Chapter 212 A Misunderstanding

Under Li Yu's questioning, Li Da could only tell everyone about Baoyu's loss.Although this matter is not exposed, it is nothing to be ashamed of.

"I think back when there were thieves in Prince Zhao's mansion, this piece of jade was stolen by a big thief. At that time, I chased up and fought with this big thief for [-] rounds. In the end, both sides suffered. This big thief is good at lightness kung fu, but I I was injured, so I left other belongings and only took this piece of jade and fled. At that time, I was also seriously injured and unable to chase. If the emperor's brother Li Jing hadn't rushed to scare the robber away, I'm afraid I would have died here at that time. Although I don’t want to make this matter public, many people know about it, but they didn’t point it out. I usually say that this piece of jade is lost... The Li family of the Tang Dynasty are all jade-loving people. I don’t feel honored when the piece of jade is lost, although I have never sent anyone to look for it, but I have always felt regretful, I never thought that it would be returned to the original owner today, I am so happy.”

Stupid, everyone who has heard the story of the old banyan tree is stupid.This piece of jade was not left to her by Li Da, Li Da lost this piece of jade a long time ago.No wonder Zong Xin kept saying that there were many loopholes in this story. Sure enough, as Zong Xin expected, the old banyan tree was lying.

But in retrospect, maybe Li Da lied and didn't know.

Li Yu asked curiously: "Uncle San, I heard that when you competed with my father for the throne, you had a big fight. Is there such a thing?"

"How can there be such a thing? We have never fought at all. Brother Huang's martial arts are so high, we have no chance to fight. What's more, being a prince is so free and happy. How tired is your father? I spend a lot of time drinking all day , Is it really interesting to be an emperor, the emperor's elder brother goes to war in the south and north, and also handles the government affairs? I can't see it."

Li Da's words made everyone dumbfounded again, but after thinking about it carefully, what Li Da said made sense, what good is being an emperor?He was exhausted to death, not because he wanted to protect the foundation of the Li family, but the rest of the Li family lived happily, but he was the only one who was exhausted to death.

But it also depends on the person, Li Jing is willing to bear this burden, and likes the feeling of being an emperor.Of course it is good to be an emperor, but being a prince is not bad either.

"Why do you ask this? Could it be that this has something to do with the recovery of Baoyu?"

Li Yu looked at Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin then nodded, and Li Yu recounted the story of the old banyan tree.Hearing that, Li Da almost rushed up and beat him up, but he didn't expect that he was so useless.But if you think about it carefully, you didn't do it yourself...

Li Da said depressedly: "I didn't give away this piece of precious jade. This piece of precious jade was really stolen by a big thief. Brother Huang can testify to this. Listen to my analysis, maybe the big thief was injured by me, and then Rescued by that girl, he was embarrassed to say that he was a thief, so he pretended to be my name. After leaving, he planned to make another vote, but because his injuries were not healed, he was killed while stealing things, so he didn’t Go back to the village and marry that girl. That girl believed the robber’s words, so she ran to King Zhao’s mansion to find me, but I was already married at that time, so I had hatred in my heart, do you think my analysis is correct?”

What a waste of talent... With such good analytical ability, he shouldn't be a prince, but a catcher.

Zhao Kuangyin and his party understood the direction of the matter. This was not a mess, but a misunderstanding.The thief did not reveal his identity, so the girl kept misunderstanding him.Why didn't she get married later? Maybe when she was killed, there was no chance for her to get married.

Li Yu said: "Uncle San, do you know the name of that thief?"

Li Da shook his head: "I really don't know about this. His martial arts are really good, and he was able to seriously injure me, but I also seriously injured him, and my martial arts are not bad. But at that time he covered his face with a black veil, I didn't recognize his appearance, not to mention that even if I saw me, I might not know who he is. Anyway, I know that this person's lightness kung fu is powerful, and his internal strength is also very good."

"So, he is a very ordinary thief." Li Yu said: "Third uncle's martial arts can seriously injure him, I believe he is not a great person, and he probably has no name in the world. This is difficult Now, who knows the name of this little thief more than ten years ago? Even if he died, no one would care."

"What do you mean? Is my martial arts so bad?"

Li Yu nodded immediately: "Anyway, you can't take my ten tricks."

Li Da really has no way to refute this point. Although Li Yu is blind, he is very talented in martial arts, and he can listen to the sound and distinguish the position as if he has eyes. Let alone ten moves, Li Da doesn't even believe that he can catch him five moves.If I wasn't Li Yu's third uncle, I'm afraid I would die within ten strokes.

Although Li Hongji and Li Hongmao's talents are not first-class, they are not too bad.And with the guidance of a famous teacher, their martial arts are not as strong as Li Yu, but they are not too weak.I am just content with having fun, so I am a little slack about martial arts.

Now Li Hongji and Li Hongmao together are not Li Yu's opponents, which makes the two brothers very embarrassed.But it's all right now, Xi'er has stolen the secret book of the wedding dress magic skill from Bai Yunfei, and Li Hongji has already asked the masters in the house to start practicing, and then transferred their martial arts to him little by little. It won't take long for his own martial arts to be far superior Third brother, at that time, there is no need to worry about third brother taking the throne.

"Congjia, the third uncle is an elder after all, can you show him some face?" Li Hongji said: "Although the third uncle is poor in martial arts and has a bad character, he likes to talk nonsense when he has nothing to do. He is ugly and has no self-awareness. Good family woman, but he is our elder after all, save face when talking, and say twenty tricks next time. Uncle, are you okay, your face is ugly. Cong Jia, you see that you are so angry with Uncle What's up?"

Everyone looked at Li Congjia with contempt, it was clear that he was the one who made Li Da so angry, and even said it was Li Yu's problem.If what he said just now were someone else, Li Da might really turn his back on him.But this is his nephew, Li Da knows this bastard, he speaks without intention, but the truth he speaks is harsh.What's more, he is still under the Great Tang East Palace, how could there be a dispute with him?

The martial arts of Li Jing's generation are not very good, only Li Jing's martial arts are not bad.The reason is very simple, contented with pleasure, and without the guidance of a famous teacher, so their martial arts can't get better, and it's hard to even protect themselves when they meet real masters.

However, Li Yu's martial arts in this generation are not bad. Li Yu worked hard on his own, and learned a good martial arts by visiting famous teachers.Li Hongji and Li Hongmao were urged by their master Huangfuhui day and night, otherwise they would not have the skills they have today.However, after Huangfu Hui was too old and returned to his hometown for retirement, no one dared to take care of them anymore. Recently, they didn't spend as much time practicing martial arts as eating.

Li Da said depressedly: "Oh, forget it, you will be the King of Tang Dynasty anyway, and I don't want to argue with you. This matter has nothing to do with me, but this jade is indeed mine. I don't have any objection to returning it to its original owner now." .”

Li Da has never let go of this piece of jade since he saw it. The Li family of the Tang Dynasty are all lovers of jade. Seeing this peerless jade lost and recovered, how could Li Da not be excited?
Zhao Kuangyin immediately shook his head and said: "No, we got it from a dryad through hard work. I'm afraid it's not so easy for you to take it away with just one word. What's more, we still have a promise to the old tree spirit. I can't give it to you."

"I'll give you the money."

"How much?"

This price is really hard to say, gold has a price and jade is priceless, let alone this kind of peerless gem.But Li Da was originally the owner of this piece of jade. It is a pity that this piece of jade was stolen by someone, and now he has to spend money to buy it back. How much is the right amount?

Li Da first appraised this piece of jade. Although it is a peerless jade, there are not many people who can afford to buy this piece of jade in troubled times, not to mention that there is a character Li engraved on it, so he can only sell it to people surnamed Li.Originally, this piece of jade was worth at least 5000 taels of gold, but due to many reasons, there is nothing wrong with giving it a little less.

"How about ten thousand taels of silver?"

Zhao Kuangyin said cruelly: "King Zhao, then you have made a profit. You can resell this piece of jade casually for more than this price, but you are the old owner of this piece of jade. It is not appropriate for you to spend money to buy back your own things...too much is not appropriate." .Just ten thousand taels of silver, but exchange it for gold for me, so it’s easy to carry.”

"According to what you said, the thousand taels of gold will be sent to the Dugu Clan tomorrow." Li Da took his precious jade and looked at it again and again, and Li Hongji and Li Hongmao beside him also looked at it carefully. Regardless of the material and workmanship of Baoyu, it is absolutely first-class, and there is no better and more beautiful jade than this piece of jade in the world.

Li Hongji and Li Hongmao were also greedy looking at it. Such a good piece of jade really wanted to take it for themselves.But now Li Da is still King Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, and he can occupy this piece of jade only after his death.The question is when will Li Da die?Judging by his age, it is estimated that he will have to wait for several decades. If he wants to see this piece of jade in the future, he can only go to Prince Zhao's Mansion.

Although Li Hongji and Li Hongmao like to mess around, they are not too stupid.They will not offend their third uncle because of a piece of jade.If he wants to extort tens of thousands of taels of silver from the third uncle, the third uncle will not feel bad, nor will he offend him.But if he wants to snatch the jade bought in exchange for ten thousand taels of silver, I am afraid that the third uncle will hate himself for the rest of his life.

A gentleman does not take away what others love. Although Li Hongji is not a gentleman, he also knows that everyone has a negative scale. This one cannot be offended, and other things can be discussed.

After everyone was polite to each other, they quickly dispersed.Zhao Kuangyin and Li Yu sat at a table with depressed faces. They originally thought they could dig out the old past of King Zhao Li Da, but it turned out that this incident was not what everyone imagined.The old tree spirit didn't lie, but she was deceived by the little thief.

Now that things have not come out, Zhao Kuangyin also gave Li Da the piece of precious jade. Although he received 1 taels of silver, it was a loss, and he failed to do what he promised to the old banyan tree.

She believed that the person that the old banyan tree had been waiting for was not King Zhao Li Da, but she thought it was King Zhao.Since the little thief was willing to give such a precious thing to the old banyan tree, it proved that he did not give up in chaos. Perhaps there was some special reason that prevented him from going back to the village to marry the old banyan tree.

It is because of such misunderstandings and accidents that led to today's tragic situation.The old banyan tree has turned into a monster, and has never given up on Zhao Wang Li Da.As a result, Zhao Wang Li Da knew nothing about this matter, and the nameless thief didn't know where he went, and he didn't even know his life or death.
