Everyone has ambitions, and you don't need to think about this sentence, that's the truth.

Ambitions can be big or small, far or near. The beggar on the side of the road thinks that one day he will be able to walk into the inn like a traveler and eat food, and this is his ambition; the peasant worker who works all day thinks that he will one day have dozens of acres of fertile land like the landlord's family, and this is his ambition; the Qing Qi who sells a smile all day long in the Red Mansion thinks that one day she can be taken by a certain son and become a concubine, and this is her ambition; the concubine in the lintel of the rich family thinks that she can one day squeeze out the lady of the main house, and from now on she will no longer have to look at the eyes of others to live, this is her ambition。

Again, everyone has ambitions, big or small, far or near.

Li Xiaoer has his ambitions.

When the street sweeper who adopted him died, his ambition was to live, to live better than all the miscellaneous servants. When he survived with all his hard work, his ambition was to be a small steward, so that he could earn more money and do less work from now on. When he heard Wang Dana's nonsense, his ambition was to save enough money to one day go to the Yihong Mansion to rhyme with the taste of a man.

Now his ambitions have changed.

After following Tang Qiuya out of the inn with his back bowed that day, he raised his head slightly, the sun outside was indeed much brighter than the sun inside the courtyard of the handyman, the smell from the wind outside was indeed much better than the smell inside his temporary residence, and the woman outside was indeed much better than those rough-nosed handymen.

How good it was outside, he never wanted to go back to that dark cubicle and live with his broom.

The more he sees the scenery outside, the more he sees the sophistication outside, the more his ambition swells, and he is deliberately arrogant!

"This kid has a backbone. Wei Lao secretly observed that Li Xiaoer had only replied to Tang Qiuya in just half an hour.

Tang Qiuya turned her head to look at Li Xiaoer, who was hunched over to bring tea to herself, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. ”

Wei Lao nodded, and after Li Xiaoer finally put the tea on the table, he clapped his hands at Li Xiaoer, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Li Xiaoer was overjoyed, and forcibly held back the ecstasy on his face, but he still couldn't hide the corners of his mouth, so he buried his head, tried to stabilize his voice, and asked: "The villain doesn't know what is wrong with him, but he is willing to accept the punishment." ”

Li Xiaoer is not stupid, he knows that many times only stupid subordinates can please the master, and the smarter the master, the more so.

Wei Lao was even more shrewd, he didn't need to pay attention to it to feel the slight tremor in Li Xiaoer's words, he didn't like this kind of style, but he didn't break Li Xiaoer's cleverness.

The shrewd master likes the truth of stupid subordinates, since Li Xiaoer knows, can he not know? He is smarter than Li Xiaoer is that he can always set his position, he is not the master, Tang Qiuya is.

Tang Qiuya could naturally feel Li Xiaoer's cleverness, but she didn't break it, and Wei Lao naturally wouldn't take the lead.

"It's not to punish you, come with me. Wei Lao shouted outside the courtyard.

Li Xiaoer hurriedly followed.

"I ask you," Wei Lao stood hunched over in the courtyard

, He didn't look at Li Xiaoer, he said, "Do you know who you are?"

"I'm Li Xiaoer. ”

"Think again. ”

"I... I am the master's dog. ”

"Good. Wei Lao replied: "Since you are the master's dog, you must know the truth that the dog that bites the master's must not live long." ”

Li Xiaoer's body trembled for a while, and he hurriedly lowered his head, "Don't dare, don't dare, how dare the villain... ”

Wei Lao smiled, and the folds on his face piled up, like the dry bark of a dry old tree, more like the twilight under the twilight of the twilight setting sun. He didn't talk much about this, and said: "I have a secret book, called "Geranium", and after practicing this secret book, you will be able to fly the eaves and walk the wall, and cross the river and the sea. You were bullying you boy in the inn that day, and you can step on it casually, can you practice it?"

Finally waiting for the topic, Li Xiaoer hurriedly raised his head, not hiding the joy in his eyes at all. Maybe it's also the reason why it can't be concealed at all.

The beggars on the side of the road picked up a large bag of silver, the working peasant laborers turned out a box of gold in the farmland and bought dozens of acres of fertile land, the old and decrepit geisha in the Red Mansion were redeemed by a rich and noble son, and the concubine in the lintel of the rich and noble finally survived until the day when the main house died of a long illness.

How can you not laugh wildly, how can you not be happy?

It's just that before Li Xiaoer could speak, Wei Lao said again: "It's just that this "Tiankui" exercise is a bit special, and only people who are full of yin qi can cultivate. And it's extremely domineering, so the woman can't bear the strength of it, and it won't be long before the meridians are broken by it, do you know what I mean?"

Li Xiaoer was stunned, looked at Wei Lao with a puzzled expression and said nothing.

Wei Lao laughed again, and his face slowly turned cold with a smile, and he said in an extremely gloomy tone: "I mean, if you want to practice this exercise, then you have to be a eunuch!"

Li Xiaoer's pupils shrank sharply, he suddenly lowered his head, and after a long time, he raised his head and said in a begging tone: "Isn't there any other exercise?

Wei Lao looked at Li Xiaoer's eyes and teased, "Didn't you say that you are the master's dog? Why can't you even clean your body for the master? Or do you not think so in your heart?"

Li Xiaoer was shocked, knelt on the ground with a plop, and couldn't stop kowtowing, and soon a wisp of bright red spread on the bluestone floor, "The villain never had such an idea!" The master took me out of the teahouse and threw away the broom in my hand, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for the master all my life, and I dare not have two hearts!"

didn't stop Li Xiaoer's movements, Wei Lao just turned sideways, "Loyalty or disloyalty is not based on words, but by doing, you don't even want to purify your body, what kind of loyalty do you say?"

Elder Wei threw the "Tiankui" exercise in his arms in front of Li Xiaoer, he turned around and left, "This courtyard is yours, if you figure it out, you don't need to purify your body, you just need to practice, this exercise can make your yang root fall off by itself after three months of cultivation." If you don't want to, crawl out of this courtyard, go back to your teahouse, and be a sweeper again. ”

Li Xiaoer knelt on the ground for a long time and didn't get up, he looked at the secret book in front of him, his eyes were dim.

。。

。。。。。

"Is it done?" Tang Qiuya took a sip of tea and said softly.

Elder Wei bowed and saluted, "I guess he will." ”

"Guess?" Tang Qiuya turned her head and frowned slightly.

"Yes. "Wei Lao is respectful.

Tang Qiuya turned her head to look up at the sky, looking at the scenery outside through the slanting branches of a few big trees in the courtyard, and she said, "But it's okay, it's not too much more than that, and it's not a lot less than that." ”

"Your Highness has a point. ”

Tang Qiuya stood up, paced in the courtyard, and after a long time, turned her head and asked, "Is there any news from that person?"

Wei Lao shook his head, "No, that person's whereabouts, although that person made an agreement with His Highness a few years ago, but for so long, we still haven't been able to unearth the slightest secret from him, we don't know where he came from, we don't know what his purpose is." ”

"I don't need to know his purpose, I just need him to find out for me. Tang Qiuya said: "It's okay to give him some of the benefits, we just need to know that he has an embarrassing relationship with our actions." At the end, Tang Qiuya turned her head and smiled: "Isn't it too wronged to say wolf and embarrassment? If you say Jackie Chan and Phoenix, doesn't it sound more comfortable?"

Wei Lao didn't say anything, this is his cleverness.

After a long time, Wei Lao said: "Compared to that person, I am actually more worried about the two boys we met a few days ago. I don't know why, but I always felt like there was a big hand in the dark that implicated us with those two boys. In addition, the male and female Taoist priests in the inn that day also had some... ”

"It doesn't matter, the two boys who have no one in their eyes can't make any waves, and the two Taoist priests can't be implicated in this court world. ”

Wei Lao nodded.

At this time, Li Xiaoer walked in from outside, he held a pot of tea in his hand, and after walking in, he saluted Tang Qiuya respectfully, "Master, the villain is here to change tea for the master." ”

Tang Qiuya's eyes were inexplicable, and she said, "Have you thought about it?"

Li Xiaoer's body trembled slightly, "Think about it." ”

Tang Qiuya stared at Li Xiaoer's every move, watched him carefully add tea, salute carefully, and walk out of the courtyard carefully.

She said, "Old Wei, do you think this person can be loyal?"

Wei Lao looked at Li Xiaoer's slightly straightened back after he walked out of the courtyard, "Your Highness, there is no one in this world who is absolutely loyal, and loyalty can only be mutual interests and submission to the strong." ”

Tang Qiuya frowned, and she said, "Is it even the same with you, Old Wei?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Wei Lao replied: "You are right. ”

"Even myself?"

"Yes, even His Highness himself is not sure, because everyone needs to know whether your loyalty to yourself can support your ambitions. ”

Tang Qiuya frowned, she sat down and personally made a cup of tea for herself.

She said, "I'm a little tired, you can go down first." ”

Wei Lao nodded, saluted respectfully, and turned to leave.

His back was slightly hunched and his gait was staggering.

Ever since he was purified at the age of fourteen, he has never straightened his back.
