Chapter 209: Reaction
The sky was just dawning, and the spring fog was misty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lijia Town, Tianhuo Prefecture, was shattered by a crisp sound of horses' hooves.
The children of the Li family, who were on duty at the gate of the town, were in a hazy sleep, and before they had time to wake up, they heard a light shout: "Open the town gate quickly!"
The children of the Li family, who had been disturbed by their dreams, were about to have a seizure, but they saw Li Qiqi riding a cyan horse and sprinting over, followed by a ********* eldest prince...... Elder Taishang!"
The Li disciple on duty was taken aback suddenly, and immediately hurriedly took a step back so that he was not hit by Li Qiqi's horse.
He didn't expect that the eldest prince and Elder Xue Ning would come back, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
"Wow!"
Li Qiqi and Xue Ning pulled the reins back hard, and then the galloping horse stopped, and the huge inertia caused the horse's two front hooves to rise upward, letting out a painful neigh.
"What are you still doing in a daze, don't you open the rejection horse quickly!"
Li Jieqi was angry and immediately scolded.
"The little one doesn't know that the eldest prince and the elder Taishang have returned to the house, and they have missed the distance, so please forgive me!"
At this time, the Li disciple came back to his senses, quickly knelt down to pay respects, and quickly got up to move the rejection horse at the gate of the town.
Li Qiqi and Xue Ning didn't say a word, urged the horses, and quickly jumped into the town, heading towards Li's mansion.
Since Lin Zhenyun ascended the throne, according to Li Dao's opinion, the worship hall was revoked, and the innate masters from all over the country were repatriated, so Xue Ning did not have to serve in the capital, so she returned with Li Qiqi, and the stars traveled at night, running for five days, and now rushed back.
They have a big thing to report to the Li Mansion to know, so that they can make arrangements, Li Dao was made a national teacher The matter is too terrifying, the Li Mansion has offended him too deeply before, if it is not good to deal with it, I am afraid that it will be in ruins in an instant.
With the power that Li Dao currently holds, as long as he shows a little bit of meaning, there will be countless imperial army troops who will come to encircle and suppress the Li Mansion, so he does not dare to be careless, and must make a countermeasure as soon as possible.
An hour later, all the elders of the Li Mansion gathered in the conference hall.
Great Elder Li Lihai asked Xue Ning suspiciously, "Elder Taishang is not in the worship hall in the capital, why did he suddenly take Li Qiqi back to the house, is something wrong?"
Since Xue Ning woke up, because of her high seniority and cultivation to break through the innate nature, she was regarded as the Supreme Elder and the highest speaker of the Li Mansion, but because she was unwilling to take care of mundane affairs, most of the affairs were still managed by Li Lihai.
However, her identity is transcendent, and she is the most special existence in the Li Mansion, so her return has attracted the attention of the Li Mansion, and it is only so soon that all the elders have gathered here.
Xue Ning nodded with a solemn face, and said: "Presumably, the news has not yet come back, the new emperor ascended the throne, revoked the worship hall, and established the Ziyang Sect, so all of us and other innate martial artists have been repatriated, and we don't have to serve in the capital in the future." This is all secondary, the important thing is that Li Dao has become the national teacher of the Snow Moon Empire, the sect master of the Ziyang Sect, and the power is all over the world, this is the reason why I rushed back!"
"What!"
As soon as this remark came out, it suddenly shook the earth, and this news was really amazing.
All the elders, including the head of the family, Li He, all had an incredible look on their faces.
"Li Dao, this son has become the national teacher of the dynasty, Elder Taishang, are you sure that is the son of my Li Mansion?"
Li Lihai asked with some suspicion.
"That's right, it's him. That day, I went to the Wild Wolf Gang to ask for Li Qiqi, and I met with him, at that time he was with Lin Zhenyun, it seemed that he was plotting something, and he also killed the deputy gang leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, Wang Junyi, etc., I wanted to capture him and come back to confess, but this son is strong, I am not sure, so I will give up, and then the army will besiege the city......"
Xue Ning told in detail the scene of her encounter with Li Dao in the capital, and told all the things about the mutiny in the capital, Lin Zhenyun's accession to the throne in Fengtianmen, and Li Dao's appointment as a national teacher.
In other words, in the near future, this holy decree will spread all over the world, and Elder Taishang's words seem to be true...... I really didn't expect this son to be in such a high position, it's really unexpected!"
Li Lihai sighed, his eyes showing a glint of admiration.
"Great Elder, this matter should be handled like this by my Li Mansion, this son has suffered a lot in the Li Mansion since he was a child, watching his progress, I think he has little kindness to the Li Mansion, if he intends to retaliate, my Li Mansion can't bear it, this is much greater than the previous threat of Lei Hengzhuang!"
Second Elder Li Jing said anxiously.
In fact, his thoughts were the same as those of most elders, Li Dao's previous experience in the Li Mansion was well known, and Madam Qin also killed his mother and his maid, this hatred was not shared, so he completely turned against the Li Mansion a year ago, and in terms of this ruthless personality, Li Jing's worries were very reasonable.
"Li He, Li Dao is your son, what do you think, you might as well talk about it!"
Li Lihai ignored Li Jing's words, but suddenly asked Li He.
"I ...... What do I have to say, this rebel is bold, and he is against the Li Mansion, and he ...... his wife."
"Ahem!"
Li Lihai coughed.
Li He came to his senses at this time, he almost leaked his mouth just now, Mrs. Qin was captured by Li Dao, Li Jiuqi still doesn't know, this is a deliberate concealment by everyone, afraid that he will insist on finding Li Dao to take revenge after he knows, which is not good for him, so he kept him in the dark, and even Xue Ning didn't tell him about it along the way.
"This son is a wolf and ambitious, although I am his father, I guess he won't recognize me, there is nothing I can do!"
Li He shook his head and said with a somewhat depressed face.
A son who doesn't listen to Lao Tzu is simply a shame for him.
But the reality is that he can't do anything, and there is no way to deal with that rebel and straighten the family style.
"After all, he is also your son, Li Dao was named a national teacher, although this matter is dangerous for my Li Mansion, but it is also an opportunity, break the bones and connect the tendons, the blood in Li Dao's body is always my Li clan, he can't admit this if he wants to!"
Li Lihai suddenly said confidently.
Everyone was puzzled, but Xue Ning couldn't help but ask, "Li Hai, do you have any ideas?"
"Dig up the body of Li Dao's mother, bury it in the family tomb with lady etiquette, and posthumously recognize her as the mother of the Li Mansion, and then I will go to Jingshi, meet Li Dao, and let him return to his hometown and province!"
Li Lihai said what he thought in his heart.
"This ...... How can it be, there is only one mother in the Li Mansion, her status is extremely noble, that cheap maid is just a Miao girl, how can she enter the family tomb with the dignity of a lady, and she also has to go to meet the rebel, this is ...... No way!"
Li He suddenly blushed like a cockfight, and said angrily.
"Hmph,, you are embarrassed to say it, let me ask you, is the entire Li Mansion powerful or a national teacher of a country? Li He, you are still obsessed, the Li Mansion is only dominating the land of a state, and your son Li Dao is dominating the entire empire, he said a word, my Li Mansion can ascend to the sky in one step, or go to hell in an instant, you must understand this reality! Not to mention that you also know about the Qin Mansion in Tianxing City, I am 100% sure that Li Dao did it, this son is extremely ruthless, if I don't deploy, I will be in danger!"
Li Lihai said unceremoniously.
Li He knew that he was talking about the destruction of Mrs. Qin's mother's house, and he couldn't help but change his face white and red, with a hint of humiliation, and a trace of fear in his heart, and he collapsed on the chair in frustration, not speaking.
"I agree with the Great Elder's plan!"
Second Elder Li Jing nodded.
"Seconded!"
The Eighth Elder also said.
Many elders nodded in agreement with Li Lihai's plan.
"Okay, just do what Li Hai said, and immediately go and rebury the body of Li Dao's mother. It's just the people sent to the capital, what if Li Dao doesn't meet him?"
Xue Ning also agreed with his approach, but still had some questions about meeting Li Dao.
If you don't meet him, continue to visit him until he does, and the old man will personally lead the team to the capital, and he will find a way to tell him about his mother's name, and he doesn't need to forgive, he just needs to acquiesce. In addition, Li Dao was named the national teacher, it is necessary to shape the gold body to receive the incense of the people, all the temples within the scope of Tianhuo Prefecture are funded by my Li Mansion, if this matter is operated well, my Li Mansion will soon become the first family in this Tianhuo Prefecture, hehe, there is a national teacher as a backer, who dares to disobey his fate!"
Li Lihai said with a smile.
However, at this time, Li Xiuqi's face on the side was getting heavier and heavier, Li Dao was originally the concubine in the family, although the two had no intersection, but their identities were like clouds and mud, Li Xiuqi had never put it in his eyes.
It's just that in just one year, Li Dao rebelled out of the Li Mansion and became the national teacher of the dynasty, and he still can't accept this matter, so that's it, it's true, and it can't be done if you don't admit it.
But in the current meeting, in order to curry favor with Li Dao, these elders actually regarded his mother as the main mother, so where will their own mother be placed?
I couldn't help but shout angrily: "No, you will treat that cheap maid as your mother, and I won't agree to where my mother is placed!"
Like an angry lion, Li is defending his interests.
"You don't agree, you come here, I'll talk to you carefully......."
Li Lihai suddenly approached Li Jieqi, and suddenly caught off guard, slashing at his phoenix wing point with a palm, Li Xiuqi snorted and fainted suddenly.
"Come to your ......"
Li He stood up excitedly.
"Mrs. Qin's matter shouldn't be hidden for long, in order to prevent him from making trouble, let's detain him for the time being and enlighten him well. ”
Li Lihai made the final decision.
Xue Ning wanted to say something, but she sighed and closed her eyes.
At this time, there was a house in the Jingshi.
"Madam, there is a happy event, haha!"
Liu Yazi walked in from outside the door with an excited face and said to his wife.
"Who, who is happy to see you, it scares our daughter!"
A young woman, who was holding a one-year-old girl, was humming a song and teasing her, when suddenly her husband walked in and yelled, she couldn't help but be startled, and suddenly rolled her eyes and said.
"Madame, do you remember when we took a merchant ship through the Ghost Gorge and encountered water bandits?"
Liu Yazi suddenly asked.
"Of course I remember, I've had nightmares a lot over the past year, why don't you remember, why are you mentioning this?"
The beautiful woman asked suspiciously.
"Do you remember the immortal who saved us?"
"Why don't you remember, if it weren't for the appearance of that immortal, we and Nan Nan would have met with an accident, there is still an immortal card in this house, I am incense every day, how can I forget...... Why are you crying?"
The beautiful woman said puzzled, she didn't understand why her husband suddenly asked this.
"It's okay, I'm so happy!"
Liu Yazi wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled.
Recalling the danger at the beginning, he still has palpitations.
"You are a little abnormal today, talking nonsense, saying that there are happy events, but you bring up old things, doesn't this make people sad, say something quickly!"
The beautiful woman suddenly said impatiently.
"Madam, today the Qintian Prison is coming to the Hanlin Academy to look for me, and ask me to give the golden body portrait of the national teacher of the dynasty, guess who I saw?"
Liu Yazi said mysteriously.
"What's so strange about this, Husband, it's not surprising that your Danqing Technique Honorary Hanlin Academy, and the Qintian Prison Supervisor is coming to look for your portrait, isn't there anything strange about that national teacher?"
"Today, the emperor talked to the national teacher in the Jinluan Palace, and the Qintian supervisor asked me to observe the appearance of the national teacher in the palace room behind, and let me take the opportunity to draw the blueprint, I still couldn't believe it until I heard the national teacher speak, and I confirmed that this person was the immortal who saved me at the beginning!"
Liu Yazi said excitedly.
"Really, you read that right!"
The beautiful woman asked in surprise, a little incredulous.
"Well, see for yourself!"
Liu Yazi opened the scroll in his hand, Li Dao's appearance was lifelike, and his temperament was indifferent, he was the immortal who rescued them in the Guichou Gorge of the Xiliu River.
"What an immortal, what a real him!"
The beautiful woman burst into tears and was a little excited.
"Husband, since the immortal has become the national teacher of the dynasty, then you have to be closer in the future, you have to paint this portrait, this is our great benefactor!"
The beautiful woman admonished.
"The old man of the national teacher is in a high position and has a lot of opportunities, where will he have time to meet my little Hanlin....... But I will definitely do my best to paint the portrait of my benefactor to the fullest, and this is the only meager reward for my Liu Yazi!"
Liu Yazi first smiled bitterly, and then said with a resolute face.
These two people are the couple who were almost killed by the Water Ghost Gang on the merchant ship in the West River, the man is named Liu Yazi, the beautiful woman is his wife, and the girl in her arms is the baby girl who attracted Li Dao that day.
After being rescued by Li Dao, he was given a bag of gold and silver, so that he was able to re-enter Beijing to catch the exam, and finally lived up to the ten years of hard study in the cold window, the title of the gold list, and now he is an editor of the Hanlin Academy.
Due to the slight official position, after the eldest prince was killed, he was not liquidated by Lin Zhenyun.
Liu Yazi Danqing's attainments are very high, and he is very famous in Hanlin, so he was approached by the Qintian Prison Supervisor today to paint a portrait of Li Dao, but he accidentally discovered that Li Dao was the immortal who saved them in the first place.
After being rescued by Li Dao, the two couples set up a longevity card for Li Dao at home, praying for him every day, especially after the title of the gold list, they didn't want to meet Li Dao all the time, and wanted to repay him, but it was a vast sea of people, where to look for it.
Today, I saw him by chance, and the other party was the national teacher, which really surprised Liu Yazi, and at the same time was extremely excited in his heart, so he couldn't suppress it and rushed back to share the good news with his wife.
For Li Dao, this is just a trivial matter in his life, but for this couple, this is the most unforgettable event in life.
