, if Ze'er disappears at that time, won't it be a slap in the face of our Li family?
And now that the war is in chaos, our Li family only has Ze'er's bloodline, if he accidentally has an accident...... I'm sorry for the ancestors of our Li family!"
"Uncle, don't worry, since Wentong raised this matter, he will definitely be able to protect it clearly.
Moreover, our trip can be regarded as taking Mingxin to Fengxiang for a turn, and it is enough to go back and forth for a month if we take the official road. ”
Lee Ming-che sighed again.
"Wentong, it's not that my uncle doesn't trust you, you should see the situation in the world more clearly than Ze'er, there was a yellow thief uprising in the past, and then there was a Zhu thief who took power and government, and the princes were divided, and my Tang Dynasty was already in decline, and it could be ......... at any time
Your uncle and I, as the president of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, are in charge of the world's businessmen, so naturally we are also attracting attention.
If I let the rest of the forces know that Ze'er is with you, I'm afraid that there will be an accident!"
Song Wentong didn't know how to answer what he said.
In this troubled world, all those who have ambitions hoard soldiers and horses to enhance their own strength, and soldiers and horses cannot come out of thin air, and they need to be bought with money.
In addition to the treasury of the Tang Dynasty and the legendary Longquan treasure, the richest person in the world is Li Wenzhe, who is in charge of the world's merchants.
In this way, there was a slight change in the class of the original Shinong, industrialist, and industrial, and the rich began to be able to do whatever they wanted.
And Lee Ming-che, the richest, has become the target of all forces.
It's just that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is not an official organization, and it was established at the beginning of its establishment that it was not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court......
Therefore, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has always maintained a neutral attitude and has always turned a blind eye to those who woo Li Wenzhe.
It is precisely because of this attitude of neutrality that although many forces are dissatisfied, they do not dare to make radical moves, for fear of forcing him to the side of their enemies.
If someone finds out that his son is walking with the king of Longxi County, what will it cause?
Suspicion! I wonder if he is tied to the king of Longxi County.
Li Wenzhe and Song Wen informed him of this, but Li Ze didn't know.
Seeing that his father didn't agree, he was a little anxious.
This was his only chance, and if he missed it, he would spend the next two years in the Library.
"Don't be Dad, Grandpa Zhong said that the big star position is a hurdle, and you can't cross the sea and the sky, and you can't do it with your father.
It's been a long time since my strength has been stuck at the peak of the big star position, and I have a hunch that as long as I travel with Brother Wentong, I will definitely break through.
Dad, if you don't agree, do you want to see your son like you, who can't be strong all his life?"
Li Wenzhe's face showed hesitation again, as a person who came over, it was really embarrassing that the strength of the big star position was not up or down.
Especially their Li family......
Seeing that his father was still hesitating, Li Ze could only release his big move.
"Dad, have you forgotten my Li family's ancestral teachings?"
The ancestor of the Li family, after hearing these four words, Li Wenzhe was excited.
Sighing helplessly, he waved at him.
"Well, since it's all your own choice, so be it!"
"Dad, do you really agree?"
"Well, okay, I still have something to discuss with Wen Tongxian's nephew, you go down to accompany your mother first, you have to leave as soon as you come back... Hey!"
After getting a positive answer from his father, Li Ze's head didn't hurt, his legs didn't hurt, his waist was better, and he went up to the fifth floor in one go......
Ahem! In short, I was very excited, and I could say goodbye to those 1,300 ancient books.
