Chapter 057 Yuanji
Chapter 057 Yuan Ji - Whose disciples and whose yard (2)
Liu Shuyi walked out of the woodshed and saw a bonfire lit in the yard. One of them stood with his hands behind his back. When the man saw Liu Shuyi coming out, he bowed and said, "Young Master Liu, please come here."
Liu Shuyi asked as he walked: "Brother seems familiar, but I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how dare you ask me if you have a great name?"
The man smiled and said, "Young Master Liu has forgotten a lot of things, but in the past, the young master and his master walked side by side, and the young master always guarded the back, so it was difficult to show off with the young master. It was no wonder that the young master didn't remember the young master."
When Liu Shuyi heard him say this, he became even more curious and couldn't help but look carefully. Under the firelight, he saw that the person in front of him was about thirty years old, thin and tall, but had thick eyebrows and big eyes, which looked quite inconsistent.
Suddenly, my thoughts came out: When I was in Taiyuan, it was extremely dangerous outside. Most people refused to let me leave the mansion, but Li Jiancheng did not stop him and even strolled with me. Could it be that the owner he mentioned was Li Jiancheng?
He asked, "Are you from Mr. Li's mansion?"
The man was very happy to see Liu Shuyi seemingly recognize him and said, "The little Li Yi, who was entrusted by his master, came to protect the Fourth Young Master. I feel very honored to see Mr. Liu today."
Liu Shuyi was very fond of him because he recognized him and made a frank comment in front of Li Yuanji. He smiled and said, "Brother Li is too arrogant. We serve the Li family together and should get along with each other. There is no such thing as Mr. Liu here, just call me Shuyi."
Li Yi is open-minded and always cares about the details, so he said, "No wonder the master often praises you, Shu Yi, and looks for you late at night. There is one important thing that needs your help."
When Liu Shuyi saw that he was straightforward, he showed that it was so good. He was not as polite as others. He was so annoyed by all the red tape. He said even more happily, "Brother Li, but it's okay."
Li Yi deliberately concealed the purpose of this trip, but only talked about the dangers he encountered along the way, especially when the guard leader sacrificed his life to save his master, his voice turned low and tears filled his eyes.
After a while, Li Yi continued, "Before leaving, Mr. Tang and the eldest son told him to escort the fourth son back safely. However, today we are full of dangers and we should not be willing to die, but the fourth son's daughter's body cannot be damaged no matter what.
For safety plans, the four of us unanimously advised us, hoping that the fourth son could return home. But the fourth son insisted on refusing to do so. Shuyi, please advise the fourth son for us."
He saw that Li Yuanji was quite unfriendly to Liu Shuyi today, and he thought that after Li Yuanji suffered, he was in a bad mood, so he took his anger on Liu Shuyi. He thought that Shuyi and the eldest son were quite close, and the fourth son and the eldest son were in a deep relationship. Shuyi should be able to say a few words in front of the fourth son.
Liu Shuyi was very funny and thought to himself that I didn't care about Li Yuanji's life or death. Besides, I betrayed him that day, which led to him being severely scolded by Li Yuan. He had long hated me. How could he listen to me? But Li Yi is a loyal and generous person, and he may be able to make friends in the future, so I can't directly reject him.
He said, "Brother Li doesn't know anything. The fourth young master is quite prejudiced to me. It's okay if I don't say it. Once I say it, it's like adding fuel to the fire, and it's even harder to clean up." Then he talked about Li Yuanji teasing Li Shimin's entourage at Duke Tang's mansion that day. As for stealing into the hall, he concealed it.
Li Yi pondered for a while, and after a long time, he said, "The Fourth Young Master has always been incompatible with the Second Young Master, so he probably went for the Second Young Master that day.
The fourth prince has always had a close relationship with the eldest prince. He went to and from the eldest prince's mansion almost every day, and lived with the eldest prince day and night, and was inseparable from the eldest prince. The eldest prince is mostly close to you. Originally, you often met the fourth prince.
However, when the Liu family was imprisoned, the fourth prince made a big mistake and ordered a ban on Duke Tang. Otherwise, Shuyi would definitely become a confidant with the two princes. The fourth prince was just young and energetic, not an unreasonable person.
As for why he is against the second young master everywhere, this matter..."
Speaking of this, I looked at the main hall, but stopped talking.
Liu Shuyi naturally knew that Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji would form an alliance to deal with Li Shimin in the future, but what happened many years later was that before Taiyuan raised troops, Li Yuanji had a deep hatred with Li Shimin.
He was quite curious about this, but since Li Yi didn't say it, he was not easy to ask, and said: "Since Brother Li is asking for it, Shu Yi is willing to try it out, but it is difficult to guarantee whether it is successful or not."
He said beautifully, but he was thinking in his heart: Li Yuanji may not be as good as you said. Of course, my grudge with him is more than that point just now. In short, I will give you a face and persuade Li Yuanji tomorrow, but it will definitely not succeed. At that time, I will not blame me, you owe me a favor.
Li Yi was happy and said, "Thank you so much. Please speak up if you have any useful things in the future."
Liu Shuyi was waiting for this sentence, but he said, "Where did Brother Li say? How can we distinguish between brothers and brothers?"
Li Yi laughed and said yes. Although he was Li Jiancheng's servant, he grew up with Li Jiancheng since childhood and had a close relationship. Li Jiancheng always regarded him as a brother and never treated him as a servant. Therefore, this trip to the West River, he asked him to guard Li Yuanji.
Li Jiancheng said everything to him, often praising Liu Shuyi in his ears, and praised Liu Shuyi as a genius boy who had not seen for many years. After hearing this, he became curious and wanted to see it, but most of the time, he could only look at Liu Shuyi's back from afar, unable to even say a word.
It was unexpected that they met suddenly today. At first, he was respectful to Liu Shuyi because of his master Li Jiancheng. Unexpectedly, he had a long talk tonight and felt like a close friend.
The two chatted for a long time before they went back to their room to rest.
Early the next morning, Liu Shuyi and others got up early. Liu Shuyi asked Sun Qier and others to lead the ox, carriage and horse to the door, and he came to the door of the main hall and knocked on the door lightly.
Li Yi had been waiting by the door for a long time. When he saw that it was Liu Shuyi, he led the other three guards out of the house, leaving Liu Shuyi and Li Yuanji alone.
When Li Yuanji saw Liu Shuyi, he looked angry and said, "Who told you to come in? Get out of here."
Liu Shuyi was not angry and said, "I was entrusted by someone to say a few words to you. The road is dangerous. I advised the young master to go back to Taiyuan first. It is not too late to come again after reorganization. I don't want Mr. Jiancheng to lose a brother and feel heartbroken."
Before he came, although he had no hope of persuading Li Yuanji, he really had a good impression of Li Yi and wanted to be entrusted by his friend. He could not do his best. I did my best. Since Li Yuanji had a close relationship with Li Jiancheng, I would like to bring Li Jiancheng out as a way.
Li Yuanji thought of his elder brother and regretted it. He blamed himself for not obeying his elder brother's instructions, and in an instant he had the idea of returning to Taiyuan. But when he thought of returning to Taiyuan, he would definitely see his second brother Li Shimin. When he thought of his contemptuous and mocking eyes, he was extremely dissatisfied and shouted, "I don't, I won't go back!"
The roar was so loud that Liu Shuyi was shocked.
Li Yi heard the roar outside the house and thought that the two of them were disagreeable. He started to fight and rushed into the house immediately. Seeing him in, Li Yuanji said, "I miss you with kindness and will not pursue it, but I will not take it as an example."
Li Yi said: "Yes!" He retreated with Liu Shuyi.
Li Yuanji is a strong-willed person and has more perseverance and determination than ordinary people. However, he is only a fourteen-year-old boy after all, and has lived a good life since childhood and has no experience in facing major events. At this moment, he is still confused and difficult to resolve:
Now that all the ox, carriage and horses are lost, when will we reach Xicheng by foot alone? If we encounter bandits again on the way, how can we resist? Liu Shuyi's words are correct. Go back to Taiyuan first, regain your momentum, and come back again, which is not timid and afraid.
Then he shook his head desperately, and thought: If not, it will definitely not be possible. Li Shimin will definitely make a big announcement when he learned about this. How can I gain a foothold in the Li family at that time?
At a loss, the boy's feelings were revealed and tears burst out in his eyes.
Liu Shuyi clasped his fists at Li Yi and said, "Brother Li, I'm sorry I can't do anything."
Li Yi said: "Brother, you have tried your best, and you can't blame me for this."
Seeing that Li Yi was full of worry, Liu Shuyi asked, "Brother Li, can you tell me why you left Taiyuan and where are you going?"
Li Yi looked at the main hall and shook his head and said, "This matter is of great importance, I can't forgive me."
Liu Shuyi knew that he was loyal and since Li Yuanji did not speak, he would not reveal the truth anyway. He bowed and said, "I understand, Brother Li, then let's say goodbye to you and see you again if you are destined to be together."
Li Yi held his fists and returned the greeting. Seeing the ox carriage and horses parked outside the door, he asked, "Brother, are you going to go back to Taiyuan?"
Liu Shuyi thought that even if he told Li Jiancheng after he went back, he could no longer stop it, and there was no need to hide it from him. He said, "We will go to Xicheng, and there are important matters that need to be dealt with urgently."
Li Yi was shocked and said, "Xicheng? Which Xicheng? Is Xicheng County, Xihe County?"
Liu Shuyi wondered why he was so shocked and said, "It's indeed here."
Li Yi was overjoyed, held Liu Shuyi's shoulder with both hands, shook it continuously, and said, "Brother, wait for a while, and I'll go."
Liu Shuyi didn't understand why, but since Li Yi said that, he had to say goodbye without saying goodbye and waved his hand to signal Sun Qier to wait for a moment.
While waiting, Li Yuanji heard in the main room shouting: "No, I won't sit." Then he fell silent. After a while, Li Yi walked out of the room.
The matter was urgent, and Liu Shuyi didn't want to delay any more time, so he said to Li Yi: "Brother Li, I'm really sorry. The matter is urgent. We are leaving now, and we will have a date later." After that, he was about to go out.
Li Yi stopped him and said, "Don't you want to know where Mr. Yuanji is going? To be honest, we are going to Xihexi City. Yesterday, there was a big battle, and the ox, carriage and horses were all scattered. Can you take us all the way?"
Liu Shuyi was surprised and thought that there was such a coincidence. Seeing Li Yi's face, it seemed to be fake, he said, "I'm afraid that the fourth young master is delicate and can't sit on our tattered ox cart."
Li Yi looked happy and said, "So, brother agreed?"
Liu Shuyi said: "For the sake of the eldest son, Brother Li asked for permission again. Liu Shuyi no longer knew how to be polite and could not refuse. Brother Li, let's go."
Li Yuanji kept hiding behind the door and eavesdropping, and was extremely angry: You just ignorant of your praise. According to what you said, I have to ride your ox cart today, because it is for the elder brother. It would be fine if it was just because of the elder brother, then what Li Yi is, can't I be as good as a small servant?
Among all the brothers, he had the most intimate relationship with his elder brother, so he naturally knew that although Li Yi was a servant, he had a close relationship with his elder brother, just like a brother. But because of this, sometimes when the elder brother encountered problems, he did not discuss with him, but went to find Li Yi. He became jealous and never gave Li Yi a good face.
At this time, Li Yi shouted: "Fourth Young Master, Brother Shuyi is very wise and is willing to go on the road with us. Let's go."
Li Yuanji was about to go out, but when he heard these words, he stopped moving forward and his arrogance suddenly increased: Why do I have to receive the favor of Liu Shuyi? If I don’t take the bus, I can’t get to Xicheng?
But I immediately remembered the tragic situation of yesterday's war, and I still felt scared. I also thought of the warriors who were willing to die for themselves. If this trip cannot be completed successfully, how can I be worthy of them if my father and brother trust him.
He gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, lowered his head and rushed out of the room. He passed by Liu Shuyi and Li Yi, and did not hello, and continued to walk out of the gate. He came to the ox cart and jumped up.
Li Yi felt embarrassed and smiled and said, "Brother, don't be surprised."
Liu Shuyi cursed in his heart: You are the most inappropriate among the father and son of the Li family, but the most in temper. Li Da and Li Er are outstanding in ability, and you can't catch up even if you spoil it. Li Xuanba died young, but Li Yuan missed and mourned every day. I think he will be extraordinary in his life. What qualifications do you have to be arrogant and domineering?
He secretly scolded Li Yuanji to the point of being worthless, but he said quietly: "Young people are young and energetic and unrighteous." But he forgot that he was also a young man.
Li Yi was surprised when he saw that he looked like he was a young man and saw through the world. He thought to himself that you were not a young man, but he was indeed different and extremely mature and steady.
Everyone was about to go, and Liu Shuyi asked for some money from Liu Xiao, and secretly placed it next to the door, and then jumped onto the carriage.
At first, he was afraid of bandits, but he still walked along the remote path. The road was rugged and the ox cart was moving slowly. After walking like this for two days, he had already entered Xihe County. Sun Qier and Li Yi each rode a horse and explored the way along the Guanfu Avenue. When he came back, he reported that there were very few refugees on the road. He suggested that he switched to the road.
Everyone happily agreed that the ox, carriage and horses galloped across the avenue at a very fast speed and would arrive in Xicheng County soon.
Liu Shuyi was in the carriage, sitting upright, feeling more and more bored.
The world of two people originally with Xiaohuan no longer exists, and Li Yuanji is like a big light bulb, illuminating the carriage.
Li Yuanji seemed to have a very strict family education, sitting upright, not squinting, and his eyes were bright and bright. However, Liu Shuyi was used to being lazy and always felt comfortable. As soon as he entered the car, he imagined sitting next to Xiaohuan as before, leaning against the carriage, with soft jade on his back, smelling the fragrance slightly, extremely comfortable.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Huan was shy because of outsiders present, so he turned his body slanted and refused to let him rely on him. Liu Shuyi was unprepared and almost fell down.
Xiaohuan kept winking like him, signaling Li Yuanji to be present and told him not to make trouble. But he pretended not to know and continued to use the same trick again.
Xiaohuan frowned slightly. Seeing that Liu Shuyi was getting more and more arrogant, he stretched out his right hand and twisted it hard under his armpit. Liu Shu suddenly felt a severe pain and opened his mouth and was about to scream loudly. However, Li Yuanji's eyebrows stood up and stared at him.
Liu Shuyi immediately squeezed out a smiling face and nodded to Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji snorted coldly, turned his head and looked elsewhere, and felt extremely disgusted with him kissing me and me in front of him, flirting with each other, but he was under someone else's carriage and could not speak, so he had to be unhappy.
Seeing that Li Yuanji was full of anger, Liu Shuyi swallowed his anger and felt very happy, but his armpits still hurt slightly. He turned around and attached himself to Xiaohuan's ear and whispered: "Miss Xiaohuan, are you going to murder your husband?"
Xiao Huan was embarrassed and his cheeks were flushed. He wanted to run away, but where could he run in the car?
