The next day, Han Baohu summoned Li Jing to meet him.

After meeting and greeting, Li Jing said, "I don't know what my uncle is calling?"

Han Baohu's face was full of spring breeze, and he seemed to be in a very good mood, and smiled at Li Jing: "Jing'er, at the banquet yesterday, Lord Yang Su quietly told me the news that His Majesty will appoint me as the governor of Luzhou in the near future. ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "In this way, I want to congratulate my uncle on his promotion." Moreover, Luzhou is located in a key area, and His Majesty will arrange you, a general, there, I am afraid that it will not be against the Chen clan in the south of the Yangtze River. With your ability, uncle, you will be able to establish miraculous feats in the field, and it will be no problem to be a marquis and worship the prime minister in the future. ”

Han Baohu knew that although this ten-year-old nephew did not show his dew on weekdays, he had his own splendid fortune in his chest, so he was not surprised that he was able to break the matter of the southern expedition that was still secretly planned by the DPRK and China, and said: "Since ancient times, the feudal marquis is only taken on the horse, and a good man should be on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, this time I want to take your cousin to experience in the army." Uncle knows that although you are young, your martial arts are far above your cousin, so he wants to take you with him, I wonder if you are willing?"

Li Jing groaned slightly, and bowed his hand to Han Baohu: "Uncle is wrong in love, he shouldn't have shirked." But I'm at the threshold I'm breaking through right now, and it's really hard to be distracted. I'm still young, and I still have opportunities in the future. ”

Han Baohu is also a person who practices martial arts, and he knew that what Li Jing said was true, so he no longer insisted on it, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, you will stay in the mansion to practice martial arts, and by the way, help your uncle watch this family business." Having said that, if our family can produce a martial arts genius who has reached the realm of Qi Attraction in his teens, it will be even more glorious than making meritorious contributions on the battlefield!"

Li Jing hesitated and said, "I have something to do with my uncle, and I have been raised by my uncle all these years. The nephew is grateful. Now that my uncle and cousin are going to Luzhou, my aunt must also go to work with my uncle. It's not interesting for the nephew to stay in this house alone. I haven't been back to the old house in Sanyuan for several years, and I want to take this opportunity to move there for a few days. I also ask my uncle for permission. ”

Han Baohu has a rough appearance, but his mind is quite detailed, and in a blink of an eye, he understands that this little nephew does not want to stay in charge of the Han Mansion as a person with a foreign surname, so as not to attract gossip.

"It's rare that he is so knowledgeable in terms of human feelings at such a young age. I, as an uncle, should fulfill his thoughts. ”

Han Baohu turned these thoughts in his heart, and made a decision in an instant: "Okay, you have been away from home for many years, and you should go back to have a look." But let you go back alone, but my uncle can't rest assured...... National loyalty, national bravery!"

With Han Baohu's call. Two middle-aged men in their thirties walked in from outside the door. Both of them were in strong shape and had cold eyes, but the most conspicuous one was a lame right arm and a limp left foot. After they entered the door, they saluted Han Baohu together: "I have seen the master of the family." I don't know if the master of the house summoned the villain, etc., and wanted to call it. ”

Han Baohu said: "Young Master Cousin wants to go back to the old mansion of Sanyuan to live for a while, I am a little relieved, the two of you go to order twenty capable family members, go back with him, and you will all stay with Young Master Cousin in the future and wait for the dispatch." ”

There was no sign of surprise on their faces. He bowed down and said yes, then turned around and went out to pick someone.

"Uncle......" Li Jing was greatly moved. These two people, named Han Zhong and Han Yong, were originally Han Baohu's personal soldiers in the army, and they fought in the north with Han Baohu. I don't know how many times I have been in and out of the sea of corpses and blood. Later, the two were seriously injured and disabled on the battlefield, so Han Baohu cancelled their military registration and let them change their names and surnames to stay by their side as two long-term followers. and taught the two Han family part of the family martial arts, so that they all had the martial arts cultivation of the realm of Qi. Han Baohu was willing to transfer these two people to his own use. A fist of the heart goes without saying.

Han Baohu habitually waved his big hand and said: "Don't say these long-winded polite words in the family, there are Guozhong and Guoyong following you." Even if I am far away in Luzhou in the future, I can rest assured. And remember that if there is any difficulty, you must send someone to Luzhou to deliver a letter to your uncle......"

Li Jing finally didn't say words of gratitude, just as Han Baohu said, since they are a family, they will see the outside world when they say this.

A few days later, the imperial court issued a decree and granted Han Baohu the governor of Luzhou, and he took office on the same day. Han Baohu made a little arrangement for the family, and then took his wife and children and a team of personal soldiers. Li Jing first bid farewell to Han Baohu's family, and the next day he took Han Zhong and Han Yong, who were carefully selected by them, to leave Daxingjing and go to Sanyuan County, Jingzhao County.

There was nothing to say all the way, and it was not a day to arrive at the old house left by the Li family ancestor and located more than ten miles north of Sanyuan. Li Jing is a prominent family in Sanyuan County, Li Jing's grandfather and father were both officials, and his mother was also from a wealthy family like the Han family, and her family background is very wealthy. This house covers an area of more than 20 acres, there are garden pavilions in it, pavilions and pavilions are scattered, strange flowers and stones are arranged in a law, quite exquisite and elegant.

When the group came to the door, Li Jing asked a family member to come forward and open the door, and reported that the young master had returned home.

Immediately, I heard a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the Li Mansion, and after a while, more than 30 male and female servants and maidservants from all over the mansion greeted the door under the leadership of Li Quan, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, and saluted together in front of Li Jing.

Li Jing waved his hand and ordered everyone to be exempted, and after a few words of comfort, he entered with everyone.

When he arrived at the top of the hall, Li Jing naturally sat down on the main seat, first called Li Quan to come forward, ordered him to arrange for more than 20 people to prepare houses for him to live in, and ordered a banquet to be set up tonight, saying that he as the master should entertain everyone in the mansion.

Li Quan respectfully received the order and led Han Zhong and Han Yong out to arrange these affairs, leaving only two maids to wait for the young master in the hall at any time.

Li Jing took the teacup from a maid, took a sip of the freshly brewed tea in the cup, and looked around at the inside and outside of the hall - from today on, he is the veritable owner of this mansion.

This time, the process of Li Jing returning home to take over the family business was quite smooth, and the vulgar episodes of "slaves bullying the master" and "doves occupying the magpie's nest" that circulated on the streets of the market were not staged in the Li family. In fact, this is a normal thing, not to mention that the Li family itself is a big clan in Sanyuan County, although Li Jing's parents died, there are still uncles and elders of the same clan, but there is still Li Jing's uncle, Han Baohu, a famous and powerful general of the Great Sui who is deeply trusted today, is enough to make everyone dare not raise the slightest bad thought.

It is also out of trust in himself and the power behind him, Li Jing did not do anything after he became a son of heaven and a courtier, except for the more than 20 people he brought to make some arrangements, the original people in the mansion are still performing their own duties, what to do or what to do.

On this day, Li Jing was practicing martial arts on the newly opened martial arts training ground in the back garden, and the housekeeper Li Quan came in to report: "Young master, there are a few guests outside who are similar to each other, saying that they are your friends, young master. (To be continued......)

PS: Li Jing in history has several brothers, so I won't mention them in this book.
