"Knock Knock Knock ......"

There was a knock on the door, and Li Zhao's voice sounded outside the door.

"Advance ......"

"Young master, Xing Zhutou has already set up a banquet in Tongfu Restaurant and is waiting for us to come over. Li Zhao walked in in a cyan robe, and on his shoulder sat an ingot, nibbling on a pine cone. "Zhang Fuzun is also there!"

"Hmm...... I know. ”

Li Xian stood up, and with a wave of his hand, the long knife glowing with demonic scarlet automatically flew into a pitch-black and simple scabbard, and the edge was all restrained. Squatted slightly, hugged the dog's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Today's party is over, the Lantern Festival ...... Shall we have fun?"

A trace of helplessness flashed on Li Zhao's face, what happened this year made him change from a hairy child to a calculating 'devil' without blinking, and his psychology was extremely mature, which made him become a little bored in his heart for some things that he should have hoped for.

"Dog ......"

Li Xian noticed a trace of helplessness flashing on his face, and his big hand wrapped around his neck and got up hard.

"Young Master...... Master...... Out of breath. Li Zhao hurriedly patted the thick and burly arm around his neck with his hand, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Go, go!"

Li Xian let out a rather sly laugh: "Hehe~"

In fact, Li Zhao knew in his heart that his young master wanted to make up for himself, but the last thing he needed was what the young master owed to him.

Ancestors have been housekeepers in the Li Mansion for several generations, even if the Li family is in decline and there are only two or three big cats and kittens left, his grandfather and his father have not left, and the fate of each other has been tightly entangled for a hundred years, for Li Zhao, as long as he can help the young master, it is enough to follow the young master!

Li Zhao knew that Li Xian's heart was very high and big, and he was afraid of ...... It's just that he has no "value" by Li Xian's side, so he will follow the young master closely no matter what.

"Let's go......"

After Li Xian finished speaking, he took the lead in the front, and the long knife seemed to fly to him spiritually and was hung on his waist. Li Zhao followed closely with ingots.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, he heard the sound of knives chopping wood next door, Li Xian glanced at Li Zhao, who immediately understood and said with a smile: "It's Xiaoshan practicing knives." ”

Li Xian nodded thoughtfully, glanced at the sky, it was still early, and it was about five o'clock in the evening, and he immediately walked to the courtyard next to him.

Walking through a corridor, you can see from a distance that on the huge school field, Xiaoshan and Ren Shiwan are practicing knives together, and the demeanor of the two is not easy.

Xiaoshan practiced the knife, his eyes were extremely calm, and his grip was calm and powerful, even if he was a beginner, he consciously controlled the rhythm of his breathing, and the pace of his feet, avoiding the sawdust that was chopped by the blade.

On the contrary, Ren Shiwan, this kid, showed a fierce light, as if he regarded the wooden man in front of him as a barbarian, and the knife was forced, all of them attacked to the critical parts, but this kid's physical strength was actually good, and he only gasped slightly after cutting for a long time.

In the corner of the school field, Xiaohu was sitting on a stone, holding his chin and watching the two of them practice knives, not boring, and cheering from time to time.

Seeing this, Li Xian shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and shouted: "What are you guys doing?" ”

Li Zhao held back a smile at the corner of his mouth, leaned on the eaves of the arched wall, and looked at the three people on the school field with his hands in his hands.

Uncle. ” X2

This is what the hill and the little lake that ran over it were called.

"The hosts. ”

This is what Ren Shiwan called.

Li Xian half-squatted, his cold and hard face was slightly soft, the corners of his mouth were smiling, he stretched out his hands and rubbed the hair of the two rabbit cubs fiercely, and said seriously and seriously: "Knife, it's not like this, you have to practice the knife well, I'll teach you when I go back!"

Moon stick, year knife, lifetime gun, this sentence is not wrong, the knife is really easy to practice, and the blade of the blade is extremely lethal, looking at just a few horizontal and vertical chopping movements, it is really a sharp weapon on the battlefield.

But to say that this thing is not a technical job, it would be a big mistake, how much angle, how much force, how to cooperate with elbows, waist and legs, there are many doorways in this, there are thousands of exercises to get started, not to mention the cultivation of knife intent in the back, which is something that countless knife techniques everyone dreams of.

"Today is a good day, especially if you pick up tens of thousands, you grew up in Yuanye County, and you haven't seen the lantern festival in Wujun Mansion, right? “

Li Xian looked at Ren Shiwan's stubborn face and said gently. Then he looked at Xiaoshan again, and stretched out his hand to smooth his messy hair: "You are also my brother, and my sister has been waiting for you for a long time, and she will not go." ”

Xiaohu looked excited, and couldn't wait to respond: "Got it, uncle." ”

"Got it, master. ”

Li Xian shook his head and smiled, didn't say anything more, got up and walked to Li Zhao's side, and the two left with a smile.

After Li Xian and the two left for a while, the private conversation between the three guys had just begun.

Ren Shiwan looked at the direction Li Xian left with his eyes, and it took a long time before he turned his head, looked at Li Xiaoshan with a magical expression, and exclaimed: "Xiaoshan, how do you know that the master will definitely come here when he hears the sound of our sword practice."

"And it's really exactly the same as you said, the master will really teach us to practice knives!"

Maybe even Li Xian himself didn't expect that he was calculated by Xiaoshan, a child.

Xiao Shan's face was calm and calm, and his eyebrows were lightly pressed towards the center of his eyebrows, as if he was thinking about how to answer this sentence, and only when Xiaohu was about to wait to pull his sleeve did he say slowly: "Because ...... Uncle is actually a very gentle person. ”

"Ah......h

Ren Shiwan disturbed his hair and was puzzled.

In fact, for him, when Li Xian was willing to help him take revenge, he had already sold his whole life to Li Xian, calling him his master, and he was not afraid of Li Xian, and awe and respect accounted for a large part, so he always looked trembling in front of Li Xian.

On the contrary, Xiaoshan and Xiaohu are different from him, they were brought back by Li Zhao, and they became part of the Li family from the identity of orphans, calling Li Xian an uncle, in essence, they are actually a family.

Xiaoshan shook his head and didn't explain, because he didn't know how to explain it to Ren Shiwan. In fact, he spent very little time with Li Xian, and the most time with Li Zhao, but he could feel that under Li Xian's seemingly iceberg-like cold and hard cheeks, he was gentle to his relatives and companions he cared about.

"Brother...... Let's go, I heard there's a ball today. ”

Xiaohu held Xiaoshan's sleeve and shook it constantly, and the impatient look on his face could even be seen by a blind man.

"Good! good......! Let's go. Xiaoshan touched his sister's soft hair dotingly, turned his head and said with a smile to Ren Shiwan.

Although the two have not known each other for a long time, they have become good friends because of what happened to each other.

Ren Shiwan looked at Xiaohu, then at Xiaoshan, and focused on his head.

The two put the knife back on the weapon rack and left with Xiaohu talking and laughing.

Say the other way.

When Li Xian walked out of the mansion, he saw Xiao Liuzi and Lao Chen in armor waiting for them, followed by more than a dozen soldiers.

"It's really troublesome to be a parent...... Seeing this, he couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Li Erwu crossed his waist, and when he saw the battle of these people, he couldn't help laughing, stretched out his finger and pointed at them, and scolded with a smile: "Specially waiting for me to approve you, right?"

"Today's Lantern Festival, you probably haven't seen the real prosperity of Wujun, right...... Today, everyone has a good rest, have a good time, drink properly, and must come back before the hour!"

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Li. Xiao Liuzi immediately cheered, but he thought that he was stabbed in the back with the handle of a knife, "ouch", he immediately understood, and said righteously: "Since the general is going to the banquet, how can he not be followed by a soldier, won't it fall into the majesty of our Shanzi battalion, two or five hundred masters, you can take a few soldiers to go." ”

At this time, Lao Chen also stepped forward and said: "Two or five hundred masters, what Chen Liu said is very true, and besides, there are not many soldiers around you, so we don't feel at ease." ”

The corners of Li Xian's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and he looked at Xiao Liuzi with interest with a righteous look, said good, and said, "Then Xiao Liuzi will go with me with five soldiers." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Liuzi was stunned for a moment and didn't react, and it took a long time for him to collapse his face and respond dejectedly: "Okay, Brother Li." ”

"Hahaha......"

When everyone saw him looking like a living treasure, they couldn't help but laugh.

In this way, Lao Chen took the rest of the soldiers to discuss where to eat, and finally Liu Xiaoming was the east, and by the way, he became a tour guide to take them to have a good time.

Li Xian and the others didn't ride horses, they took a carriage and walked over directly, anyway, it was still early.

......

In the afterglow of the sunset or the red lanterns scattered with an ambiguous halo, a group of children are laughing and playing through the alleys extending in all directions;

Along the way, Li Xian saw this lively and prosperous world, and it was inevitable that there was a little warmth in his heart, a group of people walked straight to the location of Tongfu Restaurant, and when they reached an old teahouse, they heard a burst of applause, and then a full of old voice sounded, strong and powerful:

"Rank, last time, I said that Li Xian, the two or five hundred lord of the Shanzi Camp in Yuanye County, is a good man from our Wujun Mansion, and he defeated Tu Zheng, who is known as the "Little Jiaolong" in the rivers and lakes, and will participate in the martial arts of Shangdang County in the near future. But the big guy may not have expected that this general has done something big recently.

"Do you remember the incident in Yanmen Village......

At the door, Xiao Liuzi shouted in surprise: "Brother Li...... The old gentleman inside tells you your story. ”

Li Xian glanced at Li Zhao, who met his gaze and made direct eye contact.

"You did it?"

Li Zhao nodded and blinked his eyelids: "Hmm...... After all, Wu Jun is the foundation of our life, and the young master's reputation will naturally be well established here, and it will be easy to do things in the future. ”

Li Xian glanced at him, and said helplessly: "But the version you released is too exaggerated." ”

Li Zhao questioned it instead: "It's not an exaggeration, how can any tea customers be willing to listen, and the more exaggerated they are, the more they have a sense of substitution, so that they have an omnipotent image in their hearts!"

"Get ......"

Li Xian shrugged his shoulders and looked at it slightly, and Tongfu Restaurant was already close in front of him.

......

Tongfu Restaurant, 6th floor.

Li Xian and Li Zhao sat down under the greeting of Xingshan, and as for Xiao Liuzi, the position where they sat was a little out of the corner, but fortunately, these soldiers didn't care about this little bit, staring at the good wine and food on the table.

Not to mention, there are really a lot of people...... Basically, the figures with heads and faces in Wujun Mansion are here, several representatives of the martial arts hall, the shopkeepers of the five major chambers of commerce, and four of them have a slight sadness, thinking that the death of a few martial artists who can impact the unity realm in the future still causes them a certain amount of trouble.

However, the shopkeeper Wu of the Fortune Chamber of Commerce (that is, the warrior who was rescued by Li Zhao) took advantage of the fact that the people were not yet together, and hurriedly came to the two of them with a wine jug to thank them: "This time I really want to thank Zhao Ye and the general, otherwise I really can't explain to the master behind me, not to mention anything else, if there is my old Wu who can help in the future, just say it!"

After a few polite words, Shopkeeper Wu sat back at his desk.

That's when it happened.

"Lord Fuzun has arrived!"

I saw Zhang Xianzong, who was dressed in a white Confucian robe, and walked in first, and everyone hurriedly got up and said, "See Zhang Fuzun." ”

"Sit, sit, sit. ”

Zhang Xianzong smiled and shook his hands to let everyone sit down, and an official next to him picked up the wine jug, poured a full wine glass and respectfully handed it to Zhang Fuzun, he reached out to take it, straightened his waist, and his voice was quite magnetic: "Today is the annual Lantern Festival, and I would like to thank you for your funding so that the people can spend this grand festival so lively." ”

As soon as these words came out, many people were ready to stand up with wine glasses in their hands, politely speaking, such as, "This is what we should do." "Brush up on the favorability in front of Lord Fuzun, but unexpectedly, people changed their words:

"But this time...... I would also like to give special thanks to Li Shengyuan, Li Zhaogongzi, who not only made a big contribution to this lantern festival, but also contributed people, and even provided free food for several streets in the west of the city, which helped the government a great favor!"

Zhang Xianzong looked at Li Zhao, his slender eyes narrowed together like a fox, and said, "Let's pay tribute to Prince Zhao." ”

"Respect for the prince!"

On the sixth floor, everyone at the wine table got up to toast, looking at this Li Zhao Gongzi with complicated eyes.

Which of the characters who can come here is not a human spirit, Zhang Fuzun deliberately emphasized the identity of the human being and downplayed the identity of the boss of the reckless gang, how many layers of subtext are there, it is complicated, it is estimated that it is enough for them to figure it out.

On the other hand, these old fritters really have to admire Li Zhao's willingness, you must know that a series of expenses for the Lantern Festival are not borne by the government, they all rely on their voluntary contributions, so naturally there are more or less, so that the Lord Fuzun can deliberately mention it, and the silver taels are estimated to be not a few.

"Come on...... Let's eat, or the dishes will be cold. After speaking, Zhang Xianzong beckoned to Li Xian and called affectionately: "Xiao Xian come here." “

Then he went straight to the "balcony" position.

This scene was seen by many well-intentioned people, and they quietly looked at Li Zhao, who was on the wine table, and hurriedly got up and said a few polite words, leaving a look.

It can only be said that when a person holds power to a certain position, his every move will be pondered and thought by countless people, and even if what he says has no special intention, it will be exaggerated and understood.

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, whispered to Li Zhao, and then got up directly and walked towards Zhang Xianzong.

Outside the wooden fence, the night view of Wujun is unobstructed, although it is not as prosperous as the modern metropolis, but it also has a unique flavor, thousands of lights light up a city, noisy human voices faintly in the ears, the prosperity of the commercial town is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"For the matter of Yanmen Village, I have to thank General Li again. ”

Zhang Xianzong leaned on the side of the wooden railing, the cold wind blew his pale temples, and the tone and demeanor of the whole person were as amiable as an uncle next door, but it was a little different from Li Xian's impression of the majesty brought by the vermilion official robe.

"Lord Fuzun is polite, Miss Wang and I are also old acquaintances, and if we can help, the last general will definitely help. Li Xian said respectfully.

"Hahaha...... You, you. Zhang Fuzun smiled, stretched out his hand and nodded at Li Xian, but said in an appreciative tone: "Jing Xiao Shenwei, you can go further, in half a year, even with your master's help, it is not for nothing that you can be appreciated and promoted by Cui Sheng in the Shanzi camp."

"But this time, you can rest assured...... I don't mean anything else, the little kite mentioned you to me, this little girl is also what I watched grow up, thank you sincerely, I didn't talk to you blindly. ”

Li Xian looked at the seriousness in Zhang Xianzong's eyes, and immediately a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Lord Zhang...... What the last general said is not polite to you, but from the bottom of his heart. ”

"Li Zhao, I admire his talent and bearing...... I'm going to take him as a disciple. Zhang Xianzong came out coldly.

Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and immediately bent down very respectfully when he came back to his senses, and said solemnly: "Then I, who is an elder brother, I will thank Master Zhang for Xiao Zhao for his appreciation here." “

Zhang Xianzong helped Li Xian up, then put his hands behind his back, looked at Wu Jun's good scenery, and said softly: "Li Zhao is very smart and cunning, I have met him a few times, I know how to advance and retreat, and I have the city government in my heart...... Truth be told, his pattern could be a little bigger.

"Such a good seedling is rare, and the mind of accepting him as an apprentice is not a day or two, to be honest, compared to you...... I would like to see how high he can grow in the future. ”

Li Xian did not give up his hand this time, but walked shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Fuzun, and said in an extremely confident tone: "Xiao Zhao will not let Master Zhang down."

"That's right...... Everything is fine on Zhou Feng's side, please rest assured. ”

Yes, about Zhou Feng's identity, Li Xian learned from Li Zhao a few days ago, and this kind of thing can't be hidden from someone with a heart. To be honest, even he didn't expect that the county lord who took office in Guyuan County would actually be a small chief under his hands.

Hearing this, Zhang Xianzong turned his head to look at Li Xian fixedly, chuckled, patted Li Xian's shoulder, and walked straight back.

Li Xian turned his head to look at Wujun's night scene, the corners of his mouth outlined a shallow smile, and the colorful lights were reflected in his pupils.

"It seems...... Master Zhang still cares about Zhou Feng very much. ”

Zhang Xianzong accepted Zhou Feng's disciple in his life, such as a master and a father, no one knows the feelings of this relationship better than him, he understands it!

Half an hour later.

After Zhang Xianzong left, Li Xian took Li Zhao and Xiao Liuzi and others to leave quietly, he didn't forget today's Lantern Festival, and he wanted to have a good time with the dog.

What a day!
