With the decision of the four old gentlemen, the matter of going to the Capital Shujian Academy is now a certainty.
But after Li Huguo returned home, he couldn't be happy no matter what. He drank tea alone in the yard.
Li Sanyuan passed by the yard, took a look at Li Yuguo, and then walked towards the master's room. At this time, Li Zhen was reading the account books. While he was reading the account books, he kept using a brush to outline the information on it, and he read carefully.
"Master." Li Sanyuan knocked on the door and said.
"It's three yuan." Li Zhen said, "Now it's just you and me, brothers. We call you brothers. I've told you ten thousand times, but you just can't change your mind."
"Haha, I'm used to it." Li Sanyuan came to Li Zhen's side, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, "The young master is going to the capital. This time it is invited by Xie Lingyun, the daughter of Xie Wuji and Grand Master Xie. Do you think we should tell the young master? the truth… "
"You don't need to tell him specifically, he came back to ask himself. He also wronged you at that time. As an elder, you were plotted by that kid." Li Zhen said with a smile.
"I'm also worried about hurting the young master, but the young master's abilities have improved again, but this capital is a place that eats people. Now that the young master is still young, is it too early to let him enter the capital?" Li Sanyuan was worried. He said, "I have no heirs, and I regard the young master as my own. After all, I watched him grow up."
"This boy is precocious and smart. I believe that everything in the capital will not be difficult for him. However, Xie Wuji used to be considered a colleague of mine. He used to be the prince's retainer... But that old boy will judge the situation and deal with it in time when the prince is in danger. He escaped, saved the lives of his whole family, and was promoted to a noble rank by that foolish king. Now he is one of the three elders, Grand Master. What a trick of creation..." Li Zhen sighed.
Li Sanyuan couldn't help but think of the tragic storm at that time. The streets and alleys of the capital were burning, and dead bodies were everywhere. It was truly a purgatory on earth.
"That old boy is not a good person, but his daughter seems to have a good relationship with Hugo." Li Sanyuan said.
"Well, so it's a good thing to go to the capital. Now the three elders, Taishi, Taifu, and Taiwei, are in charge of the government. Not long ago, Xie Wuji opened a calligraphy and sword academy, probably to atone for his sins..." Li Zhen wrote a letter from He took it out of his arms.
"This is… "
"Xie Wuji's letter. In fact, Xie Wuji had contacted me five years ago. With his cover, I was able to train so many private troops. What I can guarantee is that this old boy is at least not an enemy. Otherwise, we would have such There are many soldiers and horses, and as long as someone discovers it, I'm afraid the crime will be carried out, that is, the whole family will be executed, and the nine tribes will be killed." Li Zhen said.
"Now that we have strong troops and horses, do we have any plans for the day of the uprising?" Li Sanyuan looked at Li Zhen.
"Not yet. Next, we have to let Hugo infiltrate the imperial court. But Hugo has not liked these powers since he was a child. It may not be easy for him to infiltrate the imperial court..." Li Zhen said worriedly.
Li Sanyuan gritted his teeth: "The young master discovered the location of our barracks a while ago. What are your plans for this matter?"
"It's much earlier than I expected. It seems that my son is still quite good. If you hadn't kept your hand, I'm afraid this kid would have died. It would be difficult for you to pretend to be unconscious... This is just an opportunity. , let this kid know that his family is not easy."
"But he didn't come to us." Li Sanyuan said.
"That's because this kid is lazy. For him, one more thing is worse than one less thing. By the way, what happened to the White Bone Sorrow thing?" Li Zhen said.
Li Sanyuan took out a secret report: "This girl has handed the traitor back, and she has paid for it with merit, and everything is fine. But Bai Gu Ai is not one of our people after all. Will she not do what we say? ?”
"You don't have to worry about this. This little girl is shallow-minded and innocent, but she is very devoted to Hugo. It's just that she was a little cruel to Hugo. She didn't tell Hugo the truth. He just thought it was her betrayal. Leave him alone and leave alone." Li Zhen said.
"How about we tell Hugo the truth?"
"No, he has to dig out the truth slowly. If we tell him everything, it will make him feel disgusted. I will write a letter and ask Hugo to hand it to Xie Wuji personally after he comes to Beijing. There is something in the court. It is also a good thing to have a powerful minister take care of you." Li Zhen said.
"yes."
…
In the yard, Li Hugo looked at the moon in the sky. The moon here was light blue, which meant that this place was not the earth, and the moon was larger than the earth's moon.
"Guo'er." Shi Xiu came over, bringing two maids with her.
"Mom." Li Yuguo stood up quickly.
Shi Xiu looked at her son dotingly and said, "Guo'er, we are leaving tomorrow. I have prepared some clothes for you, as well as some travel expenses on the road..."
As he spoke, Shi Xiu choked up, with tears rolling in his eyes: "It's true, son, you have never left Jiuxiao City, my mother... I can't bear to leave you. I've been away for at least half a year, and my mother won't be able to see you in these six months. , Every time I think about this, I feel... uncomfortable in my heart."
"Mom, this is not a separation of life and death." Li Yuguo said, patting his mother's back.
Shi Xiu wiped her tears and smiled: "This is a letter your father asked you to bring. Your father has some friendship with Grand Master Xie Wuji. When you go to the capital, you can visit his old man. Grand Master Xie will definitely take care of you."
"Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. I'm a man, and I don't have to worry about being able to support myself. Even if I'm down and out, I can still sell calligraphy and painting. My handwriting is one of the best in Jiuxiao City!" Li Yuguo said with a smile.
"Silly boy." Shi Xiu laughed.
"Mom, is dad really just a warmonger?" Li Hugo asked tentatively.
Shi Xiu's expression changed, but she quickly recovered, and she said, "What's wrong?"
"No, I'm just curious..." Li Yuguo said. Seeing Shi Xiu's face, Li Yuguo had an idea. He didn't need to continue asking. There must be some secret hidden in the family.
"Your dad is a good man. Actually... you have always misunderstood your dad. It's just that you are still young. When you grow up, your dad will tell you about his business. Your dad is not a murderer. The devil of hemp, he is a good man." Shi Xiu said.
"I know, mother... When I go to the capital this time, I heard that there is not much embroidery in the capital. I will bring some back to you then." Li Hugo said.
The two of them talked about everything under the moonlight. Shi Xiu really couldn't let go of Li Huguo. Even if Li Huguo was not his biological son, the relationship he had spent with him for more than ten years was still better than his biological son.
