Qinling Xiaozhuang

  Li Yuanxing's tone and manner of speaking were strange, but that feeling was infectious to many people, even Li Er was moved.

  Li Yuanxing also has his own small abacus, this is the Great Tang, where famous generals and ministers are renowned throughout the world. He calculates that a few months later, Emperor Li Er of the Great Tang will recognize him as a brother, and those imperial historians will say something about it, even these literary people won't have a good impression of themselves.

  Not to mention those young members of the Li clan who looked at them with hostile eyes.

  Wish to live in peace here, send a knife to Qin Qiong and owe him a favor.

  Then don't want anything else, be honest and be an ordinary person, and don't let anyone think that you will take advantage of something.

  This way, I can live a bit longer. In the future, maybe there will be some opportunity to make some contributions and get some small rewards. With Li Er as the greatest backing in the world, I will definitely have the chance to survive in the Great Tang.

  To live as a wealthy gentleman.

  Low-key is absolutely the way to go.

  Indeed, Li Yuanxing's sudden change of attitude made Li Er feel happy first. There was one thing that Li Yuanxing had guessed wrong, the Li family still had a clan, and having an extra brother for Li Er who was about to ascend to the throne was no small trouble.

  But Li Er would never take back what he had said.

  Moreover, having already made up his mind to acknowledge this younger brother, he had originally intended to explain things to Li Yuanxing, such as postponing the ceremony of acknowledging a younger brother or finding another opportunity, but now Li Yuanxing has solved this trouble for him.

  "Your Highness!" At this time, Qin Qiong stood out.

  Qin Qiong stepped forward: "This knife is too valuable!"

  "Take it!" Li Er didn't need to give a reason or make an excuse. He could naturally see that this knife was extraordinary.

  Qin Qiong rushed to Li Yuanxing and gave him a salute: "Build a villa, let me take care of it!" Qin Qiong's tone was also absolutely not something that Li Yuanxing could refuse. The iron and blood aura made Li Yuanxing fearful, yet excited.

  "Good!" Li Er took over and answered on behalf of Li Yuanxing.

  This mysterious young man seems to be well-behaved and not greedy, but will there be any conspiracy. Fang and Du exchanged a glance, then shifted their gaze to Li Jing, who nodded slightly.

  Investigations must be conducted.

  No one is more suitable than Li Jing to send someone to investigate.

  "Tonight, I'll accompany my brother for a drink. There's no rush to return tomorrow morning." Li Er said to Li Yuanxing, then turned around and said to Qin Qiong: "One thing doesn't bother two masters, arrange fifty riders from Uncle Bao for my brother Yuanxing."

  It's safe to leave Chang'an for now, and the bloodshed here has only just begun.

  Kenji and Motoki are dead, but they still have their cohorts and those die-hard followers.

  The imperial court will also have a thorough cleanup, and Li Er has already begun preparing for his own throne.

  The real battle has just begun, Li Yuanxing's martial arts are not good, it can be seen from riding a horse. As for the origin of that knife, Li Er had no interest in asking, and it was certain that Li Yuanxing couldn't use it.

  Li Er was right on this point.

  In Li Er's eyes, a knife is for killing people. Unlike Li Yuanxing who only uses the knife to intimidate and make fake slashes, they are not on the same level.

  That night, while having dinner with Li Er, a noblewoman suddenly exclaimed that Yuan Ba let the depressed Li Er be happy for a while. After reintroducing themselves, the legendary Changsun and Li Yuanxing became acquainted, Li Er acknowledged Li Yuanxing as his younger brother, and Changsun was in agreement.

  Because of Li Yuanxing's appearance, Li Shimin was able to walk out from the shadow of killing his brother and imprisoning his father, this alone is enough.

  Moreover, Li Yuanxing is not greedy and does not seek anything. What's most important is that he looks extremely similar to Li Yuanba. The only difference is that he doesn't have that bravery. It's worth noting that the brother Li Shimin loves the most is Yuanba, and the older brother Yuanba respects the most is Shimin. Moreover, the person Yuanba relies on the most is Changsunshi.

  Thinking of Li Yuanba, both Li Er and his wife felt a bit downcast.

  They are absolutely not sad because of the power left by Li Yuanba if he is still alive. Even if Li Yuanba is still alive, Jiancheng and Yuanyi will still suppress the entire Qinwangfu. But none of this matters. What makes Mr. and Mrs. Li sad is the departure of this 16-year-old brother, the loss of a close relative.

  That night, Li Er spoke very little and hardly mentioned his past military exploits. He also didn't ask about Li Yuanxing's background. At the main table, there were only three people, and after they finished eating in silence, Li Er only said one sentence: "Uncle Bao, we are sworn brothers for life and death!"

  The next morning, Qin Qiong appeared outside the city gate. Today, Li Yuanxing had changed into a Tang suit.

  "Whoever you are, as long as you're sincere to the King of Qin, I, Qin Qiong, will be sincere to you. Stay away from Chang'an for half a year, the blood in Chang'an hasn't flowed enough yet. The number one city under heaven is written with blood. Anyone who dares to block this path will be trampled into pulp." Qin Qiong said and beckoned to a middle-aged military officer beside him.

  Qin Qiong introduced Li Yuanxing: "Old Wolf, follow a certain person for many years. If there's something, come find that person!"

  After saying that, Qin Qiong turned around and left. He came to see off Li Yuanxing, mainly to warn him, especially for someone like Li Yuanxing with an unclear background. Secondly, it was to reassure him, Qin Qiong knew there would definitely be an investigation, and there would definitely be some trouble. But he would keep him safe, for the sake of the Qin King as well as for Li Yuanxing himself.

  Lao Lang is not a wolf, nor does he have the surname Wolf. The term "Lao Lang" is an honorific title for the master of the house. Lao Lang has followed Qin Qiong for many years and never had his own home. Qin Qiong regards him as one of his own family members, and calling him Lao Lang carries this meaning.

  Choose the old wolf, for surveillance and protection!

  Lao Lang was originally named Meng Qi, but Lao Lang was called more often. The people of the Qin Manor all call him Lao Lang now.

  Apart from the fifty soldiers, there were over a hundred artisans, dozens of servants, kitchen maids, and personal attendants, totaling more than two hundred people. The materials for building the manor could be obtained locally, and the carts carried grain, with over forty or fifty large carts, as well as some simple furniture and several carts of military tents.

  This road took a bit longer, and it wasn't until evening that they finished walking the more than 40 miles.

  Li Yuanxing, who had been tired from the journey, fell asleep as soon as he got into his tent and didn't even have a dream before waking up to broad daylight. Outside the tent, everything was bustling with activity and drying up quickly.

  When Li Yuanxing walked out of the tent, he was truly wondering if he was dreaming. The fact that he had come to Datang was still not fully adapted, yesterday he was just thinking about how he could survive, today seeing this scene in front of him, it seemed a bit unreal.
