After a heavy snowfall, people who were waiting for a good year next year were very happy, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan became sad.
"Why is it snowing? You have to adjust and speed up." Wang Juan looked at Bai Yunfeng wearing white clothes without any surprise, only thinking that it affected the plan.
"It’s also good to be a little bit difficult. Let Chide Zuzan and Mo Jilian learn about the capabilities of our troops, and let Japan and Silla understand the gap with Datang. It can also make the people in the capitals of northern Hebei Province extinguish that one. The heart waiting to rekindle."
Zhang Xiaobao tightened his collar and stood next to a big tree, leeward.
Wang Juan did not continue to complain, looking at the sky, "I hope the sky will be better when the performance is real, otherwise there will be less deterrence."
…
Seeing the heavy snowfall, in order to give Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan more preparation time, Li Longji chose to take the waterway and the canal after walking for a while, just to let the people who came to know what an icebreaking trip was. .
A dull explosion sounded on both sides of the canal, and the ship with thick iron plates on the bow was crushed all the way. When the sound of ice cracking came to the ears of everyone who followed Li Longji’s team, it was originally The face of the caring person who was ready to see the joke finally changed color.
Coming out of the cabin, Chi De Zuzan picked up the clairvoyance lent to him and listened to the blasting in front of the canal, watching the posture of the big ship rushing past the ice, saying it was not shocked that it was fake.
"Datang's military force is so powerful, I don't know what will happen to Huashan this time, hey..." Chi Dezu praised the hat on his head, felt that the wind was a little weaker, and looked at the people on both sides of the Caoqu and watching the ice burst. The crowd looked at the chain suspension bridge across the canal and exclaimed.
Princess Jincheng, whose complexion has changed significantly, stood beside Chi De Zuzan, her eyes softly placed in every place in her vision, hearing Chi De Zuzan's words, raised her eyebrows slightly, and whispered to Chi De Zuzan: "Zampo, it's better to wait to return to Tubo and learn from the situation above the Yellow River here, and build a few chain bridges there to facilitate pedestrians."
"Don't even think about it." Chi Dezu praised back to Princess Jincheng.
Princess Jincheng didn't say much any more. She understood what Chide Zuzan meant. In terms of iron smelting technology, Tubo was not as good as the Tang Dynasty. Even if she wanted to build a chain suspension bridge, she did not have a suitable iron ring to use.
What's more, it is difficult to find the piers of the pressure bridge with stones. They are made of large pieces of copper and iron. The iron that is not enough for weapons is even more lacking. As for the cement pouring, the Zhang family will not sell it to outsiders.
For the cement used in Datang's own territory, even if it is paid for, it needs to be fixed by the people sent by the Zhang and Wang family before the construction is allowed. I don't know how many people who want to get the cement hate the roots of the teeth that the Zhang Wang family hates.
A burst of children’s laughter attracted the attention of Princess Jincheng. She picked up her clairvoyance and saw that on the south bank of the Caoqu, a group of children were putting paper kites. The paper kites that were originally released in spring are also so impressive in winter. Happy.
Take a closer look, the paper kite is not paste paper, but pink silk cloth. A big phoenix-like bird is flying in the wind, with its long tail swinging gently, setting off the snow scene more. Brilliant colors.
A child wearing gorgeous clothes, under the guard of the housekeeper, happily released a thread that was wrapped with a paper kite. A group of children in ordinary clothes surrounded him, clapping their hands, jumping and laughing.
After a while, it was obvious that the child from the wealthy family stuffed the thread board held by the hand into the hand of a child from an ordinary family nearby, and then took the hand of another ordinary child and laughed together.
"Don't think of riches, evils, and poor, children with paper kites have fun together. The snow is not cold, and the colorful phoenixes are flying and warm." Princess Jincheng looked at it, with a smile of relief on the corner of her mouth, murmured in admiration.
Chi De Zuzan heard the people of Jincheng Princess and saw the children playing on the shore, his face became more and more ugly. He understood that the children of rich people can play with the children of ordinary people, not because the children understand unity, but This is what the adults taught.
The more the people of Datang are united, the more harmonious they live, and the harsher it is to Tubo. Tubo people with a bit of status, children will not play with the children of common people, and the contradictions are intensifying, especially for Datang. After the news continued to pass, many slaves even if they didn't speak it face-to-face, they were still discussing when Wang Juan could lead his troops to take down Tubo and change their status.
This is not a good phenomenon. Otherwise, once a war arises, the people will have no defensive heart, and the soldiers will have no ambition to die. Who can stop Datang Tieqi from going out? Who is willing to use flesh and blood to fight when Datang's spears are shooting
With a secret sigh, Chi De Zuzan turned his head to look at Princess Jincheng, whose complexion was much better than when he was in Tubo, barely squeezing out a smile, and said to him:
"Nunu, have you been playing at home in the past few days? Have you seen Concubine Wu Hui? And the Queen? This time I will spend a few days in the Tang Dynasty. I have to meet with them often. It’s windy outside, and I’m back in the cabin. Avoid it."
Princess Jincheng followed Chi De Zuzan into the cabin, and waited for Chi De Zuzan to drink tea. Then she said to him: "Zampo, Queen Wang and Zhang Wang’s family have close contacts, but Concubine Wu Hui has many complaints. In the harem, the King and Queen are in charge, and there is nothing major."
If Princess Jincheng had a choice, she would not be willing to help Chi De Zuzan to find out this kind of news, but she couldn't help it, she couldn't always stay in Datang and return to Tubo.
For her, Datang is better. She breathes more comfortably than in Tubo. Don’t look at the sky in Tubo. In some places, if you want to cook an egg, you can’t cook it, so you can only fry and eat it. The food is much monotonous. , How can it be compared to what I have eaten in the palace for a few days.
Chi De Zuzan also knew that the food in Tang Dynasty was delicious, but he didn't put his thoughts on it. Hearing the words of Princess Jincheng, his eyes brightened, and he lowered his voice and asked, "But it can make people impeach the Queen and the Zhang family. Conspiracy... You understand."
"No." Princess Jincheng shook her head slightly, "Your Majesty already knew about the relationship between the Queen and the Zhang family. Not only the Queen, but also other clan members are in contact with the Zhang family. It is said that the impeachment of Zhang Wang is always the case. The memorials of the family are all detained by His Majesty, and will not be sent to the letter. Whenever someone in the court talks about it, other officials will change the topic."
"Oh? How can King Zhang's family get the sacred favorite like this?" Chi De Zuzan really didn't know the internal use was different. "Then Concubine Wu Hui mentioned how to deal with King Zhang's family?"
Princess Jincheng shook her head again, "Unexpectedly, she went to her concubine to find out what Zampo's countermeasures were. The concubines heard that Concubine Wu Hui had done something to the Zhang Wang family. Every time they ended in failure. Now they are just complaining or have other thoughts. But it never showed it."
"Then there is no way?" Chi Dezu mumbled unwillingly.
"Kill Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan." Princess Jincheng said a way.
"I... If I could kill the two of them, I would have done it a long time ago. I'll discuss the matter again, gracious, and discuss it again." Chi De Zuzan temporarily dismissed the consideration of directly dealing with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.
As the boat continued to move forward, Chi De Zuzan moved another thought, and told Princess Jincheng, “In this period of time, we should ask more about Datang, especially things that I can’t touch with Tubo, such as how cement is. Did it? Why can clairvoyance see far away, how to make long and short guns, Tubo's stability depends on these."
"Zanpu, don't worry, the concubine will ask about it." Princess Jincheng agreed very happily. As for what she was thinking in her heart, Chi De Zuzan didn't know.
The team is still moving slowly towards Huayin County. The journey that could be reached in three days has been dragged to about ten days. After Li Longji wanted to come, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan would be able to prepare. After all, their abilities lie in Where is it
…
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were busy under Baiyun Peak, Xiaobei and a group of people ran to the county office in Huayin County.
Regarding the reception of Li Longji and his entourage, officials from the State of Washington, officials from Huayin County are only responsible for following orders, and they are not very busy.
When Beckham brought a group of guards to the door, Fang Yang, the magistrate of Huayin County, Fang Xuri personally greeted him, and he was caught by something terrible.
People in various government offices close to the capital knew about the nine children of Wang Wang's family, and understood the extent of the power of the nine children, but they could not be targeted by them when the emperor was about to come.
Fang Yang, who was receiving carefully, thought that nothing could happen. Who knew that as soon as he entered the gate of the Yamen, Zhang Xiaobei looked around and found something wrong.
"County Majesty Fang, why didn’t I see a place dedicated to receiving the people? When the people came, did they still let them wait outside? It’s okay in summer. Find a shady place to hide when it’s hot. Could it also be possible in winter? Found a warm place? Where did the corresponding amount of hospitality fees given by the imperial court each year be spent?"
Xiaobei did not find a house to provide the people with rest and food and drink. She stretched out her hand to hold Fang Yang's sleeve, and raised her head to ask. Fang Yang's big cute eyes blinked and blinked, making Fang Yang depressed for a while.
No matter how cute Beibei is, she also turned into a demon in Fang Yang's eyes at this time. Which pot is not opened or which pot is to be lifted? Do you still have to ask, if the share given every year is really used for the people, Didn’t the yamen lose income? Why don't you need money when you go out to do errands? Really thought it was all like your Zhang family
Thinking like this, but you can’t say it like that. Fang Yang’s mouth tried hard to pull at both sides, even if he smiled, he replied to Xiaobei: “Master Zhang doesn’t know that there are many people who love and do evil in Huayin County. They don’t work, but just want to be happy. A special reception place is set up in the yamen, and they eat and drink in the yamen. Therefore, the yamen removes the reception place."
"It's so easy and bad? What do you mean?" Beckham turned to look at Xiao Yuan.
"I just like to live a comfortable life, but don't want to work. I only ask for it without paying." Xiao Yuan replied.
"That's it, it's right to say that there is no reception place." Xiaobei still looked up at Fang Yang and said.
Fang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Zhang is right."
"Then why are there no such people in Sanshui County? As an official, isn't the county magistrate teaching his people to do good and do things? But when there is no one on the sidelines to watch? This is called Inaction, Xiao Yuan, start a memorial and play it when your majesty arrives."
Xiaobei almost didn't scare Fang Yang's heart out of his mouth with a word. He looked at the expressions of the other eight children with deep approval, and didn't know what to do for a while.
If this really makes them play a memorial, it will be over by themselves. Who doesn't know your Majesty's attitude towards the nine children? The bullet must be checked, the check must be strict, not to mention that the yamen is not so clean, but it is really good. If you want to check it, you can’t find the problem
Fang Yang didn't know what to do. The master book accompanying him was even more frightened. There was something wrong with his account. Although it wasn't too many discrepancies, once it was found out, it was a serious crime, at least it was an exemption.
Listening to Xiaobei’s suggestion, and looking at the nine children, I feel that no matter how you look at the nine children, they are very abhorrent. Why are there so many things? Don’t you understand the local difficulties
If you want to return, you have to say: "Master Zhang, the county is not easy, just listen to Master Zhang, and immediately vacate a room dedicated to receiving the people, no need to write memorials, right?"
Xiaoyuan frowned: "There are investigations on the top, and the work below is effective. The order is out early, but it is still abolished. Are you going to deal with us? Seeing our young age, just deal with it. How do I know that you will wait for us to leave? Wouldn't you continue to withdraw the place again? Close the account and let Brother Xiaohai check it."
The master book didn't expect a bunch of kid boys to answer it so badly. They wanted to bribe, then thought of the business of King Zhang's family, and threatened it intentionally, and then thought of the force of King Zhang's family, neither advance nor retreat.
Seeing that they were about to seal the account, his face turned black, "It seems that you can't directly seal the account books and can only go to impeachment. Is it possible that you have to go beyond your authority?"
"Okay, then it will not be sealed, just impeachment, let's see, Beckham, what are we going to do? What if they want to kill us, go, go and find brother and sister."
Xiao Yuan held onto Beckham with a cold face, turned around and walked out. Beckham was stunned for a moment. Then he realized and nodded: "Yeah, they didn't let the account be closed. There must be a problem. I tried hard to impeach them. Going to see the emperor's uncle in person, and talking in person, it's too shameful."
Fang Yang was silly at the first glance, he glared at the master book, his head buzzed, his eyes went dark, he stopped for a few breaths before he was relieved, knowing that he really let Xiaobei and others leave, he was finished. A few steps out of excitement, opened his hand to stop in front of Xiaobei and the others.
"If you have something to say, if you have something to say, go in and talk if you are not busy."
"Oh, no, they want to be against me, the children's team, give me up and down." Xiaobei is worrying about how to get things done, there is no chance. Seeing someone dared to stop her, this is an excuse. , Yelled, looking terrified.
As soon as Beckham called out, ten of the most stable children in the children's group took out their pistols and aimed at the group of people in the yamen.
All the people in the yamen stopped their movements. They knew what the other party was holding. Although the yamen had applied for it and the court did not give it to them, the power of this thing was still well understood, and it didn't work well.
"Hmph, I thought I was not prepared? I just applied for it with my brother and sister, and it was just right. Whoever dares to move will kill anyone. It's your turn."
Beckham clapped her hands and walked out excitedly with a smug look on her face, indicating that she has foresight.
The ten children with guns are quite nervous. They usually practice shooting, but for the first time, they are holding the gun tightly with both hands, so that they can withstand the recoil when shooting.
It’s not easy to be able to practice shooting. When Zhang Xiaobao said that when he let his children practice shooting, Wang Juan was worried that the children would not be able to withstand the recoil, or Zhang Xiaobao said, "Children in war-torn places use AKs and bazookas. How about our children with a pistol?" To win.
Usually, they are not allowed to carry it, but Xiaobei only applied for it after returning from Fangniu Village. There were only ten of them, and they were placed in the hands of the most stable children.
The people in the yamen took control, and the other children took out the handcuffs and prepared to handcuff them one by one.
At this moment, the county prime minister of Huayin County was a little far away, moving inward against the root of the wall a little bit.
"Who, do you stop, what do you mean? What are you running? Could it be that you have a ghost in your heart?" The triumphant Beckham suddenly discovered this situation, pointed at Xian Cheng and yelled loudly.
The county magistrate and other officials turned their heads at the same time, looked at the county prime minister in surprise, wondering in their hearts.
"No, I didn't run, I went to get the rope, yes, get the rope." The county Cheng said, his feet were still moving.
"Haha, grab him quickly, and shoot him when he dared to run. I didn’t expect that, I really deliberately planted flowers without blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shadows, just a small crime of greedy for money and money, even if I can’t find him, it’s nothing. It's an exile, and he is afraid of being arrested? What does this mean?"
"Yes, what does it mean?" Everyone was thinking in their hearts.
"It means that what he committed is a capital crime. Give it to me, fuck you guy." Beckham replied himself, and directed the children's group to rush up.
Xian Cheng stopped for a while, and when others thought he was going to be arrested willingly, he suddenly started and ran inside.
With a "pop", a child with a gun in his hand pulled the trigger, and the county prince blossomed on his legs, fell to the ground with a plop, and was crushed and tortured by the crowd of children. , Picking up Xian Cheng's clothes, blindfolded his head, and dragged him to Beckham.
"Go, go to my brother and sister, the magistrate Fang, other things in the yamen will not be held accountable for the time being, let me go with me." Xiaobei has greater credit and doesn't care about the little things in Huayin County.
"Yes, let's go now. Come here, help Master Zhang to take care of the county prince. Thank you, Master Zhang, and thank you, sir." Fang Yang was grateful to the county prince who was arrested, and quickly agreed, and asked Lai Yai to keep his legs still in custody. Xian Cheng, who was bleeding and crying for pain, followed Xiaobei and the others towards the foot of Huashan Mountain.
…
The first thing Li Longji did after reaching the foot of Mount Hua was to arrest the people sent by the Heishui Metropolitan Government.
The Heishui Dudu Mansion is further north than the Bohai Dudu Mansion. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s sphere of influence has never reached there. Although they are also ministers over there, they are willing to pay taxation. However, the amount of taxation is set very small and more important under various excuses. It is a mountain and forest lost, and the road is steep.
The principal who was captured by Xiao Bei from Huayin County was sent by Du Fu, the governor of Heishui County. After a long period of undercover work, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan tried almost all the interrogation methods they knew on him, and only then did they crack open his mouth.
In the beginning, the various methods that acted on the body didn't work at all, and the whole body was wounded. In the end, it was fatigue interrogation plus anesthetics and wine poured in to solve the problem.
So I began to search the mountains on a large scale, dispatched hounds, and found people hiding and a large number of fireworks buried in various dangerous places. Everyone understood that fireworks were not used to welcome Li Longji.
To catch people, a sacred decree was passed to Li Xun, who was still in Songmo Dudu Mansion, and ordered him to mobilize 20,000 elite soldiers in Jilizhou, plus his own ten thousand, recruit fifty thousand porters, and attack Heishui Dudu Mansion. , The twenty gunboats guarding the Bohai Dudu Mansion also took advantage of the time when the sea in the Bohai Bay was not freezing, trying to attack the Black Water Dudu Mansion.
People from neighboring countries who accompanied Li Longji understand that one of the reasons why Li Longji sent such a big battle was because he really wanted to level the Blackwater Dudu Mansion, and the other was for himself and others to show his power and prestige in the Tang Dynasty.
"The emperor is good." After Li Longji settled under Huashan, Xiaobei and others searched for him, no matter whether there were people from other countries, he didn't call his majesty, and didn't mention his status as a courtier. He smiled happily. Get close to Li Longji to say hello.
Perhaps it was in a good mood. Li Longji found that Xiaobei was cuter, so he hugged him up and placed it on the dragon chair beside him. He touched Xiaobei's head and said, "Okay, okay, Xiaobei has done a great job again, talk about it. , What reward do you want?"
"Hum" Xiaobei smiled shyly, and he felt like a well-behaved little girl no matter how he looked at it. If Fang Yang, the county magistrate, saw it, he would definitely think he was dazzled. This was the same master Zhang who turned his face when he didn't make a difference in the yamen. ? Or is it the ruthless girl who said to shoot and shoot
Chi Dezu Zan let out a silent sigh, and he finally knew the position of Wang Wang and his family in Li Longji's heart. It was harder to get separated than to get to the sky.
…
A group of people took a good rest for two days, and the long-awaited Huashan Lunjian began. They said it was Lunjian. Except for Datang, no one else had a sword in their hands. They could only look at it, or use their mouths to talk. This word.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan chose Baiyun Peak to show off the military strength of Datang, and everyone must walk this way.
The snow-covered peaks look majestic and psychedelic. If you don't know that Li Longji is showing national power, people from other countries are willing to experience the beauty of nature in such a scenery.
But Suyu left his position, ran near Chide Zuzan, and whispered to him: "Zanpu knows what they are going to do?"
Chi De Zuzan shook his head: "Who knows, just look at it, is it possible that you still want to climb at this time? Where's the way?"
"Go, the first battalion of engineers, come on." Just as many people were guessing how to climb the mountain, Commander Wang Juan drew his sword from his waist and waved it forward. The order was passed on, drums and gongs rang, and the flag flew.
"Ha!" A thousand soldiers from the reinforcement battalion of the first battalion shouted in unison, rushing out from the right side of the team.
Since ancient times, Huashan has been a road, but the road at this time is even more difficult. There are undulating peaks and cliffs from afar. Not to mention climbing to the top, the road that can be seen in front of you makes people feel that their legs are weak. .
When everyone guessed what a thousand people rushed out to do, the people of the first battalion of engineers had already reached under a small cliff, and they did not take the path that was not the way that ordinary medicinal pickers would take.
Fifty people in the front row ran under the cliff and kept walking. They stretched their hands back, and the people in the fifty rows came up with a long bamboo pole each, and they were caught by the people in front, "Ha, ha! "Shouting the same chant in his mouth, he ran up the cliff with a bamboo pole against the person in front of him.
The people underneath understand that this is a method used to attack the city, but the length of the bamboo pole is obviously not able to bear people to the top of the cliff. What is the use of climbing a certain distance
When everyone was puzzled, the fifty people who reached the highest point were holding the bamboo pole in one hand, and dragging the package on their back to front of them with the other. They didn't know what to take out from it, followed by a sound of gunfire. After the sound, fifty ropes flowed down from above.
The person below immediately climbed up the rope quickly, and didn't know how long they practiced. Looking at the height of six feet, they climbed to the top in a few strokes. The last person below handed the bamboo pole up and started climbing.
As soon as the bamboo pole went up, the people below raised their clairvoyance, and saw that the person who had just landed stepped on a few ropes that were fixed on the cliff so quickly, and a bamboo pole turned the person who went up first up again. It's a height of six feet.
The same sound resembling the firing of a gun rang, and the rope came down again, and the people below climbed again.
While climbing, suddenly the rocks in one place fell loose, and the people on it fell off. Amidst the exclamation of the people watching, they were pulled by the rope again, without any intention of stopping, and climbed up again.
When there was a rock protruding place and the bamboo pole could not be held up, the person on the top just started the free-hand climbing with a rope hanging from his waist. Under circumstances, the limbs of people climbing with bare hands are always supported at three points and moved slightly, and changes will only be made under special circumstances.
From time to time, the rock that was caught by someone loosened when the movement was not completely completed. People who climbed up fell down and got caught by the rope, and climbed up again and again, sometimes even with one arm and a few fingers. The rock upwards.
The people below looked thrilling, and were shocked by the speed of this climbing. In just a few moments, this battalion of engineers climbed to a distance of thirty feet.
But at this moment, a very large rock appeared in the middle. If you want to go around, you will encounter someone else's position and cannot move directly. This place will inevitably be missing a piece, just because many people think it is big. The moment Tang's soldiers would give up this line, the crowd rushed out to one person, shouting: "I'll come."
Then the man ran on the road, pulling a man from the second battalion who was preparing to run together, taking off his backpack and changing his belt while running.
When this person ran to the bottom of the cliff, he did not immediately climb along the rope, but with the strength of running, he used his hands and feet to jump up to a distance of more than three feet.
"Wow", there was an uproar in the crowd below. It seemed that the body didn't have any weight. After only a few strokes, the person reached a height of more than three feet. Then he hung the rope on the snap ring around his waist and used it again. Climbing upwards several times faster than the people in the first battalion.
It seems that this person's hands and feet only need to hit a little rocky gap, without much movement at all, the whole person is like an ape, jumping up.
"Zhang Xiaobao, he is Zhang Xiaobao." After being shocked, the people below finally recognized who this person was. Looking back, sure enough, Zhang Xiaobao, who had been with Wang Juan, disappeared.
"Isn't it just that Zhang Xiaobao is only good at economics and calculations? When can I do this kind of thing?" Standing with Chi De Zuzan, Ke Yu opened his eyes suddenly and shouted with an incredible expression on his face.
Not only him, but also people who don't know Zhang Xiaobao think so.
"Wow, wow, my brother is amazing." Xiaobei had never seen her brother make such a move in front of her. At this moment, he opened his small mouth and cheered in surprise, waving his small fist vigorously.
Only Wang Juan pursed his mouth and said softly to himself, "This is the international scammer who has made countless special police chase helpless, flying over the wall, I don't know how many faces of people who claim to be elites have been erased, well, it seems to be more powerful than then. ."
"If there is no money at home, my brother can feed us as a snitch." Beckham said confidently.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't bother to worry about what others thought. He did not allow a blank area to appear on the cliff. He took the shortest time to come down to the protruding rock, paused for a while, and looked up at the lines under the rock.
Then the body suddenly jumped up on the spot amidst the exclamation of the people below, and made a movement of raising the bar on the spot and turning forward. Halfway through the movement, the hand took out something from the backpack and the foot suddenly stretched out. , Stepping on the cliff in front of him, his body flew out parallel to the outside along the bottom of the protruding rock.
When the head just passed the position where the rock was exposed, stretched out his hands, and the thing on his hand was just on the protruding part of the rock. With a sound, the body fell downwards, just falling out of the distance of ten feet, and the arms circled around. , It happened to be wrapped around the rope that had just been nailed to the rock.
Then he swayed forward, pedaling again at the place where he was just pedaling, and the body flew away from the cliff, but the rope in the hand was not loose. With this strength, stretched the legs up, exerted the waist, and the body Draw an arc. Under the pulling of the rope, the protrusion that hits the rock is at the outermost place. With one hand, a horizontal horse came out on both legs. It buckled forward, and when the hand was loose, it was pulled again. When it stopped, the whole person had already stood on the top of the rock, and with a sound, he moved down a rope for the people below.
The people below are silly.
Gao Lishi got up from his chair and began to reconsider his godson.
