"The time walkers controlled by the Kashima Consortium should not be much more powerful, but this is compared to me," Li Dongze asked: "The little boss has only completed one life and death test now, and he wants to rob it from them.
It’s not easy for me to represent the world.”
"The second item has been completed," said One.
Li Dongze's status and his relationship with Li Shutong made it unnecessary for Yi to keep it secret.
"So fast?" Li Dongze was a little surprised: "He just climbed up the cliff of Qingshan Mountain not long ago."
"Have you forgotten, time walkers have double time," said One.
"That was too fast. Which item did he complete this time?" Li Dongze was really curious this time.
"Ultimate trust," one replied.
"That thing looks simple, but it's actually very dangerous. When the boss challenged this project, he almost sank into the water, right? How about the little boss?" Li Dongze asked.
"It's okay. The night he completed the ultimate trust, he killed more than ninety killers in one go," one replied.
"Just him?"
"Yes, he is the only one..."
Li Dongze was stunned.
He picked up the glass of amber whiskey on the bar and drank it in one gulp.
I just told him that the little boss is quite cruel to his enemies. At that time, Li Dongze thought to himself, how can the little boss be so cruel if he is so weak now?
Moreover, he knew that Qingchen had only killed one person in so many fights in the octagonal cage.
But it wasn't until now that he realized what this ferocity meant.
"Wait!" Li Dongze suddenly grasped an important point: "The little boss can complete the life and death test in the outer world?! Is there a forbidden sea in the outer world?!"
"Let's not discuss this matter for now," Yi said.
"Okay," Li Dongze calmed down his emotions.
He knows the knights too well, so he knows exactly what the knights need!
One said: "However, when he went to save you from the outside world, he was injured. According to his past personality, he would definitely not interfere."
I started selling favors to Qingchen.
"Did the little boss say how to repay this favor?" Li Dongze was typing on his mobile phone.
"He didn't say," one replied.
Li Dongze thought for a while and then typed: "Is there anything the little boss is missing? Or should I personally go to the forbidden place and find something for him?"
"No."
"Then how about I give him my taboo?" Li Dongze typed: "Although I can only read the weather forecast."
"No need," Yi replied, "He said that since you call him little boss, he should help you."
Li Dongze raised his eyebrows, as if this was indeed the case.
However, for these elders who have followed Li Shutong for many years, it is one thing to know that Qingchen is the future successor.
Accepting it from the bottom of your heart is another matter.
Therefore, when Li Dongze discovered that Qingchen had saved him once without knowing it, he subconsciously wanted to return the favor.
After all, I still don’t really regard Qingchen as my boss.
Qingchen needs to complete this process by himself, and Li Shutong cannot help him.
Li Dongze thought for a while: "Then let's not talk about the favors we owe."
One: "However, he knew that you took a batch of genetic medicine from Su Xingzhi, so he asked you for a FDE-005 genetic medicine. This is to help you eliminate future troubles, so you have to pay for it yourself."
"Eliminate future troubles? How to eliminate them," Li Dongze was puzzled.
"Gene warriors cannot be replaced, you know," said One.
"Of course," Li Dongze nodded.
"So, genetic warriors cannot travel through other people," Yi said.
Li Dongze immediately understood what Qingchen was going to do. The other party wanted to turn Li Dongze from the outside world into a genetic warrior, so that the genes of the two Li Dongzes would no longer match.
Others will no longer be able to make fuss about the worldly Li Dongze.
Name changes and plastic surgery, both of which some people have tried, cannot prevent substitution incidents from happening.
After learning about the replacement mechanism, many federal citizens wanted to go to the Federal Household Registration Office to change their names to something longer and not easily duplicated in the outside world.
Someone even made a special analysis post, saying that names within five characters may be repeated. After all, there are five-character names in the Age of Gods.
Therefore, if you want to change it, it is safest to change it to six characters.
For a time, long queues formed at the entrance of the federal household registration offices in various places. However, before everyone could change their names, news broke that a man named Ju changed his name to 'He is actually a genius' and was still replaced.
Already.
Last week there was news in the federal government that a rich man had undergone plastic surgery, but was replaced the next day.
At this time, everyone realized that the only thing that could prevent the replacement was the most fundamental thing of changing genes.
Many people have begun to suspect that genetic similarity is the only replacement condition, and everything else is just an appearance.
Of course, for Li Dongze, it would be better if the little boss could help him kill him directly. After all, he could save a gene potion.
This is where the most fundamental difference can be seen between the thinking of the inner world and the outer world.
Even people like Li Dongze who have followed Li Shutong for many years have little reverence for life.
Because they have seen too many things and grew up in this environment.
"The little boss has a broad mind," Li Dongze thought for a while: "Okay, I will prepare everything before he returns next time, and anyone can pick it up."
"Just leave it to Hu Xiaoniu," Yi said.
Li Dongze thought of Hu Xiaoniu who had just come to report to him a few days ago. Zhang Tianzhen said: "The little boss is pretty good at judging people. I tried them both. One is good and the other is strange, which is a bit complementary, just like Ye Wan and Lin next to the boss."
Xiaoxiao. It's a pity that the little boss doesn't have talents like me around him yet. Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan alone are not enough, let alone Su Xingzhi."
There was silence for a while: "It's understandable that Su Xingzhi bothers you."
"I heard that the young boss went to Su Xingzhi's place before?" Li Dongze asked: "Because of this trivial matter, he actually used an encrypted channel to chat with me for two days."
"Then," Yi wondered, "Why are you telling me this?"
"Please help me ask the little boss when will he come to Hengshe?" Li Dongze said.
1: "...Is the human desire for comparison so important?"
Li Dongze didn't answer. He took out his retro pocket watch and took a look: "The snow is going to stop."
1: "Can you make some progress every time you change the topic?"
…
…
Return countdown 160:00:00.
Li Changqing didn't know where he went early in the morning. He only left a message for Qingchen, saying that he was going out to handle business.
He was the only one left in the huge Feiyun Courtyard.
I don't know why, even though Qingchen had finished taking the genetic medicine, the servants didn't come back to work.
Li Changqing helped him ask for leave from the mountain leader Li Liheng last night and take a week's rest.
Qingchen thought for a while and decided that he had nothing to do. He washed up a little and walked towards Longhu with a small horse tie.
What he has to do now is to avoid being seen by many people, and he doesn't have to stay in Feiyun Courtyard all the time.
When we arrived at Longhu, the old man was already sitting on the broken bridge.
"Why did you arrive so early today?" Qingchen asked curiously: "Did you know that I took leave and guessed that I would come here early in the morning?"
"It sounds like I'm waiting for you here specifically," the old man said slowly, "I like fishing."
"What's the point of fishing?" Qingchen wondered: "If you want to eat fish, just catch it."
The old man looked at the wide lake, thought for a while and said: "I used to like fishing because my wife always liked to nag. At that time, I hid in Long Lake so that I could think about things quietly by myself. You still have
I’m young so I don’t understand, men need a little space of their own.”
"Ah?" Qingchen was stunned for a moment.
But I heard the old man continue to say: "In the early years, one of my youngest sons was always thinking about the fish in Long Lake, but every time he came to steal fish, I would catch him. The outside world said that I regarded the dragon fish as a fish.
They are treasures, but they are not. There are only 18 arowanas in total, and they will be gone after he eats them. The fish outside are too ferocious, and I don’t want to raise them. So I am mainly worried that all the arowanas in the lake will be spoiled.
There’s no excuse for fishing anymore.”
Qingchen thought to himself, this is all so messed up, why are the big shots in the consortium thinking so weirdly.
"Then why are you willing to let me eat it?" Qingchen was also curious. Everyone in Li's family seemed to know that arowana was very precious, but the other party was willing to let him eat three in a row. Today was the fourth.
The old man said slowly and leisurely: "My wife left a few years ago, and no one nags me anymore, so I don't need to find excuses to avoid her anymore. I came to Longhu originally to avoid her, but I don't know why, she left.
Every time I come to Longhu from now on, I think about her instead, which is strange. In recent years, my eldest son has always advised me to follow the example of other old people to save my life. I always say forget it, she is still here.
Wait for me below, don't keep her waiting too long."
Qingchen was stunned for a long time. When the old man said these words, he didn't mean to be sensational at all. It was just very ordinary, as if he was talking about what he wanted to eat tonight.
It seems that death is the same as eating. When it is time to eat, you should go to eat. There is nothing strange about it.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Qingchen wondered: "I think I am quite brave, but I am still afraid of death."
Qingchen is a very honest person, so he admitted that he was scared when he stood on the 70-meter-high bungee jumping tower with his back to Weiyang Lake.
However, just like what he said to Wang Jiale, your body is ready, and the choice is up to you.
The old man glanced at him and said: "I am not afraid of death. I have seen too many things in my life, but I am more afraid of other things."
"What are you afraid of?" Qingchen asked.
The old man looked at the lake, thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid of seeing honest people forced to lie, I'm afraid of honest people being forced to bend down, I'm afraid of idealists seeing their ideals shattered, and I'm afraid of hearing the last words of those who lie.
To tell the truth, I am afraid that those who protect themselves wisely will suddenly speak out for justice. I am afraid that those who have been betrayed by their ideals will eventually die for their ideals. I am afraid of seeing the last courage of cowards and the charge of traitors."
"I don't understand," Qingchen shook his head.
"Boy," the old man smiled: "When you reach my age, you may understand that these are the most heart-wrenching things in the world. Compared with them, death is not a big deal."
"Maybe I will understand one day," Qingchen said.
Qingchen is smart, but understanding the ways of the world is not something that can only be understood by being smart. You have to actually see it.
One evening many years later, Qingchen recalled this morning and realized that the old man had told him almost all the joys and sorrows of life on this day.
"By the way," the old man said, "You should move out of Feiyun Courtyard. Li Shi has prepared a separate villa for you, the teacher of the martial arts hall, not far from Feiyun Courtyard."
, it’s called Akiba Villa. Although it’s a bit small, it’s definitely big enough for you to live in.”
"How good is Mr. Xi's treatment?" Qingchen asked.
"Of course," the old man said, "The Li family has never treated Mr. Xi badly. Orderliness between elders and young ones is the foundation of this family."
Old and young in order...
Qingchen suddenly recalled what the other party had just said: his eldest son always advised him to continue his life.
Nowadays, there are rumors from the outside that the second-generation leader of the Li family has sent troops to the Mid-Levels Manor to set up defenses, ready to complete the transfer of power at any time.
It stands to reason that the person in charge of the big house should want the old man to die the most, but judging from what the old man said, the inside story seems to be completely different from what the outside world has rumored.
I'm afraid this is not a big gift for anyone.
However, Qingchen didn't care, and he had no intention of getting involved in these things. Again, Bai Tian was still young, and the most important thing was to stay stable.
"That villa has been cleaned. You can move there today," the old man said.
Qingchen felt that something was wrong. Why was the other party so eager? Did he really want him to move out of Feiyun Villa?
Wait, the old man will not misunderstand anything.
"Ahem, I'll move there in a moment. I just don't have anything to bring," Qingchen said.
"Do you need any servants for you?" the old man asked.
"No, it's inconvenient," Qingchen said bluntly.
"By the way, do you understand the practice method I gave you?" the old man said nonchalantly.
"No, that stuff is so profound that I can't figure it out even if my brain is exhausted," Qingchen said, "But I heard that eating fish nourishes the brain. If I can eat an arowana today, I should be able to figure it out.
"
The old man rolled his eyes and pulled the fishing rod.
But he saw a huge dragon fish being hooked out of the originally calm lake.
When Qingchen held the arowana in his hand, the old man waved his hand and said: "Take the arowana and get out of here. Today's fate is over."
Qingchen happily put away the maza and tucked it under his arm, turned around and left the broken bridge.
After walking a few dozen steps, I looked back and saw that the old man was sitting alone on the broken bridge. He didn't swing the hook anymore and just sat quietly.
Looks a little lonely.
…
…
Qingchen did not break his promise. He indeed moved to Qiuye Villa under the guidance of his servants after leaving Longhu.
Compared with other residences, this villa is ridiculously small. Others are all beautiful buildings, but his is a small and simple courtyard.
There are rows of willow trees outside the courtyard, and there is only one path leading here. It is extremely quiet.
In the courtyard, there is an integrated stone table in the middle of the courtyard, and there is a lounge chair next to it.
Qingchen touched it with his fingers from the recliner. It was indeed cleaned, and there was no dust at all.
However, this lounge chair was polished extremely smooth, as if it had been used by someone before.
Qingchen wondered, who was the former owner of this Qiuye Villa? The word Qiuye seemed to be related to Qiuye Knife, so it couldn't be the master's residence back then.
However, Li Shutong should have a very high status in the Li family, so how could he live in such a small courtyard?
Qingchen looked around and found nothing that could prove the identity of the owner. He simply lay on the recliner, swaying and not knowing what to think.
From morning to noon, and from noon to evening.
I don't know why, but Qingchen particularly likes the peace and tranquility at this moment. He doesn't need to face interpersonal relationships or think about any messy things.
However, in the evening, footsteps were heard outside Qiuye Villa.
Qingchen still had his eyes closed.
Dong Dong Dong, someone knocked on the courtyard door: "Sir, are you there? Can I come in?"
"The door is not closed, come in," Qingchen knew it was Li Ke just by hearing the footsteps.
After the young man Li Ke entered the door, he said politely: "I heard that you took leave from the mountain chief because of your physical discomfort, so I went to Feiyun Villa to visit. As a result, you and Aunt Changqing were not there, and a hidden stakeholder told me
I, you moved to Akiba Villa."
"Well," Qingchen asked as he rocked on the recliner, "I don't have anything important to do. I'll go back after reading this."
"Sir, you haven't had dinner yet, I'm going to cook for you," Li Ke said, then entered the kitchen on the east side.
But I saw this boy, who was only three years younger than Qingchen, seriously taking out the vegetables from the refrigerator, and then began to choose vegetables and wash rice.
He doesn't look like a kid from a consortium at all.
Moreover, as a direct descendant of the eldest family, Li Ke has a very high status in the entire Li family.
But such a proud man came to cook for Qingchen?
Qingchen discovered that Li Ke was very familiar with this place, and he suddenly asked: "Actually, you clean this Qiuye Courtyard too, right? You also prepare the vegetables and meat."
Li Ke thought for a while and said: "Sorry sir, I just lied. In fact, I knew you were going to move here in the morning, but this time it was too hasty. I did not clean it alone, but also my servants. But don't worry,
From now on, I will clean them all by myself. In addition, I will put your dirty clothes in the clothes basket in the west wing and I will wash them for you. As for the food, I will cook it for you. Don’t worry, my cooking skills are not bad. At least it’s not bad.
."
Qingchen suddenly asked: "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know," Li Ke shook his head.
"Then why are you doing this?" Qingchen asked curiously.
"Grandpa said that if he wants to learn his true skills, he can come to you," Li Ke said sincerely, "But don't worry, he didn't say anything else. I believe my sincerity can impress you. I didn't lie this time. Grandpa said, I can
You can’t learn that it all depends on fate.”
Qingchen understood that the co-author Li Ke was the old man's favorite grandson, so he directly pointed out a clear path for this boy!
No wonder that after he became a teacher at the Wushu Hall, this kid Li Ke came to him as if he was a different person.
It turned out that there was guidance from an expert.
It seems that the old man hopes that Li Ke will become a knight?
But this kid Li Ke seems to be a very upright person, how can he become a knight?
Qingchen thought for a while and looked at Li Ke: "But if you just do these chores, why do you think I will teach you my real skills? There are many people who can do chores, and servants can do it too. Tell me, what else can you do?
What can be done?”
Li Ke thought seriously for a moment: "I can help you beat Qing Yi, don't worry, he won't see anything."
Qingchen sighed. He didn't expect that this boy would master the essence of knighthood right away...
