Yangzhou city at night.
It is completely different from the night in Qinghe.
Under the sky and night, countless lights are bright and bright.
Goulan wine shop.
There are singing and dancing.
You can vaguely hear the sound of silk and bamboo coming from there.
And the laughter of the guests.
However, most of the people in this inn have already rested.
They do not belong to Yangzhou.
Just temporary walking.
We still have to hurry tomorrow.
Only the light in Li Wuyou's room was still on.
He didn't sleep.
Li Qiu, who accompanied him to Yangzhou, did not dare to sleep either.
He is very sleepy.
Eyelids are fighting uncontrollably.
The head is like a chicken pecking rice.
However, he tried to stay awake as much as possible, ready to be called at any time.
The owner of the family works hard for the Li family!
There is no rest at this time.
What an eloquent spirit this is.
I also have to contribute to the Li family.
can not sleep.
Even serving a cup of tea and a glass of water for the Patriarch would make her feel more at ease.
"Li Qiu, come in."
time flies.
The hoarse shouts of the watchmen passed by the inn for the second time.
It's the second watch.
Li Wuyou's somewhat lazy voice came from the room.
"What is the master's order?"
Li Qiu regained his spirits, stood up quickly, and almost ran all the way into the house.
in the house.
The lights flickered slightly.
Li Wuyou was dressed in a white shirt.
Sitting at the desk, holding an ancient thread-bound book in his left hand.
On the right side, there is already cold tea.
"Close the door."
Li Wuyou raised his head and waved to Li Qiu, and said with an approachable smile,
"Come here, I have something to tell you."
"yes!"
Li Qiu closed the door cautiously, and stood opposite Li Wuyou with some trepidation.
His eyes burned.
There was some unconcealable excitement on his face.
The head of the family called him over so late, and he had such a good attitude. Could it be that he wanted to point him out
Or entrusted with important tasks
After all, the Qinghe Chamber of Commerce has basically completed its preparations.
It's about to start.
"What instructions does the Patriarch have? I, Li Qiu, will definitely go through fire and water, and I will die."
He wanted to show his loyalty, so he said with burning eyes.
"It's impossible to die."
Li Wuyou smiled, put down the thread-bound ancient book, and said,
"Just die."
"ah?"
Li Qiu was stunned for a moment.
He didn't react to the meaning of this sentence.
boom!
At this time, Li Wuyou moved.
The warm smile on his face turned into a murderous intent.
The hand that was still holding the book just now was clenched into a fierce and domineering iron fist.
In an instant, he was in front of Li Qiu's door.
"you… "
Li Qiu's eyes suddenly widened.
However, he didn't say a word at all.
boom!
The innate perfect fist has a force of 1,300 jin.
Coupled with the steel-like muscles and bones brought by the iron bones.
This punch is enough to break gold and stone.
Li Qiu couldn't hide, couldn't resist!
There was a muffled sound.
The head was completely smashed open.
Plasma burst.
His headless body just shook and fell to the ground.
Blood, flowing slowly.
"one!"
The ferocity on Li Wuyou's face instantly disappeared, and then, he picked up the handkerchief he had prepared long ago, and wiped away the blood on his fist.
Afterwards, he drank the remaining half cup of Lu Yangchun.
Put on the black cloak.
Jumped from the window into the night sky of Yangzhou City.
"Next!"
he muttered to himself.
…
Often come to the inn.
It was already dark.
Most of the guests are already asleep.
But again, the lights in one room were still shining.
Two figures were projected in front of the window.
"Grandpa, you want me to be betrothed to the head of the Li family? Why? I don't want to marry so early!"
A slightly coquettish voice came from inside.
Follow the sound and look over.
Under the lights, is a young girl in a red dress.
Fourteen or fifteen years old.
It is the time of cardamom.
She has a delicate face, and her brows and eyes are innocent.
She is the only daughter of the current head of the Zhao family.
Zhao Liuli.
This trip was originally to relax in Yangzhou City.
Unexpectedly, when she was going to rest at night, Zhao Sifang called over and gave her this order.
Betroth her to someone else.
"Xiao Li, grandpa, this is for your own good."
Zhao Sifang lightly fiddled with the wick of the oil lamp on the desk, and the light in the room became brighter.
With hope for the future in his eyes, he said,
"This junior in the Li family is not easy."
"Breath of mind, far beyond ordinary people."
"And this talent is amazing."
"In the future, I will definitely lead the Li family to glory."
"Before he takes off yet, you marry him and win his heart. In the future...you will definitely enjoy the glory and wealth as the wife of the wife."
"But great-grandfather..."
Zhao Liuli pursed her lips, still somewhat reluctant.
She was only fourteen years old, she didn't want to be like this...
"This is my grandfather's order."
Zhao Sifang interrupted Zhao Liuli's next words, frowned slightly, and said,
"Your father won't say anything."
"Tomorrow, I will arrange for you to contact the Patriarch of the Li family. You must seize the opportunity."
Zhao Liuli lowered her head.
No rejection.
"Xiao Li, Grandpa's vision of seeing people is absolutely correct. If you follow him, the future will be good."
"You will be grateful to Grandpa in the future."
Zhao Sifang knew what the great-granddaughter thought, and persuaded her earnestly.
"oh."
Zhao Liuli responded lightly.
"Master, the head of the Li family pays his respects."
At this time, a servant's voice came from outside the door.
"he came?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Zhao Sifang's face,
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there!"
"Girl, don't be shy, stay with Grandpa, just to let you see the good husband that Grandpa has chosen for you."
"I guarantee that after you read it, you won't be dissatisfied again."
Zhao Liuli didn't dare to refuse.
Standing behind Zhao Sifang.
And, prepare to pour water and make tea.
crunch!
Not long after, the door opened.
Li Wuyou walked in in a white shirt.
Under the light, the sharp-edged face looked extraordinarily handsome.
Moreover, there is also a kind of modest demeanor that makes people easily let go of their guard.
Zhao Liuli glanced at it quietly.
Can't help but be attracted.
The little face was slightly flushed like a rainbow.
Then, he quickly lowered his head.
Heart pounding accelerated.
Grandpa's vision is really good, this man is really good-looking.
"Nephew, what's the matter with you so late?"
Zhao Sifang caught a glimpse of the change in the great-granddaughter's expression, and the wrinkles on her face couldn't help but rippling away.
He stood up with a smile and came to greet Li Wuyou himself.
Even the address has become more friendly.
"Something important."
Li Wuyou's face was respectful and gentle as always, and when he spoke, he glanced at the door again.
"Retire, little one."
The servants of the Zhao family closed the door and retreated.
Li Wuyou glanced at Zhao Liuli who was standing there pretty.
"Xiao Li is not an outsider."
"Besides, the old man also has some things to tell my nephew about her later."
Zhao Sifang said with a smile.
He wanted the two of them to have a chance to get in touch, so he insisted on keeping his great-granddaughter.
"Such a beautiful age."
Li Wuyou glanced at the girl with a flowery face, bright eyes and white teeth, and even a little affection for him, and said with a smile,
"It's a pity!"
"Nephew, what does this mean?"
Zhao Sifang was taken aback by Li Wuyou's words, showing surprise on his face.
"That is to say, he died too early!"
Li Wuyou's smile suddenly turned cold!
