Chapter 24: Returning the Favor
Li He, who didn't want to meddle in things, suddenly felt a pang in his heart. The Wenchang patrol envoy who was fighting in the sky had a great relationship with Han Yue. If something happens to him, Han Yu in the world will also be in great trouble.
Thinking of this, Li He did not hesitate any longer, his eyes were focused, and two brilliant colorful lights shot out of his eyes towards the dark clouds in the sky. Seeing that Guanghua seemed to open a passage in the dark clouds, the white clouds quickly flew out along the passage opened by Guanghua.
The dark clouds rolled in the air for a long time, and they never came close to the colorful brilliance. If you are a little too close, you will be dispersed by the colorful brilliance. The dark clouds swirled in the air for a moment before disappearing into the sky. The darkness that shrouded the night sky was gone, and the sky suddenly brightened.
Li He saw the white clouds flying towards him, retracted the colorful brilliance, and walked to the depths of the dense forest.
As soon as he stood still under a pine tree, he heard someone behind him say gratefully: "Thank you Shangxian for helping, Wenchang is grateful." ”
Li He looked back and saw a person standing behind him who looked eight points similar to Han Yu. It's just not as dusty as Han Yu. And he looks much younger, with a sassy green shirt and a fairy aura all over his body.
Li He smiled lightly: "You don't have to be grateful. I have some relationship with Han Yu, the distraction of you, and I help you out to take care of Han Yu's safety in the world. It's not for you to meddle in the affairs of immortals and demons. It's just, how did you get entangled with the Nine Demons?"
The Wenchang Patrol Envoy smiled bitterly and said: "The spring period in the world is approaching, and I will go to the lower realm to check the conduct of the scholars who go to the test. Unfortunately, when he was on the path to the pond, he was met by the Demon of the Nine Shadows. As soon as the two sides disagreed, they started to move. ”
Li He's eyebrows raised slightly, and a ray of divine light burst out of the corners of his eyes. The faint mockery made the Wenchang patrol uneasy.
Do you want your Wenchang envoy to personally check the conduct of the scholar? I'm afraid there is something else going on!
Li He suddenly sneered: "When did Inspector Wenchang learn to lie?
The Wenchang patrol envoy hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Shangxian Mingjian, Wenchang really doesn't know the specific inside story. It's just doing what it's told. ”
Li He was noncommittal, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and he could see through the Wenchang patrol envoy inside and out.
Under his perceptive gaze, the Wenchang Patrol only felt that his intestines had been seen clearly by Li He, as if he was naked.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, he gritted his teeth and said: "The heavens don't know anything about your origin, and I have checked Zhou Tian's immortal position, but I haven't found any clues." It is because I suspect that you are the place of the Nine Shadows. Seeing that you get along well with Han Yu, the special immortal is invited to tempt you by the demons of the Nine Shadows. ”
As he spoke, he wiped the sweat on his face with the sleeves of his robe, and said with relief: "The fact that the immortal can save the little immortal is enough to explain everything." Wen Chang was very relieved. Presumably, Your Majesty will no longer trace your origins. ”
Li He said gloomily: "What you don't comfort in your heart has nothing to do with me." Didn't you think that you attracted the demons of the Nine Shadows and turned the finger at me, didn't you cause me trouble? Although I am not afraid, I also look down on your behavior. It's really in vain. ”
Cold sweat trickled down the forehead of the Wenchang Patrol. He was just acting on orders, and as for what the consequences were, it was really not something that he, a little fairy, could consider. But how can it be that the result is really because of him?
The Wenchang patrol envoy was so sad that he didn't say anything for a long time. Li He looked at the carriage in the distance and suddenly smiled.
Slowed down his face and said: "It is an indisputable fact that you owe me a favor. How about I give you a chance to return the favor?"
The Wenchang patrol envoy was busy and praised again and again.
Li He said with a smile: "My friend Shen Yazhi, it is a foregone conclusion that this imperial examination will not be the first. I want you to change his life and give him the title of this gold list. It shouldn't be difficult for you Wenchang Patrol Envoy!"
This is the terms of reference of the Wenchang Inspectorate, and it is a piece of cake to change the imperial examination and the first list.
The Wenchang Patrol Envoy looked at Li He in disbelief, and promised again and again. I heard that he wasn't that good at talking. Sure enough, Li He's voice became cold again. Patrol Envoy Wenchang felt a chill in his heart and listened attentively.
"You go back and tell the Jade Emperor. I'm just coming to the mortal world to train and sharpen my mind. It doesn't hinder you in the slightest, and it has nothing to do with the Three Realms. I hope you will not interfere in my affairs and let me do as I please. When the deadline is over, I will go back to where I went. There you go!"
The Wenchang patrol envoy bowed and said yes, and after bowing his hand to Li He, he drove away on the auspicious clouds.
Li He walked slowly back to the carriage and sat by the fire and pondered for a while. He stood up and faced the carriage and the horses, and crossed them all with colorful brilliance before he was relieved.
Shen Yazhi seemed to hear movement outside in the car, and whispered tentatively: "Changji, is it you?"
Li He smiled: "It's me, it's convenient to go." Now that the weather is clear, you can sleep in peace!"
"You're not going to sleep in the car?"
When Shen Yazhi heard that the sky was clear, he immediately became happy. Lifted the curtain and poked his head out. Seeing Li He sitting by the fire to add firewood, his face was quite worried. hurriedly climbed out of the car and took a cotton robe for Li He. After draping Li He, he tightened his robe and sat down beside Li He to roast the fire.
Shen Yazhi's inadvertent behavior inexplicably brought warmth to Li He in the cold night. Immediately relieved the guilt of coercing the Wenchang patrol envoy. Although Shen Yazhi is old-fashioned, he really cares about him Li He. It is also reasonable to do something against his will for him. Won't people just know about Entu?
"I seem to hear you talking to people faintly. Changji, do you have something to hide from your foolish brother?"
Although Nagayoshi is still talented, his behavior is completely like a different person. And the ability is suddenly surprisingly great. Shen Yazhi decided to take advantage of the dead of night to talk to Li Heshen once.
Li He glanced at Shen Yayi and said with a smile: "Changji is grateful to Brother Shen for taking care of him, and he prayed for you at the right time." I wish you the title of the gold list of this imperial examination. Just talking to yourself. ”
"Changji is coaxing the foolish brother, right? I obviously heard the two of them talking. Although I didn't hear what was being said, it was certainly not a person who spoke. Shen Yazhi didn't believe it at all, and looked at Li He with a suspicious face.
Li He held Shen Yazhi's hand and said sincerely: "Really, the little brother didn't lie to you." Changji is indeed praying for the blessing of the lower brother in the imperial examination. And I have already expressed the will of heaven, I think you should have achieved something in this imperial examination. ”
Seeing that the doubts in Shen Yazhi's eyes did not go away, Li He no longer dwelled on this topic and asked: "After Brother Shen joined the office, does he have a position in his heart?
Speaking of this, Shen Yazhi immediately came to his senses.
Throwing away the doubts in his heart, he said impassionedly: "How can we forget our ambitions in order to be promoted and make a fortune? Not to mention helping the world, at least we must benefit the people." What the sages said, Changji can't forget?"
Li He stared at Shen Yazhi for a long time, and gradually smiled with anticipation.
Li He looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky, and said with infinite amazement: "Changji is not as ambitious as Brother Xian. I just want to comprehend the truth of being a human being in the red dust, and get the joy of life in educating the disciples. Imperial politics is not what Changji wants. It can help the people improve the way of survival and progress, which is Changji's current wish. Otherwise, look no further. ”
Shen Yazhi thought for a moment and exclaimed: "I can't imagine that Changji's ambition is more generous than that of the foolish brother. The foolish brother is still trying to force you to enter the office, but his vision is narrow. Xia Xian was ashamed. ”
The two talked freely for about an hour, and Li He saw that there were many shadows around him, and Shen Yazhi yawned again and again. He strongly persuaded Shen Ya to get in the car and sleep, and sleep by the fire.
This night, Li He felt the gloomy pressure around him, but the pressure never took a step forward. It seems that someone has been watching from a distance. Although there was no specific action to disturb it, it also made the people who were being watched uneasy. Although Li He fell asleep on the fire this night, he always watched out for the movements around him, and raised his five-pole body protection true qi to within a radius of three zhang before he could sleep peacefully.
Falling asleep in this environment, Li He was still in his dreams, and he harvested many methods such as the land shrinking method and the transfer of ideas in the immortal word gate. Wake up in the morning feeling refreshed.
Wait for Changgui to take the pot and boil water, and everyone will finish washing. The five of them ate some dry food with boiling water. Pack your bags, put on the reins, and hit the road.
Shen Yazhi saw that Li He was in good spirits, and he was no longer worried about last night, but he was also happy in his heart. When he was interested, he squeezed Lu Hualong out of the crowd and sat down beside Li He.
In this way, two scholars dressed in scholar's robes sat on the chariot and shouted all the way to beat Maxi. It is quite a sideways glance of passers-by.
However, it was said that Han Yu had been in the morning and had just finished dealing with a few official affairs, and he heard the chief follower report that the Duke of Jin Guo had visited. Han Yu hurriedly put aside his official business and welcomed the guests to the inner hall of the yamen.
After the official went to tea, Pei Du looked around. Han Yu understood, and hurriedly asked the servants to withdraw from the inner hall.
Shen groaned: "Pei Gong, you are here for Li Changji's business, right?"
Pei Du nodded and smiled: "I don't know if you have talked to Li Changji?" The old man wanted to go to the house to inquire last night, for fear of disturbing your rest, so he endured it all night. I couldn't help but come over this morning and ask. ”
Han Yu was embarrassed: "I asked Changji to come to my house the night before, and I mentioned this matter a little in my words, but before I could say it thoroughly, Changji blocked it with words." ”
Then he repeated Li He's words. The most sighed: "Changji has a very good idea, he said that he would not consider continuing the string in three years, it is not a lie." Pei Gong should find another son-in-law!"
Pei Du said with a smile: "Just because Changji has this idea doesn't mean that his family thinks the same way. Why not write a letter and mention it to his mother. ”
Han Yu glanced at Pei Du deeply, and said solemnly: "That being the case, there is something I have to say to Pei Gong. Nagayoshi has no intention of this spring. went to Chang'an, not for the imperial examination. Mao Xiao didn't dare to hide it from me yesterday, so he put it all together. In the future, Li He may be an ordinary scholar, and his family is poor. Do you want such a grandson-in-law too?"
Pei Du sighed and said: "If he really has no intention of pursuing a career, according to the past, the old man will give up." But now it's different, and this family business is actually stained with fate. It has to be him Li Changji. ”
How does this say, how can it be related to fate! Han Yue was very surprised, and he was busy asking what was going on.
Pei Du brought his granddaughter's retrospective edge together, but Han Yue was furious: "How can you believe the monk's words? Pei Gong, you are also fighting in the rain of swords and arrows, how can you believe these illusory words?"
