It turned out that this middle-aged man was Li Biao after the disguise.

Eight years ago, when Liu Hong and Li Biao first stepped into Jiangzhou City, Liu Hong changed his appearance to Chen Guangrui and was able to hide from the world and become a state official. After Li Biao fled from the Thorn History Mansion, he was not in a hurry to leave Jiangzhou City, but went straight to the noisy and lively old streets of Jiangzhou City, and found the former master of disguise. After some busy work, the disguiser quickly changed Li Biao's appearance.

Li Biao took the bronze mirror and carefully looked at the person in the mirror, and saw that his eyebrows were raised, his beard was thick, his chin was plump, and his skin had become much whiter than before. Looking at the unfamiliar self in the mirror, Li Biao felt that even he was unrecognizable, and he was very satisfied with the disguise effect, so he handed over the silver and left.

After changing his appearance, Li Biao swaggered and followed the flow of people out of the city to the city gate, successfully passed the careful examination of the city gate guards, and left Jiangzhou City safely.

At this time, Li Biao was already like an arrow, hired a horse on the way, stayed overnight along the way, and went straight to the capital Chang'an.

Three days later, Li Biao finally arrived in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The tall city gate tower is in front of him, looking at the majestic and majestic Vermilion Bird Gate, listening to the familiar and bold Guanzhong Qin dialect, and feeling the mountains and rivers of the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, Li Biao suddenly burst into tears, and his heart was extremely excited for a while.

Think about the mistake of Liu Hong to Jiangzhou, count the days, so far it has been eight years since he left his hometown Chang'an, in the past eight years, Liu Hong has not allowed himself to go back to Chang'an's home to save relatives, in the past eight years, Li Biao has never been to visit his mother at home, his father died early, I don't know how the old lady is living alone?

Thinking of this, Li Biao identified the way home, and galloped home with a whip.

After an hour's work, Li Biao came to the front of the house, saw that the firewood door was closed, and the front door was deserted, so he jumped off the horse, tied the horse to the tree at the door of the house, stepped forward and knocked on the door of his house, knocked for a long time, and then heard a hoarse, old voice coming from the crack in the door: "Who is it?"

Hearing this hoarse and familiar voice, Li Biao's heart suddenly "pounded" and jumped, full of excitement, looking forward to opening the door and seeing the old lady immediately.

With a squeak, the door opened, and an old woman came into view, dressed in coarse cloth, with a blue cloth apron, and dusty round cloth shoes. The wind and frost of the years have made wrinkles all over her face, the silver hair fluttering in the wind is eye-catching, the old woman came to Li Biao tremblingly with a crutch, looked at it again and again with a pair of eyes that were already cloudy, and asked, "Who are you?"

Li Biao was full of tears, immediately lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed!

"Mother, I am the unfilial son Li Biao. ”

"My son Li Biao?" the old woman approached and looked at her cloudy eyes again, and said to herself: "No, my son is not like this, you are not my son! As he spoke, he shook his head frequently and stomped heavily on the ground with his crutches.

"Mother, I'm really your son Li Biao!" Li Biao knelt on the ground and hurriedly argued in a panic.

The old woman didn't look like a fake when she looked at his anxious expression, and looked at his figure and listened to his voice, but it was very similar to her son Li Biao. So, the old man waved at him with a wrinkled, trembling hand, and motioned for Li Biao to come closer.

"Untie your clothes and I'll see," a trembling finger pointed at Li Biao's chest, and the old woman said in a trembling voice of command.

Li Biao unbuttoned his shirt as he said, revealing his bare upper body, and there was a finger-sized sarcoma on his chest.

The old woman was holding a crutch in one hand, and trembling in the other hand to Li Biao's chest, and when her trembling hand touched the finger-sized sarcoma, she couldn't help but cry with her old tears, hiding her face and crying!

"My son, it's really my son Li Biao!" "It's really my son Li Biao!".

I cried for a moment, thought about my unwillingness, and raised the crutch in my hand again.

"Eight years, eight years! I'll beat you as an unfilial son!" he said, trembling and striking, he hit Li Biao with a crutch!

"My son is not filial, my son should die! Mother, you have made your old man suffer all these years. Li Biao's face was full of tears, he didn't hide or let go, and he suffered a few sticks from his mother.

Seeing that her son didn't dodge, and was beaten with a few crutches, Mother Li suddenly felt distressed as if she had hit herself, and hurriedly leaned over to help her son.

Li Biao stood up, supported the trembling old lady with both hands, helped the old lady up, the mother and son looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and immediately hugged their heads and cried!

After crying for a while, Li Biao wiped away his tears, plugged in the deadbolt of the door, and helped the old mother to walk into the house.

Entering the house, Li Biao saw that the house was dark and damp, everything was still the way it was, and the furnishings in the home were very old and ancient.

Li Biao helped the old lady to sit on a dilapidated low stool, and said with some joy: "Mother, do you know? Although my son has been wandering outside in the past few years, he has also earned some silver taels. ”

It turned out that after Li Biao and Liu Hong conspired to commit that great murder, they robbed 500 taels of gold, and Li Biao got 100 taels of gold. Over the years, in addition to Li Biao's squandering and daily use, there are still sixty taels of gold left, Li Biao thinks it is inconvenient to carry, and he went to the money bank to exchange it for six hundred taels of silver tickets, which are always kept in his underwear. The current Li Biao is not bad for money, so he said this big thing in front of his wife.

Mother Li stroked her son's face with both hands, stared at Li Biao kindly, and smiled: "Son, your mother is not going anywhere, as long as you live well, you will ask for a daughter-in-law in the future, and I will rest assured that your mother and I will be relieved." ”

While he was talking, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves and a chaotic neighing sound outside the door, and the front of the Li family, which had always been deserted, suddenly became extremely noisy, and it seemed that many people rode horses to the door of Li's house, and in the house, Li Biao's face suddenly became ugly.

"Open the door! Open the door!" Someone was knocking on the door in a hurry, and the knock was like a sound.

"Knock! knock! knock!" The people outside the door knocked on the door at the end, and it almost turned into slamming the door, and every sound kept exploding in Li Biao's ears like a giant drum.

Mother Li trembled to the front and removed the deadbolt and opened the door.

"Dead old woman, why didn't you open the door after knocking for so long, huh?!" The leader was tall, strong and powerful, and seemed to be from the army, and the moment he entered the door, he slammed Mother Li away, Mother Li couldn't withstand such force, and was immediately pushed down on the dust, and a stick also fell to the side.

Li Biao in the house saw his elderly and frail mother being pushed to the ground, his eyes were red, and he was about to have a seizure, but then he thought that he was being wanted by Liu Hong, and this was not the time to have a seizure, so he swallowed the anger in his heart again.

"Dead old woman, what a good thing your son has done! I am here to search for your son Li Biao on the order of Lord Shi. ”

"Say, where is Li Biao?" the leader sent a man with a fierce and vicious look.

"Are you asking my son Li Biao?" asked Li's mother.

"Exactly. Tell me, where is your son Li Biao now?" The leader pointed at Li's mother with a horsewhip, looking very arrogant.
