At this moment, Li Xiuyuan took off his Taoist robe and wore a brocade robe with his hair tied around his shoulders. His long black hair was neatly combed by the close-fitting maid, without any mess.
Standing more than eight feet tall, he is straight and straight. He is walking now, his pace is neither slow nor slow, steady and powerful, without any frivolity or casualness. It can be seen that this person is a down-to-earth person with a calm personality.
His handsome appearance coupled with his majestic figure that stood out from the crowd was enough to attract the attention of women and girls passing by on the street.
Some young girls blushed when they saw him, and did not dare to confront him. After he passed by, he couldn't help but look back and peek.
Behind him were two personal maids, one on the left and one on the right.
A man of about twenty-eight years old, well-behaved and cute, with bright eyes twinkling, revealing a different kind of agility.
The other one is older, with a fair face, delicate face, and a gentle personality. Although not as beautiful as the other maid, she is still pretty and has a mature figure. You can tell that she is a woman who is good at giving birth.
"What a handsome young master. Whose husband is this? Why haven't you seen it in Guobei County before? Look at the maids around the young master wearing Su brocade. He looks so luxurious." A woman selling sachets by the roadside
People couldn't help but asked.
"Oh, I mean Mr. Fang, you have been doing business here for several months and you don't even recognize the young master?" A vendor next to him said in shock.
The Fang family was shocked: "Eldest young master? Which eldest young master?"
"A woman is a woman. Her hair is long but her knowledge is short. How can there be any other young master in Guobei County? Isn't it the one from Mr. Li's family? Did you see that street over there? By the way, let's include this one.
Street, if the young master you mentioned stops there, all the shopkeepers will respectfully call him.
Master Shengda, why do you think this is?"
The hawker chuckled: "Because all the shops are owned by Master Li, and the shopkeepers all eat from the Li family. I have been shouting for a long time, and everyone is happily calling me young master. I guess today
The eldest young master is not in the mood to go shopping, is there something wrong?"
"How do you, a candy maker, know so clearly?" asked Fang.
The hawker said with some pride: "When the young master was this old, no, maybe even younger, he ate the candy figures I made, and asked me if he could make some candy figures made of pigs, cows, and sheep. I said yes.
No, the eldest young master said at that time that you can do it. At that time, I was not good at it and I really couldn’t do it.
But the eldest young master put a piece of silver in front of me, and I pinched it out the next day, and it was so delicate that I didn't expect it myself."
"Thanks to the eldest young master's ingot of silver, now the whole family can eat and drink without any worries thanks to this craftsmanship."
As he said this, the hawker felt a little emotional. Back then, he was so bad at making candy that he couldn't even eat.
The woman next to her was envious when she heard this: "If a girl from this family followed this young master, she would be rich."
"Wealth? It's like flying up a branch and turning into a phoenix. Are you not well-informed? A while ago, why did Mr. Li hold a banquet and entertain all the villagers? That's because the young master led the troops to win the battle a few years ago. I heard that
Now that the emperor has made him a high-ranking official, what have he done? Why is Yangzhou eating shit?"
"He is the governor of Yangzhou." A scholar passing by said with a sinister expression.
"Haha, the accent sounds like this, sir, how senior is the governor?" the vendor asked politely.
"The governor of Yangzhou can also be divided into false and real positions. A false position is a sinecure and has no real power. However, the governor of Yangzhou has a real job. He has real power and can govern a state and affect the finance and military power of a place. Although in the imperial court, the governor cannot control military power, but in reality
The governor can order the general soldiers and mobilize the army, but other people can
His dynasty is just like a feudal lord, and you won’t understand even if I tell you.” The scholar shook his head and left.
Speaking of Li Xiuyuan, the scholar couldn't help but sigh, he could be considered Li Xiuyuan's classmate.
However, Li Xiuyuan was born as a child a long time ago. He later passed the examination as a scholar, abandoned martial arts and became a civil servant. He led the army to quell the rebellion and became the governor in just one year.
And he is still studying in school, preparing for the exam.
"A dragon and a phoenix among men, a hidden dragon emerges from the abyss." The scholar sighed in his heart.
However, when Li Xiuyuan came to the school, he found that Kong Sheng was not here. After some inquiries, he found out that Kong Sheng was ill and was recuperating at home, so he did not come to the school to teach.
"Master Kong is sick?" He immediately frowned.
"If that's the case, then I really need to go and visit."
Li Xiuyuan left the school without hesitation and went to visit Kong Sheng's residence.
"Um?"
But when he came to the door, he stopped and looked up at the sky above the yard.
"Master, what's wrong? Don't you want to go in?" asked Xiaodie next to him.
Demonic spirit?
Li Xiuyuan's heart sank and he was a little surprised.
Could it be that Kong Sheng's illness was caused by evil spirits? But how is this possible? The evil spirits in Guobei County have been completely driven away, and all the evil spirits and ghosts have been sent to the underworld. The remaining ghosts, gods, and spirits are all good, at least not
May do evil.
"Of course I have to go in and take a look." He knocked on the door without hesitation.
"Dong dong~!"
The person who opened the door was a young man, apparently a disciple of Kong Sheng.
"I am Li Xiuyuan, Master Kong's disciple. I heard that Master Kong is here, so I came here to visit." Li Xiuyuan saluted.
"It turns out it's Mr. Li. I'm going to report it to the teacher right now. I also ask Mr. Li to wait a moment." The young man was a little surprised and hurriedly returned the greeting and then left.
When he came back, he said, "Teacher, Mr. Li is invited to come in."
"It's time to work."
Li Xiuyuan said, and then motioned to Xiaodie and Du Chunhua to hand over the gifts they had prepared.
"Master Li, you're welcome."
When he walked in, he saw Kong Sheng lying on the bed. His face was relatively healthy, but for some reason, there was a peach-sized boil on his chest. It looked very painful, which made him
I couldn't help but moan from time to time.
In the house, besides Kong Sheng, there was another young man.
This man was richly dressed and handsome in appearance, and was checking on Kong Sheng's condition.
"Oh, is Xiu Yuan here?" Kong Sheng heard the footsteps, looked up slightly, and said with some joy.
Li Xiuyuan is the most promising among the students he teaches, how unhappy he is.
"Meet the teacher."
Li Xiuyuan immediately bowed respectfully: "I heard that the teacher is sick and lying in bed, and the students came here to visit. Is the teacher okay?"
When Kong Sheng heard this, he sighed repeatedly: "You have the intention, you have the intention. Now you have become the governor of a party, but you rarely come to visit me. I am just suffering from a minor illness. It is not worth your coming in person. If you delay
If I take over your government affairs, wouldn’t it be mine? Since I am an official, I will
If you want to benefit the people of one place, how can you abolish public service for private reasons?"
"What the teacher taught is that it is not a delay for students to return to their hometown to visit their parents. Is this young master a disciple of the teacher? I have never seen him before."
Li Xiuyuan suddenly looked at the young master next to him again, and couldn't help but condense his eyes.
Kong Sheng said: "This is Mr. Huangfu, whom I met when I was out. He lived outside Guobei City. He wanted to be my teacher at first, but he was so talented in literature that I couldn't teach him. We became close friends and we are here today."
I have a minor illness, and Mr. Huangfu came here to visit me."
"There is no wealthy family named Huangfu outside Guo Beicheng. Does this young master really live outside Guo Beicheng?" Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes and asked.
Guo Beicheng was not prosperous before and was very poor like other places. The Li family did not know which family was rich or who became successful.
Mr. Huangfu hurriedly said: "I heard that Guobei County is full of flowers and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I have recently moved here. In today's world, bandits are rampant outside, the court is fatuous, and my father is cautious by nature, so I moved my family to Guixian County. I have heard it for a long time.
The reputation of the eldest young master of the Li family, when I see it today, Mr. Li will be
She is really gorgeous and extraordinary, and she is really like a dragon or a phoenix among people."
"Did you move here recently? That's it. No wonder I haven't heard of it before. Besides, Mr. Huangfu is too polite. I'm just an ordinary scholar, so I'm not one of the best among people." Li Xiuyuan smiled modestly.
But there was an inadvertent flash of golden light in his eyes.
The young master Huangfu in front of him instantly revealed his true colors in his eyes.
Demon~!
Li Xiuyuan saw through his true identity, and as expected, he must have practiced Taoism for more than five hundred years.
Because if he didn't incarnate as a human being, he wouldn't need to use his divine eye skills to see through his true form at a glance.
"When I came here just now, I saw Mr. Huangfu asking for pulses. Does it mean that Mr. Huangfu knows medical skills? Can you see how to solve Master Kong's condition?" Li Xiuyuan said calmly.
Mr. Huangfu laughed at himself: "I have only learned a little bit of medical skills, and it is far from the point where I can diagnose and treat diseases. I have a cousin named Qiao Na, who is fourteen years old and has been proficient in medical skills since she was a child.
, I checked out my husband’s condition, and I can definitely cure it with my little sister’s medical skills, so I decided to
I'll write a letter after I get back, asking my little sister to come."
"This will help you." Kong Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He had been suffering from illness for several days and was not getting better even after taking medicine. Now he was thirsty for medical treatment.
"Sir and I have been lifelong friends, so why should such a trivial matter matter?" Mr. Huangfu said hurriedly.
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "It would be best if the young master's cousin can cure Master Kong. But I don't know if the young master's cousin lives far away? Do you need carriages and horses to transport you? My Li family has escort agencies all over the world.
, maybe it can help.”
"No, no, how can I trouble Mr. Li with such a trivial matter? I will take care of it. Please bear with me for a day or two. When I invite my little sister, I will definitely be able to cure Mr. Li's serious illness." Mr. Huangfu said immediately.
: "I think we should send someone to see him off today. We can't delay, lest Mr.
Suffer more pain."
"Thank you, Mr. Huangfu." Kong Sheng was greatly moved when he heard this.
"You're welcome, sir."
Mr. Huangfu, after being polite, quickly said goodbye and left.
After seeing him leave, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but ponder.
There are only two types of monsters that can enter Guobei County. They are either big monsters with powerful abilities and can hide the truth from the sky, such as the old black mountain monster, the thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum spirit, etc. The other type is the monster that has not committed any crime.
If you don't commit any crime, the local ghosts and gods will not arrest you and will acquiesce in allowing these monsters to wander around the world.
When he eliminates demons, he does not mean to drive them all away, but to eliminate evil demons.
"Let's go and see where this Huangfu Master lives. How many monsters are there in his home? Why did he seek Master Kong?" Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
Master Kong had the gift of teaching, so he felt it was necessary to care about it.
