Chapter 246

"Mr. Li." Ji Chongyan raised his hand, "Please."

"Senior Ji!" Li Xuan actually raised his hand to return the salute, then looked at Ji Feng who was at the side, and called out, "Master Ji!"

Ji Feng stroked his beard and nodded at him with a smile, looking at the young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his eyes were even more puzzled.

Is this Mr. Li in front of him not even a little bit inferior to Ji Chonghuan?What is Second Miss Su thinking?

After taking his seat, Li Xuan pushed the door open a crack, and heard the voice of Ji Chonghuan greeting his friends in the lobby downstairs, and after listening for a while, he closed the door, temporarily blocking the noise downstairs.

Xiantong Teahouse is a place suitable for talking.

"I bribed Master Ziwei." After closing the door, Li Xuan confessed what he had done, "However, everyone knows the level of Master Ziwei. It’s irrelevant, because Li has never been involved in what happened next.”

This matter can spread. First, the person involved in it, Ji Chonghuan, is a high-profile person. Anything, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing involving him, is widely spread. Second, in recent days, many people related to Ji Chonghuan have indeed had bad luck. , It's nothing more than people talking too much.

Ji Chongyan nodded, and said: "I already know about this matter, and some people thought that Master Ziwei was bribed by me before." While speaking, he squinted at Ji Feng who was aside.

Ji Feng touched his nose and didn't say much.

Li Xuan was a little surprised when he heard the words: "I originally thought that this time the son came to ask for an explanation for my cousin."

"He is already weak, and he was taught by his parents, which has nothing to do with me."

Ji Chongyan's explanation is that no one can find fault with it, but it is a bit cold. It seems that the rumors that the relationship between the cousins ​​is mediocre is not groundless.This was a little unaccustomed to Li Xuanjing.

The relationship between the brothers of his Li family is very harmonious, such a cold and unfriendly relationship between brothers is a bit strange to him.

However, other people's affairs have nothing to do with him, and he also hates preaching such things.

Since the matter of Master Ziwei is not a problem, what is the matter that Ji Shizi is looking for him this time?Li Xuan looked at Ji Chongyan and waited for him to speak.

"I went to Jiangnan Daoyi a few days ago," Ji Chongyan said after a pause.

"Is it about tracking down Ye Mingzhu?" Li Xuan looked up at Ji Chongyan, and said politely, "Did you get something for your son?"

Ji Chongyan shook his head, and only after a brief pause did he speak again: "I met several relatives of soldiers who died in the Battle of Baidi 20 years ago in the Jiangnan Dao generation. Like yesterday."

He actually asked about this!Li Xuan was a little surprised.

Ji Chongyan paused, and then said: "Although it is difficult to count the casualties back then, the most important thing for them is to find the bones of those soldiers."

In life one must see people, in death one must see corpses, and fallen leaves must return to their roots.It is unacceptable for many relatives of soldiers and generals to set up a tomb with the old clothes they have worn.

Li Xuan was silent again when he heard the words: he is not a coward in the Li clan, but most of them are willing to throw their heads and blood for the land under their feet.For Li's disciples like him who are located behind the Li family and don't have to personally participate in the battlefield, this kind of thing can be said to be empathetic, and naturally they understand better the feeling of relatives eager to retrieve the soldiers' bones.

"My father was also at the age of a weak crown. In those years, all the heroes rose together, and it was really chaotic," Li Xuan could not help feeling emotional when he said this, "The Baidi battlefield was also sent by the imperial court half a year later. I heard that in those years Except for the people from Baidi City who left home, most of them died in the city with the soldiers."

"My father was just a little-known lieutenant in the army back then, and he followed the army to the Baidi to take care of the aftermath. It's a pity..." Li Xuan couldn't help shaking his head when he said this, "The leader of the rebellious army later set fire to the whole Baidi. The imperial city, the city was burned to ruins, no one survived in the whole city, and the corpses that were lucky enough not to be burnt into charcoal were already completely changed by the time someone cleaned them up, and it was impossible to recognize which one they were."

The names of the soldiers and generals in the Battle of Baidi are destined to be difficult to count.

He can understand the thoughts of those relatives, but it is too difficult to do it.

Ji Chongyan nodded, paused, and then said: "I heard that General Li encountered many difficulties in following the army's aftermath."

This Prince Ji is obviously a smart man, to be able to say this must be because he knows something, Li Xuan actually heard the meaning of his words, and he did not hide it, telling all the things he heard from his father .

"Back then, many soldiers and relatives of the people in the city came to the door, but grief is one thing. If Baidi doesn't clean it up, the corruption will be rampant, and it will become a dead city. Some relatives lost their minds in grief and had strong intentions The chief general at that time arrested them several times, but it was in vain. One day, the relatives were angry and pointed their swords at the general. After a soldier in the barracks died unexpectedly, the general was ruthless, "Speaking of this , Li Xuan took a deep breath and couldn't help shaking his head, "My father wasn't there at the time. When I returned to the city, I found out that a tragedy had happened. Blood flowed in rivers on the Baidi City where the war had already taken place."

"Although the main general was helpless back then, it is an indisputable fact that he killed innocent people. His Majesty ruled his Majesty strictly, and soon captured the main general and sent him to prison. In order to appease the public anger, he had no choice but to order the general to be beheaded regardless of his past military achievements."

When Ji Chongyan heard this, he moved his fingers and said, "But I heard that the general was not ordered to be beheaded."

This season's son really knows a lot!Li Xuan glanced at Ji Chongyan, and said: "Because my father is the deputy general, he is quite concerned about this matter. The chief general did not order the beheading because he was already dead before the beheading. It is said that he was so guilty that he committed suicide by taking poison. and die."

For a general with great military exploits, knowing his way back before he dies is an acceptable ending for the common people, but he sighs "a difference in thought", which can be forgiven.

The fact is most likely not.

"People who go to heavy prisons are all searched inside and out. He just wants to die. He can hit the wall or something. Where did the poison come from?" Li Xuanjing said, "So my father inquired about it later. Fan, I heard that they were poisoned by someone, and most likely they are the relatives of those who bled in Baidi City that day."

In this way, it makes sense.

Ji Chongyan nodded, and was about to speak, when he heard a loud "bang" outside, the three people in the private room were all startled, watching Li Xuan was suddenly thrown halfway behind him At the door, Ji Feng was silent, got up, and looked out together with Ji Chongyan and Li Xuanjing, and saw a young man next to Ji Chonghuan in the lobby downstairs, holding a colored cannon in his hand and looking at everyone proudly.

There was a burst of applause from the crowd in the lobby.

"They're pretty good at playing! I know it's for fun!" After watching for a while, Ji Feng muttered, and was about to reach out to close the door, when the young man holding the cannon said, "I heard Brother Zhu said that Jiang Fei Pigs have been living happily in Jiangnan Road recently!"

The door that he was about to close suddenly stopped moving. Ji Feng looked at Ji Chongyan who appeared by his side at some point, and saw him squinting at the lobby downstairs.
