Chapter 358 Mutual Intuition

The two of them looked at each other, feeling a little worried. They were careless. Xu Huaiyi calmed down and said, "This Li Yuan will be a trouble and a threat..."

Gu Huanxi heard his subtext and was slightly shocked, "You want to get rid of him?"

Xu Huaiyi asked, "Is it surprising? Are you not used to it?"

Gu Huanxi nodded. As a time traveler, he was fundamentally opposed to taking human life unless it was for self-defense. Even children knew that murder was illegal, let alone him as a law enforcer.

She couldn't help but think, "Have you been assimilated by the powerful children in the academy and the rules of this era?"

Seeing that she was asking cautiously and her voice was tight, Xu Huaiyi deliberately didn't say anything. When her eyes showed concern and panic, he quickly smiled and said, "No, am I the kind of person who is not strong-willed?"

"Then you just..."

"Hey, I'm just kidding you."

Gu Huan angrily slapped him.

Xu Huaiyi felt refreshed after being beaten, "I'm afraid you will think that I am indecisive and not decisive enough. It seems that I am worried in vain..."

Gu Huanxi said, "It is always good to abide by the rules and the bottom line. Unless you are on the battlefield, I only have one request: to save your life."

Xu Huaiyi understood, hugged her, patted her, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I won't go to war, and I won't kill people randomly for my own benefit. Although Yao Changjun's death has something to do with me, it can't be counted." On my head, right? I feel no guilt anyway. As for Li Yuan, I think it was his fault that Xiaoyu was hunted down. Once he knew about Xiaoyu’s existence, he would definitely take action. That’s why he wanted to kill him first. Clean it up so that he doesn’t have the chance to hurt Xiaoyu again.”

"How to clean it up?"

"Don't worry, I won't engage in assassination. I will seize his leverage and kill him openly."

Gu Huanxi rubbed his brows, "The Yao family's matter has not been resolved yet, and you have found your next target. Can't you just stay calm for a few days?"

Xu Huaiyi said with an innocent face, "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. My wife, we are destined to have a hostile relationship with him. Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative. Only then can we have hope of victory."

Gu Huanxi, "..."

After all, he still likes to toss and fight, and he is not a peaceful person at heart. In his previous life, he was born in a peaceful era, and he had no chance. Now, his ambition can be regarded as suitable soil.

And she could only give a moderate reminder, but she couldn't stop it.

"If you decide, just do it. As I said before, safety first, nothing is more important than your life."

Xu Huaiyi's heart felt hot when he heard this, and he whispered in her ear, "Daughter-in-law, I will never give you the chance to be a widow."

"A promise of a thousand gold?"

"Never break your promise!"

When the young couple hugged each other and whispered, Li Yuan was also talking to his father in the study of Changlehou Mansion, but the atmosphere was not so good.

"It's such a troubled time right now. Why are you going to Hutian Village when you're not in the academy?" Marquis Changle sat behind the desk with a sullen face and a hint of questioning and displeasure in his tone.

Li Yuan said respectfully, "Hutian Village invited Master Huixin to preside over the opening ceremony of the temple today. My son went to have a look..."

"how?"

"The scene was not very grand, but it was very lively. Many families sent their servants to the scene to find out information. Only my son knew seven or eight families."

Changlehou looked at him steadily, "Then why did you go in person?"

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest with my father, my son is... feeling panicked. He doesn't sleep well at night unless he takes a look in person. He often has nightmares about that day..."

Changlehou interrupted sharply, "Shut up!"

Li Yuan lowered his head, "Father, there is no one else here, what can't we say? When you gave me that task, I was excited and happy. You finally saw my son. I was willing to give me a chance, but at the same time, I was anxious and uneasy, afraid that I would fail and let you down. Fortunately, I finally completed the task by luck, but since then..."

He had inner demons. As a teenager, he thought that if he killed a slave at home, he would see blood, and he was not afraid of anything. But when he saw so many people die overnight, he knew what fear was.

Seeing this, Chang Lehou softened his voice and said, "It's a bad father. At the beginning, I lacked some consideration. You were young and shouldn't have exposed you to those things early. Fortunately, it's all over now..."

Li Yuan said, "No, I didn't go there."

Marquis Changle's face sank, "Why didn't you go there? Those people are all dead. They died of the epidemic. There is no evidence of their death. As long as you don't tell others, who will know?"

Li Yuan murmured, "Yes, who would know?"

But there was a strong uneasiness in his heart. Hutian Village had changed so much that he felt a sense of crisis, so he took the risk and unexpectedly went to the site to check.

Those vacant houses were all occupied by people. A group of victims who had fled from Qingzhou were supposed to be nothing to worry about, but he was inexplicably flustered and always felt that if he didn't deal with it quickly, he would soon be doomed.

Seeing him like this, Marquis Changle couldn't help but think deeply, "Hutian Village is indeed a bit evil now. Just because Master Huixin condescended to come to such a remote place twice is enough to make people look at him with admiration."

Li Yuan suddenly raised his head, "Yes, this is the original intention of many people to inquire about the news. How many powerful families have condescended to invite Master Huixin, but he has found various reasons to refuse, but Hutian Village has something to ask him to come forward. , but he was punished, why did he give Hutian Village so much face? There must be something special about this village!"

Marquis Changle couldn't help but pay attention to it, "Then did you find out anything?"

Li Yuan said disappointedly, "Not yet. Everything looks normal. The victims are ordinary people. There is nothing strange. If I have to say the same thing, the villagers in Hutian Village are living a good life now. Almost every family has someone." Working to make money, the whole village appears to be prosperous and revitalized..."

Changlehou frowned, "What's the reason?"

Li Yuan said, "Because of Xu Huaiyi."

Marquis Changle was stunned for a moment. He was no stranger to the name Xu Huaiyi. During the disaster relief work, he had heard it mentioned many times and had seen it once from a distance, but he did not take it seriously. He was not even considered a son of a poor family. He entered the Jingwu Academy with some martial arts skills, but without connections, his career would not go far. Even if he became a disciple of Sun Yu, the help he could get would be limited.

But who would have thought that later, this man would slap him in the face with his own skills. Not only would he show his prominence in the academy, but he would also go to Datian to hear about it. He would be rewarded by the emperor and gain a good reputation. Even his classmates would follow him. Guang, this truly blessed general, he has also tried to win over him, but he has never found the opportunity.

Moreover, it is a bit late to get together now, unlike Su Zhe, Li Yunting and others who rushed to make friends with him before he was very prominent. However, comparing with Qiao Huaijin, that regret has been smoothed over. A lot.

Qiao Huaijin once seized the opportunity, but lost it again.

"It would have been nice if you had followed him in the disaster relief." After getting on that boat, my reputation had been restored.

Li Yuan smiled bitterly, "Yes, my son is short-sighted."

Marquis Changle did not criticize him harshly, and turned back to the previous topic, "You said that the changes in Hutian Village were because of Xu Huaiyi? Why?" Li Yuan explained, "Xu Huaiyi is eager for justice and has some business acumen. He He opened several workshops in the village, and the business was very good, requiring a lot of manpower. The villagers had a place to make money, and several nearby villages also benefited from it. I am grateful to him. "

Marquis Changle asked, "Is he doing business in cooperation with Su Zhe?"

Li Yuan said, "Yes, Su Zhe is very close to him. When my son looks at it, he is somewhat sincere. Because of their cooperation, Su Zhe is valued more and more by the second prince, which makes the eldest son of the Su family jealous. Secretly, He suppressed Su Zhe, but was defeated by Su Zhe. It seems that he and Xu Huaiyi have some new ideas recently..."

"This Xu Huaiyi is indeed a talent. It's a pity..." He was not discovered early and used by them.

Li Yuan said, "It's not the worst thing that he can't be used by us. My son is worried that he will become our enemy."

Changlehou's expression changed slightly, "What do you mean by this?"

Li Yuan shook his head, "If you ask me to tell you, I can't tell you. It's just my intuition. The second master of the Yao family, Yao Changming, had a grudge against Xu Huaiyi. He always wanted to take revenge, but he suffered from no chance and was afraid of the Sun family. Later, Yao Changming let him I helped think of a way to say that for his second uncle. I thought that this was also an opportunity to take advantage of Xu Huaiyi, so I sent someone to the Yao family, but who knew that the matter failed, and Xu Huaiyi was not able to take advantage of it at all... …”

Marquis Changle took over the words with a stern face, "Xu Huaiyi didn't fall for the trap, but the Yao family suffered retribution and was entangled by evil spirits, so that they fell into such a miserable situation today. They died and were injured. Yao Changyuan is still alive." Without fame, most of the Yao family has been ruined.”

For the sake of the remaining foundation, the emperor of Anping County might give Yao Changyuan some compensation.

Otherwise, Yao Changjun's death would be a bit unjust. By now, anyone with a brain should have realized that Yao Changjun was used as bait. He caught fish twice in a row, but failed to catch a big fish and even lost his life. It's too unfair. Worth it.

Li Yuan nodded stiffly, "If I hadn't known the depth of Xu Huaiyi's kung fu, I would have suspected that it was his counterattack that led to the Yao family's current fate."

Marquis Changle was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Arrange people to keep an eye on Xu Huaiyi and try not to be enemies."

Li Yuan said, "Yes, father, I will find someone smart and find a way to sneak into Xu Huaiyi's newly bought house."

"Is there anyone around him who can be bribed?"

"It's difficult, son, give it a try."

Marquis Changle reminded again, "What happened in Hutian Village five years ago is not allowed to be mentioned again. You'd better forget it completely, otherwise..."

If the trap is really revealed, the only choice is to push him out and sacrifice.

Li Yuan felt bitter and cold in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said solemnly, "Yes, father."

"Let's stay away from the Yao family from now on."

"The Yao family also has the head of Anping County..."

Marquis Changle waved his hand, "The head of Anping County is valued by the emperor again. Her surname is Meng, not Yao. The Yao family will not be able to calm down just because Yao Changjun is dead. I don't know what troubles will be caused in the future. It's far away." Click to avoid being implicated.”

"Debts are wiped out after death..."

Marquis Changle sneered, "Some things can't be eliminated, just wait and see."

Li Yuan did not dare to ask any more questions. He was already thinking about how to alienate Yao Changyuan quietly. This was too obvious and would not be good for his own reputation. He might also offend the head of Anping County. After thinking about this, he started to think about how to do it again. It would be easier to seduce people around Xu Huaiyi or bribe him.

He and Xu Huaiyi can be regarded as "similar but similar in approach". They both relied on intuition and wanted to take the initiative to deal with each other. It was God's will.

But they don't know each other yet.

The next day, Xu Huaiyi took his whole family to Zhuangzi to soak in the hot springs. Mr. Jiang also followed him, quietly sitting in the carriage and reading a book. At the agreed place, when Li Yunting waited, he did not show up.

Li Yunting, on the other hand, looked at the carriage calmly for several times. He didn't know who was sitting in the carriage, but he could feel that the old servant who drove the carriage was not a simple man. He seemed ordinary, but in fact he was a martial artist. Learn from the masters.

When they arrived at Zhuangzi, Mr. Jiang didn't need Xu Huaiyi to entertain him. He seemed to be familiar with the place and took his old servant to find a suitable hot spring to soak in.

Xu Huaiyi didn't get what he asked for. He was still worried about how to introduce each other if they all got together and faced each other.

This saves trouble.

He only needed to greet Li Yunting, then he picked up his son, picked an open-air pool, put on the short-sleeved shorts made by Gu Huanxi, and jumped in boldly. The water splashed Gu Xiaoyu's face, and he Laughing loudly, Gu Xiaoyu was speechless. Although this was not his biological father, he was better than his biological father. What else could he do besides coddling him?

Gu Xiaoyu also wore the same clothes and got into the water. He was not comfortable at first, but slowly the pores on his body seemed to expand as the water soaked him. Then he relaxed and leaned against the stone wall, half-squinting his eyes in comfort.

When Xu Huaiyi saw this, he joked that he looked like a middle-aged and elderly man of several decades while bathing in hot springs. He only had to hold a thermos cup filled with wolfberries.

How lively should a child be? What about the fuss? What if people hate dogs?

Gu Xiaoyu ignored Xu Huaiyi's teasing until he couldn't bear it any longer, and then he helplessly called out "Dad".

Xu Huaiyi then gave him a pear and let him go. He turned to Li Yunting and said, seemingly complaining but actually showing off proudly, "My son is good at everything. He is handsome and smart at reading. But his temper is not lovable enough. Too young and old, children should be naughty and playful, but he is not, he is more stable than me as a father. "

Li Yunting sat on the stone wall opposite the two men. Seeing that the two men were wearing the same style of clothes, their appearance, temperament, and temperament were all different, but it gave him the illusion that they were harmonious. Although they didn't have any weird behavior, he felt They must get along very well with each other. They are not father and son, but better than father and son.

He was envious in his heart and raised the corner of his mouth, "You are both very lucky to each other, and you are both blessed people."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoyu ate the pear. He was indeed lucky to have met Xu Huaiyi, but Xu Huaiyi picked him up, which may not be a blessing. At that time, he just wanted someone to rely on, but now, he feels a little regretful and guilty.

But he can no longer leave, he is too reluctant to leave this home.

As for Xu Huaiyi, he took his words seriously and joked, "Are you envious? If you are envious, marry a wife and have a son as soon as possible."

Li Yunting shook his head, "I'm not in a hurry. If I could, I wouldn't even want to marry."

I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to withstand my mother's tears and pleas.

"why?"

"The wife I married is just to help Dingyuan Houfu. It's meaningless. She may bring me countless troubles."

"Try to find someone who is compatible with you."

"Marquis Dingyuan will not give me a chance, and my mother only obeys his orders. He only values ​​interests. In fact, my future marriage will not be much better than that of Su Zhe. It is even more different than yours." ”

"..."

Is this a compliment to him?
