"What a great Situ Wushu." In the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital, an old man looked at the book in his hand and said, "Butler, can it be updated this month?"
"Master, not yet... We have sent people to Jiuxiao City to prepare. Once the next chapter is updated, we will send it to you as soon as possible." A servant with white hair and beard next to him said.
The old man laughed loudly: "I am very curious, who is the person who can write such a Machiavellian strategy? Moreover, Li Bolong's experience is really too real, as if the person who wrote this book has personally experienced a change in imperial power. I am really looking forward to the next development more and more.”
The servant said humbly: "This set of books has become popular in the entire Yue Kingdom. Everyone is waiting for the update of this book. However, this book comes from Jiuxiao City. Who is the person who wrote this book? No one Know."
"He must be an expert outside the world. This person must be a talent... Maybe, finding this person can help me become the Situ Wushu of our era..." A cunning look appeared in the old man's eyes, like a beautiful fox.
The servant clasped his fists and lowered his head: "We have sent people to check..."
…
In the backyard of the Li family in Jiuxiao City, Li Hugo said: "Last time, I saw with my own eyes my father escorting dozens of slaves to build the imperial tomb. Do the slaves who built the imperial tomb still have a way to live? In the end, Wasn't he buried as a sacrifice?"
"Silly boy, in fact, some things you see with your eyes may not be true." Shi Xiu said.
This sentence caused waves in Li Yuguo's heart. He narrowed his eyes and wondered, could it be that he had overlooked something
Perhaps Shi Xiu realized that she had let something slip, so she quickly said: "A while ago, how do you feel about the eldest lady of the Wang family? Her family is very willing to marry our Li family."
"Not very good." Li Huguo said dragging his cheeks.
"You are not young anymore. When your father was seventeen, he was already married to your mother and I. Now you don't even have a match. Could it be that you like Mu Wan'er?" Shi Xiu asked, after all, Mu Wan'er , Li Huguo, and Bai Long are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. It is not surprising that there is affection between childhood sweethearts.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuguo denied it outright: "I don't like that tigress! Besides, with her temper and ready to draw a sword at every turn, if she really got married, wouldn't she have to be frightened every day and have her neck touched every now and then? ?”
"Why are you touching your neck?" Shi Xiu asked in confusion.
Li Huguo smiled and said, "See if your neck is still there."
Shi Xiuxiao's flowers were trembling. She was indeed one of the beauties in Jiuxiao City when she was young. She said, "You know how to make your mother happy. Then tell her, do you have a girl you like in your heart?"
"As for the one I like, I really don't have one. No matter what, I must marry a woman who is as gentle and virtuous as my mother. What a tigress, you are a lady, I don't care about you!" Li Hugo said.
Shi Xiu scratched Li Huguo's nose: "You may be a talker, but you are much better than your father. Your father is too upright. Sometimes just one sentence can make people angry to death!"
"Mom, you were so beautiful when you were young, how did my father catch you?" Li Hugo said.
Li Yuguo knew that when Shi Xiu was young, she was the most talented woman in Jiuxiao City. She was good at all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially painting. Shi Xiu's paintings were the first choice for collections by famous artists. Shi Xiu had both talents and talents. His appearance is the object of pursuit by the famous young masters of Jiuxiao City. Li Yuguo's father, Li Zhen, is engaged in such a dirty business and is dull. Li Yuguo is also curious about how his bastard father managed to catch up with such a beautiful wife. of.
Seemingly thinking of what happened in the past, Shi Xiu said: "When Wei Niang was young, she was indeed somewhat famous in Jiuxiao City."
"It's still somewhat famous. I heard that people who want to see my mother are queuing up, stretching for ten miles from the south of the city to the north of the city." Li Huguo said with a pout.
"Don't interrupt. When your father and I met, it happened to be at a poetry meeting. I met your father, so he passed by the door of my house every time. I was in the boudoir at that time and could only open the door. The window looks out at the street. After all, it’s better for my daughter’s family to stay out of the public eye before getting married, but your father has his hands under my house every evening... "
As he spoke, a smile appeared on Shi Xiu's face: "At that time, your father was performing acrobatics downstairs in different ways every day. Sometimes he would suddenly do a trick or tell me a few jokes. In fact, at the beginning , I felt that your father was shameless and didn’t like her at all, even a little bit annoying, but then your father suddenly disappeared."
"My father disappeared? He has a new love?" Li Hugo said.
"You brat, don't talk about your dad like that. It turns out that your dad's family encountered some troubles. I was also very worried at the time, so I went over to help. After going back and forth, we became familiar with each other. However, because of your father's life experience, my dad's side So I was very opposed to it at first, but because I insisted on marrying your father, the two of us got together. Your father was afraid of poverty, so after the wedding, he worked hard to make money."
"Was my father very poor before?" Li Huguo asked.
"Well, the whole family was infected with the disease, and now he is the only one left. At that time, there was a special disease in Jiuxiao City that made many people sick, but this special medicine was in the hands of a few people. , the price of medicine is very expensive, so you either spend all your wealth to buy a few special medicines, or... wait for death at home, it was a long time ago." Shi Xiu said.
Even though his mother said so, Li Huguo still couldn't forgive his father. Since he suffered so much when he was young, why did he do this black-hearted business now
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early." Shi Xiu said, "Mr. Mu from the academy asked someone to come over and talk about today's situation. You... don't make him angry these two days."
"Hey, but I understand everything the teacher teaches. Maybe my level is higher than him!"
"You talkative!" Shi Xiu looked at Li Yuguo dotingly, turned around and left.
Enjoying this hard-won maternal love, Li Yuguo was naturally very happy. This long-lost feeling seemed to have completely healed his heart. He asked Azhong to get hot water, took a bath himself and planned to go to bed. But at this moment, there was a rustling sound coming from the roof.
"Someone is there!" Li Yuguo frowned and immediately opened the closet with bare feet. Inside the closet was a treasured sword that he had hidden. He had not neglected his martial arts skills over the years.
