Mr. Yangui

Chapter 3
"Is the fourth young master in the house?"

Xiao Ru hurried out, looked at the person, and said, "Butler Qian, the Fourth Young Master is here, please come in."

Xiao Ru welcomes an old man in his 60s into his home. It is Qian Gui, the second housekeeper of the house, holding a soup bowl in his hand as usual.

Old Qian looked at the bandages covering Li Wuchang's head, covering his originally handsome face, and said with concern, "Is the fourth young master feeling better? The lady asked the old slave to come and see the fourth young master, and I brought you tonic soup for you Fourth Young Master must drink it while it's hot."

Li Wuchang nodded and said: "It's almost done, it's hard for the old butler to run like this every time, just order the servants. When I go back, report to the aunt for me, and I will go to greet her old man tomorrow."

Old Qian looked at Li Wuchang strangely, and thought, why is this kid so polite?

But his face remained calm, he put the soup bowl on the table, and said: "Young Master Fourth, you are welcome, but Young Master Fourth does not have to go back tomorrow, Master has an order to let Young Master Fourth go to the east courtyard for dinner at noon."

Li Wuchang's scalp tightened, he got up and took Steward Qian's hand, and said nervously: "Father is usually busy with business, what can he do with me, does Steward Qian know? Could it be that I got into a fight in Fenghua Building, I can tell you It was Han Dazhi who instigated it, I have always been honest, you can always help me talk about it."

The other three were speechless.

Are you honest?Everyone in Chang'an City doesn't know that you, Li Er, are notorious troublemakers.

Steward Qian pointed out: "Fourth young master, don't worry, the master said that the Martial Arts Conference is coming, and your kung fu will be tested. The eldest son and the second son will also go."

Li Wuchang rolled his eyes, looking helpless.

Dayan established the country with martial arts, and has a strong spirit of martial arts.

The martial arts conference was set up by Yan Taizu to select martial arts talents for the imperial court. It is held every four years, and it is brilliant with the three-year scientific examination competition.

It was less than half a year before the next Martial Arts Conference.

Aspiring young people from all over the country rushed to Chang'an City to prepare for the exam, hoping to shine in the martial arts conference. If they were selected by the court, it would be a matter of Guangzong Yaozu. Family generals can be regarded as living up to what they have learned.

The most important thing is that those who perform particularly well will have the opportunity to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion for further training.

This alone is enough to attract thousands of young talents.

Li Wuchang was not interested, because he didn't know any martial arts at all, so if he went to the martial arts conference like this, he would punch someone to the ground, and he wouldn't lose his life.

It's not that he has never learned martial arts, on the contrary, he has studied it seriously for several years and has followed several masters. Unfortunately, the master said that his aptitude is too poor, and he is also lazy.

In addition, he is the concubine of the family, so he doesn't have to provoke the big responsibilities in the family, so the family's requirements for him are not so strict, and he seldom interferes with his martial arts training. Dazhi hung out together.

However, the imperial court stipulated that all sons and daughters of honorable nobles who have reached the age of 16 must participate. Li Wuchang is 17 years old this year and must participate in the martial arts conference next year.

Of course Li Wuchang didn't dare to disobey the rules set by the imperial court, he said dejectedly: "As for me, a three-legged cat, I can't even be considered a thing, what else is there for father to take the exam, just take the elder brother and second elder brother." The nanny said: "Why don't I lie on the bed and say I'm still sick and push this off."

The nanny poured a small bowl of soup, handed it to Li Wuchang, and said angrily: "The meeting is only four months away, even if you are afraid of the master and dare not go to the east courtyard, you should thank the eldest lady. After your mother passed away, the eldest lady has always regarded you as her own, for fear of wronging you. If you are weak, the eldest lady will often send you some good things to make up for your health. I send it several times a month, and it lasts five or six years.”

"Hey, I got it." Li Wuchang replied helplessly, took a sip of the soup, it was extremely delicious, just like in the past, and there was a faint strange fragrance in the soup, which was refreshing.

Seeing that Li Wuchang had already started drinking soup, Steward Qian apologized, bowed his hands and retreated.

The nanny re-bandaged Li Wuchang's wound, and seeing that he was fine, she said: "You just stay at home, and Xiaoru and I will go to the pharmacy to get medicine for you, and buy some things by the way, and you can go to the east courtyard by yourself at noon."

After that, he took Xiaoru out.

Li Wuchang shook his arms, walked out of the hall, ready to walk around, lying on the bed for a few days, his body was almost rusted.

Li's mansion is very large, divided into east and west houses.

The west courtyard was divided into seven courtyards, Li Wuchang, his two elder brothers and one elder sister occupied one each, the other three were used as guest rooms, and the remaining one was converted into a school yard.

Li Wuchang's Caiyun lives in the westernmost part, the place is spacious and quiet, there are six side rooms, two miscellaneous rooms, one kitchen, one study room, one hall, and there is a big garden in the middle, with a road at the end of the garden. long hallway.

Because Li Wuchang didn't like many people to serve him, so there were only Li Wuchang, the nanny and Xiaoru living in the huge courtyard. Now that the nanny and Xiaoru are both on the street, the courtyard looks more deserted and quiet.

Li Wuchang was bored, walked into the garden, stopped and walked, and carefully looked at his garden.

The garden is really not small, with rockery, stone pavilions, corridors, lotus ponds, all kinds of vegetation, everything is available, and there is a large open space with a few weapon racks, but most of the weapons on them are rusty.

"It's really extravagant to have such a luxurious garden." Li Wuchang sighed, walked to a stone table, and sat down.A chill came to him, Li Wuchang didn't care, thinking about the fight with the third prince a few days ago.

This is a top priority, and I don't know how my father will punish me.

"Ahem..." There was a coughing sound.

"Who?" Li Wuchang stood up and looked around, but found nothing.

"Ahem..." The cough sounded again, more clearly.

Now Li Wuchang heard it clearly, followed the sound to the corner, and found a man in black lying in the withered grass not far from the dog hole, with blood on the corner of his mouth and heaving chest.

Although Li Wuchang was taken aback, he still walked forward immediately, patted the man in black on the face and shouted to wake up in a low voice, the man in black coughed again, coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was unconscious.

Li Wuchang touched his pulse and found that the pulse was extremely disordered, it seemed that he had hurt his lungs and his life was in danger at any time.

It's important to save people.

Li Wuchang supported the man in black, let him sit on the ground again, and carefully examined his pulse.

"Hey, the injury is too serious. It's a pity that I don't have golden needles in my hand now, otherwise there will be rescue." Li Wuchang frowned, thinking about how to proceed with the treatment.

After thinking for a while, Li Wuchang grabbed his head with both hands, pressed the man in black's temples with his thumbs, and massaged for a while, then pressed his left hand on the main point of his vest, and patted hard with his right hand.

"Pfft..." The man in black spat out a mouthful of black blood, opened his eyes, woke up, looked at Li Wuchang, and said, "Who are you, where is this?"

Li Wuchang made a silent movement, and said: "Don't talk, I will help you to the room first."

Before the words fell, Li Wuchang felt his throat tighten.

"You are from Dali Temple, Du Chengye sent you here?" The man in black suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Li Wuchang's neck, and said viciously.

Li Wuchang's eyes turned white and he had trouble breathing. If he could speak, he must tell the man in black the story of Mr. Dong Guo.

What kind of person sneaks into someone's house from a dog hole, and someone rescues him, but he doesn't want to repay him. The first thing he does after waking up is to strangle the neck of the savior. Grandma is a bear. If I know martial arts, sir, I will slap you unconscious, you white-eyed wolf, and then stuff it back into the dog hole, Li Wuchang thought bitterly.

Although he hated him extremely in his heart, Li Wuchang didn't want to be strangled to death by the man in black. He struggled desperately, pointed at his neck to the man in black, signaled that he was having difficulty breathing, and asked him to let go.

The man in black looked around, shook his head, and recalled what happened to him. Seeing that Li Wuchang was wrapped in bandages and his body was thin, he didn't look like a fast catcher. He realized that he might have wronged someone, so he let go. hand.

Li Wuchang took a few desperate breaths, and said angrily, "What are you doing, the young master kindly saved your life, and you just want to avenge your kindness like this, grandma is a bear, is there still the law of the king, is there still the law of heaven?" The neck tightened again .

The man in black grabbed Li Wuchang's neck again, and said fiercely: "Don't speak loudly, now I ask you a question and you answer it, keep your voice low, if you attract others, I will break your neck immediately, understand Yes, nod when you understand."

Damn, my life is important, Li Wuchang hurriedly nodded.

The man in black let go of his hands and stared at Li Wuchang carefully. Li Wuchang looked carefully at the big man in black who showed his fierce face, his nervous heartbeat accelerated, and he didn't dare to speak, for fear of offending this evil Rakshasa.

Seeing that Li Wuchang was honest, the man in black looked around again, and waved to Li Wuchang. The two moved together under a tall cypress tree and sat down. .

"Who are you, where is this?" the man in black asked.

"Li Wuchang, the fourth son of the Commander's Mansion, this is my yard." Li Wuchang replied cautiously.

"Commander's mansion? Li Lingwu, commander of the imperial guards, is that dog official." The man in black said to himself.

Although he was terribly afraid, Li Wuchang said boldly when it came to his father: "My father is not a dog official. He has always worked hard to protect the safety of the palace, and is deeply trusted by His Majesty."

The man in black said disdainfully: "To protect the dog emperor, what is it other than a dog official? Hmph, there is no good official in the imperial court. All of them only know how to use power to make money, but don't understand the suffering of the people."

It turned out to be an angry youth, Li Wuchang thought.

Hearing that he mentioned Du Chengye's chief arrest just now, he probably committed some serious crime and was hunted down by Dali Temple.

It is inappropriate to provoke him at this time, otherwise it is not good, Li Wuchang, the son of the "dog official", may be in danger, he has to find a way to get out, there is no one else in the yard, he can only rely on himself.

Li Wuchang exhaled, glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you secretly, I am also very dissatisfied with that... hey, that dog emperor."

The man in black sneered, obviously not believing it.

Li Wuxian continued, "Did you see the wound on my head? It was injured by the third prince Lu Xuanming. A few days ago, he molested a woman from a good family. Seeing the injustice, I stepped forward, but he Wounded with his guards, really, look at my head, is there blood on it?"

The man in black looked at Li Wuchang, showing a disdainful expression, and said: "I remembered, the fourth son of the Li family was beaten up by the third prince a few days ago, and it turned out to be you. It's jealousy, I've been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and I often see this kind of drama, but you have a little courage, dare to confront the prince."

Li Wuchang didn't expect that he was so "famous", he smiled slyly, thinking about a strategy, the man in black in front of him is not easy to fool.

After a long while, Li Wuchang rolled his eyes and said: "People from the Jianghu, well, although I am a dandy, I admire the heroes in the Jianghu most, because they are the most clear about grievances. I didn’t take the opportunity to denounce you when you were in a coma, but healed your wounds and saved your life. This is true, right? And you, indiscriminately, grabbed my neck when you woke up and wanted to kill your savior. Is this how you walk the rivers and lakes?"

The man in black looked Li Wuchang up and down, the playfulness in his eyes dissipated, and said: "Sure enough, I have a bit of guts. You are right. The most important thing for us to walk in the rivers and lakes is to distinguish between grievances and grievances. It was my fault just now."

After finishing speaking, he bowed and bowed his hands, apologizing to Li Wuchang.

Li Wuchang breathed a sigh of relief, and struck while the iron was hot: "I see you are hungry, I just happened to have a meal, and there is still a lot left, do you want to eat some, and then heal your wounds?"

The man in black raised his ears slightly, frowned, and said: "Someone is here, although you saved me, but you and I are not the same way, I will find a chance to return this love to you, I have committed a major event, I don't want to get involved You, this is the Commander’s Mansion again, it’s too dangerous for me, let’s leave now.”

somebody is coming?Where is someone?Li Wuchang looked around, but found no one.

The sound of breaking wind sounded.

The figure of the man in black flickered, jumped up the high wall, and disappeared in an instant.

Li Wuchang was dumbfounded, and murmured: "Qinggong? So cool!"

Although there are many masters in the Li family, no one has ever shown such a skill in front of Li Wuchang. Li Wuchang usually comes into contact with playboys, and fights with others like street hooligans. Where has he seen this kind of method? Fascinated.

"This guy's martial arts are so high, how could he climb a dog hole? What did this guy do? Tsk tsk, it's embarrassing for him to be able to slip through a small dog hole with such a strong body."

While talking to himself, Li Wuchang walked to the dog hole in the corner, squatted down, imagining the appearance of the man in black drilling the dog hole, and laughed, what is the air, why not just go through the dog hole as usual.

"Hey, what is this?" Li Wuchang saw something in the withered grass next to the dog hole.

Taking a closer look, they were two tattered books with some blood and dirt on them. Li Wuchang picked up these two books and was about to open them for a quick glance.

"Young Master Leng, Young Master Leng, where are you? I'm here to see you." A voice sounded.

Someone really came.

Li Wuchang was taken aback for a moment, quickly put the two torn books into his clothes, got up to greet the guests.

The old partner Han Dazhi is here.
