Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Bed Warmer

Li Yao spread his hands and said to Yin Er and the others: "I have already rescued you, the benefits you promised me should be cashed in!"

Yin Er's face was pale, thinking that this dead girl dared to collect debts in front of the young master. was forced by the situation to be knocked by Li Yao before, and at this moment he didn't want to admit it, but it was not good to show it in front of everyone, so he had to say coldly: "Can we still rely on your little girl's account?"

"Then take me to your treasure trove, I don't feel sure about what I haven't gotten my hands on. Li Yao didn't eat him, and he was willing to give up until he received the benefits. Tong San was afraid that Li Yao would make things stiff, so he hurriedly persuaded her: "Xiao Yao, we have just returned to the island, and there are still a lot of things to do, so I will take you to the treasure house tomorrow." I am here, don't worry, whoever wants to repay the debt, I will help you beat him!" When he said this, he glared at Yin'er. Xi Wu also said: "Xiao Yao, you can put a hundred hearts." The second brother has always said the same, and the benefits he promised you are naturally the same, and our brothers will also open the treasure house for you to choose when the time comes, how about it?"

Li Yao's side agreed, but the young master Xiang Fu and Tie Si were still in the dark, I don't know what these people are talking about, and let these brothers on the island explain the matter. Jin Yi was too lazy to say, Yin Er glanced at Li Yao and didn't want to say, and Tong San wanted to say but couldn't understand it. In the end, Xi Wu had to delete the experience of going out of the island this time and briefly explain it. Xiang Fu figured out the reason, and thought to himself: "Li Yao saved me just for the benefits promised by Yingong, but I was amorous. ”

Yin Er suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Xiang Fu, bowed his head and said: "I waited for the island to be delayed and did not return, and the rescue was too late, so the young master was in danger." Please punish the young master!" Xiang Fu hurriedly helped him up and said urgently: "Yin Gong must not do this great gift." I have been raised by the princes, and I have worked hard for you all day long, and I have no way to repay this kindness. There is a reason why you are a few days late, and no one expected those krakens to suddenly attack the island. Fortunately, I didn't have an accident, why are you guilty?" Yin Er didn't want to say anything, but he still couldn't help but blame himself in his heart. Xiang Fu said to everyone again: "It's getting late, let's go back to Xiaoyao Palace first." Miss Li has just arrived, and we should have done our best to be the landlord, and we also happened to wash the dust for the princess. ”

Xi Wu summoned the flying boat, and several people took the body of Gonggong Liu and boarded the boat together. The boat headed up the hill in the center of the island, and Li Yao stood at the bow of the boat and looked around the island. Seeing that Xiaoyao Island is very large, the south side is a towering and upright mountain cliff and stone wall, the east side is a single branch of a dangerous cliff, on top is the stone building where it has been staying, the north side is a gentle hillside, stretching down, and there is a broad beach, the west side is similar to the north side, but the mountain is steeper and the beach is getting narrower. The center of the island is naturally the top of the mountain, and there are many buildings scattered according to the mountain, which is the "Xiaoyao Palace".

Li Yao took advantage of the fact that people were not aware of it, and carried out the small magic power of "knowing the land", and his eyes were bright, and he saw that the inside of the island and mountain was dense, and there must be a treasure house, which was the treasure house that Jin Yi and others said; and the steep stone wall in the south also hid a different kind of breath, sometimes sharp, sometimes warm, or rigid or soft, neither yin nor yang, but could not distinguish what it was. Li Yao put away the little supernatural powers, thinking about finding an opportunity to secretly go to the stone wall and dig out the treasure.

When they reached the top of the mountain, everyone got off the flying boat, and with a casual move, the flying boat quickly became smaller, and finally it was only the size of a walnut and fell into the hands of Xi Wu. Li Yao was surprised, and his eyes were even hotter about this flying boat.

Li Yao looked around and saw that the architectural style of these house courtyards was not much different from that of the outside world, but the layout was more elegant, which seemed to imply some formation. Five smaller courtyards such as five-star arches are guarded around, and in the middle is a larger courtyard, in which the hall, hall, Zhai, Zhai, pavilion, pavilion are readily available, but the specifications are all small, and it seems to be compact. When everyone came to the courtyard in the middle, a group of slaves had already come out to greet them, and Li Yao took a cursory glance, they were all middle-aged and elderly men who had not cultivated. Xiang Fu arranged for them to prepare a dinner, and ordered someone to fetch the coffin, put Liu Lao's body in it, and then find a place to bury it after dawn.

Everyone entered the main hall, but stopped Li Yao outside the hall, saying that there was something important to discuss, and asked her to wait outside. Li Yaoxin said: "I came to your broken island, I am a guest, how can I be so hospitable? and make it so mysterious, as if we rarely listen to your nonsense!"

Xiang Fu sat at the top, and Wuwei stood below. When Yin Er told the alliance between the imperial court and the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, everyone who heard it was shocked and panicked. Xi Wu spoke to stabilize everyone, and then analyzed the situation: "The alliance between the imperial court and the Heaven and Earth Pavilion is ostensibly disadvantageous to us, but in fact it has created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. First, the imperial court and the Heaven and Earth Pavilion have been fighting for thousands of years, and the gap is quite deep, although they have formed an alliance, but they each have ghosts in their hearts, and they may not be able to cooperate sincerely. Second, the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, we have been carefully planning for more than ten years, the accumulation is not deep, the initiative is on our side, just wait for the opportunity, as soon as the shot is the momentum of thunder, although the imperial court is guarded, it is difficult to control the situation. In addition, the government does not repair the government, resulting in the abolition of discipline and discipline, and there are many people in the states of heaven and earth who are not subservient; now it is a great achievement, and the alliance with the Heaven and Earth Pavilion wants to destroy the demons and demons, and achieve a great cause, which is really the way to take trouble. After this battle, the damage to the imperial court will be great, and those who are ready to move will wait for the opportunity to rise. If the world is in turmoil, the young lord comes out in the name of Junzheng, and the sword is pointed at the people who are not in the right position and lose the hearts of the people, and the world will gather to respond. As the saying goes, those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. ”

Xi Wu's words came out, and everyone's hearts were uplifted, feeling that the alliance between the imperial court and the Heaven and Earth Pavilion was not only not a bad thing, but a great good thing, and they couldn't help but have more confidence that victory was already in sight. Only Xi Wu was bitter in his heart, he only said the good side of his words, but he didn't dare to say the more bad side in his heart, for fear of breaking everyone's spirit and losing confidence in recovering the country.

Before the dinner began, Li Yao had already walked around the inside and outside of the Xiaoyao Palace.

In the dining room, the guests of honor are seated. Xiang Fu sat alone at the top, and there were three long tables on the left and right below. On the left is a table of gold and silver, a table of iron and a tin table, and on the right is a table of Li Yao and a table of copper and a table. Xiang Fu made this arrangement, and he had already put Li Yao in the position of a distinguished guest. Li Yao didn't understand these ways, but he felt that eating a meal was so far away from each other, and he was both angry and uncomfortable. A group of slaves began to serve food and pour wine, each table was the same, Li Yao was dissatisfied again, and muttered to Tong Laosan: "Why does he eat and drink as much as the two of us?" Li Yao reluctantly accepted this arrangement, glanced around again, and asked, "Why are all men on your island? Tong Laosan was stumped by this question: "I can't say clearly, anyway, we didn't bring women when we went to the island." ”

At the beginning of the banquet, Xiang Fu raised his glass to congratulate him, one respects heaven and earth, two respects the common people, and three respects the ancestors and ancestors. The congratulatory speech was long and tasteless, Li Yao was annoyed when he looked at it, and he was tired of listening to it, and pulled Tong San to continue the previous topic: "Then aren't the families of your five brothers here?" Tong San said with a look of course: "We are all single, where are our family members?" Li Yao was puzzled, thinking that these people were all profound and well-established figures, and they all had no wives and no children, and asked: "Why is this?" Tong San raised his chin, thought about it seriously, and said: "The eldest brother once said: 'It costs money to raise a woman, and it costs even more money to raise a son. So he didn't want to start a family on his own. Li Yao instantly understood, he deserved to be rich and rivaled by Jin Yi, who loves money to such an extent, it is intolerable if he is not rich.

Tong San said again: "As for the second Yin, he deserves it." Don't look at him as unlucky now, he was quite a sign when he was young, and there were so many beautiful girls around him. He has a younger sister named Ling'er, who is the Mr. Mao you saw before, and the two of them can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. The dead man of Yin Lao Er obviously likes Ling'er, but his junior brother also likes Ling'er, so he took the initiative to quit, and then he wandered everywhere, attracting bees and butterflies everywhere, and got the name of a prodigal son in love. But Ling'er didn't like his junior brother, and his junior brother felt ashamed of him, so he ran away, but he died outside. Yin Lao Er felt that he had harmed his junior brother, and he had no face to see Ling'er again, so he also left the master's door. Later, Ling'er came to him and wanted to compete with him, saying that if he lost, he would marry her. He naturally wanted to marry Ling'er, but he refused to lose to her because of his death...... (Hundreds of words omitted here) Anyway, it has been tossed like this for decades, and it has become the bird it is now. Li Yao listened to it at first, and he was very energetic, Mr. Mao of Tiandi Pavilion actually had a leg with Yin Lao Er! This gossip was simply too exciting! But there was a lot of rambling from Tong Lao San in the back, and it was all him and hers, and he almost fell asleep listening to it.

Xiang Fu's toast was finally finished. Li Yao picked up chopsticks and prepared to eat, but Xiang Fu began to pay tribute to Liu Gonggong again, recounting his past achievements. Li Yao had no choice but to turn his head and ask Tong San: "What about the third uncle, why don't you get married?" Tong Lao San's face turned red: "I, it's a little hard for me to say this." Under Li Yao's questioning, Tong Laosan had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "I have been practicing pure yang boy skills since I was a child, but I can't be with women, otherwise I will break my skills." Li Yao was stunned for a while, no wonder Yin Lao Er scolded the third old virgin of Tong, why is he so cheap, I have to ask to understand, this is embarrassing! Fortunately, Li Yao is thick-skinned enough, and then asked: "What about the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle? The two of them look good, and their personalities are not bad, can't they also practice some children's skills?" Tong Laosan glanced up at Tie Si and Xi Wu, and said to Li Yao even more quietly: "I don't dare to talk nonsense about them, you can see it yourself." Li Yao thought that your big mouth had said everything that should be said and should not be said, what did you dare not say with such a tail?

At this time, Xiang Fu finished reading a eulogy and poured the wine in the cup on the ground, which was regarded as a farewell to Gonggong Liu. Li Yao thought that he could finally start eating, and Xiang Fu began to raise a glass again to wash the dust for the princes who went out of the island. Li Yao endured hunger and continued to listen to him, holding his chin and asking Tong San: "That dead father-in-law Liu is a eunuch, right?" Tong San listened to Xiang Fu with a serious face, and it was not good to talk to Li Yao, so he nodded slightly. Li Yao asked again: "I heard Xiang Fu's kid call you gold and silver duke, have you also become eunuchs?" Hearing this, Tong Laosan hurriedly shook his head, and his big head shook like a giant rattle, causing everyone in the hall to look sideways. Tong Laosan felt out of shape, quickly stopped, sat upright, and waited for everyone to stop looking at him, and then whispered to Li Yao: "The young master calls us Gong, that is an honorific title." This is not the same as a eunuch being called a father-in-law. Li Yao seemed to understand whether he understood or not, thinking that it was probably a name, and he didn't bother to study it in detail. Suddenly, I heard Xiang Fu say his name, so I sat down and listened to what he said.

Xiang Fu said: "Li Yao was invited by the princes to return to Xiaoyao Island, and he is the only guest of my Xiaoyao Island for more than ten years. At this time, he no longer had the panic when he saw a woman for the first time, and said to Li Yao with a smile: "You saved my life, this kindness cannot be repaid, in addition to the benefits promised by the princes, I will also present you with a thank you gift." What do you want? As long as I have or can do it, I can satisfy you. ”

Li Yao listened to the fun, and couldn't imagine that this fool still didn't think that the elders in the family were not enough, and he had to send things to himself. Yin Er suddenly stood up: "Young master, this matter must not be allowed!"

Xiang Fu turned around and asked, "Why not?" Li Yao cast a hateful gaze at Yin Er, not knowing what the hell this old boy was going to do.

Yin Er came out to stop it, what he was afraid of was that Xiang Fu boasted of going to Haikou, Li Yao took the opportunity to put forward a request to send her back to Tiandizhou, and the young master was the most faithful, and then things would be difficult to do. Hurriedly said: "Li Yao, this girl's life was saved by us, and the reason why we took her back to the island was because I thought that the young master was getting older, and there was still a lack of a warm bed maid by her side, so she took this great blessing in vain." Therefore, saving the young master is what she should do, and there is no need to give a reward......"

How could Li Yao endure this humiliation, and rushed out directly: "Yin Er, you are looking for death!"
