Chapter Twenty-Eight: Little Lu and Little Li

Li Wuchang and Zhao Xun finished discussing, practiced light exercises for a while, and saw that it was not early, so he politely refused Xiaoxi's request to leave him for dinner, and said goodbye and went home.

Maybe there's still a battle to be fought.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Li Mansion, the chief housekeeper Ye Rong came out to greet him, saying that he was waiting for the fourth son, and the lord was invited.

Li Wuchang was a little surprised in his heart, but he was already prepared, but he didn't show any abnormality, chatting with the old housekeeper as usual, talking about everything, and didn't open his mouth to test.

The old housekeeper was as enthusiastic as ever, and took Li Wuchang to the garden, saying that he was going to report and let Li Wuchang wait.

Li Wuchang agreed and stood in place waiting for the summons, bored, he knew that Li Lingwu was very busy and did not allow others to disturb him easily.

Suddenly, the sound of the breaking wind sounded behind itself, and the surroundings became scorching.

Someone wanted to sneak attack him, Li Wuchang instantly judged it, and just wanted to dodge it, but held back.

His mind was racing, this was his father's residence, how could anyone come to attack him, not to mention that the person who came used the internal strength of "Cangyan Jue", Li Wuchang has been practicing his internal strength every day these days, and he is extremely familiar with this scorching breath.

Someone wants to test themselves.

Thinking like this, Li Wuchang quickly gathered his true qi, suspended his operation, and decided to take a hard blow.

"Smack!"

Li Wuchang received a slap on the shoulder, snorted miserably, shook his body, fell to the ground, and looked back at the sneak attacker, it was Li Hu.

"Uncle Hu?" Li Wuchang looked at Li Hu with a look of disbelief, and said aggrievedly, "Why are you beating me?"

Li Hu smiled apologetically and said, "Didn't I give you a book of martial arts practice experience a few days ago, I'll see how you learned today." ”

Li Wuchang showed a look of sudden realization, and whispered: "Didn't I say it at that time, I wanted to use it to pretend, how could I practice martial arts." ”

He rubbed his shoulders again and complained, "You were too ruthless just now...... By the way, didn't you say that my father wanted to see me, why did you come too?"

Li Hu beckoned, motioning for Li Wuchang to follow, and the two came to the side hall and sat down.

"Your father is busy, let me talk to you about something. Li Hu explained his intentions.

"Oh, that's it, what are you talking about, won't it be martial arts again, I just tried it a few days ago, and it took me a lot of effort to ...... The second brother's entourage Zhang Tong fell down, and he also had a reputation as a side-by-side. Li Wuchang was a little dissatisfied.

"It's not about martial arts. Li Hu waved his hand, glanced at Li Wuchang, and suddenly said, "Do you know what happened in Chang'an City these days?"

Li Wuchang said excitedly: "I know, I go to Dongshi every day these days, and there are a lot of rumors, but I don't know which one is true." ”

After a pause, he asked curiously: "Uncle Protector, what the hell is going on, is the third prince really a slave of the family?"

Li Hu found that Li Wuchang's expression was not abnormal, some were just excited, and it seemed that he was happy to hear that the third prince was unlucky.

"You've been out every day these days, and you've come back at night?" Li Hu asked lightly.

"yes, go out early and return late. Li Wuchang replied very simply.

Li Hu stared into Li Wuchang's eyes and did not speak.

Li Wuchang also looked at Li Hu, blinked his eyes, and said curiously: "Uncle Hu, why are you looking at me like this?"

He knew that Li Hu was pressuring him to show his flaws, and now he could be sure that Li Hu was a little suspicious of him, but there was no evidence, so he tried to test him.

Li Hu first sneaked up in the garden to test whether he could do martial arts, and now he used his eyes to exert pressure, interrogators often use this trick, but he is proficient in psychology, how can he easily reveal flaws.

Between the lightning and flint, Li Wuchang had already guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight, and his heart had also settled down.

Hmph, there's no evidence, I'm afraid of a hair.

Li Hu retracted his gaze and asked, "These days, you have worked hard to get rid of the people who are following you, and you come back so late every day, and you tell me honestly, what the hell have you done." ”

"What, somebody's following me? Li Wuchang said in amazement, looking like he didn't understand what Li Hu was saying at all.

Skip a trap first.

"Then what the hell are you doing at night, coming back so late. Li Hu ignored it and continued to ask.

Seeing that Li Hu was so urgent, it seemed that he was determined to ask for a reason, so he simply retreated.

"Hehe, I'll tell you secretly, Uncle Hu, can you tell anyone. Li Wuchang looked left and right mysteriously, and continued in a low voice: "I saw a lot of leaflets in Dongshi that said bad things about the three princes and the imperial court, and the discussions were all about scholars and young knights, and I admired them in my heart, so I also made fun of them and made two poems. ”

"Poetry?" Li Hu frowned.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. How is it, is it okay?" Li Wuchang looked a little surprised.

"That's what you wrote?" Li Hu asked, his tone a little unkind.

"Uncle Hu, don't get excited, I said it casually, there were still people applauding at the time, who knew that a flyer with these two verses would appear the next day, how did I know it would be like this. Li Wuchang raised his hand and shouted.

"That's it?" Li Hu was shocked in his heart, and weighed the truth of Li Wuchang's words.

There is nothing flawed in Li Wuchang's performance, and there is nothing wrong with his wording.

"What else can I do, the next day I was so frightened that I didn't dare to go to those people anymore, for fear that they would recognize me...... By the way, don't tell your father about it. Li Wuchang said.

"The poems are good!" Li Hu said lightly, and the compelling momentum finally dissipated.

"Hehe, I think it's good too. Li Wuchang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, don't be complacent. This kind of poem is not something that can be made randomly, do you know that during the Great Dynasty, the Holy Lord recited your two verses, and he was furious, and he dismissed Chang'an Mansion Yin on the spot, if it is spread out, you will not have any good fruit to eat. Li Hu snorted coldly.

"Just telling the truth. Li Wuchang muttered quietly and lowered his head.

Li Hu sighed in his heart, putting aside the impact, these two poems are indeed very good, thinking about the past two months, this is really the case in Chang'an City.

The big families can't eat all the wine and meat, and the people on the streets are starving to death every day.

"Count your spirit, I can't see that you kid is still a little literate. Li Hu sighed.

"Alas, I can't practice martial arts, so I'll read more books, so as not to fall into a reputation of not being able to write and martial arts, and lose the face of our Li family. Li Wuchang said.

Li Hu nodded and said with a smile: "It's best if you think like this, by the way, when did Xue Laosi go home that day?"

"Xue Laosi, why go home, isn't he dead?" Li Wuchang said in amazement, sneering in his heart, he hasn't given up the temptation yet, I, Li Erleng, am not a vegetarian.

Hehe, he came home at the end of the day, and then I killed him.

Li Hu finally gave up and said, "It's nothing, your father shouldn't see you today, you can go back." ”

Li Wuchang stood up, and a strange thought suddenly surged in his heart, he really wanted to scare Li Hu and his family, so that they should not underestimate themselves.

Thinking so, he looked at Li Hu and said with a smile: "Uncle Hu, I have been listening to books these days, and I have heard such a story, and I think it is interesting, do you want to listen to it?" ”

Li Hu was interested and motioned for him to continue.

"Anyway, there is a landlord who has a lot of power in the family, and he has a son, Xiao Lu, who relies on the power of the family to behave all day long, and especially likes to bully their son Xiao Li. Xiao Li is pitiful, his body is weak, he can't beat Xiao Lu, his status is low, he doesn't dare to scold Xiao Lu, and he has no friends to help him, his family also told him not to provoke Xiao Lu, he is wronged. Li Wuchang told the story.

Li Hu was stunned when he heard the title of Xiao Lu and Xiao Li.

"It's okay to say that Xiao Li is a soft egg, but it's a pity that he has a backbone. One day, taking advantage of the darkness, he picked up a knife and stabbed Xiao Lu, and no one saw it. Xiao Lu was injured, and the landlord was furious, and sent people on the spot, vowing to find out the murderer. Some people suspected that Xiao Li did it, because Xiao Li was sneaky that day, so they interrogated Xiao Li, and they used a lot of means, but unfortunately nothing came out. Li Wuchang looked at Li Hu and smiled brightly.

Hearing this, Li Hu's brows furrowed.

"You say this little Li is not hateful, cunning or not?" Li Wuchang sighed.

After a moment of silence, he continued: "It stands to reason that this Xiao Li has taken revenge, and he should be happy." But he felt unhappy, he thought that revenge would not be famous, and he was angry, but unfortunately he couldn't tell the truth to others, which suffocated him, so he had to tell a story to imply to others, very naΓ―ve, he just wanted to tell others, although some people are weak, low status, and don't have many friends, but they are by no means easy to mess with. ”

Li Hu finally changed color, stood up and stared at Li Wuchang.

After Li Wuchang finished the story, he snorted and said, "Okay, Uncle Hu, the story is over, I should go back too...... By the way, I also want to say that those who tried Xiao Li used the wrong method, and Xiao Li should be hung up and beaten hard, children, they are very afraid of pain, and they will admit it as soon as they go down with a stick. ”

After a pause, he said: "But it's hard to say, Xiao Li may resist, because he knows that those who interrogated him have no conclusive evidence, he just needs to resist being beaten to death and not admit it, and then he will keep these people in his heart again, and wait for the revenge ...... later."

"Oh, it's not too early, I should really go back, the nurse is still waiting for me to eat, Uncle Hu, let's talk another day." Li Wuchang looked at the sky, and a warm smile appeared on his face again, and he said goodbye to Li Hu.

He waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Smack. Watching Li Wuchang leave, Li Hu couldn't help but pat the table, and his heart was panicked.

Li Lingwu, Li Qing, and Li Zhongyue all walked out of the inner hall with different expressions.

They have been hiding in the inner hall, listening to the confrontation between Li Hu and Li Wuchang's two uncles and nephews in the outer hall.

"I didn't expect that I, Li Hu, would also have today, and I was tricked by a child. Li Hu was angry.

"Could it really be that he did it, or is it a trick?" Li Qing was puzzled.

"Look at his confident look, isn't he who he is, he just calculated that we couldn't find any evidence, so he deliberately told this story to disgust people...... Good boy, I just don't know how he killed Xue Laosi. Li Zhongyue analyzed, looking quite excited.

After the three of them finished speaking, they all looked at Li Lingwu.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road, good poetry!" Li Lingwu sighed.

Then he laughed and said lightly: "Very good story, you can tell me, will this Xiao Li in the story be successful in the future?"

"Of course there will be a difference. Li Zhongyue was the first to speak.

"It's just that the son of the landlord dares to stab him. Li Qing was speechless.

"Thoughtful, thoughtful, and knows how to endure and shine the sword. Li Hu concluded.

Li Lingwu was silent for a moment and said: "Okay, the story is here, since no one saw Xiao Li stabbing Xiao Lu, and Xiao Li was so wronged, there is no need to dig deeper." ”

Li Hu and the other three said yes.

Li Lingwu said again: "In addition, get an idea as soon as possible and give it to the saint." ”

Li Hu nodded and said, "There is also a secret lair of the Khitans, who was originally going to put a long line to catch big fish, so let's use it now." ”

"This group of Khitan spies took the opportunity to make trouble and tried to ruin the reputation of the prince, they are really bold, they must be completely eliminated and given an explanation to the saint. Li Lingwu set the tone for things.
