Li Tong thought for a while and said: "It's getting late now. I will leave for the capital tomorrow and I must bring my father back."
Liu Xiu said: "I'll go!" Li Shou was good at everything, but his temper was too stubborn. Liu Xiu estimated that even if Li Tong arrived in the capital in time, it would be difficult to persuade Li Shou to return to Wancheng.
Li Tong took a breath, shook his head repeatedly, and said nervously: "Master, the capital is too dangerous for you."
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't stay in the capital for too long." As he spoke, he stood up and said: "Ci Yuan, take me to Zhuangzi to see it."
Knowing that Liu Xiu was worried about Yin Lihua, Li Tong responded simply: "Okay!"
The Li family's village is located to the west of Wancheng, about ten or twenty miles away from Wancheng. It is located in a remote location and is surrounded by barren mountains and ridges.
However, the scenery here is absolutely beautiful and spectacular. If it is daytime, even if you stand in the village and look around, you can see green mountains and green water, shrouded in clouds and mist, just like a fairyland, so beautiful.
When Liu Xiu and others arrived here, it was already dark and they could no longer see the beautiful scenery around Zhuangzi.
Li Tong arranged more than 20 guards and servants in Zhuangzi. These people have all worked in the Li family for many years. They are all experienced and absolutely reliable.
Under the guidance of the servant, Liu Xiu and his party came to Zhuangzi's backyard. In the pavilion in the garden, Liu Xiu and others finally saw Yan Guang and Yin Lihua in a pink dress.
Li Tong met Yin Lihua, and he personally brought Yin Lihua to this village.
Li Yi had never met Yin Lihua. He was too busy now, busy recruiting troops and collecting supplies. He didn't think that a woman sent by Liu Xiu had to go and see her.
At this time, Li Yi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Yin Lihua sitting in the pavilion.
He had only heard that Yin Lihua was very beautiful before, but as for the specific extent of her beauty, he had no idea in his mind. Now that he saw Yin Lihua in person, he finally understood what it means to be beautiful in the country and the sky, and what it means to be unparalleled in beauty.
Looking at Yin Lihua, who was sitting there like a fairy, he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, this girl should only exist in heaven, and it is rare to find her in the world!
Seeing him standing there stupidly, looking at Yin Lihua in a daze, Li Tong secretly laughed. When he first met Yin Lihua, she was probably similar to his cousin.
Yin Lihua is so beautiful, so beautiful that she can't live in the world, so beautiful that she almost flies away, like a luminous body. Even if she doesn't say anything and is there motionless, people can never ignore her existence.
Li Tong patted Li Yi's arm, and the latter finally came to his senses, turned to look at Li Tong, and couldn't help but blush. Li Tong said in a low voice: "Cousin, when I first met Miss Lihua, I was also
Just like you!"
As he spoke, he smiled lightly and followed Liu Xiu into the pavilion.
Li Yi took several deep breaths in succession, but still could not suppress his violent heartbeat. He lowered his head slightly and was the last one to walk into the pavilion, but his eyes were always drifting towards Yin Lihua.
"Ziling, Lihua!" Seeing Yan Guang and Yin Lihua safe and sound, Liu Xiu's mental arithmetic fell into her stomach.
"Lord!" Yan Guang saluted Liu Xiu. Yin Lihua also saluted Liu Xiufu and said, "Uncle Wen, you saved me again this time."
"Lihua doesn't need to say thank you, it's just a small effort." Liu Xiu said seriously.
"Are you...are you injured?" Yin Lihua looked at him with a look of worry.
Liu Xiu said lightly: "It's just a few skin injuries. They have been dealt with long ago and are not a problem."
Hearing what he said, Yin Lihua felt even more regretful and murmured: "For me, Uncle Wen shouldn't take such a big risk."
Liu Xiu shrugged and said: "The higher the risk, the greater the reward. This time the Wang family is completely finished."
The bodies of Wang Yuan and others have been secretly disposed of by them. Not to mention that they cannot be found in a short time, even if they are found in another ten or twenty years, it will be difficult for them to be discovered. The disappearance of Wang Yuan and others can only be attributed to them.
After kidnapping Yin Lihua, she ran away. If such a big thing happened, someone must be responsible and someone must be the instigator. As the mastermind behind it, Wang Jing was naturally the first to bear the brunt, whether it was Zhen Fu or the court.
, or Wang Mang, could not let him go.
Yan Guang had already guessed how things would develop next.
He sighed softly and said: "The Xinye Wang family was a big family in its heyday. Who would have thought that it would eventually end up like this. Wang Jing certainly brought it upon himself, and it is difficult for his family to survive the disaster."
Liu Xiu nodded, feeling helpless about this. Zhu You said disapprovingly: "The Wang family brought it all on themselves, no one else is to blame!"
Li Tong smiled, waved his hand and said, "Lord, everyone, please sit down and talk!"
Under Li Tong's greeting, everyone sat down in the pavilion. Liu Xiu told Yan Guang and Yin Lihua about his upcoming itinerary.
Hearing that he was going to the capital, both of them frowned. Yan Guang knew that the national counselor Liu Qin wanted to kill Liu Xiu, so he said with concern: "My lord, is this trip too dangerous?"
Liu Xiu said: "Li Gong has a stubborn temper. It's probably useless for others to try to persuade him. I have to go there myself."
Yan Guang said: "Lord, let me go with you!"
Liu Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "We don't need too many people to go to the capital this time. It's just me and Zhongxian."
Deng Yu and Gai Yan asked in unison: "Lord, where am I?"
Liu Xiu first nodded to Deng Yu and said with a smile: "Zhonghua's reputation in the capital is too great." After that, he nodded to Gai Yan and said, "Ju Qing's figure is too outstanding." When the two of them appeared in the capital, they both
It's easy to attract others' attention.
He continued: "You will stay in Zhuangzi for the time being. I will go to the capital on this trip. If everything goes well, I will be back in just one month."
Yin Lihua nodded slightly and whispered: "Uncle Wen, please be more careful during this trip."
Liu Xiu smiled at Yin Lihua and said, "I can do it."
At this time, Li Yi cleared his throat and said, "Miss Lihua, this is Li Yi, whose courtesy name is Ji Wen."
As soon as Li Yi walked into the pavilion, Yin Lihua noticed him, but she didn't like Li Yi.
People like Liu Xiu, Li Tong, even Deng Yu, Yan Guang, etc., all looked very surprised when they first met him, but their eyes were very clear. But Li Yi was different. Yin Lihua always felt that he was
The look in her eyes was strange and made her feel uncomfortable.
After all, Yin Lihua was only fifteen years old. She felt a little disgusted with Li Yi and had a very cold attitude towards him. She just smiled politely and nodded to him.
But her smile, like an invisible hook, drew away Li Yi's three souls and seven souls, leaving him standing there stupidly, staring blankly at Yin Lihua.
Seeing this, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh secretly. It was already very rude to stare at this girl like this, not to mention that this girl was the lord's favorite!
He secretly poked Li Yi with his elbow. When Li Yi came to his senses, he frowned slightly, looked at him deeply, and signaled him to restrain himself.
Li Yi coughed dryly and turned his head away. Li Tong was afraid that his cousin's performance would displease Liu Xiu, so he said with a smile: "During this period, my cousin has been doing a lot of work, recruiting brothers and collecting supplies.
If things continue to develop at this rate, everything will be ready in Wancheng in three months at most!"
Liu Xiu was also positive about Li Yi's ability, but he could more or less guess what Li Yi had in mind.
In the Li family, the real head of the family is Li Shou, and the young master is naturally Li Tong, not Li Yi. As a cousin, Li Yi is always a head shorter than his cousin, so he naturally feels very unbalanced.
Joining the Zhutian Capital Tribe and responding to the uprising is an opportunity that can change Li Yi's fate. The more active and diligent he is, the higher his status in the Zhutian Capital Tribe will be after the uprising, even if
Now, the clues have been revealed. Those who were recruited under the Li family, everyone was respectful to Li Yi and expected him to follow his lead. On the contrary, their attitude towards Li Tong was much more casual, and they were far less respectful to Li Yi.
To put it bluntly, Li Yi used the name of the Li family and took the Li family's money to earn reputation and prestige for himself and win over his cronies.
Li Tong is so smart, can he not understand? Can he not see it? Absolutely not! Li Tong is just too kind and unwilling to compete with his cousin.
Liu Xiu's thinking has always been quick and he is good at understanding people's hearts. Although he has just arrived in Wancheng and the Li family, he has also seen many ways.
He nodded to Li Tong and Li Yi with a smile, but still reminded: "People are more valuable than more people. The brothers you recruit must be reliable and able to stand up at critical moments. Otherwise, no matter how many you recruit, it will be useless."
use!"
Li Yi patted his chest and said, "Uncle Wen, don't worry, every brother I recruit is carefully selected by me!"
"Yeah." I hope so! Liu Xiu didn't say much, but added something silently in his heart. In fact, he was still very suspicious of Li Yi's words. Li Yi was too eager for quick success and instant benefit in doing things.
Li Tong is reliable.
That night, they did not return to Wancheng, but stayed in Zhuangzi.
The next morning, Liu Xiu was ready to leave for the capital. However, he hadn't even finished breakfast when a servant of the Li family hurried to Zhuangzi, bringing three people with him, Long Yuan, Long Zhun, and Long Bu.
Liu Xiu was shocked when he saw the three of them. He looked behind the three of them and saw no one else. At this time, Liu Xiu had a bad feeling in his heart.
He asked anxiously: "Uncle Zhong, you... why are you back?"
Long Yuan and the three of them were all tired of work. It could be seen that they had traveled a long way to get to Wancheng. Long Yuan did not speak immediately, but looked to the left and right. Li Tong understood and quickly waved to retreat.
servants present.
After everyone left, Long Yuan saluted Liu Xiu and said, "My lord, something happened in the capital!"
"What happened?"
"Uh... Li Gong... Li Gong was beheaded by Wang Mang!" Long Yuan lowered his head and said. Behind him, Long Zhun and Long Bo looked ugly and both lowered their heads.
