The summer rains come one after another, gradually changing from sultry to cool.
In the rain, the soldiers were running around, the people were running around, the guards and rebels were coming and going, the situation was as chaotic as the rain, and the world was as muddy as the ground.
Which city was conquered, which city was recovered, whether the guards had the upper hand or the rebels were fierce, as for how many eldest ladies there were in Taiyuan Mansion, it didn't matter which one was the eldest.
Autumn is the harvest season. The weather is suitable and the fertile land of Jiannan Road becomes even more fertile. If you walk in any small town, you can see a dazzling array of goods.
"This little fruit is particularly delicious."
In front of the stall, a young man reached out and pinched a small fruit, his face full of joy.
"I ate it at home more than ten years ago."
I had it more than ten years ago and I still remember it clearly, so it was really delicious.
The stall owner next to him kept his eyes fixed on the young master, and when he heard this, he came back to his senses in surprise: "Young Master turns out to be from our place! No wonder the accent is a little familiar."
Lian Xiaoqiang rolled her eyes aside, saying that she was from here if her accent was a little familiar.
Lian Xiaojun smiled slightly: "No."
The stall owner was a little disappointed. Such a beautiful person was not from the same hometown, and he was a little confused: "But this wild fruit is only available in our local area, and it is picked and eaten on the same day. It is difficult to keep it fresh. You are not a local, how did you eat it?"
ah?"
Lian Xiaojun shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, it was still very fresh when it was delivered to you."
With some aftertaste, he asked Lian Xiaoqiang to buy some, and walked away under the reluctant sight of the stall owner.
Lian Xiaoqiang grabbed a handful of the fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. While feeling the deliciousness explode between her lips and teeth, she asked vaguely: "Have you really eaten it?"
Lian Xiaojun nodded: "I have eaten it. Governor Li should have sent it to me."
At that time, Captain Li and Lian Qing were in love and loved each other. Lian Qing liked her, and Captain Li also thought about her relatives and liked her together.
Lian Xiaoqiang was startled: "Then why haven't I eaten it?"
Lian Xiaojun said: "I don't know."
He said I don't know, and looked at Lian Xiaoqiang's face from top to bottom, from bottom to top...
Even Xiao Qiang understood that in the family there are always people who are missed and there are always people who are forgotten, so he spat out the core.
Lian Xiaojun took a step forward, avoided the core he spat out, and pursed his lips with a smile.
The people on the street were stunned. Those standing had forgotten their movements, and those walking had forgotten to look at the road...
Someone bumped into Lian Xiaojun.
But before he could reach Lian Xiaojun, the guards from all sides swarmed up and surrounded Lian Xiaojun, making it airtight.
The person who was about to bump into Lian Xiaojun was separated. Lian Xiaoqiang was staggered while holding the fruit paper bag, and choked on the half-eaten fruit, coughing repeatedly...
"Ah, I almost bumped into my brother. There were too many people on the street." The person who hit him was a teenager. He looked uneasy and apologetic at this time. He looked up at Lian Xiaojun, who was being guarded behind the wall, "Brother.
She’s so good-looking.”
Just because there are so many people on the street is not a reason to bump into someone. Lian Xiaojun smiled and looked at the young man through the gap in the guard: "You look good too."
Lian Xiaoqiang stretched her neck to swallow the fruit, wiped the tears from her eyes, and squeezed in behind the guards bitterly.
"Where did brother come from?" The young man did not walk away, but looked at Lian Xiaojun with bright eyes and a reluctant expression, "Have you eaten, brother? Brother is eating wild cherry seeds, isn't it delicious?"
Lian Xiaojun answered one by one, "I came from a far away place", "I've had dinner" and "It's very delicious".
"Brother, do you want to stay here?" The young man asked happily, his eyes looking forward to it, "My family has a beautiful garden, please let me live here."
Lian Xiaojun thanked you with a smile and looked regretful: "I have to leave. I can't stay any longer. I will definitely bother you the next time I come."
The young man was regretful and happy: "Brother, you must remember to look for me when you come."
The guards surrounded Lian Xiaojun and continued walking under the watchful eyes of the young man and the surrounding onlookers.
Even Xiao Qiang stuffed a handful of wild cherry blossoms into her mouth and ate them bitterly. If he was really an assassin, no one would care about him even if he died eight hundred times.
He didn't feel anything was wrong. He had seen a lot since childhood, and there were far fewer men, women, and old people who wanted to bump into Lian Xiaojun. If he couldn't bump into Lian Xiaojun, he would fall over in front of him, which made Lian Xiaojun very happy to take a second look.
The people around him didn't think anything was wrong. The young man did and said what they wanted to say.
Lian Xiaojun walked out of the small town surrounded by guards, stopped and looked back, sighing with an expression: "That child has grown so big."
Lian Xiaoqiang asked vaguely: "Which child? The one just now? Do you recognize it?"
Lian Xiaojun looked at him: "Don't you recognize it?"
Lian Xiaoqiang blinked in surprise: "I recognize it too?"
Lian Xiaojun said with a smile: "They say boys follow their mothers, and he does look a lot like Aunt Six."
The fruit in Lian Xiaoqiang's mouth fell, and her body felt numb: "He, he, he is here!"
...
...
Lian Xiaojun walked out of the small town, and the young man who invited him actually walked into a courtyard. The courtyard was fresh and elegant, and the maids and servants stood in unison and saluted: "I have seen the governor."
The damselfly who had grown taller came out of the house holding an armchair and placed it on the porch: "Captain, please sit down."
Li Mingyu sat down on the armchair and called for someone. Two steward-looking people came forward and leaned over to ask for instructions.
"Captain, have you seen him?"
"Catch him?"
"There's no need to arrest him yet." Li Mingyu said, patting the armrest, "Assemble a force and seal off all his businesses, as well as all the shops that have business dealings with him."
A steward looked up and asked, "Do you need a reason?"
Sealing a shop with soldiers and horses is no small matter, especially in the stable and stable Jiannan Road. It is necessary to give a reason to avoid panic among the people.
Li Mingyu smiled: "There is no need for a reason. My father didn't need a reason back then, and he certainly doesn't need a reason now."
The young master was young, looked delicate, but acted sharply and fiercely. The stewards stopped asking questions. The young master was right. The governor was the reason. They turned around and left.
The damselfly jumped over from the side and said, "Sir, did Lian Xiaojun recognize you? What did he say?"
Li Mingyu reached out and touched his face: "You should recognize me. My sister said that I look like my mother."
My sister said that even Xiaojun looks a bit like his mother. He has never seen his mother before, but it turns out that his mother is so beautiful.
...
...
Lian Xiaoqiang followed Lian Xiaojun forward with numb hands and feet, and soon received news that the business points they set up after entering Jiannan Road and the shops and merchants where they had and were doing transactions had been sealed.
"All troops were mobilized. They didn't give any reason. They just sealed the door and didn't arrest anyone."
Lian Xiaojun sat on the side of the mountain to rest and listen to the news.
The person who reported the news raised his head, his face was white and easy-going, and he was holding a stack of slender notes in his hand.
Lian Xiaojun's eyes fell on the note and he praised: "The eyeliner you left behind was also very fast. The news came out so quickly, and it has not been seized by the troops of Jiannan Road."
"There are specialties in the arts." Wei Wei leaned over and said, "The old slave grew up in the palace and had no worries about food and clothing. The only thing he had to do was to study the means of doing things privately."
Lian Xiaojun smiled: "You are right, there are specialties in the arts, and everyone is the same."
He stopped talking about this and continued: "The soldiers and horses did not arrest us, they visited us all the way, and they did not follow us."
"After all, this kid is bleeding from his aunt, and he is much stronger than his father." Lian Xiaoqiang was worried all the way. At this time, she finally saw Li Mingyu, and the other shoe in her heart dropped, "He just doesn't allow us to enter the sword."
Nandao, you don’t want to beat us to death or arrest us, let’s leave quickly.”
Lian Xiaojun raised his head and looked ahead, seeing layers of green mountains in the dusk.
"No." He said, "We are about to reach the center of Jiannan Road."
Lian Xiaoqiang stuck out her butt and rolled up the mat: "So what if we arrive? We won't be able to stand even if we arrive."
The cooperative merchants have been blocked. Even if the soldiers and horses do not give a reason, these merchants are not stupid and they must know where the problem is. Then it will spread throughout Jiannan Road. These merchants who rely on Jiannan Road to survive will not go crazy.
Cooperate with them.
Lian Xiaojun said: "I'm going to see my little cousin and beg him."
Lian Xiaoqiang paused while holding the cushion: "Is it possible?" Looking at Lian Xiaojun's face, she felt that it was not impossible...then she shook her head again, "No, no, even though I am a child, that's not possible.
Li Fengan’s son.”
There were so many beauties in the family back then, but Li Fengan, who was once obsessed with his sixth aunt, seemed to be blind. He was as cruel as he was to them in the past.
And he also passed this ferocity to the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Road.
"There are also people from the Li family." Lian Xiaoqiang reminded, "The people from the Li family didn't like us originally, but now that they have occupied Jiannan Road, they will definitely eat us alive."
Lian Xiaojun said: "The Li family is insignificant." He touched his face and said, "My cousin looks a bit like me. Not only are we close in blood, but we also cherish each other as beauties."
...
...
Li Mingyu was sitting in the inner hall of the Jiannan Dao Yamen. She looked at Lian Xiaojun who was walking in front of her. She didn't look away at all. There was greed, grievance and expectation in her eyes...
Lian Xiaojun knew that he was looking at another person through him, so he also looked at Li Mingyu with the eyes of another person.
"I'm here to ask you to give the Lian family a chance," he said, "let our two families reconcile."
Li Mingyu smiled and shook his head: "I don't believe you. What you're asking for is not a reconciliation, but a chance for Lian's revenge."
Lian Xiaojun smiled bitterly: "Mingyu, without Jiannan Road, what can our Lian family gain?"
Li Mingyu said: "Some people don't ask for anything in revenge. As long as they see their enemies being unlucky, they will be very happy."
This child is so young and has this idea. Even Xiao Qiang stood back and shivered, already knowing that this troubled world is full of evil spirits.
Lian Xiaojun smiled: "Mingyu, we are relatives."
Li Mingyu also smiled: "Master Lian, my surname is Li, and we are relatives."
"Mingyu, let me tell you a secret." Lian Xiaojun said, "Your surname is not actually Li."
Li Mingyu was stunned and then laughed: "Why isn't my surname Li?"
Lian Xiaojun looked at him and smiled gently: "Because your father's surname is not Li."
