Laughing at Chang'an

"The young master is a sincere person."

In the silence, someone clapped his hands and said, the voice sounded a bit familiar, Li Shen looked around, who was not the fat man who spoke first?

"Well, I see that the young master is tired from the boat and the car, and he doesn't have time to think about these issues. You might as well go and have a rest first. Anyway, we people have waited for so long, so it's not too late... When you think about it, come back ,how?"

This fat man was probably one of his own, he handed the ladder up, Li Shenshun sloped down, nodded and said hello, and walked down the stage without waiting for others to speak.After he got out of the gate and returned to the dark corridor, he asked the old man Yu who was walking in front: "Who is that fat man?"

"Li Qingyi from Huizhou, in terms of seniority, you have to call him cousin."

Li Shen nodded noncommittally, and wrote down the name in his heart.Then Xu Shijia made trouble as soon as he came up. It seemed that he was here to canvass for his grandson. He was blocked and had nothing to say. This round was a complete defeat.

Naturally he was in a bad mood.

A group of people walked out of the passage in silence, and returned to the cold wind and rain in Hanshanji. The old man Yu who was walking in the front suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Young master, I have something to say."

Li Shen looked at him.

"speak."

"I know you value love and righteousness, and you have deep feelings for Geng Jun, but do you think this is enough?"

Old man Yu looked at Li Shen without hesitation, his eyes full of sincerity.

"When a man is alive, he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, and look up to others for the rest of his life and look at others' faces. Can you bear it?"

He didn't wait for Li Shen to answer, he just shook his head.

"You can't bear it, you are not like that, you are not like us... I grew up watching you grow up, you were not born to be a dog, I don't know what method Na Gengyan used to tame you post, but it cannot change your nature."

"Loyalty is a ridiculous thing to say. Brothers are against each other, and father and son are against each other. How can you guarantee that it will not change one day?"

Li Shen was blocked again speechless.

He was speechless because the other party was right... Even such a question, he had asked himself.

--does it worth?For that one promise.does it worth?For a Gengyan.

...He doesn't know.

At the end of the silence, Li Shen closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "I promised him."

——I want to accompany him to see Chang'an Peak.

Again and again, time and time again, the words that surround my ears like a curse, the city wall of Guanzhou, the snow cave in the north, the burning city, the end of the South China Sea, the top of Baishan, the roof of the guild hall...

You want to stay with me, you want to stay with me, you want to stay with me, you want to stay with me...

—Okay, I'll accompany you.

——Maybe I owed you in my previous life, and I want to pay you my whole life.

………………

Back on the boat, a servant came to report that Li Tieyi had woken up.

"Are you awake?" Li Shen untied the rain-soaked cloak and threw it to Old Man Yu, "Take me to have a look."

Li Tieyi's room was filled with a strong smell of medicine, and there was still a bowl of unfinished medicine soup on the table. He leaned against the bed, looked at Li Shen who came in, and nodded weakly.

"You're here...come and sit."

Li Shen sat by the bed and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.Li Tieyi smiled weakly and shook his head at him.

"You know it all... I am not a competent father..."

If Li Tieyi was sitting there properly, Li Shen would probably tell him to shut up politely, but now that he was dying, he couldn't say anything serious, so he frowned slightly.

"I didn't intend...to make it like this, I...cough cough..."

Li Tieyi covered his mouth and coughed and bent over. Li Shen stretched out his hand to support him, frowned and said, "You should lie down and rest, I will find a way to get the antidote for you, don't worry."

"Ahem...it's okay, I've had enough to live..." Li Tieyi spoke intermittently, but was pushed back on the bed by Li Shen with a bit of force. He looked at Li Shen with a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction, "As long as you can take my seat well, I will... ahem... die without regret..."

Li Shen opened his mouth, swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and changed his words: "I won't let you die."

Li Tieyi was so weak that he couldn't speak, he just looked at him and smiled slightly, feeling relieved, satisfied, and worried.

What he wanted to say, but at this moment he really couldn't say it, Li Shen will be tucked up in the corner, stood up, turned and left without saying a word.After he left, after a while, the old servant in gray came in from the door, helped Li Tieyi, and fed him the unfinished medicine.

"Master, as far as I can see, the young master is probably... still unwilling."

Li Tieyi looked indifferent, and said in a low voice——

"Then I'm going to die."

………………

Even though it was a rest, it was impossible to leave the whole room there for too long. About half an hour later, Li Shen put on the dried cloak, held the stove in his hand and set foot on the journey he had just walked once again.

There was still no expression on his face, and old man Yu couldn't tell what was going on in his mind. This time when he went back, he had to face the question that he couldn't answer just now.

Can Li Shen have an answer in such a short time?Is the answer satisfactory?

The group returned to the dark gate, and the old man holding the wine took a step forward, but Li Shen raised his hand and waved him back.This time, he didn't ask anyone to open the door, but pushed open the door in front of him with his own hands.

The whole room looked back.

Li Shen still walked through the tables without looking sideways, but when he passed a table near the rostrum, he stopped and took a small basket of peanuts from the table.

He sat on the rostrum with peanuts in his hand.

"Which one is Xu Shijia?" Li Shen asked knowingly, "Take out the antidote."

The old man who was named raised his head, hesitated for a moment, stood up and saluted, and said, "Are you calling me? This, the antidote? I don't know what you are talking about..."

"Li Tieyi has been poisoned by septic blood, and the antidote is in your hands." Li Shen interrupted him, and said a speech that shocked the audience indifferently. He picked up a peanut and hardened his fingertips. Shengsheng crushed open the shell, squeezed the nuts and put them into his mouth, looked at Xu Shijia who was full of astonishment and said indifferently: "I can't come up with an antidote, I will kill you all over the house."

"you!"

"I think you have misunderstood the meaning of sitting here. I am here not to let you choose sides, but to tell you that you have no choice." Li Shen squeezed the peanut without raising his head, his voice was not loud, but Like thunder in a silent hall.

"Think about the future, think about the future, it is better to think about the present."

He raised his head, his dark one-eyed quietly watching the crowd.

"I heard so much from you just now, now, I will tell you my truth."

"My reasoning is that if you are disobedient, you will be wiped out."

"It's unreasonable!" An old woman jumped up and pointed at Li Shen angrily, "You are too..."

Her voice stopped abruptly, and a peeled peanut was nailed to the tip of her tongue, nailing all the words back. The old woman's eyes widened in shock, and she reached out tremblingly to take the peanut nailed to the tip of her tongue Ren, I saw a blood pit visible to the naked eye recessed there, and the blood overflowed like a spring.

She subconsciously wanted to scream.

"If you make another sound, I will kill you." Li Shen said.

A hand covered her mouth from the side, but it was her husband. The two sat down with pale faces. The old woman trembled with pain, and tightly held her husband's arm. The latter dared not speak out. Looking at Li Shen, his face was livid.

Li Shen was still peeling the peanuts. He only had one hand, and he could only crush the peanut shells. The shell residues as fine as dust fell to the table, forming a small pile.

"The truth in this world, after all, is just to see whose fist is bigger... You and the glory are both prosperous and hurt, and you hope it will be good, not that it will become bad... Now that Li Tieyi is not dead, You should stand by his side, because he is the master of Huiguang, am I wrong?"

"The sooner the matter is resolved, the better. The smaller the disturbance, the better. Who still thinks about speculating and thinking about the future, I will send his whole family to heaven now."

Li Shen glanced at Old Man Yu who was standing by the stage. The latter understood, walked up to the stage, spread out the proclamation written by the other party, and placed it on the rostrum.

"From left to right, come up one by one, sign, draw and press your fingerprints on it. If you don't want to say it now, I will give you a good time, so that I won't kill you one by one when the time comes."

The proclamation, of course, was for Li Mubai, and if he signed it, it would be tantamount to standing on the opposite side with Li Mubai when it was announced... Just as Li Shen said, they have no choice but to sit here.

So domineering.

There are many people in this battle who are unwilling and want to incite others to fight against Li Shen, to see if he dares to kill everyone... However, in this hall, there are people with all kinds of thoughts, How can it become one heart?

"Young master's approach, I have learned a lesson." When it was the fat man's turn to come up, he signed the calligraphy and painting, but he was not in a hurry to leave. He stood in front of Li Shen and took a peanut from the small basket on the table. Peeled open two nuts, handed one to Li Shen, and ate the other by himself.

He patted his fat palms, and grinned at Li Shen.

"Good! Good! Good!!!"

In front of everyone, the fat man yelled three times, laughed loudly, and left laughing wildly——

"Heavenly overlord! My Li family should be happy! Hahahahaha!"

………………

At the end of the song, the people also dispersed, old man Yu held the paper full of signatures in his arms, and walked in the front with a lantern to lead the way, but his mood was completely different from when he came.

"How many people do you have that you can use?" Li Shen asked from behind with the stove in his hands.

Old man Yu was startled, realized it, and said with a smile: "It's more than enough to destroy a family and a family. You don't need to worry about it. After the announcement is issued, if there are people who backtrack on what you say, your words will definitely not be missed."

Li Shen nodded, said no more, walked out of the passage, and went downstairs along the stairs, approaching the gate of the warehouse, the cold wind was blowing in his face.He covered his mouth and coughed in a low voice, tightening his collar tighter.

Walking out of the warehouse, a white flower suddenly floated in front of his eyes, and Li Shen raised his head in a daze.

—It’s snowing.
